Chapter 368 The Timeline for the Promotion to a Dynasty is Confirmed
"His Majesty."
The Imperial Astronomical Bureau Chief hurried into the Imperial Study.
"Is the date set?"
Qin Wu inquired.
At present, the Qin State's Imperial Observatory has only one thing to do: to calculate the date of promotion.
The arrival of the Director of the Imperial Observatory clearly indicates that the date has been confirmed.
"Yes, Your Majesty, we have finally calculated the most suitable day. The Lantern Festival in 16 years will be the best day in ten thousand years, the most suitable day for the dynasty's advancement."
The Imperial Observatory then reported the events of that day in detail to Qin Wu.
Qin Wu listened quietly.
By the time the Director of the Imperial Observatory finished his report, almost an hour had passed.
"Alright, then let's set it for the Lantern Festival in the 26th year of Shenwu. Go and make the preparations!"
Qin Wu nodded and immediately set the date.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go and make the preparations immediately."
The Director of the Imperial Observatory took his leave.
"Summon the Minister of Rites to see me."
Qin Wu gave instructions to Yu Shu, who was standing to the side.
"Yes."
Not long after, the Minister of Rites arrived at the Imperial Study.
"See Your Majesty."
"No need for formalities. This is from the Imperial Observatory. I have set a date: on the Lantern Festival of the 26th year of Shenwu, my Qin Kingdom will be promoted to the Qin Dynasty. You need to start preparing."
Qin Wu gave the memorial sent by the Imperial Observatory to the Minister of Rites.
The Minister of Rites received the memorial and, after listening to Qin Wu's words, was overjoyed.
A dynasty is rising!
This was a day that everyone in the Qin state had been looking forward to.
They were all waiting for the date calculated by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.
I thought it would take a long time to set a date, but I didn't expect this good news to come so suddenly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured, I will go and make preparations immediately, and there will absolutely be no problems."
The Minister of Rites spoke with some excitement.
"Alright, go and prepare!"
Qin Wu waved for the Minister of Rites to leave.
The Minister of Rites took his leave and hurriedly returned to the Ministry of Rites after leaving the Imperial Study to begin making arrangements.
He began instructing people to prepare everything according to the list in the memorial submitted by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.
"Yu Shu, go to the cabinet yourself and tell its members to cooperate with the Ministry of Rites to gather all the necessary items."
"And I also warned them that if anyone dares to cause trouble for me during this promotion, don't blame me for pulling out their souls and burning them like lanterns."
Qin Wu gave instructions to Yu Shu.
"Yes, slave, go right away."
Yu Shu accepted the order.
Soon, news of the confirmed date for the dynasty's ascension spread.
Upon hearing the news, Qin Lang and the others went directly to the Imperial Study.
"Your Majesty, I heard the date for the promotion has been set?"
Qin Lang inquired.
"It's confirmed. Preparations for the Lantern Festival in the 26th year of Shenwu have already begun."
Qin Wu spoke calmly, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
"It'll be quick. What do you need us to do?"
Qin Lang was finally relieved to hear that Qin Wu had personally confirmed the time.
He came to this region specifically for this day.
They had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
"I order you not to inform the higher authorities about this matter. This is of utmost importance and absolutely no mistakes can be made."
"Tell the higher-ups that too many unexpected changes have occurred."
After Qin Wu finished speaking, he glanced at the four people.
"Don't worry, since you've brought it up, I definitely won't report it. It's also a matter of my interests."
Qin Lang said affirmatively.
"The King of Qin is right. This concerns our interests, and we will absolutely not spread it."
The barbarian king nodded and said.
The same applies to King Zhou and King Gu.
After all, people are selfish. When it comes to their own interests, how could they possibly act recklessly?
Especially these days, as the Qin Kingdom grows stronger and its fortune increases, this region also becomes more powerful, making their cultivation much easier.
Moreover, they are able to find a place within the spatial turbulence.
It can be said that they are completely bound to Qin Wu, and at this moment, they know better than anyone else which is more important.
"Yes, that would be best. Don't blame me for being harsh this time. Anyone who dares to ruin my plans will face my personal wrath."
"Also, how is the formation of your army going?"
"If we succeed, we'll face wars with other domains. We might not be able to withstand them."
Qin Wu warned the four men.
They were also asked about their military affairs. The existence of the four royal families was to guard the four directions and fight wars with other domains.
This is also their responsibility as royalty.
"Don't worry, everything is ready. Once we get back, we'll send some out to guard the realm. Once we succeed and the battlefield passage appears, we'll send a message back immediately."
Qin Lang spoke up.
He had already assembled the army, and they were currently training.
He even went to Qi Ye and his group to borrow their generals to help them train their troops.
The army is now fully formed.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, we are also ready and can be deployed to the battlefield at any time."
The three barbarian kings also spoke in unison.
"That's good. Besides you, the twelve noble clans and the thirty-six marquis clans will also send troops to various places."
"We must ensure that no problems arise."
"By the way, send someone to look for those rats in the Immortal Sect and see if they've been cleaned up."
Qin Wu continued to explain.
This was also the powerful clan he enfeoffed upon ascending the throne, the true elite, and the core of the Qin state.
Of course, besides these nobles, there were also dukes and marquises, but their titles could not be passed down.
To inherit a title, one must achieve merit and challenge the noble families to seize their positions.
This was Qin Wu's deliberate act, so that all the tribes would feel a sense of crisis.
The thirty-six noble clans can also challenge the twelve ducal clans; if they succeed, they can take their place.
As for royalty, those who cannot be challenged are not qualified to be challenged either.
However, the four royal families are also ranked, and a ranking battle held once every thousand years determines their resource allocation.
Only these ethnic groups are qualified to establish tribal armies, independent armies belonging to them.
They will guard their fiefdoms and also the borders.
"Yes, we will send strong individuals to inspect various regions."
The four men immediately accepted the order.
"Alright, King Qin, you should also personally go to the sea beast and sea monster races again and give them a good talking-to, so they don't cause trouble at this crucial moment."
Qin Wu then gave instructions to Qin Lang and the other three.
Since they've taken the benefits, they should do something about it. Otherwise, what's the point of giving so many resources to raise a bunch of ungrateful wretches who only listen to orders and never listen to commands?
"Yes."
"Let's leave it at that for now! Go back and prepare properly."
After making the arrangements, Qin Wu said nothing more and dismissed the four men.
Someone was sent to inform the twelve noble clans and the thirty-six marquis clans, so that they could also begin to take action.
These are his loyal followers, and they will absolutely obey his orders.
It will also be the force he uses to restrain the four royal families in the future.
Upon receiving Qin Wu's order, the twelve noble clans and thirty-six marquis clans immediately sprang into action.
Large armies began to roam throughout the Qin state, eliminating any unstable elements.
