The Great Qin Dynasty: The egg of the Black Bird was revered as a national guardian beast.

Quiet footsteps could be heard in the distance.

Fusu sat behind the desk, picked up the bamboo slips on the table and threw them over, and then his voice came.

"Get out, all of you get out!"

He bent down and picked up the bamboo slips from the ground.

Looking at the person behind the curtain, he asked, "Why is the Crown Prince throwing a tantrum instead of handling state affairs?"

Behind the desk, Fusu suddenly raised his head.

He looked at the person outside the curtain, narrowed his eyes, and then understood what was happening. "It's you, the Imperial Physician!"

Finally, his gaze shifted.

He then looked at Zhao Gao, "And you, Chief of the Imperial Carriage Office."

Leaning back behind the desk, he chuckled, "With treacherous eunuchs in power, when did my Great Qin become like this?"

Seeing Fusu like this.

Xuan Ye didn't say anything more.

He simply countered with, "Does this mean that if the Crown Prince were to rule, and you govern with benevolence, the world would be at peace?"

"You overestimate yourself, Fusu."

As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and went inside, placing the bamboo slips in his hand on the table.

He lowered his eyes and glanced at Fusu.

He raised his head again, looking at the familiar surroundings.

He said, "Your Highness, you have no idea what the state of Qin is like now, nor how many disloyal people there are."

"You believe that everything the Confucian scholars say is the truth."

"But little do they know, they gather around you only to exploit you for their own benefit."

"What do you think?"

"Can you become a qualified monarch like this?"

Fusu lowered his gaze and stared blankly at the table, seemingly lost in thought.

No more words.

Xuan Ye turned and left with Zhao Gao.

Fusu was left alone, sitting in the main hall, looking at the empty surroundings, and closed his eyes.

............

The thirty-sixth year of the First Emperor.

At the end of the year, many changes occurred in the imperial court.

Left Chancellor Li Si's power seemed to be growing more and more overtly, to the point that he could control everything.

But in secret, it was controlled by the Physician.

All the officials knew that the Crown Prince was now being sidelined, but no one dared to speak up or say anything more.

Because of the physician,

He not only commanded the palace guards and oversaw palace security, but also held military power.

In Xianyang, only the Commandant of the Guards, Meng Tian, ​​and the Guards Army under his command were able to contend with him.

Although Meng Tian was a supporter of the crown prince.

However, the Crown Prince is currently under house arrest and surveillance, and they can't even meet him normally, so there's no legitimate reason for their actions.

.............

at the same time.

Dazexiang is the only way to reach Yuyang.

Wisps of smoke rose slowly from the chimneys as the township head walked around, urging the cooks to start cooking and constantly pushing them to hurry.

"Hurry up, a county constable is escorting conscripted soldiers through here today, so make sure to prepare food for them."

Prepare a portion of rice and meat.

"As for the others, just prepare some pickles."

After making his rounds and urging those who were slacking off, the township head walked out of the township government building and looked into the distance.

Before long, more than a thousand people came walking over.

But along with them came a thick, inky cloud drifting overhead.

Among the garrison soldiers

Chen Sheng, who was temporarily appointed by the county magistrate to escort the garrison soldiers because he could read, raised his head.

Looking at the dark clouds gathering in the sky.

He smiled, then looked at the person next to him.

This man was appointed by the county magistrate because he was literate and knew some laws and regulations, and was responsible for escorting the garrison soldiers.

"Wu Guang, look there."

He looked up at the sky, a worried expression on his face. "It's going to rain heavily."

"We've already been delayed on the road for quite some time, and we encountered rain along the way. We don't know if we'll miss our deadline..."

But Chen Sheng showed no sign of worry on his face.

Not only that, but he was also secretly filled with anticipation, looking at the sky and thinking to himself.

"This is destined to be a violent storm, and I hope it doesn't stop and lasts for five days and five nights."

They walked outside the village hall.

The county constable who was escorting the conscripted soldiers was invited inside by the township head.

The remaining soldiers gathered outside, eating the food brought to them by the villagers.

But soon after, a torrential downpour began.

Once the rain started, it rained heavily for three days, and the garrison soldiers were trapped in Dazexiang for three whole days!

The county magistrate himself went to the village court to rest.

The other soldiers could only live in dilapidated shacks, where they were often hungry and cold, suffering from dampness and cold all day long.

Many people have become ill.

Immediately, complaints arose.

After Chen Sheng and Wu Guang finished distributing the grain and comforting the grumbling soldiers, they gathered together.

"Chen Sheng, are you really planning to start a rebellion?"

During this period, Chen Sheng told Wu Guang about his decision to start an uprising and asked Wu Guang for his help.

But since it concerned his own life, he hesitated.

But now, with the rain continuing unabated, his mindset has undergone some subtle changes.

Chen Sheng exhaled and said.

"The weather is raining heavily, the road is impassable, and the journey is already overdue. You know the crime of being late; the law calls for execution!"

"The only way to survive is to start an uprising!"

"That's not right." At this moment, Wu Guang looked at Chen Sheng: "Isn't the penalty for being late only two shields?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Chen Sheng gave a bitter smile.

"That was ordinary corvée labor. We were garrison soldiers. Even if we were lucky enough to escape execution, if we missed the deadline, someone still had to take the blame."

"It's impossible that the county constable who was escorting them came to confess. You and I were the ones who temporarily ordered their escort, so we can't escape blame."

Wu Guang nodded with difficulty.

Now, the two of them have no choice but to cause trouble; this is the only way to survive.

His eyes closed slightly.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll do as you say!"

But then he asked, "If we are to undertake a great undertaking together, it is impossible to do so without a legitimate reason."

"We don't know, in whose name should we act?"

Touching his chin, Chen Sheng had already made up his mind, and a smile appeared on his face: "I've thought about it for a while now."

"Oh?" Wu Guang raised an eyebrow. "Who is it?"

Chen Sheng narrowed his eyes: "Not far from here is the land of Chen, where the famous Chu general Xiang Yan is very popular."

As he spoke, he laughed.

"We will act in the name of Xiang Yan."

"As long as we raise the banner of Xiang Yan and revive the Great Chu, people will surely come to follow us."

Upon hearing this, Wu Guang nodded.

He then said, "Alright, I'll find some reliable people to discuss important matters together."

"Wait a minute!"

But then, Chen Sheng reached out and grabbed him.

Turning around, Wu Guang saw Chen Sheng release his hand, then lower his hand and raise his head.

"Before starting an uprising, it is essential to first create momentum."

"To create hype?"

Chen Sheng nodded and said, "That's right."

Wu Guang looked up at him, touched his brow, and then asked, "How should we build momentum?"

Put your hands behind your back.

Chen Sheng closed his eyes, turned his back to Wu Guang, and smiled: "The letter in the fish's belly, the fox's cry by the campfire."
