Chapter 968: Becoming an Eternal Nightmare in the Hearts of Rebels!

In the side hall, accompanied by Su Xuan, Ying Zheng met with the rebels of Chu.

After telling the other party a certain answer, Ying Zheng had no more interest in talking to these rebels.

Leaving the side hall, he ordered the Shadow Secret Guard to execute these people directly.

According to their crimes, if he wanted to achieve the effect of making an example of them, he could have kept them, brought them back to Xianyang, and subjected them to the punishment of being torn apart by chariots. But Ying Zheng thought about it: wouldn't that be letting these people off easy, letting them live for a while longer? Therefore, in order not to let them off easy, it was better to execute them early and let them go down to the Nether Capital to see Tubo.

When leaving the side hall, it was already night outside.

A bright moon hung high in the sky, and the moonlight spilled over the earth, as if covering the earth with a light veil. Beside the bright moon, there were hundreds of millions of stars dotted, like a strange chess game.

Ying Zheng looked up at the bright moon in the sky and said to Su Xuan beside him: "Grand Master, tell me, how many rebels are still hiding in this world?"

Su Xuan was silent for a while and gave the answer: "Countless!"

Ying Zheng subconsciously wanted to say "impossible," but after thinking about it, he finally accepted the answer. He sighed: "Yes, Qin destroyed the Six States and took away everything from many people. These people hate the Qin Guo to the bone because of this, but forced by the power of the Qin Guo, they can only temporarily lurk in the dark."

"Today, the remnants of the Xiang clan of Chu raised their arms in a call to arms, and three commanders of the four great legions of Chu came, and many remnants of the Chu army gathered, just to assassinate me."

"This is just the energy of the Xiang clan of Chu. In the vast world, I don't know how many rebels exist."

"I originally thought that by avoiding the impact on the common people as much as possible during the destruction of the states and by practicing benevolence, I could eliminate the resistance and resentment of the people of the Six States toward the Qin Guo."

"Now I find that I am still too kind!"

"I treat the people of the Six States with benevolence, but the people of the Six States will not be grateful."

"This is actually not a difficult thing to understand." Su Xuan spoke lightly from the side, answering Ying Zheng's words.

Ying Zheng looked at Su Xuan curiously.

Su Xuan explained: "To put it in layman's terms, it is that Qin destroyed the Six States and took away the money and women of many people in the Six States. After they lost their money and women and lost their past status, they were naturally extremely unwilling, so they had to find ways to take back everything they had. The so-called anti-Qin and the so-called restoration of the state are actually just excuses; in essence, it is still to take back everything they had."

"As long as these people still exist, even if Your Majesty treats the common people of the Six States with benevolence, those remnant nobles of the Six States will not be grateful for Your Majesty's grace and will still try every means to incite the common people to sell their lives for them and rebel."

"All of this is because the grace bestowed by Your Majesty does not equal everything they originally possessed!"

Ying Zheng was stunned and then nodded.

Although Su Xuan's words were too colloquial and somewhat unpleasant to hear, the logic was indeed the logic.

Su Xuan said to Ying Zheng again: "Therefore, Your Majesty must try to live longer!"

"As long as Your Majesty is still alive, these petty people will eventually only dare to hide in the dark."

"Like the Xiang clan today, those who dare to make a desperate struggle are ultimately only a minority!"

"Yes, that is the logic!" Because of Su Xuan's words, Ying Zheng suddenly became heroic, and a sense of pride arose in his heart. "For the sake of the Great Qin Empire, for the sake of seeing a broader world, and for the sake of not giving these rebels any opportunity, I will live forever!"

"As long as I am alive, I will be their eternal nightmare!"

……

The matter of the assassination of Qin at Bolangsha finally came to an end with the execution of all the main culprits and accomplices.

In the original history, Xiang Yu would become a generation of overlords and one of the culprits for the destruction of the Qin Guo, and even in the original anime, he was one of the protagonists.

But that was the original history and the events in the original work.

In this world, he was killed directly before he could grow up.

His existence was like a stone falling into the vast sea, never stirring up any waves from beginning to end.

Because of the assassination of Qin at Bolangsha, the eastern tour team was forced to stay in the palace for a few more days, and then continued forward, heading toward the east.

On the way, Ying Zheng still maintained his previous style, not telling everyone his route directly. Often, after arriving at a place and staying for a period of time, everyone would know where the next destination was.

During this period, they did not encounter any assassination attempts by the Xiang clan, but they still encountered many things.

For example, Ying Zheng witnessed the current situation of the Six States of Shandong, executed some corrupt officials, and understood the situation of the world more clearly.

It was also because of these things that the speed of the eastern tour team was not fast.

But Ying Zheng did not forget the main purpose of the eastern tour. To be precise, the eastern tour was actually just a secondary matter.

The main purpose this time was to go to Mount Taishan for the Fengshan sacrifice.

It is worth mentioning that after the eastern tour had been going on for so long, many Confucian scholars followed Ying Zheng, but they still had not finished discussing the etiquette of the Fengshan sacrifice.

Seeing that the eastern tour team had already arrived in the land of Qi and Lu and was about to enter Qi Commandery, and was about to go to the destination of the Fengshan sacrifice, Mount Taishan.

They still had not discussed anything.

Ying Zheng could not help but be a little annoyed.

He immediately summoned the Confucian Sect Master Fu Nian and gave Fu Nian a death order, requiring the other party to complete the formulation of the etiquette before arriving at Mount Taishan.

Regarding this matter, although Fu Nian agreed, he was also very helpless.

There was no way; although he was the Confucian Sect Master, there were many old people in the Confucian school with high seniority. These people were extremely stubborn and unwilling to listen to him, the Sect Master. He had also expressed his views on the etiquette of the Fengshan sacrifice, but as soon as he said it, it was directly rejected by these people.

Seeming to notice Fu Nian's frustration, Su Xuan, the Grand Master, comforted him.

"Sect Master Fu Nian does not need to worry. When the car reaches the mountain, there will be a road; when the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally be straight. There will be a solution."

That day in front of Ying Zheng, Su Xuan also said similar words, and now he said it again in front of Fu Nian.

Fu Nian did not understand at first, but soon understood.

On this day, an old man riding a carriage arrived in the eastern tour team.

He was... Xun Zi! ===== CHAPTER 970 =====
