Chapter 345: The Old Capital of Korea

After leaving Xianyang City, the first stop of Ying Zheng's eastern tour was Xinzheng, the old capital of South Korea. As the capital of a former vassal state, Xinzheng has its own atmosphere, although it is not as deep as Xianyang City, which is known as the backbone of the Six Kingdoms, and Shouchun, which is known as the backbone of the Six Kingdoms, Xinzheng does not look great from the outside of the city wall. But if you walk in, you'll find something different.

After the Qin State ruled the world, Xinzheng became a county under the Qin State, and it was also the county closest to the original Qin State territory.

However, there are no pedestrians on the streets of Xinzheng today, and some are just some people in a hurry, and these people will inadvertently show the uniforms of Qin military officials under their coats, it is obvious that these people are pretending to be the officers and soldiers stationed in Xinzheng.

Before dawn, Hu Yiping, the county guard of Xinzheng, got up from the warm bed of the concubine, and then gathered a team of soldiers and went out of the city to wait for His Majesty the Emperor's car ten miles outside Xinzheng City. Because as early as ten days ago, he had already received an order that His Majesty the Emperor would arrive in Xinzheng today, and that he would stay in Xinzheng for a few days. When Hu Yiping received the news from above, he hurriedly cleaned up the original Korean palace, and took out the treasures that originally belonged to the palace from his home, and then put them back in the distance of the palace as they were, for fear that His Majesty the Emperor would take off his head if he didn't like it.

"My lord, when will Your Majesty's car return?" asked Hu Yiping's most trusted master.

Hu Yiping raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead, raised his head and looked at the somewhat hot poisonous sun. He has been leading people to stand here for nearly two hours, and from the time the sun has not risen to the present when it is almost noon, he has not seen the shadow of His Majesty the Emperor. Not only him, but more than a dozen officials and 500 Xinzheng officers and soldiers who went out of the city to greet him were already sweating profusely, and there were already a few civilian officials who couldn't stand the sun, and they were already sitting on the ground and fanning the wind with their sleeves, hoping to cool down.

Hu Yiping raised his eyes and looked into the distance, but there was still no shadow on the road in the distance. "Alas, how do I know, the secret letter only said that His Majesty the Emperor returned today, whether the arrival time was noted, no matter what, this is His Majesty the Emperor's first tour, no matter how hot it is, we have to wait here, and we must not lose our courtesy. ”

The master couldn't stop nodding his head and said yes repeatedly.

"Da Da Da", there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, so that everyone who had been waiting here for a long time finally lifted their spirits and looked in the direction from which the sound of horses' hooves came.

A horse galloped along the road and stopped in front of Hu Yiping. The knight on the horse, dressed in armor, seemed to have no sense of such weather. He rode on his horse, looked at the people standing on the ground, and asked, "Which one is Hu Yiping Hu Junshou?"

Hu Yiping wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, stepped forward and clasped his fists at the knight on the horse and said, "The next pass is ...... dare to ask."

The knight on the horse also clenched his fists at Hu Yiping, and then replied: "The villain is under the command of General Meng Tian, the officer of the Mengjia Army Scout Battalion, and on the order of the general, he came to inform Lord Hu that His Majesty's Luan has arrived five miles away, please prepare to meet him." ”

After hearing this, Hu Yiping hurriedly cheered up and said to the Mengjia Military Academy officer on the horse: "Please reply to the general, the lower officials are all ready, and lead all the officials of Xinzheng to wait here for Your Majesty Luan." ”

The officer nodded, said nothing, and turned his horse and galloped away the way he had come.

"Your Majesty, ahead is Xinzheng, the former capital of South Korea. Meng Tian rode a horse to Yingzheng's Luan and spoke.

Because of the hot weather, Ying Zheng's Luan Jia was not as tightly surrounded as in Xianyang City, except for the four curtains on the left and right are still hanging, the curtains on both sides of Luan Jia's front and back have been hung from the inside, and at the same time, in Luan's driving, there are four palace maids each holding a feather fan in their hands, fanning Ying Zheng.

As soon as he came out of Hangu Pass, the weather became very hot, which made Yingzheng, as the emperor of a country, unable to solve it. At this time, Ying Zheng had already taken off his heavy robe, and was only wearing two thin undershirts, and it was still a little hot to sit in Luanjia like this.

"It's finally here, and the two days of rushing have made me hot. Ying Zheng muttered, and poured a sip of wine into his mouth, which was regarded as sending a trace of coolness to his body.

Meng Tian covered his glasses with his hand, looked at the sky, and then said to Ying Zheng: "Yes, Your Majesty, fortunately we filled enough water last night, otherwise we would have been on the road all morning today, not only the soldiers, but also the horses we rode would not be able to stand it." ”

Ying Zheng lifted the curtain and looked at Meng Tian curiously, he asked, "By the way, Meng Qing, why don't you say it's hot? This armor on your body is much thicker than my crown dress, aren't you hot?"

Meng Tian took a look at the armor on his body, and said to Ying Zheng helplessly: "Your Majesty doesn't know, in addition to the armor on his body, the minister only has a thin shirt inside, if it weren't for being by His Majesty's side, the minister would have taken off his essence and jumped into the water to take a bath." ”

"Hahaha...... I said, okay, give the order to go down and hurry up, and when I get to Xinzheng, let the accompanying soldiers have a good rest. With that, Ying Zheng lowered the curtain again and enjoyed the coolness of Luan's car with peace of mind.

Meng Tian rode to the front of the team and said loudly: "Your Majesty has an order, speed up, Xinzheng is not far ahead, and everyone is resting when they enter the city!"

Five miles of land soon arrived, Hu Yiping watched His Majesty the Emperor's Luan drive getting closer and closer, and hurriedly sorted out the outfits of himself and his subordinates, striving to give His Majesty the Emperor a good impression.

Ying Zheng's Luan drove to Hu Yiping's body and stopped, Hu Yiping hurriedly led everyone behind him to kneel down and bow: "Chen Xinzheng County Shou Hu Yiping led his subordinate officials to greet His Majesty the Emperor, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

Ying Zheng's face was not revealed, but a voice came from inside Luan's car: "Get up, I am very tired today, hurry up and enter the city." ”

"Obey. Hu Yiping got up from the ground, beat the dust on his body, and then rode on the horse tied to the side, and took the lead to lead Yingzheng's Luan to walk towards Xinzheng City.

Meng Tian still rode a horse and walked in front, Hu Yiping didn't dare to walk with him, and the horse under his crotch was half a body behind Meng Tian.

"Lord Hu, has the place where His Majesty the Emperor lived been arranged?"

Hu Yiping replied respectfully: "Back to the general's words, Your Majesty has already arranged the officials in the place where Xinzheng lives. Originally, most of the royal palaces in South Korea were demolished to build Abang Palace, but many palaces are still intact. Xia Guan has converted it into His Majesty's palace for His Majesty's use. There is also His Majesty's diet, and the lower officials also specially invited the best chefs in Xinzheng City, so please rest assured that the general. ”

Meng Tian nodded, this Hu Yiping is okay. "That's good, Lord Hu just needs to receive His Majesty the Emperor with confidence, as for these soldiers under General Ben, you don't have to worry about adults, General Ben will arrange their accommodation. ”

Meng Tian said that he didn't bother himself, but Hu Yiping didn't really bother. He knew that whether the Mengjia army was marching and fighting, or performing other military affairs of the Qin State, they would have their own way of life wherever they went, so he couldn't worry a lot, so he just found a private house in Xinzheng City for these soldiers to live in. As for Meng Tian and several other ministers who accompanied him, he also arranged the best accommodation in the city, so he asked several wealthy merchants in the city to move out of his courtyard and let Meng Tian and others live.

"The lower officials still know a little bit about the style of the Meng family's army, so the lower officials just cleared a few courtyards near His Majesty's palace, and I think it should be enough for these soldiers brought by the general to live. As for other aspects, the lower officials also made preparations in advance, and all the food and clothing were prepared, so I just asked the soldiers under the general to enjoy it. Hu Yiping said it simply, but in his heart he was already bleeding, and in order to buy these things, his private treasury was almost gone.

"Oh, that general wants to thank Master Hu, and that general won't shirk. Meng Tian said to Hu Yiping with a fist.

Hu Yiping hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The general is polite, this is what the lower officials should do, not to mention that the soldiers of the Mengjia army shed their blood for my Daqin, and the lower officials should do something for them." ”

His Majesty the Emperor walked on the streets of Xinzheng, although the common people walking on the streets were disguised by the defenders of the city, but there were still some places that these people could not prevent at all.

The street to the palace is the most prosperous street in Xinzheng City, there are many two or three storey high restaurants and inns on both sides, at this time in the second floor of an inn, the window is slightly open a small crack, and the people in the house are watching the emperor Luan driving through this gap.

When Ying Zheng's Luan drove under the window, the people in the room almost held their breath, looking at the Great Qin Emperor with a lot of blood on his hands, everyone held the weapons in their hands.

Suddenly, the door of the room was opened, and a young man walked in and said to the four men in the room: "Mr. Zhang, I brought you the person you wanted, but now his appearance is too special, so I can only leave him outside the city and can't bring him here." ”

"Okay, now that we know where this tyrant is, when he leaves Xinzheng, we will attack halfway and promise to let this tyrant die without a place to be buried. ”
