Chapter 361 Death of Ancestral Dragon(1/2)
People are selfish.
No matter how selfless and noble a person is, he has his own little selfishness.
What's more, the elixir of immortality offered by Zhang Yue is real.
The effect is immediate.
Let Zulong return to his youthful and energetic state at the age of thirty.
The guards, eunuchs and palace maids around them all saw it and all showed an extremely envious look.
People who know where immortality is placed.
The person in charge of the guard.
As well as the relatives of Zulong and some older nobles, they heard about the effects of the elixir of immortality and saw the changes in Zulong's body with their own eyes, and their mentality naturally changed.
Naturally, I also want to enjoy the elixir of immortality and embrace the endless years of immortality.
Zulong didn't plan to share it.
He only wants to take it alone, and he is the only one who takes it alone, and will not share it with anyone.
Even his son.
And this is the contradiction.
A Zulong stands in the contradiction between everyone.
Unless he makes compromises and concessions himself, he is alone and will not receive any support.
Originally, Zulong felt that this was fine. After all, he was indeed a lonely man and did not have to consider anyone's feelings, because he was the supreme emperor, the son of heaven, he could do whatever he wanted, and as his majesty grew, all the ministers who dared to argue and persuaded him would be dismissed.
Gradually, no one dared to offend his brows.
A court like a one-man show gradually formed like this.
There was hardly any minister or force that stopped him.
Today, Zulong doesn't care about the hardships the people have endured and the lives they live now. He only takes it for granted instrumental applications, and does not pay any attention to it. He still has the awareness of "water can carry a boat, but can also overturn it."
After the peasant uprising broke out in full swing.
After the slogan "Punish the tyrant Qin and kill the Zulong" was yelled.
Even the signs of uprising appeared in Guanzhong.
Zulong finally felt something was wrong.
He is not a fool, but he is extremely smart and has a very keen sense of smell.
With the reminder and suggestions of the Minister of Loyalty and Righteous, several projects were immediately ordered to be suspended.
For example, the construction of the Great Wall in the north.
The giant palace on Mount Li.
Construction of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.
As well as the storm, canal water network engineering, etc.
All were ordered to suspend work.
It is expressed that it is necessary to reduce the burden on the people, implement light taxes and taxes, no longer promote corvee labor, and requisition too much manpower and material resources.
The strict regulations in many laws have been abolished.
Even the tens of thousands of beauties in the palace were dismissed, expressing their desire to "reform and love the people and support the people."
All kinds of measures reflect the true nature of his generation of talented and powerful monarchs, showing his flexible and excellent side.
And his elixir of immortality was just stolen. Although I don’t know it was done, Zulong deeply felt that this enemy was not only outside the pass, but also inside the pass and in his palace, there were people looking forward to his death, hoping that he would die, which made him feel disappointed.
So he sent a large number of troops to find the whereabouts of the immortal medicine.
A number of government orders were also issued to slow down the construction of various infrastructure projects and send elite corps to find ways to put out the beacons everywhere.
He even transferred the Great Wall Legion and the South Vietnam Legion to stabilize the country and finally conquer the country.
Finally, it's endure.
Find ways to survive the next thirty years.
Because the person who stole his medicine was found, the princess of the noble descendants of the six kingdoms, she broke all the elixirs of immortality and spilled them all, and she would never allow his ancestor dragon to live forever.
"If you don't die, how can the people live a good life? How can the world be peaceful?"
Wow~
These words made Zulong feel heartbroken.
He wanted to go to an official to report that after learning that Zulong had never died, he would not have children. He would rather die than let his descendants die. He would rather die than let his descendants die. He would have to endure hardships and serve labor service for the rest of his life. Instead of living a life of life, it would be better not to give birth to them, so as not to have a day of happiness in this hellish world.
And this memorial finally hurt Zulong.
It hurt his face.
It hurt his self-esteem.
It also made him extremely angry and annoyed, wishing to kill people, kill 100,000 people, and kill a million people, so that they could see what "the wrath of the emperor, a million corpses" meant.
but……
People are not afraid of death, so why do they fear death?
Although Zulong is proud and conceited, it does not mean that he has no brains.
The number of people in the world accounts for more than 90% of them, and the nobles are only a very small number. Once the people in the world rebel, he, as an emperor, may be ruined.
appease.
Must be comforted.
Make some adjustments and measures that are in line with the interests of the people.
Take back the people's hearts.
We must keep the empire stable forever and last for thousands of years and no longer fall into a chaotic world.
However, after his actions were implemented.
The effect is not satisfactory.
Although the people in the pass were successfully comforted and were willing to continue to support him.
However, the rebellious forces outside the pass were not affected at all, but continued to grow wildly, and even become stronger.
Because millions of corvee people came from outside the pass, they were actively or passively and were carried into the uprising army, and then shouted the slogan "Punish the tyrannical Qin and kill the Zulong".
After all, the truth is very simple.
It is said that the Ancestral Dragon is immortal and can live for thousands of years and tens of thousands of years.
If their rebellion fails this time, will there be good results?
Will Zulong spare their lives?
Even if we have forgiven them and forgiven their sins in view of the great situation, what if they are dispersed? Or if they are twenty or thirty years later, when they are old and have no strength to rebel?
By then, Zulong is still alive, and has enough ability to retaliate and vent.
Then he ordered that all the Great Wall, Chidao, Canal and other projects be completed, and they were trapped in endless corvee service, and they had no strength to resist, so they could not be organized.
What should I do then?
"I can only continue fighting!"
"It must not be dispersed. Once it disperses, it will never be restored!"
"Unless we kill Zulong, we will never think of a good day."
"Instead of being exhausted and starved to death, it is better to go to Chang'an and kill Zulong, so that future generations can live a better life."
"Yes, once this tone is relieved, it will be over. The Qin people have always been untrustful and go back on their word."
"That's right, the Qin people have no faith, we can only create a future that belongs to us!"
After discussion, various uprising forces unanimously made a decision to continue fighting.
After all, in the process of destroying the six kingdoms, the Qin people had lie and used many tricks, and had already overdrawn their credit.
It also reminds me of the cruelty of Qin law, the strong restrictions on people, and the large number of various types of corvee labor, so I am simply living in hell.
beat!
Keep fighting.
And this fight lasted for a full ten years!
The war is boundless, and the war lasts for years, life is extremely difficult.
Zulong’s purpose is to use the inner and outer gates as the foundation, conquer the outside gates again, achieve unification, maintain the integrity of the country, and let the glorious Qin come back.
But this time, outside the pass was united.
To be continued...
