The next day!
In the early morning, the sky was brighter than before.
On the contrary, the sky was extremely gloomy and extremely gray.
Crash.
The clouds are gathering, the sky is pouring with rain, the north wind is blowing, it feels like the sky and the earth are collapsing!
It's time!
Xianyang Palace, above the court hall.
All civil and military officials stood in the main hall and reported state affairs to the First Emperor.
But suddenly!
boom!
A burst of thunder resounded across the sky!
Above the sky, red-blooded thunder and lightning crisscrossed the sky, splitting the clouds, and soared through the nine heavens like a long red-blooded dragon.
And in the distance in the sky, a blood-like red light rushed into the sky, echoing with the red-blooded thunder.
"what is that!"
"Red as blood and thunder and lightning, the blood light reaches the sky!"
"Could it be that something big happened?"
Above the court, the civil and military officials stared at the outside of the hall and discussed one after another.
The First Emperor also stared at the red thunder and red glow of light in the sky, his brows furrowed.
"Where is Taifu!"
The majestic voice sounded in the court hall.
From time to time, an old man with a spirit of immortality hurriedly walked out of the courtroom, bowed and said: "I am here!"
The First Emperor remained calm and said with authority: "What is the meaning of this vision?"
The Taibu looked at the bloody thunder and bloody light in the sky. After pondering for a while, he hesitated and bowed: "The sky and the earth are dark. Today there is a red light like blood, piercing the sky. This may be an ominous sign!"
All of a sudden!
The surrounding officials remained silent, but they couldn't help but stir up huge waves in their hearts.
Ying Huo Shou Xin just landed some time ago, and now something strange like this happened again...
When the First Emperor heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly and he said: "Ominous sign?!!"
"I have ordered you to send people immediately to investigate the matter thoroughly. There must be no mistakes!"
"Here!"
…
night!
It gets darker.
Thunderstorms keep coming!
The bright moon was obscured by thick rain and fog, which was extremely depressing!
It seems that the sky is much shorter, as if it is within reach.
Eight Young Master's Mansion.
Ying Ziye stood in front of the courtyard window, looking at the rain and fog, lost in thought.
Yuan Tiangang came over at this time and said respectfully: "Master Qi, according to the news from the spies under the bad guy's command, there is a red cloud rising into the sky in Zhongshan Forest."
"According to the legend of the local people, the place where the red clouds are located is an ancient tomb. As for the corpse in the tomb, there is no trace."
"It is rumored that someone once saw hundreds of ghosts traveling in the rain and fog in the mountains and forests."
"Ah!"
Ying Ziye said with disdain and a sneer: "Hundred ghosts traveling? Interesting!"
"But I don't believe this. Since I haven't figured it out yet, I'll send more people to investigate the matter!"
"Here!"
After receiving the order, Yuan Tiangang respectfully retired.
Jian Jiu laughed at the side and said: "But I don't know who is the ghost compared to Huang Quan..."
The night is long.
The next day!
In Xianyang City, a group of Qin cavalry rushed towards them, traveling along the royal road as fast as the wind.
"Eight hundred miles, hurry up, get out of the way!"
A group of Da Qin cavalry shouted and rushed towards the gate of the imperial city.
On the streets, people gave way one after another.
The city guards hurriedly came down to check, and after confirming that everything was correct, they quickly opened the city gate and ushered in a group of cavalry.
Above the court!
All civil and military officials gathered together, and the First Emperor Ying Zheng was on the throne.
Hear the sound before anyone arrives!
All civil and military officials changed their expressions.
There was a big change in the weather yesterday, and today there is another 800-mile emergency...
The hearts of all the civil and military officials were filled with excitement.
thump!
The Great Qin cavalry walked into the hall, knelt on the ground, and handed the information scroll in his arms to the eunuch to present it.
"Your Majesty, please hurry up!"
"The wolves from the north are going south to invade our borderland of Great Qin!"
The words fell.
moment!
Above the court hall, you can hear a needle drop, and there is silence.
The civil and military ministers were shocked, but they were also angry.
"What, the wolf tribe actually dares to go south and invade the border areas of our Great Qin Empire?"
"Don't they want to live?"
"How dare these mere barbarians dare to challenge the power of Heaven!"
All the officials felt fierce fire burning in their chests.
When the First Emperor Ying Zheng heard this, a cold murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
"At the time of the Seven Kingdoms, I had no time to look north."
"They still dare to invade today. They really think that no one in the Qin Dynasty can do anything!"
Since the wolf tribe dared to invade the borders of the Qin Empire this time, he was bound to destroy them.
The First Emperor turned his eyes, looked at Wang Ben, and said with dignity without anger: "Wang Ben, I order you to mobilize your entire army to support the northern border areas and defend the enemy outside the borders. You will definitely destroy the wolf tribe and destroy their species. !”
The majestic voice sounded like the fury of thunder!
No matter how many hundreds of years the parties fought in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, and how much hatred they had between each other, except for those who disobeyed and were killed, the rest have become part of the Qin people!
but! How can the mere wolves and barbarians compare with the descendants of China and other heavenly nobles!
"Here!"
Wang Ben accepted the order with his hands raised, his eyes burning with fierce anger.
…
That night!
In Zhangtai Palace.
Li Si worked hard all day and finally sent over the bamboo slips for preparing food and grass.
only……
Li Si looked a little confused.
Even... it's helpless!
"His Majesty……"
Li Si handed over the memorial.
The First Emperor was curious and unfolded the memorial.
but!
When the First Emperor saw the content on the bamboo slips, his expression suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "Can't such a huge empire even raise military supplies and supplies?!"
boom!
There was a loud bang.
The bamboo slips were thrown off the high platform by the First Emperor Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Li Si hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, a lot of money and food have been spent on building the Great Wall, Epang Palace, etc..."
boom!
The First Emperor's palm fell heavily on the Dragon Table copywriting, and he shouted angrily: "Li Si!"
"You are saying that everything I have done is wrong!"
Hearing this, Li Si fearfully bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This is not what I meant."
"Besides this, I have one more thing that I want to present to Your Majesty!"
After saying this, Li Si presented the list of tax households.
The First Emperor suppressed the anger in his heart and casually unfolded the list.
On the roster, it is clearly recorded that a certain Liu family has four people, three acres of land, and paid a tax of four stones; a certain Zhang family has a hundred people, and a hundred acres of fertile land, and paid a tax of four stones...
The First Emperor Ying Zheng's eyes were as bright as a torch. When he saw the gap above, he immediately understood its meaning.
The empire is barren, but it is rich with clan nobles. The land has been annexed, and the people have no place to stand!
On this occasion, Li Si held up his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the current situation of the Qin Empire is that the country was founded on military merit, and the land is owned by clans and nobles!"
"All the land owned by the people is gradually being annexed and swallowed up!"
"If this continues, I'm afraid..."
Even if Li Si didn't say anything more, how could the First Emperor not know the danger of this matter!
now!
The First Emperor Ying Zheng's chest kept rising and falling, and his anger was hard to calm down.
Murderous intent flowed out from his eyes, and he shouted in a cold voice: "Pass on my decree, order the Guanzhong clan to raise millions of dollars in food and salary within three days. If there is no money, then sell the property!"
"As for these worms in the empire, I will deal with them slowly!"
"No one can escape the empire's sanctions..."
"Here!"
