Qin Official

"Whoever destroys Qin is evil?"

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 virtues in the Qin Dynasty were invincible. Today, the beginning of the Shui Virtue, the beginning of the new year, and the greetings all started on the first day of October. , clothes, banners and festival flags are all black."

From then on, Qin, which had been advocating black since Qin Wenggong, officially designated this color as the correct color stipulated by law.

Now Lu Ao said that the heavenly book he had obtained predicted that the one who would destroy Qin would be black, which sounded like "I am the one who killed me", which was 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 kind of black that Great Qin advocates. According to my speculation, it may be pointing to one person, and the other person is Yinghuo Star!"

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 it was at midnight that the meteors fell in Dongjun. The next day, Officials arrived and found inscriptions on it..."

"This may have been done by the head of the Six Kingdoms of Guizhou. Your Majesty will live forever, and the Qin Dynasty will be passed down for eternity. How can we say that the land will be divided after death? However, the strange celestial phenomena are mostly warnings from the Emperor of Heaven to the human world. The astronomical order is eastward, southward, and westward. , the North is going against the will, I think this is the Emperor of Heaven reminding Your Majesty that someone wants to cause trouble. Not only are there signs of what will happen, but also of 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 heavenly 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 Taishi to order Hu Wujing."

After Hu Wujing arrived in a hurry, he asked and found out that there was indeed a kind of meteor, which was called "Tiangu". As for whether the Dongjun meteorite fit the criteria, 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. It looks like a raccoon dog with a white head, and its sound is like a pomegranate, which can ward off evil. There is Bailuyuan in the west of Guanzhongli Mountain, and there is Goujiao Fort on it. When Duke Xianggang of Qin came, the Heavenly Dog would come down. Whenever there was a thief, the Heavenly Dog would bark and protect him, so the fort would 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 head 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", Qin Shihuang considered him to be the "black dog" in his dream. Besides that person, who else could there be?

"That's right, Heifu..."

Lu Ao said 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, 'The one who 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 signaled 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 Guizhou, how can he know the Yin Yang Alchemy?"

Lu Ao bowed eagerly 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 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 swore firmly: "This method of naming places 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 from 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, but he is also able to instruct workers and farmers. 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 Mohist Azhong They have all raised questions, not to mention the enemy Lu Ao who was almost tricked 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, and then he could open the heavenly orifice. He was cunning and wise, and he was also treacherous. Only with the protection of good luck can you be promoted 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 Taishi Ling's "Qin Ji", you will know that from the 27th year onwards, whether it was the expansion to the west, the north, the east or 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 fought two campaigns against the Xiongnu. He went to Jiaodong as a governor, which triggered chaos in various fields, and even crossed the sea to attack Haidong. Finally, he conquered hundreds of people in the south. Yue. No matter where this person goes, there will be war. Can you find another general and minister like this in the government and the public? The Lord of Yinghuo Star conquers war, which fits this person! Hei Fu, 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 to ascribe resentment to the superiors and attribute virtue to himself. He wanted to turn the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty into his own black soldiers! The reason for the celestial phenomena 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 north, it may cause a catastrophe!"

This time, Hu Wujing did not dare to answer any more, and 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 His 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 make the elixir of immortality, people like Lu Ao know their own nature.

They are liars and gamblers! No matter how celestial beings are, no matter how yin and yang the five elements are, 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 strategy.

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 requires Lu Ao to bet 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 and sympathizing with 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 ministers' descendants!

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's wealth to prepare delicious food, and selects cloth to exchange for coins in order to be paid. He does not like the hired workers, but says: "Do this so that they are willing to work hard." The hired workers plowed the fields hard and quickly, and tidied the borders with all their skills, not because they loved their masters, but because they said: "If you do this, the food will be plentiful and the money will be easy to get."

There is no trust between people at all, everything is a conflict of interests! When a minister rises to a high position, holds a heavy army, and escapes the control of the monarch, no matter what happened in the past, 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 back his power.

Qin Shihuang knocked on the case and said: "According to you, the person transformed from the Yinghuo Demon Star knows everything and is omniscient. This is the reason why Hei Fu has never disappointed me? In the future, will he still be able to cause trouble and even destroy the Qin Dynasty? "

Lu Ao said: "Exactly! Your majesty is as traitorous as you are loyal!"

"Yes, great treachery is like loyalty. The king 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:

"Does this sinner confuse 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 word? Drag him down, throw him into a boiling cauldron, 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 people in the world don't think so."

In addition to looking forward to his death, there are many people who are secretly plotting and making plans for the future.

After that, Qin Shihuang said nothing more and just 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 didn't 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 the matter secretly.

In the evening, after Qin Shihuang finally recovered, he summoned Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC Mansion, to see 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."

"Draw up another system and send it to Panyu. It is said that the Marquis of Changnan has defeated Baiyue. He has served the Qin Dynasty from the south to the north. He has worked hard and made great achievements. Now the counties of Nanhai, Guilin and Xiang have been established. He ordered them to bring their meritorious generals and officials to Zhucheng to see the emperor. Set up an altar and worship him as Tonghou!"

"I want Hei Fu to be given the highest honor and rank among men!"
