Hu Hai sat alone in the main hall, and the more he thought about it, the angrier 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, he suddenly realized that he looked like a clown.
"Your Majesty, do you want some food? Your Majesty hasn't eaten anything all day."
Cuiniang's delicate figure did not know when she appeared next to Hu Hai.
Originally, Hu Hai was indeed a little hungry, but what Zhang Han said just now made him feel like he had swallowed a fly. He no longer had any appetite, and said with a strong sense of exhaustion,
"No more food, what time is it now?"
"Back to Your Majesty, it's already passed the midnight hour, and it's the second hour of the ugly hour. Your Majesty, please don't work too hard, it's better to use some food."
As if she could hear the tiredness in Hu Hai's tone, Cuiniang's face was filled with worry.
Hu Hai didn't know what time it was at Chou Shi, but he still knew that if it was two hours an hour, it would be at least 1:30 in the morning.
"I want to sleep."
As Hu Hai said that, he got up and walked behind the black wooden screen. There was a soft cave behind it, which was used by the emperor to rest.
Cuiniang followed Hu Hai closely. She didn't know what happened to Hu Hai.
From the first moment she met Hu Hai when she returned to Xianyang, she found that Hu Hai no longer had the nervousness of walking on thin ice that he had during his previous eastward tour. He was full of high spirits, as sharp as an unsheathed sword.
But at this moment, Hu Hai's back looked full of desolation and exhaustion.
Hu Hai lay softly on the couch, staring blankly at the top of the high hall.
"Cuiniang, why do you think people have so much selfishness? Even though they are now on par with the princes, why are these people still not satisfied?"
Cuiniang didn't say anything, but stood behind Hu Hai and stretched out her hands to massage gently. The right amount of force made Hu Hai couldn't help but close his eyes and enjoy it quietly.
"I don't know why your majesty is like this. But I know that nothing can trouble your majesty."
Hearing Cuiniang's unreserved trust and admiration, Hu Hai didn't know what to say. Yes, was he afraid that he wouldn't be able to play with these old guys?
Everyone has desires, but it seems that I am too naive.
Because they are also human beings! People in high positions!
I am still too weak. Just wait, wait.
After thinking about it, Hu Hai fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.
…
From the moment the first rooster crow breaks the last darkness before the dawn, the earth gradually begins to be shrouded in light, and a new day begins.
"Woo"
A long, low sound of the horn seemed to come from the horizon, covering up the crowing of cocks in Xianyang City, breaking the silence shrouded in Xianyang City.
The vast sound of the horn seemed to be rolling in with the energy of endless fighting and iron horses. It lasted for a cup of tea (equal to ten minutes) before gradually disappearing.
The people of Qin Dynasty in Xianyang who were still sleeping were suddenly awakened by the sound of the horn that came suddenly and without warning.
Suddenly hearing the sound of the familiar horn, the Xianyang Qin people who were accustomed to fighting and fighting seemed to have returned to the glorious days when they followed His Majesty the First Emperor to conquer the six kingdoms and dominate the world.
But that time is long gone. Why is this horn sounding?
Many people with clever minds were startled when they heard this horn. Then they seemed to think of something, their expressions changed, they got dressed in a hurry, opened the door, and found that there were so many people who had the same idea as them.
Immediately afterwards, I discovered that countless brightly armored Forbidden Army soldiers had already filled all the streets and alleys in Xianyang City. They stood silently, like sculptures, as if they had always been here.
After the long, low horn sound, people started to flow from every corner of Xianyang City, including wine shops, farmhouses, and huge houses, gradually converging in one direction like a trickle.
There was no noise or chat. All the Xianyang Qin people who gathered had either solemn or complicated expressions and followed the flow of people in an orderly manner. No one was afraid of the forbidden troops appearing everywhere in Xianyang City at this moment, because they knew what these forbidden troops were for.
Appear.
Countless trickles gradually converged into several long rivers heading towards Xianyang Palace, the oldest palace in the Qin Empire.
"Dong Dong" "Dong Dong" "Dong Dong"
Three short and rapid drum beats suddenly sounded after the long horn sound gradually disappeared and it was tea time.
Following the sound of three drums, the main doors of the huge mansions above Beihan were opened wide. One after another, high-ranking officials and ministers of the imperial court, nobles and nobles, rode cars or rode horses, one after another, towards the huge palace in front of the main hall of Xianyang Palace.
Go to the square.
…
Hu Hai was awakened by the long horn sound that lasted for a cup of tea.
He slept so soundly that he had no idea when he fell asleep last night.
As soon as Hu Hai opened his eyes, he heard Cuiniang's voice next to him,
"Your Majesty, are you awake?"
Hu Hai looked around and saw that Cui Niang looked haggard, as if she hadn't slept all night.
"You're staying with me all night again? I told you before, I'm not a child who needs someone to watch me when I sleep. Besides, I'm in the palace now, not on my eastward tour. Remember to go to bed in the future and don't watch over me.
.Do you understand?"
Hu Hai rubbed Cuiniang's hair with pity and ordered.
"My slave obeys the order." Cui Niang smiled shyly.
"Go and ask someone to bring me the clothes I will use when I go to court. After playing, you can go and take a nap."
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Chen has already sent over His Majesty's jade crown, dragon robe and sword. He just saw that Your Majesty was still asleep and then withdrew again. Does this horn mean that His Majesty is going to court? The slaves are here to wait on His Majesty to wash and change clothes.
"
Cui Niang didn't know that this horn didn't usually sound. It was only used when the emperor offered sacrifices to heaven and the ancestral temple. The reason why the horn sounded today was naturally because His Majesty, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, was going to be whipped. But Cui Niang last night
I don't know when I come back in the palace.
"You go down and have a rest. Where is Lvzhu? Didn't this girl come back last night? I wash my clothes myself, and you can just ask her to change my clothes." Hu Hai didn't want to tell Cui Niang about the reason for the horn.
"Back to Your Majesty, Sister Luzhu was left chatting in her palace by Empress Li Fei last night. She didn't come back until very late, so I asked her to go down and rest."
At this moment, the three rapid drum beats sounded.
Hu Hai didn't know what a good drum sound meant, but yesterday Zhang Han told him that he could just get up when the horn sounded this morning. So did the drum sound mean that time was running out?
"Your Majesty, Sir Zhang Han, I would like to see you." A palace maid came in and said.
Sure enough, Hu Hai secretly thought.
"Let Zhang Aiqing wait for me, I will change my clothes now." Hu Hai ordered, "Come Cuiniang, come and help me change my clothes."
…
After a cup of tea, Hu Hai, who had fully served the imperial crown for the first time, appeared at the entrance of the Xianyang Palace Hall under the leadership of Zhang Han, and a high-pitched and high-pitched voice of "Your Majesty has arrived" resounded throughout the Xianyang Palace Palace Square.
"Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
The ministers standing under the white jade stairs, led by Li Si, knelt on the ground and kowtowed. As soon as the voices of these senior officials of the imperial court fell, there was an overwhelming and uniform sound.
"Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
Countless people in the Xianyang Palace Square, including the Imperial Guards, all knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.
The world shakes!
The entire huge square paved with white jade was crowded with people kneeling around it, and no one was standing. Only Hu Hai and twelve dark golden behemoths stood between the sky and the earth!
Hu Hai was completely absent-minded for a moment at this moment.
