Chapter 271: Canonization of the Imperial Concubine
August 29 of the first year of Great Qin II.
Early in the morning, with the rising sun, the long and desolate horn suddenly came out from the Xianyang Palace, resounding throughout the world and breaking the quiet Xianyang morning.
With the sound of this horn, the originally quiet Xianyang began to become noisy.
With the sound of horns that resounded through the heavens and the earth, groups of forbidden troops from all over the palace gates of Xianyang Palace drove out and scattered in front of the Xianyang Palace Square, and a forbidden army would stop and stand every few steps around the huge Xianyang Palace Square.
In the south of the city, the gates of the giant mansions opened one after another at the moment when the horn sounded. Officials and courtiers at all levels in Daqin, who had been preparing since last night, dressed up one after another, or rode by car or horseback, and gathered towards the main hall of Xianyang Palace.
The desolate and long sound of the horn sounded for a long time before it gradually stopped, and only the sound of the horn lingered.
The horn stopped, and the north and west of the city were inhabited by many ordinary Xianyang people. Countless Xianyang people began to open their doors one after another and converged towards Xianyang Palace Square.
Today, it is His Majesty the Second Emperor of Great Qin who canonized the two noble concubines.
And after more than ten days, it will be the time for His Majesty the Emperor to carry out the post-canonization ceremony.
As early as two days ago, the edict that His Majesty the Emperor would canonize the two noble concubines has been spread by the soldiers of the Lieutenant's Mansion all over the streets and alleys of Xianyang City. can let the emperor hold a special canonization ceremony before the canonization ceremony, and His Majesty the Emperor's favor for the two noble concubines who are about to be canonized can be seen.
Although many people still don't know what the concubine represents in the emperor's harem and what kind of status she has.
However, everything will be revealed in today's canonization.
Regarding the identities of the two canonized mothers, the courtiers of Great Qin can be said to know everything. It's just that ordinary people obviously get a lot of news, so it can be said that there are different opinions.
But no matter how you guess, the people of Xianyang can only be happy from the bottom of their hearts when the emperor canonized the two mothers. After all, although the Great Qin Emperor is young, it has been three years since he got married, and he is about to ascend the throne for a year, but he still hasn't given birth to any bloodline, how can he not make those old Qin people who regard Great Qin as the only belief in their hearts feel anxious?
The more concubines in the emperor's harem, the more opportunities there are for the emperor's heirs to be born early. Even many Xianyang people think that the emperor only canonizes two noble concubines is too little, and they wish that the emperor could canonize ten or eight at the same time.
In this way, I am afraid that in a few months, the emperor will be born with blood.
As for what the people of Xianyang thought in their hearts, Hu Hai naturally didn't know. At this moment, he is summoning his future father-in-law and eldest brother in the emperor's study.
Yu Tong was picked up by Long Wei to Xianyang five days ago.
When dozens of dragon guards appeared in front of Yu Tong, Yu Tong was angry and worried about the two unfilial sons and daughters who did not say goodbye. The anger is naturally because Yu Ji and Yu Ziqi's brother and sister sneaked away without saying a word; Worried, naturally, is worried about what kind of mistake the two children have in today's troubled times.
In just one month, Yu Tong seemed to be more than ten years old. He was just in his forties, and his hair was gray.
The descendants of the Yu family now only have Yu Tong, Yu Zi Qi and Yu Ji left. The rest of the Yu clan did not have the slightest respect for the nominal patriarch of the Yu clan, let alone obey the patriarch's orders.
If it weren't for the fact that Xiang Yu, the young master of the Xiang clan, fell in love with Yu Tong's daughter Yu Ji, I am afraid that Yu Tong's life would be even more difficult. Even so, when Yu Ji did not marry Xiang Yu, the rest of the Yu clan also did not buy Yu Tong's account.
Therefore, many Yu clan people who wanted to hug the thighs of the Xiang clan and had some casting methods left Xiapi City and ran to Wuzhong or Shouchun to cast weapons for the Xiang clan.
Yu Tong disappeared silently in Xiapi, and was not discovered until the people sent by Xiang Yu came to Xiapi to look for Yu.
For the dozens of strong men in black robes who suddenly appeared in the mansion, Yu Tong did not resist, although he didn't know where these people came from, but obviously not an old man who didn't know any martial arts could resist, not to mention that judging from the performance of those black-clothed men, it didn't look like a malicious person, and after his son and daughter left, Yu Tong was already loveless, and at the same time, he also wanted to know what he had to be an old man worth kidnapping.
Therefore, when Long Wei asked Yu Tong to follow him to leave Xiapi, Yu Tong was unusually cooperative.
Long Wei obeyed Hu Hai's instructions, although he respected Yu Tong very much, and did not have any out-of-character behavior, usually chatting with Yu Tong, chatting or chatting, as long as Yu Tong asked something, Long Wei would immediately stop talking, and did not tell any news about Yu Ziqi's brothers and sisters, until the carriage passed Hangu Pass and headed towards Xianyang, Yu Tong gradually found out that something was wrong.
Could it be that Da Qin found out that his Yu clan helped the Xiang clan and the Chu State to build weapons, so he did not hesitate to detain himself to Xianyang to be executed?
When he saw Yu Ziqi and Yu Ji's brothers and sisters waiting on the side of the road outside Xianyang City, Yu Tong, who had been nervous, suddenly stood on the spot.
Fortunately, Hu Hai didn't appear, he was worried that Yu Tong would not be able to stand the stimulation and die directly! What kind of glory should it be to be greeted by Emperor Daqin in person? Even if Yu Tong is about to become Hu Hai's father-in-law, he does not have that qualification.
Next, everything that happened to Yu Ziqi and Yu Ji's brothers and sisters when they left Xiapi was naturally told by their brothers and sisters themselves. After the initial shock, Yu Tong gradually regained his calm, and then the whole person was filled with great ecstasy, and after three days, Yu Tong returned to normal and accepted the fact that his daughter was about to become the concubine of His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor, and she was also a concubine.
After the ecstasy, Yu Tong was extremely happy. looked at Yu Ziqi's unscrupulous son's gaze also softened a lot.
If it weren't for Yu Zi's runaway, how could Yu Ji meet His Majesty the Second Emperor of Great Qin? If she hadn't met His Majesty the Second Emperor of Great Qin, then Yu Ji's only result seemed to be to marry Xiang Yu.
And the result of Yu Ji marrying Xiang Yu, judging from Xianyang's observation in the past few days, Yu Tong has clearly understood that there is only one. That is, the entire Yu clan followed the Xiang clan and the newly established Chu State to ashes.
It's just that now, with Yu Ji, who is about to become the only two noble concubines in Great Qin, the Yu family will not only not be wiped out, but will also usher in a real soaring prosperity.
The Yu clan will regain the glory of the past in their own hands, and even far exceed the glory of the past at its peak, how can Yu Tong not be overjoyed.
Today is the first time that Weng and his son-in-law have met.
In the huge emperor's study, there are only three people: Hu Hai, Yu Tong and Yu Ziqi. Even if Hu Hai deliberately made himself seem approachable, Yu Tong was still trembling and walking on thin ice, which made Hu Hai so boring.
But Hu Hai knew he had to adapt.
Because, he is His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin.
"Your Majesty, all the adults have gathered, please change your clothes!" There was a soft voice from the door.
"Well, you come and change my clothes, Long Jiao, you take Master Yue-in-law and Brother Yu to the main hall." Hu Hai said lightly.
"Whoa!"
……
"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!" The originally noisy Xianyang Palace Square gradually quieted down with the chorus of Wang Yan and more than a dozen eunuchs.
Today is not the day of the Great Dynasty Meeting, and all the courtiers know that the reason why the trumpet of the Dynasty Meeting will be sounded today is just for the canonization of the two mothers today. Therefore, all the courtiers stood on both sides of the white marble steps below the main hall of Xianyang Palace.
From the high platform in front of the main hall of Xianyang Palace, a long line of Daqin officials wearing various court clothes lined up on the Xianyang Palace Square.
With the chanting of Wang Yan and the others in the matter, it was still the imperial robe woven with black and gold, wearing a balance crown on his head, and His Majesty Hu Hailong, the second emperor of Great Qin, who was wearing a sword at his waist.
When Hu Hai's figure appeared on the high platform in front of the main hall of Xianyang Palace, a burst of cheers like thunder suddenly broke out in the square of Xianyang Palace.
From this cheer, it is not difficult to hear the prestige of His Majesty the Second Emperor, who is now reformed in Daqin or Guanzhong Xianyang.
The cheers gradually stopped!
"Ministers, see His Majesty the Emperor, long live Your Majesty! Hooray, hooray! ”
Under the leadership of Wei Yu and Feng Quji, hundreds of officials at all levels of Daqin who were divided into two long columns lined up from the top of the steps to the Xianyang Palace Square bowed in unison and shouted.
"Hooray, hooray!"
As soon as the shouts of the courtiers fell, I don't know who led them, the more than 100,000 Daqin people gathered in the Xianyang Palace Square shouted and fell to the ground!
Although it was not the first time that he had stood on this lonely platform hanging in front of the main hall of Xianyang Palace, Hu Hai was still thrilled when he heard the shouts of long live cheers like a mountain and a tsunami, as well as the people of Daqin who bowed down densely.
Every time you stand on this position, every time you accept hundreds of people to worship at this position. Hu Hai understood more clearly why there were countless people in thousands of years of history who followed one after another for the name of the emperor.
Power, the feeling of controlling the life and death of countless people, and dominating the world, can really make people addicted like addiction and drugs.
"Flat!"
Hu Hai took a deep breath and said in a solemn voice.
"Flat!"
Wang Yan, who was standing behind Hu Hai, and more than a dozen eunuchs with loud voices all spoke loudly!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
There was another shout of a landslide.
The Great Qin courtiers who got up, including the people of Xianyang who gathered to see the beautiful demeanor of the two noble concubines who were about to be canonized, were all a little puzzled after getting up. Because today's two protagonists have not appeared until now.
Wei Yi and Feng Quji glanced at each other from afar, and at the same time saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
"Wang Yan, Xuanzhao!"
Hu Hai's faint voice came from the high platform.
