In ancient times, celestial phenomena and prophecies, which seemed very illogical to modern people thousands of years later, had a high audience.
Once the celestial phenomena changes, there must be something wrong with the court.
As for whether the king is immoral or there is a traitor, it depends on where the person who makes the explanation sits.
For example, now, those in the government and those who have further expectations are trying hard to find the fault of Li Si and other people who are favored, and plan to find opportunities to replace them. While those in the opposition, that is, the nobles of the Six Nations who have not been completely cleaned up, are
He was vigorously preaching that the Qin Dynasty was unjust and the emperor was immoral.
This kind of thing would not cause any splash in an era when people are wiser. Even if there are people who try to force the rhythm, they will only become the laughing stock of everyone.
But in this era when most people are still ignorant, the propaganda by these remnants of the Six Kingdoms, whose status is equivalent to various experts and big Vs, actually caused an uproar.
For something like this that has aroused widespread concern, even in modern times, if the top management did not come out with a few words of explanation, it would be considered guilty and shady, let alone the superstitious ancient times.
Therefore, Daqin must respond to this matter as soon as possible.
The simplest way is for the central government to compromise with the local governments. If they gain advantage, they will naturally work hard to maintain an environment that is beneficial to them and suppress those voices.
But Ying Zheng would not choose to do this.
He was the first emperor who unified the world, and there was no such word as compromise in his dictionary. In addition, he was closely related to the fate of the country, and he discovered an inappropriate trend, so he sent a special person to Dongjun to investigate the matter thoroughly. What happened?
Unexpected natural disasters, there are still people who are responsible for them.
Because this matter is huge and can easily be exploited by people with ulterior motives, the investigation team sent by Ying Zheng is very complex.
There are official imperial envoys, secret nets, shadow guards, Yin Yang family, etc. All forces check and balance each other in order to find out the truth.
Dongjun was originally the territory of Wei, located in the middle of the four kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, Qi, and Chu. Before the Qin Dynasty unified the world, it was one of the most important military layouts of the Qin State.
Even today, it is still an important pillar for suppressing the eastern part of the empire.
When the imperial envoy arrived, the officials from Dongjun were naturally responsible for receiving them, but the ones who greeted Luo Wen, the Shadow Secret Guards, the Yin and Yang family, and others became the local snakes of Dongjun, the Chi family.
Yes, although Chi Yao didn't pay much attention to the title of Protector of the Country, he had to say that this title brought great convenience to the development of the Chi family.
The most important thing is that it’s true!
The remaining forces of the Iron Blood Alliance, which were originally controlled by Jing Salamander, Mo Ya and others, could not be seen in the light. After all, they were all anti-Qin forces. But with the protective umbrella of the Chi family, they quickly changed their appearance and became Zongheng.
A legal organization in the dark side of the empire.
Of course, one of the most important reasons for this is that the Chi family's operating program has always followed the pace of the empire, taking maintaining stability and making money as their own responsibility. They have never engaged in any rebellion, nor have they tried to revive the country like others.
Zibaijia is so aloof and cold and difficult to get in touch with.
Therefore, the empire is happy to watch them expand their influence in the world, which can be regarded as a check and balance on Luo Wang and the Yin Yang family.
The imperial court has always been difficult to completely separate, but now it is really difficult for Da Qin to spare the energy to re-plan the arena, so it simply lets its subordinates fill the space first.
Nowadays, Da Qin has four top Jianghu forces under his command, namely Luo Wang, Yin Yang Family, Shu Shan and Chi Family.
Among them, the power of the Yin and Yang family is only in the center and does not go out to other places. Shushan almost does not go beyond Bashu. Therefore, the remaining area is divided between Luo Wen and Chi family.
In contrast, Luowen pays more attention to the center, and cooperates more with local gangs to collect intelligence. The Chi family is different. They are really controlling those small gangs and establishing their own power. However, because of Chi Yao
, but almost completely does not involve the court.
In this way, a balance is formed with Luo Wang, and they jointly control the world of the empire.
This time too.
Compared with the imperial envoys, Luo Wang and other Jianghu investigation teams were formed faster. The first thing they rushed to Dongjun was to see the fallen star.
but……
"What did you say? The things were taken away by the farmers?"
The leader of Luo Wang this time was Zhao Gao. Because he was at a disadvantage in the fight with Xuan Jian, he would not miss any opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Naturally, he would not miss such an important event this time.
"Um,"
The disciple of the Chi family who was responsible for receiving them nodded, "You also know that the farm's headquarters is in Dongjun. That thing smashed directly into the place where they worked. When we heard the news and rushed over, there was only a big one on the ground.
Outside the pit, there is nothing. However, a rumor has spread recently..."
"So to say,"
Zhao Gao's gloomy face was as dark as water, "Are they the ones who spread all the rumors now? Or... were they forged this thing from the beginning, just to slander His Majesty and disrupt our Qin Dynasty?"
"A farmer can't fake a celestial phenomenon like that."
This time, Da Siming came to the Yin Yang family. She rejected some of Zhao Gao's speculations from a professional point of view, "But what happened next, especially the treacherous words on the legendary meteorite... I'm afraid it has something to do with them."
Yes, that's all about the celestial phenomena of Yinghuo Shouxin. The key point is that there are widespread rumors that there are words engraved on the meteorites.
[The First Emperor died and the land was divided]
This is... too deliberate.
The human factor is too obvious.
However, this news has not spread widely yet.
"Actually... there is a second rumor."
The Chi family disciple Qiqi Aiti added.
"Um?"
Luowang Zhao Gao, Shadow Secret Guard Zhang Han and Yin Yang Family Chief Siming all focused their attention on him.
"It's four characters, [Hu who destroyed Qin]."
"Hmph, these gutter rats are really restless!"
Zhao Gao snorted coldly and geared up to prepare a good meal for the farmer.
But Zhang Han, who was born in the military, thought more: "Hu, does he mean the Hu people in the north? His Majesty built the Great Wall to resist them. Could it be..."
As a rising star in the military, his way of thinking about problems is very different from that of Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao's idea is equivalent to investigating. The information left by the enemy, whether true or false, is treated as interference and eliminated. But Zhang Han will think about it from the perspective of an army general. Although this statement may be made up by the enemy, it is
It may not be a random fabrication. When it comes to national security issues, no matter how cautious you are, you should correct it if it exists and encourage it if it doesn’t!
So he decided to write a letter to send back the news, at least to make the emperor somewhat prepared, so as not to be caught off guard when war really broke out.
…
…
Although the Qin Dynasty has unified the world for more than ten years, this less than one generation is still far from eliminating the influence of the six countries of the old era.
This is the biggest basis for the frequent activities of the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms.
Secondly, it was because the implementation of the New Deal affected too many people's interests. In addition, the Qin State wiped out the six countries too fast and too hastily. It had no time to digest it, and there were not enough credible officials to manage the new territory.
No matter what Yingzheng's purpose is or what Daqin's decree is, in the final analysis, it still needs the most basic level of county magistrates and village elders to implement it. But how can these people be willing to implement policies that are obviously detrimental to themselves?
What to do?
Ying Zheng's method is to force them to do it.
Are you disobedient?
Do you dare to look at the black-armored Qin army outside and say it again?
If you don’t dare, just execute it honestly!
These policies include relocating people, recruiting civilian husbands, etc...
From Ying Zheng's point of view, in a game of chess, it is normal for those who are wealthy to contribute more.
But at the local level, everyone has not yet had time to form this awareness.
This approach quickly aroused criticism.
In the final analysis, Ying Zheng was too hasty.
He has too many grand plans to realize in his heart, and he is not willing to quietly recuperate for decades before getting busy. This can be seen from the fact that he works more diligently after taking the elixir. He is not a person at all.
Someone who can take some time off.
But his steps were so big that many people couldn't keep up.
This gave the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms an opportunity to take advantage of.
It just so happened that this rare celestial phenomenon [Ying Huo Shou Xin] gave them an excellent opportunity, so they immediately started to exert their efforts.
The rivers and lakes suddenly became unstable as if a storm was about to come.
…
…
These things could not have alarmed Chi Yao originally, because even in the original history, only when Ying Zheng died did the survivors of the Six Nations who longed for the old country dare to really take action, and even none of them dared to start an attack.
First shot.
What does it mean that "the First Emperor is no longer alive, but his remaining power is shocking to the world"!
So if this happened while Ying Zheng was alive, the success rate can be imagined.
But here comes the problem.
Just when the celestial phenomenon of Yinghuo Shouxin occurred, Donghuang Taiyi used the astrological laws to predict the demise of the Qin Dynasty and the death of Ying Zheng.
You must know that Chi Yao's three corpses are still in Donghuang Taiyi. If Donghuang Taiyi knows about this, it is equivalent to Chi Yao knowing about it.
This puzzled him while he was in retreat.
But there was one key point that he noticed.
The top of Jade Emperor Mountain.
"Are you sure your calculations are correct? The Qin Dynasty perished first and the First Emperor died later?"
Chi Yao asked in confirmation.
"It can't be wrong." Donghuang Taiyi shook his head.
"That's weird."
Chi Yao caressed Xia He.
Judging from this sequence, it is obviously different from the original history.
It stands to reason that a healthier and more energetic First Emperor would be more majestic. And with him around, who could bring about the destruction of the Qin Dynasty?
In response to Chi Yao's question, Donghuang Taiyi didn't say anything, but just stretched out his hand and pointed upward.
"sky?!"
Chi Yao was shocked.
yes!
In this world with Chi You, Huang Di and Jiutian Xuannv, it is true that we cannot simply copy the original history.
After all, Jiutian Xuannv has a record of personally descending to earth to help Huang Di defeat Chi You!
Chi Yao frowned, did he really violate some taboo by allowing the emperor to live forever?
But as the person who directly handles the situation, why doesn’t anyone come to cause trouble?
"Just wait and see, maybe you made a mistake."
…
…
Chi Yao decided to take another look, but the situation in the world would not stop because of this.
Since Yinghuo Shouxin and the falling star, rumors spread all over the world, firstly that the First Emperor was about to die, and later that the barbarians were going south to knock the pass.
While Ying Zheng sent people to Dongjun to investigate, for the sake of safety, he sent his eldest son to patrol the border north.
However, not to mention that there always seemed to be people in the world who always interfered at critical moments, resulting in slow progress in the investigation. The eldest son, who originally wanted to go north to stabilize the morale of the army, was attacked by the northern wolves before arriving at the military camp and was poisoned.
So much so that I was bedridden as soon as I arrived.
This wasn't the end yet. Then the peasants took the lead in raising the banner to oppose Qin and restore Chu.
Through a series of tricks, they successfully pulled together a team and shouted the slogan "Great Chu Xing, Chen Sheng King".
As for why the leader of the farm family, Xia Kui Tian Guang, is not the king...that is unknown.
That's all for the rebellion. However, due to various unexpected luck, they were not immediately wiped out by the Qin army. This led to the rise of more rebellions in the old places of Zhao, Wei, Chu, Qi, Yan, etc.
For a moment, Da Qin seemed to be in flames of war everywhere, and the country was in turmoil.
But what makes everyone in the Qin State feel aggrieved is that the rebels are obviously not very strong. Let alone elite soldiers, the largest peasant rebel army is only tens of thousands of farmers, and there may be some adulteration among them.
There are 1,800 so-called martial artists.
But with only those soldiers who have no armor or stomach, ten thousand Qin troops can completely crush them.
But here's the problem. Everything seems to be going wrong when the Qin State sends troops to exterminate these rebellious troops. Either the water is poisoned, the march is slow due to weather, or there are various strange reasons for delays.
All in all, it cannot be eradicated.
"This is not normal."
On the top of the Jade Emperor Mountain, Chi Yao and Donghuang Tai were sitting together.
"Yes, if something like this happens once or twice, it can be said to be an accident, but like this..."
Chi Yao shook his head, "It seems that there is something wrong with the national destiny of Da Qin."
"Taoist?"
For such ethereal things, the first thing that Donghuang Taiyi thought of was Taoism.
"No, even Bei Mingzi doesn't have this ability."
Chi Yao denied his speculation and pointed to the top of his head.
Dong Huangtai understood in a second: "God's will?"
"You could also say that,"
Chi Yao sighed, "God's will has been difficult to ask since ancient times. I really didn't expect it..."
Because there was an example of Yuan Tiangang in the previous world, Chi Yao really didn't realize that the elixir could actually be involved in this kind of problem.
Using the Heavenly Gu Qi Watching Technique, he looked above his head and saw that the surging Tianhe River, which represented the fate of the Qin Dynasty, seemed to be constantly undergoing some kind of attack, with water splashing constantly. The force of the blow on the Tianhe River seemed to be passing through something mysterious. The contact was passed to Ying Zheng, causing his body to gradually start to have problems.
"Isn't there allowed to be immortal emperors in this world?"
Chi Yao probably guessed why Da Qin was targeted, "Well, it's time to meet Ying Zheng again."
