Chapter 186 Ancient Secrets, Canonization Ceremony

Emperor Qin, the man who stood at the top of the Great Qin Empire Pyramid.

He holds half of the power in this world, and can cut off the life and death of tens of millions of people with a single word.

What kind of person would such a person be?

Should I say it or not, Qin Mo was very curious.

In the era of his previous life, there was no such status as an emperor, but he had seen many records in history books.

The world's evaluation of the emperor is mostly mixed.

There is a good side and a bad side.

However, the Great Qin Empire in this world has a very high opinion of the Qin Emperor, who has been in office for more than a hundred years.

This Emperor Qin advocated peaceful development, and he never took the initiative to provoke a war in office, but this was not a manifestation of incompetence.

Every time after Qi State took the lead in provoking troubles, Daqin would return with a more forceful posture, and even display more serious ambitions.

Moreover, this Emperor of Qin used talents and abilities. During his reign, he vigorously supported wise people without family backgrounds to take up important positions in various departments, so that the real sons of poor families had a chance to rise to the top.

All of this is open and transparent, completely presented in front of the world.

Therefore, the citizens of the empire respect him very much.

If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Qin had lived in the restricted area of ​​the imperial family for a long time in recent years, and did not show his face easily, which invisibly weakened his sense of existence, the prestige of the imperial family would have far surpassed that of the five great families.

Qin Mo's previous thinking was no different from other people's, but when he really stepped into this class, he realized that there were a lot of dark transactions in it.

Benefits are everything, and Emperor Qin is not so wise.

In particular, he and the royal family have now formed a death feud, and one of the two sides must perish before it ends.

And the one who fell must not be him.

Thinking of this, Qin Mo's eyes couldn't help flickering three points.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "By the way... will His Majesty know about these plans made by the royal family?"

Hearing this, Li Mou frowned slightly, and replied after a little thought:

"Although His Majesty is weak and born with shortcomings, he should be aware of this important plan related to the future structure of Great Qin.

However, he should not be the mastermind behind the scenes. According to the deduction of the elders, the current situation should be a strategy set up by the previous Qin Emperor during his reign.

In the hundreds of years since then, the previous Emperor Qin has been secretly coordinating. "

"Huh? The previous Emperor Qin is still alive?" Qin Mo raised his eyebrows.

Li Moulue glanced at him in surprise, and said lightly: "Of course he is not dead, otherwise where do you think those old things from the royal family came from?

You have to know that every emperor of Great Qin has a realm of strength in himself, except for His Majesty, the previous few emperors were all in the realm of Great Heavenly Kings.

And the physical functions of the great heavenly kings have far surpassed that of ordinary people, and it is not a problem to live for hundreds of years. After they abdicate, they will be like the emperors, sitting high in the clouds, overlooking every corner of Daqin.

In many things that happened in the empire, their shadows can actually be seen. "

Hearing this, Qin Mo couldn't help frowning, and continued to ask: "How many emperors has the empire had so far?"

"Not counting the founders of the country, there are five in total, and each reigned for more than two hundred years." Li Mou replied.

"Doesn't that mean that there are at least five peak kings in the royal family?"

"Well……"

For this question, Li Mou didn't answer so clearly, he showed a thoughtful look, and said slowly:

"Accordingly, there are indeed five, but the Presbyterian Church... has always said that there are only three, and I don't know why."

Seeing this, Qin Mo became more suspicious.

Now he mainly has a problem that he can't figure out. If the royal family has five peak kings, how can it be called a decline?

You know, there are only five of the five families in total, and they may not be able to defeat the royal family together.

What's the secret behind this?

How many secrets did the Great Qin Empire hide during the millennium of its rise?

The study fell into silence, and both of them fell into short thoughts, but at this moment, a faint voice suddenly sounded from the corner.

"It's very simple, five out of three, and the other two are dead and one is missing."

This is the voice of the second ancestor.

Qin Mo and Li Mou turned their heads to look together, and saw the second ancestor sitting on a chair in the corner, with his legs crossed habitually, still holding the yellowed ancient book in his hand.

Listening to his answer, the two couldn't help but widen their eyes with surprise.

The peak king, one died and one disappeared...

What kind of horror is this?

That is the pinnacle of combat power in this world, it can almost be said to be wanton and arbitrary.

And such a person would actually use the words disappearance and death to explain, what kind of secret is hidden in it?

Qin Mo showed doubts on his face, and asked what was on his mind.

After hearing this, Li Er waved his hands casually, and said with a smile: "Although the peak of the Great Heavenly King is the peak of combat power, he is not truly invincible, so don't think too much about it.

Among them, the founder Taizu was the one who disappeared. At that time, I remember that Daqin had only been founded for more than a hundred years, and the current confrontation with Qi had not yet formed, and wars broke out between the two countries from time to time.

The ancestors of our aristocratic families can't live a stable life now, and they have to go to battle every now and then.

And at that time, on an ordinary day, Taizu was sitting on the northern border, and suddenly... disappeared.

It was as if he had evaporated out of thin air, in short, he suddenly lost sight of Taizu's figure. "

Li Er showed the look of reminiscence, and continued: "Since then, we concealed the news and forcibly stayed at the border for many days, but the Taizu never showed up.

Later, wars broke out frequently, and the empire lost a top fighter, so it had to retreat steadily and temporarily avoid the edge. Since then, the current situation has gradually formed. The overall strength of Daqin is inferior to that of Qi.

It was precisely because of the disappearance of the Taizu that the five thousand-year-old aristocratic families had thoughts that should not have arisen, and they all regained their power one after another, thus gaining a transcendent status.

Otherwise, the empire would probably be the same as the state of Qi now, with all the power under the control of the royal family.

Of course, there are never ifs in the world, everything is predestined.

Otherwise, with Taizu's means, where is the Qi State now? "

In the words, he did not conceal his admiration for Taizu.

Li Er didn't shy away from it, he just stated the reasons for the rise of the five great masters so straightforwardly, without any beautification or processing.

What was the truth then is what he says now.

After speaking, the study fell into a brief silence again.

It was the first time for Li Mou to hear the secret of this level. His expression was completely dull, and his breathing became unconsciously heavy.

As for Qin Mo who was standing aside, he didn't have such a big reaction.

He was more puzzled, how did Taizu suddenly disappear, but it is difficult for him to get an answer to this question now.

It was obvious from Li Er's appearance that he didn't know either.

Qin Mo had no choice but to keep this doubt in his heart and wait for a chance to explore it in the future.

"What happened to that death?" He then asked curiously.

Hearing this, the corner of Li Er's mouth curled up into a half-smile imperceptibly, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and said lightly:

"The peak heavenly king who died was the second emperor selected by Daqin from the descendants of Taizu's bloodline after Taizu's inexplicable disappearance.

When he took office for nearly two hundred years, there was a turmoil in the empire, and then he died. "

"What???!"

Li Mou exclaimed uncontrollably, and said in shock: "Because of a turmoil, a peak king died? This... this is too unbelievable.

What kind of turmoil is it that involves so much? I am familiar with the general history records of the clan, but why have I never seen a single word? "

"Well... I don't know." Li Er spread his hands and did not elaborate.

Obviously, he was hiding something.

Seeing this, Li Mou was very sensible and didn't ask any more questions, but chose to keep silent.

Qin Mo also didn't ask any questions, because...

He had guessed the answer by himself.

Taizu disappeared for more than a hundred years, and the second Emperor Qin was killed for nearly two hundred years...

In total, it is about three hundred years.

In other words, seven hundred years ago.

And what happened seven hundred years ago?

Apart from Li Day's night of insanity and massacre of thousands of miles, what other major event could there be?

There is only one possibility for this unlucky Qin Huang who died, and that is that he was directly slaughtered by Li Da who sealed the demon!

Qin Mo couldn't help being shocked.

The dead Qin Huang was already the pinnacle of the Great Heavenly King, the pinnacle of combat power, so how powerful is Li Da...?

No wonder the five families kept silent about that night, and even blocked the news in a very tacit understanding, covering the truth in history with a thick fog.

According to what Li Ershi just said, everything can be explained.

Of course, there are still many mysteries that have not yet been answered.

For example, why Taizu disappeared, why Li Da went crazy for no reason, and after the genetic power was tapped to the extreme... what kind of horror will appear?

These need to be explored slowly in the follow-up, but they are not things that need to be considered now.

The question before Qin Mo was the grand ceremony two days later, and...

What is the identity of the spiritually awakened person hidden in the royal clan?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help squinting his eyes, and various thoughts flashed through his mind.

Afterwards, Qin Mo turned to look at Li Mou, and said to him:

"I will attend the ceremony on time."

Hearing this, Li Mou recovered from the shock and subconsciously nodded.

At this time, the corner became empty again.

The Second Patriarch disappeared at some point, as if he just appeared to answer Qin Mo's doubts.

So, in the next two days, the imperial capital was peaceful.

The news of Prince Jin's death did not spread out. Obviously, the royal family chose to conceal it from the outside world, and did not want to continue to bring panic to the citizens of Daqin.

After all, although Qin Mo killed this person, he couldn't say it out loud.

The royal family didn't have any evidence at all, so they could only forcefully swallow this dumb person into their stomachs.

They even need to canonize Qin Mo as the youngest Duke in the history of the empire in front of everyone, so that his reputation among the people will be raised to a higher level...

How aggrieved is this?

As the saying goes, a dumb man who eats Coptis chinensis can't tell the pain.

At this time, the faces of the royal kings sitting around the canonization ceremony can be described as extremely ugly.

They wished they could go in and bury Qin Mo alive, but their own strength didn't allow them, so they could only grit their teeth and stare blankly.

The strength of Prince Jin is obvious to all. Qin Mo's ability to kill him quietly has proved everything.

For this Great Heavenly King who is only twenty-three years old, everyone's fear in their hearts is actually greater than their hatred.

The canonization ceremony this time was basically the same as last time, it was broadcast live for the whole of Daqin.

Although the citizens of the empire have seen Qin Mo's photos in major media reports, they are still full of expectations in their hearts. They want to see what kind of handsome young man this man who has made great contributions to the empire is. .

After the professionals narrated Qin Mo's incomparably shining and brilliant resume with emotion and emotion, the canonization ceremony finally reached the most critical part.

Qin Mo stepped onto the high platform, facing countless spotlights, with a calm face and indifferent eyes.

He didn't make any preparations, but changed into a black dress specially made for him by the Li family of Qingyang. The black dress was embroidered with golden patterns, twisting and twisting into clouds.

Other than that, there are no other frills.

The hall fell into a moment of calm, and everyone restrained their breath, looking at Qin Mo on the high platform.

There was not much surprise or surprise in their eyes, as if...

Everything is as it should be.

Qin Mo should look like that, and he should stand in that position.

Daqin's sixth Duke should belong to him from beginning to end.

This is a very strange feeling, but this feeling appears in the hearts of everyone at this moment, and what finally converges is that sentence...

Everything is as it should be.

"Your Majesty is here!"

Suddenly, a high-pitched voice suddenly sounded in the hall, with an extremely long tail.

Behind the side of the high platform, Qin Huang, whose face was as pale as a dead man, wore a black robe of Kowloon, and walked out slowly with a faint smile.

Crash.

All the people in the hall, regardless of their identities and status, all stood up, bowed and saluted in the direction of Emperor Qin, and shouted loudly.

Seeing this, Qin Huang just smiled slightly, nodded faintly, raised his hand to everyone, and said softly:

"No need to be polite."

When the words fell to the ground, everyone once again shouted in unison to thank His Majesty, and only then did they return to their previous appearance.

Qin Mo on the high platform also straightened up, and at the same time looked at the emperor who had been curious for a long time from the corner of his eye.

He just stood there, looking at Qin Huang who was getting closer and closer to him, his pupils trembled slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed quietly in the depths of his eyes.

But this doubt was well concealed by him, and no one noticed.

However, Qin Mo quietly released his spiritual perception.
