The sudden downpour filled the night with a bone-chilling coolness, and the army marched through the dust that turned into mud that was difficult to walk on.
Few people in the entire army knew that the First Emperor had died, and no one dared to cross Zhao Gao and Li Si to meet the First Emperor. That was a prohibited act in violation of Qin law. This was originally a law to protect the emperor, but at this time it became a traitor. A perfect excuse for me to isolate myself from inside and outside.
Brother and sister Luo Yi and Luo Cai, who were always paying attention to the movements of the First Emperor, were surprised to find that after a long stay, the Qin army went straight to Luoyang instead of Qidi.
Luo Yi frowned and muttered: "The army is returning to Luoyang. The First Emperor is going to pass Hangu Pass and return to Xianyang. What happened to make him rush back to Xianyang in such a hurry? Qinchuan, eight hundred miles away, is the hometown of the First Emperor. Even if the Qin people If you resent him, you won’t rebel directly, so what could it be?”
Luo Cai was staring at the news that the Qin army had purchased a large amount of abalone. His eyebrows furrowed slightly and he said with some uncertainty: "Brother, the First Emperor may be dead."
This guess was so shocking that Luo Yi straightened up suddenly and looked at Luo Cai in disbelief. He knew that his sister had always been good at meticulous observation, and her intuition was amazing, and she never hit the wrong target.
Luo Cai said softly: "In this kind of weather, the Qin army purchased a large amount of abalone and placed it next to the imperial chariot of the First Emperor. If the First Emperor was still alive, could he endure this kind of thing? The only reasonable explanation is that the First Emperor died. In this hot weather, the corpse will soon become rancid. In order to cover up the death of the First Emperor, some people in the Qin army used abalone, which is extremely smelly, to cover it up."
Hearing this, Luo Yi felt that it was too reasonable, and immediately said: "Acai, what you said makes sense. Immediately send someone to sneak into the Qin army to check the situation. If it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, I am afraid that the First Emperor is dead. Send someone to inform you immediately. Brother, I'm afraid the opportunity to destroy Qin has come.
The First Emperor died in the prime of life. He did not establish a prince. Although his son Fusu had a virtuous reputation, he was exiled to the north. Now the Qin army is covering up so much. I am afraid there is a conspiracy. People in the world have suffered from Qin for a long time. Once the news of the First Emperor's death spreads Come, those heroes who dare not cause chaos because they are afraid of the First Emperor will probably rise up in an instant. "
For the current Qin Dynasty, even if Fusu comes to power, the results will not change much. His name of benevolence has not spread to every Guizhou leader in the Qin Dynasty, but the tyranny of Qin Fa has been heard in every Guizhou leader. Heart.
Besides, can Fusu change the direction of Da Qin's chariot by taking the helm?
Even if he was really capable and willing to reform, by the time he took the power of reform, the crumbling Qin Dynasty would have been destroyed by the raging anger of thousands of Guizhou heads.
…
In the Great Wall Corps, in the military tent, the envoy from Xianyang City held a sword and looked at the two nobles in front of him, the young master Fusu and the general Meng Tian. One was a royal nobleman and the eldest son of the First Emperor, and the other was born in the Meng family and was a nobleman of the third generation. , the number one general in the Qin Dynasty, ranking above the Wang family.
The messenger sternly said to Fusu: "Master Fusu, His Majesty is very disappointed with what you did in the Great Wall Corps. He said that you are extremely pedantic and can't achieve anything. You are really letting down your grace. You must commit suicide and are not allowed to return to Xianyang."
Fusu's face turned pale when he heard this. He really didn't know why his father would kill him like this. It was just some advice. Even though he was upset, it wasn't like this. But recalling how cold his father had always been, he did such a thing. , it’s really normal, my heart is full of despair, and I am ready to drink the poisonous wine.
Although Meng Tian felt something was wrong, but thinking of His Majesty the Emperor's always being mean and ungrateful, he did not really doubt that this incident happened to the First Emperor. This was something Hu Hai, Zhao Gao and others took advantage of.
At the critical moment, a young man dressed as a Confucian scholar rushed in and knocked the poisoned wine to the ground with a wave of his hand. This move shocked everyone present.
The envoy from Xianyang shouted angrily: "Who are you? Don't you know this is a capital crime?"
The young Confucian scholar did not wait for anyone to react, drew his sword and stabbed. The envoy screamed in pain, blood flowed out, and then fell to the ground. Who would have thought that a Confucian scholar would kill people without saying a word. Even a Mohist ranger would have to ask at least two questions. What a reason.
Fusu was dumbfounded, pointing at the corpse on the ground and speechless. He was a man who dared to anger the First Emperor in person, but what Meng Yun did now was beyond his expectation, "Meng Yunzi, you..."
Meng Yun was born in the Meng family. When the First Emperor killed the Mencius school, the Meng family was naturally the first to bear the brunt. Meng Yun escaped with the help of Fusu, and later hid in the Great Wall Corps under a pseudonym to help Fusu.
Meng Yun killed the envoy. Meng Tian woke up from a dream and immediately captured the remaining few people. In the flash of lightning, the people who had just shown off their power became prisoners. Meng Yun said sternly: "Young Master, I have a sword, please kill him immediately." Kill them!"
Fusu waved his hands repeatedly. He was still in extreme shock. Meng Yun's eyes flickered fiercely when he saw this, and he killed all the envoys from Xianyang with a few more swords.
Then he looked at Fusu angrily and said, "Sir, how could you be so confused? Isn't it unfair that you died without any mistake?"
Fusu said dejectedly: "My father has a destiny, how can Fusu violate it? How can Fusu be such an unfaithful and unfilial person?"
Now that you have killed the envoy to save me, I am afraid it will implicate you. This is Fusu's injustice to you. Alas, you'd better run away quickly and don't stay here. My father will not forgive you. "
Although he knew Fusu very well, Meng Yun was still shocked by Fusu's remarks. How could loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and justice be such an inconvenience?
He interrupted Fusu directly and said sternly: "Master, I am the descendant of the Meng family. Do you know what righteousness is better than me?
A king treats his ministers like grass and grass, while his ministers regard him as an enemy. A king, his ministers, a father and a son are no different. There is no law in the world that requires loyalty and filial piety.
Not to mention that he was a single husband like Jie and Zhou. King Jie of Zhou was killed by Wang Zishu. "Luogong Chunqiu" records the killings instead of regicide. Why is this?
Because it is the wish of all the people to kill a monarch who behaves like an independent man. This is the true righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period. You do not learn the great righteousness but learn the small righteousness. Is this correct? "
Fusu was so reprimanded by these words that he blushed and became speechless. Meng Tian blushed even as he watched. He was worthy of being a disciple of Mencius. He was sharp-tongued and could talk about Wujun's affairs so naturally. He was able to criticize others angrily in front of his son. My father is an independent man. No wonder your Majesty tricked Confucianism and specifically tricked Mencius' disciples.
Meng Yun added: "Besides, do you really think that the First Emperor wants to kill you?"
Fusu and Mengtian were stunned, and Fusu hesitated: "What do you mean by this?"
Meng Yun said with resentment on his face: "Why did he want to kill you? Although you are not what he wants, the other princes are worse. Who can bear the heavy responsibility of the country? If he kills you, will his dynasty no longer want it? Or him? I really thought I could live forever.
This must be an edict from someone in Xianyang City. I even suspect that Dufuzheng died on his way to the world, but he just dragged Hu Hai back to Xianyang. Dufuzheng left a legacy for you to succeed to the throne, so the people around him The traitor wants to get rid of you. After all, both Zhao Gao and Li Si have a bad relationship with you. "
It can be seen that Meng Yun's opinion of the First Emperor was too great, and Fusu didn't care. After all, his father had done such a big mistake, and the victim was just a little angry with his words, which is understandable.
Although he had strong opinions on the First Emperor, what Meng Yun said was so reasonable that Fusu was shocked. He couldn't help but agree with Meng Yun's words and quickly asked: "Meng Yunzi, what should I do now? "
Meng Yun set his sights on Meng Tian. The key now is naturally Meng Tian, the commander of the Great Wall Legion. If Meng Tian helps, Fusu will have much more room for choice.
After hearing Fusu's words, Meng Yun said categorically: "Of course it is to punish Qin!"
? ? ?
Fusu and Meng Tian were expecting what Meng Yun would say, but Meng Yun's words immediately silenced the two of them.
Do I kill myself?
But both of them knew that Meng Yun must have a deeper meaning in his words, and they were waiting for Meng Yun to explain.
Meng Yun closed his eyes slightly and said: "The world has been suffering from Qin for a long time, and Qin's law has been suffering for a long time. Once Qin Zheng dies, the whole world will definitely rebel. Is it my prejudice to tyrannize Qin's name?
This is the voice of the people in the world. Just like the surging river, anyone who dares to stand in front will be shattered to pieces.
Young Master, you must stand together with the people of the world, denounce the current tyrannical Great Qin, and then express to the people of the world that it will definitely change. The former Great Qin with harsh laws will be destroyed, and the new Great Qin will be a Kingly and benevolent Great Qin. Then you Describe the beautiful scenery of the Luo Kingdom to the people of the world, tell them what kind of country you want to build, and calm down people's hearts first, so that there may be a glimmer of life.
After that, General Meng will be needed to suppress the rebellion, but with the current public sentiment in the world, sir, do you have the ambition and ability to be a holy king? "
Fusu is actually a very resolute person, but he is too self-aware. He knows that he does not have the ability to be a holy king, so he hesitated when he heard the words. When he saw Meng Yun's slightly disappointed eyes, he cheered up and said : "Fusu can do it. Fusu is willing to do anything for the sake of the country of Qin."
Seeing Fusu's hesitation, Meng Yun already knew the outcome. Now the people of the world do not support Qin. Although Fusu's character is resolute, he is a little indecisive at critical moments. It would be okay if he can maintain his success, but he is not a hero who can reverse the destiny.
The ruling order of Xianyang City and the entire Qin Dynasty is unclear. No matter what the status of the imperial edict is, Hu Hai returned to Xianyang to succeed. This is an indisputable fact. If Prince Fusu wants to ascend to the throne, he must first fight a civil war. Shandong Heroes will Give Da Qin this chance?
This is a dead end, and Da Qin’s energy has been exhausted!
