Qin Official

"I received Han Xin's gift and kindness."

Heifu marched north from Hanoi, passed through the newly pacified Handan County, and then arrived at Hengshan County. On the winter solstice, he passed through Hengshan and received news that Han Xin had captured Jicheng...

He breathed a long sigh of relief, not for Jicheng, but for Han Xin.

This kid is quite nostalgic.

If Han Xin refuses to regain Guangyang County, he will take away his tiger talisman unceremoniously.

However, looking at the current situation, Han Xin was determined to carry out his orders. In this case, let Han Xin keep the gold-plated tiger charm for a few more years.

"In this way, all the former capitals of the six kingdoms have returned to Duke Xia!"

The congratulations of the ministers could be heard endlessly, but Heifu only smiled and let the three armies rest for a day while he set off to climb Mount Heng.

Hengshan Mountain is actually not a mountain, but a mountain system. It starts from the Taihang Mountains, spans North China, and stretches for 500 miles from east to west. Because Hengshan is located in the north, and the yin in the north ends and the yin begins, its path is eternal and it is an eternal place, so it is called Hengshan.

What is currently recognized as the main peak of Mount Heng is not the future "Beiyue Mount Heng", but the place north of Quyang County (Quyang, Baoding), later called "Damao Mountain".

When Heifu stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up, he could see the main peak of Hengshan Mountain, a gray-blue giant carrying old snow and steep rock peaks. The first snowfall came before the winter solstice. Although the lower parts had fallen and melted, the main peak had already fallen. Snowy.

After passing the raging narrow rapids in the upper reaches of the Qihe River and bypassing the increasingly steep mountains, the road leads to the north and winds through a dense forest full of fir trees and thorns. Apes roar on both sides. Snow leopards and snow leopards can be seen from time to time on the mountain road. Tiger footprints.

Going up, they gradually became unable to ride horses, and gradually the road closed again. They could only ride the famous local white mules in the cold wind, and finally relied on walking to complete the last section, and finally arrived at a huge In front of the stone wall.

It has a smooth texture and has withstood countless years of wind and rain. It is still engraved with lines of seal characters and painted red with cinnabar.

Heft went up the mountain just to see it.

Wearing a thick fur and a dog-skin hat, he breathed white air and approached the huge rock, on which were carved the seals of civilization, the ambitions of China's first emperor...

Heifu touched the stone wall with his hand. His tentacles were cold and he only whispered:

"In the 29th year of Wei Dynasty, the emperor made the beginning..."

In the 29th year of Qin Shihuang, because of Hei Fu's flapping wings, the First Emperor canceled the planned eastward patrol of the seaside and instead patrolled north to prepare for the upcoming war against the Xiongnu. Then he went to Hengshan Mountain and climbed up to have a distant view. After the unification, the first stone carvings were made.

This stone carving not only left behind a political outline such as "the instruments are measured, the writings are written in the same way", which testify that the documents, texts and carriages are in the same track.

There are also things that Emperor Qin Shihuang may have wanted to do but failed to achieve from the beginning to the end, such as "the head of Guizhou will be at peace without the need for military revolution".

The most important thing is that Qin Shihuang asked the "Ode to Qin", which changed Gao Jianli's life, to be carved on stone as the theme of the entire article...

"Within Liuhe, the emperor's land stretches across the quicksand in the west, ends in the north in the south. There is the East China Sea in the east, and Daxia in the north. Wherever people go, there are all those who are subject to them. Their achievements are as great as those of the five emperors, and they are as good as cattle and horses."

Heifu silently recited this familiar melody. No one knew better than him. Qin Shi Huang's "militancy" in the later period could all be traced back to that day when the bull was blown on the stone carvings of Mount Heng...

When others brag, such as what they want to accomplish in June or what they want to accomplish next week, they just pretend to be confused after bragging.

But Qin Shi Huang’s boast must be realized at all costs!

Heifu shook his head: "Sometimes, being too ambitious and beyond the scope of the times is not a good thing."

His eyes passed over line by line. The most interesting thing was that at the end of the stone carving, there was a list of those who accompanied him that day. It was really long and wide...

"Chehou Wuchenghou Wang Jian, Chehou Tongwuhou Wang Ben, Lunhou Jianchenghou Zhao Hai, Lunhou Changwuhou Gongzi Cheng, Lunhou Wuxinhou Feng Wuze, Prime Minister Wei Lin, Prime Minister Wang Wan, Qing Li Si, Qing Wang Wu, the five great masters Ying and the fifth doctor Yang Zicong discussed with each other at Mount Heng..."

After reading the names one by one, Heifu smiled, because basically all the people on this list have died.

Only the last three survived. Wang Wu reluctantly followed him and became the censor. Yang Huan had already done the white gloves. Ziying was the worst. He was sent to Xicui by the black husband and could never return to Xianyang. .

On the right side of the stone carving, there is a flattened stone wall, but there is no word on it, but it can also be engraved with an article to show off to the gods and landlords.

When you reach a certain position, there will be thousands of people thinking about what you are thinking all day long.

Seeing Hei Fu looking at the blank space and pondering for a long time, everyone behind him looked at each other and nodded to each other.

So when Hei Fu turned around, the people who had followed him up the mountain today, such as Chen Hui, Shusun Tong, Fu Sheng and others, fell to the ground and asked Hei Fu to carve the stone.

Represented by Shusun Tong, he said: "The ancient emperors' territory was no more than a thousand miles away, and the princes each maintained their own territory, whether in court or not. They invaded and rioted with each other, and continued to cut down. They still carved gold and stone to keep track of themselves."

"The First Emperor of Qin merged into one sea and formed prefectures and counties. The ministers chanted the emperor's merits and deeds and engraved them on gold and stone as scriptures. However, he died, the rebellious son Hu Hai usurped the throne, the treacherous Zhao Gao took over power, Guandong was rebellious, and the laws were ineffective. Kyushu It’s rough and animals are in charge.”

"It is really thanks to Duke Xia that he started from Yunmeng with a humble body, made great achievements in four crossings, and then settled in Jiangling, and reached Jingzhou. The Northern Expedition and the Eastern Campaign lasted for three years, annihilating the remnants of Wei, Zhao, and Chu, and surrendering the old officials of Han and Qi. , Zhu Xiang was in Daze Township, and the land of Yan was settled, so that he could rule the world again. More than seventy battles, big and small, were all succeeded by Duke Xia's strategy, so all battles were invincible and all attacks were invincible. Now the world is at peace, the Central Plains is restored, and Xia The Duke's literary skills and martial arts are even better than those of Qin Shihuang, and Xia Duke's benevolence is also far superior to Qin Shihuang's. Therefore, I should engrave gold and stone seals on the side to show that Xia Duke's success and virtue... I beg you to die without knowing it!"

The ministers opened and closed their mouths and their voices buzzed, but Heifu had one sentence echoing in his mind:

"Some people carve their names into stones in order to be immortal..."

Heifu shook his head and looked at the entire stone carving. Back then, Qin Shihuang completed the historical mission of unifying the world, and when he stood here, he must have been highly praised by the officials of that day.

Then my head gets hot and I feel like my forehead is dripping all over the southeast, northwest and northwest...

"Your Majesty, whenever I want to lose myself and feel that I am the son of destiny, I just think of your lesson."

But immediately, a narrow smile appeared on Hei Fu's face: "But since we are all here, how can we spoil everyone's fun?"

So Heifu turned around, faced everyone's eager eyes, and said with a smile:

"Can!"

Shusun Tong and others were already gearing up to make a good performance here and write a famous article that would last forever. However, unexpectedly, Xia Gong, who usually liked to let them help draft articles, wanted to do it today. Do it yourself!

"Bring me a pen!"

Hei Fu stretched out his hand and presented a fine langhao pen with a document, as well as ink that had just been polished with warm water.

"Paper!"

Two sergeants carried the desk, covered it with fine yellowed birch bark paper, and pressed it with a gilt paperweight.

The pomp was huge, and the people accompanying him formed a circle around the outside, using their bodies to shield Mr. Xia from the cold wind at high altitudes.

At the same time, he stretched his neck and stood on tiptoes, wanting to see how Mr. Xia would write down his achievements?

But unexpectedly, after thinking for a long time, Heifu smiled and wrote six official characters with a wave of his brush!

Then he asked the scribe to put away his pen and said to the blank rock wall next to the stone carvings of Emperor Qin Shihuang:

"Just engrave these six characters on it!"

After saying that, he walked away!

Shusun Tong and others were speechless. They could only rush over and take a look. They were immediately stunned!

But I saw that Xia Gong’s six characters were actually:

"Black husband is here for a visit!"

…

"These six words, Mr. Xia, are so mysterious!"

"That's right, the artistic conception is profound! Hidden ingenuity!"

"Small but complete!"

"Do you dare to say that Xia Gong's character is sparrow?"

"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, it's a falcon, it's a falcon!"

"The word 'arrive' is used very well!"

"The word 'this' is also wonderful."

"One, under the whole world, wanderers... wanderers, this is Zhuangzi's leisurely wandering!"

Not to mention the six-character mantra that everyone boasted about Hei Fu, let’s just say that Hei Fu went down to Mount Heng and when he returned to the military camp, he saw two people in the camp who had come from Yan to pay their respects...

These two people are both generals, and their names have been admired by Hei Fu for a long time. Moreover, they have a big feud with each other. They are sitting opposite each other, staring at each other.

"Who arranged for them to come together to meet him? They are so shabby."

Heifu muttered to himself, and then remembered.

"It seems to be me..."

So he walked into the tent, and the two of them stood up to pay their respects.

The one who got up first on the right was slightly younger than Heifu, and his skin was also slightly darker. He was clearly Chen Sheng, who had been a prostitute in Guizhou...

King Chen, who was the most righteous person in Daze Township in history, is now uneasy. Chen Sheng only hopes that it is not too late for him to join Heifu. It is impossible to be a "prince, general, minister", and the prince has no chance. It all depends on whether he can become a Guannei Marquis. , the minimum standard for a small town of 500 households is fine...

Therefore, as soon as Chen Sheng met Mr. Hei, he bowed and said:

"Chen Sheng invites you to serve as the vanguard and use the Hengshan soldiers as Duke Xia to enter Feihukou and attack Daidi!"

Heifu put away his emotions and thoughts, smiled and nodded slightly, and immediately looked at the other person:

"Li Zuoche, Lord Guangwu of Zhao State, why are you here?"

"The motherland has been destroyed, and now there is no Lord Guangwu. I only think that I am still a man wearing the right collar and imprisoned Li Zuoche."

Different from Chen Sheng's eagerness, the thin general Li Zuoche handed over to Heifu. He stood up slowly and spoke slowly:

"I came here to request an audience because I want to dissuade Duke Xia from doing something."

"What's the matter?"

Li Zuoche said: "The first snow has fallen and the weather is freezing. It is not suitable to use troops in Daibei in winter. I also hope that Duke Xia will rest his troops and calm the people. When the snow melts in spring, Li Zuoche is willing to be a guide to help Duke Xia destroy Dai and break Hu!" "
