Chapter 109 The rise of anti-Qin forces!
Although the elixir refined by Yunzhongjun Xu Fu can temporarily stimulate the potential of the human body, it will only make the body weaker after the medicinal effect wears off, and the toxins in the elixir are quietly eroding health.
Over time, people will become terminally ill and slowly move towards death.
This!
It was Zhao Gao and Donghuang Taiyi’s evil plot!
Once Ying Zheng passed away, Zhao Gao would take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents, support Prince Hu Hai to ascend the throne, and become a powerful official in control of the government!
Donghuang Taiyi can unscrupulously use the power of the Qin Empire to find the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon in order to gain more powerful strength.
They are gambling!
The bet is whether this conspiracy can be completed before Ying Ziye comes out of seclusion.
Until then.
With strength and power, there is no need to be afraid of Ying Ziye anymore!
In the court, Wang Jian, Li Si, Han Fei, Wang Wan, Feng Quji and other important officials witnessed Ying Zheng's increasing reliance on elixirs, and a hint of gloom unconsciously flashed across their faces.
They had a bad feeling and felt that there was something wrong with the pills.
However, they could not find the right words to dissuade Ying Zheng.
after all.
These pills were tried by many people and none of them had any problems, otherwise Ying Zheng would not have taken them so casually.
"I have decided to choose an auspicious day to tour the east, to demonstrate the majesty of our Great Qin Empire and to deter the remnants of the six kingdoms!"
"I want to see if they can still remain calm!"
Ying Zheng, who had recovered his strength, announced to his ministers in a powerful voice, with boundless arrogance emanating from him.
However.
Beneath this domineering aura, there is an imperceptible weakness hidden!
It was so subtle that even Ying Zheng himself didn't notice it.
His physical condition began to deteriorate, and erysipelas was quietly eroding his body.
Three days later.
Ying Zheng led the civil and military officials on a grand journey, preparing to tour the east to demonstrate the power of the Qin Dynasty!
The moment Ying Zheng stepped out of Xianyang City, many dark forces got wind of it.
Inside the Mohist government office.
Yan Dan, Gao Jianli, Da Tiechui, Dao Zhi Duanmu and other senior officials gathered together.
"Everyone, Ying Zheng has left Xianyang on his eastern tour. Now is the perfect time to assassinate him!"
"Once Ying Zheng dies, the Qin State will fall into turmoil!"
"Then we can seize the opportunity and save the people of the world from the water and fire!"
Yan Dan held the intelligence in his hand and announced it to everyone excitedly.
After so many years, his hypocrisy remains the same, his words are grand and his righteousness is awe-inspiring!
"but."
"Around Ying Zheng, there were many strong men, such as the experienced general Wang Jian, the unparalleled swordsman Gai Nie, the aggressive Meng Tian and Li Xin, etc."
"Gao Jianli said in a calm tone, with a gleam of reason in his eyes."
"Although I am eager to get rid of Ying Zheng, the strength of our Mohist School is obviously not enough to achieve this goal."
"Don't worry, we are not the only ones who want to resist Qin!"
There is deep thought in his words.
"The three great Confucianists, Zhang Liang, the Taoist clan, and the Xiang clan, they were also part of the resistance."
When mentioning Zhang Liang in particular, Yan Dan's voice was full of confidence.
He never imagined that he could assassinate Ying Zheng with the power of Mohism alone.
"The great master is wise!"
"As long as we unite all the anti-Qin forces, we will be able to overthrow the tyrannical Qin rule and bring peace to the people of the world."
Yan Dan looked at Duanmu Rong with a confident smile on his face.
Dao Zhi smiled obsequiously and flattered Yan Dan, trying to win Duanmu Rong's favor with his passionate words.
however.
This action did not enhance his noble image, but made him look particularly humble. Duanmu Rong turned her head away, unwilling to look at him again.
On the contrary, Yan Dan was delighted by the flattery and his face was filled with satisfaction.
The Mohists seem to be high-sounding on the surface, but in fact they are selfish. Their words and actions are only for satisfying their personal desires!
Was their original intention of opposing Qin really for the benefit of the people?
Give me a break!
People today live in peace. Thanks to the curved plow and simple cart promoted by Ying Ziye, farmland can be cultivated efficiently, and high-yield crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn have enriched people's tables.
The imperial examination system opened up a path for scholars to advance in their careers, making it possible for them to reach the pinnacle of their official careers.
Today in the Great Qin Empire, people live much better than during the turbulent years of the Warring States Period!
Their resistance is only out of consideration for their own interests!
common people?
Just a pawn they use!
If they really cared about the welfare of the people, they would not hope that the world would be plunged into war again!
Once the war breaks out!
Only innocent people will suffer!
Sanghai City is a holy place for Confucian scholars.
Zhang Liang was immersed in a book in his study when his attention was attracted by an exquisite mechanical bird in the distant sky.
He raised his hand gently, and the mechanical bird landed in his palm as if possessed by spirit.
He saw a thin bamboo slip tied to the bird's claws, and he knew that it was news from the Mohist school.
A hint of joy flashed across Zhang Liang's face. He understood that the Mohists, like him, were working hard to overthrow the tyrannical Qin Dynasty. They were like-minded partners.
Over the years, he used the influence of Confucianism to spread anti-Qin rhetoric.
When the bamboo slips were opened, there was a small piece of paper inside, written in the characters of the old Yan State, not the new simplified characters advocated by Ying Ziye.
Zhang Liang, who was well-versed in history and current affairs, immediately saw through the secret of the mysterious words. It was inscribed with: "The First Emperor's Eastern Tour to Discuss the Assassination of Qin!"
These eight words are like thunder, striking people's hearts.
After taking a glance, Zhang Liang threw the note into the candlelight without hesitation. In the blazing flame, his heart was ignited with passionate sparks - assassinate Qin!
This has always been his dream mission!
However, Ying Zheng was living in the impregnable Xianyang, making it difficult for him to start.
Now, the time has come!
Zhang Liang quickly packed his luggage and prepared to go and discuss this "earth-shocking plan" with the Mohists.
same moment.
Xiaoyaozi of the Taoist sect, the brothers Chen Sheng and Wu Guang of the farming family, Xiang Yu, Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo of the Xiang family, as well as various heroes, all received secret letters from the Mohist school.
For a while.
As the situation became more and more complicated, leaders of various forces came one after another and gathered in the Mohist Mechanical City.
A few days later.
Xiaoyaozi from the Renzong, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang from the Nong family, Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu, Xiang Bo, Zhang Liang, and all the people from the Mohist school, all gathered under the Mohist mechanical city!
"Dan would like to thank you all for coming from afar to gather with us to discuss major plans!"
"Everyone present here has a deep hatred for the Qin State."
"Let us unite to overthrow the rule of the tyrannical Qin!"
Yan Dan was in high spirits as he looked at the gathering of heroes, including soldiers, generals and counselors. His determination to assassinate Qin was as firm as a rock!
"Stop talking nonsense, I just want to know how to kill Ying Zheng!"
Chen Sheng, carrying a heavy sword on his back, was of impatient temperament. He slammed his fist on the table with anger on his face.
That tragic battle.
One hundred thousand peasant family disciples were destroyed by the Qin army, but he and his two brothers managed to escape the disaster.
However, none of the hall masters, elders, and even the leader Tian Guang survived.
How could they forget such deep hatred?
Faced with Chen Sheng's impulsiveness, Yan Dan was not angry, but his eyes flashed with joy.
Chen Sheng’s anger was the key to the successful assassination of Qin!
