Chapter 110: Zhao Si Lifts the Crown!
The next day, the First Emperor's drive came to Xiangdi as planned.
The mighty convoy drove into the famous Xiangcheng.
Zhao Si was wearing gold armor and drove for the first emperor, and the accompanying armor guards were on the side, and Fan Xu also put on a pitch-black armor to serve the king.
The neat footsteps of the well-trained soldiers accompanied the horses' hooves to kick up puffs of dust, and the large army of tens of thousands of people made the ground in Xiangcheng suddenly shake.
Xiang Bo led his clan to welcome the arrival of the First Emperor, and bowed on both sides of the road to wait.
The First Emperor toured various places, and the local nobles and even the common people along the way must have made such a trip.
This is called observing the majesty of King Qin, and nothing is more shocking and deterrent than walking in front of them.
Xiang Bo, as the person with the most weight in the Xiang family and even Xiang Di at present, was guarded in the center of the crowd, but he didn't want himself to be so conspicuous.
What he hopes is that the First Emperor can feel his humility, and then ignore him and even the entire Xiang family and Xiang Di, it is best to have something urgent, no longer stay in Xiangdi, and go back to each house to find each mother after going through the motions.
This is not an impossible thing, it is impossible for the first emperor to deliberately stop in every place, there was a great survey of the world before, and he did not stop when he drove through Xiangdi, that is, that time his nephew said that he could replace such a bold word.
Xiang Liang's boldness made Xiang Liang almost unable to hold back, and the loss was that the first emperor's drive had gone away......
Fortunately, Xiang Liang, a staunch anti-Qin element, fled because of his crimes, and his stupid and bold nephew was also taken to Wuzhong by Xiang Liang, so he could avoid a lot of moths.
Xiang Bo lowered his head and watched the horse's hooves pass by the ground, begging the First Emperor not to stop here.
But what are you afraid of......
The First Emperor's chauffeur marched through a vast procession to the center, and suddenly stopped.
"Go and ask where the people from the Xiang family are." The First Emperor leaned back in his driver, giving orders with a playful smile on his face.
Zhao Sile parked the rack, his eyes swept over the neatly hanging head of the greeting team and said solemnly: "Your Majesty asked, where are the people of the Xiang family?" ”
The Golden Armor General's question made Xiang Bo's heart tighten.
As the saying goes, what you are afraid of, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, the key is that what the Xiang family is doing now is a bad thing.
Although he was apprehensive in his heart, Xiang Bo still didn't dare to slack off, and stepped forward with his head hanging down, stopping far away when he was still ten steps away from the driving team.
"Uncle Xiang, son of the Xiang family, knock to see Your Majesty!" Although he was apprehensive in his heart, Xiang Bo's voice was still full of anger, and he did not show any panic.
"Let him come and go with him." The First Emperor continued to speak softly.
Xiang Bo was quite far away, and he could only hear it so clearly when he shouted it out with his loud voice, and the First Emperor would definitely not do such a cheap thing.
He just needs to call the shots.
So Zhao Si, the number one dog leg of the First Emperor, spoke in a deep voice again.
"Your Majesty has an order, Uncle Xiang stepped forward to accompany him!"
Zhao Si's angry voice overshadowed the grandeur of Xiang Bo's words.
Xiang Bo's heart tightened when he heard this, but he still stepped forward step by step, carefully moved to the front of the first emperor's drive, and then paid homage seriously.
"Uncle Xiang, knock to see Your Majesty!"
It is worth mentioning that the First Emperor only issued an order to bring troops to the head of the new Qian, which restricted the power of the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms to hold troops, and did not deprive the nobles of the Six Kingdoms of their titles, so although Xiang Bo did not have an official position, his title was recognized by the Qin State and was qualified to be a minister.
"Xiang Yan, what are you?" The First Emperor's voice came from the driver's seat, a little casual, but Xiang Bo did not have the slightest slackness.
"It's my father."
"Since you are Xiang Yan's son, do you have a strategy to inherit his military book?" The First Emperor continued to ask questions with interest.
"The minister is dull, can't get used to it......" Xiang Bo shook his head.
"It's a pity that Xiang Yan's army was defeated and killed himself, and he can't be used by me......" The First Emperor smiled.
Xiang Bo was by the side, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, after all, Xiang Yan's identity was a little sensitive and embarrassing, and he committed suicide after the defeat of the Qin State.
However, the First Emperor did not embarrass Xiang Bo for a long time and changed the topic.
"If I remember correctly, your Xiang family has been a general in the Chu State for generations, and Xiang Di used to be your fiefdom, right?" The First Emperor asked.
"Exactly!" Xiang Bo nodded.
"In this case, you go with you, and you also talk about the new things in the place, I have lived in Xianyang for a long time, and everything that comes into my ears is state affairs, and I can't hear too many interesting things." The First Emperor smiled.
Xiang Bo felt strange when he heard this, King Qin called himself to him, just to hear local anecdotes?
He didn't dare to be sure for a while, after all, this was the first emperor who ruled the world, and when it came down to scolding, who was not afraid of the first emperor standing in front of him?
The people have a lot of rumors about the First Emperor, and sometimes even the makers of the rumors can't tell the truth from the false.
However, for a while, it was difficult for Xiang Bo to think clearly about the intentions of the First Emperor, but he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly retrieved his memory, thinking about what interesting facts Xiang Di was interested in the First Emperor.
The workload is still not so simple, there are many local anecdotes, but it depends on who you tell it to, and you can't touch the red line when telling stories to the first emperor, and the anecdotes are less than half of them.
However, Xiang Bo is a local in the end, even if he doesn't touch the sensitive line, he still talks endlessly.
The First Emperor didn't say anything about Xiang Bo's incessant talk, but occasionally commented on something interesting, which made Xiang Bo even more vigilant, and he instinctively felt that the First Emperor was not as simple as listening to stories.
Slowly marching all the way, Xiang Bo, who acted as the commentator, did not stop talking until his mouth was dry, and he suddenly made a voice in the middle of driving.
"It's funny, I really haven't heard of these interesting stories you told, but I have heard an interesting story about Xiangdi, but you haven't told me about it......" The First Emperor had a playful smile on his face.
"This, maybe the minister hasn't heard of it either......" Xiang Bo's heart tightened, and he had a great sense of crisis, so he hurriedly shirked it.
"I heard that there was a young man named Xiang Ji, during the sacrificial competition, he lifted a thousand-pound copper tripod up and down three times, capable of what no one else can do, and has the courage of the ages, you have heard of this matter." The calm voice of the First Emperor came from the middle of the drive, making his heart tense slightly.
Fuck, how did the First Emperor even know about such a thing?
It's not that Xiang Bo is timid, it's really too sensitive to raise the tripod, there was the king of Chu winning the crown, the king of Qin lifting the tripod died, what the tripod represents, what the tripod means, everyone knows it.
The competition is indeed a normal competition, but the content of the competition is handled by Xiang Liang, and Xiang Bo is also clear about the purpose, just to make Xiang Ji famous.
After all, Xiang Liang has no children......
And Xiang Ji also has an uncle Xiang Bo at the head.
Xiang Liang's actions Xiang Bo was dissatisfied, but at this time, it was impossible for him to report and expose his eldest brother and nephew.
"It's just rumors......," Xiang Bo explained softly.
"Take me to see the tripod your nephew has raised." The undoubted voice of the First Emperor came from the chase, and it was clear that all the explanations were useless, and the First Emperor had already determined the matter.
Xiang Bo was worried, and while complaining about his eldest brother in his heart, he couldn't find any way, so he could only resign himself to taking the first emperor's drive to Xiang Yu's place in the past.
After traveling for about an hour, he finally arrived at the ancestral land where the Xiang family's sacrifice heaven and earth were not open to the public.
The drive stopped, and the First Emperor finally lifted the curtain of the car, and Zhao Si also went forward to help the First Emperor step down.
Xiang Bo lowered his head like a schoolboy who had done something wrong, pointed to the copper tripod used to sacrifice on the side and said: "This is the tripod raised by the nephew of the minister back then." ”
Fortunately, it's just a thousand catties of small ding, and there is nothing to overstep.
The tripod is a ritual vessel, and the specifications used by the princes and ministers are not the same.
But the tripod of a thousand catties is definitely not an excess for the Xiang family of the generations of ministers.
The First Emperor looked at the decent copper tripod in front of him, and glanced at Zhao Si lightly.
Zhao Si nodded slightly.
"It's so high, can you have a thousand catties?" The First Emperor asked.
"A total of 1,300 catties!" Xiang Bo nodded, although he was afraid, but the courage of his nephew Xiang Ji was indeed shocking, he was a real person who lifted 1,300 catties of Dading up and down.
In addition to building momentum, part of the reason why Xiang Liang intends to make Xiang Yu his heir will do it on purpose.
A head of a family without a son, an eldest grandson whose parents died, who is it aimed at? There is no one else except him, the third child.
If this is a fake tripod, Xiang Bo will be the first to debunk it.
Hearing this, the First Emperor nodded and glanced at Zhao Si again, only to see that Zhao Si's face was full of clouds and light winds.
"Zhao Si, you have always been brave, 1,300 catties of copper tripod, you may be able to lift it?" The First Emperor had a playful smile on his face.
"Although I haven't lifted a tripod, but 1,300 catties is not a difficult thing for the minister." Zhao Si smiled.
After saying that, he stepped forward, dragged the bottom of the tripod with one hand, and exerted his strength.
The bronze poured tripod was easily raised by Zhao Si with one hand, and there were bursts of exclamations, and even Xiang Bo couldn't help but shrink his pupils.
"Your Majesty, compared to the big tripod that Your Majesty used to sacrifice heaven and earth, such a tripod is too small and too light, and it is easy for the minister, if there are two, it is barely enough." Zhao Si held Dading with one hand, with a freehand smile on his face, and his words were steady and full of neutrality.
The weight is still there, but 1,300 catties (Qin Jin) is far from Zhao Si's limit.
Zhao Si will polish his strength every day, and he is very clear about his strength, and if there are two, it is his limit for him.
Zhao Si has ruthlessly exposed the careful thinking of the Xiang family, and bluntly said that this kind of small tripod is not comparable with the big tripod that truly represents heaven and earth.
Xiang Yu will cite one, then he will cite two!
Xiang Yu was not very old when he lifted the tripod, and his strength now must be greater than before, and no one knew if it was Xiang Yu's limit when he lifted the tripod.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, the current Xiang Yu people are in Wuzhong, and they are following Xiang Liang incognito, and Zhao Si is forced to slap his face in Xiang's house, so he doesn't have to worry about Xiang Yu jumping out to interrupt his spell casting.
The main thing is to take advantage of people's danger, and the one who bullies is Xiang Yu is no longer.
Zhao Si was looking forward to the contest with Xiang Yu, but this did not prevent Zhao Si from making Xiang Yu suffer a dumb loss before making contact.
The Xiang family wants to step on the Qin State to earn prestige, so it is natural for him Zhao Si to step on Xiang Yu to become famous.
