Because of the surrender of the King of Qi, the war against the State of Qi was greatly shortened. After Meng Tian settled in Linzi City, he immediately reported the good news of Yingzheng.

For Ying Zheng, it means that this world is finally his alone, and no one else can sit on an equal footing with him, and he is the supreme existence above the territory of Great Qin.

After learning of the surrender of the King of Qi, Ying Zheng wanted Meng Tian to return, and he was going to hold a grand ceremony in Xianyang City to celebrate his exploits. Just as Wang Jian was about to lead the army back to Xianyang City, Ying Zheng asked Wang Ben to lead the army to Qi after receiving the report, and took over all the cities of Qi to replace Meng Tian, so that Meng Tian could rush back as soon as possible.

Meng Tian sat in Linzi City, and Qi Wangjian had been sent to Gongcheng by him, and the ministers of Qi State were all given preferential treatment except for Xiangguo Housheng.

Hou Sheng waited at home for a few days, and there was no news about him from the outside world, but the ministers who had been behind his ass received Meng Tian's appointment one by one to take up official positions in the cities of Qi State, but there was no him.

Hou Sheng couldn't wait at home, he wanted to go out to find Meng Tian, wanting to know what kind of high-ranking official Houlu King Qin had given him, so that he would have waited so long.

Meng Tian was taking stock of the rare treasures in the treasury of Qi State, and suddenly a subordinate came down to report, saying that he was the one who wanted to see him. Meng Tian's face was a little strange, he hadn't gone to look for him yet, but he sent it to the door by himself. Originally, he wanted to keep him for a few more days, and when he left, he would tell the king of Housheng Qin how to settle him, since he came today, it would be good to say it clearly today, and the province would have a lot of long nights.

"Go and invite Gokatsu-sama here. ”

The soldiers went out and brought Hou Sheng in, but Meng Tian pretended to continue to look at the account books of the treasures, and did not see Hou Sheng's arrival.

"Hou Sheng greeted General Meng. Hou Sheng was the Xiangguo of Qi State, but he still behaved very humbly in front of Meng Tian, kneeling in front of Meng Tian and saying.

Meng Tian pretended to be a little surprised, he put down the bamboo slip in his hand, helped Hou Sheng up from the ground, and said enthusiastically: "Why did Lord Hou Sheng give such a big gift to Ben Jiang? Ben Jiang couldn't afford it." ”

Hou Sheng was helped up by Meng Tian, still bowing his head and saying, "No, General." In front of the general, Hou Sheng is just a subordinate. ”

Meng Tian smiled when he heard Hou Sheng's words, and then asked, "What is the reason why Lord Hou Sheng came to General Ben today?"

Hearing Meng Tian ask, Hou Sheng was a little nervous, he said with a smile: "That, the villain is here to ask the general, whether His Royal Highness the King of Qin has arranged an official and a half position for the villain, the villain has been waiting at home for many days, and seeing that the colleagues around him have gone to his own jurisdiction one by one, so he ......"

"So, my lord came to ask me about my whereabouts, right? “

"What General Meng said is very true, and asked General Meng to say a few kind words for the villain in front of King Qin, and the villain will be grateful to the general. ”

King Yingzheng of Qin did have a special will to Meng Tian on the issue of the resettlement of the ministers of the Qi State. All the ministers of Qi who surrendered were placed by Meng Tian Haosheng, and then let them go to the cities of Qin to serve as officials. There is only one person who Yingzheng specially issued a message to deal with alone, and that is Hou Sheng.

Although Hou Sheng had a close relationship with Qin's envoys stationed in Linzi of Qi, at that time, it was because Qin was going to conquer the world and he needed an ally. Now that the general trend of Qi has gone, Hou Sheng has become worthless in the eyes of King Yingzheng of Qin. Moreover, Yingzheng also issued an order to Meng Tian, asking him to behead Hou Sheng in front of the people of Linzi City.

Ying Zheng's move is also of great significance, Hou Sheng has always been a corrupt official under Qi Wangjian, and the people of Linzi City hate him one by one, plus this time he took the lead in proposing to surrender to the Qin State, and he was also the first Qi minister to go out of the city gate to bow to the Qin people. Just ask, how dare Yingzheng use such a villain?

Meng Tian looked at Hou Sheng, and Hou Sheng bowed his head in front of Meng Tian, looking like he was a person below. However, his dress is extremely good, with a hosta on his head, a silk hairpin, and a piece of jade around his waist, if people who don't know him still think that this person is a humble gentleman. Jin Yong Chinese

"Well, how do you say it? Lord Housheng is the hero of my Mengjia army being able to capture Linzi City so quickly this time, your credit is indeed not small, my king has been thinking about how to settle adults for a long time, I don't know how to give adults a placement method? After thinking for a long time, I came up with a solution. Meng Tian said to Hou Sheng.

The King of Qin already had the will to reward himself, which made Hou Sheng, who had been waiting for a long time, a little overjoyed. But in front of Meng Tian, he still had to restrain his excited heart and trembling hands.

"Dare to ask the general, how did the king settle the villain?"

Meng Tian sold a pass, and he said: "Lord Housheng will sit here for a while, and General Ben will go and get something, and then come and tell your lordship." ”

Meng Tian left, leaving Hou Sheng in the treasury of Qin. Hou Sheng watched as Qin Jun carried the treasures treasured by King Qi out of the room, and then someone registered them, and finally loaded them into a carriage and sent the treasures to Xianyang City.

"I didn't expect that there were so many treasures in the treasury, why didn't I think of this one in the first place. The jewel in the brocade box, the largest one treasured in my house, alas, and the pearl of the night that I don't even have in my house, ah, are some priceless treasures. "One treasure after another passed in front of Hou Sheng's eyes, and Hou Sheng's greedy Hou Sheng almost drooled down.

Meng Tian went and came back quickly, and when Hou Sheng saw him, Meng Tian had a roll of bamboo slips in his hand. Hou Sheng thought to himself, maybe that was the will that King Yingzheng of Qin promulgated to himself.

Hou Sheng stepped forward, and he said, "General Meng is so fast." ”

"It's not that I'm afraid that Lord Hou Sheng will wait here for a long time, so General Ben rode a horse to get it, of course it was very fast. ”

After Meng Tian finished speaking, his face suddenly changed, he put away his smile, and his face became solemn. "King Qin's edict, Hou Sheng listened to the announcement. ”

Hou Sheng lifted the hem of his skirt, knelt on the ground and said, "Qi Chen Hou Sheng, listen to the edict of King Qin." ”

"The widow heard that Qi Wangjian was mediocre and incompetent, favored traitorous ministers, lustful and misled state affairs. After the Qi people win, they serve the king but are not loyal to the king, privately pull the henchmen, corrupt the dynasty, and are called Qi Xiang, but they are actually Qi thieves. Although there is a merit in surrendering the city, but the widow can not use this person, and now he orders the general of Qin State Meng Tian to behead him in front of the people. ”

Meng Tian opened the bamboo slip, and after reading the above content, Hou Sheng was already sitting on the ground. He never thought that he would be such a result, when the envoys of the Qin State encircled him, he said that as long as he could persuade the King of Qi not to attack Qin with the Five Kingdoms, in the future, the King of Qin would win the world and win the world, and his benefits would inevitably be indispensable. Now that Yingzheng has won the world, but he wants to behead himself to show the public, isn't this crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, a villain's act?

Meng Tian looked at Hou Sheng, and he said, "Hou Sheng, are you still satisfied with your placement by my king?"

Meng Tian's words woke up Hou Sheng, he knelt on the ground and crawled in front of Meng Tian, grabbed Meng Tian's dress with his hand, and said: "General Meng, the villain is loyal to the King of Qin, it was the envoy of the King of Qin who told the villain that as long as the villain is dedicated to the King of Qin, when the King of Qin becomes the lord of the world, there will inevitably be the benefits of the villain. ”

Meng Tian's eyes were full of disdain when he looked at Hou Sheng, such a treacherous villain even complained that King Qin Yingzheng was coming at this time, who could blame him? It wasn't that he coveted wealth and wealth, betrayed the country for glory, and bewitched King Qi, which led to the disaster of death.

Meng Tian ignored Hou Sheng's pleading, waved back, and immediately two soldiers of the Meng family army came in, lifted Hou Sheng one shoulder at a time, and dragged him out of the treasury.

The news that Hou Sheng was going to be beheaded spread all over Linzi City not long after, and the people in the city gathered at the execution ground where Hou Sheng was beheaded to watch the execution.

As soon as the hour came, the executioner verified his identity, put Hou Sheng's head on the beheading table, and went down with a knife, the head fell to the ground, and the people of Qi around him were all applauding. People kept scolding such traitors who sought glory, and even some people were thanking King Yingzheng of Qin, who was thousands of miles away, for doing a good deed for the people of Linzi.
