Chapter 22 The Worship of All Nations

The invading bandits were resolved, and only the black and oppressive people were left on the vast school field. Zhang Han looked at the more and more civilians gathered, and couldn't help but feel full of emotion in his heart, the originally extremely critical situation was reversed, and the biggest contributor to all this was the people of Xianyang.

Although the power of a single person is insignificant, when assembled, it is a force that can move mountains and reclaim the sea. Their combat effectiveness may not be as good as that of regular armies, or even bandits, but with a huge base, even the most elite army is doomed to be invincible.

Seriously, he had never thought of this scene before, he didn't expect that at the most critical moment, it was the people of Xianyang who hated him so much that saved him.

If it weren't for Zhang Han's new decree allowing villages to be privately armed and hoarding food for relief to the people, the bandits would not have ventured to attack Xianyang;

But on the other hand, if it weren't for Zhang Han's actions to benefit the people, how many people would be standing here today and coming to help Zhang Han? Today's desperate allegiance of the people of Xianyang also shows that Zhang Han's efforts have achieved the desired effect.

Shi Cheng's face was also full of incredulity, he had followed Zhang Han for many years, and naturally knew that the Qin people hated Zhang Han, but today's scene really reversed his impression and moved him to tears.

He still remembered that day, when Zhang Han summoned himself and Zhang Ping and was the first to propose to change the impression in the minds of the Qin people, he scoffed at this idea in his heart.

But at this moment, Shi Cheng couldn't help but admire King Yong's vision, if there was no previous full effort to maintain law and order, and there was no daily relief for the victims, how could there be so many people working for Zhang Han today?

The hearts of the people have a scale, and the lies of the rulers can only deceive for a while. Only if you truly love the people like a son and truly put yourself in the shoes of the people, will the people hold you on their heads.

Not only Shi Cheng, but the same shock also happened in the hearts of Han Tan and Ying Ying.

Looking at the excited people, a wry smile appeared on Ying Ying's face, and she muttered to Han Tan: "Grandpa Han, you always say that Daqin's qi is exhausted, and I finally know now why Daqin died......

Then she turned her curious gaze to Zhang Han, although she and Zhang Han have only been together for a few days, but looking at this man's performance in the past few days, it is completely different from what she heard before.

Ying Ying's beautiful big eyes were full of expectation, what kind of person is this so-called last pillar of Daqin?

"Your Majesty, come forward and say a few words." Shi Cheng came to Zhang Han, who was thinking out of his mind, and whispered in his ear.

Zhang Han woke up from his emotion at this time, raised his eyes and looked around, only to see that the vast court academy was full of people standing at this moment, and there was a steady stream of people pouring in at the gate, and everyone's attention was on Zhang Han, waiting to hear what he said.

Zhang Han took a few steps forward, came to the steps in front of the main hall, and looked down at the crowd of black presses.

"Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, if it weren't for your sacrifice of your lives tonight, Zhang Han would have only been defeated, everyone's kindness, Zhang Han will remember it in his heart, and he will never dare to forget it!" As he spoke, Zhang Han bent down and bowed deeply to the crowd in front of him.

The crowd was still silent, countless eyes were staring at Zhang Han, and the oppressive atmosphere permeated every part of the school grounds.

"I was a Qin general in the era of the Zhang family, and Zhang Han also received the grace of the saint and was eager to make contributions and repay the trust of the first emperor. It's a pity that creation made people, and one wrong step was taken, and today it ended up in this step......"

“…… At the beginning, Zhang Han was ordered to go on the expedition, and the Qin fathers and elders rushed to say goodbye, hoping to return triumphantly as soon as possible; The 200,000 soldiers of the Three Qin Dynasty are gearing up to make contributions. However, in the first battle of Julu, Zhang Han's improper command led to the annihilation of the whole army, and hundreds of thousands of brothers were buried on the battlefield like this......"

“…… Since returning to Xianyang, Zhang Han knows that he is ashamed of his father and fellow villagers in Qindi, and he is actually a sinner in Qindi. In the midst of my heartache, I hope to restore stability and improve the lives of the people, so as to make up for the guilt in my heart......"

"Today's things are very dangerous, Zhang Han only has no skills to return to the sky, but he didn't expect everyone to repay their grievances with virtue, let go of their prejudices against Zhang Han, and fight with their lives to repay the palace, Zhang Han has nothing to repay, so he has to kneel down and apologize!"

While speaking, Zhang Han actually knelt down in front of the dense crowd!

Of course, in this era, the hierarchy was not as strict as in later generations, and everyone was originally kneeling, so it was also common to bow down and apologize, and there was a precedent for monarchs to worship Confucius.

But even so, a lonely prince and king knelt down to thank the commoners, which was unique at that time. Everyone didn't expect Zhang Han's move, and looking at the shame on his face, it seemed that he sincerely wanted to repent to the people.

The atmosphere of the audience was very depressing, and at this moment it was even more deathly silent, everyone was stunned by Zhang Han's sudden move, and there was no sound in the crowd, as if the wind had stopped.

Not only the people stood on the spot, but the other sergeants were also dumbfounded, Yongwang Zhang Han has led the troops for many years, although he is not ruthless, but it can be regarded as decisive, when will the soldiers see him with such a look.

In this silence, Zhang Han's movements still did not stop, his forehead touched the ground, his body fell to the ground, and he apologized with the highest etiquette.

Shi Cheng was the first to react, his eyes were quick, and he immediately fell to the ground, shouting: "The minister is willing to apologize to the people with the king!" ”

Seeing Shicheng's move, all the soldiers woke up like a dream, Zhang Ping and all the soldiers behind him did not have time to care, and fell to the ground in a hurry, grabbing the ground with their heads, expressing their willingness to apologize with Zhang Han.

In fact, when these soldiers heard Zhang Han's words just now, their hearts were already very touched. Most of them are also from Qin Chuan, and they were favored by Qin Ting, and at this point, they feel guilty about the people, and when they see Shi Cheng like this at this moment, everyone can't help but fall to the ground with Zhang Hanbai.

The people below the stairs were able to react at this time, and many people also began to kneel on the ground in panic, and after a while, the people on the school field knelt together.

"Take care, King!"

"Your Majesty, please get up!"

"The King's ......"

The shouts to persuade King Yong to get up rang out, and the people were also infected by this tragic atmosphere, and many people shed tears.

No one could have imagined that Zhang Han would apologize to the people in such a way, and many of the old people's children present had served under Zhang Han, and when they heard Zhang Han's words, their long-suppressed grief was finally vented.

Ying Ying pursed her lips and knelt down without saying a word, she wanted to apologize to the people for her father's unkindness.

All of a sudden, there was a kneeling in the incomparably wide mansion, no one got up, and no one was willing to get up, and the estrangement between Zhang Han and Qin Di's father seemed to have been reduced a lot in this kneeling.

After a long time, an old man on crutches took the lead in standing up, he came to Zhang Han step by step tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "The old man is the third elder of Xianyang's left and near the township, and he has the courage to say a few words with his age. Everyone has seen what the king has done during this period of time, otherwise why would so many people be willing to fight the bandits? The king sincerely apologized for his sins today, and I believe that everyone present felt the king's determination and asked the king to rise up and speak. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out a pair of dry hands to help Zhang Han, Zhang Han listened to his words, and no longer resisted, and stood up with the old man's hand.

Looking at the sea of people kneeling in front of him, Zhang Han's eyes showed a hint of emotion. Slowly, his face was no longer a relative, but with a smile. He stretched out his hands to the front and said aloud, "Everyone please get up!" ”

The sky darkened a little bit, the sun came to the end of the West Mountain, and everyone looked at Zhang Han who was high above, at this moment, his figure was bathed in the sunset, and there seemed to be a dusty atmosphere.

"Long live the King!" "Long live the King!"

I don't know who started first, and then Xianyang City sounded a tsunami-like shout, and King Yongwang Zhanghan won unprecedented support in Xianyang for the first time.
