Chapter 222 Qin Shi Huang’s Tomb Keeper

Xu Feng recounted all the examples of how Zhao Gao had disrupted the government, including how he persecuted loyal and honest people, called a horse a deer, assassinated Li Si, deceived the emperor, and so on.

He knew that Meng Yi must be very concerned about Zhao Gao's fate, so he told him everything.

"Later, as Liu Bang, Xiang Yu and others attacked cities and captured strongholds, the Qin Dynasty was on the verge of collapse. Hu Hai was restless and became seriously dissatisfied with Zhao Gao, so Zhao Gao planned a coup to kill the king."

"He had people disguised as rebels, attacking the palace, and finally forcing Hu Hai to commit suicide."

"After that, Zhao Gao tried to usurp the throne, but all the civil and military officials bowed their heads and refused to obey, thus crushing his dream of becoming emperor with silent resistance."

"Zhao Gao knew that his dream of becoming emperor was shattered, so he changed his mind temporarily and passed the imperial seal to Ziying, a member of the royal family."

"Since the power of the Qin Dynasty had been greatly weakened, Ziying had no choice but to give up his title of emperor and return to being called the King of Qin."

"Ziying had heard and witnessed all the crimes of Zhao Gao when he was still a prince. He was pushed to the throne by Zhao Gao and knew that he was just a puppet. He did not want to repeat the mistakes of Hu Hai, so he discussed the plan of killing Zhao Gao with his personal eunuch Han Tan."

"Zhao Gao asked Ziying to fast for five days before officially ascending the throne."

"When the deadline came, Zhao Gao sent someone to invite Ziying to accept the royal seal and officially ascend the throne."

"But Ziying claimed to be ill and refused to go. Zhao Gao had no choice but to go in person to invite him. When Zhao Gao arrived, the eunuch Han Tan was quick to kill him with a single blow."

"Then Ziying summoned all the ministers to the palace, listed all the sins of Zhao Gao, and finally exterminated all three of his clans!"

"Good kill!"

Meng Yi shouted loudly.

He gnashed his teeth and said, "This treacherous villain should be tortured to death and his bones should be crushed to dust."

"Zhao Gao has been a eunuch since he was young. His father was Zhao Sheng, who once followed the late king to the State of Zhao. Later, when Your Majesty was born, Zhao Gao was also born in the same year. The late king made Zhao Gao Your Majesty's playmate. The two grew up together and had a deep affection for each other."

"In addition, Zhao Gao is proficient in prison law and is physically strong, so he is trusted by His Majesty. He was even promoted to the position of the Minister of the Imperial Chariots, specifically in charge of His Majesty's chariots and guards of honor."

"Your Majesty trusted him so much, but he actually did something so disloyal and unjust to repay Your Majesty. He deserves to be cut into pieces!"

Seeing that he was angry, Xu Feng and others dared not say anything.

Meng Yi took a few deep breaths angrily, then continued to ask: "Then how did our Great Qin perish?!"

Xu Feng: "The Qin Dynasty was destroyed by Ziying."

"From the fact that Ziying plotted to kill Zhao Gao, it can be seen that Ziying had political talent and courage, and his talent was far superior to that of Qin II. However, when Ziying succeeded to the throne, the Qin Dynasty was already in trouble both internally and externally, and there were few troops left in the Qin Dynasty."

"Although King Ziying of Qin wanted to revive the Qin court, he was unable to do anything to save the Qin dynasty, which was doomed to fail."

"Soon after Ziying ascended the throne, Liu Bang led his army to successively break through Wuguan and Yaoguan, and approached the Qin capital Xianyang. When the civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty learned of this, they surrendered to Liu Bang."

"When Ziying saw this, he knew that the Qin Dynasty was doomed to fail, so he surrendered to Liu Bang with his imperial seal, military tokens and other items."

"From the time Ziying ascended the throne to the end of the Qin Dynasty, only forty-six days passed. After that, Xiang Yu entered Guanzhong and killed Ziying and the Qin royal family. As the magnificent Qin palace was burned down by Xiang Yu, the great Qin Dynasty came to an end and became history."

After listening to this, Meng Yi raised his head and closed his eyes.

Xu Feng even saw tears rolling down the corners of his eyes.

He didn't laugh at him for it though.

First of all, I don’t dare.

The second is sympathy.

He could understand Meng Yi's feelings.

The Great Qin Dynasty was a master of strategy and unified the six kingdoms. Most of the vast territory was conquered by the Meng family. It can be said that it was won with the blood of several generations of their entire clan.

As a result, not only all the hard work was wasted overnight.

The tribesmen were also massacred.

How could he not be sad?

Meng Yi stood there for a long time.

Xu Feng and others didn't dare to say anything and just stayed quietly by the side.

I do not know how long it has been.

Meng Yi sighed and said sadly, "Back then, Your Majesty and I said that we would create a foundation that would last for eternity, but who knew that in the end it would only last a dozen years... Never mind, more than two thousand years have passed, there's nothing to worry about."

After saying that, he looked at Xu Feng with some gratitude in his eyes.

"Thank you, little friend."

Xu Feng shook his head, cupped his hands and said, "Senior is a legendary figure who will live forever. I have admired you for a long time. I can't help you much, so I can only do my best."

Meng Yi waved his hand and spoke again.

"Are you here to rob a tomb?"

Although it is a question.

But the affirmative tone is unmistakable.

Xu Feng, Zhang Rishan and others felt creepy in an instant, and a chill rose from their vests.

They looked at each other for a few moments.

Then Xu Feng smiled obediently: "General Meng, we are not tomb robbers, we just came here by mistake."

Meng Yi smiled softly: "Okay, you don't have to hide it anymore."

"As a grave keeper, I have to guard against grave robbers like you."

"I was the one who supervised the construction of the imperial mausoleum. Whether it was the outermost formation of concealing the heaven and the sea, or the Qimen Dunjia formation at the back, or the other mechanical devices and beasts, I set them all up with my own hands."

"Do you really think this is a garden where tourists can wander around and easily get lost?"

"Besides, I am also familiar with your Zhang family's ancestor. He is proficient in astronomy, geography, and a wide range of knowledge. He is also very good at things like digging graves."

Xu Feng and others felt like they were about to suffocate.

It’s over, I’ve been exposed!

How to do? !

Meng Yi was a great general of the Qin Dynasty and also the tomb keeper of Qin Shihuang.

Secondly, judging from his performance just now, his cultivation is unfathomable. Without even thinking about it, Xu Feng is sure that even if all of them were put together, they would not be a match for Meng Yi.

Now Meng Yi saw through his intention.

they
Dead!
It's over, it's over!

Everyone was screaming and groaning in their hearts.

There was not even the slightest thought of resistance, because the fighting power displayed by Meng Yi was so strong.

So strong that they have no intention of resisting.

"General Meng, to tell you the truth, we are a national archaeological team, and we came to the tomb this time with a mission."

Xu Feng suddenly spoke.

"National Archaeological Team? Mission?"

Meng Yi looked at Xu Feng curiously.

Zhang Rishan and others looked at him in amazement, as if they were meeting him for the first time. Xu Feng said calmly, "That's right. It has been more than 2,000 years since the fall of the Qin Dynasty. In the meantime, we have experienced many empires and dynasties, splitting and uniting, rising and falling. Now we are a strong and peaceful modern country. Our country has no emperor, no nobles, no privileged class. The people are the masters of the country. We have achieved freedom, democracy, equality for all, no hunger, no war, and no turmoil."

"Our territory is almost three times that of the Qin Dynasty, our population is fifty times that of the Qin Dynasty, and our national strength is tens of thousands of times greater than that of the Qin Dynasty."

Xu Feng first described the current situation of Long Kingdom to Meng Yi to divert his attention.

really.

Meng Yi immediately looked at Xu Feng with interest: "No emperor? No nobles? Then who will rule the country?!"

"Of course it's the people. All leaders are elected by the people. There is a term system. When the term ends, the next one is elected."

"Isn't that a recommendation system?"

"Well, that's about the same idea!"

Xu Feng gave Meng Yi a brief introduction to the country’s current political system.
