September 15th, the first year of the Second Qin Dynasty.
All government offices in Xianyang City were emptied out. All low-level officials and soldiers from Tingwei Mansion, Weiwei Mansion, Lieutenant Mansion, Shangji Mansion, Yushi Mansion, etc. all left the government offices and spread throughout Xianyang city.
, trying their best to maintain the order and stability of Xianyang City today.
The vast Xianyang Palace Square was newly decorated. With Xianyang Palace as the center, nearly 80,000 Qin soldiers were distributed in the streets and alleys within a radius of ten miles, with one sentry at five steps and one post at ten steps.
These soldiers basically mobilized all the soldiers stationed in all parts of Guanzhong except the four major passes of Hangu Pass, Dashan Pass, Xiao Pass, and Wuguan. They also included Hu Hai's Suzaku Army, Xuanwu Army, and White Tiger Army who stayed in Xianyang.
Elite.
It can be said that in order to allow today's queen registration ceremony to be held smoothly, today's Guanzhong has become an undefended place except for the four major passes.
Hu Hai is not sure how many outsiders there are in Xianyang City now. However, according to the statistics of Weiwei Mansion and Longwei Mansion, there are at least hundreds of thousands. If the people of Xianyang and Neishi County are added, there are probably more than a hundred.
As many as ten thousand people.
Because it was not considered at the beginning that the Hall of the Empress will attract so many people from all over the world to come to Xianyang, the cost of the ceremony has also skyrocketed.
The most important part of the cost was actually the consumption of food and grass mobilized by the garrison in various places. For the rest of the expenses, Zongzheng Mansion and Fengchang Mansion adhered to Hu Hai's intention of keeping everything simple and did not spend much.
On the huge Xianyang Palace Square, countless areas have long been separated by soldiers. The nobles of various aristocratic families are naturally at the front of the crowd watching the ceremony, and they are also the closest to the stairs of the main hall of Xianyang Palace.
Except for the guarding soldiers, everyone must go through strict inspections on several lines of defense before they can approach Xianyang Palace.
Xianyang Palace Square is much larger than the Imperial Capital Square in later generations, and can accommodate far more than one million people. However, for the sake of safety, Xianyang Palace Square is also divided into countless areas.
The soldiers were separated.
All for safety!
In order to get a good seat, many people have been waiting in Xianyang Palace Square since yesterday.
If someone could look down from the sky at this moment, they would find that with Xianyang Palace Square as the center, a passage more than twenty feet wide and endlessly long spans the flow of countless people, dividing the ten miles of Xianyang Palace into
Two disconnected areas.
Amidst the grand and long desolate horn sound, Hu Hai, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, wearing a black gold woven imperial robe, a tasseled scale crown on his head, and a Xuanyuan sword hanging on his waist, appeared on the high platform in front of the main hall of Xianyang Palace facing the rising sun.
superior.
If the emperor's canopy appears, then the one under the canopy must be the emperor.
The sound of "Long Live Your Majesty" rose like a tsunami from the city of Xianyang.
In and around Xianyang Palace Square, which was originally crowded with people, Hu Hai stood alone in an instant.
Looking at the crowds of prostrate people on the square and around the square. Looking at Li Ji, Li Fei, Yu Ji and others behind him who were also paying homage, Hu Hai suddenly felt a little lonely in his heart.
Perhaps, this is the reason why the emperor is said to be a loner.
Amidst the melodious sound of Huang Zhong and Da Lu, the ceremony of the Queen's Book of Ceremony finally began.
After a series of tedious ceremonies that Hu Hai thought were completely superfluous, it was finally time for Hu Hai to crown Li Yu.
When the scale crown, which symbolized the position of the queen and was one size smaller than the scale crown on Hu Hai's head, was put on Li Yu's head by Hu Hai, the tense heart of Li Yu, who was hanging his head, finally relaxed.
.
She had never wanted something as much as she did today.
Looking at Li Yan's pretty face that turned red due to shortness of breath, the doubts in Hu Hai's heart flashed away, but he didn't go into details. He just thought it was because of excitement. After all, she was the first queen in the world.
The ceremony to enter Li Ji into the clan roster was supposed to be carried out at the Daozong Palace after the grand ceremony, but because of Hu Hai's words, it was completed together with the grand ceremony.
As Li Yu put on the crown of Tian Ping, the whole ceremony of selecting the queen seemed to have been completed.
Just when everyone thought that the ceremony of enthroning the queen was over, as Hu Hai gently lowered his head, a huge black brocade and gold-lettered "Qin" character appeared in front of the main hall of Xianyang Palace, standing high in the sky behind Emperor Hu Hai's canopy.
.
Hu Hai stood at the highest point, and the appearance of this big stone immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
The word "Qin" is big, and the whole Qin Dynasty has only two sides.
Except for the one currently used by Hu Hai, which is black brocade with gold characters on a white background, the remaining one is exactly the same one Meng Tian once showed during the battle between Julu and Li Zuoche.
The word is big.
The gold-lettered insignia was only taken out of the Imperial Ancestral Temple when the emperor was personally conducting military campaigns. The rest of the time, it was always enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
All the people of the old Qin Dynasty are very clear about this. Only the people from the six countries who came from other places or were later merged into the Qin Dynasty are not clear about it.
Seeing the large gold-lettered inscription flying high in front of the main hall of Xianyang Palace, a series of exclamations suddenly erupted in the Xianyang Palace Square. Apparently some old Qin people had recognized the origin of this large insignia.
Could it be that the emperor was about to leave Xianyang to conduct his own expedition?
As the gold-letter sign appeared, a muffled sound came from the west of Xianyang Palace Square.
The crowds of people standing quietly moved forward like a tidal wave as the rumbling sound moved forward.
What happened? What did they see?
The crowd became uncontrollably commotion, and then the commotion gradually became silent as the rumbling sound approached.
Amidst the crisp sound of horse hoofbeats, three knights with ferocious masks on their faces, covered in heavy armor, and covered with red cloth on their backs appeared in sight. A black brocade "Qin" tooth flag was held high by the knight in the center.
rise.
This is not important, what is important is that they are behind the three riders.
Amidst the rumbling sound, the earth seemed to be shaking!
One by one, steel giants covered in heavy armor and with ferocious visors on their faces followed closely behind the three knights holding tooth flags. A line of ten people, what are they holding in their hands? Is it a shield? What about Da Qin?
At that moment, a giant steel shield that was more than one foot tall appeared!
As these steel giants moved forward, the crowds of people on both sides of the road couldn't help but retreat. The unabashed murderous atmosphere made them feel no human breath at all. This group of people seemed like demons from hell!
Rows of steel giants holding huge shields marched forward firmly with neat and heavy steps. Everyone was thinking, who else can break such a steel giant and such a huge shield? With only dozens of people, it gave people a
It feels like there are thousands of troops and horses. If there are more than ten thousand, who else in the world can stop it?
The people walking in front of the queue said whether they were going fast or slow, they were already on the square in front of the main hall of Xianyang Palace in a short time.
Amidst the clanging of armor, all the elite soldiers of the Xuanwu Army holding huge shields saluted Hu Hai standing on the high platform of the main hall of Xianyang Palace.
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Be loyal and brave, defend the country and protect the people!"
"Qin! Qin! Qin!"
Three consecutive shouts, as if they came from nine heavens away, instantly rose into the sky from the array of steel giants, shaking the entire Xianyang City! The last three consecutive words "Qin" were even more like roars from the sky, making everyone who heard it
In front of people's eyes, the scene of Qin soldiers sweeping across the country instantly appeared.
The roar seemed to never stop from the moment it started.
Dozens of rows of steel giants holding huge shields passed in front of the main hall of Xianyang Palace. Following them were the same rows of Xuanwu soldiers covered in heavy armor. However, this group of soldiers held nearly two feet of steel in their hands.
The long and ferocious mace is a big club. The densely packed and inch-long sharp barbs on the top of the mace shine with a dazzling cold light under the light of the morning sun, making people shudder.
Behind this group of people were the cavalry. Five hundred light cavalry marched uniformly across the avenue, followed by five hundred heavy armored cavalry, then five hundred infantry armed with broadswords and small shields, and five hundred armed
Heavy armored infantry with spears, then five hundred infantry with crossbows and small shields, five hundred light armored infantry with spears, and finally fifty two-horse carts, with thirty carts in front and behind
All of them were the most powerful large-scale repeating crossbows in the Qin Dynasty, and the last twenty were fully enclosed box-type carts. No one knew what was loaded inside.
Rows of mighty and majestic soldiers passed by in the Xianyang Palace Square, shouting "Kill! Kill! Kill!" making all the people of Daqin present tremble involuntarily, and after the trembling was uncontrollable pride and excitement.
.
Careful people have long discovered the secret from the armor on the soldiers passing by. That is, on the armor of each soldier, there is a dragon, tiger, or bird in the most eye-catching place on the chest.
or turtle symbol.
The emperor's personal army, Tiger Ben, Qinglong, Suzaku, White Tiger, and Xuanwu, are about to emerge.
That's right, a total of five thousand soldiers participated in this unprecedented military parade. All the soldiers came from the five legions of Hu Hai's Bashang camp. The first two Xuanwu troops all followed Hu Hai's experience in Chengwu.
Soldiers who have fought bloody battles.
The ten phalanxes did not go all the way, but after passing through the Xianyang Palace Square and walking forward for a while, they spontaneously stopped. The last twenty carts stopped just in front of the main hall of Xianyang Palace.
The moment all the soldiers stopped, the entire Xianyang Palace Square area instantly turned into a boiling ocean.
Countless people shouted "Long live the Qin Dynasty" and "Long live your Majesty" and fell to the ground, crying bitterly.
The Qin Dynasty built its country with force, but today is the first time that everyone has a feeling in their hearts that if they don't shout out, their whole body will explode. Pride, emotion, and excitement can no longer describe the scene witnessed in front of Xianyang Palace Square at this moment.
The feelings in the hearts of the people of Lao Qin.
The only thing they could do was to chant, over and over again.
September 15th, the first year of Emperor Qin II!
After Hu Hai, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, issued an edict to Wei Liao and the two prime ministers to handle the world's political affairs, he personally led 5,000 elite soldiers of the five legions who had just participated in the military parade that shocked the world, left Xianyang, and headed south from Hangu Pass, taking the step of
