[Wei Nie] Vertical and horizontal killing

The funeral of Emperor Daxing was extremely extravagant. Although there are no details in the later history books, it is unprecedented and unprecedented.

The inner and outer coffins of Yingzheng were all cast in copper juice. The copper material was produced in the old place of Korea, and it had been prepared long ago, just waiting to be poured.In the past, 70 prisoners of war from the six countries took turns to build the underground palace and worked overtime to finish it.

The people of Qin regard death as life, and the underground tombs are huge and unusual, just like underground palaces.Following the order of the Qin court's deliberations, the ranks of officials were arranged, and there were rare toys, gold and silver treasures everywhere, hoping that the sleeping monarch could still enjoy them at any time.The crossbows are densely covered in the tomb passage, and candles made of mermaid ointment from the East China Sea are used for lighting, which last for many years, illuminating the murals around the tomb wall.The murals depict the great achievements of the emperor who have never been seen before or since.The black background is used as lacquer, painted with vermilion and painted with gold, which will not rot for a thousand years.

On the dome of the tomb, the vast sky and stars line up, and the image is taken from the sky; the mercury is the river, sea and river, and the image is taken from the earth;

At the beginning of the construction of the mausoleum, the sleeping town was selected based on the regulations far exceeding the three-mile city and the seven-mile Guode.

Elephants are born with the utmost propriety, which is rare in ancient times.

……

On the day of the emperor's funeral, the sound of drums, music and gold stones filled the sky.The send-off team has already reached Mount Li, while the team behind is still in Xianyang Palace.

In the Linlang Palace of Xianyang Palace, the concubines and concubines in Yingzheng's harem are all well-dressed.

These women are gorgeously dressed, because today they are going to send away their emperor as concubines of the former emperor.

Some of them still missed the honor and favor of the emperor when he was there, and showed sadness on their faces, while those maidservants and concubines who were shallow in love showed joy on their faces, and the joy in the corners of their eyes could hardly be concealed.

Earlier today, a little eunuch came to announce the decree: the first emperor was great, and there were many concubines and concubines in the harem. After that, they can receive their salary and go home, and they will not do their own weddings and funerals.

This decree soothed the concubine's anxiety. The Qin State had been fighting for years, and the population was thin.It is true that the people once issued a royal decree to make widows remarry and have more children.Although extremely rare for the king of a country, it is not impossible.

Most of the harem is young women from the Six Kingdoms. Most of them fill the harem with hostages and wars, and most of them do not serve the king voluntarily.Hearing that she could return home and remarry, she naturally had infinite hopes in her heart.Without the worries of competing for favor in the past, they are also willing to wash and dress up.

After saying a final farewell to the life in the former imperial palace, these young beauties got into the carriage under the guidance of the soldiers of the Qin army and the eunuchs in the palace, and followed the carriage of the heir prince Hu Hai to Lishan Mountain.The purpose of their trip is to bid farewell to the late emperor and to fulfill their last duties as wives and concubines.

These beauties never thought that what awaited them was not the freedom to remarry, but a steep tomb passage on the east side of Lishan Mountain.The beauty stumbled into the tomb under the guard of the soldiers of Qin State. In the darkness of increasing fear, there was a miserable and panicked cry.

These beauties were decapitated and impaled by icy blades.The blood soaked the ground of the tomb passage, the well-groomed faces stayed on the expression of fear, the pearls and jades from the temples fell to the ground, and finally mixed in the sand and blood, and they slept with their masters in Lishan Mountain.

……

In the emperor's underground bedroom, all the maids of Xianyang Palace were driven into the underground palace before the emperor was alive.They may have realized their fate, and they all showed sadness and wept with their heads down.

After listening to Luo Wang's report, Hu Hai sighed and said: "My father loved them before he was alive, so they should always be with him. What's more, is there any resting place in the world that is more magnificent than this place? It is already enough to allow them to sleep with you forever." It's the emperor's grace, so why worry about it?"

Li Si remained silent. Although he liked to observe the emperor's mind, he still couldn't say anything about this kind of flattery.

Zhao Gao smiled and bowed his head flatteringly: "Your Majesty is right, this is the reason why people's hearts are not old."

In front of Huhai are thousands of miles of mountains and rivers flowing with mercury, and splendid mountains and rivers piled up with gold and jade.This should have been a high-spirited moment, but after watching it for a long time, worries and depression arose.

Zhao Gao said in time: "Your Majesty, the ceremony is over, don't be too sad. It's better to go out with the minister."

Hu Hai nodded, pressed his chest and said, "Those who built the mausoleum?"

Zhao Gao whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the prime minister has already arranged for their destination, and no one will leave Lishan Mountain."

Hu Hai looked at Li Si: "The prime minister really did his best for the father."

The life and death of hundreds of thousands of civilian husbands has been doomed.The bloody burial will only forge the filial piety of the heir emperor, and the world will definitely charge the crime of living sacrifices on the organizer of the funeral.After all, it is one thing to know, but another thing to be mentioned in the open.

Li Si's face was ashen, but there was nothing he could do. He saluted slowly: "This is the duty of a veteran."

Under the Sishui Pavilion in Peixian County, under the dizzy yellow oil lamp, a man playing dice is playing dice.

The person sitting opposite him looked sad, and Mosuo held several masks in his hand.

The idle man tossed the dice to catch them, and then threw them again to catch them: "I said, old man, as long as the dignitaries and dignitaries in the world still eat food, our farm will not fail."

The old man on the opposite side was the Zhu family, the head of Shennong Hall. He raised his head and put on a wry smile: "It's good that everyone is like you."

The man opposite is Liu Ji. He grinned: "Scholars say that being poor for a while is not the same as being poor for a lifetime. What is a man afraid of being poor in this world? What he fears is that he will not be able to do great things and be unknown!"

The Zhu family smiled: "I heard that you followed Zhang Er in the past, but you learned his tune by ten percent. It's a pity that he is now a wanted criminal of the empire, and he is hiding in Tibet every day."

Liu Ji showed an expression that you don't understand me: "You guessed wrong. The person I follow is a great hero. This person is loyal and fearless. As for the Grand Duke, he has no selfishness regardless of life and death."

The Zhu family showed a surprised expression and asked, "Who is this person?"

Liu Ji sold everything: "He changed the fate of Zhao State by himself, and did what should be done when the country was in crisis. In the end, he had to leave his homeland and live in Zhao State."

The Zhu family immediately thought of someone: "You mean Mr. Wei Wuji?"

Liu Ji put away the dice, got up and walked out: "If you can leave your name in history like Mr. Wuji, what's the gain or loss of an individual? What's the temporary dormancy of a farmer's family?"

The Zhu family saw that he was about to leave: "Where are you going?"

Liu Ji stopped in his tracks: "It's over here. My old friend Xia Houying has been imprisoned for a year and is about to come out. I have to go and see him."

When the Zhu family heard this, they gave him a sincere smile: "I heard that he wouldn't torture and flog him hundreds of times in prison, and he wouldn't change his words. Such a person is worth making friends with."

Liu Bang turned around and grinned: "I also drank a lot of your old wine and won a lot of money from you, and I didn't see you driving me away. Haha, it's worth making friends. Next time, remember to come to Aunt Wang's tavern in Sishui Pavilion to find me for a drink! "After finishing speaking, without waiting for the Zhu family to say more, he turned around and strode away.

After Liu Ji left, the peasants around Zhu's family came up and said, "It seems that he is a ruffian. The Zhang Er he followed back then has become a bereaved dog. This time Xia Houying was imprisoned because of Liu Ji and Xia Houying's confrontation. The sword hurt Xia Houying, and Liu Ji bit him to death and refused to admit it. Instead, Xia Houying was locked up and tortured. Is such a person worth befriending?"

The Zhu family put on a serious face, and said slowly: "You don't understand, there is a kind of person who is born with a kind of ability, which can make other people have the idea of ​​making friends with him and being driven by him."

The man said again: "But I heard that he likes to drink and gamble, his family is poor and he likes to imitate the style of the knight-errant everywhere. Does it mean that he really thinks that he is Lord Xinling?"

The Zhu family laughed and said, "I don't care if it's successful or not. I only know my old Zhu's vision, but I never miss it."

The man still didn't believe it.

The Zhu family spread their hands, revealing three dice: "It's better to gamble."

……

At night, the mountains are cold and dew heavy, and a bonfire rises, scorching to dispel the cold.

There are branches on the ground, and the ends of the branches are covered with burnt and discolored wild things.

Gai Nie spread the dried leaves, and said to the dusty prince of the empire: "Rest early tonight, and we will arrive tomorrow."

The Emperor's neck was wrapped with bandaged cloth strips, which were all strips torn from his clean inner shirt.He is already able to walk on his own, but is still weak.The throat injury made him unable to speak, which just saved him from being at a loss when speaking.

He nodded slightly to Ge Nie to express his gratitude.

These dozens of days of running around were the most embarrassing experience in his life, but compared with the despair when he was just given to death, his mood has subtly changed.It's not that he didn't think about suicide, don't linger on like this and hide in hiding, but Ge Nie didn't give him a chance.

Even Wei Zhuang always appeared inexplicably when he took action, interrupting his plan.

After five or six days, he suddenly felt that no matter how bad it was, it couldn't get any worse.Once the will to die is shaken, it will be difficult to gather again.

After that conversation, Ge Nie didn't say where he was going to take him, nor did he intend to ask.

When I looked up again, I saw Gai Nie cutting up the roasted prey with Yuanhong, wrapped it in leaves, and handed it to him.

Wei Zhuang didn't look up, there was already a clean food in front of him.

No one spoke again. In fact, Fusu rarely saw the legendary Zongheng brothers who were at odds with each other speak.But there is always a strange tacit understanding among them, they don't interfere with each other, and they can always make up for each other.

Until the night before, Fusu couldn't fall asleep because of the itching of the wound, when he heard the noise and opened his eyes, he saw two figures that separated quickly.

That time, he stayed up all night.

He started reading when he was young. After reading "Shangshu Shangshu Yixun", he knew that "Three Winds and Ten Guilts" had the style of "better than a urchin". It can be seen that if the monarch "loves his ministers too close, he will endanger himself", it can be seen that he also disagrees.

Zhili and Zhiyi used to be the whole of his life. After his life and hope were suddenly shattered, he suddenly became a little envious of the two in front of him.

But in his mind, there were two people walking out from the yellow sand, one left and one right, holding sharp swords, their bodies were as long as pine trees, and the feeling of watching and relying on each other suddenly hit him.

……

If you can get a robe like this, you can know yourself and your enemy, how can you say that you have no clothes?

There are no regrets in life.
