Qin State wanted to arrest the remaining nobles of the six countries, and the Emperor of Qin was very happy about this. A few months later, Shandong suffered another severe drought. Officials reported the damage done to the people to Xianyang, and the emperor was deeply worried about this. At this moment, suddenly another official from Shandong came to report another thing, saying that Langye Tower had been completed. At this time, Emperor Qin thought of Xu Fu, and wanted to patrol the East again on the pretext of observing the disaster, and wanted to urge Xu Fu to go to sea for him to seek the art of immortality as soon as possible.
When all the officials heard that the emperor was going on patrol again, they all expressed their opposition. Prime Minister Zuo Wei Zhuang took the lead in admonishing: "Your Majesty, the disaster in Shandong is serious. The court should send officials to fight the drought and provide disaster relief. How can you go on patrol at this juncture?" Emperor Qin said: "I decided to go on tour just to understand the disaster situation. Why do you Stop him?" Wei Zhuang said in fear: "I boldly request your Majesty: Now we should send officials to Shandong to inspect the disaster situation, and then open warehouses to provide relief to the victims according to the situation. If the people have food, they must be grateful to your Majesty. This is much better than the effect of a patrol. !" Right Prime Minister Wang Wan also said: "Prime Minister Wei is right. Going on patrol at this time will only make the people worse off. It is better to save the money and food for the patrol to help the victims." After hearing what the two men said, Emperor Qin said unhappily. : "The support for the patrol is all provided by the government, and the people are not allowed to contribute anything. How can it be said to be adding insult to injury? Moreover, some people are very dissatisfied with the demise of the Six Kingdoms. I want to personally experience the disaster and eliminate their resentment. This move It is for the sake of my people in the Qin Dynasty. What’s more, the emperor has been caring about the people since ancient times, so why do you have to say so much!"
Seeing that the emperor insisted on going on patrol, Wei Zhuang confessed all his concerns. He said bluntly: "Your Majesty, once your car is driven out, it will cost at least one hundred thousand yuan every day. Even if you don't tax the people's money or things, it will cost you at least 100,000 yuan." It consumes a lot of food, which is the first reason why we can't go on patrol. Last year, Xu Fu recruited boys and girls in Shandong, and the people were very resistant. This is the second reason why we can't go on patrol. His Majesty also sent 30,000 households in Shandong to The people were forcibly moved to the foot of Langye Mountain, causing them to suffer the pain of relocation. The people were dissatisfied, which was the third reason why they could not go on patrol. The Qin State also searched for descendants of nobles from the six countries across the country. These people felt dissatisfied. He must be dissatisfied. Due to these factors, I am afraid that there are many unforeseen events during this patrol, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to suspend the patrol!" The Prime Minister's words were frank, and as expected, his loyal words were offensive. Emperor Qin became angry and said, "How dare you, Prime Minister, teach me a lesson? In the past, you guys Everyone says that patrols are a good thing for the Qianqiu hegemony, so why are you opposed now?" Wang Wan replied: "The situation was different between the past and now. I originally advised Your Majesty to go on patrol in order to understand the sentiments of the people, but now Shandong has encountered an unprecedented severe drought. The people still suffered from the loss of their children, and the nobles of the six countries also resented the loss of their country and their families. How could they not feel resentful in their hearts, so..." Before the prime minister could finish speaking, Emperor Qin scolded: "Okay! People The disaster really came from heaven. I will go to the east to pray to the gods, asking God to send down rain, and let the leaders of Guizhou know my love for the people. I have made up my mind, you don't need to remonstrate anymore!" When the two prime ministers saw this, they had to shrink back and retreat. .
Emperor Qin's attitude at this time aroused panic among the ministers. They could not understand why the emperor was angry? This is different from the previous King of Qin. When he conquered the six kingdoms in the past, when did he not obey the advice like a stream of words? But now he not only refuses to accept loyal advice, but also gets angry at his ministers. Could it be that Lord Guo Wei said, "Your Majesty can only share adversity but not wealth and honor." 'Is this true? Now it is clear that various parts of Shandong are suffering from severe drought, but the emperor has to go on patrol at this time. Why is this? As a founding king of our country, where has the former wisdom gone? Take the recruitment of boys and girls in Shandong last year as an example. He has become tyrannical. How can the recruitment of boys and girls be accepted by the people? Also, when he visited Xiangshan Mountain in the south, he burned the mountain and destroyed the temple at all costs just because of the disturbance in the lake, in order to alarm the people. From these two incidents, we can see that the current emperor is no longer the former King of Qin who accepted advice humbly. He has changed and become violent and arbitrary. Not only the prime minister, but also all the ministers have felt this obvious change, but everyone can only accept what the emperor does.
One day in the early spring of 218 BC, the First Emperor began his third grand tour in his life. This time he still ordered Fu Su to supervise the country, Wei Liao to assist, and Meng Tian to guard the capital. All the other ministers accompanied him, and he also allocated 50,000 soldiers and 200,000 troops to escort him. When the news spread to the east, the people were disappointed.
In Chengfu County, Sishui County, Shi Lizi, Hua Wuhai and others were practicing martial arts in a dense forest. Shi Lizi practiced throwing cones, and he could already throw the large iron vertebra weighing 120 kilograms 200 meters away, and he could hit the target with every shot. One day, Zhang Liang ran out of breath and said, "Brother, good news! Good news!" Seeing Zhang Liang's excitement, Shi Lizi put down the iron cone and asked Zhang Liang if he had any good news. At this time, Hua Wuhai and others also gathered around. Zhang Liang said excitedly: "I have already found out that Ying Zheng is going to the east for another patrol. I heard that he has left Hangu Pass and is now heading to Luoyang." Shi Lizi heard that Ying Zheng was about to arrive in Luoyang. He laughed loudly and said, "Ying Zheng has come to die. This is God's will. We should act immediately." Everyone came to the city and told Feng Qi the news. Feng Qi was happy and worried at the same time. He was happy that he could finally avenge South Korea, but he was worried that if things failed, Zhang Liang and the others might have to pay a heavy price. The young master may have embarked on a road of no return, so he couldn't help but burst into tears. Seeing Feng Qi like this, Zhang Liang had no choice but to comfort him with kind words. The six people then said goodbye to Feng Qi and rushed to Sanchuan County overnight.
After Emperor Qin came to Luoyang, he stayed for a few days and then headed east. Zhang Liang and others came to Bolangsha in Yangwu County and found out that this was the only way to go, so they looked for the best place to assassinate. They first hid the iron cone secretly, and then walked on the road of Bolangsha. I found that the terrain here is very complicated. There are big trees planted every three feet on both sides of the road, which look like a green barrier from a distance. It turns out that there are many transport teams on the highway. Some of them are going to Xianyang and some to the north. There are also those who build roads and palaces. There are also those who carry stones and wood, and most of the transport teams are composed of women. In short, people are coming and going on the avenue, which is very lively. The few of them walked along the avenue, carefully observing the terrain, and finally found a relatively remote and safe place. There is a small hill here with lush forests on it. Everyone came here to observe. Zhang Liang watched for a long time, then pointed to the end of the woods and said to Shi Lizi: "Brother, you see, this place is very secluded and convenient for hiding. There is also an escape route at the end of the woods." Then he pointed to the north road, Said: "You can see everything on the road clearly from here. It's really a good place to start!" After listening to Zhang Liang's analysis, Shi Lizi observed it for a while and felt that this place was good, so everyone decided to start here.
Just as everyone was making gestures, a cavalry team suddenly came galloping towards the east. As they ran, they shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor of Qin is on a patrol and will arrive here tomorrow. You must stand in the way to welcome him!" Hide on the side of the road and give way. Shi Lizi and others also quickly pretended to be strong men, and they all lay on the ground to rest together. After a while the cavalry passed by. Shi Lizi quietly said to Zhang Liang: "This must be a sergeant patrolling the road." He laughed happily. Zhang Liang said: "Brother, don't be careless." Shi Lizi said: "Don't worry, there is no one watching here. If Ying Zheng comes, I will smash him to pieces with one cone!" Zhang Liang looked around vigilantly. After a while, seeing that no one was paying attention to them, they walked away relieved. It was getting dark by then, so they went to find a place to spend the night.
Early the next morning, Shi Lizi and others took the iron awl early and went to the place they had predicted in advance to ambush. After an hour, it was already dawn, but Shi Lizi was deeply worried. Zhang Liang asked: "Brother, what are your concerns?" Shi Lizi said: "Brother, you and I know each other, it is God's will. But I am worried that if the assassination fails..." Zhang Liang was shocked: "Brother, why did you say this?" Lizi said: "I'm worried that there are too many people to recognize Ying Zheng's car. What if we make a mistake?" Zhang Liang said: "We should identify it carefully and we won't make a mistake." Shi Lizi hesitated and said: "I heard When Ying Zheng goes on tour, he often brings many concubines with him. They all ride in the same car. It must be difficult to identify them! He may have many vehicles, but I only have one big iron cone. If I make a mistake, all my efforts will be wasted. La. I think, brother Xian, you should go to the side of the road and help me identify it. As soon as Ying Zheng’s car arrives, you immediately take off your hat and signal to me, so that I won’t make a mistake." Zhang Liang was startled, but still hesitate. Shi Lizi said decisively: "How can you do anything important if you are so hesitant? If you hit by mistake, it will be your fault! Get out of here quickly!"
Zhang Liang said sadly: "Brother, what you said makes sense. I will go to the roadside to help you identify him. We must act cautiously and make sure we don't make any mistakes! If we can kill Ying Zheng this time, we will be famous forever!" Shi Lizi smiled and said: "Assassinating Ying Zheng is my business, you don't have to tell me. A real man should leave his name like Jing Ke through the ages! I will definitely kill Ying Zheng this time. If I can kill that guy, I will too." Die without regrets!" Seeing Shi Lizi say the word "die", Zhang Liang scolded: "Brother, why did you say such unlucky words? You and I once swore that we would go through hardships together. If my brother is good or bad, How can I live alone?" Shi Lizi smiled and said: "My dear brother, I know you best. Master Canghai said that you have the talents of a king. I am just a warrior. The world can be without me, but it cannot be without my dear brother! After I kill Ying Zheng, if something unexpected happens, go to Xianyang and write to Fusu, asking him to change the First Emperor's mind, release the boys and girls of Shandong, and do something utilitarian and beneficial to the people." Zhang Liang at this time Only then did he realize that Shi Lizi asked him to leave to protect him, and he burst into tears. Shi Lizi shouted loudly: "Our actions will surely shock the world. Why do you need to act like a son and a daughter?" Zhang Liang had no choice but to say reluctantly: "Brother, please take care of it. After the matter is completed, we will meet at the east gate of Kaifeng. Remember I'll stay at the east city gate. See you there or not!" Shi Lizi agreed. After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he left in tears.
After Zhang Liang left, Shi Lizi asked Hua Wuhai, Zhang Xuan, and Gongsun Zi to disperse, leaving Xiao Jing alone to help him identify the vehicle. After careful planning, everyone was ready and waiting for the shocking move.
Emperor Qin came to Xingyang and marched towards Daliang. He sat in the car and listened to the piano girl playing the piano. The music was melodious, and the soldiers escorting him around were also intoxicated by the sound of the piano. When everyone came to Wuqiangyi, the strings suddenly broke. Emperor Qin was unhappy, so he immediately summoned the doctor and asked: "What is the sign of a broken string?" The doctor replied: "Let me come and divine." The doctor made a divination in front of the car, and the line said: "Change the place and it will be divination." There will be no blame. Emperor Qin asked curiously: "Is there something unexpected?" The doctor said: "'Be careful not to choke when eating, and avoid falling when walking'. What's more, we are far away from Xianyang, so please be cautious. The line says that there will be no fault if you change the place. Please sit in the car at the back to respond to the words." The emperor sat in the car at the back. The piano girl was still playing the piano in the car in front. It turned out that when the emperor set out from Xianyang, in order to prevent accidents, he prepared a companion car, also called a auxiliary car. This car was exactly the same as the one he was riding in. They were both luxurious six-wheel sleeper cars.
As the team continued to move forward, local officials not only had to provide food, but also maintained order. In short, they were very tightly guarded on both sides of the avenue. Everywhere the chariot went, the officials presented him with generous tributes. The onlookers and craftsmen all stopped on the roadside to watch. They were all checked by officers and soldiers and confirmed that there was no danger. At this time, the First Emperor of Qin was like the red sun in the minds of ordinary people, and later history also proved that the First Emperor of Qin was indeed one of the greatest emperors in ancient Chinese history. At this moment, not only the common people were rushing to watch, but even some local officials were crowding in the crowd to watch the holy drive. People wanted to witness the grace of this great human king - the First Emperor who was born on the land of China.
