Chapter Forty-Eight: The Trumpet Is Boundless
Hu Hai sat alone in the main hall, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, it turned out that things were not what he thought at all.
At this moment, thinking of the faces of the ministers in the audience before, he suddenly realized that he was like a clown.
"Your Majesty. Do you need some meals? Your Majesty hasn't eaten for a day. β
Cui Niang's delicate figure didn't know when it appeared beside Hu Hai.
Originally, Hu Hai was indeed a little hungry, but Zhang Han's words just now made him feel like he had swallowed a fly, and he no longer had a trace of appetite, and said with a thick tiredness and weakness,
"No, what time is it?"
"Back to Your Majesty, it's past the time of the child, and it's two minutes of ugliness. Your Majesty, don't work too hard, let's have some food. β
As if hearing the tiredness in Hu Hai's tone, Cui Niang's face was full of melancholy.
Hu Hai didn't know what time it was, but he still knew that if an hour and two hours were in place, it would be at least half past one in the morning.
"I want to sleep."
Hu Hai got up and walked behind the black wooden screen, there was a soft collapse behind it, which was used by the emperor to rest.
Cui Niang followed closely behind Hu Hai, she didn't know what happened to Hu Hai.
From the first time she saw Hu Hai when she returned to Xianyang, she found that Hu Hai no longer had the nervous feeling of walking on thin ice and being cautious during the previous eastern tour, and the whole person was full of spirit, as sharp as the unsheathed sword.
But at this moment, Hu Hai's back was full of gloom and exhaustion.
Hu Hai lay softly on the soft collapse, looking at the top of the high hall in a daze.
"Cui Niang, why do you say that people have so many selfish intentions? Even if they are now more than the princes, why are these people still not satisfied? β
Cui Niang didn't speak, stood behind Hu Hai and stretched out her two hands to massage it gently. Just the right amount of strength made Hu Hai can't help but close his eyes and enjoy it quietly.
"The slave doesn't know why His Majesty is like this. But the slave knows that nothing can be difficult for His Majesty. β
Hearing Cui Niang's unreserved trust and worship, Hu Hai didn't know what to say. yes, are you afraid that you won't be able to play with these old things?
Everyone has **, it seems that they are too naΓ―ve.
Because they're human too! People in high positions!
I'm still too weak. Wait, wait.
Thinking about it. Before he knew it, Hu Hai fell into a deep sleep.
β¦β¦
From the first rooster crow broke the last darkness before the morning light, the earth gradually began to be enveloped in light, and a new day began.
"Whew"
A low long horn sound seemed to come from the sky, covering the rooster crows one after another in Xianyang City, breaking the Xianyang City that was shrouded in silence.
The sound of the horn seemed to roll in with the endless aura of the golden iron horse, and it lasted for a cup of tea (equal to ten minutes) before gradually disappearing.
The Xianyang Qin people, who were still asleep, were suddenly awakened by the sudden sound of the vast horn without warning.
Suddenly hearing this familiar horn sound, the Xianyang Qin people, who were accustomed to conquest and fighting, seemed to have returned to the eventful years when they followed His Majesty the First Emperor to level the Six Kingdoms and dominate the world.
But now is not the time, why is this trumpet sounding?
Many clever people were stunned at first when they heard this horn, and then as if they had thought of something, their faces changed, and they hurriedly dressed and got up, and opened the door, only to find that there were so many people who were thinking the same as themselves.
Immediately afterwards, it was found that countless soldiers of the forbidden army with bright armor had filled the streets and alleys of Xianyang City at some point, standing silently, as if they were sculptures, as if they had been here all along.
After the long and low sound of the horn, there were people from all corners of Xianyang City, such as wine shops, farmhouses, and giant mansions, which gradually converged in one direction like a trickle.
There was no noise, no chatter, all the Xianyang Qin people gathered together either looked solemn or complicated, and walked in an orderly manner with the flow of people, no one was afraid of the forbidden army that appeared everywhere in Xianyang City at this moment, because they knew why these forbidden troops appeared.
Countless trickles gradually converged into several long rivers towards the oldest palace of the Great Qin Empire, Xianyang Palace.
"Knock knock" "Knock knock" "Knock knock"
Three short, rapid drum beats suddenly sounded after the long horn faded away from the tea time.
After the sound of three drums, the main gates of the huge mansions on the north hall were opened, and one after another the high-ranking officials and important ministers of the imperial court, the nobles and nobles rode horses or rode horses, and successively walked towards the huge square in front of the main hall of Xianyang Palace.
β¦β¦
Hu Hai was awakened by the sound of a long horn that lasted for a long time of tea.
He slept so hard that he didn't know when he had fallen asleep last night.
As soon as Hu Hai opened his eyes, he heard the voice of Cui Niang next to him,
"Your Majesty, are you awake?"
Hu Hai looked at it, and found that Cui Niang's face was haggard, obviously she hadn't slept all night.
"You've been keeping watch for another night? I told you a long time ago, I'm not a child who needs to be watched when he sleeps, and besides, I'm in the palace now, not when I'm on the eastern tour. Remember to go to bed in the future, don't guard me. Got it? β
Hu Hai rubbed Cui Niang's hair with pity on his face and instructed.
"The slave obeys." Cui Niang smiled shyly.
"Go and get someone to bring me the clothes that I used for the court. Once you've played, go to bed. β
"Your Majesty, Gonggong Chen has already sent His Majesty's jade crown and dragon robe and sword over, and just now he retreated to see that His Majesty was still asleep. Is this trumpet for His Majesty to go to court? Slaves and maidservants came to wait for His Majesty to wash and change clothes. β
Cui Niang didn't know that this horn usually didn't sound, only when the emperor sacrificed to the sky and the temple would be used, today's horn sounded naturally because His Majesty the Second Emperor of Daqin was going to be whipped, but Cui Niang didn't know it in the palace when she came back last night.
"Go down and rest, where is the green bead? Didn't this girl come back last night? I'll wash myself, and you can just let her change my clothes. Hu Hai didn't want to tell Cui Niang about the reason for this horn.
"Back to Your Majesty, Sister Luzhu was left in her palace by Concubine Li's mother to chat last night, and she didn't come back until very late, and the slave maid let her go down to rest."
At this moment, the three rapid drums sounded.
Hu Hai didn't know what a good drum sound meant, but yesterday Zhang Han told him that it was good to get up by himself when the horn sounded this morning, so does this drum sound mean that time is running out?
"Your Majesty. Lord Zhang Han asked to see him. A palace maid came in and said.
And so it was. Hu Hai said secretly.
"Let Zhang Aiqing wait for me, and I will change my clothes." Hu Hai instructed, "Come to Cui Niang, come and help me change my clothes." β
β¦β¦
When Hu Hai, who was dressed for the first time in full clothes, appeared at the door of the main hall of Xianyang Palace under the leadership of Zhang Han, a shrill and high-pitched voice of "Your Majesty has arrived" resounded throughout the square of the main hall of Xianyang Palace.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
The ministers standing at the foot of the white jade ladder, led by Li Si, knelt on the ground and kowtowed. As soon as the voices of these high-ranking officials of the imperial court fell, there was an overwhelming wave of neatness.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
Countless people in the square of the main hall of Xianyang Palace, including the forbidden army, all knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.
Heaven and earth shake!
The entire huge square paved with white jade and the surrounding area were densely packed with kneeling people, and no one stood anymore. Only Hu Hai and twelve dark golden behemoths stood in this heaven and earth!
Hu Hai lost his mind for a moment at this moment.
