Chapter 352: Massacre
Ziying ascended the throne and called himself "Qin III".
However, some courtiers will ask why they are not called "II"?!
The answer is very simple, the word "two" is unlucky, and the child comes from the future, especially when I heard about Qin II, Sui II, etc., and none of them ended well.
So the first thing he did when he ascended the throne and became emperor was to proclaim himself the "third" emperor.
Since Feng Qujian resigned and returned to his hometown, there is no one in the court who can tell the truth anymore, Tang has Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling who dare to admonish, Emperor Taizong is famous all over the world, and the opening is prosperous.
And in the court under the jurisdiction of Ziying, those who dared to disobey his holy will were killed without forgiveness and beheaded in the market.
Therefore, above the court of the third generation, the courtiers did not dare to speak, they were all walking on thin ice, discussing politics in the court, mostly for flattering and flattering, talking about the policy of governing the country, the child often used personal arbitrariness and did not listen to good words.
Compared with the First Emperor, the Third Emperor was too domineering and arbitrary.
If he has a good strategy to govern the country, it would be fine, but Ziying is ruthless, he kills innocents indiscriminately, and killing people who have bullied him is just revenge, but he even scolded him as a child when he was a child, and Ling Chi was executed, how vicious his heart was.
It was only at this time that everyone suddenly woke up, and it turned out that the child of the "good old man" was a murderer at all.
The laws of the Great Qin Empire, in his opinion, are regarded as child's play, but anyone who does not like his eyes will not be able to escape his butcher's knife, and over time, the hall that was originally a political council has also become treacherous and heavy.
In the past, the great court meeting was a hundred schools of thought, many courtiers spoke freely, and the first emperor was a generation of Ming monarchs, opening up the way for many ministers, how beautiful the atmosphere of discussion and politics was!
Ascending to the dynasty and entering the office, that is what many people dream of, but what about now?
The court did not dare to speak, the courtiers were sincerely afraid, like walking on thin ice, and the slightest carelessness would be the head of the person, how could they dare to speak widely and speak freely? !
The past is gone, and everyone really understands that they have done something wrong after all.
But the wood has become a boat, Ziying has ascended the throne and become the emperor, everything has gone back, and they also faintly feel that the foundation of the empire is being hollowed out by him, the "third" emperor, little by little, and the huge empire will eventually go to the road of decline.
And the thing that really made all the ministers the most chilling and reached the extreme was that after Ziying ascended the throne, he actually killed his compatriots and siblings.
The First Emperor had dozens of children under his knees, and Ziying was so vicious that he killed all the children of the First Emperor, that is, his brothers and sisters.
(Note: Historically, it was Hu Hai who killed his siblings, but here is just a quote from this incident.) )
People who don't even let go of their siblings and siblings, you can imagine how dark and terrible this person's heart is.
Among the many princes and princesses, the most famous person is Fusu, after killing other princes and princesses, Ziying only left him, and wanted to kill Fusu, if there is no serious charge, it will not work, after all, Fusu's reputation is too great, so it will inevitably mess up people's hearts.
However, Ziying still found Fusu to die in the name of "chaotic country", but Ziying can be regarded as having a trace of kindness, and let him kill himself in the house, which can be regarded as giving him the last bit of dignity in his life.
……
After Fusu's 'death', many people still expected Fusu to stand up and save the empire, but now the last straw in their minds has also failed.
It wasn't until this incident happened that the hearts of all the ministers inside and outside the government and the opposition were cold, and those henchmen who followed Ziying really realized a problem, that is, Ziying even killed his siblings, let alone them?
After Ziying ascended the throne, Ziying kicked away those henchmen who followed him, and he didn't even have a reward and an official knight, which was completely chilling.
After the dissidents were eliminated, Ziying built a large number of buildings, levies taxes, and levies forced labor, which completely pushed the already stormy Great Qin Empire to the forefront.
This wrecked ship has long been riddled with holes, where can it withstand the rolling waves of the vast ocean.
……

------
A few days ago.
Juxiantang.
On the outskirts of the south of the city, the place where the literati and scholars established by Gongzi Fusu gathered, and now it is full of depression and loneliness, and all the literati and writers related to Fusu could not escape the claws of the child, and most of them were arrested and sent to imperial prisons, and sentenced to death for treason.
"It's finally time to catch up."
Meng Yi rode his horse and galloped wildly, to Juxian Hall, wanting to see Fusu draw his sword and kill himself, he snatched the sword from Fusu's hand and saved a life.
"Why should Childe bother?"
Meng Yi looked at Fusu, who had attempted to kill himself, and asked.
"The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, that's all." Fusu said.
"Even if you are asked to die on trumped-up charges, will Childe have to die?" Meng Yi asked rhetorically.
Fusu said solemnly: "Yes, Ziying is the king, and the palace is the minister, since ancient times, the way of the monarch and the minister cannot be disobeyed, this is the way of the palace as a minister." ”
Fusu is upright and kind-hearted, but he is also a dead eye, even if he knows that he is not guilty, he will not argue anything, he only needs to obey the orders of the monarch.
But Meng Yi said: "As a minister of the king, like you, he is not loyal, but stupid." ”
"Whether you are stupid or loyal, death may be the best destination for this palace."
Fusu saw that the Great Qin Kingdom created by his father and emperor was defeated at the hands of Ziying, even though he was displeased in his heart, what could he do?
Since there is no way to return to heaven, death may be the best salvation.
This is the obligation that a prince should bear, and he must live and die with the empire.
Meng Yi also saw through the thoughts in his heart, and said: "You are the prince, living with the country; But now, you are a prisoner, so why care? Now you are just an ordinary person, what you should do is not to die, but to spend the rest of your life ordinarily. ”
Death won't solve everything.
Fusu wants to die, Meng Yi categorically won't let him die, since he can't be a prince, then be an ordinary person, an ordinary person who is incognito.
After finishing speaking, Meng Yi suddenly turned outside and shouted, "Come out!" ”
In this matter, a stunning woman came from outside Juxian Hall, she was wearing plain clothes, but it was difficult to hide her stunning face, and after Fusu saw her, the whole person was stunned.
"Yao...... Yaotong? ”
Yes, this woman is Yaotong, who saved Fusu's life a few years ago, in the city of Songhai and the coast of the Bohai Sea, the two get along day and night, and they have been in love for a long time.
Yaotong was a member of the Xiao organization, after Meng Yi destroyed the Xiao organization, Yaotong was captured and survived the fire, and wanted to kill her, but it can be seen that it was her, which left her alive.
And Yaotong also knew that there was no hope of survival after the organization was destroyed, so from then on, she changed her evil and turned to the right, and secretly did things for Meng Yi.
She has a relationship with her son Fu Su Lang, and the concubine is intended, so such a good relationship is to bless them at the last time.
"Yaotong, from today on, you are free, take your son to retreat, and from now on, go incognito and live your life." Meng Yi said.
"Thank you!"
Yao Tong saluted respectfully.
But Fusu was a stubborn temper after all, but he still didn't agree, and was knocked out by Meng Yi, Yaotong stepped forward to support him, and Meng Yi said: "Leave Xianyang, the farther away the better." ”
"But if the quilt knows that he is not dead, he will not give up."
"Leave it to me." Meng Yi said.
After Yaotong responded, he left with Fusu and lived an incognito life.
After they left, Meng Yi found a dead body of Fusu's size, and then burned the entire Juxian Hall with a fire, and the corpse was burned to black.
After Ziying got the news, after it was confirmed, this person was consistent with Fusu, and he was relieved.
……
After Fusu's death, the biggest scourge left behind was Feng Quji, although he had resigned, but Ziying still didn't worry about what this old guy would do.
So, he sent the black-armored soldiers to assassinate him, killing Feng on his way back to his hometown.
However, Meng Yi's skills are superior, he expects that Ding Ziying will not let Feng Quji go easily, and he will drop people on the way as early as possible, and the people killed by the black armor soldiers are all outlaws.
"Meng Yi, thank you for your kindness, old man, thank you for saving your life."
Meng Yi was wearing a night suit, neatly dressed, looked at the death row prisoner who was killed by the black-armored soldiers not far away, and said, "Prime Minister, now do you know who killed Ling Lang?" ”
Feng Qujian sighed helplessly, he already had the result in his heart, and said, "Hey! Evil, how could there be such a wayless tyrant in the Great Qin State. ”
"Instead of sighing, it's better to live the rest of your life, the sky will change sooner or later." Meng Yi said.
"The Empire is about to come to an end!!"
Feng Qu looked up to the sky and sighed, he dedicated his life to Great Qin, but he didn't expect to end up like this, the tragic end is nothing, the empire created by the main First Emperor is going to be destroyed in one fell swoop, it is really sad and lamentable.
"Over the past few years, if he has a fate, I and the prime minister will definitely drink three hundred cups."
The general trend has gone, Meng Yi is also powerless, the country has fallen into the hands of Ziying, there is no room for turn, and the next moment is the moment of destruction.
"On the coast of the East China Sea, there are anglers and old people, if there is a fate, you and I will meet again in the East China Sea, haha!!"
Feng Qujian is also open-minded, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and went to the East China Sea to be a fisherman, which can be regarded as a comfortable way to spend the rest of his life.
Meng Yi said goodbye.
Fu Su and Feng Qujian were both saved, and in history, they all said that they were dead, but in fact, the two of them were just living in seclusion, incognito and no longer with their real identities.
Meng Yi has been in Daqin long enough, it is time to return to Baiyue, this time, he will take Ying Zisu and Xiao Ping'an's mother and son back.
There was nothing left to be nostalgic for him.
The demise of Great Qin is already ironclad, and if it continues to be tossed like this, it will not be long before the rebel armies from all over the country will rise up.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Meng Yi stood outside Xianyang City, looking at this former homeland.
