Chapter 822: But See Under the Three Springs
In this way, Li Xin has changed himself from a defeated general and an abandoned son to a generation of famous generals again."
It seemed like a long time had passed, and Heifu finally finished telling Li Xin's story.
got up and looked at the west and said: "No matter what happens to Li Xin in the future, just with his efforts to chase the Huns, destroy the Yue clan, open the west of the river, and pass through the Western Regions, there should be a place for him in the Jingbian Temple!" β
"Turning all the land within Liuhe into the land of Great Qin is the ambition of the first emperor, and it is also the ambition of me and Li Xin. Fortunately, in the past eight years, I have not achieved nothing, he waded in quicksand in the west, passed the Great Xia in the north, and I had the East China Sea in the east, and the north and the south, which was evenly divided. β
Han Xin bowed: "I just don't know General Li Xin, where is he now?" β
Heifu knows this old colleague very well: "Li keeps his promise and respects the first emperor, even if he hears about the Central Plains, with my understanding of him, if he doesn't go to the end of the sky and the earth, and doesn't find the so-called Western Queen Mother State, he probably won't turn back." General Li, I'm afraid he will go further than I imagined! β
After Heifu finished Li Xin's story, he said to Han Xin: "The reason why I mention Li Xin's old story is to tell you that it is not a bad thing to suffer such a small setback when you are young, the key is to be brave and courageous, and to grow wise." β
Han Xin hurriedly bowed: "Han Xin is guilty." β
Heifu waved his hand: "What crime do you have, I only let you hit Yingchuan and Nanyang, but you even cut off the grain road of Luyang and Wuguan, which greatly exceeded my expectations, and anyone in the army has been replaced, even if it is me, I can't do better, it's strange, it's strange, the opponent you met is Wang Ben......"
He said earnestly: "Han Xin, you are a handsome talent, a peerless national soldier, but don't underestimate the people of the world, especially Wang Ben!" Wang's father and son are the great heroes of Qin Shi Huang's sweep of the Six Kingdoms, and they are not simple! When playing against him, you must be cautious and careful, and if you are careless, you may repeat the mistakes of the past. β
"Han Xin saved!"
Han Xin gritted his teeth and said: "I just hope that the prince will give Han Xin another chance, so that Han Xin can compete with Wang Ben in Nanyang, and it will be determined that the Marquis of Wuzhong will defeat the army and seize the county!" β
Heifu shook his head: "This winter, the main battlefield is in Hanzhong, Nanyang, I don't plan to make a big move." β
"Then Han Xin is willing to go to Hanzhong!" Han Xin expected that the tens of thousands of people who intercepted him on Danshui should be sent by Wang Ben to aid Hanzhong and stop the Northern Expeditionary Army, and if they could be defeated, it would be a shame.
Heifu wanted to deliberately suppress Han Xin: "There is a Dongmen leopard in Han, he has captured Shangyong, Zhao Tuo and Wu Chen should be able to annihilate Feng Zheng quickly, and the three armies will hunt Nanzheng." β
Han Xin was a little disappointed, feeling that Marquis Wu Zhong still trusted those old subordinates more.
But Heifu said: "You don't have to rush to go on another expedition, since last year, it has hardly stopped, and rest and rest, I still have something to discuss with you." β
Han Xin was still well-behaved in front of Heifu, and bowed his head and said: "The military order of the prince is to listen to it." β
"This is not the case, it is your life's work."
Heifu said with a smile: "My brother Wei Zhen is serving as the Tuntian Governor in Jiangling, I heard that you are young and promising, young and talented, and you are single and unmarried, so I want to marry my daughter to you, let me be a match......maker for him."
"Han Xin, my niece was raised by me since I was a child, just like my daughter-in-law, she is eighteen years old, she looks good, and she was personally raised by my wife, this family business, are you willing?"
β¦β¦
Han Xin came from a humble background, his parents died, and he didn't think about marrying when he was young, but after becoming a general, he was busy with the military and didn't have time to think about it.
However, when he entered Jiangling, many local clans came to get close to him, wanting to marry this rising star, but they were all rejected by Han Xin.
Now that he has suffered a defeat, instead of resenting him and scolding him, Heifu wants to be the master to marry his niece to him, Han Xin is surprised, how can he not allow it!?
Heifu was very satisfied: "Next month, I will arrange for you to go to Gangneung to meet her, and then let the diviner calculate the days, take advantage of the winter truce, and do this happy event!" β
He patted Han Xin affectionately: "In the future, you will also be my nephew." β
"The grace of the prince, I dare not forget it!"
The depression of not being able to go on the expedition in a short period of time has long been forgotten in the back of his mind, and Han Xin now only feels that he is really unique in the heart of Marquis Wu Zhong......
After Han Xin left happily, Heifu looked at the shadow of the young man in the distance and said in a low voice:
"Now, it's kind of binding you......"
However, Han Xin is also a talent, although he can't get along with his colleagues, he is also a grateful person, especially when his niece marries him, and he doesn't have to serve his in-laws, which is not bad.
On the same day, Heifu stayed up all night, except for military dispatch, grain and straw expenses, and reward expenses, the land rent of each county was paid, and after dealing with the endless government and military affairs, he walked out of the door, and the sky was about to shine.
After managing a quarter of the world, there are so many things, and Heifu somewhat understands why Qin Shi Huang would exhaust his body before he is fifty.
He pounded his somewhat sore shoulders and said enviously:
"Li Xin, Li Xin."
"If possible."
"I really want to exchange with you, all the way to the west, I don't have to care about this case, and I don't have to watch the sky fall apart."
"But no......"
He sighed: "The unification of the world is also something that I have personally participated in, and I know how difficult it is." β
For some reason, Heifu always had a hunch that the black dog and white horse, who were all famous in the past, would probably be under Sanquan when they met again......
"You and I have our own mission."
"Someone has gone to expand the territory and carve out foreign lands."
"Someone has to stay and clean up the mess left by Qin Shi Huangdi!"
β¦β¦
In the first year of the Second Dynasty, in late October, in the hinterland of Guanzhong, under the tall Lishan Mountain, on the Loess Plain, under the construction of hundreds of thousands of people, a new city rose from the ground.
The layout of this city is like Xianyang, there are more than five miles in the week, there are two walls inside and outside, the city wall is set up on all sides of the tall gate, the shape is the three out of the capital of the Son of Heaven, but within the city wall, it is not a big hall, but an unfathomable underground palace!
This is exactly the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.
According to the etiquette system, the Son of Heaven was buried on the seventh day and buried in July, Hu Hai, Li Si, Zhao Gao and Gao did not want to betray the name of the secret and not mourn, and even said that the first emperor arrived in Xianyang at the end of March, and died after hearing that Heifu had rebelled.
As a result, Qin Shi Huang's coffin was buried as early as April, before Hu Hai succeeded to the throne.
There were more than 100,000 people in the funeral procession that day, and in front of it was a guard of honor, with a total of five elements and eight people in each line. In the middle is the coffin, and there are more than 2,000 people who pull the coffin. The funeral procession stretched for more than ten miles, and it took three full days from Xianyang to Lishan before the layers of the coffin of the first emperor were placed in the underground palace tomb that had been repaired, and then the inner door of the tomb was closed.
Since then, the mysterious underground palace in the Neixian Gate has only left a legend: it is said that it is deep and wide, dug under the three springs, and then poured copper juice to strengthen the foundation.
In the tomb palace, the palace pavilion and the rank of a hundred officials are built, and they are full of rare treasures. To prevent theft, the tomb is equipped with a clever arrow that can be fired at a moment's notice. The curved roof of the burial chamber is decorated with jeweled pearls, symbolizing celestial stars; Below is the geography of Momokawa, Gogatake and Kyushu, which is infused with mercury and symbolizes the endless flow of rivers and seas, with a golden phoenix bird and pheasant floating on it, and a "lantern" made of whale oil in the East China Sea is lit around it......
As for the inner envy door, there are also the middle envy door and the outer envy door, which are repaired layer by layer.
The amount of work is so huge, in order not to destroy the feng shui of Lishan, 100,000 convicts get to quarry dozens or even hundreds of miles away, and dozens of people die every day, and countless people fall to death, or are crushed to death by boulders.
Hundreds of thousands of stones have been transported to the cemetery by cattle and horses, and the stonemasons here are tinkling, beating stone bricks, and the body is covered with a layer of white ash, and the clay craftsmen who fire the terracotta figurines also change people without extinguishing the furnace, day and night, and fire out the vivid colored terracotta warriors and horses.
Under the labor of hundreds of thousands of people, the underground palace castle, terracotta warriors and horses, and burial pits were completed before the official funeral in late October, although there was no reward for completing it early, but at least, it was exempted from the punishment of the new emperor.
Although the rebellion in the east and south intensified, Hu Hai still rejected the suggestion of Li Si and others to "keep the funeral simple" in order to show his filial piety.
He almost exhausted the last wealth of the Shaofu, pulled all the civil and military officials to participate, and after a vast and cumbersome ceremony, he ended the funeral.
Seeing that the ceremony was over, the Second Emperor and his relatives left the Lishan Mausoleum, and the 3,000 skilled craftsmen responsible for the construction of the core of the underground palace were relieved that they could finally return homeβthey had been working here for more than half a year, during which time they were under the centralized supervision of the army, all contact with the outside world was closed, and no letters were allowed to flow out.
But the 3,000 people were happily packing up their things, but they were told by the official who supervised the work: "Before closing the outer envy door, we still need to check the organs in the underground palace one last time!" β
The crowd reluctantly returned to the dark underground, groped around, and after confirming that it was correct, they wanted to return to the ground, but they were stunned to find that waiting for them at the outer gate was a group of heavily armed crossbowmen and a young eunuch with a grim expression......
"It's ......"
The wise man guessed the reason, and then scolded with a crying voice: "What crime have we committed? β
"Thou shalt be innocent."
The young eunuch smiled: "It's just, I know too much!" β
With a wave of his hand, the indignant voices of the craftsmen were broken by the crisp ejection of the crossbow machine, and the material officer mechanically wound up, aimed, pulled, and shot the quiver, and a cart of crossbow arrows was sent over......
The corridor was long and straight, the craftsmen had nowhere to escape, many lay in pools of blood, and many more were nailed to the wall with crossbow arrows.
In the dungeon, the screams continued, and after a long time, when no one let out a single moan, the heavy outer envy door slowly fell, blocking the last beam of light outside, but it couldn't stop the blood that slowly flowed out from the gap at the bottom!
Three thousand craftsmen and collectors, from the gray-haired old man to the apprentice who only followed the master, as long as the person who participated in the core construction of the underground palace, there was no return!
The Lang official, who was ordered to act, was cautious and asked the young eunuch: "Confessor, don't you need to check if someone is fake dead?" β
"No need."
The eunuch is in his early twenties, thin lips, white face and beardless, and his eyes are ruthless, his name is Zhang Ao, he is the son of a thief of Wei who was sent to Guanzhong before unification, after being castrated, he was a horse feeder in the palace, and was later discovered and promoted by Zhao Gao, who was in charge of carriages and horses, and has now become his cronies.
"It is more painful to linger than to die on the spot."
Zhang Ao sneered: "Those who survive, even if they survive the rot of the wounds, in the future, I am afraid they will have to taste the taste of human flesh in the stench of the corpses!" β
He licked his lips and returned to the outside of the palace, but his face changed, he groveled, and said to Yan Lezuo, who was here to supervise the prisoners to fill in the underground palace and pile up the sealed soil:
"Shaofu and young eunuch, the petty personnel are done!"
"Great goodness."
Yan Le is Zhao Gao's son-in-law: "In this way, I don't have to worry about someone leaking the secret of the tomb path!" β
The crying and the smell of blood here are no lower than those at the outer envy gate, Zhang Ao glanced at the distance, but saw many palace maids of different ages, driven by Lang Weijun, jumped into the deep burial pit and buried them alive.
There are also women who have been hanged and killed elsewhere, transported here in horse-drawn carts, and thrown into pits and landfilled......
This terrifying scene was also an order from the second emperor Hu Hai.
"Your Majesty has an order, the first emperor and the harem do not have children, it is not appropriate to go out, and they are all ordered to die."
Yan Le said helplessly: "But you must know that the first emperor swept away the six kingdoms and moved all the palaces of the six countries to Guanzhong, and came from Qin. Some of them were rewarded for meritorious soldiers, and the other part was placed in the palaces of the six kingdoms of Ganquan, Zhangtai and Xianyang, but most of them had never even seen the face of the first emperor, and only listened to the palace car passing by, and listened to it from afar, and there were 7,000 people who did not have children......
Seven thousand women from six countries, according to the rules, these palace people who have never had children and are decrepit should be released from the palace and let them marry to make a living.
But Hu Hai actually listened to Hu Wu's words and thought that "it is not appropriate to go out of the way", plus he disliked that these women were old, and he didn't want to take over, but he disliked that they were numerous, wasting money, and simply cut it all and were all martyred!
He also said triumphantly to Li Si: "Didn't the right prime minister repeatedly persuade me to be thrifty? I'm thrifty! I have done the throttling thing, and the open source matter will be handed over to the right prime minister! β
These words shocked Li Si dumbfounded.
Lang Weijun, who was supposed to defend the emperor, has now become a murderer of poisonous women, and many Lang Wei, who was born in the aristocracy, resolutely refused, so he was arrested and imprisoned by Lang Zhong Zhao Gao.
Another group of palace maids were tied hands, driven by Lang Wei, so frightened that they couldn't walk, so they were dragged forward, passing by Zhang Ao's side, but a handsome little palace maid recognized him, so she was overjoyed, howling and begging for mercy......
"Ah Ao, save the concubine, save the concubine!"
"Get out!"
Zhang Ao's face was hideous, and he kicked the palace maid who rushed over and hugged his leg far away, despite the fact that she had eaten against him and comforted each other.
"It's the Wei girl who was sent to Xianyang together in the early years."
When the woman was also thrown into the burial pit, Zhang Ao explained to Yan Le with a smile.
Yan Le sneered: "Zhang Ao, do you know why Lang Zhongling values you so much?" β
Zhang Ao hurriedly bowed, and Yan Le said: "Because you haven't forgotten who you are, who your enemy is!" β
"My enemy is a traitor!"
Zhang Ao fell to the ground and gritted his teeth: "If it weren't for the black husband, Zhang Ao's mother would not have committed suicide, would not have been separated from her father, and would not have become a person who was left behind her sentence!" β
"If only you knew." Yan Le nodded with satisfaction:
"Lishan's affairs are well done, but Lang Zhongling still has something to do for you."
Zhang Ao is resigned.
"Do you know that Fusu has two sons?"
"Yes."
Zhang Ao heard that when Fusu went out, the second son fled, and later the second son was taken by Fusu's staff Dong Gong to hide the people, and the eldest son was captured back to Xianyang, and was put to Qiongdu in Shu County by Qin Shi Huang.
After Emperor II succeeded to the throne, he continued to hunt for the second son of Fusu.
In the autumn, the second son was captured in Hanzhong County, Dong Gong was divided into five horses, and Fusu's son, who was only four years old, was also strangled to death by Hu Hailing Yan Le, and was put into the burial pit of Lishan Mausoleum.
And Yan Le, who presided over the matter, was promoted to the rank of young eunuch of the Shaofu.
As for the eldest son of Fusu, he should have died and buried together, but a rebellion broke out in Shu County, and the matter was not brought back, so the matter was over.
"Do you know that Heifu also has two sons?" Yan Le said again.
Zhang Ao bowed: "When Fusu left Xianyang, Heifu's wife also took the opportunity to run away with his second son, and the villain was ordered by Lang Zhong to chase after him, but the thief woman was cunning, Zhang Ao was incompetent, and he didn't catch ......."
For this reason, Zhang Aoke was severely punished by Zhao Gao and was whipped.
"Now, your chance to redeem your merits has come." Yan Le smiled:
"Someone has secretly reported that Heifu's eldest son, Wei Po, is hiding at the foot of Helan Mountain, so you go and arrest him! Remember, be alive! β

PS: Came back late with only one chapter.
In addition, I recommend a new history book: "Han Guan"
A high-achieving student of the Department of History in the 21st century, his soul pierced Yuankang for eight years, on the eve of the Eight Kings Rebellion.
No rings, no systems, no gold fingers.
Fortunately, there is a soft and easy-to-push Lori sister at home, and her own quality is passable.
Thereupon...
Wang Sheng kicked the Sima clan of the Chaochao Dynasty, boxed the Wuhu barbarians, and built a prosperous era belonging to the Han people.
