Qin Official

"Brother said not long ago that before the sun sets, the stars will hardly appear. If the First Emperor does not die, who in this huge world would dare to openly oppose Qin? Now that Qin Shihuang has been assassinated, brother, it is time to raise the banner of anti-Qin!"

The boulder fell into the water, and the waves it caused spread outward in circles, and finally reached Di County, Linzi County in the north. After Tian Rong learned about the big event that happened in Junan, he rushed back to his mansion and told his brother Tian Dan about it.

Tian Rong has a strong personality, somewhat similar to his younger brother Tian Heng who would rather go into exile and become a pirate than live under Qin rule. At this moment, I tried my best to persuade Tian Dan that the Tian family in Di County should seize this good opportunity and re-establish the banner of restoration.

But Tian Dan was more strategic and hesitant than Tian Rong. He still had doubts about the news and pondered:

"The news I have received so far is all passed down by word of mouth from light knights and merchants. It may be that someone imitated Jing Ke and offered the elixir of death, approached the emperor within five steps and stabbed him. Or it is said that a hero led an ambush with his retainers and penetrated the golden chariot with a spear. , stabbed Qin Shihuang to death, and some say it was Dazhui... There are too many rumors, and there are too many discrepancies. Although it is said that Qin Shihuang is dead in the end, we are not sure yet..."

The world that the Tian brothers were looking forward to did not appear, and the government could not find out the exact news: in this era, there was no radio or television. The government mainly relied on mail to communicate documents, and the people could only rely on word of mouth. .

The imperial court would not send a message to the small counties below saying that "the emperor is not dead." The documents received by Di County only asked them to strengthen martial law, ban light knights, and arrest some suspicious outsiders, that's all.

Therefore, Tian Rong feels that the reason why the government is acting like this is because Qin Shihuang is actually dead, but they just did not announce the funeral secretly...

Tian Dan thought it would be better to wait a little longer: "What we are planning is the fault of the Yi clan. If we are not careful, I am afraid that the Tian family in Di County will be extinct, so we should wait a little longer..."

If Qin Shihuang is really dead, news will come soon. If he is not dead, the Tian family in Di County can still continue to lie dormant...

"Brother, how long do you have to wait?"

However, Tian Rong broke out and said excitedly: "Back then, when King Jian of Qi wanted to enter the Qin Dynasty, Sima Hengji of Yongmen rode in front of him and persuaded: Qi is thousands of miles away, and there are millions of soldiers. Doctors of the three Jin Dynasties, None of them surrendered to Qin, but there were hundreds of people between A and Juan. The king and his hundreds of thousands of people sent envoys to take over the hometown of the three Jin Dynasties, and they could enter at the pass of Jin. The officials of Yan and Ying of Chu did not want to Surrender to Qin, and hundreds of people are descending in the south of the city. The king and his troops of one hundred thousand will take over Chu's homeland, and then Wuguan can enter. In this way, Qi's power can be established, and Qin can be destroyed!"

"However, King Jian of Qi was so cowardly that he surrendered without a fight and surrendered to Qin Shihuang in the west, hoping to continue to be a prince. The result? Zhao Zheng deceived King Qi and gave up the two thousand miles of Qi to others, and King Jian of Qi was also punished He was starving to death among the pines and cypresses! The people of Qi mourned him and sang for him, "Songs are evil! Baixie! Those who live in communism, I will tolerate you!"

Speaking of the past when his motherland was destroyed, Tian Rong, as a member of the royal clan of King Qi, still gritted his teeth. Seeing a look of emotion on Tian Dan's face, he continued:

"The State of Qi has been dead for six years. Not only has it lost its land, but also its writings, weights and measures, have been wiped out by Qin officials and replaced by Qin Zhuan Qin Sheng. Recently, the Dog Emperor even moved all the fields in Jiaodong away, including their They were also deprived of their surnames and were only called the first to eighth ones. What a shame and a great disgrace!"

"It's obvious that Qin Shihuang and Qin officials are targeting the fields. I'm afraid it won't be long before the same disaster happens to the fields in Linzi, Langya, and Jibei. Could it be that my brother wants to wait until my family is also affected? Do you regret moving to a desolate land in the west and being named a lowly number?"

After saying this, Tian Rong bowed to the ground:

"Although we don't know whether Qin Shihuang is dead or injured, he must have been assassinated. People in Guandong are panicking and heroes from all over the country are ready to take action. This is a great opportunity for the Tian family to avenge their shame. Brother, you are so indecisive because you want to imitate Wang Jian of Qi. Finally, Starve to death among the pines and cypresses?"

"What Brother Rong said is very good, but God will not accept it, but you will be blamed for it!"

Tian Dan was finally persuaded. Tian Rong was right. The Zhutians were in critical danger. It was because of Heifu's rule in Jiaodong. The conflict between the Qin Dynasty and the Qi Zhutians was several times more intense than in history! Everyone will think that the Yeyitian clan was relocated by the Yi clan, the Motian clan, etc., will it be their turn next?

Failure to do something will lead to quick death, while failure to do something will lead to slow death. The results are the same. At present, rumors are spreading all over the country, and everyone suspects that Qin Shihuang has been assassinated. This is a good opportunity to take a chance...

After the two brothers agreed, they quickly began to discuss the date and method of the incident.

As the head of the family, Tian Dan often hesitated when things happened, but once he made up his mind, he seemed to be quite strategic. He said to Tian Rong:

"First, we must immediately send people out to sea to the islands north of Jiaodong to inform A Heng and Yongmen Sima of the matter! Just say that Qin Shi Huangdi is dead and the time has come to restore the Qin Dynasty!"

Sima Yongmen was a die-hard anti-Qin faction. When Qi fell, he ran to the seaside and escaped with Qi Zhoushi, stationed on the islands of Shaohai (Miaodao Islands, Changdao County, Shandong). Those islands are dotted all over and can be inhabited by thousands or dozens of people. The total number may be three or four thousand, and there are hundreds of ships at sea. It is not a small force.

Tian Heng went to sea six years ago, and now among the "bandits" in Jiaobei, his status is second only to Sima Yongmen, and he has always been in contact with Tian Dan and Tian Rong.

When Qin Shihuang was patrolling the east and the Jiaodong army gathered, they did not dare to make any mistakes. But now, if they land in a surprise attack, they can serve as reinforcements for all the fields in Qi!

"In addition to foreign aid, we must also have internal support so that we can cooperate internally and externally to achieve great things together."

Tian Dan said: "Although Qin has banned light knights and confiscated weapons, the loyal people among the people cannot be killed. People have to be sent to the market to encourage the light knights and heroes lurking among them. Maybe they can follow the example of Wang Sunjia..."

The so-called "Wang Sun Jia Incident" refers to the five kingdoms' attack on Qi decades ago. After King Min of Qi fled, he was killed in Judu by the Chu general Nao Chi. Qi was on the verge of destruction and was about to be divided among the great powers.

At this time, in addition to Tian Dan who stood firm in Jimo City, another person stood up, and that was Wang Sunjia, the bodyguard of King Qi Min.

At that time Wangsun Jia was only fifteen years old. When he saw Naochi killing King Min of Qi and all the officials and soldiers were scattered, he went to the market of Judu alone and said: "Naochi has brought chaos to Qi and killed King Min. I want to Anyone who wants to kill me will show his favor to the right!"

A dramatic scene appeared. In the market, four hundred light martial arts warriors who were strangers to him stood up, bared their right arms, picked up weapons and followed Wang Sunjia. The crowd launched a sudden attack on Naochi, and finally killed Naochi, supported King Qi Xiang, and Qi State was able to survive...

The light knights have always been an important force in Qi State. Lord Mengchang is independent from the princes by gathering a group of knights. These rangers who were born in the common people in Luxiang were often strong-willed, arrogant, and unwilling to give in to each other. They live by the sword in their hands and hang out in the world. What they value most is reputation and face, so they fight for a moment of courage when they disagree.

However, because of this, Qingxia martial arts also pays great attention to loyalty.

As the saying goes, more dogs will be slaughtered if you are righteous. When the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, there are often loyal and brave people among the young knights who emerge in endlessly. Back then, they could get angry and follow Wang Sunjia to kill Naochi. Now, they can also be used by brothers Tian Dan.

"You and I were so good at Ren Xia back then, and we had a good relationship with each other, but now it finally comes in handy..."

Tian Dan was very confident. With the reputation of the three brothers and his dissatisfaction with the Qin Dynasty in Qingxia martial arts, he raised his arms and called for more than 400 people from Di County to respond.

As for the knight-errants on the streets of Linzi, there are thousands of them. Although these people hide their swords and do lowly things due to Qin's laws, their chivalrous heart has not died yet! When drinking heavily at night, there are many people in the shabby houses who curse the Qin Dynasty. The Tian brothers often help them and make friends secretly.

Xia used force to break the ban. As harsh as Qin's laws were to Qing Xia, Qing Xia hated the Qin Dynasty!

The governor of Jiaodong County was kind to the head of Guizhou, allowing Lu Zuo to have land, and there was an endless stream of people who responded. However, those people with a light knight background would rather have no land and live a miserable life than eat this food!

Therefore, this group of people is the biggest internal support of the Tian brothers.

After arranging manpower to spread the news in all the counties in Qi, and mobilizing the Qingxia, Tian Dan said: "There is also a third point, we can't just rely on the strength of our family, we have to work together with all the fields. Although you and I He is famous among light heroes, but after all, he is young and has a distant bloodline. It is difficult to command the elders of the same clan. He has to find someone who can be recognized by Moroda and do things in his name..."

Tian Rong immediately understood: "The younger brother of King Qi Jian, Tian Jia, is hiding in Qiancheng County not far from here. He is hiding incognito. I have helped him, so I will send someone to pick him up!"

Tian Dan attacked the case and said: "It's very good. The young master pretends to have a reputation as a virtuous man. Now if he wants to do something big, he must be the one to do it. In this way, the banner of restoration will be established!"

He said ambitiously: "In this way, with a three-pronged approach, the four counties and seventy-two cities in the country will be like a boiling cauldron, and the two thousand miles of rivers and mountains will change their color in one day. It is absolutely not impossible! You and I can do it too." Make your contribution as Lord Anping and your reputation will last forever!"

…

The ripples continued to sway and spread, and the counties in Qidi were in a delicate state in mid-March.

A light boat went out to sea along the Jishui River from Di County. An old boatman who was familiar with the hydrology took the Tian family's children, paddled and sculled, bypassed the patrolling Jiaodong boat division, and headed for Salmon Island where bandits gathered...

In the streets of Di County, rumors that "Qin Shihuang had been assassinated and died" gradually spread. The rangers who had been favored by the Tian Dan brothers gathered quietly at nightfall, discussing something in low voices, with the bonfire reflecting their faces. The face is dark and unclear...

It was not just the Tian Dan brothers who made small moves. The fields in Jiaodong were forcibly relocated, which made the Tian nobles everywhere feel a sense of urgency. So in Linzi, Jibei, Xuejun, and Langya, people everywhere spread the gossip about "the emperor's death."

When ordinary people in Guizhou heard about it, they just said oh, and then began to worry about whether the world would be in chaos, making their livelihood more difficult. Qingxia, who hated the harsh rule of the Qin Dynasty, secretly applauded after hearing this.

The nobles in various fields even celebrated with their crowns.

Everyone has been suppressed by this mountain for too long. Zhutian longs to restore the Qi Kingdom, while Qingxia longs for some changes in the world and that the freedom and happiness of the past can be restored...

Rumors spread everywhere, covering seventy-two cities and two thousand miles of rivers and mountains, like a cauldron about to boil. Dangerous white smoke emerged from every city. The gossip in the market became more and more day by day, and it seemed that the sky was full of boiling. potential.

Even in Jimo City, Jiaodong, where all the fields have been cleared and security is the best, there are still people spreading rumors secretly.

Those young and strong men in brown clothes and unkempt young men with weak crowns were all young knights in the past. Although they did not have swords at their waists, they were either carrying burdens or pushing chariots, doing their own menial jobs, but they met on the road. The hints in each other’s eyes are indispensable...

People are in panic, anyone can see it, if this continues, chaos will arise all over the land!

In this crisis-ridden atmosphere, a crisp gong sounded from the urban and rural schools in Jimo!

…

"Bang bang bang!"

The continuous sound of gongs spread from the east to the west of the inner city of Jimo, stopping the gossip in the market. Scholars, merchants, and farmers all raised their heads to listen...

A year ago, when the governor of Heifu arrived in Jimo for the first time, some Confucian scholars thought that the government wanted to ban private education, so they caused trouble in the township school. Afterwards, Heifu only punished the culprit and followed Zheng Zichan's example and did not destroy the township school. The rules were changed. From now on, scholars no longer have the right to beat drums to convene people for public discussion. Only the government has this power!

From then on, whenever any decree was promulgated, gongs and drums would be beaten to convene.

Hearing the sound of gongs at this time, everyone in Jimo City subconsciously walked towards that direction. When they arrived outside the rural school, the crowds coming from all directions were already rubbing shoulders and it was so crowded.

Although Sheriff Heifu said that the rural school is a window for communication between the government and the people, this window is not close to the people at all. The common people are blocked ten steps away, and the solemn Qin soldiers holding weapons guard the officials. No one can get close to him.

"It's the Sheriff!"

Those who were close to the front, those with sharp eyes, all saw standing on the drum stage of the township school, an official of medium height, wearing a minister's crown, black robes, green ribbon and silver seal, standing with a sword!

It is Heifu, the governor of Jiaodong County!

Everyone was talking a lot. They all wanted to know what the county magistrate wanted to say when he summoned everyone today.

Seeing that the crowd was almost gathered, Hei Fu nodded and started writing. Chen Ping next to him immediately handed over a trumpet made of rolled copper...

Of course, this was Heifu's invention. Jimo officials used to summon people to the township schools to issue government orders based on the weak amplification ability of this thing. Heifu rarely spoke in person, and at most stood nearby to control the situation.

But today, Heifu personally took the horn, cleared his throat and said:

"This county governor is here today to summon everyone in the county for one thing only, and that is to follow His Majesty's order to announce his oral decree!"

"Emperor's Oral Oral?"

Everyone looked at each other in shock. Didn't they say that Emperor Qin Shi Huang had been assassinated? Where did the oral message come from?

"He must be dead. The government said this to reassure people, or it was a posthumous edict..."

Some people who wished that Qin Shihuang would die and the world would immediately become chaotic, were whispering in the crowd, but it quickly became quiet because Hei Fu started talking again!

"Your Majesty has something to tell the people of Jiaodong."

Heifu glanced at the crowd, shouted into the brass trumpet word by word:

"I am safe, and so is the world! How is Qian Shou safe?"
