Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 229 Unification of the world

In the 26th year of Qin Wangzheng's reign,
Three years after Qi's ships arrived in Japan and successfully took root,

The State of Qi was destroyed.

King Jian of Qi ultimately did not choose to board the ship and sail east.

Because he really couldn't bear to leave the prosperity and beauty of the Central Plains, and when the Qin army was at the gates of the city, he also promised him "a fief of 500 miles of land to postpone the sacrifices."

King Jian of Qi believed what the Qin people said, so he ordered the city to be opened and surrendered, allowing the Qin people to capture Linzi without bloodshed.

His brother Tian Jia chose to run away, crossing the sea from Jimo to the east. He was even a little happy that his brother did not follow him.

My brother is not coming.

If he goes to Japan, he might be able to appoint himself the new King of Qi!

Although life there is definitely not as comfortable as in the Xia Dynasty, at least you can be a "king"!

For this,

The Queen and King Xiang of Qi in the underworld just hugged each other and shed tears silently.

The queen said, "I spoiled them too much, so the children have no responsibility and courage at all."

"The Queen of Zhao once heard someone say: 'Dropping a son is like killing him', so she was willing to send her beloved Chang'an Jun to Qi as a hostage. But I failed to understand this truth in advance, and caused the fall of Qi!"

King Xiang of Qi held his beloved wife in his arms, but he was more open-minded than her and was not overly worried or sad about the fall of Qi.

He even comforted his wife, "When my father, King Min, was in power, the country should have perished. I hid in your house under a false name and would rather be a servant than reveal my identity as the new King of Qi. Doesn't this make sense?"

"I am not talented enough, nor am I decisive, and even not physically strong enough... Thanks to Tian Dan and you, I was able to complete the great cause of restoring the country and continue the sacrifice for several more decades."

"So I don't regret the outcome of Qi today, and you shouldn't be too sad."

At least,

The State of Qi was destroyed later than the other five states, and their two children also survived safely.

When Tian Jia went out to sea, the two damn parents went to check on him. He did not show any signs of seasickness or other adverse symptoms, so they thought he would be able to reach Japan safely.

So King Xiang of Qi thought:
That's already good.

But the ending is never satisfactory.

Just when King Jian of Qi was looking forward to enjoying the life of being supported by the King of Qin after losing his country, his fate was changed by the monarch in Xianyang City -

The fief of five hundred li was cancelled.

He was exiled to the mountains of Gongdi, among the pines and cypresses.

No servants served him anymore.
If he wanted to eat, King Jian of Qi had to climb trees and compete with wild birds and monkeys for food, or cultivate the land himself and wait for the next year.

But he had lived a life of luxury all his life, and now he had fallen to such a state. What could he do?

then,

King Jian of Qi was thrown alone on the mountain and eventually died of hunger and cold.

Before dying,
King Jian of Qi saw in a daze that his parents who had passed away many years ago appeared again.

The queen shed tears and confessed her mistakes.

His father also sighed at his situation and said, "With the example of King Huai of Chu before you, how can you still trust the words of the Qin people?"

King Jian of Qi just covered his stomach, feeling aggrieved and not daring to speak.

of course,

He no longer had the strength to speak.

His parents took his soul to the underworld.

Even though King Xiang of Qi and his wife could let it go, the other kings definitely couldn't help it.

They surrounded King Jian of Qi, and frightened him so much that he shouted:
"Cuck!"

"Mom and Dad, save me!"

"No one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out!"

King Wei of Qi, who always had a bad temper and was good at dealing with people, strode forward and grabbed King Jian of Qi, and then a scream was heard.

King Xiang of Qi and his wife hugged each other and shed tears, but they were unable to help their son.

After all, the ancestral temple was destroyed in his hands, which would inevitably affect the treatment of his ancestors.

The ancestors must always vent their anger.

But King Jian of Qi felt that his crime was not so serious.

Because the Qin people were cruel,

The previous coalitions had not been able to resist its offensive.

Now that the country is destroyed, how can we just blame him?
He only opened the city to surrender and performed the sheep-leading ceremony after the Qin people promised to allow him to continue the sacrifices!
"It was Qin Wang Zheng who killed me!"

"He went back on his word!"

"You should go and beat up the Qin emperor!"

King Jian of Qi was circled and kicked by his ancestors, and he screamed in pain.

King Wei of Qi was very depressed and beat him even more fiercely with his belt.

"You think we haven't tried?"

"The ancestors of the three families of Zhao, Wei and Han have been looking for them for a long time!"

But the Qin emperors were always cunning.

When King Zheng of Qin launched the war of unification, he realized that he would inevitably suffer some setbacks in the underworld and bear the bitter burden of pain and joy for his descendants.

Therefore,
They immediately hid themselves, moved to other places in the underworld, and reduced the frequency of their activities outside so that their enemies could not find them.

Even Qin's ministers such as Shang Yang and Zhang Yi went into hiding.

Only the honest ghost Heifu did not realize the danger. He was still thinking about visiting his friends in the underworld, or meeting his ancestor who had served the ghosts and gods for two hundred years.

Therefore, he became the only Qin minister who was blocked by the predecessors of the six kingdoms.

"Say it!"

"Where have all those guys from Ying Qin gone?"

"I don't know, I really don't know!"

Hei Fu was surrounded by groups of dead ghosts and could only climb onto the roof and talk to the dead ghosts below.

"You are a close minister of Ying Dang and Ying Ji, and your ancestors are still ghost officials. You must know it clearly!"

"Tell me quickly, and I'll let you go!"

Among the ancestors of the Six Kingdoms, King Wuling of Zhao, who died in his prime, was elected as the "Leader". He was holding a bow and arrow, aiming at Heifu who was squatting on the roof, and issued an ultimatum to him.

Hei Fu just slapped his thigh and cried, "If I had known, I would never have been caught by you!"

I've been hiding with you for a long time!
Seeing that he was so "stubborn", King Wuling of Zhao could only shoot the arrow in his hand. Hei Fu screamed and fell off the roof, shouting, "Liu Qing, save me!"

But after he and his old friend Liu Qing died, the areas where they lived in the underworld were divided according to the locations of their graves.

Therefore, Heifu was in Yongdi and Liu Qing was in Daliang.

The two places in the world of the living are far apart, and so is the underworld.

What's more, Liu Qing has nothing for it.

He just moved his head in the "Daliang" mansion and then sneezed loudly.

Uncle Liu, who had always been taken care of by this ancestor, immediately brought him a bowl of hot water and asked in confusion, "Can a dead ghost also catch a cold?"

Liu Qing felt that everything was fine with him, so he replied, "Maybe someone is talking about me!"

"But it shouldn't be a big deal, so we don't need to worry about it!"

Liu Qing waved his hand and went out to relax again.

Only poor Heifu was captured by the predecessors of the six kingdoms and was being paraded through the streets, in an attempt to use him to find the whereabouts of the hateful Qin people.

Heifu, who was tied with a rope and held by King Wuling of Zhao, wiped his tears and said, "I am not a hunting hawk or dog, how can I find them?"

"Then go find your ancestors!"

Hei's ancestor was a close minister of Tubo and was in charge of many affairs in the underworld, so it was very easy for him to find a few dead ghosts.

"Go!"

King Wuling of Zhao pulled the rope and walked Heifu towards the Haoli Palace.

The ghosts and gods saw all of this and laughed while sitting on the throne, clapping their hands.

He said to Lao Guixi, "Go and save your descendants!"

"He was badly tricked by the Qin Juns!"

This time,

It is really a case of "when the city gate is on fire, the fish in the pond are affected"!

Who would have thought that Heifu would be the one who got hurt in the end?
After waiting for Old Guixi to leave in confusion, He Bo yawned again and looked towards the human world.

There,

King Zheng of Qin was still not satisfied.
