Chapter 952: Good words are hard to persuade those seeking death!
In Yunmengze, a young man named Xiang Yu had an indignant look, "Fengshan, does Ying Zheng deserve it?"
With the spread of the Fengshan sacrifice, what the meaning of the Fengshan sacrifice was was also learned by many people.
This is a ceremony to announce one's merits to Heaven, Earth, gods, and ghosts. After completing the ceremony, one can prove one's identity as a king, representing that one is the king to whom Heaven's mandate belongs.
So, is Ying Zheng a king?
Of course he is!
Annihilating the Six States, then east to the immortal mountain Penglai, bringing back many things from the immortal mountain, south annihilating Baiyue, annexing all three countries of Baiyue, making them commanderies of the Qin Guo. In the west, although it is a vast desert, the Qin Guo still had gains, annihilating the ancient country of Loulan that had been passed down for two thousand years, and all the people of the ancient country of Loulan became people of the Qin Guo. And in the north, it was even more extraordinary, directly annihilating the Xiongnu, pushing the border line of the Qin Guo from south of the Yinshan Mountains to north of the Yinshan Mountains, and taking the Xiongnu's royal city, Touman City, as the new border of the Qin Guo.
Unfortunately, some people always fail to see this.
These few people in Yunmengze are like this.
In their view, Ying Zheng does not deserve to be king; he is the culprit who annihilated their home country. Their fathers and brothers all died because of Ying Zheng.
At this moment, upon learning that Ying Zheng was about to perform the Fengshan sacrifice, how could they endure it?
Xiang Yu let out an angry roar.
Beside him, Xiang Liang, Xiang Bo, and the military advisor Fan Zeng, who had followed the Xiang clan for a long time, all had gloomy expressions.
Just as Xiang Yu said.
Fengshan, does Ying Zheng deserve it?
If one really wants to perform the Fengshan sacrifice, it should be performed by the king of their State of Chu.
At the same time, there was another reason why they resisted Ying Zheng's Fengshan sacrifice.
That was that they did not believe that Heaven's mandate was with Ying Zheng. The people of the State of Chu had always believed in the way of gods and ghosts. The Fengshan sacrifice at Mount Taishan represents the divine right of kings and represents Heaven's mandate. If Ying Zheng really performs the Fengshan sacrifice, it represents that he is a person with Heaven's mandate. How can they, these people of the State of Chu, find reasons to oppose Qin and overthrow Ying Zheng's rule?
Just when several people were angry about this matter, Fan Zeng thought of one thing.
"Regarding the Fengshan sacrifice, according to the rituals, one needs to first Shan Mount Liangfu, and then Feng Mount Taishan. These two mountains are located in the land of Qi and Lu, which is in the east. If Ying Zheng is preparing to perform the Fengshan sacrifice, he must leave Xianyang and go to the eastern land..."
"What does Mr. Fan mean?" Xiang Liang immediately heard the meaning in the words and looked at Fan Zeng.
Fan Zeng said bluntly: "If Ying Zheng stays in Xianyang, it is very difficult for us to find an opportunity to deal with Ying Zheng. The one most likely to kill Ying Zheng in the past was the assassination of Qin by Jing Ke planned by the State of Yan, but we all know now that because Jing Ke betrayed the court, this matter ended in failure. Since that matter, basically no news of anyone assassinating Ying Zheng has spread."
"This means that the Xianyang Palace is as solid as a rock, and wanting to kill Ying Zheng in Xianyang is an extremely difficult thing!"
"But if Ying Zheng leaves Xianyang, that's not necessarily the case."
"He is going to Mount Taishan for the Fengshan sacrifice. For the sake of safety, he will definitely carry many guards. However, no matter how many guards there are, there will eventually be times of negligence. For us, this might be an opportunity!"
"As long as Ying Zheng is still alive, it is very difficult for us to find an opportunity for revenge and restoration. But if we can take the opportunity to kill Ying Zheng, the Qin Guo will lose Ying Zheng. Even if a new king succeeds, the prestige of the new king will not be as good as Ying Zheng's. At that time, if we raise our arms and shout, the remnants of the Six States in Shandong will respond one after another, and the world will immediately fall into great chaos!"
Fan Zeng thought very well.
As long as Ying Zheng can be killed, the world can be thrown into great chaos.
Of course, all of this has another premise, that is, Ying Zheng can really be killed.
However, for Xiang Liang, Xiang Bo, and Xiang Yu beside Fan Zeng, they did not consider the difficulty of this matter. They only thought about killing Ying Zheng and then restoring the country.
Especially earlier, after the Mirage returned, there were rumors in the world that Ying Zheng had obtained the elixir of immortality.
If this matter is true, and Ying Zheng really obtained this thing, under normal circumstances, they simply cannot outlive Ying Zheng, let alone restore the country.
Therefore, if they want to restore the country, they can only find another way, for example, killing Ying Zheng.
The elixir of immortality can at most make a person's lifespan infinite and not die of old age; presumably, swords can still kill.
Since Ying Zheng is about to leave Xianyang because of the Fengshan sacrifice, this might be their only opportunity.
Xiang Liang immediately said: "Mr. Fan is right, this might be an opportunity. I will immediately go to contact the old subordinates!"
Although the State of Chu has been annihilated, there are still many remnants of the State of Chu. They are scattered all over the world. Xiang Liang thinks that if he is willing to contact them, he can still pull out a group of people.
Hearing this, Xiang Yu also hurriedly said to his uncle: "Uncle, I will go with you!"
Xiang Liang originally wanted to dissuade Xiang Yu, but after seeing Xiang Yu's firm gaze, he eventually gave up.
The great responsibility of the Xiang clan, and even the State of Chu, will eventually fall on Yu'er's shoulders. It doesn't matter if he is taken to gain experience in advance.
Following the Xiang clan members, because of Ying Zheng's Fengshan sacrifice, they all had thoughts, and they also bid farewell to Chu Nangong, who had taken them in, and left Yunmengze.
Chu Nangong knew why they left, and looking at the direction they left, he sighed faintly.
In the end, good words are hard to persuade those seeking death.
He saved these people once, but he couldn't save them forever.
Chu Nangong did not say what they would face if they assassinated Ying Zheng.
The greatest danger is that they will face the National Preceptor Su Xuan.
I am afraid that before they can kill Ying Zheng, the National Preceptor will easily take their lives.
"Perhaps, this is the truth!"
Chu Nangong whispered to himself, "The State of Chu has been annihilated, and the era belonging to the State of Chu has long ended. Although I saved them, I could not save the entire State of Chu. These people, from the beginning, should have been buried in the dust of history along with the State of Chu!"
Thinking of this, Chu Nangong suddenly became open-minded and felt that it was not so painful.
In the final analysis, he saved Xiang Yu and the others because he was also from the State of Chu and wanted to leave some sparks for the State of Chu. But since Xiang Yu and the others were obsessed and seeking their own death, Chu Nangong could not care less.
At the same time, this also proved one thing.
The era of the State of Chu has ended. At the moment, it is the era of the Qin Guo. Ying Zheng's Fengshan sacrifice, he might really be the person with Heaven's mandate.
The State of Chu lost to Heaven's mandate, which can be considered not an unjust loss! ===== CHAPTER 954 =====
