In addition, the corruption of officials and the annexation of land were all factors that caused the dynasty to begin to be in turmoil and go downhill.
"Besides..." Qin Tian said softly: "You may not care, but the people will not forget the pain that Great Qin has brought to them."
"You need time to make the people forget the pain that Da Qin has brought to them. In this way, you can build new trust in the hearts of the people again."
"This is... Da Qin's new strength."
"That's it, that's it!" Ying Zheng nodded sharply: "I understand!"
"Since Da Qin is destined to perish, let him perish!"
Qin Tian suddenly said: "There is no need to be so pessimistic."
Maybe Ying Zheng doesn't need to wait that long.
When the world was in chaos, Ying Zheng suddenly appeared, announced that he was not dead, and then led thousands of troops to sweep across the world, ending the chaos, and perhaps re-establishing trust among the people.
Maybe the energy that Da Qin had cut off could be restored again.
"Let me lead the army and enter the mausoleum together." Ying Zheng prayed: "Let me bury the future of Great Qin with my own hands."
If Da Qin's army had always existed, then if Da Qin were to be destroyed, the people of the world would probably suffer too many disasters.
But if Ying Zheng led the army into the mausoleum and cut off one of Da Qin's arms, the sufferings suffered by the people of the world might be less.
Qin Tian readily agreed. This was not a difficult task for him.
It's nothing more than the difference between saving one person and saving 100,000 people.
With his current ability, it is very easy to do this.
…
At the same time, Meng Tian, who was locked in the tent, also woke up quietly.
He and his soldiers were locked together. Seeing Meng Tian wake up, many soldiers showed joy.
One of the younger children actually cried on the spot.
"Don't cry, don't cry, haven't I woke up now?" Meng Tian comforted.
"Subordinate, I thought General you would never wake up again!"
In fact, Meng Tian was also a little confused, and he thought he would never wake up again.
But for some reason, although he was seriously injured, he didn't feel too much pain.
Meng Tian just felt a little weak.
As everyone knows, this is exactly what Qin Tian did.
Because Ying Zheng has prepared to send Meng Tian and the 100,000 guards outside to sleep with him until the time comes.
Ying Zheng's arrangement is also very simple.
Let the Wei army and himself sleep, Fusu guards the border and resists the Huns, Wang Ping leads the Baiyue Army southward, and is not allowed to step into the middle of the pass.
As a result, Hu Hai only had 200,000 Lishan troops left in his hands.
The Lishan Army built the mausoleum for Ying Zheng, and a large part of them were civilians and craftsmen without any combat effectiveness at all.
In this way, the harm that Great Qin will do to the people in the future can be minimized.
But at this time, Meng Tian didn't know what was going to happen in the future.
When Zhao Gao and Li Si heard that Meng Tian had woken up, they were immediately surprised.
"I didn't expect that you could still wake up after being so seriously injured." Zhao Gao sneered.
"You're really lucky, kid!"
"But that's just right." Li Si smiled slightly: "I still thought that if you died, you wouldn't be able to experience the feeling of being made into a pottery figurine."
"I didn't expect you to wake up again. In this way, you can watch yourself and your family being made into pottery figurines!"
Meng Tian was not afraid at all of the cynicism and threats from these two people.
"Really? I'm afraid you two won't be able to see that day!"
Zhao Gao and Li Si looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"What? You don't think the First Emperor can save you, do you?"
"To tell you the truth, the First Emperor has passed away!"
After saying these words, Li Si felt happy in his heart.
Finally, the mountain over his head was gone, and he was finally able to take a breath.
Now that the First Emperor is dead, why don't we just say whatever they want from now on?
Not only was the forgery of the manuscript successfully concealed, they were even able to forge a new one again.
"Your affairs will eventually be exposed!" Meng Tian sneered: "How can there be no punishment for such a big thing as forging a handwriting?"
"You just don't understand." Li Si sneered.
"We will support Hu Hai on the throne. In this way, we will still be able to serve as the most powerful ministers!"
Everyone knows that Hu Hai cannot be reused, and no one in the world thinks that Hu Hai can become the new emperor.
If it is true, as they say, that they have the merit to support them, they may really be able to continue to dominate.
"Hahahahaha." Meng Tian suddenly laughed.
"How can you still laugh when you are about to die?" Li Si said viciously.
"I laugh at your naivety and your stupidity!"
Although Meng Tian is not good at observing words and expressions, the current situation is not much different from the battlefield of life and death, so he has already seen the fishy relationship between the two people.
"Li Si, Zhao Gao is a mutilated man with no descendants. Do you think, in order to ensure the stability of his position, will he turn against you in the future?"
Meng Tian laughed.
An official with an heir and an official without an heir are completely different from every angle.
"As far as I know, most of the disabled people have surly temperaments. He is also the mentor of the young master Hu Hai. When he takes charge of power, won't he be the one to speak in the court?"
"In order to ensure that his position is stable and not affected by you, the Prime Minister, what do you think he will use to deal with you?"
"Would you like to make pottery figurines like me? Or be exiled? Or beheaded at Caishikou? Or even implicate the nine tribes?"
Meng Tian laughed loudly.
"What do you think, Li Si?"
"Don't hear nonsense!" Zhao Gao suddenly became anxious: "He is trying to sow discord between us!"
"Provocation? Do you still need to provoke?"
Meng Tian sneered: "As Prime Minister, Li Si, you should naturally know the dangers in this officialdom. How many people are willing to sacrifice everything for the so-called position of Prime Minister?"
"Below one person and above ten thousand people, tsk tsk tsk, it's so majestic!"
Meng Tian sneered: "But if you and Zhao Gao conflict, do you think Hu Hai will trust you, the prime minister who holds great power and may be rebellious? Or will he trust his mentor Zhao Gao?"
Meng Tian's eyes were blazing: "Everything you have was given to you by His Majesty the First Emperor. Without His Majesty the First Emperor, you are nothing!"
"When Hu Hai takes the throne, you will be the first to die!"
Meng Tian yelled loudly: "You still have the delusion of being a powerful minister. It's really ridiculous. It's extremely ridiculous!"
"I laugh at you, Li Si, for being so stupid! On the road to hell, Li Si, I'll be waiting for you!"
After saying that, Meng Tian laughed wildly.
"Tell him to shut his mouth, shut it!" Zhao Gao suddenly became furious.
"Come here, come here!" Zhao Gao hurriedly called for people to come.
"You see, he is impatient now."
Meng Tian sneered and said: "Believe it or not, as long as you dare to show any intention of shrinking, he will dare to threaten you with forging the handwriting!"
"You have the leverage in his hands, but if Hu Hai really takes the throne, you won't have the leverage in his hands!"
"Because Hu Hai will not believe you, he will only believe in his mentor!"
"When the time comes, aren't you going to let Zhao Gao control you?"
"Tell him to shut his mouth!" Zhao Gao said fiercely.
"We can't let him continue talking."
Looking at Li Si, Hu Hai's eyes showed a trace of panic: "Don't believe his sow discord. We are now grasshoppers on a rope. How could I frame you!"
"You know me, I will never lie to you!"
"You and I treat each other with sincerity and share adversity. How could I..."
Looking at the eager Zhao Gao, Li Si suddenly laughed.
"How could I be so stupid to believe Meng Tian's dying words?"
"Don't worry, we will still act as planned, don't worry."
"Yes...really?" Zhao Gao said sarcastically.
"You go do what you should do, and I will take care of Meng Tian."
Li Si patted Zhao Gao on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I can definitely handle it."
Looking at Zhao Gao's leaving figure, Li Si's eyes flashed with a trace of evil.
How could Li Si not know what kind of person Zhao Gao was?
But now they are already grasshoppers on a rope. It is absolutely impossible to go back on his words. He has no way out.
But Meng Tian was right, Zhao Gao was a broken man, who knew what he would do to stabilize his position.
You must know that in the court, a person with descendants and a person without descendants are completely different.
The descendants of two families can marry each other to strengthen the relationship between the two parties and build a close interest group.
Descendants can also inherit the connections of their ancestors to ensure the continuity and glory of their own family.
But what does Zhao Gao have? He has nothing?
What if someone wants to deepen their connection with him?
In this era, although interest relationships are eternal, only blood marriage can add an extra layer of insurance to interests.
Does blood marriage work? Sometimes it works, but when it comes time to really fall out, these things are definitely of no use at all.
But without this relationship, how can you make people feel at ease?
You can't give your daughter to Zhao Gao and become a widow, right? Not to mention whether you can live with it in terms of conscience, you can't live with it just in terms of face!
Furthermore, Zhao Gao has no descendants, so how can the people around him continue to maintain this interest group after he dies?
Since Zhao Gao cannot bring eternal benefits to them and their family, it is better to change the family as soon as possible to prevent liquidation.
So who should you choose?
The only two people with the ability to follow the dragon are Zhao Gao and Li Si. It is naturally very clear who to choose.
Zhao Gao is not a fool and will definitely notice this.
Zhao Gao could not give those people what they wanted, so in order to stabilize his position, Zhao Gao could only rely on violence and fear.
At that time, the first person Zhao Gao has to deal with is Li Si!
Li Si had only been a fan of the authorities before, but with Meng Tian's reminder, he could instantly watch everything in front of him from the perspective of a bystander.
So Li Si discovered that sooner or later, he and Zhao Gao would become mortal enemies, and that day was not too far away.
By then, either he will die or Zhao Gao will die!
"You need to make plans early..."
Glancing at the prison where Meng Tian was imprisoned, Li Si's eyes flashed.
…
On the hospital bed, Ying Zheng smiled freely.
"I also ask the Immortal to protect one hundred thousand guardsmen and let those generals sleep with me!"
Qin Tian nodded in agreement.
On the hospital bed, Ying Zheng suddenly opened his eyes and made a sound.
This frightened Zhao Gao and Lisheng who were waiting on the side.
The First Emperor woke up, and what they had done before...
For a moment, the two of them broke out in cold sweat after saying goodbye, feeling that a disaster was imminent.
"Let...let the Guards be buried with me."
As if he knew that he was about to die soon, the First Emperor's words were a little unclear: "One hundred thousand guards and soldiers... Meng Tian..."
"Let Fu Su attack the Xiongnu in the north, and Wang Ping... go south to Baiyue... No, no entry..."
Before he finished speaking, the First Emperor made no sound again.
Ying Zheng was very smart. He knew that without his own instructions, even if these two men were brave enough, they would not dare to attack other soldiers.
But now, with his own oral instructions, he should be able to preserve the power of Great Qin to the greatest extent and minimize the impact of Great Qin on the people.
Anyway, these two people have made up their minds to let Hu Hai ascend the throne, even if they deny it, it will not help.
It would be better to tell Fusu directly and let Fusu go to the north to guard the border and repel the Huns.
Since it was his own oral instructions, and these happened to be beneficial to the two of them, Ying Zheng was naturally not afraid that these two would not comply.
In particular, Ying Zheng's order to have his soldiers buried with him was even more popular with Zhao Gao and Li Si.
Isn't this a perfect opportunity to eliminate dissidents?
Those who disobey will naturally be buried with the First Emperor!
But those buried with him happened to be the loyal ministers Yingzheng needed in the future.
With these people here, why worry about Great Qin not being prosperous in the future?
As for the rest, they are just people who protect themselves wisely or are complicit with them.
Whether he protects himself wisely or is complicit, Ying Zheng does not need these people to wake up again in the future.
Anyway, in the troubled times that follow, no one can survive alone.
Zhao Gao and Li Si looked at each other, and then there was a burst of ecstasy!
Originally they still had to worry about the troubles caused by forging the decree, but now, with His Majesty the First Emperor's personal recognition, they didn't have to worry about anything at all.
They are not forging the First Emperor's oral instructions, but following the First Emperor's orders!
But then, Li Si realized that his opportunity had come!
Now that the First Emperor has spoken personally, Li Si will have no leverage in Zhao Gao's hands, and Zhao Gao will lose the greatest control over him!
As for the handwriting that framed Meng Tian before, those were trivial matters, and with his methods, he could easily eliminate them invisible.
In this case, when Hu Hai comes to the throne in the future, Li Si will be confident to compete with him!
Zhao Gao has his own advantage, that is, he is Hu Hai's mentor, but Li Si also has his own advantage!
He has his own family, his own connections, and his own descendants!
“Great things can happen!”
