Fusu didn't notice that the First Emperor's face was already filled with anger and a hint of disappointment.
He had just listened to Li Si's words and decided that anyone who concocted the Langyatai Spiritual Jiao to cause rain would be punished.
Unexpectedly, Fusu actually claimed that the so-called immortals of Langyatai were the gods of Yunmeng Mountain.
From this point of view, the person who created the figurines was Fusu!
The First Emperor's heart was filled with anger and a hint of sadness.
Although he does not like Fusu, Fusu is his son after all, and he is also his most promising eldest son!
Recently, the dream of immortality has been shattered. The First Emperor felt that he was getting older, and he was afraid that his great success was not far away!
Therefore, daily anger is not only caused by the elixir, but also caused by inner anxiety!
Fortunately, although I don't have much time left, my eldest son Fusu has a reputation as a virtuous person and can be considered the second generation!
However, he never thought that beneath his eldest son's benevolence and filial piety, he was actually hiding a wolfish ambition!
My son, I don’t have many years left. You are so weak just now, can't you wait for several years?
As for the Fusu people who are not in Langya, and Langya has no connection with Fusu, how did he concoct this matter? Fusu was born to the daughter of the Princess of Chu, and the elders in Chu regarded her as a descendant of Mi.
Langya was originally the land of Qi, and later became the land of Yue. After the country of Yue was destroyed by the state of Chu, it became the land of Chu!
There is no difference between Qi and Chu. Chu and Qi have been on good terms since the Zhou Dynasty. The only time the two countries fought was during the reign of Duke Huan of Qi. Moreover, both sides only deployed large armies at the border, but were persuaded to retreat by the envoy of Chu.
This also created an idiom, wind, horse and cow are irrelevant.
"Wind" means estrus, which agrees with "Xiongqi" in later generations, so the Qin army would shout "big wind" every time they were in battle.
What the Chu envoy meant was that there was no conflict between Qi and Chu at all. Both sides were big countries and their plans were in different directions. Qi wanted to go west to weaken Jin, and Chu wanted to go east to pacify Wu and Yue. It's like two cows and horses in heat, trying to find a suitable match by themselves, but what's the use of looking for each other?
Since then, the two countries have vaguely formed an alliance. During the Spring and Autumn Period, they jointly weakened the Jin Dynasty, and during the Warring States Period, they jointly resisted the Qin Dynasty. The state of Chu was destroyed by Qin, and it was common for the elders of Chu to flee to Qi.
Fusu had no idea that the First Emperor had already decided that he was the source of the trouble. After all, he had no way of knowing about Li Si's two speeches, which were almost like naming names.
He respectfully took out a jade box from his arms, opened it carefully, and took out a strange book: "First Emperor, please read this. This is the book we obtained from the residence of heaven and man. In addition to the messages from heaven and man, , and has the three skills of Life Talisman Pill!"
"Among them, Dan is the art of alchemy!"
He said regretfully: "It's a pity that I can't understand the words in it!"
"But," he continued carefully, "perhaps some alchemist can understand."
"Do you want me to summon the world's scholars again?" the First Emperor said in a cold voice.
Fusu was startled. The First Emperor's reaction was beyond his expectation.
He had thought from the beginning that summoning alchemists again might make the First Emperor angry. However, the heavenly book left by heavenly beings contained even more alchemy techniques. The First Emperor would not only be overjoyed, but would at least be very interested in it.
Unexpectedly, the First Emperor didn't even ask what heavenly book it was, nor about alchemy, but directly focused on summoning alchemists again.
The First Emperor obviously did not want to talk to Fusu. He turned to Meng Tian with a strange light in his eyes: "Naishi Tian, why did you carry the stone to the palace?"
Meng Tian has been holding a large stone slab since he came in. Judging from the jagged edges and corners, it is obviously an ordinary mountain stone.
However, Meng Tian never let go of such an ordinary mountain stone. Even when he saluted the First Emperor, he carefully placed it on the table and did not give it to the chamberlain.
Meng Tian also felt that the Emperor's attitude was strange, and he spoke carefully: "I and my son Fusu found a book of heaven and some dregs of medicine in the residence of heaven and man..."
Speaking of this, he secretly glanced at the First Emperor.
The book contains the art of alchemy, and the medicine residue is the most direct evidence of alchemy. Moreover, the elixir refined by heaven and man must be extraordinary, maybe it is the medicine of immortality!
However, the First Emperor remained as still as a mountain. Meng Tian was extremely confused in his heart, but he quickly said: "The gods sent a spiritual ape to present a stone with a message. Please give the First Emperor a try!"
Two chamberlains came forward and tried to lift the stone from the table. However, no matter how red their faces were, the stone only shook a little and could not be lifted at all.
One of the waiters angrily stretched out his hand to signal the chamberlains who were kneeling under the curtain to come with them, and the voice of the First Emperor suddenly sounded.
"No need!"
He stood up directly, walked towards the stone slab, and spoke meaningfully: "Tian is the number one warrior in China, his bravery is comparable to that of you and others who are in ruins?"
Several chamberlains quickly retreated, while Meng Tian lay on the ground and did not dare to speak.
The First Emperor was too lazy to care about Meng Tian's expression at this time. He walked to the stone slab and carefully looked at the five characters on it.
"Hu Ye is the one who destroyed the Qin Dynasty." He read out the words on the stone tablet word by word and glanced at Fusu.
"My son." He said calmly.
Fusu's whole body was suddenly shocked, and he looked at the First Emperor in surprise.
His mother died when he was two years old, and he didn't have much memory at that time.
By the time he remembered, the First Emperor already had seven sons. He was the eldest son. He was taught by Qin Gong's doctors every day and rarely saw the First Emperor.
When he reached Zhixue, that is, when he was fifteen years old, he took up the post of Army Sima and followed General Meng Tian to the northern border of Hetao, where he guarded for nearly seven years.
In his memory, the First Emperor never called him "my son", but whenever he was called, he was called "Fusu".
This was the first time that the First Emperor called him his son!
But in such a situation!
The words "my son" made the First Emperor feel a little sad, but what made him even more angry was anger.
"You have had a reputation for benevolence since you were a child. People all over the world say that you are benevolent. The doctors who taught you also say that you are smart and eager to learn, and you are diligent and courageous."
He looked at Fusu coldly like a knife: "When did you become such an unfilial and disloyal person?"
Unfilial and disloyal? Fusu looked confused.
He didn't know why he was rated like this.
Where did this begin?
"No wonder you keep talking about the things of gods and immortals. I originally thought that you were just trying to take advantage of the chance of returning to the imperial court to gain power through doing things of gods and immortals."
The First Emperor's voice was as sharp as a knife: "I never expected that you would be so cruel and cruel."
"Hu Ye is the one who destroyed the Qin Dynasty," he finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and a sneer appeared on his face, "What a great Hu Ye who destroyed the Qin Dynasty!"
"Hu Hai, he is your young brother! Do you want to kill him with your evil words?"
Fusu was dumbfounded and wanted to speak but didn't know how to speak.
He had completely ignored this crucial issue before.
There are two interpretations of the word "Hu", one is Hu people, the other is Hu Hai!
But as God can tell, he never thought that this Hu character could match his younger brother!
At this time, the First Emperor was unwilling to say anything to Fusu.
His face was full of sternness, and he said coldly: "Xuan my decree!"
"Young Master Fu Su, you have no virtue! Follow Zong Zhengge and give up your status as a young master and become a commoner!"
"Nei Shi Mengtian," the First Emperor glanced at Meng Tian who was also struck by lightning, and continued, "offer the rank of general and go to Jiuqing!"
"I ordered Tingwei's Mansion to take the two of them into custody, and Tingwei Si made a statement, saying that it was immoral to support Su, and I will personally go on stage and burn them in ten days to report to heaven!"
Fusu was the eldest son of the First Emperor, and he was born to be the heir apparent.
The moral law in people's hearts these days is very heavy. To depose the prince without reason is to be unethical. Because no matter whether the First Emperor is the son of Heaven or not, he is still hunting on behalf of Heaven.
Therefore, deposing and establishing the crown prince is not a matter for him alone, but requires the approval of God.
"Order Wei Wei Jie to deploy five thousand troops in the self-defense army, and hand them over to the young son Hu Hai to take command, and make Gao the Sima of Zhongche Mansion!"
He continued to order with murderous intent: "Order Hu Hai and Zhao Gao to set off and go to Langyatai to kill the evil spirits pretending to be spiritual dragons. If they encounter the so-called immortals, kill them all together!"
"I want all the people in the world to know that all gods and spirits are absurd! The world is the world of Da Qin, and all might and virtue belong to me!"
…
"Young man, do you know what kind of person the First Emperor is?"
In the west hall, it was dark.
Zhao Gao and Hu Hai sat opposite each other. The door of the palace was not opened, and no fire was lit in the palace.
This is what the darkroom says.
It was Zhao Gao who spoke. His face was hidden in the shadows. The only thing Hu Hai saw was that it was unpredictable.
"I don't know. Please teach me, please, Zhongche Mansion!" Hu Hai was very respectful. He sat slightly low in front of Zhao Gao, looking like he was being taught.
He was telling the truth. Although the First Emperor was his father, he was born late, when the First Emperor had already begun to unify the six countries.
As long as he can remember, he never called the First Emperor his father, but had to call him the First Emperor like everyone else.
At this time, the relationship between the two parties was that of monarch and minister, and Hu Hai, a minister, was not even as good as those ministers in the court.
At least the ministers could see the First Emperor every day, but he, the young master, only paid greetings once every few days.
"The First Emperor was a man of great talent and strategy, knew people well and made good use of them, was persevering, and always had the ambition to endure hardships while working hard."
Zhao Gao's voice was slightly shrill as he continued: "Unify the six countries with the same writing, the same track, and the same movement. This is an unprecedented feat!"
"We also abolished the enfeoffment and divided up prefectures and counties, taking over the power of the world to the king. From then on, there were no ministers for a hundred years. This is the foundation for the creation of all ages!"
"Therefore, the First Emperor is indeed the beginning of all ages. His achievements do not exceed five generations, and they are not far behind!"
"So, the First Emperor is really a holy king?" Hu Hai asked doubtfully, and he moved his shoulders slightly.
It has to be said that it is really exciting to talk about the merits and demerits of the First Emperor in the palace and city, just a few hundred feet away.
Hu Hai felt scared at this time and wanted to continue chatting.
Zhao Gao glanced at Hu Hai enigmatically and said calmly: "The First Emperor is not a saint."
"What's the explanation? How can the First Emperor not even be called a sage for his unparalleled achievements?" Hu Hai's face instantly turned pale.
It is a serious crime to slander the First Emperor. The First Emperor's authority spread throughout the country. Even in a dark room, Hu Hai was full of fear.
And he really wonders. The First Emperor unified the six kingdoms and created the foundation of all ages. His achievements are almost surpassing those of the five emperors. Why can't he be called a saint king?
"Just because the First Emperor is paranoid!" Zhao Gao was calm, and there was even a trace of pleasure on his face.
"The First Emperor wanted to live forever, so he summoned the wise men from all over the world."
His voice was still high-pitched and calm, but Hu Hai felt that there seemed to be wind and thunder in the palace, making him restless.
"The alchemist said that he ate gold beads and did not eat grains. Everyone in the world knew this was a lie, and many ministers wrote to him. However, the First Emperor ignored it!"
"Is there anyone in the world who can live without eating grains? How can the alchemist ask for gold and beads to be used for food?" Zhao Gao's voice was slightly emotional, and Hu Hai couldn't help but nodded.
According to Dr. Qin Gong's evaluation, he is "unworthy", which means stupid and bad.
However, as unworthy as he is, he also knows that no one in the world eats gold beads. Even immortals either eat in the open air or eat nothing at all.
This must be a liar.
However, what Hu Hai knew was not known to the First Emperor. How could this be explained?
"The First Emperor built 270 temples in Xianyang to support the alchemists and ordered the alchemists to make elixirs for them. However, within two years, no less than ten people died of drunkenness among the alchemists."
Zhao Gao sneered: "Some ministers reported this matter to the First Emperor. They said that the alchemists drank gold beads as food, so why did they drink alcohol? Moreover, the alchemists were taught by gods to refine the elixir of immortality for the First Emperor, but why did they themselves die of drunkenness? "
"The First Emperor didn't listen, and anyone who spoke about this was sent to the Hidden Palace!"
"The Hidden Palace?" Hu Hai's heart was moved, "It seems that the order of the CRRC was born in the Hidden Palace?"
There was a smile on Zhao Gao's face, but his eyes were full of coldness.
He glanced at Hu Hai meaningfully and said calmly: "That's right. When I was young, my mother was convicted of a crime and she was sent to a hidden palace."
"And in the Hidden Palace, there are all powerful and sage people, knowledgeable and talented, and their words are meaningful. They were punished because the First Emperor did not like it. Although I am in the Hidden Palace and cannot come out, I know the affairs of the world!"
"So, I also want to go to the Hidden Palace!" Hu Hai said leisurely and fascinated.
From what Zhao Gao said, the Hidden Palace seemed to be a gathering place for hermits. The people there were very capable and well-spoken.
"If there is an opportunity, I will help the young son travel to the Hidden Palace." The smile on Zhao Gao's face became even brighter, and the coldness in his eyes also grew.
The Hidden Palace is indeed as he said, full of great talents.
It's just that it's killing talents.
As for speaking nicely, if the people in the hidden palace don't know how to flatter and understand their thoughts, they will die early without a burial place!
He was the eldest son of Zhao Shuai, the former Lang Zhongling. He was born in the Zhao family and went to Qin because he participated in Qin Zi's escape. Ziyi changed his name to Zichu and ascended the throne of Qin. In memory of Zhao Shuai's kindness, he was granted the title of doctor.
Later, due to his contribution to the destruction of Zhao, he was promoted to Jiuqing and became a doctor.
However, just because Zhao Shuai's wife said "Zhao Zheng" when she was boasting about her family background, the First Emperor became furious. He said "When was my surname Zhao?" and had Zhao Shuai's wife and his eldest son Gao banished to the hidden palace.
Zhao Gao actually understood why the First Emperor was angry, because although the Six Kingdoms were destroyed, the elders of the Six Kingdoms still regarded the First Emperor as their life and death enemy. They often scornfully said that the First Emperor was not the son of a foreigner, but the son of Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji, who should be Lu Zheng.
The First Emperor removed the name of Ying Zheng and called himself the First Emperor from then on, ordering everyone in the world to remove their surnames and use surnames as their surnames. This is also the reason.
Therefore, it is only natural that Zhao Shui's wife said that Zhao Zheng offended the First Emperor and was thrown into the hidden palace.
However, life in the hidden palace was dark and dark. Zhao Gao was executed by castration and his mother was also tortured.
Zhao Gao watched with his own eyes as his mother was tied to an iron bed. A small hook was used to penetrate the body from below, hook out the uterus, cut it off with a knife, tie the mouth with hemp thread, and stuff it back into the body.
It is a great shame and humiliation for Jiu Qing’s wife to be tortured like this!
Great Qin forever?
ha! joke!
I will bring chaos to this world!
However, the current First Emperor had no time to worry about his sons' quarrels, because he was already sitting alone in the palace, taking out the relics of the 'Immortal' brought by Fusu, and planned to taste the 'Book of Heaven'!
