Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

Chapter 149 Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng’s arrangements!

The twenty-sixth year of the reign of Emperor Qin

Epang Palace

Meng Yi strode into the palace, "Your Majesty, the craftsmen have been found. I have arranged three houses that are not easily noticed by others, and built them separately. According to the method given by Mr. Xiao, it will take two months at the fastest to complete the construction. "

This is already the case when there is a production method.

Ying Zheng's hand holding the carving knife did not stop, "Don't worry, has there been any news recently?"

"Yes. Under the deterrence of the army, things went smoothly. Taking this opportunity, we have captured many remnants of the Seven Kingdoms hidden among the people." Meng Yi replied.

"In a few days, it should be initially completed."

Ying Zheng finished carving a bamboo slip and picked up another one, "Has Fusu left Xianyang recently?"

Since that day when Zhao Gao was beheaded and Hu Hai was driven out of Xianyang, the father and son had not seen each other again.

Meng Tian also did not continue to communicate with Fusu in the mansion.

"The eldest son has always been in the palace."

Ying Zheng paused for a moment and continued his instructions, "I will set up a school in the palace, and the children of officials in the court and my children will be sent to study there. I will raise this matter at the court meeting today."

"Do you have any objection?"

Quickly bowing, Meng Yi said with great determination: "I think this matter is excellent."

"That's it, just worry about the paper. As for Fusu, don't worry about it in the future." After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he thought of other things.

"Drive all the alchemists out of the palace."

"No." Meng Yi responded.

After getting the order, Meng Yi left in a hurry.

After putting down the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng summoned the palace servants and said, "Let Prime Minister Li Si come to see me."

Half an hour passed.

Before Li Si arrived, Xiao Ran appeared first.

The familiar smell of medicinal food, Ying Zheng knew who it was without even looking up.

"It's time again so soon. Sit down. I just happened to summon Li Si."

Xiao Ran sat down happily, and every time Ying Zheng came to ask something, he would give gold, which was very generous.

Gold does not circulate in Da Qin, so the gold mined is basically in Da Qin's treasury.

Ying Zheng quickly finished the medicinal food.

"If you have time, come with me for another physical examination to see if there is any need to change the medicinal formula." Xiao Ran said.

"It's okay to finish dealing with political matters today."

"Okay, I'll stay here tonight and come back after the physical examination tomorrow morning." Xiao Ran has no problem.

After a while, Li Si appeared in the hall.

He held his head upright and saluted unhurriedly. Even if he saw Xiao Ran's unusual behavior, his face did not change at all.

"His Majesty."

"Prime Minister, I summoned you here today. I want you to listen to the conversation between me and Mr. Xiao." Ying Zheng's attitude was cold, but he didn't have any murderous intentions.

After all, when Qin Shihuang was alive, Prime Minister Li Si did a very good job.

Li Si was a little confused, but sat down obediently.

After tea was served, Ying Zheng said: "Last time we mentioned that Hu Hai killed officials, why did Li Si die?"

The gold was pushed in front of Xiao Ran, and Xiao Ran took part of it, "I haven't finished answering the last question, so I don't need so much gold."

"Hu Hai's words were meant for Li Si. Therefore, Li Si was worried that Hu Hai would listen to Zhao Gao's words and offered Hu Hai the political philosophy of dictatorship and rule of law. He used inspection and punishment methods to consolidate the emperor's power and suppress the people. Resistance and transgression.”

"It is this concept that intensifies the conflict between the people of Qin and the court."

"Subsequently, Hu Hai recruited a large number of farmers to build Afang Palace and Lishan Cemetery, and mobilized 50,000 soldiers to come to Xianyang to defend himself. At the same time, he ordered all parts of the Qin Dynasty to supply grain and grass to Xianyang. There was also a very outrageous rule that prohibited those responsible for transporting grain and grass from On the way, they ate food within three hundred miles of Xianyang, and the burden of unpaid labor and taxes increased. Eventually, the first peasant uprising in the Qin Dynasty, the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang Uprising broke out."

"Unfortunately, Hu Hai was still kept in the dark by Zhao Gao. He always believed that the world was peaceful. It was not until Zhang Han surrendered to Xiang Yu that he woke up and realized that Zhao Gao was not a good person and was dissatisfied with Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao directly took this opportunity to make excuses. Hu Hai was killed on various charges of stupidity. He was finally buried in the common people's ceremony and reigned for only three years. "

Three years.

Ying Zheng's face was gloomy. The world he conquered with so much hard work lasted only twenty years in total.

Still destroyed with such a ridiculous ending.

"Why would I assist Hu Hai?" Li Si was confused.

Xiao Ran said: "You were persuaded by Zhao Gao to conceal the death of the First Emperor."

"How could Zhao Gao convince me?" Li Si didn't believe it. He and Zhao Gao couldn't be said to have a bad relationship, at least they wouldn't listen to Zhao Gao casually.

Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and continued: "Because of Meng Tian."

"Zhao Gao is good at guessing people's hearts. He understands you."

"You were originally a commoner, and you served the First Emperor because you could not bear to be humble and poor. Now you are in the third rank, enjoying all the glory and wealth, but you are often worried about your future, worried that one day your wealth will disappear."

"Zhao Gao caught your mentality and mentioned Meng Tian. Meng Tian has been with Fusu for many years. Of course you will suspect that the position of prime minister has fallen into Meng Tian's hands. After thinking about it, you will naturally choose to have no capable ministers around you. Hu Hai.”

Li Si's face turned red. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Ying Zheng. There was nothing wrong with these words.

He couldn't argue.

"But you forgot, Zhao Gao is a villain."

Xiao Ran said the most important point.

It is true that Hu Hai has no capable ministers around him, but with a villain like Zhao Gao, if he wants to stay in power for a long time, Zhao Gao's interests will be touched, and conflicts will inevitably arise between the two sides.

"Li Si died in the hands of Zhao Gao." Ying Zheng said the final conclusion.

Xiao Ran said: "Zhao Gao and Li Si repeatedly gained the upper hand in battles. Li Si wrote to Hu Hai and told Hu Hai that Zhao Gao was ambitious, but Hu Hai didn't believe it. Later, under Hu Hai's toss, peasant uprisings were common in the Qin Dynasty. Li Si and the right prime minister Feng Quji and General Feng Jie persuaded Hu Hai to stop the construction of Afang Palace and reduce some corvee services."

"When they went to present the memorial, Hu Hai was having fun with the palace maids. He was very angry when he saw Li Si and others writing letters, and immediately ordered them to be arrested and imprisoned. Later, Li Si wrote many times in prison, but was blocked by Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao claimed Li Si and his son Li You rebelled, and Li Si was tortured, and finally Li Si was forced to admit the rebellion. "

"Li Si was convicted of rebellion and was defeated by the Yi clan. But Li You was still outside. Not long after, he fought with the rebels Xiang Yu and Liu Bang in Yongqiu, was defeated, and was beheaded."

"Prime Minister Zuo, what conclusion do you draw from this story?" Looking at Li Si, Ying Zheng showed no emotion on his face, as if he was just asking casually.

Li Si was dripping with cold sweat and knelt on the ground, "I am guilty. I listened to the slander and failed to recognize the truth. I deserve death!"

"I should abide by your majesty's last wish and assist the eldest son to help Su ascend the throne!"

At this moment, Ying Zheng sneered, "Fool, you have followed me for many years, and you can actually have such thoughts in your heart."

"Even if Fusu ascends the throne, Fusu will not change your position as prime minister at will."

Li Si didn't dare to answer.

"I know your talents, you don't have to worry every day." In the end, Ying Zheng still spoke to comfort the hero of the generation.

"I understand." Li Si responded.

Ying Zheng asked him to get up, "Let's go, it's time for today's court meeting." "Mr. Xiao, do you want to come with me?"

Xiao Ran said, "I'll go take a look."

The palace where the court was held was very spacious, and Xiao Ran followed Ying Zheng and appeared.

The minister looked at Xiao Ran from the corner of his eye.

Ying Zheng sat at the top and ordered someone to arrange a seat for Xiao Ran.

"I have something to tell you dear friends today."

"I will set up a school in the palace. Officials in the imperial court can voluntarily send their children to study in the palace. All my children will enter the school."

"Prime Minister Zuo Li Si, General Meng Tian, ​​as teachers of the academy, do you two have any objections?"

This kind of thing is not a big deal, and no one from the DPRK ministers refuted it.

Meng Tian and Li Si took a step forward, "No!"

Unexpectedly, this court meeting was nothing important. Xiao Ran felt sleepy after listening to it. He finally waited until the next court meeting and left Afang Palace with Ying Zheng.

……

Jimo ancient city
Xiao Ran arranged a room for Ying Zheng.

"Mr. Xiao, please help me clear up my doubts." The last time he came here, it was just a short stay. Ying Zheng looked at most of the things in the house that were strange.

Xiao Ran briefly introduced the things commonly used in daily life, including water heaters for bathing, bathtubs, etc.

"Just call me if you need anything, and I'll come over in time."

"Thank you."

After Ying Zheng finished washing, he came out of the room and saw Xiao Ran watching TV.

"This thing is so magical, can Da Qin use it?" Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice, staring at the TV.

Xiao Ran shook his head, "No, there is no electricity in Daqin. It is impossible to get electricity in Daqin."

There was a historical explanation on the TV.

"Professor, why can't Qin Shihuang's tomb be opened yet?"

"The tomb of Qin Shihuang contains a large amount of mercury, which is very dangerous. We will not excavate it unless we are 100% sure."

Ying Zheng said: "Dig my grave?"

Xiao Ran was inexplicably embarrassed. From a certain point of view, digging graves was a bit immoral.

"In the development of history, book records are not detailed enough, so excavation of ancient tombs is a way for us to understand history."

"Speaking of which, you later burned books and enslaved Confucians. There are several theories."

"Some people record that what you burned were miscellaneous books written by alchemists, and some people say that what you burned were Confucian classics."

"In addition, later, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, burned Epang Palace and destroyed even more ancient books."

Xiao Ran sighed, history is recorded by the victors, and there are many practices of burning books. Digging ancient tombs is the most accurate way to understand history.

"I will not burn Confucian classics at will." Ying Zheng defended himself.

What is the truth of the matter can only be known after the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum is excavated.

Xiao Ran still changed the channel silently.

"Xiang Yu committed suicide in Wujiang..."

"The dispute between Chu and Han..."

For a moment, Xiao Ran simply refused to change. Today's TV is poisonous.

Ying Zheng suddenly said: "After Hu Hai died, how did Zhao Gao die?"

If the emperor is gone, Zhao Gao will inevitably ascend the throne. At that time, the world is in chaos and uprisings are happening everywhere.

Ying Zheng was still a little curious about how tragic Zhao Gao's fate was.

"Zhao Gao took off the jade seal on Hu Hai's body and wanted to ascend the throne relying on his own bloodline with the surname Zhao. However, the silent resistance of the civil and military officials shattered his dream of being emperor. Zhao Gao had to change his mind temporarily. , passed the jade seal to Ziying, a member of the royal family. Due to the uprisings and the collapse of the Qin Dynasty, Ziying had to cancel the imperial title and regain the title of King of Qin. "

"Just as Zhao Gao was preparing to control Hu Hai and waiting for Ziying to ascend the throne, Ziying and the people he trusted agreed on a plan to kill Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao asked Ziying to fast for five days and officially ascend the throne. When the time came, Zhao Gao Someone was sent to invite Ziying to formally ascend the throne, but Ziying was unwilling to go, so Zhao Gao went to invite him in person. As soon as he entered, the eunuch Han Tan quickly killed him with a knife. Criticize Zhao Gao's crimes and destroy the three tribes of barbarians."

Upon hearing that Zhao Gao failed to ascend the throne, Ying Zheng's expression softened.

"Being a descendant of the royal family does not disgrace the family."

Ying Zheng was quite satisfied with Ziying's approach.

Xiao Ran said with some regret: "Zi Ying seems to have some brains, but it's a pity that the Qin Dynasty has fallen apart, and there are no generals available, so he has already lost the support of the people."

"After Liu Bang was about to attack Xianyang, he chose to surrender."

"After Ziying surrendered, Fan Kuai proposed to kill Ziying, but Liu Bang did not agree and instead took him into custody. Liu Bang was preparing to become king in Guanzhong and wanted Ziying to be the prime minister. More than a month later, Xiang Yu led his army to enter Xianyang, immediately killed Ziying, set fire to Epang Palace, and massacred in Xianyang. A large number of records of the Qin Dynasty have been lost for many years. "

"Xiang Yu? Which of the Seven Kingdoms is he from? Why did he massacre and burn the city?" Ying Zheng asked with a frown.

What Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, did after he invaded Xianyang is truly terrifying.

Even if they burned Epang Palace, they still carried out massacres in the city.

The people are so innocent.

Xiao Ran said: "Xiang was a general of Chu for a long time and was granted the title of Xiang, so his surname is Xiang."

"Xiang Yu didn't like studying when he was young, but he had great ambitions to fight against Qin and studied with Xiang Liang."

"This made him confident, domineering, and even cruel, but he also had a generous and benevolent side; when it came to treating prisoners, Xiang Yu was very tolerant and implemented equal treatment in his army; unfortunately, he was not cautious enough, and in the late Chu-Han War, he began to Arbitrary and unwilling to listen to advice, he led the army to chaos and ultimately failed. He committed suicide by committing suicide. "

"We have arrived at Wujiang, but there is no way out?"

"No, all the Jiangdong children he brought out died. He claimed that he had no face to face Jiangdong's elders, so he committed suicide."

Xiang Yu is indeed a contradictory person.

He is capable of not listening to advice, cooking people to death, and talking about equal relations with the soldiers.

And Wu Jiang's suicide is even more incomprehensible to many people in later generations.

"There is a widely circulated story about Xiang Yu, Overlord Yu Ji. If you are interested, I can take you to see it."

Xiao Ran suddenly remembered the news he had seen recently. There was going to be a Peking Opera tour in Jimo Ancient City, and there happened to be a play about Overlord Yu Ji.

Except for Qin Shihuang, everyone else in the company had the opportunity to see Overlord Yu Ji.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Xiao."

Ying Zheng immediately said: "Whose hands did this world finally fall into? And what is his identity?"

"The winner of the Chu-Han conflict was Han Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang, who established the Han Dynasty."

"However, after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, he used the laws and regulations you formulated, etc., with a few changes."

"Liu Bang's identity before the uprising was a very small local official."
