Chapter four hundred and fiftieth undercurrents surging
At the court meeting the next day, with Li Si's tacit consent, a minister from the third rank of Zhongshu Province stepped forward, bowed to Hu Hai and said: "Your Majesty, since Your Majesty has already planned to build the imperial mausoleum, why is it so late?
?I request to recruit 700,000 young men for the construction of the imperial mausoleum in Lishan Mountain."
Hu Hai subconsciously looked at Li Si and Zhao Gao and asked, "Does it take so many people to build the imperial mausoleum?"
Li Si took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty clearly knows that the labor required to build the imperial mausoleum was proposed by everyone in the Young Mansion after accurate calculation. As far as I can see, the Young Mansion will not cheat on such a stupid matter.
"
Zhao Gao glanced at Li Si who was so active, and stepped forward to agree: "Although I don't understand the difficulty of building the imperial mausoleum and the amount of manpower and material resources required, the Shaofu has absorbed many masters of the Mohist organization. What they calculated must be
It’s unmistakable.”
Li Si then added in a nonchalant manner: "The new young master, Lin Ze, is very smart and will not deceive His Majesty."
Hearing Lin Ze's name, Hu Hai couldn't help but feel a little startled. After taking a few breaths, he said decisively: "Publish my decree and inform the world that 700,000 young people will be recruited to build the imperial mausoleum on Mount Li. Prime Minister Li Si is fully responsible for this matter.
No matter what method you use, I just want the result."
Li Si was stunned when he heard this, and glanced at Hu Hai in surprise. His tone was a bit like Emperor Qin, and then he laughed secretly. He was far worse than Emperor Qin. He cupped his hands and replied: "I obey the order."
Immediately afterwards, with Li Si's secret promotion and Zhao Gao's secret cooperation, the order to recruit 700,000 people was quickly issued from Chang'an and spread to all provinces.
When the news reached the ears of the people, everyone's expression changed, and the government began to recruit corvees again.
However, this news fell into the ears of another group of people, and they did not hesitate to share the good news.
In Zhao Di, a house in Julu City, a group of old people and young people were sitting in separate seats in the lobby. On the wall hung three words "Restore the National Assembly" written in six different languages.
One of the old men laughed heartily and said: "What good news. Zhao Zheng died, the eldest son was assassinated, and the youngest son succeeded. This is simply God blessing us."
A young man next to him stood up excitedly, danced and said: "In my opinion, our nobles from the six countries should immediately raise their flags, work together to overthrow the violent Qin, and restore the ancestral temples of the six countries today."
Everyone in the hall responded one after another and made a lot of noise.
Only a few people sitting in the upper seats remained calm.
A heroic middle-aged man sitting at the head frowned and couldn't help scolding: "Keep your voice down, you are all descendants of the nobility. How is your behavior different from that untouchable? You have lost your identity for nothing.
Disgrace our ancestors."
The commotion in the lobby immediately stopped. The young man who cheered first turned red in the face. He looked at the heroic man and dared not speak in anger.
The leading middle-aged man looked at the reactions of these people in the lobby, nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at the person sitting on his right and asked: "The heroes are so angry that they want to rebel. What do you think, Brother Xiang Liang?"
Xiang Liang, who was sitting in the second seat, straightened his body and replied: "The six countries have always been united. I am weak in strength and short-sighted. I dare not mislead everyone easily. Brother Wu Chen, why don't you ask for your opinions?"
At the same time, he pointed to the opposite side of him and asked, "What do you think, Brother Tian Dan?"
Tian Dan, who was sitting opposite Xiang Liang, coughed lightly and said, "Brother Xiang Liang, why should you belittle yourself? Everyone knows that when the Chu State was destroyed, there was a proverb circulating: Although Chu has three families, the destruction of Qin must be Chu. Now the moment of Qin's destruction is about to begin.
When we arrive, we still need Brother Xiang Liang to raise his arms and lead us to jointly overthrow the violent Qin. Once we succeed, we will definitely respect Chu as the leader of the world."
As soon as these words came out, countless people in the lobby looked at Xiang Liang with flashing eyes.
Xiang Liang's face darkened when he heard this, and he cursed secretly: I don't know who the bastard released this proverb. For a long time, black-clothed guards were rampant in Chu. Even several members of the Xiang family disappeared inexplicably. If the Xiang family hadn't caught up with them,
After Fusu, I don’t know what kind of crimes the Xiang family will be accused of one day, and their family will be confiscated and exterminated.
Now Tian Dan throws out a proverb and wants me, Chu State, to take the lead and take the lead in rebelling against Qin. Do you really think that I, Xiang Liang, are a fool?
Xiang Liang did not respond. He turned to look at a young man behind him and said, "Brother Zhang Liang has a well-known family. As a direct disciple of Duke Huang Shi, he must be very resourceful. I wonder what I think of this?"
Zhang Liang heard this and said with a sneer: "In my opinion, you are looking for death."
One sentence made everyone in the lobby angry, and the military official sitting at the head had an extremely ugly expression.
Upon seeing this, Xiang Liang quickly covered up for Zhang Liang and said, "Don't be impatient, please listen to what brother Zhang Liang has to say first."
Zhang Liang stood up, looked around the lobby, and said with a look of disdain: "Why, you think I made a mistake? Do you really think that Bao Qin is a soft persimmon, and you can't control it?"
"Don't you know that Bao Qin still has millions of elite soldiers and countless martial arts masters under his command. With the few people you and others have secretly trained, the total is less than 100,000. How can you compete with others?"
Someone retorted on the spot: "A violent attack on Qin is unpopular. There are countless people in the world who miss their homeland. As long as we hold the flag high, people all over the world will definitely gather in crowds. Why should we fear that he will attack Qin's elite soldiers?"
Zhang Liang sneered and said: "In the past, the six kingdoms still existed, but they could not defeat the Qin soldiers. Now that the six kingdoms have been destroyed for many years, do you have confidence?"
The man was speechless, but still looked dissatisfied.
Zhang Liang continued: "Putting this aside, there are still two masters of the Qin Dynasty who are stationed in Chang'an. Can you guys shake the Qin Dynasty, which is thousands of miles away?"
As soon as the word "grandmaster" came out, some people who were originally dissatisfied instantly became mournful. Everyone here is a descendant of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, and their families have a long history, so they fully understand the horror of the "grandmaster" realm. One person is not just a compliment.
The most obvious example is that the decline of the Great Zhou Dynasty was mainly due to the fall of Duke Zhou, a strong man in the realm of soul and soul, who was unable to control the world, which led to the rise of princes.
Moreover, when the Great Zhou Dynasty fell, there were more than a hundred vassal states in the world. However, within a hundred years, only seven kingdoms and their vassals were left. The biggest reason was that the seven kingdoms had their masters in charge, but the other vassal states did not.
Wu Yue, Zheng Lu, who were once prominent, were no weaker than the Seven Kingdoms, but once they lost their master, it didn't take long before even Guo Zuo could not be saved.
Zhang Liang then dropped the third big news: "Do you really think Zhao Zheng is dead?"
At this time, the military minister Xiang Liang and others who were sitting in the upper position could not sit still. They stood up one after another and asked eagerly: "What does this mean?"
"Hu Hai has succeeded to the throne, how could Zhao Zheng not be dead?"
"The coffins and coffins have all been put into the mausoleum, how can there be any falsehoods?"
Zhang Liang saw everyone panic, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and he cupped his hands and said: "As you all know, I have a good teacher from Teacher Huang Shi. Teacher Huang Shi's fortune-telling technique is famous all over the world. As a direct disciple, I naturally got this
A few days ago, after I received the news of Zhao Zheng's death, I specially conducted divination and observed the sky at night, and found that although the Emperor Zhao Zheng's star was extremely dim and almost undetectable, it had not fallen."
In the lobby, everyone's expressions changed. If Zhao Zheng were here, how could there be any hope of restoring the country?
Wu Chen took a step forward, grabbed Zhang Liang's hand and said, "Is this true?"
Zhang Liang looked at him calmly and said, "Do you think it is necessary for me to lie?"
Wu Chen let go of Zhang Liang's hand and took three steps back, his face pale.
Only Xiang Liang bowed to Zhang Liang and said: "Brother Zhang Liang knows this, but he still comes to attend this meeting. He must be aware of it. I wonder what I think of this matter?"
Zhang Liang bowed and returned the greeting: "According to Liang's observation, although the Zhao Zheng Emperor Star has not fallen, it is still in extremely bad condition. Although it is not dead, I am afraid it will not be able to make any big waves. You don't need to worry too much."
Everyone...
You were the one who said he was not dead, and you were the one who said there was no need to worry. What kind of trouble are you trying to make?
Tian Dan couldn't help but said: "Brother Zhang Liang, after saying so much, just tell me what to do. Is this country going to recover or not? Don't tell everyone all the lies, let's talk about it with real facts.
Bar."
Zhang Liang said with a serious face: "Of course we want to restore the country, but we can't do it too hastily."
The military official said angrily: "Are we just going to wait like this? Wait for generations until one day, Bao Qin himself will perish?"
Zhang Liang shook his head and said: "Of course not. Why don't you guys do what you did last year and find someone to test it out?"
"If Bao Qin is unable to put down the rebellion in the face of rebellion, it means that Bao Qin's strength is no longer there. If we continue to hold high the banner, wouldn't it be better to put ourselves in danger?"
Xiang Liang frowned and said, "But what if Bao Qin can quickly put down the rebellion?"
Zhang Liang said with a serious face: "Then we can only wait. Brother Xiang, think about it, how many years have we accumulated to have such a little strength? If it were all lost in one accident, how many years would you have to save to recover?"
come over?"
"After repeating this a few times, everyone should stop thinking about restoring the country. As Brother Wu Chen said, wait until the Qin Dynasty perishes on its own."
Tian Dan and others looked at each other and made up their minds and said: "As Brother Zhang Liang said, I sent someone to test first, but who should I choose?"
Zhang Liang thought for a while and said: "How about one person from each of the six countries, and then draw lots to choose one? In order to test the strength of Bao Qin, I suggest that he must be a sixth-grade peak warrior."
