Chapter 402: Investigation

The book burning incident caused a stir in Xianyang City, and Yingzheng originally wanted to use this to establish his authority and warn the scholars of the world and the descendants of the Six Kingdoms, but it turned out to be the first battle of the descendants of the Six Kingdoms against the rule of the Qin State, although the result ended with the escape of the descendants of the Six Kingdoms, but this time it also gave the people of the world a fact: that is, the Qin army was not invincible.

In the Xianyang Palace, the main hall was full of ministers of the Qin State, and everyone stood in their own positions with their heads bowed, waiting for Yingzheng to be reprimanded by Yingzheng who was sitting on the throne. Such an incident happened at the gate of Xianyang City, which can be said to be a resounding slap in the face to some high-ranking ministers of the Qin State, so that these people finally faced up to some uneasy factors in the Qin State.

"What, what do you Aiqing think about what happened in the book burning place in the south of the city this morning?" Ying Zheng sat on his throne and looked down at everyone in the hall, all he saw was the crowns of the court.

None of the underground people dared to speak out about His Majesty's rebuke of the emperor, only Meng Tian and Zhou Zhe stood together, raising their heads and closing their eyes, indifferent to the embarrassing atmosphere in the hall.

Ying Zheng glanced around everyone, didn't find Li Si's figure, and asked, "Prime minister, why didn't I see the prime minister?"

Zhao Gao hurriedly leaned over and reported to Ying Zhengzuo: "Your Majesty, this morning, General Li Youli, the beloved son of the Prime Minister, fought against the rebels who came to rebel at the book burning meeting, and was seriously wounded. ”

Ying Zheng naturally didn't know what to say, so he had to say: "I see, the prime minister's father and son are worthy of being the loyal and brave people of my Great Qin, come here, I will give Li You a hundred gold and 100 silver ingots, and ten Shu silk horses, and then send the imperial doctor to the prime minister's mansion with the reward to treat Li You." ”

Meng Tian opened his eyes and thanked Ying Zheng and said, "Minister Meng Tian rewarded Li Youxie Your Majesty." "Li You is Meng Tian's disciple, and everyone in the court of the Qin State knows it, and it is natural for him to come forward to thank Li You.

Ying Zheng saw that Meng Tian finally spoke, so he asked him: "Meng Qing also went to the south gate this morning, I don't know what you think about what happened today?"

Meng Tian replied angrily: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that today's matter should not be underestimated. ”

"Oh, why?" Ying Zheng then asked.

Meng Tian bowed to Ying Zheng, then straightened up and said: "Since I have been the ruler of the world by Great Qin and the pacification of the six kingdoms of Shandong, the four seas have surrendered, and all the people have returned to their hearts. However, every time there are descendants of the Six Kingdoms who are secretly making trouble, disturbing the stability of the people of our Great Qin, there is chaos in the land of Baiyue in Nanjun, and then there is the assassination of His Majesty Bolangsha, and then the rebels in Dongjun are in turmoil, and the stone of Mars confuses all beings, all of which shows that there are still not a few people in my Qin country who have hatred for my Great Qin, but these people are thieves, and if they are people, they can't find their traces at all, so I think that at present, I still have to step up the military armament of the counties and counties in my Great Qin, and still apply a gentle policy to the ordinary people, as long as the people are stable, these people will not be able to make any waves。 ”

After Meng Tian finished speaking, some generals nodded yes, and some ministers, including Meng Yi, also agreed.

After Ying Zheng listened to Meng Tian's words, he basically agreed with Meng Tian's opinion, but he never liked to be too merciful to his enemies. What happened in the south gate today and Meng Tian's words illustrate a truth, these people are usually no different from ordinary people, but once they want to start an incident, they will immediately become traitors, and it is very difficult to arrest these people.

"I think what Meng Qing said is good, but as Aiqing said, these rebels are usually ordinary people, and even when they are in turmoil, they are covered with black cloth, and they can't identify the true identities of these people at all. Besides, what Aiqing said was to be gentle with these people, how could Aiqing be sure that these people would definitely take over my kindness to them and not make a rebellion?"

"Ah, this ......" Faced with Ying Zheng's rhetorical question, Meng Tian didn't pay attention.

At this time, Wei Yu stood up and said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Your Majesty and the general said are reasonable, for these remnants of the Six Kingdoms who dare to commit crimes, Huai Rou's strategy may only show His Majesty's cowardice towards them and fuel their arrogance. And if you want to prevent these people from making trouble again, there is no way to find them completely, because the minister thinks that the gentle policy is only for ordinary people, and as long as the descendants of these six countries find them, they will definitely not be merciful, and it is the best way to completely eliminate them. ”

Hearing this, Meng Tian glanced at Wei Mi, who was standing opposite him, he didn't expect to be able to hear such words from Wei Mi's mouth. Of course, Meng Tian also didn't want to be merciful to the descendants of the Six Kingdoms who were making trouble, but it was too difficult to catch them, and if he really wanted to find these people in the world, I am afraid it would be another bloodbath.

"Yes, in troubled times, we should use heavy canons, now the Qin State is no longer a prince in a corner, but the only one in the world, I think I am the remnant of the Great Qin Fen VI, so that I have today's glory, I will not let the foundation of my ancestors be lost in my hands. The edict of the Chuan Dynasty will immediately arrest the descendants of the six countries throughout the country, and anyone who does not report what he knows will be punished for the crime of joint sitting. And those who dare to expose these people must be rewarded, and I don't believe that I can't find these people. Ying Zheng slapped the golden silk nanmu table in front of him fiercely and said loudly.

"No!"

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhao Gao helped Ying Zheng back to the palace harem, and on the way Ying Zheng asked Zhao Gao: "Zhao Gao, how are the things I told you to do?"

When Zhao Gao heard this, he knelt on the ground and said to Yingzheng: "Your Majesty, the villain is guilty." ”

"Guilty, what are you guilty of?" Ying Zheng stopped and looked at Zhao Gao, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked.

Zhao Gao knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head, "Your Majesty instructed the villain to find Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng, two liars, and the villain instructed the people below to go all out to find them, but there was never a whereabouts of these two people." These two people deceived Your Majesty, and the villain didn't notice it for a while, so please punish Your Majesty. ”

Ying Zheng coughed, he raised his hand to let Zhao Gao get up, and then said: "What are I doing to cure your sins, I don't have the maintenance of the pill now, I feel that my energy is not as good as before, and I often feel weak when reviewing the recital in the past few days." Now that Xu Fu has gone to sea to search for the elixir of immortality for me, I am afraid that my physical condition will not last until Xu Fu returns, so I order you to find those two people for me and bring them back to refine the elixir for me. Tell them that as long as they come back, I will not blame them for the past, otherwise ......"

"The villain understands. Zhao Gao stood up and lowered his head and said to Ying Zheng.

"Let's go, go back to the palace, go to the imperial doctor, and prescribe a few pills for me to regulate my body. ”

"No. ”

In the original capital of Wei State, in Daliang City, one is located in a slightly remote courtyard in the west of the city. The yard is in disrepair, and most of the houses inside are dilapidated, making it unsuitable for people to live here. But at this time, there were many more people in the courtyard, gathering together to discuss things.

"Big brother, now the Qin soldiers in Daliang City have not only started to search for books, but have begun to arrest people, it seems that a few days ago Mr. Zhang Liang sent a message saying that something big would happen in the next few days, and sure enough, one of my brothers was arrested by Qin soldiers at home the day before yesterday. A rugged bald man said to a bearded man beside him, and after finishing speaking, he spat at the ground fiercely and scolded the damn Qin soldier.

The person who was called the eldest brother by the rough man looked at the many brothers around him, and said to everyone: "Yes, a few days ago, someone disrupted the tyrant Yingzheng's book-burning meeting at the south gate of Xianyang City, and killed a lot of Qin soldiers in the patrol battalion, and also snatched a lot of books. By the way, Fifth Five, does that brother of yours know a lot about you? Will he confess you?"

Lao Wu shook his head and said to his eldest brother: "That brother was originally the son of a minister of my Wei State, originally I wanted to bring him over, but a few days ago he just had an idea and said that he wanted to discuss it with his family, but he went in the next day." But don't worry, big brother, that kid doesn't know where I live, he just knows my name. ”

The eldest brother nodded to the fifth child and said: "Then I can rest assured, this time is a little dangerous, let's not go out for activities first, hide it all, don't be found by the Qin soldiers." If any brother is caught, I think you should know what to do. ”

"I'd rather die than betray my own people!" said everyone in the courtyard.

"It's a good sentence that I'd rather die than betray my own people, but it's a pity that we already know about you, all here today, a lot, saving me a lot of effort!" a voice sounded outside the courtyard.

Almost at the same time, everyone in the courtyard took up their weapons and looked around the courtyard vigilantly. After the voice died down, a number of black-clad men in tight armor suddenly appeared on the walls around the courtyard, each holding a long knife in their hands.

"Who are you?" the eldest brother asked, standing in front of his many brothers, towards the man in black.

With a bang, the gate of the courtyard was opened, and a tall man in black armor walked in, and unlike those who appeared around, the man who walked in through the gate was holding a sword in his hand.

"Who are you?"

The man in black looked at the people in the courtyard, he grinned, this time it was finally effortless to wipe out all the remnants of the Six Kingdoms in Daliang City.

"Great Qin Meng's army, Tu Qin!" a name came out of the man's mouth, causing the faces of everyone in the courtyard who heard this name to change drastically.
