Chapter 96 Section 3 The Heavenly Sign Comes Again

Let's say that Meng Ao was buried, and the three armies were sad.Thinking back to the days of Meng Ao, riding on a golden armor, conquering the world, conquering the city in one battle, and conquering the country in another battle, he was ambitious in martial arts, looked down on him, hated the weakness of the six countries, and regarded Kyushu as insignificant.Now that he has passed away forever and passed away forever, he knows that his body is small and his possession is only a piece of ground.People return to dust, merit goes to earth.Be better than the world, never in the underworld.Lu Ji's "Essay on Hanging Wei Wudi" says: "Those who are already up and down are hidden in mere trees; those who are light on the four sides are hidden in the thin soil."

At the same time, the only Qin army that was fighting outside was also rushing back to Xianyang.This large army, led by Huan Jue, was attacking the three cities of Long, Gu, and Qingdu, and it was about to go down. When they suddenly heard the news of Meng Ao's death, they were summoned by Lu Buwei. Although they were unwilling, they had no choice but to retreat.On the way back to the army, he attacked Ji conveniently to vent his anger.As soon as the army entered Hangu Pass, the dust and smoke had not cleared, and the gate was closed immediately, and no news was communicated with the six countries.

Meng Ao's death had already been reported to the Six Kingdoms in detail.Today, Hangu Pass is closed, and the envoys of the six countries will not be received.The six countries are all suspicious and restless.Tigers don't eat people, and it's never a sudden kindness, either diarrhea or toothache.It is conceivable that the political arena of Qin State at this time must be cloudy and rainy.When Qin State was so nervous, the Six Kingdoms also became nervous. They were not in the mood to watch a show.Watching the fire from the other side requires not only eyesight, but also strength.

The state of Qin closed the country this time, and it seemed to be a closed meeting.Unless the meeting is finished and a result is not produced, those inside will not be able to leave, and those outside will not be able to enter. Regarding the candidate to succeed Meng Ao, Ying Zheng has not expressed his position.Li Si also couldn't guess what Ying Zheng was thinking, but felt that his increasingly gloomy, tranced expression reflected his hard thinking and fierce conflicts in his heart.In the following thirty years, Li Si had never seen Ying Zheng so nervous again.Even when Lai Ai raised his troops to rebel and wanted to take Yingzheng's life, Yingzheng could talk and laugh freely, and his expression changed a lot.

Li Si felt a little sorry for Ying Zheng.He was only twenty years old, and it was time to squander his youth, but he had to carry the heavy responsibility of the empire on his shoulders.The Yellow Emperor said: "Up and down, there will be hundreds of battles in one day."When Ying Zhengfang was weak, he had to compete with the treacherous veterans who were dozens of years older than him.Although it is said that youth does not fail, for Ying Zheng, politics is not sports, and competitions can be divided into levels according to age.Being young is not his excuse, he cannot fail and dare not fail.

Ying Zheng is obviously a silent king, but Lu Buwei and Lao Ai want to treat him as a silent lamb.The Wang Wan incident did not cause them enough vigilance.Lu Buwei and Lao Ai ignored Yingzheng and launched a new round of competition for the ownership of military power.A doctor's order can be given up, but military power must never be given up.Lu Buwei first recommended Meng Wu, and his second choice was Huanju.Lai Ai was the first to recommend Nei Shi Si, and Wei Wei was the candidate.When it comes to the level of combat as a general, it is natural that Meng Wu and Huan Yu are more worthy of the responsibility, but Lao Ai's logic is: whoever I say can do it will do it.Lao Ai thought that Neishi Si and Wei Weijie could do it, but Meng Wu and Huan Jue couldn't.And Lao Ai's logic is also the logic of the Queen Mother.Lu Buwei was in charge, and Lao Ai was in power, the two were in a stalemate, neither of them would give in.The military polished their knives and guns and waited and hesitated.

Li Si knew that Lu Buwei and Lao Ai were on fire, and they were fighting to the death for the military power that could not be given up in political life. Even if he could talk like a lot of flowers, he might not be able to convince the two of them.What puzzled Li Si was that Ying Zheng had no intention of asking him to be a lobbyist at all.Li Si couldn't help wondering: Could it be that Yingzheng already has the wisdom in his hands, or is Yingzheng pinning his hopes on the sky and waiting for a miracle to appear? Up and down the Qin State, the air is suffocating, and a crisis is imminent.And at such a delicate moment, even God couldn't help coming to make fun of it.

Comet, see comet again. This time the comet hung high in the western sky for sixteen days and nights before its light disappeared.For this abnormal celestial appearance, fortune tellers dare not speak clearly, and can only explain vaguely: I am afraid it is not an auspicious omen.Although the fortune teller didn't say it clearly, his meaning is already clear.Referring to Meng Ao's case, whose life will the comet take away this time?The comet this time is far bigger, brighter and longer lasting than Meng Ao's.Could it be that this person who is destined to die from a comet is actually more prominent and noble than Meng Ao?
