Chapter 18: Feeding birds and benevolence, but it is a poor family without a filial son!
The girl was stunned and said:
"The little woman's surname is Bo."
"It is indeed from Kuaiji County, Wei."
"Our family moved to Xianyang a few years ago."
"The family is still wealthy, but the city is short of food recently, and the family is short of food. I am really hungry all these days, so I risk going out of the city to find food, which makes the young master laugh."
"Thank you for your help, my son."
Qin Luoheng's forehead was slightly raised.
Although the girl said it more implicitly, he knew the situation in the east of the city and knew that the girl's truth was similar to what he guessed.
He said:
"My surname is Qin."
"You don't have to call me a young master, I'm just an ordinary Qin man."
The word "Prince" and "Princes" was a specific title for princes and nobles before the Warring States Period, but it had become a beautiful title for top scholars during the Warring States Period and the Qin Dynasty.
Although Qin Luoheng was confident that his knowledge was not inferior to these so-called top scholars, the Qin Dynasty was a society with strict hierarchy after all, and he was unwilling to cause trouble for some false reputation.
Hearing words.
A hint of doubt flashed in Bo Shu's eyes.
Qin?
Didn’t the Qin Dynasty have an order not to allow the surname Qin to be the Qin leader?
Although she was a little puzzled, she didn't ask questions in a sensible way, just nodded.
For a moment.
It suddenly became quiet.
Bo Shu was drinking salt and sugar water quietly beside her, but her eyes looked at Qin Luoheng from time to time, as if she was curious about the identity of the boy in front of her.
It's been a long time since.
Qin Luoheng seemed to remember something and asked curiously: "I remember when I saved you, your location was on the edge of Mount Li. As far as I know, most of the nobles from the six places entered Qin were arranged in Fang District east of Changyang Street. I wonder what the situation there is now?"
He wanted to find out the news.
This is to determine whether your previous guess is true.
Is the First Emperor really using a knife to kill people?
When she heard Qin Luoheng mention the recent Guanzhong Dasu, Bo Shu couldn't help but feel fear and panic in her eyes. She seemed unwilling to think about this miserable past.
Qin Luoheng also realized that he had asked the wrong thing.
He quickly explained:
"I don't mean to stimulate you."
"I just remember that there were many nobles from the sixth place in the east of the city. With their family background, they should not have fallen into the ground. But today I went to the city and saw that the east of the city was like a purgatory on earth, with countless casualties."
"If a lady doesn't want to, just don't say it."
"I will never force it."
Bo Shu said:
"I know the young master is unintentional."
"In the city...there were indeed a miserable day in the city. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a purgatory on earth. For a few mouthfuls of food, they argued with each other and even fought. Even so, many people starved to death during that period of time in the city."
"even......"
"Several kings starved to death!"
"Tell me in detail." Qin Luoheng's eyes lit up.
Bo Shu was stunned.
But he continued: "I don't know very clearly. I remember someone at home said that it seems that King Jian of Qi was starved to death, but King Xi of Yan was not very clear."
"At that time, the east of the city was extremely short of food, with a thousand six hundred rice and stones."
"The King of Qi was already old and didn't like coarse grains. He was furious all day long. He was eventually hated by his brother Tian Fu and his sons Tian Sheng and Tian Huan. The last few people conspired to cut off their food. A few days later, the King of Qi was starved to death in the house!"
"Yan Wang Xi is even more miserable."
"His son ignored him at all and just asked his subordinates to take care of him. As a result, those subordinates were evil slaves and deceived the master. The King of Yan was finally cut off from his food and died tragically in the house. However, some people said that the King of Yan died of starvation, while others said that the King of Yan was angry to death."
"I don't know what's going on."
"Although the other kings were not dead, they were not bad. They were basically curled up by their own princes. How did they suffer such suffering? When I was out, I heard that they were going to Xianyang Order to ask for the execution of these rebellious sons."
"Aristocratic families, who are said to be scholars, marquis and nobles, learn poetry, ethics and righteousness, but do things that are worse than animals. If I could, I would rather be born in an ordinary family, and I would not have seen so many things that are broken by rituals and music."
Seeing Bo Shu full of sadness, Qin Luoheng shook his head and said:
"It is said that feeding birds is against kindness, but the reality is that there is no filial son in the poor family, and the same is true for the royal family."
"You are still very weak now. Drink the salt and sugar water first, go back to the house to rest. When your health improves, I will send you home."
“As for birth.”
"No need to worry too much."
"There is no perfect life in the world. I believe the court has already known this tragic situation in Guanzhong, and it should not happen again in the future."
"even......"
"In a few days, the court will come forward to make compensation."
Bo Shu nodded.
After drinking the salt and sugar water, I returned to the room.
Stay alone in the study.
Qin Luoheng kept tapping the desk with his fingers.
He has confirmed that this Guanzhong tragedy was done by the First Emperor.
The First Emperor took the opportunity to cut off the influence of the nobles of the six countries.
"The emperor's heart is unpredictable."
"Although Guanzhong is tragic this time, the most serious casualties are actually the major nobles and powerful people. After the death and injury cases in Guanzhong are handled during this period, these nobles will still have to peel off their skin, but the First Emperor will not give up."
"What the First Emperor wants is a stable empire!"
"The remaining kings of the six kings and the remaining nobles in various places will be the main targets of the First Emperor's attack. The First Emperor will continue to take action until the remnants of the six kingdoms pose no threat to the Qin Dynasty."
"But how easy it is to do it?"
"There are not short of smart people in the six countries. After experiencing this catastrophe, they must have guessed the thoughts of the First Emperor and would not surrender next time."
"Let them dare not rebel yet."
"But they can run!"
"The world is very big, with many hills and lakes. Once the court escapes from the vision of the court, it will be difficult for the court to capture these people back."
Qin Luoheng shook his head.
He did not continue to think about it. Some things were too much of the money, and it was of no use.
And he knew what the First Emperor would do next.
Historically recorded as:
‘The exiled people were garrisoned with 500,000 people!’
That is, he immigrated 500,000 to Lingnan.
But now Baiyue has not been fully defeated, and the migration is still too early. Moreover, this migration has not been successful in history. Many nobles from the six countries ran away this time.
It was already the end of Qin when they showed up again.
It's late at night.
After reading the "Tao Te Ching" several times, Qin Luoheng also returned to his room, put out the candlelight in the cup, and fell asleep.
In a dream.
He was a Qin official.
He worked in the prison yamen, with a plaque with a "mirror hanging high" above his head, and three guillotines of dragon, tiger and dog were placed on the hem of the hall. He was wearing a black robe, a shackle, and sat upright.
Very majestic!
Just as the yamen runners were shouting "Magic" around him, his eyelids sank, and he appeared in a high wall and deep palace. There were faint sounds of soldiers walking around him.
He recognized this place.
He tried hard to open his eyes, trying to see some details.
