Qin Official

(For promotional purposes, the cover of the book will be changed. Don’t be surprised if you can’t find the book at a glance)

"Perhaps my maid is paranoid, but I feel like there have been a lot of eyes around the Changnan Marquis Mansion since yesterday. Even when my maid goes out to buy some vegetables and fabrics, there are people following her either far or near. No matter if the maid asks the coachman to walk closely or slowly, he will always follow me." Can’t get rid of it.”

After returning from the outside, Yuan worriedly reported what she had discovered to her mistress.

Ye is concentrating on knitting sweaters. Although Changnan is rich and noble, Ye Zijin is still used to making winter clothes for her husband and two children every winter.

"My maid was still in the market when she saw a group of ignorant children from a Guizhou family being arrested by the government because they were singing a sentence..."

Seeing that the mistress just hummed and was indifferent, Yuan came closer and whispered: "The song is, 'The one who destroys Qin is black'! Madam, there is a traitor who wants to harm the king!"

The needlework in Ye's hand finally stopped, but she said with a smile: "I have persuaded him to change his name a long time ago, but he has always been stubborn and unwilling. It's better now. When it comes to black, even you will think of Changnan Hou first, let alone others. ? You can’t even wash yourself away even if you jump into a river.”

Yuan was so anxious that she stamped her feet: "Madam, at this time of year, do you still have time to joke? Now the news has spread throughout half of Xianyang City, and people in the mansion are also panicking."

"Why panic? A good man often says that it is a blessing, not a curse. Disasters cannot be avoided. If he has an army thousands of miles away, he must be prepared to slander a basketful of books."

Instead of panicking, Mrs. Ye asked, "Are there any soldiers surrounding the mansion?"

Yuan was stunned: "No."

"Some officials came to ask for help. Are they going to take us, mother and son, into prison?"

"nor."

"Can you still come and go freely?"

Yuan nodded: "Although there is surveillance, it does not prevent us from going in and out. It seems that we want to maintain everything as usual. Those people even have a vague intention of protection, blocking the idlers who heard the rumors and later spied on us."

"Where is Xianyang City? Can I still get out?"

"My servant has been tried, but was stopped in Baqiao. The lieutenant army said they would arrest the Confucian scholar who had absconded some time ago and cursed His Majesty the Emperor. No one is allowed to leave the city!"

"That's right. It seems that Your Majesty did not believe this so-called nursery rhyme prophecy."

After Ye Zijin thought for a moment, he called his eldest son over, held him in the warm room for a long time, and said with a flushed face:

"Polu, can you let Yuan Fumu send you to Uncle Zhang's house to practice calligraphy today?"

"good!"

Little Polu's eyes suddenly lit up. He also likes sweets, but at home, his mother is very strict and says that if he eats too many sweets, he will develop rotten teeth. It will take a long time before he is allowed to eat even one piece.

But it was different when he went to Zhang Cang's Uncle Zhang's house to learn calligraphy. His uncle would let dozens of "aunts" carry all kinds of snacks and let him eat until his nose bleeds...

After the child went out happily, Ye secretly told Yuan.

"Since you are not prevented from entering and exiting the mansion, it means that the court does not want to touch my house for the time being, but His Majesty's attitude is unclear. Please tell Zhang Cang about this, and Zhang Cang will find a way!"

…

"Whoever killed Qin was evil? How could such a rumor spread wildly in Xianyang City?"

The young master Fusu's residence, Fusu had just heard that Shaoping, the manager of the young master's residence, said this new thing, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

Shaoping said: "Those ignorant children and their parents, eldest father and eldest mother who spread rumors have been arrested. It is said that a group of black ants gathered spontaneously in the east of the city to form these four words. Everyone said that this was a prophecy from the heavenly book. And the root of this rumor may be related to the absconding warlock that Your Majesty cooked and killed the day before yesterday..."

Outsiders have no way of knowing what Lu Sheng said when he saw the First Empress of Qin, which prompted the emperor to cook him to death. However, judging from the rumors that someone secretly fueled the situation, the two events may be related.

Dong Gong mused: "Even if Lu Sheng, the sorcerer from that side, has some partisans, it is impossible for him to sneak into Hangu Pass and spread rumors. This shows that there are partisans in Guanzhong, and there are more treacherous ministers in the court who are adding fuel to the flames and want to harm the Marquis of Changnan." !”

Fusu hated this very much: "There are people who wish that the monarch and his ministers would be separated and the world would be in chaos! If I find out who it is, I will punish them!"

"Young master, please don't act rashly."

Dong Gong still had the same attitude. His tailor-made plan for Fusu was to be respectful and filial, to wait quietly and wait for the mountains to collapse.

But the tree wants to be quiet but the wind is not stopping. No, the weird celestial phenomenon just a while ago has just subsided, and now someone is secretly plotting against the Marquis of Changnan.

Seeing that Lu Ao entered the palace to make a speech but failed, his accomplices simply spread rumors among the people. In this way, when the news spreads throughout the world, even if Qin Shihuang does not believe it, and even if Changnan Marquis has no objection, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers will definitely be worse than before. .

"The person who came up with this plan is really vicious!"

Fortunately, the news from Zhang Cang gave everyone reassurance.

"Zhang Cang has entered the palace to defend Changnan Hou. Although Changnan Hou's mansion is under surveillance by Lang Wei, he has not yet sent troops to surround him. The family members in the mansion can come and go without hindrance."

"It seems that my father did not believe the rumors easily."

Fusu felt relieved a little.

But in the afternoon, when Meng Tian sent his family member Meng Tianfang over to send a message to Fusu, Fusu's heart became anxious again...

"Although Tian has returned to the court, at this very moment, I can't look down on the young master. I just want to say: Your Majesty may have something to do in the south! But Tian sincerely asks the young master, don't worry about anything!"

…

Meng Tian returned to the court in recent days. Since Qin Shihuang built pavilions and barriers to drive away the soldiers in the 30th year, after several years of construction and relying on the efforts of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, the Qin, Zhao, and Yan Great Walls in the north were finally connected!

After the Great Wall was repaired, Qin Shihuang ordered Meng Tian to escort 200,000 prisoners from the Six Kingdoms back to Guanzhong and let these people join the Lishan construction site. As a result, there were actually 700,000 people working on the Lishan project. With so many more mouths to eat, the price of grain in Guanzhong, which had soared after Li Xin's Western Expedition, has risen again, reaching as high as two hundred dollars per stone meter! Guanzhong, which was originally the land of abundance, actually needed to transport grain and fodder from Guandong to replenish it.

Originally, Meng Tian was going to return north after reporting to Qin Shihuang the defense of the Great Wall and the current situation of the Xiongnu and Donghu. However, Qin Shihuang left Meng Tian behind and appointed him as a "weiwei" responsible for the defense of Xianyang. Instead, he appointed Feng Jing as deputy general to lead troops in Shangjun. .

At the same time, Wang Ben's son, Wang Li, the Marquis of Wucheng, was appointed as the Zhonglang General and stayed in the Wei palace.

If last year's transfer was for civilian officials, then this round of transfers is for military attachés. It was dazzling. Wang and Feng, who had been neglected for a long time, were suddenly reused, and Meng Tian was appointed as a guard. It seemed that he was promoted, but in fact ? The number of soldiers in hand was ten times less.

This series of appointments occurred after Yinghuo, Meteor, and Meteorite, and were accompanied by rumors that "the one who destroyed Qin was black", which made people feel a little uneasy.

Amidst this uneasiness, Qin Shihuang ordered Fusu to enter the palace.

At the edge of the palace gate, Fusu saw that there were a group of new-faced guards guarding the palace gate. While His Majesty was there, he also saw a group of corpses covered with black cloth being transported down.

"This is……"

Fusu looked at Zhonglang General Wang Li. He had been living at home for several years, and now he was favored again and was in high spirits.

"It's a palace servant who may have leaked the secrets of the palace and was executed by His Majesty..."

With this sentence, Wang Li did not dare to reveal too much, but Fusu still felt chilled. Since the year before last, dozens of people have been executed in the palace almost every month. Now, it is considered dangerous to enter the Qin Palace as a chamberlain. On the way, the children of captives and prisoners from the Six Kingdoms had to be used as new palace servants.

When he walked to the front of the palace, Fusu found that Qin Shihuang, who had half white hair, was standing on the bricks with his hands clasped behind his back, looking down at something with interest.

He bowed down from a distance: "My son, Fusu, pays homage to my father!"

Qin Shihuang turned around, asked him to stand up, and waved: "Come and take a look."

Fusu stepped forward and couldn't help being surprised!

On the smooth floor tiles, there are four words:

Whoever destroys Qin is black!

"Father, this..." Seeing is believing, Fusu couldn't react for a while.

"Don't worry."

Qin Shihuang seemed to be in a good mood and said with a smile: "Zhang Cang came to the audience and said that he had found a way to forge the prophecy of the heavenly book, so he wrote these four words with honey in front of the palace. Sure enough, after a while, the ants smelled it. The taste came and crawled densely. Don't say that the person who destroyed Qin was Hei, even the person who destroyed Qin was Hu, he could write about it..."

"This may be the truth about the Heavenly Book that Lu Ao said he saw in Hu Tian in the north. It's ridiculous that I have already cooked him to death, but his followers are still determined to repeat this foolish act in the east of the city. They also incite children to spread rumors. They are really in the middle of the court. Is there no one?"

Qin Shihuang strode over and stamped on the ground, crushing countless insects and ants to death!

"You're just an ant, how can you understand God's will!"

Although Qin Shihuang was superstitious, he was not a fool. Celestial phenomena cannot be faked, but human words can.

Qin Shihuang has determined that whether it is the death of the First Emperor and the division of the land, the so-called death of the ancestor dragon this year, or the four-character prophecy, most of them are forged...

Words are like the wind. Sometimes they go west and sometimes they go east. You can just listen to them.

"Zhang Cang is really smart. He deserves to be the most knowledgeable person in the world, and he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods!"

Fusu was convinced that now the Marquis of Changnan would be able to wash away his grievances. He forgot Meng Tian's advice for a while, and said with a cupped hand:

"Father, Emperor Yingrui, can naturally see clearly that this is a lie. The Marquis of Changnan is loyal to the Qin Dynasty..."

Unexpectedly, Qin Shihuang interrupted Fusu.

"Fusu, you are still so black and white."

He glanced over with his tiger eyes:

"Is it important whether these words and this whole thing are true or false?"

Fusu was stunned for a moment, and then, Qin Shihuang's words made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave!

"I know that you have been working with Heifu since eighty or nine years ago. When we were in the North, you were his supervisor. When we were in Haidong, he was your supervisor. It can be said that we have shared joys and sorrows. He said It’s not an exaggeration to say that I am your teacher…”

"But, Fusu, if one day you have to kill Hei Fu, can you do it?"

…

ps: Chapter 2: At night, I recommend a history book:

"1907 Capital is Ferocious"

In 4004 BC, God created the world.

In 1901, the Morgan plutocrat, the Rothschild family, the Guggenheim consortium, and Rockefeller redefined the world.

In 1907, an illegitimate son who was not recognized by the Morgan family stood in front of the bustling Wall Street, staring at Building 23, which symbolized the capital giants.

He will change the world.
