my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 314 Han Xin: Fortunately, I lived up to my command.
Return to Tianxiang Pavilion.

Zhou Yin invited Fan Zeng to sit down, and then enthusiastically introduced several friends around him to Fan Zeng. They were not high officials, but officials from the middle and lower classes of Xianyang City. The highest one was just a person named Zhisu Neishi. Pingzhun Cheng, whose rank is three hundred stones.

There was even a county clerk who had no rank.

However, it was obvious that no one, including Zhou Yin, cared about this. Several young people talked and laughed, and the atmosphere between them was very relaxed and comfortable.

Fan Zeng, with slightly frosty hair on his temples, sat there and didn't even feel that there was any barrier between himself and this group of young people.

The main thing is that although he was a guest invited by Zhou Yin halfway, except for the beginning, after everyone was polite and polite, everyone was no longer restrained and each talked about topics that interested him.

Zhou Yin took the opportunity to drink and paid a symbolic attention to Fan Zeng's recent itinerary.

However, neither of them talked in depth.

In the past, Zhou Yin once invited Qu Gai and Fan Zeng to have a drink here. The three of them had a very happy conversation, and they could even be called close friends. However, later, Qu Gai died, which became a taboo.

Both of them are smart people and will stop at nothing.

Instead, he changed the subject and talked about what he had experienced during this period.

Fan Zeng raised his glass with a complicated mood, drank it all, and then said slowly.

"I have had nothing to do recently. I walked around Guanzhong and Hedong. Although the people are still poor and bitter, the imperial court has introduced new agricultural tools several times, and the people have become more energetic. Every time a government decree is issued, the local officials are shocked. The old man preached and explained repeatedly, and people's hearts gradually became unified..."

Having said this, Fan Zeng sighed.

"Judging from the characteristics of these two places, people's hearts can be used. Da Qin seems to be showing signs of great prosperity, but..."

After finishing speaking, he pondered silently, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Come on, gentlemen, drink!"

"Come on, drink and win——"

Seeing the elder Fan Zeng personally inviting him to drink, everyone naturally responded enthusiastically. They picked up their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp. The atmosphere suddenly became warmer and closer.

Only Zhou Yin heard the unfinished meaning in Fan Zeng's words, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Pingzhun Cheng Wanyi interrupt with a smile.

"Our Great Qin naturally has signs of great prosperity. In front of us is His Majesty, who is far-sighted and talented. Behind us is His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson, who is wise and mighty, benevolent and virtuous, polite and virtuous, and considerate of the people. How can our Great Qin not be prosperous..."

"More than that-"

After hearing Wan Yi talk about this topic, a young man with a rather strong figure said with excitement.

"In the past, when the world was uncertain, there were Yueshi tigers in the west who were occupying the west of the river, Xiongnu and Donghu intruding on the border in the north, and Baiyue in the south who refused to accept the king's rule. The people of the Central Plains were suffering from wars. Now look at... "

The man looked around.

"Baiyue has been settled. In the past, His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun swept across Mobei, pacified Hexi, and expanded thousands of miles of territory for the Qin Dynasty. Later, Han Xin, the Marquis of Jingbian, conquered the East Hu. There is no longer any worry about the intrusion of the Rong and Di in the surrounding areas of the Qin Dynasty. Throughout history, In hundreds of years, has there ever been such a grand event?”

"That's great, it's just as Brother Jin said!"

Several young people couldn't help laughing and raised their glasses.

Fan Zeng's mood became increasingly complicated.

To see whether a country has signs of great prosperity, in addition to looking at its people and its politics, a very important aspect is to look at what the young people in the country think.

Although these young people in front of me have different identities, they are all full of energy and have a high-spirited and progressive spirit.

When talking about the future of Da Qin, everyone's eyes are bright.

Such a great Qin...

Thoughts were flashing in Fan Zeng's mind, but his expression was very calm. Like a genial elder, he raised the wine glass in front of him, followed the group of young people to signal to each other, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Brother Zhou, I heard that your Charity Hall is currently investigating and registering the homes of widows, widows, and the poor and hungry around Xianyang. How come you have time to invite us here for a drink..."

Pingzhun Cheng Wanyi put down the wine glass in his hand, leaned on the back of his chair, and looked at Zhou Yin, who was looking relaxed, half jokingly, half teasingly.

"Aren't you afraid that His Highness, the Emperor's eldest grandson, will punish you for laziness and dereliction of duty..."

Zhou Yin couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

Looking at the cases in front of him, he looked relaxed and authentic.

"His Royal Highness, the Emperor Changsun, only has the common people in the world. The people are suffering. How can he pay attention to me, a small disciple, if he takes the opportunity to be lazy..."

Having said this, he looked around at the few friends present with a proud look on his face.

"My dear friends, what do you think I am doing today..."

"I know there is no good banquet. If you, Zhou Yin, invite us to drink at this time, it will definitely not do anything good. Tell me, you are an unloyal guy, how are you going to harm me..."

Wan Yi couldn't help laughing when he heard this, pointed at Zhou Yin and laughed and cursed.

Several other people around him also agreed.

The strong man just now was ready to rise.

"I told you before, this guy is definitely up to no good - no, I have to leave right away, lest this guy catches me, and I won't be able to live in peace during the New Year -"

Zhou Yin couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

"It's over. I drank from Mr. Zhou's wine and still wanted to run away..."

Before he finished speaking, he fell into another wave of ridicule.

After everyone had finished laughing, Zhou Yin stood up with a smile, filled several glasses of good wine one by one for several friends, including Fan Zeng, and then smiled.

"To be honest, our Charity Hall has been really busy recently. Including me, I haven't been able to get a good night's sleep for several days..."

After Zhou Yin finished speaking, he vomited his bitterness in a serious manner.

"You all say that His Majesty the Emperor is considerate of the people and cares about people's sufferings, but you say, how come His Highness is so considerate of me? I have lost three pounds from exhaustion these days..."

Having said this, Zhou Yin looked around at his friends confidently.

"Everyone, I'm afraid that Zhou will make friends. How can I rest at home and be happy, while I sit back and watch me work so hard? After drinking this wine, everyone should come back with me to help -"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yinle said cheerfully.

"His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun has repeatedly requested that this year we must allow the people to live a safe and peaceful New Year where they will not endure hunger or cold. It is easy to say that, but it is our turn to do it as ministers. During this period, we Investigating and registering, verifying the situation, and arranging supplies, everyone wants to cut themselves in half and use them, so please give me a helping hand..."

Having said this, Zhou Yin raised his glass and added with a smile.

"However, let me explain in advance that you won't get a penny to do the work for me. You may have to pay for it yourself, and you will suffer a loss. Don't blame me for not warning you in advance..."

Before Zhou Yin finished speaking, someone held him down and gave him a glass of wine.

"I know that making friends with a lazy guy like you won't do anything good. I originally wanted to take advantage of this New Year to have a good time for a few days. Unexpectedly, you pulled me into a strong man again - you said, we should arrive Where can I reason..."

Zhou Yin laughed, and several friends also laughed.

Fan Zeng couldn't help but laugh.

"I am in Xianyang and have no friends. I am worried that I have nowhere to go these days, so I might as well go to your place and get some free meals..."

Zhou Yin was overjoyed when he heard this. "It is really a blessing for Zhou to have Mr. Fan's help. I am even more confident in completing the mission of His Highness the Emperor's Grandson..."

Zhou Yin understood the abilities of the old man in front of him better than anyone else.

With his help, I am even more powerful.

While he was talking, he suddenly heard a burst of noise outside, and the sound came from far to near, like ocean waves, getting louder and louder. When a few people wanted to turn their heads to observe, there was already deafening cheers and cheers outside.

Zhou Yin and others' eyes lit up and they stood up suddenly.

"I'm afraid Marquis Jingbian has arrived!"

Not only their table, but almost all the guests in Tianxiang Pavilion got up, crowded to the window, and looked down.

At this time, I saw a group of black armor elites with flags fluttering, slowly coming along the street.

Wherever the team went, there were loud cheers.

When the team got closer, several people finally saw clearly what was going on inside the team.

Right Prime Minister Feng Quji and Left Prime Minister Li Si each rode on horseback, guarding a tall young man in the middle. This man had a long sword hanging on his waist and a stern face. Behind him were several men wearing donghu leather robes. A piece of plain cloth hangs on it.

The other tough-looking men, although they were not wearing plain cloth, did not have any weapons in their hands. They all lowered their heads and followed the team. Next to each of them, there was an elite member of the Qin Dynasty who was wearing a strong sword. .

Marquis Jingbian’s prisoner-offering team has arrived!

"How magnificent, Marquis Jingbian!"

The muscular man who spoke just now was so excited that he couldn't help but raise his glass of wine, slap the window sill, and cheer loudly.

Feng Quji and Li Si couldn't help but turn their heads to look. Han Xin, who was sitting on the horse, seemed to have heard the movement upstairs. He turned his head slightly and looked over with sideways eyes.

When the strong man saw Han Xin, his face turned red with excitement and he raised his glass from afar.

"Congratulations to the Marquis of Jingbian, congratulations to the Great Qin——"

After speaking, drink it up!

Han Xin seemed to understand what he meant and nodded slightly at him from a distance.

With Han Xin's response, the strong man was as excited as drinking wine and turned around to look around at his friends.

"That's what a man should be like! Next year, I want to join the army, go to the border to make achievements, and with the long sword in my hand, I also want to fight for great wealth..."

No one is surprised by this friend's bold words.

After all, General Meng Tian said this when he conquered the Hetao. His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun also said this when he swept across Mobei and pacified the Yuezhi——

Everyone is used to it.

When the alcohol wears off, maybe his thoughts will fade away again. After all, not long ago, this guy was still clamoring to be the lackey of His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson and work hard for the eldest emperor's grandson.

Tianxiang Pavilion was originally not far from the imperial palace, but when we arrived at this place, we were already within the scope of the imperial palace.

A few people were watching the excitement when they saw a Forbidden Army roaring towards them with halberds in hand.

But the welcoming team from the palace has arrived!
"His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun came out to greet us in person!"

Looking at the dark clouds and snow in front of him, which was a height above all the horses, and the emperor's eldest grandson sitting on the horse, who was also a head taller than all the elites of the Forbidden Army, Wan Yi couldn't help but look excited.

What an honor this must be!

"Long live your highness, long live your highness..."

Zhao Ying's appearance immediately caused a commotion, and even louder cheers came from the crowd.The sound waves got louder and louder, gradually spreading to all directions.Zhao Ying couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his eye.

Fortunately, we were in the Qin Dynasty. If it were another dynasty, if you dared to shout like this in public, especially so close to the palace, you would have killed me.

However, he still smiled and raised his arms and shouted.

"Long live the Qin Dynasty, long live your Majesty——"

"Long live the Qin Dynasty, long live your Majesty——"

"..."

For a time, everyone was watching.

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Ying and Han Xin, the pair of monarchs and ministers.

Just when everyone thought that after a few simple greetings, the two would lead Han Xin into the palace to present the prisoners, they saw Han Xin suddenly jump off the horse, take two quick steps, and kneel directly in front of Zhao Ying's horse.

"Your Majesty, Han Xin, fortunately you have lived up to your command!"

Fortunately, life is not disgraceful!

As soon as these words came out, Feng Quji couldn't help but frown slightly, while Li Si looked at Han Xin who was kneeling in front of Zhao Ying with some surprise, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

As prime ministers of the Qin Dynasty, the two of them knew better than anyone else the weight of these four words.

What does this mean?
This shows that Han Xin’s achievements today are all due to the arrangements of His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun!

Han Xin is giving in credit!
Regardless of whether it is the arrangement of His Highness the Emperor's Grandson, with Han Xin's words today and his unabashed performance today, the Emperor's Grandson's reputation will rise again, and from then on, he will completely establish his position as No. 1 in the army.

It's much closer to that location, even within easy reach.

It is even very possible that after this battle, His Majesty will express his opinion about that position!
At this time, the two people had different thoughts.

Zhao Ying reined in the reins somewhat unexpectedly, and looked at Han Xin kneeling in front of his horse, with a smile on his lips.

Jumping off the horse, Zhao Ying walked a few steps quickly, walked up to Han Xin, held Han Xin's arm with his own hands, and helped Han Xin up with a very moved expression.

"General Han, thank you for your hard work!"

Although Han Xin's entry into Yuyang was his arrangement, and targeting Donghu was also his intention, Han Xin destroyed Donghu by his own efforts. Even if Han Xin took all the credit, there would be no problem.

But today Han Xin would not refuse the credit.

After all, at this most sensitive stage, he really needs the blessing of this contribution. As for Han Xin, he will make up for it in the future!

Han Xin destroyed a country with the power of one county, completely eliminated the border troubles of Donghu, expanded the territory thousands of miles, and personally escorted the king of Donghu to Xianyang to offer prisoners. This was a great achievement.In order to show the court's favor, he first sent two prime ministers out of the city to welcome him in person, and now he asked Zhao Ying to welcome him out of the palace gate on his behalf.

The grace and glory are unparalleled.

At this time, he was wearing formal clothes and sitting majestically in the main hall of Zhangtai Palace, waiting for Zhao Ying and Feng Quji to lead Han Xin in to present prisoners. Then he heard the cheers of mountains and tsunamis coming from outside. Woolen cloth.

At first it was "Long Live the Emperor's Grandson", but soon it became uniformly "Long Live the Qin Dynasty, Long Live Your Majesty".

And the sound became more and more uniform and louder, like waves, spreading into Zhangtai Palace one after another.

"This brat——"

Although he was cursing, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that couldn't be concealed.

"Your Majesty has decreed that Marquis Jingbian has made great contributions to the country. He can wear a sword and go straight into the main hall——"
