Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 162 One Master and One Servant

The sky is high and the clouds are light.Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is August and September. An unexpected autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves and blows across the river north and south. The sky and the earth are green and yellow.
The harvest season is over, and the land of Central Plains has suddenly become more relaxed from the original busyness.

……

When Hu Hai, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, was in Jingyang to help the disaster and rescue the people, and when he used a series of shocking long-term strategies, conflicts were breeding in the distant land of the Central Plains.

The kings of the peaceful world at present, the kingdoms of Shandong, seem to have gone through a unified discussion, and the thunder before the storm is brewing.

Everyone knows that once someone explodes and makes trouble.It is bound to break the temporarily maintained balance, and the land of the Central Plains will suddenly be armed with swords and soldiers, sweeping mountains and rivers.

Calm is slowly retreating, and war is approaching rapidly like an endless arrow.

This is the place where the big river system radiates. The Zhangshui flows into the big river through Guanjin.

The Xichi River passes through Wusui, crosses Julu County and enters the sea in the east.The three counties of Wusui, Nanpi, and Guanjin were the fiefs granted to Chen Yu by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu.

Taking the county as the people, it is called Nanhou.Chen Yu, a former chivalrous man, experienced ups and downs in the turbulent Central Plains, and finally became a county magistrate.

The majestic mountains rose from the ground hundreds of miles away in Nanpi County, forming the first peak and valley, which was called Nanshan at that time.

The world's currents are separated from this Nanshan Mountain. Most of the rivers in the north flow into the Yellow River, and most of the rivers in the south flow into the Yangtze River.

This Nanshan becomes the watershed between the big river basin and the river basin.What is moving is that there are all kinds of blasphemy, most of which revolve around Nanpi County.

In this era, the blasphemy and eight streams are divine waters, and other rivers cannot be compared with them.

At that time, people called the four big rivers that flowed into the sea independently Sidu, which means He, Jiang, Huai, and Ji.The main branch of Sidu is called Baliu, which are Weishui, Luoshui, Hanshui, Mianshui, Yingshui, Rushui, Sishui and Yishui.

The four duns and eight streams all originate from famous mountains, the river flows out of Kunlun, the river flows out of Minshan Mountain, the economy flows out of Wangwu, and the Huaihe River flows out of Tongbai.Although Yishui is small, it originates from the sacred Mount Tai.

If the mountain is not high, it will be famous if there are immortals; if the water is not deep, it will be spirited if there are dragons.In the era when good face and reputation are more important than everything, not all landscapes are eligible to be selected as famous rivers and mountains.

On the land of the Central Plains, the arrogance of the Central Plains people is born in their bones.Therefore, the Central Plains called the foreigners around them barbarians, and proclaimed themselves the Kingdom of Heaven.

Several big rivers in the south of the Lingnan cannot enter the famous water because they are in the wild mountains.The Central Plains' contempt for barbarians can be said to be extremely unified inside and outside.

If you associate with barbarians, you will definitely make the world humble!

……

There is a saying that mountains are the source of life of water, mountains and rivers are connected, mountains generate water, and water nourishes all things.The vast and vast mountains are the pillars of heaven and earth, and the masculine roots of all life.

Backed by mountains and rivers, it will be able to store wind and gather energy.Fengshui metaphysics is prevalent in the Central Plains.Wherever famous mountains and great rivers are interdependent, the aura of heaven and earth must be born, and superhuman beings will be born.

The big river passes through Nanpi, and the Jishui surrounds it.Among the four duns and eight streams, two duns surrounded Nanpi.It can be seen that the land of Nanpi has outstanding people.

However, Nanpi's master was not happy.It has been half a year since the enfeoffment of the world ended, and Chen Yu is not at all satisfied with his vested interests.

There is a saying that there is no harm if there is no comparison. At the beginning, he and Zhang Er were in perfect harmony.In the turbulent times, it is like a bright meteor passing by, and it is in the limelight for a while.

But time has passed, and the brother who cared for each other in the past has already become the lord of a country and one of the kings of the world, but he only has the land of three counties.

Because of this, Chen Yu was very dissatisfied.He believes that his contribution to destroying Qin is not small, nor inferior to Zhang Er, the king of Changshan.

One is the king and the other is the queen, the gap between the two is too great.Zhang Er is the lord of Changshan Kingdom, but he is just a county magistrate under Changshan Kingdom.

Brothers who once supported each other with all sincerity, and supported each other through life and death.But because of Xiang Yu's words, one is the master and the other is the servant.Chen Yuxin is arrogant, he is not a person who lives in Nanpi three counties and takes care of himself.

For more than half a year, his resentment towards Xiang Yu and his dissatisfaction with Zhang Er had reached an extreme.Inner distortions, jealousy and unwillingness ravaged people's hearts.

At this time, Chen Yu was no longer the knight-errant and righteous man he used to be.Now he is just a devil controlled by desire.

In his opinion, Zhang Er and his contributions are equal, Zhang Er is the king, and only he is the marquis, which is unfair to Xiang Yu.

It was precisely because of this spark of jealousy that Chen Yu's knowledge and vision were wiped out.At this moment, there is only one thought in his mind, and that is to become king between heaven and earth.

Born as a man, Chen Yu has always been extremely active since Chen She raised the rebellion.He also made great contributions to the revival of Zhao's kingship.

……

Nanhou Mansion is the largest mansion in Nanpi County.Since he became a Marquis, Chen Yu started to build it with great efforts to form such a scale.

Compared with Xianyang Palace and Pengcheng Palace, this mansion is indeed smaller, but in actual scale, it is comparable to a prince's palace.

This mansion is located in the middle of Nanpi County, with stone walls rising on each side and wooden palaces rising from the ground.It can be said to be resplendent and resplendent, like no other in Nanpi.

Especially in this era of complex and cumbersome rituals, all buildings have a specific scale.

Emperors are respected by nine, and honored by eight.However, the Hou Mansion in Nanpi County is dominated by nine.Whether it is the main hall or the side hall, there are nine entrances.

This unique structure and number all reflected Chen Yu's dissatisfaction.Nine is the extreme number, and only noble people can use it.

There are nine Hou mansions, all revealing Chen Yu's desire to be king.

……

In the hall of the Hou Mansion, Chen Yu's confidantes Qin Buhuo, Xiang Sanqian, Chen Yeze, Xia Shuo and others who had already arrived looked at their noses and mouths for a moment, silent.

The government affairs of the three counties of Nanpi are presided over by these four people plus Chen Yu, and they have already formed a tacit understanding with each other.

Xiang Sanqian bowed deeply to Chen Yu, and said, "Nanhou, Qidi seems to be calm on the surface, but actually it is raging like a storm."

"Tian Rong holds a heavy army, and has always had an enmity with King Xiang. This time, King Xiang divided Qi and set up three kings, but there was no Tian Rong." Xiang Sanqian sneered: "I think Qi has been quiet for a long time. The brewing of each other has been completed."

"If there is no accident, Tian Rong will definitely attack Tian An and Tian Du—!"

At the same time, Xia Shuo also stood up and bowed solemnly to Chen Yu: "Since King Chen raised the rebellion, Nan Hou has been running around to punish the tyrant Qin."

"His merit is not inferior to the king of Changshan. His ability is not inferior to that of the king of Liaodong. The three counties south of King Xiang were named Nanhou, but he was out of proportion."

"Now Qi general Tian Rong is dissatisfied. Once the time is right, he will definitely turn against Chu and stand on his own."
