Chapter 81

And ever since the First Emperor destroyed the six states, there were no royal families left in this world.

So, now, if you are not of the imperial family or the nobility, don't even think about being an official!

And Ying Su making the nobles pay taxes, and paying according to the Qin tax, absolutely touched the interests of all the nobles in the world!

All the nobles in the world were angry!

In Xianyang City, people would still have some scruples when discussing things, that is, discussing them in someone's home!

But... in other commanderies, discussing this matter was done directly in the Commandery Governor's office!

It was spacious and large enough to accommodate enough people!

Discussing matters here was also convenient enough!

So, they discussed the great matter of rebellion directly in the Commandery Governor's office!

It was truly ridiculous to say this.

But... in their mouths, it was impossible to say it like that; according to their statement, the New Emperor held the First Emperor hostage, forced the First Emperor to abdicate, and now, they were going to march on Xianyang to help the First Emperor regain the throne!

In the blink of an eye, everyone entered the Commandery Governor's office!

A noble said: "Nowadays, it's useless for us to resist paying taxes. The unfilial son Ying Su wants to kill anyone who doesn't pay taxes. Under the First Emperor's rule, this was absolutely impossible. The First Emperor cherished the nobles; even when he destroyed the states, he never touched us nobles at all!"

"So, we must support the First Emperor!"

"Push this New Emperor down and welcome the First Emperor back to the throne!"

Another noble said: "Yes, this time, to support the First Emperor, I will contribute five hundred private soldiers from my family, not for anything else, but to vent our anger as nobles!"

"Who does he, Ying Su, think he is? Does he really think that once he becomes emperor, he can make everyone listen to him like a fool?"

"What kind of thing is he, making the nobles pay taxes?"

"Since the Xia Dynasty, there has never been a saying that nobles should pay taxes!"

"Back in the Yan state, we never paid taxes, and even now, we don't pay a single grain of tax!"

"March into Xianyang City!"

"Welcome the First Emperor!"

"March into Xianyang City!"

"Welcome the First Emperor!"

At that moment, many people started shouting!

Similarly, many people started donating their family's private armies!

Just like that, you five hundred, I three hundred, he eight hundred!

In the blink of an eye, a small Kuaiji Commandery had actually gathered a full sixty thousand private soldiers!

But soon, everyone hesitated: who should lead this private army to join up with all the private armies in the world and march into Xianyang City!

At that moment, everyone was recommending each other.

But no one was willing to give way!

At the critical moment, the biggest noble in Kuaiji Commandery recommended Xiang Liang!

"Xiang Liang?"

"Who is that?"

Many people had never heard this name!

But after the name Xiang Yan was revealed, everyone stood in awe!

Back then, he used an army of one hundred thousand to withstand Wang Wang Jian's army of six hundred thousand for a full three years.

Although he was defeated in the end, causing the Chu state to be destroyed!

However, this record of losing to six hundred thousand with one hundred thousand—even if he was defeated, it was hard to say he wasn't a hero!

Such a person made everyone admire him!

But admiration was admiration; there were still people who were unconvinced about letting Xiang Yan lead the army!

Xiang Yan didn't talk nonsense either; he gave Xiang Yu a look.

Instantly, Xiang Yu looked at a large tripod weighing a thousand catties and said to everyone: "If I can lift this tripod, not only will I lead the Kuaiji army, but you will also write recommendation letters for me, so that all the private armies of the nobles in the world will be led by me!"

"In this battle, if I, Xiang Yu, do not destroy the Qin state and kill Ying Zheng, I am willing to cut my own throat!"

He shouted...

And as soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned!

Destroy the Qin state and kill Ying Zheng?

Everyone was panicked to the extreme!

Xiang Xiang Lianggong glared fiercely at Xiang Yu and shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? What killing Ying Zheng, what destroying the Qin state?"

"It is to force Ying Su to abdicate, welcome the First Emperor back, and suggest to the First Emperor that we return to the enfeoffment system!"

He shouted.

And when these words were spoken, the nobles present felt much more comfortable.

Like destroying the Qin state and killing Ying Zheng, many people only thought about it, but if they were asked to do it, they really didn't dare!

Ying Zheng!

Who was Ying Zheng?

A fierce man who swept across the six states and unified the world!

The commoners were just too ignorant to dare to talk about rebellion!

Nobles?

Which noble dared to talk about rebellion while the First Emperor Ying Zheng was still alive?

Moreover, do you think Wang Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Meng Tian, and Meng Wu were pushovers?

If you said you were welcoming the First Emperor back, these people might not care.

But if you said you were destroying the Qin state, just try it?

Besides, there were also the original nobles of the Qin state!

If you destroyed the Qin state, those nobles of the Qin state wouldn't agree either!

After all, after unifying the six states, they were the ones who benefited the most under the First Emperor's rule!

Moreover, in the thirty-six commanderies of the Qin state, there were still nobles placed there by the First Emperor of Qin.

If you said you were destroying the Qin state, see if these people wouldn't immediately report it to the First Emperor Ying Zheng!

At that time, see which side the First Emperor Ying Zheng would stand on!

So, even if they wanted to, the words "destroy the Qin state" could never be spoken.

What they wanted to resist was just the nobles paying taxes!

Under Xiang Liang's repeated assurances, the nobles all looked at Xiang Yu.

He said he could lift a thousand-catty tripod?

One person said: "If you can lift this tripod, it will be as you say!"

Others nodded!

Although this tripod didn't actually weigh a thousand catties, it was still seven hundred catties.

Being able to lift a seven-hundred-catty tripod was also a god-like feat!

He was fully qualified to lead the army!

Xiang Yu didn't delay at all and lifted the tripod above his head!

Everyone watched with their own eyes, and seeing Xiang Yu not only lift this seven-hundred-catty tripod but also not look the least bit strained, they felt it was magical for a moment.

Similarly, without any delay, he directly took control of the sixty thousand private soldiers gathered in Kuaiji Commandery!

At the same time, he also obtained recommendation letters from all the nobles in Kuaiji Commandery!

Recommending him as the Grand General of all the private armies of the nobles in the world!

And how many troops this could gather, no one knew, but without a doubt, it would be many, many!

Because, in the places where troops were gathered, it was by no means just one Kuaiji Commandery!

All the nobles in the thirty-six commanderies were gathering!

Next, Xiang Yu's goal was to take the sixty thousand private soldiers to Julu Commandery.

This was the result of the joint discussion of all the nobles in the world; all the private armies in the world were gathering in Julu!

And then, march into Xianyang City and welcome the First Emperor!

It was also because of this slogan that no one blocked them on their way!

On the contrary, the commandery governors of those cities even looked at them with the eyes of looking at heroes!
