Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 254: Cicada Movement
“…It’s better to kill, kill, kill!”

The ghosts and gods who witnessed the changes in Xianyang City couldn't help but mutter in private.

He saw the respectful Zhao Gao trying to find ways to please the new emperor, saw the little boy Ying Pijiang proudly playing "unlimited fighting" with his uncle Hu Hai, and saw that Li Si was still alive and well. As an old minister, he accused the Second Emperor of being "ignorant".

Then he couldn't help thinking:
For some people,

It turns out that it is better to use a knife.

And good people are always bullied.
This principle applies everywhere.

It all depends on when Fusu will react and can no longer bear it.

"But...does he have enough time?"

With this in mind, He Bo reached out and poked Shang Yang, who looked resentful, and asked him bluntly, "How long do you think the Qin Dynasty can last?"

Shang Yang glared at him unhappily, "How should I know!"

"I never use the same brain as stupid people. How can I possibly know what they are thinking?"

There are too many hidden dangers in this world.
Although seemingly calm on the surface, undercurrents are surging in secret.

One careless move,

Shang Yang couldn't be sure whether the underwater whirlpool would become bigger and tear everything apart and swallow it.

If Fusu could resolve the obstacles in the court in a timely manner and implement a gentle policy, there might be more room for maneuver.

But looking at his performance in the past few months since he took the throne...

There is really a lack of thundering measures!

Shang Yang couldn't help stamping his feet and got so angry that he turned into a puffer fish.

Just right,

He Bo, who was fishing near Haikou, also caught a puffer fish.

He maliciously put the puffed-up black and yellow croaker together with the puffed-up Shang Jun and laughed out loud.

Shang Yang became even angrier.

He grabbed the fish, then subconsciously rubbed his palm with the bulging spines and threw it into the water.

The pufferfish let out air with a "puff" and then disappeared underwater.

He also said to the ghosts and gods, "If you want to torment someone, you can go to the First Emperor. Why come to me?"

He Bo said, "He finally got together with his ancestors and enjoyed the care and love of his relatives. Why should I disturb him?"

Although before Ying Zheng died,
He was still complaining in his heart that the gods and ghosts did not give him more time so that he could deal with more things for his offspring.

But He Bo has always been open-minded.

He still went to personally welcome the soul of his friend, and after the other party had completed various processes in the underworld, he enthusiastically introduced to him the ancestors of the Qin State.

It’s just that the predecessors have different attitudes towards this successor who has realized their dreams.

A monarch like Qin Xiaogong,
I have let it go because I have been dead for too long.
In addition, as a strong supporter of Shang Yang's reforms and the monarch who laid the foundation for the unification of Qin, he was destined to go down in history and there was no need to worry about being forgotten in the old papers of history and disappearing between heaven and earth.

So he just felt that it would be good enough if "destiny" was fulfilled.

As for how many years it can last,
This is not important.

The Zhou emperor enjoyed the world for 800 years, but ultimately could not escape the destruction of his country.

Where in the world is there a dynasty that will last forever?
But King Zhaoxiang of Qin and others felt that

It is precisely because Ying Zheng acted too hastily that the country currently has too many loopholes that have not been filled.

It was obvious that they had done a good job in devouring the six kingdoms before, but now these descendants are swallowing them all in one breath, and they are about to choke themselves to death!

Ying Zheng had nothing to say about this.

Ever since he was brought by He Bo to meet these ancestors, he has remained silent and has not said a word.

King Zhuangxiang Ying Zichu could only stand up and speak for his son, retorting to his grandfather, "Since King Xiao, has anyone lived longer than you?"

"Moreover, King Wu's conquest of King Zhou was merely a continuation of King Wen's achievements, which took only two generations."

"How can it be possible to delay unifying the world and take more than ten generations to succeed?"

Who can guarantee that there will be a constant stream of wise rulers in our country and that the national policies of our predecessors will be firmly implemented?
Facts have also proved that

When it came to the next generation of Ying Zheng,
There emerged a person like Fusu, whose temperament was different from that of the Qin kings since the Warring States Period. He had some of the simplicity and honesty of the Spring and Autumn Period.

It was just that during the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Qin was betrayed too many times by other countries because it was too honest!
This ancestral characteristic,

It really can’t be inherited casually!

then,

Before Ying Zheng could say anything,
The Qin kings of all generations began to quarrel.

He Bo looked at them quarreling, shook his head helplessly, walked out and waved.

King Wu of Qin, who had always been sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, immediately realized what the gods and ghosts had summoned, and immediately spoke out to interrupt the argument between his ancestors and descendants.

"Not good!" "The rulers and ministers of the six countries are coming again!"

The Qin monarchs panicked, "They must have received the news that we were coming to see the emperor, and they came here specifically to seek revenge!"

The reason why he didn't show up before was that there were ghosts and gods protecting him.

Now that the ghosts and gods have given the signal, they naturally began to get ready.

In the face of an imminent crisis,

In front of Ying Zheng,

The predecessors simply gave up the argument and turned away.

Some of them climbed over the wall, some went through the back door, and soon they fled in different directions.

We must not let the six nations block the door!

The six countries in the underworld no longer have any unnecessary conflicts of interest. If they unite, their power will be much greater and they will be much more united than in the world of the living!
Only Ying Zheng, who knew nothing about it, was left standing there, looking in surprise at the soaring figures of his predecessors.

Before he could react,
The door of this luxurious tomb was suddenly pushed open.

King Jian of Qi walked in first, followed by his parents.

He pointed at Ying Zheng and said aggrievedly, "It was he who deceived my feelings and caused me to starve to death in the mountains!"

After saying this,

The ancestors of the six kingdoms came forward.

Ying Zheng therefore understood,

Why did his ancestors abandon him?

He had no time to complain about the unreliability of his ancestors and hurriedly avoided the pursuit of the ancestors of the six countries.

The ghosts and gods who witnessed the melee laughed and watched the fun, then found Shang Jun, who had been in seclusion for a long time, and took him to the human world to relax.

Long ago,
Shang Yang concluded that the Qin Dynasty would soon perish.

So he began to have many worries in his heart.

When the emperor became seriously ill and his life was about to run out, Shang Yang stayed indoors and often secretly wiped away his tears.

The kind-hearted ghosts and gods cannot bear to see such sorrow.

"If you're really depressed, why not talk to me more!"

He Bo said this to Shang Yang.

He took back the fishing rod and placed it on his crossed legs.

Even the ghost asked a thoughtful question, "What do you think Fusu will face in the future?"

Shang Yang said, "What else could it be? It's nothing more than a counterattack by the remnants of the six kingdoms!"

When the news of the Emperor's death spread throughout the world,

Many people have felt an inexplicable change.

The cicada that had been silent underground suddenly made an excited sound:
From the east it sounded,
Sounding from the south!
Sounding from all directions!
Countless "cicadas" flapped their wings, and were about to crawl out of the mud that covered their bodies and fly high into the sky!

It's not the hot summer yet.

They can't wait any longer.

"Of course I know this!"

He Bo said as a matter of course, "I just want to ask you, what reasons will those old ministers use to block Fusu's administration?"

If the Second Emperor fails to implement his decrees,
Then even if the world is stable, he will be turned into a puppet.

According to the system,

The emperor's power was extremely concentrated.
But this does not mean that

The subjects must obey the emperor absolutely.

There is always a delicate balance between the ruler and his subjects.

The two sides kept testing and pulling each other.
How to advance or retreat?

It all depends on the strength and determination of the tug-of-war players.

Even the First Emperor had to compromise and employ many officials from the six kingdoms!

If Fusu can't harden his heart and establish his authority as a monarch with blood, then we can't blame his subjects for becoming more and more demanding!

The struggle for power among meat eaters,
It will also affect the normal operation of a country.

After all, "internal friction" is a thing.

But it harms both others and yourself.
