Chapter 353: The stormy Great Qin

209 BC.

In the second year of Ziying's succession to the throne, the Great Qin Empire ushered in the second year of the new emperor, and in the year he inherited the throne, he gradually went from the road of the first emperor to the country.

Since Ziying succeeded to the throne, he has spent extravagantly, squandered the wealth left by the first emperor Bisheng, and built an unprecedented Abang Palace.

The people were recruited from all over the country, and the taxes and forced labor were even more overwhelming to the common people, and in order to enrich the harem, Ziying stipulated that local officials selected 1,000 beauties from the local government to enter the palace.

In ancient times, the population was already very small, and the feudal society of patriarchy made women even smaller, so it created a picture, that is, in order to survive and keep their ranks, officials from all over the country sent troops everywhere to arrest young women who had never been out of the cabinet.

Such an act is even worse than that of banditry.

The government arrested the woman into the palace, which made the people panic, and in order to prevent her daughter from being arrested, there was a funny scene on the street - Lalang matching.

Any unmarried young man who walks out on the street is dragged to the woman's house and gets married immediately, without the need for three media and six certificates, let alone any dowry.

Often this kind of picture will only appear in the chaotic and dark situation, but the emergence of this situation also means that the world will be in chaos.

"Run, the government is coming to arrest people again."

There was an old woman on the street who saw that the local government kept arresting people, and would go to the street every once in a while to arrest people, at first it was only to arrest young women, and with the increase in the collection of state conscription, it has become their task to arrest young and strong men.

The death target assigned by the imperial court, if any county is not completed, the county officials are also implicated, and the dismissal of officials is really a trivial matter, and if it is not good, it will be killed.

There are also a few honest and honest parents and officials, who did not complete the tasks sent by the imperial court, but what was the result? Ziying was furious and beheaded these officials who disobeyed his holy will in public, even if the local people pleaded, they could not be spared.

Above the court and under the market, the people were sincerely afraid, and the ministers did not dare to speak out.

It can be said that for a time the empire fell into incomparable darkness.

The officials did not dare to admonish, the people did not dare to speak out, and in the seemingly peaceful atmosphere, they thought that the world was peaceful, and no one dared to oppose themselves, but in fact there was an undercurrent, and often the waves were only seen on the surface, and the real terrible thing was the undercurrent at the bottom of the sea.

This undercurrent is enough to destroy everything.

At this moment, the Great Qin Empire is in this situation, and on the surface, it is calm, but secretly it has already accumulated countless grievances and anger.

Once the resentment and anger reach its peak, the power generated will be immeasurable, and it will even upend the entire empire.

……

And this grudge did not break out until 208 BC.

Due to the large-scale construction of children, the collection of taxes, and the exploitation of the common people, the common people who live at the bottom are completely angered.

And Ziying's violent character is also exposed, he kills innocents indiscriminately, regards human life as a mustard, in this short period of two years, court officials have been killed seventy or eighty people, this terrifying data is really chilling.

Killings of local officials have not been counted.

Expand Xianyang Palace, build Abang Palace, ignore the government, eat, drink and have fun all day long, indulge in the harem, he is imitating the king of Shang, in the backyard of the Qin palace built a wine pond meat forest for his own play.

The officials all wanted to admonish, but they didn't dare, so they had to return in the end.

In just two years, the Great Qin Empire, which was originally a powerful country, has completely fallen into decline.

If Meng Yi is the loser of the Meng family, known as the first loser of Xianyang, then Ziying is the real and true first loser of Daqin.

He ruined not the rise and fall of a family, but the fate of a nation.

A fall like him is basically destroying the foundation of the Great Qin Empire for hundreds of years, how can people not be sad? But such an emperor who does whatever he wants, but he doesn't think so.

In Ziying's view, only power can suppress everything, and with the supreme power in his hands, he can do whatever he wants, and no one can help himself.

But he didn't know that as a king, the most important thing to really govern the country was not the supreme right, but the people's support.

Ziying will not understand this truth.

Baiyue country.

In the capital of Baiyue Kingdom, Meng Yi looked north at the sky, and sent all kinds of sighs from time to time, in the past two years, he has closely followed the movements of Daqin, and as he expected, the demise of Daqin has become a certainty.

The soul in Ziying's body did come through time, he didn't understand a reason, thinking that the emperor was really so good.

He thinks he has power, he thinks he is invincible, he thinks he is a god in the world, he can control everything.

But the fact is that once it loses the support of the people, the country will not be the country.

In the past, the confidants and ministers who followed him were also in danger, fearing that they would be killed, and they were basically detached.

Up to the heavens, down to the people, whether it is the heart of the courtiers or the hearts of the people, they are all lost, and the fate of the child is basically at the end of life.

As mentioned before, there are two men in Ziying's fate: Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.

At this moment, thousands of miles away in the southeast mountains of Huiji and Peixian, the two forces are accumulating reserves, except for Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, the peasants everywhere can not bear the pain of the tyrant, and they have revolted.

In 207 B.C., large-scale uprisings broke out in various places, and the number of revolts was so large that they occupied almost half of the empire.

The common people endured the tyranny of Qin, and all of them rebelled, and even many local officials joined the ranks of the rebel army, because they could not stand the oppression of their superiors.

"Damn, it's better to do the other way around than to survive."

He slammed the official hat on his head to the ground, and after stomping on it several times in anger, he picked up the killing stick in his hand and rushed out of the yamen to organize the local people to rebel.

……

The rebel armies in various places rose up, and Xianyang City at this time was "peaceful", and many urgent performances from all over the country were detained after reaching the court.

What Ziying doesn't want to hear the most is the harsh news, if he knows that someone has rebelled, I'm afraid everyone else will be unlucky.

As a result, Li Tang, who was the prime minister of the dynasty at the time, suppressed the performance and did not dare to submit it, and at this time, the palace of King Qin was still singing every night, and the child was indulged in the wine pond and meat forest and could not extricate himself.

Playing in the water with three thousand beautiful mandarin ducks, ignoring the government and politics, he is actually a debaucherous and unscrupulous king.

But how dare they say such a thing? In addition to his rights, Ziying's strength is unrivaled, and he dares to tell some unpleasant truths in front of him, unless he is not afraid of death.

In the wine pond meat forest, the voice of the young women warblers and swallows, the children and babies are drunk, lying in the wine pool is a big sleep, and after waking up, it is a crazy toss.

This extravagant life day and night shows the mediocrity of the child, and compared to Hu Hai, he is even better.

If the first emperor was still alive, he would definitely be angry to death, he knew that Ziying was evil, but he didn't expect Ziying to be so mediocre.

The great rivers and mountains left by his ancestors have been discarded alive, and now the rebel armies around the country are attacking the counties and counties, and they are occupying the mountains as kings, but he doesn't know it, and he is still drunk and dreaming of death, which is really embarrassing and impermanent.

On this day, Ziying, who was rarely sober, wore a black dragon robe and asked the eunuch beside him, "Has something big happened recently?" ”

The eunuch was afraid of being killed, so how dare he tell the truth, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is outside, how can something big happen?" The world is at peace. ”

Ziying snorted and said, "I think it's the same, if anyone dares to plot against him, he will definitely kill the ten clans, haha!" ”

The eunuch secretly rejoiced that he had escaped a catastrophe, but fortunately, Ziying was drunk and obsessed with women, and he didn't ask about business, if he left the palace of King Qin, he saw that Xianyang City had already lost its personnel, and the people had taken refuge and fled, he would definitely be suspicious.

"Lately, I've been dreaming about bad things happening, and you're going to invite some singing and dancing prostitutes to dance and sing, and you're tired of facing these sluts in the palace all day."

"Your Majesty, will it be rude to let prostitutes into the palace to sing?" The eunuch asked.

Ziying looked at him and said, "Do you dare to listen to what I say?" ”

"The minion doesn't dare, the minion just thinks it's ......"

"If you want to go, you will go, where is so much nonsense."

"Yes, yes, the minion will do it."

"Also, why has the quality of the beauties' tribute decreased significantly this month, and what are the officials doing in various places to eat, so they are not afraid that I will kill them?" Ziying asked angrily.

The eunuch replied, "The servants will question them, and please ask Your Majesty to be relieved." ”

Baiyue country.

In the past two years, under the governance of Meng Yi, the Baiyue Kingdom has been in order, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the Baiyue Kingdom has established diplomatic relations with neighboring countries.

This is Meng Yi's policy to promote abroad, the country and the country to help each other, resource sharing, common progress, after years of efforts, the surrounding countries will be more than a hundred and more horses, and Meng Yi's Huairou policy is admired by countless people.

Great Qin is declining step by step, while Baiyue is becoming stronger step by step, and over time, the surrounding small affiliated countries are all named Meng Yi as the "King of All Nations", this title is not casually said, which shows Meng Yi's status in the minds of other countries.

Throughout history, only Li Shimin was able to do this, and was truly called "Heavenly Khan" by people.

One day in 207 B.C., an urgent performance reached the capital of Baiyue Kingdom, waking up Meng Yi in his sleep, and his subordinates came to report.

"King Qiyu, the Great Qin Empire is in chaos."

After Meng Yi woke up from his sleepiness, he only said: "It's finally messed up." ”

"Are we going to send troops to capture Great Qin?"

"No need, someone will destroy the Qin State, and we just need to sit back and collect the power of the fisherman."

……

On the other side, the smoke of the war finally spread to Xianyang, and the paper couldn't contain the fire, but Ziying still knew everything.
