Chapter 146: The Fall of the Empire
Yes!!
Hundreds of Confucian scholars were killed among the officers and soldiers, and then pushed into the pit, and a mournful lament resounded between heaven and earth.
"Tyrant, tyrant, tyrant!"
Some Confucian scholars knew that their lives were not guaranteed, so they looked up to the sky and roared, cursing the First Emperor as a tyrant.
"I am waiting for my body to die, and I am willing to turn into thousands of undead spirits, and curse the Great Qin State not to die well."
"Tyrant, tyrant Qin, will definitely be punished."
……
Zhao Gao saw that the anger of the Confucian scholars was ignited, and they pointed all the fingers at the First Emperor, which was exactly what he wanted, and he wanted to take the empire into his hands step by step.
He is not willing to be a minister, what he wants is not one person above ten thousand people, but above the sky, under ten thousand people.
"Yingzheng, you will sink in the anger of the people, the empire you created single-handedly, I Zhao Gao will take over for you." Zhao Gao laughed wildly in his heart.
"Kill!!"
Click----click----!
As the hand rose and fell, the blades were stained with red blood, and the cries of countless Confucian beings before their deaths kept echoing throughout the heaven and earth, falling into the ears of hundreds of people.
At this time, Xianyang City seemed to be shrouded in a layer of dark clouds, although the sky and the earth were still bright, but countless people saw this miserable scene, and their hearts were already cold.
The capital of Daqin is no longer a dream city that everyone yearns for, but a nightmare for all of them, hundreds of people have witnessed this pit killing incident, and they often wake up from their dreams at night.
In the dream, the evil spirit chased after him, running and running until he was caught up by the evil spirit.
Feng Mansion.
Feng Quji stood outside the door of the lobby, his eyes staring into the distance, his expression was very solemn, his son Feng Zai came respectfully and said, "Father, what are you looking at?" ”
"Zai'er, the end of the empire is coming." Feng Qujian said worriedly.
Feng Zai's eyes were full of surprise, and after looking around to make sure that he was not heard by others, he asked, "Father, how dare you say such a rebellious remark?" ”
Although Feng Quji is the chief assistant of the dynasty, such unspeakable words will inevitably be convicted through his mouth, and Li Si and Zhao Gao's generations have always been at odds with their fathers, if they hear it, the entire Feng family will be in danger.
Feng Quji sighed helplessly and said, "Your Majesty listened to Li Si's party, and actually killed hundreds of Confucian students in public, such an act undoubtedly chilled the hearts of students all over the world." ”
"I am afraid that after this incident, although there are no words of rebellion inside and outside the government and the opposition, it has lost the hearts of the people. Both the ministers and the people are afraid of Your Majesty, rather than submitting to Your Majesty, and over time, the foundation of the country will be turbulent, and its demise will not be long before it. Feng Qujian said.
Feng Zheng empathized, as a doctor of imperial history, he should have the power to supervise hundreds of officials, but he obviously felt that after His Majesty burned books and pit Confucianism, the courtiers did not dare to say it, but they all objected to this matter in their hearts.
"Yes, the most important reason why the empire can dominate the world is that the monarch and the ministers are of the same heart, but the hearts of the people will be lost, and it will also be the moment when the empire is in decline." Feng Zheng said.
The Feng family's father and son knew, but the first emperor was in the bureau and didn't know the truth, maybe this is the so-called bystander Qing, the authorities are confused.
It's just that after this incident, I'm afraid that no minister will dare to speak out again, and the court that used to speak freely will no longer exist, and the root cause of it is the so-called party of Li Si and Zhao Gao.
Feng Qujian nodded solemnly and said, "If the prince of Fusu is here, Your Majesty will definitely listen, but it's a pity that the prince was killed by the gangsters, is my Daqin really going to die?" ”
"Father is too pessimistic, although Fusu Gongzi is not there, but Huhai Gongzi is adhering to the will of the eldest son, if the world is in charge of him in the future, he may be able to turn the tide." Feng Zheng said.
"Can't you see it? Where is our Huhai son, where is he upholding the will of the eldest son? He did it on purpose just to compete for the throne. ”
Feng Quji, as an old minister in the court, still has a somewhat sophisticated vision of people, there is an old saying, three years old to see eighty, he has long seen Hu Hai's virtue clearly.
There is a saying, the nature is difficult to change, although Hu Hai disguised as Fusu's virtue, but the prodigal energy in his bones cannot be changed.
"No, the voice of Prince Hu Hai has been very high recently, and now His Majesty's health is deteriorating, and the ministers are rumoring that the throne will be inherited by him."
How could Feng Quji not hear of this kind of message? If Hu Hai really ascends to the throne, then the Feng family will be eliminated first.
After all, Hu Hai is a disciple of Zhao Gao, and he has a very close relationship with Zhao Gao, and with Zhao Gao's ruthless methods, the Feng family is afraid that it will be difficult to escape.
Thinking of Hu Hai, Feng Qujian suddenly burst out of his mind, this person's image of a ruined family is well known to everyone in Xianyang City, but it is this ruined son who shows an amazing performance, whether it is the Great Dynasty Meeting, or the Three Kingdoms Meeting, he is impeccable.
Even the First Emperor liked him very much, at the beginning, after learning the news of Meng Yi's "death", the First Emperor was furious, and in order to comfort Meng Tian, he also specially prepared a grand funeral for Meng Yi.
This kind of treatment, even Gongzi Fusu does not have.
It can be seen that the First Emperor doesn't just like this kid, and now that he is not dead, maybe Meng Yi may be the last chance to turn the situation around.
Feng Quji pinned his hopes on Meng Yi, and thinking of this, he said to Feng Zheng: "Quick, go to pen and ink." ”
"Father, what do you do?"
Feng Qujian didn't have time to explain, and said, "I have something to say to that kid Meng Yi." ”
After Feng Zai took the pen and ink, Feng Quji wrote all the bamboo slips, and then handed them to Feng Zai, and instructed: "You send someone to bring this letter to Songhai and hand it over to Meng Yi." ”
I saw that Feng Qujian sealed this bamboo slip, which looked very precious, and Feng Zheng didn't dare to be sloppy, and immediately sent someone to Songhai at an expedited speed of eight hundred miles.
……

Songhai.
A letter from Xianyang was sent to Meng Yi's hands, and after opening the letter, Meng Yi read it carefully, and was suddenly shocked.
"Book burning and pit Confucianism, sure enough, it still happened." Meng Yi said to himself.
The tide of history is rolling forward, and the burning of books is just the beginning, and after this incident, it means that the Great Qin Empire has begun to decline.
This matter has not yet spread, and I believe that it will not be long before the chain effect of book burning and Confucianism will snowball, getting bigger and bigger, and finally reaching the point of no return.
The killing of Confucianism will inevitably be a great shock for Confucianism, and the hundreds of schools of thought will also be panicked, and peasant uprisings will be staged in various places.
With the change of dynasties and the passage of time, the old dynasty will eventually be replaced by the new dynasty, which is an eternal truth.
At this time, Fusu came over, Meng Yi handed him Feng Quji's letter, Fusu took it with his hand, and after reading the contents of the letter, he was stunned.
"Father...... Father's ...... How can you be so confused? Fusu said angrily.
"It's not that he's confused, it's that someone wants him to be confused."
Meng Yi said that although Feng Quji's letter did not say anything, he said that there were people in the DPRK who were secretly playing tricks on him, and he guessed it.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Now in the court, the rightists led by Prime Minister Feng Laocheng, and the leftists represented by Li Si and Zhao Gao. In the letter, the old prime minister dissuaded His Majesty many times, but he was blocked by others, causing His Majesty to make such a wrong decision, which has explained everything. ”
The person who stops the rightists must not be Feng Quji's own people, not his own people, of course, his opponents.
It's just that Meng Yi was very surprised by one thing, he knew that Li Si was a person from the same world as himself, but he didn't expect that he was now in cahoots with Zhao Gaoxin.
Perhaps, Meng Yi never dreamed that he once said a sentence to Li Si, that is, this sentence completely changed Li Si, and this sentence was that Qin II was Hu Hai.
As a cook, Li Si knows nothing about history, but Meng Yi's casual sentence made Li Si understand the truth and learn that the future emperor is Hu Hai.
In order to protect himself, Li Si chose Hu Hai without hesitation, and Zhao Gao was Hu Hai's teacher, and the two of them naturally colluded together.
And the most terrifying thing is not that the two of them formed a party for personal gain, but that it started with the burning of books and the pit of Confucianism, and the plan of the Xiao organization is being carried out step by step, which is really terrifying.
"Lao Cheng believes what he said, if you want you to find a way to save this irreversible situation, do you have a clever plan in mind?" Fusu asked.
"He said that it is irreversible, and His Majesty's reckless behavior cannot be reversed in a few words, because what has been lost is not the hundreds of Confucian scholars in that area, but the hearts of people in the world." Meng Yi said.
Since ancient times, only the people's hearts cannot be lost, and the practice of winning the government has undoubtedly made the biggest wrong decision.
"Is there really no way?" Fusu asked.
Meng Yi fell into deep thought, Feng Quji didn't report to himself, but to make trouble for himself, Meng Yi is not a god, and there will be times when he is powerless.
Thinking to no avail, Meng Yi closed his breath and entered a meditative state, "Silly girl, I know you are here, hurry up and come out for me." ”
Hearing Meng Yi's call, Zixuan suddenly appeared in front of him and said angrily: "I have a name, don't call me a stupid girl." ”
"Okay, silly girl."
“------”
"I need your help with something, you know how to ......"
Meng Yi told Zixuan what happened in Xianyang, and as a highly intelligent artificial intelligence, she always had more ways than herself.
Zixuan also thought for a while and said, "It's simple, you come here, I'll tell you." ”
Meng Yi poked her head, she didn't know what to say in his ear, and after opening her eyes, Meng Yi said to Fusu: "There is a way." ”
"What's the solution?"
Meng Yi didn't say anything, glanced outside the door, and said, "Yaotong, since you're here, why hide behind the door?" ”
For her, Meng Yi has always been wary.
