Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

Chapter 198: Conspiracy and conspiracy, the true meaning of camellia, the suffering of the people is the fire of resentment!

Qinling Mountains, Mount Li Road.

In the past, because the mountain roads in the Qinling Mountains were difficult to travel, when the First Emperor was alive, he personally ordered the ministers of the court to spend manpower, material resources, financial resources and other resources to open up a mountain road that could accommodate carriages and pedestrians.

The opening of this mountain road indirectly led to the birth of Lishan County, which attracted hundreds of thousands of mountain people.

However, even with the mountain roads, the road in Qinling Mountains is still difficult to travel.

Therefore, few people would set foot on this mountain path unless they had no other choice and could not bypass it.

In fact, after the establishment of Lishan County, this mountain road was almost abandoned, and few people have walked on it in recent years.

After all, across the mountain path is Mount Li, where the First Emperor rests in peace and where his imperial tomb is located.

Apart from the conscripted laborers, who would go to Mount Li for no reason?

However, today, there was a endless crowd of civilians gathered outside the mountain road, as huge as a black tide, blocking the entire entrance to the Qinling Mountains.

When Meng Wu led the imperial guards to arrive, his face turned dark. He directly ordered the imperial guards to draw their swords and hold their spears to stop the civilians who were constantly pouring into Mount Li from the mountain road.

"Stop, what do you want to do?"

Meng Wu stood up with a sword in his hand, and wherever the sword pointed, a murderous aura suddenly rose up, covering a large number of civilians.

In an instant, many civilians who were pointed at by the sword were frightened so much that their faces turned pale and they retreated one after another.

Meng Wu is no ordinary person. He is one of the only two great generals in the Qin Dynasty and a cultivator at the peak of the Xuanxian realm.

The most important thing is that Meng Wu is a cultivator who came from the battlefield. As soon as he makes a move, a huge murderous aura immediately rolls in.

How can these ordinary people, who are weak as a kite and have no skills to rely on, resist?

"You have gathered here right under the nose of His Majesty and blocked the entrance to Qinling Mountains. Do you want to rebel?!" Meng Wu shouted loudly, roaring like thunder.

The civilians were so shocked by the angry shout that they were in a trance and almost lost control of themselves.

But fortunately, they still remember what they are here for.

"I...we are not rebelling, we just want justice!"

"Why should we be held responsible for the collapse of Mount Li even though we have been working like dogs for so long?"

"It was obviously those immortal-like cultivators who fought here and caused the collapse of Mount Li. Why do we have to clean up the mess?"

"We don't accept it. If we're going to die anyway, why don't we just vent our anger and let you deal with us as you wish?"

"Yes, I'll vent my anger and let you guys do whatever you want!"

In the blink of an eye, the anger that had just subsided among the civilians surged up again, and they squeezed in even more fiercely and forcefully.

"What is this nonsense?"

Meng Wu frowned. Ever since he led the army to quell the rebellion, he has been in charge of all affairs within a radius of 800 miles of Mount Li.

It stands to reason that if there were any changes in Mount Li... there's no way he wouldn't know about it!

But these civilians spoke with such confidence, as if they had seen it with their own eyes. Could it be that someone was secretly instigating trouble?
Meng Wu frowned and was about to explain when suddenly a thunderous shout came from behind him!

"Your Majesty has arrived——!"

Meng Wu's face changed slightly, and he raised his hand to command all the imperial guards to turn around and bow: "Your Majesty!"

The words fell!

The laborers who had been constantly pushing their way into the mountain also stopped their actions and cast their eyes towards the tall and mighty figure who was slowly walking out of the mountain.

The figure was wearing a black imperial robe, his eyes were bright, reflecting majesty and calmness, and he walked slowly step by step without any other unnecessary movements. But with his appearance, the mountain road, which was noisy just now, immediately fell into silence.

"There are indeed a lot of people... Why are they making trouble here?"

The one who came out of the mountain was naturally Ying Xuan. Looking at the endless and huge crowds of civilians, he was a little frightened.

If we don't handle these civilians all over the mountains properly today, I'm afraid it will really cause a civil uprising.

By then, even if the Imperial Guards led by Meng Wu and the Nine Nether Army led by Wang Ben could kill all these rebellious civilians...but the heinous karma and cause and effect would be enough to shake the destiny and fate of the Great Qin Dynasty.

If you say this is not a trap or conspiracy, Ying Xuan would never believe it even if you kill him!

"It feels a bit familiar, this despicable yet blatant feeling, a bit like that caused by that guy who hides his head and shows his tail..." Ying Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of the man in brocade robe who sneaked into the Xianyang Palace during the riot in Xianyang City.

But, what is the purpose of the latter doing this?

If it really came to a last resort, Ying Xuan would definitely order Meng Wu and Wang Ben to kill all the troublemakers here, and then accuse them of inciting treason. Even if it would be against the harmony of nature, at least they would have a legitimate reason.

Don't underestimate this title...it's very important.

With this title, even if God wants to punish him, Ying Xuan can deal with it calmly.

Of course, it’s not time yet, so Ying Xuan’s first question was to inquire about the situation.

"Your Majesty, these civilians came here to build the Imperial Mausoleum at Mount Li..."

Upon seeing this, Meng Wu hurried forward and repeated the indignant words that the civilian had just said, word for word.

Hearing this, Ying Xuan frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

The Lishan Imperial Mausoleum must be completed. Only in this way can he secure his position as the second emperor.

Otherwise, the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum would never be completed, and the people of Qin would always miss the time when the First Emperor was alive.

Over time, no matter how high Ying Xuan's prestige was, the shadow of the First Emperor would still be behind him.

This is something that is impossible for any ambitious emperor to accept.

“The people are angry and resentful… and the people are suffering!”

Ying Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly recalled the cup of mountain tea he drank in the stone pavilion. His eyes cast towards Mount Li, as if thinking about something.

Could it be that... the Holy Mother Wu Dang had already foreseen this scene?
Aren’t the so-called sufferings the people’s grievances and anger?
"What happened to your statement that you are not good at deduction?"

Ying Xuan shook his head, looked up, and swept his gaze over the group of civilians, with faces coming into view.

After a long while, he slowly said, "I already know why you came here. You came to see me and complain about your grievances. This is just human nature."

"But this trend must not be allowed to continue, let alone be promoted!"

"You have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. You can escape the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of living!"

"When I have dealt with this matter, you will all be forced to work in Mount Li for three months!"

After saying that, Ying Xuan looked back. Meng Yi, who had been following behind him, saw this and immediately stepped forward to write it down. He would then issue an imperial decree and make it public.

The civilians looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw this, but no one raised any objections.

This was an era when imperial power was supreme, and the emperor could decide the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people with a single word.

Besides, they also felt that they were in the wrong.

This is the most important point.
