Chapter 820: The elusive Qin Shi Huang
Chapter 820: The elusive Qin Shi Huang
The first few days were normal, everything went according to plan.
But suddenly one day, all plans were disrupted: Qin Shi Huang did not go to the designated place to eat and stay as agreed, but killed a horse gun and returned to an unknown town.
Sometimes! He did not stay at the inns on the official roads, nor did he live in the post stations arranged by the town, but chose to sleep in the wilderness.
One more day! There was no Qin Shi Huang in the convoy.
The carriage in which Qin Shi Huang was riding was empty.
The Princess's carriage was also empty.
In the princess's carriage, there was no longer the laughter of the little baby (little prince).
Since the disappearance of Qin Shi Huang, the convoy has been carried out according to the original plan. It's just that! There is no Qin Shi Huang and the princess and the little prince.
Other than that! Qin Shi Huang's personal bodyguard was also gone.
Peng Zhou, the old ancestor, is naturally gone.
Peng Zhou has not appeared since he went on patrol.
With his cultivation, he can be completely invisible and not let everyone see it. But! In front of Qin Shi Huang and others, he was all right. He was by the side of Qin Shi Huang and by the side of everyone.
After Qin Shi Huang's patrol team reached the boundary of the original Chu State on the south side of the Great River, it became abnormal.
After arriving at the intersection to Nanban, Peng Zhou took away his substitute's wife and children, the princess and the little prince, and went to Nanban.
Under the persuasion of the stand-in, the princess also figured it out: What's so good about being a princess? What's so good about being the queen mother? Maybe? Before that day came, you were killed.
Knowing the consequences, why bother?
So! She is willing to take her son to Nanban to live in seclusion.
Furthermore! Qin Shi Huang promised her countless money and supplies. After arriving in Nanban, she could live for several lifetimes without labor. The premise is! Hide your identity and live like everyone around you. Even! It is safer to live a poorer life than others.
The civil and military ministers brought out by Qin Shi Huang were all the same as usual: just when Qin Shi Huang was present, where should he be.
Although Qin Shi Huang went on patrol, there were some affairs that still had to be dealt with.
Especially Li Si and other important ministers, there are a lot of things at hand. The official documents reported from various places have been sent to Xianyang, and they are forwarded by the fast horses of Xianyang. If you haven't sent the official documents yet, send them directly.
For safety, at the behest of Peng Zhou, Qin Shi Huang sometimes rode in a carriage and sometimes did not take a carriage. Sometimes it appears, sometimes it doesn't. Only the personal guards and others knew, and no one from the outside world knew, including Li Si and other ministers.
In dealing with government affairs, the stand-in has long been let go. He wouldn't ask anything about anything special.
But! It's not absolutely unquestionable. But! Spot check!
The important official documents submitted by Li Si and others, he sometimes read them, sometimes did not read them, sometimes they approved them, and sometimes they did not approve them.
Other words! Li Si and the others couldn't expect him to approve it. But! and do not fool him.
Who knows? Did Qin Shi Huang see it?
If he sees it, if you fool him, you will be looking for death.
Peng Zhou's doppelganger returned to Nanban, and asked the children and grandchildren on the Nanban side to send someone over to secretly pick up the princess and the little prince.
His side! Personal escort.
The stand-in arranged a guard to accompany him on the escort.
When the people from Nanban came to pick it up, Peng Zhou came back with the guards.
As for where the princess and the little prince were arranged to live in seclusion, the guards did not know.
Not to mention that the guards don't know, even the stand-in himself doesn't know.
But! The stand-in has already thought about it, rest assured Peng Zhou. Hanlian literature
He didn't do anything sorry for Peng Zhou, and he didn't do anything sorry for Qin Shi Huang, so! He believed that Peng Zhou would not kill his wife and children for no reason.
After Peng Zhou returned to the side of the fake Qin Shi Huang, who was the stand-in, with the escort, the fake Qin Shi Huang felt a lot more relaxed.
Unload your thoughts, and feel relaxed physically and mentally.
And then! With a few personal guards, he left the patrol team and returned to the river.
It had been arranged in advance, and a big boat was prepared by the river.
The patrol team didn't care about it, and went directly to the sea in a big ship, and then went north along the East China Sea......
On the side of the patrol team, all of them were handed over to Li Si and other ministers.
Li Si and others knew: The purpose of Qin Shi Huang's trip this time was not to inspect the world, but to go to Penglai Immortal Island to seek immortals.
On the side of the patrol team, Li Si and the others naturally had an excuse, saying that the lord was in poor health and could not meet with local officials.
Or! He excused himself and said, "The Lord is tired and needs to rest, so wait outside!"
Anyway! There are countless excuses. As long as the local officials are fooled, everything will be fine.
And the local officials, although they had to come to see the First Emperor, they did come with awe.
If they really saw Qin Shi Huang, they felt scared again. So! It's better not to see.
It's just that! The waiting time was too hard.
But! It's just one night or a meal. When Qin Shi Huang's parade moved, they didn't need to follow it anymore.
In order to prove and highlight the merits of the first emperor who came to this place and the first emperor, officials from all over the country held various forms to commemorate it. Even! Also consider this day a day of remembrance. And even more! Sacrifices are to be made to this day.
Under the leadership of a certain sycophant local official, later officials from all over the country followed suit, for fear of falling behind. I'm even more afraid that Qin Shi Huang will find out about this and blame you!
Why? Everyone else has set up a monument, but you don't have it there? What do you mean? Do you mean that I, Qin Shi Huang, have no merits?
With this kind of thinking, who would dare not follow suit? Even! Only going to do better!
What are you doing with a monument? I built a memorial hall and a museum directly in the local area.
Over here! It is the inn and post station where Qin Shi Huang lived.
This restaurant, Qin Shi Huang ate in it!
Qin Shi Huang's favorite dish is our local green vegetable radish......
Qin Shi Huang went to such and such a place, and it was picturesque......
It's not that Qin Shi Huang asked local officials to do this, but! Local officials have followed suit in order not to lag behind.
The stand-in Qin Shi Huang is in charge of this, you can do it if you like! I didn't want you to do it.
Opposite! It's okay to do it like this! Although it is formalism, it can still get social influence!
With influence, Lao Tzu can enter the realm of the heart.
With social influence, and positive influence, you don't need to practice the Taoist mind to enter the mental realm.
Now him! Social influence is needed!
Now him! It is no longer possible to improve oneself by cultivating the Taoist mind, but only by expanding one's social influence.
Though! He was a fake Qin Shi Huang. But! This social influence given by the world is for him. So! The beneficiary is him!
Since Qin Shi Huang left the patrol team to walk secretly, the patrol team returned to Xianyang after patrolling the south of the Yangtze River and arriving at the seaside.
Because! I can't hold it anymore.
There was always no Qin Shi Huang in the army on patrol, and Li Si and others could no longer be organized.
Although you can deal with the local officials who receive you, you can't deal with the speculation of the world.
