Heifu led the county lieutenants to level the chaos and besiege Gaotang City, when the battle was in full swing, Pengcheng, Surabaya County, hundreds of miles to the south, had also gathered 50,000 troops, they were troops from Guanzhong, and they were under the command of Wang Ben, nominally, he was the main general of this Pingqi chaos......

But Qin Shi Huang did not rush to let the army march into Qi to quell the rebellion, but ordered them to be stationed in Pengcheng, all day long, there will be a huge drill every day, the emperor will occasionally show up to inspect, the tiger Ben bravely, the momentum is inspiring. This made the people of Pengcheng Chu, who had some thoughts in their hearts after hearing about the Qi chaos, immediately dispelled the idea of rebellion.

Not only Pengcheng, but also the surrounding Chu and Liang lands have also received such a signal, Qin Shi Huang is still there, and the army of the Qin Dynasty to sweep away the six countries is also stationed in Pengcheng in all directions, where they dare to rebel, they will immediately advance by land and water, and go to encircle and suppress.

Clear-eyed people can see that the emperor deliberately does not move, and he will not even send a soldier to Qidi: he just wants to let the people of the world see that the Qidi Zhutian who dares to rebel, the so-called "Qi State" that is restored, does not need the army of the imperial court to fight a hundred battles at all, and can be easily suppressed by relying on local miscellaneous county soldiers alone!

Sure enough, at the end of May, the deputy general of this battle, "General Pi" Heifu, sent someone to report, saying that Tian Zhi had been cut off from retreat and could not go to Julu County, and now he was trapped in Gaotang.

"Good."

Qin Shi Huang just bowed his head lightly, which was expected, and at the same time smiled at the ministers:

"Although the chicken killing knife is small, it is sharp enough, it is enough to deal with that group of local chickens and dogs, it seems that Tongwu Hou does not need to go out of the horse with this bull slaughtering blade."

Since there is no need to worry about the Qi chaos, perhaps in order to prevent the Pengcheng army from running in vain, or perhaps to reflect the good time for the imperial court to quell the chaos, the emperor ordered that on the first day of the sixth month, 50,000 troops gathered on the shore of Surabaya outside Pengcheng, and lined up for more than ten miles on both sides of the strait. Then select thousands of people with good water nature, take a boat to the middle of the water, dive into the water, and look for Zhou Ding, who sank here decades ago......

The three generations pay attention to "the major affairs of the country, in the worship and Rong", and the most important ritual in the sacrifice is the tripod. According to the etiquette system, people of different levels have strict restrictions on the number of tripods used, such as three tripods for scholars, five tripods for doctors, and seven tripods for princes, only the Son of Heaven is worthy of nine tripods!

Legend has it that Xia Yu collected the gold of Jiumu, cast Jiuding, like Kyushu, since then Jiuding has also become a symbol of the authority of the world, and has also become an orthodox heirloom.

Xia De declined, Ding moved to Yin; Yin De declined, Ding moved to Zhou, was placed in the eastern capital Luoyi, and survived the catastrophe of the destruction of the Western Zhou Dynasty, but after the decline of the Zhou royal family, it did not escape the coveting of the princes.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the importance of King Chuzhuang's victory, the world is familiar with it, needless to say, it is said that Qin, from King Qin Hui called the queen, there is also a ** to win the crown.

According to Qin Shi Huang's knowledge, Sima Cuo and Zhang Yi argued in front of King Qin Hui, Sima Cuo wanted to cut down Shu, Zhang Yi said: "It's better to cut Han." One of Zhang Yi's reasons is that after the elimination of Korea, he opened the way to Zhou's room, and at that time, "Zhou knows that if he doesn't save it, the Jiuding treasure will come out." According to Jiuding, according to the book, the Son of Heaven is coerced to order the world, and the world dare not listen, and this royal industry is also. ”

In the end, King Qin Hui adopted Sima Cuo's suggestion and attacked Bashu, but the time for Qin to win the crown was only delayed for more than ten years.

King Wu of Qin appointed Gan Mao, and after capturing Yiyang, he personally arrived at the Zhou Chamber with a group of strong men and proposed to "visit". This visit doesn't matter, the physically strong King Wu of Qin took advantage of King Zhou's territory and Jiuding to hold a tripod competition, which is quite a plan for the strong men to move all Jiuding back to Xianyang.

It's a pity that there was an accident in the weightlifting competition, when King Qin Wu lifted Yongzhou Ding, he missed his leg and smashed his leg, and Qin people had to return in a hurry, and it didn't take long for King Qin Wu to die......

When it came to King Qin Wu's younger brother and King Qin Zhao, the great-grandfather of Qin Shi Huangdi, the obsession of winning the title did not stop. After the Battle of Yique, the Xingshi of Qin approached the capital of Zhou and wanted to capture Jiuding. Seeing that Jiuding was not guaranteed, it was still Zhou Dafu Yan who instigated King Min of Qi, who was competing with Qin everywhere, to help Zhou drive Qin, and promised to dedicate Jiuding to Qi afterwards, so that the Qin soldiers could retreat, but in the end, Jiuding did not give it to King Qi Min.

Until the eve of the death of King Qin Zhao, he sent troops to destroy the Western Zhou Duke who had joined forces with the princes to attack Qin, and then took his Jiuding treasure and moved the Jiuding that several generations of Qin kings had in their hearts and minds to Xianyang Palace......

Qin Shi Huang remembered that after he ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, he proposed to take a look at Jiuding, so the long-dusted Ding Pavilion was opened again, and Jiuding appeared in front of him.

For him at that time, Jiuding was really a behemoth, the color of each tripod was different, and the strange patterns of different shapes on the tripod added to the simplicity and mystery of the tripod. Some are turtles, snakes, red birds, green dragons, white tigers and other beasts, and some are hideous monsters with unnamed mountain and sea scripture monsters, each representing the legend of the mountains and rivers in the state......

Qin Shi Huang remembered that at the age of thirteen, he stroked those patterns one by one, and turned back to ask Prime Minister Lu Buwei: "Father Zhong, if you get Jiuding, does it really mean that you have achieved the royal industry?" If so, why did the six countries still not enter the Qin dynasty, and if not, why did the overlords and ancestors of the past dynasties diligently pursue them? ”

Lu Buwei just smiled lightly: "Jiuding? Wang Ye? Your Majesty, they're just a few rabbits. ”

"Rabbit?" Qin Shi Huang was quite surprised at the time, what did this mean.

Lü Buwei gave Qin Shi Huang an impressive answer.

"A rabbit runs in front and hundreds of people chase after it, not because the rabbit can be divided into many parts, but because its ownership is undecided."

In Lü Buwei's eyes, the disputes between the princes for more than 500 years are, in the final analysis, just a group of people chasing a few rabbits whose names have not been decided......

This statement of "chasing rabbits among heroes" made the young Qin Shi Huang laugh for a long time, but Lü Buwei immediately became serious again.

"Therefore, governing the world and the country depends on the fixed score!"

He squatted down and said to Qin Shi Huang:

"Your Majesty, the people of the Six Kingdoms, will not respect Your Majesty as the Son of Heaven because Jiuding entered Qin, but will only admit this when Your Majesty becomes the real Son of Heaven and his status has been decided!"

Lü Buwei was a good teacher, he taught Qin Shi Huang a lot, but Qin Shi Huang also used what he learned to bring Lü Buwei down and let him die......

The past is vivid, thinking of this, Qin Shi Huang shook his head again:

"No, Lu Buwei, you are still wrong...... Even if I am the Son of Heaven, even if my deeds have surpassed the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, even if I have surpassed Tang Zhouwu, even if I have sealed Mount Tai, there are still people who do not want to admit this, and still want to restore! ”

So Qin Shi Huang had to tell them the facts.

"Dreaming!"

After fasting and bathing, Qin Shi Huang stood on the edge of the surging Surabaya, his ships were connected to form a bridge in Surabaya, and his soldiers stood on the shore full, shouting "Long live, long live, long live, long live!" that has suddenly become popular since Jiaodong Yeyi was the first to shout! ”

Thousands of warriors bowed to the emperor, drank a glass of wine, jumped into the water, and looked for Zhou Dinglai.

After King Qin Zhao destroyed the Duke of Western Zhou, although the Ding who moved back to Xianyang was called Nine, in fact, one of them was fake.

The Qin people soon discovered this, and under questioning, it turned out that the son of the Duke of the Western Zhou secretly sent Yuzhou Ding to the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, and the King of Qin Zhao was furious and sent someone to ask for it, and the son of the Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty had escaped from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, pulled the Ding, and ran to the Wei and Chu. At that time, Qin was the only one in the world, and although Wei and Chu coveted Baoding, they did not dare to take it in, so the son of the Duke of Western Zhou was desperate, and in Pengcheng Surabaya, the ship transporting Dading was scuttled and sunk, and he himself threw himself into the water and died......

At this point, the Qin people could not cross the border to take the tripod, so they could only give up, but now, Qin Shi Huang was rich all over the world, and since he arrived in Pengcheng, his men had enough manpower, so they naturally wanted to fish for this big tripod.

Although in the final analysis, it is just one of the "rabbits" in Lü Buwei's mouth, but after all, since King Qin Hui, the obsession of the ancestors of the past dynasties, if it can be reproduced in the world at this juncture, it will be of great benefit to the court to "settle points and stop disputes".

It's a pity, dispatched countless people, fished for seven days, searched for dozens of miles of rivers, fish and shrimp were caught a lot, and even a big turtle engraved with the words "Song tolerance for thirty years" on the back was caught in the net, summoning the erudite Zhang Cang to ask, only to know that this "Song tolerance" is the Song Yuan Gong of the same era as Confucius, two hundred years ago, so this big turtle was said to be "auspicious" by local officials, and the turtle policy came out of Surabaya, which was a sign of the prosperity of the Great Qin.

But the lost Dading is still missing.

Qin Shi Huang was a little disappointed, but fortunately there was good news from the north:

"Your Majesty's wisdom, Gaotang City has been lowered, the Tian family's traitors are all dead, and Tian Jiao and the thieves have been captured!"

……

By the middle of June, the "King of Qi" Tian Jiao, along with the heads of Tian Dan, Tian Heng, and Tian Rong, were sent to Pengcheng by Heifu to show Qin Shi Huang.

Tian Jiao is the younger brother of Qi Wang Jian, and he defended himself, saying that he was forced by Tian Dan and Tian Rong, and he didn't want to rebel, hoping to live.

But Qin Shi Huang didn't even bother to see the real King of Qi back then, let alone this "fake king", with a wave of his hand, he ordered to give Tian Fake and his brother a way to die: put them between the pines and cypresses, starve and kill!

After the Gao Tang Dynasty broke through, except for the Tian brothers and their die-hard menke henchmen, almost all the rest of the people were arrested, and there were more than 10,000 people who directly participated in the rebellion, and there were tens of thousands of people in the counties who were thieves.

As for how to deal with this group of people, there are those who propose not to distinguish and kill them all, and there are also those who think that they should be screened, those who should be killed and those who should be punished as prisoners should be punished, and let them do hard labor.

However, Heifu made a suggestion in the recital.

"The first 100 thieves can be punished with a car split, and the second more than 2,000 people are nailed to the wooden frame with five-inch wooden nails, and placed next to the pavilions and roads in the four counties of Qidi, so as to deter Qidi. The rest of the people were all cut off and sent to the Great Wall, Lishan, and Hexi to be the Sikou City Dan......"

Tingwei Ye Teng praised this method as good, these people who were directly involved in the rebellion deserved death for their crimes, just enough to nail a traitor in front of more than 2,000 pavilions in the four counties of Qidi, so that all the locals and passers-by knew the fate of the rebels. The timid nature is afraid, and then dare not give birth to a rebellious heart, if there are disgruntled people, want to rescue, just let the pavilion guard wait for the rabbit, all in one net!

Qin Shi Huang also thought that this idea was good, but what he appreciated more was Heifu's enlightenment.

Han Fei once said to Qin Shi Huang that there are five types of traitors.

The first is to bribe the monarch and the monarch's courtiers with money, so that the courtiers can say good things and pass on the news, so as to find out the monarch's whereabouts and thoughts.

The second is to buy people's hearts through rewards, strengthen their own power, and expand their influence.

The third is to appear as a wise man, establish his own image, recruit cronies, and form a party for personal gain.

Fourth, those who privately pardon criminals in order to expand their own power and make others die to themselves.

Fifth, those who deceive people's minds, use strange theories to attract the attention of others, and confuse people's minds and confuse right and wrong with strange costumes.

The above five kinds are all treacherous, and the Lord will see them!

In the case of feudal officials, special attention should be paid to the appearance of the second, third, and fourth officials, who are stationed in the localities and often collude with local forces. When encountering a good thing that buys people's hearts, it will be attributed to oneself, and the bad thing that offends people will be said to be the intention of the court and the emperor.

Previously, after Heifu solved the difficulty of Linzi, Qin Shi Huang ordered him to personally supervise the beheading of thousands of traitors' families, which was not because he did not trust Heifu, but just a little admonishment and beating on him, because Heifu's behavior in Jiaodong County surprised the emperor and was also a little dissatisfied.

His comments seem to be a little too positive......

A good official in the eyes of the people is not necessarily a "good official" in the eyes of the emperor.

Heifu is very spiritual, understood the emperor's meaning, and after pacifying the chaos of Qi this time, he took the initiative to take the evil and put forward this suggestion that would make Qi people poke their backbones.

The implication is obvious: "I, Heifu, am loyal to His Majesty and am not afraid of offending people!" ”

"This is what a loyal minister should be!"

Qin Shi Huang secretly praised that he didn't find Zhou Ding's bad mood, and he was much better, but he immediately asked Li Si and Ye Teng a word.

"Is it just Qi Di that needs to be deterred?"

As soon as Qin Shi Huang said this, Li Si and Ye Teng understood and changed the number of people executed to a full 10,000!

Crucifixion of almost all those directly involved in the rebellion! The scope of those pavilions that erected crosses and wooden frames also expanded from the four counties of Qi to Zhao, Wei, Han, Chu, and Yan......

In every pavilion, a cross will be erected, on which will be nailed a traitor, the nails will penetrate his hands and feet, the pavilion guards will feed him a little water every day, flies will lay eggs on him, crows will peck at his flesh, and every day will be painful and tortured, until the blood runs dry, until the maggots gnaw and wriggle between the skin and the lungs, and then he will die!

That's the price of rebellion!

The entire Six Kingdoms, two-thirds of the world, every road, will be enveloped in stench and fear.

And the black man who made this tragic proposal, his notoriety, will also be from Liaodong to Huiji, everyone knows it!

Heifu repaid his "loyalty" to Qin Shi Huang, and Qin Shi Huang also gladly gave the corresponding reward!

"Jiaodong guards the black husband, enters Linzi with Jiaodong soldiers, prohibits the violence of rebels, the soldiers of the rebellious country, the city of thousands of zhang, and the city of ten thousand families. He also joined the soldiers of the counties, broke the thieves in the Gaotang Dynasty, punished the evil, captured the false king, and pacified the chaos. Heifu's merits can be promoted to two levels, and he will be worshiped as the chief of the concubine! ”
