Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 485: The princes of the Six Kingdoms: Life is endless and rebellion continues! (Please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)
After the execution, Zhang Handeng stood up and ordered all the prisoners to be taken outside.

Immediately afterwards, according to the protocol, the prime minister of the empire arrived in front of the palace gate on time.Behind him were the nine ministers of the empire.All the important officials of Ying Zheng at that time came.

When these people came to the underground palace, they all bowed to the palace gate without exception.

"Please greet me, late Emperor."

After the ceremony, these ministers, accompanied by Zhang Han and a group of subordinate officials, began to inspect every corner according to the drawings.

After checking that there were no mistakes, Zhang Han inspected the underground palace for the last time. He personally ordered the palace door to be closed, and then began to seal the outer palaces.

One palace door after another was heavily closed.

There will be no sound in the underground palace from now on.

The emperor who shocked the past and the present will sleep peacefully underground.

Hearing the creaking door being slammed shut, everyone felt a sense of sadness and indignation.

The soldiers of Qin State are willing to die for Qin Huang.

But now Emperor Qin dies first!
For the soldiers of the empire, this was an unbearable thing. When the sword hanging above their heads disappeared, their inner faith also disappeared for a time.

After a year, the underground palace was finally sealed, and the next step was to fill the burial pit with thousands of troops.

Such a large-scale burial chamber made Feng Quji and the others gasp in amazement when they looked down from the high platform.

The burial pit room stretches as far as the eye can see, with only the Qin army in the distance standing on the edge like small black dots as a boundary.

Feng Quji was in a very happy mood today. He was the one to supervise the completion of such a huge project, and he will stay on top of this mausoleum.

Recently, he has regained his former status in the court, below one person and above ten thousand people. The respect of all officials for him has returned to its former state, so his face has regained its former shrewd, capable and capable look, and his eyes are particularly special. sharp.

"His Majesty has made great contributions for thousands of years. Only a mausoleum of this scale is enough to rest the soul of the late emperor."

After saying that, he took Zhuqing back to return to his orders.

Zhang Han has finished repairing the underground palace, and then there is the finishing work of filling the pit.

There are also strict regulations on the placement of burial pit rooms.

"How much less do we have in terms of the number of terracotta warriors and horses?"

As Zhang Han's right-hand man, Ban Yue, who is lean and has a sharp face, thought for a moment and said:

"According to the quantity specified by the late emperor, at least half of it cannot be made on time."

Zhang Han was naturally dissatisfied after hearing this.

"Can it be completed within half a year?"

Ban Yue shook his head.

"What we need now is not coolies, but skilled craftsmen. The 30 prisoners are just coolies digging into the pits. But now it is the craftsmen who really want to make the pottery figurines. Coolies are easy to come by, but these craftsmen are hard to find. Ah. With the number of craftsmen we currently have, half a year's work is not enough to complete the production of thousands of troops. Especially those barrel carts, the production process is complicated and precise, and it takes a long time."

After hearing this, Zhang Han's forehead was covered with haze, and he quickly took Ban Yue to an uninhabited corner.

"As you know, His Majesty wants me to finish the work as soon as possible, but I can't lose my temper in front of the courtiers. What do you think we should do now? If it is delayed again, I'm afraid what His Majesty wants is not to seal the tomb, but to seal the tomb for the rest of us. My head is gone."

Ban Yue didn't show any horror after hearing this. This was the second generation, not the first emperor.

Ban Yue hesitated for a long time.

"If not, make pottery figurines according to our Qin country's method of making crossbows and crossbows."

"Is it possible?"

"Nowadays, time is tight and costs are tight, so you can give it a try."

Zhang Han circled around the corner with the sword on his waist, and he cut off the cobwebs quickly.

Zhang Han was the Shaofu and was in charge of the palace and treasury. He knew that the delay in building the First Emperor's Mausoleum would affect His Majesty's New Deal.

A few days ago, His Majesty the Emperor advocated simplicity in the palace. Although he was praised by many people, this incident also put greater pressure on Zhang Han.

As the Young Master, he could not resolve the matter as quickly as possible, but instead allowed it to drag down the Qin State and His Majesty the Emperor's New Deal.

Zhang Han is not a person who only cares about his official duties. He always attaches great importance to the overall situation of the empire.

Under pressure, Zhang Han frowned and asked:
"What are you going to do?"

"Division of labor completed."

"Division of labor? This is very fast, but this is making pottery figurines, is it possible? The requirements for the crossbows and arrows are exactly the same, but each pottery figurine is not allowed to be repeated."

Ban Yue stroked his beard and frowned in thought:
"First use a pottery mold to make the first child. This is the first process. It is not difficult. The prisoners can also use it, which shortens the construction period. Then it is covered with a layer of fine mud for processing, engraving and coloring. Some are burned first. Afterwards, some are connected first and then burned, and both craftsmen and prisoners can take office. As long as the color and hardness are guaranteed, it can be handed over to the Prime Minister and Jiu Qing for review."

Zhang Han nodded.

"When the tomb is completed, Dazhu Kingdom will come to see it in person. When the time comes, we will not allow any mistakes."

"Humblely obey."

"If you accomplish this, you and I will be rewarded heavily."

Ban Yue bowed:
"Don't worry, Master."

……

Zhao Di, Handan City.

In front of the gate of Handan City is a vast land.Spring has arrived, and apart from the dense vegetation and numerous insects and snakes in the distant mountains, there is a beautiful scenery everywhere near the places where people live.

Especially the vast land in front of the Handan City Gate is covered with greenery, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Twenty years ago, rivers of blood flowed in front of the gate of Handan City, corpses were strewn across the fields, and wolf smoke bordered the fields. The wails of the Zhao people and the roars of the Qin people blended together for one day, becoming a mixed sound between heaven and earth.

Now, in this world, there is silence, only the sound of birds chirping and horses neighing.

In front of the city gate, there is a river, and there are several woodcutters walking towards the city carrying firewood by the river.

Facing the sun, there is something sparkling in the firewood.

The city wall of the motherland has long been destroyed. Next to the broken wall, there is a willow tree.There are red cloth strips hanging on the willow tree, which are tied for the newborn child of my family. The tree is full of red cloth strips.

It's just that there are still shiny round square-hole coins tied to this patch. These coins will all be brand new.

Red cloth strips were passed through it and then tied to the trees. When the spring breeze blew, they made a tinkling sound, which sounded together with the rising river water.

Some women were also picking mulberries and fruits outside the city. They wore plain clothes and were quite beautiful.

Handan City is clearly recovering.

The woodcutter entered the city smoothly, his face covered with sweat. When he arrived at home, he immediately took out the basket of firewood on his back. At the bottom of the basket was a square hard object wrapped in black cloth.

He looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then hung it in the well to prevent it from being discovered by other people in the family.

In this family, fetching water is what he does.

When it was dark, the woodcutter used the moonlight to confirm again and again that his wife was sleeping soundly. Then he walked to the well, lifted the bucket, stretched out his hand to touch it, and found that it was soft. After touching it again, he felt Hard object.

The woodcutter took out both things, and then Moonlight realized that he had also caught a frog.The woodcutter threw the frog back into the well, then held the hard object tied up in black cloth and walked carefully to the study.

He walked carefully, Mingyue Langlang, pushed away the bed and walked towards the cellar.

In the cellar, seven people had already arrived.

The leader sat in front of the lacquer table, dressed in ordinary clothes, he looked like a scholar, but his whole body temperament made people daunting.

The other six people were all wearing linen clothes, with tops and bottoms, typical Zhao attire.They hold swords in their hands and stand with their hands behind their backs. Their eyes are wide open and their evil aura is exposed, making people afraid to look directly at them.

The man sitting An became anxious when he saw what the woodcutter was holding. He almost jumped up, but was pushed back by the clan uncle behind him.

"Don't be impatient."

"Mr. Chen Yu, where are the things?"

This woodcutter was not a woodcutter at all, he was a Confucian knight. He had high cheekbones and bright eyes. Hearing these words made him feel doubly useful.

"Your Majesty, this is it."

The woodcutter carefully placed the hard object wrapped in black cloth on the table, and then opened it quietly. What was revealed to everyone was a jade seal carved with a tiger and a python.

Zhao Xie stood up directly. He held the jade seal and looked left and right by the candlelight. There were red lines in the jade seal, which was very elegant. It was their family treasure.

Seeing Zhao Xie so obsessed with this baby, with blurred eyes, made Chen Yu feel unhappy.

Soon, another door of the cellar suddenly opened, and an energetic old man came out.

When everyone saw this old man with half black and half white hair, but a heroic face, they all bowed and bowed:
"I've met Mr. Zhang Er."

Zhang Er's face was solemn, he bowed to everyone, and then turned his gaze to Chen Yu.

Zhang Er and Chen Yu have been friends for many years. When they met, they could communicate with each other just by looking at each other.

It's just that Zhang Er saw that Zhao Xie showed such an expression when he saw a piece of jade seal, and he was slightly displeased.

Zhao Xie held the baby and looked left and right carefully. Finally, he held the seal with one hand, raised his chest and said to all the people:
"It is an ancestral inheritance of my surname Zhao."

After saying that, Zhao Xie walked up to Chen Yu and said respectfully:

"Mr. Chen Yu helped me a lot today. I will definitely use Mr. Chen Yu again in the future."

Chen Yu hurriedly said:

"I'm just trying my best. I still rely on Patriarch Zhao to cover up my identity and settle in Handan City for me. If there is no patriarch to open up the relationship, I'm afraid it will not be easy for me today."

Zhao Xie stroked his beard and said sincerely:

"Sir, you risked your life to bring this jade seal back from your hometown in Daichi for me. I am grateful to you, and I also ask you to pay me my respects."

Chen Yu hurriedly bowed in return:

"The patriarch is so polite."

Zhao Xie stood up and laughed heartily and said to the two counselors:
"Now that I have two great scholars like Zhang Er and Chen Yu, why worry about failure of this big event?"

After all, Zhang Er is older, and when he was young, he was a frequent guest of Wei Gongzi Wuji (Jun Xinling).It is said that a hero comes from a young age. Later, because of his fame, he was ordered to be killed by Qin Shihuang. He had no choice but to escape all the way.

Now it is because they have received news that Zhao Guo is ready to resist, so he comes to help with the uprising.

Zhang Er Surong said:

"The reason I'm late is because I just got some news."

Zhao Xiesurong:

"The Qin army made a big move today and moved closer to Handan City. I'm afraid the time delay was too long. The news spread to the city and my soldiers became afraid. I wonder if it is related to this matter?"

Zhang Er nodded:

"The Second Emperor of Qin is coming to Handan, the land of Zhao."

Zhao Xie looked horrified after hearing this.

"When will you arrive in Handan?"

Zhang Er shook his head.

But when Chen Yu heard this, instead of showing horror, he actually showed curiosity.

"The Second Emperor of Qin came to Handan? Why?"

"It is said that I want to express condolences to the generals. There are 30 troops stationed in Zhao. They used to be scattered in various places, but now they are gathered together, saying that they are going to be inspected by Qin II."

"Military parade? How many troops will he mobilize?"

"This matter is a secret in the military, and the expert is only willing to tell me so much."

Zhao Xie had been preparing for a long time, and he was very repulsed by the bad news that fell from the sky.

"Is the news reliable?"

"I got this information from an expert. He has friends with famous people all over the world and is always well-informed. Moreover, all famous people in the world have heard of this person's name."

Zhao Xie and Chen Yu looked at each other.

Zhao Xie took the initiative to ask:
"Could it be Zhang Liang?"

Zhang Er nodded.

"It's this person. How could Patriarch Zhao know about him?"

"There are many guests in my house, and some people have made friends with Zhang Liang. It is said that he has been walking around Handan City recently. I, Zhao Di, have many knights. He came here because he has a plan."

Chen Yu is the youngest among these people and the most energetic.

"Mr. Zhang Liang, he once assassinated the first emperor of Qin, and the first emperor tried his best to kill him for ten days. I've always been surprised by him, but I really want to meet him."

Zhang Er shook his head.

"It's best that we don't see this person right now."

Chen Yu was puzzled.

"Since he has come to Handan, why can't we meet him?"

Zhao Xie was also confused.

"Is it possible that this person is planning to repeat his old tricks again?"

Zhang Er stroked his beard.

"Although he didn't say clearly why he came this time, since he is here, he shouldn't come back empty-handed. I think he will make a big move this time. Regardless of whether he succeeds this time, he will create panic in Zhao. When the time comes, we can take advantage of the opportunity.”

Zhao Xie listened, but he waved his hand.

"Zhang Liang can be considered a chivalrous man, but he is traveling around the world to revive Korea. He came to see me in the early years. I didn't see him because Korea was unable to resist Qin. Now he is here again. If Handan City wants to regain Korea, they will definitely come to me for help."

"But he hasn't had the intention to see me so far. It can be seen that he is not here to restore the country. Since it is not for the restoration of the country, then he may not come to Handan to assassinate the Second Emperor."

Chen Yu also said:

"Yeah, maybe this is just a coincidence. If he can't assassinate Emperor Qin, then our waiting will be in vain."

Chen Yu was also a little anxious.

Zhang Er took the initiative and said:

"Now the princes and kings of the world are waiting for Zhao to move first, and then Chu, Wei, and Qi will move according to the agreement. But I don't think Zhao needs to rush to launch a counterattack at this time."
