After all, entering the Epang Palace this time, they might see His Majesty.

Bringing weapons inside was a very impolite thing to do.

And bringing weapons to see His Majesty was a rebellious act.

Fortunately, this place was far from the Heavenly Platform.

Otherwise, their commotion would have disturbed the people on the square long ago.

"Don't make such a loud noise later."

"With so many people in front, it wouldn't be good to interrupt the sacrifice."

Ying Ying Zi Ye lifted his leg and walked towards the square.

On the other side of the square, it was the 'Heavenly Platform'.

Walking on foot, not making any sound.

At this time, it was not far from the sacrificial altar.

Civil and military officials and members of the royal clan stood quietly here.

Ying Ying Zi Ye also stood behind them.

The crowd in front was too focused and didn't notice people coming behind them.

Ying Ying Zi Ye didn't pay attention to the people in front either.

But looked at the sacrificial altar quietly.

One could see nine simple and unadorned bronze tripods placed on the altar.

The bronze tripods full of the vicissitudes of time had a nice name—the Nine Tripods of the Nine Provinces.

These were the artifacts of the Chinese nation, passed down from Great Yu's flood control.

These Nine Tripods were the Jizhou Tripod, Yanzhou Tripod, Qingzhou Tripod, Xuzhou Tripod, Yangzhou Tripod, Jingzhou Tripod, Yuzhou Tripod, Liangzhou Tripod, and Yongzhou Tripod.

The tripods were cast with the mountains, rivers, famous objects, and strange birds and beasts of each province.

The Nine Tripods symbolized the Nine Provinces, and there was no order in their placement.

The Nine Tripods had long been collected by the Qin Qin Shi Huang of Qin to the Great Qin capital, Xianyang City.

To show that Great Qin had become the master of the Nine Provinces, and the world was unified from then on.

Now the Nine Tripods had actually been moved to the Epang Palace by Brother Zheng.

It shows that Brother Zheng intended to move here to live permanently.

But that's right, Xianyang City was becoming more and more crowded.

Now that the new capital had been built, if he didn't move in now, when would he?

And these Nine Tripods subsequently became the location of "Heaven's Mandate," a symbol of the supreme imperial power and the unified and prosperous country.

In the past, Great Yu called the Nine Tripods the treasure of the country, and when various feudal lords came to pay homage, they all had to bow down to the Nine Tripods.

From then on, the Nine Tripods became the most important ritual vessels of the country.

Now the Nine Tripods were collected by Brother Zheng and placed on the Heavenly Platform.

The Nine Tripods were also the treasure of Great Qin.

On the huge sacrificial altar, the Nine Tripods stood in the center.

Vaguely, one could see that the tripods were filled with various items.

Sacrifice was nothing more than food like beef, sheep, pork, fish, dried meat, intestines, skin, fresh fish, fresh dried meat, etc.

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at the Nine Tripods blankly.

For some reason in later generations, the Nine Tripods disappeared.

Now seeing the Nine Tripods, his thoughts also fell into contemplation.

He didn't even notice when General Meng Tian Tian and the others came to his side.

General Meng Tian Tian and the others looked at the Nine Tripods on the sacrificial altar solemnly.

Everyone felt incomparably peaceful in their hearts.

Not a single sound was made.

This was a symbol of imperial power.

It was also their faith.

In the center of the Nine Tripods, after the Qin Qin Shi Huang burned incense and worshipped.

He silently closed his eyes and stood quietly.

General Meng Tian Tian and the others looked at that figure with burning eyes.

The man who swept away the Six Kingdoms and unified the world.

Who dared not to respect, who was not convinced?

They had spent their whole lives supporting this man.

On the huge square stood the civil and military officials of the court.

The scene was silent, all quietly waiting for something.

Don't know how long had passed.

A voice sounded on the altar.

"Sacrifice·Complete!"

"The Epang Palace is built, symbolizing that Great Qin has entered a new field."

"Today, His Majesty the Qin Qin Shi Huang officially moves into the number one palace in the world—the Epang Palace!"

The excited voice of the royal clan member presiding over the sacrifice resounded throughout the venue.
