A long time ago in China, the authority of the Zhou Dynasty completely collapsed. The vassal states that were originally unified by the Zhou Dynasty fought endlessly for their own power and ambition, for land and wealth, until a king appeared. He led a powerful army and wiped out He conquered one vassal state after another, and finally unified the world with his own country, and the king also became the emperor.
A new era has arrived. The Dragon Emperor rules his people with strict laws and violence. He degrades enemies who resist his rule into slaves and lets them build the Great Wall for themselves. If they die on the way, they will be buried in the wall.
Abandoned the way of the previous kings, burned the words of hundreds of families, used the stupid head of Guizhou, famous for the city, killed the heroes, collected the soldiers of the world, gathered in Xianyang, sold Feng Dy, cast it as the Twelve Golden People, and weakened the people of the world.
The Dragon Emperor collected all the weapons in the world and created twelve golden men. He prohibited the people from possessing wisdom and prohibited the people from possessing the force to resist his rule. 》as the guiding ideology for ruling the entire empire.
The Dragon Emperor became the king of all the people and everything in the country, but the supreme authority still could not satisfy the Dragon Emperor, so he ordered the alchemists all over the world to teach him magic. The Dragon Emperor thus mastered the power of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and the five elements to create and restrain each other. The power of the five elements is the endless and endless power of the Dragon Emperor. He is not only the emperor of all people, but also the god who dominates all people.
But even though his power is so powerful and his authority is supreme, no matter how much he considers himself emperor or emperor, he is still a human being at this time, a human being who will live, grow old, sick and die. His power cannot slow down his aging. When his destiny comes, he will die like other great monarchs in history, and die as humbly as the slaves who were building the Great Wall.
The Dragon Emperor felt fear. The gaze of "Death", the most powerful enemy in history, frightened the supreme monarch from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to seek immortality, and he wanted to rule his empire forever for hundreds, thousands, and thousands of years. Years or even tens of millions of years, until the end of the world comes.
Live forever and live as long as the sky.
The Dragon Emperor thought in his heart that he wanted immortality and immortality, so he was superstitious about the alchemists and expected the alchemists to refine the elixir of immortality for him. However, what the Dragon Emperor got was always deception.
The Dragon Emperor was angry. He was full of hatred for the alchemist who deceived him. At the same time, after he felt that his life was passing away, his pursuit of immortality did not waver at all, but became more persistent.
Until one day, the Dragon Emperor heard this rumor. It was said that a Taoist nun knew the secret of immortality, so the Dragon Emperor sent his friend, his loyal general Guo Ming, to find the Taoist nun who knew the secret of immortality.
According to clues and after searching for a long time, General Guo Ming finally found the legendary female mage, and this female mage's name was 'Ziyuan'.
General Guo Ming took Ziyuan back to the capital. Bring Ziyuan to the Dragon Emperor.
Ziyuan met the Dragon Emperor and told him that although she did not know the art of immortality, she knew that there must be a place where the secret of immortality must be.
Ziyuan is as beautiful as a twenty-year-old girl and has a special temperament. Even the Dragon Emperor, who has seen all kinds of stunning beauties, was amazed by Ziyuan's beauty and temperament.
"This girl belongs to me," the Dragon Emperor said to his friend Guo Ming, with an absolutely unquestionable attitude in his tone.
While Guo Ming and Zi Yuan were on their journey to find the way to immortality, the two of them had already developed secret feelings for each other before they knew it, and they both had feelings for each other. Although Guo Ming had always remembered the Dragon Emperor's love for him, He had said what he said, but when he thought of Ziyuan, he couldn't control his feelings. Just like the high priest Immorton, his loyalty to the monarch gave way to his love.
Finally, a tablet was found in the secret compartment of the Tubo temple. It was written in long-lost oracle bone inscriptions. The book contained all the secrets of the ancient world. It contained the answer that Qin Shihuang was looking for. Moreover, There are also other unimaginable powerful forces.
The way to eternal life.
Ziyuan also knew what the Dragon Emperor was thinking, but Guo Ming and Ziyuan, who had found the art of immortality, believed that this credit was enough to offset the Dragon Emperor's anger, and pinned their fate on the emperor's kindness.
The matter between Guo Ming and Ziyuan was not hidden. When Ziyuan made the request, the Dragon Emperor showed a complicated look. Finally, after thinking for a moment, he agreed that Ziyuan and Guo Ming would spend the rest of their lives together, and asked Ziyuan to read out the oracle bone secret code. Ancient Sanskrit mantra.
Because the surge of energy caused by the ancient spell rejuvenated the Dragon Emperor's aging body, the Dragon Emperor became immortal because of this spell, so the Dragon Emperor asked Ziyuan to go outside the palace to meet someone, but what she saw was It was the Dragon Emperor's army who executed Guo Ming outside the palace by dismembering his body on five horses and splitting it into pieces in a chariot.
Obviously, the Dragon Emperor regretted Ziyuan's request.
Ziyuan, who witnessed the death of her lover, was extremely angry and stabbed the Dragon Emperor with a dagger, and used the power of the strange book to curse the Dragon Emperor and his army. They turned into terracotta warriors and horses. There is also a secret door that can harm the Dragon Emperor.
Unlike Guo Ming's trust in the Dragon Emperor, Ziyuan is wary of the Dragon Emperor.
Because the Dragon Emperor and his army were cursed to become terracotta warriors and horses, the Qin Dynasty collapsed and the world was in chaos.
The Five Skills of Controlling the People in "Shang Jun Shu"
1. Yimin: unified thinking.
2. Weak people: When the country is strong and the people are weak, the way to govern the country depends on the weak people.
3. Tired of the people: looking for things for the people, tired of running around, so that the people can take care of other things flawlessly.
4. Insulting the people: First, they have no self-esteem and self-confidence; second, they instigate each other to report and expose each other, and live in an atmosphere of fear all day long.
5. Poor people: except for the necessities of life, they are deprived of their remaining money and wealth (i.e. inflation or crazy money printing); poor people have short ambitions.
If any of the five are ineffective, kill them.

"Han Feizi: Talking about Doubts"
The method of prohibition and annihilation is to prohibit one's heart first, then prohibit one's words, and thirdly prohibit one's actions.
Shang Yang believes:
If the people have private honor, they will despise the humble officials. If you are rich, you will be lightly rewarded; if you are humiliated, you will be honored; if you are weak, you will be honored by officials; if you are poor, you will be rewarded.
That is to say, if the people have a sense of honor, then they will despise officials and not take them seriously. Therefore, the people cannot be allowed to have a sense of honor. If the people are wealthy, they will not care about the rewards from the government. If they are humble, they will care about the titles awarded by the court. If they are humble, they will respect the officials. If they are poor, they will pay attention to the court. Rewards of money.
