"Zhonglang Hu Ling, I heard that the Jin people in Xianyang Palace have ten of my heights, I don't know if it's true?"

Heifu turned his head sideways and looked at Youzhān, who was in the same car as him, he was no more than five feet tall, he was a congenital dwarf, with short feet and short hands, but he had an exaggerated mustache on his lips, which was even more funny.

He did not answer the dwarf's question directly, but looked at the people beside the road in Xianyang City, they were accustomed to the emperor's parade, except for bowing down, there was not much surprise, but more curious about the little dwarf bouncing on the black man's car.

"I see that the people are no less interested in you than the golden people in the court."

You Yan stood on the railing, waved at the people on the side of the road, grimaced at those children, and said with a smile: "The people of Xianyang will naturally be strange, because it is a miracle that a person like me can survive in the Qin Kingdom, which is no less than the Jin people. ”

Heifu is familiar with the law, so he naturally knows what he means, and the Qin law strictly prohibits the people from killing their children without authorization. However, it is also stipulated that if a child is born with a foreign body on his body and has a limb that is incomplete, he will not be punished for killing......

Xunzi said that the Qin people were also narrow-minded, and their people were also fierce, and the difficult living environment made ordinary people not allow a person to eat white rice to exist.

So walking on the streets of Xianyang, it is rare to see those congenitally disabled, and there are almost no dwarfs, not because the Qin people are superior, but because these people were almost killed at birth!

But Youyan is an exception, his parents are kind people, and the family conditions are okay, they didn't drown him in the toilet, but let him live well.

When he grew up, Youzhan was only five feet tall, and he couldn't do it in Shinong and business, so he could only find another way, ran to Xianyang, studied under Qi Chu and entered Qin to advocate life, and learned funny and funny things.

Advocating excellence is widespread in all countries, and its main duty is to entertain the monarch and prince with humorous and funny words during the feast, and life is not easy, as a dwarf, he can only make himself versatile.

You Zhan's eloquence is very good, and after many years in Xianyang, he has become Qin Shi Huang's favorite advocate, and when he meets a banquet, he often asks him to attend, say some funny things, stir up the atmosphere, and chat for entertainment.

Today, the 12th Jin Man is in Xianyang Palace, and the emperor wants to hold a banquet in the palace to celebrate this event, so he also brought Youhan......

Youyan did not take the carriage given to him by the emperor today, but ran to the palace gate with a pair of short legs to wait, and when the emperor's car passed by, the little man ran out to confess, saying that his coachman's mother had died of illness, so he sent him home.

At that time, he rolled up his sleeves, pointed to the position of Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC Mansion, and said seriously: "The minister comes in and practices the imperial arts, Your Majesty might as well let the minister control the six horses, how so?" ”

These words made the emperor laugh, and with a wave of his hand, he asked the middle man in front of him to let Heifu pick up the little man and take him for a ride.

Heifu didn't think it was humiliating, because he had a good impression of Yujan. Although the little man's profession is funny, he is different from the vulgar ordinary advocate, he has also read some books, knows good and evil, knows loyalty and treachery, and what he says often implies truth.

Last month, the emperor held a banquet in Zhangtai Palace, and it was raining, and under the stairs of the palace, Heifu and his majesty were drenched in the rain, but they couldn't move. When Youhan entered the palace, he saw this situation, so he asked everyone: "Do you want to avoid the rain?" ”

Everyone was drenched a little miserably, and they all nodded, and it was impossible for Heifu to enter the temple to ask for rest, knowing that Youyan had a lot of ideas, so he wanted to see what tricks he could play.

After receiving an affirmative reply, after receiving an affirmative reply, Youzhan went to the hall to toast Qin Shi Huang and shouted long live, and then Youzhan approached the railing and shouted loudly to the outside of the hall: "Your Majesty! ”

Lang Wei agreed, and Youhan smiled and said, "Although you are tall, what's the use?" Now I have to stand in the open air and get drenched in the rain. Although I am short, I am fortunate to be sheltered from the rain in the temple, hahaha. ”

This sentence reminded Qin Shi Huang, so the guards were allowed to halve their duty and take turns to stay on guard.

Since then, Heifu has not treated Youhan as an ordinary fortunate minister.

Not long after the emperor crossed the Wei Bridge, Xianyang Palace arrived.

"The first time Zhonglang Huling came to Xianyang Palace?" Yujan is a regular visitor here, and compared to him, Heifu is a newcomer.

Heifu said: "However, it has been four months, and since I entered the palace, this is the first time that His Majesty has moved to Xianyang Palace, so I have never had the honor to come here." ”

"Nothing to be lucky about."

You Yan said with a smile: "Xianyang Palace is a palace built a hundred years ago, and those Jique are old, so Your Majesty prefers Zhangtai Palace and dislikes the narrowness of Xianyang Palace." ”

Heifu bowed: "However, I heard that in the past few months, Xianyang Palace has been expanded a lot. ”

Qi Yan Fangshi Lu Sheng and others suggested to Qin Shi Huang, saying that heaven and earth are symmetrical, and the heavenly residence of the Emperor of Heaven also corresponds to the palaces and cities in Guanzhong. Weishui is like the Milky Way, the Zhangtai Palace where His Majesty lives, is the Tianji, through the Weiqiao, across the Tianhe River and arrived at the Xianyang Palace, it corresponds to the Ziwei Palace, is the emperor's residence......

Qin Shi Huang believed their words and began to reattach importance to Xianyang Palace and renovate it.

And today, with the casting of twelve golden figures, placed in the Xianyang Palace, it is also announced that the first phase of the Xianyang Palace renovation project has been successfully completed.

"But Your Majesty's desires don't stop there......"

You Zhan shook his head, he was also a close minister, so he also knew the emperor's next plans.

Qin Shi Huang made people imitate the palace of the six countries and built the "Six Kings Palace", with the destruction of the six countries one after another, has risen behind the Xianyang Palace, those from the six countries snatched from the women's jade silk ritual vessels are full of it, this is regarded as the second phase of the project, now half of the progress has been carried out.

That's it, but Qin Shi Huang's ultimate goal is to create a "heaven on earth" in Guanzhong, and to add palaces in various places, from the east of Yongmen to Jing and Wei, and the palace houses are listed in the Zhou Pavilion to make them correspond to the stars in the sky one by one!

While speaking, the Wai Lang Ling, who guarded the Xianyang Palace, opened the heavy gate, and under Meng Yi's order, Heifu waited for Lang Wei to take the lead in several cars, galloping in first, and the guards left and right.

When the car entered the city gate, what Heifu saw at a glance was a wide square, the ground paved with the foundation stone was very flat, and a central axis avenue led directly from Sima Gate to the main hall of Xianyang Palace.

On both sides of the road, there are twelve huge golden men standing up to the sky!

Each of them was five feet tall, about 11 meters tall in later generations, four stories high, and sat in a kneeling position.

The first six Jin people were dressed in foreign clothes, and their appearance was not like that of Xia people, and after Heifu nodded, he found that except for the five-zhang giant that appeared in Lintao, with a high nose and deep eyes, the rest corresponded to Xirong, Dongyi, Nanban, Beidi Xiongnu, and Yue people.

The last six are the six kings of Qi, Chuyan, Han, Zhao, and Wei, with lifelike faces, all of them with deferential expressions, and different dresses and demeanors, as if they were magnified seven or eight times the terracotta warriors......

The difference is that the terracotta warriors and horses are used to guard the emperor's mausoleum, and these twelve golden men symbolize the submission of the six kingdoms and the four empires.

Individually, it doesn't feel like much, but the twelve of them are lined up by the roadside, reflecting a metallic sheen in the sunlight, and the thought that this is 221 B.C. makes it seem like a miracle indeed......

The Colossus of Rhode Island, the pyramids, and the lighthouse of Alexandria, the West at the same time was also full of miracles, which was also a common problem in the classical empire.

"It's so high, it's so big."

Youhan raised his head exaggeratedly in Heifu's car, looked at the twelve golden people who were ten times taller than him, and sighed with emotion: "It's a pity, it's big and useless!" It's just something that hurts the country and the people! ”

Heifu glanced at the little man in surprise, and Youhan also grinned: "Is Zhonglang Huling wondering, I advocate excellence, funny and amusing, why would I say such a thing?" ”

Youhan stopped being funny, and became serious: "The matter of Zhonglang Hu Ling's previous letter to His Majesty has spread, although it seems that it is only recommended to melt a thousand sharp swords for the king's couch, but in fact, it is to remind Your Majesty that it is not easy to win the world, and it is even more difficult to defend the world!" ”

"I can hear the meaning of your words. It is to persuade Your Majesty that instead of sending a lot of conscription and gathering the strength of 100,000 people to cast twelve golden men, it is better to build a difficult couch to remind the emperor and future generations not to forget to be in Ju, which is really well-intentioned! ”

Heifu was a little surprised, this Youhan, is there something wrong?

"Jun is also the first courtier who dares to speak out and advise on this matter! Be a role model for our generation! ”

Yuhan bowed heavily to Heifu, his eyes full of admiration.

Heifu was speechless for a moment, he was just a traverser's bad taste, but he didn't expect that Qin Mo Chengshang would thank him afterwards, saying that he didn't expect Heifu to really admonish, but unfortunately His Majesty didn't listen, which made him confused.

Listening to Youhan's words again at this moment, Heifu thought about it, only to realize that he had made a mistake, and it really looked like a witty admonition!

"Could it be that Zulong also thought so, so he rejected my suggestion?"

Heifu didn't know if he was self-defeating or clumsy, and wanted to explain: "I didn't ...... It's not me ......" but Yujan seemed to be so motivated that he didn't give him a chance to explain.

"Although Youzhan is an advocate of excellence, he doesn't dare to compare with Yan Ying and Chun Yuji of Qi State, but he can also learn from Youmeng when he was the king of Chuzhuang!"

These three people are all characters who can give advice with witty words, and they are also his idols.

After saying that, the dwarf put on a funny appearance again, jumped past the feet of the twelve golden men, and ran towards Qin Shi Huang's car, under the huge golden man, the short dwarf stumbled and ran, looking very funny.

When the emperor got out of the car, he looked at the first miracle he had set up with his hands behind his back with satisfaction, and asked Youhan about the 12 golden people who were magnificent, and Youhan smiled and said: "Good, these 12 golden people are tall and big, and they guard Your Majesty. ”

"The minister also heard that His Majesty wants to make a big palace, east to Hangu Pass, west to Yong, Chen Cang, so even better. In this way, the soldiers do not have to guard in Hangu and Wuguan, if Kou comes from the east, he can make the palace concubines hold bows and arrows, ride elks, drive sheep carts, and block them in the palace! ”

Heifu happened to walk to the side, and when he heard this, he saw that the emperor's face was quite unhappy, and his heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, Youzhan is so scared that his legs are weak, so he said this." ”

Qin Shi Huang was discouraged, and he was very unhappy, but he didn't want to deal with a dwarf who didn't choose to speak.

How can you know that he has the good intentions of establishing a golden man, symbolizing the submission of the six countries and the four empires, and there will never be a war in Kyushu?

So he rebuked: "Lie! The world has been decided, the six kings are salty, there is peace inside and outside the pass, the head of Qiantou is drunk, where does Kou come from? ”

was about to wave his sleeves and let Heifu put this person down and blast him out of the palace, but unexpectedly, among the people who came from the steps of the main hall of Xianyang Palace, the leading one was wearing a plain white deep coat, with jade hanging from his waist, and stood out in a black robe, and he also heard Youhan's advice.

He gritted his teeth, and despite the hindrance of a certain attendant on the side, he also stepped forward a few steps and bowed:

"Your Majesty, although the words of advocating excellence are vulgar, they are also reasonable. Erchen has been studying recently, and when he saw Zi Mozi's words, those who benefit from the world will win the world. Those who take advantage of the world will lose the world! Today's initial decision, the distant Qianshou has not been gathered, Your Majesty should benefit the world, not take advantage of the world, and suddenly build construction! ”

After that, he raised his head, revealing a delicate face like jade, seventeen or eighteen years old, but there was already a compassionate look in his eyes.

"Fu Su is bold to speak, I don't ask Your Majesty to remove the Jin people, but I hope Your Majesty can stop repairing the Guanzhong Palace! Rest with the people! ”
