Chapter 350: The Scapegoat

After dealing with the meteorite incident, Qin Shi Huang recalled the previous Yingfu Shouxin incident, and his heart was even more depressed, why are these two things related to his life and death and the destruction of the country?

He couldn't figure it out, and just like that, he fell ill.

Zhao Gao saw that Qin Shi Huang was still afraid of death despite eating the elixir, so he decided to start from this aspect, and he found out that Qin Shi Huang had thrown a piece of jade into the river when he sacrificed to the god of water 10 years ago, so he sent someone to the river to salvage and find the piece of jade.

In order to make this matter more mysterious, Zhao Gao found a strange-looking person to be responsible for sending jade, this person's name is You Lingzi, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a person, but more like his name - ghost, gloomy, erratic, I don't know where Zhao Gao found it.

No, on a dark and windy night, Qin Shi Huang sent Zhao Dian, a messenger who was looking for a monk to pray for his blessings and avoid trouble, was on his way, and was stopped by this "ghost" when he passed through the Huayin path.

Zhao Dian was so frightened that he ran away, but You Lingzi was still ghostly, no matter where Zhao Dian ran, You Lingzi would appear in front of him.

After a long time, Zhao Dian was finally too tired to walk, knelt in front of You Lingzi and kept begging for mercy, and said: "I, Zhao Dian, have never done anything hurtful in my life, why do you want to follow me?" "He actually regarded You Lingzi as a ghost, and this You Lingzi did look like a ghost.

You Lingzi threw the jade bi in front of Zhao Dian and said, "Please give this jade bi to the water god Jichi Jun for me." ”

Zhao Dian exclaimed: "I don't know the god of water...... You're looking for the wrong person, right? ”

You Lingzi didn't answer, and continued: "Ancestral Dragon died this year. ”

"What ancestral dragon?"

You Lingzi continued: "This year, the ancestral dragon died...... This year, the ancestral dragon died ......"

Zhao Dian looked at this piece of jade and asked, "Where should I go to find Yu Chijun?" ”

You Lingzi still ignored him, and disappeared into the darkness.

Zhao Dian didn't know what to do, so he had to come back with the jade bi and ask Qin Shi Huang.

After Qin Shi Huang heard the word "ancestral dragon", he was stupid on the spot, isn't this ancestral dragon himself? In this way, it means that Qin Shi Huang will die this year?

He was silent for a long time and replied, "This ancestral dragon refers to the ancestors of people. ”

Zhao Dian asked, "Why did the ancestors of the people die this year?" ”

Qin Shi Huang replied: "The little ghost in the mountains only remembers the events of one year, of course this year. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Dian asked, "Where is Jun Jichi?" ”

Qin Shi Huang replied: "You leave the jade bi first, and then tell you after I verify it." ”

Zhao Dian couldn't ask for it, so he immediately handed over the jade bi to Qin Shi Huang, left the palace quickly, and quickly washed it with grapefruit leaves when he returned home, washing away all the bad luck in his body.

Qin Shi Huang took the jade to the palace in charge of the imperial supplies to identify, and found that this piece of jade was the one he threw into the river when he was paraded across the river 10 years ago, and the name of the water god was called Zhuchi Jun!

All kinds of signs were aimed at Qin Shi Huang, which made his heart sick even more. So, he began to sacrifice to the heavens for divination, in order to avoid evil and seek good fortune.

The final results were: first, the Minister of Trouble; second, the migration of people; Third, go on patrol.

Qin Shi Huang asked Zhao Gao: "To whom should this minister be moved?" ”

Zhao Gao said with a smile: "In the whole world, only Prime Minister Li Si can bear the calamity of His Majesty. ”

Qin Shi Huang exclaimed: "How can this be done? Li Sinai was the founding minister of the country, and he had assisted me for many years, how could I treat him like this? ”

Zhao Gao said: "It is precisely because of this that he is qualified to suffer this disaster for His Majesty, and isn't this the time for him to prove his loyalty to His Majesty?" ”

Qin Shi Huang thought about it again and again, but he still felt that it was inappropriate, but when he thought that either Li Si would die or die himself, he hesitated again.

This matter quickly reached Li Si's ears, Li Si was extremely angry, ran to Zhao Gao's theory, and said angrily: "Zhao Gao, why do you want to harm me? ”

Zhao Gao said with a smile: "This is all what those monks said, the prime minister has to think about the country of Daqin, the so-called monarch wants his ministers to die, and ministers have to die, don't you call your loyalty to Your Majesty all day long, the sun and the moon can be learned?" Let's make it for everyone to see! ”

Li Si was annoyed and angry, and said, "It must be those Fang Shi who are bewitching Your Majesty, see how I clean them up!" ”

After speaking, he began to arrest the monks, and charged him with bewitching the lord, and killed all the hundreds of monks who divined for Qin Shi Huang that day.

Qin Shi Huang once also carried out a book burning pit Confucianism, the pit is also the Fangshi, not the Confucian, this is also Li Si's proposal, only in this way can the rumors stop, this method can be said to be very unique, but also so that later generations have lost a lot of precious books and historical materials.

It seems that pit killing is particularly popular in this period, and Li Si's pit killing is really small compared to Bai Qi's pit killing of Zhao State's 400,000 troops......

When Qin Shi Huang learned of this, he was very angry, and immediately summoned Li Si and asked, "Why did you kill all the monks who prayed for me?" Don't you know they're saving me? ”

Li Si replied: "These Fang Shi are talking nonsense, Your Majesty has already taken the elixir of life, how can he die?" ”

"But this elixir can't make me immortal, if someone assassinates or poisons me, I will still die......"

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about these things, I can order Li Liefeng and Li Qi to protect Your Majesty day and night, and strictly control Your Majesty's diet, won't all this be solved?"

"Oh? Do you mean the Richie who destroyed the venue? This person is indeed brave, but in my opinion, he is not as good as Zhao Gao beside me. ”

"Since Your Majesty has Zhao Gao's protection, why are you afraid of the assassins?"

"That's right! Zhao Gao, you immediately move into the palace and accompany me day and night! ”

"Slaves obey!" Zhao Gao was even more happy when he heard it, didn't this make him get closer to Qin Shi Huang? I thought to myself, "Shouldn't I thank Lees?" Hey hey ......"

Li Si thought that his life would be saved, but at this time, a large number of monks came from outside the palace, praying for Qin Shi Huang to make decisions for the innocent people who died in vain.

Qin Shi Huang said angrily: "Li Si, Li Si, look at the good things you have done!" ”

Li Si smiled: "It seems that these scholars still haven't tasted the bitterness, why don't Your Majesty burn books again?" ”

Qin Shi Huang said: "No need, the last time I heard your words, I killed four hundred Fang Shi, but the trouble has not stopped until now, this method is useless at all!" ”

Zhao Gao saw that Qin Shi Huang was beginning to be dissatisfied with Li Si, so he decided to find You Lingzi again.

You Lingzi immediately summoned a large number of people like him to make trouble in the palace, pretending to be a dead priest to avenge Qin Shi Huang, causing him to stay awake all night and become more seriously ill.

After dawn, the haunting of the palace soon spread throughout Xianyang City, and everyone talked about it, and people were panicked, and they all pointed the finger at Li Si.

This was the case for several days in a row, and Qin Shi Huang had no choice but to let Zhao Gao guard by the bedside, but when Zhao Gao saw the hell, he screamed even more exaggeratedly, which scared Qin Shi Huang badly......

In the middle of the night, Qin Shi Huang finally couldn't bear it anymore and ordered Li Si to be arrested immediately, and he was beheaded in the city tomorrow to complain to the people.

In an instant, a large number of soldiers had surrounded the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the people inside were still asleep, completely unaware of the impending disaster.

Just heard a "boom", and the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was directly slammed open, breaking everyone's dreams, and even the wizard was so frightened that he fell out of bed...... (To be continued.) )
