Chapter 49 The Three-Body Master Wants to Harvest the Hearts and Minds of the Qin Dynasty
The operation was not only launched against the kings and nobles of Han and Qin, but against the kings and nobles of all seven states in the Qin era.
Despite such a large-scale operation, no major disturbances occurred in the Qin Shi world. Anyone who tried to take advantage of the situation was hung up in the sky, resulting in unprecedentedly good public order in the Qin Shi world.
Thus, a very strange scene appeared in the Qin Dynasty world: the vast majority of kings, nobles, generals and officials were hung in the sky, the courts of various countries were at a standstill, but the lives of ordinary people were not affected much, and even improved a bit.
It can be said that the Trisolaran civilization forcibly suppressed the Qin Dynasty world with its superior military force.
If this isn't considered a flat push, then I don't know what is.
After controlling the nobles and royalty of the seven kingdoms, the Trisolaran civilization began the second step of the "Qin Time Plane Liberation Project," providing appropriate relief to the people of the Qin Time Plane.
They opened granaries to distribute grain and clothing, and provided medical checkups and treatments for the people of the Qin Dynasty era.
The Han Palace, originally the main hall where King An of Han summoned his ministers to discuss state affairs and handle government matters, has now been transformed into a temporary medical clinic for the Trisolaran civilization.
Outside the palace gates, many eunuchs were queuing up, each with an expectant look on their face.
Because the Trisolaran deity inside the main hall will restore them to normal men.
Excited and joyful voices frequently echoed from inside the hall: "It's grown! It really has grown! Thank you, God! Thank you, God!"
If we were to select the group in the Qin Dynasty world that is most grateful to the Trisolarans, the eunuchs of various countries would undoubtedly be at the top of the list.
After that thing was cut off, they longed to return to being normal men, but physical mutilation is easy, but recovery is difficult. The Trisolarans who could help them recover were the gods.
Han Fei stood not far away with his younger sister Honglian.
Looking at the excited eunuchs who came out of the palace, Han Fei sighed deeply.
Everything is over. The Trisolarans' methods were too ruthless.
By winning people's hearts in this way, the people of the world will inevitably side with the Trisolarans, and from then on, there will be no more Korean royal family.
A young eunuch who had just recovered from treatment was immersed in the joy of returning to normal man and did not notice that he had walked near Han Fei and Hong Lian.
"Little Gui, your... health has recovered?"
Upon hearing the familiar female voice, the young eunuch immediately bent over, a fake smile appearing on his face, a smile he had practiced since entering the palace.
But just as he bent halfway down, the young eunuch straightened his back again and looked at the girl who had spoken.
I bend over and force a smile, and the gods are watching from above. Even that old dog, King Han, has been hung up in the sky by the gods. Why should I be afraid of Princess Honglian?
A day earlier, he would never have dared to look directly at this noble young woman so boldly.
The princess is not a bad person and may not punish him, but if her father finds out, he might order his eyes to be gouged out, something that has happened before.
But things are different now. He no longer needs to be afraid, nor does he need to be as subservient as before.
The young eunuch's fake smile vanished, and he glanced coldly at Honglian and Han Fei: "So it's Princess Honglian and the Ninth Prince. Princess, what brings you here?"
Princess Honglian stared at the young eunuch in astonishment. She clearly remembered that Xiao Guizi was very kind and would greet her with a smile whenever they met. Therefore, she would occasionally go to find Xiao Guizi.
But what's with that indifference and disgust right now?
Is this still the same Xiao Gui Zi she knows, who always has a smile on her face and is friendly and kind?
The young eunuch ignored the stunned Honglian and continued, "By the way, I'm not called 'Little Guizi,' I have my own name, Wei Liang. I hope Your Highness won't call me by the wrong name next time."
The words "Your Highness" were deliberately emphasized, and even Honglian, who was not very worldly, could hear the coldness and aloofness in them.
Honglian lowered her head and said, "Little...Wei Liang, aren't we friends?"
The young eunuch calmly replied, "Friends? Your Highness, we have never been friends, not before, not now, and never will be."
After saying this, the young eunuch turned and left before Honglian could speak again.
Honglian raised her head, looking in the direction the young eunuch had left, her eyes brimming with tears. She asked Han Fei, puzzled, "Ninth Brother, how come... Wei Liang has changed so much?"
Hearing his sister's question, Han Fei sighed inwardly and said, "He hasn't changed; he just no longer needs to pretend."
Han Fei looked at Princess Honglian seriously: "Honglian, you must change your name and live with a new identity. Remember, you are not the daughter of the King of Han, nor are you Princess Honglian of Han."
Honglian asked Han Fei, puzzled, "Ninth Brother, why did I have to change my name? Why am I not Father's daughter?"
Han Fei did not explain, but looked up at the sky where many people were hanging. However, the eunuchs and palace maids in the royal palace were no longer afraid, and even commented on the people hanging there.
This would have been unimaginable just over a day ago.
How dare lowly palace maids and eunuchs criticize the emperor and his wife?
Drag him out, pull out his tongue, and execute him!
Now, not only do they dare to comment, but even a lowly eunuch dares to openly disregard the princess.
This is the purpose of the Trisolarans hanging up the nobles: to remove the noble and sacred image of the nobility from the hearts of the people.
Next, the Trisolarans will expose the atrocities committed by the nobles and royalty, ensuring they can never recover.
In the future, the nobility will become a wicked and filthy group, and even if they are not universally condemned, they will still suffer much indifference and disgust.
Seeing that Han Fei did not answer her, Honglian remained silent for a while before asking, "Ninth Brother, are Father and the others not coming back?"
Han Fei said, "It's not that Father and the others can't come back, but that an entire era can't come back. Honglian, no matter what happens, never resent the Trisolarans, and never seek revenge against them."
Ying Zheng in Xianyang Palace experienced the same fate as Han Fei and Hong Lian, the brother and sister.
In Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng sat on a set of steps, gazing at Zhangtai Palace in the distance, lost in thought.
Zhangtai Palace, a palace that began construction during the reign of King Huiwen, has been standing for almost a hundred years and has become the most important place in the Qin Dynasty.
If things go as he expects, he will be there, diligently writing and judging cases by day and studying books by night.
But now, the once important Zhangtai Palace has been turned into a temporary clinic for a group of eunuchs.
The Trisolarans did this intentionally, wanting to humiliate monarchical power. They wanted to trample the nobility and sanctity of the ruler into the mud, and to tell the common people of the world:
Look! The royal palace, which used to be accessible only to royalty and nobility, has now become a place for eunuchs to restore their manhood.
Ying Zheng clenched his fist, then relaxed it. He understood everything, but was powerless to change it.
Few people in the palace listened to him anymore; the royal guards had dispersed, and many palace maids and eunuchs had left.
Those still surrounding him now are not truly loyal; they just think that if he still has a chance to rule as king, they might gain great benefits in the future by currying favor with him now.
He seems to have become a "rare commodity" like the former king.
Thinking of the "rare commodity," Ying Zheng looked up at the sky, where the one who had regarded the former king as a "rare commodity" was now hanging.
"You haven't eaten or drunk anything all day, have some water."
Ying Zheng turned around, and a young man in white appeared in his sight.
The young man handed over a water bottle, which Ying Zheng took, opened, and gulped down several mouthfuls. Then, Ying Zheng asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"
The young man looked up at the sky and said, "I want to see an ending."
"Since the Spring and Autumn Period, countless people have been searching for ways to end the chaos and bring peace to the world, but none of them have broken out of the same circle."
Ying Zheng raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance as he asked, "What circle?"
The young man glanced at him and replied, "A circle called 'Royal Nobility.' We've always been used to the idea that the world is divided into kingdoms, each kingdom has a king, and below the king are nobles and officials. A little over a day ago, I thought so too."
"But is what has always existed, what we've always been used to, necessarily correct?"
"The appearance of the Trisolarans showed me another path; there is no longer a path for royalty and nobility in the world."
Ying Zheng said, "After just over a day, you've already doubted your thoughts of the past twenty years?"
The young man said, "A day is indeed a short time compared to twenty years, but that doesn't mean that ideas from twenty years ago are necessarily more correct than ideas from a day."
"I'm not sure if the Trisolarans' path is the right one, so I'll go and witness it for myself."
After these words, the young man fell silent, and Ying Zheng also fell silent. He knew that his chief swordsmanship instructor's heart had changed, and he could not keep him.
