Except for the officials above the third rank who participated in the deliberations of the council hall who knew that Hu Hai would go to Yongcheng today to pay respects to the 19 Great Qin monarchs buried in the tomb of King Qin in Yongcheng, no one in the Manchu Dynasty knew the emperor's whereabouts.
Even Hu Hai didn't even notify a cadre of officials in Yongcheng. The only ones who knew that the emperor was going to Yongcheng were the elders of the clan who stayed in Yongcheng.
Of course, Yingshan also has the Yongcheng Order and is the highest governor of Yongcheng.
On the first Great Qin National Day, Hu Hai had to show it in front of all the Qin people. Coming to worship the Qin people's temple that still remains in Yongcheng and belongs to all the Qin people's beliefs is naturally the best way to express this.
Since the Ying Qin clan became a prince, in order to fight against the Dog Rong people entrenched near the northwest of Longxi, in less than a hundred years, four monarchs of Great Qin have died in the battle with the Dog Rong. It was these ancestors of the Great Qin who led the Qin people to fight with the Dog Rong and Di people from generation to generation, and the Great Qin was able to finally occupy the fiefdom of the King of Zhou, laying the foundation for the Qin State to become a powerful pole among the princes.
The monarch died in an accident, and in the hundreds of years from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, it often happened in various vassal states, and although it was rare for the monarch to die in battle for hegemony, there were still some after all. However, there has never been a vassal state like the Qin State, where generations of monarchs have personally dressed themselves and led countless Qin people who have followed each other to charge at the forefront of the battlefield.
Come to think of it, it is the blood of generations of Qin monarchs that has forged the iron-blooded martial arts of the old Qin people, and there is a peerless feat of the first emperor who swept the world and unified the world.
It is reasonable to say that Hu Hai should come to Yongcheng this time. In the same way, Liyang, who also made great contributions to Daqin's eventual occupation of the vast land in Guanzhong, must also go for a walk and take a look.
The 20,000 cavalry of the Suzaku Army walked on the avenue with torches, and from a distance, it looked like a red dragon winding towards Yongcheng. The advance of the Vermilion Bird Army marched until the Yongshuimen Stone Bridge before stopping.
Before Hu Hai got out of the carriage, Yingshan, who had been waiting by the Yongshui Bridge, and the other seven clan elders with white beards bowed and saluted in unison: "Ministers greet His Majesty the Emperor!" β
"A few elders, hurry up." Clan elders who are qualified to stay in Yongcheng. They are all the most valued confidants of the First Emperor. And Yongcheng Ling Yingshan is the younger brother of Lao Zongzheng Yingteng.
Two brothers, one is the high-ranking Zongzheng Mansion Zongzheng and the internal history of the county, and the marquis of Xianyang, and the other is the Yongcheng Order, the former capital of the Great Qin, Yongcheng, which is obviously extremely special in the era of the first emperor who strictly controlled the strength of the clan.
However, it also shows the degree of trust that the First Emperor had in the two brothers, Ying Teng and Ying Shan.
Hu Hai naturally wouldn't chill the hearts of such clan elders, not to mention that except for Yingshan, most of the remaining seven clan elders were clan elders who guarded King Qin's mausoleum and the Qin Palace's palace in Yongcheng.
It can be expected that these people have stayed in Yongcheng for more than ten years. Decades of dedication to duty are far better than those who can only say that they are loyal to Daqin but have been thieves and prostitutes all their lives.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The eight people of Yingshan did not forget their duty because of Hu Hai's courtesy.
This is the first time Yingshan has seen Hu Hai since he became the Yongcheng Order. It happened more than twenty years ago, after the massacre led by the First Emperor against the people of the clan who opposed him. Yingshan came to Yongcheng with the seven clan elders behind him.
At that time, they were in their prime, and now more than 20 years have passed, and they have been more than half a hundred years old. At that time, the Yingting Emperor in front of him had not yet been born. Now more than 20 years have passed, but he is already the most noble person in Daqin.
Not one of them.
Although I haven't seen Hu Hai, all the things that have happened to this young emperor in the past year or so, and all the changes that have happened to Daqin, Yingshan and the others are all clear, not to mention the high-ranking officials of the twenty-three counties who beheaded the twenty-three people in one hundred and twenty-one counties in a rage half a month ago, and the matter that made the twenty-one counties of Daqin bleed.
This killing was far worse than the hunting and killing of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms after the unification of the initial emperor.
Seeing Hu Hai Zhenren at this moment, the awe in his heart naturally far exceeded that curiosity.
Hu Hai could feel the fear in the hearts of the eight clan elders in front of him. If it hadn't been for the massacre eight months ago, maybe my reputation would have been much better, right?
With that killing of the county officials who were traitors in the counties of Daqin, I am afraid that I have been forever labeled as a thirst for killing.
Thinking of this, Hu Hai's thoughts suddenly drifted a little.
Relive once and steal the emperor's throne. From the original careful survival and protection of the country to the current power alone overlooking the world, Hu Hai knows that the heart he has always wanted to maintain has inevitably changed.
If it was when he first came, he would still kill sixty-three county officials, but he would not necessarily kill their entire clan or even two clans and three clan blood relatives. But. Now, when I made my own decision half a month ago, the only thing I thought about was whether it was the Nine Clans, the Three Clans, or the One Clan. But he didn't even think about whether he should kill the blood relatives of the county officials who may not be guilty at all.
The edification of power has brought him to the point where he treats human life like a mustard in order to achieve his goal?
Looking at the towering and tall walls of Yongcheng, Hu Hai asked himself, thinking for a while but never knowing how to answer himself.
"Your Majesty, it's cold at night. The old minister has already cleaned up the Qi Nian Palace, please let Your Majesty drive! β
Hu Hai's mind did not belong, and Yingshan and others, who were standing beside Hu Hai, naturally found out. Although I don't understand why, but in the northwest land that is about to enter November, the night has already entered winter, so Yingshan waited for a long time and finally couldn't help but speak.
Yingshan's voice suddenly woke Hu Hai up.
"Oh? No more carriages and horses. Elders walk into the city with me, I want to take a good look at this Yongcheng! Hu Hai waved his hand and nodded to Long Bing, who was standing on the side.
Pitching is worthy of heaven and earth, and praise and disapproval have their own spring and autumn. Which is right and which is wrong, leave it to future generations to comment!
Although he disagreed with the emperor's order, because Hu Hai didn't wear too much. But the emperor's order had already been exported, and Long Bing and Long Xue, who were accustomed to obedience, looked at each other helplessly, bowed and retreated.
"Your Majesty......"
"Let's go, elders!" Hu Hai couldn't help but say something to interrupt Yingshan, reached out to hold Yingshan's palm that had become dry, and stepped onto the Yongshui Bridge towards Yongcheng.
At the moment when he was grabbed by Hu Hai's powerful palm, Yingshan's body couldn't help but shake. Although his palms have dried up due to age, the most basic sense of touch is still there.
The Emperor's hand, powerful and fiery. The most important thing is that Yingshan can clearly feel the thick calluses on his palm!
