Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 259: First Emperor, do you think there are gods in the world? (Please subscribe)
Twilight falls.

The cold wind was blowing hard, and Ying Zheng was wandering in the only Poplar euphratica forest in the imperial city. For the first time, he felt a chill creeping up his spine and seeping into his heart and spleen.

Staring at the waning moon in the sky, Ying Zheng's heart palpitated violently, and fierce murderous intent emerged in his eyes, "It's important to keep things secret, and if you don't keep things secret, you will be at your own peril. If you act quickly, it's important to do it slowly. If you do it slowly, others will come first."

"Yinghuo guards the heart."

"Add these two prophecies from Kanto."

"It will cause great shock to the world of Da Qin. People are panicked and worried. I don't know how many little snakes and rats have been trying to disrupt the situation in the world. If we continue to let it go, the world will be uneasy."

"perhaps."

"They should all be killed!"

Ying Zheng had a ferocious look on his face.

He already regretted that he did not agree with Li Si and Dun Ruo's suggestion when he was in the temple and kill those who knew the two prophecies. Even if someone would know about it in the future, it would still serve as a deterrent.

a time.

There was a trace of struggle in Ying Zheng's eyes.

He was hesitating whether to order the killing.

There was silence for a while.

He also made a complete decision.

When to kill! ! !

Because he thought of one thing. If Ji Heng hadn't reminded him that he had stopped using gold, stone and medicine early and paid more attention to his physical health, he might have died in the next year or two as the prophecy said.

Once he dies midway, can Fusu really be able to carry the world?
All of this is clearly someone plotting against him secretly, intending to bring disaster to the Qin Dynasty. At present, just Yinghuo Shouxin has caused people in the court to panic, officials are worried, and the city of Xianyang is even more panic-stricken. When other prophecies spread throughout the world, This had a great impact on Da Qin's rule.

He has to do something.

It's just that he really couldn't think of what he could do or what he should do at the moment. The only thing he could think of was killing.

Kill all those who know the truth.

Just when Ying Zheng made up his mind, the eunuch beside him said softly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Hu Hai is outside asking for a visit. He said that he is worried about your majesty's health and wants to see him."

heard.

Ying Zheng felt warm in his heart.

He said calmly: "Let him come over."

soon.

Hu Hai arrived in front of Ying Zheng.

Hu Hai said quickly: "My son, Hu Hai, is here to see my father."

"Father is healthy."

Ying Zheng looked at Hu Hai and said calmly: "It's getting late, why did you come to me?"

Hu Hai curled his lips and said with a gloomy look: "I have heard some rumors in the past few days, and I even asked the Japanese in the palace to inquire about it. However, I think these people's dismantling is ridiculous. I, Da Qin, have done this for the world. How could God punish Da Qin for such a feat? It was clearly dismantled by these witches and Japanese people at will."

"My son, I ask my father to punish these people."

Ying Zheng burst into laughter and said: "Punishment? Is there anything to punish? They believe in heaven and stars, and among hundreds of scholars, there is the Yin and Yang family. Is it because they said something bad about Da Qin? I Are you going to punish them?"

"If this is the case, does anyone dare to tell me the truth?"

Hu Hai said: "I don't have this intention."

"Erchen just thought that these people were making alarmist remarks, but what made Erchen a little strange was that when Erchen told Ji Heng about this matter, Ji Heng was not interested in it at all. What made Erchen even more surprised was that Ji Heng The down-and-out nobleman is actually very knowledgeable about the heavenly astrology, and even knows the origin of Yinghuo Shouxin."

"only."

"This time I asked Ji Heng to give me a solution, but he kept evading, saying that the decision-making power was in the hands of my father. He also kept telling me that it depends on whether you believe it or not, father."

"My son, I didn't understand."

"I asked him several times later, but Ji Heng refused to say anything more."

"My son believes that Ji Heng must know something. It may even be a conspiracy created by the nobles of the Six Kingdoms to try to bring trouble to our country, the Qin Dynasty. My son wants my father to give an order to kill the remaining remnants of the Six Kingdoms."

heard.

Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

He looked at Hu Hai seriously and asked: "You said Ji Heng knew Ying Huo Shouxin very well? Even knew it like the back of his hand? Could he have known that this would happen?"

Hu Hai was taken aback.

He scratched his head and his voice weakened.

Hu Hai whispered: "It's strange that I have this feeling. Ji Heng seems to have known this for a long time. However, I don't understand the celestial phenomena and I don't understand it either. But Ji Heng knows that Yinghuo is determined to keep his heart." There is a problem.”

at this point.

Hu Hai was very sure.

The heavenly astrology has always been controlled by a few people in the past.

Even in the later Zhou Dynasty, "the emperor lost his official position and learned in the barbarians", the relevant content was left to the local area, and then derived schools such as the Yin and Yang family, but these schools were eventually accepted by the princes of the world, which is equivalent to being left outside. , just walked around in a circle outside, and then gathered again in the major courts.

Now the outside world does know about Yinghuo Shouxin.

But I just know that as soon as this celestial phenomenon occurs, God will bring disaster.

I don't know the specific situation.

Ji Heng, however, knew the celestial situation very well, which was not what he should have done anyway.

Ying Zheng ignored Hu Hai's explanation and continued: "You said the key to what Ji Heng said about this matter is whether I believe it or not? Did he really say that?"

Hu Hai nodded repeatedly and said: "It's absolutely true."

"How dare I lie about such a big matter?"

Ying Zheng closed his eyes slightly.

He also realized something was wrong.

Is this Yinghuo Shouxin really man-made?But on second thought, Ying Zheng shook his head and gave up the idea. If someone could really create such a celestial phenomenon in the world, what would it have to do with the gods?

This is absolutely impossible.

It's not man-made, and Ji Heng's reaction is a little abnormal. Does he really know about this?
Or, as Hu Hai said, is this someone taking advantage of the opportunity to plot?

Just is it really possible?

Is there really anyone in the world who can know in advance that Yinghuo Shouxin will happen, and then make plans in advance and take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble?

immediately.

Ying Zheng laughed.

He waved his hand and said, "I understand. The weather has been cold recently and it's getting late. You should go back and rest early. I still have some political matters to deal with, so I'll leave first."

Done.

Ying Zheng left with his hands behind his back.

Hu Hai did not dare to dissuade him, so he bowed and watched the First Emperor go away.

However, Ying Zheng did not return to Xianyang Palace, but directly asked the eunuchs to prepare carriages and horses.

He is going out of town.

He understood what Hu Hai said.

There may be something fishy about this matter.

But only Ji Heng knew what was wrong, and Ji Heng even named him by name. If he wanted to go, he should go to see Ji Heng outside the city in person.

Simultaneously.

He was also curious.

What does Ji Heng know?

How much does he know about this celestial phenomenon and prophecy, and what countermeasures he has.

The middle of winter.Heavy snow has fallen in the city.

But compared to his initial heaviness, Ying Zheng's mood was obviously much more relaxed.

Stepping on Xu Xinxue, Ying Zheng entered Ji Heng's courtyard.

It was snowing heavily outside.

Ying Zheng and Ji Heng sat across from each other around a large stove with red firewood. However, compared to Ying Zheng's stern look, Ji Heng was obviously more relaxed, and even sipped the warm yellow wine with great interest. Rice wine, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

ponder for a moment.

Ying Zheng said indifferently: "I'm here."

Ji Heng put down the yellow rice wine in his hand and nodded: "No hurry, let's talk about other things first. These young masters of yours have become a little too familiar in the past few months and have broken the rules. I won't accept them anymore." A lot of fair trade.”

heard.

Ying Zheng teased: "Are you collecting debt from me?"

Ji Heng smiled and said: "It's understandable. After all, I'm just running a small business. How can I afford to take it for nothing?"

"A small business operation?" Ying Zheng said with a strange look on his face, "Selling to the emperor's family is considered a small business operation?"

"What about the emperor's family? What about the ordinary people's family? In my eyes, there is not much difference, it's just that the people are different." Ji Heng shook his head lightly.

Ying Zheng looked at Ji Heng deeply, finally nodded and said, "I will send someone to deliver it."

immediately.

Ying Zheng asked: "Are you so sure that I will come to you?"

Ji Heng nodded, shook his head, and said calmly: "Not sure, just somewhat certain. In the current chaotic and uncertain situation in the world, even if you are the emperor, you still need to hear more voices. And although I, Ji Heng, am not as good as the court ministers, I still have some humble opinions of my own, so I am not immune to your gaze."

Ying Zheng snorted coldly and had no comment.

He said coldly: "How much do you know about Yinghuo Shouxin?"

Ji Heng chuckled lightly and did not answer directly. He just shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter how much I know. Even if I don't know, it doesn't matter. The important thing has never been me, but you."

"Your Majesty has murderous intentions!"

Ying Zheng's eyes turned cold and he finally nodded.

He said solemnly: "In the past few months, in addition to the well-known Yinghuo Shouxin, a meteorite prophecy also occurred in Huandong County, and a Jiangshen prophecy also occurred on the road near Huayin County. These prophecies are incomparable. Every exception is a warning that the Qin world will fall into chaos."

"Right now these two incidents have not been widely publicized."

"But you can't hide it for long."

heard.

Ji Heng's heart moved.

But he didn't know that these two things had happened.

But according to the history that I know well, the time difference is indeed not too long, and if someone knows about Ying Huo Shou Xin early, he will find out that it is normal to make some arrangements in advance and eventually cause a big panic.

Ji Heng took a sip of yellow rice wine and asked, "What do you think of these two prophecies?"

Ying Zheng frowned.

He sneered: "It's just some dirty tricks to incite people's hearts and minds."

"But how much do you know about this?!"

Ying Zheng stared at Ji Heng with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through Ji Heng.

A smile appeared on Ji Heng's lips, and he said with a relaxed expression: "If I say that I don't know anything about this, will Your Majesty believe it? But even if I don't know about this, I can actually guess a thing or two."

"And these prophecies are actually not important at all."

"At best, it's adding insult to injury."

"If I were standing on the opposite side of Qin, I would probably do the same tricks. After all, if I could cause panic in the world and instability in the court, wouldn't that please people?"

"It's just that your Majesty is interested."

Ying Zheng was silent.

How could he not be interested?
Ji Heng sighed and said: "This is normal. After all, there is a vision of disaster coming from the sky. Even the calmest person may feel frightened. Naturally, he will be a little less calm and less calm than usual. thinking."

Ji Heng shook his head.

As Ying Zheng said, the so-called prophecies are just the aristocrats of the six countries borrowing the mysterious science of yin and yang to pretend to be gods in the dark. As long as you really calm down, you can easily find the clues, but under the influence of Ying Huo Shou Xin, you can always stay calm. Calm ones are destined to be in the minority, especially those in the middle of this whirlpool.

It was very difficult for Ying Zheng to stay calm.

heard.

Ying Zheng frowned.

He thought for a moment and was thoughtful.

His face was just slightly livid.

The meteorite prophecy was already ridiculous, and the so-called Jiang Shen prophecy was equally ridiculous. But when he first heard about it, he was a little horrified, because the jade was indeed something he had lost.

But now think about it carefully.

Only then did he suddenly realize the ridiculousness of it.

He has been exposed to too many things in his life, and there are countless things that he has ignored or forgotten. It is just a piece of jade. He has countless such things in his life. At that time, he actually found a piece of jade after losing it. And panicked?
Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.

After all, caring will lead to chaos.

If it weren't for Ying Huo Shou Xin's troubles, how could he be disturbed by such events?I even really believed it, but in the end I kept my head, but thinking back on it, I felt a little annoyed.

see.

Ji Heng chuckled.

He could tell that Ying Zheng had thought clearly.

"What do you mean? Do you want to see my joke?" Ying Zheng said coldly.

Ji Heng laughed loudly, waved his hand and said: "How can I see your joke, Shi Huang? I just want to teach Shi Huang that you understand that whether it is a meteorite prophecy or the so-called Jiang Shen prophecy, it is all caused by the human heart. "

"That's right."

"If you don't have a wave-breaking hand, how can you get the Lilong jaw pearl?"

"How can the peepers hiding in the dark dare to come to the stage without disrupting the situation in the world?"

"Now that your Majesty has clearly seen the truth of the so-called prophecy, there is only one thing that is troubling your Majesty now, and that is the 'Yinghuo Shouxin' that is spreading in the city and various dismantlings are going on."

"It's just that compared to explaining your doubts to the First Emperor, I'm more concerned about another thing."

"What's the matter?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.

Ji Heng's eyes became serious after a long time, and he seemed to take the next words very seriously. He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, do you believe that there is really a so-called punishment from heaven in the world? Or, Your Majesty, do you think there are gods in the world?"

A word fell.

All around became quiet in an instant.

Ying Zheng's face became extremely solemn. He looked at Ji Heng deeply, but did not respond for a long time, as if he did not dare to respond directly. However, Ji Heng refused to give up and stared straight at Ying Zheng. , seemed to force the First Emperor to respond.

finally.

Ying Zheng still did not answer directly, but said calmly: "Is there any difference between whether I believe it or not?"

Ji Heng shook his head and said firmly: "Yes."

"And the difference is huge."

"It's even related to the future direction of Da Qin."

Ying Zheng lowered his head, his eyes were a little wandering, and he said with a complicated expression: "What if I believe it."

this time.

It was Ji Heng's turn to be silent.
