Chapter 19: Autumn Hunting Ceremony (I)

"I've worked hard for you this time, go down and heal well. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "When Ye Wuji returned to the palace, he commanded the ink crow and the parrot song.

Only now did Ye Wuji know that every time he came back from the Western Suburbs Manor, Mo Crow and Parrot Song would follow him to protect him and arrive at Xianyang Palace safely.

Although Ye Wuji didn't care much about this aspect, but as his subordinates, Mo Ge and the Parrot Song couldn't help but care, I have to say that this time was the easiest time for the Parrot Song and the Mo Crow in their lives.

Although Night Wuji asked Parrot Song to do some things from time to time, they were all things to collect intelligence, and Mo Crow, Night Wuji seemed to have completely forgotten his existence, not only did not let Mo Crow protect him, but also did not assign Mo Crow to do anything, especially about assassination.

Therefore, Mo Crow's small life is not too comfortable, except for being tired of being around the parrot song all day long, that is, to make a cup of tea, go to talk to Langyu, and by the way, appreciate Langyu's piano skills.

In order to ensure that he will live so comfortably in the future, of course Mo Crow can't let Ye Wuji have an accident, plus there is a public reason to go on a date and go shopping with Parrot Song, because when Ye Wuji returns to Xianyang Palace, the rest of the time is at their disposal.

However, after this incident, Mo Crow's future life may not be so easy, at least there will be less time to date Parrot Song.

"Childe, Childe Fusu has arrived. "It hasn't been long since the attack on Ye Wuji was reported, and basically all the people in Xianyang City who are qualified to know about this matter have already known about it, look, Fusu has come to the door.

"Little brother is fine. As soon as Fusu came in, he pulled Ye Wuji and checked Ye Wuji with concern, and was relieved when he saw that Ye Wuji was completely fine.

Fusu didn't come empty-handed, he also brought a lot of gifts, most of which were medicinal herbs, cherished medicinal herbs.

"Next time, you can't be so careless, you go out without a guard. Fusu said with some reproach.

"Speaking of which, this is also the fact that the people below are careless in doing things, and they actually let the thieves sneak into the vicinity of Xianyang City, I must report to my father and rectify the below. ”

"The guards on your side are too weak, so why don't you transfer a few shadow guards from your father. ”

"No need. Ye Wuji hurriedly said that he didn't need it, he had guards, but he didn't expect that someone would attack Xianyang City before, so he didn't bring it with him, and then Ye Wuji diverted the topic.

Later, after Fusu left, the people who came to the door began to flow endlessly, and the second one came was Li Si's subordinates, Li Si did not come in person, but sent a lot of things over.

The same is true for the others, except for Fusu, who came to the door in person, they just sent a lot of gifts over, and even Hu Hai also sent a lot of things.

In addition, Yingzheng rewarded a lot of things over, and this time he was attacked, so that Ye Wuji made a small fortune.

"This incident is a lesson, the so-called gentleman does not stand under the wall, let the ink crow follow you in the future. "In the western suburbs of the manor, after Bai Qi listened to everything, he began to teach Ye Wuji.

Ye Wuji had no choice but to nod in agreement, and this assassination also reminded Ye Wuji that he must strengthen the defense work around him.

"Hundred steps flying sword. Sheng Qi, who was nailed to the mountain wall by a sword, stared closely at Gai Nie not far in front of him, under the order of Ying Zheng, Zhao Gao quickly told Gai Nie about Sheng Qi's whereabouts, and then Gai Nie rushed to fight with Sheng Qi, and finally used a hundred steps flying sword to penetrate Sheng Qi's shoulders and defeated Sheng Qi.

"Take it away. With Gai Nie's order, the shadow guards who were on guard around him immediately stepped forward and restrained Sheng Qi layer by layer with iron chains, and then one of the shadow guards pulled out the sword on Sheng Qi's shoulder and respectfully handed it to Gai Nie.

"The king ordered him to be pressed into the deepest part of death row and put him on strict guard. Gai Nie took the sword, sheathed it, and left, and then the shadow guard pressed Sheng Qi into the deepest part of Great Qin's death row.

Ying Zheng wanted to see if he could escape from Daqin's death row.

"Gainie. "At the time of Gai Nie's operation, the peasant disciples who were hiding in Xianyang City also got the news, and it was quickly passed on to the chivalrous Tian Guang, but by the time Tian Guang arrived, the battle was already over, and in the face of Gai Nie, Shengqi was not an opponent at all.

Tian Guang looked at Shengqi who was pressed away by the shadow guard, hesitated for a long time, and finally did not save Shengqi, although it was a pity to lose the master of Shengqi, but Changpingjun's plan was more important.

Tian Guang could only look at the shadow guard in front of him with hatred, as well as Gai Nie.

"Tell the king that it is already in the autumn harvest stage, but there are reports of locust plagues in various places, and I ask the king to order the killing of locusts. In the court after the autumn, Li Si was the first to open his mouth to report.

"Wait. As soon as Li Si finished speaking, before Yingzheng could speak, a white-bearded old man shouted, and then walked out and said, "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that natural disasters are warnings. "This old man is then a lot of locust gods and other things, which cannot be hunted and killed, and needs to be sacrificed to the heavens, and then the sword soldiers will be stopped, and the Great Qin armor warriors will return to the farmland.

Fortunately, he seemed to know that Yingzheng was not easy to mess with, and he didn't say much about Yingzheng's mistakes, but just grasped the locust plague and kept talking.

When Ying Zheng succeeded to the throne when he was young, his performance was indeed very mediocre, and at that time, the government of Great Qin was basically in the hands of Lü Buwei.

There is Chang Yu inside, there is Lü Buwei outside, the royal family surnamed Ying in Daqin basically has no rights, and when Li Si first came to Xianyang, he also took refuge in Lü Buwei first.

Originally, Li Si was still very worried about the state of Daqin, the lord was weak and the minister was strong, but after Li Si's careful observation, he found that Yingzheng's profundity was not revealed, and he did not attach great importance to Lü Buwei, so Li Si immediately betrayed Lü Buwei, took refuge in Yingzheng, and became a spy with Lü Buwei.

After nearly ten years of Taoguang cultivation, Ying Zheng secretly formed Luo Wang and Ying Mi Wei, on the day of his pro-government, Ying Zheng finally launched, under the joint strangulation of the three forces of the Yin and Yang family, Luo Net, and Ying Mi Wei, even the powerful Lu Buwei disappeared.

Lü Buwei was able to gain so much power in Daqin with a surname outside the district, and his powerful power was also inseparable, the miscellaneous family, Lü Buwei is the leader of the contemporary miscellaneous family.

After this battle, the miscellaneous family lost a large number of masters, and basically became the last of the hundred schools.

The great purge after the extermination of Lü Buwei and Chang Yu made Xianyang City for a whole week, there was no contact in the market at all, and everyone in the entire Xianyang City was basically hiding at home, except for the Daqin soldiers who were searching for Lü Buwei's remnants on the street, there was basically no one else in sight.

The heads of the people killed by Yingzheng in Xianyang City were rolling, and eighty percent of the officials in the court were all cleared by Yingzheng, and except for a few who refused to join Lu Buwei in the same stream, all the others took on a new look.

It was at this time that the entire Great Qin understood the strength of Ying Zheng, and now there is only one voice of Ying Zheng in Great Qin, this old man, who was unwilling to go with Lu Buwei before, this kind of person has no real power, and he is relatively high-minded, basically an old fellow of Confucianism.

After the Shang Dynasty changed the law, although Daqin was the dominant Legalist, the Legalist family was not unable to tolerate other sons and hundreds of schools, Mohists, Confucianists, etc.

However, the people who came from Confucianism basically couldn't get along in the other six countries, and they hoped that it would be better to come to Daqin, and the Mo family was in Daqin because of the loss of the clan, and only a small number of people entered Daqin.

"Alright, you stand down. Ying Zheng didn't wait for this old man to finish speaking, waved his hand casually, and motioned him to go down, if it weren't for these guys, who were not in the same league with Lu Buwei at that time, how could Ying Zheng allow them to continue to exist.

Of course, these old guys are not useless, like what to build classics, what etiquette to preside, and really rely on these old guys.

"Master Guoshi, I'm sorry for you. After motioning for him to go down, Ying Zheng smiled and said to the moon god on the side.

"Yes. The moon god saluted.

"Li Si, the locust plague will be handled by the National Teacher, you are responsible for the aftermath, and if there are seriously damaged farmers, you can open a warehouse to release grain. ”

"Yes," Li Si said respectfully.

"Is there anything else, if not, just step down. Ying Zheng looked at the ministers standing below and asked.

"There's also the matter of the Autumn Hunting Festival, whether this year is the same as last year. It was Liss who spoke.

"Do you have any suggestions? Ying Zheng looked around for a week, and when he saw that no one came out, he nodded to Li Si, "In that case, Li Si, you can do it." ”

"Yes. Li Si said.

"Stand down, Liss stays. With Ying Zheng's words, the hundred officials below began to withdraw from Xianyang Palace one after another.

Autumn harvest is the time when the sky is crisp, for those who don't need to work, this season is a good time to play around, and for farmers who plow, this is the time to see the harvest of the year.

At this time, the peasants were looking at the locusts raging in the fields in horror, overwhelming, this locust plague was not only unique to Great Qin, but also to the other six countries.

It's just that compared with Daqin's measures to fight locusts, the other six countries are obviously much behind, and the monarchs of the other six countries all preside over sacrifices after the locust plague begins, and the farmers of the six countries, in the face of the locusts that are ravaging the fields, only know how to kneel on the ground and ask the locust god for forgiveness.

As for the peasants of Great Qin, except for a very small number of people who claim that they can't kill locusts, the others are struggling to kill locusts, but compared to the number of locusts, this click killing is very small, until the official people of Great Qin appear.

There were about a hundred, young men and women, dressed in the same red garments, and they went around the fields one after another, and in the face of the raging locusts, all of them stood in their respective positions, and then at the same time they made a mark with their fingers, and then the whole heaven and earth suddenly burst into flames, and all the locusts were swallowed up by the flames.

"Tell you, Lord Si, all the locusts in this place have been destroyed. After the locusts had been wiped out, one of the young men stepped out and came to a tree, and lay down on it, also dressed in red, but distinctly different from the others, and said respectfully.

The young man in the tree had a long sword with a red hilt by his side.

"Ah, it's over, it's boring. The man in the tree yawned as soon as he heard what the man below had said, then jumped down from the tree, and then stretched, "Then go to the next place." ”

"Mu Zijun, you're lazy here again. At this time, a young woman in the same red dress, but in a skirt, walked towards such a hurry, and cried loudly as she went.

"I'm not lazy, sister. As soon as this young man saw the arrival, his forehead immediately wrinkled, this woman was really his own sister Mu Ziqian.

"He also said that he was not lazy, and the Great Master ordered you to solve the locust plague everywhere as soon as possible, and you have only solved a few or three places now, you don't know how many fields will be damaged and how much grain will be lost for every extra moment of delay, these farmers are counting on these grains to survive. Mu Ziqian scolded loudly.

"Isn't it only the people from our Yin and Yang Family Fire Department who are doing it, isn't there still Baiyue's witchcraft. Mu Zijun muttered in a low voice.

"What do you say, you're saying it again. Mu Ziqian crossed her hands on her hips, stared at Mu Zijun, and shouted loudly.

"Without saying anything, I immediately led them to the next place, saving people like fighting a fire. After Mu Zijun finished speaking, he immediately ran away, and then left with the nearly 100 people.

"Thanks to Miss Mu's help, the locust plague here can be eliminated so quickly. Not long after Mu Zijun left, a shadow guard appeared beside Mu Ziqian and saluted.

"The locust plague is gone, but the crops have agreed to be burned, what will you do with it after that. Mu Ziqian looked at the farmers who were crying on the edge of the fields with some sorrow.

"Please rest assured that the king has ordered that all the peasants affected by the locust plague will be made up by Daqin, and there will be no starvation of the people of Daqin. After seeing a convoy escorted by Great Qin soldiers on the side, this shadow guard immediately prepared to leave.

"That's very good, by the way, I don't know how to respect the Daimyo. Mu Ziqian asked.

"It's rude, in the shadow of the secret guard Xu Xuejiang, this time I am here to take care of the aftermath of the locust plague, in the next few days, I am afraid that there will be a lot of disturbances in the next. At this time, someone happened to be calling his name in the distance, and after he saluted again, he immediately turned and left, and the rest was troublesome.

There has always been no shortage of people who make a fortune in disasters, and this locust plague is the same, Ying Zheng and Li Si know this kind of thing very well, so at the beginning, they sent shadow guards to supervise.

However, even with the shadow guards to supervise, there are still many people who take risks and want to swallow the disaster relief materials, but under the monitoring of the shadow guards, the list of these people is all presented in front of Ying Zheng.

"Kill. With Ying Zheng's order, this time a large number of heads landed, and nearly 100 officials were sent to the court by the Great Qin soldiers, and the highest position was the guard of a county, which was equivalent to the level of the governor of later generations.

"This is not a doctor's punishment. "In the face of Ying Zheng's order, many people think that the punishment is too heavy, just embezzling a little bit of materials, and it is enough to punish it, and there is no need to kill people at all.

However, after Ying Zheng put the three most ruthless people to death for the same crime, no one shouted anymore.

Punishment is not a doctor, this is the only way for the nobles to escape for themselves, and it is also one of the core ideas of Confucianism, if it is in the other six countries, these people at most symbolic verbal warnings two sentences, or not even punishment at all, laugh it off.

But this is Daqin, Yingzheng and Li Si are both staunch supporters of the Legalists, and they can't be punished as doctors, so they won't work in Daqin.

It is precisely because of this law that the talents of the Six Kingdoms, unless they are really unable to get along in the Six Kingdoms, will not come to the Qin State at all, in their opinion, such a heavy criminal law is almost comparable to the punishment of cannon branding during the Shang Dynasty.

In the eyes of the talents of the Six Kingdoms, they worked hard to learn so much knowledge, and in the end it was not for the sake of being a general, but in Daqin, even if they achieved the ultimate in courtiers, the position of prime minister, there was no fief, only a verbal title, compared to the other six countries, for talents, they were all fiefdoms, and Daqin was too harsh.
