Ying Chengjiao sighed deeply and said, "Brother, shouldn't you reflect on this?"
He spread out his ten fingers and shook them.
"I haven't participated in politics for ten years. You haven't been able to win the prince's heart in ten years. How dare you ask me?"
The tone of questioning softened and became earnest.
"Confucius once told us - do not blame the heavens, do not blame others. Your Majesty brother cannot invite the princes, but I can. Your Majesty brother should look for the reasons within himself, instead of finding trouble with me."
The First Emperor narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
This time when he entered the Chang'an Jun Mansion, this boy seemed like a different person. He spoke offensively to me and was clearly threatening me.
This guy wants to provoke me.
What good will it do this guy to anger me? What is he seeking?
The First Emperor's face was as solid as ice, and the words that came out of his mouth could freeze a pool of water into a smooth mirror.
"I have explained it to you kindly. Is this your answer to me?"
Ying Chengjiao shrugged his shoulders, with an indifferent attitude, and said: "You shut down the National Guard Mansion, and you still won't let me seduce people? No one is as bullying as you are."
"You are being particularly presumptuous today."
"Alas, I'm so tired of pretending every day." Ying Chengjiao lay back, clapped his hands on his thighs, and said with a big grin: "Since you have discovered it, I won't pretend anymore. I'm going to be clear. I want to be the emperor. I gave this throne to you in the first place, so come here now."
In other words, there were only Ying Chengjiao and the First Emperor present.
If there was one more person present, Ying Chengjiao's words would have inevitably caused an uproar.
They openly wanted to rebel in front of the First Emperor. This kind of thing would seem absurd even if a novelist wrote it in a novel, but it actually happened in reality.
The First Emperor stared at Ying Chengjiao, as if trying to see what Ying Chengjiao was really thinking.
Ying Chengjiao did not avoid and looked back at the First Emperor.
In my mind, I thought of Qingmei wearing a maid outfit from Balenciaga and asking her master to punish her.
Dingxiang was wearing a teacher's uniform and holding a ruler, saying that if you study hard, the teacher will reward you.
The Vietnamese girl, wearing a lawyer's uniform, held the indictment and said that someone was suing you, a scumbag, for seducing so many innocent girls. Come to bed and talk it out.
"It's really rare. I saw the word ambition in your eyes." The First Emperor narrowed his eyes, stood up and said in surprise : "What you said is actually true."
Foolish brother, desire and ambition are the same color.
"Nonsense, do you think I'm joking?" Ying Chengjiao said, "The Imperial Household is mine, the Prime Minister's House is mine, and even the Meng family, which controls half of the Qin army, is mine. What do you have to fight me?"
Get these two useless titles of Guowei and Xiangbang off my head right now. I don’t want to work for you.
The reason why Ying Chengjiao was so abnormal today was that he found that Zhao Ji seemed to have been subdued, and was now in a weak state and could no longer restrain the First Emperor.
The only way to make the First Emperor give up the idea of ​​using him and make him work as a laborer is to make the First Emperor afraid of him.
Therefore, the drama today is not about brothers being friendly and respectful to each other, but about the younger brother succeeding the elder brother.
Looking at the First Emperor's increasingly ugly expression and the flames burning in each of his eyes, Ying Chengjiao was very satisfied.
If I were the emperor's brother, and a younger brother holding an important weapon jumped like this in front of me, letting him live would be the greatest kindness I could show. How could I possibly use him in a high position?
Ying Chengjiao and Tui Ren thought happily that not everyone was a time traveler like him.
The divine grace that ordinary people would love to have is a huge burden to him.
"When I go back, I will ask all the staff of the State Guard Office to stop their rest. I want to see how you can control the State Guard Office with only Wang Xi." The First Emperor said coldly.
Brother, are you not thinking straight? Is it necessary to go through so much trouble? Wouldn't it be enough if you just fired our lieutenant?
"Most of the officials in the National Guard's Office have served in the military, either themselves or their fathers. Most of them served under either Wang Qi or Meng Ao. Now Meng Ao and Wang Qi are standing behind me. As long as the position of National Guard is in my hands, the National Guard's Office will be under my control." Ying Chengjiao said coldly.
"Then let's give it a try." The First Emperor put the two pieces of paper on the table into his arms and said, "Ten years have passed, and the only person I haven't conquered is Wang Xi."
Turn around.
"King Zhuang of Chu has been in power for three years, but he has not issued any orders, and has not made any policy. The right Sima sat on the throne and hid with the king. He said: "There is a bird that has been resting on a hill in the south for three years without wings, flying or singing, and is silent and without any sound. What is its name?"
"The king said, 'If a person does not fly for three years, his wings will grow. If he does not fly or sing, he will be able to observe the people's behavior. Although he does not fly, he will soar into the sky. Although he does not sing, he will be able to startle people. If you explain this, Bu Gu will understand it.'
"After half a year, he began to govern the country himself. He dismissed ten people and promoted nine. He executed five ministers and promoted six scholars. The country was in great order. He led an army to punish Qi who had been defeated in Xuzhou, defeated Jin at Heyong, and united the princes at Song. He finally dominated the world.
"King Zhuang of Chu waited for three years to dominate the world, and you waited for ten years. Don't let me down. I am waiting for you to sideline me. This year, during the wax festival, you and I will offer sacrifices to heaven and earth to repay your kindness in giving up the throne ten years ago!"
The first emperor said a passage from Han Feizi Yu Lao compiled by his idol Han Fei:
King Zhuang of Chu King Zhuang of Chu ruled the State of Chu for three years, but he did not issue any decrees or manage state affairs.
Wu Ju, the right military commander, came to the king's carriage and told him a subtle riddle: "There is a bird that has been perched on Mount Fu in the south for three years. It has not spread its wings, has not flown, and has not chirped. It is silent. What kind of bird is this?"
King Zhuang of Chu said: "I have not spread my wings for three years in order to grow feathers. I have not flown or chirped in order to observe the attitude of the people. Although I have not flown yet, I will surely soar into the sky once I do. Although I have not chirped yet, I will surely startle people once I chirp. Don't worry, I know what you mean."
After half a year, King Zhuang of Chu personally took charge of state affairs.
Ten government decrees were abolished, nine were implemented, five treacherous ministers were executed, and six hermits were promoted, so the country was able to be greatly rectified.
He led his troops to attack the State of Qi, defeated the Qi army in Xuzhou, defeated the Jin army in Heyong, and gathered the princes in the State of Song, finally making the State of Chu dominate the world.
"Who wants to participate in the wax sacrifice with you? Your father gave up his throne in the beginning, so you can also give up your throne today. Why bother to pretend to participate in the wax sacrifice!" Ying Chengjiao jumped up and roared.
"You have taken the throne, and giving it to me is called giving up the throne." The First Emperor said coldly, "You have not taken the throne yet, what throne are you giving up? Prepare the wax offering."
The First Emperor turned and left.
Ying Chengjiao waited for the First Emperor to completely disappear from his sight, then he grabbed his head, screamed, and hit the stone table in front of him with all his strength.
Bang!
With a loud bang that shook the earth, the stone table broke into pieces.
A good stone table suddenly collapsed into a pile of rubble.
The Yue girl who was hiding in the dark appeared and walked to Ying Chengjiao. Looking at the pile of rubble on the ground, she wondered what was wrong with Ying Chengjiao, who asked her to call him husband.
"I want to seize his throne, and he said not to let him down?" Ying Chengjiao pointed at his head and said angrily, "Does he have any hidden illness?"
The Yue girl was speechless, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Ying Chengjiao became even stranger.
The King of Qin allowed you to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth together and compete for the throne in an open and aboveboard manner, and you are losing your temper here.
If the King of Qin has a hidden illness, do you have one too?
The First Emperor walked out of the courtyard and after a while he saw a servant.
He called the servant and asked him to inform Gai Nie, who had gone off to play somewhere, to come home.
The servant left in response.
Why are there so few servants in this young man's house? Oh, I forgot, half of the disciples of the Pijia Sect followed Fusu to Shangjun.
Bang!
There was a loud noise behind him, and the First Emperor looked in the direction of the sound, which was the direction of the courtyard he had just come out of.
This guy's martial arts skills are really good. The sound must have been the table or the stool being broken. He must have been very angry.
He is trying to seize the throne and he is pretending to be so.
The First Emperor sneered, put his hands behind his back, hummed an unknown Qin ballad, and walked towards the gate of Chang'an Jun's mansion.
When I wanted to seize power from Lu Buwei, I would not give up even a single ounce of strength, and I wished I could gather them all around me.
I have never seen anyone who wants to seize power and keeps sending money, troops and retainers away.
It's wishful thinking to just be lazy and do nothing.
Officials of the State Guards' Office with a salary of more than 80 stones were given a day off, and only one person, Wang Xi, was given a day off.
If I give leave to all officials in the Prime Minister's Office with an official salary of more than 80 stones, who can this brat bring out?
The First Emperor's heart was pounding.
For the First Emperor, it didn't matter who was the national commander, and he didn't care which force it was, because they were all working for him anyway.
Forget it, the plan has already begun, and all government achievements must be reported to the Prime Minister's Office, and the Prime Minister's Office cannot stop for a moment.
The First Emperor sighed softly, feeling a little unsatisfied.
Shangji was the annual assessment of the Qin Dynasty, and the assessment standards were also set by Shang Yang.
The Book of Lord Shang states:
A strong country knows thirteen numbers: the number of granaries and mouths, the number of able-bodied men and women, the number of the old and the weak, the number of officials and soldiers, the number of people who get food through speech, the number of those who benefit the people, and the number of horses, cattle, and straw.
The thirteen numbers are the number of granaries, treasuries, able-bodied men, able-bodied women, old people, infirm people, officials, scholars, people who make a living by lobbying, merchants, horses, cattle, and fodder for animals in various places.
Most Qin officials judged their performance based on these thirteen numbers.
There are rewards for good work and punishments for bad work.
But because the Qin State set the standard quite high, nine people had to be punished for every one person who was rewarded.
This is also the idea of ​​the Legalists, also proposed by Shang Yang: The king punishes nine out of ten and rewards one out of ten.
"His Majesty."
Gai Nie appeared from nowhere and stood behind the First Emperor.
The First Emperor's thoughts were disrupted. He turned his head to look at Gai Nie and actually saw a hint of depression on his expressionless face.
The First Emperor stepped forward and said as he walked, "Why am I not happy?"
"There are fewer and fewer people in the mansion." Gai Nie responded coldly.
The people here are specific, there are only two people.
One was a famous assassin from the State of Yan who was often beaten up by Gai Nie in the name of teaching him swordsmanship.
One is the former number one swordsman of Zhao State, the only one in Chang'an Jun's mansion who can compete with Gai Nie in swordsmanship.
Generally, apart from the sword, nothing can stir Gai Nie's mood.
"You are a man who values ​​friendship. Tell me who left?"
"Li Mu, Han Fei."
"…Tell me something I don't know."
"Nie doesn't know who your majesty doesn't know, please tell me."
"If I could tell you, why would I ask you? Well, that's it. The wax festival is coming up. I have a lot of things to prepare, and I don't have the time to compete with you."
"What does the wax offering have to do with your majesty?"
"I want to recite a long sacrificial text to worship the heaven and earth, and to worship the ghosts and gods. I will organize sacrificial songs and dances, and celebrate with the people. I pray that the coming year will be favorable, the autumn harvest will be abundant, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe..."
"Sacrificial texts are written for the sake of customs, and songs and dances are performed by actors..."
Your Majesty, you are just going to read an article and watch some singing and dancing. What is there to prepare for?
"...Gai Nie, after Zhao Gao comes back, you can continue to inspect the Xianyang Palace."
"only!"
"Forget it, you should stay with me."
"Your Majesty, you are not joking."
"When did I joke?"
"Your Majesty has previously asked Nie to resign from his position as the official in charge of issuing imperial seals and decrees and to inspect the Xianyang Palace."
"I never told you to resign from your post. I only told you to inspect the Xianyang Palace. You can do so during your rest period."
“…”
After five days, the seven-day calculation came to an end. In previous years, the result of the calculation was always one family happy while nine families were sad.
This year is a little different. There are more happy families, and the number has increased from 1 to 1.1.
The generals of the Meng family collectively resigned, resulting in hundreds of power vacancies among the generals in Xianyang City - forty-six resignation letters were submitted to the First Emperor, and there were even more that were not qualified to be submitted to the First Emperor.
Hundreds of military vacancies may sound like a lot, but they are insignificant when compared to the overall situation of the Qin State.
This plan was said to be an overall plan for the Qin State, but in fact it was only a plan for the area west of Hangu Pass.
The people in the six conquered countries were not yet stable at that time and were unable to participate in this plan.
The meritorious officials who had been granted fiefs in Qi, Chu and other places were very understanding and submitted petitions one after another, saying that their fiefs would certainly be able to participate in the next year's plan.
It was necessary to follow the right path. The First Emperor appointed fiefdoms among his ministers just to keep the order.
If he did not show his ability at this time, the First Emperor would replace him with someone else to take charge of the situation. The First Emperor had done this once before at the Xuanniao Hall Banquet.
No one wants to be like Zhang Youcheng at the Xuanniao Palace banquet, who lost his fiefdom because of a single word.
Kuaiji in Qi was the fief of Wei Liao, the former governor of the Qin Dynasty. Wei Liao had already arrived there three days ago.
Zhao Gao protected him all the way, and the royal chariot with four horses led the way.
All went smoothly for Wei Liao, and he arrived in Kuaiji in good health before the New Year.
Zhao Gao stayed at Wei Liao's grand residence, rested for three days, and then bid farewell to Wei Liao.
In front of the city gate of Kuaiji County, Wei Liao and a group of people came to see Zhao Gao off. All of these people were prominent figures in Kuaiji County.
The three giants of Kuaiji County, the county governor, the county chancellor, and the county lieutenant were all there.
There are also local powerful people.
Led by the leader of the Xiang clan, Xiang Liang, and the leader of the Huan clan, Huan Chu, there were hundreds of people in the army, giving Zhao Gao enough face.
"Stay, Gao can leave on his own."
Zhao Gao stood straight, bowed dignifiedly to the hundreds of people, and was about to drive his four-horse carriage back to Xianyang.
The leader Wei Liao sighed and said, "There are many strong men in the mountains and forests. If we lose the car, we can go back to Kuaiji."
The fact that Zhao Gao was able to fight against Gai Niefang shows that his martial arts skills are among the best in the world, and he deserves the title of peerless master.
He was able to travel thousands of miles from Xianyang to Kuaiji with Wei Liao, a burdensome old man, and now he is returning alone. How could anyone be able to kill him?
Wei Liao's words seemed to be a kind of advice, but in fact they were telling Zhao Gao .
If you, Zhao Gao, want, you can stay in Kuaiji and then say that you were killed by a strong man in the mountains.
In this day and age, there are too many people who die on the road.
Zhao Gao understood the implication of Wei Liao's words, but did not refuse openly. Instead, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness. If the king's carriage really overturned, I would be in the carriage, and there would be no chance of survival."
"Haha, Liang knows that Lord Zhao is very skilled. With Lord Zhao's skills, even if this car is chopped into pieces by a knife, Lord Zhao will not lose a hair." Xiang Liang, who was standing next to the prefect of Kuaiji County, laughed and said loudly.
Xiang Liang came from a prominent family. His father was Xiang Yan, the Marquis of Wu'an in the State of Chu. He was a fierce man who killed Li Xin and Meng Tian's 200,000 Qin troops.
Although Xiang Yan was finally defeated by Wang Jian, it was understandable - Wang Jian led 600,000 Qin troops, whose manpower and combat power completely crushed Xiang Yan.
Unlike his father's tall and strong appearance, he looks like a brave general.
Xiang Liang had a round face and a big belly. When he smiled, he gave people a friendly feeling and his words were very touching.
If he was not familiar with him, no one would be able to tell that he was the son of Xiang Yan, the famous general of the world and the Marquis of Chu Wu'an.
This look makes him look more like a dishonest businessman.
"Brother Xiang is right. When Lord Zhao stood in front of Chu, Chu didn't even have the courage to extend his hand." Huan Chu, who was beside Xiang Liang, took two steps forward and said loudly.
Compared with his good friend Xiang Liang, Huan Chu, with his beard and no big belly, looks more like Xiang Yan's son.
He and Xiang Liang had known each other since childhood and they were good friends.
Huan Chu's father-in-law was Xiang Yan's deputy general in Wang Jian's war to destroy Chu. The Huan family was also a military aristocratic family of the Chu State, only two levels lower than the Xiang family, which was at its peak at that time.
Zhao Gao chuckled as a way of thanking Xiang Yan, and did not respond to Huan Chu's praise.
In Zhao Gao's memory, Xiang Liang, who was walking in a swagger at this moment, as if representing the local wealthy family of Kuaiji, should be a wanted criminal by the Qin State.
"The national commander has a long way to go." Zhao Gao looked at Wei Liao strangely and said.
"Liao has been dismissed by Your Majesty and is no longer the lieutenant of the Great Qin State." Wei Liao chuckled and said, "I don't know who this new lieutenant is and how long he can serve Your Majesty."
"It's a slip of the tongue."
Zhao Gao spoke apologetically, climbed onto the four-horse carriage, wrapped the four reins around his hands twice, and pulled hard.
Xi Mi Mi~
Four horses stuttered in pain.
The front hooves were lifted into the air and the bird neighed loudly.
"Gao Qu Ye!"
Amid the loud roar of the horse, Zhao Gao suddenly shouted, his voice even louder than the horse's.
Crash~
The green leaves on the old trees on both sides of the road were shaken and fell down, but they had not yet landed on the four-horse royal chariot.
Wheels and wheels
The wheels of the four-horse royal chariot raised a cloud of dust and cut two deep ruts on the ground.
Zhao Gao set off.
Return to Xianyang.
Before Zhao Gao had finished his shout, Wei Liao turned and walked towards Kuaiji County.
The prefect of Kuaiji County, the county magistrate, the county lieutenant, Xiang Liang of the Xiang family, and Huan Chu of the Huan family exchanged glances.
Finally, Xiang Liang nodded slightly, took a few quick steps to catch up with Wei Liao, and smiled before he said anything, and his smile was very friendly.
"No more waiting for Lord Zhao..."
Before he could finish his words, Wei Liao gave him a look. Xiang Liang felt as if his whole body had been seen through, and he stopped talking involuntarily.
"Will Kuaiji be able to participate in the next year's budget?"
Wei Liao moved his compelling eyes and scanned the faces of all the people he brought out.
Everyone who is seen feels seen deep down.
"Yes! This year!" The county governor stepped forward with a smile and said, "Is Kuaiji no longer part of Qin territory? I will now ask the county to count the number of thirteen and report it to Xianyang."
"Forget about it this year, the war has just ended. It's not easy for you all, and it's not easy for Liao either."
Wei Liao walked slowly towards the city gate of Kuaiji County, ignoring other people, and was followed by the prefect of Kuaiji County.
When the others saw this scene, they all followed Captain Liao and the old man Wei Liao and walked slowly.
Some of the tall people, such as Huan Chu, would usually take two steps ahead of Wei Liao with one step.
Now he had to follow Wei Liao, but it was very difficult for him. He almost had to walk by rubbing his hands, or Wei Liao took four or five steps while he took one step. It was very funny.
When I arrived at the gate of Kuaiji County, I saw a scroll of bamboo slips hanging on the wall next to the gate.
There are two lines of words written on the bamboo slips from the rightmost side to the left:
Wanted.
Xiang Liang, son of Xiang Yan.
Further back, there is a figure, divided by bamboo strips.
He has a round face and curved eyebrows, it is clearly a portrait of Xiang Liang!
Maybe it's a coincidence.
Maybe it was intentional.
Wei Liao, surrounded by a crowd, was walking to the wanted bamboo slip.
Except for Wei Liao, everyone stopped tacitly, and hundreds of eyes stared behind Wei Liao.
Under the gaze of the group of people occupying the top position in Kuaiji County, Wei Liao passed by the wanted bamboo slips without even looking up.
His steps remained at the same frequency and slow pace as he entered Kuaiji County.
"Blessings can only last for three generations. Your Majesty is mean and unkind."
Wei Liao walked all the way to his own mansion and sat down inside the room, where he was the only one left. He spoke softly.
"Someone come."
A servant entered the room and took orders.
"The villain is here."
"Roast the two pigeons I brought back from Xianyang."
"only."
The servants came out as ordered.
After three breaths, he didn't hear Wei Liao continue speaking, and then he went out.
He muttered in confusion: "Xianyang is thousands of miles away from Kuaiji. The master brought these two pigeons from Xianyang, so he should have cherished them very much. Why did he roast them?"
When the chef was processing the two pigeons, he found that they were of medium size, not as big and fat as ordinary pigeons.
"Why are the pigeons in Xianyang so thin? Are they not being fed enough?"
The chef didn't know that big, fat pigeons are not good at flying.
Xiang family.
Huan Chu, who had not returned home, stared at Xiang Liang angrily and asked, "What does he mean by this?"
Xiang Liang chuckled and said, "Why are you angry at Liang?"
"Who is angry with you? I am angry with that Wei Liao!" Huan Chu shouted angrily, "Even if he can't read, he can still see the picture on the wanted poster! He neither said to arrest him nor took it down. What does this mean?"
"The meaning is very simple."
Xiang Liang handed Huan Chu a cup of hot water with a few green leaves in it. This was what the nobles of Kuaiji drank, similar to the tea in Xianyang.
"He won't help either of them. This Wei Liao is a powerful man."
"Pah!" Huan Chu had just taken a sip of tea when he spat it out upon hearing Xiang Liang praising Wei Liao. He said, "You think he's so powerful just by looking at you? If he's really powerful, he should just take down the wanted order and throw it away, and conspire with us to do great things!"
"I can't make sense with you. Anyway, this Wei Liao is not our enemy."
"Isn't it clear now that you've said this?"
"...When you said those words to Liang and Zhao Gao, Liang thought you had changed your character."
"What kind of personality do you want to change?" Huan Chu raised his eyebrows in confusion and said, "Zhao Gao is indeed very powerful. Chu really doesn't dare to raise a hand in front of him."
"…It's all right. You can go back now. Liang wants to go see if Yu'er has gotten into trouble. This child doesn't look like his brother at all."
"You don't look like Uncle Yan either." Huan Chu said casually, and then said seriously: "There is indeed something. News just came from Yingdu..."
"Wait a minute." Xiang Liang interrupted Huan Chu, "Which Yingdu?"
The relocation of the capital of the State of Chu is very interesting, and there is a small detail that is very different from that of other countries.
Take Qin as an example.
The Qin State moved its capital six times, and the capitals were Xiquanqiu, Weiyi, Pingyang, Yongcheng, Jingyang, Liyang, and Xianyang respectively.
The State of Chu moved its capital seven times, and the capitals were Yingdu, Yingdu, Yingdu, Yingdu, Yingdu, Yingdu, Yingdu, Yingdu, and Yingdu.
No matter the Chu State's capital was breached and the people fled and moved the capital, or the King of Chu moved the capital on his own initiative.
No matter what the city was called before the move, it became Yingdu after the move.
"Shouchun Shouchun." Huan Chu said quickly.
Xiang Liang nodded, motioning for him to continue.
"I spread nursery rhymes like 'Even if there are only three households in Chu, Chu will be the one to destroy Qin' as you said. I did spread them, but it was useless."
Xiang Liang frowned, looked at Huan Chu suspiciously, and said, "Useless?"
He suspected that Huan Chu had forgotten to spread the information and was now trying to shirk responsibility.
Because Xiang Liang's appearance was very different from his father, the task of winning the hearts of the people in Chu was handled by the tall and mighty Huan Chu, and Xiang Liang was mostly responsible for giving advice.
"It's useless! The songs you composed from Chu Ci were fine in the first month, and some people sang them. But a month later, the government in Shouchun..."
"Have you arrested someone?" Xiang Liang's eyes flashed, he grabbed Huan Chu's hand and said excitedly.
What we want is for the government to arrest people!
As long as they arrest people, it will be a second oppression of the Chu people, and it can incite local confrontation between Qin and Chu!
The next step is to secretly publicize the beautiful days when the King of Chu was alive, when the people of Chu had freedom of speech and could sing and dance without restraint.
Next step...
"Why are you arresting someone for humming a song?" Huan Chu said in confusion.
In one sentence, all of Xiang Liang's subsequent plans failed.
"The government spent a lot of money to gather local people who are good at singing Chu songs, and combined them with Qin songs to create folk songs. I have to say, the resulting folk songs are quite nice. Now everyone there is singing this, let me sing you a piece."
Huan Chu was humming a random tune as he spoke, but when he saw Xiang Liang's face darken immediately, he stopped talking in embarrassment.
Being angry sounds better than what you make up.
"Are you going to win over the people or be won over?" Xiang Liang shouted loudly. There was no friendliness at all on his round face, and it was full of majesty.
If anyone has seen Xiang Yan, the Lord of Chu Wu'an, and saw Xiang Liang's anger at this moment, he would definitely say that he is exactly like his father!
"The Qin people are competing with us for the hearts and minds of the Chu people, and are digging up the foundation for our great Chu to start a rebellion, and you still have the nerve to hum this!"
"Is it that serious?" Huan Chu was startled by Xiang Liang. Seeing that Xiang Liang's expression did not ease at all, he could not sit still. "I will go to Shouchun to spread the ballad you made up!"
"sit down!"
Xiang Liang pressed Huan Chu's shoulder with one palm and pushed Huan Chu back to his seat.
"We can only pass it on secretly, but Qin can spread it openly. It cannot be passed on." Xiang Liang sat back in his chair dejectedly, muttering in a low voice: "Qin is a man of iron and blood. They have always ignored such graceful recitations. How could they do such a thing as breaking a song with a ballad? It is impossible for him to be a Qin person to destroy the foundation of our Great Chu. Is it Dun Ruo, the strategist? Or is it Yao Jia, the famous scholar? No matter who it is, you really deserve to die..."
"This matter..." Huan Chu was extremely anxious, but he seemed a little afraid when Xiang Liang got angry, so he could only suppress his voice and said, "Are you just going to ignore it?"
"Walk."
Xiang Liang stood up suddenly.
"Where are you going?"
When Huan Chu asked, he had already stood up.
"Looking for Wei Liao, the owner of the Kuaiji fiefdom."
"Why are you looking for him? Didn't you say he wouldn't help either side?"
The two of them talked as they walked out the door at a very fast pace.
"He won't solve this for us, but maybe we can find out who came up with this plan to destroy the whole family. When two armies face each other, and we don't know the opposing commander, we will definitely lose this battle."
"If you know that, you will win?"
"If we know this, we can study the commander's personality traits, likes and dislikes based on his life story. We can then formulate targeted strategies based on him. In Shouchun, victory or defeat does not count. This man must die!"
"It's not us, it's you! You make the strategy, and Chu is only responsible for the execution."
Far away in Xianyang, Ying Chengjiao, who was furious with the First Emperor, had no idea about this.
The brief comment he made on the memorial made Xiang Liang, who was far away in Kuaiji, put him on the kill list.
There was such a small episode in Kuaiji, Qi, far away from the center of the Qin Empire, but it will not have any impact on the current situation in the world.
What really had a huge impact on the world was the weakest of the seven major powers in the Warring States Period, the Land of Han.
The New Year has not yet arrived.
The wax sacrifice has not been held.
The merchant Lu Buwei and the sweeping monk Lu Goujian were already returning to Xianyang in their carriages.
Behind them is a Han land that has been reshuffled and is temporarily ruled by the common people rather than the Han family.
Because Han was very close to Xianyang, it was not divided among anyone.
This time, when submitting the plan, the First Emperor also included the Han territory in the scope of assessment and sent an envoy to the Han territory.
This envoy, who was sent to Han by the First Emperor to ask the governors of various cities and counties in Han to report plans, witnessed a riot with his own eyes.
A riot he had never heard of, which was not initiated by nobles but by the common people and was successful.
These days.
Zhang Liang released countless pigeons every day, and the sky of Xinzheng was filled with the chirping pigeons.
There were so many homing pigeons that the hawks, which were trained to catch and eat Lü Buwei's homing pigeons, couldn't tell which were their own.
I killed several of them by mistake, which added up to several meals.
The kites were very happy, but Zhang Liang, the head of the Zhang family who controlled the kites' owners, was not happy at all.
"Idiots! A bunch of idiots! What on earth are they thinking! If the food supply collapses, everyone will be doomed!"
Zhang Liang released another carrier pigeon from his hand and roared in anger.
That handsome face, which was more handsome than a woman's, was completely distorted, and there was no longer any beauty in it.
Zhang Liang couldn't understand why he had explained the pros and cons so clearly.

Qi used cloth to defeat Lu, and used deer to defeat Chu, which took one or two years.
In the Han area, the development in just a few days is comparable to that of the Lu and Chu states in half a year!
Flutter
A carrier pigeon flew down from the sky and landed on Zhang Liang's shoulder.
Zhang Liang pulled the carrier pigeon off his shoulder. The pigeon was almost crushed to death and let out a wail.
After taking the letter off the pigeon's leg and unfolding it, Zhang Liang's pupils contracted sharply.
He had never been afraid of intelligence before, but at this moment his whole body was trembling.
"Ying Chengjiao! What are you going to do? What on earth are you going to do? Are you going to destroy this world? Don't forget that this world now belongs to the Ying family. Are you going to destroy your Ying family's world?"

His brain went dizzy and he collapsed to the ground.
The letter fell and flipped in the wind.
It fell to the ground, right side up.
