Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 450 The Fall of the Empire
After hearing these words, everyone admired Song Yi even more, so everyone was willing to serve Song Yi.

"I also ask Song Gong to accept our following and lead us in the great cause of restoring the country."

Naturally, Song Yi still had to refuse.

"You are all heroes from all over the country, and I, Song, am just a descendant with a big family name. I say these words today for our Chu State. Since the Chu State has risen, it must be Let’s establish the King of Chu first. I think our top priority now is to find the descendants of the Chu King’s royal family.”

"At the same time, we also need to inquire about Qin's movements. Otherwise, it is not enough to fight against the Qin Empire. I saw the notice saying that the second generation Dongyang Lord succeeded to the throne. This man is scheming and good at deceiving people. He is no easier to deal with than the King of Qin. , but I also know that although our Chu State has been destroyed for many years, no one is truly loyal to King Qin."

"The Qin people destroyed our Chu country and massacred our Chu royal family. The hatred of this kind of annihilation has always been buried in the hearts of our Chu people. I know that there are many people like us who cherish the Chu country and are unwilling to respect the Qin royal family as kings. I Knowing that they are all like us, hiding in places where Qin's army is small, to seek opportunities to respond together."

"What we have to do now is contact these people."

There are already several declining wealthy families in Chu State who are discussing how to revive.

Thousand-year-old clans like the Yu family are no exception.

However, they have another option, which is to expose the evil intentions of the declining nobles of the Chu Kingdom like themselves, in order to win the favor of the Queen Mother of the Empire and gain a high position.

……

……

……

Qi country.

Most of the people of the Tian family gathered in the countryside. In the past, some people from Tian Dan and Tian Heng, who wanted to resist Qin on the battlefield to gain high positions, escaped and died, so they temporarily tolerated it.

They are also waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for Qi to stand up again.

Under the bright green seabed, undercurrents surge everywhere.

Crisis in the empire seems to be everywhere.

The local bureaucracy system that was originally perfect and efficient for the Qin State became difficult to function after the empire's territory expanded several times due to the influence of transportation, people's hearts, language, and local customs.

Qin officials fell into a dilemma.

First, they are local officials, the highest administrative chiefs of the region.Responsible for local affairs, but all decisions on matters within the county must be adjudicated by the emperor.

Secondly, it was because they were local officials, their positions in the court were not very high, and the salaries provided by the empire were very meager.

As out-and-out Qin people, they were eventually sent to the Six Kingdoms, thousands of miles away. Naturally, they felt it was not worth it to get such a small position, heavy official duties, and a small salary.

As for the influence of these officials in the local area?

When people have problems, they will go to the local reputable old people to solve their problems. As for them, if they didn't have official seals and the guards standing by, people here would definitely look at them askance.

Over time, they also learned how to deal with the emperor. One day, they would make up a story about county affairs, and tomorrow they would make up a fake one, and then they would say that there was nothing going on in the county, and then they would praise the former emperor for his sageness.

But it's not all so idle. There are edicts issued from the court, and these people will strictly implement them according to the edicts.

For example, someone previously assassinated His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty searched the world for ten days. They also followed suit, but this door-to-door search was of little significance.

These people are all acquainted with the folks in the village, and they are all in collusion.

No one knows where Zhang Liang is hidden, but since the search is fruitless, it means that the search is fruitless, and they cannot conjure up a Zhang Liang.

But after this incident, they realized that Qin could attack and destroy the six countries, but it was absolutely impossible for the people of the six countries to treat themselves as Qin people.

As for the people who died of hunger on the side roads, the people did not know that there were Qin officials, so the Qin officials naturally would not care about them.The reason why I say this is because the laws of the Qin State stipulate how to comfort such widowed and lonely old people.

As the days went by, some Qin officials would take the initiative to make friends with the local big clans in order to get along well with others in the county, and then began to go to the countryside to do as the Romans did.

Some Qin officials will think about how to continue to be promoted and return to the court to work; some people will just break the pot and stay in the mansion to have fun.

Unless the emperor comes and needs to do a lot of tidying up, usually these Qin officials are far away from the emperor, so the officials will naturally forget the original intention of the emperor when he ordered them to come here, and the emperor only observes the world's major events through memorials, so that the emperor Although he saw some clues in the court, the First Emperor was unable to do anything.

After all, the First Emperor was just a person, wasn't he?

As for the scattered troops stationed there, it was like the waves in the sea washed ashore some fish and shrimps on the beach. It took ten years for them to settle down there.

In the past ten years, few things have happened in this empire that made everyone feel happy.Instead of improving, people's living conditions have become increasingly difficult.

There are tens of millions of people in the world, servants of the First Emperor, millions of troops, and millions of prisoners. Half of the empire's labor force has been wiped out.

The remaining half use their physical strength to work hard to support everyone in the empire.

If everyone lived a stable and prosperous life, then these people would obey their new emperor, instead of repeating hard work day after day while still holding resentments but not dare to say it openly.

A young man, from the moment he destroyed his country, embarked on a wandering career. With the idea of ​​restoring his country, he traveled to the seven former kingdoms, and even took the risk of sneaking into the Qin Kingdom. .

Time has caused this young man to have lines on his face since he was in his prime.

But it also gave him new thinking about the world.

He suddenly saw who the most capable people in the world were.

They were the people who were once trampled under their feet, but now, as the Six Kingdoms disappeared in the wind, they stood up with hoes on their shoulders.

These common people are not what they thought they were in the past.

Even Zhang Liang discovered that these common people also have the wisdom of politicians, such as their forbearance.

After discovering this, Zhang Liang no longer limited the people he tried to make friends with to those after the big families of the Six Kingdoms went into exile, but also looked at the people of the Six Kingdoms.

This day, for Zhang Liang, is a day worth remembering forever.

The enemy of his heart, King Yingzheng of Qin, passed away.

This means that his chance has come.

The reason why he assassinated Qin Shihuang in the past was to tell Ying Zheng that he would never win the hearts of the people in the world; moreover, he wanted to tell the people of the world that there were others like them who had not forgotten that the First Emperor Ying Zheng had imposed a great imprint on them. tribulations and imprints.

Zhang Liang looked at his servant, and joy surged through his body.

On the street, there were very few people laughing as loudly as him.

As for the imperial sergeants, when they heard the news, many of them felt so sad about the death of the First Emperor that they burst into tears.

However, after the sadness, you still have to face the cruel reality.

Or, tell the Second Emperor the actual situation here and bring an army to level it.

Either leave as soon as possible, otherwise there are so many people here and they might be the first to die one day.
