What is the "Great Qin" doing?
Liu Bang looked up towards the sky.
If the Great Qin imposed severe punishment, Liu Bang could still say that it was because of the great achievements of the Qin Dynasty and the need to consolidate power.
But now?
What has the Great Qin done?
With chaos everywhere, why hasn't the Great Qin's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, taken action?
…
From then on, Liu Bang had no good impression of the Great Qin at all.
【This year is the first time the Great Qin has discovered an epidemic, which is a normal phenomenon.】
【The same year, the Amber Palace was completed.】
【Although Qin Shi Huang did not actually use the funds originally intended for epidemic suppression to build the Amber Palace, there were certainly opinions about this among those in power and those on the margins of society.】
【Who cares if you used them or not, Qin Shi Huang? They don't care; they only know that their own lives are not going well and that it's your fault.】
【Returning to the imperial court, life goes on as usual.】
【Qin Shi Huang practiced the Zhao Men Wushu for a year, and his whole mental state and complexion improved significantly.】
【Many officials who had already planned to leave were impressed by Qin Shi Huang's improving complexion and also joined the practice of Zhao Men Wushu.】
【Qin Shi Huang has given up on the pursuit of immortality and now hopes to live longer, at least to ensure that the transfer of power in the Great Qin is well planned.】
【He actually knows well in his heart who the ambitious people are in the imperial court.】
【He is very wary of Zhao Gao, but Zhao Gao is in a position that he cannot avoid at the imperial court.】
【He knows that among the dignitaries at the imperial court, many have already connected with the old nobility of the six states to plot rebellion, but he has not pointed this out.】
【He knows everything, but he is still alive, so there must be a solution.】
【At the same time, one piece of news after another comes back.】
【Xu Fu has disappeared.】
【When the scholars were killed, those sorcerers did not repent, revealing that they were not good people.】
【The tablets seeking immortality were broken in various places, and the mausoleum was dark and damp, causing many palace personnel to fall ill.】
【Qin Shi Huang remained obsessed; he wanted to seek immortality, but he soon realized that he had been overly frantic before.】
【He realized quickly that perhaps those sorcerers were wrong.】
【Maybe the sage is right.】
【These sorcerers have not even understood the essence of destiny, so how can they compare with the imperial teacher?】
【Actually, if it weren't for the many things to handle, Qin Shi Huang might not have admitted it so quickly.】
【However, due to the premature strength of the Qin Dynasty, almost all of the hundreds of immortality strategies ended in failure.】
【Even though Qin Shi Huang was extremely obsessed, he could still recognize his own problems.】
【What the imperial teacher says seems to be right.】
"This... means that I won't need to slay the dragon?"
Zhao Anping felt relieved, such a statement would save a great deal of trouble:
After all, the slaying of the dragon involves too many things.
He had once heard a man named Dickens say that if a hunting rifle was hung on the wall in an artistic work, then it would definitely ring out later.
He knew that the event of slaying the dragon would definitely happen, but when it would occur and what kind of impact it would have were worth considering.
"Slaying the dragon now would have too great an impact on the situation of the Qin Dynasty."
Zhao Anping looked at his phone, the game content was still continuing:
[Due to your influence, the time point of the original "Shang Chu Incident" has been postponed.]
[The original "Great Qin Incident" time point has been postponed.]
[Qin Shi Huang's lifespan has been randomly extended, with an unspecified duration.]
[The Great Qin era continues.]
[The game continues.]
[Qin Shi Huang gradually restrained his efforts to seek immortality across the realm, but he still harbored hope.]
[He no longer pursued the elusive pursuit of visiting immortals and asking for the path to longevity, instead choosing traditional methods to extend his life.]
[Ransacking the people's wealth to mass-produce elixirs.]
[The older one gets, the more afraid of death one becomes.]
[He ordered the production of the Four Seasons Tonifying Pill, with one batch being produced each season, nurturing the body using traditional medical methods.]
"Very good, from the more ethereal pursuit of immortality through learning the Dao to a more practical method of longevity."
Zhao Anping shook his head, ultimately, Qin Shi Huang, who had reached the peak of power, still yearned for immortality.
[At the same time, another important event in the Qin Dynasty is about to unfold.]
[In July of the year 209 BC, the Qin government mobilized the poor and marginalized to garrison Yuyang. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang served as the leaders.]
[Chen Sheng and Wu Guang led the nine hundred laborers under the escort of two Qin officials, heading towards Yuyang.]
[This was an extremely normal form of servitude in the Qin Dynasty.]
[They traveled day and night, hoping to arrive earlier, but were blocked by heavy rain at Dashizu Village.]
[In front of them was a mountainous wilderness, inhabited by wolves, tigers, and leopards. It was impossible to reach it in the rain.]
[According to Chapter 9 of the Qin Law, if soldiers mobilized to defend the borders do not arrive on time, they are to be executed.]
[Chen Sheng and Wu Guang knew that, according to Qin Law, they would have no chance of survival if they did not arrive on time.]
[That night, Chen Sheng found Wu Guang.]
"Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rising in rebellion?"
"The time is about up."
On the phone, the modeling appeared slowly.
……
Thatched cottage.
This is one of the few places in Dashizu Village that can provide shelter.
The reason why Dashizu Village is named as such is because there is the Yunmeng Lake here, and there are many wilderness areas around it.
These wilderness areas are rarely developed.
The two Qin officials had already gone to rest, and Chen Sheng was about to go to sleep.
He was worried:
What should they do in the future?
It's not known.
According to the Qin laws, he's already a dead man.
No matter how hard he tries, he's still doomed to die.
The only way out is to run away, but the Great Qin was strict about such matters, and he might end up being beheaded.
If he runs alone, he will drag down nine hundred of his fellow villagers to die.
He does not want to.
"Why is the Great Qin like this?"
"After the Qin Dynasty's unification for ten and a half years, when it was still unifying the nine provinces, he thought:
The wars would finally come to an end.
He would finally be able to settle down and live a peaceful life.
However...
Over these fifteen years, the First Emperor of Qin Shi Huang seemingly never regarded the people of the world as his subjects.
Bondservants, taxes, and many, many other things...
These things, have never been so deeply felt before.
In the past, why would he lose his life over these things?
But he was not despondent:
"Life and death, what is the difference? What is the sorrow of death?"
This worthless world, leaving it earlier is not a bad thing.
But in the end, he still holds resentment towards this Great Qin.
"If I sleep and wake up, maybe I'll be dreaming right now."
At that moment, someone knocked on his door.
Who?
Chen Sheng got up from his bed and asked, "Who is knocking on the door?"
"It's me."
Wu Guang made the classic knock at the door, typical of rural China, "Wu Guang."
"There is something I need to find you for."
"Quickly open the door before the Qin officials find out."
