Heifu didn't know that there was another very important reason why Qin Shihuang believed more in the local shamans of Qin and rejected the suggestion of Guandang scholars to patrol eastward: after Gao Jian left the case, Qin Shihuang had lost trust in "the people of the princes". Although he
He did not expel the guests rashly like he did back then, but as long as he was a remnant of the Six Kingdoms, he could never get close to the emperor and would not be reused.
Qin Shihuang's criterion for distinguishing "people of Qin" from "people of the princes" was based on the territory of Qin when he succeeded to the throne. At that time, Qin had merged with Ba, Shu, Hanzhong, Yuewan and Ying, and established Nanjun
; To the east of Shangjun in the north, there are Hedong, Taiyuan and Shangdang counties; in the east to Xingyang, the two weeks were destroyed and Sanchuan County was established.
In addition, all other newly conquered areas are counted as "people of the princes".
As a result, Qin Shihuang's car drove in relatively friendly areas during most of this northern tour.
Needless to say, Anyi in Hedong has been the land of Qin since the 21st year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin (286 BC) when Wei was forced to donate Anyi to Qin. King Zhao of Qin transferred the Wei people in Anyi to Qin.
All the pardoned sinners were driven away and moved to the land of Qin to settle down. Several generations later, they had become loyal subjects of Qin just like Nanjun. The local people welcomed the emperor in Puban, Yanchi and Anyi.
.
"When I returned from Handan, the people in Hedong also welcomed me in the same way..."
Qin Shihuang sat in his royal chariot, opened the curtain and looked at the sea of people outside, and the fragments of his childhood flashed by.
At that time, Qin Shihuang was only seven or eight years old. He had suffered a lot of suffering and humiliation in Handan, and he also felt strange to the distant Xianyang. The first time he felt like "going home" was in Hedong, in
Anyi.
I vaguely remember that the queen mother was hugging him tightly in the car. Suddenly there was a noise outside, and the mother and son were frightened. Even though the young master was scared, he bravely stood in front of his mother and clenched his fists.
But those people who were coming all knelt down ten steps away. They just wanted to come and see Gongzi Zheng, who had been living in exile for many years...
The old Anyi farmer held up the steamed millet rice in his hand and invited the young master to enjoy it.
Qin Shihuang did not remember whether he had eaten or not. He only remembered that it was winter and there was rain and snow along the way, but the mother and son felt warm in their hearts because they knew that they were finally safe and no longer in danger of their lives.
"In the past, I went there, and the rain and snow carried me along the way. Now I come to think about it, and the millet and grain are blooming!"
In a good mood, Qin Shihuang issued an order in Anyi: all the people under his rule in those cities that welcomed him more than thirty years ago would be exempted from regular service "one year after another".
Qin Shihuang stayed in Anyi for three days and worshiped the "Xia Xu". But the impression of Taiyuan County that followed was not so good...
At the beginning of the twelfth month of the twenty-eighth year of Qin Shi Huang (the sixth lunar month), Qin Shi Huang arrived in Jinyang.
"Jinyang is good."
While in the car, Qin Shihuang sneered at Li Si, the court lieutenant who was accompanying him: "On the first day I took the throne, I received news that Jinyang was rebelling! Fortunately, General Meng Ao was there to deal with it for me!"
Li Si lowered his head: "I just arrived in Xianyang at that time. I remember this..."
Qin Shihuang still remembers the great gift given to him by the people of Jinyang for his succession, so there is no reduction or exemption in the local area.
Twenty-eight years have passed, Jinyang is still the same, but the people are beyond recognition. Meng Ao is dead, and his son Meng Wu is also getting old. His health is worse than Wang Jian's, and he doesn't know how long he has to live.
The veteran generals are withering away. Among the generals who were active on the battlefield before Qin Shihuang took over, the only one who can still be used is Qiang Su.
What is gratifying is that the younger generation of generals has emerged in large numbers. Meng Tian and Li Xin once disappointed Qin Shihuang, but they all learned their shame and became brave. They have made great achievements in the frontiers in recent years. Although Feng Jing and Li You were second-generation officials, they also
Considered to be somewhat talented.
However, Qin Shihuang was most optimistic about Heifu, a Beidi County captain with great potential. This son was capable of both literary and military skills, and he came from a humble background with no foundation. It was just that Heifu was too young and had learned the lesson of Li Xin's attack on Chu. Qin Shihuang would not
The plan is to let him suddenly ascend to a high position, but to slowly polish and cultivate him...
Because he had a bad impression of Jinyang, Qin Shihuang only stayed here for two days. During these two days, he also heard another thing that made him lose his appetite.
What happened was that a lieutenant from Taiyuan County came to report that in Yuci County near Jinyang, there seemed to be activities involving old friends of Jing Ke’s party members!
"Your Majesty, there is a swordsman in Yuci named Gai Nie. He is from a wealthy family and often associates with swordsmen from the six countries. More than 20 years ago, the thief Jing Ke once traveled through Yuci and discussed swordsmanship with Gai Nie. When Jing Ke was defeated
, Gai Nie has disappeared. I have sent people to search for and offer rewards for him. Recently, he has been reported. He is living in seclusion in Qiyou and has been caught by the government. May I ask, Your Majesty, how to deal with it? "
The commander-in-chief wanted to take credit for this, but Qin Shihuang only felt sick and threw down his chopsticks, showing his displeasure.
Rangers and swordsmen were the people Qin Shihuang hated the most in his life, especially those who were close to Jing Ke.
He always felt that these Prince Dan and Jing Ke remnants who wanted to kill him were really endless insects.
Would the emperor lower himself to interrogate a dying insect? Of course not, Qin Shihuang just waved his hand impatiently and asked Li Si, the court captain, to deal with it according to the law.
As a result, Gai Nie, an old man who avoided the harsh laws of Qin and lived in seclusion in the mountains, enjoying wielding wooden swords with no intention of assassination or rebellion, was called "Jing Ke" by outsiders just because he had interacted with Jing Ke many years ago.
"Friends", he was convicted by the Taiyuan County Magistrate of "general Yang" and "conspiracy of rebellion", and beheaded in Jinyang East City...
In the courtroom, the gray-haired old swordsman Gai Nie kept complaining. When he was young, he was a famous swordsman in Yuci. He had a wealthy family and often interacted with people from the six countries. But to say that he was Jing Ke's friend was a huge injustice.
"I'm not convinced!"
After the verdict was handed down, Genie kept shouting.
"Jing Ke once came to Yuci to visit me and talked to me about swordsmanship. However, our understanding of sword moves and swordsmanship were quite different. I felt that Jing Ke had no skills and could only talk to gain fame, so I became angry.
He was angry and glared at him, and he walked away in shame. He left Yuci that night and never saw me again. How could I be his old friend and a member of the gang? I don't accept it, I want to beg for marriage!"
Begging means that the defendant refuses to accept the judgment and requests a review. If it is a county judgment, he can go to the county. If the county's judgment is made, he can go to the "Supreme People's Court".
After all, Gai Nie had been a citizen of Qin for a long time. Although he was unruly and unwilling to follow the rules, he also knew a little about the system of Qin's laws.
But unfortunately, Li Si, the court lieutenant, was in Jinyang, so Gai Nie asked for help in the morning, and Li Si came to review it in person in the afternoon.
In the end, he rejected Ge Nie's begging, believing that the crime of rebellion was unforgivable, and upheld the original sentence...
Li Si's reason was high-sounding: "Chivalrous men are the five beetles of a country. If the six countries do not get rid of these five beetles of the people and nourish them generously, then there will be a ruined country and a destroyed dynasty!"
"Xia used force to break the ban. There was a legacy of Zhao in Taiyuan. Many young men wanted to learn swordsmanship from Gai Nie. If ten people learned swordsmanship and became knights, ten families' farmland would be abandoned. However, ten more people in the city would be able to rely on their swordsmanship.
Anyone who commits adultery and violates the law will be punished if he violates the law!"
Legalists hate two kinds of people the most, one is Confucianism and the other is chivalrous people, and they wish they would all die. Nowadays, in order to balance the court and academics, the emperor allows Confucianists to be Ph.D.s. Legalists cannot easily touch them, but the folk chivalrous people are different.
Since the unification of the Qin Dynasty, there have been almost every rat crossing the street that everyone calls and beats.
This case was turned into a solid case by Li Si.
Secretly, Li Si's reason for wanting Gai Nie's death was: "The rebels are cunning. Your Majesty was soft-hearted last year and pardoned Gao Jianli, but he then tried to do evil and almost offended Tianyan. To deal with these traitors, we would rather kill them than kill them."
Let it go!”
As a result, when Qin Shihuang left Jinyang and continued northward, Gai Nie was beheaded in the city of Jinyang. Although there were angry shouts from the old swordsman and silent sighs from bystanders, there was no such thing as the snow in June.
…
…
Ten days later, the news that Gai Nie was beheaded in Jinyang reached Julu County. Next to the vast mainland, a huge bang was heard in a small courtyard hidden in the mountains and forests!
"Gai Nie can be considered a hero of the Jin Dynasty. When he was young, he was so good at swordsmanship that ten people could not get close to him. But now he is executed by the Qin Dynasty without any guilt. It is really hateful!"
In the room, a strong warrior in his forties, with thick beard and hair, was shaking with anger. Just now, his punch directly broke the low case into two pieces, and splinters of wood flew everywhere...
His name is Lu Goujian. When he was young, he was a Handan light knight. He hung out in the market all the year round. Jing Ke traveled to Handan. Lu Goujian once played six games with Jing Ke. Halfway through the game, the two of them argued about the order of the game. Lu Goujian had a bad temper.
, immediately lifted up the chessboard and yelled at it angrily. Jing Ke didn't care about him and left happily, never to see each other again.
Lu Goujian only thought that Jing Ke was a coward and didn't take it seriously. Ten years later, when news came that Jing Ke failed to assassinate Qin, Lu Goujian regretted what happened back then...
"I really don't know Jing Qing very well. I used to scold him for trivial matters, but I never thought that he and I actually have similar thoughts."
Lu Goujian was a member of Zhao, and Handan was destroyed. The King of Qin personally came to Handan and killed hundreds of enemies. Some of them were Lu Goujian's benefactors. He also wanted to assassinate Qin, but Jing Ke took the lead.
Finally, Lu Goujian couldn't help but said with regret: "Hey, although Jing Ke has the courage to stab Qin, he doesn't know how to stab with a sword!"
Since then, Lu Goujian secretly left Handan and came to the sparsely populated mainland. He lived by fishing and hunting. He also recruited anti-Qin people from Yan and Zhao to gather here secretly and practice swordsmanship. People like Chen Yu had been here back then.
…
But as Qin unified the six countries, the anti-Qin movement entered a low ebb. Nowadays, the anti-Qin movement has not forgotten, but after hearing about the deaths of "heroes" such as Gao Jianli and Ge Nie one after another, Lu Goujian was really indignant.
The commoner man next to him was very calm, picked up the silk letter that had just been knocked away by Lu Goujian's palm, and said:
"Hero Lu went to the famous city to kill heroes. This is what Bao Qin has been doing. But the patriots of the Six Nations are like leek leaves. They can be cut off and resurrected. They can't kill them all. Bao Qin's behavior will only make people miserable."
More people gave up on him, forcing all the heroes in the world to a dead end..."
"Zhang Zifang! In your opinion, covering the death of the hero is a good thing?"
Lu Goujian grabbed Zhang Liang, who was disguised as a merchant and was communicating information between Chu and Zhao, trying to unite anti-Qin people in the world, and cursed:
"You swore before that the tyrant might be patrolling the east this year, asking us to wait for an opportunity to help you assassinate him. What happened? I got the news that after Zhao Zheng killed Gai Nie, he went all the way north to Yanmen and Yunzhong.
Got it!"
After he finished scolding, he threw Zhang Liang aside. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. In a rage, he picked up the sword hanging on the wall and went out:
"No, I can no longer hide here and grow moldy. I must take the guests to Yanmen and Yunzhong overnight to ambush Zhao Zheng on the mountain road!"
