Chapter 121: The First Emperor Says
The night before leaving the campus, in the small building, Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang looked around, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
"Senior brother, I'm leaving tomorrow, we have lived in this room for four years, and we have been in love for a long time, but there is a feeling of reluctance!" Ou Zhou sighed.
"Yes, this room, after all, is our second home, and it has gone through more than a thousand days and nights, accompanying us through the scenery all the way. This time, I don't know what year, looking back, the vicissitudes of time, it is really difficult to say goodbye when we meet! Jiang Yang rubbed the head of the bed and brushed the table again, "Scene by scene, piece by piece, all parting, coming in autumn and going in summer, I can't bear to leave." ”
Ou Zhou had a whim: "Senior brother, since we have such a deep affection for this room, it is better to buy it, and when we are free in the future, we can come to live again, and we can also soothe our loneliness." ”
"This is a rental house, specially prepared for students, will they sell it?"
"I think as long as the price is right, they will sell it. After all, who is going to have trouble with money? ”
"Then again, that's why we're not bad for money. But if everyone thinks like us, this house would have become someone else's territory long ago. ”
Ou Zhou nodded and said with a smile: "Senior brother, on the one hand, you have a lot of nostalgia, and on the other hand, you don't want to buy this room, this idea is a bit strange!" ”
"I just don't want the latecomers to lose a cottage that they can't forget."
"Senior brother, what should I do with the safe?"
"What do you say?"
"I have an idea, if we don't quit the lease and come back in the future, we can relive the old relationship, and the safe won't have to find a way."
"Senior brother, why don't you give the safe to the courtyard?"
"Okay, let's salute tomorrow morning, hire a car to get it over, and then we'll go to the airport."
"Okay, that's it."
"Senior brother, why don't we do another meaningful thing tonight, it should be a farewell work, right?"
Jiang Yang smiled and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
"The letter incense sent to us by the Night Wandering God has only been used up half, so it's better for us to contact the ancient sages tonight!"
"Haha, which sage in your mind is more suitable for our farewell work?"
"The First Emperor of the Ages, how is it?"
"Okay, the first emperor of the ages did our farewell ceremony, which is naturally of great significance."
The two brothers immediately got up, opened the safe, took out the Xuande furnace and the incense, lit it, inserted it into the incense burner, and the two bowed down three times and prayed silently three times.
Then he crossed his knees on the bed and closed his eyes. Keep a wisp of soul, and pay attention to the original spirit out of the body.
In a trance, a man wearing a flat sky crown, a soap-colored python robe, and a deep eagle nose and dark beard came slowly, and shouted: "Bold boy, why do you burn incense to call me?" ”
Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang brothers bowed down three times, and replied in unison: "We are the descendants of the sixth generation of the Xuanji Sutra left by the Taoist ancestor, and rashly invited the first emperor to come here for a great plan for the benefit of the common people?" ”
"Duh, when it is peaceful today, and Li Min's family is healthy, how can you talk about benefiting the common people?"
The senior brothers said in unison: "Your Majesty Rong Bing, under the appearance of peace, there are always people who act recklessly, and in the prosperous shadow, there are people who are secretly hungry for profit. For the sake of their own selfishness, some people do not hesitate to stir up trouble and harm other countries, resulting in the displacement of the Lebanese people and the difficulty of returning to their homes. Your Majesty thinks that such people should be dealt with? ”
The First Emperor held the hilt of his sword: "Who is so bold as to dare to offend the divine power of my Heavenly Empire?" ”
"Your Majesty, those who have repeatedly provoked trouble are the outsiders. Over the past few decades, the people who have suffered from it have a population of more than 100 million and countless people, resulting in the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family. In Your Majesty's opinion, what crime should such a person be punished for? ”
"There is no mercy for killing." The First Emperor's voice was like thunder, and with a wave of his big hand, he almost pulled out his sword.
"Your Majesty, the foreign state is powerful, and the power of its own selfish people is in hand, how can you kill without forgiveness?"
"Is this," the First Emperor tore his beard and muttered, "There is only one way to deal with such people?" ”
The senior brothers glanced at each other: "Your Majesty, please speak?" ”
"Back then, I was rich all over the world, with a million armor, with good men and assistants, and famous generals outside. All the countries of the world, hearing my name, are all trembling. The young people can't fight openly, so they will make secret calculations. The only way to do this is to send the dead to follow Jing Ke's example. ”
"Your Majesty, Jing Ke assassinated the king back then and was killed by the king on the spot, this method did not work in ancient times, and it is even more difficult to do it in this world."
"After a thousand years, I have no good way to deal with it."
Ou Zhou and Senior Brother Jiang Yang glanced at each other again and asked in unison, "Your Majesty thinks that such people really should be killed?" ”
"If you are a scourge, you should naturally be killed." The First Emperor waved his hand and said categorically.
"We also think that we should be killed, but everything in the world does not develop by human will. Whoever has a hard fist will be justified; Whoever has a strong military is the king of the world. Just like His Majesty did back then, there are tens of millions of people who want to kill His Majesty, but has anyone done it? ”
"Hahaha, that's true. The world is the world of the strong, this is an eternal principle. But perversely, for the sake of their own selfishness and for no reason to harm the common people, it is really hateful, such evil people, do not get rid of unhappiness. ”
"I think back then, when the people of the world looked at Your Majesty, did they also do what Your Majesty said, and they harmed the common people for their own selfishness?"
The First Emperor waved his hand and said, "What I did back then was a move to obey the heavens and the people. Although the people of the world do not understand, the major events in the world will be divided for a long time, and they will be divided for a long time. The 800-year-old Zhou royal family was in the last years of the reign when I succeeded to the throne, resulting in a group of heroes competing for hegemony, the princes competing for hegemony, and the world was in turmoil. If it weren't for the fact that my soldiers came to the world, they would sweep away the demonic atmosphere, destroy the six countries and level the world, and dominate the country. The people have just escaped from the war, and the Lebanese people have returned to their homes. In the whole world, the greatest merit is none other than me. ”
"Your Majesty is majestic and strategic, there is no one before and no one after him. However, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and the soldiers are in trouble, and it has always been the people of Li who suffer. When His Majesty killed 300,000 Zhao troops, did he ever think that their parents, wives and children, just this move, there would be millions of people crying blood and grieving. Your Majesty's tenacity of heart and ruthlessness of hands are also unprecedented and unprecedented! ”
"The two little boys are different," the First Emperor waved his hand, "Back then, if the 300,000 Zhao army didn't kill him and let him go back, it would be a return to the mountain, and the war would be fought for at least another ten years." And after ten years of war, more than 300,000 soldiers and civilians died. Rather than this, it is better to cut through the chaos quickly and slaughter all of them, so that the war will end sooner, the people will benefit as soon as possible, the world will be stable as soon as possible, and the people of Li will be happy as soon as possible. ”
However, after His Majesty swept the world in Liuhe, he did not vigorously support the people's livelihood and benefit the people, but built the Great Wall, overhauled the Afang Palace, imposed heavy labor, imposed harsh taxes, intensified the efforts, and exploited the people. What does Your Majesty understand by this move? ”
"The world is decided, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt. Inside, the remnants of the six countries are in turmoil, and outside there are Hu people and iron cavalry harassing the border. In order to make the country permanent, I had to take extraordinary measures and use thunderous means. If the Great Wall is not repaired, there will be no peace in the country, and if the civil strife is not eliminated, it will be like maggots attached to the bones, and sooner or later it will hurt the country. At that time, will there be another great chaos in my world. ”
"The Great Wall should be repaired, and civil strife should be removed. But what about His Majesty's act of burning books and pit Confucianism? ”
"Spring and Autumn culture, prosperity and prosperity, you sang and I appeared, but after a hundred schools of thought contended, the world was in chaos, all countries competed for hegemony, and the heroes rose together. Instead of educating the world, the way of Confucius and Mencius poisoned the literati and caused many sects, all of which carried out troublesome acts under the guise of indoctrination. The reader does not follow the law of etiquette, and the writer has sinister intentions. Like, if you don't get rid of it, when will the world be stable. ”
Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang Shi and the brothers glanced at each other, and asked again in unison: "Your Majesty calmed the world, exterminated the heroes, and read countless people, why can't you read a eunuch, and actually cause the death of the second generation of Jiangshan?" ”
"It's really hard to look back on. If he can go back to the past, he will definitely crush Zhao Gao's bones and ashes and destroy his nine clans. The First Emperor gritted his teeth and said.
"Your Majesty is obsessed with immortality, which caused Zhao Gao to do what he likes and gradually take power. If it weren't for His Majesty's bias to listen to and believe, his penchant for speaking outright, and the good villain and the virtuous minister, why would he die in his prime? ”
The First Emperor nodded: "For two thousand years, I have been imprisoned in the Netherworld because of too much murder and excessive desire, repenting of my previous life, I have already realized, I want to live forever and die early, and I believe in slander and lose my country, this is my two major regrets!" ”
"Your Majesty has used millions of people to repair the Afang Palace for 30 years, have you ever thought about how many families have been displaced and how many people have lost their lives in vain due to this move?"
"The people of the world, the people of me, the people of me. It is a natural and righteous way to support the king with his people, and even if he loses his life because of this, he is still loyal to me. It was their honor for the people to serve the king and build a mausoleum. ”
"Later generations have kings who once said, the king is the boat, the people are the water, the water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat. What does Your Majesty have to say about this? ”
"This is a big fallacy, without a king, there is no rule in the world, and the people are slaughtered, who will be the master for them?"
"But if Your Majesty regards the lives of the people like mustard, the people might as well not want such a king!"
"The common people, like the antelope of the grassland, and the king, like the lion among the beasts, are born with the desire to kill and seize power. If this were not the case, the population would be overflowing, the people with lust would be mixed in, and the people vying for power and profit would be everywhere, and the harm would not be endless. ”
"In order to seek immortality, His Majesty did not hesitate to send Xu Fu to Penglai with three thousand boys and girls. Spending the treasury to feed Danshi, resulting in an untimely death and the country changing hands. If there was an afterlife, would you still be such an emperor? ”
"The emperor is what I have asked for all my life, and if there is an afterlife, I will definitely be a good king loved by the people."
"If there is an afterlife, will Your Majesty still seek immortality?"
"Definitely not."
"Why?"
"I have been imprisoned in the underground palace for two thousand years, and I have already discovered life and death, and the theory of heavenly immortals is all false."
"Your Majesty's mausoleum has become a mystery for the ages, just what Your Majesty said, imprisoned in the Netherworld, does Your Majesty not live in the mausoleum, but repent in the underworld?"
The First Emperor couldn't bear to look back and said: "The people of the underworld, the place where the deceased live, although I have a huge mausoleum, but I am a lonely person, I live here all day long, I am not allowed to set foot in the world, I live in a simple place, not the underworld is better than the underworld." ”
Ou Zhou and Senior Brother Jiang Yang glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty originally thought like this. Why did you hear the call of the incense today, and come smoothly? ”
"This letter incense is made by the ancestors, and we are the ghosts who live in seclusion, and it is a great honor to be summoned by the letter incense, and we dare not come."
"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, our two brothers have already burned incense and summoned many sages in previous lives, and among the kings, only Your Majesty and Empress Zetian are the only ones."
"Oh, who else is being summoned by Shinka?"
"Liu Ji, Sanfeng Patriarch, Bodhidharma Patriarch, Buddha."
