Xiang Liang was silent for a long time without saying a word.
He no longer had the ambition he had when he escaped, and he only wanted to stay safe here.
Looking at his somewhat angry and anxious nephew, he immediately said: "Why are you so anxious?"
"Although that tyrant Ying Zheng is cruel, he is not a stupid person."
There was some pride in Xiang Liang's expression: "He knows what we and the other nobles from the Six Kingdoms are planning. Now he is pressing harder and harder, just to let us jump out."
Xiang Liang's mind was like a knot.
"Could he really force us to rebel?"
"What good will it do him if we rebel?"
Xiang Liang was silent for a moment, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was right.
"What we are doing now is mostly just to force us out and make us give up the idea of rebellion, right?"
There was a little light in his eyes.
"Actually, now that Great Qin is developing so well, what will happen even if we give up the rebellion?"
Not to mention the days ahead, since Chen Ke started making paper in March and April last year, the changes in Da Qin can be said to be completely different from before.
In just over a year, almost two years, the people have been able to live a stable life.
Xiang Liang looked at Xiang Ji and suddenly said, "If we give up our rebellion and surrender like the First Emperor, then the First Emperor will accept us, right?"
"After all, although our Xiang clan wants to rebel, His Majesty the First Emperor doesn't know."
"Unlike Zhang Liang, we may have never thought of assassinating His Majesty, nor have we ever attempted to slander His Majesty."
"What if His Majesty accepts our surrender?"
"At that time, the people in our village who were brought from Guchu will not have to worry all day long. We can go to the nearby county governor and let him report."
"Then he handed over the things he brought out from the Chu Kingdom, told where the Chu royal family was hiding, and even handed over Mi Dong!"
"If this is the case, maybe we can still make meritorious deeds, receive rewards from His Majesty, live here peacefully, and get new road guides?"
Xiang Liang became more and more excited as he talked, as if he had already seen that day coming.
"Yu'er, what do you think?"
Xiang Ji had a dark face.
Although he has not been officially crowned, his name has already been chosen, which is "Yu".
"Uncle, I don't think it's good."
"Have you forgotten that we asked Lu Sheng to donate the golden elixir?"
"Can that tyrant forget this matter?"
Xiang Ji's rhetorical question made Xiang Liang silent for a moment, and then Xiang Liang said: "But, that golden elixir is not what I am waiting for."
"But Mi Dong's!"
"My Xiang clan, as well as these many people, were just coerced by Mi Dong."
Listening to Xiang Liang's plan, Xiang Yu felt sick in his heart.
He did not expect that the uncle he respected the most back then, the general of the Chu Kingdom, who had been on the battlefield for more than ten years, would turn into what he is today!
Xiang Ji stood up immediately, looked at Xiang Liang and sneered: "Uncle, I am determined not to do it!"
He turned around and left, leaving only a few words under the roof.
"If my uncle is willing to be a surrender, then he will go on his own! You don't have to bring your citizenship with you!"
Xiang Liang sat there, covered with a blanket, and behind him was a neck pillow said to be invented by Chen Ke.
He whispered: "What's wrong with this?"
The great general back then had no fighting spirit at all.
...........
Xiang Ji, who had walked away, became more and more angry and punched the wood casually.
The tree, which was not strong to begin with, was shaken, and then a few leaves fell off, falling scatteredly on the ground.
Ji Bu, who had the best relationship with Xiang Ji, stood behind him, lowered his head and said, "Brother Yu, what did uncle say?"
In recent days, Xiang Ji's mood swings are always related to Xiang Liang.
As soon as he went out today, he saw Xiang Ji standing here sulking. Without even thinking about it, Ji Bu knew that Xiang Liang must have said something again.
Xiang Ji put his hands behind his back and turned his head.
At this time, he still has a young mind.
"My uncle said that if you really can't do it, you can go to the county and surrender like a tyrant."
"He talked about handing over the money from Chu State, as well as some people and information that he brought out in the past, in exchange for a citizenship."
He sneered: "I have a disagreement with my uncle on this matter."
"The matter has reached this point. It is no longer a matter of the Chu State, but a matter of our Xiang family and the Chu State."
Xiang Ji's words were profound, and Ji Bu also understood the samadhi in them.
Their allegiance was to Xiang Ji and Xiang Liang, not to Chu State.
Even if a new Chu state is established, it will only be Xiang Chu and Xiang Chu, not the Chu of the Mi family.
"What does Brother Yu mean?"
Xiang Ji stood there, slightly silent.
"We still have two months."
"It's already the end of July."
"In March, in Xianyang City, many disciples of the Baijia Palace established by the tyrant came out of the palace to serve as county guards."
"It has been more than four months now, and many county guards from all over the world have been in place. Only some county guards from more remote places have not yet arrived."
"I think that's why the tyrant said that road verification will also be implemented in the village in two months."
"In more than two months, almost all county guards will be in place."
"At that time, the road introduction and household registration reforms will cover the entire land of Qin, and Qin will really form a siege on us."
Xiang Ji calmly analyzed the pros and cons and many situations.
The more his thoughts are organized, the clearer they become.
"When the village starts to check the road guidance, we will really be unable to move, and we will be trapped here and unable to move."
"According to the news, the new Lao Shizi "Essay Contest" will start in October. "
"In this year, Daqin has basically settled down, and many talented people will put aside their worries and crowd into Xianyang City."
"I'm not very clear about that tyrant's plan after that."
Xiang Ji narrowed his eyes: "According to my estimation, roughly at the end of October and towards November, the tyrant will issue an order that large quantities of necessities must be inspected."
"Cut off our last way of survival."
"Therefore, we must rise up before the end of October!"
...........
At this time, in Zhangtai Palace
Chen Ke is playing chess with Ying Zheng.
When it comes to Go, Chen Ke is a dabbler, and the chess he plays can only be described as a hobby.
His chess style is just like him, erratic and lazy, but sometimes deadly and sharp.
The way of chess is also the trick.
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "Chen Ke, according to your plan, the end of October and the beginning of November are the best times?"
Chen Ke nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, it turned out to be good."
“By the end of October, it was pretty much a done deal.”
"As long as the last stone falls, those people will have no choice but to rebel even if they don't want to."
"The general trial has been implemented, and the garrisons in various places in Da Qin are also in place."
“It’s just around the corner to eliminate the last stubborn problem of Da Qin.”
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, and he heard the meaning behind Chen Ke's words.
"original?"
"So, you changed your mind?"
Chen Ke smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, I have always felt that I am not a smart person."
"Originally, when I didn't have the intention to destroy the Six Kingdoms, some of my plans and arrangements were still mysterious. Others couldn't guess what I was thinking."
"Because I don't have the heart to begin with."
"But when I really do something, it's easy for others to guess my mind."
"After all, I'm really not a smart person."
Chen Ke spread his hands: "So, I feel that the best time is not the end of October."
"It's an unexpected time."
No one can think of it?
Ying Zheng squinted his eyes, a look of amusement flashed across his face.
"No one would have thought of it?"
"When are you going to force them to retreat?"
Chen Ke smiled: "It's October, but not the end of October, but the first of October!"
There was a cold light in his eyes: "October 1st is a very auspicious day."
"It's time to kill the thief!"
Ying Zheng felt a little relieved and felt that this was a good day.
"good."
"Now that you have made a decision in your heart, I will ask others to cooperate with you."
He looked at Chen Ke and said, "It's just that Li Si is afraid that he will have to work hard for a few more days."
Chen Ke didn't take it seriously, but instead sarcastically said with a joke: "Prime Minister Li wishes he could live in the Prime Minister's Office every day. If such a hard-working and uncomplaining person knew that His Majesty had given him another job, he would probably be moved to his knees. Thank you for the Holy Grace."
When Ying Zheng heard this, he immediately laughed.
He threw the chess pieces on the chessboard, laughing to the point of tears.
"You bastard."
"Although it's true, why does it feel so wrong?"
"Be careful when Li Si finds out and mocks you for doing nothing all day long, just like the pig in your pigsty who only knows how to eat and drink!"
Chen Ke curled his lips.
After reporting the matter of castrating pigs a few days ago, Ying Zheng had a sudden idea and decided to give the castrated pigs a name.
This is how to distinguish the difference between pigs and pigs.
Whether it is fate or coincidence, the character that Ying Zheng came up with was the character "pig".
In the next few days, after Li Si, Wang Jian, and Wang Guan learned about this incident, they teamed up to go to his house to see the castrated pig.
Pigs grow well after castration.
It had been more than a month by then, and judging by time, the stinky smell in the meat had also dissipated.
After seeing the pig, the grandson of the Li Si family said with emotion: "I really envy this pig. He can do nothing but eat, drink and sleep all day long."
Hearing this, Li Si pointed at him and made fun of him: "Isn't this Chen Shaofu?"
Because the pig's status was quite high at this time, these words were not too unpleasant, at most they were a mockery among friends.
Chen Ke didn't care either, but who knew that these words would reach Ying Zheng's ears.
He smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you are laughing at me again."
Ying Zheng stood up and stretched.
"Chen Ke, your pig is not big now, but it can still be eaten, right?"
After hearing the meaning of Ying Zheng's words, Chen Ke immediately said: "Although it is not fully grown yet, it is already edible."
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
It just doesn’t have much meat.
"I happen to be hosting a banquet tonight. I wonder if Your Majesty has time to attend the banquet?"
