Chapter 14: The Death of the Ancestral Dragon?
Chunting didn't disappoint us either, looking at his reaction, he really knew the mystery.
Seeing our expectant eyes, he smiled indifferently, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea gently, it seemed that his emotions had calmed down, and asked us calmly.
"From another point of view, you might as well think about how credible the account of the ancestral dragon's death is in the book."
Ling Xuan is erudite and talented, at this moment he finally has the opportunity to reveal one by one, when we heard Chun Ting's words and think seriously, he opened his mouth confidently, and quickly said the record of the death of the First Emperor in the historical records.
"To the plains and get sick. The first emperor died badly, and the ministers did not dare to say death. The illness is very beneficial, but it is for the seal book to give the son Fu Su and say: "Buried with the funeral meeting in Xianyang." 'The book has been sealed, and Zhao Gao has been ordered to carry out the Fu Xi Office in the CRRC Mansion, and has not been granted to the messenger. In July, the First Emperor collapsed on the dune platform. Prime Minister Si is out of the way, afraid that the princes and the world will change, it is a secret, and there will be no mourning. …… Line from the straight road to Xianyang, mourning. The crown prince Hu Hai ascended the throne as the second emperor. In September, the first emperor was buried. ”
Seeing Shen Lang and Qi Zhi's puzzled eyes, Ling Xuan took the trouble to speak again and translated for the two of them.
What he is talking about is Sima Qian's record in the historical records, simply put, Qin Shi Huang in the process of the eastern tour, Yu Pingyuanjin fell seriously ill, and when the convoy marched to the sand dune platform, Qin Shi Huang felt that he could no longer support it, so he left a testament to Gongzi Fusu, so that after his death, Gongzi Fusu returned to Xianyang to participate in his funeral.
At that time, this edict was not handed over to the envoy and was not made public, but was stored in the place of Zhao Gao, the commander of the Middle East Prefecture, and waited until the seventh day of Bingyin, Qin Shi Huang was seriously ill and died in the Dune Palace.
At this time, Prime Minister Li Si thought that the emperor had died in a foreign country, and was worried that the princes would take advantage of the chaos to create changes, so he kept the matter a secret and did not release the news of the funeral. At the same time, food was offered whenever they went to the appropriate place, and the hundred officials performed to the emperor as usual, and only Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, and five or six favored eunuchs knew that Qin Shi Huang had died.
Because Qin Shi Huang died in the middle of the road, Li Si was afraid that Gongzi Fusu and the general Meng Tian knew that Qin Shi Huang was dead, and the world had changed, so he ordered to rush back to Xianyang day and night, and put Qin Shi Huang's body in the car, from Jingcheng to Jiuyuan, it was a hot summer, Qin Shi Huang's body in the car sent a foul smell, he ordered the entourage officials, let them put a stone of fishy pickled fish into the car, and use the smell of pickled fish to cover the smell of the corpse decomposing.
At the same time, Zhao Gao secretly discussed with Hu Hai and Li Si to open the letter of succession given by the first emperor to Gongzi Fusu, and at the same time lied that Li Si accepted the edict of the first emperor in the sand dunes, and made the prince Hu Hai the crown prince, and at the same time wrote a letter to Gongzi Fusu and Meng Tian, listing their crimes and ordering them to commit suicide.
The convoy traveled all the way, turning back to Xianyang from the straight road, and arrived in Xianyang before issuing the announcement of the death of the first emperor, Hu Hai inherited the throne, that is, the second emperor, in September of the same year, the first emperor was buried in Lishan, that is, the legendary Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, an emperor through the ages, and has been sleeping in Lishan since then.
In the past reading this account, because I have never been involved in it, so I have never thought about it, but now after so many secrets, I have connected and thought about it carefully, and I only feel strange and inexplicable, and there are many doubts.
Regardless of whether Zulong died or disappeared, just the statement that Li Si changed the edict in the historical records may not make sense.
Li Si learned the art of the emperor from Xunzi, and after completing his studies, he entered Qin, and played an important role in the Qin Emperor's sweeping of the six-in-one domination of the world, and finally worshiped the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, and the first emperor Yingzheng was so suspicious that he could trust a person who was not a native of Qin, and finally let him sit in the position above the ten thousand people below this person, which shows how loyal and extraordinary this person is.
Ancestral Dragon is an emperor through the ages, and it is natural that there will be no mistake in looking at people, since Li Si can make him trust so much, there must be something worthy of trust, even if the first emperor really died and the Dune Palace, how could he team up with Zhao Gao to change the will of the first emperor in secret, and at the same time harm the son Fusu, Meng Tian and Meng Yi, so that the weak and incompetent Hu Hai finally ascended the throne, thus ruining the foundation of Great Qin?
And since the general Meng Tian is a pseudonym for nothing, as a person who once killed millions of people, even if he is under the pseudonym Meng Tian, he can also "but the Huns for more than 700 miles, so that the Hu people dare not go south and graze horses, and the soldiers dare not bend their bows and revenge." ”
He was ordered by Zu Long to build the Great Wall, and we have already speculated that this Great Wall may be related to the dragon vein, and since he is in charge of such an important matter, how could he commit suicide with just one letter, no matter how he thinks about it, this is not in line with his prestige of killing gods and men.
And Gongzi Fusu, according to records, is resolute and brave, believing in people and fighting hard. He was generous and far-sighted, and was ordered by Zulong to go to Shangjun to assist the general Meng Tian in building the Great Wall and resisting the Xiongnu.
Although the story of Chunting does not mention Fusu and his people, since he is known as a virtuous person, and he can build the Great Wall of China with Meng Tian, which is related to the dragon vein of Shenzhou, he is not an ordinary character, so the character will naturally not die of suicide just because of a letter, not to mention that Meng Tian is with him, even if someone harms him, it is difficult to defeat the power of killing gods.
By analogy, there is also a lot of writing about the time and place of the ancestral dragon's death.
According to the records of the First Emperor, Qin Shi Huang died in July of the 37th year, but after later research, there was no Bingyin day in July of that year.
In the "Historical Records", it is recorded that the first emperor collapsed in the sand dunes, but the "Zhao Zhengshu" records that the first emperor has reached the Bairen when he was seriously ill.
Whether it is the time or place, the mystery of Qin Shi Huang's final death varies from place to place, and it is difficult not to wonder how much of these accounts are truly credible.
Linked to the strange behavior of Li Si and Meng Tian, I have a rough guess in my heart, maybe the records in these historical books are not realistic, the first emperor did not die violently in the Dune Palace that day, but there is something else, all the records are made up by later generations, but I don't know why this move.
The doubts and doubts in my heart were revealed, and everyone said that it made a lot of sense after hearing them.
We were going to try to guess what was going on on our own, but after thinking about it, we had even more doubts in our minds.
In desperation, he could only hope for Chunting, he was the only person here who knew these ancient secrets, and the stories told from his mouth were naturally more convincing than these apocryphal records.
Seeing that I had roughly guessed the truth, Chunting finally stopped flickering, stood up, bowed deeply to the northwest, and then turned back to face us, with a majestic face, and slowly spoke.
"Zulong Yingzheng is such a thorough figure, how can he let Zhao Gao change the edict, in fact, he did not die violently in the Dune Palace, but he did not disappear!"
