Back to the Qin Dynasty as a prince

Chapter 81: Restoring the country and seeking great cause

"Historical Records? The Chronicle of Qin Shihuang" records: "Every time Qin broke the princes, he wrote and imitated his palace. Drum, to fill it."

The First Emperor swept across the world and ruled the world.After the destruction of the six kingdoms, they did not kill all the princes and princes of the former six kingdoms, but they still retained the treatment of the monarchs of the vassal states.According to this section of the Historical Records, it can be said that the first emperor was the most benevolent emperor among the many emperors in history, and he was also one of the few emperors in history who did not kill heroes.Since he was so generous to his own people, of course Shihuang didn't do anything wrong to his enemies.

The six kings and dukes were the greatest threats to the first emperor in Shandong, and the first emperor did not kill all these threats.Instead, every time a country is destroyed, a palace is copied and built in the style of the palace of the destroyed king.In this way, after the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, the princes and nobles of these subjugated countries all lived in the palace built for them by the First Emperor.In addition, the beauties from the six countries collected in the war were enriched to dress the princes.

This kind of treatment can be described as extremely generous.However, Ying Zheng did this, did the nobles of the six countries appreciate it?

the answer is negative.

In the carriage driving from Linzi to Xianyang, a middle-aged man with a three-foot long beard sat.Dressed in Tsing Yi and handsome, Tian Dan did not forget to hold a scroll of bamboo slips on the rickety car.

However, this bamboo slip is not an ordinary book, but a secret report.All the princes and nobles of the Six Kingdoms were moved to the Six Kingdoms Palace in Xianyang. Although the treatment did not fall behind, in fact they were strictly guarded and closely monitored.But this does not mean that the six princes have completely lost contact with the outside world.

If it was said that strict surveillance was fully implemented in the past few years, it is another matter now.The two biggest financial difficulties of the empire are military expenditures and large-scale engineering construction.And one thing that the armies of the past dynasties can't get rid of is the darkness of military expenditure. The heart of the Qin Dynasty has been far away from war for a hundred years.There is no danger of war, and military training has begun to slack off.The same is true for the army responsible for guarding the Palace of the Six Kingdoms. The officers who were bribed connected the families of the Six Kingdoms with the outside world.

The channel connecting the six kings to the outside world is not them in the Palace of the Six Kingdoms, but descendants of many royal families who are also scattered in the old places of the Six Kingdoms.Communication was extremely underdeveloped in ancient times, although the Qin Dynasty built Chidao, Zhidao, and even a rudimentary post station.But these cannot solve the problem of communication between the survivors of the six countries and the hidden forces of the six countries.

Therefore, these noble princes transferred their power transformation influence to the descendants of the royal family who were not forced to move into the Palace of the Six Kingdoms.

And Tian Dan is the descendant of the Qi royal family.After becoming a royal family, now he is just a commoner, and he has to hide his identity all the time to plot things secretly.This feeling is very uncomfortable for Tian Dan.

However, it is already the second generation that this kind of thing has been handed down to Tian Dan.Qi State was the last of the six countries to be annexed, and its resistance was not as strong as that of Yan State.The national power of Yan State is far weaker than that of Qi State, but it has repeatedly moved its capital to resist.However, Qi State was easily captured by the Qin army.For the Qi people who consider themselves wealthy and civilized, they look down on the Qin people from the bottom of their hearts.Coupled with the combination of many negative situations, Qidi can guess what Qidi thinks about the rule of the Qin Dynasty with his toes.

But this time, Tian Dan is going to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, to contact the descendants of the rest of the royal family, and jointly seek the great cause of restoring the country.

When the carriage drove into Xianyang, Tian Dan opened the curtains, only to find that Xianyang at this moment was like a silent giant beast.In the streets and alleys, teams of soldiers stared at Lang Gu, staring at the oriental visitors entering Xianyang.

Tian Dan sneered, and the carriage drove into an ordinary courtyard in Anguofang.Most of the people living in Anguofang are military dependents stationed in counties and counties in Shandong.Out of worries about the old land of the six kingdoms, after the first emperor migrated the survivors of the six kingdoms to the land of Lingnan on a large scale, he also stationed many Qin soldiers from the land of Qin, Long, Sichuan and Shu in the old land of the six kingdoms.

In fact, after the unification of the world, the original isolation caused by the division of the countries has disappeared.The proportion of real old Qin people in the land of Qinlong has dropped to an astonishing level.

And Xianyang, as the imperial capital, is the home of all the people in the world.Tian Dan pretended to be Qi Diyi and sent the family members of the officers to Anguofang, without disturbing any important figures in Xianyang at all.

Tian Dan got down from the carriage, and a strong servant beside him immediately went to the door and knocked.

squeak...

The gray-haired head of an old servant protruded from the gate, waiting to see who was coming.He quickly opened the door and saluted respectfully.Tian Dan ignored him and walked in.

There are many people with the same mission as Tian Dan. These people are either merchants or down-and-out literati, and they have entered Xianyang City one after another.

Early the next morning, after a night's rest, Tian Dan walked into the study after washing up.After ordering the servant not to let anyone in, he walked behind the bookshelf.

Tian Dan went to the third bookshelf, picked up a roll of bamboo slips in the second row, and turned an inverted triangle button under the bamboo slips to the left for one and a half turns, then to the right for two turns.

Not long after, there was a bang, and a hole seven feet long and wide was moved away from the floor next to the bookshelf, and below the hole was a step-by-step downward staircase.Without changing his face, Tian Dan walked down the stairs.

Walking into the underground secret passage, he took out the fire twig and blew on it, and the ignited fire dispelled the surrounding darkness.Tian Dan poked the Huo Nianzi to the wall, walked a little along the wall, and lit the torches spread on the wall.

He flicked it with his long sleeves to dispel the stale air in the underground tunnel.Put out the fire twister, raise the torch, and walk to the depths of Didao.

After walking for a short time, about sixty or seventy steps.Tian Dan stopped walking, touched the wall with his hand, found a hook on the wall where the torch was placed, twisted the hook, and with a loud bang, a door opened on the opposite side of the hook in vain.

Tian Dan wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, adjusted his clothes, and put the torch on the outer hook.He walked into the secret room with his head held high.

The interior is quite simple, but there are many people.Looking at the clothes, they are all rich and noble, and their demeanor is also upright, with an aristocratic temperament in their hearts.

One generation of wealth and three generations of nobles.In other words, it is the formation of a family's inner self-cultivation.In the room, there are descendants of the dignitaries of the Qi Kingdom, which have been passed down from generation to generation, and this accumulation is naturally very strong.

As soon as Tian Dan entered, everyone stared at him.No stage fright, Tian Dan, who is only in his thirties, has surpassed everyone and achieved the dominant position in the eyes of everyone who are either envious, jealous, appreciative, or expectant.

Although Tian Dan undoubtedly falls behind this group of people in terms of seniority and status, the nobles who are restricted to live in the Liuguo Palace have already lost their grasp of their hometown in addition to their noble status.The money and wealth scattered in the old places have long been out of human hands.Now they belong to the same family, conspire to restore the country, and the way is the same, so naturally they cooperate with each other.Therefore, the main position fell to Tian Dan.

Tian Dan looked at the crowd and said: "I came from Linzi, and I heard that the great changes in Longxi have made Qin Ting exhausted, and there is a chance to restore the country. I don't know, who of you knows about Longxi?"

People in the arena cast their eyes stiffly on an ordinary-looking middle-aged man who was seated at the back.This middle-aged man's name is Tian Gai, he was originally a scout, and he is good at inquiring about news.

Tian Gai was also descended from the royal family of Qi, but when it comes to blood relatives, he is a side branch.The blood relationship is already weak, and the clothes on her body are quite simple.It seems that life is not rich.

Standing up, Tian Gai said: "According to my investigation, the Yu family in Longxi should have rebelled. It is said that the Yu family offended Fu Su and Wang Ben. They were also abandoned by their master Hu Hai. During this period, there must be a , but I searched for a while and folded three or four people, but I didn't get any news, so I stopped investigating."

Tian Dan frowned slightly, Tian Gai's information should be correct, but it may not be the reason for the Yu family's rebellion.He opened his mouth and said, "If that's the case alone, the Yu family shouldn't rebel. As an important minister of the Jiuqing, Yu Yanggu, how could he rise up so easily."

Tian Gai opened his mouth, hesitant.Tian Dan looked at it, and said in a slightly serious tone: "Why don't you dare to speak out, but it's okay to say it, what you say today will not reach the ears of others. If anyone dares to leak the secret, first weigh how many people you have!"

Hearing Tian Dan's words, Tian Gai immediately lost his worries.Ordinarily, Tian Gai is also used to seeing birthdays on the battlefield, so one death is not something to be afraid of.It's just that there are worries about raising a large family right now, so naturally, I'm a lot more careful.Those who do intelligence work do not only need courage.Also be cautious enough.

Tian Gai sorted it out, and said, "According to Gai's investigation, the Yu family should have stolen a very important thing. This thing did not come from a proper way, and it was most likely stolen from the Wang family. And this thing It is also a very important item, very important to the Wang family, so the Wang family hated the Yu family after it was stolen. As for Fusu, it was also somewhat involved with this item. Therefore, if the Yu family stabbed the hornet's nest all at once, they would offend Fu Su, Wang Ben. As a prince, Fu Su is very powerful in the court, and Wang Ben is a famous general in the world, with outstanding achievements and great power. However, what makes Gai Mou puzzled is that it has not been found out why Hu Hai suddenly gave up on fish. Home."

Tian Dan thought about it carefully, and said: "Since this is the case, the Yu family's rebellion must be true."

The old man who came to the seat beside Tian Dan suddenly coughed, obviously wanting to speak.The old man looked to be in his sixties.He is the oldest in the field.

With a clear cough, he said: "If it's the Yu family, you can't be wrong. When the Yu family rose in Longxi, it was when Lord Changping was the Prime Minister of Qin. The ancestors of the Yu family were Chu people living in Qin, and the ancestors and Lord Changping also There are quite a lot of origins. If you really count it, you can count it as the descendant of the seven sons of King Zhuang of Chu. The grievances and entanglements between Qin and Chu are presumably, and I don’t need to go into details. Moreover, since even Lord Changping, who once served as the prime minister of Qin, can oppose Qin Gui Chu, then why couldn't Yuyanggu seek to restore the great cause of Chu?"

Tian Dan thought for a long time, and said: "Then contact Yuyanggu and allow him to join us in the great cause of restoring the country. Crush the innocent and punish Qin!"
