I rely on Qin Shihuang to enshrine the gods

Chapter 177 True and False Edict

——The little emperor continued to have large-scale hair collection, pulling out the hair and bringing out the flesh and blood in the hair follicles, which made the heads of Guizhou in the world lament.

——Because it was the continuation of the late emperor's rule, Prime Minister Li Si did not dare to openly disobey and took a wait-and-see attitude when lightning and thunder came down.

In Meng Yi's mansion.

The autumn wind in the pavilion was rustling, and the wind passed by the pavilion pillars, blowing the tulle, turning thousands of times.

There are a few sparse bird calls here, probably because of the remoteness, and the bird calls are somewhat empty and profound.

Just the same.

A jar of Lanling fine wine and three ounces of small plates.

Li Si and Meng Yi raised their glasses and drank. The wine that burned their throats was put into the meat belly, and the harsh words were swallowed into the heart.

Li Si seemed to be too old to hold a cup. He waved his hand and sighed: "Old man, old man, I can't do it anymore. I can't drink anymore. I sit there every day and can't move. I have a lot of problems. It's not like you, a young military general, who still gets up early every day." Boxing?"

Meng Yi's energy is indeed very good.

He closed his eyes and drank a whole dendrobium, and his voice was as clear as a pine torch: "The Prime Minister is now responsible for supervising the country. He is in a position of great power and high respect. Every day, letters and documents are constantly coming in and out of your mansion. Even His Majesty also How can you say that you are old when you give up three points?"

"Tell me, you and I are both classmates in Jixia, but we rarely have such a day of drinking and sitting around."

Li Si exclaimed, "No matter how powerful you are, my eldest daughter is married to you. It can be said that both the Li family and the Meng family are prosperous."

Meng Yi poured another half of the cup for himself: "The Meng family is loyal to your majesty and loyal to the Qin Dynasty. Honor and disgrace, prominent or unknown, everything is given by your majesty."

Li Si looked at his former classmate: "You are indeed a high-ranking military general, with a lifetime of loyalty. No wonder the late emperor respects you more and more. You are almost always accompanying me on hunting tours later. Even the prime minister, I, can't interfere. .”

"When the late emperor was dying, he appointed the prime minister to assist the country. In the past, Lu Buwei was only the prime minister of Qin. The prime minister is different. He is in charge of the lifeblood of the people and is the prime minister of the world."

"You can't take it seriously."

"O people in the world, how dare you!"

Meng Yi said sternly, "Now that the Guizhou head of the Great Wall has just been completed, all the people in the world are eagerly looking forward to their relatives returning home to reunite, settling down their wives and children, and managing their livelihoods. These are the people's livelihood plans in the Guizhou head and are the foundation for the country's stability. Why do we distribute After spending 700,000 people in Guizhou to build the mausoleum, they still have to continue to conquer Chidaozhidao, and even continue to expand the Abang Palace! There are no young men in the fields, women and children starve to death, the fields are thin, and there is famine, which has cut off the foundation of people's livelihood and the whole country is in panic. Ah! Li Si!”

"Those who lose the world also lose their people, and those who lose their people also lose their hearts. Do you want to lose the hearts of the people and let those who restored the Six Kingdoms come back?!"

face questioning.

Li Si swallowed the wine, coughed a few times, and wiped his mouth with the handkerchief again.

Meng Yi suddenly stood up and hit the pillar with his right fist: "The late emperor's edict is to appease the world and rest in all directions!"

"The little emperor only wanted to uphold the legacy of the late emperor and did not read the remonstrance at all. Yes, your confrontation in the court was refuted by the little emperor, and your remonstrance was detained by me. Today's little emperor is jealous and suspicious, and I am helping you. .”

Li Si turned around and said, "The late emperor's edict? Does it mean that the edict that the late emperor handed over to Si is wrong, or that what the late emperor handed over to you was something else."

"All your talents are used to become a shrinking old turtle, Li Si, you are so greedy for power! Even if you go underground, what face do you have to face the late emperor!"

"I have devoted half my life to the great Qin Dynasty."

Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by Meng Yi, who said coldly, "His Majesty once said that your loyalty is no match for your selfishness. It is true."

Li Si's face was cold: "I have lived an upright life."

"Tampering with the imperial edict is enough for you to kill the nine clans."

"."

There was a faint sound of fighting against Li Si. Li Si banged the dendrobium in his hand on the long case, and the wine spilled all over his sleeves. "Slandering officials of Da Qin deserves to be tongue-tied!"

Meng Yi put it on his neck word by word, with a sharpness that could cut the flesh: "Your Majesty was seriously ill that day, and the old minister went to pray for the mountains and rivers. In fact, he ordered the old minister to station in Xianyang. Your Majesty knew that he was about to die, so General The posthumous edict was brought back to the old ministers and was not published secretly. But you read out the false edict that day, cried against the wall, and were stopped by the ministers. You cried and shouted that since you can't die, you can live with your life, which is ridiculous!"

It was as if all the blood in his body was rushing upwards.

Meng Yi felt remorseful: "I thought you were still the same Li Si who swore to save everyone from chaos, eliminate disasters in the world, and make the strong not bully the weak, and the masses not bully the few!"

"I believe that you are far more talented than me and Youxiang Feng. You should be more far-sighted than anyone else and be able to lead the Qin Dynasty to further prosperity. The young prince is young and ignorant. You should be able to once again break out the remonstrance that shocked the past and the present. A guest letter can help a building from collapse and turn the tide from collapse!"

"I thought you were just greedy for power. Why are you so greedy?"

"Your Majesty! If you have a spirit underground, you should die with your eyes open!"

Every ravine on Li Si's thin head was sunk in. It was a skeletal collapse of the sky. He said hoarsely: "I did nothing wrong."

"Now that things have happened, with the Second New Deal, the sky is falling and the earth is falling, and the labor in the head of Guizhou is not enough, but you are still doing your best!"

Meng Yi suddenly unfolded the imperial edict from his sleeve, "This is the imperial edict of the First Emperor!"

He suddenly unfolded the edict, and Li Si knelt down in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, Meng Yi refused to read out, and just looked at him with sad and scarlet eyes.

Li Si did not raise his head. At the moment when he knelt down, many fragments flashed in his mind.

In fact, he had already had a three-foot-deep rift with the late emperor.

The last time the late emperor spoke to him was not to entrust him with the imperial edict, but to say that he had seen the hidden shortcomings of Qin's government and asked him whether Qin's government had more benefits than disadvantages or more disadvantages than benefits.

Li Si said that day, the merit lies in the present and the benefit lies in the future.

Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng was not satisfied with his answer and asked him to break down first and then establish. He wrote a book on Qin's politics and then submitted it to him.

Before the heavy rain in Sand Dune Palace, the sky changed, like a sharp sword hanging in the direction of the late emperor's study.

Li Si took the letter to the emperor and went in to pay a visit with trepidation.

Your Majesty is not in the study.

The lamps and candles were crackling and burning, and the medicinal tentacles next to them were at 3/3 temperature. It was obvious that they had been away not long ago.

Li Si's eyes fell back on the box on His Majesty's desk. The special runes symbolized that it was a first-level national secret. The meaning of what was placed in it was already clear.

His Majesty's old illness kept recurring and he suddenly fell ill in the sand dunes. It is impossible for the ministers like him not to feel the faint hint that a new rain is coming.

Hu Hai is Your Majesty’s beloved heir, so who should be sent to assist him?

Li Si's eyes were glued to the black box.

Safety can be dangerous, and danger can be safe. Ordinary people can only see his all-powerful glory, but they can't see that he is trembling every day, walking on thin ice.

Hu Hai is His Majesty's beloved heir. Besides the Emperor, the highest authority is the Prime Minister.

This is the study area, there is no one else.

The group of guards who changed the guard didn't know that His Majesty was not inside.

Li Si's scalp and soles of his feet were numb, and he felt inexplicable dizziness and fear.

He didn't even know how to stretch out his hand.

There was a commotion of His Majesty's shouts outside, followed by Zhao Gao's high-pitched and thin voice piercing the night sky, and the tearing sound of urgently summoning the imperial doctor. Li Si felt that his soul had left his body.

The hands were shaking so lightly that they were weightless.

As the saying goes, test the intention of the minister and then deprive the minister of power. The master holds the power of life and death of the minister, as violent as lightning and thunder.

Just then.

The thunder and lightning outside had already flashed in through the gap in the window, illuminating half of Li Si's face as stiff as fleshy leather.

"Li Si, your calligraphy is among the best, and you are always on His Majesty's left side. It is nothing but a trivial matter for you to copy His Majesty's handwriting. What's more, it is His Majesty's study, with all kinds of secret parchment and jade seals. As for the missing secret paper, only When the heavy rain washes away the matter. If you see that His Majesty is not dead, the things you took out of the box are your own things. If His Majesty is dead, it is a forged edict." Li Si knelt down and hoarse: "How dare I do this? If someone was watching when His Majesty was drafting the edict, wouldn't this lie be a conspiracy?"

"The imperial edict is a top priority for the country. If your majesty intends to move, why hide it instead of reading it? You have already figured this out."

Meng Yi pointed at him and rebuked angrily, "I didn't expect you, Li Si, to be so unscrupulous for power. The little emperor is young and has repeatedly done harm to the country. You didn't advise me. For the sake of your power and status, you turned a blind eye and took advantage of the fact that it didn't harm your descendants. If you don't take off your official hat, resign and leave, go back to your home and go to Cai!"

"Li Si is guilty. People in the world are now in dire straits and chaos is spreading. Si is tossing and turning and sleepless. He is really guilty. Li Si is ashamed of his late emperor."

Li Si closed his eyes, took off his official hat, put it gently on the ground, and said: "Si, Shangcai Luxiang Buyi, I was fortunate enough to be promoted to prime minister and named Tonghou. His descendants are all highly respected and highly respected."

When Meng Yi saw him surrendering, he quickly walked out of the pavilion holding the imperial edict, and was about to summon the guards hiding in Meng Mansion to arrest him.

But I didn't expect it.

Two frightening bird calls passed by, and cold arrows were fired from all directions, and Meng Yi's chest was shot like a hedgehog.

His head alone was hit by two arrows.

Even those who had the slightest chance of survival were shot through.

This Shang Qing, who might be able to turn the tide, fell to the ground with blood spilling from his mouth under the haze of Da Qin's New Deal.

He opened his eyes angrily, wanting to see Da Qin's final destination, but he could no longer get up.

The official hat hit the ground irrevocably, crushing the new shoots in the cracks of the floor.

Li Si picked up his official hat from behind, blew it, wiped it, and put it on his head, "You and I are both disciples of Xunzi, but you have a heart of compassion. Si is greedy for power, and you have a heart of compassion." Heart."

His voice sounded like an old duck, "Hahahahaha, even if I am greedy for power, all I want to do is to be hungry but want to be full, to be cold but want to be warm, and to work but want to rest. This is just human nature, what crime is there? "

Stepping over the dead body of Meng Yi, he pulled out the so-called real "edict" that Meng Yi was holding on to.

It was blank.

"But I didn't tamper with the imperial edict. You can't believe that the wise and powerful late emperor entrusted a villain with a crown of monkeys. You can't even believe that the late emperor entrusted a cruel and willful tyrant. You don't want to believe it. You I would rather believe that I am a traitor."

"You want to deceive me, right?"

"You, the Meng family, hold a high and powerful position, and Meng Tian holds a large army to guard the border. You, the Meng family, are loyal, brave, resolute, and outspoken. You have long been a thorn in the side of the revolutionaries. You have been the emperor and the courtiers for a long time."

"You dare to disobey the young emperor like this. With the cruel nature of the young emperor, he will not easily forgive you Meng family. I have been classmates for many years, so I will give you a treat."

"Next, maybe it's my turn."

Two lines of tears fell from Li Si's eyes.

His body like a stick was dangling under his official robe, and he held his fists in the direction of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum and said: "Here, I am a commoner in Cailuxiang. I am fortunate enough to be promoted to prime minister and be granted the title of Tonghou. My descendants will all have the highest status and great honors." Therefore, my life and death are at the mercy of my subordinates. Your Majesty, how can you bear this down? How can you bear it down—"

*

That is the place where the ancestral dragon lives, the Imperial Tomb of Lishan Mountain.

months ago.

The Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, which 700,000 Guizhou leaders worked on day and night, was completed. The Guizhou leaders spent hundreds of miles to see him off, adhering to their admiration for the heroic ancestor and the joy of being able to return to their families to take care of farming after the completion of the Lishan Emperor's Mausoleum.

This mourning is grand, and it is also their beautiful fantasy that the Second New Deal is about to begin.

But the horror and despair are there.

After Hu Hai cried in pain, he ordered the last door to be sealed.

The craftsmen and thousands of palace maids in their youth were trapped and died alive inside, and were buried in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.

Although Qin Law has already severely abolished this model of life and the heinously cruel human sacrifice system.

But the person in power still said coldly: "Those pottery figurines are just cold dead objects. How lonely my father must be. Leave some maids to talk to my father, and leave those craftsmen to repair my father's mausoleum."

He seemed to think it was inappropriate, and wanted to open the imperial tomb again and fill it with troublemakers and musicians.

He was blocked by a group of veterans.

It is said that those Qin soldiers who cannot return home and whose souls are drifting outside will return to the pottery figurines and continue to guard the late emperor.

This can be regarded as stopping the cruelty of this second generation ancestor.

Zheng Guo had already been dismissed by some officials.

When he returned here, he carried two big bags of gold on his shoulders. These were all given to him by Hu Hai. He came back just to give them to the craftsmen. Those craftsmen worked in the dark, and some died from overwork, and some died in landslides. More people die from the dispersion of mercury, especially when mercury is transported and poured.

Let’s talk again.

Those mortals who don't even have enough to eat have no chance to care about whether it's poisonous or not.

He just talks a little more.

Anyway, if you don’t waste your words, you might be able to listen.

Every time someone died, he would take some money from his salary.

A little, a little, turned into a lot of money.

Not many of the later craftsmen survived. He remembered the names of each of them, which of them had children and which did not, how old the children were, where they went to do corvee labor, which girl at the entrance of the village he liked, whose mother-in-law ran away, and whose mother-in-law was still taking care of him at home. Paralyzed old mother.

Some are still very young, some are literate and want to go to Wanxiang Pavilion, and some want to be a ranger.

These are the ways for mortals to survive.

They just want to live in a different chapter.

Why can't I even survive?

Zheng Guo dug a pit and buried all the gold in the soil. The huge teardrops dripped into the loess layer and were submerged instantly. They looked so frivolous, as light as those human lives.

"When we were leaving yesterday, you asked me, Mr. Zheng, where you were going. I said, after repairing it, the little emperor will give us a big reward. Look, there's a lot of gold."

All the five elements were burned, sweeping the heaven and the earth.

Facing the entrance of the tomb that had already been sealed, Zheng Guo dug like crazy with his hands, "嘤嘤嘤."

He was crying bitterly, and his heart seemed to be stung by thousands of bees.

The deeper I dig, the colder it reaches my bones.

In the blur, he could still hear the fear and screams buried inside, and the desperate calls for help. He seemed to have dug up, and found those fingers dripping with blood and showing white bones.

I kept digging deeper and found cold skeletons.

Master Zheng, why?

The pain in his heart kept increasing, but Zheng Guo was like a clay sculpture, frozen in place.

He stared blankly at the black lines spreading across his hands.

Suddenly, a strong wind of yellow sand blew by, and the originally handsome Master Zheng disappeared. Only a beaver covered with velvety and smooth yellow-brown hair crawled out of the black hole.

The beaver twisted its claws and raised its head to look at the sky.

"Uh-huh-huh."

Its eyes were full of animalistic instincts. It sniffed left and right at the place where the gold was buried, and instantly flowed into a yellow grassland.
