"So, even though I call myself an official of Qin, people today and people in future generations may still say that Hei Fu is named Qin Prime Minister, but he is actually a Qin thief! Hei Fu's heart is known to everyone on the road!"

He spread his hands and said: "I don't want to argue, but I have to build a memorial for myself. Anyway, in the past twenty years, I have violated the law and discipline, abused power for personal gain, and rebelled against ministers and traitors. I have done a lot of things. I have murdered ministers and shamelessly seized power. I have restrained the superiors from below, the same."

Quite a few.”

"I failed to die a obedient 'Wu Zhonghou' as Emperor Qin Shi Huang hoped."

"I have not been able to become a paper framer who will eventually return the great power, as many die-hard loyalists and nobles with the surname Ying hope."

"I just feel that although it will be difficult for me to keep the word 'Qin' in my life, I can at least keep the word 'official'."

"Officials, the people's lives are at stake. This sentence was told to me by Mr. Xi."

"From the moment I met Mr. Xi to now, Heifu dares to say that all his actions are worthy of the people!"

"So, it really doesn't matter whether I am still a Qin official or not."

"The important thing is that this person may be said to be a Qin thief, someone who will be secretly reviled and verbally criticized by the 'loyal ministers'."

"But he will improve the Qin system and establish a system that can provide an endless supply of 'Qin officials', no, strictly speaking, legal officials!"

"There is no shortage of officials in this world, but there is still a shortage of laws for Xijun."

"The Dharma is the order of the world!"

It represents an ideal, an ideal that has been inherited from the Shang Yang era.

It can make those who have swords in their hands dare not make mistakes.

It can prevent the powerful from bullying the common people wantonly.

It allows humble taxis, as well as military dukes, to have channels for advancement without consolidating their class.

It makes it difficult for thugs who want to split the motherland to succeed.

"But it has been destroyed."

Heifu admitted this without hesitation.

"The First Emperor set an example, and I, as well as those so-called 'heroes,' gave it the heaviest blow."

"Rebuilding is easier said than done. I have to start from scratch, from the moment I established my trust."

"So I need Mr. Xi! I need someone who can bring justice to the world like Mr. Shang!"

"Xijun, you and I are mortal, and the bamboo slips and paper books with the laws and regulations written on them will eventually decay. But I hope that in the improved Qin system, the spirit behind these laws and regulations can be passed down! It will last for thousands of years to come!"

"How long can it last?" Xi asked rhetorically.

At that time, Heifu pointed at the pines and cypresses outside the pavilion and laughed at himself: "At least I can live, the lifespan of a pine tree?"

Thinking of those conversations, the old Qin official stood in front of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, the wind blowing the scarf on his head.

Even when he was dejected and banished to the West, Xi persisted and said to those who laughed at him: "In the forty and hundreds of counties in the Qin Dynasty, there must still be people who adhere to the way of being an official, are respectful and thrifty, and are respectful to the world.

Even if it becomes turbid temporarily, as long as these real Qin officials are still there, it will eventually turn into bright white!"

Now, after waiting for many years, that day may actually have come.

Although this so-called New Qin still has many shortcomings: there is a big gap in the official team, especially in Guandong, and local forces are eager to usurp the fruits of victory. The laws are not perfect enough, some places are too light, and some places are too heavy.

.The seeds of corruption have sprouted among the heroes of reunification, the local judges are both good and bad, and the murderers with backgrounds should be punished but are still at large...

"But aren't laws and regulations used to prevent evil and avoid trouble?"

They are swift civet cats, catching those scurrying rats.

It is also a guard dog, barking at the groping thieves.

It is the rag used by rulers to wipe away evil and make the sky white again.

Yes, it's a tool.

But you can never miss it!

Regarding this trial, I am happy that the outcome of the trial has been reached.

The judge of a case never depends on what a person says, but on what he does!

"Go and report to the regent. I would like to be appointed as the imperial censor."

"Before I go to Huangquan to see the First Emperor and many of my colleagues, I, an old man like me, can still do one last thing for the world and the continuation of the Qin system!"

…

Xi's journey was not over yet. He bypassed the towering Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shihuang and came to the east side of the mausoleum. Underground here were the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, which were still hailed as a wonder even two thousand years later.

Most of the terracotta warriors and horses had been filled with earth and sealed as early as when Hu Hai came to power. Xi can only imagine that the terracotta warriors and horses underground are rows and rows, very neat, arranged in a huge rectangular military formation, really like the time of Qin Shihuang.

He commanded an invincible army that fought in both the south and the north.

However, there are two places that can still be overlooked. It turns out that recently, Duke Xia had people bury the palace ladies and craftsmen who were killed by Hu Hai separately. In the empty burial pits, two more pits with figurines were opened as replacements.

It should also be regarded as the celebration of the anniversary of the reunification of the world, and the last gift to the First Emperor...

With the talisman given by Heifu, Xi was able to take a closer look.

The first pit was relatively small, and the figurines were very uniquely made, but there were only a dozen or so figurines, all holding weapons that they had never heard of or seen after traveling around for so many years.

But I saw a Qin Terracotta Warrior in exquisite clothes lying on the ground, with a crown of vegetation wrapped around his forehead, and a camouflage skin covering his body. He was holding a long stick with two brackets fixed to the ground, and his fingers were clasped on something similar to a crossbow.

On the hanging knife of the machine, his eyes were in front of a cylinder on the stick, staring into the distance...

There is another Qin warrior with a short beard, carrying a sharp weapon on his shoulder, kneeling on one knee, and seems to be aiming at the enemy position in the distance.

There is also a Qin figurine with a thick beard. He looks like an eight-foot tall man. He is carrying a huge multi-barrelled weapon. He looks like the "fireworks" that are commonly used in the army to send messages at night. They are tied together. His posture is very powerful.

.

The Qin warriors at the back hold a trumpet and hold their chests high, as if they are taking a deep breath and blowing a horn of charge.

The leader of the camp at the front holds a weapon shaped like a crossbow with one hand, but without arrows. Instead, it is a thick-barreled weapon. With the other hand, he calls on the soldiers to attack forward. His expression is lifelike...

I was so happy to see it that I couldn't understand it. After asking the official in charge of the place, I found out that these Qin terracotta warriors were drawn by the regent Xia Gong himself and had others follow them.

"Xia Gong said that this is what the army will look like in the next thousand years, and he was made and buried in the soil."

Not only snipers, RPGs, Gatlings, AKs, Heifu also plans to wait for the tenth anniversary to build a "terracotta warriors and horses" square array composed of tanks, motorcycles, and bicycles to send to Emperor Qin Shi Huang to open his eyes...

If it can't be made in reality, is it not easy to make figurines? If future generations dig it out and see it, they will definitely be shocked.

Of course, we also need to bury some statues of various goddesses from Europe and the West, such as Hera, Athena, Artemis, and even those weird-looking gods, and burn some of them for the First Emperor.

After all, the old man is good at this.

Anyway, Xi looked left and right but couldn't understand it, so he came to another pit of figurines in a daze.

There are not so many tricks here, just rows of figurines standing in rows. Officials of the Shaofu said that most of these were before the fall of Hu Hai's regime and there was no time to seal the land. The regent had hundreds more statues added.

But I saw that the general statue was tall and tall, wearing a crown and armor, holding a sword in his hand, and holding his head high. With a calm look on his face, it was clear at a glance that he had been on the battlefield for a long time and had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

The average height of the warrior figurines is eight feet, with strong bodies and well-proportioned bodies. They wear battle robes, leather armor, boots with upturned front ends, and hold gleaming spears in their hands, ready for action.

The cavalry figurines are wearing short armor, tight pants, and long boots. They hold reins in their right hands and crossbows in their left hands, as if they are ready to mount their horses and charge at any time.

The horse figurines are the same size as real horses. Each one is strong and muscular. They look eager to try, as if they will spread their hooves, take off in the air, and embark on a journey at the command.

They are the embodiment of the pinnacle of craftsmanship in this era, with bright colors and different expressions:

Some nodded and lowered their eyebrows thoughtfully, as if they were thinking about how to cooperate with each other to defeat the enemy; some had bright eyes and solemn expressions, as if they were secretly making up their minds and vowed to fight to the death for Qin to unify the world; some clenched their fists.

, as if they were waiting for the trumpet, ready to go out for battle; some stared into the distance, as if missing their relatives in their hometown...

Walking on the pit of figurines, my eyes felt moist for some reason.

He seemed to be able to feel the slight breathing, and heard the mighty killing cry of the Qin army in the great era...

"How can you say that you have no clothes, but you share the same robe with me!"

At the very back of the pit, there are civil servant figurines, some old and some young. Their right armpits all have simulated pottery chips and rectangular bags hanging inside, which are used to place whetstones. The left side of the figurines has

There is a round hole between the elbow and waist, with bamboo slips inside. They put their hands in their sleeves and stand in a standing posture, looking respectful and ready for action at any time.

It seems that when any order arrives, they will immediately take out the bamboo slips and write it down. If there is a mistake, they will immediately use "pee" to scratch it out and rewrite it.

I am happy to see them, as if I am seeing myself.

The Shaofu official knew that the visitor was a "big shot" who was famous all over the world, and whispered: "To be honest with Mr. Xi, Duke Xia himself also had a life-size figurine of his body made, and he is among them!"

"where?"

Xi looked among the group of figurines, among the generals standing at the front, among the civil servants wearing high crowns and robes, and even among the warriors fighting with spears, Hei Fu was nowhere to be found.

"At this."

The Shaofu officials led Xi to the edge of the pit and pointed at the statues standing on the corner.

"Look at that, that's Duke Xia's figurine!"

Xi took a closer look and couldn't help but smile. The figurine's face was painted with brown paint to show that it was dark...

So among the hundreds of figurines, he was the blackest, and he really looked like Heifu when he was young.

Taking a closer look, I saw that this "black husband figurine" wears a crotch neck, a short robe with a cross-collar collar, and linen shoes on his feet. His bun is tilted to the right, and he wears a red turban. He has a rope around his waist and holds a wooden tablet. He is a standard figure.
