my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 277 Heart Disease and Divination

Above the main hall, Chu Boliang looked respectful and calm.

He stood with his hands folded, his eyes calm, and his tone unhurried, as if he was narrating a true story that he experienced personally.

"After the man handed the jade bi to the minister, he said that Zulong died this year. The minister was shocked and puzzled at the time, and asked him why. Who knows, the man disappeared suddenly. If the jade bi was not still in the hands of the minister , I almost suspect that what I saw and heard just now is just a dream..."

In Chu Boliang's eyes, a trace of awe was appropriately revealed, as if what he said was still in front of his eyes.

If this kind of story is put in later generations, not to mention the existence of Emperor Shihuang, even ordinary village women may not believe his nonsense.

But this time it was Daqin.

An era in which the theory of witches and ghosts is still prevalent.

Mohists say they understand ghosts, while Confucians say they respect ghosts and gods and keep them at a distance!
Taoist warlocks are even more straightforward, taking alchemy in an attempt to pursue immortality and longevity.

If you have something to ask God for divination, if you are sick, you will ask the witch doctor for help.

Not only the first emperor, but almost everyone in the world believed in the existence of ghosts and gods.They believe that there are gods standing three feet above their heads, and they also believe that these gods, witches and ghosts have powers far beyond the ordinary.

Therefore, when the first emperor crossed the Yangtze River, he threw away the jade pendant he brought with him to suppress the water of the Yangtze River. After his body collapsed, he tirelessly pursued longevity.

Therefore, in the eyes of Zhao Ying, this lie, which was full of flaws, was quite credible in the eyes of Shi Huangdi.

The main reason is the jade pendant, which is so convincing.

At that time, the Yangtze River was full of waves and it was difficult for a big ship to sail, so he threw out the jade pendant to calm the waters.The jade pendant thrown away in such a place, after a few years, someone actually sent it back to him. Apart from being miraculous, how else can he explain this incident?

In such waters, fishing for jade pendants is impossible!
Zhao Ying quickly understood the logic in Emperor Shihuang's mind, so he didn't speak.Although he knows that there are really a lot of equipment in later generations that allow people to dive into the bottom of the water and salvage them carefully.

But in this era, he didn't know how those people did it.

He only knows one thing, talking about ghosts and spirits appearing as spirits is absolutely nonsense.

No, even if there are ghosts and gods, he must be talking nonsense!
The First Emperor remained silent, and Zhao Ying's eyes flickered, looking at the middle-aged man standing in front of him, his voice was flat, and he couldn't hear any emotion.

"At that time, who else was there..."

"Only Weichen..."

There was no change on Chu Boliang's face.

"At that time, Weichen was resting in the post station. He had already fallen asleep. He thought he was dreaming in a trance. It wasn't until he saw the jade pendant in his hand that he realized that what he had experienced was not a dream, so he didn't dare to hide it..."

Watertight.

Obviously, when they decided to implement this step, they had already prepared for various inquiries, so they directly stripped all traces of everyone except this Chu Boliang.

Without others, it cannot be falsified.

This jade pendant from that year is even more convincing.

But Zhao Ying's eyes couldn't help revealing a bit of ridicule, and he confirmed in his heart that this bastard was lying in the first place.He didn't dare to involve too many people, because the more people there were, the easier it would be to go wrong.

They are worried!
Worry about mistakes.

After all, if it is really a warning from the gods, why pretend to be mysterious?

What's more, now that Emperor Shi Huang is on top, and he is the eldest grandson of the emperor, why should he rely on the help of a small envoy?
But Emperor Shihuang was obviously disturbed by this sudden warning from the gods, and in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he was silent for a long time, and then spoke slowly.

"What the mountain ghost knew was not more than a year old..."

Zhao Ying: ...

In the court hall, there was no sound.

Obviously, the first emperor's words were in response to Chu Boliang's prophecy that "the ancestor dragon will die this year".

The reason why Chu Boliang used Chu Boliang to send a token today to bring a warning is because they can only know what will happen in the next year!When Zhao Ying interrupted just now, he actually wanted to interrupt Shi Huangdi's response.

But he didn't expect that Emperor Shi Huang said this in front of the courtiers under the shock of his mind.

Zhao Ying couldn't stop him in time, and he couldn't go up to cover Shi Huang's mouth, so in desperation, he could only stretch out his arm, and yanked Shi Huang's sleeve.Only then did Emperor Shi Huang come to his senses.

Realizing that what he said just now was a bit messed up, and when it spread to the court, he didn't know how many turmoil it would cause among the people, so he shook his sleeves and coughed lightly.

"The so-called dragon ancestors of the mountain ghosts are the ancestors of human beings."

Believe it or not, I believe it myself anyway.

Zulong is the ancestor of human beings!
……

After retiring from the imperial court, Emperor Shi Huang looked at Zhao Ying who was holding his arm, with a complicated look on his face.

"Father was out of control today, if you hadn't secretly reminded me, I'm afraid things would have been even more troublesome..."

Nowadays, there are rumors everywhere in the Great Qin Dynasty, and many places are spreading rumors that the First Emperor is critically ill and unable to handle the government affairs in person, causing people to panic.

Today's conversation in court, when today's conversation is spread, I don't know how many people will take the opportunity to make trouble.

As for the first emperor's quick wit and forced explanation of the ancestor dragon, it is really hard to say how much effect it will have.However, now that things have come to this point, we can only forcefully explain a wave first.

"The problem is not with Eldest Father, but with that Chu Boliang and the people behind him. Their intentions are sinister, and their deeds can be punished—"

Zhao Ying's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

"Even if such things are true, he can wait until he retires from the court and report them to Elder Father in person, but he chose to appear at today's court meeting, and he chose to report in public at today's court hall. His intention is obvious. Ruojie! I just want to use this to shake the hearts of my people..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying was very sincere.

"So, in today's court meeting, it doesn't really matter what Elder Father says. What matters is what they say. As long as they are given a chance to say it, their goal has been achieved..."

The First Emperor was silent for a long time, his eyes gradually turned cold.

He raised the jade pendant, looked at it for a while, and then threw it to Hei who was standing beside him.

"Go—let the people in the Yufu inspect it carefully to see if it is from Zhenjiang..."

Hei bowed to accept the order, turned around and left.

At this moment, Shi Huangdi added in a quiet voice behind him.

"Here's my order to strictly investigate Chu Boliang and all his contacts, family and relatives, and kill them all! Check all the merchants and postmen who came and went from the post station on that day, and kill them all!"

Hei couldn't help but tremble, and turned around to salute.

"promise!"

After finishing speaking, he squeezed the jade pendant with his hands, and strode out without any trace of the faltering oldness of the past.

Zhao Ying: ...

He hesitated to speak several times.

Although Shi Huang's actions were brutal and unreasonable, but this time, he did not want to stop him.Some people want to play tricks and bleed, so let's bleed!

Let's start with Chu Boliang, kill!

Even Zhao Ying himself didn't realize that in less than a year, his style of conduct and human nature have become closer to this era, and he has more and more shadows of Emperor Shihuang.

Under the butcher's knife, there must be innocent souls.

But he couldn't care less.

Because if the first emperor had a heart attack this time, it would be a huge disaster no matter whether Daqin treats himself or the people who have waited so hard to unify the world and the war subsides.

Some people are really damned!
……

Apparently, although it was a matter of talk, this incident still affected the mind of the first emperor. Throughout the morning, the first emperor was in a somewhat depressed mood, and the atmosphere in the apse was also very dull.

There was nothing Zhao Ying could do about it.

This is heart disease!

Not to mention the first emperor, even in later generations, if a fortune teller told you that within three days, there would be bloodshed, you would probably feel a little bit taboo.

What's more, today's events are more or less mysterious.

The origin of that jade pendant is too incomprehensible.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Hei came back from the outside holding the jade pendant with a solemn expression.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, after careful inspection at the Imperial Palace, it was found that this jade disc is indeed the jade disc that His Majesty used to suppress the waters of the Yangtze River when he went on a tour in 28 years..."

The First Emperor was silent for a long time, and then he looked at Zhao Ying beside him.

"Ying'er, do you think there really are ghosts and gods in this world..."

Zhao Ying was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Sure enough, a lie needs countless lies to make up.At the beginning, in order to make the first emperor quit the pill completely, and by the way, he turned his attention to the East China Sea, so he had to borrow Xu Fu's magic stick.

Now, I live in Bengbu.

"Maybe there are—but the great father is a great man, and he fought the survivors of the sixth generation. He leveled the world, encompassed Liuhe, opened up territories, guarded borders, built roads, promoted prefectures and counties, unified writing, unified weights and measures, Its benefits are in the present, and its merits are in the future. Even the Three Emperors and Five Emperors cannot match it. This great merit has its own protection and blessing from God..."

Having said that, Zhao Ying said seriously.

"Therefore, even though there are ghosts and gods, you should respect them and obey the orders of the Great Father..."

At first, Emperor Shihuang was still joking with laughter at the corners of his mouth, but when he heard the end, he straightened his back subconsciously.

"Although there are ghosts and gods, you should obey my orders!"

Back then, if it wasn't for this pride in his heart, how could he have made people cut down all the trees in Xiangshan Mountain in a fit of anger, would have made people throw jade bibs into the Yangtze River, and destroyed the obscenity sacrifices.

If you get my approval, you are the righteous god who can enjoy human sacrifices. If you don’t get my approval, then you are a wild god!

Kill it all.

"good!"

The first emperor looked at his beloved grandson and couldn't help laughing.

"The words of ghosts and gods, what are you afraid of—"

Zhao Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Emperor Shi Huang's spirit had recovered.

"What's more, last year, there were gods from overseas fairy mountains who used the mouth of Immortal Master Xu Fu to reveal the opportunity of the elixir of immortality to Dafu. It's possible that those gods would be wrong..."

When the First Emperor heard this, the gloom hidden in his eyes finally completely dissipated.

The words of the gods can never be wrong!
The words of the mountain ghost may not be credible.

But even so, he still recruited Tai Bu Cheng from the palace and asked him to do divination for it.

Tai Bucheng's name is Ji Yi, he is a gray-bearded old man, nearly eighty years old, in this era, he is already a proper old age, and he walks with a bit of a limp.

It is said that he is a descendant of Jichang, King Wen of Zhou Dynasty. He first-handed the gossip of King Wen, which is quite supernatural.

Won the trust of the first emperor.

Whenever there is a major event, it must be occupied by this Tai Bu Cheng who seems to be quite a bit of a fairy.

"Veteran Ji Yarrow has seen His Majesty—"

Ji Achilles bowed tremblingly, and Emperor Shi Huang waved his hands warmly.

"You don't need to be too polite, I called you here today because I want you to do a divination about the affairs of the court today, to see the good and bad..."

Said, slightly gestured.

Hei at the side immediately held the jade bi and handed it to Ji Achilles.

Ji Xun glanced at the jade bi in front of her, her eyebrows moved slightly, she held the turtle shell in her hand, and bowed to salute.

"promise--"

Although he has been with Xu Negative for a while, this is the first time that Zhao Ying has seen someone do divination. He is very interested to see this white beard and somewhat high-profile Tai Bu Cheng, who is burning incense and praying in a serious manner. , Then knelt down on the seat, took out three more coated copper coins from his body, threw them on the turtle shell quite casually, and scattered them in a whirl.

"Report to Your Majesty, this is the hexagram of wandering..."

Tai Bu Cheng Ji Yaru twirled her snow-white beard, pondered for a long time, and then stood up solemnly to salute.

"What's the point of this—"

The Emperor Shihuang also looked very serious, he looked at the hexagram thrown by Ji Achilles quite seriously.

He is also proficient and easy to understand, and can roughly see the hexagrams, but he is not proficient.

"This hexagram, the Lord migrates, if your Majesty can migrate the people of the world, you will have great luck—"

When Emperor Shi Huang heard this, his face was very happy.

He rewarded the aged old man on the spot, and then turned around and ordered.

"Since the heavens have issued a warning, I should obey the heavens and respond to others, pass on my will, and relocate [-] households to Beihe Yuzhong—"

Having said this, Emperor Shi Huang paused.

"Whoever migrates to the people, each household can be promoted to a rank..."

Yuzhong belongs to the later Lanzhou City, Gansu Province.Located in the central part of Gansu Province, it is adjacent to Qilihe District and Chengguan District in the west, Anding District in Dingxi City in the east, Lintao County in the southwest, Gaolan County in the north, and Baiyin District in Baiyin City across the Yellow River, and Jingyuan County and Huizhou in the northeast. It borders on Ning County.

Of course, it now belongs to Hexi County.

Since it is necessary to relocate the people, why not relocate to the territory of your own grandson?

Zhao Ying didn't expect that he would be able to enjoy a wave of benefits while lying down.

Naturally, he called Li Chen, Xu Zhi, and Zhuo Yi happily, told the first emperor's will, and then added something that was still unfinished.

"You can tell those migrating people that when they enter Hexi, they are the people of Hexi, and they can enjoy the many benefits of Hexi. Fields, houses, land, cattle and sheep, and seeds are all provided by Hexi County—if they contribute to Hexi, or If you know some crafts and are willing to enter the Hexi workshop, you can choose one of your children to go to school..."

The First Emperor couldn't help looking at his eldest grandson with strange eyes.

This benefit -

You are trying to attract all my people to run away, right?
