Chapter 20: Kill Zhao Gao

Zhao Cheng is good at bow and arrow salvos, and his skills are very comparable, and when he was in the wooden house, it was Zhao Cheng who shot an arrow through Gai Nie's palm.

Yang Duanhe saw that Zhao Cheng was holding a sharp weapon, but he was reluctant to do it, for fear of change, he hurriedly urged, "Zhao Gao is full of evil, holding Hu Hai hostage and killing the descendants of the royal family, causing chaos in the court, you must not spoil a big thing because of personal feelings!" ”

Zhao Cheng heard it in his ears, knowing that Zhao Gao would definitely not survive today, but in the face of his brother's tearful eyes, the sword in his hand could not advance for half a point. In the past, Zhao Cheng had long held a grudge against his brother's official assignment, and no matter how the ministers tortured Zhao Gao, if he really killed his brother with his own hands, Zhao Cheng really couldn't do it.

"Your Majesty... Minister..."

"Forget it!" Ziying really can't stand it.

Although he longed for Zhao Gao to be cut by a thousand knives, the brotherhood had to be taken into account.

"Zhao Gao killed the widow's flesh and blood, how can this revenge be avenged by the widow!" Ziying got up and stepped off the throne, Zhao Gao could be ruthless, and the first emperor could kill and decide, but Ziying couldn't do it, I wanted to watch a good show of fratricide, but in the end I still needed to do it myself.

Ziying took the sword, "Zhao Aiqing, and retreat outside the main hall, Aiqing doesn't have to see this scene with his own eyes." ”

"No!" Zhao Cheng hurriedly knelt down and quickly left the main hall.

Ziying also breathed a sigh of relief, people will change, when Liu Bang fights the world, he can call a brother and a brother with a different surname, and the Han Dynasty will kill the king with a different surname.

Zhao Cheng now listens to him and resents Zhao Gao, when the time passes, the kindness is thin, and the resentment is also thin, maybe Zhao Cheng also has a different heart for the child who let him kill his brother.

If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, it is better not to take this risk.

Ziying closed his eyes and raised his sword fiercely.

"The king punishes adultery!"

"The king punishes adultery!"

The shouts of hundreds of officials echoed in the main hall, and Ziying's heart was surging, this was not the first time he had killed someone, as early as last night, he had killed dozens of guards who were making a mess with his own hands.

But the person who was dying in front of him was called Zhao Gao!

Ziying suddenly opened his eyes and fell with a sword in his hand, and a generation of traitors died.

The bloody head rolled down in front of Cao Wuxian, and he opened his eyes and looked at him.

"The king spares his life!" Cao Wuxian shook off Zhao Gao's head in a panic, crawled to Ziying's feet, and hugged Ziying's calf, "The king spares the life of the slave, and the slave is willing to smear the liver and brain for the king!" ”

If Cao Wuxian is kept, I am afraid that the ministers will not feel at ease, and Cao Wuxian cannot be left in any case.

Ziying still hesitated, Cao Wuxian was able to point out that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all in contact with Zhao Gao, which is not nonsense, which shows that Cao Wuxian is indeed capable.

What's more, Cao Wuxian still has a role in history, if he is killed now, Ziying can't be sure whether things will change in the future.

"The widow has killed a lot of people since last night, I don't want blood on this sword, you go, the farther away from Xianyang, the better." Ziying sighed and said, it is really the monarch's regret to let go of talents.

Cao Wuxian was happy and surprised, even if Ziying let him go now, the worried minister probably wouldn't leave him alive.

"Your Majesty..."Cao Wuxian still wanted to intercede.

"Get out!" Ziying shouted.

The guards of the main hall dragged the howling Cao Wusheng out of the court, and the civil and military officials all breathed a sigh of relief.

"After the dispersal of the dynasty, the Aiqing people will go to Zhisu Neishi to receive a hundred gold, and hang Zhao Gao's body and head on the city wall, and feed the wild dogs three days later." Ziying wiped his sword and said.

"The king is shengming!" All the officials shouted in unison.

Ziying sat back on the throne and dozed off with her mouth wide open, and she was already a little tired after a night of sleep.

Yang Duanhe stepped forward and said, "What does the king want to do with Zhao Gao's relatives?" Excluding Zhao Cheng, is it the three clans or the nine clans? ”

Ziying shook her head, "Forget it, just return Zhao Gao's family property to the treasury, and let his relatives live well." ”

The Qin Dynasty's system of sitting together was the most hated by Ziying, and the first emperor believed in Legalism and was eager to persuade the people through a strict system, which proved to be wrong.

Yang Duanhe was slightly stunned, and hurriedly stopped, "The king must not!" Zhao Gao's crime is extremely evil, if he does this, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, and it will also shake the country's foundation. ”

Kunimoto?

When it comes to Guoben, Ziying, who is in a bad mood, is a little depressed.

The last two commanders of Great Qin, Wang Li and Zhang Han, had surrendered to Xiang Yu a few months earlier, and Liu Bang and Xiang Yu's troops had marched into Xianyang in two ways, and there was no country to speak of.

Ziying in history actively resisted Liu Bang's attack, and there was no way to be powerless.

Yang Duanhe and other old ministers have already boasted about their old age, and even if they are experienced in a hundred battles, they can't carry a gun into battle.

"The criminal law of the widow's grandfather is really harsh, and now the widow is in power, there should be some changes, don't say much." Ziying didn't want to explain too much, the times were limited, and Yang Duanhe wouldn't understand it.

"Scattered, scattered." Ziying flicked his sleeves and left the court despite the minister's reaction.

Walking in the palace, Ziying was slightly lonely, obviously without the threat of Zhao Gao, and without Cai Wei's assassination, he was never able to enjoy this rare peace.

The last remnant of Great Qin needs to be collected by him personally.

"Even if I can fight dozens of people alone, I can't fight against hundreds of thousands of people, oh my God, help me." Ziying hung her head in frustration, "Could it be that I crossed over to kill others?" ”

It was October, and Ziying was not very hot in the royal clothes, and walked aimlessly for a long time, and unconsciously came to the Great Qin Ancestral Hall.

The incense in the ancestral hall is flourishing, from Boyi, who helped Dayu control the water, to Feizi, who raised horses for King Zhou Xiao, until Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin.

"Huhai also has incense offerings? Does he deserve it?! ”

Ziying didn't come out angrily, and stepped forward to take Hu Hai's tablet and threw it on the ground.

"Smack!"

The crisp cracking sound of the tablet sounded, and a thin old man hurriedly flashed out of the corner.

The old man was wearing a black official uniform, and there was still the smell of fire roasting on his body, "The minister did not kneel down to the king in time, please forgive the king." ”

Ziying didn't remember seeing the old man in Chaoshang and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The old man knelt down and replied respectfully, "Back to the king, the minister is in the Taibu position, and he is divining the tortoise shell for the Great Qin National Fortune. ”

Taibu?

Taibu was one of the "six Tai" in the Zhou Dynasty, and in the Qin Dynasty, he was second only to the prime minister in terms of the size of his official position. The main task is divination, which can be said to be the highest official position in the national fortune-telling, but with the development of the dynasty, Taibu's official position is getting lower and lower, and in the Tang Dynasty, it is already a petty official under the nine grades, and the Ming and Qing dynasties simply lost this official position.

Divination is not arbitrary, you need to bathe and burn incense, October is the beginning of the Qin calendar year, it is the season to the court for divination.

Ziying saw that there was still a burned turtle shell behind Taibu, and his curiosity was aroused.

Modern fortune tellers are mixed, most of them are liars, and today I finally met an official orthodox.

"Aiqing said quickly, what is the result of tortoiseshell divination? Is there a turnaround in Daqin? ”
