Everyone knows that when Xiang Yu entered Xianyang, he burned down Epang Palace with a torch, and the fire did not go out for three months.
But I know that archaeological shovels two thousand years from now will prove that-
Afang Palace was never built, and the Overlord never burned the palace.
Traveling through the Qin Dynasty for thirty-five years, I became a hard laborer on a construction site.
Full of civil engineering knowledge, one pair of hands, one life.
He improved the earth and was promoted by the First Emperor to take charge of a hundred thousand people and supervise the construction of the first palace in the world.
But I discovered that there is a bigger secret hidden behind this palace:
Under the foundation, buried are the classics of Xia, Shang and Zhou, the original canons of various scholars, and the history books of the Six Kingdoms——
There is also the Yuzhou tripod that the First Emperor secretly salvaged from Si River.
It is not gold and silver, it is the root of Chinese civilization.
Zhao Gao sent people to burn granaries, block grain roads, and bury hidden nails on the construction site.
The remnants of the Six Kingdoms hope that it will be unfinished so that Great Qin will be disgraced.
Li Si said: What you built is not a palace, but the last fig leaf of the Qin Dynasty.
But I know—the First Emperor himself knows—
This palace was the last straw among the three major projects of the Qin Dynasty.
The Great Wall cannot crush it, and Lishan Mountain cannot crush it.
It was this palace that finally crushed the empire.
And I am the one who was ordered to repair it.
No matter who stops it, it must be completed.
——"Straw of Empire"
A new perspective, worth reading.
