Chapter 822: The First Emperor's Parade (Plus Asking for a Monthly Pass)
……
March Day, Shangsi Festival.
Now it is the thick spring season, the weather is also warm day by day, the people in Xianyang City and the countryside have already faded off the thick winter clothes and put on spring skirts, and even the little lady who loves beauty has put on a thin summer skirt, one by one with friends on both sides of the Wei River to enjoy the flowers, courtship songs also come and go.
Shangsi Festival, also known as Daughter's Day, is also the best time for boys and girls to have trysts with each other and talk about love.
However, Chen Xu no longer has time to fall in love with women.
Because on this day, the emperor led 500 Xuanwu guards, 3,000 guards and 5,000 lieutenants to go out of the east gate of Xianyang City to worship the god of spring and the god of the river, and then prepared to set off for the second tour of the southeast.
Facing the rising sun, the beautiful sunshine sprinkled all over the entire Guanzhong Plain, the mountains and rivers are picturesque, the river water is clear, thousands of forbidden troops are all black armor, bows, crossbows, swords, halberds are neatly hung outside the east gate until the Weihe Bridge several miles of defense of the water leakage, the forest of Changge facing the sun exudes a cold and fierce light, the warm river breeze blows under the dense banner whistling and rolling, the whole scene is solemn and solemn.
Hundreds of thousands of Xianyang people watched, the first emperor wore a black dragon robe, wore a crown of cupola, hung a sword at his waist, stepped on the Quartet and slowly climbed a grassy five-story altar on the bank of the river, surrounded by Xuanwu guards according to the sword guard, Tai Bu Zhan Ji Ji, Tai Zhu set up a few prisons, Tai Le commanded the drum music, Tai Shi was responsible for recording, Feng often read the sacrificial text, after a sacrifice ceremony that had not changed from previous years, the emperor personally burned incense and prayed to the sky, and then announced the completion of the spring sacrifice, All the accompanying princes and princes, civil and military officials, as well as many concubines and princesses in the harem, all went down to the river with slippers to wash their feet, and washed their hands and faces with river water, indicating that the spring cold is gone.
After the foot-washing ceremony, everyone put on their shoes and socks again, and after arranging their clothes, the emperor ascended to the throne of the Son of Heaven.
"I have been touring the southeast since today, Tongwu Hou, Li Xiang, Meng Qing, Young Master and other Aiqing have traveled with me, Feng Xiang is in charge of the government, and the princes of Fusu, Kun, Gao, and Jiang Lu have assisted Feng Xiang in managing the government and learned to deal with the government affairs ......of the court."
"Wow~~"
As soon as the emperor said this, the whole scene was in an uproar, and the civil and military ministers all looked at the emperor with bewildered faces, including Li Si, Feng Quji, and Meng Yi.
Li Si, in particular, was blanked in his mind by the emperor's words.
"Hu Hai is here, this time I will go on patrol with me!" The emperor ignored the sluggishness and noise of hundreds of civil and military officials at the scene, but beckoned to his youngest son Hu Hai, who was standing with Fusu and a group of sons.
Hu Hai stood stupidly for a long time, his mouth open enough to stuff a big duck egg.
"The emperor is going!" Hu Hai's mother pushed her son out with joy and excitement, and Hu Hai staggered to the front of Qin Shi Huang's frame, stammered at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty...... Erchen ...... Erchen ......"
"The completion of the Oriental Road, this is an unprecedented event in my Great Qin, my tour is to inspect the southeastern counties, and at the same time to announce the determination of all the people in the world, I will definitely govern my Great Qin into a prosperous and rich country, you are my youngest son, this tour is to let you see my great rivers and mountains in China, feel the hearts of the people, and understand the people's feelings, so as to understand the way of the king's governance, Tongwu Hou, Li Xiang, Meng Qing, and the young master are all riding with me, Hu Hai followed by the car, out ~"
"Woo~~Woo~~~"
With the emperor's order, the trumpeters on both sides blew the horns, and the low sound spread far away like muffled thunder, and thousands of forbidden troops also began to move slowly, and a passage leading to the Weihe Bridge spread out on both sides.
In the spring and March of the 31st year of the First Emperor, the First Emperor began his second southeastern tour.
The mighty forbidden army, the vigorous horses, the long ge, the flying Daqin Dragon Banner hunted and hunted under the blowing of the river wind, facing the rising sun, and escorted hundreds of brand-new four-wheeled carriages out of Xianyang in the sound of horns one after another with neat steps, crossing the Weihe Bridge, crossing the Chang'an Palace, crossing the Le Youyuan, crossing the Bahe Bridge, and stretching for nearly 20 miles along the newly built cement road to the southeast.
Outside the east gate of Xianyang, hundreds of civil and military officials, princesses and princesses and tens of thousands of people followed each other, until they could no longer see the banner of the exhibition, and then slowly turned back, and the rising sun in the sky, there was still a faint sound of horses' hooves like thunder and the sound of horns that continued to sound.
The emperor's departure is bound to be smooth sailing, but what is left for Xianyang's civil and military officials and millions of people is extremely confused and incomprehensible.
Feng Quji, as the right minister of the six ministries, is responsible for taking charge of the government and maintaining the operation of Great Qin, and Fusu and several other sons who were hand-picked by the emperor to follow him to learn governance are all gathered around Feng Quji, and they all looked at Feng Quji in a daze.
"Right Minister, what should I do?" Fusu's face was slightly ashen, and he gave up his hand to Feng Quji.
The emperor went out on patrol and took Hu Hai away, which made him feel that the sky was falling, and the other princes were all confused and depressed.
"Since Your Majesty has arranged for your sons to follow the old man to learn how to deal with government affairs, please don't be slack and lazy, go to Shangshu tomorrow to save some errands, and don't delay for no reason!"
Feng Qu grabbed his gray beard and was silent for a long time, and then put his big sleeves on his carriage, and left alone regardless of the depressed expressions of a group of sons.
And watching Feng Qujian leave, the rest of the princes and officials also said goodbye to the princes and got into the car and returned to the city.
As soon as the emperor left, Feng Xiang was the greatest, no matter what kind of thoughts and arrangements the emperor had, they only needed Feng to go and take care of the court's government affairs.
"Brother, father, ......" Seeing that all the officials left one after another, a group of sons gathered around Fusu, and Gongzi Gao was at a loss to give his hand to Fusu.
"Second brother, don't ask more, it's not clear what my father thinks about my brother, and I ask you to listen to Feng Xiang's arrangement and go on a business trip on time tomorrow!"
Fusu didn't know how to reply, so he directly interrupted Gongzigao's words and pedaled away, and a group of children had to get into the car after looking at each other.
The emperor went out on patrol, and the world shook.
Daqin Metropolis Daily was busy, and a new special issue was released overnight, and tens of thousands of copies were printed in a few days, and it was quickly spread to the world through newspaper merchants and business travelers.
Countless kings, grandsons, nobles and hundreds of disciples of the Six Kingdoms scattered folk all gathered together to exchange and discuss, either openly or secretly.
Among them, there is not only speculation about the emperor's sudden arrangement of adult sons to follow Feng Quji to learn to deal with government affairs, but also more about the incomprehension of the emperor taking his young son Hu Hai on a parade alone, and naturally there are ill-intentioned people secretly planning to attack and assassinate, but after the first emperor toured the southeast three years ago and suffered two assassination failures in Wancheng and Daliang, many ill-intentioned people are also at a loss and timid.
And because there is a special person who accompanied the emperor on this parade...... Qinghe Hou Chen Xu.
Three years ago, Chu Shang Ran Xuan hundreds of people attacked the expedition at night, but the emperor had already been secretly reminded by the Marquis of Qinghe, so the night attack of Ran Xuan failed, and hundreds of people were slaughtered, and then Bolangsha had Korean assassins arrange for the Hercules of the State of Qianguo to ambush the first emperor, but the emperor also went to the Qinghe Marquis in advance to warn and the assassination failed.
Although these two events are secret, they have been rumored for several years.
Qinghe Hou is a disciple of the immortal family, and he can know everything in the world with a finger pinch, and no ghost can escape the eyes of Qinghe Hou.
With the Marquis of Qinghe by his side, even if the nobles of the Six Kingdoms were determined to ambush the emperor, they all felt that there was no hope, so the news spread to the world, but no one dared to make another move.
A flat cement road, winding between the mountains, thousands of black and oppressive troops marched around, scouts for 30 miles before and after the sentry to explore the road conditions, along the way the counties, towns and villages are all soldiers are under martial law, where the emperor's procession passes, the caravan people from the south to the north all stop their chariots and horses on the roadside and bow down, and the local officials and famous squires line up on the roadside to greet them.
The parade is mighty, the day is not more than 100 miles, whenever the road passes through the prosperous township, the emperor must temporarily stay to meet the local villagers, and passing through the county seat, he must go down to watch the facilities and construction of the service station, ask the business travelers about the service station's views, and accept the local officials to report on government affairs.
The construction of Dongfang Road was successful, and Chen Xu also went out for the first time, so he was naturally very concerned about the construction and operation of Dongfang Road, not only carefully checking and inquiring about the overall construction quality of Dongfang Road along the way, but also interested in communicating with the contractor to discuss the various service facilities of the service station, including the supporting situation of all ancillary facilities such as foot houses, food houses, commercial houses, police stations, maintenance stations, etc.
The accompanying officials, including Li Si, Wang Ben, Meng Yi and dozens of other officials, are also full of strong interest in this newly built cement road...... Comfortable.
The road is flat without the slightest unevenness, the four-wheeled carriage is also very smooth, and the axle is equipped with steel bearings to operate flexibly, so sitting on the carriage does not feel the bumps and fatigue of the past, and the most important thing is that no matter how big or small the ditch is assumed, the flat cement bridge is assumed, and there is no longer the fatigue of trekking through mountains and rivers and changing boats.
Because it was the first time to experience this kind of concrete road, the parade team walked very slowly, from Xianyang to Weinan, the distance was only 200 miles, but it stopped and walked for four days, and the daily journey was only 50 miles.
Because of the interest in the service station, the emperor ordered to set up a line on the side of the Weinan service station, and led the officials and officials of Weinan to inspect the service station for a whole day, observing the operation of the business travel and service station from the south to the north, and the business travel from the south to the north was also very excited and excited, many merchants offered rare treasures to make the emperor happy to close his mouth, a happy and stopped for another day, and on the third day, under the continuous persuasion of Chen Xu and a group of officials, he was reluctant to set off from the camp.
Weinan to Huayin is only a hundred miles away, and it is two days to stop and go.
And after arriving in Huayin, because of the splendid spring mood and comfortable mood, the emperor led the accompanying officials to climb Huashan to worship, arranged craftsmen to cut the stone and set up the stele, Li Si wrote a pen and wrote a sacrificial text of praise and virtue engraved on the stone stele, and in order to show the prestige, the emperor ordered the local officials to recruit prisoners and craftsmen to build Xiyue Temple, in order to show respect for Huashan.
Standing on the Chaoyang Peak on the east side of Huashan Mountain, overlooking the rivers and mountains under the mountain and the winding ribbon-like Oriental Road, although the emperor looked a little embarrassed with his clothes scattered and sweating, but his mood was extremely comfortable, pointing to the rolling majestic mountains and the vast mountains and rivers and smiling: "You Aiqing, the Yellow Emperor and the two emperors of Yao Shun have been enshrined in Xiyue, but they are not as majestic as I am today, the five mountains are now in the territory of Daqin, so the mountains and rivers are beautiful and beautiful, how can they not be known to the world, pass on my edict, Order the officials of Huayin County to arrange for craftsmen to dig a stone road leading to the peaks of Huashan Mountain, and link it with a hook, and the next time I go on a tour again, I will inevitably climb the main peaks in the north and south......"
Chen Xu and the accompanying officials all smiled bitterly and frowned.
Mount Hua is the most precipitous mountain range in China, the peaks are numerous, there are cliffs everywhere, even if two thousand years later, the chain of steps on Mount Hua is complete, but it is still the most difficult tourist attraction for tourists to climb, especially Canglong Ridge and Luoyan Peak, thousands of cliffs on both sides, if there is not great courage and perseverance, you can never climb up.
And today, in order to climb this Chaoyang Peak, not only did thousands of local people and convicts be used to cut down trees to open the way, but even thousands of forbidden troops carried ropes to set up rope ladders, and in the end, almost hundreds of Xuanwu guards carried the emperor on his back.
Therefore, according to the emperor's increasingly blessed physique and physical state, I am afraid that he will not be able to climb up in this life.
But the emperor said that he wanted to build roads, and naturally all officials could only agree silently.
In short, judging from the current state, the emperor must be very happy with this trip, and there is no need to interrupt the emperor's interest.
As for the matter of straining the people, there is no way to do it, the first emperor did not do it, and there will be many emperors to do it in the future.
What's more, the First Emperor's bloodline has the factor of infrastructure madness, and he has done everything he wants to do in his life...... Except for immortality.
After staying in Huashan for five days, the parade set off again, and two days later passed through Lingbao and sent a letter to Guguan, officially entering the Central Plains.
The next process was no different from the previous parade, and every time he arrived at a county seat, the emperor would inevitably set up a line to inspect the service station, meet with the merchants and local officials and celebrities who traveled to and from Dongfang Road, and when he arrived in Luoyang, it was already twenty days after the departure from Xianyang.
Luoyang is the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty, where the farmland is fertile and prosperous, and the merchants are active after the lifting of the ban on commercial laws, so the city of Luoyang is as lively as Xianyang, with more than 200,000 households and more than 600,000 people, and it is definitely the premier super city in the Central Plains.
And because Luoyang and Xianyang are the two most recent megacities, so many things are almost in a shared state, Xianyang published newspapers and books can be delivered in three days at most, many new things appear in Luoyang City within ten years at most, from buses to Keju competitions, from food to clothing, Luoyang people are firmly following the pace of Xianyang in catching up with the latest trend, so after arriving in Xianyang, whether it is the emperor or Chen Xu and a group of officials, they all find that Luoyang is simply a copy of XianyangFood, clothing, housing, entertainment and play are almost the same, and the business is more developed, the merchants of the east, west, north and south are gathered in Luoyang, and all kinds of new commercial houses on the street are next to each other, which is countless times more prosperous than Xianyang three years ago.
The Son of Heaven came, the officials and people of Luoyang were extremely enthusiastic, thousands of people flocked to the emperor every day to meet the emperor, celebrities from all walks of life offered books and articles and rare treasures to please the emperor, under the great joy of the dragon's heart, the first emperor was stationed in Luoyang and was reluctant to go.
He has never seen this kind of pilgrimage of the people, which fully satisfies the emperor's thoughts and ideas of touring the world to show his virtue, and the reporters of the Xianyang Metropolis Daily who followed him are also busy every day, recording the emperor's daily meeting with the people and inspecting the Dongfang Road, and then adding oil and vinegar to write a special article on the emperor's parade, which is continuously sent to the Xianyang newspaper hall through the post station of 400 miles, and the emperor's parade can be transmitted to the world through the new issue of the newspaper in six or seven days at most.
Chen Xu and Li Simengyi and a group of officials who accompanied the inspection were also happy, eating, drinking and having fun with the emperor every day, and slowly touring the mountains and rivers at the turn of this spring and summer. (https:)
