Chapter 505: Success and Fame
The thick vermilion door slowly opened in front of Linghuye, and a cold air seemed to hit his face. For no reason, Linghuye shivered.
This place once represented the highest power of the Qin Dynasty. The people who could hang out here were all the top kings and ministers of the Qin Dynasty. Each of them could make the land of the Qin Dynasty shake with just a stamp of their feet. A few shaking characters.
It’s just that these big shots have either fled away or followed Wei Zhengdao in retreating to Hanzhong. The remaining group is now under the steps behind Linghuye , looking up at Linghuye climbing up the steps step by step and entering the main hall.
No one is following Ling Huye. At this time, such glory belongs to him alone.
Linghuye walked in slowly. The main hall was still splendid with golden walls, but it seemed to be quite different from the noble and magnificent place in his memory.
Remember the last time you came back here, it must have been fifteen years ago, right?
At that time, I had just been appointed as the Protector of Beiting Protectorate. Although before that, I had been controlling the Protector of Beiting in the name of Deputy Protector for several years, but this time With his appointment, he still legitimately ascended to the position of the top minister of the Qin Dynasty.
But at that time, Da Qin still looked like it was in full swing!
Wei Zhengdao presides over the government affairs, and Kou Zhong is in charge of the darkness. How miserable is the eight-year suppression in Jiangnan that makes the Chu State breathless. It is always worried that the Qin army will suddenly raise troops southward at a certain moment, and in Northern Xinjiang, because of its several years of hard work, has finally slowly offset the adverse effects of the purge of the Prince's line. Although the lost Qingtongxia City and other places can never be regained, the new balance has been formed again.
Think about it, God will help you!
If the barbarians from the northern frontier of the Yuan Kingdom hadn't suddenly moved southward in large numbers, Yingzhuo wouldn't have changed their targets so easily and shifted their strategic focus to the north. In the situation at that time, if Yingzhuo had always aimed to fight outside the pass, it would be a matter of opinion whether he could withstand it.
No matter how the Yuan people retreated, they did hold on to the outside of the pass. At that time, the old emperor who had been in bed for many years finally passed away and returned to the west. The new emperor took office, and for the new emperor to ascend to the throne, he established a A group of people who have made great contributions have all received the rewards they deserve, and he is one of them.
The emperor was complacent, and so were the ministers. Everyone was working hard and wanted to do something big so that they could leave a mark in the annals of history.
When did you start thinking about it?
Linghuye couldn't remember.
Probably it is the accumulation of small things one by one over the past ten years or so.
If you don’t accumulate steps, you can’t reach a thousand miles; if you don’t accumulate small streams, you can’t become a river.
Standing here today, Ling Huye felt a little funny when he thought of the oath he made when he knelt on this gold brick and bowed to the ground.
But at that time, I really wanted to be a loyal minister!
I walked up the steps and walked to the huge and exquisite chair on the high steps. After looking around, I sat down and raised my hands to the side out of habit, but found nothing. Only then did he remember that this was not his Marshal Festival Hall in Zhenwu City.
This chair is too big. I can't hold it on the left or right or lean back. It's not comfortable at all.
There were footsteps at the door of the hall. Linghuye looked up and saw Li Guohua, Chang Lei, Wang De and other generals walking in one after another. They were too far away and couldn't see everyone's appearance. It was so real, I just knew that they were all laughing, laughing from the bottom of their hearts.
It’s time to laugh!
After so many years of hard work, under so much pressure, and so much hard work, we finally have what we have today! Their current mentality is most likely the same as when they knelt down to resign!
"Commander, we have won!" Li Guohua, the leader of the generals, raised his head and said.
“What did you say?” Linghuye leaned forward and asked. "Commander, I say we won!" Li Guohua raised his voice.
"General Li, you called me wrong!" Wang De next to him shook his head repeatedly.
"Where did I go wrong?" Li Guohua turned his head and looked at Wang De. The man in front of him had poor moral character, but he still had some ability. Since entering the customs, he was initially trapped. But in the end, seeing Linghuye becoming more and more powerful, he changed his mind and achieved several great achievements during the battle.
"We shouldn't call you Marshal anymore!" Wang De turned his head and looked up at Linghu Ye, who was above him, and said loudly: "We're done, shouldn't we shout Long Live?"
All the generals in the palace looked at each other in shock. .
Although deep down everyone thinks that this is a matter of time, but is it inappropriate to mention it like this now? Outside the pass, Li Dachui is crouching, and He Zudao in the south of the Yangtze River is watching eagerly. Are the local forces that have surrendered now truly loyal?
Definitely not.
As long as there is any disturbance, those people are afraid that they will stagger again.
It's just that it seems that the commander-in-chief sitting high up there seems to be very satisfied with his ambition. We are not stupid, and we don't want to ruin the commander-in-chief's enthusiasm when he is at his highest.
This damn Wang De really knows how to seize the opportunity.
When the commander actually reaches the top, this bitch will definitely boast that he was the first to bring up this matter, and the commander cannot deny it!
What has been the greatest contribution since ancient times?
Of course it is the merit of supporting the establishment. Compared with this, the expansion of territory, the suppression of rebellion, the revitalization of the economy, and the development of people's livelihood have to be ranked in the back row.
Just when everyone didn't know how to respond to this question, Linghuye, who was at the head, burst out laughing. He patted the dragon throne vigorously, stood up and strode down the steps: "It's uncomfortable. Sitting is really uncomfortable." It’s uncomfortable! And sitting there, everyone can’t see clearly, and I can’t hear you clearly. It’s uncomfortable, it’s uncomfortable!”
Ling Huye’s laughter relieved everyone. Feeling embarrassed, Li Guohua smiled and said: "Habits come naturally, Marshal, you can get used to it slowly in the future. I still remember that you told me that you felt uncomfortable after the first time you sat in the Zhenwucheng Protector's Case!"< br>
“You have a good memory!” Ling Huye smiled and patted Li Guohua on the shoulder, “At that time, you were only in your early thirties, and I was not yet forty. They say that time flies. The moon is flying like a shuttle, look at it, the folds in the corner of our eyes can kill mosquitoes!"
"For ordinary people, being over fifty is already knowing your destiny, but for you, the handsome man! He said, now is the prime of life!" Wang De on the other side came up again.
Linghuye smiled slightly: "I like to hear this, gentlemen, but I want to remind everyone that occupying Chang'an is only the first step towards success, and we are still far from real success. It's far away. Let's go. Let's find another comfortable place to discuss things. Let's talk about what happened during this period. To be honest, the continuous things that happened during this period made me a little confused. I can't deal with it. No, this great plan will fall short!”
Everyone knows what Linghuye is talking about.
