Zhao Si's vitality is infecting Li Si and the First Emperor. Both Li Si and the First Emperor will feel relaxed and happy when getting along with Zhao Si.
Of course, this is actually the effect of the jade halo.
Li Si was a great helper to Zhao Si in implementing the imperial order. Although historically Li Si chose to betray the First Emperor's will in the end, it was really excusable. Moreover, after Hu Hai ascended the throne, Li Si repeatedly advised and upheld Qin's laws. At that absurd moment, he saved the last bit of vitality for Da Qin.
In fact, the demise of Great Qin was truly irreversible only after Li Si was executed.
Zhao Si was not stingy, at least he was not stingy with Li Si. Zhao Si never minded doing such a favor without any expense.
"The old land of Qi is Cui, Guo, Qing, Lu, and Tian; the territory of Chu is Qu, Jing, Zhao, Tian, Bai, and Xiang..."
"Tsk... I don't know if Tian from Qi State is related to Tian from Chu State. I guess it is. The Xiang family is not even ranked in Chu State, but at the moment, the Xiang family is undoubtedly the family with the most strength. ...Once the relocation order starts and the Xiang family is moved to the pass, there will be a lot of excitement..." Zhao Si thought secretly while making statistics of nobles from various places.
Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu...that figure in history books who cannot be bypassed no matter what.
It's a pity... Xiang Yu has never made a fortune, and is even just an insignificant part of the widespread attack of the Imperial Relocation Order... In the Xiang family, Xiang Yu's seniority is not even high, let alone compared to the nobility of the world, the Xiang family can only be said to be the lowest. First-class, not top-notch.
"The troubled times at the end of the Qin Dynasty...how many heroes and heroes..."
"Who would have thought that Peixian gangsters would eventually dominate the world?"
The imperial edict... Zhao Si lowered his head and looked at the bamboo slips on the table.
In fact, the relocation order has already begun.
When does a policy begin? Lowering the price of salt, distributing immortal grains, and improving the public opinion image of Da Qin were actually the beginning.
When the knife falls on the head, it is the time when the coffin has been sealed.
Just like the beginning of a war is never the handover between the two armies, from the beginning of diplomatic test, to the raising of food and grass, and the mobilization of troops, these are all the beginning, but the real handover between the two armies has come to an end.
"Why are you sighing?" Li Si asked after hearing Zhao Si's subtle sigh.
"Nothing much... It's just that now that the price of salt has dropped and grain is grown locally, the people's view of Da Qin will definitely improve a lot. Logically speaking, the old nobles of the six countries should not be so quiet." Zhao Si said with a smile.
When things go wrong, there must be monsters. There are many smart people among the nobles of the Six Kingdoms who can see the abnormalities in Da Qin's various actions.
Even if they can't tell it, they are always happy to smear Da Qin's image.
Da Qin did two commendable things. The old nobles of the Six Kingdoms would be a fool if they didn't make some small moves.
"Where has it been quiet again..." Li Si said with a wry smile on his face.
"A Fang song, Great Wall ballad... Previously, there were alchemists who crossed the sea in Penglai and called Hu Ye the leader of the Qin Dynasty... There are countless kinds of ballads every year, and there are countless rumors. How can everything be spread in Xianyang..." Li Si shook his head and smiled.
"Not only that, every time His Majesty patrols the world, has he not encountered dozens or hundreds of assassinations on the way? But most of them have not even seen His Majesty's chassis, and they are hunted down by the advance soldiers..."
On the surface, the nobles of the Six Kingdoms did not dare to rebel against Qin or raise troops, but they kept making small moves.
In addition to taking advantage of Qin's laws for personal gain, corrupting the laws and blaming the Qin Dynasty, there were also a series of scandalous operations.
For example, arrange ballads, such as Afang songs, Great Wall ballads, or create some gods and ghosts to hint at the Qin Dynasty.
As for the assassination of the First Emperor, it never stopped.
In the past, there was Jing Ke who assassinated the Qin Dynasty and left his name for eternity. Later, there was Zhang Liang who became famous through the assassination of Bolangsha. There are so many knights and righteous men in the world, all hoping to assassinate the First Emperor and make the world famous.
After all, anti-Qin and Heiqin are politically correct in aristocratic circles.
The down-and-out taxis and rangers with no family fortune must be politically correct if they want to integrate into this circle. If they can bring some minor troubles to the First Emperor with their lives, the nobles will not hesitate to treat them as their guests.
As long as you express your desire to assassinate the First Emperor, it won't take long for someone to receive you, give you gifts of real money and silver, and prepare weapons, armor, and various other needs for you.
A trip to glory and wealth before death is the pursuit of most down-and-out people in life.
He was distinguished in front of others when he was alive, and earth-shattering when he died.
In short, as long as you want to assassinate the First Emperor, there will be no shortage of sponsorship. Of course, it is not that no one will shrink from the battle after receiving sponsorship.
However, the consequences of retreating in the face of battle are very serious. The sponsorship of nobles is not easy to obtain. If you retreat in battle, you will face not only the personal revenge of the nobles, but also social death.
In this era, taxis and knight-errants are confused. Their families are in decline, they have some knowledge, and have no ambition. They can see the sky, but have no room for advancement. They blindly follow behind the old nobles of the six countries and devote themselves to Sneaking into their circle, he listened to the bewitchment of the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms, and regarded Qin as an enemy who destroyed his family and country.
They were just unlucky people under the shadow of the times. They naively thought that killing the First Emperor would end all this and achieve the most noble ideal of life.
However, most of the unlucky ones who accepted sponsorship and came to assassinate without overestimating their capabilities could not even see the Emperor's drive. Some of them were captured in the planning stage, and some died under the investigation of soldiers along the way. .
Most of them had no chance to see the First Emperor and let the First Emperor look at them.
There are countless assassinations against the First Emperor in the world, but there is only one Jing Ke and only one Zhang Liang.
Most of the remaining unlucky ones did not even leave their names behind, and carried their ignorant ideals into death.
"Let me tell you...how could the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms be so content and just watch Da Qin's reputation improve?" Zhao Si smiled after hearing Li Si's explanation.
The Old Nobles of the Six Kingdoms is quite interesting. It only takes three tricks to spin things around.
Slander by public opinion, rumors of witchcraft, assassination...
To put it bluntly, they were counting on public opinion to discredit them, secretly pursuing their own interests, and transferring the people's anger and grievances to Da Qin. They took advantage of the opportunity to make profits while watching the situation to see if there was an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
The theory of witchcraft is even more nonsense. It is nothing more than a prophecy made today that if the Qin Dynasty takes jujube pills, the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty will die soon, or it is to stab the villain and beat the gods, hoping that a thunder will fall from the sky and kill the Emperor.
Assassination...compared to the previous two methods, it is more majestic. After all, there was Zhuan Zhu Qingji in the past, Jing Ke assassinated Qin celebrities through the ages, and Sima Qian also opened a biography of assassins in later generations.
But in the final analysis, the top old aristocrats of the Six Nations still couldn't escape the category of being petty.
You don't dare to lift the table, it's inappropriate to stand out.
When the First Emperor was touring the world, everyone was a good boy. They all did their best in rows, and each one was better than the other like three good students.
Secretly, he only dared to Tao Daqin's Xia Sanlu through Xia Sanlu.
"This is the weakness of the great nobles..." Zhao Si sighed after hearing this.
"The weakness of the great nobles?" Li Si captured Hua Dian.
"I only dared to fool Li Shu and deceive the knights and knights. When the Qin army came to the city, they did not die for the country. On the contrary, after they unified the world, they all screamed happily. They did not dare to raise an army, but they did not accept it. Dare to rely on fame, power, and money to rely on such dirty means instead of doing grand things. Isn't it a sign of weakness and incompetence?" Zhao Si spat.
"Cai!" Li Si clapped his hands and cheered when he heard this.
Zhao Si's sentence about the weakness of the great nobles clearly described these old nobles from the Six Kingdoms.
"Looking at it from this perspective, the past path was indeed the wrong one..." Li Si shook his head.
Compromising with such a group of weak and incompetent rats, isn't this a sign of lack of confidence?
"However, it's all thanks to His Majesty's command of the world and his patrols." Li Si earnestly flattered the First Emperor.
The First Emperor, who was reviewing official documents, began to write slower and slower. Although he did not raise his head, it was obvious that he was listening.
"Having said that, I'm curious about what kind of tricks the old nobles of the six countries can come up with, such a grand gesture of cutting the price of official salt and distributing grain seeds." Zhao Si smiled.
If you think about it carefully, in the history books, when the First Emperor passed by Kuaiji, Xiang Yu looked at the back of the First Emperor and boasted that he could replace him with heroic spirit. Now it seems that it is mediocre.
The First Emperor was prostrate on the side as he passed by. He didn't dare to speak until the First Emperor left.
Don’t talk when you are close, but don’t wait until you are far away.
He had to wait until he was not far away to show off his talents. He kept his voice low for fear that others would not hear his bold words, but he did not dare to shout loudly.
"However... at this time, the First Emperor was the most powerful person in the world. At this time, Xiang Yu was not the overlord of Western Chu. The current Xiang Yu could only be regarded as a rising star of the Xiang family. Objectively speaking, even in the Xiang family, Xiang Yu's The seniority and status are not too high." Zhao Si smiled.
Although the image of the Overlord of Western Chu is a bit tilted in his mind, people are different. At that time, Xiang Yu had not gone through the transformation of burning cauldrons and sinking boats.
"It's still the same thing going around..." Li Si smiled.
"If it were reversed, it would be easier, and Da Qin would have an excuse to transfer his order in a grand manner." Li Si spread his hands.
"They won't tell the truth." Zhao Si and Li Si looked at each other and smiled.
On the other side... Zou Feng was sitting cross-legged on the tall building of the observatory.
"Sir, what is there to see in broad daylight? Can't even see the stars?"
The disciples on the side bowed to serve and asked questions with puzzled expressions on their faces.
"The Emperor Star moves tonight!"
Zou Feng raised his head and glanced at the bright and sunny sun, his brows full of solemnity.
"On this day, I count twenty years!"
“I just don’t know if it’s a disaster or a blessing!”
Stargazing is originally the professional skill of the Yin-Yang family, and the Yin-Yang family was also the earliest school in Zhu Xia to study astronomy.
Many years ago, Zou Feng calculated based on the trajectory of the stars that the Emperor Star would move differently today.
When the disciple heard this, he immediately became solemn. Then he looked up at the sky with a serious face, but could not see anything.
"Sir, can you calculate the fortune and misfortune?" the disciple asked sincerely.
Zou Feng shook his head with a wry smile on his face: "Misfortune and fortune are determined by actions, how can they be calculated?"
"Then Sir, can you avoid misfortunes and blessings based on the astrology and pray for your country and people?" The disciple asked again.
"The stars are just reflections of the results. They are things that have already happened. How can they be changed?" Zou Feng smiled and shook his head.
"Ah? Then what exactly is stargazing looking at?" The disciple looked puzzled.
"Go over there." Zou Feng said calmly for a moment.
"You may not have taken it to heart if you did something wrong in the past, but the stars will never forget it. Whatever mistakes the country has made will be reflected in the stars. What the disciples of the Yin Yang family should do is not rely on observing the stars to predict We should avoid misfortune and fortune, but use the stars to confirm whether the path we are taking and the path the country is taking is correct. If we go wrong, we should change it. If the country goes wrong, we should advise the king, rather than keep going until there is no end. It's time to save it." Zou Feng said seriously.
"Oh..." When the disciple heard this, he felt a little disappointed.
This was his first month of studying stargazing with Zou Feng. He had had many illusions about this profound knowledge before, but now, with Zou Feng's explanation, this illusion was quietly broken.
Zou Feng did not respond to his disciple's disappointment. He just quietly looked up at the bright sky and murmured to himself.
"Can people really change the stars?"
………
On the other side, on the galloping path of Great Qin.
The envoy of Da Qin was galloping towards Xianyang on the Chi Road.
On the wide galloping road, there is no obstacle. The strong horses gallop as fast as those on horseback, and you can enjoy the speed and passion.
He is a soldier who served in Baiyue, and now his title has not changed.
This time I went to Xianyang via Chidao to deliver a report from Xiangjun in Jiujiang.
It's not an urgent report, it's just a summary of the situation in various places in Xiangjun, Jiujiang. The time is not very tight. The reason why Sheng is in such a hurry is to save time and make a trip home without delaying the delivery of the memorial.
Under normal circumstances, no one is allowed to enter Chidao. Chidao is patrolled by special personnel to prevent unauthorized entry. Apart from the inn and the soldiers patrolling Chidao, almost no one was encountered along the way.
It was a bit boring, but also a bit boring. On the main road of Nuoda, only Sheng ran all the way. Under the bright sun, Sheng shivered for no reason.
His eyes were in a trance, and Sheng seemed to see a figure blocking his path in front of him. Sheng quickly shook his head and tightened the reins.
There was indeed a person. He was unkempt, wearing tattered clothes, no shoes, the soles of his feet were covered in mud, and his exposed chest was covered with thick chest hair.
"Who are you and why did you enter Chidao privately?"
Without any hesitation, Sheng immediately drew Qin Jian and scolded the opponent.
Seeing that the opponent did not answer and was still approaching him, Sheng did not hesitate and stabbed with his sword. What was surprising was that the sword penetrated the opponent's chest so easily, but there was no blood, and neither did the opponent. Any movement of resistance was just to insert the Qin sword and walk in front of Sheng's horse!
"Help me give this relic to Lord Dianchi!"
The weirdo held up a gorgeous jade wall and handed it to Sheng's hand.
"Who is Jun Chi? Who are you? Why are you giving away the bi?" Sheng asked sharply.
The other person raised his face with a sad look on his face.
"Zulong is going to die this year!"
Sheng heard this and his heart suddenly jumped!
Zulong will die this year? who is he? Who is Jun Chi? Why is he telling himself this? What is this jade wall?
Sheng realized that he seemed to have encountered something extraordinary.
He suddenly realized that except for the First Emperor, no one in the world could be called the Ancestral Dragon.
"how you said that?"
Katsu asked sharply while remaining alert.
Why would he say such alarmist words again?
The opponent just shook his head, pulled out the Qin sword from his chest, and then put it back into Sheng's hand.
"go quickly!"
After that, he turned around and left. In an instant, the figure disappeared without a trace.
Sheng sat on the horseback with a suspicious face and touched the jade wall in his hand.
Sheng is a rough man, but he can also feel the extraordinaryness of Yubi, but it is a pity that he cannot tell the origin.
He didn't understand most of what the other person said, but he only understood one sentence.
The other party said that Zulong will die this year!
(No more, please note that there is no fantasy or mystery, which will be revealed later.)
