Chapter 117 Who are you to give me advice?
Blood and fire are the themes of Da Qin’s sacrifices.
The blood followed the guidance of the groove under the bronze plate, flowed under everyone's feet, and finally flowed out of the ancestral temple.
Part of it flows into the Yong River, and part of it seeps into the foundation.
Half of Yongcheng can smell the smell of blood.
Almost all the dignitaries in Yongcheng gathered outside the ancestral temple.
They didn't care what Ying Chengyu said to the ancestors in the ancestral temple.
In their opinion, it is nothing more than words bragging about military exploits and ancestors.
They just waited quietly.
At noon, the gate of the ancestral temple opens.
Ying Chengyu was the first to step out of the ancestral temple and saw a group of people wearing various clothes swarming towards him.
Ying Chengyu's heart trembled suddenly, his right hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword, and he shouted in a deep voice:
"Guard!"
Bafu, Guafu and others Bing quickly stood beside Ying Chengyu, protecting Ying Chengyu in the middle.
However, what Ying Chengyu didn't expect was that no one cared about him at all.
Everyone looked past him as if he were nothing, rushed towards Ying Qing and shouted excitedly: "I'm the first!"
"What's the use of running fast? Having money is the most important thing! Too I want the first prisoner, you can make whatever price you want!”
“I would like to give you five sheep for sacrifice!”
“Do you look down on Mr. Chang’an? The merits of this battle? Ten, I will give you ten!”
“Tai Zhu, I don’t have that much money, can I ask for a bushel of millet for three hundred dollars?” I really need it!”
Seeing such a crazy scene, Ying Chengyu was a little dazed.
"Are they... buying sacrifices?"
Ying Chengyu has also participated in several sacrifices and knows that the livestock, grains and salt after the sacrifices in Daqin will not be wasted.
Except for captives, all edible sacrifices will be sold at auction by the officiant.
And because these sacrifices have been blessed by the gods, one sacrificed sheep can be exchanged for at least two live sheep.
Over time, Da Qin also gained face and lizi.
The reason why other countries in the Zhou Dynasty used no more than twelve sacrifices in their sacrifices, but the sacrifices in Da Qin only used hundreds of sacrifices, is because of the unique sacrificial culture of Da Qin.
However, even Ying Chengyu had never seen such a fanatical scene.
Lao Ai's voice suddenly sounded from beside the two of them:
"The Yong people don't know how big Korea is now. In the impression of the Yong people, Korea is still the one that can prevent the Qin from going east. ”
"Now that Lord Chang'an has destroyed Han, the people of Yong thought that the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty would definitely reward Lord Chang'an generously, so they became more and more enthusiastic about the sacrifices."
Ying Chengyu turned around following the sound and smiled. He said, "I have overlooked one point."
"If in other cities, the heads of Guizhou only like to buy sacrifices to worship the gods, but few people would be willing to buy the sacrifices of the Great Qin clan to worship their ancestors."
“After all, the ancestors of my Great Qin clan are not their ancestors.”
“But in Yongcheng, the Yong people have long regarded themselves as a member of the Great Qin, and many Yong people have even more blood flowing through them. The bloodline of the Qin royal family”
"They are supremely loyal to our royal family of Great Qin!"
Lai Ai showed a proud look in her eyes and nodded with a smile: "I deeply agree!"
"I don't know whether Lord Chang'an and Changwen When do you want to set off to return to Xianyang?"
"I would like to send you two princes on behalf of Nangong."
Xiong Mao said quietly: "I will set off in five days."
Ying Chengyu smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Changwen has many people and many things to do, but I am just a Zong Zhengcheng. Even if I go back to Xianyang, there will be nothing."
"So I won't leave and stay in Yongzheng. Brother Cheng is waiting for you!”
Lai Ai’s face looked a little ugly: “It’s still half a year before the king comes to Yongcheng to be crowned. Could it be that Lord Chang’an wants to stay in Yongcheng for half a year?”
Ying Chengyu was happy? Nodding: "Yongcheng is after all the ancestral home of my great Qin Dynasty and the location of the ancestral temple."
"However, I have never been to Yongcheng since I was born. Now that I am here, I should stay for a while."
"Isn't Lai Huancheng not welcome?"
Lao Ai could no longer hold back her smile and said in a low voice: "I think it would be best for Lord Chang'an to return to Xianyang City as soon as possible."
< br>Ying Chengyu took two steps forward, approached Lao Ai, and asked sarcastically: "Who are you, and you deserve my advice?"
Lao Ai suddenly raised his head and looked at Ying with burning eyes. Cheng Xi, I wish I could just draw my sword and kill Ying Cheng Xi!
But thinking of her plan, Lao Ai could only force out a smile: "That's what Lord Chang'an taught you."
Ying Chengyu smiled and nodded: "It's good to know."
"I want to go out for a hunting trip in the city. Do you want Lao Huancheng to go with me?"
Lao Ai felt that she If you stay next to Ying Chengyu for one second, it will explode. How can you go hunting with Ying Chengyu?
Lao Ai just threatened in a deep voice: "It is easy to get out of Yongcheng now, but it is difficult to get in!"
Ying Chengjian got on his horse and saluted in the direction of Dazheng Palace:
br>
"Send greetings to the Queen Mother on my behalf!"
After saying this, Ying Chengyu clamped his horse's belly and led a group of family soldiers to rush out towards the east.
Rushing all the way out of the east city gate, Ying Chengyu saw a large number of Guizhou heads staying outside the city gate.
Many of them even placed vegetables directly in the snow for others to choose.
Ying Chengyu asked in confusion: "What is going on?"
Xiong Mao glanced at the temporary market and asked instead: "Have Chang'an Lord tried to send more people into Yongcheng in recent days?"
Ying Chengyu nodded calmly: "Of course I have tried it. But so far, no subordinates have been able to join me, and all attempts have failed."
Xiong Mao nodded: "Since the end of November, Xianyang County Magistrate Shicang has ordered a strict investigation of all people entering the city. People, Yongcheng is wide and strict to enter."
"Only those who have been living in Yongcheng can leave the city, and they must return to the city that night, otherwise they are not allowed to enter the city again."
"Non-residents of Yongcheng can only sell vegetables and grain outside the gate of Yongcheng every day. They will be purchased by the Yongcheng Thief Cao and then sold in Pingzhun Market in the city."
"The number of soldiers patrolling on the city wall has increased threefold, and the number of scouts patrolling around the city has increased fivefold!" "To be honest with Lord Chang'an, I have also tried to transport people into Yongcheng, but no matter what means I used, , still unable to transport people into the city. "
Ying Chengyu asked in confusion: "Wouldn't the Qin people in Yongcheng be angry because of this?"
Xiong Mao shook his head helplessly: "It's winter now, how many people go out often?"
"Many Yong people don't even know the current entrance and exit strategies of Yongcheng. They just think that this year's Pingzheng City Vegetable prices are much higher than in previous years.”
"As for those who cannot return to the city after leaving Yongcheng, or those who need to enter Yongcheng to seek life?"
Xiong Qi pouted at those who stayed outside the city gate:
"They are all here, but their voices will not be heard by people in the city."
Looking back at the dense patrols on the city wall, Ying Chengyu's eyes darkened slightly.
Shi Cang's method is not very clever.
But it is this stupid method that is the most difficult to crack!
How can we get past the defensive walls of Yongcheng and send our own men into the city?
Xiong Mao smiled: "Don't think about it any more. Your presence in Yongcheng has already helped you a lot."
"I'm still young, there are other things. It’s not something you need to worry about.”
Xiong Mao abruptly changed the topic and asked curiously: “What did you talk about with the ancestors in the ancestral temple?”
Ying Chengyu said in a deep voice: "There may be something wrong with Taizhu."
Xiong Mao originally wanted to talk about something lighthearted and pleasant, but now he was stunned: "There may be something wrong with Taizhu?"
"Mr. Chang'an Think Taizhu will be detrimental to the king?”
“But he is just a Taizhu, what ability can he have?”
Taizhu was the leader of all theocratic activities in the Shang Dynasty. But now he is just a subordinate of Feng Chang, a host who leads the ceremony.
Therefore, even if Ying Qing is Xiong Mao's subordinate, Xiong Mao has never explored Ying Qing's political leanings.
Because Ying Qing’s tendency is really not important to Xiong Mao!
Ying Chengxuan recalled the fanatical Qin people who bought sacrifices and said seriously: "The Qin people in Yongcheng are different from the Qin people in other cities, and they are even different from the Qin people in Xianyang City. "
"Tai Zhu may be useless in Xianyang City, but in Yong City, Tai Zhu may play a role that you and I can't imagine!"
"I thought he was! The tendency is very important.”
Seeing the seriousness of Ying Chengxuan's words, Xiong Mao also said solemnly: "Tai Zhu is my official."
"I will investigate his tendencies."
Ying Cheng Yu nodded slightly: "Thank you!"
Xiong Mao smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Chang'an, you're welcome."
Xiong Mao still didn't think Ying Qing was that important.
Looking around the snowy fields, Xiong Mao changed the subject again: "Is it true that Lord Chang'an left the city for hunting?"
Ying Chengqiao smiled and nodded: "Of course!"
"It's just me. It’s not just wild beasts that are being hunted.”
……
At dusk, the team of Ying Chengyu and Xiong Mao finally returned to Yongcheng.
"Yo ho ho ho~" Yafu howled excitedly and shouted loudly at the city gate: "Make way!"
However, the city gate guards not only did not give way, they even moved the horses inside the city gate. Coming out, the passage into the city was blocked.
When Yafu saw this, he yelled angrily: "You don't even have eyes, do you?"
"Look at whose carriage and horse are behind you."
"Two horses and carts, two princes entering the city, how dare you stop them?"
The city gate guards replied tremblingly: "Even if the emperor enters the city, he needs to be inspected. This is the law of Qin!"
Ying Chengyu's voice came from the carriage: "Eight husbands, let me They looked at it."
The Eight Man could only hand over their hands: "Wei!"
More than a dozen city gate guards also hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Then they acknowledged it. Start checking the carriages and horses seriously.
Every soldier must take out his ID card, pass it on, and verify his identity.
The carriage was carefully searched from the bottom to the compartment. Even the shaft of the carriage was knocked with a hammer to listen for the sound. Every corner where something might be hidden was not missed.
Before checking Ying Chengyu's carriage, Yafu suddenly waved his hand: "You can just take a look, it's getting late, and my master is in a hurry to return to the palace to rest."
The city gate guard smiled and handed over his hand: "It's over now, it's over now."
Hachifu shouted angrily: "Do you doubt that my master can enter the city with a battering ram?"
"You are allowed to inspect the carriages and horses because my master respects the laws of Qin, but it does not mean that you can humiliate my master!"
While the city gate guards were speechless, Shi Cang's voice came from the city gate. Internal message:
“It is proper for Lord Changan to respect the laws of Qin, and it is also proper for the city gate guards to check the vehicles.”
“Since you are Lord Changan’s soldier, Why bother the city gate guards?"
Ying Chengyu's deep voice came from the carriage: "Magistrate Shi, I have nothing to do with you."
"Why are you targeting me?"
Shi Cang stood in front of Ying Chengyu's carriage, bowed his hands, and responded in a deep voice: "I will not target anyone, I only have Qin Lu in my heart!"
Ying Chengjiao shouted angrily: "Then why do you want to stop me from driving?"
"The Queen Mother ordered me to live in Yong Palace, and Yong Palace is locked every night."
“If I still fail to return to the city before Yong Palace is locked, will Magistrate Shi go and explain to the Queen Mother on my behalf?”
Even without seeing Ying Chengyu, Shi Cang could hear the anger in Ying Chengyu's voice.
However, this made Shi Cang even more unable to let Ying Chengyu enter the city.
As we all know, Ying Chengyu rarely rides in a carriage.
Now Ying Chengyu not only took the carriage, but also refused to get out of the carriage when he saw him. He was even very angry and wanted to enter the city as soon as possible?
Shi Cang's mind immediately turned to an answer: There is a problem in the car!
Not wanting to have an unobjectionable argument with Ying Chengxuan, Shi Cang stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Chang'an, all vehicles entering the city must be inspected. I'm sorry!"
Before he finished speaking, Shi Cang Shi Cang directly opened the car curtain, and then Shi Cang's pupils suddenly shrank.
What appeared in front of Shi Cang's eyes was Ying Chengyu, who revealed his strong abdominal muscles, and seven or eight pairs of long, white legs!
