Chapter 121: The Mystery of the Terracotta Army
"My lord, now that we have been in Yanjing for a long time, why don't we go back to Kaifeng with the saint?"
When coming down from the Great Wall, Cheng Hanyun held the sword in his hand and said with a smile.
"No hurry, no hurry, the official has his own arrangements"
"So very good, although this Yanjing is where the capital is located, there is a very strong depressive atmosphere, which makes people have a kind of atmosphere that they dare not speak, and after staying for a long time, it is inevitable that they will be tired, so it is better to return to Kaifeng to be happy."
Haozi took Runzhi's words and said, obviously he and Chen Hanyun's views are basically the same.
"After all, this Yanjing is at the foot of heaven and earth, so it is normal to have a unique majestic aura, you just need to get used to it."
Runzhi shook his shirt and said naturally.
"Obey your orders, it's just that we have to prepare enough clothes, this Yanjing is really a little cold."
"Yes, yes, it's more cold than our big Henan, but it's cold, and there is really no one in this weather," said a servant brought from Kaifeng, named Wang Tonghang.
Because of nearly a year of getting along, Wang Tonghang is already very familiar with Runzhi and others, and often likes to take the initiative to participate in everyone's small talk.
Runzhi has always been relatively easy-going outside the court, so he treats these low-level officials as his friends and brothers.
"The holy decree has arrived, and the governor of Henan and the governor of Henan have accepted the decree"
Just as everyone was walking down a wide downhill road along a Great Wall, a pair of eunuchs came to them, and the father-in-law headed by them suddenly took out the holy decree and said to Runzhi and his party.
Runzhi and his entourage hurriedly looked at the holy decree and bowed down. and listen carefully to the contents of this decree.
"Carried by the heavens, the emperor summoned and said, I heard that the heavens descended on the Si people, and they must first suffer their minds, move their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, and then move their hearts and endures to gain what they cannot. Now that the affairs of Henan have been decided, I have sent people to find out that the land dispute case has nothing to do with the people of the three religions and nine streams, so I will temporarily cancel the punishment and no longer recover his assets.
"Lord An, take the order"
As soon as Runzhi raised his head, he saw at a glance that this eunuch was one of the most trusted eunuchs of Emperor Yongzheng, and his name was Huang Mao, so he politely accepted the holy decree. He took out a hundred taels of gold and quietly sent it to the eunuch.
"This is a little bit of the official's heart, and I hope to smile and accept, and hope to say a few more kind words in front of the saint"
"Of course, of course, here, the Holy Lord's oracle summons you to attack the Saint immediately. No delay in procrastination, admiration"
When the eunuch received the gold, he said to Runzhi as if he had remembered something.
"Okay, the lower official will enter the palace to face the saint, and I hope that my father-in-law can rest assured."
The yellow-haired father-in-law walked up to the sedan chair without looking back.
Chen Hanyun inadvertently saw that Runzhi directly gave this public one hundred taels of gold, didn't he take the lead in bribing?
So he couldn't help but ask: "My lord teaches everyone to be honest and honest, but why do you give gold and silver to this pig and dog-like person, why is this?" ”
Runzhi patted the dust on his clothes that he accidentally picked up when he was afraid of the Great Wall, and then said:
"In fact, it is really an unwritten rule, if the magistrate receives the decree in the capital, he needs to give gifts to his father-in-law, many people do not know this reason, so they have not had time to leave the capital, they have already been in a different place, there are many muddy places in the world, we can gradually approach the purity from the general direction, there is no need to directly collide with it, and the jade is burned"
When everyone heard this, they were speechless.
This Emperor Yongzheng urgently summoned Runzhi into the palace, and naturally there was a reason.
It turned out that someone had reported an earth-shattering case on the note.
In a city west of Yanjing, known as Chang'an, officials of the state government actually participated in a nationwide human trafficking incident without authorization, causing tens of thousands of people to be sold to all parts of Kyushu, causing the people to be angry and demanding strict punishment.
Naturally, Emperor Yongzheng remembered Runzhi for the first time. Weichang
Runzhi entered the palace and was taken by the beautiful palace maid to see Emperor Yongzheng.
Along the way, the palace maid had already introduced the reason why the emperor summoned him, which was obviously explained by Emperor Yongzheng.
"I guess Aiqing already knows, why did I summon you here?"
"The saint is wise, and the minister only knew about it just now."
Runzhi said.
"I'm ready to transfer you to the land of Chang'an, I don't know what Aiqing wants?"
"Obey the Divine Commandment"
"This case is more complicated, in the case was discovered in the land of Chang'an, there was a mysterious case, hundreds of civilians should be curious to enter the terracotta warriors, and finally disappeared without a trace, so the local officials in-depth investigation for three years, only to guess that someone is doing human traffickers, now this case has many suspicious points, hope Aiqing to go to Chang'an, as the prefect of Chang'an, and concurrently serve as the general of Zhengxi, the soldiers who were originally transferred to Shanhaiguan are all under your direct jurisdiction again, and go to Chang'an with Aiqing. I don't know what Aiqing thinks? ”。
Although Emperor Yongzheng asked Runzhi what his opinion was, he obviously just talked about plastic surgery first.
"Obey the commands of the body, long live the saints, long live long live"
After all, Runzhi still took everyone to start and arrived in Chang'an.
Before going to Chang'an, those who were attached to the local area of Henan were given 100 silver travel expenses, and they returned to Kaifeng to resume their jobs.
This Xi'an is also an extremely handsome place.
The people here are different from the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, they are more rugged and unrestrained, like the gongs and drums of jumpers, and like babbling copper locks.
The people here are so hospitable, and when they saw everyone waiting for others, they invited them to their homes.
There are many snacks on the street, including a variety of them.
The variety of roast beef, roast lamb and so on is simply innumerable.
After tasting a lot of snacks, I suddenly thought that when I came here, it was time to meet the terracotta warriors.
It's so magical, so magical that it feels ethereal.
So everyone came to this legendary terracotta warrior with incomparably magical glory.
There are thousands of sculptures of soldiers.
According to legend, it is said that these were the soldiers of the army that Qin Shi Huang originally planned to use for burial, and originally advocated the use of living people.
Later, Prime Minister Li Si told the first emperor that it was better to try to make stone figures from living sculptures, which could temporarily replace these living people.
So these soldiers are depicted, and then they are permanently erected here.
There are more than 10,000 statues of all kinds.
It's really an extraordinary place, with a lot of weapons in the hands of the living people all around.
The armor of many soldiers here, shining brightly, seems to witness the turbulent picture on the battlefield,
Runchi was curious, so he touched the mystery of the terracotta warriors with his hand.
Just listen to the sound of "boom".
