After wearing a sick and weak cannon fodder as a prince

Three days later, Qin Xuechuan hosted a feast for the officials in the palace.He was in a good mood today, and he issued an order that if anyone dared not come, he would be punished as a crime of deceiving the emperor.After hearing this, the ministers felt uneasy, and now no one dared to offend the moody and moody emperor.

At this moment, Qin Xuechuan asked while listening to the sound of the orchestra playing outside, "Is it ready?"

The internal guard handed him the imperial decree: "Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."

Qin Xuechuan yawned after glancing at the above content, then he raised his hand and said, "Okay, put it away. Today, I'm having a big banquet for the officials in the Tai Chi Hall, so there must be some excitement to watch. "

He was wearing the black-colored phoenix robe that he wore when he was offering sacrifices back then. The costume was expensive, and the brilliance has not diminished over the years, but the people who used to be by his side have disappeared.

***

As night fell, Xiao Yu pointed at the soldiers outside the tent with the polished sword and said, "Brothers! Among you are also those who fought against my father. If what happens today, you and I The name will last forever, if I lose, I may lose my life, but I still want you to help me with all your strength, now the world is in chaos, and the people are suffering. We can only succeed this time, if we don’t succeed, we will be benevolent!”

"The subordinates are willing to follow the son!"

The soldiers shouted again and again, and just as they finished speaking, they saw brilliant fireworks lit up in the imperial city. At this moment, Qin Xuechuan was feasting all the officials in the imperial palace, and Chang Jianzhi had already sent a secret team to meet him. , When the second signal came from the palace, he would order the city guards to open the gate of Fengdu.

Those who were persuaded by Xiao Yu also gathered outside the city of Fengdu, but they each had their own ulterior motives. Now, no one knows that Qin Xuechuan has no heirs. If he dies, the position of emperor will be vacant. To rebel and kill the emperor is to snatch the throne, and there is bound to be a bloody storm in Fengdu.

But at this moment, the night was falling, and the palace people on the long street of the palace were walking in front of the palace lanterns.Qin Xuechuan came to Tai Chi Hall, when he sat on the high hall and looked down at his courtiers, he suddenly smiled: "Your family is very punctual today, I am very relieved."

All the ministers looked at each other after hearing what he said.The rules of the first emperor in Shihuang City are stricter. No matter who they are, they are not allowed to hang out in the streets of the city after the curfew. With his life in danger, which minister would come to the palace in the middle of the night?

"Come here, give me wine!"

As soon as the words fell, two pairs of palace people came from both sides, each holding a big silver jug ​​in their hands, which contained fine wine that had been treasured in the palace for many years.

"Your Majesty, I don't dare. This wine is for the royal family. If I didn't have great merit, Your Majesty would not be able to give this wine to my ministers."

After Qin Xuechuan heard someone say this, he looked at the person in the hall: "Yin Yushi's words are wrong. Which one of you here is not my right-hand man? I have only been on the throne for five years, and I first took care of those who intend to rebel. Lords and generals, after that, they took care of the stinky fish and rotten shrimps in the court. I feel that my body is not as good as the next year. If you don’t handle many chores for me in the court, I don’t know how big it is. What will Chu look like?"

As soon as the words fell, the courtiers in the hall came out and knelt down one after another: "The ministers are afraid, this is all the matter of the ministers!"

As the saying goes, if things go too far, there must be demons.Today is neither a festival nor a big day for offering sacrifices. Normally, Qin Xuechuan summoned his male favorites at this time to have fun in the palace banquet, but today he summoned so many ministers and gave him a gift. drink...

This is so abnormal.

Seeing them like this, Qin Xuechuan smiled and said: "What are you doing, dear friends? There is no need to be formal today, otherwise I will be angry."

What he said seemed to be a joke, but no one dared to take it seriously.Everyone knew that the emperor was moody, and if he said a wrong word, the lives of the whole family might be lost.

"It's been less than five years since I ascended the throne, and now the state of Chu is safe and peaceful, so I want to invite all my dear friends to come to the palace to talk with me, and talk about how my subjects in Chu are like."

As soon as the words fell, those people in the hall did not dare to speak.Is the emperor crazy?Returning the country to peace and prosperity... Does he indulge in pleasure in the palace, completely ignorant of what the outside world thinks of him?

"Wu Taichang, tell me, how do the people outside praise me?"

After Wu Taichang heard the emperor's words, the string in his head suddenly tightened. He stood up tremblingly, left the table and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, the people outside... all praise your merits and virtues. Fang, eradicating treacherous ministers, it took you less than five years to make all countries submit to Chu, and no emperor can do these things, but you have done it, Your Majesty."

After Qin Xuechuan heard his praise, he suddenly laughed happily like a child.But the people below didn't feel that he was happy and relaxed, instead they felt that Qin Xuechuan was abnormal.

Sure enough, after laughing a lot, Qin Xuechuan frowned and asked: "Really?"

Wu Taichang quickly replied: "Yes, Your Majesty! I believe that you will be immortalized forever, and will be remembered by the descendants of my great Chu descendants."

After hearing what he said, Qin Xuechuan frowned even tighter. At this moment, he stretched out his hand and touched the black jade wrench on his other thumb: "Really? Wu Taichang really thought that I would live forever instead of Is it a bad smell for thousands of years?"

Wu Taichang kowtowed quickly after hearing this and said, "Your Majesty, your words make the ministers terrified."

Qin Xuechuan lost the smile on his face at this moment, and he pointed to another person casually and asked, "Then what do you think of me?"

That man was less courageous than Wu Taichang, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty made all the countries submit to me and went abroad. He is No. 1 in the world. Naturally, his name will be left in history and will last forever."

Qin Xuechuan pointed at another person casually: "What about you?"

"I think Wu Taichang is right, Your Majesty is wise and mighty!"

……

……

Qin Xuechuan asked all the ministers in the hall, and they all flattered him, but not all of what they said was false.

When the banquet in the palace was at its climax, another firework flashed in the sky.With the sound of the fireworks, the gate of Fengdu City also slowly opened.

However, the army led by Xiao Yu stood still, and those princes and nobles who were guarding outside who wanted to fight for the throne rushed into the city.The soldiers in the city didn't seem to know it. They didn't know that the rebels broke in. At this moment, the Fengdu defenders and the rebels were confronting each other head-on in Fengdu.However, the ministers and the emperor who were attending the banquet in the palace did not know about it.

Qin Xuechuan shook his head helplessly after hearing the same answer from many people, and finally he shouted: "Pei Jian, come and talk."

At this moment, after hearing the emperor calling the name of the little historian, everyone couldn't help casting their eyes on him.At this time, Pei Jian stood up and replied: "Your Majesty unified the countries and achieved things that our ancestors could not do. Naturally, you have immeasurably meritorious deeds. It's just that your Majesty opened rivers to practice Taoism. There are not a few people who died due to heavy corvee these years. Your Majesty Your reputation is not as benevolent as your lords say, and you have done countless ridiculous things in recent years, and the people have already complained."

This little Pei Jian dared to say such things in front of the emperor, did he not want his own head?

Everyone who heard Pei Jian's words fell silent at the moment.

After hearing what he said, Qin Xuechuan clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Okay! Do you have anything else to say?"

From the ears of the ministers, the emperor's words meant "do you have any last words to say".Unexpectedly, Pei Jian seemed as if he didn't understand the meaning behind the words, and he continued: "Although His Majesty was in a hurry to open the river to cultivate the Tao, His Majesty thinks that His Majesty's actions will be of great merit! Your Majesty is an emperor, and everything you do is what you should do." .”

After hearing what he said, Qin Xuechuan smiled a little: "Pei Qing said it really nicely!" As soon as he finished saying this, he motioned to the guard in front of the temple next to him, "Pull it down."

As soon as the words fell, Pei Jianjian was carried away by two people. He himself neither begged for mercy nor struggled, as if he had accepted his fate.Everyone's fear at this moment reached the extreme, and now everyone in the hall is glad that what he said just now was in praise of the emperor, otherwise they would have ended up in the same fate as this historian.

After Pei Jian was taken away, Qin Xuechuan slowly walked down from the hall with a wine cup, at this moment he sighed deeply again: "Oh... I just listened to some good words at the end, who knew that there would be a Who knows how to tell the truth?"

Everyone broke out in cold sweat after hearing this.

At this moment, Qin Xuechuan looked at the silent people in the hall and said with a smile: "You all made me happy, why don't you drink the wine I gave you?"

But at this moment, the faces of several people were already pale, and apart from the trembling breathing and a strange atmosphere, there was only fear left in the hall.And at this time, the sound of weapons colliding and soldiers charging into battle could be heard outside.

Just when the main hall fell into a dead silence, an armored city guard outside suddenly rushed into the hall to report to Qin Xuechuan: "Report—report—report to Your Majesty! There are only more than [-] imperial guards among them, and the guards in the city are about to be unable to stop those rebels, please make a decision, Your Majesty!"

Except for Qin Xuechuan, everyone in the hall showed expressions of extreme horror.After Qin Xuechuan heard the news, he suddenly laughed loudly: "Hahaha... Dear lovers, have you heard that? Is this what you mean by peace in the world?"

Before the words fell, those who were in shock all knelt down and kowtowed: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty—"
