Chapter 67: The Imperial Meeting
At the turn of January, the grass and trees in the Qinchuan plain were yellow. Heavy snow fell from the sky, and overnight, the whole world was white.
It was as if the heavens were furious, and the endless snow was pouring in, wanting to bury the killings, blood, corpses, gunsmoke, crimes, and conspiracies on the land of the Central Plains.
Destroy everything and give heaven and earth a new beginning!
β¦β¦
The Great Qin Empire is headed by the age of ten, at this time, the winter snow is beginning to fall, and the entire Guanzhong is still vaguely a little New Year's flavor, but it is more of the sadness of the father and brother who died on the battlefield.
At this time, the entire Great Qin Empire was filled with a sense of sadness and despair.
The majestic Great Qin collapsed almost overnight. The mighty Kwantung Thief Army naturally filled Guanzhong with uneasiness and apprehension.
Since the war began with Shangjun, it has not occurred in the land of Shengguan, and now that the war has come, it is inevitable that there will be some panic.
β¦β¦
In this vast snowfall, the Great Qin Empire is going to hold a grand court meeting. This is the second time that a court meeting has been held since Hu Hai killed Zhao Gao, and it has a far-reaching meaning.
The Great Dynasty Meeting was held at this time, for only one reason, the confrontation outside Hangu Pass was still the same, Liu Ji's army still occupied Wuguan, and the Great Qin Empire remained unchanged.
β¦β¦
In the autumn of last year, Hu Hai killed Zhao Gao, and in one fell swoop, Zhao Gao and his party subdued the law, and the second emperor was completely pro-government, and the news spread, and the government and the opposition were jubilant.
Since the first emperor, the old Qin people did not exclude their courtiers from holding high positions to govern the country and the people. However, Zhao Gao usurped power, openly killed the children of the royal family, and gave death to a meritorious general.
Naturally, there is an awkward heart, and the people are speechless, but their hearts are clear. In the hearts of the old Qin people, the emperor of the Great Qin Empire can only be surnamed Ying.
It can only be Ying's!
Now that Zhao Gao's party is gone, the Great Qin Empire is suddenly relieved. If it weren't for the fragmentation of the empire and the arrogance of the Kwantung thief army, Great Qin would stop at Hangu Pass.
I am afraid that the old Qin people will immediately carnival and celebrate, and then the Qinchuan society will be in full swing, and the world will be turned upside down.
β¦β¦
In the vast snow, Hu Hai led hundreds of civil and military officials and meritorious ministers to go out to the suburbs to worship the heavens, and then returned to the Taimiao to worship the ancestors, and reported to the ancestors of the heavens about the current situation of the Qin State and the plan to recast the Great Qin.
In the afternoon, seventy or eighty ministers gathered neatly in the main hall of Xianyang Palace, and the charcoal fire was booming, which made the civil and military ministers who had just finished worshiping the heavens and ancestors feel a trace of warmth.
For the first time, Hu Hai wore a full crown, wore a black silk flat heavenly crown, and wore a three-foot Zhenqin sword, and solemnly ascended the Central Emperor's throne.
"See Your Majesty!" Seventy or eighty ministers in the hall stood neatly and solemnly, and bowed in unison.
"The ministers are seated." Hu Hai waved his big sleeves and sat down in front of the emperor's case, and involuntarily glanced left and right, and his heart suddenly felt heavy.
On the broad imperial platform, only a nine-foot case stood majestically in the center, and all the ministers were under the nine-step white jade ladder.
At this moment, Hu Hai has no monstrous pride in his heart, only infinite sorrow. He still remembers that in the time of the first emperor, a court meeting was held, and the main hall of Xianyang Palace was full, with more than 200 civil and military officials.
Now there are only seventy or eighty left, but most of them are white-haired old men and weak crown descendants. The only names he can really call are Ying Heng, Ziying, and Zhang Cang.
It was difficult to understand his thoughts, and Hu Hai swept the large hall with rows of seats at a glance, as if sweeping the heavy and vast land of Great Qin. His heart suddenly swelled up with an indescribable grief that he had never felt before.
In an instant, Hu Hai almost cried!
The vacant position, like a lost land, fell in Hu Hai's eyes, it was so dazzling, it made his heart throb faintly.
"The ministers are seated, Your Majesty has a meetingβ" The Minister of Ceremonies shouted, and the hall was suddenly solemn.
The announcement of the minister of ceremonies suddenly made Hu Hai sober up, coughed, and said: "Ministers, Hangu Pass is a great victory, and Yuguan is a big victory. The stormy trend of the Great Qin Empire is tentative. β
"I am pro-govern the country, but it has to be like this, relying on the heavens to bless Daqin, the first emperor entrusted his dream to me, and then passed the martial arts to wait for Wang Ben to be born."
"The first war settled the country and clarified the overall situation. Now outside Hangu Pass, Xiang Yu's hundreds of thousands of troops are eyeing each other. In the Wuguan, Liu Ji's tens of thousands of troops were horizontal. β
"Although Daqin has no ups and downs, the existential crisis is still there. Today's court meeting, it must be agreed that the Great Qin Empire will solve the current predicament, based on the great strategy of Guanzhong, and Zhang Cang, the guard of the Hangu Guard, has an initial plan, and the court will decide after the statement! β
"Yes!"
As soon as the hall was raised, the main hall of Xianyang Palace was silent, and even the sound of breathing could not be heard. Hu Hai's voice fell, and his eyes fell on Zhang Cang.
"Your Majesty, list as a minister!"
Zhang Cang stood up from his seat and calmly bowed his hand, and his voice immediately echoed in the main hall: "Now Hangu Pass is in the hands of our army, as long as Hangu Pass is not lost, there will be a guarantee." β
"The 50,000 army led by Youxi in Yaoguan, for a while, Liu Ji's Chu army was powerless. In a short period of time, Guanzhong is as stable as Mount Tai and solid as gold. β
This means that the direct threat from the capital Xianyang has been lifted, and the imperial court and the Guanzhong region have temporarily stabilized. In addition, His Majesty removed Zhao Gao and issued an edict for his own crimes. β
"The hearts of the people, the hearts of the army, and the hearts of meritorious deeds are determined, as long as the deployment is appropriate, the Great Qin Empire will also be able to gain a foothold in Guanzhong!"
At the same time, he changed his strategy from putting all his might into suppressing rebellions and stabilizing the empire. It was changed to temporarily abandon the land east of Hangu Pass, and rewarded the world's heroes in the name of His Majesty. β
"At the same time, new military arrangements were made: First, the whole country entered a wartime system and implemented general military mobilization. Second, with Tongwu Hou Wang Ben as the commander of the army, the prime minister suppressed all military affairs of the rebellion. β
"Third, Your Majesty sits in Xianyang and Zuo and other ministers, rebuilds the imperial court, stabilizes Guanzhong, and stabilizes the people."
"Fourth, strengthen the armed defense of the Guanzhong region, urgently recruit 150,000 soldiers, 100,000 in Bashu, and 50,000 in Xianyang."
"Fifth, rebuild the Lantian camp, responsible for training and training recruits, and prepare for the next reconquest of the empire."
"Fourth, the southern army stationed in Lingnan will be transferred internally to cooperate with the Marquis of Tongwu to suppress the rebellion. At the same time, it weakens Zhao Tuo's strength to avoid posing a threat to the empire. β
After a pause, Zhang Cang raised his voice and said, "Right now, the confrontation between Great Qin and the Kwantung Thief Army is a foregone conclusion. Now Daqin is tired and weak, the temple has no long-term strategy, the army has no victory, the courtiers have no spirit to forge ahead, the common people have no cohesion, and the strong Daqin is gradually disrupting! β
"If there is no power of the first emperor, it will be intimidating to the world. There is no Longjun who was ordered to retreat Zhou Wen in the water, Nanyang captured Song Liu, Chen Jun killed Chen Sheng, Linji beheaded Tian Dan, and Dingtao killed Xiang Liang, I am afraid that the Great Qin Empire will have the humiliation of filial piety! β
"At this time, the Great Qin Empire has become the target of the public, the external weakness and the middle force, if you don't think about cheering up, the Great Qin Empire will definitely be difficult and seven temples, dead people, laughing and talking for the world!"
