Chapter 508: My Golden Man
The twenty-sixth year of the First Emperor, April.
"Childe, when the minister entered the palace just now, he saw that Lang Wei was transporting Jin people into the palace, saying that it was for the twelve Yidi giants that appeared in Lintao at the beginning of the year to commemorate the commemoration, I heard that those giants are very tall, at least they are so tall!" In the Qin Palace, a man more than four feet tall was tiptoeing, trying to stretch out his little short hand upward, trying to compare the height of the golden man.
But he was too short, and this action, combined with his strange appearance, made it even more funny.
Hu Hai smiled and said, "Jinren? Then I'll have to take a look, and you'll have to take me there! The little boy immediately got up from the couch and shouted for the dwarf in front of him to take him to see the Twelve Golden Men.
"Howler!" Youhan smiled, turned around, and ran out of the house with his little short legs. Although Hu Hai is young, he is a head taller than this dwarf, and he surpassed Youhan in a few steps.
He turned around and said, "The short leg is running slowly, I'll take you, giggle......" Hu Hai laughed as he ran, especially when he saw the dwarf behind him moving his little short legs and chasing after him hard, he was even more happy.
Faced with the teasing of his son Hu Hai, Youhan was not ashamed, but made a more funny appearance from time to time, which made Hu Hai laugh.
Youjan is an advocate. Advocate people, that is, jugglers of this era. He has no other skills, but he can tell jokes and make burlesque performances to please the nobles.
Youhan's performance was very funny and funny, and he was quite liked by Qin Shi Huang, who often let him go in and out of the palace to play with his youngest son Hu Hai for fun.
Hu Hai and Youhan, the two dwarfs walked through the palace after a while and came to the square outside Xianyang Palace. Far away, they saw the golden man standing in front of them.
"Didn't you say that there were twelve Jinmen? Why is there only one here, why are those people bowing down to the golden people? ”
"And this golden man doesn't look tall, I feel like he's standing like his father?" Hu Hai muttered, his face full of doubts.
From his vantage point, he could see a tall figure standing on the Xianyang Palace Square in the distance, and around him, there were more than ten people kneeling on the ground.
The corners of Youhan's mouth twitched, and he said, "Childe, the one standing is the emperor, and those golden people are kneeling around him." ”
"Huh?" Hu Hai blinked, and when he got closer, he saw that the tall figure standing in the middle was Qin Shi Huang.
As for the more than a dozen people kneeling on the ground next to them, they were dressed in Yidi costumes, and their whole bodies were made of gold and iron, with different postures, kneeling on the ground, making a gesture of submission and obedience.
It's just that these golden figures are built according to the height of real people, and now when they kneel on the ground, the height is only about six feet.
is a head taller than him Hu Hai, and he has nothing to do with the imaginary giant. Twelve golden people, that's it?
……
"This is my golden man?" The First Emperor stood in the middle of the square, looking at the twelve golden men who were bowing to him around him, and his eyes were a little dazed.
When he ascended the throne as emperor, twelve Yidi giants appeared in Lintao, bowed down to the prime minister in the direction of Xianyang, and then disappeared.
The Yin and Yang family said that this is a good omen from heaven. Therefore, the first emperor wanted to use the collected soldiers from all over the world to create twelve golden men to commemorate such auspicious events.
In the emperor's imagination, these twelve golden figures should be tall and majestic, built according to the height of five zhang, standing in front of Xianyang Palace.
When the sun shines on the golden man, it will cast a huge shadow on the square in front of the palace. When people walk on the road in front of Xianyang Palace and see these twelve huge golden figures, they will definitely be shocked by their majestic posture and feel frightened, so as to highlight the majesty of imperial power.
What a spectacle, what a thrilling scene! Just thinking about it in his head, the First Emperor felt that the blood was surging all over his body.
Magnificent! Spectacular! Shock! It's just that when the First Emperor's eyes widened and he looked at the golden man kneeling in front of him, the expression on his face was complicated.
These golden figures have different postures and postures, and they are also divided into men and women, wearing Yidi's clothes, and the appearance of each golden figure is very smart, lifelike, and very exquisite.
This look is a matter of heart, and it cannot be said that it is not done well. But when the First Emperor saw his youngest son Hu Hai and the dwarf Youhan, running here on short legs, his mood was difficult to calm down.
The eight-foot golden man knelt on the ground, only about six feet, and could only reach his waist. Compared with Hu Hai and Youhan, they are only a head taller than them.
"Your Majesty." Youhan pounced and bowed to the First Emperor, because he ran too quickly and his legs were too short, and he accidentally rolled on the ground.
Youzhan took advantage of the situation to make a bow on the ground, looked up and glanced at the surrounding Jin people, and then laughed: "The minister and the prince heard that the Shaofu sent the Jin people into the palace, and they wanted to come to pay their respects, but I didn't expect these Jin people to look tall and big, but they are as timid as my short man, it's really funny." ”
"Hey, how can you tell that these golden people are cowardly?" Hu Hai blinked his eyes and looked at the twelve golden people in front of him, but he didn't see where these golden people were timid.
The First Emperor also looked over to see what the dwarf had to say. Seeing Youhan, he smiled and said: "If these golden people are not timid, then how can they be like Youhan when they see Your Majesty, and their knees are as weak as my Youhan, and they kneel on the ground to surrender to Your Majesty?" ”
"Giggles, it turns out that these golden people were so frightened by their father that they knelt down." Hu Hai was amused by Youyan's sycophancy.
The First Emperor was expressionless. If it was usual, he would probably have laughed at the gnome's funny words.
But today, listening to the other party's sycophants, looking at the golden people around him who are only a head taller than Hu Hai and Youhan, and then thinking of the magnificent scene in his imagination.
The First Emperor was in a very bad mood. He didn't want to be angry with his favorite youngest son and a dwarf.
It's casual
"Hmm" and said, "Since you want to see the golden people, let's take a good look, and you won't see it in the future." With that, the First Emperor turned and left.
Only Hu Hai, who looked confused, and the thoughtful Youhan stayed in place and was accompanied by the golden people.
"Your Majesty." Zhao Gao, who was standing not far away and waiting, saw the First Emperor coming over and hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"This Jin man is very good, send someone to pull Zhao Tuo back." The First Emperor looked back at the twelve little golden figures not far away, and something seemed to be shattered in his heart.
"Melt them down and forge farm tools." The First Emperor whispered. His dream of gold was shattered. He didn't want to see these golden men anymore, and he didn't want to make them again.
……
"The emperor said that the golden man was very good, and then let me melt it and cast it into farm tools?" In the Shaofu official office, when Zhao Tuo received the order from the palace, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then a surging smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The emperor knows the general situation! Knowing that the Qin State was now in ruins, and agricultural production needed a large number of farm tools, he was only addicted to it, so he let him melt this golden man and cast it into farm tools.
Although it took a lot of manpower and material resources to cast gold, it was more beneficial to the country to melt them down and cast them into agricultural tools than to throw them in the palace as a handicraft collection.
"The emperor's dedication to the country is really touching. My baby is about to come out, just in time to surprise him! Zhao Tuo was in a good mood.
Because after a busy month, not only is the destruction of blades used to mint coins and farm tools on the right track, but he doesn't need to worry about it anymore.
What's more, the task that Zhao Tuo gave to Ling Zhanghan in the examination office finally came up with the first batch of results!
Paper, coming soon!
