My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 598 What you don’t know

Liu Ji faced the wind and snow and embarked on the road home.

Fusu also had to adjust his attitude towards Liu Ji because of what he had done so far.

In particular, the more Liu Ji behaves like his former self, the more complicated Fusu's attitude towards him becomes.

Everyone only pays attention to Peigong Liu Bang after the Peixian uprising, but little is known about Liu Ji, who once served as the pavilion chief in Peixian.

When he was young, Liu Ji could be described as a great man who valued love and justice.

He is completely different from the bastard who kicked his children off their horses and pissed on Confucianism’s head in the later period.

What led to the huge change in Liu Ji's character and behavior was driven by Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng and his wife Lu Fei.
-
When Liu Ji was young, he was a well-known figure from all over the country.

It is said that his birth was legendary. His father was called Liu Taigong by the local people, and his mother was called Liu Yu.

In her early years, Liu Yu was resting on the shore of a large lake next to her home, and met the water god in her dream. At that time, there was lightning and thunder, and the sky was dark. When the grandfather went to check, he found a dragon lying on Liu Yu's body. Soon she became pregnant and gave birth to Liu Ji.

When you sort out the relationships between each of the legendary historical figures in the past, you will find that these people seem to be inextricably related to Qin Shihuang.

The golden dragon in the sky began to cheer, as if celebrating something. This phenomenon lasted for three days before the golden dragon flew away from Li's house.

Therefore, in the world at that time, Ying Zheng's prestige was almost unimaginable.

This is mainly to weaken the local strength and attract the feelings of the Six Kingdoms and Qin.

What Fusu cares about most is what Liu Ji left in history.

Therefore, the time Liu Ji met Ying Zheng in Qin State's Xianyang Palace was actually the second time.

As for Liu Ji, his mother dreamed of having sex with a dragon and then gave birth to Liu Ji. In the pre-Qin era, the belief in ghosts and gods was still strong in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, so Liu Ji was regarded as a different child at home by his parents.

Compared with those famous battles, key meetings, famous alliances, and major events, these figures who made history, the small events triggered by their encounter at a certain time and space node did not fundamentally affect history, but they always It makes people fall into infinite reverie.

Zhang Er and Chen Yu did something treacherous and unethical in the later period. Five years after Qin Shihuang unified the world, they were suddenly ordered to be killed by Ying Zheng himself. After that, the two men began to sneak into the Qin State, pretending to be arresting fugitives, changed their names, and hunted down two people named "Chen Yu" and "Zhang Er".

When he was in his prime, Liu Ji passed the exam and became an official. When he was the chief of the pavilion in Sishui, all the minor officials in the pavilion were bullied by him. Liu Ji was such a local snake.

This created the classic scene where Liu Ji, who was only three years younger than Ying Zheng, met Qin Shi Huangdi for the first time.

After Li Shimin was born, the golden dragon began to emit golden light. In the cold winter, the earth began to become as warm as spring, and the flowers in the courtyard bloomed, exuding a charming fragrance.

Compared with the drunken rants of Jixia scholars like him, this sentence is the most fatal!
"This Liu Ji, he has the ambition of an emperor. But from now on, there can only be one emperor in the world!"

At that time, Liu Ji thought it was an ordinary thing. Looking back twenty years later, he could only sigh with emotion. Because his destiny began to change dramatically.

Liu Ji sighed and said, "Oh, this is what a real man should be like!"

The villagers in Peixian County think that Liu Ji likes to pretend to be rich, but in fact his family does not have much money. This is also the reason why he could not marry until he met Lu Gong at the age of thirty-three.

It is not surprising that the historical prince Fusu committed suicide after receiving the imperial edict. He knew clearly that there were ghosts, and he even knew where they came from, but could he defeat the unprecedented prestige that Ying Zheng had established at the time?

As for the tattoo, the legal provision that he was sentenced to be a believer to build the tomb of Qin Shihuang was definitely stamped with the national seal by Ying Zheng. After all, Ying Zheng at that time was widely rumored by outsiders as the broad-minded Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng was so confident that he had to decide all matters big and small by himself.

Liu Ji saw Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng driving a gorgeous bronze carriage passing on the wide road, accompanied by carriages and horses in front and behind, covering three streets.

This is the most interesting part of history.

As a young man, Liu Ji wanted to start a career on his own. He once led a horse alone through the swampy and cloudy Yunmengze to follow Lord Xinling. However, unfortunately, he was informed on the way that Lord Xinling was dead. So he returned home again.

If he doesn't want to farm and live a good life, forget it, but he doesn't want to study hard and become a scholar. It means three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. In the eyes of outsiders, this kind of person is extremely worthless. In the eyes of his family, Liu Ji's behavior was very disgusting.

When Ying Zheng was alive, the people from all walks of life who were extremely arrogant during the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony in history were as well-behaved as chickens, swallowing their anger. When Ying Zheng died, these people all started to jump.

In the days that followed, he began to chase his dreams again and determined to become an extraordinary man. He went to follow Chen Yu again, but he failed to achieve any great achievements.

He often has lofty ambitions and is unwilling to engage in the productive work of ordinary people. Therefore, he was often scolded by his father, who believed that he was indolent and would have no future.

Closer to home, when Liu Ji was serving as a corvee, he happened to meet the First Emperor Ying Zheng on a trip. It should have been a casual parade on the streets. Ying Zheng allowed passers-by to watch as they pleased.

When Liu Ji was in his prime, probably his favorite thing was to go to a wine shop and drink free wine!

Even with Meng Tian here, Fusu couldn't mobilize his troops at all!
But now, Fusu doesn't have to worry about this problem. That is to say, rebelling against your father is something you have to plan from a young age. It will be too late when you grow up.

If Zhang Cang hadn't been pulled back by Fusu, he would have become an anti-Qin boy.

Liu Ji also went to Xianyang with his fellow villagers to serve in corvee service.

Not to mention Zhang Liang. When assassinating Qin in Bolangsha, young man Zhiqi met the real dragon emperor. Zhang Liang failed, but Qin Shihuang searched the world for ten days without success. Who is better? ?
And history is created by these people who are not afraid of death.

If he doesn't follow the family's production duties, his brother and sister-in-law will naturally not tolerate him.

From the time when Qin destroyed the six kingdoms to when Qin unified the world, all those who would overthrow and overthrow Qin in the future, including Zhang Liang, Liu Ji, Xiang Yu, Zhang Cang, Qing Bu, Zhang Er, and Chen Yu, almost all of them suffered violence from Qin. Rule, and Liu Ji and Zhang Cang all had the most direct connection with Qin Shihuang.

At the beginning, Liu Ji was said to be "kind and loving, fond of charity and broad-minded". '

However, Liu Ji, who was born with visions, has always been inseparable from the dragon, an animal in the Chinese zodiac, throughout his life.

Because he likes drinking and beauty, but the money he earns goes in with his left hand and goes out with his right hand because of his charity, so he often goes to Wu Fu and Wang La's wine shop and can only drink on credit.

Every time Liu Ji stayed in a wine shop to drink, the number of people buying wine would increase, and the number of wine sold would be several times the usual amount. When they saw the strange phenomenon of a dragon appearing, at the end of the year, the two families broke off the accounting slips and stopped asking Gaozu for debts.

At that time, Liu Ji was almost seventeen years old.

Liu Ji got drunk and went to bed. Wu Fu and Wang Yu saw dragons hovering above Gaozu and felt strange.

This kind of extraordinary birth is almost the hallmark of many emperors in history. When Li Shimin was about to be born, a phantom appeared in the sky, and two golden dragons vaguely appeared outside the Li family's courtyard, and finally landed on the Li family's house. Li Shimin was born at that time.

When the Wei State was destroyed, Liu Ji's age was already over 18 years old. However, according to the rules of the Qin State, every household had to send a male to serve as corvee.

After that, there is the story of Liu Ji returning home and meeting his first wife Lu Fei.

But because of Fusu's series of actions, the fates of Liu Ji and Lu Pheasant were changed.

One became his minister, and the other became his concubine.

To be honest, this kind of change that allows the original couple in history to be his right-hand man is naturally very refreshing.

However, many people don't know that Lu Pheasant and Liu Ji were actually the best people in the world at that time, and their emotional life was also very harmonious at the beginning.

Fusu's dilemma is whether Liu Ji and Lu Fei will change in the future.

After all, it is history. These two people behaved in a way that made the surrounding couples feel jealous, and also made future generations feel that the couple's original love and concubine later turned into incompatible and incompatible power.

Power can bring about earth-shaking changes in a person's character.

After Liu Ji and Lu Pheasant got married, Liu Ji, as the pavilion chief, often went home during work days.

In other words, Liu Ji, the young master from a landlord's family who didn't like doing farm work at all, often ran home to help his mother's third son with work after he had a wife and children. It can be seen that Liu Ji and Lu Fei had a good relationship as a couple at that time!

After Liu Ji got married and started a business, he began to be honest, live a peaceful life, assume the responsibility of the head of the family, and take good care of his wife and children.

Perhaps in history, before Liu Ying died, what she recalled in her mind was the way her parents got along when they were young.

His father, Liu Ji, came back from his official post at every turn, walked into the rice fields that covered most of his body, and crossed the ridges to look for his wife and children on his own land. His father took over his mother's hoe and couldn't put it down when he saw him. He hugged him fiercely. A kiss on the lips...

But history is so sad...

Qin Shihuang did not seek immortality, which led to the world's heroes becoming leaderless and no one could suppress him, so his parents rebelled.

If Liu Ying's parents had not rebelled, their family might have lived such a happy and peaceful life, and his father would not have changed as a different person, kicking him off the carriage at the moment of life and death, and thinking about abolishing his reform. Establish Liu Chang.

Now, Liu Ying no longer has to have such troubles. His life of sweetness first and then bitterness, and his despair when his blood and family ties were cut off by his parents before his death, will no longer appear.

Because he didn't need to be born at all.

As for the young Lu Pheasant, his image is almost the same as the image of Lu Su in the time-travel drama "Myth" two thousand years later.

Many people are criticizing Lu Pheasant in history, which is actually unfair. It was that cruel and ruthless era that created such a strong man as the first mother of the country. No one remembers Lu Pheasant's good governance, but she was criticized by many people for her immoral things.

But when she was young, Lu Pheasant was actually a very kind and beautiful girl, no, a young woman!

When Lu Pheasant was weeding in the fields with her two children, an old man passed by and asked for some water. When Empress Lu saw him, she not only gave him water, but also gave him food to eat.

The old man saw that Queen Lu was kind-hearted, so he showed him his face.

After reading it, he said to Lu Pheasant: "Madam is the noblest person in the world."

Lu Pheasant asked him to see his son. When he saw Liu Ying, he said, "Madam, the reason why you are noble is this man."

At the time, I thought this was a weird thing to say, but later I took a closer look and found that it really was just that. If Liu Ying hadn't died, where would Lu Pheasant's authoritarian era have come from?

The little stories of this couple when they were young all reveal their kindness and their extraordinary characteristics in the future.

Ying Zheng was the main leader of the anti-Qin forces in the early stage and was in an absolutely overwhelming position, but he secretly helped Liu Ji.

In the last few years of Great Qin's history, something was wrong with Ying Zheng.

While he was cultivating immortality, he was very superstitious about the results of divination.

"Hu who forgets the Qin Dynasty" originally came from the divination result that Ying Zheng found for him by a fortune teller. When Ying Zheng saw this assertion, he only knew how to look at the map, not the names of his sons on his own family tree.

Those who forget Qin are Hu, and those who are Hu are Hu Hai. This is proven by history.

But Ying Zheng was looking at the map and thought that the Qin State would be destroyed by the Hu people, so he went north to attack the Xiongnu!
But in a sense, after Ying Zheng did this, he did lead to the destruction of Qin. Just because he started to use troops against the barbarians again, exacerbating the people's dire situation, everyone began to hate him.

What followed was a series of things that Ying Zheng was superstitious about the alchemists and did.

What determines people's behavior must be their thoughts. How Ying Zheng thinks about things will be how he does them. After he placed too much faith in metaphysical predictions such as divination, it led him directly to a dead end.

Each of these fatal and accurate prophecies came true. Of course, during this period, Ying Zheng also did many ridiculous things according to the instructions of spiritual science, such as building Afang Palace.

The construction of Afang Palace was not for the legendary beauty Abang, but for another means of realizing one's own immortality. People at that time believed in the connection between heaven and earth.

Changes in the stars in the sky often correspond to major events in the world.

In order to escape death, Ying Zheng did more than just seek immortality in the East China Sea.

In the later period, Ying Zheng almost fell into madness.

In order to live forever, Ying Zheng went to build Afang Palace.

The initial construction of Epang Palace was planned according to the symbolic meaning and position of the stars in the sky. By arranging the palaces on the ground in one-to-one correspondence with the stars in the sky, this was used to seek shelter for Ying Zheng.

But the sky is so vast, and the stars that determine the fate of emperors and countries, such as the North Star, are surrounded by countless stars.

This is destined to be a very large scale palace, and the adjacent positions between each one are arranged according to the position of the stars in the sky.

As for this palace, the key to allowing Ying Zheng to hide in and avoid the laws of heaven from now on lies in the two doors.

At that time, the sorcerer told Ying Zheng that he would build two gates in front of the Abang Palace. As long as these two gates were connected, Ying Zheng would be free from the constraints of heaven. This was equivalent to a blind trick. Let the sky think that Ying Zheng is gone, so that you can deceive the gods in the sky, and then you can live forever.

Then a strange thing happened. Thunder and fire suddenly broke out and burned the two doors.

There is no way to verify whether what the warlock said is true, because the palace was never built for various reasons.

But in order to seek immortality, seek immortality, and avoid death, Ying Zheng was truly crazy in the eyes of everyone.

Ying Zheng planned to build a palace and deceive the inspection of ghosts and gods by planting elephants on the ground, so as to avoid the rules of life and death in heaven.

Don’t forget, when the Mo family entered the Qin Dynasty, Mozi believed that ghosts and gods have their own functions, punishing evil and promoting good in people’s cultivation. I am afraid that this kind of thinking has created a great influence on the people of Qin State, which means that the people of Qin State adhere to the principle of "looking up to the gods" and being honest and honest. It also has a great influence on Ying Zheng.

But in order to live forever, what Ying Zheng did is very absurd in the eyes of the world!

However, the information Ying Zheng received was contrary to the people's.

At that time, there were many outstanding people in the world who were able to escape the end of their own life and death through cloth elephants and extend their lives, but no emperor had ever made such an attempt.

Peng Zu's longevity of eight hundred years is not necessarily a lie. Zhuang Zhou had a dream. It was Zhuang Zhou who discovered whether life was a dream, or the world thought Zhuang Zhou was dreaming.

Whether people can escape the cycle of life and death through some means is not something that outsiders can evaluate.

After all, humans are physical animals, and they won’t believe it unless they see it with their own eyes. But if you don't see something, you shouldn't conclude that it doesn't exist.

Chisongzi at that time was the person Fusu invited to this gathering of scholars. He was a real person in the Warring States Period and even the early Han Dynasty. Its long lifespan would be incredible if it were to be verified!

However, as an emperor, Ying Zheng sought immortality and immortality, which was extremely absurd in the minds of the people.

But Ying Zheng braved the disapproval of the world and persisted in making these attempts regardless of what the world said. Every attempt was a waste of money and prestige.

And every attempt was unsuccessful. This also greatly affected Ying Zheng's heart.

Xunzi once said to his disciples, "Heaven's behavior is always constant. It will not exist for Yao, nor will it perish for Jie." '

Li Si and Zhang Cang, who were senior officials of the Qin State at that time, both knew this truth.

[These things today are clearly recorded in official history. It's not from the official unofficial history or the miscellaneous ghost novels.

What history records has always been human activities, and it is rare to directly record a certain thought of a certain person.

And it seems that a certain person's behavior in a certain period is absurd, which is not consistent with the background of the era in which he lives, and the contrast between before and after is huge. In fact, what affects these are things that have been active in everyone's real life since ancient times—— metaphysics. If you remove these contents, history will feel weird.

Please also believe in Sima Gong's records. He is definitely a good historian. 】
