Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 324 Going to Xianyang alone! (13)

Zhang Liang raised his head.

A decision has been made in my mind.

at this time.

There was a sudden commotion all around.

It turned out that the First Emperor's chariot had arrived in front of the mountain. There was a huge crowd and countless people looked over.

Zhang Liang and He Yao looked at each other and followed the crowds of people.

However, the two of them were a certain distance away from the foot of the mountain, and there were soldiers guarding them outside. Even if they stood on the surrounding rocks, they could only barely see an outline.

However, neither of them cared.

The audience was in awe.

With the appearance of the tall figure of the First Emperor, everyone held their breath and opened their eyes wide, looking at the most ambitious emperor in history. The First Emperor, wearing a crown, walked step by step under the guidance of hundreds of officials. Go to Kuaiji Mountain.

Finally disappeared in front of everyone.

Zhang Liang stood on the rock and looked at it from a distance.

Pay attention to every move of the First Emperor.

When he came, he had already inquired about the situation of Kuaiji Mountain. It is seven miles from the ground to the top of the mountain. It is isolated and dangerous, and the path is dangerous.Pull the radish and kudzu, and then it can rise. There are no tall trees on the mountain, which must be caused by the windy land.

This is a high mountain with a height of more than seven miles and a dangerous path.

Although they could not follow him to the mountain peak, they could roughly see the physical condition of the First Emperor from the situation when he climbed up.

I do not know how long it has been.

With the help of officials, Ying Zheng reached the top of the mountain.

He climbed up and looked up, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Seven miles of land.

It has been very difficult for Ying Zheng.

When no one could see him, he directly helped the officials. Even so, the seven-mile journey took more than two hours. Ying Zheng panted slightly, feeling the wind blowing in front of him, and felt in his heart A surge of pride arose.

What he was looking at was not at the foot of Kuaiji Mountain.

But the world!

This is the world that Ying Zheng built with his own hands.

Near noon, I went to Kuaiji Mountain to offer sacrifices to Dayu, and finally all was completed.

The missionary text written by Li Si was also carved on the boulder.

It's called: "Kuaiji Stone Carving".

The emperor Xiu Lie is a man of peace, virtue and slenderness.Thirty-seven years, personally patrolling the world, looking around and far away.

Then he went to Kuaiji to announce the customs of the province and Zhai Village in Qianshou.The ministers recited their merits, followed the original deeds, and followed the leader's brilliant achievements.

When Qin Sheng came to the country, he began to determine the names of punishments and show his old ministers.At the beginning, the law was established, and the duties were reviewed to establish long-term success.

Later, he respected the Dharma, always governed without limit, and never tipped his boat.I would like to engrave this stone as a tribute to my sincerity.

This article was written by Li Si, but it actually preached the meaning of Yingzheng's sacrifice to Dayu. In addition to stating Dayu's extraordinary achievements in ancient and modern times, the memorial article naturally also mentioned the Qin government and the great achievements of the First Emperor.

To some extent.

This stone carving is more like a political dialogue between Ying Zheng and Dayu.

Therefore, unlike the usual sacrifices, the First Emperor came in person this time in order to have a political dialogue with the founder of Chinese civilization, even if it was in the form of stone carvings.

Simultaneously.

This is also another positive declaration of the purpose of the New Deal by the emperor and his ministers to the people of the world.

And the content of this stone carving is very large.

There has been a comprehensive review of the misgovernment and tyranny of the Six Kingdoms, that is, "the six kings have doubled their power, were greedy, ruthless and fierce, and led the masses to strengthen themselves."He acts violently and recklessly, and is arrogant despite his strength.The yin communicates with the messengers, and the things are coordinated, and the behavior is unique.'

It was also the first time that the cause and purpose of Qin's destruction of the Six Kingdoms was put forward head-on.

That is legitimacy and rationality.

There are deceptions inside, and external invasions on the border, causing disaster.The righteousness and power will be punished, the violent rebellion will be extinguished, and the rebels will be destroyed.

This is not only a clear statement to the people of Shandong, but also a warning to the restoration forces, that is, the six countries are seeking their own destruction, and it is not Qin who has no way.

Naturally, this inscription on stone is also indispensable. It comprehensively reviews and states the virtues and customs of Qin's politics, and lists various good achievements of peace and order in the world. Its overall intention is clear, but it also contains some subtle connotations.

More importantly, this inscription also expresses a point of view.

That is to say, the world is stable and the Qin government will be corrected.

The sacrifice is over.

Ying Zheng was not in a hurry to leave.

He stood on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance.

The north has been stabilized, the Great Wall is about to be completed, and it is generally safe.

Only the three counties of Nanhai, which are connected to Fujian and Vietnam, are remote and have inconvenient transportation. Even if the Yangyue New Road is built, it is still difficult to avoid the difficulty of traveling. Especially the measures shown by Zhao Tuo some time ago are even more difficult. It made Ying Zheng feel dissatisfied.

He clearly realized.

The South China Sea, which originally reassured him the most, was actually more prone to trouble than the north.

However, under the 'non-commissioned officer transfer', many non-commissioned officers in the Nanhai Army were forcibly transferred. This also allowed the court to regain absolute control over the army, but this still made Ying Zheng a little uneasy.

He would never allow the Qin army to cause any trouble.

Zhao Tuo
Ying Zheng's eyes were full of coldness.

Although he was dissatisfied with Zhao Tuo, he would not take action easily.

Especially now that the restoration nobles are fleeing to remote mountains and rivers. If they are not protected, when will Fujian and Yue become a gathering place for the restoration forces? Who knows, will these people flee to the three counties of Nanhai in the future?

If that happens, will the overall situation in the South China Sea still be stable?
Looking towards the South China Sea, Ying Zheng looked serious.

at this moment.

A familiar Qin wind seemed to ring in his ears again. It was the Qin wind that he heard when he went to the South China Sea during his southern tour. It was the Qin wind that floated out from the coconut forest valley in the dusk. The Qin wind was filled with the Qin people's passion. Feeling homesick, when he heard the song Qin Feng, Ying Zheng trembled from the bottom of his heart.

When the tour was over and he just returned to Xianyang, Ying Zheng generously sent 50 people, including tens of thousands of women, to the South China Sea in order to calm the hearts of the Qin people in the South China Sea. However, Hu Hai helped Su go south. See, the effect was not achieved.

It even made these Qin people dissatisfied.

Otherwise, Zhao Tuo and others would not have slowly developed dissatisfaction.

Ying Zheng stopped and looked into the distance.

He softly recalled the Qin Feng he heard back then.

"The reeds are green, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Yiren are on the side of the water."

Before the song "Qin Feng" was finished, Ying Zheng's figure had already disappeared on the top of the mountain. The song "Qin Feng" had long been blown away by the mountain wind. Ying Zheng's body could no longer support him as he walked on. Didn't insist.

twilight.

Ying Zheng was carried down the mountain in turns by the escorting soldiers.

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Zhang Liang and others.

With the sound of horse hooves, the First Emperor's chariot slowly drove away from Kuaiji Mountain.

The crowd that was originally crowded dispersed like a tide. At first, some people tried to climb the mountain to see the sacrifices of the First Emperor, hoping to get a chance to share the First Emperor's luck. However, they were stopped by the surrounding soldiers. .

It was not yet time for them to go up the mountain.

Zhang Liang had no intention of climbing the mountain, and he could roughly guess the content of the sacrifices. They were nothing more than preaching some Qin political concepts and promoting the achievements of the First Emperor, which he had long seen.

I have no interest in mountain climbing.

Zhang Liang was not interested, and He Yao was even less interested.

He was disgusted with everything about Qin Ting. If Zhang Liang had not insisted on coming to take a look, he would not have bothered to come to the foot of Kuaiji Mountain. Now that the sacrifice that attracted people around him to watch was finally over, He Yao was also preparing to leave.However, Zhang Liang did not accompany him again.

see.

He Yao frowned and asked in confusion: "Brother Zifang, do you have other things to do?"

Zhang Liang shook his head, looked at He Yao, and said in a deep voice: "Brother He, when this matter is over, I may have to leave alone."

"Why is this?" He Yao asked.

Zhang Liang said: "I want to go to Xianyang again."

“To meet someone, to verify something, to understand something.”

"We can't do anything right now."

"In the final analysis, we are not familiar with the current Qin Ting, and we don't even know who is plotting it secretly. I want to investigate, know ourselves and the enemy, and be victorious in every battle."

"Qin Ting has made a lot of changes. There have been many changes, so we should also change."

"If we don't make some changes, we may be eaten away by the Qin court step by step. This time it's the nobles of Jiangdong who suffered, but it may be us in the future. If this continues, there will be no hope of Korea's restoration, and there will be no hope of destroying Qin."

He Yuan was silent.

He looked at Zhang Liang with a complicated expression.

But it didn't stop it.

But his eyes were full of worry, He Yao said: "Brother Zifang, Xianyang is different from other places after all, especially now that Qin Ting has changed a lot in the past. If you go to Xianyang, you will be in trouble."

Zhang Liang chuckled and said calmly: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs?"

"Besides, I've been to Xianyang a lot. Going this time is nothing. If I don't figure out the whole thing, I'm really unwilling to do it. So I ask Brother He to forgive me for my suddenness and impulsiveness."

He Yao said: "Brother Zifang is serious."

He Yao also had mixed feelings in her heart when she heard that Zhang Liang was going to Xianyang alone.

It has been nearly 20 years since South Korea was destroyed.

Among the six countries, he was also the first to perish.

In these years, if Zhang Liang had not continued to advocate for South Korea, no one among the nobles in the world would have given them a second glance. Even so, the old nobles in South Korea and those who still have the heart to restore the country have become more and more popular. Come less and less.

In the end.

Han is too close to Guanzhong and too far from Qi and Chu.

And he is getting older, and he can no longer move around in this world for a few years. By then, the hope of restoring Korea will fall entirely on Zhang Liang. This is why Zhang Liang is obviously younger than him, but It was always him who was out and about.

He also wanted to do his part.

However, it is not enough after all.

Their power is too weak and they often have to rely on other nobles. However, the other nobles in Han are now just like the Jiangdong officials in the past. They are ambiguous and only want to please both sides without offending both sides, but that's all. .

Let them take the initiative to participate in the restoration, which is absolutely unacceptable.

He Yao sighed softly.

I also felt a heavy tiredness and weakness in my heart.

20 years?
Has it been 20 years since Korea was destroyed?
When Han fell, he was in his prime, and now he is over fifty.

Time is like a knife.

But it was so brutal that it made people despair.

Can he still wait until the day when South Korea is restored?

see.

Zhang Liang also noticed that something was wrong with He Yao's state, and said quickly: "Brother He, I don't dislike you. It's just that Xianyang is the capital of the Qin State. It's enough for me to go to danger alone. I really don't want Brother He to be in danger as well."

He Yao smiled and said, "I know."

"I just thought that it has been 20 years since South Korea was destroyed."

"In the past 20 years, I have seen too many people change from their original determination to return to the country to hesitation, and finally completely lost their confidence. Only brother Zifang has always been firm. This kind of will and character are the same for my brother. admire."

"I don't have anything to give as a brother."

"I only have some money, so I gave it to the ovary, which is a little bit of my gratitude."

"This is the only thing I can do."

talking.

He Yao took out a few broken gold cakes from his arms.

Zhang Liang showed a hint of hesitation, but seeing He Yao's firm attitude, he reached out to accept it. He said slowly: "Zhang Liang thanked Brother He."

He Yao chuckled and said, "What kind of word of thanks should we talk about between you and me?"

"It's just that after this goodbye, it's all up to you."

"South Korea also depends on you."

Zhang Liang was silent.

How could he not hear He Yao's negativity.

But as He Yan said, South Korea has been destroyed for 20 years.

20 years is enough time to change a lot of things.

There are only a handful of nobles who were originally determined to restore the country, but they are still determined now. There is no one in South Korea to rely on. The few who are there are speculators who do not really want to restore the country at all. It is just for their own benefit in the name of restoring the country.

Think of this.

Zhang Liang also darkened his eyes.

He held these pieces of gold cake tightly in his hands.

He said firmly: "No matter what Qin Ting does, it can't stop us from restoring. This is the general trend of the world and cannot be changed by Qin Ting's conspiracy. And if Qin Ting can scheme, why can't we?"

"I in South Korea really don't have much spare power."

"But this may not be the case for the other five countries. Their anti-Qin aspirations are still high."

"We can use some help."

"The more rampant and arrogant Qin Ting is now, the more it can unite our forces. The combined efforts of the six countries may not be able to stir up the world, and the people's resentment is boiling, which means that we are destined to have great achievements in the future. Brother He, there is no need to belittle yourself. Qin Ting is showing The more public it is and the more positive it is, the more it proves the hollowness within Qin."

"And Brother He also saw it just now."

"The First Emperor's health has long been worse than before. He can't even be helped down the mountain. He can only be carried down the mountain. If the First Emperor dies, then the opportunity I have been waiting for will naturally come, and this day will not be long. of."

He Yuan nodded.

He regained his fighting spirit.

It's just that he still doesn't know something. What on earth is Zhang Liang going to Xianyang for?
He Yao asked: "I still have a question, brother Zifang, what answer are you trying to find when you go to Xianyang this time?"

Zhang Liang was silent.

He hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly: "I don't know either. I just feel that there is something I want to know in Xianyang, but I don't know exactly what it will be like."

"Instead of sitting still, it's better to take the initiative."

"Qin Ting is actively seeking change, so why should we stick to the rules?"

“When it changes, it changes.”

"And if what I guess is true, some things may become simpler. Although I, Zhang Liang, am a scholar, I also have swordsmanship. Maybe my sword can still come in handy."

He Yao took a deep look at Zhang Liang and finally didn't ask any more questions.

The two spoke respectfully to each other.

Then they each walked in the same direction.
