Chapter 83 Overlord Xiang Yu, not taking the ordinary path
“Xiang Ji, the Xiang family!”
“Bang!”
The chamberlains and maids in the palace were frightened. With a shudder, the First Emperor dropped his bowl of wild rice onto the table in front of him.
A servant was about to step forward to clean up the matter, but heard the First Emperor say: "Don't come over!"
He picked up the inverted bowl again and used chopsticks to sweep the wild rice on the table into the bowl: "What a Xiang Ji, what a Xiang clan!"
The anger in the heart of the First Emperor could not be calmed down. Although he is a king, he is also a human being. How can he not be angry when he suddenly hears that his descendants have been slaughtered?
But what can I say, karma and retribution, the cycle is unhappy.
The First Emperor's treatment of the clans of the Six Kingdoms was not much better in history. Three of the kings of the Six Kingdoms were missing and three were killed. Among them, King Jian of Qi starved to death.
It is pity that the people of Xianyang suffered.
The First Emperor quickly calmed down and said, "Is Xiang Ji that Xiang Yu?"
When he first saw the name Xiang Ji, Li Nian thought he was Xiang Yu's elder like Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo. Unexpectedly, after an investigation, I found out that Xiang Ji was Xiang Yu.
Li Niandao: "Xiang Yu, surnamed Ji, Xiang family, given name, courtesy name Yu, is from Xiaxiang County, Sishui County, and the grandson of Chu general Xiang Yan."
"The grandson of Xiang Yan? "
There was a chill in Ying Zheng's eyes. He knew who Xiang Yan was. He was the general of the Chu State, the defeated general who was killed by Wang Jian. He did not expect that this man's grandson would become the mourner of the Qin Dynasty.
"Xiang Yu is a very brave man with strange double eyes. He is known as an overlord and can compete with the strongest generals in Chinese history."
"Perhaps because of his extraordinary personal bravery and good background, Xiang Yu has a quite character. Flawed, he is very different from Pei Gong, almost completely opposite in many aspects.”
The sentence “very different from Pei Gong, almost completely opposite in many aspects” gave Ying Zheng a rough idea of who Xiang Yu is. people.
Li Nian didn't have much favorable impressions of Xiang Yu, the overlord, but he would not deliberately discredit him: "When Xiang Yu first rose up, he was twenty-four years old. His third father was Xiang Liang, and his eldest father was Xiang Yan."
The First Emperor frowned and asked: "When did Xiang Yu first rise?"
Li Nian replied: "The historical record is the first year of Qin II, which is the year after the death of the king."
He only died a year, and Xiang Yu rebelled. There was definitely a rebellion in advance. The idea was just waiting for an opportunity, and that opportunity was the rebellion of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang that Li Nian had mentioned.
The First Emperor calculated in his mind that if he goes by what Li Nian said, wouldn't Xiang Yu be only about ten years old at this time and still a child?
Li Nian continued: "When Xiang Yu was young, he failed to learn calligraphy, so he went away; he also failed to learn swordsmanship. Xiang Liang was angry. Xiang Yu said: 'Books are enough to remember names and surnames. Swordsmanship can be used against one person, but it is not enough to learn, so learn. "There are ten thousand enemies." So Xiang Liang taught Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu was overjoyed about the art of war, but he knew a little about it, but refused to learn it. "
While eating, the First Emperor commented expressionlessly: "With such no persistence and perseverance, even if you succeed for a while, you will eventually succeed. Defeated.”
Li Niandao: "What the king said is true. In history, both Xiang Yu and Pei Gong have actually met the king, but their behavior was completely different."
Have they ever met the widow?
This aroused the First Emperor's strong interest!
He originally thought that Pei Gong and Xiang Yu rebelled after his death. He should have never met them, and they should have never met him.
“How is it different?”
Li Niandao said: "Pei Gong met the king. He came to Xianyang to participate in the corvee. Seeing the king's imperial power, he sighed and said: 'Oh, this is what a man should do!'"
There is no big problem with this sentence, even It can be regarded as praising the First Emperor. Of course, if you have to pick out the words, there is definitely a problem: What do you mean by this, do you also want to be a "real man"?
The First Emperor was quite pleased to hear that Pei Gong was the emperor who founded the Han Dynasty, and his ambition to be an emperor originated from him.
Isn’t this a different kind of praise for him?
But then, he felt that awkward feeling in his heart again...
The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, the dragon robes were copied from the Qin Dynasty, and the laws were copied from the Qin Dynasty. Even the founder of the country was inspired by the imperial spirit because of him. Heart.
The sense of déjà vu came to the heart of the First Emperor again, and became even stronger.
Now he really wanted to pick up the neck of Pei Gong, who had become the emperor of Han, and ask: Do you Han have anything of your own? Without Da Qin, there would be no you Han, right?
When I cut the big man into pieces, I found that there was no Han at all inside, and everything was stuffed with Qin!
Of course, this is just a joke. The Han Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty are still very different, but it does not prevent the First Emperor from having this awkward feeling at this time: You Han people are really trying to "inherit" the Qin Dynasty.
After talking about Pei Gong’s reaction when he saw the First Emperor, Li Nian then talked about Xiang Yu’s reaction when he saw the First Emperor.
"Xiang Yu met the king when he was traveling to Kuaiji and crossing Zhejiang. Xiang Yu and his father Xiang Liang came to watch. Seeing the majestic scene of the king's journey, Xiang Yu said: 'He can take his place.'"
Just because Pei Gong said, "Sigh, This is what a man should do!" The joy he felt suddenly disappeared, and the First Emperor slapped the table in front of him: "What an arrogant person!"
Xiang Yu's words were disrespectful to him, and combined with Liu Bang's words When compared together, they appear even more disrespectful.
Liu Bang expresses envy and desire, hoping that he can become the same emperor as the First Emperor, but Xiang Yu's "he can take his place" is different. It contains "I am better than that person" and "that person is just the same." That way, I can replace him."
There is a sense of disdain for the First Emperor, and at the same time a sense of pride: The First Emperor is just an old man, but I, Xiang Yu, can replace him.
This is the art of speaking. Although Pei Gong's words also want to be an emperor, they are euphemistic and can make people feel comfortable, while Xiang Yu's words make people feel uncomfortable.
Xiang Yu sometimes does things that seem to have been done without thinking, such as killing Han Wangcheng and forcing Zhang Liang to become his mortal enemy, such as cooking Wang Ling's mother and forcing Wang Ling to become his mortal enemy...
< br>Wang Ling was the third prime minister of the Han Dynasty. He was also an iron-blooded Peigong party and a filial son.
Since Wang Ling was working under Pei Gong, Xiang Yu "invited" Wang Ling's mother to surrender, but Wang Ling's mother refused and even drew her sword and committed suicide.
Wang Ling's mother is already dead. If there is really an emperor's plot, Xiang Yu's best arrangement at this time is to return the queen mother's body to Wang Ling intact, and also take the initiative to send an envoy to confess his sins to Wang Ling.
Although the hatred between Wang Ling and Wang Ling is still unavoidable, at least it will not be that big.
The second option is not to send the body back, but to bury it alive.
However, the Overlord is an Overlord. He is not a normal person and does not follow the ordinary path. He cooked the body of Wang Ling's mother.
He forced his mother to commit suicide and even cooked his mother. This hatred drew...
Wang Ling was the third prime minister of the Han Dynasty after Xiao He and Cao Shen, which shows his strong ability.
Xiang Yu formed a deadly feud with him. Even if he surrendered in Gaixia, he would still be killed. There were too many people in the Han Dynasty who had hatred against him.
Liu Taigong and Lu Pheasant were once detained by Xiang Yu, who even threatened to cook Liu Taigong. If Liu Bang and Liu Taigong didn’t hate them, how about Lu Pheasant?
