Chapter 202 The First Emperor who sought immortality but could not find it

Prophecies, for any ruler, would rather be believed than not believed. Since ancient times, there have been countless cases of people killing people because of such taboo prophecies.

Regardless of whether this was man-made or driven by people with ulterior motives, the First Emperor was still extremely angry because he himself was ordered by heaven, so he believed in prophecies.

In particular, the prophecy also implicated the word Luo, which he tried to erase from existence. A terrifying political storm quickly spread from Xianyang City to the entire Qin Dynasty.

The First Emperor even began to wonder if there were any direct descendants of the Luo family in the world. However, in the Battle of Zhaocheng, the entire city was surrounded three times inside and three outside.

The entire storage room has been dug up, and there is absolutely no tunnel. It is impossible to escape no matter how hard you think.

…

It was still a slightly bumpy road, but the coachman relied on his superb driving skills to keep the carriage almost extremely stable.

Luo Ling closed his eyes slightly and began to recall all the people he had met at Xiang's. Then he opened his eyes and shook his head slightly, feeling a little disappointed.

Seeing this, Qiao Yun asked: "Master, I see that you seem to attach great importance to Xiang Yu. Why are you so disappointed now?"

Luo Ling did not answer directly, but asked instead: "Not to mention his bravery, what kind of person do you think Xiang Yu is?"

Qiao Yun said without hesitation: "Xiang Yu is a kind man. When he sees the sorrow and loneliness, he gives him food and wine, and even sheds tears for him. He is a true-hearted person.

He treated his brothers very well and treated his uncle Liang with great respect. The children of the Xiang family all admired him.

He is heroic, does not like to play tricks, is dignified and bright, and is a hero."

Qiao Yun kept talking. He really admired Xiang Yu and even wanted to marry his daughter to him. Anyway, there is no longer a rule that people with the same surname should not marry, and there is no kinship between the two parties.

Then Qiao Yun saw Luo Ling sighing softly, so he asked hesitantly: "Master, is there something wrong with what I said?"

Luo Ling pondered for a moment, then took out a coin and said, "I can't say it's wrong.

But just like the coin in my hand, if someone asks you what this coin looks like, but you only tell him what one side looks like, then is this coin what he knows?"

Qiao Yun shook his head and said: "Of course not, you have to tell both sides. Do you mean that my understanding of Xiang Yu is too one-sided?"

Luo Ling nodded and said: "Exactly, it would be great if he really was as flawless a hero as you say.

Xiang Yu is the master of military affairs, and there are only two kings in the Zhou Dynasty for thousands of years, King Wu and Xiong Dun.

If this kind of unparalleled god-man wanted to destroy Qin, he would definitely have the sharpest blade.

When he annihilated the violent Qin and made great achievements, who in the world could not help feeling grateful for his kindness?

When that time comes, if Luo Shi can raise his arms again and directly help him become emperor, he will definitely succeed."

Hearing these words, Qiao Yun was dazzled, it was really a beautiful scene, but he knew that since Luo Ling said this, he had already given up the idea, so he asked: "Master, Xiang Yu is really capable of being a military leader.

What makes you dissatisfied? Yun is willing to hear the details."

Luo Ling sighed and said: "He is a military commander and a divine general, but he is only a military commander and a divine general. He does not have the talent or virtue to be a king.

During these days, I observed his words and deeds, and even talked about the world with him in a sideways manner. I found that his character was very similar to that of the Emperor in Xianyang City, from the bottom of his heart.

You are right to say that Xiang Yu was merciful, but he was only merciful to his own people. In his heart, his own people were too few, and he could not even cover one county. How could he be merciful to the whole world?

He has a kind of indifference to the world, and he is really no different from the current emperor in Xianyang City. If he becomes the emperor, he may be a tyrant.

Moreover, he is willing to give food and wine, but is not willing to give gold, silver, pearls and jade. He is not even willing to share these external things. How can he still be willing to share the rewards of title?

You said that Xiang Yu treated his brothers very well. There is no problem. In the past, his ancestor King Su was also a feudal concubine. But the problem is that he relied too much on his brothers, but did not trust outsiders at all. He was always suspicious. There were not many successful people in the Xiang family.

, then there is a problem with his nepotism.

Since ancient times, has there ever been a saint king who achieved success without relying on meritorious officials and relatives? Is there anyone who suppresses the heroes of the world?

Even when our ancestor King Su was just regent, he was very feudal. It was not until after the Eastern Expedition that King Su could rule the world alone. Do you think Xiang Yu can compare with King Su?"

Qiao Yun shook his head, what a joke. After the Eastern Expedition, King Su was accompanied by wind, rain, thunder and lightning. He defeated the army by one man and spoke of the constitution of heaven. All the kingdoms of Xia surrendered. No matter how strong the military leader was, he could not do this.

When Luo Ling said this, Qiao Yun suddenly felt that Xiang Yu was really not suitable to be a king.

"Then we still want to form an alliance with the Xiang family?"

Luo Ling heard the words and smiled brightly: "Of course we have to form an alliance. When we went to find the Xiang family, we didn't originally want to find a supreme leader who could rule the world. Now that we have got a military commander and a divine general, our plan to destroy Qin has become a lot easier. Isn't it worth it?"

Is it a happy thing? As for what will happen next, who can say for sure? People's hearts are fickle, and maybe after seeing the world being displaced, Xiang Yu will spread his kindness to the world?"

Qiao Yun was stunned and said with some embarrassment: "Oh, it's really too greedy. I just think it's a pity. If Xiang Yu became the Supreme, he would never want to cut off King Su's sacrifice like the Qin Dynasty does now."

Luo Ling's face turned cold when he heard this. The most desperate thing the First Emperor did was to try to cut off the sacrifice of King Su. Although this had no effect on Ji Zhao, he did not believe in God, as long as he still had heirs, but for the Luo family

Said, this is the most unbearable thing.

Luo Ling specifically asked King Su for instructions on this matter. He must use the most magical means to alert the world and frighten future kings!

"Qin Zheng should not try to challenge the order of heaven. This would be the most wrong thing among the many things he has done."

Luo Ling's tone was decisive.

…

Xianyang.

After hundreds of thousands of Guizhou people worked day and night to build it, Xianyang Palace was greatly expanded, and finally there was a magnificent scene of a large imperial palace. At Lishan Mountain, an even more majestic palace complex was being built.

However, the project is too huge, and it is only in the foundation construction stage. It is difficult to imagine how beautiful it will be after the construction is completed, which is difficult to find in the world.

"Your Majesty, the construction of the imperial mausoleum is progressing very quickly, and I'm afraid it will be completed soon."

With a flattering smile on his face, the eunuch reported the progress of this huge project to the First Emperor. I don’t know how many years have passed since the construction of this mausoleum. It is definitely the most expensive mausoleum in history, and the number of people buried in Guanzhong

Compared with King Su's Tomb, it's even more magnificent.

The eunuch thought that the First Emperor would be happy, but he didn't expect that he would be furious, "Are you cursing me, you cheap maid?"

The eunuch who was so frightened that he knelt on the ground kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, I don't dare, I don't dare!"

I was confused and confused.

what's the situation?

I'm just here to report on the progress of the project, why do I expect you to die?

But the First Emperor was so angry that he couldn't even hear the words "imperial mausoleum". Over the years, he had been searching for the elixir of immortality. From full confidence to doubt, he was now gradually desperate. For this reason, he also killed a large number of alchemists who deceived him.

In the past, he tried to enter the Tomb of King Su, but failed. He didn't even know the reason for the failure. This made the First Emperor even more convinced of the theory of gods.

In this world, apart from the direct descendants of the Luo family, the First Emperor is the person who most believes that King Su has really become an immortal and gone to heaven.

The greatest thing in this world is time. No matter how great a person is, he is still so insignificant in the face of eternal time.

The First Emperor was such a talented and strategic emperor. He firmly believed that everything he did was groundbreaking, even if the achievements of the saint kings in history were nothing more than this.

But the emperors and emperors in ancient times all gained immortality. According to the descriptions of the immortal family, they lived in the sky and became gods. The closest one was King Su, who claimed to be on par with the sky. This mysterious first emperor has been confirmed.

The eunuch was directly dragged down by the guards in the main hall. Everyone lowered their heads. Everyone knew that he was dead. Only then did Zhao Gao quietly walk in from the side and began to comfort the First Emperor.

The First Emperor was still angry and said coldly: "Zhao Gao! How do you think my achievements compare with those of the ancient holy kings?"

Zhao Gao heard this and said quickly: "Your Majesty, your virtue is equal to that of the three emperors, and your merits are greater than those of the five emperors. This is the public opinion of everyone in the world. Is there anyone who will question it?"

I serve in front of you, and I have no doubt about this!"

The First Emperor asked again: "Since my achievements are so high, why can't I get the elixir of life?"

A lowly slave girl dares to talk about the so-called imperial mausoleum in front of me. Did I conquer such a large territory just to hand it over to others?

Why do you say? If you can't tell me, you can go and accompany that cheap maid just now."

This sentence simply exposed the nature of a single husband. The First Emperor did not establish a prince for so many years, and even gave little power to the princes. A large part of the reason was that he had never thought about passing on the throne. He wanted to be the emperor of Qin forever. Even if

Not even my sons can take it away.

Zhao Gao was trembling with fear and sweating profusely. He never expected that he would be killed so directly. He knew that what he had done was unlucky and he underestimated the anger of the First Emperor.

But Zhao Gao, who could reach such a high position in front of a king like the First Emperor, was naturally not an ordinary person. He immediately knelt down on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the person in the world who you are most anxious about not getting the elixir of life is your slave.

ah.

I rummaged through countless classics and finally found the most likely reason, but that is so ridiculous that I am really not sure!"

?

The First Emperor's eyes instantly focused on Zhao Gao, and he said urgently: "You say, no matter what, I won't kill you!"
