The Emperor of Qin gave six handsome men
Chapter 38 Assassination
When Wang Li heard the news that Qin Xingfu had been assassinated, he was so scared that he quickly brought people to rescue her, but found that the person had already been subdued.
"Are you OK?"
Qin Xingfu shook her head. She felt that something was going to happen today, so she had asked everyone to stop working and go home, close their doors and not come out unless necessary. There were few people on the streets now.
"It's okay, why are you here?"
"I heard you were assassinated. Is that the only one?"
As Wang Li spoke, Qin Xingfu realized that something was wrong.
"Quick, go back and deploy defenses. You have been tricked into leaving the mountain to lure the tiger away. Xianyang City is in danger today."
After hearing this, Wang Li quickly mounted his horse and went back.
"Lingjuan, you guys go back quickly and take the people back. The whole prefecture is under martial law. Yue Xin and Gao De, you guys notify the whole city that someone is causing riots. Everyone, be careful. Those who report treason will be rewarded, and those who shield them will be punished as well."
"My Lord, I am with you."
"Be obedient and go back quickly!"
Qin Xingfu's face was serious, and his voice contained a commanding tone that brooked no room for argument.
"Here!"
Ling Juan had no choice but to take his men back, and the others took orders to go down and make deployments. The people in Xianyang city were in a panic for a while.
Qin Xingfu thought about the unusual things that had happened recently, then rode his horse towards Fusu's residence.
When she arrived, there were already some corpses outside Fusu's mansion. Some were from the mansion, and some were assassins. She quickly picked up a knife and rushed in.
The smell of blood was so strong that she almost vomited. But when she heard the crying and shouting inside, she suppressed her discomfort and started killing people.
She had never killed anyone before, but when twenty or thirty people wanted to attack several children and some weak women, she couldn't help it and stabbed directly at the vulnerable parts of the people, such as the carotid artery, heart, and kidneys.
When the hot blood splattered on her face, she couldn't bear it anymore and lowered her head to retch. An assassin took the opportunity to hack at her from behind. She dodged a little, but her back was still scratched.
She was very strong and threw a corpse to block the enemy's steps. She ran to Madam Yan. Madam Yan and others felt relieved when they saw her.
With the help of Qin Xingfu and the servants from Fusu's mansion, the assassin was quickly dealt with, but she still received several cuts on her back and arms.
"Happy, are you okay?"
Mrs. Yan held the child in front of her and asked, and Qin Xingfu shook her head.
"It's okay. Please help treat the people's wounds first. Some of them can still be saved. If you have medicine at home, please ask someone to bring it to you immediately."
"Yes, yes, I'll have someone bring it to you."
Madam Yan nodded quickly, and Qin Xingfu could only pull some curtains to bandage people's wounds, and those who were not seriously injured also hurried to help.
"Are you injured?"
Qin Xingfu looked at Fusu's family.
"No, we are not injured. But you, please bandage yourself quickly!"
Mrs. Yan felt a little distressed.
"It's okay, it's nothing serious, just a simple bandage will do. Bandage the seriously injured first, it's best to boil some hot water, if the wound is too big, make sure to clean it before bandaging it."
As Qin Xingfu spoke, he deftly helped a little girl clean the wound. The wound went through almost her entire back, with flesh and blood protruding outside. The girl had already fainted.
"The hot water is here, Princess, please be careful."
Another girl brought hot water with her freshly bandaged hands.
"Okay, be careful."
After giving some instructions, she continued to clean the girl's wound. The unconscious girl frowned, her face was pale, and she was sweating from the pain all over her body. But she couldn't open her eyes. She could only vaguely hear an extremely gentle voice comforting her.
"It will hurt a little, just bear with it, it will get better soon after this time, don't be afraid!"
Soon other doctors came to help and treated the injured together.
Yue Xin and Gao De were really worried and looked for her everywhere. When they saw her covered in blood and still busy helping others treat their wounds, they felt very distressed.
"Sir, please treat the wound quickly. The back is covered in blood. Where is the doctor?"
"Why are you here? My injuries are relatively minor. I'm fine. Most of the blood here is other people's."
"Let's do it. Gao De, go take over. Sir, you still need to apply medicine. Your face looks very ugly. Let me apply medicine on you."
Yue Xin pulled her, and Qin Xingfu felt dizzy at this time and almost fell down. Yue Xin helped her sit down. She was only so fragile when she was sick.
Yue Xin quickly brought the medicine and applied it to her. He couldn't care less about anything else at the moment.
"Use hot water to clean it up, and then sprinkle the hemostatic medicine on it."
Qin Xingfu was lying on the chair with his back facing Yue Xin. After Mrs. Yan had arranged the children, she came over and saw Qin Xingfu's back. Her eyes suddenly turned red and she took the hot water and medicine.
"Happiness, come in and I'll help you."
After all, she is a woman, so she should be more careful. After helping Qin Xingfu into the house, Yue Xin had to help other people treat their wounds, but his mind was full of the injury on Qin Xingfu's back.
"Sir, please count."
The men under him could not bear to make a sound.
"Oh, sorry!"
indoor
"Xingfu, please change your clothes first. I have some clothes for you to change into."
Qin Xingfu took a look and took off her clothes without any hesitation.
"Hiss~ The wound hurts a little bit, it should be the blood coagulating in the wound, Madam Yan, please help me."
"it is good!"
Madam Yan helped clean her wound tremblingly. She didn't even know how painful the wound was. She cleaned the wound with tears in her eyes and applied medicine.
The wounds were not serious, but there were several of them, and she was asked to take good care of them.
On the other hand, preparations had been made in advance. When Wang Li returned, he quickly closed the city gates, deployed troops, and quickly suppressed the rebellion.
He went to Fusu's residence in person and found that there were no assassins there. He left some people to help, and the rest hurried to hunt for the assassins to prevent any of them from slipping through the net.
At the same time on the same day, in Shaqiu, a rebellion led by Li Si also began. He first used a wave of assassins to attract Meng Yi, and then surrounded Emperor Fusu and others.
"Li Si, what are you doing?"
Fusu didn't expect that Li Si would really dare to rebel.
"My lord, His Majesty is seriously ill and has been in a coma for five days. The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. I am also doing this for the sake of Great Qin. His Majesty said before that if something unexpected happens to him, I can choose one of the princes to be the ruler."
"How dare you! I have been by my father's side all day and have never heard him mention this matter. I think you want to be the king today!"
Fusu confronted Li Si with a sword in hand, while protecting the still "unconscious" First Emperor behind him.
Li Si did not say anything, but walked around Fusu and came to the place where the jade seal was placed.
"My lord, I will not be a king. As long as I am alive, I will be a subject of the Qin Dynasty. However, the situation is critical now, and Your Majesty has not appointed an heir. I am very helpless to do this. That witch is still in Xianyang, using her troops to gain the support of the people. I am worried that the Qin Dynasty will be in chaos!"
As he was speaking, he had already opened the box containing the imperial seal, but he saw only an empty box with a note inside. His face turned pale in an instant, and when he looked up at Fusu, he did not expect that the First Emperor had already sat up and was looking at him with a dark gaze. After having been with the First Emperor for so many years, he knew that he had no way out of survival.
At this time, Meng Yi appeared with his men and captured all the rebels.
"Your Majesty, the rebels have all been executed."
The First Emperor stood up and Fusu hurried forward to support him.
"You are just a bunch of useless people, and you still want to mess up this world. Ha! How ridiculous, Li Si! I think you were a man with great ambitions in the past, why are you so confused now? You really make me sad!"
Li Si had a dejected look on his face. He thought he knew the king well enough, but he didn't expect that he would go to so much trouble to get himself involved in this rebellion. He was so angry that he laughed wildly for a while.
"Hahaha... My life, Li Si, is worth it! Haha, I never thought that Your Majesty would go to so much trouble to set up such a scheme for Li Si. I will die without regrets. Hahaha..."
"Humph, you are such a person, you still refuse to repent even after all this. Your Majesty, I suggest that you immediately cut them into pieces."
Meng Yi was furious. He had always disliked this man, but he didn't expect that he would take the opportunity to rebel. Some ministers were so blind that they followed him in the rebellion. If His Majesty had not made early arrangements, these people would have succeeded long ago.
"Your Majesty, please spare us. We were confused for a moment!"
The cowardly one begged for mercy directly, while Li Si and Zhang Liang looked calm. They seemed to have expected such an outcome. They were worried before, but now they felt a lot more relaxed.
"Suppress them all. These people and their families will be punished with black ink and exiled to the frontier. I will exchange them for some civilians. I still have to go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to the gods."
A bloody storm was easily resolved by the First Emperor, who caught them all in one fell swoop when they gathered together to revolt. If it weren't for His Majesty's keen observation, he really wouldn't have known that these people were so cruel and ruthless, and that His Majesty actually spared their lives.
In the city of Xianyang, Qin Xingfu and Wang Li quickly cleaned up the rebels. Qin Xingfu encouraged exposure and covered up the rioters, and everyone in the city of Xianyang was in danger, fearing that they would be convicted as traitors.
In five days, while the city was clearing out the rebels and building roads, Qin Xingfu wrote two letters about everything. One was to the First Emperor, explaining the recent events in a very formal and honest manner. The other was to Fusu, just like writing to a friend, nagging a little bit, saying that his children were almost killed and were frightened, but now they have almost recovered, and she will protect them.
When the letter was delivered, the First Emperor and his entourage had already arrived at Mount Tai. When the First Emperor saw the letter in his hands, his expression finally looked much better.
"Your Majesty, the Confucians are waiting outside."
When Meng Yi's voice came, the First Emperor was stunned. They were not so self-conscious last time.
It turned out that those Confucianists who looked down on the First Emperor were kneeling on the roadside to welcome him. The First Emperor looked at this scene and sneered. These people did not give him a good look last time, but he never bothered to associate with such people who were seeking fame and reputation. He drove his carriage directly past the team and said to Meng Yi after thinking for a while.
"Meng Yi, let them follow!"
When we arrived at Mount Tai to climb the mountain, the sky was dark.
"Your Majesty, the weather is bad and it looks like it's going to rain. Let's wait!"
Meng Yi felt that the weather was bad and was worried that something might go wrong.
"It doesn't matter!"
The First Emperor waved his hand and started climbing the mountain himself. He felt that what Qin Xingfu said was quite useful. After exercising for so long, his physical condition was much better than before, and climbing the mountain was not as tiring as last time.
Before the sun rose, all the sacrificial items had been prepared. A group of Confucianists were busy running around, and they even wrote a sacrificial text for the First Emperor personally. The First Emperor thought it was good, and that Confucianists were quite sensible. He even felt embarrassed by the flattery, but still nodded.
The First Emperor had already bathed and changed his clothes, and began to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, following the procedure.
When the First Emperor was offering incense for the last time, he was actually very grateful to God in his heart for sending Qin Xingfu to the Qin Dynasty, bringing high-yield grain seeds to the Qin Dynasty, and also bringing various knowledge and technologies.
The sacrificial ceremony went very smoothly. The weather originally looked gloomy, but it didn't rain the whole night. It cleared up at dawn and even a rainbow appeared.
The historian quickly wrote it down in his little notebook.
"In the 37th year, the First Emperor offered sacrifices to the gods at Mount Tai. Suddenly, the dark clouds in the sky dissipated and the sky was filled with rosy clouds!"
After the sacrifice, the First Emperor stood on the mountain, feeling full of energy and laughing triumphantly.
"Hahahaha... I will definitely live a hundred years, and will make the Qin Dynasty last forever!"
Everyone else was packing up, and when they saw the First Emperor do this, they quickly knelt down and agreed.
"Your Majesty, ten thousand years! Great Qin, ten thousand years!"
After coming down the mountain, the Confucian leader Kong Yu invited the First Emperor to rest in the Confucius Temple. The First Emperor readily agreed. But when he stepped into the Confucius Temple, he did not go to worship Confucius. He walked around and that was it. Last time, he was not allowed to enter no matter what.
Thinking that Qin Xingfu liked to collect all kinds of books, he spoke up.
"I heard that the Confucius Temple has a rich collection of books, but I have never seen them before."
Kong Yu said quickly.
"Your Majesty, the collection of books at home is not worth mentioning. Compared with the library in Xianyang, it is relatively simple. If Your Majesty does not mind, please come this way."
As he spoke, he led the First Emperor towards the library, while Meng Yi looked around vigilantly. He always felt that this group of people was up to no good, as he remembered how these Confucianists behaved when he came here last time.
The First Emperor followed him to a three-story building. An old man was sitting at the door. When he saw the First Emperor coming, he saluted tremblingly.
"Kong Qian greets His Majesty!"
"No gift!"
The First Emperor looked at the person who had scolded him the most, and now he was so old that he looked terrible, but he never minded.
Kong Yu supported Kong Qian and made way for him, while Meng Yi was stopped outside.
"General, the library is a place for scholars, so you'd better not go in."
"How dare you! If something happens to His Majesty, your entire clan won't be enough to bury him."
As Meng Yi spoke, he drew out a half-broken knife and signaled people not to mess with him. The Kong father and son had no choice but to move aside. Meng Yi quickly followed and protected the First Emperor behind him.
The First Emperor casually took out a few bamboo slips and looked through them. There were versions in various languages, as well as some oracle bone inscriptions. The contents were all personal insights of Confucianists, and a small number were collections of books from other schools. After reading them, she found them very boring, not as interesting as what Qin Xingfu gave her.
After a quick look through the three floors, the First Emperor took out some and threw them to his followers, preparing to take them back to show Qin Xingfu.
The Kong family felt very distressed when they saw them holding those bamboo slips, but they were reluctant to do so, so they held their crutches tightly and put on a forced smile.
"These books are good, but the categories are too monotonous. We can learn from the library in Xianyang City."
The father and son of the Kong family bowed to show that they had received the teachings.
