[Wei Nie] Vertical and horizontal killing

The emperor's carriage arrived at Kuaiji Mountain in early April.

Legend has it that there are relics of Dayu's flood control here. Dayu also died here and was buried here during his east tour in the tenth year.

Later, Emperor Xia Shaokang asked his youngest son to migrate and settle in Kuaiji Mountain to be the guardian of Dayu's mausoleum.The blood of Emperor Xia continued, the city grew stronger and the country was named Yue, and was finally destroyed by King Chuwei.

……

After offering sacrifices to Yu Ling, the emperor returned to the Jiangdong seashore.

Going north to Langya all the way from the great river to the sea, they changed into a huge ship. Although it is not as huge as a mirage, it is still an expensive vessel that can be carried for several months. It can swallow hundreds of people, not to mention the accompanying fleet, warships and merchant ships. .

On the big ship, the emperor seldom showed up.The entire emperor's boat sailed along the wind and moved extremely fast. In many cases, even the palaces along the way were abandoned, and the boat sailed day and night.

Li Si is not young, and he is considered pampered on weekdays, but now he has never been to the capitals of Luoyang, Xinzheng, and Daliang with the emperor's east tour, but it is very hard to walk all the way in the backcountry.Now that he was sailing all the way again, he was already unwell, so he could only try his best to pay his respects to the emperor and discuss politics every day.

Outside the emperor's cabin, Zhao Gao is always on call, and the eighteenth heir Hu Hai is also there, and they have been waiting for an hour.Zhao Gao is persuading the eighteenth son to go back and study his homework.

Li Si came forward and nodded to the three of them. At this moment, there was a loud shout in the carriage, which made everyone's hearts jump, and quickly called out in a low voice: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

The prince was also worried: "Father! The child is here."

After a while, the people inside whispered: "I'm fine, it's just a nightmare."

Everyone looked at each other, and heard the emperor say: "Zhao Gao, where is the decoction?"

Zhao Gao said: "Your Majesty, it has already been prepared. You can take it when you wake up."

"Bring it here." The emperor's voice softened a little, and he said again: "Is Zhang Han here?"

Zhang Han listened without squinting: "Your Majesty, the minister is here."

"Come in and talk."

Zhang Han walked past Li Si without looking sideways. Li Si looked as usual, nodded to the rest of the people, turned and left slowly.

Zhao Gao rolled his crimson eyes, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Hu Hai also resigned, and Zhao Gao sent him a few steps, and said innocently: "It's really strange, why didn't the father ask the prime minister this time?"

The deck was bumped, and Li Si, who was walking in front, made a wrong step, and then walked again, as if he didn't stagger.

Zhao Gao copied his hands, slowed down his pace, and said slowly: "Since your majesty has given the prime minister's daughter to your highness as a wife, the prime minister and your highness will be a family after that, your highness can ask the prime minister for more homework."

Hu Hai looked obedient: "Hai should obey what the teacher said." But there was a touch of boredom in his eyes, and he whispered: "It's not the only daughter, so many daughters are married to elder brothers and court ministers, I think He chose a dispensable daughter to marry."

The corner of Zhao Gao's mouth curled up, pretending to be helpless: "My lord, be careful with your words."

The sea breeze blows a salty smell, which is quite different from the scenery of the Central Plains.

Hu Hai walked briskly, and the exquisite jade on his body tinkled.I don't know what came to mind, and said in a low voice: "Teacher, taking that decoction, father, can you really live forever?"

Zhao Gao pursed his lips, but he did not leak anything: "As long as it is His Majesty's will, it is our will as a courtier. My son, do you understand?"

Hu Hai rolled his eyes and said, "Hai understands, then Yu Hai will present the decoction to the emperor." He was born with different-colored pupils, and there were rumors in the palace that his biological mother was a tribute Hu Ji from the Western Regions.The eldest son with impure blood is just a dispensable existence in Xianyang Palace. There are many older brothers. Only he walks in the inner court with this pure and innocent face, so that the emperor can notice him among dozens of sons. Let Zhao Gao be his teacher, his ambition has already begun to emerge.

Zhao Gao smiled slightly, and crawled over the tiny red spider with his fingertips.

What he needs is exactly this kind of ambition.

People like ants want to live, people who are well-clothed and well-fed want to bless wealth, people who are high and powerful want to go one step further, people who are rich in the world want to live forever and be emperors forever - no matter how insignificant an ambition is, one day, it can be for him. Used.

……

Turning his head on the deck, Li Si slowly stopped and closed his eyes tiredly.

After several days of traveling, the emperor did not summon the accompanying imperial physician, where did the decoction come from?The glazed windows were not enough to completely block the sunlight, and just now it was obvious that he was also outside the cabin, but the emperor asked Zhao Gao and called Zhang Han to go in, but he did not mention himself.

When did he offend the emperor, why didn't he know?

Li Si felt worried, as if he had been bitten by a mouse, his internal organs ached from the bite.

Thinking about it carefully, after Wangsi, the emperor's attitude towards him has become very subtle.

For a long time, the emperor trusted Li Si to the point of inquiring about everything.However, after the east tour, Li Si's unparalleled confidence in the emperor's side was shaken.Although the emperor still asked him to preside over the worship ceremony, and even asked him to draft a missionary document to worship Yuling in the future, everything remained the same.But he felt the shadowy fluctuations, the figure of the emperor turning his back on him from time to time, which made his heart beat wildly.

When did this feeling of the emperor's alienation and suspicion towards him start?

Not knowing when it started, the emperor began to test himself.Maybe it was after he made Mr. Su's dissatisfaction with the emperor Gao Mi, maybe after the emperor found out that he had private contact with Zhao Gao?

The more I recall, the more frightened I become.

Li Si had a terrible conjecture in his mind - the emperor had already begun to think about the gains and losses of the great government.

In the past, Shang Jun, even though his achievements were as high as Mount Tai, was still torn apart by the change of monarch.Now, the emperor is afraid that the initiator of the tyranny will be imposed on someone.And everyone in the Qin Dynasty knew that the most important writer of the New Deal in the Qin Dynasty was none other than him, the prime minister.

It's not as good as it is to hold and make a profit.If you try to sharpen it, you can't keep it for a long time.

The wealth is extremely high, I am afraid that it is already in danger.

In the cabin, although it was the most sweltering time in the middle of the day, due to the skillful craftsmen of the Gongshu clan who designed the hollow glass windows, there was a sea breeze passing through the cabin.

The emperor was lying on his side on the cushion woven with reed mats, his expression a little solemn.

On the sides of the case made of magnets, bamboo slips are piled up in the car, all of which are government affairs from various places sent today.

Zhang Han knelt at the entrance and heard the emperor ask, "Is there any news from the mirage?"

Zhang Han was taken aback, this should be Luo Wang's responsibility.But when the emperor asked, he didn't dare to think too much, and said: "Return to Your Majesty, I have ordered people to look around, and there is no sign of mirage in the sea for the time being, but I did hear that fishermen mentioned that a large ship appeared in the sea recently."

The emperor's complexion was not good, he pondered for a moment, and then slowly opened his mouth: "Zhang Han, just now, a fairy and a strange fish fell into a dream."

When Zhang Han heard the words, he knew that the dream might be unknown, otherwise he wouldn't have retreated four orders to tell himself.

The emperor pondered and said: "The widow dreamed that on the way of the boat, an ancient giant corpse holding a bronze mirror floated in the sea. Through the mist, the three fairy mountains on the sea are clearly visible, they are clearly Yun Zhongjun and the widow Penglai Yingzhou and the abbot. The widow is about to go, suddenly the corpse of the fairy jumped up and turned into a giant fish and plunged into the sea, causing huge waves. I want to overturn the building of the widow."

"Zhang Han is the emperor's close minister, so he naturally knew the emperor's increasingly suspicious troubles, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you have been exhausted by boating and traveling recently, maybe you are thinking about it every day. "

The emperor waved his hand: "No, there must be a reason for a fairy and a big fish to dream. You can ask people to go around and find out if there are any big fish in the East China Sea recently?"

Zhang Han immediately accepted the order: "No."

The parting of ways between Chu Jun and the Mohists changed the direction of the whole itinerary.

The emperor had already gone to sea, and Shaoyu took the people Gao Jianli brought from the Mo family to Jinling, Zhu Fang and Yunyang to rescue the old clan and win people's hearts.At the same time, I also asked the Mohist organ bird to send a message to Long Qi who stayed at the farmhouse in Dongjun, ordering him to gather the old departments that stayed in Dongjun.

A great war that will exhaust the entire world is imminent.

The Mo family continued to walk westward, looking for a suitable foothold.Just after the lunch break that day, Jing Tianming yelled: "Uncle—" he rushed all the way, with a look of joy on his face.

Gai Nie heard the footsteps of many people approaching, and just had time to say: "Tianming." Then he heard another familiar voice: "Brother Gai."

The person who came was Xiaoyaozi of the Taoist family, so it was no wonder Tianming was so excited.

Everyone saw the reason, and Xiaoyaozi checked Gai Nie's pulse without resting.After a while, he stroked his beard and nodded slightly: "It's a blessing among misfortunes."

Tianming scratched his head and said, "Mr. Xiaoyao, my uncle is so badly injured that he can't see anything so far, how can he say he's lucky?"

Xiaoyaozi looked at him with a funny face: "Your uncle passed on the power of the Six Souls Curse for you. If you were an ordinary person, you should have died of exhaustion because of using your internal energy. It is because your uncle learned the way of swordsmanship Only by surpassing ordinary people can the yin and yang be reversed and the meridians locked. Otherwise..."

Tianming suddenly remembered the experience of being so dangerous and narrowly escaped from death that day, and leaned over to touch Gai Nie: "Uncle..."

Gai Nie withdrew his hand, turned his head slightly to Tianming: "Tianming, uncle is fine now."

"But your eyes—" Tianming muttered, then turned to Xiaoyaozi: "Senior, you can definitely cure my uncle's eyes, right?"

Xiaoyaozi nodded, but then shook his head: "Maybe, but not now?"

"Why?" Tianming asked anxiously.

Xiaoyaozi said: "There are 36 heavens where all things are said, and they are the original habitats of all things in the three thousand worlds. In the 36 heavens, the Human Sect has a unique technique called the rejuvenation of all things. Or it can suppress the spells of the Onmyo family."

The old man Ban who finally caught up with Tianming was so exhausted that he was out of breath. When he heard this sentence, he couldn't help saying happily: "Great, Mr. Gai is saved!"
