Chapter 26: Cannibalism (I)

Xiang Yu saw Xiang Zhuang blocking his way, and in a fit of rage, he picked up a bow and arrow from the saddle, aimed at Xiang Zhuang, and shouted: "This is an opportunity, don't stop me!" ”

Xiang Zhuang saw that Xiang Yu was angry, so he had to put down his sword and raise his hands high to show his sincerity, Xiang Yu's mood gradually stabilized, at this time, Xiang Zhuang rode away, in front of Xiang Yu, arched his hand and said: "Brother don't blame my brother for being troublesome, this is not the best time to assassinate the emperor, please listen to my words, be patient and patient!" ”

Xiang Yu didn't know in his heart that if he did things blindly, he would lose Xiang Liang's layout, but Qin Shihuang had passed Huiji three times, and Hu Hai also came to Huiji this year, every time he had the opportunity, he gave up like this, Xiang Yu was really unwilling in his heart, especially when he had mastered the two thousand private troops of Huiji County at this time, and had a legitimate reason to enter and exit Huiji Mountain, the opportunity was particularly important.

But Xiang Zhuang's advice still calmed Xiang Yu's heart a little, at this time, from a distance, a patrolling Qin army galloped over, Xiang Zhuang was afraid of Xiang Yu's exposure, causing trouble, and Xiang Yu exchanged glances, Xiang Yu had to order, the whole army returned to the city.

The Qin army and Xiang Yu's army passed by, they had thirty people, it was a small patrol, at this time it had gone into the distance, Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang were on horse, slowly advancing towards Huiji, at this time, Xiang Yu asked: "We have given up the opportunity to assassinate the emperor again and again, I don't know when the revenge of grandfather and father will be avenged!" ”

There was a hint of complaint in Xiang Yu's tone, and Xiang Zhuang had to sigh lightly: "I didn't want to take revenge." ”

Xiang Zhuang looked up at Xiang Yu and saw that he was also staring at him, so he had to continue: "However, the time is not yet ripe, we can't be reckless!" ”

"The time is not ripe! This sentence is said every time, does it have to wait for Hu Hai to die violently like the first emperor, can it be regarded as the will of heaven? Is the time ripe? Xiang Yu roared in displeasure, but Xiang Zhuang was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Brother, think about it, no matter how stupid the first emperor is, he will not let Fusu not stand, but go back to give death to Fusu and support Hu Hai to ascend the throne, there is some kind of conspiracy in the middle." ”

Speaking of this, Xiang Zhuang laughed cruelly, and said: "It can be seen that Hu Hai's ascension to the throne must be a conspiracy and then act, and since he dares to force Fusu to death, is it possible that the nobles in Xianyang and Fusu's old henchmen, Wang Sun Guixuan, are all stupid?" Hu Hai is making a tour of the east, and Xianyang will inevitably set off a strong wind// wave, brother, just wait to see a good show. ”

After speaking, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but look up and laugh, although Xiang Yu seemed to believe it or not, but also heard a hint of clues, so he had to nod slightly, at this time, the secret sentry sent out by Xiang Yu rushed over, and said beside Xiang Yu: "Marquis, we have found out the news, His Majesty the Emperor's car drove down the mountain for some reason, and was ready to return to Xianyang." ”

"Really?" Xiang Yu asked urgently, the dark whistle nodded, and continued: "I heard that they are about to set off, and there is no delay for a moment. ”

Hearing the news, Xiang Yu couldn't help but look at Xiang Zhuang, perhaps, this matter was really said by Xiang Zhuang, thinking of this, Xiang Yu couldn't help but look up and laugh, but at this moment, from not far away, thousands of cavalry galloped on the official road, they had a clear purpose, and went straight to Wucheng, it seems that Hu Hai is really ready to return to Beijing.

。。。。。。

In this world, paper can't contain fire, and there is no impermeable wall, especially in the face of politics, a little wind and grass will make a storm in the city.

The news that Fusu was forced to die, I don't know from what channel, was widely spread by people, especially Xianyang, this incident set off a heated discussion of the wind // waves, more of the royal family, the other sons and daughters of the first emperor are even more hotly discussed about this matter, many people are also instigated by some officials, ready to overturn the case for Fusu and overthrow Hu Hai's throne.

In a nondescript tavern, a group of black-clad teenagers were discussing the matter, and their voices were so loud that they attracted the attention of the other table diners, many of whom simply came over and stood beside them, listening to their heated discussion: "Have you heard? At the beginning, His Majesty's edict was ready to set up the eldest son Fusu, but I don't know why, this will changed when it came out of Luanyu. ”

"Why, someone must have done it." A man with a beard on his face, sneering disdainfully.

"Yes, I also heard that this incident was done by Zhao Gao, Li Si and others, they are really bold enough!" A person whispered, but it caused the dissatisfaction of his companions on the side: "If the edict can be tampered with, is there still truth in this world?" ”

"Alas......" An old man sighed, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "It's not terrible to revise the edict, but the terrible thing is that they actually forced Fusu Gongzi to death!" ”

When the old man said this, he looked outside the tavern, and saw that no one was paying attention, he continued: "Corporal Lixian, the prince of Fusu, once held the Zhaoxian Pavilion for the Qin State, although something happened later, the Zhaoxian Pavilion was destroyed, and the people were buried alive, and the person named Xiang Zhuang also died in this incident, but in any case, the heart of the Fusu Gongzi is towards our people, but now that Hu Hai has ascended the throne, he not only does not revise the politics and law, but also levies forced labor and builds the Afang Palace, which makes the people everywhere miserable, this kind of emperor, don't do it!" ”

"You don't want to die!" A young man looked around cautiously and rebuked the old man: "It's better to say less about this kind of rebellious thing!" ”

The old man also felt that he had talked too much, so he had to wave his hand and sigh: "Don't talk about this topic." ”

As soon as the old man's words fell, everyone was about to return to their tables and continue drinking, but at this moment, an army broke into the tavern, they were holding Changge, some men, women and children, all arrested, and an officer entered the house to look at it, and waved the order: "Arrest them all!" ”

On the other corner of Xianyang Street, a wine shop was also looted by officers and soldiers, and all the guests were taken away, and in the afternoon, a large number of Qin soldiers poured // into Xianyang City, and they began to arrest Confucian scholars on a large scale, arrest passing guests, and arrest anyone who dared to discuss Fusu and Huhai, and arrested no less than 7,000 people.

In the afternoon, Hu Hai's Luan drove back to Xianyang City, Zhang Han's 300,000 troops were stationed in the east of Xianyang, and the rest of the soldiers and horses began to be strictly forbidden in Xianyang City, no matter who they were, they were not allowed to gather to drink, they were not allowed to go out at night, they were not allowed to leave Xianyang, and those who dared to disobey the order were killed.

There was chaos in the city of Xianyang, and the people complained, but this did not change the violent behavior of the Qin army, every day someone was arrested, someone was killed on the street, the streets were stained red with blood, and the sounds of crying, complaining, and begging for mercy resounded all over the streets of Xianyang.

In the palace, Hu Hai is also difficult to sleep, the heated discussion in Xianyang City has been full of storms, at this time, in order to calm the heated discussion, Hu Hai has ordered Zhang Han to arrest thousands of people, but the number is increasing every day, so if it continues, it will inevitably cause riots and uprisings, which is not what Hu Hai wants to see.

Moreover, these days have made Hu Hai unable to enjoy delicious food, unable to go to the harem to enjoy beautiful women, and the worst thing is that Hu Hai has not approached women for half a month, which is like a smoker, unable to smoke big cigarettes, his drug addiction is attacking, which makes him very painful.

Anxious and uneasy, so that Hu Hai could not sit on the dragon collapse, he paced back and forth in the main hall, below, are the henchmen Zhao Gao and Zhang Han, the two of them are already Hu Hai's right-hand men, but Zhang Han can still be almost, mainly Zhao Gao, he is not only his own teacher, but also a hero who single-handedly supports himself, Hu Hai has great respect for him, no matter what, he will be relieved to hand over to Zhao Gao to deal with, and he will not hesitate to follow any of his suggestions.

The hall was extremely quiet, Zhao Gao and Zhang Han did not say anything, Hu Hai was also anxious, sat back on the soft seat, at this time, a chamberlain came over, put a bamboo slip on the table, and bowed away, at this time, Zhao Gao said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this is the list of ministers' secret investigations, these people have participated in the conspiracy, quietly leaking the news to the people, will cause this large-scale rumor // wave." ”

Hu Hai listened to Zhao Gao's introduction, then opened the booklet, at this moment, he was shocked by the list in the book, stunned for a long time, Hu Hai woke up from the shock, on the list, most of them are royal relatives, princes and ministers, if you deal with this list, Xianyang must be messed up, thinking of this, Hu Hai angrily threw the bamboo slips on the table, hateful: "These guys who don't know whether they are alive or dead, I must investigate them one by one!" ”

But Hu Hai was afraid of causing a riot, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao was the roundworm in Hu Hai's stomach, he saw Hu Hai's thoughts, and couldn't help giggling: "Your Majesty, dealing with this kind of thing is the same as changing blood for a patient, dirty blood is the source of disease, only by letting go of dirty blood, can you continue to produce fresh blood and supply the body, so that you can live a healthier life." ”

Hu Hai saw that Zhao Gao already had a belly case, so he couldn't help leaning over, looked at Zhao Gao, and asked, "What can Zhao Qing do?" Say it! ”

Zhao Gao looked at Zhang Han on the side, looked at Fusu, and couldn't help but smile cruelly: "In our court, many generals and officials are old officials during the first emperor's lifetime, they will not support Your Majesty, if Your Majesty can dismiss them and dispose of them, you can promote a group of new officials, these officials are grateful for the grace of Your Majesty's promotion, and will swear allegiance to Your Majesty, with the support of these officials, Your Majesty is still afraid that you will not be able to control the court?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Gao said again: "But these officials, after all, are just fish, shrimp and crab generals, they can't afford to raise big waves, the root of the big waves is in those princes and princesses, only by getting rid of them, can we never get rid of future troubles, I hope Your Majesty can cut himself." ”

At this point, Zhao Gaozai stopped talking, he closed his eyes slightly, as if he was deep in thought, and seemed to be waiting for something, I don't know how long it took, Hu Hai slapped the table, looked at Zhao Gao and Zhang Han, and said resolutely: "This matter, you two go to deal with it, you must be decisive and neat, and don't leave any hidden dangers for me." ”

Zhao Gao's purpose has been achieved, he clasped his hands into fists, bowed and sang a promise, and on the side, Zhang Han also got up and saluted: "The minister obeys the order." ”

The two left, looking at their backs, Hu Hai had mixed feelings in his heart, he hoped that Zhao Gao could take the opportunity to get rid of all the royal relatives and nobles, so that his status was as stable as Mount Tai, but he was afraid that it would cause dissatisfaction in the world, and it would be unfavorable to himself, but, no matter which one it was, Hu Hai couldn't take care of it at the moment, he hadn't contacted a woman for half a month, Hu Hai felt that his whole person was about to dry up and die, at this time the figures of the two had just walked out of the hall, Hu Hai couldn't wait to call the inner servant, and ordered: "Hurry, prepare for driving, I want to go to the harem!" ”
