The unprecedented grand master class ceremony was held as scheduled outside Xianyang City.
The 100,000 troops who returned from the South China Sea were stationed in Xianyang Plain twenty miles north and south and ten miles east and west in accordance with the laws of the Qin Dynasty.
Han Xin and his generals led some of their soldiers through a passage consisting of 16,000 vehicles, dozens of miles of gatehouses and a huge honor guard, and arrived outside Xianyang City.
They crossed the Hengqiao and gathered under the colorful flags outside the Hengmen.
Han Xin walked to the middle of the Wei Bridge, reined in the horse's head, and looked down at the surging Wei River. There were boats and boats on the river. He looked up at the Xianyang capital in front of him, which stood tall and spectacular.
Feeling the difference between the Central Plains and the South China Sea for the first time, his mood suddenly became very complicated.
When he was in Huaiyin County, he was still a down-and-out man who was bullied by his neighbors. If Zhao Hao hadn't sent someone to find him, he might still be waiting for an opportunity in Huaiyin County, and he wouldn't have risen to prominence later and went south to conquer Baiyue.
This further strengthened his determination to follow Zhao Hao.
But now, he suddenly felt anxious. He didn't know how Zhao Hao across the river would view his behavior.
The plan to unify the South China Sea was clearly formulated by Zhao Hao. He just unified the South China Sea according to Zhao Hao's plan.
This unprecedentedly grand class teacher ceremony seemed not to belong entirely to him.
After crossing the Wei Bridge, Ke Bei whispered to him to dismount and walk.
He looked up and saw three court ministers standing in front of him.
The accompanying Sima introduced them one by one to Han Xin. When he learned that Zhao Hao did not come to greet him, he couldn't help but feel uneasy, and he only gave a perfunctory salute to the three court ministers:
"The last general, Han Xin, has met three ministers!"
"hehe."
Li Si chuckled, stepped forward and said in return, "I've heard about General Han for a long time, and now I see him with extraordinary bearing."
"Prime Minister Li thanked you."
Han Xin replied calmly, and then fell silent.
Feng Quji and Ying Feng on the side had flashing eyes and didn't say a word.
The atmosphere instantly became awkward.
Li Si, on the other hand, was extremely calm. He asked Han Xin about the military affairs and the civil affairs of the South China Sea, and also specifically told Han Xin what the DPRK should pay attention to.
Han Xin, who had always been cold and arrogant, didn't say a word except for his repeated promises.
The entire reception procedure entered the next step in an awkward yet solemn atmosphere.
Accompanied by the majestic music unique to Da Qin, Hu Hai stood up from his seat, walked to the stage, raised Han Xin's arm with one hand, and raised the ceremonial sword with the other. In accordance with the tradition of Da Qin kings welcoming heroes, he faced the soldiers in the audience. call out:
"From now on, all the counties in the South China Sea will completely belong to our Great Qin. Qin and Yue will be as close as brothers and share peace!"
The audience immediately burst into earth-shaking shouts:
"Great Qin is mighty!"
"Long live the prince!"
When entering the city, the imperial court specially arranged carriages for the Nanhai generals, following Hu Hai's carriage.
In order to win over Han Xin, Hu Hai specially asked Han Xin to ride in a carriage with him, and kept asking Han Xin about the situation in the South China Sea along the way.
Han Xin still didn't say a word until Hu Hai closed his mouth in embarrassment.
At this moment, Hu Hai deeply felt the importance of military power for the first time.
And Li Si also felt the same way as him.
For the first time, Li Si felt vaguely regretful. If he had not attacked the Meng brothers, his position in the court would have been even stronger.
Even if he develops his own power in the army early, he will not be plotted by Feng Quji and dare not touch him.
And while they were welcoming Han Xin into the palace for the court meeting, Zhao Hao was sleeping happily in the room.
Yesterday, Feng Jie came to see him and said a lot of incomprehensible words, which made him almost break the guard on the spot. After sending Feng Jie away, he returned to Chunan Pavilion without stopping and informed Ying Zheng of the matter.
Ying Zheng was also baffled after hearing this.
In the end, the father and son decided unanimously that the Feng family would no longer be used.
And just when Zhao Hao was about to stay in Chu Nan Pavilion and have a pleasant sleep, Young Master Jiang Lu came to the door again, obviously because of Ying Yinman's matter.
Although Zhao Hao was extremely sleepy at the time, due to the feelings between brothers, he could only cheer up and listen to the young master general Lu describing his difficulties.
But in fact, he didn't listen to a word of the difficulties that Young Master Jiang Lu said.
It was not until Haishi that Zhao Hao was relieved and returned to his bedroom.
Originally, Princess Yingluo, who was serving Zhao Hao, wanted to get close to Zhao Hao. After all, Zhao Hao only verbally agreed to take her on the tour, and there was no actual arrangement. Therefore, she felt that she needed to have an in-depth exchange with Zhao Hao.
Unfortunately, before she could help Zhao Hao take off his clothes, Zhao Hao fell asleep on the bed.
Until now, the four brothers Gongzi Liang came to Zhao Hao's bedroom in a hurry.
To be honest, today Zhao Hao went to Xianyang Palace to host the court meeting, and there was no chance for them to participate. The most they could do was send Zhao Hao to Xianyang Palace, and then enjoy the treatment as King Qin's brother outside the palace.
Not to mention that the guards in the palace must treat them with respect, even the ministers of the court must salute respectfully when they see them.
This is different from the usual treatment of princes.
When Ying Zheng presided over the imperial meeting, they were not even qualified to approach Xianyang Palace.
Because they were so excited, they stayed up all night. The four brothers got together and drank all night. It was not until Yin Shi that they took a shower and changed clothes under the service of the palace attendants. They came to Zhao Hao's bedroom on time and waited for Zhao Hao to get up to attend. Great court meeting.
However, as Zhao Hao's good brothers, they knew their little brother very well. If no one reminded him, he would probably fall asleep and wake up naturally.
It won't be until noon at the earliest.
Sure enough, when the four brothers came to the door, Zhao Hao was still sleeping soundly in the room.
Princess Yingluo, on the other hand, had known that her father was going to Xianyang Palace to host a court meeting today, so she woke up early, put on her clothes, and waited for someone to come over.
The next moment she heard movement outside the door, Princess Yingluo ushered the four brothers into the room and said casually: "You guys wake him up, I'll prepare breakfast!"
"this"
The four brothers looked at each other, worried, but no one went to wake Zhao Hao.
Just kidding, if you disturb Hao Di's sleep at this time, with his temper, he will definitely hold a grudge.
"Brother Six! How long did you talk to Hao Di last night? Why is he so tired? Otherwise, you go wake up Hao Di. You are the one who caused the trouble anyway!"
Gongzi Liang signaled to Gongzi that he would lead the way.
The other two brothers agreed.
"I don't want it!" Young Master Jiang Lu shook his head repeatedly.
It is undeniable that he did talk a lot to Zhao Hao last night, but this does not mean that Zhao Hao still wants to listen to his voice.
After all, after talking so much last night, Zhao Hao was already a little impatient.
He is still self-aware.
Some things are too much and too little is too much.
After much pushing and pushing, Princess Yingluo finally woke up her 'dad' when she came back with breakfast.
As the four brothers expected, Zhao Hao was awakened by someone at this time, and his mood was really bad, and his whole face looked gloomy and scary.
The four brothers secretly speculated that this was because of the Minyue Princess who was ambiguous with their brother Hao. If it were one of them, he would have thrown something at her.
"What time is it now?"
Zhao Hao asked gloomily after waking up.
Young Master Liangtan smiled and replied: "It's approaching Yin time, Brother Hao."
After finishing speaking, he suddenly thought of something and added: "The imperial meeting is about to be held."
"The Great Court Meeting? Oh, yes, there is also the Great Court Meeting."
After hearing about the meeting, Zhao Hao's tense expression relaxed a little, and he sat on the edge of the bed with his forehead drawn.
Although the Qin Dynasty also had a morning dynasty system, it was not like that of later generations, requiring all civil and military officials to meet together every morning.
In Da Qin, except for the Great Court Meeting, attending court is usually quite casual.
This system was only developed for officials who needed to report matters to the emperor in person.
If it is not a particularly urgent matter, it will usually be settled with a memorial.
However, today is different.
Today's meeting is to reward the officials who have contributed to the unification of the South China Sea.
He took the towel handed by Princess Yingluo and wiped his face. He suddenly woke up a lot. Zhao Hao immediately shouted out the door: "Laifu, take the four brothers to change clothes! Wait for me in the yard!"
"Change clothes? What clothes should I change into?"
The four brothers looked puzzled and looked at Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao ignored them and drove them out. Then, with Ying Luo waiting on him, he put on the Qin King's crown clothes that had been prepared long ago.
To be honest, Zhao Hao's Qin Wang Mianfu is not much different from the Qin Wang Mianfu that Ying Zheng wore back then. It just lacks some decorative patterns. Instead, it has the five-clawed golden dragon and the dragon-patterned jade crown. Very eye-catching.
Of course, this is just Zhao Hao's own feeling. As for Yingluo, who was waiting for him to dress, she could no longer control her pretty face. Her eyes were full of energy, she bit her red lips lightly, and she was full of charm. I can't help but feel excited.
If his sanity hadn't been there, he might have had to play ball again.
Great court meeting? Whoever wants to go will go!
But having said that, it was precisely because of the restlessness in his heart that Zhao Hao became more sober.
Today is a big day and there is no room for error.
After bidding farewell to Yingluo, Zhao Hao walked out of the room alone and saw the four brothers who were equally slutty.
It seemed that they were wearing such gorgeous crown clothes for the first time. They couldn't help twisting their heads left and right, and their brows were filled with joy.
"What's the matter? There are lice on your body, haven't you scratched them enough? Do you want Laifu to scratch them for you?"
Zhao Hao joked with a half-smile.
Laifu also covered his mouth and chuckled.
These crown robes were designed by Zhao Hao himself. The style is very unique. It not only echoes the standard crown robes of the monarchs of the Qin Dynasty, but also adds new elements.
Especially the five-clawed black dragon, it is so lifelike and jaw-dropping.
"Brother Hao, this is"
Gongzi Gao was the first to express his doubts.
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "This is the latest crown uniform of my Lord and Lord of Great Qin. Are you satisfied with it, brothers?"
"Junhou!?"
The four brothers were shocked and were about to ask, but they heard Chang Wei's voice suddenly coming from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the carriage is ready!"
"coming!"
Zhao Hao responded, then smiled and waved to the four brothers: "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it in the car. Don't be late!"
After saying that, he walked straight out the door.
By the second quarter of Yinshi, Li Si and others had brought Han Xin and the generals back to Xianyang Palace.
At this time, the Political Affairs Hall of Xianyang Palace was already filled with hundreds of civil and military officials.
Because this was the first major court meeting after the death of the First Emperor, the civil and military officials in the court did not dare to be late, so they came here early. No one wanted to leave a bad impression on the prince and the King of Qin on the first day.
Although they also understand the principle of "one emperor, one courtier", judging from the current situation, it is not certain who is the emperor. If they are on the wrong team, the consequences will be disastrous!
However, until Li Si and others lined up in order and Hu Hai sat on the throne of the prince, the much-anticipated Qin Wang Hao did not appear for a long time.
As a result, the civil and military officials waiting outside the palace couldn't help but start talking privately.
Even Li Si and Feng Quji frowned at this time: In order to exercise the emperor's power a few days ago, the whole city was in trouble, and now they have dropped the chain at the critical moment. It is simply unreasonable!
"Qin Wanghao is here! Qin Wanghao is here!"
No one knew who shouted something, and all the civil and military officials outside the palace immediately silenced themselves. Under the instructions of Li Si and Feng Quji, they lined up on both sides, waiting respectfully for King Hao of Qin.
As a sound of footsteps approached from far away, the famous Young Master Hao, now King of Qin, and the four Young Master Liang brothers strode in.
"Finally here."
Hu Hai, who was sitting on the throne of the prince, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Zhao Hao also walked to the door and saw all the officials lined up on the left and right sides of the hall. He muttered in confusion: "Didn't you say it was already Yin Shi? Why are you still standing outside the hall?"
"."
The ministers were speechless and speechless for a moment.
Li Si was so angry.
Just when he was about to signal Zhao Hao in a low voice, Han Xin walked over with a smile, raised his hands and saluted: "Han Xin, meet the king!"
"Hahaha--"
When Zhao Hao saw Han Xin, he smiled heartily, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said very intimately, "Axin is finally back, and he misses me so much!"
After saying that, he hugged Han Xin and gave him a big hug without paying attention to the eyes of the ministers.
When Han Xin saw this, the anxiety in his heart was instantly wiped away. He was no longer as cold and arrogant as he was when facing Hu Haili Si, and he happily chatted with Zhao Hao.
Such a scene made all the ministers surprised and Hu Haili Si was envious.
Only Zhao Gao calmly stepped aside and waved to the little palace attendant behind him.
The little palace attendant understood immediately and left the palace calmly.
But Zhao Hao looked at Han Xin and said:
"Look! He has become thinner and darker. He has grown a lot taller, like a general."
"That's what Brother Hao said." Gongzi Liang winked at the side and said, "Brother Han is a general!"
"hehe."
When Zhao Hao and Han Xin heard this, they couldn't help but smile at each other.
The surrounding ministers were embarrassed for a while, feeling that they should not be here.
Fortunately, Young Master Gao was a very knowledgeable person. He quickly came behind Zhao Hao and reminded him in a low voice: "Brother Hao, just enter the palace."
"oh."
Zhao Hao suddenly came to his senses, nodded to Han Xin, and walked straight into the hall.
Taking a sneak peek, there were three chairs placed on the ninth floor of the main hall. The one in the middle was the dragon chair where the emperor sat. It was made by Ying Zheng's order to the Grand Master's chair designed by Zhao Hao. It was large and spacious. .
On both sides of the dragon chair, there are two smaller chairs.
Sitting on the right is Hu Hai, sitting on the left
"It should be me"
Zhao Hao saw that the chair on the left was empty and sat on it without much thought.
Hu Hai on the side widened his eyes with disbelief on his face: "Brother Thirteen, you"
"What?" Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows: "You can sit, but I can't?"
"no."
"The Queen Mother has arrived——!"
Just as Hu Hai was about to explain to Zhao Hao, a sharp shout suddenly came from outside the hall.
The ministers also filed in at this time (End of Chapter)
