Chapter 627: Extremely Prosperous
After the sacrifice of prisoners, the next is the Kai Ge Zhen Brigade, this is the practice of the Qin army after the victory and return, in the past, Li Xin, Meng Tian, Heifu conquered the Xiongnu back to Xianyang, it was held in the northern suburbs, Heifu improvised a song "the moon black goose flies high, and the single escapes at night" is widely sung.
Now at the foot of this Jieshi Mountain, the 3,000 soldiers brought by Fusu are standing neatly, and on the sea in the distance, there are dozens of buildings and ships puffing up their sails to cheer up.
But what to sing, is also very particular, generally speaking, it is to choose the songs in the Book of Poetry to sing - the folk ban poetry books, but the government still rituals and songs on important occasions, this is that only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps!
On this matter, Heifu and Fusu communicated during their long sea journey.
"For all the soldiers, a song "Dongshan" is the most in line with our state of mind."
At that time, Fusu drank a few sips of wine, and his mouth began to jump into the truth.
"I wandered to the east and did not return. I'm from the East, and there's no rain. I am going back, and my heart is sad ......"
This poem is said to have been written 800 years ago, when Zhou Gongdan led the Westerners to the east, the Westerners wandered in the East Mountain, missed the West Land, and returned to their hometown after three years of war. However, it has a bit of the meaning of "fifteen from the army, eighty years to return".
Full of calculations, Fusu has been on the expedition for a year and a half, this thousands of miles of journey is not easy to walk, Yan Zhao's conscripts have no fighting spirit, they are doing coolies the whole time, even the Qin soldiers in Guanzhong, as soon as they heard that they were leaving Haidong, Xin'er flew back to their hometown in the west, happy that they no longer need to go on expeditions to foreign lands, but those who were selected and stayed behind seemed to have fallen into the abyss, unhappy, and could only watch most of the robes leave.
The people who left were of course happy, especially not to go to Liaodong, which was full of mountains and forests, but to take a boat directly to Jieshi, which used to take three months of travel, but now it will be there in ten days, and Fusu can't help but sigh, if you can also take the sea route when you come, it will not be so many people as dead.
"Yang Duan and the old general, don't have to be burdened by me and die on the journey."
Fusu is a person who can't let go, and he has already carried all those lives.
But the soldiers who have returned to their hometowns, in the brain to make up for the joy of reuniting with their loved ones, are also worried, the sons of these farmers, the most worried is that they have been away for too long, the lack of labor in the family fields will reduce the yield year after year? And his wife, who has been away for more than a year, will find a wild man outside......
At that time, I heard Fusu say that the song "Dongshan" was really a portrayal of the hearts of the soldiers of the whole army.
But without waiting for Heifu's persuasion, Fusu pressed this idea down by himself.
"Don't blame Wei Jun, it's Fusu who lost his words, and his father won't want to hear these ......"
This is natural, the war in the eyes of the superior is completely different from the small soldiers, what Qin Shi Huang wants to hear is the great martial arts, it is the great Qin heavenly soldiers who destroy the withering and decaying, and divide the five horses of the recalcitrant small Bangyi chieftains, which is to open up the territory for the empire and forever go down in history.
Instead of the joys and sorrows of thousands, tens of thousands of little people, will people care about what the ants think?
Then, Fusu's favorite song "Han Yi" was also rejected by Heifu.
Heifu said to Fusu: "Although this poem is appropriate, it is full of Han Hou, and there is something 'dying in the north, because of his uncle', I am afraid that people will misunderstand, thinking that Gongzi is advocating feudalism, and even has the intention of asking for the title of Marquis for himself." β
It's like a year-end report handed over to a big boss, every detail must be considered, and the soldiers' blood and sweat must not be wasted because of bad wording.
Fusu has now understood this, and his jaw should be.
It's just that what he thinks in his heart is:
"If you really have the opportunity to govern one side according to your own ideas, there is nothing wrong with it, although Fusu has no great talent, but ......"
A smile appeared at the corner of Childe Fusu's mouth:
"Fang sixty or seventy, such as fifty or sixty, Fusu is also for it, compared to three years, can make the people. Such as its courtesy, in order to be a gentleman. I asked myself, I can still do it! β
But Fusu can't say this, and if he says it, Qin Shi Huang won't "bask in it" like Confucius, but will be furious!
Everything that has been paid in the past year and a half, and the dead people will all be in vain!
The two pondered for a long time at sea, and finally, Fusu thought of a little, patted his forehead and said:
"I'm also confused, when the prison army named Lintun Seoul, they had already found the most suitable verse."
"Huh?"
Heifu was stunned and didn't react at all.
"Jiang Han floats, and martial arts are surging. Bandits and bandits, Huaiyi came to beg. Both out of my car, both set me ζ (yΓΊ). Kuang'an and Kuangshu, Huaiyi to shop! β
Fusu read this song, it is Dayali's "Jianghan", it is about the time of King Xuan of Zhou, summoning the tiger to level Huaiyi, Haidong used to be called "the land of Jiuyi", in the eyes of the Central Plains people, Huaiyi Jiuyi are barbarians, barely able to cope, and there are no taboo words.
"No wonder Wei Jun named Lintun Seoul, so that's it!"
Fusu took it for granted.
Heifu was speechless, he was a big man, he really didn't think about so many connotations, he just wanted to play a stalk.
But this poem is indeed very suitable as a triumphant song, and the two of them made a decision on the spot, and asked the military music officers and sergeants to sing harmony, even if they can't sing it, they can babble along with the tune.
So, at this moment, on the first day of the first month of the 35th year of Qin Shi Huang, the entire Jieshi Mountain echoed with such a voice:
"Jianghan soup soup, Wufu Xuan. Operate the Quartet and sue the king. The Quartet is peaceful, and the kingdom is stable. There is a dispute between the times, and the king's heart is in peace! β
Whether it is the meaning or the words, they all make Qin Shi Huang Long Yan happy, and he finally has a little smile on his face, which has not known joy and anger.
"Although Fusu was once blocked, at least it returned victoriously and did not fall into the power of a great state! From the general downward, all the officials should be rewarded for their meritorious deeds! β
What this means: You've passed!
Only then did the ministers congratulate each other, and Heifu also breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not easy, thousands of people help thousands of people push, and this test paper of Fusu has finally been handed in smoothly......"
β¦β¦
According to Qin Shi Huang's habit of "visiting here", in Jieshi Mountain, it is inevitable to erect another carved stone.
Tinkling, craftsmen stand on wooden frames, knock on the boulders by the sea, and paint them with lacquer.
But one day, an ode suddenly appeared on the rock!
The ministers watched this grand scene, and the confessor read aloud the Qin seal above.
"Then the division and brigade are revived, and there is no way to kill, and they are destroyed for the reverse. Wu Fu is rebellious, Wen Fu is not guilty, and he is obedient! β
Emperor Qin's self-esteem, carving stones, talking about his personal merits, but sweeping **, chasing the Huns, and destroying the Yue clan have been turned over and over several times on the carved stone in Qidi, and he himself is a little annoyed.
So in Jieshi, he only focused on the two major events of Qin Shi Huang sending Fusu to pursue Canghaijun and Tu Sui's southern expedition to Baiyue.
After years of hard work, hundreds of thousands of people ran around, and finally turned into a few words on the stone.
As a witness, Fusu's mood was very complicated, but the words and sentences read out by the confessor next made him feel refreshed!
"The terrain is established, Li Shu has no rope, and the world is salty. Men enjoy their domains, women cultivate their careers, and everything is orderly. Hui was all produced, and he came to the field for a long time, so he didn't feel uneasy! β
Except for Li Sidong, who was ordered to draw up the stone carving, the ministers who did not know the content of the stone carving in advance were shocked.
Qin Zheng's most painful thing for the people was the heavy forced labor, but now, the emperor openly announced: Li Shu has no rope?
This statement has the meaning of stopping the war and resting with the people!
"Perhaps, it is not only Fusu that has changed, but also the emperor's ......"
Heifu looked at Qin Shi Huang, the emperor was still high, and it was impossible to figure out whether this was a scene or whether it was really going to be done like this.
Or, within the sight of Qin Shi Huang, all the places that could be fought have been completed, and the emperor's desire to conquer has been satisfied?
"Wait, it seems like it's endless......"
Heifu suddenly remembered something, and secretly said that it was not good.
"I almost forgot about the Wu brothers."
Many years ago, Heifu talked about the western world of flowers in front of the Wu brothers, trying to lure them all the way west. But now, he only hopes that the caravan sent by the Wu clan to the west will slow down, and not discover the vast world west of the Green Ridge too early, and the many civilizations dotted around, for fear that they will arouse Qin Shi Huang's desires again.
Heifu's mentality has really changed, and now he only hopes that the insatiable fire of the first emperor through the ages, the endless desire to conquer, will be burned and extinguished before he finds new firewood, which is a good thing for everyone!
On the other hand, Fusu was very excited in his heart, at this moment, Qin Shi Huang was in his eyes again, as bright as when he was young!
"Li Shu has no rope, and the world is salty. Men are happy, women are cultivated, if this is the case, the world can be truly stable......"
Regardless of what Qin Shi Huang thought in his heart, the ministers once again praised the emperor's merits, and they complimented:
"The Xiongnu Yue clan is afraid of the majesty of His Majesty and flees away, Mu Nan has no royal court, the north of Great Xia, inside and outside the Great Wall, cattle and sheep are everywhere, and the border people are no longer at risk of plundering.
"Qin cavalry has waded into quicksand and slightly the Western Regions, between the Kunlun Tianshan Mountains, dozens of Hu people and small states are willing to serve Qin as the master, exotic melons and fruits, and the jade of Kunshan have all flowed into the Central Plains and are decorated on the imperial court."
"The land and water army jointly cut down the sea and conspired against it, the building ship crossed to the east, the North Korea paid tribute, and now the east of the sea has been determined, and the East China Sea is like a pool in the courtyard of His Majesty, and the mink tail raccoon skin hangs down on the crown of the scholars."
"The southern Baiyue will also be pacified, and the king of Xiou will give the head, presumably it won't be long before the Qin flag can be inserted into the north to the household, opening up thousands of miles, and the rhino pearl will be as much as rubble!"
"**Within, the Emperor's Land! Wherever people go, there are no subordinates. Three emperors and five emperors, the rule of three generations, added together, there is no prosperity of today's Great Qin! β
The ministers all bowed and said loudly: "Throughout the ages, they are not as prosperous as Great Qin!" β
The sound of singing praises and virtues echoed in Jieshi Mountain, and all the voices were telling Qin Shi Huang that he was the greatest ruler who had never been seen before or since, and Qin's rule was also at its peak at this moment!
The soldiers are suffering from the war, the people are tired of conscription, and in the past ten years, the lives and strength that have passed, the many hidden dangers hidden under this extreme prosperity, and the restoration forces of the Six Kingdoms, all these stains seem to have been covered up by the magnificent martial arts of the flowers!
This time, even the two people who liked to admonish Qin Shi Huang the most, Mao Jiao and Fusu, were silent.
Since the emperor doesn't like to think deeply and exalt and let himself go, then they can only learn to do it, and they can only learn to raise their waves and defile with the world......
Because they knew that the emperor at this time had been blindfolded by the great cause he had created, and he couldn't listen to half a word of opposition.
I only hope that after hitting all the places that can be hit in all directions, he can really do what the stone carving says:
"Li Shu has no choice!"
Now, only good news from the south, Tu Sui killed Xi'ou Jun half a year ago, and reported to Qin Shi Huang that he had taken control of Xi'ou, and was ready to spend three months to completely pacify, and then he would join forces with the Qin army in South Vietnam, attack Luo Yue further south, and march until the north Xianghu......
According to the script prepared by the prime ministers on the left and right, at this time, there should be an envoy from the south to arrive and announce the good news loudly!
Everyone knows it and is looking forward to it.
But until the end of the ceremony of the Jieshi door carving, the envoy from the south did not arrive, but when the ministers sang praises, someone hurriedly entered and quietly handed a letter to Prime Minister Li Si.
Li Si blocked everyone's sight with his wide sleeves, took the time to take a look, his eyelids jumped, but he didn't show his face, but when no one was paying attention, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, and the old man's unfazed heart began to beat violently.
When the ceremony was nearing its end and Qin Shi Huang was impatiently waiting, Li Si walked over and whispered a few words in the emperor's ear......
Standing in Heifu's position, he could only see that the smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth was gone, and every time Li Si said a word, Qin Shihuang nodded, and finally, his eyes were full of disappointment.
After Li Si finished speaking, the emperor just drank an extra glass of wine with an expressionless face, and then asked the ceremonial officials to disband the ministers and let Zhao Gaobei leave.
That's it for today's feast!
The ministers looked at each other, this was different from the script they imagined, and they vaguely felt that something was wrong, but they didn't know what was going on.
It was only later that Prime Minister Li Si, who had gone with Qin Shi Huang, came out and named several ministers.
"Imperial Doctor, Lang Zhongling, Pawn, Shaofu, and ......"
Li Si looked at Heifu and said with a smile: "There is also the Jiaodong County Guard, Your Majesty has a call!" β
"Me?"
As the only county guard among the secretaries, Heifu was a little "flattered", and looked at Mao Jiao, the imperial historian, who shook his head and said that he didn't know.
Several officials of the government and the opposition immediately arrived at a hall in the Jieshi Palace, and after entering, they found that there were almost no attendants inside, and Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, who were almost inseparable from Qin Shihuang on weekdays, were nowhere to be seen.
And the eldest son, Fusu, is not included in the summons.
"Your Majesty!"
Heifu only thinks that it must be no good.
Qin Shi Huang sat behind the desk, his hands on his head, he didn't even bother to say that he was exempt, and Heifu could see that the emperor was trying his best to suppress his anger.
Seeing that everyone was coming, the emperor sneered: "Prime Minister Li, this kind of good news, it's up to you to tell the secretaries!" β
"No......"
Li Si responded with difficulty, coughed lightly, and told everyone what had happened.
"I just received an urgent report from the south, when General Tu Sui was passing through Xiou and attacking Luo Yue in the south, he was ambushed by the Yue people, suffered a poisoned arrow, and died of poison before he returned to Guilin!"
