Chapter 762: Wang Yue's Big Han
The last two are okay, but only on the first one, Zhao Gao and Li Si cannot comply.
You know, Zhao Gao and Li Si have already offended Mr. Fusu to death. As long as Mr. Fusu ascends the throne, they will die.
Even if Fusu didn't want to kill the two people, those who supported Fusu didn't want to. After all, they all had blood feuds. How could they let them go after they stood up.
Zhao Gao understood this, and Li Si understood it even more. So when Zhao Gao called Li Si and wanted to tamper with the edict while Yi Xiaochuan was missing, and ordered Prince Su to commit suicide so that Prince Hu Hai could inherit the throne, Li Si After hesitating, he immediately agreed.
In Li Si's view, Zhao Gao was just a eunuch and a man without an heir. In the end, it was the Li family that benefited, so why wouldn't he do it.
...
Because the biggest opponent of Zhao Gao and Li Si, Yi Xiaochuan, was still missing, no one could oppose this changed imperial edict, and Hu Hai became the emperor.
However, Fusu, who was deeply influenced by Confucian culture and was taught to be stupid, was deceived by some Confucian scholars. He took Confucius's saying that the king should treat his ministers with courtesy and loyalty in all matters as if the king wanted his ministers to die and the ministers had to die, and the father wanted them to die. When the son dies, the son has to die.
So, when he received the imperial edict that he should commit suicide, Mr. Fusu obeyed and committed suicide without even thinking about it.
After Fusu's death, although some others were dissatisfied, they also lost their support and could only accept their fate.
When all enemies are gone, the enemies are your former allies.
As a result, the contradiction between Zhao Gao and Li Si, a pair of traitors who dominated both the government and the public, gradually became apparent.
On this day, in order to test who was always following him, Zhao Gao said that he would give Master Wen a horse when he went to court. However, when the emperor and other ministers wanted to see it, they found that Zhao Gao had brought it up. But it was an elk.
But Zhao Gao pointed at the elk without a blushing face and said, "This horse is so heroic. It must be a peerless horse. My colleagues around me, do you think this is correct?"
Everyone present was afraid of Zhao Gao's power, and everyone remained silent. When Zhao Gao asked the question for the second time, Zhao Gao's diehard fans spoke up one after another, "What Master Zhao said is, this is a horse." It's jumping up and down, so cute."
Even Emperor Hu Hai was afraid of Zhao Gao when he saw so many people saying it was a horse, so he could only say helplessly, "Since most people say it's a horse, it's a horse. Let's do it."
Zhao Gao secretly remembered those who had not spoken out, and when he returned, he would remove those who should be exempted from office one by one, and remove those who should be eliminated. Even Li Si did not dare to openly oppose Zhao Gao. For a time, Zhao Gaoquan was in power and controlled Xianyang.
Zhao Gao, who was very proud of himself, observed that Yu Shu was still safe and sound even after taking the medicine for so long, and her appearance became more beautiful. He thought that the medicine might be the elixir of life, so in order to cover up others' eyes, he quickly sent Yu Shu to her. He was buried with Qin Shihuang in his mausoleum, but he took one and gave it to his adopted sister Xiaoyue.
Xiaoyue was very grateful to see Zhao Gao being so kind to him, but just before she took it, she unexpectedly got the news that although Yi Xiaochuan was seriously injured, he did not die. He had been soaked in the medicinal bath and was just like a vegetative state. .
Xiaoyue still liked Yi Xiaochuan at this time. When she heard the news, she rushed to see Yi Xiaochuan. When she found out that Yi Xiaochuan's life was hanging by a thread, she thought that even if the medicine Zhao Gao gave her was not a medicine for longevity, it was a life-saving medicine. She gave Yi Xiaochuan the medicine Zhao Gao gave her.
As expected, the elixir of immortality had the effect of bringing the dead back to life as Qin Shihuang thought. Yi Xiaochuan, who had been in a coma for a long time, recovered soon after taking the medicine. However, Qin Shihuang was not lucky enough to enjoy it.
At the same time, Zhao Gao got the news that he had returned to the old place of the Six Kingdoms to get the remnants of Juxian Hall. He still often went against the people of Zhao Gao's Zhongyi Hall, so he issued an order to arrest the remnants of Juxian Hall in various places.
Xiang Yu, who had heard that Master Fusu was dead, was already angry enough. In addition, Zhao Gao was calling a deer a horse and wanted to clear out the Juxian Hall. Their uncle and nephew were so angry that they led the eight thousand children of the Chu Kingdom to rebel. They were originally Since they were all important ministers of the Chu State, after they rebelled, the troops from Juxian Hall in various places responded to their call, and a large number of troops and horses soon gathered.
For a time, wars broke out all over the Qin State and they were plunged into turmoil.
...
When Yi Xiaochuan woke up and received the news, he and Xiao Yue prepared to go find Xiang Yu without hesitation. However, they were blocked by Li Si's son Li You on the way.
Yi Xiaochuan persuaded Li You to lead the Meng family's 200,000 troops to kill Zhao Gao, kill Hu Hai, and make other princes emperors. Only in this way could Qin be saved.
But in Li You's view, no matter who ascends to the throne by any means, it is a loss for the royal family. He is already the emperor, and he must be loyal. This is the will of the Meng family army.
Neither of them could blame each other. Li You also cared about the brotherhood between the two of them for many years in the Meng Family Army, and couldn't bear to kill him, so he let Yi Xiaochuan go. He would only see him on the battlefield in the future. Miss Xiaoyue was determined to follow. Although Li You didn't want to give up, she still let go and watched the two of them leave.
...
After Yi Xiaochuan and Xiang Yu reunited, he left Xiaoyue behind and went to contact the old Juxiantang troops to work hard to overthrow Da Qin. He even rushed to the vicinity of Peixian County, found Liu Bang who was a bandit in the mountains, and persuaded him to come down the mountain to rebel. He even handed over the brothers of Juxian Hall in Peixian County to Liu Bang.
But Yi Xiaochuan had just left, and when he heard that the Qin army was coming soon, Liu Bang quickly ran away and rushed to Kuaiji to join Yi Xiaochuan. He felt that Yi Xiaochuan was an easy fool and wanted to get more wool from Yi Xiaochuan.
The men Wang Yue arranged for Liu Bang left without even thinking about following Liu Bang, but secretly sent the remaining men to Yandi to join Hou Xiang.
...
Xiang Yu didn't know the situation in Peixian County. After Yi Xiaochuan left, he took out a box full of love letters to express his admiration for Xiaoyue, and successfully moved Xiaoyue. After all, in this era, there is no such thing as that A woman could withstand such a passionate emotional attack, and the two of them fell in love from then on.
Originally, the laws of the Qin Dynasty could not be tolerated by the people of the newly restored Six Kingdoms. After Hu Hai came to the throne, he imposed tyranny and extortionate taxes without considering the people's livelihood. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had already revolted in Dazhao Township. What's even weirder is that in the past two years, disasters have been coming one after another, and people in various parts of the Qin Dynasty have been in dire straits. As a result, rebel armies have emerged one after another in various places, growing bigger and bigger like a snowball.
What's even more speechless is that Zhao Gao didn't care that Qin was on the verge of danger. Because he found out that Li Si and Hu Hai were conspiring to get rid of him, he took the first step to kill Li Si and Hu Hai, and made Ziying the king of Qin.
Li You, who was annihilating the rebels on the front line, heard that his entire family had been killed by Hu Hai, and had no intention of directing the war. The Qin army under his command was leaderless and was easily annihilated by Xiang Yu.
When he caught Li You, Yi Xiaochuan wanted to let Li You escape, but Li You was determined to die and wanted to die with the Great Qin in his dream. He was unwilling to surrender and live in this world.
...
Zhao Gao saw that the uprising army was so powerful that he realized that he was afraid. He thought of Wang Yue's army in the north, so he asked Ziying to issue an order to order Wang Yue to go south to attack the army of the overlord of Western Chu.
Wang Yue saw the imperial edict and refused on the grounds that he was at war with North Korea. Now that Qin still had the strength to fight, it was not his chance to take action yet, so he was prepared to wait.
Zhao Gao was so angry that he had no choice but to take out Wang Yue. He saw that Wang Yue meant that the two sides were not helping each other, so he sent Wang Yue's eldest brother Wang Li to lead the last Qin army out of Hangu Pass. Go to meet Xiang Yu.
When Wang Yue's secret guards heard the news, they felt happy. This was a chance for him. Without hesitation, he asked the secret guards to pass the news to Wang Li and prepare to cooperate internally and externally.
Before Wang Li could organize his army and set out, he received Wang Yue's notice. He did not hesitate. After leading his army out of Hangu Pass, he did not stop Xi Chu Xiang Yu's army at all, but led his army north to fight with Wang Yue's army. Attacked from both sides, they quickly occupied the land on the north bank of the Yellow River and faced the Western Chu army from a distance. Only Zhang Han was left to lead the remaining 100,000 troops and horses to confront Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, could not figure out what the Wang brothers were doing, but when he saw that Wang Yue had no intention of guarding Xianyang, he led his troops to prepare to attack Zhang Han. He was eager to enter Xianyang. After all, he had an agreement with Liu Bang, and he would enter first. Xianyang is the king, and he cannot lose to Liu Bang.
Brothers Wang Yue and Wang Li saw that the battle between Xiang Yu and Zhang Han was in full swing, so they consolidated the defense line along the Yellow River, and then began to clear out other forces within the territory. Because Wang Yue had many troops and horses, totaling more than 400,000, the number of troops within the territory was more than 400,000. The forces couldn't even think of resisting, and were quickly wiped out by Wang Yue.
After Liu Bang destroyed the Qin army in Lantian, he colluded with Zhao Gao and entered Xianyang first. Zhao Gao continued to follow Liu Bang and served as Liu Bang's chamberlain.
In this regard, Wang Yue had to admire the two of them. The great hatred between the two was just put aside, which made Wang Yue speechless. He was also prepared to wait for the two to fight, so he took the opportunity to act.
However, it doesn't matter even if he doesn't fight, Liu Bang's good life will end here. After Liu Bang listened to Hou Rui, who was arranged by Wang Yue to be beside him, and cleaned out the Qin royal family, Hou Rui, who was already deeply trusted by Liu Bang, but Hou Rui, At this time, he turned against Liu Bang and killed Liu Bang.
Wang Yue had already led his troops across the Yellow River before Hou Rui took action. He took the Meng's army's trusted token and ordered the Meng's army along the Great Wall to stay where they were. He led his troops into Xianyang and took advantage of the situation. Sent a large army to control Hangu Pass.
Liu Bang's army in Xianyang was originally in disarray because of Liu Bang's death, but because Hou Rui was a figure second only to Liu Bang, they didn't know what to do. After all, this was a matter of the second brother killing the eldest brother, and they were not like this. It doesn't matter.
Therefore, after seeing Hou Rui defecting to Wang Yue directly, none of the people Liu Bang belonged to had any intention of resisting.
Zhao Gao, who originally sought refuge with Liu Bang, was stunned for a long time after receiving the news. He personally handed the jade seal to Wang Yue in exchange for his freedom.
Wang Yue did not stop him. He was busy now and had no hatred against Zhao Gao. He did not want to embarrass Zhao Gao. Now he had controlled the old land of Qin and the vast land on the north bank of the Yellow River. He would not stop doing anything. He took the lead in proclaiming himself emperor, naming the country Han, and establishing Xianyang as the capital.
Zhang Han, who was fighting Xiang Yu to the death, heard the news and immediately led his army to retreat. After consolidating the defense line, it was as if Wang Yue had pledged his allegiance. In his eyes, Wang Yue was Wang Jian's grandson. Even if he conquered the world, he was still a Qin man and a Qin man. People are their own people.
Xiang Yu was stunned after hearing the news. Qin had been destroyed. If he continued to fight, he would be fighting against the Han Dynasty.
After Yi Xiaochuan heard the news, he simply handed over all the troops to Xiang Yu's leadership. He met Wang Yue alone, and after getting permission, he went to Lishan. He wanted to open the passage to Lishan and see him. Yu Shu, as for the affairs of the world, they have nothing to do with him.
The current situation is exactly the opposite of that of the rebel army at the beginning. The original goal of the rebel army was to overthrow the Qin Dynasty, but the Qin Kingdom is gone. According to the Han law promulgated by Wang Yue, corvee service is very light. Those peasant soldiers who participated in the uprising , none of them wanted to fight anymore.
The people of the rebel army were unstable and had no strength to fight against Wang Yue's Han Dynasty. For a time, the boundaries between Chu, He and Han were very clearly divided, and King Huai of Chu also divided the occupied land to those who rebelled. Princes, let them all go to their destiny.
Wang Yue pretended not to see the split of the rebel army, and he did not take the opportunity to attack. He used his rich experience in government affairs to deal with matters in his own territory, and had no intention of actively fighting the Chu army.
After two or three years of this, the natural disasters in various parts of the country seemed to have stopped immediately after the Qin Kingdom was destroyed, making Wang Yue think that it was the Qin that was punished by heaven.
Under Wang Yue's governance, the territory of the Han Dynasty was happy, the national power was flourishing, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. However, the feudal princes in Chu State were constantly arguing, which made the people miserable. Many people in the land moved to the territory of the Han Dynasty, or fled south to the territory of Baiyue. There were even many people who were new to Wang Yue's territory. They petitioned to let Wang Yue send his army south to destroy the Chu State so that they could return to their hometown to live.
Wang Yue felt that the people's support could be used, so he organized his army and prepared for war, preparing to dominate the world.
Unexpectedly, before Wang Yue took action, Xiang Yu took the initiative to surrender to Wang Yue. The reason turned out to be Xiang Yu's wife Xiaoyue, also known as Yu Ji. When he learned that Zhao Gao was still alive, he reported the matter to Xiang Yu. Speaking of.
Xiang Yu's territory was originally close to Wang Yue's territory. He knew the lives of the people in Wang Yue's territory very well. He felt that it was okay to let him fight, but there was really no way to govern the people. It would be okay if his uncle was still alive. Zhao Gao was still alive, and Yi Xiaochuan was doing well in Lishan. Xiang Yu also thought it would be good to hang out with Wang Yue, so he surrendered.
Wang Yue was very generous to him. After Xiang Yu surrendered to him, he did not make things difficult for him, or asked him to help attack Chu. Instead, he sent him along the Great Wall and gave him the command of the original Meng family army. Help defend against the Huns.
Xiang Yu originally thought that his fate would be that the worst would be to be imprisoned and the best would be to be an idle official. No matter what, it would be fine as long as Xiaoyue was with him. Unexpectedly, Wang Yue was so generous and convinced.
Xiang Yu was fighting with the Xiongnu, and he kept slandering Yi Xiaochuan. He felt that Yi Xiaochuan's judgment of people was really bad. The good brother Liu Bang that Yi Xiaochuan said was simply a despicable and shameless villain. But the Wang Yue who was careless and mercenary in Yi Xiaochuan's mouth turned out to be a majestic king.
Wang Yue effortlessly unified Western Chu, which sent shivers down the spines of the remaining vassal states. When they saw that Wang Yue had given Xiang Yu so much military power, they all petitioned to surrender.
Of course Wang Yue did not embarrass them. He sent troops to occupy their territory. After reorganizing the troops in their hands, he reassigned several armies to them and asked him to continue his conquest southward among several princes.
After hearing Wang Yue's order, Zhao Tuo's descendants who were far away in South Vietnam learned the news and quickly surrendered to Wang Yue, and honestly came to Xianyang to become a rich man.
The Minyue Kingdom also surrendered decisively under the threat of the army. Only the Yelang Kingdom resisted for a while, but under the protection of the medicine that Wang Yue had prepared long ago to prevent miasma, it was not able to block the Han's troops at all.
But in the land of Yunnan and Burma in the south of the Minyue Kingdom, they were very wise. Seeing that the natural environment could not withstand the Han soldiers and horses, they surrendered decisively without any effort by the Han soldiers.
Wang Yue named his eldest brother Wang Li the King of Yunnan and sent him to guard Yunnan and Burma. He was told that any land he attacked further south would be under his eldest brother's own management, but he was not allowed to go north.
Wang Jian had already passed away by this time. Wang Ben, who was seriously ill, was very satisfied when he saw Wang Yue treating his elder brother like this. He relaxed and lost his carelessly.
After all the hard work, Yi Xiaochuan finally got through the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum at the foot of Lishan Mountain. He happily ran in and met Yu Shu, without even noticing that Gao Yao had been eyeing him for a long time. .
After Gao Yao persuaded Xiang Yu to surrender through his adopted sister, and saw that Xiang Yu's fate was so good and his sister was happy, he put aside his last regret and focused on Yi Xiaochuan.
He doesn't have as much anger as before now. After all, most of his enemies are dead. The body of Liu Bang, whom he hated so much, was given to him by Hou Rui and left to be cut into pieces, which made him angry. Most of it.
Therefore, Zhao Gao's only regret is that Yi Xiaochuan, who has been fighting with him for so long, can live happily. He has long forgotten his biological sister and is still waiting for him in the future.
So the angry Zhao Gao took advantage of Yi Xiaochuan and after opening up the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, happily put down the tools in his hands, ran into the mausoleum to find Yu Shu, activated the mechanism of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, and sealed Yi Xiaochuan and Yushu. Died in the underground palace.
The reason why Zhao Gao did this was not to help Yi Xiaochuan, but because he didn't believe that the relationship between Yi Xiaochuan and Yu Shu could really last. He always felt that Yi Xiaochuan was just a playboy, and only those who couldn't get it were in Yi Xiaochuan's heart. it's the best.
