Chapter 2 Historical Mystery – The Two Golden Statues

When Qin Shi Huang, standing beneath the sky, heard himself hailed as the greatest emperor of all time, a title that has been used for over two thousand years, he clenched his fist, his heart brimming with pride and ambition.

As history flows on, Qin Shi Huang had already vaguely sensed that this woman from later generations was not a descendant of his Qin Dynasty. However, upon hearing the various praises he received, he reflected on his life and realized that it could be described as a groundbreaking achievement!

He ignored the congratulatory shouts from the courtiers behind him and burst into hearty laughter.

But then he saw that the woman was holding a spinning ball with some kind of country on it, and the "China" she mentioned was only such a small part of it. Qin Shi Huang was surprised again.

"Quickly, record the map on the sky!"

The ministers naturally recorded it immediately.

Unfortunately, they only caught a glimpse of the map, which greatly disappointed them, and they didn't know how to communicate with the young woman to get her to look at the map again.

The Grand Astrologer was greatly surprised. From the time of the Zhoubi Suanjing (the Book of the Zhou Dynasty), who did not believe that the sky was round and the earth was square? How could the map in the young woman's hand look like a ball? Could it be that they were standing on a ball?

"This land is so vast! And there are so many dynasties in the world?" Qin Shi Huang frowned. Even a quick glance was enough for him to memorize a great deal of information. "I wonder what these dynasties are like?"

At this time, Emperor Wu of Han had just sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions, intending to form an alliance with the Yuezhi to attack the Xiongnu. However, Zhang Qian's life was in danger, and Emperor Wu did not know Zhang Qian's current situation.

They had always known very little about the Western Regions, only that they had an old rival next door—the Xiongnu!

How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?

After being repeatedly provoked by the Xiongnu, Liu Che could no longer swallow his anger.

Looking at that map now, I realize how vast the world is. However, the map in the woman's hand was from more than two thousand years later. Time has changed, and the terrain is still somewhat useful, but it is temporarily useless for the overall national structure.

If only that woman had brought out the current map later.

Liu Che still had people keep an eye on the sky, and they were to be on alert if there was anything that needed to be copied.

The same applies to many times when the celestial canopy descends. Emperors and officials would have people pay attention to the words spoken in the celestial canopy, and if they encountered anything like a map, they would definitely copy it down.

Zhu Qinggu continued, "It is said that one day, Qin Shi Huang, accompanied by his ministers, was watching the army drills with great interest when he suddenly saw a group of menacing warriors wielding various weapons performing. Qin Shi Huang felt that to maintain his rule and ensure everything went smoothly, he could not allow these warriors to cause trouble."

At that time, a folk rhyme circulated that gold could ward off all evil, and an old farmer claimed to have seen twelve enormous men. Qin Shi Huang also received a divine message in a dream that the bronze statues could protect the country. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he collected all the weapons from the populace and melted them down in Xianyang to cast twelve bronze statues.

"And because bronze is golden, they are also called the Twelve Golden Men."

"These twelve bronze statues are uniquely dressed, with extremely fine and intricate carvings. They are enormous and historically rare, guarding the palace day and night. The twelve bronze statues are recorded in the Records of the Grand Historian, the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, and even Jia Yi's Faults of Qin. They are not historical fiction."

"According to experts' calculations, these twelve bronze figures vary in size, with the smallest weighing over 1,000 shi (a unit of weight). Experts estimate that the smallest bronze figure should weigh over 30 tons and be 8.12 meters tall."

The Book of the Later Han Dynasty... On the Faults of Qin... It seems that my Great Qin Dynasty did not last for thousands of generations!

Qin Shi Huang narrowed his eyes, exuding an aura of authority without anger.

Even though they had never seen those strange numbers and units before, they now had a strange sense of what they meant, just like the words and the woman's speech.

"After the Qin Dynasty ended with the death of its second emperor, these bronze figures disappeared without a trace. There are three theories about their whereabouts..."

Qin Shi Huang never expected to hear these words: "Qin! Second! Generation! And! Destroyed!"

"Fusu, what have you done? How could my Great Qin Dynasty perish after only two generations?!" Qin Shi Huang could no longer contain himself and unleashed his fury.

The refined young master named Fusu immediately knelt down to beg for forgiveness, his voice filled with grief and indignation: "If the Qin Dynasty perishes after only two generations, the blame will surely fall on Fusu. I beg Father Emperor to grant Fusu death! Fusu is willing to offer his life as a sacrifice to the fallen Qin!"

The ministers standing nearby bowed and advised, "Your Majesty, the young lady has not finished speaking. Perhaps the blame does not lie with the young master. Why not listen to her before making a decision?"

Li Si remained silent for a moment, but followed the other ministers in offering his advice. Although he was Fusu's father-in-law, he and Fusu had quite different political views, and his current plea was merely to comply with Ying Zheng's wishes.

If Ying Zheng had intended to execute Fusu, he would have already issued an edict to arrest Fusu, instead of merely reprimanding him as he is now.

Ying Zheng merely glanced at everyone with an inscrutable look, then flicked his sleeve and looked up at the sky again, "In that case, look at the sky first. If it is your fault, then Fusu, you shall be sentenced to death."

At this moment, Ying Zheng was paying attention to any expression on Fusu's face, and Fusu only complied, which made him somewhat disappointed.

"The first theory is that when Xiang Yu burned down the Epang Palace, he burned down the twelve golden statues along with the palace. However, this theory is not credible. According to the Records of the Grand Historian, Qin Shi Huang ordered the construction of the Epang Palace in 211 BC, but he died suddenly in 210 BC. The Epang Palace only had a foundation, so Xiang Yu had no reason to burn it down."

Zhu Qinggu included relevant historical records in the image, making them visible to everyone.

"boom!"

After learning of the death of Qin Er Shi, Ying Zheng also learned of his own impending death. The series of "surprises" almost overwhelmed him. He swayed, and Zhao Gao, who was beside him, quickly tried to support him, but Ying Zheng brushed him aside.

"Find him! Find this Hegemon Xiang Yu for me! Record every word and statement he uttered!"

At Baideng Mountain in the Han Dynasty, recalling the scene of Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King, entering Xianyang in high spirits, Liu Bang shook his head slightly, saying, "Xiang Yu was indeed a Hegemon-King, but his nature was like that of a woman, hesitant and prone to sorrow, which is why he could not achieve his hegemonic ambitions."

"You still want to know what will happen to your descendants."

When Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty heard that the woman's surname was Zhu, he immediately felt that the woman's face was strangely familiar.

"Girl, doesn't this woman in the sky look a bit like you? Could it be that our Zhu family has been around for thousands of generations? Biao'er, can you calculate how many years that is?"

When Empress Ma heard Zhu Yuanzhang say this, seeing the smile on his face, she also laughed and said, "It's possible. The eyes are quite similar, like the eldest daughter's."

The eldest daughter, Princess Ningguo, had long been married, and mentioning this made Empress Ma miss her daughter a little.

Zhu Biao, who was on the side, calculated based on the BC and AD dates and guessed that this descendant should be more than 600 years away from now.

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite pleased, but he didn't like hearing later generations call Qin Shi Huang the greatest emperor of all time.
