Chapter 696: Why bother? (below)
Lu Zhe was still approaching at a very slow pace, his eyes had been scanning the crowd of people who were kneeling down, and there was no excitement or enthusiasm in his eyes that many people imagined to accept the seals, maps, and rosters of the Qi State.
Is it necessary to get excited? For Lu Zhe, there was no need for that at all. He didn't limit his willingness to unify China and finish the job, he became an emperor and looked like he was waiting for death. For the demise of the Qi State, he looked at it very lightly, thinking that it was completely caused by the Tian clan such as the King of Qi, and it was not that he had not given surrender as a peaceful duke, and the conditions for the restoration of the Qi Kingdom by his heirs in the future, but the King of Qi was not happy, so what could he do?
Warm? Lu Zhe also did not have a warm mood, the pleasure brought by the surrender of Qi State, compared with listening to the news of the total annihilation of Donghu's 50,000 southbound army, he would also "hahaha......" A series of laughs expressed his happiness.
Getting closer, Lu Zhe stopped one step in front of Tian Shi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a relatively flat tone: "Lone accepts your surrender on behalf of the Qi State. ”
The consul of the Han Kingdom, that is, the ruling Xiao He, didn't seem to feel anything to be excited about, and he also shouted in a relatively flat tone: "Qi Xian Wang Xi!" ”
In Xiao He's shout, Tian Shi handed over the plate in his hand, and Lu Zhe reached out to take it.
Lu Zhe, who held the plate in his hand with one hand, picked up the seal covered with a black cloth with his other hand, and there were six seals on it, the largest of which was a large seal about five centimeters square. He casually handed the plate to a soldier next to him, and then examined the seal.
The seal of King Qi is carved from an unknown jade, and the carving on it is not too complicated, but it seems to have an inexplicable religious color? The inscription on the seal is not a small seal used by the Qin people, it seems to be a seal font that belongs specifically to the use of the Qi people, and it is simply engraved with the words "Qi Chuan Seal".
The so-called heirloom seal is the heirloom seal, and every country has one. The remaining five smaller seals are the king's seal, the soldier's seal, the letter seal, the line seal, and the sacrificial seal, each of which has its own purpose. For example, the military seal is required to be stamped when the edict is sent to the army, and the seal is required to be stamped when appointing a hundred officials, and so on.
Lu Zhe himself also has six seals carved from jade, and each of them is made of priceless precious jade as a material, but the words on the seal are a bit weird, a kind of simplified Chinese character of Lishu......
Accepting the six seals offered by Tian Shi, Lu Zhe looked at it for a while, then put it back on the plate and covered it with a black cloth, and then motioned to Shusun Tong, the ceremonial officer, to take it.
Uncle Sun Tong was unusually excited, he accepted the plate containing the six seals, and held it high to "show the public". This was accompanied by a burst of "The King is mighty!" The Han army is mighty! slogans.
What kind of scene is it for tens of thousands of soldiers to beat their weapons and shout slogans? It was the sound of weapons clashing and the sound of the ground. There will be a sound of ground roaring because the soldiers are constantly stepping on the ground with one foot while beating their weapons, so that there is no army marching on the scene but there is a "rumbling" sound, and the ground is also shaking one after another.
The sound of slogans and the sound of stepping on the ground lasted for about five minutes, and after waiting for the scene to be quiet, it was not Lu Zhe who continued to accept the map or the roster, but the uncle and grandson Tong, who was the ceremonial officer, shouted "play music", and the court band that had been waiting on the side early began to get busy, and the kind of "Yale" that made people want to sleep was played on the spot.
In the sound of Yale without any ups and downs, Shusun Tong was so excited that his face was flushed and he chanted some words such as "God favors the King of Han", "The King of Han governs the country and the army in a certain way", "The soldiers use their lives" and so on. Then the tone was set precisely because of what and what, and then from the moment he accepted the seal offered by Tian Shi, the king of Han was already the monarch of the original subjects of the Qi State, which was a handover witnessed by heaven. If anyone rises up against the king of Han (Han Kingdom) after the benefits of this set of "dedication", it will be disrespectful to God, and will inevitably be spurned by God and cursed by ghosts and gods, and the King of Han will also use the most severe means to punish those who do not obey.
So many words can actually be summed up as a "congratulatory speech" of "inheriting the will of heaven and responding to the will of the people". At the same time as announcing the surrender of the Qi country. Take some of the caveats you deserve. To be more plain, it is nothing more than to tell the people of the world that "the old and young of the Qi country have surrendered, so don't think about doing anything more, you guys." Stop at all, or you should usher in the bloodiest butcher's knife" and so on.
After the "performance" under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, Shusun Tong raised the plate containing the six seals and once again accepted the cheers of the crowd.
"This guy ......" Lu Zhe was a little speechless: "I love the watch too much." ”
Xiao He smiled and didn't speak, and Wei Wangji and Han Wangcheng next to him looked at each other and didn't speak.
In fact, Shusun Tong can't do anything, he is a good erudite Confucian and became a ceremonial official, only in some sacrifices can show his face, except for this, he can't do anything, he really feels aggrieved and too lonely at the same time, and the opportunity to express himself is naturally to seize it tightly.
Lu Zhe shook his head and took another step, and then he should go to Tian Heng on the left, after all, it is the concept of the times that respects the left.
What was the scene like? The Han State, including its allies, naturally looked at Lu Zhe's figure with a smile, and only a very few people would look at the side of the Qi State kneeling on the ground.
"General Tian ......" Zhang Liang wondered and found that Tian Heng's posture was very wrong, but he had not studied the human body, and he just felt that something seemed to be wrong, so he muttered without thinking too much: "General Tian must be very painful in his heart." ”
Tian Heng lowered his head and grabbed the plate with both hands, if you look through the clothes, his hands are already full of green tendons, his teeth are also clenched tightly, and the muscles of his legs are tense to the point that he can jump up at any time.
At this moment, Tian Heng kept chanting in his heart: "Come here, come here, come over ......", ready to bounce up at any time, and then smashed the plate in his hand at Lu Zhe.
Just when Lu Zhe was four steps away from Tian Heng, Yi Jia walked up to Lu Zhe very respectfully and whispered something, Lu Zhe looked at Tian Heng while listening, and his footsteps stopped.
Yi Jia found that Tian Heng's whole body was trembling all the time, and he was reminding Lu Zhe.
Lu Zhe actually found out a long time ago, but at first he just thought that Tian Heng was about to destroy the Qi Kingdom, and the King of Qi was also martyred, and so on, which made Tian Heng excited, although he was on guard in his heart. However, he didn't think that Tian Heng would do anything stupid, after all, he was wearing protective armor all over his body, and the people who surrendered in Qi had also been examined in detail in advance, and what Tian Heng could use as a murder weapon was a plate that was not very strong, and hitting someone was a smashing injury, and it would not be fatal.
"Your Majesty, it is better to be cautious." Xiao He naturally heard what Yi Jia said just now, and immediately spoke out to admonish.
Having said that, Lu Zhe has not been assassinated because he usually doesn't like to wander around, and he is also under the protection of groups of his own elites on the battlefield.
"General Tian, ......" stopped four steps away, Lu Zhe blinked: "Your body is too tight, and your posture looks like you can jump up at any time," after a pause, he sighed obviously, and then continued: "The armor worn by Lone is destined not to be injured even if it is hit." He stopped again and looked at Tian Heng, who was trembling even more violently, and his head was raised with a vicious expression: "Are you sure you want to assassinate?" ”
Tian Heng is trembling was trembling very much, and the muscles on his face looked fierce and hideous because of the trembling, and he opened his mouth to say something, but Lu Zhe was talking again.
"It's not bad to smash Gu and vent his evil anger, after all, Gu destroyed the Qi State," Lu Zhe suddenly smiled and took a step forward: "But General Tian smashed Gu a bit, or is destined to smash Gu to death, you will definitely be chopped into meat by the warriors around you, and you can also leave a name as a loyal minister of Qi in history," The smile became a little weird: "But...... General Tian must be clear about one thing, when the time comes, not only will you be chopped into pulp, but at least 3,000 people kneeling on the ground at the scene will also become meat dregs. ”
"I ......" Tian Heng was about to jump up, but he really stood upright for a while, and he also pounced forward slightly, but halfway through his body, he was directly hugged and pressed under him by another figure wearing white plain clothes and wearing linen and filial piety.
There were bursts of weapons unsheathed, tens of thousands of exclamations, and Lu Zhe yelled when there was any sound: "Quiet! ”
Before Lu Zhe's "quiet" sounded, all the surrounding armor soldiers had been unsheathed, and the soldiers on the periphery also took two steps forward, until Lu Zhe raised his hands and pressed down, and the soldiers outside stopped again, but the surrounding armor soldiers organized a human wall to isolate their king from those people in the Qi country.
When Tian Heng got up and pounced, Tian Guang came out from the side and knocked him to a stop and hugged the person who pressed him underneath. Now the two of them are lying quietly on the ground with tears in their eyes, and the other is using all the strength of his body to lock his limbs regardless of the person he is holding without struggling.
The people of Qi who knelt on the ground were also in a commotion, most of them kept kneeling on the ground but there were traces of movement, and some people stood up.
The surrounding Han army crossbowmen, they have already aimed their arrows at those people of the Qi State who are standing up, and they will not hesitate to release their arrows as long as they are ordered.
"Uncle !!" With a wail, Tian Shi trembled and pointed at Tian Heng: "Don't do stupid things!" ”
Tian Heng closed his eyes and muttered something in a low voice.
Tian Guang only let go of the lock when the Han army armor approached, and after he let go of Tian Heng, he found the plate he should be holding, put the scattered scrolls of mountains and rivers in his hand, and then knelt on the ground, resuming the posture of kneeling and holding the plate high.
Lu Zhe glanced at the Qi people who stood up, and nodded at Yijia next to him.
Yijia immediately shouted loudly: "Kneel! Those who do not kneel - die! ”
Gradually, the Qi people who stood up knelt down again, and Tian Heng, who was dragged up by the Han army soldiers, looked back and said in a desperate tone: "Qi country...... Finished! (To be continued......)
