"Hah … it still doesn't work?"
Fangzheng sighed helplessly as he walked along the forest path. He had hoped to rope Xiang Yu over to his side, but after talking to him, Fangzheng realized that this person was more of a headache than he had imagined.
Although Xiang Yu also wanted to overthrow the Qin Dynasty, his thinking was very simple. He wanted to replace the Qin Dynasty. Fangzheng had tried to discuss some deeper issues with him, but Xiang Yu had expressed no interest in it at all …
Sigh, how should I put it? People with different goals cannot make plans together.
In Fangzheng's view, Xiang Yu was like a mountain king who only wanted to be the boss. He had no interest in more practical matters. He only said, "This kind of thing should be done by people who know how to do it."
It seemed that the coercion of history was really troublesome.
He had thought that if he could rope Xiang Yu over to his side, he could easily start a war with Xiang Yu. But now, it seemed that the two sides did not share the same views. Do you even know how to educate your child? A child who was educated by modern people with the mindset of ancient people was a complete failure.
Forget it, it was better to rely on oneself than to rely on others.
Fortunately, Fangzheng was prepared for this.
"Is this the result of your investigation?"
After reading the report in his hand, Fangzheng raised his head and looked at the people in front of him. Standing in front of him were two boys and two girls, all of them about eighteen or nineteen years old. They were the descendants of the refugees who had moved into Xiao Yao Palace from the outside world. Here, they had received the orthodox formal education. Therefore, when it came to looking at problems, these boys were much better than Xiang Yu and the others.
"Yes, Lord."
The leader of the group nodded.
"That Qin Shi Huang built the roads and the Great Wall, which took a hundred years. But to build the Epang Palace and repair the Imperial Mausoleum, it took a lot of manpower and resources. The common people were filled with complaints. Moreover, the laws of Qin are too strict, and most of the common people are already complaining about it."
"Yes, Lord Fang."
At this moment, another girl hurriedly said.
"Look at the actions of the Qin soldiers. They are as cruel as tigers and wolves. When can we rise up?"
"Didn't many of our students become officials in Qin? Don't tell me they have no way to change this situation? "
"Disciple has inquired about it."
At this time, the third girl who looked very quiet reported in a low voice.
"They did try very hard to change the situation. Many of them submitted petitions several times in an attempt to reduce the burden on the people. However, the court was controlled by Li Si, and their petitions were almost useless. Some of those who spoke out were demoted or punished, causing everyone in the court to feel insecure."
It seemed that history was not so easy to change.
Fangzheng furrowed his brows. Ever since the Qin State destroyed the six states, Xiao Yao Palace had been sending a large number of talents to the Qin State. On one hand, these talents were sent to maintain the establishment and existence of the Qin Dynasty. On the other hand, Fangzheng hoped to use these talents to influence Ying Zheng and see if he could change the fate of the Qin Dynasty.
After all, the students of Xiao Yao Palace had contributed a lot when Qin destroyed the six states. Many of them held high positions and had a certain amount of influence. However, it seemed that the tide of history was not so easy to change. Although these people had their own prestige and influence in the Qin Dynasty, at present, they could not compare to Li Si.
At this time, the last man who had not spoken took a step forward.
"I think that for the sake of the common people, Milord should head directly to Xianyang and kill that cruel and tyrannical King Ying Zheng to bring justice to the people of the world!"
Hearing this, Fangzheng chuckled and changed his posture as he leaned against the back of the chair.
"You make it sound easy. Killing Ying Zheng is naturally easy, but what should we do then?"
"Naturally, Milord, you will follow the will of the heavens and obtain the throne. Then, with the support of our ministers in the court, you will definitely be able to change the dynasty without bloodshed and complete the great cause!"
"Hmm, you are right. It is indeed very simple."
Fangzheng nodded his head, then picked up the teacup beside him and drank a cup of tea.
"However, if I wanted to do this, I would have done it long ago. However, I did not. Do you know why?"
Facing Fangzheng's question, the four of them looked at each other. Then, the first man said in a low voice.
"Milord Yin once said that a revolution is not a treat."
"That's right, a revolution requires bloodshed and sacrifice."
Fangzheng nodded.
"Why do we need bloodshed and sacrifice? It's because we are fighting for our ideals. It's simple, but it's not simple at the same time. The question we need to solve is, what are we fighting for? Who are our enemies? How are our enemies formed? How are we going to understand our enemies? How are we going to fight against our enemies? "
At this point, Fangzheng spread his hands. This was the question he had discussed with Xiangyu before. Unfortunately, Xiangyu was not interested in these things at all. But for Fangzheng, if you want to rise up, you must have a set of acknowledged theoretical foundations. The Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted, and the Kings, Marquises, Generals, and Generals shouted their slogans loud and clear, but the problem was that they did not form a complete set of theories around these slogans. As a result, this clearly promising slogan turned into a bandit mentality of "If you can be the king of the mountain, so can I" …
"What we need to do is not to change the ruler. What we need to do is to let the people of the world understand this truth, understand what they are fighting for, and then let them take the initiative to rise up and fight against the feudal oppressors. Indeed, killing Ying Zheng is as easy as lifting a finger for me. To be specific, it won't even take five seconds. But so what if we change the ruler? There doesn't seem to be much difference to the people. If they don't understand what they are fighting for, what's the point? "
At this point, Fangzheng narrowed his eyes.
"It's easy to kill a person, but it's even harder to overthrow a system."
At this time, the three women spoke again.
"I heard that Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, has recently been obsessed with seeking immortality and the elixir of immortality. My Lord, you are the reincarnation of a Celestial. Why don't you directly enter the palace and communicate with Ying Zheng? You can use the name of a Celestial to ask him to treat the people well. That way, Ying Zheng will be afraid of your Celestial power and will definitely restrain himself. "
"Power can only suppress people for a while, not forever."
Fangzheng shook his head and also rejected his student's opinion.
"You have to remember, no matter how brutal and brutal Ying Zheng is, he is still the First Emperor of Qin, the man who unified the six dynasties and built a hegemony that lasted for thousands of years. A man like him is not someone who can be easily threatened. If he could be threatened, he would not be the First Emperor of Qin."
As he spoke, Fangzheng looked at the information in front of him again.
"Continue to act according to the plan. In short, now is not the time."
When the Qin Shi Huang died suddenly, the second Qin Emperor succeeded the throne, and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted, that would be the time for them to strike.
But Fangzheng did not know that the Qin Shi Huang in the palace at the moment had a different look on his face.
"Are you sure?"
Ying Zheng rose to his feet and stared at the general below. The general's face was pale as well.
"Yes, I have personally brought people to examine the corpses!"
It all started from the time when Fangzheng helped Xiangyu and the others escape. At that time, Fangzheng sent those soldiers to heaven with a song called Spring River Flower Moonlit Night. After that, he naturally threw the corpses to the back of his mind. But the king of Qin could not possibly throw it to the back of his mind as well. Seeing that the troops who went to hunt down the fugitives had not returned after a long time, he naturally sent people to search for them. But when he arrived, he was shocked to find that all of them were dead.
And after a preliminary examination of the corpses, almost everyone knew what was going on.
After all, the unique characteristic of Fangzheng's Zither Killing Move was very easy to identify. Firstly, there would be no survivors. Secondly, all the victims would die from bleeding from their seven orifices. Furthermore, there would only be dead people, not horses. Therefore, a simple examination would immediately make sense of it.
For others, it was not clear what this meant, but when Ying Zheng heard the news, he felt his hair standing on end.
He had heard stories about this Sword Immortal from Xiang Shaolong several times since he was young. Coupled with the shocking sword attack from Jixia Academy, Ying Zheng's heart was set. Therefore, after unifying the six states, Ying Zheng had put in a lot of effort to search for Fangzheng's whereabouts. Unfortunately, he had returned empty-handed every time. But this time, the other party had appeared again, and this time, he was coming for him …
What was going on? Didn't Grand Tutor Xiang say that the Sword Immortal did not like to get involved in these affairs and only attacked the mounted bandits? Why would he attack the Qin soldiers who were hunting down the rebels?
Could it be …
Ying Zheng was shocked at the thought.
"Who are those rebels?"
"This … I have already investigated. They were originally part of the rebel faction, and there is nothing suspicious about them. But …"
At this point, the general hesitated slightly.
"But what?"
Ying Zheng stared at him angrily and asked in a low voice. The general hurriedly answered.
"But when I was investigating, I heard from the commoners that when the execution was about to be carried out, a man suddenly descended from the sky and interrupted the execution. The supervisor at that time thought that he was an accomplice of the bandits who came to rob the execution ground, or some kind of demon, so he was executed together … "
"Descended from the sky?"
Upon hearing that, Ying Zheng's body trembled, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.
Could it be that the man who descended from the sky was the Sword Immortal's disciple?
If that was the case, it made sense for the Sword Immortal to attack him!
Sigh, how could this be!
When he thought that he might have accidentally offended the Sword Immortal, Ying Zheng felt irritated. He snorted coldly and stomped his foot.
"Execute the supervisor's entire family! Execute his entire family! "
"Ah?"
The general was shocked when he heard Ying Zheng's order.
"Your Majesty, this …"
"Shut up, what are you waiting for?"
"Yes …"
Looking at Ying Zheng's furious expression, the general did not dare to say anything else. He quickly obeyed the order and left. Ying Zheng let out a long sigh and sat back in his chair.
If things were really as he thought, then … what should he do?!
