save the bachelors

Chapter 4390 [Imperial Seal]

The next year was the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor's reign.

As recorded in history books, Qin Shihuang died of illness during his fifth eastern tour. After his death, the eunuch Zhao Gao and Prime Minister Li Si kept the death a secret and transported Qin Shihuang's body back to Xianyang. At the same time, they forged Qin Shihuang's will and ordered Crown Prince Fusu, who was supervising the troops outside the palace, to commit suicide. They also supported Hu Hai to succeed to the throne as Qin Ershi.

The inertia of history is so terrifying.

Although Gao Yao did not become Zhao Gao this time, there were other people who became "Zhao Gao".

In fact, there is a magistrate of Shan County named Zhao Gao in the play. He is corrupt and does all kinds of evil things, and he is well versed in the ways of being an official.

If Yi Xiaochuan had not sent Xiang Yu to find out his background and hand over his evidence to Prince Fusu, Zhao Gao's crimes would have been exposed to the world. Zhao Gao would not have been arrested and imprisoned, and he would not have committed suicide in prison out of fear.

In this way, he is likely to climb up the ladder by flattery and bribery and become a real "Zhao Gao".

In fact, the "Zhao Gao" in history was not a eunuch. Because historical records show that Zhao Gao had a son-in-law. If there is a son-in-law, there must be a daughter, and if there is a daughter, then naturally he is not a eunuch.

Soon after Qin II Hu Hai ascended the throne, the Daze Township Uprising broke out across the country. Following the Liu Bang Uprising and the Xiang Yu Uprising, the Central Plains was engulfed in flames of war.

Moreover, on the day when Qin II ascended the throne, the Heshi Bi jade seal used by Qin Shihuang suddenly disappeared without a trace, causing much discussion in the court and the country.

It is said that it was because Qin II Hu Hai obtained the throne by unfair means and was not worthy of the position, so he was not qualified to inherit the throne at all. Therefore, the magic weapon was spiritual and the He Shi Bi escaped on its own.

……

But in fact, the He Shi Bi was taken away by Xiang Nan.

The He Shi Bi in this world does not possess special energy like the He Shi Bi in "The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".

Xiang Nan took it for another purpose.

At this moment, although the world was in chaos, Xiang Nan did not take any action.

The general trend of the world is that after a long period of division, there will be unification, and after a long period of unification, there will be division. The change of ownership of the country is a common occurrence and has nothing to do with him.

He still practiced Taoism in the mountains with Gao Yao, Yu Shu and others.

However, Qin II Hu Hai sent Zhao Gao to Zhongnan Mountain and brought a large number of gifts, hoping to meet Xiang Nan.

On the one hand, Xiang Nan was a god, and Hu Hai also wanted to be a god; on the other hand, Hu Hai's rule was not legitimate, many court officials were dissatisfied, and civil unrest occurred everywhere, causing unrest in the country. Therefore, Hu Hai hoped that Xiang Nan could help him suppress the rebellion and stabilize the country.

Xiang Nan naturally sneered at this and ignored it. However, he still did some things to prepare for the coming new dynasty.

……

Three years later, in 207 BC, Xiang Yu burned his boats and defeated the 400,000-strong Qin army with a small number of troops and a weak force, causing heavy losses to the main force of the Qin army. The Qin Dynasty never recovered from that defeat.

In comparison, the various princes who revolted had gained great prestige, and as a result, the power dynamics had changed, and the fall of the Qin Dynasty was imminent.

Seeing that the country was in such a precarious situation, Zhao Gao decided to go all out and killed Hu Hai in preparation for establishing himself as emperor.

However, although Hu Hai was killed, his plan to establish himself as emperor was met with unanimous opposition from court officials. In the end, Zhao Gao had no choice but to establish Ziying as the new emperor.

Five days after Ziying ascended the throne, he joined forces with his ministers to kill Zhao Gao and his entire family. Afterwards, Ziying wanted to revive the government and organize an army to continue suppressing the rebellion.

However, the rebel forces had become extremely powerful by then. Less than two months after he ascended the throne, Liu Bang had led his army into Xianyang City, and Ziying had no choice but to surrender.

Later, under the pressure of Xiang Yu, Liu Bang withdrew from Xianyang. Xiang Yu entered Xianyang City, killed Ziying and the Qin royal family, and proclaimed himself the King of Western Chu, and named Liu Bang the King of Han.

After Xiang Yu proclaimed himself Overlord, he also led people to Mount Zhongnan to pay homage to Xiang Nan, because as far as he knew, Xiang Nan was the immortal who saved his uncle Xiang Liang from the execution ground and predicted that he would overthrow the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty and achieve great things in the future.

Now he had indeed overthrown the tyrannical Qin and became the famous and powerful King of Western Chu. There were so many vassal states in the world, and none dared to resist him. He had become the new overlord.

That's why he led people to visit Xiang Nan, hoping to express his gratitude to him.

However, Xiang Nan did not meet him, but sent a crane to bring him a bamboo slip with four words written on it: "Arrogant soldiers will be defeated."

After reading this letter, Xiang Yu became furious, thinking that Xiang Nan's words were an insult and curse to him.

So he left with his men cursing.

Xiang Nan sighed when he saw this.

……

Afterwards, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought for the throne again, sparking the Chu-Han Contention.

Four years later, in 203 AD, Xiang Yu was ambushed from all sides and committed suicide by slashing his throat at the Wujiang River with Yu Ji. Liu Bang then won the world.

Xiang Nan knew that Xiang Yu committed suicide by slashing his throat at the Wujiang River, but he did not offer a helping hand.

On the one hand, there are so many tragic heroes in history, each with his own regrets, how many of them could he save; on the other hand, even if he could save Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu probably would not want to live.

  Because all the Jiangdong young men he led to fight for the world are dead, how can he face returning to Jiangdong?

If Xiang Nan really wanted to save him, he had to revive all the Jiangdong men and help Xiang Yu conquer the country. Otherwise, when Xiang Yu was defeated by Liu Bang again, he would have to die again.

Xiang Nan was not his summoned beast, so of course he was unwilling to do such a thing. Besides, he was not Yi Xiaochuan, who was a sworn brother to Xiang Yu and had tricked him several times. It was natural that he felt bad knowing that Xiang Yu had committed suicide at Wujiang.

Xiang Nan had almost nothing to do with Xiang Yu, except that he had saved Xiang Yu and his uncle Xiang Liang when he first came here. Later, he also reminded Xiang Yu that "arrogance leads to failure", but Xiang Yu still made the same mistake and became arrogant and conceited.

Xiang Nan has done his best for him and has no obligation to be responsible for his failure.

……

Liu Bang then held a grand ceremony to offer sacrifices to the throne in Xianyang and proclaimed himself emperor.

And at his sacrificial ceremony, Xiang Nan flew into the Xianyang Palace on a crane and handed over Qin Shihuang's Heshi Bi to Liu Bang in front of all the civil and military officials and Queen Lu Zhi.

"Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, forged an imperial edict to kill his brother and plotted to seize the throne. He gained the country in an illegitimate way and his virtue was not worthy of the position. The artifact was spiritual and escaped on its own, and I got it." Xiang Nan said loudly, "Now that the son of the Red Emperor has succeeded to the throne and established a new dynasty, the world is at peace, and the artifact will return.

I hope you can learn from the lesson of the fall of the third Qin Dynasty, and practice more benevolent governance and do more good deeds, so that the world can be stable and peaceful for a long time. Otherwise, the lesson is not far away, so think carefully. "

When Liu Bang saw Xiang Nan falling from the sky, he was also surprised.

But he was smart. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Xiang Nan, saying, "I will obey the command of the Immortal. Please report to the Heaven on my behalf. I will definitely implement benevolent policies, do good deeds, reduce taxes, and lighten corvée labor to repay the Heaven's kindness!"

Xiang Nan nodded, "I hope you will do what you say."

After saying that, he jumped onto the crane.

The crane uttered a beautiful cry, then flapped its wings and flew up. It circled twice in the sky and then disappeared into the darkness.

"Oh my God~" Everyone present was shocked.

They had always heard about the existence of gods, but in the end, they had heard more about them than seen them with their own eyes. So everyone was skeptical about whether gods existed or not.

Now that they had seen the gods descend to earth with their own eyes, how could they not be shocked and amazed.
