A knife in love

The gray-clothed old man sighed at this point, and then continued: "Middle-earth is a model for all nations and generations. The three emperors and five emperors and the two virtuous kings, Yao and Shun, were dedicated to the public and refused to monopolize the throne. They wanted to put sages on the throne, but Yu and his son broke the rules. Later, many treacherous officials and rebels followed Yu and Qi's father and son in their vain attempt to unify the world and ascended the throne by themselves as emperors. People respect Yu and Qi very much, and want to imitate their appearance to seize the throne and pass it on to their descendants. Leaving aside other barbarians, there are many such ambitious people in Fusang Kingdom!"

Listening to the old man in gray clothes, Li Qiufeng saw that he highly respected Yao and Shun, but disdained Yu very much. He thought to himself that this old man had a good point, such as Liu Sheng Zongyan, Morita Kogoro, Liu Shengdan Ma Shou, Mei Da Brother Lang and others all want to seize power and become kings and hegemons. It turns out that these traitors are all imitating the father and son Yu and Qi, which is really resentful.No wonder when the master had nothing to do to tell the story of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, he admired the two kings Yao and Shun, but when he mentioned King Yu, he only briefly mentioned the story of Dayu's water control, and ignored other deeds.Presumably the master disdains Yu for breaking the system of abdication, so he is unwilling to tell his story.

While Li Qiufeng was thinking, the old man in gray went on to say: "After Shang destroyed Zhou, it lasted for hundreds of years, after dozens of kings, and finally passed the throne to King Zhou. This guy is a senseless and stupid king. Calling him Jie Zhou together with King Jie of Xia shows how bad this man is. After King Zhou became the king of the Shang Dynasty, he was licentious and immoral, fished the people, built deer terraces, built wine pools and meat forests, and extorted violently, finally arousing civil uprisings. King Wu of Zhou took the opportunity to attack Chaoge, the capital of Shang. King Zhou was trapped in Lutai. Seeing that he could not escape, he knew that the people hated him to the bone. Once captured alive by the rebels, he was afraid that he would be cramp and skinned by the people. So he set a fire on the deer platform, jumped into the fire and burned himself to death. Although this big villain had a terrible death, he was lucky not to be cut into pieces and quartered.

"The state of Zhou replaced the state of Shang and became the leader of the Central Plains. The state lasted for 900 years. Because of the rise of the vassal states, the rites collapsed and music was destroyed, the king of Zhou lost his authority, and his national power gradually declined. The vassal states persuaded the vassals and kings to submit to the King of Zhou, but the hearts of the princes were not old, and the world was in chaos. Although the sage Kong was the Prime Minister of Lu, he wanted to turn the tide, but it was still useless, and finally offended the King of Lu and the people. Minister, not to mention losing his official position, political enemies will kill him. Confucius had no choice but to lead his disciples to escape from the state of Lu in a hurry. It is said that he almost died at the hands of pursuers several times on the way to escape, and was ignorant The common people are trapped and can't even have a full meal. Great sages like Confucius, after being in a predicament, can only laugh at themselves as a bereaved dog in desperation.

"At that time, the feudal lords of the world were in dispute. Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Mu of Qin, King Zhuang of Chu, and Duke Xiang of Song successively ruled the vassal states, and their prestige was far above that of the king of Zhou. Later, the vassal states attacked and merged with each other, and the small states were constantly being conquered by the big states. In the end, only Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin were left as the seven great powers of the Warring States Period. These are the famous Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. The Seven Kingdoms sometimes form alliances and sometimes turn against each other. The world is in constant turmoil, endless wars, and the people are miserable .Many heroes and people with strange magic rose up, thinking about making a vigorous career in the troubled times. For example, Su Qin, Zhang Yi and other vertical and horizontal people, with their three-inch tongue, roamed among the Qixiong During this time, he was honored as a guest of honor by the princes and kings, and he became a great career in his life. Legalist Han Fei, Mohist Mozi and others held high opinions, convinced the royal family and nobles, and their reputation spread all over the world. But there are still a group of strange people in the world. Not only have extraordinary knowledge, but also are proficient in different arts. They appear and disappear, confuse the royal family and nobles with ever-changing illusions, and win over the poor with the magic of water, and gradually become a force that cannot be underestimated by the court and the people. The leaders are not only masters of martial arts, but also proficient in medical skills. Many people refine golden elixirs and offer them to princes, kings and nobles.

"Later, the state of Qin became stronger and stronger, and destroyed the six states of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, and Wei, and finally unified the world. King Yingzheng of Qin became the co-lord of the world and called himself Qin Shihuang. At that time, the state of Qin was so powerful that it not only occupied the Central Plains, but also With Meng Tian as the general, he led 20 Qin troops to the north to attack the Huns, and sent 60 troops to the south to conquer the barbarians, and collected all the land in the south of the Lingnan into the territory of Qin. Jia Yi, a scholar of the Han Dynasty, once wrote an article called Qin Lun Speaking of Qin Shihuang's achievements in conquering the world, I still remember a few sentences in the article that were even heroic."

The gray-clothed old man paused for a while when he said this, and then he continued: "It is written in the article that as far as the first emperor, the survivors of the sixth life, vigorously pursued their strategies and impoverished the inner world, swallowed for two weeks and perished the princes, acted as the supreme ruler Liuhe, beat and flogged the world, vibrated the world. Taking the land of Baiyue in the south, he thought Guilin and Xiangjun, the king of Baiyue, bowed his head and tied his neck, and appointed his officials. He ordered Meng Tian to build the Great Wall in the north and guard the fence. However, the Xiongnu were more than [-] miles away, and the Hu people did not dare to go south to herd horses, and the soldiers did not dare to bend their bows to complain. It can be seen that Qin Shihuang is majestic and majestic, and no one in the world dares to compete with him.

"But the good times don't last long. As the saying goes, the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant. Qin Shihuang ruled the universe, and there is nothing in the world that can make him fall in love. In his eyes, the majestic palaces, rare treasures, and beauties are nothing more than sandstone tiles." , vulgar fan, not arousing the slightest interest. All he wants to get is immortality, longevity and heaven.

"The Qin State was able to destroy other vassal states, relying on the army of millions of tigers and wolves, and the invincible Qin State army came from the common people of the Qin State. The reason why these common people fought bravely on the battlefield was because Shang Jun established There is a rule of rewarding farming and warfare. The poor people want to have enough food and clothing, either kill the enemy on the battlefield, or increase the grain. According to the system of the Shang monarch, the soldiers of the Qin State only need to kill an enemy soldier, and they will If the head is brought back to the barracks to report meritorious service, the title can be obtained. The family can get an hectare of land, a house, and a slave to drive. The more enemies you kill, the more heads you get. The higher the title, the more fields and slaves you get.

"Your Excellency, you may wish to think about it. Originally, if an ordinary soldier cut off the head of an enemy, there would be so many benefits. He would definitely strive to be the first to kill the enemy in order to get more benefits. Therefore The people of Qin scrambled to be soldiers and eat food. When they heard the news of the expedition, they all cheered and jumped for joy. When they arrived on the battlefield, they were like demons, only thinking of cutting off the enemy's head. How could the soldiers of other princes have such courage? Seeing Qin The soldiers carried the captives in their arms, with their heads hanging from their waists, as if they were terrified when they saw a devil, and they would scatter like birds and beasts as soon as they confronted each other.
