Outside Zhangtai Palace, the imperial staff wielded by the official was heavy and powerful, without any compromise. The hem of Zhao Gao's clothes was stained with blood, and his buttocks were beaten.
Zhao Gao gritted his teeth, his head was bleeding and his buttocks were torn apart. But the corners of his mouth were raised, and he was smiling.
The big red glass bead that smashed his head and caused blood flow was seen in Hu Ji's treasure box. It was Hu Ji's relic. But he didn't take it away. He pretended that he didn't search the treasure box.
This glass bead was given to Hu Ji by him.
When he saw this big red glass bead on the desk of the First Emperor, he knew that the matter was over. No matter who brought the glass bead to the First Emperor, as long as it did not pass through his hands, the bead would be more convincing.
The perfect glass beads that only Ying Chengxi could cast were cherished by Hu Ji, the concubine of the First Emperor, and placed in a treasure box together with the portrait of the late King of Chu.
"Chang'an Jun, Gao knows that this move will not defeat you. Don't be in a hurry, take your time..."
Zhao Gao said in a voice that he could not hear:
"Any surname is good in this world, but the surname cannot be Ying."
As the son of the Zhao Kingdom, he came to the side of the First Emperor from the palace and risked his life to protect the First Emperor for ten years. No one can see through his disguise because he even deceived himself.
The severe pain in his buttocks has somewhat subsided. This is not because the man wielding the cane has weakened his strength, but because his buttocks have been beaten to numbness.
He was lying on the stone table in the courtyard, and what he could see were weeds growing out of the gaps in the bluestone slabs.
In such a small space, weeds growing toward the sun cannot be contained. Just like in the heavily guarded Xianyang Palace, Zhao Gao could not be found to be obsessed with revenge.
Zhao Gao did not want to restore the country, which was rotten to the core, where the son starved his father to death, the ministers betrayed the king, and the king abandoned the commander-in-chief.
That Hu-clad horseman and shooter was deeply influenced by the Hu people's culture, abandoning etiquette and ethics. Women are not ashamed of sex, but consider their true nature. Zhao Guo is a country where men do not take private fights as a warning, but regard them as true men.
No matter how many times we try again, as long as we don't change our thinking and introduce reforms, we are doomed to fail. Both of them worshiped martial arts. The Zhao State, which used barbarism to bring about strong force, and the Qin State, which used strict orders to bring strong force, had completely different endings.
There are many happy and tragic people in the land of Yanzhao.
This not only means that chivalry is prevalent in Yan and Zhao, but it also means that the superiors in Yan and Zhao are not well-controlled.
If there is a grievance, it must be redressed. Without injustice, there is no chivalry. If there were strict penalties for private fights and those who broke the law would be punished, there would be no knights who would use force to break the ban.
Zhao State has no shortage of generals and warriors who are good at conquering and fighting, but it lacks the culture that can integrate them all. If a superior person does not think about ruling the world but wants to enjoy happiness and indulge in sexual desires, how can great things be accomplished?
Zhao Gao himself knew how much he weighed, and he knew that he could not restore Zhao, and that it would be in vain and would be nothing more than another collapse. But as the son of the Zhao Kingdom, if you can't recover the country, you must be able to avenge it.
He only had one daughter, and he decided to commit suicide without leaving a son to inherit his family name, leaving no escape route for himself.
He could have killed the First Emperor numerous times, but that was not what he wanted. Even after killing the First Emperor, Qin still could not collapse.
There are a group of veterans who have pacified the Six Kingdoms, and there is a Lord Chang'an who is not in the government but in the opposition. If the First Emperor dies, the Qin State will just change to another Qin King, and the Qin State will still stand.
Just like when King Wu of Qin suddenly died while holding a tripod, the world thought that the turbulent situation of Qin's loss of the king was the best opportunity to attack, and that it was Qin's turn from prosperity to decline.
King Qin Zhaoxiang, who was previously unknown and hastily succeeded, took Bai Qi as his commander and killed so many people in the world that no one dared to say a word. Let the kings of the five kingdoms gather in Qin, and no one will say that it is inappropriate to call him the Western Emperor.
King, Qin has never been in short supply.
Zhao Gao understood very early that if he wanted the Qin State to collapse, it would be useless to simply assassinate the king and kill him.
There is no guarantee that the next King of Qin will be a fool who can obey his orders and fall out of nowhere. Just like when the State of Qin used a stratagem to get King Zhao to kill Li Mu, destroy the Great Wall, and destroy his own country, he, Zhao Gao, would be more loyal than anyone else.
He regarded the First Emperor as his king.
He regarded the First Emperor as his father.
When the time comes, he will regard the First Emperor as his enemy!
In a wasteland outside Xianyang City, there is a brocade quilt. Outside the brocade quilt were two eunuchs who were buried with their eyes open. Inside the brocade quilt was Hu Ji, whose waist was less than a hand's grasp. Zhao Gao raised the corner of her mouth and died with a smile on her face.
There are no signs on this wasteland. Soon, the soil will corrode the charming appearance and turn the red pink into a skeleton.
Hu Ji, the subjugated princess of Da Chu, was buried simply and died lightly. He died in obscurity not for Zhao Gao, but for the collapse of the Qin Empire.
As for her parent and son Ying Huhai, if Hu Ji had any feelings at all, she would not let Ying Huhai indulge in such indulgence until he was at this age, and he had never been enlightened.
If it weren't for the fear that the First Emperor's wrath would implicate the Chu palace among the six palaces, the eighteenth son of the Qin Empire would have been strangled to death by his biological mother's hands.
Some people want to inherit the throne with their own children, inherit this unified empire, and become the master of the world. It doesn’t matter whether he belongs to Qin, Chu, Zhao, Zheng, or Wei, as long as the person who rules the world is my son.
The subjugated princess of Da Chu didn’t think so.
She misses the Chu girl described in the description as "both looking and smiling, admiring her and being kind and graceful".
She misses the great shaman "who took a long breath to cover her tears and lamented the hardships of the people's livelihood", which describes her loyalty to the people of Chu, respect for God and love for her people.
She misses the worship of gods and shamans who "point to the nine heavens and think they are right, because they are spiritually cultivated."
She missed Chu State and everything about Chu State.
In this world, no country is better than Chu, and no people are better than Chu people.
She is proud, and Chu people are also proud.
This pride does not come out of thin air, it is fought out, and it is a fire ignited by being excluded!
The ancestor of the Chu people was Zhuanxu Emperor Gaoyang, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor. Gaoyang's grandson Chongli was a Huozheng and was responsible for handling national affairs.
Chong Li was appreciated by Emperor Ku and was given the title of Zhu Rong. This is also the origin of the totem of Chu State.
The ancestors of the Chu State are descendants of serious Chinese people. The Chu State, which calls itself a barbarian, is more upright than most vassal states.
During the great war between Shang and Zhou, the people of Chu followed King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, and made great achievements in defeating Zhou. However, because the Chu people had intermarryed with the Miao people, the vassal states in the Central Plains had always been biased against the Chu people, thinking that they were not orthodox in China, so the Chu people were not granted confederation for a long time.
Until the time of King Zhao of Zhou Dynasty, the people of Chu reluctantly established a country with a land area of only fifty miles. King Zhao of Zhou invited all the vassal states to participate in the alliance meeting. At the alliance meeting, the king of Chu was arranged to light a fire with the real barbarian king Xianbei.
The king of Chu was ashamed and angry. How could the proud Chu people swallow this bad breath? After returning, he cut off the tribute from Emperor Zhou.
King Zhao of Zhou ordered the princes to attack the Chu State. The Chu State, which was only a mere fifty miles away, made the countries of the Zhou Dynasty see the tenacity and unyieldingness of the Chu people. The armies that attacked the Chu State twice were defeated and returned.
King Zhao of Zhou issued an edict stating that it was a grave crime for Chu State to fail to pay tribute.
The Chu State replied: "The Emperor of Zhou regards me as a barbarian. How can any barbarian pay tribute to the Emperor of Zhou?"
This is the first time that Chu calls itself a barbarian.
Since you all say that I am a barbarian, then I am a barbarian. You do not want to associate with me, a Chu people, so why do you think that I, a Chu people, rarely want to work with you?
King Zhou Zhao was furious after hearing this and summoned the army again. This time he went on a personal expedition and was bound to destroy Chu. The result of this war was that Emperor Zhou's army was completely annihilated, Chu State was not destroyed, and King Zhao Zhao of Zhou who looked down upon Chu State died in the battle.
The Chu State used a small area of fifty miles to deprive the emperor of the world of the Zhou Dynasty from the throne. This was Yin Shi who saw the Zhou Dynasty turn from prosperity to decline.
After this battle, the Chu State, which no longer paid tribute, only believed in itself and took the opportunity to annex many territories. The proud Chu people did not need the Emperor Zhou to reward them with fiefdoms. They could do whatever they wanted!
From then on, Emperor Zhou's prestige was greatly lost.
During the reign of King Zhou Yi, there were many copper mines in the territory of Hubei.
In the Zhou Dynasty, sacrificial supplies, soldiers' weapons, and circulating coins were all bronze supplies, and copper mines were fixed assets and money. In order to seize mineral resources, King Zhou Yi brazenly sent troops to attack the country of Hubei. In order to monopolize the country of E, King Zhou Yi issued an edict ordering all the princely states not to participate in the war.
Under the remaining power of the Zhou Dynasty
, no one in the princely states moved, only Chu State did.
Xiong Qu, the king of Chu State, once again attacked the State of E on the grounds that I was a barbarian and refused to obey the imperial edict of the Emperor of Zhou.
At this time, the State of E was fighting fiercely with King Zhou Yi. The State of Chu took advantage of the situation and occupied most of the territory of the State of E. Since then, Chu State has become Great Chu.
King Zhou Yi lost his army and generals, and even made wedding clothes for Chu State. He was already very angry.
After withdrawing from the country of Hubei, Xiong Qu did something that shocked the world.
Xiong Qu claimed: I am a barbarian, and I will not give up the title of China, so I will make my three sons king.
There is only one king in the world, and that is the Emperor of Zhou.
Xiong Qu named his three sons kings, making them equal to the Emperor of Zhou.
What bullshit, Emperor Zhou, is on the same level as my son, my young father!
King Zhou Yi became bedridden in anger and died in depression.
The two emperors of Zhou died at the hands of the proud state of Chu.
Hu Ji’s original surname is Xiong, and her full name is Xiong Hu Ji. She inherited the Chu people’s pride in calling themselves barbarians.
If this world is not Chu State, then her son, Xiong Hu Ji, is the leader of the world, and she would not be surprised!
As a member of the Chu royal family, she believed in gods and had learned witchcraft since she was a child. Before she died, she used witchcraft to try to communicate with the supreme god Donghuang Taiyi who protected the people of Chu.
Then, she used her finger as a pen and wrote five Chu characters on the brocade quilt that were invisible and could not leave any trace, and that only she knew.

The uncle who took good care of him and was very good to him was really angry. He restrained his temper and said seriously:
"No matter how good you are at learning swordsmanship, even if you become the best swordsman in the world like Genie, you are just an ordinary person who can resist one person.
"As for studying, it is enough for Yu to be able to write his own name. If you want to restore Chu, literati cannot do it.
"If Yu wants to learn, he must learn something that can withstand thousands of troops. Otherwise, it will not be enough to regain the Chu Kingdom."
Xiang Liang's anger subsided, but his face was still cold, but his grip on his nephew's arm was loosened.
"In that case, my uncle will teach you the art of war. As the grandson of Lord Wu An, you must not disgrace your great father's reputation!"
"only!"
The fourteen-year-old boy nodded solemnly, wanting to learn the art of war well and regain the Chu Kingdom in the future.
Eight days later.
Inside a house that is shabby on the outside but luxurious on the inside.
Xiang Liang stood up and looked at his nephew sitting on the bench with a chill.
"Can you say that again."
"I don't want to learn the art of war anymore."
"What on earth are you going to do!"
The veins on Xiang Liang's forehead popped out and were about to explode.
On the round wooden table, military books were scattered randomly.
"Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Wu Zi's Art of War", "Sun Bin's Art of War", etc., which are rare for ordinary people to see, are all scattered, looking as if they have been read.
"Yu has already read these military books, and it is useless to read them any further."
Xiang Liang is chubby, and his face that smiles all year round is distorted by anger.
"You finished reading it in just eight days? How did you read it?"
The boy who was born with a heavy child looked at his uncle with strange eyes.
"Uncle, you haven't finished reading these books in eight days? May I ask how you read them?"
Bang~
Xiang Liang slapped his hand on the round table, and the precious military classics on the table bounced around.
"How dare Shu Zian tease me like this!"
Xiang Yu didn't know why his uncle was angry, it was very strange.
There were only so many words in these books, so he read them while playing. What was there to be angry about after reading them? Looking too fast?
"Where am I teasing uncle?"
