    "Also, His Majesty the First Emperor's Long Bookcase." The middle-aged people, Xu Kan and Xiao He couldn't help but tense up when they heard Lu Yuanpeng mentioning the First Emperor. Lu Wen on the side looked at it with an anxious look.  Looking at Lu Yuanpeng, he was extremely nervous.  You must know that the title of First Emperor is not something that anyone can mention casually if they want to. If there is an occasional disagreement in the words, you may be convicted, and it is not uncommon to even lose your head because of it.  What¡¯s more, Lu Yuanpeng¡¯s words are even more inappropriate.  Since the Xia and Shang Dynasties, no one has dared to call the emperor's writing case a dragon writing case.  The theory of dragon has existed since ancient times. Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there has been the Kui dragon totem.  However, the Kui dragon at that time was quite different from the dragons of later generations.  According to "The Classic of Mountains and Seas. Dadonghuang Jing", the Kui dragon is shaped like an ox, with a barn body and no horns. It has one leg. When it goes in and out of water, wind and rain will accompany it. Its light is like the sun and moon, and its sound is like thunder.  The appearance of the dragon in the Qin Dynasty has changed again from that of the Kui dragon in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. It has two wings to serve as a dragon.  In addition, from ancient times to the Qin Dynasty, there are many legends about the appearance of dragons.  ??As Xunzi said, the dragon is a snake, which has no legs and can fly; the dragon in Qu Yuan's mouth is a dragon with scales, a Qiu with horns, a chinchilla without horns, and a dragon with wings.  As for the dragons in folklore, they are even more varied and have different shapes.  Some say that the dragon has the head of a horse and the tail of a snake; some say that the dragon has the shape of antlers, ox ears, a camel head, rabbit eyes, a snake neck, a mirage belly, fish scales, tiger paws, and eagle claws.  And so on and so forth.  Despite this, the dragon has been regarded as a mythical beast and monster from ancient times to the Qin Dynasty. Not only does it have no direct and inevitable connection with the emperor's imperial power, but to a certain extent, it is even a kind of blasphemy to associate the dragon with the emperor.  Of course, if the First Emperor himself liked it, that would be another matter.  In fact, the relationship between dragons and emperors began with Sima Qian's history writing.  The dragon was truly associated with imperial power starting from the Tang Dynasty.  However, the dragon was truly used as a symbol of the emperor only in the Ming Dynasty.  It¡¯s just that how did Lu Yuanpeng know this? He always thought that the first emperor would be called the ancestral dragon in later generations. Naturally, this dragon had long been associated with the emperor and the emperor. It was only natural that the dragon book case that would be familiar to later generations came from his mouth.  But he didn¡¯t know that his words about Long Shuan would probably make him lose his head.  After Lu Yuanpeng said this sentence, it was like an eagle entering the forest, all the birds were silent, and there was no sound in the elegant room for a while.  The expression on Xu Kan's face kept changing, from the initial shock to uncertainty, and his pair of small eyes glanced at the middle-aged man aside from time to time.  After Xiao He was stunned, his expression quickly calmed down, but his pair of deep eyes swept over Lu Yuanpeng, Xu Kan and the middle-aged man from time to time. Obviously, he still could not hide the extreme uneasiness in his heart.  As for Lu Wen, his legs were already weak at this time. If it weren't for his hands pressing on the brightly painted table, Lu Wen would have collapsed on the ground.  However, the middle-aged man¡¯s demeanor is the most elusive.  The middle-aged man¡¯s face was stunned at first, and then gradually revealed a look of surprise, and he stared at Lu Yuanpeng without saying anything.  The strange expressions of everyone made Lu Yuanpeng confused for a moment. He really couldn't understand how everyone could suddenly become like this.  But one thing he was sure of was that there must be something wrong with what he just said.  It¡¯s just that he would never have thought that his words were not only inappropriate, but also deeply inappropriate.  "Bold!" Xu Kan shouted, breaking the calm in the private room.  "Is His Majesty the First Emperor something that you, a little county captain, can praise casually? Why don't you step down quickly?" Xu Kan's words were obviously evasive and he wanted to repel Lu Yuanpeng, and then explain on camera to excuse Lu Yuanpeng.  ¡°Slow down.¡± The middle-aged man suddenly waved his hand to stop Xu Kan.  Lu Yuanpeng could tell from the looks on Lu Wen, Xiao He, and Xu Kan that one of his words must have caused trouble.  Although he couldn't figure out what went wrong, Lu Yuanpeng knew that Xu Kan was helping him.  Just when he was about to take advantage of Xu Kan's scolding to retreat, the middle-aged man stopped him with a loud shout, and Lu Yuanpeng's heart sank.  As the middle-aged man stopped shouting, Lu Wen's face turned pale, a large amount of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his somewhat absent-minded eyes stared at the middle-aged man.  This shout also made Xiao He and Xu Kan look nervous.  Xu Kan looked helpless and glared at Lu Yuanpeng fiercely, waiting for the middle-aged man's next words.  Who would have thought that after he stopped drinking, a smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and??The smile is getting thicker and thicker.  The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and slowly sat down, holding on to the armrest of the seat next to him, with unconcealable excitement in his tone.  "True appearance." The middle-aged man waved his hand and motioned for the nervous Xu Kan to sit down as well.  Xu Kan¡¯s real name is Xu Kan, but no one in Pei County is qualified to call him Xu Kan. The middle-aged man is obviously close to Xu Kan.  "Zhenrong, congratulations to you." The middle-aged man's words shocked Xu Kan, who had just sat down, to stand up again.  "Brother, please don't scare me. Why should I be so happy? Lieutenant Lu just made a slip of the tongue. He was just trying to suppress the bandits" The middle-aged man shook his head with a smile, grabbed Xu Kan, and dragged him to the  on the chair.  "Zhen Rong must have heard of the theory of the beginning and end of the five virtues?" The so-called theory of the beginning and end of the five virtues is the theory of the five elements written by Zou Yan, a native of Qi during the Warring States Period.  Its core is that "the five virtues are transferred, each treatment has its own appropriateness, and the talisman corresponds to the suffering".  This means that the emperor must have one virtue. When this virtue declines, another of the five virtues will take its place.  The five virtues are earth virtue, fire virtue, gold virtue, water virtue and wood virtue.  The virtue of earth is yellow, the virtue of fire is red, the virtue of gold is white, the virtue of water is black, and the virtue of wood is green.  Ordinary people may not know these things. Among the people in the room, except Lu Yuanpeng, they don¡¯t understand what the middle-aged people call the end of the five virtues. Xu Kan, Xiao He, and Lu Wen don¡¯t know.  The middle-aged man's demeanor was completely different from what Xu Kan thought. I thought that Lu Yuanpeng would cause a big disaster and the middle-aged man would be extremely angry. However, instead of being angry, the middle-aged man even smiled and talked to him about the end of the five virtues.  Xu Kan was a little confused for a moment.  Xu Kan nodded and looked at the middle-aged man in confusion, not knowing what to say.  Xiao He and Lu Wen also calmed down and thought nervously about the meaning of the middle-aged man's words.  The middle-aged man smiled and said softly: "Zhen Rong, do you know about the black dragon hunted by Duke Wen in the past?" Duke Wen was the second generation monarch of the Qin State who was classified as a prince. He was quite accomplished. He once expelled the Xirong and expanded the territory.  .  Legend has it that he once hunted a black dragon while hunting.  Xu Kan knew this legend, but why did the middle-aged man suddenly talk about it now?  Xu Kan was still a little confused.
