116 Lieutenant Lis
"Your Majesty, after investigation, this matter is all caused by Mi Chen's collusion with the forces of Zhao State and his vain attempt to defect to Zhao State, and the rumors are all made up by him, and there is no fact. The minister has quelled the rebellion, and Yangquan Jun Mi Chen and Fan Yu have resisted stubbornly, and have been corrected on the spot and placed at the head of the city to show punishment! β
When he returned to Xianyang, just in time for the early dynasty, Li Ling could only go directly to the court without explaining the situation to Yingzheng in advance.
"What about the Adult Python? How is he? Did he also participate in the rebellion? Where is he? Still alive? β
Sure enough, Ying Zheng is most concerned about the safety of Cheng Chan, after all, Cheng Chan is also his younger brother.
"Back to the king, the minister found out that Cheng Cheng Gongzi did not participate in the rebellion, and Mi Chen originally planned to use lies to deceive Gongzi so that he could raise troops, but Gongzi did not believe his lies, and was always unwilling to rebel, and was finally placed under house arrest by Mi Chen. Now Cheng Chan Gongzi has returned to Xianyang with his ministers, but he believes that he has not been able to stop the rebellion of Mi Chen and others, and he is guilty, so he is in the prison car all the way, and at this time he is still in the prison car outside the palace gate, unwilling to get off. β
"Hmph, in my opinion, it's clear that the adult toad is just for self-preservation!"
LΓΌ Buwei didn't believe Li Ling's words at all.
"To deal with the tunliu mutiny, I only took eleven guards to the tunliu, if Cheng Gongzi really has the intention to rebel, do you think I can still stand here? Do you think that those soldiers will all surrender without saying a word? Stumped Xiangbang, do you have to force Cheng Gongzi to death, and even the 40,000 soldiers outside the Guanwai are all forced to die? What is the difference between you doing this and that Mi Chen's treason! β
Li Ling did not flinch, Cheng Chan had to keep it no matter what.
"Come on, quickly give Cheng Chan to the widow and invite him to the palace to explain the situation, and the middle father and the Taifu of the province are arguing endlessly."
Soon, Cheng Chan was taken to the court.
"You say, what's going on, is it as Taifu said, you were imprisoned in Tunliu by Mi Chen, so Mi Chen was able to rebel in your name?"
As soon as Cheng Chan was brought up, Ying Zheng hurriedly asked.
"The criminal minister failed to understand the collusion of his uncle with Zhao Guo in advance, and he almost listened to the slander, which caused the trouble, but fortunately, the Taifu appeared in time to find out the truth and save the courtier's brother Yu Tunliu, but the courtier's brother is still guilty, please punish the king."
"Since according to what you said, it was all done by Mi Chen, then the old man asked you why Mi Chen appeared in your barracks!"
LΓΌ Buwei still didn't plan to let Cheng Chan go.
"I'm just in charge of leading the troops to fight, how can I know why my uncle is in the tunliu? By the time I find out that something is wrong, I have been imprisoned by Fan Yuzhi, what can I do? β
According to the rhetoric that Li Ling had arranged on the road, Cheng Cheng was not afraid of Lu Buwei's interrogation.
"Okay, now that the matter has been clarified, then it's no wonder to you, you go back to the house to rest first."
"Thank you, the king."
Getting up, Cheng Chan left the hall with his head down.
"Since the king is unwilling to dispose of Cheng Gongzi, then the king also decides how the others should be disposed of!"
"Anyone else?"
"Your Majesty, there are a total of seventy-three officials at all levels who participated in this rebellion, more than 2,600 subordinate accomplices, thieves, etc., and more than 5,000 family members and servants, among which 25 people, including the thief leader Mi Chen and Fan Yuzhi, have been punished on the spot because of their stubborn resistance, and the rest of the people have confessed to the fact of the conspiracy, and how to deal with it is up to the king to decide."
Hiss~~~
There was an uproar in the court, and even Li Ling, who had already guessed that Lu Buwei would definitely take the opportunity to sweep away many people, did not expect that in less than half a month after he left Xianyang, this Lu Buwei actually caused so many lives!
This is about to break 10,000, what is Lu Buwei going to do?
"Li Si, according to Qin's law, how should these people be handled?"
"Your Majesty, according to the laws of Qin, anyone who intends to rebel ......"
"Say!"
Looking at Li Si's stumbling appearance, Yingzheng was a little anxious.
"Both... They all have to die...... The main culprit wants to destroy the nine clans......"
Li Si's cold sweat instantly covered his entire forehead, and the clothes on his back were completely soaked, this should not have been said by him, but now he was forced by Yingzheng to say, Li Si is too difficult, among these thousands or even tens of thousands of people, how many are unjust souls, Li Si is afraid!
"Please punish the king according to the law!"
"Xiangbang, you are presumptuous! Are you going to kill all the people in the Great Qin Dynasty? Do you want to kill even the king? β
"What do you mean, Taifu! Please be aware of the king, the old man has no such intentions! β
was suddenly reprimanded by Li Ling, and even said that he would kill the king together, Lu Buwei suddenly remembered that Mi Chen was Yingzheng's uncle and a relative of the emperor.
"Lis!"
"Minister... The minister is in the ......"
Kneeling on the ground with a plop, he crawled to the center of the hall, and there was no misfortune, poor Li Si really wanted to scold his mother.
"Forget it, you don't count it. Imperial Doctor Kui Lin, where is the virtue of Tingwei! β
"Minister... The minister is in the ......"
"What about virtue?"
"King Qiqi, De Yu also participated in this rebellion, but it was the mastermind of Mi Chen's stay in Xianyang, because the rebellion was revealed, and he tried to assassinate the king, and he was beheaded outside the palace gate by Wei Wei Liu."
LΓΌ Buwei calmly told Yingzheng the end of virtue.
Hearing that De Wu was actually dead, and was said to be trying to assassinate himself, of course Ying Zheng didn't believe it, De Wu was raised by himself, and he was loyal to himself, how could he rebel!
But the matter has come to this point, and it is obvious that there is no way to overturn the case.
"Kui Lin, you say!"
"The minister is guilty, the minister is guilty!"
"What sin are you guilty of? Could it be that even you were involved in the rebellion? β
"The minister has the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials, and now there are many officials involved, and the minister is guilty of negligence and dereliction of duty, so I ask the king to punish him!"
Kui Lin didn't dare to raise his head, and directly took responsibility for himself, the dereliction of duty is said to be big, but it can be small or small, it is much safer than letting him deal with this matter.
"Hey~~!"
Seeing that even Kui Lin is like this, Ying Zheng is not angry, but he can't get angry, Kui Lin is one of the few people in the court who is not at the mercy of Lu Buwei, and he is in a high position, so he really can't deal with him.
"Lees! From now on, the widow will appoint you as the court lieutenant and deal with this matter as soon as possible! β
"Li Si received the order, but he also asked the king to give the king sword to the minister for a few days, so that the minister could let go of his hands and feet when he disposed of it!"
Some things are destined, Li Si can't hide from it even if he wants to, and in the end it is his turn.
However, Li Si is so smart, since Ying Zheng has appointed himself as the court lieutenant and has full authority to deal with this matter, it is equivalent to leaving him room to operate.
What he has to do now is not how to enforce the law impartially, but to find a way to satisfy Yingzheng and control the impact of this matter as much as possible.
"Zhao Gao, take the widow's sword."
