Da Qin: Self-destruction and time travel, I will extend my life for Qin for a thousand years

Royal, back garden, sunny weather.

The First Emperor Ying Zheng was fishing.

He was dressed in casual clothes, holding a fishing rod, and wearing a bamboo hat on his head.

Since he handed over all national affairs to Fusu, canonized Cui Yuan as King of Qin, and since the great steppe countries such as the Xiongnu, Dayuezhi, and Donghu have surrendered one after another, he has already begun to live his retirement life in advance.

"Your Majesty, you are so leisurely!"

Cui Yuan, who had been summoned, followed the attendant. Seeing Brother Zheng's appearance, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he had a strange feeling like watching an old man playing chess in a park.

How about writing a book - "My Brother's Leisurely Retirement Life"? 》

"Your Excellency, King Qin, are you still used to being crowned queen?"

Ying Zheng asked with a smile, and Cui Yuan looked even more helpless.

"I'm used to it, I'm so used to it."

"I don't even have anyone who can be used. I'm just a mere commander."

Cui Yuan was helpless.

Logically speaking, since I have become the king, I should be able to form a team, especially since I am a time traveler and have the foresight to discover talented people in advance.

However, the famous officials of the Han Dynasty in history, such as Xiao He and Cao Shen, basically passed the imperial examination and entered various places in the Qin Dynasty.

Xiang Yu, Xiang Liang and other members of the Xiang family also served in the Qin army, and Xiang Yu was even named a champion.

Moreover, the reforms in Great Qin are still continuing, and these people are still needed to shine.

Therefore, although Cui Yuan became the King of Qin, the fiefdoms of the five counties still used the original Qin officials, but the person reporting and debriefing changed from the eldest son Fusu to Cui Yuan.

"Isn't there Zhang Liang?"

Ying Zheng caught a fish and continued with a smile: "Before, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms were rampant, and he had been responsible for intelligence work in Kuaiji."

"Now the world has become much more stable, and I have let Dun Ruo gradually take over Zhang Liang's intelligence network."

"When he is free, he can become your prime minister."

"As for the others, this year's imperial examination will be held soon. You can just choose from those who won the imperial examination."

Cui Yuan was surprised: "Your Majesty, you actually gave Zhang Liang to me?"

This was a famous rebel in the early Han Dynasty. Cui Yuan thought that Ying Zheng would always control Zhang Liang.

"Why not? Is it possible that I have to set up another position of Prime Minister specifically for Zhang Liang?"

Ying Zheng smiled, then asked his entourage to bring another fishing rod and handed it to Cui Yuan: "Can you fish?"

"meeting!"

Cui Yuan nodded, took the fishing rod, sat next to Ying Zheng and started fishing.

In fact, he has never fished before. After all, before time travel, he was just a high school student who liked online writing.

It's just that his memory is very good now. He can recall the fishing books he read before. Although he has never fished before, he can still learn a lot.

Ying Zheng seemed to know that Cui Yuan had never fished before, so he deliberately wanted to see Cui Yuan's jokes.

However, things developed completely differently than he imagined.

Cui Yuan really didn't know how to fish at first, and he didn't catch any fish for half an hour. But then he became more and more proficient, and he directly grasped the essence. After two hours, he caught more fish than Ying Zheng had fished for most of the day. need more.

"You kid, you are indeed capable of anything!"

Ying Zheng rolled his eyes and put down his fishing rod to admit defeat. Cui Yuan chuckled and released all the fish he caught.

This is a royal garden after all, and every fish is very valuable.

If he really took it home and ate it, Brother Zheng would probably have his head smashed.

Ying Zheng nodded lightly and revealed the purpose of calling Cui Yuan: "Cui Yuan, actually I called you here today because I want to ask you something."

"Want to hear the details!" Cui Yuan saluted.

Ying Zheng did not speak immediately, but waved his hand and asked the attendant to bring a blood-stained booklet.

Cui Yuan glanced at it with his peripheral vision and immediately recognized what it was - a confession!

That is to say, torture the prisoners in the sky prison, and after getting the information, interrogate the confession records written by the jailer.

Originally it was a bamboo slip, but after the emergence of Hsinchu paper, it became a booklet.

"This is the last torture confession written by King Yuezhi before his death."

Ying Zheng named the prisoner corresponding to the booklet, which surprised Cui Yuan slightly.

It turned out to be the Yuezhi King!

I haven't seen him for a long time since I saw him dancing to the point of exhaustion outside Xianyang City.

Unexpectedly, he was detained and tortured by Brother Zheng, and he died? ? ?
Ying Zheng continued: "I always feel that he will send people to Daqin to test. This matter is full of weirdness. After all, we just destroyed the Xiongnu."

"Even if they didn't occupy it directly, they still severely damaged the Xiongnu's vitality."

"The Da Yueshi are obviously similar in power to the Xiongnu, but they actually took the initiative to send people over to provoke them."

Although the Yuezhi King's test plan was a naked provocation to Ying Zheng.

Just like a rabbit, no matter how twists and turns it uses to test the lion, it is a serious disregard for the dignity of the lion!
"So I feel that there must be some hidden connection behind him, so although he was not executed directly, the torture continued."

"Three days ago, after experiencing another torture, he couldn't hold it in anymore. He said that he would tell everything he knew. He also said that it was an unspeakable secret and that telling it would be very dangerous."

"The interrogating jailer did not dare to neglect and immediately summoned Dun Rui. Dun Rui did not hesitate and immediately sent people to seal off the entire prison to prevent people with ulterior motives from sneaking in."

"However...the accident still happened."

At this point, Ying Zheng's eyes became very dark: "When a key question was asked and King Yuezhi was about to answer, the ceiling of the cell suddenly aged and fell, and King Yuezhi was crushed to death on the spot. !”

Cui Yuan: "..."

He understood what Brother Zheng meant, although no matter from which point of view, this was an ordinary accident.

But it's so coincidental that it's so horrifying.

He did not ask what the question was, but took the confession and looked through it carefully.

Soon, he saw the record at the end of the confession.

Question No. 12: "Why did the Da Yueshi suddenly send a mission to Da Qin?"

The prisoner replied: "Because I want to test the bottom line of His Majesty and Cui Shenxian."

Question: "Aren't you afraid of offending Da Qin?"

Answer: "Don't be afraid, because God told me that Huang..."

Smallpox fell, the prisoner died unexpectedly, and the trial was interrupted.

The record of the interrogation of the jailer is very simple, and there are still a few splashes of blood on it. It is obvious that when King Yuezhi died, it was in front of him.After closing the confession, Cui Yuan asked with concern: "Is the interrogating jailer okay?"

"fine."

Ying Zheng shook his head and continued: "But there seems to be a problem with his memory."

"Afterwards, I wanted to ask him what King Yuezhi looked like before he died, and I wanted to deduce his state of mind at that time, but the jailer said he couldn't remember."

"The same is true for everyone else present. It was clearly something that happened a few days ago, but their memories are all blurred. Some people even forgot the gender of King Yuezhi."

"Cui Yuan, do you know what's going on?"

what happened?

Not surprisingly, it must be the fault of the dog system!
Cui Yuan was very clear in his heart.

I understand very well that this is caused by the virus that lives inside my system.

It seems to be restricted by certain rules. It cannot kill itself directly, nor can it kill people like Zheng Ge and Liu Bang who have a great influence on history.

But like the Yuezhi King, these corner figures whose names are not clearly recorded in the history books can still afford the butcher's knife.

"Is this a human method?"

Ying Zheng looked solemnly, but Cui Yuan could only smile bitterly: "Your Majesty, you really asked me this question."

"If I could know the answer, I would have figured out how I traveled through time."

Although he has the teleportation gate, Cui Yuan has never been able to teleport to modern times and return to 2000 years later.

When he traveled to the Tang Dynasty before, Cui Yuan tried to disobey orders and go directly to modern times.

But no matter what I do, it doesn't work. Even the dog system doesn't have that time node option.

"But I think I should know what the yellow... follow-up that King Yuezhi said before his death meant."

"Oh!"

Ying Zheng was originally disappointed because he didn't get the answer, but now that he heard this, his eyes immediately lit up!
"Do you know what that yellow means?"

This is very critical information!
As long as we can figure this out, we can understand where King Yuezhi's confidence came from during his lifetime.

"If my guess is correct, what King Yuezhi was talking about during his lifetime should be the great diversion of the Yellow River."

"what!!!"

As if struck by thunder, Ying Zheng's figure trembled violently, and his expression became extremely frightened: "You mean, there will be a major diversion of the Yellow River in Da Qin in the future?"

Although the level of development in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods was not high, and there were still large tracts of primitive jungle on the Loess Plateau, compared with the Shang and Zhou dynasties, it was still much less developed!
Because during this period, great changes occurred in society, farming with iron plows and oxen appeared, and land development accelerated rapidly.An unprecedented land development campaign began throughout the North, and the population grew massively.

As land is redeveloped, forests are reduced.

It is recorded in history that during the Warring States Period, there were "no long forests" in Henan and "no forests" in Shandong. The forests on the Loess Plateau also decreased sharply, causing the Yellow River to burst its banks several times every year!

However, the only thing that can be called a major diversion is the world-ending disaster that occurred in the fifth year of King Ding of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The water took over the river from Suxukou, went eastward to Luochuan, and split with Luochuan at Changshoujin, and then flowed northward. Join the Zhang River and enter the sea at Zhangwu!
That disaster, according to records, flooded more than half of the North China Plain. As a result, more than 300 million slaves died of starvation, starvation, and drowning. The blood stained the entire land red!
It’s been 400 years since now!
I thought the Yellow River would be quiet.

And now, this kind of super natural disaster is coming to the land of China again! ?
"where is it?"

Ying Zheng said in a shocked voice, so nervous that cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "Where will the Yellow River burst its banks this time?"

"Cui Yuan, since you come from the future, you must be aware of this kind of thing, right? After all, something as big as the Yellow River will definitely be recorded in the history books!"

"We must not let this happen, otherwise the people outside the customs will definitely be littered with corpses!"

Speaking of this, Ying Zheng became even more excited!
Every face turned red, and his eyes were ferocious!

Cui Yuan was slightly startled. He didn't expect His Majesty to care so much about this matter.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

The great diversion of the Yellow River was a first-rate divine punishment no matter which dynasty it was in, especially since the Yellow River was often regarded as the dragon's vein of the Central Plains.

The dragon vein symbolizes the destiny of the country. Once it changes, you can imagine how violent it will be for a dynasty. Many people will definitely rise up and a peasant uprising will break out!

If one of them fails, the entire Qin Dynasty will be completely divided or even destroyed!
How could Ying Zheng, as the only emperor of all time, sit back and watch this happen?
"Cui Yuan!"

"Please remember, you must remember!"

"This natural disaster must never happen!"

Cui Yuan looked at the First Emperor who was getting more and more excited and even wanted to beg him, and a hint of admiration suddenly arose in his heart.

Your Majesty, you never disappoint.

Cui Yuan nodded and quickly reassured: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. I will naturally remember such important matters clearly."

"If I remember correctly, this time the Yellow River should have breached at Gouzi, southwest of Puyang."

"According to historical records, the closest major diversion of the Yellow River to us is this one."

"During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty 70 years ago, the Yellow River broke through the gourd in the southwest of Puyang and swung southward again. It broke through the Juye Ze in the southeast and entered the Huaihe River from the Si River. From then on, it took the Huaihe River and entered the sea!"

"Although this diversion of the Yellow River happened suddenly, if nothing else happens, it should still be carried out as it was done 70 years later!"

Cui Yuan's speculation is well-founded. The dog system has always wanted to kill himself to maintain the normal process of history.

Therefore, the Yellow River changed its course and the location of the breach should also follow the historical progress of the Han Dynasty closest to them.

The previous cold disaster is probably also the advance of a certain Little Ice Age in the future!
"Puyang Southwest Gourd!? Someone is coming!"

Ying Zheng repeated excitedly after hearing this.

Without any hesitation, he immediately asked the attendants to get paper and pen, began to write the warrant, and immediately arranged for officials to go to Puyang overnight to inspect the river embankment!

The action was very fast and there was no delay in the whole process!

"Cui Yuan, you helped me a lot this time!"

After everything was done, Ying Zheng raised his head to express his gratitude.

If Cui Yuan hadn't remembered the location of the breach, I don't know how many people would have died this time!
Fortunately, there is still a chance to prevent everything.

Cui Yuan helped Da Qin again!
"Your Majesty, you are welcome."

Cui Yuan declined, thought about it, and decided to take advantage of this plan to reveal his concrete dam plan.

After all, this plan definitely requires His Majesty’s cooperation before it can be implemented!
"By the way, Your Majesty, are you interested in knowing how the Yellow River will be managed in the future after 2000 years?"

Ying Zheng nodded.

What Cui Yuan said really aroused his curiosity.

According to the various future methods revealed by Cui Yuan before, the world in 2000 should be very technologically advanced.

How will such a powerful future person deal with the change of course of the Yellow River?

"His Majesty!"

"There will be two brand new building materials in the future, named steel and concrete." (End of Chapter)
