In Xianyang City, at night, most people have fallen asleep, and a few people are busy lighting up lights. Li Zhao is one of those few people. He has left the secret military camp and returned to Chang'an Township. At this moment, he can't sleep. Walking in the atrium, thinking about the future.
Suddenly, a bright light with a long tail streaked across the sky, falling rapidly towards the ground.
"meteor?"
Li Zhao smiled slightly when he saw it, and secretly thought that he was really lucky today to catch a shooting star. This was a phenomenon he had never seen since coming to Chang'an Township.
However, the meteor was just passing by and could not cause any disturbance in his heart.
Due to going to bed too late and worrying about the past few days, I slept until noon. When I was deeply asleep, I was woken up by my slave, saying that he was a visitor from the imperial court. Immediately afterwards, Eunuch Shang walked in, ignoring whether Li Zhao was dressed elegantly. , holding him in his arms and about to go out.
Li Zhao was already used to Eunuch Shang's behavior. Although this guy doesn't have a dick, he still has the impatience of a man.
"Why are you so anxious? Wait for me to wash up." Li Zhao shook off Shang Xin's hand and went to wash up.
Shang Xin urged anxiously: "Li Shaonei, His Majesty has summoned you urgently, please hurry up."
"His Majesty summoned me again?" Li Zhao felt puzzled. Last time, His Majesty said that he should not be disturbed if nothing happened, but only a month later, His Majesty was so eager to see him.
Did something big happen?
However, Li Zhao quickly thought of the key point. He must have arrived for the eastward patrol, so His Majesty should ask him about the preparations!
After cleaning up, Li Zhao followed Shang Xin to Zhangtai Palace.
He found that the emperor's expression was very wrong today, his brows could not be opened, and there was a thick haze hidden between his brows.
If the emperor's expression was desolate some time ago, then today's expression is terrifying.
Li Zhao was frightened by such a embarrassed expression. After a brief greeting, he came to the emperor's side according to the emperor's instructions and stood there timidly, not daring to breathe.
He believed that something big must have happened, otherwise even the lonely old man would not have such an expression. Perhaps, it was not just as simple as asking about preparations.
Ying Zheng shouted away all the attendants, and there were only two people left in the huge hall. He spoke slowly and in a low voice.
"Li Zhao, how about the elite training of the Tiger Division?"
"I will definitely not disappoint His Majesty."
The emperor nodded, without delving too deeply into the meaning of this topic. He reached into his arms, took out a stone, and held it in his hand. His expression suddenly became solemn, and he seemed to be violent.
Li Zhao was shocked by such an aura and immediately stepped back and knelt down, not daring to say a word.
"Last night, a star passed by and fell on Dongjun. A stone was born. Do you know whether this stone will be good or bad?"
Starfall? That is, shooting stars.
Stone?
Li Zhao was stunned. He did see a meteor last night. Is there any good or bad thing about this meteor? Meteors are meteorites from the sky and are just normal natural phenomena. According to science, there can be no good or bad luck. However, Da Qin is a feudal society and there is no science. Some people can easily associate it with good or bad luck due to natural phenomena.
"I really don't know this."
Ying Zheng frowned and looked at Li Zhao with a serious expression and did not react immediately. Of course, he was listening to Li Zhao's voice, but after two moments of silence, Li Zhao had no voice and he couldn't help but be disappointed.
"Really?" Huang turned the stone over, revealing the front, and said, "This was found where the star fell this morning. Look at the top."
Li Zhao looked at it and was shocked. He saw seven words written on it: "The First Emperor died and the earth was divided." For a moment, he knelt down even more and lowered his head.
"Your Majesty, I didn't see anything."
These seven words frightened him.
"No problem!" Ying Zheng waved his hand and motioned for Li Zhao to stand up, "The record of this thing has been spread throughout Dongjun. You are not the only one who saw this. There is no need to be so alarmed."
"I just want to hear your opinion."
Li Zhao stood up, calmed down, took a deep breath, frowned, as if he was organizing his words, and seemed to be worried about something.
In fact, he was not worried about anything, but remembered an interesting story recorded in history.
Before Qin Shihuang's last eastward tour, three major events happened in the world. The first one: Yinghuo Shouxin; the second one: a meteor fell into Dongjun and turned into a stone when it hit the ground. On the stone were engraved seven words: "The First Emperor died and the earth was divided"; Case: When the envoy passed by Shudao in Huayin, someone appeared with a jade, claiming that "the ancestor dragon died this year", and the jade was a Shen bi that sank in the river during a tour eight years ago.
These three things all foreshadowed that Qin Shihuang was about to die.
At this moment, the words on the stone confirm this statement, which means that the interesting history may be true.
But even if it was true, he couldn't say it! His head doesn't want to fall to the ground yet.
"I believe this is a good omen. The falling of stars from the sky means good luck. This indicates that His Majesty's eastward tour will shock the world and make our Qin Dynasty prosperous for thousands of years."
After speaking, Li Zhao lowered his head subconsciously, as if he had done something wrong.
But the words in my heart couldn't help but come out: Hey! Yinghuo Shouxin, the star falling to the east county, and Huayin Shudao holding the jade all indicate that Qin Shihuang is about to face death. Do I dare to say such things? I still want my head hanging on my head.
Um!
Ying Zheng was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Li Zhao's words, but suddenly he heard the voice of his heart again, and his brows instantly furrowed.
Confused and guarding your heart? Indeed, these days there are rumors among the people that Yingzhuo Shouxin is in trouble, causing people to panic. Yinghuo is a symbol of war and death. It is an ominous star that heralds the coming of war or death.
Because of this, he specially sent people to suppress the rumors.
But now I heard from Li Zhao's heart that I was really surprised. Yinghuo Shouxin was there, and Xingyin fell to Dongjun. Although Huayin Shudao Chibi did not appear, there were two of the three. Did it foreshadow him? Must die?
Am I really going to die?
Ying Zheng looked at the stone, his expression getting more and more ugly.
"It's just that! Omens are always superstitious. If you believe it, there will be it. If you don't believe it, there will be nothing."
When Ying Zheng heard this, his eyebrows widened. If you believe it, there will be it; if you don’t believe it, there will be nothing? What’s the meaning of this? Are you telling me not to believe it, so I won’t die?
He glanced at Li Zhao with complicated eyes.
"Of course, it's not ruled out that someone did it intentionally."
Did it happen on purpose?
Ying Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and his expression became terrifying.
Someone did it deliberately. Doesn't this mean that someone wants me to die? who? Who wants me to die so much?
The next moment, three people appeared in his mind, Zhao Gao and Li Si, two treasonous people, his son, a man who tricked and killed his relatives.
Damn it, they all deserve to die, for daring to plot against me.
At this moment, Ying Zheng calmed down, and indescribable emotions flowed in the air...
Li Zhao was also surprised by his idea. According to historical records, there was no intentional intention. Qin Shihuang's death was entirely caused by heavy metals corroding his body.
Did it happen on purpose?
etc!
Suddenly, Li Zhao thought of something and was startled. An ominous thought came to his mind.
