As soon as Lu Ao finished speaking, Qin Shihuang sneered.
"Ten years ago, I ordered you and other alchemists and Confucian scholars to promote the Five Virtues of the First Dynasty, thinking that the Zhou Dynasty was the Fire Virtue, and the Zhou Virtue in the Qin Dynasty was invincible. The beginning of the Shui Virtue, the beginning of the new year, and the greetings all started on the first day of October.
, the clothes, banners and festival flags are all black."
From then on, the Qin Dynasty began to advocate black from the time of Duke Wen of Qin, and officially designated this color as the correct color stipulated by law.
Now Lu Ao said that he had obtained the prophecy from the Book of Heaven: He will destroy Qin, which sounds like "I am the one who kills me", which is a bit ridiculous.
Is it possible that Qin himself was the one who destroyed Qin?
Lu Ao knew that his life and death in this gamble depended on it in an instant, so he quickly said:
"I don't dare, but this is not the black that Great Qin advocates. According to my speculation, it may be pointing to one person, and the other person is Yinghuoxing!"
This time, Qin Shihuang did not interrupt Lu Ao. He sat behind the case, took a copy of the memorial, and turned it over slowly, as if Lu Ao was nothing, and he did not know whether the emperor was listening to these words.
Lu Ao had a strong desire to survive: "Please explain to your majesty the strange celestial phenomena at the end of last year. When I passed by Dongjun, I heard people say that the stars fell like rain the night before, but at midnight, meteors fell in Dongjun, and the next day
When the officials arrived, they found that there were inscriptions on it..."
"This may have been done by the head of the Six Kingdoms of Guizhou. His Majesty will live forever, and the Qin Dynasty will be passed down for eternity. How can there be talk of dividing the land after death? However, the strange celestial phenomena are mostly the warnings of the Emperor of Heaven to the human world. The astronomical direction travels eastward, the southward direction is smooth, and the westward direction
, the north direction is reversed, I think this is a sign from the Emperor of Heaven to remind your majesty that someone wants to cause chaos. Not only is there a sign of what will happen, but also who will do it. I searched the ancients and finally found a sign that matches this meteor.
Record."
Lu Ao was bound by shackles and could not get too close to Qin Shihuang. He could only say loudly: "It turns out that this kind of meteor is called a sky dog. It looks like a big running star, has a sound, and its bottom is like a dog. When it falls, it looks like a dog.
The flames soared into the sky. The lower circle was like several hectares of fields, and the upper circle was yellow..."
"Tengu?"
Only then did Qin Shihuang raise his eyes: "Summon the Taishi to order Hu Wujing."
After Hu Wujing arrived in a hurry, he inquired and found out that there was indeed a kind of meteor, which was called "Tiangu". As for whether the Dongjun meteorite qualified, it remains to be discussed.
But Lu Ao already thought that the meteorite was the "Tiangu".
"Speaking of Tengu, who did Your Majesty think of?"
Qin Shihuang said nothing, but Hu Wujing was shocked to be left behind.
The legend of the Tengu originated during the reign of Duke Mu of the Qin Dynasty. Its shape is like a raccoon with a white head, and its sound is like a pomegranate, which can ward off evil. There is Bailuyuan in the west of Lishan Mountain in Guanzhong, and there is a dog cane castle on it. During the time of Duke Xianggong of Qin, a Tengu came.
If there is a thief, the heavenly dog will bark and protect it, so the fort will be safe...
Since then, the Tengu has been regarded as a beast that protects against evil and captures thieves, and stands in front of the pavilion. Sometimes, the Tengu is also used as a synonym for the chief of the pavilion.
As for the person who was born as a pavilion chief in the imperial court, and because he often called himself the "Great Qin Heavenly Dog", he was considered by Qin Shihuang to be the "black dog" in his dreams. Who else could there be other than that person?
"That's right, Heifu..."
Lu Ao revealed his name, the name he had cursed countless times over the years: "Heifu, the Marquis of Changnan who commands hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians! He is the person foreshadowed by the falling star! There is exactly the word "black" in his name.
I'm afraid, 'Whoever destroys Qin is evil', and the son of the prophecy, the one who will bring chaos to the imperial court and the country, is this king!"
"Your Majesty, think about it again. A few years ago, when Heifu was given the title of Lieutenant because of his great achievements, Your Majesty thought that the name was crude and nondescript and ordered him to change it. However, Heifu still insisted on it on the grounds that he 'did not forget his original intention'.
Use it. In my opinion, this is not about not forgetting the original intention, but about having ulterior motives!"
Qin Shihuang seemed not to take any words from Lu Ao, a sinner, and motioned to Hu Wujing to answer questions on his behalf.
Hu Wujing didn't know the emperor's plan, so he could only ask Lu Ao: "Are you saying that the Marquis of Changnan already knew about the prophecy of the heavenly book you saw?"
The more Lu Ao said, the more mysterious he became: "Not only did he know about it, he also contributed to it! He named cities everywhere without authorization. This is the art of understanding the land. He is using the place names to draw a large formation to surround the destiny of the Qin Dynasty."
Hu Wujing shook his head and didn't believe it: "The Marquis of Changnan was born in the capital of Guizhou, how can he know Yin Yang Alchemy?"
Lu Ao eagerly bowed to Qin Shihuang and said: "Your Majesty, Xu Fu, who is the best in the world in the art of talking to each other, is right next to him! His Majesty visited Jiaodong a few years ago, but Xu Fu delayed meeting with Your Majesty at Chengshan Corner as agreed.
He is colluding with Heifu to trap other warlocks in order to prevent His Majesty from seeking immortality."
Good guy, he coincides with Xu Fu on this point.
Lu Ao vowed: "This method of naming place names and changing destiny by changing the earth's veins may have been taught by Xu Fu! What's more, this black man was originally a stupid Guizhou leader in Nanjun. Since the 21st year, he has learned it by himself without a teacher, and suddenly changed
He is extremely intelligent. Not only is he proficient in military formations, he is also able to instruct workers and farmers, and he can even command craftsmen to make exquisite artifacts such as water cone, paper, engraving and printing. Doesn’t Your Majesty find it strange?"
It's okay not to say it, but it's a bit weird to say it. Even if Heifu often holds a book and pretends to be studious to cover up his endless knowledge of later generations, it still can't solve the doubts of the wise man, Ye Teng, and the Mohist Azhong.
They have all raised questions, not to mention the enemy Lu Ao who was almost cheated to death by Hei Fu?
At this point, Lu Ao finally expressed his inference: "According to my estimation, it was Yinghuo Demon Star who came to the mortal world more than ten years ago and took over the black husband's house to open the heavenly orifice. He was cunning and wise, and he was also capable.
With the protection of luck, you can rise from the head of Guizhou to the Marquis of Guannei step by step!"
…
"absurd!"
This speculation was too outrageous. Hu Wujing refuted it: "It's all empty talk and there is no evidence..."
"The guilty party has evidence!"
Lu Ao said loudly: "As long as you look through the "Qin Ji" written by Tai Shiling, you will know that from the 27th year onwards, whether it was the expansion to the west, the expedition to the north, the expedition to the east, or the expedition to the south, they were all related to Heifu."
"I followed His Majesty on a tour to the west, leading to the expansion of the west. He took up the post of Northern Commander-in-Chief, and led two campaigns against the Xiongnu. He went to Jiaodong to serve as a governor, which triggered chaos in various fields. He also crossed the sea to attack Haidong, and finally conquered hundreds of people in the south.
Yue. No matter where this person goes, there will be wars. Can you find another general and minister like this in both the government and the public? The Lord of Yinghuo Star conquers war, which fits this person! Heifu, he is Yinghuo Star.
!”
"It's just a coincidence." Hu Wujing still didn't believe it, but peeked at Qin Shi Huang, who still had not expressed his opinion.
"Is it really a coincidence?"
Lu Ao smiled: "Yinghuo went eastward in a hurry, and there were soldiers gathered in the east; he went west in a hurry, and soldiers gathered in the west; he went north and south in a hurry, and there were soldiers gathered in the north and south. Previously, Yinghuo went south in a hurry, and it happened to be Heifu.
In the south, Kunfa bought people's hearts, and installed cronies from the old army. He attributed the resentment to the superiors and the virtues to himself. He wanted to turn the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty into his own black soldiers! The reason for the celestial phenomenon of Shouxin was because Heifu had ulterior motives.
With the intention of offending the imperial court, he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in his hands, and wants to cause chaos. Recently, hopefuls often say that there is an emperor's spirit in the south. If ignored, when the southern army marches northward, it may cause a catastrophe!"
This time, Hu Wujing did not dare to answer the question, but Qin Shihuang said after a long silence: "You and other magicians were reported by Hei Fu, do you have a grudge against him?"
Lu Ao knelt down and said: "I'm wronged! Although I am running away from the sinner, I only want to seek immortality for Your Majesty. Unexpectedly, I am blocked by others. I risk my life and come back this time, not to complain, but to expose this thief..."
Except for those who really believe that they can refine the elixir of immortality, people like Lu Ao know their own nature.
They are liars and gamblers! No matter how celestial they are, no matter the yin and yang and the five elements, they are all wrapped up in order to make the scam more noble.
Those who deceive are the princes and powerful people, and those who deceive are the supreme wealth.
Last time, Warlock Fang's scam was messed up by Hei Fu, and he lost all his money. Most of the people were trapped and killed. Lu Ao went into exile in Donghu, shivering in the cold winter of the North.
Until a Yan man named "Kuai Che", led by Han Zhong, found him and proposed a bold plan.
Let Warlock Fang return to the court, and let Lu Ao reuse the magical magic to control Qin Shihuang's plan!
"If you can succeed, you will be trusted by your majesty again. If Hei Fu is captured without hesitation, the great revenge of the past will be avenged. If Hei Fu does not obey, Qin will also be in chaos soon!"
But all this required Lu Ao to risk his life.
Of course Lu Ao would not agree immediately. He hesitated for two full years. It was not until he sneaked back to the Central Plains that he saw all kinds of strange celestial phenomena emerging one after another recently. Qin Shihuang even ordered the censor to summon people from all over the country who were kind to each other.
try!
This group of people bet on the boldness and carefulness of the king, on the king's greed for life and fear of death, and on the suspicion of the superiors towards the descendants of ministers!
The bet is that Emperor Qin Shihuang sitting in that seat, a lonely man, only believed in Han Feizi's words:
The master hires workers to sow and cultivate, spends his family wealth to prepare delicious food, and selects cloth to exchange for money for payment. He does not like the hired workers, but says: "This will make them willing to work hard." The hired workers cultivate the fields hard and quickly, using all their strength.
The reason for tidying up the borders skillfully is not because of love for the master, but because: "If you do this, the food will be rich and the coins will be easy to get."
There is no trust between people at all, everything is a dispute of interests! When a minister rises to a high position, holds a heavy army, and is freed from the control of the monarch, no matter what the past has been, the monarch will definitely become disloyal!
Lu Ao was sure that Qin Shihuang was such a person, that's why he killed Han Fei, and that's why he used Wang Jian and took away his power.
Qin Shihuang knocked on the case and said: "According to you, the transformation of Yinghuo Monster Star is omniscient and omnipotent. This is why Hei Fu has never disappointed me? In the future, will he still be so powerful that he will cause trouble and even destroy the Qin Dynasty?
"
Lu Ao said: "That's right! Your majesty is as traitorous as you are loyal!"
"Yes, great treachery is like loyalty, and the ruler and his ministers will fight a hundred times a day. This is true."
Qin Shihuang stood up and seemed to have finally made up his mind!
"I will never tolerate adultery!"
He pointed at Lu Ao and ordered to the guards:
"This sinner has deceived the public with his monstrous words. Do you really think that I am a foolish Shang Zhou who would kill a hero because of a divisive remark? Drag him down, throw him into a boiling pot, and cook him!"
…
"Am I a fatuous emperor?"
When Lu Ao outside stopped screaming and the boiling cauldron overflowed with thick soup, leaving only a cooked hand stretched out, Qin Shihuang suddenly asked Hu Wujing this.
Hu Wujing said quickly: "Your Majesty is wise and wise."
"Wisdom?"
Qin Shihuang smiled and said: "I'm afraid the people of the world don't think so anymore."
In addition to looking forward to his death, there are quite a few people who are secretly plotting and making plans for the future.
After speaking, Qin Shihuang said nothing more and only told Hu Wujing: "Everything that happened today will be recorded in the history books without leaving a single word."
"only!"
Hu Wujing watched the emperor go away with reverence. He did not know that after returning to the palace, Qin Shihuang shielded everyone, but he broke out into a violent cough, and the dark blood dyed the white silk red!
The emperor's condition seemed to be getting more and more serious, and more and more palace maids came to deal with him every time, and they were secretly dealt with more and more.
In the evening, after Qin Shihuang finally recovered, he summoned Zhao Gao, the commander of CRRC, to meet him and issued a secret order: "Change the patrol route. Originally going to Kuaiji via Hangu Pass, it was changed to via Wuguan Road, passing through Nanjun An."
Lu County, and then to Zhucheng, Hengshan County."
"Another system was drawn up and sent to Panyu. It was said that the Marquis of Changnan was the leader of Baiyue. He served the Qin Dynasty from the south to the north. He worked hard and made great achievements. Today, Nanhai, Guilin, and Xiangjun have been established. He ordered them to bring their meritorious generals and officials to meet the emperor in Zhucheng.
Set up an altar and worship him as Tonghou!"
"I want Hei Fu to be crowned a noble and noble man!"
