Outside the Zhangtai Palace, the imperial staff wielded by the official was heavy and powerful, without any compromise. The hem of Zhao Gao's clothes was stained with blood, and his buttocks were beaten to pieces.
Zhao Gao gritted his teeth, his head was bleeding and his buttocks were raw. But the corners of his mouth were raised, and he was smiling.
The big red glass bead that smashed his head and caused blood flow was found in Hu Ji's treasure box. It was Hu Ji's relic. But he did not take it away. He pretended that he had not searched the treasure box.
This glass bead was given to Hu Ji by him.
When he saw this big red glass bead on the desk of the First Emperor, he knew that most of the matter was over. No matter who brought the glass bead to the First Emperor, as long as it did not pass through his hands, the bead would be more convincing.
The perfect glass beads that only Ying Chengxi could cast were cherished by Hu Ji, the concubine of the First Emperor, and placed in a treasure box together with the portrait of the late King of Chu.
"Chang'an Jun, Gao knows that this move will not defeat you. Don't be in a hurry, take your time..."
Zhao Gao said in a voice that he could not hear:
"Any surname is good in this world, but the surname cannot be Ying."
As the son of the Zhao Kingdom, he came to the side of the First Emperor from the palace, and for ten years he risked his life to protect the First Emperor. No one could see through his disguise, because he even deceived himself.
The severe pain in his buttocks has somewhat subsided. This is not because the man wielding the cane has weakened his strength, but because his buttocks have been beaten to numbness.
He was lying on the stone table in the courtyard, and as far as he could see, there were weeds growing out of the cracks in the bluestone slabs.
In such a small space, the weeds growing toward the sun cannot be contained. Just like in the heavily guarded Xianyang Palace, Zhao Gao's desire for revenge cannot be found.
Zhao Gao did not want to restore the country, to restore the Zhao State that was rotten to the core, to restore the Zhao State where the son starved to death of the father, the ministers sold the king, and the king abandoned the commander-in-chief.
That Zhao Guo who rode and shot in Hu clothes was deeply influenced by Hu people's culture and abandoned etiquette and ethics. Women were not ashamed of lasciviousness, but considered their true nature. Men did not take private fighting as a warning, but considered it a true man.
No matter how many times we try again, as long as we don't change our thinking and introduce reforms, we are doomed to fail. Both of them worshiped martial arts, and the Zhao State, which was strong in force through barbarism, and the Qin State, which was strong in force through strict orders, had completely different endings.
.
There are many happy and tragic people in the land of Yanzhao.
This not only means that chivalry is prevalent in Yan and Zhao, but it also means that the superiors in Yan and Zhao are not well-controlled.
If there are grievances that must be redressed, and there is no injustice, there will be no chivalry. If there are severe penalties for private fights, and violations of the law must be prosecuted, there will be no chivalrous people who use force to break the ban.
The State of Zhao has no shortage of military generals and capable warriors, but it lacks the culture that can integrate all of them. The superiors do not want to rule the world but want to enjoy happiness and indulge in sexual desires. How can great things be accomplished?
Zhao Gao himself knew how much he weighed, and he knew that he could not recover Zhao, and that recovery would be in vain and would be nothing more than another collapse. But as the son of Zhao, if he cannot recover the country, he must be able to avenge it.
He only had one daughter, and he decided to commit suicide without leaving a son to inherit his family name, leaving no escape route for himself.
He was able to kill the First Emperor countless times, but that was not what he wanted. Even after killing the First Emperor, the Qin State still could not collapse.
There are a group of veterans who have pacified the Six Kingdoms, and there is a Lord Chang'an who is not in the government but in the opposition. If the First Emperor dies, the Qin State will just change to another Qin King, and the Qin State will still stand strong.
Just like when King Wu of Qin suddenly died while holding a tripod, the world thought that the turmoil caused by the loss of the king was the best opportunity to attack and the starting point for Qin's transition from prosperity to decline.
The previously unknown King Zhaoxiang of Qin, who succeeded him hastily, took Bai Qi as his commander and killed so many people in the world that no one dared to say a word. It was inappropriate for the kings of the five countries to gather in Qin and call him the Western Emperor.
King, Qin has always been in need.
Zhao Gao understood very early that if he wanted the Qin State to collapse, it would be useless to simply assassinate the king and kill him.
There is no guarantee that the next King of Qin will be a fool who can obey his orders and fall out. Just like the Qin State used a divorce plan to make King Zhao kill Li Mu, destroy the Great Wall, and destroy his own country, Zhao Gao will be better than anyone else.
Everyone is loyal.
He regarded the First Emperor as his king.
He regarded the First Emperor as his father.
When the time comes, he will regard the First Emperor as his enemy!
In a wasteland outside Xianyang City, there is a brocade quilt. Outside the brocade quilt are two eunuchs who were buried with their eyes open. Inside the brocade quilt is Hu Ji, whose waist is less than a handhold and Zhao Gao raised the corner of her mouth and died with a smile.
There are no signs on this wasteland. Soon, the soil will corrode its charming appearance and turn the red pink into a skeleton.
Hu Ji, the subjugated princess of Da Chu, was buried simply and died lightly. She died in obscurity not for Zhao Gao, but for the collapse of the Qin Empire.
As for her parent and son Ying Huhai, if Hu Ji had any feelings at all, she would not let Ying Huhai indulge in such indulgence until he was at this age, and he had not yet attained enlightenment.
If it weren't for the fear that the First Emperor's wrath would implicate the Chu Palace among the six palaces, the eighteenth son of the Qin Empire would have been strangled to death by his biological mother's hands.
Some people want to inherit the throne with their own children, inherit this unified empire, and become the master of the world. It doesn't matter whether he is from Qin, Chu, Zhao, Zheng, or Wei, as long as the one who reigns in the world is my son.
The subjugated princess of Chu did not think so.
She misses the Chu girl described in the description as "both looking and smiling, admiring her and being kind and graceful".
She misses the great shaman Jin who "takes a long breath to cover her tears and mourns the hardships of the people's livelihood", which describes the great shaman who is loyal to the people of Chu, who respects gods and loves people.
She misses the worship of gods and witches who "point to the nine heavens and think they are right, because they are spiritually cultivated."
She missed Chu State and everything about Chu State.
In this world, no country is better than Chu, and no people are better than Chu people.
She is proud, and Chu people are also proud.
This pride does not come out of thin air, it is fought out, it is a fire ignited by being excluded!
The ancestor of the Chu people is Zhuanxu Emperor Gaoyang, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor. Gaoyang's grandson Chongli was a Huozheng and was responsible for handling national affairs.
Chong Li was appreciated by Emperor Ku and was given the title of Zhu Rong. This is also the origin of the totem of Chu State.
The ancestors of the Chu State are descendants of serious Chinese people. The Chu State, which calls itself a barbarian, has more upright roots than most vassal states.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! During the Shang and Zhou wars, the Chu people followed Zhou Wu King Ji Fa to defeat the Zhou Dynasty. However, because the Chu people had intermarryed with the Miao people, the vassal states in the Central Plains had always been prejudiced against the Chu people.
Thinking that it was not Chinese orthodoxy, the Chu people refused to be sealed off.
Until the time of King Zhao of Zhou Dynasty, Chu people barely established a country, with a land area of only fifty miles. King Zhao of Zhou invited all vassal states to participate in an alliance meeting, and at the alliance meeting, the king of Chu and the real barbarian king Xianbei were arranged to burn fire together.
The king of Chu was ashamed and angry. How could the proud Chu people swallow this bad breath? After returning, he cut off the tribute from the Emperor of Zhou.
King Zhao of Zhou ordered the princes to attack the Chu State. The Chu State, which was only a mere fifty miles away, made all the countries in the Zhou Dynasty see the tenacity and unyieldingness of the Chu people. The armies that attacked the Chu State twice were defeated and returned.
King Zhao of Zhou issued an edict stating that it was a grave crime of the Chu State not to pay tribute.
Chu State replied: "The Emperor of Zhou regards me as a barbarian. How can any barbarian pay tribute to the Emperor of Zhou?"
This was the first time that Chu called itself a barbarian.
Since you all say that I am a barbarian, then I am a barbarian. If you do not want to associate with me, the Chu people, do you think that I, the Chu people, rarely want to work with you?
After hearing this, King Zhao of Zhou was furious and summoned the army again. This time he personally led the expedition and was bound to destroy the Chu State. The result of this war was that the entire army of the Emperor of Zhou was annihilated and the Chu State was not destroyed. However, King Zhou Zhao, who looked down upon the Chu State, died in the battle.
battlefield.
The State of Chu used a small area of fifty miles to deprive the emperor of the world from the throne. This was Yin Shi who saw the Zhou Dynasty turn from prosperity to decline.
After this battle, the Chu State, which no longer paid tribute, only believed in itself and took the opportunity to annex many territories. The proud Chu people did not need the emperor of Zhou to reward them with fiefs. Whatever they wanted, they could do it themselves!
From then on, Emperor Zhou's prestige was greatly lost.
During the reign of King Zhou Yi, there were many copper mines in the country of Hubei.
In the Zhou Dynasty, sacrificial objects, soldiers' weapons, and circulating coins were all bronze items, and copper mines were fixed assets and money. In order to seize mineral resources, King Zhou Yi brazenly sent troops to attack the country of E. In order to monopolize the country of E, King Zhou Yi issued an edict and ordered all parties to
The princely states are not allowed to participate in the war.
Under the remaining power of the Zhou Dynasty, no one in the princely states moved, except the Chu State.
Xiong Qu, the king of Chu State, once again attacked the State of E on the grounds that I was a barbarian and refused to obey the edict of the Emperor of Zhou.
At this time, the State of E was fighting fiercely with the King of Zhou Yi. The State of Chu took advantage of the situation and occupied most of the territory of the State of E. From then on, the State of Chu became the Great Chu.
The king of Zhou Yi lost his army and generals, and even made a wedding dress for the state of Chu. He was very angry.
After withdrawing from the country of Hubei, Xiong Qu did something that shocked the world.
Xiong Qu claimed: I am a barbarian, and I will not give up the title of China, so I will make my three sons king.
There is only one king in the world, and that is the Emperor of Zhou.
Xiong Qu named his three sons kings, making them equal to the Emperor of Zhou.
What bullshit, Emperor Zhou, is on the same level as my son, my young father!
King Zhou Yi became bedridden in anger and died in depression.
Both Zhou emperors died at the hands of the proud state of Chu.
Hu Ji’s original surname is Xiong, and her full name is Xiong Hu Ji. She inherited the Chu people’s pride in calling themselves barbarians.
If this world is not Chu State, then she, Xiong Huji's son, is the leader of the world, and she wouldn't be surprised!
As a member of the Chu royal family, she believed in gods and had learned witchcraft since she was a child. Before she died, she used witchcraft to try to communicate with Donghuang Taiyi, the supreme god who protected the people of Chu.
Then, she used her finger as a pen and wrote five Chu characters on the brocade quilt that were invisible and could not leave any trace, and that only she knew.
The one who destroyed Qin was Hu Ye.
Zhao Gao would lie to her, but God wouldn't.
So, after the First Emperor left her chamber coldly.
Xiong Huji drew her sword and hummed a song.
"On an auspicious day, the weather is good, and General Mu will be happy with the emperor. The long sword is caressed by the jade ears, and the jade ring is ringing..."
On this auspicious day, she is finally freed, and she will die to meet the Eastern Emperor with a happy mood.
When she took the sharp sword, she touched the jade ornaments on her clothes, Dingdang, Linlang...
He cut himself with a horizontal sword.
Blood spilled.
Blessings of fire.
Never go out.
…………
Xiang Yu, who was born with a childish attitude, had eyes full of monsters as he turned around.
This dissatisfied look made even his uncle Xiang Liang feel frightened.
[This is just a fourteen-year-old child, your nephew!]
Xiang Liang, who is chubby, has a big belly, and is always smiling.
Even when faced with Wei Liao, who was once a captain of the Qin Empire and a close confidant of the First Emperor, Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC, still smiled.
He has a strong mind and can laugh no matter what he faces. He doesn't need to make other expressions to show his emotions.
Facing the bones and blood left by his elder brother, he couldn't laugh anymore.
He had to keep a straight face and act like an elder in order not to show timidity in front of the young Xiang Yu.
"From today on, I will teach you swordsmanship. Coupled with your brute strength, you will no longer be able to defeat me."
"Not learn."
Chongtongzi turned his head in disdain.
Xiang Liang thought that his nephew loved literature rather than martial arts. Although he felt a little pity that his nephew was a brute force. However, he felt a little relieved when he thought that it would be safer to study literature and not go to the battlefield, so he said:
"Then study, understand things, and know how to control people."
"Not learn."
Xiang Yu did not give any face to his uncle who refused to let him go to Yingdu.
Xiang Liang was angry.
"You don't want to learn this, and you don't want to learn that. What are you going to do?"
He grabbed Xiang Yu's strong and swollen arms, which were as thick as the thighs of his peers, and said angrily:
"Yingdu, Yingdu, what can you do if you go there? Can you restore the country with your natural brute strength? Do you think you can conquer Yingdu in these two times?"
Xiang Yu saw that his uncle, who had taken good care of him since he was a child, was really angry. He restrained his temper and said seriously:
"No matter how good you are at learning swordsmanship, even if you become the best swordsman in the world like Genie, you will only be able to resist an ordinary person.
"As for studying, it is enough if Yu can write his own name. If you want to restore Chu, literati cannot do it.
"If Yu wants to learn, he must learn something that can withstand thousands of troops. Otherwise, it will not be enough to regain the Chu Kingdom."
Xiang Liang's anger subsided, but his face was still cold, but his grip on his nephew's arm was loosened.
"In that case, my uncle will teach you the art of war. As the grandson of Lord Wu An, you must not disgrace your great father's reputation!"
"only!"
The fourteen-year-old boy nodded solemnly, wanting to learn the art of war well and regain the Chu Kingdom in the future.
Eight days later.
Inside a house that is shabby on the outside but luxurious on the inside.
Xiang Liang stood up and looked at his nephew sitting on the bench with a chill.
"Can you say that again."
"I don't want to learn the art of war anymore."
"What on earth are you going to do!"
The veins on Xiang Liang's forehead popped out and were about to explode.
On the round wooden table, military books were scattered randomly.
"Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Wu Zi's Art of War", "Sun Bin's Art of War", etc., which are rare for ordinary people to see, are all scattered, looking as if they have been read.
"Yu has already read these military books, and it is useless to read them any further."
Xiang Liang is chubby, and his face that smiles all year round is distorted by anger.
"You finished reading it in just eight days? How did you read it?"
The boy who was born with a heavy child looked at his uncle with strange eyes.
"Uncle, you haven't finished reading these books in eight days? May I ask how you read them?"
Bang~
Xiang Liang slapped his hand on the round table, and the precious military classics on the table bounced around.
"How dare Shu Zian tease me like this!"
Xiang Yu didn't know why his uncle was angry, it was very strange.
There were only so many words in these books, so he read them while playing. What was there to be angry about after reading them? Did he read them too quickly?
