"Your Majesty, there is no news from the Zhongche Prefecture. The northern army has yet to move!”
The East Chamber chamberlain bowed his head and reported.
Hearing this, Ying Ze Jiu took in a deep breath and clenched his fists. It had to be said that Great Qin was currently in the most dire situation it had ever faced.
During this period of time, Ziying had temporarily succeeded to the throne and shouldered the responsibility. However, after killing Huhai and Zhao Gao, he had taken over the authority of Great Qin, so he had to bear the pressure.
"Prepare the edict!"
"I, the Great Qin Emperor, the 20th son of the First Emperor, Yingze Jiu, hereby announce to the people of the world that Hu Hai, who faked the imperial edict and caused chaos in the country, killed the imperial clan and meritorious deeds without authorization, causing internal and external turmoil.”
"The world is in turmoil, and the people are in dire straits. This is the fault of the Ying Qin royal family and I. I have let down the people!”
"Zhang Han saved Great Qin in danger and fought against the rebel army. His criminal army fought to the death for the country and did not reward him for his meritorious service. This is the fault of me and the Ying Qin royal family.”
"Ever since I ascended the throne, the world has fallen apart. The rebels are in chaos everywhere. The people do not live, and the soldiers do not fight.”
"These are the three crimes. Therefore, from today onwards, Great Qin will open up all the granaries to relieve the people, pardon the innocent, and let them return to the countryside."
The entire main hall of the city was deathly silent. The chamberlain was holding his brush meticulously. The hearts of all the generals trembled, and they looked at Ying Ze Jiu with reverence in their eyes.
Ever since the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Xia Jie, Shang Zhou, and even King You of Zhou, there had been countless fatuous rulers who had caused chaos in the country. However, there had never been a ruler who would admit his sins in public.
Moreover, Ying Zejiu had done nothing wrong. Everything that happened in the past was done by Huhai, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty. All he did was take over the position of emperor.
However, Ying Ze Jiu didn't avoid the mistakes of the Qin royal family in the past. Instead, he took all the blame on himself and issued an edict to punish them. This was an announcement to the people of the world. How benevolent and wise was this?
"Your Majesty, we admire your magnanimity!”
In the city, the generals, led by Gao Shun, kowtowed sincerely and sincerely.
Looking at the dark scene in front of him, Ying Ze Jiu shook his head and said blandly,"The world has suffered for Qin for a long time. This is my fault for defeating the Qin royal family.”
"However, Zhang Han led the army to lead the way for the rebels. This is an unpardonable crime. Generals, listen up. Anyone who betrays the country and aids the evil shall be killed without mercy!”
"Yes!"
Gao Shun and the others immediately shouted to receive the order.
"Today, our Great Qin is facing enemies on all sides. As long as the people of Qin are not destroyed, the country will last forever.”
With a straight gaze, Ying Ze Jiu stood up abruptly, faced the pass, and raised his arms as he shouted.
"Jiujiu Old Qin, let's go to the national disaster together. We won't stop fighting until our blood runs dry!”
"Jiujiu Old Qin, let's go to the national disaster together. We won't stop fighting until our blood runs dry!”
"Jiujiu Old Qin, let's go to the national disaster together. We won't stop fighting until our blood runs dry!”
At this moment, whether it was the commoners or the soldiers of the Qin army, all of them had solemn expressions as they shouted in unison. Their voices even broke through the clouds and spread across hundreds of miles.
In the past, during the most difficult time, Duke Xiao of Qin led tens of thousands of old Qin people from Longxi. He recited a blood oath and fought back to Guanzhong step by step. He occupied the land west of Hangu Pass, which was called 800 miles of fertile land in Qinchuan.
Today, Great Qin was facing a life and death situation, and the six million old Qin people would once again shout this oath and rise up once again. Their unyielding and victorious faith filled the entire pass.
Ying Ze Jiu knew very well that the prosperity of a country and a people required a spirit, and the spirit of the Great Qin Empire was based on slogans.
As long as the Qin people did not forget their oath, their blood would not cool down, and the Great Qin Empire would not perish.
"Order the East Chamber to immediately send this edict to Xianyang. Order Xianyang Magistrate Jiang Wan to immediately spread it throughout the world!”
Looking down at Wu Guan, Ying Ze Jiu's eyes were filled with endless desire. He said in a deep voice,"Zhen wants to let every old Qin person know that with Zhen around, the Qin country will not perish.”
"Yes!"
After the chamberlain left, Gao Shun opened his mouth and praised,""Your Majesty, if the six million old Qin people in Guanzhong hear your edict, their blood will boil and they will protect Great Qin.”
"However, outside Wu Pass, Liu Bang's hundreds of thousands of men are eyeing us covetously, while Xiang Yu's 600,000-strong army is heading straight for Hangu.”
"The most important thing is that Zhang Han will lead the 200,000 criminal army as the vanguard. With his prestige, once they advance, I'm afraid that the garrison at Hangu Pass will surrender upon hearing the news.”
For a moment, the atmosphere in the city became more and more solemn. The Qin Emperor's three edicts calmed the hearts of the people in Guanzhong, but they could not calm the hearts of the people in Hangu.
Hearing this, Ying Ze Jiu remained silent for a long time, then said,"I have already ordered the Yong City Army to make preparations. If the two hundred thousand people in the north are unwilling to go south, then Xue Rengui will rush to Hangu Pass at night.”
"Wei Qing, who is stationed in Hanzhong, has already arrived at Xianyang. The 300,000 new soldiers in Guanzhong are quickly armed with the help of the palace guards.”
"In addition, the people of the East Chamber have already planted spies several years ago. Now, those people have all become high-ranking members of the criminal army.”
"As long as Xiang Yu dares to send Zhang Han to persuade them to surrender, then the 200,000 convicts will immediately turn against us and attack from both inside and outside.”
