Chapter 864: The Dead Qin
In the middle of April of the first year of the Second Emperor, Hu Hai, who was in the Wangyi Palace, was relieved to hear that Shi Bao and Wuguan Commander in the front line had reported that "the traitors have been repulsed, and thousands of people have been killed and wounded by flying stone crossbow arrows".
"The spirit of Lai Zongmiao, the spirit of Lai Zongmiao, can be regarded as repelling the black thief......"
But in an instant, he became inexplicably sad again, and cried: "But the woman, the Marquis of Tongwu, why did you abandon me so easily? It seems that my previous dream is the fulfillment of this! ”
It turned out that in March, Hu Hai dreamed that a big black dog was biting his left horse, and the horse was seriously injured and died!
When he woke up, he was sullen and summoned a sorcerer to ask him about the dream, and the sorcerer said after divination: "Jing Shui is troublesome." ”
Jingshui and Weishui are both Guanzhong Dachuan, it is said that there is a god in it, it is a dragon, probably the predecessor of the Jinghe Dragon King in later generations.
So Hu Hai moved to the northeast of Xianyang, Wangyi Palace on the edge of the Jing River, wanted to worship it, listened to the words of the wizard, sank four white horses, and killed four black dogs to sacrifice.
Unexpectedly, after the sacrifice, the news of Wang Ben's death came from the front, and in the next half a month, the bad news continued, Nanyang defended the treason, tens of thousands of people were captured by the rebels, and then there was the black man knocking on the Wuguan......
"Those who dare to enter the martial arts within 100 steps will be killed!"
He squatted in the corner of the wall trembling like a frightened child, looking at the loud doorway, for fear that the next moment the robbers would break down and kill him.
But now that the sound of slamming the door stopped, Hu Hai became angry again, and angrily summoned Li Si and Zhao Gao, and began to scold them wantonly!
"Prime Minister, didn't you say that the north is strong and the south is weak, and there will be no harm outside the border?"
"Lang Zhongling, didn't you say that the southern rebels and the Kwantung bandits can't do anything?"
"Now Zhao, Qi, Chu, Han, and Wei are all kings, from the east of Guan, to the end of Dadi Daqin to respond to the princes. And the south is even worse, Nanyang has fallen, Hanzhong has also been lost, and the thieves are in Wuguan and Nanshan! ”
He didn't know that his good brother Fusu had also reappeared, and was now defending against Donghu in Liaodong......
"In the blink of an eye, half of my country, no, it is two thirds of the world, and only the middle ...... is left."
Hu Hai is not stupid by nature, but he only thought it was a small rebellion before, and he had his dear teacher Zhao Gao's group of generals to help him clean up, as an emperor, just hang the arch and enjoy himself.
But now, a huge knocking body came from the door, and the cruel truth told him that Daqin's society was crumbling.
Hu Hai grabbed the sky and began to roar angrily.
"Qin Shi Huang swept through the six countries, wading quicksand in the west, passing the Great Xia in the north, the East China Sea in the east, and the north in the south. However, after the world lost the first emperor, the country was in turmoil, the eastern and southern parts of the country were lost, and as the Son of Heaven, I now only live in a state, which is ugly, really ugly! After you let me go to Sanquan, how to face the first emperor? Yes! ”
It's all Heifu's fault, the thief's fault, the general's fault, but he is not wrong.
The Son of Heaven will not be wrong, these are the words of the Father!
In the face of Hu Hai's questioning, Zhao Gao and Li Si were silent, Zhao Gao was secretly happy for Wang Ben's death, and Li Si thought for a long time before he said slowly:
"Your Majesty doesn't need to panic, in the past, when the Chu State broke through the martial arts pass and crossed the pass, wasn't it also defeated in Lantian?"
This is talking nonsense, now there are more troops in the north than when King Qin Huiwen was king, but the talent and morale are completely different.
Li Si continued to talk nonsense: "What's more, Guanzhong is thought to be solid by mountains and rivers, and the country of the four stops is also dangerous. The Six Nations have repeatedly violated Hangu, but they all sigh and can't do anything. Isn't it that with the momentum of the world, always in the northwest, the border is blocking the danger, the enemy is on the side, and there is the mercy of the land, sea and heaven, even if you lose the border, it is enough to protect yourself! ”
"Shang took six hundred sacrifices and died in Qizhou, a hundred miles; The Six Kingdoms were ordered by the Eight Thousand Miles of Zhao, Wei, Qi, Chu, Han, and Yan, and were ordered by the Qin of the Thousand Miles. I believe that with this geographical advantage, in time, Your Majesty will be able to prosper Daqin! ”
I heard this, but Hu Hai was not fooled, and glared and said: "Having said that, but the Marquis of Tongwu has passed away, and the black thief wants to enter the Guanzhong, and the front-line army must have someone to command, right?" In today's situation, who can do it? ”
Zhao Gao and Li Si both wanted to recommend their own people, but Hu Hai's next sentence made the two stunned.
"How is Meng Tian?"
……
"Never!"
Zhao Gao immediately objected, and when these four words were shouted, he found that Li Si had also said the same thing.
The two glanced at each other, and then tacitly looked away.
"Why not?"
After Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, Zhao Gao insisted that Mengshi was a fellow party of Heifu, so he imprisoned Meng Tian and Meng Yi.
But Meng Tian did not release Fu Su that year, Meng Yi reported the matter to Qin Shi Huang, and for a time could not find any evidence of rebellion, Hu Hai because he was not like in history is an edict to succeed to the throne, he regarded himself as the orthodox emperor, and after his position was stable, Wang Ben proposed, in order to get the support of the Shangjun soldiers, he released Ermeng, and only put them under house arrest.
However, after Wang Ben left the customs, Zhao Gao slandered Hu Hai again, saying that Meng Yi had prevented Qin Shi Huang from establishing Hu Hai as the crown prince......
However, this matter, when Hu Hai sent someone to question Meng Yi, he was denied by Meng Yi, and said something: "The husband used the prince for the first move, and the accumulation of several years, how dare the minister to admonish, what dare to plan!" ”
After the words were returned, Hu Hai was suspicious, or sent Ermeng to prison again, intending to kill him......
At this time, Ziying also came to persuade: "The minister heard that the late King of Zhao moved to kill his good minister Li Mu and used Yan Ju, Yan Wang Xiyin used Jing Ke's strategy to double the covenant of Qin, and King Qi built to kill his loyal ministers and used the proposal of victory." These three monarchs all suffered from the loss of their country by the ancients. Now Mengshi, Qin's ministers and advisers, and His Majesty wants to abandon it, and the ministers think it is impossible! ”
Hu Hai has no feelings with the brothers, and the relationship with Ziying is good, but he hesitated for a while, even if Zhao Gao repeatedly said that he should kill Ermeng as soon as possible, Hu Hai did not make up his mind.
Now that Wang Ben is gone, Hu Hai looked around the court, saw that there was no talent of a general, and when he was sick and rushed to the hospital, he actually remembered the Montessori brothers who were still in prison.
He muttered: "In the past, my father had three young generals, Meng Tian, Li Xin, and Heifu were all famous, but now the black thief has rebelled, Li Xin will not return, and those who can be enemies with Heifu will only be Meng Tian, if I can forgive his sins, reward the three armies, motivate the soldiers, or be able to resist the rebels in Wuguan......"
"What does Erqing think?" Hu Hai raised his head, he didn't know the bottom of this matter, and looked at the two old foxes carefully.
Of course, the two objected.
"If only you had thought that earlier...... But now, it's too late to make amends! Li Si thought.
Wang Ben died, and the pillar that could support the society fell, and if he went down again, he might have to break it. In addition, the envoy sent by Li Si to contact Heifu before came back to say that Li You was safe and sound, and Heifu especially remembered what he said back then, and he was willing to smile and enmity with Li.
After the future was guaranteed, Li Si, who was seeking his life before seeking the country, made up his mind to sell Hu Hai.
At present, there is no general in the pass, it will be easier for Heifu to break the pass, once Meng Tian is released from prison, maybe he will really be able to resist Heifu outside the pass!
What a line!
And Zhao Gao also has Zhao Gao's reasons, he was almost killed by Meng Yi according to the law, thanks to Qin Shi Huang's pardon. Afterwards, Zhao Gao always hated Mengshi, and planned to help Su harm Gongzi Gao, so he pointed the finger at the Mengshi brothers, but Wang Ben's letter made him panic and didn't have time to start.
Once the Montessori regains military power and is liquidated in the future, won't he Zhao Gao be the first to be unlucky?
So Li Si and Zhao Gao began to take turns admonishing.
"Your Majesty, the Montessori has always been friendly with Fusu, and now Heifu wants to support Fusu's eldest son in Shu County as the emperor, denying His Majesty's orthodoxy, if the army is handed over to Mengshi, his two brothers will immediately rebel and welcome Heifu into the customs, what should I do?"
"However, Meng Tian and Meng Yi are not credible, I hope Your Majesty will choose someone else......"
With a two-pronged approach, Hu Hai, who had no score in his heart, could withstand it, the more he listened, the more panicked he became, and gradually dispelled this idea.
"Who's going to do that?"
He rubbed his hands together and remembered someone again.
"Marquis of Wucheng, how is Wang Li?"
Zhao Gao coughed lightly: "Your Majesty, there is news from Wuguan, saying that it is the surrender of Nanyang, which was ordered by the Marquis of Tongwu to be done by Nanyang before his death, and also said that before his death, he wanted to merge with Heifu and enter the customs together, and the minister was afraid that the Wang clan of Pinyang would ......."
"Nonsense!"
Hu Hai suddenly became angry: "The Marquis of Tongwu will not be like this!" ”
"He is the head of the auxiliary ministers appointed by the First Emperor himself."
"He's my wife, the Queen's father! The Marquis of Tongwu is my enemy, diligent, and dedicated, until he dies, Wang Li will not disappoint me! Quickly adjust the king's departure, and the defenders of the north of the Saibei go south! ”
Zhao Gao knew that it was a little difficult to separate Hu Hai and Wang, so he kept silent and glanced at Li Si.
Li Si arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Li has 50,000 generals, guarding the border fortress of Shangjun, Shuofang, and Jiuyuan Great Wall, if you let all the Shangjun soldiers go south, I am afraid that Xinqinzhong will be invaded by Hulu......"
Since ten years ago, after Heifu, Li Xin, and Meng Tian drove the Xiongnu to the north, Shuofang County was set up in the south of the Saibei River and the Hetao, and 300,000 people were relocated to the real border, and the rent and tax were restored for three years.
The border people worked hard, and the farming area has been extended to the foot of Yin Mountain, from the south of the Great Wall, it is connected everywhere and faces each other. In the past ten years, the wealth can be comparable to Guanzhong, because most of the people who moved are Qin, so this area is called "New Qinzhong". ”
"The old Qinzhong can't be saved, what do I care about the new Qinzhong!?"
Hu Hai was determined.
"Although Hu Lu is evil, but the poison of the black thief is even a hundred times greater, the Hu people are just robbing some people and property, but the black man, the black man wants my life, and he wants to destroy the Seven Temples of Daqin!"
"Erqing, don't forget that prophecy, the dead Qin is black!"
It was a sharp sword hanging over Hu Hai's head.
"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. The people of my territory, whether to abandon or defend, I have the final say! ”
Qin Shi Huang personally selected the successor, the second emperor Hu Hai lost his temper, his voice broke, and he said excitedly:
"If it really comes to the day when Guanzhong falls, this great mountain and river, I would rather give it to the Hu people, not traitors!"
