In Hangu Camp, the handsome tent built with gorgeous black dragon brocade is particularly unique.
The Qin State values frugality and abstains from extravagance. Under normal circumstances, if anyone dared to use brocade to camp, he would have been impeached long ago, but there is one person who will not be impeached.
That is the owner of this handsome tent, the only person in the entire Great Qin who can build a tent with black dragon brocade.
Looking around Ying Zheng's handsome tent, the main materials are black dragon brocade and gilt copper. The interior is luxurious and even sprayed with powder to prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants. There are maids and chamberlains standing by.
The entire handsome tent is divided into four independent spaces. One is used to handle official documents sent from Xianyang and military affairs. The other three are used for daily life, including bedrooms, bathrooms and toilets.
The bed, tables and other daily necessities in the tent are all obviously made by Shaofu craftsmen.
"Your Majesty, you said you came here for winter hunting, and I believe you."
Even Zhang Ji couldn't help but exclaimed when Ying Zheng's handsome tent was decorated, this is not a war, it's clearly just for enjoyment.
If it were a different person, Zhang Ji would directly arrest him in the name of Luowang and send him to Luowang Prison.
"This black dragon brocade was sent by Father Zhong."
Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly, naturally he would not be so extravagant, but Lu Buwei suddenly changed his mind before setting off and returned the identity of the army coach to Ying Zheng, hoping that Ying Zheng would fight this battle as the coach.
Lu Buwei believed that his method of leading the army was not necessarily better than that of Wang Yan, Meng Ao and others. Instead of occupying the position of commander, it would be better to give it to Ying Zheng, who needed more prestige. Therefore, he asked the imperial censor Wang Wanze to accompany the army as the chief of the army, while he chose to stay in Yinjincheng, that is, as the prime minister and the army commander Shi, he coordinated the transfer of materials between Xianyang and the army at the Hangu Pass front line. To ensure the logistical supplies of the Qin army, we also guard Pubanjin to the north of Yinjincheng.
As the commander-in-chief of the army, it doesn't matter that Ying Zheng doesn't know how to fight. He is assisted by famous Qin generals such as Wang Jue, Meng Ao, Yang Duanhe, and Xin Sheng. As long as Ying Zheng doesn't interfere in the war without being a micromanager, it will be fine.
Moreover, the biggest role of having the dignified King Qin as the commander is to boost morale.
Therefore, everyone must know that the King of Qin personally went to the front line to command the army. Out of this consideration, Lu Buwei sent the black dragon brocade and gilt copper pillars that the young master had to rush to make overnight, and decorated Ying Zheng's handsome tent extremely luxuriously. The gilded copper pillars told all Qin soldiers that the King of Qin was with them.
"The interior layout of the commander's tent was all arranged by his mother." Faced with Zhang Ji's slightly teasing words of condemnation, Ying Zheng changed the topic, "Except for the fact that the master's tent is not made of black dragon brocade and gilded copper pillars, the government's There are handsome tents, sir, and everyone has a copy."
In the handsome tent, all eyes suddenly fell on Zhang Ji.
Wang Yan, Yang Duanhe, Xin Sheng and others all looked at Zhang Ji. Although the Qin State is frugal and avoids luxury, who doesn't like to live in a better place?
Ying Zheng is the King of Qin, so they can't morally condemn him, but Zhang Ji...
"Ahem." Zhang Ji coughed and said righteously, "I was born in the Wei State. The Wei State is inherently luxurious. When Huiwen's ancestors, Zhang Zi and Wei Gongzi Zhang sent troops to Hanzhong to confront the Chu army across Danshui. Didn’t he also bring fine wine and female musicians? In the end, why not capture and kill Chu army general Qu Gai, capture Chu general Fenghou Chou and more than 70 people, behead 80,000 people, and seize all the land in Hanzhong?"
"It can be seen that those who achieve great things do not stick to... er... small details."
Wang Yan, Yang Duanhe and Xin Sheng surrounded him directly, their eyes becoming more and more evil.
"In this case, I am over seventy years old, and my bones are getting worse and worse. I slept hard last night and my back is sore. I believe that you are young and strong, and you have also practiced martial arts. Your soft couch, I I just accepted it."
After that, without waiting for Zhang Ji to say anything, he directly ordered his bodyguards to go to Zhang Ji's tent and move his couch to his own tent. He also very considerately ordered his bodyguards to deliver his couch to Zhang Ji's tent. , saving Zhang Ji the trouble of finding someone to move it.
Zhang Ji immediately opened his eyes and looked at Wang Ye.
"Why, you kid won't give it?"
Wang Ye frowned and stared at Zhang Ji.
Although Zhang Ji was favored by Ying Zheng, as a senior general of the Qin State and an old man over seventy years old, he sometimes acted rogue. Let alone Zhang Ji, Ying Zheng had nothing to do with him.
According to Qin law, elderly people over seventy years old can receive monthly pension subsidies from the government, and they do not even need to bow to the county officials when they see them. If someone is sued, they must file a lawsuit three times in a row before the government will accept the case. Even if the old man is guilty of betrayal in the end, he will be dealt with lightly.
Therefore, if Wang Ye wanted to play rogue, Zhang Ji really couldn't do anything with him.
At that time, Wang Yan lay down on the ground and said that Zhang Ji had beaten the old man, and Zhang Ji would have to bear the reputation of abusing the old man.
With Wang Ye's good start, Yang Duan and this old man in his fifties would naturally not be polite. When Wang Ye and Zhang Ji were confronting, he had already sneaked out and wandered around Zhang Ji's tent, and I didn’t come back empty-handed.
"Hehe, this brocade quilt is quite warm, just right for an old man like me. In addition, this tea set and desk look good to me. General Meng Ao likes to drink tea, so I took them away for him first."
Xin Sheng, who was nearly fifty years old, looked around. He originally didn't want to take advantage of Zhang Ji, but he felt that everyone had taken it, and he seemed a bit out of place if he didn't take it.
But he was not interested in those luxurious decorations. The only things left were the bathtub and the toilet... After thinking about it again and again, Xin Sheng left the handsome tent and came back with a huge piece of cloth.
"General Xin Sheng, why did you just take a piece of cloth? Isn't this kid too cheap?"
Wang Ye patted Xin Sheng on the shoulder. As expected, Xin Sheng had always been an honest and kind-hearted person, and he still couldn't help but steal the opportunity. But suddenly, Wang Ye's eyes froze, and he felt that the things in front of him seemed familiar.
"Wait, this seems to be Shu brocade?"
Wang Ye suddenly realized that his family had many Shu brocades given to him by the former kings Zhaoxiang, Xiaowen, Zhuangxiang and Lu Buwei.
Shu brocade has always been known as "every inch of brocade is gold." This price is only in Guanzhong and Jingchu. If it is placed in the Central Plains or even in remote Yanzhao and Wuyue, the price can increase dozens of times.
And such a large piece of Sichuan brocade is probably worth a lot of money...
"Wait a minute, General Xin, where did you get this Shu Brocade?"
"Pfft hahahaha."
Yang Duanhe on the side finally couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.
"General Xin, you took away this boy's tent cloth. You are more ruthless than me and General Wang Jue!"
Unlike Wang Yan, Yang Duanhe personally visited Zhang Ji's camp. Naturally, he recognized where this huge piece of Shu brocade came from and gave Xin Sheng a thumbs up.
This is like plucking the feathers of a goose and leaving the skin when an animal leaves. I directly demolished this kid’s tent. What a real person!
Feeling the resentful look from Zhang Ji, Xin Sheng touched the back of his head and said with some embarrassment.
"Well, the only things left in the camp are the bathtub and the toilet. I...I'm not interested in the bathtub and the toilet."
Zhang Ji took a deep breath and his hands trembled. Behind him, Li Xin, Qiang Yu, Yang Wengzi, Wang Ben and other young generals could not help laughing.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile when he saw this "harmonious" scene. He no longer had the worries he had when he was thinking about the war situation.
