Chapter 24 The Streets of Xianyang
The scholars were divided into left and right, and Yun Yue had never been to the court. I don't know whether I should stand in the pile of Wenchen or in the group of military generals.
Wang Jian understood a little when he saw Yun Yue's appearance, and dragged Yun Yue into the group of generals with a pull. The Wang family was originally a family of Great Qin military generals, and the clan uncle Wang Ya and Wang Ling were both generals, and they had a high prestige in the Qin army. Seeing him cut in line, the people behind him didn't say anything. Just take two steps back, give up your position, and stop.
The palace door slowly opened, and the Great Qin guards stood on both sides with their armor in their bodies. There is a column of civil officials and a column of military generals. Under the leadership of Lu Buwei and Yang Quanjun respectively, they slowly entered, and everyone's expressions were solemn and solemn, and there was no trace of the ridicule just now.
There were long steps in front of the Xuan room, and Yun Yue didn't count many steps. It's just that Lu Buwei and Yang Quanjun at the front of the team walked in, and the last person happened to be on the steps.
The Xuan Chamber, the core center of the Great Qin Dynasty. Every major military event is decided here, and then sent to the various counties of Daqin. Resolutions to attack the Six Kingdoms have been formed here, and it can be said that this is the control center of the Great Qin machine.
The ministers entered, and there was not a sound in the empty hall. Just now in front of the palace gate, hiccuping, farting and spitting, it seems that they are all another group of people. Today's people are all sanctimonious. The young are resolute and handsome, and the old ones are highly respected. This is still a guy with a beard and wine stains, but he says that he doesn't drink at all. The floor of the main hall is covered with solid maple floors, which are very comfortable to step on. There seems to be a fire dragon running underneath, and the sky where the dog is frozen to death outside, the huge hall is actually as warm as spring, which makes people feel drowsy.
Didn't sleep well last night. Yun Yue quietly retreated to the corner with her back to the pillar. Anyway, I'm here to make soy sauce today, so I can recuperate my spirit to deal with Yangquanjun's banquet. Secretly smoothed the cushion on the mat next to him, and sat under his back to a buttocks, which was very comfortable.
The bearded man who was walking along the cushion next to him was touched around. I just saw Yun Yue's evil deeds. Then some of the attendants announced loudly: "The court will meet you, and the ministers will give gifts!" The bearded man hurriedly bowed down and shook himself deeply from head to toe.
Yun Yue did the same, but he sat down without waiting for the waiter to shout again. Anyway, behind the pillars, no one can see it.
King Zhuang Xiang came out, dressed in a black dress. He also wears a crown adorned with purple gold tassels on his head. With a ceremonial sword hanging from his waist, he made a grand appearance against the shadow of two huge candle mountains.
"Greetings, Your Majesty! My King, Holy Ann! "There is no legendary mountain call long live. The courtiers just bowed to the ground.
Yun Yue leaned against the pillar, and her two legs stretched out under the desk a few times. Seeing the bearded man kneeling next to him was envious, saying that whoever was kneeling and sitting on the thing was uncomfortable who knew.
As soon as King Zhuang Xiang sat down, some old fellows with gray beards walked out. When he opened his mouth, he began to speak. The words spoken are obscure. Yun Yue's eyelids became heavier and heavier. Obviously, they understand every word they say. But together, Yun Yue couldn't understand a word.
Since your reports are like heavenly books, don't blame Lao Tzu for sleeping back. Not to mention, I don't know what kind of wine Wang Jian got last night. It's not at all top, it's not as strong as the Yun family's steamed wine. The big plug was high, and the next day he was always trying to commit suicide.
At first, I just listened with my eyelids closed, but then I realized that it was not right and my consciousness began to blur. By the time you realize it's not good, it's too late. I want to open my eyes. But the two eyelids seemed to have two pieces of lead falling. Yun Yue tried hard to open her eyes, but she couldn't do anything. Control not to let yourself fall asleep. But it was not controlled. In the end, Yun Yue and Zhou Gong were doing the most serious communication in the warm Xuan room.
Suddenly, it seemed that someone was arguing. He opened his eyes and wiped a handful of saliva from his mouth. Yun Yue raised his head and looked, the protagonists in front of Dan Fan were no longer those old men. It's Yangquanjun and Lu Buwei, they seem to be arguing about something. Because she didn't understand the cause and effect, Yun Yue took it for granted that it was a dog biting a dog.
"I, Great Qin, have been the strongest princes since Shang Jun changed the law. The king was grateful for the shame of his ancestors and was determined to destroy the Eastern Zhou Kingdom. Shame for the ancestors of Great Qin, and fight for the emperor's hegemony again. As a courtier, Buwei should sacrifice his life to serve the king. Lü Buwei made a generous statement, looking like a loyal subordinate. Yang Quanjun, who was standing opposite, had a flushed face, looking like Guan Erye.
Yun Yue's heart sank, and she finally remembered what she thought about yesterday. His own words reminded King Zhuang Xiang of the shame of the ancestors of the Qin people. This guy decided not to play according to the script of history, and now he is going to attack the Eastern Zhou Kingdom. Did I change history? Isn't that the butterfly of the Amazon?
"Hahaha! Are all my Great Qin's generals dead? Need the left minister to personally command the troops? My Great Qin has strict laws, and Zuo Xiang is responsible for governing the people internally. This campaign and killing is the responsibility of my right minister, Lu Xiangbang's hands are too long to cross the line! Yang Quanjun had already torn his face, and he didn't even want the last trace of fake harmony.
Lü Buwei was indeed excessive, picking peaches and picking them on other people's trees. If it was Yun Yue, he would let Xiaobai bite people.
"Hahaha! Although Buwei was born in a businessman, he also learned several sword moves. If you don't believe it, you can try it. Buwei is not overstepping his authority, but he is just loyal to the king. Does the king think so? ”
"Humph! Zuo Xiang ......, "Yangquanjun is in charge, the two Xiangbang actually quarreled like this, you and I said a word in court." In the end, he simply rolled up his arms, rolled up his sleeves, and pulled out the posture to be heads-up.
King Zhuang Xiang has a headache, one head has two big. Last night, I remembered that the ancestors of the Qin people were enslaved and driven by the royal family surnamed Da Zhou Ji, and I couldn't help but feel indignant in my heart. It was put forward in court today the idea of destroying the Eastern Zhou Dynasty for the shame of the ancestors. Unexpectedly, the generals of the Great Qin military all seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood. The two prime ministers were the commanders of the army and tore them apart in court.
The intentions are good, but the methods are wrong. is typical of organized and undisciplined, at least two important figures, what kind of tearing in court.
"The samurai in front of the palace, pull the two prime ministers apart." King Zhuang Xiang waved his hand, and a warrior in front of the palace stepped forward to pull the frame.
Yun Yue's jaw was about to fall when she saw it, this is a fucking Politburo meeting? The two prime ministers are like two chimpanzees in the animal world? Oops! Or Lu Buwei's hands are black, this trick monkey steals peaches...... Yun Yue gasped as she looked at it. I hope that Yang Quanjun still has the ability to favor his concubine.
The two Xiangbangs who were ripped apart, Yangquanjun was torn off a big wisp of beard. Lu Buwei had eyes like a national treasure, and his mouth was still scolding. It looks like he's suffering a little bit of a loss.
"They are all the ministers of the dynasty, and what kind of system is it to fight in court. Thinking of the two secretaries to serve the country, it is to be punished for one year to see the after-effects. The majestic voice of King Zhuang Xiang gave an order that was not majestic.
After all, one is Lu Buwei, who holds himself up with one hand and has a life-saving grace for himself. The other is Yang Quanjun, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Huayang. The Mi family has been operating in the Qin State for many years, and has controlled the government of the Great Qin Dynasty since the Empress Dowager Xuan. Soon after King Zhuang Xiang succeeded to the throne, he really couldn't afford to offend this huge political force.
"Yunhou! Yun Hou ...... "Yun Yue, who was thinking, felt that someone was pushing herself. When I looked up, it turned out to be Wang Qian. There was also the bearded general standing next to him, looking at the cushion behind Yun Yue with an unkind expression. It is estimated that he is going to trouble Yun Yue.
"The king invites Yunhou to luncheon, and we will go to the palace. You can't let the king wait. Wang Jian stepped forward and pulled Yun Yue up, gave a salute to the bearded man, and the two brothers hurriedly slipped away. The Qin people are still martial, and even above the court, they often stage full martial arts. Lü Buwei and Yangquanjun are theoretically both outsiders, but they have been influenced by the Qin people. It is still torn in court today.
"I didn't call last night. Why are you summoned today? Yun Yue followed Wang Jian out of the Xuan room and asked suspiciously. Could it be that King Zhuang Xiang has nothing to do, otherwise he summoned himself all day for Mao. If he has any wrong thoughts, Yun Yue will tell him very solemnly, thank you for not doing it!
"It's not good to offend anyone, but to offend Jian'an Hou Bai Zhan, that is to kill the descendants of God Wu Anjun." Wang Jian saw that no one was paying attention around, so he pulled Yun Yue and hid in the corner.
"So the king didn't summon him?"
"Of course there was no summons. The king was going to visit the Empress Dowager Xia in the morning. Where do I have time to see you, you and my brother are still in the palace to deal with it. I'm going to the general at noon. Brother, you are at your own convenience. "The generals who can move Wang Jian have no one else except Wang Ji and Wang Ling, presumably to summon Wang Qian, a nephew, to learn about the situation in Yushan Academy. After all, as the pillars of the Great Qin military, they had to understand whether the future king was a qualified king. If it is a second ancestor who can't be supported, it is estimated that the Great Qin military will immediately decide to support Cheng Jiao.
"Forget it!" Yun Yue was disgusted when he thought about the five ripe meats in the palace, and his mother's bloody tendons were chewing in his mouth. There was even a trace of blood ticking down the corners of his mouth, and the scene was really indescribable. Yun Yue likes the roughness of the west, but she definitely doesn't like to be a wild man who drinks blood.
Since she couldn't eat in the palace, Yun Yue felt that it would be better to return to the Yun family's shop in Xianyang. I inquired about the address from Wang Jian and heard that it was not far from the palace. He refused to be escorted by Wang Jian and left the palace on his own. Yun Yue is ready to take a look at the style of Xianyang, after all, after coming to Xianyang, he has been hugging every day, and he has not seriously contacted the first capital of the Warring States.
When they left the palace, other scholars and doctors had carriages to pick them up at the palace gate. Most of the generals also rode away on horseback, surrounded by a group of minions.
Yun Yue stayed in the palace last night, and the servants of the gathered family were all sent back. Today's Yun Yue looks lonely and lonely in front of the palace gate.
Walk south along Suzaku Street and leave the palace in a short time. The market gradually became lively, and Yun Yue curiously walked through the various stalls, as if wandering around Xidan in later generations.
Xianyang is really as prosperous as a legend, and the ears are full of shouting. All kinds of shouts come and go, and it is much more lively than Handan.
was immersed in the prosperity of history and couldn't extricate himself, when suddenly a high-octave voice screamed: "Murder! "The voice is sharp and poignant, and it makes people shudder.
The habit of Guanzhong people who like to watch the excitement has not changed for thousands of years, and when they hear that something is happening. People rushed in the direction of the sound like a tide, and Yun Yue was swept by the flow of people and couldn't help but rush there.
The crowd stops when it is more than ten steps away from the incident point, which is the best distance to see the excitement. It can maintain the best viewing angle and avoid blood spraying.
There were only five or six people in the center of the crowd, which was a huge disappointment for the onlookers. Recently, the people in Xianyang City have been fighting viciously in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and street fights are often staged. The martial Qin people are very fond of this kind of favorite leisure activities, and every bloody street is usually the best conversation for Xianyang people after tea and dinner.
Yun Yue was hugged to a relatively high position, and clearly saw that it was a strong man beating a coachman. There are many such coolies in Xianyang City, and they pull carts every day to make money. Carrying goods for their employers, etc., are their livelihoods.
The strong man was two feet tall, and he was fat and strong. In such a cold weather, I only wore a single dress. The chest was still open, revealing a palm-wide heart guard. The rolled up arms are as if they are wearing a sweater. The abundant body hair made Yun Yue very suspicious that this guy had fully evolved.
"The old lady will beat you today, how dare you. Don't play bear, get up! What surprised Yun Yue even more was that the strong man seemed to be tired from fighting. The two women next to him rushed and punched and kicked the coachman.
Yun Yue's jaw was about to fall, and the two women scolded while beating. And the scolding was worse than the man, although the man punched and kicked. But in winter, the clothes are heavy, and the seemingly heavy punches and kicks are actually limited. The woman was different, with her long nails showing nine yin white bone claws. Scratching on the face was a bloody wound, and after a short time, the coachman's face was full of scratches, and the lethality was really amazing.
The coachman was kicked and beaten and wailed, but he did not dare to fight back. just tried his best to dodge, and he didn't dare to resist even when the two women were violent.
The people of Xianyang who were watching the battle around them booed in unison, and for the Qin people, the weak did not deserve sympathy. There were even loud cheers for the perpetrators, and the screams and wails of the coachman were drowned out in bursts of laughter.
However, there were also a few discordant voices in the laughter, "What kind of ability is it for so many people to bully an honest man." ”
"That is, at first glance, it is the master who bullies the weak and fears the hard." The two guys sang and harmonized over there, although they were in the absolute minority among the onlookers. But the voice was not small, faintly overshadowing the person next to him. Yun Yue pursed her lips, on the street full of Qin dialects. These two guys' Shandong accents are very eye-catching, and today I am afraid that these two guys will have no good fruit to eat.
"Straight lady thief, what are you two thinking about?" The strong man suddenly found two guys who were talking cool in the crowd of onlookers. The huge body was unusually flexible, and it rushed over in a few big steps. Without asking too much, he swung his fist and struck it, and the big fist of the bowl was fast and urgent, like a hammer hitting the two of them in the face. (To be continued......)
