Chapter 897: Star Meteorite
A shooting star fell from the east county, and someone wrote on the meteorite, "Qin Shihuang dies and divides the land", which made Qin Shihuang furious. Qin Shihuang was a very superstitious person. He was worried in his heart. In fact, this indirectly contributed to Qin Shihuang's determination to pursue immortality and immortality.
"Your Majesty, I have heard about this matter." Jiang Hao said.
"I asked the judge of the calendar. He said that the heavenly appearance of "Yinghuo Shouxin" and the flying stones falling from the sky are bad omens for the emperor. Tell me your opinion." Qin Shihuang asked.
Jiang Hao thought for a while and said, "The words on the meteorite are definitely fake. Someone deliberately wrote on it to incite people to spread rumors and make trouble."
Qin Shihuang narrowed his eyes, his face showed majesty, and said: "Of course I know this, so I have already sent someone to deal with it."
Jiang Haoxin said, the way you deal with it is to kill everyone around you?
But it seems that it has not been done yet.
Jiang Hao thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, meteorites falling from the sky, it is indeed a sign of disaster, but my Taoists believe that everything has yin and yang, and there is life when there is death. As long as you have great perseverance, you may be able to reverse the yin and yang. Bad things turned into good things."
The First Emperor looked at Jiang Hao, "Do you have a solution?"
"I need to go and see for myself," Jiang Hao said.
Qin Shihuang nodded, "You have different skills, and you also understand these celestial yin and yang matters. This matter should indeed be handled by you. Okay, I will make a decree right now, assigning you full authority to handle this matter, and everything over there is up to you. I will ask the local officials to fully assist, and I hope you will not let me down."
"Jiang Hao understands."
Qin Shihuang thought for a while, and then said: "Tomorrow is the court meeting. You will go to court tomorrow, and you will also meet with your colleagues, and then you will be ordered to deal with this matter."
"yes."
the next day,
Lv Zhi helped Jiang Hao put on his official robes and hats early, got into the carriage and rushed to Xianyang Palace. At this time, many carriages were also rushing to Xianyang Palace to participate in the court meeting. When Jiang Hao got off the car, he saw many officials going in twos and threes. walk.
Someone saw Jiang Hao, and immediately started whispering,
"This is Jiang Hao. I heard that he has extraordinary skills, can draw talismans, and can cure plagues. He was originally an imperial physician. As soon as he came to Xianyang, he was conferred the title of Grand Wish by His Majesty. I don't know what he said to deceive him. Your Majesty, could it be another Xu Fu?"
"Your Majesty is now focused on seeking longevity, so he values these strangers so much. Alas, what should we do in the long run."
At this time, a tall and tall man looked at Jiang Hao seriously, then turned his head and walked into the palace gate. Jiang Hao ignored these people and followed the crowd into the Qilin Hall where the First Emperor went to court.
"I have seen His Majesty."
"Let's get back on your feet, what's the matter with your family." Qin Shihuang said majesticly.
"Chen Mengyi has something to report." A tall man stood up and said.
Hearing the name Meng Yi, Jiang Hao turned his head and looked over. He was a handsome old man in his forties with a short beard under his chin. Jiang Hao said in his heart, this is Meng Yi in history.
The court meeting began, and officials played one by one. Jiang Hao had identified all these people and reported everything else. Qin Shihuang said: "There is a meteor falling in Dongjun, and someone is using it to make trouble. I am going to appoint Taizhu Jiang Hao to deal with it. "
Jiang Hao came out immediately when he heard his name, "I obey the order."
Zhao Gao stood up from the side, walked down the steps and handed the imperial decree to Jiang Hao with a smile, while dozens of officials in the audience all looked at Jiang Hao, and these people also remembered the words of the new Tai Zhu in their minds look.
I'm afraid it's another celebrity around His Majesty.
Jiang Hao got the order, and also got a hundred guards from the Qin Army. These were also arranged by Zhao Gao, and the elite cavalry was selected. The leader of the guards was Han Zhong.
Jiang Fu,
inner house,
Jiang Hao put his arms around Lu Zhi and said softly: "I'm going to Dongjun this time, and I have to travel thousands of miles. I can't delay if I have something to do, so I have to march quickly. After all, you are my daughter's family. It is very inconvenient and you will suffer. Wait for me at home. I think I'll be back in a month or two."
Lu Zhi nodded gently, "Zhier must take care of the house and wait for the Lord to come back."
The next day, Jiang Hao set off with people, Lu Xin was left at home, Jiang Hao took Ji Bu, and one hundred guards from Han Zhong, and ran towards Dongjun. Jiang Hao wanted to see him sooner. That meteorite.
In fact, the cavalry of the Qin State is not the main combat arm. The current main battle is chariot soldiers, bows and infantry. The Qin Dynasty cavalry has no stirrups. At least one hand needs to hold the reins tightly, and both legs clamp the horse's belly. It can be imagined This is very exhausting, and even the cavalry who are as strong as the big Han don't have stirrups.
Invent the stirrup now?
hey-hey,
Never.
Jiang Hao has the ability to communicate with animals, can perfectly tame the mount, and can make the mount do what he wants, so he saves a lot of effort than others.
night,
camped out in the open,
The guards hunted a wild boar, set up a fire and were grilling. Jiang Hao sat with Ji Bu and Han Zhong. Jiang Hao looked at Han Zhong and asked, "Which country are you originally from?"
Han Zhong was a little hesitant, because Qin Shihuang stipulated that he could not say which country he was from now, and he should always say that he was from Qin.
"It's okay to talk to me." Jiang Hao said with a smile.
"I'm originally Korean."
Jiang Hao nodded, "Is it Yingchuan now?"
"yes."
"Where are all your subordinates Korean?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Both."
Jiang Hao thought for a while and asked, "How many people from the other six countries are in the Qin army now?"
Han Zhong thought for a while, then shook his head, "I don't know about this, but the proportion should be quite a lot. Taking the Xianyang Guard Army as an example, there are only 30% to 40% of Qin people, and there are more soldiers from other countries in the frontier army."
Jiang Hao had some understanding in his heart, no wonder the Qin Dynasty collapsed so quickly later.
After decades of war, the original old Qin army of Qin State probably has less than 200,000 or 300,000 people left. Now the Great Qin Empire army is filled with people from other countries, not only from the six countries, but from more than a dozen countries.
After the death of Qin Shihuang, the collapse of the Qin Dynasty, and uprisings in various places, many people naturally became war-weary. This is why the Qin army, which once swept the world and was invincible, finally became so weak in combat effectiveness.
Two words, people's hearts.
Hurry up,
Traveling during the day and camping in the wild at night, traveling hundreds of miles a day, finally arrived in Dongjun ten days later, Jiang Hao came to Huatai City, the prefecture of Dongjun, and met the local prefect. The prefect had read the imperial decree and was very polite to Jiang Hao. He promised to send someone to lead Jiang Hao and his party to the place where the meteorite landed.
"Taizhu is exhausted from the journey. I will rest here for one night today. I will leave early tomorrow morning without eating. Tonight, Liu will treat me to Taizhu."
During the banquet, the prefect said: "General Yankui, who is in charge of handling this matter, did not ask who was the one who wrote on the meteorite, but he has already arrested people from four villages with a radius of ten miles, a total of 653 people. I am reporting that I am going to ask His Majesty for instructions, if these unscrupulous people don't speak up, they will be executed as a crime of covering up." The prefect said.
Jiang Hao looked at the round-faced eunuch, he looked kind and kind-hearted, but he didn't expect to be so cruel, he killed them all if he couldn't ask, this was more than 600 lives.
"That's not necessary. Your Majesty asked me to come here to handle this matter personally. It doesn't make any sense to kill those people. I will handle this matter with full authority." Jiang Hao said.
The prefect smiled, "With His Majesty's will, this matter will naturally be decided by Tai Zhu himself."
After a day's rest, Jiang Hao led his people to the place where the meteorite landed 50 miles south of Huatai City. The people sent by the prefect to lead the way directly led Jiang Hao and the others to a village, and soon Jiang Hao met General Yankui.
