Seven men and a lame old horse walked through the paths that would turn into barren grassland if no one walked on them for months.
In the distance, there was the enthusiastic sound of gongs and drums, and the tapping of horse hooves, but the strong man with only one arm at the head felt that it was too noisy.
He wanted to cover his ears, but his only remaining arm was holding the horse, so he could only give up and continue to move forward.
There is a woman on the horse, lying head down on the horse, with a rope tied from the horse's belly to the woman's waist.
The woman's face was rough and pale, covered with loess and sand, her brows were furrowed and her eyes were tightly closed, with a look of pain on her face. As the lame old horse jolted extremely violently, there was no sign of waking up.
The remaining six men were dressed in ragged clothes, and through the tattered gaps, one could see that each of them had abdominal muscles.
But these abdominal muscles are not aesthetically pleasing at all. The extremely obvious external expansion of the bones is enough to show that these abdominal muscles are about to starve to death and lose weight.
"Almost there."
The one-armed man looked back and said, and the moment he turned around, he immediately put on a warm smile.
"Keep on holding on, the sound of these gongs and drums is because the big men in the city are afraid that we will lose our way and are showing us the way."
The six people behind him, who had long been extremely exhausted, felt a lot of strength coming out of their bodies. This journey they once thought would never end finally came to an end.
Their faces were covered in dust and sand, and their age could not be discerned. The two men at the front took two steps and asked in a very weak tone with extremely precious strength:
"Is there really food when we get to Yiyang?"
"Is there really a doctor who can treat Yaomei's illness?"
Judging from their voices, the two people asking questions were still very young.
The one-armed man didn't know how many times this was asked by the two young men who didn't reach the crown. Anyway, it was many, many times.
He nodded heavily, no matter how many times, and replied solemnly:
"Yes, there are meals and medicine and stones."
The man who was following the rear of the team, always paying attention to the woman on the horse, not only to check her condition, but also to prevent the rope from loosening and causing her to fall off the horse, said in a deep voice:
"Benefactor, I know I shouldn't ask for too much, but I still want to ask.
"The giant can beat drums in the city, why can't he come out to greet us?"
The one-armed man's face showed a bitter look for the first time in front of everyone.
"There are too many roads and I can't find anyone.
"There are too many people to pick up."
If you zoom in to a thousand meters, look down from a high altitude, and search carefully, you can see that there are dozens of teams led by a one-armed man.
They were like a group of ants that could be seen everywhere, so tenacious that they crawled towards Yiyang.
The world is huge, but the only place that can accommodate them and survive seems to be Yiyang.
The scientists who saw off the First Emperor entered the Yiyang Medical Center. At the very outside of the medical center were seven comatose people who had just arrived today. The scientists and other Mohists who studied medical skills began to treat them.
After an hour, five were alive and two were dead.
These people suffer from many symptoms, including severe stomach pain, constant coughing of blood, and body fever.
But in the final analysis, most of them can be classified as one reason - not eating. Without eating, there is no resistance, and it is easy for wind evil to invade, causing all kinds of diseases.
The current food in Han is enough to feed all the people, but Yiyang still has many refugees from various counties who cannot afford to eat and will starve to death if they don't run into the city every day.
At night, the Jade Rabbit climbs.
The scientist is sitting on the bed and holding a pistol in his hand.
The First Emperor did not take his pistol away, which surprised him.
In his mind, the First Emperor would not return it to him if he saw such a large-scale murder weapon that could very well threaten the life of the First Emperor.
Scientists don’t know whether the changes made by the First Emperor were good or bad.
Ever since the wealthy people from Yiyang fled to various counties, all counties have become aware of the situation in Yiyang. Just accepting the refugees has consumed all the scientists' attention.
"Yiyang is growing day by day. Your Majesty, this time you are wrong."
Since the last debate with Ying Chengyu, the scientist has been suspicious.
But as time went by, and as more and more people lived in Yiyang, scientists became more and more certain that the Mohist line was not wrong, but his master was wrong.
But after confirming this matter, the scientist's face did not look complacent, but instead looked full of loneliness.
Now he doesn't want Yiyang to grow.
He no longer wants to prosper the Mo family, he just wants to go back and be Qin Mo.
"The more prosperous the Mohist family is, the more miserable the people will be."
A drop of crystal water hit the barrel of the gun.
The patrol convoy left Yiyang with the beating of gongs and drums. Ying Chengyu did not know about the surrounding teams rushing to Yiyang.
He has sorted out the affairs in Han Dynasty, made some changes and restrictions on various schools of thought, and now leaves full power to the county governor.
Qiang, who is from the secret guard, will definitely report to the master if he encounters any major uncertainties.
But small things like dozens of people fleeing from various counties could not come before the strong case, and were ignored by the magistrates of each county.
In the carriage, Ying Chengyu said with some surprise:
"Brother Emperor, are we leaving like this?"
Yiyang was as it was when it came, and it was as it was when it left. The First Emperor left Yiyang alone and took no measures at all. This was beyond Ying Chengyu's understanding of the First Emperor.
"What else do you want?
"Do you want me to appoint the magistrate of Yiyang County as the governor of Xinzheng County?"
The First Emperor asked rhetorically.
Ying Cheng smiled and said nothing. This result was better than the best result he had imagined.
[What on earth did the scientist say to Brother Huang to enable Brother Huang to tolerate a city of Mohists? Brother Huang has always had zero tolerance for disobeying Wang’s orders.]
Ying Chengyu was really curious.
The convoy traveled around in several counties in Han and Di for more than a month.
On the third day of May, the First Emperor decided to go to Zhao Di, and the patrol marched towards Zhao Di.
On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, after walking for two days, the patrol that was about to enter Zhao Di changed direction and went to Qi Di.
The accompanying Taishi Ling recorded in "History of Qin":
[On April 19, a meteorite fell from the sky in Donghai County, and a letter was written - The First Emperor died and the earth was divided.]
[On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, when the emperor heard about it, he was furious and abandoned Zhao and went to Qi.]
Donghai County is on the edge of the East China Sea.
There were many roads to take from Han to Qi, so Ying Chengyu chose the road that passed through Chu—passing through Dang County, Sishui County, and then to Donghai County.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Peixian County is in Surabaya County.
Anyway, I was going to Donghai County, so I didn't know which way to take, so I happened to pass by and have a look at Liu Bang.
In addition, Ying Chengyu is also looking forward to the meeting between Wu Caishen and Gui Guzi.
The motorcade is no longer strolling slowly and leisurely through the streets, but is galloping like a march.
The First Emperor was particularly agitated.
The celestial phenomena of Yinghuo guarding the heart are in front, and the prophecies of meteorites falling to the ground are behind.
Although he was influenced by Ying Chengyu and no longer had any fear of heaven, these signs still made him feel uneasy.
Ying Chengyu, who was traveling with him, was actually very happy, extremely happy.
The First Emperor asked several times but couldn't find out why, so he simply stopped asking and assumed that his brother was ill again.
He summoned all the Yin-Yang doctors and the minister Zhao Gongming to discuss the matter.
Several Yin-Yang doctors did not dare to make rash assertions, saying that they had to see this meteorite with their own eyes before they could make any explanation. Even the mysterious man like Zhao Gongming who rode a black tiger and came to the door took the initiative.
If Xu Fu had not died, these Yin-Yang doctors might have dared to express their suspicions.
But Xu Fu died, and the cause of his death was false accusations and false accusations against the Lord of Chang'an.
There is a precedent, how can these Yin Yang doctors dare to express their half-hearted thoughts.
The fostered Yin-Yang Doctors did not come to any conclusion about these signs, which made the First Emperor so furious that he almost suppressed the fire and executed all the Yin-Yang Doctors.
It is said that time is the best medicine, but even after nearly half a month had passed, the Emperor's mood had not calmed down.
But the First Emperor was no longer agitated. His reason regained the upper hand and ordered the convoy not to move at a high speed.
The meteorite has already fallen, so there is no point in hurrying.
The convoy was no longer in a hurry and returned to its normal marching speed, which made the minister who had always been pampered and complaining about being extremely uncomfortable with it feel relieved.
At night, the convoy set up camp. Ying Chengyu found the Emperor, who had finally calmed down. He took the Emperor to an open space that was not blocked by branches and could see the sky full of stars. He asked all his followers to stay a hundred steps away.
"Brother, don't worry, the Donghai County meteorite must be man-made."
Ying Chengyu's first words made the First Emperor feel relieved.
"Lu Sheng, Han Zhong, Hou Sheng and other yin and yang doctors can't figure out why. Why do you dare to make such a conclusion?"
"If this engraved meteorite really existed, it would have fallen in Dongjun County a few years later, not Donghai County!"
Ying Chengyu smiled brightly.
Anyone who has a little in-depth knowledge of the Qin Dynasty will know the seven-character incident of a meteorite falling from the sky and writing a letter "The First Emperor died and the earth was divided." Naturally, Ying Chengyu also knew about it.
He couldn't remember exactly what year it happened, but it certainly wasn't this year.
Because of his arrival, the First Emperor unified the world ten years in advance. In the original history, at this point in time, the word "First Emperor" did not exist, and the world was still full of countries.
He doesn't remember the time, but he remembers the place.
He clearly remembered that the meteorite hit Dongjun, not Donghaijun!
"How do you know?"
The First Emperor said solemnly.
"I have learned a lot of things, but I happen to know a little bit about Onmyoji."
Ying Chengyu pulled the First Emperor to sit down.
I found a branch and started drawing pictures on the ground. While drawing, I pointed to the stars in the sky and explained.
At first, the First Emperor was just messing around as his own brother, but the more he listened, the more serious his expression became.
The First Emperor did not know the art of yin and yang, and he was not very interested in this kind of prophecy. If all calculations were accurate, then the Zhou Dynasty headed by Ji, who was proficient in Yi Shu, should not have declined and eventually perished.
But the First Emperor had carefully read the Yin-Yang books. He didn’t know Yin-Yang, but he could understand it and he knew how to use it.
The Qin Dynasty was established as a water virtue and worshiped black, and the rotation of the five elements in the dynasty was the theory of the Yin and Yang family.
And Ying Chengyu was right, both in what he said and in the pictures he drew.
[This Zhu's attainments in Yin-Yang are actually higher than those of Yin-Yang doctors such as Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng.]
[Learning martial arts and yin-yang arts, all this guy’s energy is wasted on these useless things!]
The First Emperor's face looked a little gloomy.
Ying Chengyu didn't know why, so he thought he had copied something wrong, and tried to say:
"Brother Huang, didn't you understand?"
The First Emperor said angrily:
"I understand, keep talking!"
"Then why does the emperor's face look so bad? When I was a child, he looked like this when I was explaining political affairs to him."
The First Emperor's face became even worse.
Although Zhao Ji had carefully trained him since childhood, she could not compare to Ying Chengyu who had been trained by the Ying family of the King of Qin since he was a child.
The Zhao Ji family has a high status in the Zhao Kingdom, and Zhao Ji has access to many major events. But there are some major events that only the Zhao family will know about.
For a long time after arriving from Handan to Xianyang, the First Emperor was unable to express any outstanding opinions on many extremely important political matters, so he needed Ying Chengyu to make up for his mistakes.
The First Emperor, who refused to admit defeat, was very depressed when his younger brother, who was four years younger than him, made up lessons.
Although this is due to the huge difference in the growth environment between the two, it was still embarrassing for the stronger First Emperor.
This was also one of the reasons why the First Emperor later studied hard and was extremely diligent in political affairs. He had to review one stone memorial every day before going to bed.
The scene now is very similar to that of more than ten years ago.
"You know a lot, Zhu Zi. You haven't been in court for ten years, so why are you going to learn this?"
Ying Chengyu lowered his head solemnly and continued to endorse.
"Yinghuo belongs to fire, also known as Mars..."
[Zhao Gongming, if you cheat me, I will stew you as a black tiger!]
Zhao Gongming, who once again took Black Tiger out to sleep alone, slept so soundly that he suddenly sneezed.
The dark-faced strong man opened his eyes and frowned slightly.
"Someone cursed me?"
He who has traveled far in both Yin and Yang, gods and immortals, will not be as ignorant as Ying Chengyu who was cursed by witchcraft and sneezed all day long.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, drew two random lines on the grass, and then looked in the direction of Ying Chengyu with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Why are you malicious to me? I risked losing my head by accompanying you to deceive you!"
In the past ten days or so, at Ying Chengyu's request, he had thought hard and thought hard before coming up with a rhetoric that even those Yin Yang doctors could not find fault with.
The artificial theory of the Donghai County meteorite requested by Ying Chengyu is very simple, because it is a fact.
It is true that Zhao Gongming did not see any meteorites falling from the sky in the past three months. If they did not fall on that day, it was because of man. Zhao Gongming could just tell the truth in terms of yin and yang according to the celestial phenomena.
But what Ying Chengyu mentioned later about the dangerous sand dune, Ke Di, and Zhao Gongming didn't see it at all, which was too difficult.
Zhao Gongming wanted to prepare a set of Yishu arguments based on what Ying Chengyu mentioned in front of a group of Yin-Yang doctors.
If it weren't for what Ying Chengyu did and if Zhao Gongming had to treat him as a saint, Zhao Gongming would never have accompanied him to commit this crime of deceiving the king!
"Do the sand dunes bring bad luck to me?"
The First Emperor narrowed his eyes.
"The celestial phenomena show this. Although you and I don't believe in heaven, there is no need to ask for trouble. Brother Huang, just remember not to go."
Ying Chengyu doesn't believe in heaven or fate, but there is no need to test this kind of thing.
According to historical records, the First Emperor died of illness in Sand Dune, and Ying Chengyu naturally disliked the place of Sand Dune.
The news of the meteorite falling from the sky in Donghai County made Ying Chengxuan more confident in the reform. In order to reassure the First Emperor, he decided to use the Yin and Yang technique that the First Emperor could understand to guide him.
If he told the truth and told the First Emperor that he had traveled from a later life and that the meteorite had fallen too early and was in the wrong place, the First Emperor would definitely seek out Xia Wuqi to cure his hysteria.
