746. Die before you are born
If it is confirmed that this corpse is Lu Buwei's, then the appearance of his death is too miserable, it seems that he went through a violent struggle before his death, and then he did not dare to die.
Before the gray strategist entered the battlefield, he had a lot of background, and he was a history professor.
He looked at the bones and told us some secrets, and everyone also thought it was a story after dinner, and listened to it intentionally or unintentionally.
Although Qin Shi Huang has the glory of "an emperor through the ages", if according to Sima Guang in Zizhi Tongjian, Yingzheng's background is not from the Qin royal family, but more like Lü Buwei's son.
Moreover, Ying Zheng and his father and son Chu were able to ascend to the throne of the monarch of Qin, and Lü Buwei can be said to have made great contributions.
Lü Buwei's position as prime minister was removed by King Yingzheng of Qin, and later King Yingzheng of Qin again ordered Lü Buwei's entire family to move to Shu to live.
However, Lü Buwei was afraid of Yingzheng's further pursuit and killing, and it is said that after seeing Yingzheng's letter, he decided to commit suicide by taking poison. So, why did Yingzheng force his own father Lu Buwei to death?
First of all, Lü Buwei tarnished the reputation of Empress Dowager Zhao and even himself.
Before Qin Shi Huang was born, Lü Buwei dedicated Zhao Ji to Zi Chu.
After Ying Zheng was born, the major vassal states rumored that Lü Buwei was Ying Zheng's biological father.
After Yingzheng ascended the throne, his mother, Empress Dowager Zhao, still had an affair with Lü Buwei.
Later, Lü Buwei was worried about the East Window incident, so he simply asked Chang Yu to serve the Empress Dowager Zhao instead of him.
This Chang Yu not only had an adulterous affair with the Empress Dowager Zhao, but even gave birth to two sons, which undoubtedly threatened Yingzheng's royal power. For this reason, after suppressing the forces of Chang Yu, King Yingzheng of Qin threw his anger on Empress Dowager Zhao and Lü Buwei.
However, considering Lü Buwei's merits and too many people pleading, Yingzheng only temporarily let Lü Buwei go. However, after the incident subsided for a period of time, especially after Lü Buwei's power gradually weakened, Yingzheng still decided to get rid of Lü Buwei and maintain the reputation of the Empress Dowager and himself.
Second, Lü Buwei's power had jeopardized the power of King Yingzheng of Qin. When Lü Buwei was in power, there was no shortage of elite talents among the 3,000 disciples, and not only that, Lü Buwei also hyped up and promoted his Lü Spring and Autumn Festival.
Militarily, Lü Buwei actively attacked the Three Jin Dynasty during his reign, and divided the six kingdoms between the north and the south by establishing the Eastern Commandery, breaking the alliance of the six countries to resist the unification of Qin.
More importantly, Lü Buwei, who assisted two generations of monarchs, had already formed a huge group in terms of political power.
And this political group made the suspicious Qin Wang Yingzheng even more suspicious.
Moreover, the Ying Zheng, which advocates Legalist thought, implements the way of the overlord established during the Shang Dynasty Reform Period.
However, during Lü Buwei's tenure as Xiangguo, he intentionally or unintentionally undermined the authority of the monarch's Yiyantang. For example, after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Qin State advocated killing the enemy to be promoted. However, after Lü Buwei took power, he was propagating the use of righteous soldiers to punish tyrants, resulting in a relative decrease in the killing of the Qin army.
In addition, Lü Buwei advocated Confucianism's morality-based and royal benevolence in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Lü family.
As a result, differences in political views prompted Qin Shi Huang and Lü Buwei to part ways.
In the end, if Qin Shi Huang did not force Lü Buwei to die, it was likely that a new Lü Da creditor would be born, that is, he would try to invest in state power, and even lend money to other countries to fight wars to obtain huge profits, just like the Rothschilds in Europe.
Ruthless is always the emperor's family, with these reasons, even if Lü Buwei is Yingzheng's father, Yingzheng can't tolerate him.
"Since the gray clothes said that Lu Buwei committed suicide by poisoning, why did his body appear here." I asked.
Gray Yi smiled slightly: "Historical data can also deceive people, a lot of history is mixed with countless political and political factors, so history is not necessarily correct, on the contrary, the clues in it can find some of the truth of the skin, in my opinion, this Lu Buwei is not false to take poison and died, but it is not necessarily his own poison, it is likely that the King of Qin made him take poison." ”
I gasped when I heard this, I was shocked by this matter, but this matter is still speculation, and it is just the speculation of the gray clothes.
Now that the torches are lit, I see a stone chamber all around, which is very dull and gives people a depressing feeling.
And there is no way here, as if it were a dead end.
"It's a legendary mission, just to see a dead man?"
The voices around him began to complain.
I lit a torch and looked around, trying to find some mechanism that could lead to the way.
Click......
A sound came from behind me, and I turned back suddenly, stunned to find that something was suddenly strange on the ground.
When I looked closely, I found that a large area of silvery-white liquid had appeared on the ground, which was flowing from all directions.
I exclaimed, "What's going on? ”
A psychic wanted to cry without tears: "Just now I was holding on to the wall to move forward, but I didn't expect a piece of the wall to suddenly sink in, as if it had been opened a certain ...... Organ! ”
"What?!" The gray-clothed strategist next to him had a gloomy face, "Didn't you say when you came, we must be careful!" You...... You're still ......."
"What kind of liquid are these?" I asked.
"It's mercury." The shocked man next to him said, "But so much mercury is still rare, everyone avoid, don't be overwhelmed by this mercury!" ”
"Brother...... Save me. "A young psychic's lips trembled, his face twisted together, and upon closer inspection, he fell to the ground, his body covered with mercury, and the floor of the stone chamber where we were was was uneven,
Shocked and pulled out a long knife, he was about to go over, but the unexpected happened.
The mercury began to rise slowly, and then gathered into a liquid human form formed by the condensation of mercury, and the appearance of that human form stunned all the fourteen of us present.
And at this time, the liquid figure with a sparkling body gathered into the form of a woman, and she opened her arms and hugged the psychic.
The psychic was a young lad with moist eyes and tears streaming down his face: "Let go of me, let go of me!!" ”
He struggled hard, and immediately took out a pale yellow pearl from his bosom, which emitted a strong light, but the liquid human form was not affected by him, and she hugged him tightly.
The man next to us was about to run over, only to find that tentacles made of mercury condensed seeped out of the ground and entangled one of us in the legs.
Mercury is a liquid metal, which is heavy and makes our feet as immobile as lead.
Suddenly, the liquid humanoid body plunged into the mercury with the psychic in its arms, and disappeared!
I looked left and right, and saw that there was a pipe not far away, like a pipe for tap water, that was constantly oozing mercury, and I gritted my teeth, picked up the mad demon halberd and stabbed it.
There was only a loud bang, and the pipe was filled, and the mercury around it began to recede from the stone chamber at a very fast speed.
The mercury seeped into the floor, and the cracks absorbed all the mercury.
But there is a corpse on the ground, that is, the psychic just now, the flesh of the whole body is gone, the clothes and everything are very intact, but except for the bones, the flesh and blood have disappeared.
It's like a person who strayed into a piranha pool, and only a skeleton was left after being bitten!
The surrounding haze became more and more serious, everyone looked at each other, and no one thought that there would be such a strange trap in this place.
"Lin Xiongtu!" The butcher strode towards me, grabbed my clothes and said, "Why don't you do it sooner, then my little brother won't die!" ”
"I didn't find out in the first place, and ...... Why can't you do it if I have to? I asked.
The butcher's eyes were red, as if he were a wild beast, eager to swallow me in one gulp.
He said, "You are very reasonable! ”
Just as he was about to fight, the people in the front row yelled: "The butcher is back!" Now we have no way back! ”
"What?" Everyone looked at each other and was immediately shocked.
Shocked and said: "Our entrance is blocked by stones, this is the Broken Dragon Stone, hard as steel, I'm afraid we have already started this mission, and this mission does not go to the last step, everyone will not be able to go out!" ”
