Chapter 31 Gong, Minister of the Western Zhou Principality?
Not long after.
Yi, the imperial censor, arrived at Zhangtai Palace.
He bowed to the ground:
"I am here to see your majesty. Your majesty will live forever."
"Get up." Ying Zheng didn't raise his head. He bent over and read the memorial. His hand holding the pen was very steady, without any trembling. He asked, "How are the things I asked you to investigate?"
Yi said:
"Return to Your Majesty."
"I have conducted a rigorous investigation in the past few days and indeed found something."
"That master is not an ordinary person."
"He is Gong!"
"Palace?" Ying Zheng stopped writing, frowned and thought for a moment, but he didn't remember who this person was, but he didn't care much. He said coldly: "Who among the nobles of the Six Kingdoms changed his name?"
Yi said in a deep voice:
"Gong Fei is a noble from the Six Kingdoms."
"He was a minister of the former Western Zhou Dynasty."
Hear the words.
"Is it him?" Ying Zheng finally thought about it, with a look of surprise in his eyes. He looked at Yi and said in surprise: "If I remember correctly, he was killed in the Eastern Zhou Kingdom. Could it be that he was not killed back then?
Or just fake death?"
Yi said:
"Your Majesty's guess is correct."
"The information that Yi Chen has found out so far shows that Gong was indeed not dead back then."
"He deceived everyone in the world by pretending to die. After escaping, Gong has been wandering around the world. When the Qin Dynasty was ready to dominate the world, he brought Qin Luoheng to Xianyang and has been living there ever since.
In Lishan."
Ying Zheng sneered and said disdainfully:
"I remembered."
"He is really evil-minded."
"At that time, the world was clearly divided into strong and weak, and Qin's unification of the world was the general trend of the world."
"It's ridiculous that people in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty are still living in the past. They think that Zhou is the common master of the world and want to continue to maintain their superior status in the past. This palace first offered advice to King Nan of Zhou to get close to Han and Wei, hoping to use the hands of Han and Wei to slow down the pace of the Qin Dynasty's march to the east.
."
"The palace's plan was discovered by the late King Zhaoxiang at a glance."
"Not only was the late King Zhaoxiang not angry, but he wanted to use this as an excuse to annex South Korea. When the Qin army was attacking several cities, Gong went to the State of Zhao again to persuade King Zhao to send troops to attack the Qin army. King Zhao fell into the trap.
, sent troops to attack Shangdang, thus triggering the Shangdang dispute."
"It eventually evolved into the Great War between Qin and Zhao, and even the subsequent Battle of Changping."
"After the Battle of Changping."
"There is no obstacle to Da Qin's eastward march!"
"However, after the Battle of Changping, King Zhaoxiang made a mistake, so that the original plan to annex Zhao fell through, and the Qin army was defeated in the subsequent Battle of Handan, and its strength was greatly reduced, so that it had to withdraw its troops
Retreat."
"While the Qin army was renovating, the palace was restless."
"He persuaded King Nan of Zhou to send troops to attack Qin, and he also wanted to unite with Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu and other vassal states. He wanted to take advantage of Qin's weakness to regain their lost territories. If his strategy succeeds, Qin will probably be defeated if it wants to dominate the world.
Delayed for several years.”
"It's a pity that other vassal states are short-sighted and dare not send troops."
"King Zhaoxiang was furious when he heard the news and sent troops to attack the Western Zhou Principality, thus humiliating King Nan of Zhou. However, before the Qin army arrived at the Western Zhou Principality, the palace went to the Eastern Zhou Principality in advance. Unfortunately, the Eastern Zhou Principality was afraid of Qin and directly
Put him to death."
"Now it seems."
"This is just Gong's way of escaping."
"He was not executed by the king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Instead, he arranged an escape route in advance, staged a fake death in front of the world, and then completely disappeared from the world."
Yi said in a deep voice:
"It is indeed as His Majesty said."
"After Gong faked his death, he never appeared in public again."
"He has been wandering around the Six Kingdoms of Shandong as a conqueror until the unification of the Qin Dynasty was unstoppable, so he left the Six Kingdoms and came to Xianyang, and finally settled in Lishan."
Yi is very careful about what he says.
I don’t dare to accept Ying Zheng’s past.
At present, only the First Emperor can evaluate that past.
None of these ministers dared to make any unreasonable objections.
Especially when it comes to the history between King Zhaoxiang and Bai Qi, they are even more taboo. This is why he only dared to mention the name of the palace, but did not dare to speak directly about its past.
Ying Zheng snorted coldly.
"I'm afraid he may not really be anonymous."
"Judging from his tomb, he is still brooding over the failure of that year."
"In fact, he deliberately built the tomb to Lishan Mountain, facing Xianyang Palace. Maybe he wanted to see the fall of the Qin Dynasty with his own eyes?"
Yi's mind condensed.
Zhengse said:
"I will go and shovel this tomb down right now."
Ying Zheng raised his hand and refused: "No need for the time being."
"Although the Great Zhou ruled the world for nearly eight hundred years, after the Quan Rong disaster, it was no longer possible for the Great Zhou to command the world. However, in its last years, it was rare for the Great Zhou to have such loyal ministers."
"He wanted to prevent the unification of the Qin Dynasty during his lifetime."
"Not yet."
"After you die, you still want to witness the fall of the Qin Dynasty?"
"I will let him fail again!"
"I will leave his tomb for the time being. I will let him see with his own eyes how, under my leadership, the Great Qin Dynasty will prosper and prosper, and how it will prosper for generations to come."
"My Great Qin will be prosperous forever!"
Ying Zheng opened his arms, and his already tall figure became even more majestic under the candlelight, as if his hands were directly embracing the world.
Hear the words.
Yi quickly bowed his head and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, ten thousand years!"
"Great Qin Dynasty for ten thousand years!"
Ying Zheng didn't take Gong seriously and turned around to ask about Qin Luoheng's current situation.
Yi replied:
"Return to Your Majesty."
"Qin Luoheng changed his household registration to disciple registration yesterday, and went to the school today for classes. There was nothing abnormal during the period."
"but......"
Yi paused and continued:
"When Qin Luoheng changed his household registration yesterday, Hua Yu accidentally bumped into him. He seemed to have doubts about Qin Luoheng's change of household registration. He deliberately investigated Qin Luoheng's situation in the past two days."
"He should have guessed what happened to Lanchi."
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
"Lanchi?" Ying Zheng snorted coldly, a chill flashed in his eyes, "Has he met Qin Luoheng? Did he say anything?"
Yi replied:
"Your Majesty, Hua Yu did not meet Qin Luoheng directly. He just went to the school to take a look in secret today. Qin Luoheng did not notice during this period. The two have not interacted with each other yet and have not spoken in private."
Ying Zheng frowned and said coldly: "Don't worry about Washington for the time being. They know what to say and what not to say."
"in addition."
"Strictly investigate the leakage of Qin Luoheng's information."
"Any official who leaks information about Qin Luoheng, whether he is from the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Tingwei Mansion, or just an official from Xianyang Hucao, will be investigated and dealt with in accordance with the law."
"There is no room for sand in my eyes!"
"I obey the order," Yi said quickly.
Ying Zheng nodded, waved and said:
"Go down."
"Qin Luoheng's matter ends here."
Yi said:
"I will keep your mouth shut for Your Majesty."
"I excuse myself."
The hall regained its tranquility.
"Washington? I hope you won't make it difficult for me, otherwise..." A cold light flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.
soon.
Ying Zheng recovered his mind and continued to review the memorial.
