Heifu had lived here for two years as an official and married in Xianyang, so he was familiar with the city – after crossing the Weiqiao, he was full of skillful memories, and before the carriage had even turned a corner, he could know what the next streetscape would be.

But the vast majority of the people under his command, whether they were the children of the township in Nanjun or the soldiers of Lingnan, came to the imperial capital for the first time in their lives, and they immediately felt a great shock.

After following the Hevron, everyone held their breath.

The scale of Xianyang City was unheard of by them, and its lack of outer kingdoms made the capital seem even more boundless, and although the imperial court centered on it had been defeated by the countrymen in the south, and the territory had shrunk sharply, it did not affect the prosperity of the city in the slightest:

Xianyang has a population of up to one million, and the largest cities that the Northern Expeditionary Army has visited before, Jiangling and Wan, are only about 100,000, and the second- and third-tier provincial capitals are compared with the first-tier giants?

After crossing the magnificent Wei Bridge across the Tianhe River like a rainbow, the soldiers can see that in front of them, is a prosperous city, there are elm trees and locust trees planted on both sides of the road in the city, lush forests, and the road is lined with square alleys, orderly houses are lined up one after another, such a good plan, it is obviously the masterpiece of Shang Ying, a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

At present, every Lilu gate is guarded by the soldiers of the Northern Expedition, and the door is closed, this is to avoid greater chaos.

When passing through the Weibei Yanhe Avenue, Xianyang South City is here, it is a place to trade horses, cattle and sheep, corn and rice and other livestock and grain, in the past, in the past, the horses and sheep sent from Shuofang, Shangjun and Beidi neighed, and the grain from Kanto also came and went, piled up like a mountain, very lively, and the sound of the city could be heard from more than ten miles.

But today, it was very deserted, so the soldiers didn't feel it deeply.

And the most magnificent is the Xianyang Palace on the North Saka.

Looking at it from afar, I don't know what palace and He Que are, far above the inner city wall, bright and upright, depressed as connected with the sky, its solemn high que, just like Ji Ying once described to the villagers with lackluster words:

"It's like floating in the air."

In short, all the soldiers of the Northern Expedition who came to Xianyang for the first time widened their eyes, and they only felt that their eyes were not enough.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, you wouldn't believe that the scale of the city is unmatched, and even the bravest person can't help but tremble at the sight of such a magnificent spectacle.

And then there is greed......

"With such a big capital, how much grain and gold should there be!"

Although, the soldiers still can't fully understand what is in those palaces and markets:

The wide square paved with stone slabs, the narrow corridor between the earthen walls of the two palaces, the tall and mighty twelve golden men, the magnificent hall decorated with gold and jade, the bronze ritual vessels full of displays, the rows of bells, the tripods from large to small, the copper lamp candle stand that can illuminate the whole Xianyang brightly, and the beautiful lacquerware.

There are also the infinite wealth plundered from the six countries when Qin Shi Huang unified the world, such as jade, gold nuggets and beads, strings of half taels in the treasury, and large gold cakes in boxes......

As well as the simple books that condensed the wisdom of thousands of years of China, the history of the twelve princes, and the works of the hundred schools of thought, all lying quietly in several libraries of the Imperial History Mansion.

Everyone coveted it, if it weren't for the restraint of military law, if it weren't for the Marquis of Wu Zhong's arms at the forefront, the soldiers would have been unable to move their legs, and they would rush into those palaces and rob them!

Heifu could feel the shock and greed of his soldiers, most of the soldiers who were qualified to enter Xianyang with him had been with him since Yunmeng's army, and the military discipline was the best in the whole army, even they were restless because of the wealth of this capital, not to mention the other troops?

Human nature is evil, ** needs to be channeled rather than blocked, Heifu knows that he can get to this day, what he depends on, he can't let the soldiers brave the arrows and stones, go all the way to Xianyang, and finally return empty-handed......

So as early as before entering the city, Heifu asked the army to pass on an order: "Make the forward army officials, the people, seal the treasury, the forbidden palace room, and collect the prime minister's imperial history and law books." And tell the soldiers that they will have a big reward after the puppet emperor's treasury, and those who dare to rob will be punished, and those who dare to offend the officials and the people will die! ”

Having said that, but those soldiers who were ordered to seal the treasury and guard the palace room will secretly take something and stuff it into the placket, Heifu can't guarantee it? After all, when the Qin army broke Shouchun, Wang Jian also issued a similar order, but Heifu and his subordinates also filled their own pockets and obtained the first pot of gold, otherwise how could they have the money to prosper the sugarcane fields......

The heart of one person, the heart of tens of millions of people, what he couldn't do back then, his consciousness was not as good as his Northern Expedition sergeants, can he do it?

Heifu didn't expect it, his request was just to put an end to killing people and setting fires, bullying the people, and letting him go to Beijing to take the exam and get a passing grade.

"At least, there will be no more Chu people, poor scorched earth...... This city doesn't have to be destroyed! ”

"It's not too much for the money in Hu Hai's private treasury to be taken from the people and returned to the people."

Thinking like this, the carriage and horse stopped and raised their heads, but it was the majestic Xianyang Palace that arrived......

……

In front of the gate of Xianyang Palace, there is still a group of people waiting here, Ji Ying is standing in the front, his face is full of pride, next to him is a chariot, there seems to be a corpse lying on it, and there is a person with a cloak on the side of the car, kneeling on the ground, holding a sword high in both hands......

Wang Wu and Zhou Qingchen, who arrived panting after the black car, didn't understand until this time,

The protagonists of today's surrender are obviously not them, but someone else......

Heifu put down the little fart child who had been hugged for a long time, let people take him down to take care of him, and ordered the emperor to drive him to Ji Ying, pointing to the person who knelt on the ground:

"Who is this?"

The man raised his head, revealing a simple but haggard face: "Sin Minister, I've seen Marquis Wu Zhong." ”

Heifu made a look of surprise: "Why is Zongzheng so haggard? ”

Ziying sighed: "That day in Meiling, I thought that I would say goodbye to the prince and marquis, the baby was sad, and I hated to go with the prince, plus the recurrence of the water Gu, it was described as gradually ruined, and then I heard that the prince and the marquis raised troops in the south, and still believed and doubted, I never thought that I could really see the prince again, and the baby was overjoyed!" ”

"What sword is this?"

Ziying said: "This Tianzi Sword, Tai'a Sword!" ”

The Son of Heaven is known as a sword, Qin Shi Huang since he got the legendary Spring and Autumn Sword "Tai'a", he can't put it down, thinking that the sword of the Son of Heaven, when the black man is Lang Zhonghu Ling, it is often worn.

"Dare to sue the Marquis of Wuzhong, before Zhao Gao wanted to rob the puppet emperor to the west of the river (Hexi, south of Hancheng, Shaanxi), with the emperor's seal, the sword of the Son of Heaven to the Chu people, the infant could not even make it succeed, so he attacked, Zhao Gao left, and I painstakingly persuaded the puppet emperor to surrender to the Marquis of Wuzhong, but Hu Hai he ......"

Ziying lowered his head and said: "Hu Hai knew that he was guilty, and he actually hanged himself in a pavilion on the bank of Zheng Guoqu, and the infant had to collect his body and offer it together with the sword of the Son of Heaven!" ”

"So, this is Hu Hai's corpse?"

Heifu was slightly moved, and asked Ji Ying to lift the chariot mat, only to see a stiff corpse lying on it, still with the emperor's crown on its body, and an obvious strangulation mark on its neck......

Depending on his appearance, it is indeed Hu Hai who is not fake, but the possibility of a stand-in cannot be ruled out.

"Zhou Qingchen, Wang Wu?"

Heifu called out to the two Jiuqing who had surrendered in the back and asked them to come closer.

"But Hu Hai?"

Wang Wu took a closer look, it was really Hu Hai, although he had a lot of opinions about this absurd emperor, but at this moment, seeing his miserable death, he still had a sour nose, and he almost shed tears on the spot, and said: "It seems to be Hu Hai himself......"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qingchen on the side immediately shouted: "This is definitely Hu Hai, I remember this mole on his face, it definitely can't be fake!" ”

Wang Wu was pitted by Lao Zhou again.

Heifu was very satisfied with Zhou Qingchen's attitude, and asked the officials who came from afar to come forward, although there were no lack of people who secretly wiped their tears, but in front of Heifu, everyone learned to be obedient, no matter whether they had seen Hu Hai before or not, everyone was convinced, this is Hu Hai, and he can't die anymore!

Ziying sneered in his heart, he couldn't immediately draw his sword and kill this group of officials who had forgotten the favor of the Ying family, he understood that Heifu must make everyone sure: the puppet emperor is dead, and he can't make waves again.

Then, according to Ziying's imagination, Heifu, who has always liked to be a hypocrite, will announce that Hu Hai is committing suicide, and even sigh at Hu Hai's corpse, saying "Why don't you wait for me"? Then he was hastily buried.

In this way, Marquis Wu Zhong reached the violent slogan of Jingnan, and the Great Qin royal family could also end up decently and keep the last trace of Hu Hai's dignity.

The most important thing is that his son will continue to rank among the court by virtue of this achievement, and will be appointed by the Marquis of Wu Zhong as the new leader of the office, responsible for restraining the princes.

But Ziying will secretly find a way to preserve the blood of the clan for the day after tomorrow......

The situation in Guanzhong is not optimistic, Heifu will not be able to usurp the throne in a short time, as long as he survives, there is hope.

But what he didn't expect was that Heifu skipped Hu Hai's aftermath and said first:

"Zongzheng Infant ......"

After Ling Shi, who was ordered to inspect Hu Hai's body, said a few words, Heifu looked at Ziying for a long time, and suddenly announced one thing to everyone:

"Zong Zhengying is really a strange person, inheriting the style of Shijie, although he is deeply trusted by Hu Hai, he still kills his relatives with righteousness, and personally kills the puppet emperor Hu Hai, and the queen Wang came to surrender!"

The ministers who were secretly weeping for Hu Hai were suddenly dumbfounded, and they all looked at Ziying.

Is this true?

In the past, he was Hu Hai's closest friend, and later he was the only two people he trusted, who has always been honest and obedient, and the praised son and baby, in order to make a living, for the sake of wealth, would he do this kind of thing?

This is much more serious than the simple surrender of the courtiers out of the city......

Zhou Qingchen couldn't hide his surprise, and Wang Wu secretly gritted his teeth.

And the Son of Heaven Sword in Ziying's hand fell to the ground with a click, and the whole person was stunned.

"The baby has made great contributions to the country, and deserves to be rewarded by the marquis! Following his father's succession, the title ......"

Heifu looked at the consternation on Ziying's face, and with a meaningful smile, he said the words that the three Ziying had worked hard to erase from themselves for half their lives:

"Chang'an-kun!"

……

ps: good night.
