Volume 1 The First Involvement in the Warring States Period Chapter 001 The Story of Plains Jin

When Lu Yu got home, the first thing he did was to turn on the computer and plug in the USB flash drive.

Opening the USB flash drive, Lu Yu found that it was an encrypted document. Fortunately, when he said goodbye to Ji Shaodian just now, Ji Shaodian told him the password. After expertly entering the password on the keyboard, the document finally opened.

Lu Yu's heart was pounding, if he guessed correctly, the record in "The Story of Pingyuan Jin" should be what happened in the present-day Shandong Plain during Qin Shi Huang's last eastward tour. Almost anyone who has read history knows that Qin Shi Huang died during this trip.

Regarding the death of Qin Shi Huang, there are many records in the "Historical Records", which can be found in the "Qin Shi Huang Benji", "Li Silie Biography", "Meng Tian Lie Biography" and other places, it is reasonable to say that the cause of Qin Shi Huang's death is clear and undoubted. Most of them record that in 218 BC, Qin Shi Huang was assassinated while on his eastern tour, and a side car behind him was smashed to pieces by an assassin with a heavy hammer. Subsequently, a meteorite engraved with the words "The First Emperor died and the earth was divided" and a "immortal" who predicted that "the ancestral dragon died this year" were discovered.

Qin Shi Huang was very superstitious, and encountering these phenomena made him feel frightened and uneasy. In order to eliminate disasters and take refuge, they are looking for the elixir of life. In fact, in ancient times, almost every emperor would have this kind of behavior, in order to consolidate the throne, ten thousand years of longevity, immortality is almost every emperor's dream. Even among the people, many people cultivate the Tao and refine the pill, and it is not uncommon to see all kinds of legends and stories of rising in the day. Qin Shi Huang heeded the advice of a mysterious fortune-teller and prepared for the fifth parade. However, due to the hot weather and the fatigue of the journey, when he arrived in Pingyuanjin, which is near the present-day Shandong Plain, Qin Shi Huang fell ill. At that time, Zhao Gao was ordered to write a suicide note to Fusu, the eldest son of Qin Shi Huang, who was appointed to supervise the army in Hetao. But before this suicide note was issued, Qin Shi Huang died in the Dune Palace, near Guangzong in today's Xingtai City, Hebei Province.

Some scholars believe that Qin Shi Huang had a disease since he was a child, so his physique was weak. He is a man and self-serving, and he has to personally adjudicate everything big or small; The daily review of documents weighs about 120 pounds, and the work is extremely tiring; The cruise coincided with the high temperature of July, and the combination of the above factors prompted him to fall ill and die on the way. As for the disease from which he died, some people believe that he died of heat stroke, high fever that does not go away, and some people even believe that he died of epilepsy.

These materials that Lu Yu had excerpted on the Internet before and stored in the computer were familiar with them, and he had already read them more than a hundred times, and he opened them again.

Guo Moruo, a modern writer, historian and one of the founders of new poetry in China, according to the record in the "Historical Records * Qin Shi Huang Benji" that "the king of Qin is a bee quasi, long eyes, birds and birds, jackals, little grace and tiger and wolf heart ......", speculated that Qin Shi Huang suffered from hypochondria since he was a child, and often suffered from bronchitis, so when he grew up, his chest was the same as that of an ostrich, and his voice was like a jackal, and later due to heavy government affairs, it caused meningitis and epilepsy and other diseases.

Later, when Qin Shi Huang crossed the Yellow River, he had an epileptic seizure, and it is estimated that the shock absorption function of the ancient carriage was not very good, and the back of the head case accidentally hit the bronze ice in the bump, which aggravated the condition of meningitis, and the person was in a coma immediately; The day after the car arrived at the sand dunes, Zhao Gao and Li Si found that Qin Shi Huang had been dead for a long time.

When Lu Yu saw this, he still felt that it shouldn't be like this. As the king of the Ninety-Five, the First Emperor, how could he not have half of the imperial doctor, cronies and ministers by his side when he was seriously ill? "How long have you been dead when you find out?" Absolutely impossible.

So there are also people who hold the second view.

Some scholars have also found "suspicious things" from several historical books about the death of Qin Shi Huang. When Qin Shi Huang traveled for the last time, his entourage mainly included Zhao Gao, Li Si, Hu Hai and others.

Shangqing Meng Yi was also among the entourage.

Meng Yi was Meng Tian's younger brother and a close confidant of Qin Shi Huang's eldest son Fusu, but when Qin Shi Huang fell seriously ill on the way, Meng Yi, as a general, was suddenly sent back to the border pass. Judging from the sudden personnel changes, this seems to be a ploy by Zhao Gao and others.

Sending Meng Yi away from Qin Shi Huang's side is to remove Fusu's eyes and ears; In addition, Zhao Gao was sentenced to death by Meng Yi, and later because of Qin Shihuang's pardon, Zhao Gao was restored to the official title, but he must have hated Meng Yi in his heart. Zhao Gao sent Meng Yi away when Qin Shi Huang was seriously ill, and also cleared a stumbling block for the implementation of his later plan.

Therefore, after the death of Qin Shi Huang, Zhao Gao took the method of persuading Hu Hai and threatening Li Si, and the three of them conspired to fake Qin Shi Huang to issue an edict and Hu Hai to inherit the throne. At the same time, in the name of Qin Shi Huang, he also accused Fusu of being unfilial to his son and Meng Tian of being disloyal to his ministers, and made them commit suicide so that they could not disobey. After receiving the exact news of Fusu's suicide, Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, and Li Si ordered the convoy to travel day and night and quickly return to Xianyang.

In addition, there is a wild history that says:

A meteorite fell from the sky, and some people privately carved a line of words on the meteorite: The first emperor died and the earth was divided. Qin Shi Huang ordered the person who carved the inscription to be traced, but when he couldn't find it, he actually put all the residents living near the meteorite to death. Such brutality naturally aroused the hatred and curse of the people more and more. not only cursed him for dying early, but even cursed him for where he died. There is a ballad that sings: "Qin Shi Huang, to the death of the sand dunes." ”

When this ballad reached the ears of Qin Shi Huang, it was very unpleasant. This is a very unlucky thing. Therefore, the superstitious First Emperor made a special instruction during the parade, and when he saw the sand dunes, he took a detour. When the First Emperor was terminally ill, he happened to meet a group of children playing in front of him, blocking his path. Qin Shi Huang ordered his subordinates to ask what the children were playing. The children replied: We are playing with the dunes! When the first emperor heard this, he still did not escape the curse of the people, kicked his legs, and whined and lamented. Sima Qian's "Historical Records * Qin Shi Huang Benji" briefly describes Yun in just two lines of text: "In July Bingyin, the first emperor collapsed on the sand dune platform. ”

This is, of course, a pure joke.

Regarding the death of Qin Shi Huang, whether it is the official history or the wild history, there are many opinions, and Lu Yu is most concerned about whether the "Pingyuan Jinji" obtained from Ji Shaodian will record the same as one of them.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yu's eyes focused on the computer screen and began to read.

Empty and spiritual, only the world

The red dust is hard to pull out

The will does not leave the emperor's dream

What is the favor of other family Heng

What a big breath. Lu Yu thought to himself. At the beginning of the book, these four sentences were written, and the original curiosity was aggravated. Who wrote this book?

Lu Yu continued to read, fortunately, the e-book is accompanied by a compiled translation, if it is the original text, it is estimated that Lu Yu will go crazy when he checks the translation.

"Qin is dead.

The ancestral dragon died and divided. Hai is young and lewd, and the traitor is attached to the high.

In July Bingyin, Zulong was seriously ill, and he sent his cronies Mi Wu to Pingyuanjin, wanting to go to the ancient forbidden prescription, so that Zulong's blood and qi were staggered and not leaked from time to time, and the outbreak broke out.

The thief coerced my wife and children, and promised them power, which should not be the case.

Qin died.

The spirit of the ancestral dragon cannot stop the evil spirit, and the evil spirit cannot be discharged, and it is slow and yin is urgent, so it is violent.

In August, the landlord did not return, and the ancestral dragon was weak and collapsed.

Qin died.

……”

This is a passage from classical Chinese. When Lu Yu saw this, he didn't bother to read it any further, nor did he bother to deduce the meaning, so he hurriedly turned to the end of the book, only to see the word "Li Si" appear in the translated paragraph.

As expected, the author of this "Pingyuan Jinji" is Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty.

Li Si was born in the late Warring States period, the Chu State Shangcai people, then today's southwest of Shangcai County, Henan, after entering the Qin State, from the small squire to the power of the Qin State of the prime minister, after the unification of Qin Shi Huang, whether it is the famous "county system", to the famous "Three Princes and Nine Secretaries", the unification of writing, unified currency and other aspects of the unification have made great contributions, can be called the unification of the Qin State. However, because of a conspiracy with the eunuch Zhao Gao, the emperor's eldest son Fusu committed suicide, and the second son of the emperor, Hu Hai, sat on the throne with a false name, and finally died tragically because he was jealous of Zhao Gao.

"Cut in the downtown of Xianyang, and raze the three tribes."

Because he did something, he had a conflict of interest with Zhao Gao, and was killed by Zhao Gao.

It can be said that the fall of the Qin Dynasty has a great relationship with Li Si.

Lu Yu continued to look down.

This "Pingyuan Jin Ji", mainly records that Li Si was beheaded before the last trip of Qin Shi Huang in prison, because the weather was hot, it was an ordinary heat stroke, but Zhao Gao conspired to usurp the throne with his wife and children, and I don't know where to find the "ancient forbidden prescription", which made Qin Shi Huang's illness become more and more serious in a short period of time, and then blatantly forced Qin Shi Huang to make an edict when he was dying, and set up the second son of the emperor Hu Hai as the successor, and abolished the original master Fusu, the eldest son who was going to be the successor. And the text mentioned "the landlord went to the house and did not return", "the gentleman's room" is the word of the priest Xu Fu, and the explanation in the translation is exactly the same as what Lu Yu thought, and it was indeed Xu Fu who was sent east by Qin Shi Huang to find the elixir of life, but you don't need to think about it to know that Xu Fu did not find the so-called Long March elixir, and disappeared without a trace.

And Qin Shi Huang, of course, kicked his legs and went to see the immortals.

If it were you, the emperor was about to go to heaven to become an immortal, and sent you to find some immortal medicine to heal, not only would you not find it but also dare to come back, and all the black cauldrons would definitely be smashed on you, wouldn't it be too far to run.

There is a folk legend that Xu Fu wrote to Qin Shi Huang that the three immortal mountains in the East China Sea are inhabited by immortals, and if they can ask for it, they can ask for the elixir of life. This made Qin Shi Huang very happy, and immediately prepared thousands of boys and girls for Xu Fu, enough food to eat for several years, and gave a big boat for him to go and ask for immortal medicine.

Who knew that Xu Fu went for several years, but he didn't find the legendary Immortal Mountain, and he didn't even come back to see Qin Shi Huang. Qin Shi Huang couldn't wait any longer and sent someone to find him. Later, he found Xu Fu in Laoshan and wanted to punish him. Xu Fu lied, saying that the immortals traveled and couldn't see them, but he had already calculated the time when the immortals would return, and when the time came, he would go to sea again to find them. At that time, Qin Shi Huang had already fallen ill during his last tour, and he was very ill. So when the spirit was still sober, he sent Xu Fudong to ask for immortal medicine. Xu Fu, who was well-versed in medicine, saw at a glance that he had taken the wrong medicine, and Qin Shi Huang, who was dying soon, knew that the time had come, and did not dare to slack off, saying that the immortals had returned, and once again led everyone to the sea to find immortals.

This time, there was no more news.

Some people say that at that time, shipbuilding technology was limited, and Xu Hai and others were buried in the sea;

It is also said that many people were dissatisfied with the violent rule of Qin Shi Huang at that time, and Xu Fu was erudite and knowledgeable in medicine, astronomy, navigation and other knowledge. As an intellectual, of course, he is also a member of the dissatisfaction, but he is single-handed, suffering from powerlessness, so he has to be enthusiastic about finding the so-called elixir on the surface, but in fact he is looking for an opportunity to emigrate and break away from the rule of Qin Shi Huang. So he made up a big lie, saying that there was a fairy mountain in the East China Sea, and led thousands of people to a certain place to change their names and surnames, and lived in the local area.

It is also said that Xu Fu was influenced by Zou Yan, a well-known yin-yang artist at the time, and Zou Yan's view of "Great Kyushu" was very popular at that time, believing that there was still a large territory overseas. This view directly influenced many people at the time, and the "Great Kyushu" doctrine guided and inspired coastal navigators and explorers to actively explore overseas.

And Qin Shi Huang's ideal is that all the places where the sun and the moon shine are his territory; Whatever a man's footprints reach is his subjects.

So, in order to expand his territory, under the guise of seeking immortal medicine, he sent Xu Fu to the sea, but in fact, it was to realize the ideal of his territory. In the "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Period for Desire", it also pointed out the ideals of the rulers of the Qin State at that time: "From the north to Great Xia, to the south to the North Household, to the west to the Three Dangers, and to the east to Fumu, I dare not mess around." "To the east to Fugi is to the east to Fuso, which is now Japan.

But according to Li Si's account in "The Story of Pingyuan Jin", Qin Shi Huang was terminally ill at that time, and how could such a trivial matter as expanding his territory be as important as his dragon body?

It is only required to get the immortal medicine, heal the dragon body, and have more opportunities to expand the territory.

Some people say that Xu Fu really "went east to Fumu", that is, he went to Japan, and taught the knowledge brought from the Qin State to the locals, taught them farming, and even established himself as the king, so some scholars regard Xu Fu as the "Jimmu Emperor" of Japan at that time. Xu Fu deceived the Qin State at that time, and the shipbuilding technology was limited, and it was impossible for him to come to Japan; Fearing that Qin Shi Huang would really send people to Japan, he changed his name and surname, and even created new scripts to replace most of the scripts of Qin.

When Xu Fu crossed to the east, he carried a large number of classics, so that the classics that were burned by Qin Shi Huang in China were preserved in Japan. However, the veracity of this claim is difficult to verify. It was not until 1339 that the "Orthodox Records of the God Emperor" written by Kitabatake Inbo, the minister of the Southern Dynasty of Japan, recorded this incident as a letter history, saying that "the complete scriptures of Confucius are the only ones that survive in Japan".

The official histories such as "Ancient Records", "Japanese Shoki", and "Orthodox Records of the God Emperor" written by Japanese officials do not record Xu Fu's family history. However, the collection of Mr. Yoshitaka Miyashita in Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture, "Ancient Documents of Miyashita Fuji" has a very detailed record of Xu Fu's family.

"It's time to eat!" A middle-aged woman's voice rang out. It was Lu Yu's mother.

Lu Yu answered, and when he looked at the time, it turned out that it was 7 o'clock in the evening before he knew it. I had to turn off the computer and walk out of the room.

At the dinner table were a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman, and that was Lu Yu's parents. It can be seen that Lu Yu looks quite similar to his father, while his mother is kind, both of them are not tall, the father is more than 1.7 meters, and the mother is only less than 1.6 meters at most.

"I'm always in front of the computer all day long!" Father Lu glared at him, "Can you get something useful?" ”

The mother added, "How was the interview today?" ”

"Wait for the notice." Lu Yu replied.

"Hmph, needless to say, I won't be admitted again." Father Lu shook his head and continued to eat, no longer talking to him.

The mother shook her head helplessly.

Also, I haven't worked at home for two years, and in the past two years, Lu Yu has relied on the computer technology he learned before, installed a few computers for acquaintances, repaired computers, and with experience, he is also quite familiar with the smartphone system that has emerged in the past two or three years, and he also sells a few smartphones, but because he has no fixed income, his parents have been dissatisfied with this.

When I get older, I can't find a job anymore, and I can't get a wife.

It is Lu Yu's habit to take a bath after eating dinner and resting for a while, and it is also the habit of their whole family, his father works early during the day and rests early at night, and his mother also retires, and does not go to teach anymore, and is a full-time housewife at home, and is also used to taking care of the housework early at night, and then he can go to see the theater of Hong Kong and Taiwan.

After rejecting a few more friends' dates, Lu Yu hid in his room and continued to watch his "The Story of Plains". At this time, his whole mind was on this translation, and he didn't have the heart to go out to pick up girls.

Empty and spiritual, only the world

The red dust is hard to pull out

The will does not leave the emperor's dream

What is the favor of other family Heng

Lu Yu read the poem again. Lu Yu felt that Li Si also planned to get rid of Zhao Gao in the end and wanted to be the emperor himself, otherwise he would not have written such an "anti-poem". This kind of seven-character poetry was actually rare in the Qin Dynasty, and most of them were based on fu. However, the word "poet" has actually existed since the Warring States Period, and the annotation of "Chu Ci * Nine Debates" says: "I admire the poet's legacy, and I wish to entrust Zhi to vegetarian food." It can be seen that the early poets focused on words and aspirations. And the annotation of "Zhengzitong" said: "Qu Yuan's work is divorced, and his words are worried, and now he is called a poet who is a saucher." This is the earliest reference to the word "poet".

Since then, "poet" has become a term used by the Han and Han people. After the rise of resignation, the term "resignation" was born. Yang Xiong's "Fa Yan * My Son" said: "The poet is endowed with rules, and the poet is endowed with beauty." The distinction between "rules" and "obscenity" to divide poets and poets shows that in the Han Dynasty, "poets" were regarded as noble, while "poets" were regarded as relatively lowly.

At that time, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all succumbed to Zhao Gao's obscenity, and Qin II was even more absurd, Li Si alone was powerless to return to the sky, even if he instigated the descendants of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms to rebel, Li Si may not be able to lead, so in the end, he could only end up being beheaded by Zhao Gao.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through Lu Yu's mind, and after thinking for a few minutes, he wrote on the paper:

Rizhao Shenzhou dragon soul,

Bengen Huaxia Yan Huang Sun.

When he went, he held the Qin Emperor's decree,

After death, forget your Lingzun.

Then the word "looking for immortals" is used as the title.

"Haha." Lu Yu took a look at his "masterpiece" with satisfaction and published it in his log space. After a while, it attracted comments and likes from several people in the circle of friends.

This is also one of Lu Yu's hobbies, although it is difficult to be elegant, but it can be regarded as satisfying himself.

After reading "The Story of Plains", Lu Yu felt a burst of shock in his heart. Although it has long been rumored that Zhao Gao and Li Si conspired to kill Qin Shi Huang, and changed the edict, killed Fusu and praised Hu Hai, and as the bamboo and wood book left by Li Si, it inevitably added a valuable evidence to Qin Shi Huang's deeds. Sadly, the originals are kept in the British Library and are not open to the public, and an e-book alone does not serve any purpose at all.

I don't know what year and month this bamboo and wood book can be returned to its original owner. Lu Yu thinks that he doesn't have this ability, but Ji Shaodian and his friends may be able to contact some big names such as patriotic overseas Chinese and wealthy businessmen to try to get back what belongs to the country.

At this time, the familiar mobile phone ringtone rang, and it was a call from Xiaolin.

"Brother Yu, are you free?"

"Is there something wrong?"

"If you have time, come over quickly, they all say that December 20th is the end of the world, of course I have to hold a small event here. Now everyone is having a 'doomsday party' with me, just waiting for you." ”

"It's so boring." Lu Yu thought about it for a while, anyway, he had nothing to do after reading "The Story of Plains Jin", so he promised Xiaolin, and by the way, he could bring the USB flash drive over and put it in Xiaolin's store and return it to Ji Shaodian.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yu thought about it, and always felt that there was something important that had not been done, but he couldn't think of it for a while.

By the way, make a copy of the data in the USB flash drive and save it!

Lu Yu wanted to copy the e-book to his computer's hard drive, but found that Ji Shaodian's USB flash drive had an encryption program added to it, and it couldn't be copied!

Damn, I had to waste some time.

However, after trying a few methods, Lu Yu found that he couldn't crack the encryption program in the USB flash drive.

I just downloaded a few cracked programs.,Against this USB flash drive,Still no effect.。

Is this precious information going to be returned to others? Lu Yu was unwilling, but he couldn't think of any good way to save the information in the USB flash drive for a while.

Yo ho! I'm really in love with you, I don't believe I can't do anything about you!

Lu Yu smiled and used the stupidest method - taking pictures with his mobile phone.
