Qin Official

After the captains of the school took orders and went to their respective positions, Li You called Heifu alone and asked him if he was nervous about seeing the king's chariot.

"My subordinates were so excited that they couldn't sleep last night!"

Although Heifu actually slept soundly last night, he still acted like he was excited to meet a big shot.

His answer was very much what Li You wanted, so he laughed and said: "Of course, even though I often see the king's chariot, I still feel a sense of shock and expectation every time, let alone you? Then I'll ask you again, Do you know what is indispensable for the king's chariot?"

"I don't dare to speculate and think about the emperor's driving." Hei Fu pretended to be frightened again and refused to guess, so Li You directly announced the correct answer.

"Although the king's chariot is spacious, there are no concubines or palace attendants to serve him, and there are no treasures and beautiful utensils to play with. There will always be some, one is the map of the world's mountains and rivers, and the other is the memorials of each county..."

Li You explained: "Everywhere the king goes, even if it is a small town, he will always check the map, ask about the city, household registration, mountains and rivers, and he must have the land under his rule in his heart. In addition, even if he is traveling, , and have to review hundreds of catties of bamboo slips every day! We will never let government affairs fall by the wayside!"

"A workaholic who doesn't have fun? Then why build so many palaces in Guanzhong? Is it really just for collection..."

Hei Fu thought so in his heart, but said with admiration: "Your Majesty is diligent in his work, so Qin can wipe out the princes!"

After chatting for a while, Li You raised his head and looked at the time. It was three o'clock in the morning. Then he waved his hand and said: "Let's go to the section where the Anlu soldiers are. When the king's car passes by, be sure to let everyone kneel down and worship. Then he will follow me into the city. Although the king I may not still remember you, but when I see me, I may think of Zicai’s words again, or I may call you to meet me!”

…

Huaiyang had been lost and recovered by the Qin army for several months. It served as a military ration turnover center, so the suburbs of the city were like a large military camp, with most of the 300,000 civilians staying here. Knowing that King Qin was coming, they were immediately mobilized again and repaired the road from the city gate to Wanqiu. Heifu and his tens of thousands of Qin soldiers lined up along the city gate to the west for ten miles!

The soldiers stood on the roadside, behind them were groups of 150,000 Qin citizens who had been militarized and were still standing in an orderly manner. Behind them were the local residents with ulterior attitudes. They were also forcibly pulled out. Watch the arrival of King Qin and the formal surrender ceremony of King Chu...

While Heifu vigilantly maintained the vigilance of the Baibu area he was responsible for, he also had to answer the endless questions from his subordinates, especially Ji Ying's...

"Captain, what does the king look like?"

"I've never seen it. If you ask me, who should I ask?" Heifu replied angrily.

"Isn't Captain Li the king's son-in-law? He must have met the king, why didn't he describe it to the commander?" Ji Ying and others did not give up.

"Li Duwei said that the king is wise and wise, like a god." Li You really couldn't explain why. He respected his father-in-law, King of Qin, like a god.

"God man..."

Ji Ying, Dongmen Bao and others felt that this metaphor made sense.

"That's the king, of course he's a man of God."

"I heard that the king is immortal." Gong Ao, who was standing next to them, also came over.

"I heard that the king is three feet tall." The male holding the flag compared himself: "Twice as tall as me!"

"It's more than three feet. I heard that the king has stars above his head. Wherever he goes, there will be good weather!" Dongmen Bao said even more exaggeratedly, his eyes full of admiration.

It can be seen that Heifu's men are really excited. Look at that, they may not have slept well last night. Think about it, the coming of future national leaders to the grassroots will also make the people who have the opportunity to shake hands with them happy. , let alone the deified king in ancient times.

Everyone can be disrespectful to their own county magistrates and even county guards, but they blindly respect the unattainable King of Qin from the bottom of their hearts.

They admire not only his power, but also all the things he has done in the past twenty years. Some princes may not let the people at the bottom know about themselves even if they have been in power for many years, but King Qin is different. Since he took charge, he has fought war after war. All the people of Qin were mobilized to participate. Under the propaganda of Qin officials, everyone knew that there was such a king:

With a wave of his hand, the Six Kingdoms can be wiped out. With a move of his mouth, 600,000 people will rush north and south...

"You'll know in a minute."

Heifu smiled helplessly, pointed to the west and said: "Go and stand in your respective guarded areas, I can already hear the sound of drums!"

…

Hei Fu heard it right. There was indeed the sound of sheng, Xiao and drum music in the distance, and he could hear it with the wind.

The first thing that entered their field of vision was the leading troops of King Qin's chariots. Six majestic "axe chariots" passed by first, followed by fifty honor guards holding halberds to clear the way and fifty flags fluttering. There were red and black halberds on them. The covers and flags made of silk are colorful and decorated with various animals, each with different meanings, fluttering in the wind.

Then there is the tall propaganda truck, which has two floors! As soon as the drum was built on the upper tree, feathers were flying, and two drummers held hammers to beat the drums. Four musicians sat on the lower level, facing each other, playing the shengxiao.

Six drums, thirty-six people, the drummers beat the drums like a wild dance, and the trumpeters played with all their strength, their cheeks swelled into big balls, and their lungs seemed about to burst at any time. They worked so hard to use the loudest voice. Tell everyone:

The king has arrived!

After the honor guard, the heroic and orderly "Langzhong Lingjun" followed one after another.

The Langzhong Lingjun was an elite force that guarded the king's left and right sides. Its members were all officials from Guanzhong and had good families. Li Xin, Li You, Meng Tian and others were among them.

First, there were walking warriors uniformly dressed in black armor and wearing heavy daggers. They were almost eight feet tall. Five hundred people walked by in the order of "five soldiers", with shields on their backs and daggers on their waists. The spears were raised high, the feathers of the bows and crossbows were neat, and the branches of the bronze halberds looked like a passing forest.

After the infantry, there are the knights. These people are called "martial knights". According to Li You, they are all under forty years old, more than seven feet five inches tall, strong in body, with superb riding skills and superb archery skills. Ability to "cross ravines, climb hills, risk obstacles, conquer large swamps, overtake powerful enemies, and confuse the masses."

I saw two hundred cavalry divided into two groups, the front and rear. The former wore a mou with red cherry blossoms flying, copper leather armor, and a crimson war robe. A nine-foot-long spear pointed forward diagonally.

The latter wears a ferocious copper mask, a pure white bird feather crown on his head, and a long sword on his waist. Even his horse is equipped with leather horse armor. The man and horse are fully armed, becoming more mysterious under the cover of dust.

Their horses were tall and their people were well-equipped. They looked like dragons and horses as they passed by. Heifu's subordinates couldn't help but sigh when they saw them. They just felt that they were worthy of being the elites defending King Qin. It looked like they could really defeat one against five, especially The Yu stable official who was the scout was so envious that his eyes almost popped out.

At this point, King Qin's carriages had already passed several hundred meters. Hei Fu was lamenting that a king deserves to show off his majesty when traveling, "he must ride on thousands of horses", and he was also lamenting that King Qin really came out after being called upon for thousands of times!

Just when he was about to lament when the end would come, several more drum trucks passed by, and the officials above shouted loudly:

"The King's Dharma is coming, worship!"

…

"bye!"

Subconsciously, all the soldiers knelt down on one knee, and the Qin citizens behind them knelt down on both legs. Within ten miles, more than 100,000 people along the way fell down like wheat fields blown by the wind!

At this time, the king's chariot-protecting team also passed by. Hei Fu heard that King Qin was already using the emperor's method to drive. Although it was not as exaggerated as the eighty-one chariots after becoming emperor, there were still thirty-six chariots.

First came six light chariots with vermilion chariots, no scarves or coverings, built with spears and halberds, and guards with crossbows on them looking around vigilantly. There were also colorful flags on them.

After that, there are six leading chariots, with ministers and censors riding on them, serving as the king's guide. There are also weapons, spears, crossbows and fu (fu). The chariot has a soap-colored cover, a red interior, and the carriage is also painted in vermilion.

Finally, behind the lead car, Heifu finally saw the real driving force of King Qin...

It was a huge carriage pulled by six pure white horses. It didn't look very luxurious, but it was exquisite in every aspect. First of all, it was twice as big as an ordinary carriage. The wheels were all Zhu Ban Chongya, Wenhu Fushi, and Dragon The leader carries a yoke, a feather cover, and a large flag (qi), followed closely by five auxiliary vehicles.

On the left side of the yellow house, Hei Fu could clearly see that it was the King of Qin who was driving the chariot!

"coming?"

Heifu nodded.

"coming!"

Ji Ying, Dongmen Bao and others beside Hei Fu were still asking in low voices. After receiving a positive answer, they all held their breath and looked very uneasy. They wanted to stand up straight and take a look at King Qin's appearance, but they were a little afraid. In the end, they couldn't help their curiosity and tilted their heads to look at the car.

Today is not an ordinary trip, but a trip to reward the soldiers of the three armies. Therefore, the King of Qin did not ride in the "Golden Root Car" that was tightly fitted but relatively safe, but with an open top so that everyone could see his carriage...

But what Heifu and the others saw first was the man who was driving for the King of Qin. He was tall and majestic, wearing a sword and a crossbow, wearing a crown, and a short beard. He was powerful and steady. He was an official of the CRRC!

And behind the charioteer, sitting in the carriage, was of course the King of Qin himself!

But I saw him sitting upright in the car, wearing royal robes with twelve chapters of the sun, moon and stars on his body. His clothes were xun, and he was still holding the bamboo slip in his hand as Li You said.

King Qin wore a heavy crown on his head, which was seven inches wide and two inches long. The thin ridges covered his appearance, so Hei Fu could only see the long mustache under his chin flowing slightly in the wind, but King Qin's eyes were slightly closed, as if he was resting and recuperating...

When passing the Anlu soldiers at the front, King Qin finally opened his eyes.

Behind the beads is a pair of bright and sharp eyes!

Although it was just a slight glance and there was not much expression on his face, it was enough to scare the soldiers who met Wang's eyes half to death.

The daring Dongmen Leopard, Li Xian who often made shocking remarks, and Ji Ying who was full of flirtatious words just now, all suddenly lowered their heads, because they subconsciously felt that it was disrespectful to look at the king!

Hei Fu also moved his eyes away, and only then did he realize that some of his men even lay down on the ground, raising their heads to breathe in the dust raised by the king's passing. They regarded this as a privilege.

"king!"

I don’t know who took the lead, but the Qin soldiers in this area let out a low and thick chant.

"King! Your Majesty!"

From a hundred steps to a thousand steps, from a thousand steps to ten miles, along the way from Wanqiu to Huaiyang, tens of thousands of people seemed to be transmitting voices, and from west to east, they all began to shout the same words.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

First, the Qin soldiers were shouting, and then the Qin citizens on both sides were also shouting. Finally, even the local Chu people who had seen the majesty of the chariots and their faces were already ashen. They couldn't stand the atmosphere and pressure. They knelt down and followed the shouts. stand up.

Regarding Chinese dialects, there are Nanjun dialects, Zhongyuan dialects, and even Bashu and Yanzhao dialects. They are all mixed together, but the things they want to express are the same.

Only this man can make so many people and so many voices sound like one mouthful.

King Qin's eyes were closed again, without smiling or frowning, just stroking his beard gently without any fluctuation. He seemed to be enjoying it, and seemed to have long been accustomed to or even tired of the sound of the mountain calling...

Hei Fu also shouted a few times. When he looked up again, all he could see was the back of King Qin's chariot and the tall crown, which was still on his head.

Different from the reverence and crazy shouts of ordinary Qin soldiers and civilians, Hei Fu seemed to have seen a lot of things from King Qin just now.

The glory represented by the Dào on the left side of the Yellow House. King Qin is the supreme king and will soon be the unique emperor in this land. During the whole process, although he said nothing, he was able to make thousands of people cheer for him, go crazy for him, and die for him.

The power of the world is contained in the hand holding the bamboo slip. It is so majestic. It is no wonder that when Liu Bang saw this scene in the future, he would say with emotion, "A true man should be like this!"

But despite the glory, after getting closer, Hei Fu also saw a trace of vulnerability in King Qin: no matter how powerful he was, he was still a human being, a mortal. There were so many deifications piled on him that some Qin soldiers firmly believed that the King of Qin was immortal, but Hei Fu knew that Qin Shihuang was not immortal in the end.

Xiang Yu must have seen this too. He saw the aging emperor and his mortal body. He could defeat ten thousand enemies with just one leap and defeat him...

No wonder he would blurt out the phrase "He can take his place!"

However, compared to the thoughts of these two people, as a descendant, Heifu also knows more about the King of Qin and the First Emperor:

He will live a wonderful life and use his power to do many things that are unimaginable by previous generations and cannot be repeated by future generations, such as conquering Baiyue in the south and defeating the Huns in the north. Within Liuhe, the emperor’s land. Wherever people go, there is no one who is not loyal to him.

He would die very helpless. During his last trip, he fell down in pain from the carriage he was sitting in. His body was placed in a smelly fish and abalone shop. His will and testament were arbitrarily manipulated and modified, and his descendants were almost slaughtered. A few years later, the established empire fell apart.

In addition, Heifu also saw other things.

He saw that during the journey, King Qin's hand was not letting go of the scroll.

He felt how heavy a task it was to govern such a huge country with one person's energy. It's easy for Heifu to be a captain of thousands now, but it would be very difficult for him to be in charge of a county or an army of ten thousand.

He saw the height and weight of King Qin's crown.

Seven inches wide and two inches long?

"no no."

"His glory is a thousand feet high."

"Its weight is also huge!"

Liu Bang saw how high the glory was, but the chief of the small pavilion must not have known how much it weighed at the time.

Xiang Yu saw the possibility of snatching the crown, but he didn't know how to wear it.

So at this moment, what came to Heifu's mind was not the words of those two people, but his own thoughts.

After King Qin's Fajia gradually went away, Hei Fu didn't know whether he was sighing at the sight of King Qin in his eyes or lamenting history. He stood up and said to himself:

"If you want to wear a crown, you must first bear its weight!"
