Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 275 Would you rather compete with God? ! (Third update)

Two days later.

An edict from the First Emperor was immediately issued to the world and hung at the four gates of Xianyang City.

Since the appearance of Yinghuo Shouxin, the world has been greatly panicked and fearful. Even when the emperor issued an edict and understood the truth behind it, the world was also shocked.

The order says:
The First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty issued a special edict: I will unite the six kingdoms under one empire, end hundreds of years of wars, stop the wars in the world, wipe out the border wilderness, so that the Chinese ethnic group can survive forever, and replace the vassal system with prefectures and counties, so that the Chinese ethnic group will not be able to survive. Furthermore, civil wars and wars have ceased since then. Roads are built, rivers are dug for defense, territories are expanded, writing is written, weights and measures are established, and so on. In fact, the prosperity of China as a whole comes from the world!
Otherwise.

A few months ago, there was a strange movement in the sky, which confused Shou Xin.

The world continues to dismantle celestial phenomena.

It is said that Yinghuo's law enforcement mission and the disaster implications will inevitably lead to turmoil and disaster in the heart of the world. It is also said that Yinghuo's return to the temple and the appearance of his image are not an immediate disaster, but another profound warning to the world. Rumors All these, coupled with the support of various parties, have led to the rumors that are currently spreading all over the world.

Besides.

There are all kinds of discussions all over Shandong, and various shocking predictions are made from time to time.

However, the country's worries only lie in people's livelihood.

Thousands of years without exception.

When I came to the throne, there was a severe drought year after year, and God took away people's livelihood. What did the people of Qin do?
If the people of Qin want to survive, they would rather not compete with God!

There are endless chaos and weird things happening in the world today. I dare not be negligent. I am determined to work together with thousands of people to fight hard and with the determination to decide the destiny of the country and cultivate human affairs to defeat heaven.

In the winter of the 36th year of the First Emperor of Qin Dynasty.

This edict was like a thunder, spreading rapidly throughout the world, rumbling and shaking in the world.

However, as soon as this edict was issued, Prime Minister Wu Jinliang immediately took several wizards into the palace to meet the First Emperor.

The First Emperor had already expected this and did not stop him, allowing Liang Xianggong and others to enter the palace.

Liang Xianggong was old and faltered, but at this time he was in a high mood and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I can't understand why your Majesty would issue such a lucky and inappropriate edict. If the gods are angered, the Qin Dynasty may face even greater disasters. I request your Majesty to take back the order."

at the same time.

Other wizards echoed.

Ying Zheng looked as usual and said with a slight smile: "My good minister may have a misunderstanding. I am not disrespecting God's will, I just pay more attention to human affairs."

"also."

"I am the emperor, how can I take it back?"

Liang Xianggong said stubbornly: "Your Majesty is wrong. Your Majesty's order is directed to heaven and to all people. He underestimates the will of heaven and emphasizes human affairs. This is contrary to heaven's will. Now that the order has not been sent to the world, your majesty takes it back. I can still go to heaven." I pray that your majesty will be forgiven for his unintentional mistake. If your majesty insists on doing this, he may really anger the gods."

"Da Qin may be in danger by then."

Ying Zheng said calmly: "What the old wizard said is wrong."

"Is it the will of the gods to revitalize the Qin people?"

"No."

"The people of Qin can rejuvenate the country only with the help of the people of Qin."

"When there was a severe drought, all the ministers in the court prayed for sacrifices. What was the final result? Does the old wizard still remember?"

"The anger of heaven and the resentment of people can lead to great disasters."

"There are countless casualties in the world."

"I still remember those rumors to this day."

"The southeast wind has stopped, the quails are crying in the sky, and Taibai has lost his home, shrinking from three to one."

"In Longxi, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and the mountains collapsed, and people died without reckoning. The sky collapsed, and meteorites rained down. The earth cracked, and the earth cracked, and the mountains collapsed, and it was caused by mountain floods and mudslides."

"At that time, these rumors spread throughout the Qin State. Everyone in Old Qin was panicked and had no intention of harvesting crops."

"But what's the truth?"

"There is a severe drought that continues year after year."

"But it's not the earth-shattering that you predicted."

"Even so, I still believe in you. However, there has been a severe drought for two years. Can you get even a little bit of rain for Qin?"

Liang Xianggong and others were speechless for a moment.

Ying Zheng snorted coldly, stood up from the table, and said indifferently: "It was also from that time that I understood one thing. The root cause of the worries for people's livelihood is floods and droughts. For thousands of years, without exception, before a severe drought, It’s understandable that you don’t understand the root cause of worry about the country. After all, things in the world are unpredictable. However, two years have passed since then, and you still don’t understand the root cause of worry. How can you make others aware of it with your own stupor?”

"How can I trust you again?"

"I dare to believe it."

"But thousands of people in the Qin Dynasty cannot wait to die."

"Don't blame me for not respecting God's will. In fact, I am in this position and must consider all people."

“Personnel matters are the most important thing!!!”

Liang Xianggong defended: "The severe drought that year was indeed the fault of the ministers. However, it was not that God's will was wrong, but that the ministers misunderstood God's will. 'Quail's head' refers to the Qin land of Yongzhou, and 'quail's head cries in the sky' naturally refers to the state of Qin." Lao Lin became a disaster, and I did not make any mistakes in dismantling it, but I did not fully understand the subsequent "too white and lost, shrinking from three to one"."

"At that time, I only focused on the land of Qin and did not look at the whole world, so I made a misjudgment."

"The one who collapsed was Zhao Di."

"Qin and Zhao share the same ancestry, so God's will refers to the eruption of mountains and landslides in Zhao's land, and this has proven effective later."

"Your Majesty has any resentment. It's all because of the mistakes of his ministers. It's not God's fault."

"However, it was precisely because of the mistakes in dismantling and God's will that the prayer for rain failed. When I sorted out everything and prayed for rain again, why didn't the sky stop raining?"

"This is the fulfillment of God's will."

"There will be no room for slights."

Hear the words.Ying Zheng smiled coldly.

"Heaven harms people. It doesn't rain. Is it wrong since ancient times?"

"God harms people, and the rain never stops. Isn't this right since ancient times?"

"The Qin Dynasty has been suffering from drought for several years. It was because of my determination to decide the fate of the country that I fought with God for a way out and led millions of Qin people to fight against the flood and drought. This allowed Jingshui to irrigate my fields during autumn planting. As for you and others, The rain I prayed for has already reached the end of autumn, and the fields have been irrigated long ago. There is no difference whether there is sweet rain or not."

"During the period of Gun and Yu, there were great floods from the sky and the state of China was destroyed. Were there ever fewer people praying to the gods at that time?"

"But the heavy rain will stop?"

"Not yet."

"In the end, it was Dayu who led the people to dredge the canals and lead the vast ocean into the sea, and this allowed China to reappear."

"I am not disrespecting God."

"I just want to do more human things while respecting God."

"Indeed."

"God has the virtue of good life."

"But as the emperor, all the people in the world are my subjects. If I only focus on praying to the gods and offering sacrifices, then when the disaster really comes from the sky, won't I just watch all the people waiting to die?"

"The gods need to pray, and the priests need to sacrifice."

"But personnel matters cannot stop."

"I want to establish a disaster prevention and relief system in the world, and go further on the basis of the existing river defense and dredging of rivers, so that when the world suffers a disaster, it will not be left without a master, let alone do nothing. I want to cultivate human resources extensively. To fight for a way out.”

"I know this will have very little effect."

"However, I have been on the throne for more than thirty years and have some experience in managing the world. Floods rely on dredging of rivers, droughts rely on digging wells, insect disasters rely on extermination, and snow disasters rely on clearing snow. There is a limit to what I can do. , I can only do everything related to human affairs, but as for God’s will, I still have to rely on you to communicate.”

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Liang Xiang's face trembled with anger.

finally.

Mr. Liang could only say angrily: "Your Majesty, you are going against the grain and will definitely be punished by heaven. Disaster will befall the Qin Dynasty. Your Majesty, you are harming the Qin Dynasty."

Ying Zheng pretended not to hear what Mr. Liang said.

He waved his hands around and said indifferently: "Mr. Liang is already old. You can send Mr. Liang to rest. From now on, unless I order, no wizards, fortune tellers, sun hunters, star officials, etc. will come to see you." , since they are sincere to heaven, they should be more pious."

“Only to God!!!”

Done.

Ying Zheng suddenly flicked his sleeves.

He signaled the eunuchs around him to send these people out.

He actually didn't want to explain to Mr. Liang and others, but in the end he was still afraid of God's will, so he explained more.

And he actually has a clear conscience.

The reason why Mr. Liang Xianggong dissuaded him was not because he was dissuading him from cultivating human affairs in order to conquer heaven. What they were arguing more about was that cultivating human affairs had not gone through God's will. This move was already a great doubt and denial for sorcerers such as Mr. Liang Xianggong. , they will be panicked.

Ying Zheng raised his head, looked at the white sky, and said coldly: "God's will?"

"Is there really God's will in this world?"

"If there really was God's will, how could there be so many disasters in the world? Great Qin has done so much for the world, how could it be that a single person would come to confuse and guard its heart?"

"And it doesn't matter if it's God's will."

"This time I will compete with God again to see if God's will is better than the human heart!"

A flash of cruelty flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.

He sat back down, opened Li Si's memorial, and looked at it carefully.

the other side.

As soon as the First Emperor's order came out, there was a lot of discussion in Xianyang.

Some people think that the First Emperor's order is disrespectful, while others applaud the order and think that the Qin Dynasty has never believed in God's will, and the reason why the Qin Dynasty unified the world did not rely on God's will, but on the Qin people. Incomparably powerful fighting power, conquering the world is the same, and ruling the world is still the same.

After all, it depends on people.

In particular, the First Emperor's example of the severe drought in the early years impressed many Qin people. At that time, there was a severe drought and there had been no rain for several years. It can be said that the local people had tried all kinds of prayers to the gods for rain, but still no rain was obtained. In the end, it was the First Emperor who overcame all opinions and led the Qin people to pass through the Jingshui River and divert water into the fields, thus barely stopping the drought. However, even so, Qin suffered heavy casualties in those years.

They also had to retreat to Hangu Pass.

However, contrary to the approval of the Qin people, when this order was spread to the world, it caused panic among many people in the six places.

Because Qin disrespects heaven!

a time.

In Kanto, which is already full of rumors, all kinds of rumors and prophecies are endless.

The First Emperor's edict also exceeded many people's expectations.

Be it Confucianists or nobles of the Six Kingdoms, after hearing the First Emperor's order, they became completely inspired and spread a lot of rumors everywhere. The already restless Kanto became increasingly turbulent.

However, despite the rumors spreading all over the world, Qin Ting never responded.

It seemed as if that order was the final notice.

Not long after the order was issued, the disaster prevention and relief system proposed by Li Si came into the eyes of the courtiers.

It also caused quite a stir in the court.
