The First Emperor was very angry.
He glanced murderously at the servants below the imperial steps who were lowering their heads and trembling with fear.
He just felt like his heart was being burned by fire, and he wanted to kill all these servants!
Even Fusu, Meng Tian, Hu Hai, and everyone in the world!
Taking a deep breath, the First Emperor barely suppressed the anger in his heart.
He was a talented and strategic emperor. Although he killed cruelly, he did not kill indiscriminately. Without self-restraint, he would not be able to unify the six countries and establish an unprecedented empire!
However, after mistakenly trusting the alchemist and taking the elixir, the First Emperor began to have anger and anger!
Especially after learning that the alchemist actually deceived him, the First Emperor was angry all the time.
Because this matter was such a great shame, the First Emperor even felt that he had become the laughing stock of the world!
In addition, there was still a faint fear in the heart of the First Emperor.
He was nearly fifty years old, and he originally hoped that the alchemist could refine the elixir of immortality for him, but the result was nothing but a dream.
So, how long will I have left to live?
Thinking of this, he said in a hoarse voice: "Ling Gao!"
"I'm here!" Zhao Gao had been kneeling quietly at the foot of the steps, listening to the words and performing etiquette.
"Send a message to Li Si," the First Emperor sat back on the throne, and while beckoning his chamberlain to continue holding the bamboo slips for him, he continued to speak, "Ask whether the construction of his palace has been completed. I want to move to Jiujiang in the near future!"
When the First Emperor went on a tour to a county, he would always stay in the palace. Prime Minister Li Si was the outpost of the First Emperor's carriage, responsible for recruiting local people in advance and building a palace.
As for Jiujiang, it is to the east of Nanyang County. After Nanyang, it is the famous Langya County!
Langya is the capital of the Yue Kingdom. To the east of Langya, there is a high platform, which is isolated and prominent. It is located on the mountain. It is more than 20 miles below. The platform has three floors. The upper level is flat and wide, five miles wide. The so-called "climbing Langya and overlooking the huge sea". Rumor has it that this platform was built by an ancient god and was named Langyata.
During the reign of King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty, the virtuous minister Taigong Wang assisted King Wu and defeated the army led by King Zhou of Shang in the battle of Muye. The Shang Dynasty was destroyed and the Zhou Dynasty was established. Later, King Wu ordered Taigong Wang Leshi to praise his merits and went to Langya, where he consecrated the gods of all directions at Langya Terrace. Langya Terrace was also consecrated and became the shrine of the gods of the four seasons.
Therefore, Langya Terrace is the place of earth spirits, and the First Emperor's visit was also to praise Langya.
In addition, it is said that there are three sacred mountains in the East China Sea, which can be seen by climbing Langyatai!
The First Emperor no longer believed in immortal alchemists. However, the sacred mountain was the legacy of ancient saints and should not be ignored!
"As for the eldest son Fusu and the general Meng Tian..."
The First Emperor hesitated slightly. He sat on the throne and held his sword in silence.
Fusu guessed correctly, the First Emperor did not like his eldest son.
It's not that Fusu made any mistakes. On the contrary, Fusu was diligent and courageous, sensitive and studious, and also filial and benevolent. Even the First Emperor admired him very much.
However, Fusu's mother was from Chu!
The father and son of the First Emperor were originally sons of the Qin State. Due to their humble mother status, they were not favored by their father An Guojun, so they were sent to the State of Zhao as a hostage. At that time, Lu Buwei, a wealthy businessman, befriended Ziyi, spent a lot of money to bribe Zhao's ministers, and let Ziyi return to Qin without permission.
After Ziyi returned, Lu Buwei also went to Qin and manipulated Ziyi into being adopted by Mrs. Huayang. Because Mrs. Huayang was born as a princess of Chu, Ziyi was renamed Zichu. When the king of Hou'an ascended the throne of Qin, he named Mrs. Huayang the queen and made his son Chu the heir, the prince.
King An Guo died three days after he took the throne, and Zi Chu succeeded him. However, Zichu died three years after he succeeded to the throne.
Ying Zheng, who was only thirteen years old at that time, succeeded to the throne as king. As the queen mother, Mrs. Huayang married the daughter of Lord Changping of Chu State as the queen for Ying Zheng.
At that time, Lord Changping and his younger brother were also in Xianyang, and Mrs. Huayang ordered them to lead the army!
Qin's court, half of the Chu officials!
The Chu people were powerful, so Ying Zheng had to go into hibernation first. Until Mrs. Huayang died, he finally launched a counterattack and wiped out all the Chu people in the Qin court.
Without stopping, Ying Zheng then ordered General Wang Jian to lead an army of 600,000 to destroy Chu and kill Lord Changping!
Including his own queen, the daughter of Lord Changping, was also sentenced to death by Ying Zheng!
And this was the reason why the First Emperor disliked Fusu.
Because Fusu’s mother was killed by the First Emperor!
Even though the First Emperor later raised Fusu with the so-called Concubine Zheng as Fusu's mother, he wanted to hide the matter. However, everyone in the world knows that Fusu is the daughter of the King of Chu. Countless Chu people are carrying blood oaths and waiting for the day when this King of Chu's blood will avenge their mother.
As the saying goes, although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will definitely die!
I say I'm not happy, but actually I'm afraid!
However, Fusu was, after all, the eldest son of the First Emperor, with outstanding virtues.
If the first emperor could not find the elixir of immortality, the second emperor of Qin might just be Fusu!
"Yu Weiwei mobilized two thousand troops and combined them with Meng Tian's army to form one force!"
"Order Wang Ping to be the captain, Meng Tian to remain the general, and the eldest son Fu Su to be the army commander!"
"Send orders to Meng Tian and Fu Su to quickly kill all the local soldiers from Nan County and Changsha County. Then raise your troops to the east and meet me at Langya!"
He calmly repeated what he had said to Fusu before: "Don't betray my trust!"
…
late at night.
On Qinzhi Road, a line of sergeants was stepping forward.
Fusu no longer sat in a light chariot at this time, but boarded a chariot. Next to him was Meng Tian, who had already put on heavy armor and stood on the chariot with a strong look, majestic.
However, Meng Tian's face was full of confusion at this time. He glanced at the infantry behind him and said in a low voice: "Sir, what does the First Emperor mean by suddenly adding more troops to us?"
Fusu also looked back at the long queue of infantry behind him. The First Emperor was very strict in managing the army. Once he ordered the army to set off, it had to march thirty miles a day before it could camp. These infantrymen were hurrying on their way at this time to avoid delay.
A stern voice could be heard in the distance, coming from a chariot behind.
"Hurry up and hide, do you want to be beheaded?"
After sighing, Fusu turned to look at Meng Tian.
"General," he said seriously, "this time when we return to Yunmeng County, we must stop talking about the magicians and magicians, and we must quickly clear Yunmeng Mountain!"
"It should be noted that the First Emperor ordered Wang Ping to increase his troops by two thousand. It seems to be to make up for the lack of our troops, but in fact it is to keep a close watch!"
He continued: "Wang Ping is the son of General Wang Jian and the younger brother of General Wang Ben! In the past, Wang Jian destroyed Chu and had great prestige in the army!"
"And we have five thousand sergeants under our command at this time, just one!"
Fusu looked at Meng Tian and said meaningfully: "This group is Wang Jian's old soldiers who destroyed Chu in the past. They also followed Wang Ben into Linzi City of Qi State and forced Qi Jun to surrender!"
Meng Tian was silent. He had been leading troops outside all year round and indeed lacked sufficient insights into the affairs of the court.
Military generals these days are hereditary. If the father is in charge of a certain army, the son will also take over the army.
Fusu's meaning was very simple. This time when they went south to Chu, the two of them were not leading their own troops, because their own troops were still guarding the Xiongnu in Hetao.
The two men led by Wang Jian and Wang Ben in the past! And now, the real king's family is here.
Fusu said it so simply. If he didn't understand it, he would be a fool.
Brother, we can’t waste any more, no more…
But people are really going to die!
