Huan Rong

Chapter 209 Bronze Cauldron

Xianyang in the Qin Dynasty and Chang'an in the Han Dynasty.

The history of this ancient city can be traced back to the period of King Wen of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

As the earliest city called "Beijing" in human history, Chang'an is the head of the ancient capital of China. It contains the prosperity of Qin and Han, and the prosperity of Sui and Tang. It demonstrates the tolerance of the Chinese nation and records the most glorious history of China. Brilliant chapter.

Standing at the foot of Chang'an City, looking up, the prosperity and prosperity of the past can no longer be traced.

The Weishui River still runs through the capital city, flowing along the years, in an endless stream.The Guidianlan Palace, which was built in imitation of Tianxiang Beidou, no longer exists. Most of them were destroyed in the flames of war and turned into cold smoke.

After the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty, the five Hus moved inland, and the regime in Chang'an City continued to change. Some palaces still stood upright. After simple repairs, they became the ruling center of the Jie, Di and other Hu tribes.

However, no matter how many skillful craftsmen have gone through, the majesty and magnificence of the past will never be found.Annihilated in the raging flames of war, turned into phantoms, submerged in the long river of history.

Only when the river is rushing, mirages will appear in the water for future generations to remember.

Standing between the broken walls, looking for the rafters and tiles, letting go of thoughts, feeling the wind blowing across the cheeks, you can still depict the terraces and pavilions, carved railings and jade, flying pavilions and flowing pills a hundred years ago.

There are hundreds of years of history here, imprinted with the strength and unyielding of the Chinese ancestors, leaving endless nostalgia and pride for future generations.

The military chariot stopped in front of the Tai Chi Hall, Huan Rong pushed the door open and jumped off the shaft.

The moment his feet landed on the ground, he looked up at the buildings with obvious traces of the Han Dynasty, and couldn't help but look slightly solemn. He took a deep breath, and the coldness poured from his throat into his chest.

It used to be a corner of the palace in the Han Dynasty, but it was occupied by the Hu people during the war.

Part of the building was destroyed by fire, but the main hall stands.

At this moment, standing under the stone steps, complex emotions surged up, it was hard to say what it was like in my heart.

Close your eyes, and you can hear the majesty of the Han riders galloping past, the heroism of the ancestors sweeping the mountains and rivers, and the majesty of the Han family sweeping the world.

In the face of all this, no matter how rich the language will be, it will become barren, and no matter how clever the words are, it will appear pale.

Huan Rong took a deep breath, bit his cheeks hard, suppressed his thundering heartbeat, stepped up the steps, raised his arms flat, clasped the palms on the backs of his hands, faced the former Jianzhang Palace, and bowed down to worship.

"Don't dare to be more virtuous and virtuous than the virtuous and virtuous monarchs. I only ask the ancestors of the past dynasties to witness that in their lifetime, they will do everything they can to quell the aliens and end this troubled world!"

"The world is the word, the sun and the moon are the evidence!"

This is a respect for the ancestors, a sacrifice to the Yin, Shang and Western Zhou Dynasties, and a sacrifice to the strong Qin and Han.

With a solemn expression, Huan Rong bowed down and paid respects.

The warm sun falls in front of the hall in winter, and a person standing under it seems to be shrouded in a halo, the hem of his clothes dances in the wind, his sleeves are like black wings, and he sings like a divine bird, wanting to flap his wings.

Dian Kui Xu Chao didn't know why, but he was shocked.

Zhong Lin took half a step forward, and said in a deep voice, "Duke Ming made a great wish today, and he will come to Chang'an again in the future!"

"By virtue of Kong Yu's auspicious words, I hope it will be so." Huan Rong stood up straight, with his long sleeves folded in front of him, and said with a smile, "Order the soldiers to search the palace and open the treasury."

The remembrance is over, and the oath is declared to the world, and it is time to do it.

"promise!"

Zhong Lin is an internal affairs talent, and she is very good at "counting money" and "treasure hunting".

After the order was issued, more than two hundred soldiers immediately dispersed, and soon found a few eunuchs, and asked about the location of the state treasury and the owner's private treasury.

"Wait a minute." Huan Rong stopped Zhong Lin, and said, "Just take Fu Jian's private treasury, don't touch the treasury treasury."

Zhong Lin stopped in her tracks, with a puzzled look on her face, not knowing what Huan Rong meant by this move.

"I can take all the treasures hidden in the palace. Chang'an will eventually be captured by the Qin family. It is best not to move the treasury."

It's not that Huan Rong is too cautious, but that the treasury is too involved, and if it is easily broken open, it may cause a lot of trouble.

Qin Jing held a tiger talisman in his hand, led an army of tens of thousands, and successively captured the city of Ye Chang'an, and his reputation spread throughout the north, but he is not the person in power of the Qin family after all, and it is impossible for him to do everything he wants.

The two sides are cooperating now, and considering their own interests, it is best to coexist peacefully for a period of time in the future, and it is best to avoid the bottom line that can not be touched.

"Ming Gong's worries, I can guess one or two. But," Zhong Lin paused, and said in a low voice, "If Qin Silang and his father have a rift, and the Qin family is at odds, won't it be..."

Huan Rong shook his head, interrupted Zhong Lin, and said resolutely, "No."

In troubled times, the most indispensable thing is smart people.

If it is Yang Guang's temperament, such a method will definitely prove successful.Switching to Sima's is definitely a provocation, and it can even get twice the result with half the effort.

For the Qin family, Huan Rong didn't want to take any risks, nor did he want to do this.

"The thieves are still alive, it's too early to tell."

He intends to end the troubled times and unify China, and sooner or later he will have a battle with the Qin family.

but not now.

"promise."

Zhong Lin didn't persuade any more, and respectfully agreed, and personally took people to Fu Jian's private treasury.

"Dian Sima, accompanying guards." Huan Rong said.

"promise!"

Dian Kui took the order, Xu Chao took his place and stood beside Huan Rong.

With the eunuchs in the palace leading the way, Zhong Lin Diankui found Fu Jian's private treasury without much effort.All the guards in front of the gate were captured, and all those who resisted were killed by the revolution. The eunuchs and maids in the palace had already fled, leaving only the bronze lock carved with animal patterns to control the door.

"Smash it open!"

The key to the copper lock disappeared, and he didn't want to waste time. Dian Kui did it himself, swung his weapon, and smashed it down heavily.

With a few blunt bangs, the copper lock fell to the ground.

Dian Kui took two steps forward, clasped the animal ring on his palm, his shoulder and arm muscles bulged, and pushed open the closed bronze door with only one person's strength.

In an instant, the eyes are full of golden light, and the room full of jewels and jewels can be seen in the eyes.

Huan Rong got the report, followed the private soldiers to the private treasury, walked through the half-closed door, subconsciously raised his hand to cover it, and was almost dazzled by the golden light.

Holding Youzhou in his hand, controlling salt, sugar and sea trade, Huan Rong is not short of money at all.Among the officials of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, count them one by one, not mentioning the family, but only talking about personal wealth, he is definitely one of the best.

However, when he first saw gold forming mountains, colorful treasures and amber forming mounds, and pearls rolling into the sea, he was still quite surprised and couldn't help being stunned for two seconds.

Gold jewelry wasn't what shocked him the most.

A bronze tripod hidden in the storeroom shocked him the most.

The legend of Huaxia Jiuding has existed since ancient times, and he would not mistakenly think that this is one of them, but in terms of manufacturing technology and long history, this tripod is absolutely extraordinary.Coupled with being hidden in the deep palace, it is even more mysterious.

Mr. Huan did not have the superhuman ability to recognize treasures, so he couldn't stand the vicious Zhong Lin by his side.After carefully looking at the bronze tripod, Zhong Lin asserted that it can be traced back to at least the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Putting aside the room full of gold and jade, Zhong Sheren suggested that other things may not be taken, but this bronze tripod must be taken away.

"Duke Ming, you need to hurry up!"

Zhong Lin was very worried. If the Qin family found this bronze tripod, they would definitely try to keep it.At that time, if the two sides do not conflict, it will also have an impact on each other's covenant.

"Okay." Knowing the priorities, Huan Rong didn't say much, and nodded seriously.

Look around, it's not convenient to use a car, so please go directly to the humanoid weapon.

Without saying a word, Dian Kui rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to carry the tripod.

"rise!"

With a loud shout in his mouth, the bronze tripod was held high above his head. At first he tried to take steps, but after making sure that his steps were steady, he walked over the stone steps and immediately walked like flying.

In order to avoid being discovered by others, the tripod is covered with a cloth. Ordinary people don't know the details, and they probably think it is a "wooden box" with a slightly weird shape.After all, it is not easy to carry a tripod with both hands. It is beyond common sense to lift it without saying anything, and it is as light as nothing and moves like flying.

Dian Kui carried away the bronze tripod and quickly loaded it into the cart.

The car panels were closed and covered with a cloth, so that no one knew what was in the car.

Once the most important items are in place, the rest is easy to deal with.

Dian Kui Xu Chao and the private soldiers worked together, carrying all the gold and jewelry accumulated by Di Qin for decades out of the palace.Not to mention sweeping the warehouse clean, you can run horses directly, but with the current level of emptiness, it is not much worse.

"Brother Qin needs to buy food and medicine from the market, and also hires military medical practitioners. After the war, he also needs help to clean up the battlefield and rebuild the city wall." Envoy Huan sat back in the military cart, spread out the silk cloth with Zhong Lin, and carefully recorded.At the same time, he was making calculations in his mind, besides emptying the private treasury, where else could he use his brains.

The treasury cannot be moved, should the noble officials in the city contribute some?

In addition to gold and jewelry, should the population also be divided?

Not in vain, he is happy to pay.Anyway, Fu Jian's treasury is very abundant, he generously set aside one third, and he still made a lot of money.

Qin Jing was just showing generosity to others, and envoy Huan directly borrowed chickens to lay eggs.

Knowing the latter's thoughts, I don't know how Qin Shilang will feel.

At this moment, a woman with a gentle temperament in a palace skirt was stopped by private soldiers. Behind her, there were several beautiful women, as well as boys and girls of different ages.

Hearing the sound of crying, Huan Rong looked up and saw that the headed woman was wearing a phoenix hairpin, and the silk jacket and long skirt were somewhat similar to the Empress Dowager Chu, but the color was brighter, so she couldn't help guessing.

Different from the panic and panic of others, the woman's expression was indifferent, without any fear, let alone a trace of resentment.

Seeing Huan Rong looking over, Fushen performed Han etiquette, and said: "My concubine Gou, I make you polite."

Gou?

Fu Jian's queen?

Huan Rong frowned, and put down the silk cloth.

After thinking about it, he summoned a private soldier and ordered him to search for Qin Jing in the city.Anyway, if Chang'an wants to belong to the Qin family, he can just take the money, and he doesn't intend to interfere with these matters inside and outside the palace.

"His Royal Highness, please wait a moment, let me not be the person in charge."

After returning the gift, Huan Rong buried his head in the books again, and Empress Gou and others were directly left on the spot.The two princes felt angry and wanted to speak evil words.After being glanced at by Queen Gou, the words that came to her lips were swallowed back into her throat.

"Emissary," Queen Gou made up her mind and continued to speak, "Please envoy to save my concubine's life."

After the words fell, without giving Huan Rong time to react, Queen Gou bowed down gracefully.The concubine and maid who followed her knelt down on the ground.The prince and princess did not kneel, but they also bent down to salute, making full gestures.

Huan Rong frowned even deeper, looking at Queen Gou with cold eyes.

"Your Highness, Rong has already said that I am not the person in charge."

Whether Empress Gou knew his identity or not; whether she had a provocative intention or just wanted to save his life, he didn't intend to get involved in this matter.

Not to mention whether he has the intention to save others, just being in contact with Fu Jian's wife and children made him very uncomfortable.What's more, the other party is likely to have other intentions, which makes Huan Rong make up his mind. There is a hot potato in front of him, and it is best to hide as far away as possible.

After a while, the private soldiers came back with a letter, accompanied by a group of Qin's servants.

Qin Jing was clearing the battlefield and announcing the news of Fu Jian's death in the city; Qin Jun was too busy recruiting the people, sending troops to guard the treasury, and besieging the homes of noble officials, so he had no time to enter the palace.

The team was led by a young general who was somewhat similar to Xia Houshuo who once went to Xuyi.

After notifying his identity and name, Huan Rong finally found out that this person's surname is Xiahou, and his single name is Yan. He is Xiahoushuo's third son.

During the siege of Chang'an, Xia Houyan was ordered to send troops outside the south gate of the city.Today's attack on the city is even more about taking the lead in charging and beheading two Di generals at the head of the city.

Sending him to deal with this matter shows Qin Jing's trust in him.

On the way here, Xia Houyan already knew the cause and effect, so he said to Huan Rong: "I'm sorry to bother you, I was ordered by Lord Silang to take care of Fu Jian's family."

"Okay." Huan Rong nodded.

As for how to take care of them and what will happen to these people, Huan Rong doesn't intend to worry about it.

Qin Jing is merciless to the enemy, but he acts with his own measure, and he is not a person who kills indiscriminately.Those who should be cut and rooted will not be lenient, and those who should be forgiven will also be lenient.

"I made an appointment with General Qin to take the things in the palace to pay for food, grass and medicinal materials. Now I have roughly counted them and recorded them in a book. I don't know where General Qin is now?"

"Mr. Silang is now in Beicheng." Xia Houyan said, "There are still rebellious troops in the city, so if you want to go there, you need to be careful along the way."

Oh?

Huan Rong looked at Xia Houyan, seeing the disapproval in the other's expression, raised his eyebrows on the spot.

"Thank you General Xiahou for your reminder." Huan Rong smiled slightly and said, "Before entering the city, I ordered Sima in front of the chariot to intercept the fleeing people, and happened to capture two building owners. According to his account, he had led troops to guard Nancheng before and escaped in the chaos. I'm not easy to deal with, and I'm handing it over to General Qin."

Look down on his frailty, thinking that Jin soldiers are vulnerable?

Do you think too highly of yourself?

Feeling that these words were not right, Xia Houyan frowned.After careful consideration, he understood in a moment, and looked at Ambassador Huan with a gentle smile, opened and closed his mouth a few times, and his face instantly flushed red.

As for shame or anger, Huan Rong didn't care about it.

Generally speaking, it should be mostly ashamed.

However, isn't it unreasonable to squeeze a young man like this?

Envoy Huan turned around, looked at Zhong Lin who was obviously holding back her smile, and rubbed her fingers helplessly.Well, he got "playful" and didn't stop the car for a while.

Zhong Lin turned her head and coughed twice, and said sternly, who did Minggong run on?Why didn't the servant see it?

Huan Rong; "..."

With such a family member, should I say good or bad?

Is it easy to cultivate a tyrant?

Huan Rong boarded the car and walked away, the young man Xiahou stood where he was, his expression gradually returning to normal.Turning around to look at the concubines and princes and princesses, she immediately lowered her face with an extremely stern expression.

"Come on!"

In the northern city, Fu Jian's body has been properly placed, and will be buried with the ceremony of a king in the near future.

Unlike Murong Wei, he has been king for several years, and with Wang Meng's assistance, he has gradually become the overlord of one side.During his reign, he managed the country well, implemented many good policies, and gained a certain reputation among the people.

Today, he died fighting to defend the city. Although he is a foreigner, he is still respected by the Qin family.

The fighting in the city gradually subsided, and the people who escaped from the city were divided into several groups. Some fled north, some ran west, and some encountered Qin servants and Youzhou state soldiers. Knowing that their lives were safe, they stopped resisting , and the latter returned to the camp, registered separately, and waited for resettlement.

When Huan Rong arrived in Beicheng, he searched around but couldn't find Qin Jing.After asking a few servants, Fang knew that Qin Jing had already left the city, and was counting the prisoners of war in the camp outside the city and gathering the people who had left the city.

"Ok."

Envoy Huan ordered to turn around, go out of the city first to find a place to camp, and leave the gold and jewelry shipped out, and especially ordered people to take good care of the bronze tripod.After everything was settled properly, the banner was unfurled, and a team of guards went to Qin Jing's camp.

At that time, both Qin Jing and Qin Ju had left the city to discuss how to put out the fire in the city, resettle the people, and send a letter to Xihe as quickly as possible.

It was really a bit of luck to break through Chang'an overnight after the army was under the city for three months.

Now, the Murong Xianbei and Di Qin regimes no longer exist, and the remnant soldiers are nothing to fear, and the Xihe Qin family should go one step further.However, the two brothers knew very well that after taking this step, they would face no less trouble than before.

Especially for Qin Jing, it may increase several times.

"Brother was imprisoned in the mansion, father dealt with the three surnames one after another, but unfortunately some people were still blindfolded by power. This time we captured Chang'an, brother killed Fu Jian with his own hands, should these people be more sober?"

As soon as Qin Jun finished speaking, before Qin Jing could answer, he reported from outside the tent that Envoy Huan came to see him.

"Please!"

Qin Jun smiled at Qin Jing: "This time I was able to win, thanks to the military rations from Youzhou. My brother, you should thank the assassin Huan. Why don't you hold a banquet in the camp tonight?"

"Brother's suggestion is very good." Qin Jing nodded, put down the map in his hand, and looked towards the tent door.

The curtain was lifted, and Huan Rong walked into the big tent, and seeing the Qin brothers who were also wearing Xuanjia, but still had a bit of evil spirit, they couldn't help clicking their tongues.

Slender and tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, he has the heroic and handsome appearance unique to a man from the North.

Should it be said that the Qin family is blessed by nature?

His eyes skipped over Qin Yu, and turned to Qin Jing. While admiring, Huan Shijun unconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth.So terribly handsome, should he admire his foresight, or be seriously jealous?
