Chapter 106: Spring Ploughing Ceremony
In early spring and February, the weather is warm and cold.
β¦β¦
On the third watch, Hu Hai, who couldn't sleep, stood in the main hall of Xianyang Palace and shivered.
Hu Hai looked at the endless night sky and let out a long sigh: "Everything has passed, and after a long time, I have finally gained a firm foothold!" β
Hu Hai knew that Xiang Yu divided the kings, and after the establishment of the kingdoms, there would be a period of peace in the world. However, this peace did not last long before it was broken by the Qi State.
There is not much time left for him, for the Great Qin Empire. He must formulate a long-term strategy for the development of the Great Qin Empire during this time.
Only in this way can we be qualified to participate in the next war of nations. The war of the nations is a war of annexation in which the big fish eat the small fish and the small fish eat the shrimp.
Only by participating in it can the Great Qin Empire rise faster!
β¦β¦
"Your Majesty, the cultivation ceremony is ready, please move to the rooftop!" Han Tan's voice was respectful, Hu Hai Huoran got up and said, "Hurry up!" β
"Yes!"
Hu Hai knew that the great cultivation ceremony had been valued by all countries since ancient times, and even the first emperor did not dare to slack off. For the Great Qin Empire, this time the cultivation ceremony will be a new life.
At this moment, the Chinese people in Xianyang City almost rushed towards the sacrificial platform on the south bank of Weishui. The emperor's chariot drove across the white jade bridge of the moat and stopped in front of the sacrificial platform on the south bank of Weishui.
Around the altar, thousands of old Qin people, helping the old and the young to watch the grand opening ceremony.
β¦β¦
Hu Hai stayed awake all night, and after bathing in the crown belt, at the beginning of the red sun, the group arrived at the altar of the sacrifice.
β¦β¦
At this moment, the altar was surrounded by a sea of people. The civil and military officials of the Great Qin Empire were all on the steps, and the Qin army armor soldiers were holding Changge, which was majestic and solemn.
"Your Majesty has arrivedβ" Han Tan, who was accompanying him, took two steps forward and shouted, "The bells and drums are ringing in unisonββ! β
"Woo, woo, woo......"
"Knock, knock, knock......"
β¦β¦
Under the watchful eye of all people, Hu Hai stepped up and walked towards the altar.
"Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! The surrounding armor soldiers chanted, the civil and military officials of the Great Qin Empire echoed, and the old Qin people in Xianyang raised their arms.
For a time, Long live Your Majesty rose in an uproar. With the footsteps of Hu Hai, it shook the entire south bank of Weishui.
The flag of the sacrificial platform covers the sky, swept with the wind, the wind is mighty, and an awe-inspiring atmosphere rises in the sky. The moment Hu Hai stepped on the sacrificial platform, the civil and military forces of the Qin State bowed deeply.
Hu Hai waved his hand, turned around and looked at the vast sea of people. At the same time, Zuo Xiangzi stepped forward and shouted: "The Great Cultivation Ceremony, Your Majesty sues the sky!" β
After Han Tan held the bamboo slips of the ploughing ceremony, Hu Hai opened the red thread knot, unfolded the bamboo slips and said loudly: "The sky is in the sky, Fu Wei tells it." β
"The Great Qin Empire suffered a great disaster, and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong revived. So much so that the mountains and rivers of Daqin were shattered, and countless old Qin people died in battle. β
"Lai Tongwu waited for the fierce battle at Hangu Pass, the soldiers of the three armies fought hard, and thousands of old Qin people were not afraid of life and death. The homeland of Guanzhong, which I have just guarded, is difficult for the Great Qin Empire to come, and it is the first time to start farming, and the ceremony is in full swing. β
"God bless, the Great Qin Empire, the wind and rain are smooth, the country is rich and the people are strong, I swear here: Qin does not guard the pass, and swears to go east!"
β¦β¦
"Qin doesn't guard the pass, and swears to go east!" The surrounding armor soldiers chanted, the civil and military officials of the Great Qin Empire echoed the voice, and the old Qin people in Xianyang raised their arms, and the momentum was huge.
Zuo Xiangziying shouted again: "Your Majesty ploughs and ploughs!" β
At this moment, Tingwei Zhang Cang bowed deeply and raised the wooden plough high with both hands. Hu Hai took the wooden plough with his left hand and pointed to the sky with the plow. Once again, there was a loud sound around the altar.
"The wind and rain are smooth, the country is rich and the people are strong!"
β¦β¦
Immediately afterwards, Zuo Xiangziying walked out again and shouted loudly: "Please Your Majesty reward the ploughing cattle and inspect the cultivation of hundreds of households." β
Hu Hai personally hung the red silk thread on the horns of the ox, walked down the sacrificial roof, inspected the cultivation of hundreds of old Qin people, and finally re-ascended the sacrificial roof.
Zuo Xiangziying shouted again: "Please Your Majesty, confer the title of meritorious farmer who worked hard in the early years!" β
Hu Hai opened the bamboo slip, said loudly, and said: "Ziting Weifu verified and investigated, Guan Zhongshan clan, diligent farming, superior to the countrymen, give the knight a first!" β
A majestic Guanzhong man ascended the altar and bowed deeply to Hu Hai: "Shanjia thank Your Majesty!" β
β¦β¦
From the red sun rising in the east, it has been running non-stop until the sun sets, and it has come to an end.
The emperor's chariot with a huge bronze umbrella cover returned to the city, and Hu Hai sat upright and bowed his hand solemnly to the old Qin people in Xianyang, which was a great gift to the people.
"Long live Great Qin, long live Your Majestyββ!" The huge cheers suddenly filled the four fields, and at this moment, Hu Hai burst into tears.
This is the people of the Great Qin Empire, they are simple, simple, as long as the emperor of the Great Qin Empire is still alive, they will go forward and succeed, fearless.
Even if Hu Hai is notorious, he is still so respected. The feeling at this moment shocked Hu Hai's heart, the Great Qin Empire is a simple and kind empire.
As long as the emperor has an order, the old Qin people will be fearless of death and shed the last drop of blood for the Great Qin Empire.
β¦β¦
"Your Majesty, Xianyang Palace has arrived!" Han Tan jumped out of the car first, bowed deeply, and said.
Jumping out of the emperor's car, Hu Hai's eyes flashed with a gleam, and said: "Han Tan, send an order to the government and the opposition, tomorrow morning, hold a New Year court!" β
"Yes!"
β¦β¦
At today's ploughing ceremony, Hu Hai felt the enthusiasm of the old Qin people, which made him feel a strong impact on his heart. With such subjects, even if there is only one county, Great Qin can be reforged.
What's more, at this moment, Daqin is sitting on the eight counties of Guanzhong, and there are even Bashu granaries to defend it. This moment was the time when Hu Hai was most confident in recasting Great Qin since he came to the Great Qin Empire.
It's just that he also knows that this time is the most difficult time for the Great Qin Empire, and it is also the time to test him the most.
It is an indisputable fact that the Great Qin Empire withered in civil and military affairs. At this moment, the Kwantung countries are hostile to Great Qin and are not allowed to go east, which is also a fact.
No matter what one thing it is, it is an imminent matter in front of Hu Hai.
β¦β¦
In his heart, Hu Hai was in the bedroom of Xianyang Palace, and it was already the time to hold the lamp. Hu Hai didn't care about being hungry, and hurriedly opened the bamboo slips on the long case, which was usually needed for the news of tomorrow's court.
Hu Hai knew that from this moment on, he had to learn to control the half-crippled horse of the Great Qin Empire. After turning over the bamboo slips on the long case, Hu Hai still didn't know the essentials.
For a while, Shen Yin pondered and did not speak, and the entire dormitory was silent. Han Tan is a meticulous and meticulous old chamberlain, seeing that Hu Hai does not eat, drink or sleep, he stops talking.
"Han Tan, you can say whatever you want directly, you don't have to be restrained in front of me!" Sensing that Han Tan wanted to speak and stopped, Hu Hai waved his hand and said.
"Your Majesty, I didn't sleep all night last night, and today I am tired all day. In the long run, I am afraid it will not be a good thing! Han Tan bowed deeply and said, "Now the Great Qin Empire is all supported by His Majesty's strength, once Your Majesty falls, the Great Qin Empire will definitely collapse!" β
