Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 225
Xianyang, the famous capital of the Great Qin Dynasty, really has no city walls. Scholars in the 21st century have clearly confirmed this through archaeological excavations.

There are probably three reasons why Xianyang has no city walls. First, Xianyang’s geographical environment is too good. The four fortresses in Guanzhong, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, effectively protected Xianyang’s safety. Using offense instead of defense, these two points have led to the fact that no army has ever been able to threaten the safety of Xianyang, and Xianyang has no need to overhaul the city wall.

The third reason is that Xianyang in a broad sense is too big. It reaches Chunhua in the north, Huxian in the south, Baoji in the west, and the Yellow River in the east. It is said to be [-] miles from east to west and [-] miles from north to south. Affiliated, the amount of work to build the city wall and fortifications is no less than that of the Great Wall. Naturally, the kings of Qin and Qin Shihuang would not have nothing to do when they are full, and spend so much effort to build the city wall of Xianyang, which is useless.

The absence of city walls in Xianyang did not at all affect the smooth holding of the enthronement ceremony of the son of the third son of Qin. Although the five-day fasting time has not yet arrived, Daqin cannot be left alone for a day, and the unreasonable Xiang Kang has brought his accomplices and brutal When the army reached Lantian, the Qin court and the people in Guanzhong needed a wise and mighty King of Qin to stand up and stabilize people's hearts. He led the army and people of the Qin Dynasty to resist the Chu thief Xiang Kang and defend their homeland. Ying still accepted the repeated invitations from the officials of the Qin court, and decided to hold the enthronement ceremony on the next day, and formally assume the post of King Qin, so as to stabilize people's hearts and inspire the morale of the soldiers and civilians.

Even though it was forced to be held in advance and many steps were simplified, Ziying's enthronement ceremony was not less solemn and grand. At the dawn of genius, Ziying began to wear the complicated and complicated Qin King's costumes under the service of a large group of court ladies and eunuchs. There are several sets of clothes inside and out, such as Zhongdan, Daqiu, Xuanyi, Yushang and Wangmian. It took more than half an hour just to dress up, and then went to the ancestral temple to worship the ancestors, which took a long time Just finished the cutscene, and then had to rush to the altar that was rushed to build last night to hold a more complicated and complicated ceremony of enthroning on the altar.

According to ancient rituals, when Ziying ascended the altar and was conferred, national treasures should be displayed on the left and right sides of the altar. Fortunately, this is also the strongest point of the Qin court at present. The accumulation of the Great Qin for hundreds of years, as well as the treasuries of the six countries looted from outside the pass, even if it is only If you take out one or two out of a hundred of them, it is already dazzling and dizzying. Even though Ziyinggui is the nephew of Qin Shihuang, many rare and rare treasures were never seen or heard of by him before.

It is a pity that Ziying is not interested in these rare treasures. When waiting for the auspicious time to ascend the altar, Ziying is in Xianyang, but his heart is in Lantian, seventy miles away, and he is always thinking about Xianyang, the last main force of the Qin army in the Guanzhong area. The Lieutenant Army, hating himself for being unable to grow wings, flew to Lantian and told Xi Teng and every soldier of the Lieutenant Army in Xianyang that he had successfully beheaded the national traitor Zhao Gao and uprooted Zhao Gao’s party, which was a disaster for the country and the people. , so that the Daqin soldiers of the Xianyang Lieutenant Army can fight with peace of mind, kill the Xiangkang bandit army who is alone and deep, keep the Guanzhong Plain, and buy time for himself to reorganize the government and save Daqin.

While he was preoccupied, Ziying suddenly saw out of the corner of his eye that an official of the Qin court cautiously walked up to Han Tan, who was acting as Lang Zhongling, and whispered a few words into his confidant Han Tan's ear. He was about to show joy, but after taking a look at Ziying, Han Tan probably worried about disturbing Ziying's enthronement ceremony, but he didn't come to report immediately.

Ziying is very familiar with the official of the Qin court who whispered to Han Tan. That person is called Chen Zongzheng. He was originally an admonishing doctor of the Qin court. Whether the anti-Qin army colluded secretly, because Li You died fighting for the Great Qin, the upright Chen Zongzheng risked offending Zhao Gao, and insisted on truthfully reporting Li You's loyalty to the Great Qin court to Hu Hai, leaving Ziying I was deeply impressed, so after beheading Zhao Gao's son-in-law Yan Le yesterday, Ziying personally appointed Chen Zong to act as the county magistrate of Xianyang, and asked Chen Zongzheng to replace Yan Le in charge of Xianyang County soldiers, to reward his loyalty and integrity, and also said that he would Reuse the determination of a loyal minister like Chen Zongzheng.

It is very clear that if a loyal minister like Chen Zongzheng is not an important matter, he will never come to report in person when he is about to be enshrined in the altar, so Ziying took the initiative to beckon to Han Tan. In front of him, he asked in a low voice, "What orders does your majesty have?"

"What did Chen Zongzheng tell you just now?" Ziying asked back.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, just now the Xianyang County soldiers under Dr. Chen captured Zhao Gao's nephew Zhao Gao's traitor Zhao Juan." Han Tan replied in a low voice: "After Chen Zongzheng's personal interrogation, I learned that Zhao Juan left Xianyang secretly before. The traitor Zhao Gao went to Lantian to negotiate the terms of surrender with the traitor Xiang Kang, but because he didn't know that the traitor Zhao Gao had been awarded the leadership, he returned to Xianyang to give orders to the traitor Zhao Gao, and was caught by Xianyang county soldiers."

"Then what's the result of the negotiation between Zhao Gao's rebel nephew and Xiang Kang's rebel army?" Ziying asked quickly.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, they didn't come to any conclusion." Han Tan smiled and said in a low voice, "Xiang Kang's rebel found out that Zhao Gao's rebel killed the second emperor, not only terminated the negotiation, but also scolded Zhao Gao in person The thief is a king-killing and rebellious minister, unwilling to accept any surrender conditions proposed by the old thief Zhao Gao, and even drove Zhao Juan out of the bandit camp."

"Okay." Ziying also smiled, and said in a low voice, "As long as the two traitors, Zhao Gao and Xiang Kang, don't make any shameless deals, I can rest assured now."

At this time, the auspicious time was approaching, and Qin Tingfeng, who presided over the enthronement ceremony, often came to invite Ziying to the altar. Ziying didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly stood up with Han Tan's support, and whispered: "Remember , but any report about Xiang Kang's bandit army, no matter when or where, it must be reported to the widow immediately without any delay."

Han Tan hurriedly agreed in a low voice, and then Ziying climbed onto the high altar of the loess with confidence, and under the watchful eyes of all the officials of the Qin court and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians of the Great Qin Dynasty, he accepted the symbolic relics such as the Yuxi King Banner, and presented them at an auspicious time. Pray to heaven and earth, offer sacrifices to three animals, worship the mountains and rivers in all directions, all kinds of complicated procedures are countless, and it took a long time to officially ascend the throne and accept the worship of the officials-it's a pity, because the relationship between Daqin and the six countries outside the pass is too bad, and Due to the rush of time, of course none of the envoys from other countries saluted Ziying.

Then there was a cutscene of Wenwu and Wuwu. After finally finishing 96 dances, it was almost afternoon Shenshi, and the hungry Ziying and the officials of the Qin court were able to sit on the floor and enjoy the feast of the new king's enthronement. .Even so, Ziying, who had officially succeeded King Qin, still had to give a speech before the banquet began.

"My dear friends, thanks to the blessings of our ancestors, you fell in love with Daqin Wanmin, and I officially become the king today."

Ziying spoke very directly, and got to the point with a polite sentence, saying: "It's a pity that the Great Qin was unlucky. First, Zhao Gao rebelled against the thieves and rebelled. The rebels were even more daring, and killed the emperor, which almost put our Daqin court and Jiangshan Sheji into a desperate situation. Now, with the help of ancestor Hongfu and the help of the officials, Zhao Gao was given the head of the rebels, and the treacherous party in the court was destroyed, but the six countries outside the pass The tail is too big to lose, and it is eyeing our Great Qin. The Chu thief Xiang Kang even led the bandit army directly into the Guanzhong. It is only more than [-] miles away from Xianyang, directly threatening the foundation of our Great Qin. In this precarious plan, I hope that all the lovers will work together , with the same mind as the widow, lead the army and civilians of the Great Qin to resist the bandit army, regain the lost land, and restore our great Qin country and society."

"The ministers and others would like to follow the instructions of the king."

There is no shortage of people like Mr. Uncle and Sun. After all the officials of the Qin court agreed neatly, some officials immediately rushed to say: "Please rest assured, my king, my Xianyang Lieutenant Army of Daqin is brave and invincible. We should take one as a mistake. Lieutenant Xi Lao The general is old on the battlefield, and he uses his troops like a god. I believe that within a few days, the old general Xi will be able to win the red flag again and send the good news of defeating Xiangkang's bandit army just like the water battle back then."

"What Ren Nei Shi said is very true. Xiang Kang's rebel clown jumped into the beam, but he took advantage of the opportunity of Zhao Gao's rebellion to break into Guanzhong by chance. Now Zhao Gao's treacherous party has been destroyed, and the British lord has succeeded to the throne. Xiang Kang's rebels have been defeated. It must be easy for the army, and then wipe out the bandits outside the pass, and it must be just around the corner."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Xiang Kang's bandit army is nothing more than a mob. With Old General Xi leading the Xianyang Lieutenant's Army to sit in Lantian, even if Xiang Kang's bandit army is ten times stronger, it will never go northward. Your majesty just needs to wait in peace. A few days There must be good news from within.”

There is no one who doesn't like to hear good things, even if they are as modest and prudent as Ziying, although it is clear that the officials are just flattering them casually and picking what they like to hear, but in order to save the Great Qin court, Ziying hopes for these things better than anyone else Obedient words can make dreams come true, smiling and nodding casually, I can't help but imagine the wonderful scene of the Xianyang Lieutenant Army's triumphant return in my mind, and I look forward to it, "I hope this day will come sooner."

After finally waiting for the courtiers to finish their flattery, Ziying raised the bronze noble in front of him, and was about to offer wine to the courtiers according to the rules, but the corner of his eye suddenly moved again, seeing Qin Ting who was about to reuse Loyal minister Chen Zongzheng walked up to Han Tan quickly again, and whispered in Han Tan's ear for a while, but Han Tan's expression was obviously shocked, and then he tried hard to regain his composure, and lowered his head slightly, not daring to Then let others see your expression.

Knowing that his confidant, the eunuch Han Tan, was a stable person, and would not change his face even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, Ziying immediately understood that something earth-shattering must have happened, and anxiously, Ziying simply put down the Bronze Jue and let the eunuchs around him Calling Han Tan aside, he asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

Han Tan didn't dare to answer, his lips were still trembling slightly, Ziying was even more anxious, and hurriedly urged: "What happened? Tell me quickly."

In desperation, Han Tan could only stick to Ziying's ear, and whispered the news that Chen Zongzheng had just sent. As a result, although Han Tan's voice was soft, hearing Ziying's ears was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. She also turned her head to look at Han Tan in disbelief, and blurted out, "Is it true? Are you sure?"

Han Tan lowered his head again, and replied tremblingly in a low voice: "Report to Your Majesty, it has been confirmed."

Ziying was completely stunned, and there was no light in his eyes anymore, his eyes became empty, and all the officials of the Qin court could see that something was wrong, but no one dared to ask, and they all closed their mouths tightly , the banquet venue was completely silent, only the breeze was blowing, shaking the twelve strings of jade on Ziying's crown.

I don't know how long it took for Ziying to come back to his senses. His lips trembled a few times and he wanted to speak, but every time the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.After trying to take a deep breath, Ziying slowly stretched out his right hand, picked up the bronze wine in front of him with great difficulty, and said slowly and tremblingly: "My dear friends, this glass of wine, this glass of wine..."

All the officials of the Qin court realized that something was wrong, and they dared not speak even more. They held their breath and waited for Ziying to finish speaking, but Ziying's voice gradually became hoarse, and tears began to glisten in the corners of his eyes. It took a lot of effort before he continued: " This glass of wine, we respect, respect to the old General Xi Tengxi, and, also, the Great Qin soldiers who died with him..."

Before he finished speaking, two lines of hot tears welled up in Ziying's eyes, and all the officials of the Qin court opened their mouths wide open as if struck by lightning, they couldn't believe their ears!

Trembling, he poured the wine on the ground in front of the case, and the bronze jue in Ziying's hand suddenly fell to the ground. Ziying, who had just officially become king, could no longer control his emotions, so he fell on the wine case and burst into tears. Crying in despair...

"Old General Xi, why can't you persist for a few more days for the widow? The widow has already sent someone to contact General Zhang Han and General Wang Li outside the pass. As long as you persist for a few more days, they will be able to come back to save Guanzhong and give you Help! How come you have just been enthroned, and you have already been defeated and died as a martyr, how can you tell me to save the Great Qin Dynasty?!"

The news of the disastrous defeat of the Xianyang Lieutenant Army last night and the news of Xi Teng's martyrdom not only interrupted Ziying's enthronement ceremony completely, but also shocked the Qin court, civil and military forces, soldiers and civilians in Xianyang like a thunderbolt, even the most optimistic officials of the Great Qin Dynasty. I understand that Xianyang has no danger to defend now, no army to use, and its destruction is only in the blink of an eye, and there is no longer any power to return to heaven.So before it was completely dark, countless wealthy businessmen in the Xianyang area began to transfer their family properties, and countless Daqin officials began to secretly write letters of surrender, and sent people to Lantian overnight to ask Xiang Kang to surrender. People were panicked all day long.

That night, Ziying summoned more than a dozen Daqin officials whom he could trust in the Xianyang Palace, and discussed with them how to deal with the upcoming attack by the Young Marshal Army. All the officials of the Qin court were silent and silent. Ziying cried in despair and asked, "My dear friends, why don't you talk? Don't you talk? Could it be that you want the widow to be enthroned today and tomorrow Are you going to be the Great Qin's army of subjugation?"

Qin Tingwen and Wu who were present were crying with Ziying, but still no one spoke. It was when Ziying was about to faint from crying that Chen Zongzheng, who was favored by Ziying, burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty, Guanzhong is now closed." There are no soldiers to use, and Xianyang has no danger to defend. If you resist in a corner, you will die in vain. In the opinion of the ministers..., in the opinion of the subordinates, we might as well surrender."

"Chen Zongzheng! You are a rebellious minister who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" Another loyal minister of the Qin court, Wang Ming, cried and cursed: "As a minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, you are the king of the world, and you have been favored by the country for a long time. At this time, you dare to persuade the king to surrender to the bandit army, you are disloyal! Unfilial! You are an unfaithful and unfilial traitor!"

"Doctor Wang, if I hadn't been loyal to the king, I would never have persuaded him to surrender!" Chen Zongzheng cried wildly, crying almost hysterically: "How much the thieves from the six kingdoms of Shandong hate us! Don't you know? Xiang Kang's traitor is treacherous and hateful, but he still speaks of benevolence and righteousness. After Li You and Li Junzun died in Waihuang, you have seen how Xiang Kang's traitor treated his body kindly! Now the king only Hurry up and surrender to him, only then can you save your life and leave behind the blood of the Ying family of the Daqin royal family!"

Wang Ming had no words to refute. He could only prostrate on the hall and cry bitterly. Chen Zongzheng also cried to death, and also prostrated on the hall, bowing his head to Ziying, unable to say a word, let alone think of any other words. There is no way to resolve the crisis of extinction that Qin Ting is facing at the moment.

There were also loyal ministers who suggested with tears in their eyes that Ziying should go out of the pass immediately to join the troops of Zhang Han and Wang Li, to save his life first, and then lead the Qin army outside the pass to kill back to pass and take back Xianyang. Before he finished speaking, Ziying shook his head in great pain and said: "It's impossible, it's impossible, the Allied Forces of the Six Nations will never let our troops from outside the pass go back to the pass. If you leave the pass, you will never have a chance to come back again." .”

The courtier who offered advice had no choice but to continue to cry bitterly. The monarch and his ministers wept together, and they were so sad that they couldn't discuss any ideas until midnight.In the end, when there was nothing to do, Ziying, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, could only say helplessly: "Surrender, send an envoy to contact the traitor Xiang Kang, and ask him to accept our surrender. I beg him to be merciful and don't hurt the innocent people of Guanzhong Qin."

"Your Majesty!" More than a dozen courtiers knelt down together, and once again wept loudly with Ziying, until the tears ran out and their eyes wept with blood.

On the afternoon of February 25th in the third year of Qin II, Xiang Kang led the main force of the Young Marshal Army and had just set off to Zhidao in the southern suburbs of Xianyang. The desperate son of Qin III was already dressed in plain clothes, riding a funeral car drawn by a white horse, holding a Chuan Guo Yuxi, with his wife and children and all the officials of the Qin court, knelt and surrendered in front of the young commander.But at this moment, it was less than 24 hours and two days before Ziying officially ascended the throne, and the Qin Kingdom of the Ying family, which was founded in 560 and three years, officially declared its demise on this day.

Seeing that Ziying is as well-behaved as in history, Xiang Kang, who was eager to buy the hearts of the people in Guanzhong, of course accepted Ziying's surrender in person, and after helping Ziying with his own hands, Xiang Kang issued a military order in public, ordering that Ziying and his family be treated kindly , It is strictly forbidden for the young commander-in-chief to kill any minister of the Qin clan, and those who violated the order resisted on the spot, and ordered the officials of the Qin court and Guanzhong officials to continue to perform their duties, and instead obeyed their own orders and commands, in exchange for Qin. Ting Baiguan and Ziying expressed their gratitude for their excitement, and they were very grateful.

When the sun was about to set, the young commander arrived at the bank of the Weishui River. He looked at the continuous palaces and dense blocks on the north bank of the Weishui River, as well as the people in Guanzhong who burned incense and prostrated themselves on the road. One is not full of emotions, excited, and with dim tears in his eyes, Xiang Kang and countless soldiers of the young commander can't help but think of the scenes of the young commander's army's battles in the east and west in the past two years, and the faces of the comrades who died in battle. , Tears and weepers can be seen everywhere in the ranks of the Young Marshals.

Xiang Kang's nose was also a little acidic, and when he was struggling to hold back his tears, Zhou Zeng and Chen Ping suddenly came to Xiang Kang's side, and Chen Ping said, "General You, although I know you are not that kind of person, But I still have to remind you that the gorgeous palaces in Xianyang, the countless beauties and beauties in the Qin Palace, and the mountains of rare treasures are all a major cause of the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty. Don’t repeat the mistakes of Tyranny.”

"Don't worry, sir, I can hold it." Xiang Kang replied with a sob: "Immediately send me an order to the whole army. After crossing the river, immediately check and seal all the palace warehouses and property in Xianyang. Anyone who takes something indiscriminately will be executed immediately. No matter who it is , Anyone who dares to stay in the Qin Palace, whoever rapes the son-in-law will be executed immediately."

Chen Ping nodded, and immediately sent someone to deliver Xiang Kang's order, while Zhou Zeng hurriedly said, "General Right, we can't tamper with the jewels and gold, but there are some things, General Right, please allow the subordinate officials to send someone to take them away."

"What?" Xiang Kang asked.

"All legal documents and catalogs of the Prime Minister's Mansion of Qin State and Yushi Temple."

Zhou Zeng's answer made Xiang Kang smile gently, and said in a more gentle voice: "Uncle Ya, you are really my Xiao He."

"Xiao He?" Zhou Zeng, who had met Xiao He in Liu Lao's three armies, was puzzled and said, "You General, why do you suddenly think of Xiao He, a civil servant under Peigong's command?"

For a moment of gaffe, Xiang Kang naturally couldn't answer Zhou Zeng's question, so he could only change the subject, and asked Zhou Zeng and Chen Ping with a smile: "Uncle Ya, Mr. Chen Ping, tell me, if Pei Gong and my elder brother know, we will discuss it today." Having captured Xianyang and forced the Qin Dynasty to surrender, what kind of reaction will it be?"

"What kind of reaction they will have, I can't imagine for a while." Chen Ping smiled and said: "Only one thing is certain, they will never be happy and happy, and they will definitely be jealous and jealous."
