Chapter 5 The Three Fathers Bingguo Fifty-two Li Si's counterattack
Despite the conspiracy against the storm, the grand crowning ceremony was still held in Yongcheng as scheduled.
After the crown and sword ceremony was completed, the anxious Lü Buwei said that he wanted to remove the title of "middle father". Unexpectedly, Yingzheng did not allow it, but he encouraged Lu Buwei noncommittally, and still let him take the post of prime minister of the Kaifu and the chief regent.
Chang Yu used to be a guest of Lü Buwei, and he was also introduced by him when he entered the palace, and Lü Buwei sat down according to Qin law. However, what shocked Ying Zheng was that before he had made a decision on how to deal with Lü Buwei, the ministers of the DPRK and China tried their best to protect him, and the people's calls for Lü Buwei's exoneration were endless.
In this case, Ying Zheng would rather choose not to move Lü Buwei for the time being, after all, there is no conclusive evidence, even if Lü Buwei is overthrown, he cannot completely eradicate the huge forces behind Lü Buwei from the foundation, what he needs is a one-hit victory.
As soon as the ceremony ended, Ying Zheng hurriedly rushed back to Xianyang overnight to deal with the case of Chang Yu. A month later, the Tingwei Mansion finally closed the case: Chang Yu rebelled against the palace, the car was split and executed, and the three clans were punished; Accomplices of the internal history of Yingxi, Weiwei Wang Quan, and Zhongda Doctor Leng Qi, all of them were beheaded and their clans were exterminated; The retinue of the doorman shall be beheaded by those who rebel, and those who fail to obey shall be punished with three years' imprisonment; The queen mother was involved in the case, cut 2,000 stones, moved to the cold palace, and decided to hear about political affairs.
In addition, there are more than 4,000 people implicated in this case, all of whom were deprived of their official positions and degraded to Shuzhong.
The matter finally came to an end, but Yingzheng's heart disease was not eliminated, Changxin Hou was gone, but there was an even more terrible Wen Xinhou. In Ying Zheng's view, Chang Yu is at best just a male favorite around the queen mother, but Lü Buwei is completely different, for more than ten years, Lü Buwei can be said to be deeply rooted in the Qin State, without removing Lü Buwei, he will not be able to truly control the Qin State.
However, what scared Ying Zheng the most was what Chang Yu said to himself in front of the Dazheng Palace, although in the eyes of others, this was just Chang Yu's nonsense, and no one would believe it, but it was hard to guarantee that no one with ill intentions would take advantage of this matter to make a big fuss. If this shocking secret is really confirmed, when the Qin crowd rises up to attack it, I am afraid that my position as the king of Qin will not be guaranteed.
After thinking about it, the safest way is to get rid of Lü Buwei, but Lü Buwei is scheming, and the chief servant who was in charge of castration for Chang Yu has long been killed by him, and now there is no proof of death, and Yingzheng can only cry out in vain.
A few days later, the King of Qin issued an edict: Chang Yu's execution was supervised by Xiangguo Lü Buwei, and the King of Qin came to observe the execution.
Looking at Ying Zheng's smiling expression on the high sitting platform, Lu Buwei understood: this move is to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys! As soon as Chang Yu dies, the next person Yingzheng will deal with is himself! Father and son cannibalism, although Lü Buwei is heartbroken, but he doesn't know what to do.
"The time has come for the Marquis of Wenxin!" Fu Cheng reminded on the side.
Lu Buwei came back to his senses and inadvertently glanced at Chang Yu who was standing in the execution ground. I saw that Chang Yu's closed eyes suddenly opened and stared at him deadly. From Chang Yu's eyes, Lu Buwei seemed to read a trace of pity.
Lu Buwei's heart was furious: "Chang Yu, do you have a last word?" ”
Chang Yu turned his gaze to Ying Zheng, who was watching the execution from a distance, and laughed wildly: "Kill the fake father today!" Tomorrow I will kill my true father! Lü Buwei, Lao Tzu is waiting for you on Huangquan Road! Hahaha......"
In the midst of wild laughter, the executioner quickly put five ropes on Chang Yu's limbs and neck, and the other end of the rope was connected to five ox carts, so Chang Yu's whole person was lying in a large shape.
The drum of the execution rumbled, and the onlookers closed their eyes, and after a terrible roar, the execution site was reduced to a bloody image of countless fragments of corpses.
Lu Buwei numbly watched the whole process of the car splitting, Chang Yu was dead, but the words before Chang Yu was sentenced always echoed in his mind: "Kill the fake father today!" Tomorrow I will kill my true father......"
That night, Ying Zheng suddenly secretly summoned Lü Buwei's newly promoted Hequ Cheng Li Si, who had been in Qin for more than ten years, and Li Si saw the King of Qin for the first time. For him, it could be a fateful day.
"Ying Zheng has been waiting for Mr. for a long time." Ying Zheng, who was sitting in the empty study of the royal city, immediately got up when he saw Li Si and strode up to meet him.
"King Qin...... "What a glorious thing it is that an ordinary river canal can be received by the monarch alone." Li Si, who suddenly received such courtesy, felt hot in his heart, and tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes.
Ying Zheng helped Li Si to sit down in front of the big case, and then said sincerely: "There is no one else here, Zheng implores Mr. for advice." ”
"Si Cai is shallow in learning, and he doesn't dare to teach." Li Si straightened up and said with a flushed face.
Ying Zheng smiled and waved his hand: "Mr. Guo Qianye!" Today, I only heard that Mr. Lu's Spring and Autumn compiled for his middle father has been written, and I want to hear Mr. Judge's judgment on this book! ”
Li Si pinched his thighs fiercely, calmed down, and finally had no restraints, and said calmly: "Li Si entered the Qin Mengwen Xinhou Zhiyu to compile the book "Lü's Spring and Autumn", this book is a collection of the doctrines of the hundred schools of thought governing the country, and the gains and losses of more than 100 years of political pros and cons in the world, if it is in terms of governing the country, it may be beneficial and harmless to my Great Qin!" ”
"Oh? Is this what Mr. is intended? Ying Zheng looked at Li Si eagerly, after the book "Lü's Spring and Autumn" was written, Lü Buwei openly offered a reward for mistakes at the south gate of Xianyang, and changed a word and rewarded a thousand gold. This matter has caused a stir in the Qin State, and Ying Zheng also wants to take this opportunity to test Li Si's true opinion on it.
Li Si instantly sensed King Qin's intentions, and immediately replied: "The move of the south gate of Xianyang, Marquis of Wenxin, is just to induce people's hearts, and the people are the same, and the king will accept it!" However, according to the minister's opinion, although the law of leniency mentioned in the "Spring and Autumn Period of the Lu Family" is popular and can also make the national law peaceful, if my king wants to go down for a day, only the law of the king of Shang is the ear! ”
Ying Zheng solemnly arched his hand and said: "Mr. 's words, Ying Zheng's cottage is suddenly opened!" Where to go for Qin Zheng, please teach me sir. ”
"My king's heart is clear, why do you need to say more?" Li Si complimented.
Li Si originally wanted to pat King Qin's ass silently, but he didn't expect Ying Zheng to suddenly change his words after hearing this, and said with a cold face: "What is the talent of Mr. Or do you still have doubts in your mind? ”
It was only at this time that Li Sifang suddenly woke up to the fact that King Qin wanted to test his relationship with Lü Buwei! Not to mention that Li Si had already reached a secret agreement with Zhao Kuo to jointly bring down Lü Buwei, just from the fact that Lü Buwei had become an obstacle to his career, Li Si must also launch a counterattack against Lü Buwei: "Although the minister is a guest of the Marquis of Wenxin, he thinks about it day and night. ”
Ying Zheng was very disappreciative after hearing this: "However, Chang Yu was also a guest of Wenxin Houmen, does Mr. know about this?" Yingzheng's intention is obvious, he wants Lü Buwei's proud doorman to jump out and expose Lü Buwei, so as to block the mouth of people in the world.
Comparing himself with Chang Yu, who had just been executed, Liston was frightened into a cold sweat, and couldn't wait to confess: "Although the minister admires the ability of the Marquis of Wenxin, he is not ashamed of the people of the Marquis of Wenxin!" ”
"What do you mean, sir?" Ying Zheng's face eased slightly.
How could this subtle change escape Li Si's eyes, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly said: "The minister is for the country, don't dare to hide it!" The matter of Chang Yu's fake eunuch entering the palace was all handled by Wen Xinhou. ”
Ying Zheng sighed and said quietly: "This king doesn't know about this matter, but he lacks evidence!" ”
Hearing King Qin say this, Li Si was relieved, he stood up and bowed deeply to Yingzheng and said: "My king doesn't have to worry, the minister has the documents and credentials left by the Marquis of Wenxin." "It turned out that when Chang Yu was sent to the palace, the person in charge of the secret negotiation was Li Si, and Li Si certainly knew what this document meant to Lu Buwei. After the matter was settled, Li Si informed Lü Buwei that his credentials had been destroyed, and on the other hand, he secretly hid them in case of future emergencies.
"Oh? Really? Providence? Ying Zheng couldn't help but be happy, and nodded with satisfaction, "Mr. Dacai, this king has benefited a lot today." Three days later, the main hall will meet, please attend! ”
After so many years of hard work, who knows the hardships and ups and downs? Now that he has finally come to prominence, how could Li Si not be overjoyed, he hurriedly bowed to the ground: "With the grace of the king, the ministers will do their best to live up to Daqin!" ”
"The King of Qin is an immortal hero, why can't he create a great cause through the ages and go down in history?" That night, Lis's heart was intoxicated.
