The ministers in the tent were silent!

Everyone knows that the situation is no longer controllable by external forces!

The people of Xianyang are willing to boil and beg the emperor to sacrifice to the sky and ask for rain, precisely because of their trust and awe of the emperor! After all, only the emperor can communicate with the heavens!

"I'm tired! You Aiqing also go back to rest early! Ming said the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, and then said the book after the ceremony! The drought situation in Guanzhong still needs a lot of hard work! Stand down! ”

Hu Hai rubbed his forehead and frowned!

The emperor went north with 20,000 elite soldiers, and now only 6,000 are left when he returns! And most of them are injured, and those who are not injured also carry a large number of clay pots! Meng Tian, who was not supposed to return to Xianyang, also returned to Xianyang with the emperor!

All the ministers in the tent knew that the emperor must have encountered a big battle either on the way north or on the way back!

It's just that now those rebels can inflict so much damage on the 20,000 elite soldiers around the emperor? The army of 20,000 went to nearly two-thirds at once!

However, the emperor didn't mention it, and the ministers in the tent didn't dare to take the initiative to ask even if they had more doubts in their hearts!

Seeing that the emperor's mind did not belong, he issued an order to expel the guests, and all the ministers stood up and bowed and saluted: "The ministers are retired!" ”

"The two prime ministers, Wei Lao Aiqing, Meng Aiqing, and Lao Zongzheng and Zhang Aiqing stay!"

When all the ministers walked to the door of the big tent, Hu Hai suddenly spoke!

…… There are only six people left in the big tent: Hu Hai, Meng Tian, Li Si, Feng Quji, Ying Teng, and Zhang Han!

"Sit down!" Hu Hai waved his hand and said!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"During my absence in Xianyang, all the things in the DPRK and the central government have worked hard!"

"Don't dare!"

"I think you all have a lot of doubts in your hearts! I'll tell you about it! When I returned to Xianyang, I encountered Xiang Liang's hundreds of thousands of troops ambushed in Chengwu! A hint of coldness flashed in Hu Hai's eyes when he spoke, and he said with a smile!

"What!"

All the people in the tent, except for Meng Tian, who already knew the reason, Li Si, Feng Quji, Wei Yi, Ying Teng, Zhang Han and others all rose up silently, and said in shock!

The emperor was ambushed by hundreds of thousands of troops!

No wonder, in this way, Meng Tian followed the emperor back to Xianyang suddenly, and the emperor's army went north to suffer such heavy losses!

It's just that deeper doubts appear in everyone's hearts, the emperor's secret northward journey did not edict the world, how could Xiang Liang, who was more than 1,000 miles away from Xianyang, know?

You must know that many ministers in the court still don't know that the emperor is not in Xianyang!

Could it be that someone leaked or informed Xiang Liang about the emperor's northward journey?

"Not bad! Someone in the court informed Xiang Liang about my northward journey! That's why Xiang Liang set up an ambush in the place where I must pass, wanting to kill me! However, fortunately, thanks to the arrival of the army led by Aiqing, Xiang Liang's rebels fled in a panic! ”

Hu Hai seemed to see what they were thinking from the faces of Li Si and the others, and affirmed!

"Huh?!"

After receiving Hu Hai's affirmation, Li Si and the others were shocked again!

Xianyang, there are only a few people who can be qualified to get the news that the emperor is going north in advance! And, of course, the many generals and soldiers of the Bashang battalion!

But it doesn't matter who leaked it! This incident also appeared for the first time in the hundreds of years of history of Great Qin, and the emperor's secret route was leaked and ambushed!

No matter who it is, this is a bomb that will explode at any time for Daqin!

"Your Majesty forgives your sins!"

Li Si and the others bowed to the ground in unison, and said in fear!

"Everyone, love Qing Ping!" Hu Hai raised his palm, "All of you Aiqing are my Great Qin Pillar Stones, and you will definitely not betray the news of my northward journey to Xiang Liang's traitors!" So you don't have to worry! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Li Si and the others got up, they immediately shook Meng Tian to the ground who had been sitting on the side!

They all know that if Xiang Liang really wants to kill Hu Hai in Chengwu or capture him alive this time! Then Daqin is really in danger!

Meng Tian hurriedly flashed sideways, "You adults don't have to be like this, you won't dare to take credit!" Your Majesty has your own heavenly protection! When the general rushed to Chengwu, Xiang Liang's army had already withdrawn! ”

"You don't have to bow to you! I have already ordered a thorough investigation of this matter! But whoever you find! I will punish the nine clans to set an example! Do you know Aiqing? ”

Hu Hai's smile suddenly narrowed, and he said murderously!

"Your Ministers obey!"

Li Si and the others bowed in unison and said!

"Put this aside! Ming said the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky! Do you have any words to say? Hu Hai asked!

"Your Majesty, the matter of sacrificing to the sky and asking for rain is a bit vain! If it rains all day, everything should be solved! If there is no rain, Your Majesty will immediately fall into a disadvantageous situation! Please think again, Your Majesty! "Li Sidao!

"Prime Minister, if I don't sacrifice to the sky and don't ask for rain, will the situation be better?" Hu Hai said with a smile, "What I want to ask is not whether to sacrifice to the sky or not to sacrifice to the sky, but to sacrifice to the sky If it doesn't rain, you Aiqing can have a good plan!" ”

"Your Majesty, it is clear that the elite of the Bashang camp can be exhausted, and there will be no confusion when the sky is sacrificed! If, after the worship of heaven, there is no rain, even if the people's feelings are turbulent, we can also have some explanations, or we can say that it will rain after the end of the day. And if it really rains after the end of the day, it will be great! Even if it can't rain, there are more than a dozen buffers, and the ministers can calmly arrange and send hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Xianyang back to their hometowns! What needs to be guarded against now is that when there is no rain in the sacrifice sky, people with ulterior motives take the opportunity to instigate the people to cause chaos! ”

Feng Qujian glanced at Li Si and got up and said!

"Lord Feng's words are true!"

Ying Teng and Wei Yi nodded at the same time! Meng Tian next to him also nodded!

Indeed, although Feng Quji's method is a delaying strategy, fortunately, it can be delayed for a few days, and there is no need to be in such a hurry as today! With more than a dozen days of time, I can really come up with more ways to decorate!

"In this way, when the sky is sacrificed, the battalion and the army will be under the command of Meng Aiqing, and the old lieutenant Aiqing can assist! Zhang Aiqing is with me! All the armies, Meng Aiqing said that they can be used wherever they are used! ”

With Meng Tian, a famous general in the world, and with the assistance of Wei Yu, a big soldier, it is impossible for anyone to incite chaos when worshipping the sky!

"The old minister obeys!" Meng Tian and Wei Yi bowed down to receive the order!

"I will win a black ice platform and the dragon guard will help you! What is the need for Meng Aiqing to win a clear statement! Hu Hai thought about it, and handed over the Dragon Guard and the Black Ice Platform to Meng Tian!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Okay, all Aiqing, go down and rest! Indeed, I am tired! ”

"Your Majesty's golden body, tired from long-distance work, you need to rest! Wait for the resignation! Li Si took the lead!

"Wait for the resignation!"

…… In the afternoon, the emperor will hold a ceremony to worship the heavens at Liangshan on the outskirts of Xianyang at seven o'clock in the morning, and the edict to pray for rain will spread throughout Xianyang City!

This news made Xianyang, who was already in a state of anxiety, suddenly feel like a puddle of clear water, and he was immediately at ease!

The sacrifices and altars needed for the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens are known in the whole Xianyang and even the entire Guanzhong at the foot of Liangshan Mountain!

A large number of people from all over Guanzhong and the people of Xianyang took advantage of the sun going down and the heat was slightly dispersed! They rushed to the place where the Liangshang Sacrifice Ceremony was located, so as to seize the powerful terrain and watch the Ming Sacrifice Ceremony!

In less than two hours, Xianyang City, which was originally crowded due to the influx of hundreds of thousands of people from all over the country, was suddenly empty!

At the time when the people of Xianyang rushed to Liangshan! The big camp is rarely lively!

In the past 20 days, a team of soldiers walked out of the barracks during the day, put on armor, picked up weapons, and then, under the leadership of their respective generals, rushed to Liangshan, which is twenty miles away from Xianyang City, between Xianyang and Bashang camp!

Countless people, crowded on the mountains, plains, wilderness, and trees around the altar of worship! Anxiously waiting for the next day!

And the arrival of a large number of fully armed Daqin soldiers suddenly cleared the radius of more than ten miles around Liangshan, which was originally a little chaotic because of the flow of people!

These soldiers not only maintain order, but also guard and manage all the areas that are divided into districts by district for all the people who dare to come to see the ceremony! At the same time, these soldiers also brought countless large tents for the use of these people who watched the ceremony!

As for the food, of course, no one will take care of it!

The tents are provided precisely to better manage these chaotic people!

It's night! Countless torches reflect each other in a radius of more than ten miles around the Liangshan altar! Shine with the stars in the sky!

On the 23rd day of July in the first year of Great Qin II, the night of this day was unusually long for many people!

But for Hu Hai, it was too fast!

The time is fast approaching the next day!

July 24 of the first year of Great Qin II!

In the morning, Hu Hai was woken up by the early Win Teng and began to dress!

A pure black royal robe embroidered with gold wire, a black cloak woven with gold wire, a flat crown with tassels hanging on both sides, and a Tai'a sword hanging from his waist! This is the first time Hu Hai has dressed so solemnly!

After Hu Hai finished dressing, under the escort of a large number of dragon guards, he traveled in a carriage for the first time!

Because today's Hu Hai's outfit is really not suitable for him to ride a horse again! Of course, this is also to show the emperor's majesty! After all, this will appear in front of the eyes of nearly a million people!

Although, it is impossible for most people to really get close to Hu Hai and get close to Hu Hai!

You must know that last night, nearly 400,000 elite soldiers of the Bashang camp all drove out of the Bashang camp, and there were nearly 20,000 dragon guards and black ice platform fine works, all over the entire Liangshan area!

Three o'clock (5:45 a.m.!) The bronze crown carrying Emperor Daqin II arrived at the Liangshan altar with a roar!

With the arrival of the emperor's motorcade, nearly one million people in Liangshan, which originally seemed turbulent because of the dawn, gradually quieted down!

Although it is at least two miles away from the emperor, many people can't see the emperor's face clearly! However, the countless Changge, the flags in the sky and the crown of the Yellow Calendar, and the grand momentum all tell everyone that His Majesty the Second Emperor of Great Qin is here!

Everyone knows that His Majesty the Emperor is here, so the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens is bound to begin!
