Chapter 314 The Emperor's Ambition
Chapter 314 The Emperor's Ambition
"That's wrong!!!"
Xu Feng said loudly.
It was loud enough for everyone to hear.
As expected, Ying Zheng and Meng Yi both looked over, but Ying Zheng's face was filled with anger, while Meng Yi's face was filled with confusion.
Xu Feng was not afraid at all, and continued with a frank expression: "The so-called divine right of the emperor is simply a ridiculous and stupid statement to fool the people! The emperor is entrusted with the mandate of heaven and controls the world, so he can do whatever he wants. This kind of bullshit is even more nonsense."
“It is said that Heaven sees as the people see, Heaven hears as the people hear. When King Wu defeated King Zhou, he said that Heaven is the parent of all things, and man is the spirit of all things, so Heaven’s will is the will of the people.”
“Whoever the people support, Heaven will empower; whoever the people hate, Heaven will depose.”
"That is why King Zhou was unjust, made enemies among the people, and alienated himself from Heaven."
"Although your Great Qin unified the world, its reign lasted only fourteen years. It perished in the second generation. Since then, it has gone through fourteen dynasties, big and small. The rise and fall of each dynasty was related to the people's will and opinions. From this, it can be seen that there is no such thing as the so-called divine right of kings. The so-called son of heaven is actually just a lie made up by the feudal centralized rule to fool the people."
In modern society, Xu Feng’s remarks are actually not that special. Anyone on the street can say a few words about them.
But to the ears of Ying Zheng, Meng Yi, and Concubine Li, whose thoughts were still stuck in the past two thousand years, the power was like a bolt from the blue, leaving the three of them stunned and their scalps numbing.
Xu Fengke could not care less and continued, "In the face of life, everyone is born equal. We should not be divided by wealth. If the emperor breaks the law, he should be punished the same as the common people. Although everyone's background is different, everyone should be respected in terms of personal dignity."
“When you are above others, treat them as human beings; when you are below them, treat yourself as a human being.”
"Your Majesty, as the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, you do control the fate of countless people. Your words can determine the life and death of countless people, but this does not mean that you can go against the laws of nature and do perverse things."
"The people fear you, respect you, and honor you, not because you are Ying Zheng, but because you are the emperor."
"If I take off your dragon robe and place you among the people, do you think they will still be afraid of you?!"
“Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!”
"When you, the emperor, become incompetent and unjust, and incur the wrath of heaven and people, then the people will naturally overthrow you and elect a new emperor!"
"So, this world is not what you want it to be!"
"General Meng Yi betrayed you. In your eyes, he is a traitor. But General Meng Yi saved the world. In the eyes of the world, he is a hero!"
"Asshole!!!"
Ying Zheng couldn't hold back any longer when he heard this, and cursed: "How dare you say such rebellious words? It's simply treason, you deserve to die!!!"
As he spoke, he formed his right hand into a claw and made a virtual grab towards Xu Feng.
Almost instantly.
Xu Feng felt an extremely powerful force surrounding him from all directions. Before he could react, it strangled him and made him unable to move.
What made him scared to death was that after the force strangled him, it did not stop, but continued to squeeze him.
It was as if she wanted to crush him alive.
Xu Feng used all his true energy to resist desperately, but it was of no use.
Compared to that force, his desperate efforts were as weak as those of a baby.
Xu Feng was horrified and shouted: "General Meng, save me!"
Meng Yi in the distance was a little hesitant.
He didn't want to fight with His Majesty over an insignificant outsider.
But soon, he seemed to have thought of something. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed it between Ying Zheng and Xu Feng.
boom!
It was like a vacuum explosion.
Countless strong air currents spread out in all directions, blowing Zhang Rishan and others to the ground. Xu Feng, whose handsome face had turned red, suddenly fell to the ground, kneeling on the ground with limp hands and feet, gasping for breath like a fish out of water.
However, his face showed relief at surviving the disaster.
He made the right bet!
Before he opened his mouth to speak, he had thought about whether he would offend Ying Zheng and be killed by him.
But after thinking it over, he decided to "speak up for justice"!
Because he felt that Meng Yi would not watch him being killed.
He admitted that he was gambling.
But he had to gamble.
The Immortal Binding Rope and the Five Finger Mountain can only deal with one person. One of Ying Zheng and Meng Yi must die before he can take action. Otherwise, no matter who they deal with, the remaining one will not let them leave the Qin King's Tomb alive.
In a sense, what he said was intended to sow discord between the two of them.
Xu Feng guessed that since Meng Yi was responsible for guarding the Qin King's Tomb, his strength should be comparable to that of Ying Zheng. Even if there was a difference, it should not be much.
Ying Zheng should also be aware of this.
So even though Meng Yi betrayed Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng would not necessarily fight to the death with Meng Yi.
He might even take advantage of Meng Yi's guilt and loyalty to the emperor and make him work for him again. This possibility is not impossible.
So Xu Feng deliberately said such words to provoke conflict and confrontation between the two.
It turns out.
Meng Yi did take action!
Although this is obviously not the first time, it is very important for the current situation!
"Meng! Yi!!"
Ying Zheng looked at Meng Yi with a gloomy face, and in a voice as low as thunder, he called out Meng Yi's name word by word.
Meng Yi was not a pedantic person. Since he had already taken action, the first psychological barrier was overcome. He said calmly: "Your Majesty, I dare to give you a piece of advice!"
"Not long after your majesty fell asleep, the second generation of the Qin Dynasty died. Now the world outside has undergone tremendous changes. More than two thousand years have passed. The world has changed dramatically. We no longer belong to this era."
"Rather than being out of tune and becoming the outcasts of the times, it is better for us to live in seclusion. I am willing to serve Your Majesty like an ox or a horse!"
It can be seen that Meng Yi still does not want to completely break off with Ying Zheng.
Unfortunately.
He had absolutely no idea of the ambition of an emperor.
With Ying Zheng's temper, how could he possibly humble himself and hide in this underground palace, living like an ant?
Ying Zheng raised his chin proudly and glared at Meng Yi with a slanted look: "Don't talk nonsense anymore. I'll ask you again, do you really want to go against me?!"
Meng Yi was silent for a few seconds, then replied: "For the sake of the people of the world, I have no choice but to do this!"
"it is good!"
Ying Zheng spread his hands, and strange blood-red flames began to rise from his palms. He stared at Meng Yi with cold eyes: "Since you are stubborn and unyielding, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Meng Yi took a deep breath, then clenched his right hand. With a burst of spatial turbulence, an ancient black machete appeared in his right hand.
He took a fighting stance: "Your Majesty, think twice!"
"Rebellious ministers and traitors should be punished by everyone!"
Ying Zheng shouted loudly and turned into a flying meteor, rushing towards Meng Yi at an extremely fast speed. The flames rising from the palms of his hands left a line of fire in the air because of their fast speed.
Meng Yi stood tall and fearless, and went forward to meet the enemy head-on.
The two of them collided violently!
