After Yingbu led the craftsmen to rebel and leave the customs, the State of Qin paid more attention to it. Those ministers advised the Second Emperor that public security management must be strengthened. One day, the Second Emperor took Zhao Gao to Shanglin Garden for inspection and inspected the Lieutenant Army. This was the first and last time Emperor II had contact with the army in his life. After the inspection, he drove back to the palace. When passing the ancestral temple, I suddenly saw a group of sparrows flying into the temple. The second generation thought that the ancestral temple was a sacred place, and if Queer broke in without permission, he would definitely be blaspheming the gods, so he hurried into the temple to check. It didn't matter what he saw, he was so angry that he was shaking all over. It turned out that the sacrificial tables, shrines, cauldrons, incense burners, floors, beams, etc. in the temple were all covered with sparrow droppings. The Second Emperor was furious and immediately ordered Zhao Gao to bring the guarding officials, reprimanded them face to face and then killed them. Then order people to clean it. The officials worked for a long time to clean everything. At this time, the second generation was murmuring in his heart, wondering if what happened today might offend the gods. He went inside in person, burned incense, knelt down and prayed silently, asking his ancestors not to sin against him.
After finishing his prayer, II walked out and suddenly saw a group of rats walking on the steps, lining up in a queue, not afraid of people at all. The second generation was puzzled: Such rats dared to behave openly, so he sent people to drive them away, and then blocked the rat holes, and then walked towards Xianyang Palace. But after walking for a while, I suddenly saw a big white tiger walking along the street. People on the left and right screamed in fright. The Second Emperor was frightened and ordered the samurai to kill him. The crossbowmen fired their arrows together and shot the big tiger to death. When the second emperor saw that the tiger was dead, he angrily asked Zhao Gao to investigate the matter. In a short time, Zhao Gao brought the people from Shanglinyuan back to report that the tiger escaped because the guard of the tiger enclosure failed in his duty. It turns out that the wildlife park of the Qin State is located in Shanglin Garden. They are animals specially designed for the royal children to play and watch. The second generation was furious and killed the people guarding the tiger enclosure, and then returned to the palace with lingering fear. In the next few days, many strange things happened:
First, officials who inspected the suburbs of Xianyang came to report that at the execution ground where prisoners were often executed, some people saw some headless corpses walking at night, looking very strange. There are also many people whose sewing baskets mysteriously disappear at night. After a while, someone discovered that some dead bodies were sewing wounds on themselves on the execution ground, and some even had their heads and bodies completely sewn up. When daybreak, some brave people came to see the sewn dead bodies as if they were alive. Some people even recognized that those sewing baskets belonged to someone else, or they were from a tailor shop, but they didn't dare to pick them up again. So people have spread rumors that Xianyang City is full of ghosts. Those who were killed went to a tailor shop to get needles and threads, and then sewed their heads and bodies together, just to come back to life.
Another official from Longxi came to report that a village at the foot of the Bird and Rat Cave Mountain mysteriously disappeared overnight, and only one person in the village survived. The person who made the report said this: The man who survived usually slept well. One day he woke up in the morning and saw no one at home, so he called his family, but no one agreed, so he got up to see what was going on. But after searching the whole house, there was no family member to be seen. However, water was still boiling in the pot, and the yard outside was only half swept, as if someone had just left. This man was very confused, so he walked out of the house and went to the street to check. The street was also empty. The doors and windows of the shops were open, and the street vendors were also setting up, but there was no one. What was even more strange was that there was not even a single person. The livestock were out of sight. This man was very confused and ran around looking for living creatures. For most of the day, there was still no sign of anyone. It seemed that except for the houses in the village, all humans and animals had evaporated from the world. The man was very frightened, so he hurried home with a lot of luggage and food rations, hoping to escape from this place. But after walking for a while, he found an acquaintance. This person was stuck between the branches and could not walk. The man came forward to ask about the situation. The man's eyes were closed tightly, and he was silent, which was quite strange. The man rescued him. The strange thing is that the rescued person didn't say a word and just walked on his own. The man followed him. They came to the intersection in the north of the village and suddenly discovered a large ravine. There was no such ravine here before. At this moment, I saw the rescued man suddenly speeding up and jumping into the ravine as he ran. This man was very strange. When he stepped forward to take a look, he collapsed to the ground in fear. It turned out that all the people and animals in the village were inside. Their blood was boiling and their flesh and blood were blurred. The man was so frightened that he pissed himself and ran away to the north. But he hadn't gone far when he suddenly heard a loud noise like the earth was shattering behind him. When he looked back, he found that the entire village had disappeared, leaving only dust in the sky. Officials from the field went there to investigate the situation, and the petrified man told what had happened.
Officials also reported that there was a white rainbow in the Wei River that penetrated the sky. Where white rainbows appear, there are many eels. And the common people spread rumors: the eels appeared, and the war was in chaos.
This series of strange things made the second generation dizzy, so he had insomnia all night long. One night, the second generation thought of many strange things, and was still frightened in his heart. When he fell asleep in the middle of the night, he suddenly saw a person walking in from outside the palace door. The second generation took a closer look and saw that it was his eldest brother Fusu. The second generation asked uneasily: "Are you the eldest brother?" The man replied: "I am the eldest brother, do you still recognize me?" When the second generation saw that it was his eldest brother Fusu, he became nervous, thinking that the eldest brother was already there. do you died? How is he still alive? Did the messenger lie? He's not dead at all. Did you come here today to settle accounts with me? If he is not killed, Dune's conspiracy will be exposed by him, and my emperor will not be able to do it. He ordered the people around him to push Fusu out and behead him. Fusu said quietly: "Little brother, you don't have to be afraid, haven't you already sent me to death?" The second generation recalled vaguely how his eldest brother was sent to death, and asked: "Why are you still here after you died?" Su said: "I'm here to claim my life!" The second generation was so shocked that he lost his mind. Fusu suddenly changed his expression and said: "Brother, you are such a bastard! You shouldn't have listened to the slander and conspired to usurp the throne? Why did you forge an edict to kill me? What a good thing you did! If you kill me, forget it. But why do you still want to kill so many ministers? And all the brothers and sisters? You are really crazy! You are a ruthless and unjust king, a tyrant! Give me back my life quickly!" After saying this, his eyes were bleeding and tears were pouring down. . The second generation was so frightened that he turned around and ran away while calling someone. But he fell again and suddenly woke up, only to realize that it was a nightmare.
The second generation screamed in the nightmare, which attracted many serving ladies, but the second generation did not dare to tell them the matter. After a while, he fell asleep again. Suddenly he saw Meng Tian and Meng Yi approaching and cursed: "Hunjun! The two of us have made great contributions to the country, what's the fault of condemning us to death? You are not worthy of being the emperor? Your conspiracy will definitely be known to the world, Hunjun ! Give me back my life quickly, give me my life back..." The second generation shouted, and after waking up with sweat on his head, he hurriedly called: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly! Go and invite Mr. Zhao!" Zhao Gao arrived after hearing the news. The second generation was sweating profusely, so he stepped back and told Zhao Gao what happened in his dream. After hearing this dream, Zhao Gao murmured in his heart and comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't be afraid. This is because you are too worried about Sand Dune being known to the world, so you have such a dream. You are the Lord of Ten Thousand Vehicles, really. Emperor Long, what can the ghost do to you? I will stay with you now, and the ghost will not dare to come again!" Accompanied by Zhao Gao, the second generation stayed until dawn.
II spent several days in a state of extreme panic. One night, he dreamed that Jiang Lu and other fifteen brothers came to his residence, and they all angrily said: "Boy Hu Hai, you listened to the bad words of the traitor, mutilated your flesh and blood, and killed the ministers. The foundation created by your father will be ruined." I'm going to die in your hands! You tyrant! Give me back my life! We died so unjustly!" After saying that, they all came forward to tear the second generation apart. The second generation was so frightened that he turned around and ran away, but he couldn't run away. Then suddenly I saw all the sisters blocking the entrance of the palace, some wanted their heads, some wanted their arms, they looked very scary. The second generation had nowhere to hide. At this time, he saw the fifth brother Xinji picking up the inkstone on the table and throwing it at him, hitting him in the waist. The second generation screamed and woke up. It was another nightmare, and he felt a vague pain in his lower back. The second generation was very frightened, so he asked his left and right to check his body, but he was in good health and there was nothing abnormal. The Second Emperor quickly summoned Zhao Gao and told him what happened in the dream. Zhao Gaoye felt incredible.
A few days later, the second generation suddenly felt pain in his lower back. The pain became worse and worse, and he even developed a sore. Zhao Gao asked the imperial physician to treat him. The imperial doctor sucked out the pus and blood and applied ointment, and the pain slowly eased. But because of this period of fright, the second generation slowly fell ill. One day, he said to Zhao Gao in private: "It is true that the ministers and brothers and sisters killed them without committing any crime, so the ghosts of evil spirits often come to haunt them. Is there anything I can do to stop these ghosts?" Zhao Gao thought for a while and said, Said: "I have an idea." The second generation asked what the idea was. Zhao Gao said: "Ask a mage to set up a mandala in the palace. If you chant the mantra during the day and night, the ghosts will not dare to come again." The second generation urged Zhao Gao to find the mage quickly. Zhao Gao found a wizard named Wu Dan. The wizard set up a mandala in the palace and put up Yin talismans, and he practiced and recited mantras day and night. Zhao Gaoye accompanied the wizard to drive away the ghosts, and everyone in the palace was also busy helping. Everyone was very busy. Within a few days, this majestic Xianyang Palace was filled with smoke and smoke, as if it had become the Palace of Hell in the underworld. Ministers who came to give advice were turned away by the guards.
