Ying Zheng also understood Gu Xun, so he closed his eyes and raised his hand:
"Don't worry, Imperial Master, it will only take a little time at most and I won't embarrass you."
The officiant was Ying Zheng himself, and he also did all the troublesome operations. The most Gu Xun could do was recite the sacrificial words and advance the process.
The most troublesome part is nothing more than being particular about the clothes you wear.
"Besides, the etiquette of our country of Qin... haha!" At this point, Ying Zheng seemed to have remembered the attitude of some Confucian scholars towards his choice of the etiquette of Qin to worship God Yong, and said in a suddenly cold tone.
"Then I have no problem." Gu Xunquan pretended that he didn't hear the last sentence. He spread his hands and replied, "Is there anything else, Your Majesty?"
Ying Zheng said nothing, but raised his hand to indicate that he could help himself.
Seeing this, Gu Xun stood up and left without staying any longer.
After getting out of the carriage, I didn't meet Zhao Gao this time.
He is now on Mount Tai, preparing for the sacrifice with the officials of Fengchang Mansion - they are responsible for the preparation, and he is responsible for supervising.
The imperial official system was divided into three ministers and nine ministers, but the three ministers were not higher than the nine ministers, but their scope of authority was larger. In fact, they were all senior bureaucrats, and they were only responsible to the emperor.
Among them, the head of the Nine Qings was Fengchang, who was called Zongbo or Chunguan in the Zhou Dynasty. He was in charge of the etiquette and cultural education of the ancestral temple, as well as the Imperial College and the Ph.D.
There is no doubt that the yamen with the greatest voice among Confucianists in the imperial court was Fengchang Mansion.
Although Fengchang himself was completely loyal to the emperor, he certainly could not maintain the operation of Fengchang Mansion alone.
In order to prevent anyone from stuffing personal goods into the sacrificial ceremony, Ying Zheng specially sent his confidant Zhao Gao to supervise the work.
Gu Xun raised his head and glanced at the towering Mount Tai, but didn't pay much attention to it.
Zhao Gao has always been a non-stick cook, so now that this job has fallen to him, he will definitely make sure there are no problems, otherwise Ying Zheng will not be able to spare him.
Looking away, Gu Xun thought for a moment and walked towards the garrison camp.
………………
A moment later, inside the Chinese military camp.
"Han Xin, you have worked hard these days." Gu Xin found Han Xin and praised him first.
Han Xin, who knew Gu Xun's temper very well, was startled and knew that something was going to happen again, but he could only reply first:
"You're welcome, sir. This is what I should do."
"It's not up to you whether you should do it or not. Anyway, you have made a contribution this time." Gu Xun folded his arms and smiled.
"What do you mean, sir?" Han Xin asked, clasping his hands.
"His Majesty the Emperor will reward you."
"Uh... what's the reward?" Han Xin asked after being stunned for a moment.
According to his own thoughts, he probably has nothing to reward now.
Give money?
Gu Xun raised his hand and waved, "A battle-hardened armor-piercing soldier, there is a high probability that it will be yours."
"Ah?" Han Xin was really shocked.
It was not because of his qualifications that he could become the commander-in-chief of the emperor's royal army, but because the emperor dared to give military power to the eldest son's faction.
Didn't it mean that the eldest son Fusu was demoted to the north and had completely lost power?
Moreover, even if Fusu had not lost power, and even if he had become the crown prince of the empire, he should not have had so many troops under his command.
Is the emperor Ying Zheng so generous?
Seeing this, Gu Xun smiled and said, "Don't be too happy too early."
Han Xin, who had just calmed down, said, "..."
Did I look like I was happy just now?
Regardless of what he was thinking, Gu Xun said to himself, "This matter has not been decided yet. There are two things I want to tell you in advance."
"First, during the recent period, the emperor should see you in person."
"Me?" Han Xin showed surprise again and pointed at himself, "Alone?"
Gu Xun shrugged, "It depends on the situation, but most likely you will meet the emperor alone."
"What, scared?"
"That's not the case." Han Xin regained his composure, shook his head despite his kidney deficiency, and replied, "I just hope you can remind me if there is anything I need to pay attention to."
"There's nothing to pay attention to." Gu Xun waved his hand, "Anyway, just follow the emperor's wishes and talk to him, no matter what he thinks."
"As long as you don't disobey the emperor, at least you won't be in any danger."
"What about armor-piercing soldiers..." Han Xin said with some doubts.
Gu Xun raised his hand and interrupted him, "I said, just follow the emperor's wishes."
"Don't tell me that you can't even understand the meaning of the emperor's words."
"I understand." Of course Han Xin would not say that, and replied honestly with his fists clasped.
To be honest, he really didn't want to see the supreme emperor - no one likes to see a person who can take away his life or death.
Especially when his status is not qualified enough to meet the emperor.
But he couldn't help but say no to this kind of thing.
Now that Gu Xun has given him a guarantee, Han Xin is relieved. The worst that can happen is that the armor-piercing soldiers he obtained will fly away.
He had never thought about this before.
Gu Xun then continued, "The second point is that if you successfully take charge of the Hundred Battle Armor-Piercing Soldiers, you will lead the troops to Baiyue."
"Baiyue?" Han Xin's brows flashed, "Are the current armor-piercing soldiers suitable for directly participating in the Lingnan War?"
"Of course it's not suitable." Gu Xun shook his head and replied, "So I asked you to lead the troops to cooperate with Nei Shiteng and his Pingyang heavy armor army to guard the main access roads to Lingnan."
"Guard the main road?" As soon as Han Xin heard these words, he immediately figured out the key to it.
"So...it's really worthy of the two ace troops personally guarding it."
"Then are you willing to go to Lingnan? If nothing else, it will take at least a few years." Gu Xun was not surprised that Han Xin figured out the key, and he only asked the real question.
Han Xin scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
From the perspective of accumulating military merit, leading troops to Lingnan is definitely not a bad choice.
But in terms of living environment, Lingnan is a bit of a hell.
Even if guarding the main access roads does not require going deep into areas such as Xiou, the environment is still harsh enough.
After thinking for a while, Han Xin finally made a decision, nodded and replied, "Sir, I have thought about it and am willing to go."
Now that he has become a member of the imperial military, it is natural for him to work hard for his promotion.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Going to Lingnan is absolutely beneficial to his career. There is no need for him to give up just for some external enjoyment. Anyway, with his martial arts, no matter how miserable the environment is,
Not alive.
The most important thing is that this matter has reached the stage where Ying Zheng has made a decision.
If the emperor has made a decision, can he, a little person like him, be allowed to refuse?
"Okay." Gu Xunyi clasped his hands, "By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to mention."
"With your current military rank and position, you are not qualified to be the commander of armor-piercing troops who have fought hundreds of battles - you must at least be a serious general."
"So even if you are sent to Lingnan, you will still be able to 'temporarily lead' armor-piercing soldiers for a long time."
"But as long as I can make some gains there, I should be able to become a regular employee soon."
This promotion obviously means that Han Xin can officially rise to the top of the military and become a genuine general.
Han Xin couldn't help but nodded secretly after hearing this.
Even he had to admit that if he could become a general at his age, it would be extremely difficult even for those military aristocrats who had been in the military for many years.
What's more, he is a commoner who is not even from a poor family.
Han Xin is very confident in his abilities, but he also knows that under normal circumstances, no matter how outstanding his abilities are, it is difficult to be promoted so quickly.
This is definitely a great opportunity for him.
"I understand, sir." Han Xin's face turned serious, and he cupped his fists and saluted Gu Xun before replying.
Gu Xun said nothing, just smiled, patted Han Xin on the shoulder and left.
………………
Jiaodong County, Songhai City Port, above the mirage.
In the palace of the moon god.
Concubine Yan and Moon God were still confronting each other, but Moon God's expression was very strange.
Under the Moon God's repeated entanglement, Concubine Yan revealed her plan completely to her surprise.
"Your purpose...is this!?" Moon God's tone was full of surprise and disbelief.
Concubine Yan didn't make any response, she just looked at Moon God quietly.
After a while, Luna regained her composure, but there was a hint of haze between her brows, and she asked:
"Gu Xun has no idea what you are going to do?"
"You can't let him know about this, otherwise he will definitely stop it." Concubine Yan replied calmly.
"How can you succeed if he firmly opposes it?" Luna asked again.
Conceal it for a while at most, and sooner or later it will be exposed when you are almost successful.
With Gu Xun's strength, if he wants to stop something, unless you have already succeeded, he will do anything to ruin your business.
Concubine Yan understood the meaning of Yue Shinhwa and explained, "When it is almost successful, even if he knows about it, he will not interfere again... After all, Qianlong is involved."
Moon God subconsciously opened his mouth to say something, but then held it back after his expression changed.
She was quite critical of Concubine Yan for involving Qianlong, but considering the other party's purpose, she couldn't blame her.
After a moment of silence, Luna asked, "Why are you willing to tell me all your plans?"
"In order to succeed, in order to get your support, and in order for you to give up your stupid persistence!" Concubine Yan replied unceremoniously.
The veins on Luna's forehead twitched, but it was rare for him to hold back his temper. He just asked coldly, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell Gu Xun and ruin your plan?"
Concubine Yan fell into silence, and after a while she finally spoke, "Are you really willing to ruin this plan?"
"Why not?" Luna responded forcefully, "If you are allowed to succeed, the Yin Yang family's thousand-year plan may be ruined!"
Concubine Yan didn't reply, she just stared at her sister with cold eyes, as if she wanted to cut her into pieces with her eyes.
Under the gaze of Concubine Yan, the Moon God showed some inexplicable guilt. Finally, he turned his head and said in a deep voice:
"I can't possibly help you."
"To help you, I have to give up everything."
Concubine Yan's eyes softened and she replied with a slightly harsh tone, "I told you, it's not a bad thing if you give up."
This time Yueshen simply stopped arguing with Concubine Yan on the topic, and just turned her head and ignored her.
When Concubine Yan saw this, she didn't talk nonsense, turned around and walked out of the dormitory, and finally said:
"You can think about it slowly, I'll wait for your reply."
Moon God still didn't make any response, just turned his back to Concubine Yan, his face changing in a gloomy and uncertain manner.
If only Concubine Yan wanted to benefit from Canglong Qisu, the Moon God would not hesitate to destroy her plan even if she still had sisterly feelings for her in her heart.
But unfortunately, her real purpose is not for herself at all...
Luna really didn't know what to choose for a while.
Give up all your years of planning and hard work?
Or, should he turn a blind eye to Concubine Yan's plan, or even interfere with it and sabotage it?
………………
A few days later.
The whole world was full of ups and downs, and the ceremony of consecrating Mount Tai to Zen was followed by the First Emperor leading hundreds of civil and military officials to build an altar of earth on Mount Tai to repay Heaven for his merits. He removed the earth from Liangfu's hill to repay Earth's merits, and erected a monument to praise his merits.
Germany, it has completely come to an end.
This major event, which had been in constant turmoil since its inception, did not cause any trouble at the last and most important moment, and the entire process was completed smoothly.
This surprised many people, but it was also expected by many.
After all, before the Feng Chan ceremony began, the Imperial Imperial Master personally directed and cleared away all the anti-Qin forces around him, and even directly spread the word afterwards, not allowing anyone to have the idea of this Feng Chan ceremony.
Some people are afraid of him, and of course some people are not afraid of him.
But regardless of fear or not, the arm cannot twist the thigh anyway, and the Taishan area is actually cleared.
This is due to Han Xin, and it is also related to Gu Xun's intimidation - he directly said at that time that he would start a joint operation, and whenever something went wrong, he would find anyone he could find to take responsibility.
Even if there are stupid people who are not afraid of death, there are always those who are afraid of death and will try to get them away.
Later, when it was revealed that Gu Xun was responsible for leading the officials during the conferment of Zen, many people believed that this was the reason why the imperial master made great efforts to ensure the smooth implementation of the canon.
Gu Xun himself didn't bother to explain this, but it was said that he had a nose and eyes.
But this is not what attracts more attention.
What is really eye-catching is first of all the mobilization of armor-piercing soldiers.
During this period, it has been stationed in Dongjun. Basically, any normal person can tell that the empire is guarding against farmers.
This also forced the farmer's family to maintain a considerable disciple garrison at the headquarters even though the civil strife had been eliminated.
Over time, the impact on farmers is not small.
But now it's better. The armor-piercing soldiers have been transferred and headed straight to Lingnan.
This caused a lot of speculation in the world.
Not many people in Jianghu know much about the Lingnan War, but they all know that the Lingnan War did not go well.
The empire's move to transfer this ace force naturally made them have to think more.
At the same time, there is another thing that Jianghu is very concerned about, which is also related to the armor-piercing soldiers.
It was the new leader of this army, the original leader, General Wang Li, who was punished by the emperor because of the defeat at Daze Mountain and was demoted to lead troops in the north to serve as Meng Tian's deputy.
Han Xin, this upstart in the imperial army who had already become famous due to the destruction of the city, now has his reputation completely spread.
Of course, Jianghu people don't particularly care about an imperial soldier.
The reason why they care is because it is rumored that Han Xin was single-handedly promoted by Gu Xun, the master of the country, and he is a proper eldest son of the sect.
At present, the eldest son has completely lost power, but the power of the eldest son's faction seems to be getting stronger and stronger, which makes people wonder.
Some people suspected that the Imperial Master had given up on the eldest son, so the Emperor was willing to continue to favor and support him.
Some people also suspected that the emperor still had some illusions about the eldest son, so he did not kill them all and waited to see the consequences.
The problem of a prince is much more attractive than that of a military general.
