Chapter 425 There are three types of unfilial piety, the worst is not having an heir.
Next to the meteorite.
Doctors of Yin and Yang Lu Sheng, Shang Qing Zhao Gongming, Pei Gong Wang Xu and others all showed their talents.
Lu Sheng and other Yin-Yang doctors slowly went deep into the pit, occasionally grabbing a handful of dirt and stuffing it into their mouths.
Zhao Gongming raised his body, stepped on the stone with his feet to use his strength, and jumped on top of the meteorite to investigate.
Wang Xu circled around the meteorite.
Cinnabar...
Zhao Gongming rubbed the red stains on his fingertips and jumped off the meteorite. He already knew it in his heart. He jumped off the meteorite and was the first to finish the survey.
After a while, Guiguzi stopped circling, and Lu Sheng and other Yin-Yang doctors also returned from the pit.
Under the leadership of Zhang Han, a group of people entered the carriage of King Si Ma and talked about what they had observed.
Although everyone has different arguments, they all come to the same conclusion - it is not the power of heaven, but man-made power.
There was no emotion or anger on the face of the First Emperor, and he said to everyone:
"Do you know who is responsible for this?"
Everyone looked at each other.
If they had come here on the day the meteorite fell, they might have discovered something. But it has been more than a month, who can tell.
"Can."
Wang Xu, who had four moles on his head and had not spoken a word since entering the carriage, suddenly said, and as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone gathered around him.
Everyone's eyes shifted, and when they saw that it was Gui Guzi who was famous all over the world, their doubtful eyes turned into respect.
If anyone in the field can really detect something, it must be Gui Guzi. His life is so legendary that almost everything is unknown. Very few people know his own deeds, but just those few disciples make people believe him.
The First Emperor's murderous intent was strong, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Sir, please speak."
Guiguzi raised his head and spoke softly.
"Heaven's secrets are not communicated to mortals."
All the doctors of yin and yang bowed their heads and resigned.
Even when they showed their abilities outside, they were considered gods by the people. But in front of Gui Guzi, they were just mortals.
Zhao Gongming stood there, hesitant.
He had just used the Qi Watching Technique outside, and it was clean and he didn't see anything. This happened not only because of the long time, but also because the Onmyoji deliberately erased the traces.
His qi-gazing technique was inherited from Huang Di, the founder of the Immortal Family, who was the most brilliant Yin-Yang sect. Huang Di's qi-gazing technique could not see things, and Zhao Gongming did not believe that Gui Guzi could see it.
It's not that Huangdi didn't know Yin-Yang, but there was no Yin-Yang family in Huangdi's time. Zou Yan, the founder of Yin-Yang family, absorbed a lot of knowledge and created the Yin-Yang lineage, of which Huangdi was the mainstream.
Just like Mohism began with Confucianism.
That's all. Your Majesty won't believe me if I tell you now. I'll tell you later.
Zhao Gongming bowed his hands and bowed his head.
"I excuse myself."
There were only two people left in the carriage.
"Can we talk about it now?"
The First Emperor asked.
"This is the power of heaven, not man-made."
Wang Xu said in a deep voice.
"Sir, do you know what you are talking about? Are you kidding me?"
The First Emperor put away his smile and looked indifferent.
"I am not a dragon, I can kill people."
This is not a threat, it is a statement of fact, and the dead Kage is proof of that.
"Your Majesty is doing this to suppress the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and to stabilize the Qin Dynasty. But along the way, the world will be peaceful. Is this what your Majesty wants to see?"
The First Emperor looked at Wang Xu, whose words seemed unrelated, and waited patiently for what was to come. He was always very patient.
There's no rush in killing people.
"In the case of the meteorite in Donghai County, His Majesty sent the censor here to ask the county governor Jingcha to cooperate. More than a month has passed and nothing has been found. However, the nearby Lanling is prosperous. Isn't this a dragon lurking in the sea?"
Guiguzi said it word by word.
"In the past, when floods occurred, Gun gathered earth to build walls, hoping for nine days of fertile soil. He could grow ten thousand feet high, and the floods stopped. But after two or three years, the floods came back tenfold, and many valleys turned into swamps.
“King Hou Yu dug dikes and deep ditches to divert floodwaters in all directions, and floods never happened again.
"The fall of the meteorite was caused by the power of heaven. All the snakes, insects, rats, and ants hidden in the caves came out, and the Qin Dynasty benefited the most. It was man-made. Killing one, two, three, four, five rebels, how much can it do?"
The carriage fell into silence, so quiet that one could hear the burning sound of huge candles.
Guiguzi's back was to the light source, and the front looked a little dim.
The First Emperor was facing the candlelight, his face bright.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but time seems to have stood still.
The First Emperor rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, blocking the light with his hands, and his face darkened.
"What Pei Gong said makes sense."
Guiguzi smiled happily and bowed.
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
Gui Guzi resigned, and the First Emperor sat alone in the carriage, without moving or saying a word for a long time.
Regarding the meteorite falling from the sky in Donghai County, a certain scholar had long ago told him that it was man-made and caused by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. He could take advantage of this topic and use the power of all the feudal heroes in Donghai County to make a big investigation.
This is a process of seizing power according to the decree. Many heroic families in Donghai County are not only arresting rebels for the First Emperor, but also competing for power in Donghai County.
For a few fiefdoms, these heroes dared to fight against the First Emperor and openly opposed the First Emperor's county system.
So this time the Great Suo is more important than the original struggle between the two systems. The more remnants of the Six Nations are sued, the more power they have to speak. This is their most fundamental interest and can be passed on to future generations. How can they not do their best?
A certain person is the most self-aware and knows that his plan may not be the final implementation plan. There are too many smart people around the First Emperor, and it is possible to come up with a better one through brainstorming.
After saying what he was thinking, he finally said solemnly:
"No matter what you want to do with this meteorite, you must not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Killing without reason will only arouse the common hatred of the people and push them to the side of the remnants of the Six Nations.
"I don't usually ask for much, but now I beg the emperor not to be carried away by anger and become a murderous person, which will lead the Qin Empire into an abyss of eternal destruction."
"Historical Records" contains:
In the thirty-sixth year, when Yinghuo was guarding his heart, a falling star fell to Dongjun. When it reached the ground, it was turned into a stone. The head of Guizhou Province may have engraved the stone with the words: "The First Emperor died and the land was divided."
When the First Emperor heard about it, he sent his censors to question him, but he refused to obey. He took out all the stones and killed the people who were living nearby, and then burned the stones.
The First Emperor remembered his answer at that time:
"Require me not to build the Sixth Palace, ask me not to build imperial mausoleums, ask Qin to implement a parallel system of prefectures and states, ask me to enact the crime of obscenity, ask me to abolish slavery..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The person who kept talking until he had a sneer on his face begged him to stop talking. Only then did the First Emperor stop listing, sneered, and ended with a rhetorical question.
"You call this not asking for much?"
"Stop talking nonsense, just say yes or no!"
Under the firelight, the face was flushed with red. I don't know whether it was from embarrassment, anger, or suddenness.
"It's unfounded to worry! If I were a murderous person, why would I want to help Su become Chunyu Yue's disciple?"
"Does this sentence mean promise?"
"snort!"
The First Emperor was too lazy to pay attention to his younger brother who was suddenly bewildered. He was already used to his younger brother going crazy, so he walked towards the carriage of King Si Ma.
A certain boy quickly caught up with him, chattering beside him and talking non-stop.
"Is this a promise?"
"Ah."
"Are you agreeing or not?"
"snort."
"I thought you agreed!"
"Um."
His fingers began to tap his knees rhythmically, and the First Emperor closed his eyes.
Is it a coincidence, or did you see it, how did you know that I was going to kill someone.
You see that Guo Kai is a treacherous minister, and Zhao Gao is a treacherous minister like Guo Kai and has foresight. So how do you explain it at this moment? You can even guess what Gui Guzi is going to say?
Is the strategy you proposed based on human nature? So is this last request?
Or is it that Zhao Gongming is lying to me? He told me that you don't know Yin Yang magic, and his words of comfort to me are all lies based on what he taught me.
This is unlikely. Even if you can, your onmyoji skills will not surpass those of Lu Sheng and Zhao Gongming.
Witchcraft? Chu'er has the ability to read minds, so can you? But I never thought about massacre before today...
Ying Zheng smiled helplessly.
"You're such a bastard, what weird and obscene skills have you learned? You're still unsettled after you leave, and you're going to cause trouble for me."
Boost your energy and drink lightly.
"Zhang Han, I want Li Si to come see me!"
"only!"
Lang Zhongling responded outside the carriage.
After a while, the car curtain was raised and Prime Minister Zuo entered.
"Li Si pays homage to His Majesty."
"Thoroughly investigate this meteorite and I will have the results within three days."
"only."
Li Si waited for a while, but before he could find any punishment for the result, or the imperial edict from the First Emperor to mobilize officials from surrounding cities and counties, or the tokens to prove the Prime Minister's identity, such as ceremonial guards and horses, he already knew it in his heart.
.
The prime minister has full power to control local officials.
But first, it takes time to prove identity, and what is most lacking now is time.
More than a month has passed since the incident, and all the clues have been exhausted. At this time, three days are required to solve the case. The time is too tight, and it can only be possible by gathering the strength of all officials from surrounding cities and counties.
Second, the officials of Donghai County probably would not take Zuo Cheng seriously.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the officials here are all local nobles. They only dare not offend the emperor, and no one else wants to do anything.
In order to verify his thoughts and ensure that he was not mistaken, Li Si respectfully asked before leaving:
"Can punishment be used?"
The Qin State governed the country by law, but extorting confessions by torture was strictly prohibited by the "Qin Laws". Extorting confessions by torture was a violation of the "Qin Laws" and was a serious crime.
"Act according to the laws of Qin."
"Wei, I'm resigning."
Li Si left, and there was only one person in the carriage again.
"I won't break my promise.
"Since I promised you, I will give them a chance."
The First Emperor leaned against the carriage and read softly.
The movement stirred up the wind, and the wind swayed the candlelight.
The fire flickers on and off, and the interior of the carriage flickers in and out.
July of the first year of the First Emperor's reign.
When the First Emperor entered Donghai County and saw a meteorite, the governor of Donghai County, Jing Chai, neglected his duty, so the doctor ordered Zhang Han to kill him.
The First Emperor also ordered Prime Minister Zuo Li Si to check the meteorite for three days, but to no avail.
The First Emperor was furious and ordered that no living thing should be seen in a radius of twenty miles with the meteorite as the center.
Lanling County was only eight miles away from the meteorite. It was massacred by the Qin army and all the people in the city died.
It was half a month later that what the First Emperor had done in Donghai County in the far east of the Qin Empire was learned by Ying Chengyu in Yanmen County in the northwest of the Qin Empire.
In front of Yanmen County.
The leading horseman loosened the reins and let his arms hang down naturally, reaching half a foot past the horse's back!
He touched the large ox-horn bow on his body, which was larger than the ordinary hard bow. He took out the bowstring from his arms and made a gesture to raise it.
A good longbow and its bowstring are only hung up when it's time to go into battle.
The first is to maintain the tightness of the bowstring. The bowstring will be in a stretched state for a long time and will not retract when removed.
The second is to extend the service life of the bow string. The longer the string is stretched, the easier it is to break.
"Hey, hey, brother Sui, you're just joking!
"Open the city gate!"
The city gate opened wide, Mi Sui put back her bowstring, snorted coldly, and took the lead.
Three thousand cavalry followed closely behind and filed in.
The edge of the martial arts arena.
Mi Sui, who was covered in dust, looked intently and couldn't help but sigh when he saw that with the help of a saddle and stirrups, any soldier could free his hands on the horse to draw a bow and set an arrow.
He had always been proud of his superb equestrian skills, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when he discovered that what he could only do before could now be done by himself alone.
Ying Chengyu patted his shoulder.
"I divided the Taotie army into five armies. You are good at riding and shooting, and are suitable for holding down the formation and covering the formation. You can be the general of the central army and lead the central army."
Mi Sui was puzzled.
The central army is wrapped up by the front, rear, left and right armies. It is the safest and is exclusive to the general, not a partial general's army.
"Give me the central army, which army will you lead?"
"I have a guard battalion. I don't lead the army. I like to charge."
Mi Sui was stunned.
When the coach charges, does he think he has a long life, or does he lose too slowly?
To charge is to charge towards the edge. Chargers have always had the highest death rate in the army.
When the commander dies, not only does the army face no command, it also deals a huge blow to morale. There are many examples in history of commanders being captured or killed and thus losing the war.
Mi Sui came to his senses and firmly objected. He came to conquer the world for his nephew, not to die.
Ying Chengyu knew that this would be the case, so he put on full-body armor, and Mi Sui reluctantly agreed.
He admitted that Ying Chengyu, wearing this armor, was protected by three thousand disciples with high martial arts skills, so it would be difficult for him to die or even be injured.
But if a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall, he will not be infallible once he goes to the battlefield, let alone charge.
If you want the coach to charge and boost morale, this set of armor can be used by a disciple to disguise himself, and it will be difficult to see from the outside.
The reason given by Ying Chengyu was "Wearing a white robe and silver armor, the rebel army took the general's head from it like a bag. It was a man's dream, and he was handsome."
Mi Sui's response was "I have a serious illness."
Don't love to be the king, love to be the pioneer.
Isn't this a serious illness?
"Brother Sui, have you trained generals in the past ten years? The kind that can command ten thousand people. I am still short of four generals."
"Yes, do you dare to use it?"
Mi Sui smiled half-heartedly.
"...You really have it. What are you going to do by training ten thousand people? Do you want to rebel? You'd better come and fight the Huns for me quickly, lest you be put on the execution ground one day."
Mi Sui waved her hand.
"Forget it. If you dare to use it, I won't dare to give it to you. We only have so much wealth in total. What if we lose this battle? We can't all bet it on you alone."
Ying Chengyu sighed.
"You are still such a bitch. I will introduce Meng Tian to you later. You two should have a lot in common."
"Don't worry about the general affairs for now. There is another important matter at the moment."
Seeing Mi Sui looking like he was watching a good show, Ying Chengyu felt an ominous premonition.
Mi Sui didn't show off, and then said:
"Mrs. Han is here."
Ying Chengyu's eyes widened.
"My mother? Why is she here?"
"The Empress Dowager Han found out about your practice of "Yellow Emperor". Tsk tsk, there are three types of unfilial piety, the worst is not having an heir."
