Daqin Fusu: It is difficult to start the battle

Chapter 11 Enthronement, Execution and Scattering of Coins
"play music!"

Tai Le Ling (Feng Chang's official) directed the melodious and solemn bell and drum music.

The visitor guided the ministers into the gate of the palace from the aisle, and went straight to His Majesty.

The imperial family is headed by Zongzheng Xunyang Hou Gongzi, who is listed in the west of His Majesty according to his rank; the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs is headed by the Prime Minister of the Right, Luhou Feng Quji, and is listed in the east of His Majesty according to his rank, and the two stand facing each other.

All the ministers lined up, and Ye Zhe Pu She (the senior officer of Ye Zhe) bowed to the back of the screen of the main hall and shouted: "The emperor's driving, get up!"

Several people in the group then shouted one after another, and the voices swayed backwards one after another.

After the call was over, Fusu sat in the imperial chariot that the first emperor had sat on, and was pushed by 36 servants, and [-] maids came out slowly holding up the umbrella and feather fans like the car cover.

As soon as the emperor's chariot moved, the sound of drums suddenly became passionate.

Amid the sound of elegant music, the emperor's chariot was slowly pushed to the front of the emperor's throne. Fusu, who was wearing a sky-reaching crown, black clothes [xūn], and a long sword around his waist, was supported by his servants and stepped onto the throne steadily.

Fusu looked at the emperor seat with the depiction of the beast, and felt inexplicable emotions in his heart:
'After sitting here, the weight of the whole world will be on my shoulders!
But not long ago, I was just a 996 wage earner!
In this position, a random order will determine the fate of thousands of people. Am I really qualified for this? '

In an instant, the sound of the drum music echoing in the hall seemed to disappear, and Fusu's own rapid heartbeat sounded in Fusu's ear.

Boom, boom, boom...

He recalled all his memories of Qin Chao.

Qin, the first unified dynasty in Chinese history, is also a dynasty that is dying and dying.

After him, the civilization of the Central Plains seems to have entered into a pattern of endless cycles, repeating the rise and fall of feudal dynasties, separation and reunion, and finally overtaken by the barbarians on the other side of the ocean, falling into a century-long darkness.

A voice sounded in his heart:
Is there anything I can do to change this?

Butterflies can flap their wings and cause hurricanes!

Am I not as good as a butterfly?
Perhaps, this is the reason why God let me travel here?

From now on, I am Qin Ershi!Let me save those who are about to fall into the flames of war! ... Fusu sat solemnly facing south.

And all the clans and ministers standing by His Majesty looked at Fusu's cool face like that of the first emperor, and couldn't help but think of the hero who swept the world.

The servant of the audience shot Gao Xuan: "The emperor ascends the throne, and all officials congratulate! Tianzi Yale, get up!"

So, in the sudden change of music.

The visitors led the clan and ministers to congratulate the emperor in three groups: the first group was the highest marquis, the second group was the eldest son to the left elder, and the third class was the five senior officials to the official officials.

Every group of court congratulators bowed to the ground and shouted: "Long live the emperor!"

After the congratulatory greetings were divided into shifts, the clan and ministers filed one by one to the seats that had been assigned names in advance and were fixed.

After everyone sat down, the visitor, Pushe, shouted again: "French wine lasts forever!"

In an instant, the gala changed again, and the audience once again invited the three princes, nine ministers and senior members of the clan to celebrate the emperor's birthday and pray for the emperor's long live;

Throughout the process of court ceremony, fifty censors (officials belonging to the imperial censor) continued to patrol, and all officials whose demeanor was not legal were immediately led out of the hall, and they were punished with armor in some cases, or dismissed from the rank in severe cases.

Therefore, no one dared to be contemptuous and loud, and the entire enthronement ceremony was as solemn as a sacrifice in the Taimiao.

After nine glasses of wine, the servant of the audience shouted: "Stop drinking!" So the drinking utensils were removed.

Ye Zhe Pu She shouted again: "The emperor issued an edict!"

It's finally my turn, I'm really tired... Being the emperor is indeed the most difficult job in the world! ... After Fusu complained in his heart, he scanned the hall for a week with his long and narrow phoenix eyes, and said a few simple words according to the script that Prime Minister You had already prepared.

A moment later, when the clan ministers were drowsy, the visitor, Pushe, shouted again: "Announce the edict of reward!"

Censor Zhongcheng walked slowly to the high stage under the emperor's throne, unfolded the silk script, and the loud voice echoed in the hall.

The first thing was to dig up Fusu's biological mother, the princess of Chu, who had been dead for many years, make her queen, and bury her in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.

The second thing is the same as what was discussed in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. Inner Shi Mengtian moved to the eunuch, Jin Ning Wuhou (Guanneihou), with two thousand households in Shiyi; , Jinping Yihou (Chehou), Shiyi [-] households;

The rest of the generals who followed Fusu Bingfa Jiuyuan were promoted to one rank, and the soldiers were rewarded with a hundred coins.

In addition, Shusun Tong played, and Fu Su went off in person, and Prime Minister Feng Quji broke his head for an hour, and finally finalized:
Exempt the counties in Guanzhong (Internal History [Xianyang area], Longxi County, Beidi County, Shang County, Jiuyuan County, Yunzhong County) and the counties originally belonging to Chu State (Jiujiang County, Kuaiji County, Qianzhong County, Changsha County) One year's oral tax (the emperor's private income, belongs to the Shaofu. It is mainly a head tax collected from children under the age of 14, with an amount of 20 yuan per person. The starting age for levy is 7 years old, and it will start at 3 years old when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Levy.), and the rest of the Shannan counties in Shandong for half a year.

……

Changyang Street, a temporary execution ground.

According to the laws of Qin, Zhao Gao was sentenced to shattering the car and killing his clan, and his execution time was set on the day Fusu ascended the throne, and the execution ground was specially set up in the most prosperous place in Xianyang City to warn the people of the country.

After Ting Weicheng (Ting Wei's subordinate officer) checked and checked, he waited for the final execution.

Regardless of China or foreign countries, people seem to be obsessed with watching killings in execution grounds.

If it weren't for the soldiers around the execution ground standing murderously holding their halberds, I'm afraid that many of the princes' children who couldn't reach the enthronement ceremony would come closer to chat with Zhao Gao.

Of course, in order to prevent Zhao Gao from saying anything against His Majesty, Ting Weicheng cut off his tongue early on, and other criminals waiting to be executed had their mouths stuffed with sackcloth.

"The time has come." A Shuzuo (officer of Ting Wei) said to Ting Weicheng.

"Execution!"

With an order from Ting Weicheng, under the control of the driver, Zhao Gao was evenly divided into five pieces, and the rest of the criminals were also beheaded.

In an instant, the whole street was filled with a strong smell of blood, as well as the stench of internal organs or the smell of excrement.

"Heh, it's really a tyranny!" The middle-aged man in a green skirt and deep clothes shook his head in disdain: "I didn't expect Fusu, who is known for his benevolence, to do the same!"

"You, you dare to criticize the empress, no, Your Majesty, I, I'm going to sue the traitor!" A commoner in white standing beside him shouted.

"Where are you going!" A tall and burly man hugged the common people in white, and when the people around him didn't notice, he pinched him unconscious and poured some wine on him, and then muttered: "I drank so much in the morning!" ? Don’t be afraid of being punished by the government!”

Then, in the vigilant eyes of the surroundings, he left the common people in white, and quietly left with the middle-aged man and more than a dozen men in various clothes.

They didn't notice that on the second floor of the nearby house, two men dressed as Confucian scholars were watching them the whole time.
