Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 248 Han Xin soars into the sky (second update)
"Mister is a great talent, Liu Ji is convinced!" After a long silence, Liu Ji bowed deeply to Han Xin again: "Please wait for three days, sir, Liu Ji bathes and changes clothes, sets up the general altar, and worships sir as a general!"

"The king repays his letter with a gentleman of the state, and the letter must be repaid with a soldier of the state!" At this moment, Han Xin looked calm, and there was a trace of soaring majesty on his body.

……

After Han Xin left, Liu Ji smiled slightly and said, "Cao Shen, you also met Han Xin today, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Cao Shen's expression paused, and he solemnly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, when I saw Han Xin today, I know that there are such strange people in the world."

"What the prime minister said is true. This person is talented enough to be a general of the three armies."

After listening to Han Xin's nonsense, Cao Shen was completely convinced.In this era, celebrities are the most respected and welcomed, and Cao Shen is naturally one of them.

In particular, Han Xin pointed out the embarrassment of the three counties in Liaodong at once, which gave them hope.For the three counties of Liaodong who were struggling in confusion, it undoubtedly gave them a new life.

Cao Shen didn't know about the others, but he completely worshiped Han Xin's talent.

In an instant, Liu Ji's heart was surging, and he said silently: "Cao Can, build a general altar and build a general's mansion within three days, can it be done?"

Cao Shen was silent for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, three days are enough to build the General's Altar. But it is far from enough to build a General's Mansion."

"However, there is a mansion in the endless city that is not used for other purposes. It can be rebuilt. I wonder what the king wants?"

Hearing this, Liu Ji smiled and said, "Why not? Of course it's great."

……

After being silent for a long time, Liu Ji clapped his hands suddenly: "Since that's the case, Cao will participate in the prime minister's preparations, and the three armies will pay homage to the general in three days."

"I obey!" With a nod, Cao Shen strode away.

Three days is too urgent, even if there is an old mansion to be rebuilt, it will be a hassle.What's more, there is a need to build a general altar, plus the worship of the generals by the three armies, the selection of venues, etc., it can be said that there are actually a lot of things.

At this moment, Cao Shen would dare to wait longer.

……

Three days passed in a flash, and after three days and three nights of continuous construction, the General's Mansion, which was renovated from the original mansion, was completed.

There are few pedestrians on the long street.On the streets paved with bluestone strips, due to disrepair for a long time, there are potholes, and grass grows at the joints of bluestone strips.

Entering the depths of the long street, there is a newly expanded carriage and horse field with a radius of more than ten feet. There are dozens of horse-tying stone piles neatly arranged in the east and west areas.

At the end of the carriage and horse farm is the gate of the mansion, which has been widened from the original small gate to a three-bay mahogany gate.The main entrance in the middle is wide enough to allow cars to enter directly, and four large copper characters "Superior General's Mansion" are inlaid on the forehead.

The two side doors on the left and right are slightly narrower for ordinary officials to enter and exit.Entering the gate, you will face a huge bluestone screen wall with a statue of Chiyou engraved on it.

At the gate of the general's mansion, there were two mighty and heroic soldiers with spears standing, making the whole mansion full of majesty and solemnity.

Although it was hurriedly repaired in three days and three nights, it is rough and simple, but its majesty has shocked the generals of Liu Jijun.

Go to the general's mansion!

The generals in the army who remained in the three counties of Liaodong were all cronies who followed Liu Ji in the southern and northern wars.He is extremely jealous of the words "General's Mansion".

A man is born in this world, who doesn't want to be promoted and get rich.For this group of warriors, the general is the ultimate goal.

Whether it is Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai and the generals, they all desire it.Especially after hearing that Liu Ji wanted to pay homage to the general, I was looking forward to it in my heart.

Liu Ji, Han Xin, Cao Shen, Xiao He and the others were not aware of these rumors pervading the generals in the army.In other words, during these three days, they were too busy to know.

For the past three days, Cao participated in Xiao He's all-out preparations for opening the mansion.Cao Shen not only had to select the subordinate officials and scribes for each department.

It is also necessary to sort out all the materials in the Liaodong army, gather them all, and transport them all to the big study of the general's mansion.

At the same time, in addition to selecting [-] soldiers as the general's personal guards, they must also fully supervise the repair and renovation of the general's mansion.

I don't have time to pay attention at all, even if I know it, I don't care.

……

On this day, the sky was clear, and the ceremony of worshiping the generals of the three counties and three armies in Liaodong began.

At daybreak, Cao Shen personally led 200 soldiers with spears to the general's mansion.Except for the guards in the mansion, the remaining more than [-] soldiers all lined up in two rows on the square outside the general's mansion, forming a long corridor in the middle.

The sun had just lit up the sky, and all the civil and military officials from the three counties in Liaodong came to the large square outside the general's mansion and lined up in two rows in order.

For a while, the ministers looked around and felt uncomfortable.They knew in their hearts that after the three armies worshiped the general today, another giant rose above the court.

Moreover, he is also a powerful figure who holds great power and controls the army of the three counties in Liaodong.Their eyes flickered, falling on Zhou Bo, Fan Kui and others from time to time.

……

"The king is here!" Cao Shen shouted, and the officials on the square couldn't help being stunned.

At this moment, a bronze chariot slowly approached, under the six-foot hood sat Liu Ji and Han Xin in military uniform.

Monarchs and ministers ride together in the same cart, which is the highest courtesy in ancient times. When King Wen of Zhou pulled a chariot for Jiang Shang for 800 steps, it was only then that the Zhou Dynasty lasted for [-] years.

Qin Xiaogong and Wei Yang shared the same car. In 20 years, Qin rose and became a country of tigers and wolves.

However, it has been more than a hundred years since Shang Yang's reform, but no monarch has ever taken the same car with his ministers on formal ceremonial occasions.

At the time when the three counties in Liaodong were confused, when the construction of the General's Mansion was completed, everyone knew the connotation of this courteous announcement.

Because of this, for a while, the audience was silent and forgot to salute.Xiao He, who already knew it well, took the lead and shouted: "See Your Majesty—"

With this loud shout, the rest of the ministers came to their senses, and then they all bowed and saluted unevenly: "Your Majesty, please see the king—"

The ministers had complicated thoughts in their hearts, and this kind of courtesy already explained everything.The construction of the General's Mansion is indeed for the three armies to pay homage to the general.

But this general is not any of them.It was Han Xin, the later Lieutenant of Zhili, who was not well-known.Suddenly, the atmosphere on the square changed drastically.

Liu Ji didn't seem to notice all this, he jumped out of the car first to adjust his clothes, and then bowed his hands solemnly: "Sir, please——." Stretched out his hands, he helped Han Xin who was about to get off the car and stepped on the ground.

This scene shocked all civil and military officials.Liu Ji, the king of Liaodong, was blatantly gathering momentum for Han Xin, and he also showed his attitude.

……

For a moment, all civil and military officials were so shocked that they couldn't help themselves. Liu Jia, who was in charge of ceremonies, suddenly shouted loudly: "Let's go for the ceremony of obeisance to the general—the king and the general board the altar of the general!"
