In a remote cell in the prison.
Ji Heng and Mr. Ji sat facing each other.
On the table were a pot of turbid wine, a plate of lamb shank that had already been cut, two relatively crude pot helmets, and a gray clay pot on the copper plate, which contained salted meat. The meat sauce has a strong taste.
In the Qin Dynasty, only high-ranking officials and above could eat the sumptuous food on the table.
Ordinary people are not qualified at all.
Ji Heng nodded slightly, and just started eating without paying any attention to it.
Mr. Ji has long been accustomed to this, and he doesn't care much about it. He just keeps saying that Ji Heng accidentally said last time, "The Warring States Period was the meeting of great changes in ancient and modern times." He seems to have a strong feeling for this sentence.
When the turbid wine enters the belly, a stream of hot air comes out.
Ji Heng then slowly said:
“The period between Zhou and Qin was a great change for the world and the world throughout the ages.”
"Since ancient times, all feudal lords have been feudal princes. Each country has its own king, and ministers and ministers have their own officials. They follow the established rules and take it as a matter of course."
"Afterwards, the evils accumulated. The tyrant king and the barbaric lord abused his people without any end. The powerful ministers and powerful families usurped and killed the prime minister, and the chaos continued."
"The seven kingdoms will be merged again, and war will be fought, and everything will be ruined. In fact, we have to change."
"then......"
Ji Heng raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance. Thunderbolts seemed to appear in the sky, stopping him from continuing to speak.
In a trance.
He thought of his second life.
In his second life, he was Wang Pu, minister of the Later Zhou Dynasty.
With the memory of later generations, he took everything in the world, strategized, and won thousands of miles. With the help of gods and men, he helped Zhou Shizong almost sweep the world. Unfortunately, he leaked too many secrets and eventually died suddenly together with Zhou Shizong. Because of this, he was usurped by the rebellious ministers.
Failure is a success!
"So what?" Mr. Ji asked curiously.
Ji Heng pondered for a moment, reorganized his words, and continued: "Then Qin started to encroach on the six kingdoms after Duke Xiang, Zhang Yuwen, Mu, Xian, and Xiao, and it lasted for more than a hundred years, until the first emperor was able to unite with the title of Lun. "
"The horns are determined by the heroes."
"It is difficult to unify Ruos with such strength!"
"The unification of the world is actually the result of 'power', 'luck' and 'the changing situation of heaven'!"
"However, the situation of the world's nobles and ministers for thousands of years will not change drastically in one moment."
"thus......"
Ji Heng looked towards the sky, a sharp look flashed in his eyes.
In his second life, he died due to leaking the secret of heaven, but in this life, he never thought about helping the world.
Now he is in prison and will be killed in half a month. Even if he is really punished by God and destined to die young, he can only live for fifteen days now. If he dies a few days earlier, what difference does it make to him?
Either way, it’s all death!
He solemnly said:
"Therefore, even if the Qin Dynasty unified the world, this change in the world would still not end."
"This change that will affect China forever has just begun."
"The Qin Dynasty unified the world only because of luck!"
After the words fell, there was dead silence everywhere.
Mr. Ji was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't reacted yet, and he was a little confused.
Wasn't Ji Heng still praising Qin earlier? Why did the conversation suddenly change and it became that Qin's dominance of the world was just a matter of luck?
Separated by a wall.
Hearing the words coming from the other side of the wall, Fusu's expression suddenly changed.
He never expected that he would finally persuade the First Emperor to come and check on Hu Hai's recent changes, but he would end up running into this.
"Father... son..." Fusu's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
Not long ago.
Zhao Gao was exposed for selling his official position and was imprisoned due to solid evidence. Hu Hai was close to Zhao Gao and interceded for Zhao Gao several times in front of all the ministers.
In the end, he angered the First Emperor and was imprisoned on the spot.
Prison is hard.
As an elder brother, how could Fusu sit back and watch?
After deliberately mentioning Hu Hai a few words, he began to plead with the First Emperor, and even bluntly stated many times that Hu Hai had corrected his mistakes and realized his mistakes.
Now I am deeply reflecting on it in prison.
finally.
He persuaded the First Emperor.
However, the First Emperor was obviously not convinced by Fusu's statement, and instead chose to come to the prison to check the situation on the spot.
As long as there are no accidents and Hu Hai stays in prison honestly, this time in prison will basically be over. But Fusu never expected that he would encounter this at the end of his life.
He actually knew something about the person who drank and chatted freely with Hu Hai. This person was a nobleman of the Yan State. He was implicated in the slanderous discussion between alchemists and Confucian scholars and was imprisoned.
A few days ago.
Hu Hai and this person were talking normally, so why did something go wrong at the most critical moment?
For a while.
Fusu was also panicked.
But the First Emperor was by his side, but he didn't dare to ignore it, and he was still concerned about his younger brother.
Fusu pondered for a moment and said in a cold voice: "Father, this man is a remnant of the Six Kingdoms. He has a lot of resentment towards the Qin Dynasty. Now that his death is approaching, he is completely broken. That's why he dares to speak so openly. Please don't, Father." Take this nonsense to heart.”
"This is an oversight, please forgive me."
Ying Zheng looked indifferent.
It makes people unable to see the emotions or anger at all.
In fact, he didn't take this matter to heart, and he wouldn't care about it with a dying person.
He ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, and during his ten-year reign, he had heard too many words cursing, cursing, resenting, and hating Qin. Even when he stepped into prison just now, he was surrounded by voices cursing himself and the Qin Dynasty. less than?
partition.
After being stunned for a while, Mr. Ji finally came to his senses, looked sullen, slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Ji Heng, how about Da Qin? It's not your turn to point fingers."
"You have to recognize your identity clearly. You are a criminal. I am the one who allows you to eat and drink well. I am asking you to talk about Great Qin's great achievements in the past, not to judge Great Qin."
"You don't have the qualifications!"
Ji Heng's face remained as usual, he took the wine bottle into his arms, raised his head and poured it into his mouth.
He said with bleary eyes: "Didn't you ask me to talk about 'The Warring States Period, a great revolution in ancient and modern times'?"
"I didn't want to say more at first, but I just figured it out. I'm not going to die soon, so why should I worry too much?"
“Who is the changer?”
"Change the country, change governance, change livelihoods, and change the people!"
"But these are still too far away for Da Qin, because Da Qin has not even ended this troubled era."
"Nonsense." Hu Hai stood up angrily, his eyes full of anger.
"Nonsense?" Ji Heng shook his head and sighed softly: "You overestimate Da Qin's control over the world. Da Qin currently only has the name of unification, but no real unity."
"Conquering the world and governing the world are two different things."
"After the world is unified, the newly-established empire must complete the transformation from a military country to a civilized country. This also means that only by completely integrating the culture and systems of the six Kanto kingdoms into society can the Great Qin truly end the troubled times. .”
"But what is the current situation of the Qin Dynasty in the past ten years since its founding?"
"The matter of the failure of the Guizhou leader to gather and the old nobles' chaos in the law has not been solved in the slightest."
"Can this be called the end of troubled times?"
