"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the kid's crime?!"

In the face of Ying Zheng's sharp questioning, others were afraid that their legs were already scared and weak, on the other hand, Meng Yi, although he was kneeling down, he was straight, his words were neither humble nor arrogant, and his expression was calm, and the image of the loser was completely like two people.

"Hmph, you killed the prince of Baiyue in public, everyone saw it with their own eyes, and you dare to say that you are not guilty?" The First Emperor asked rhetorically.

Seeing that Meng Yi was not afraid, he said righteously: "The kid doesn't deny the killing of Tianze, but if Your Majesty punishes him for this crime, the kid will not accept it." ”

"If you kill someone in public, according to Qin law, you should be severely punished, why don't you accept it?"

"It's wrong to kill someone, but Your Majesty doesn't ask about the reason for the killing? And how to convince the kid? Let me ask your majesty, is a murderer a sinner? ”

"Isn't it?"

"Really?!" Meng Yi asked rhetorically, "If this person is a heinous and unforgivable person, but he is killed by others, and he does not know whether the murderer is guilty or not?" ”

"Even so, it's not a reason to kill. The wicked should be handed over to the government, so why should you enforce this right to kill? ”

After hearing this, Meng Yi smiled: "If the government dares to intervene, how can it cause follow-up troubles?" This group of dogs and flies bullies the defenseless people, and it is a fool's dream to want them to petition for the people and uphold justice. ”

No matter ancient or modern, "bullying the weak and fearing the hard" is by no means the right of the young, and the same is true of the government, how can the people of officialdom offend the superiors? Unless he doesn't want the black veil on his head.

Tianze is a Baiyue envoy, and he is the prince of Baiyue, those who are officials, they can't hate him, how can they meddle in his affairs?

"What do you want to say?"

Meng Yi didn't answer his question directly, but asked again: "Boy, ask Your Majesty again, do you know who the woman who was molested by Tianze yesterday?" ”

"Who is it?" The First Emperor asked, he had only heard that Tianze was molesting the people's girl, and he did not know the identity of the woman.

"This woman's name is Li Xinyue, and she is the beloved daughter of Lord Li Sili, who is the captain of the imperial court."

"It's the daughter of Li Si?"

Many people only know that Tianze is molesting women, but they don't know the true identity of that woman. Unexpectedly, Tianze was bold, and even Li Si's woman dared to flirt.

"Your Majesty, Lord Li is in an important position, and he is a minister of the empire, and now his beloved daughter is being molested by Tianze, but no one dares to stand up and uphold justice. Lord Li loves his daughter like this, so how can he talk about the daughters of ordinary people? ”

Yes, even Li Si's daughter is not in his eyes, let alone those poor people.

For a while, Ying Zheng didn't know how to answer.

"As a citizen of Great Qin, the kid is also behind the gate, if Tianze is allowed to tarnish the woman's innocence and ignore it, how can he be called a citizen of Great Qin?"

"The kid also knows that Tianze is a minister of another country, and now being killed will inevitably cause the breakdown of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and Rao is fate will start again, and the kid will still kill him, not for anything else, just for one reason."

"What is the reason?" The First Emperor asked.

"Those who offend my Great Qin, even if they are far away, will be punished!!"

As soon as these words came out, the government and the opposition were shocked. Meng Yi's voice, echoing in the magnificent hall, has not subsided for a long time. After listening to his words, Ying Zheng froze in surprise.

"Tianze deceived my Qin people, destroyed the prestige of my Qin country, the kid was three feet thin, it is not a pity to die, even if he risks killing his head, he must also save the face of my Great Qin Empire from being looked down upon by foreigners."

I have to say that Meng Yi's remarks can be described as impassioned and deafening, which makes Ying Zheng look at it differently.

The first emperor unified the six countries and achieved peerless feats, if there was no domineering in his heart, he would not have achieved his immortal feats, and now Meng Yi's words have completely ignited his desire.

And Tianze, as a foreign envoy, not only did he not know how to restrain himself, but he openly molested the people and slandered Daqin, which was already a major crime of killing the head.

After the First Emperor learned about it, he also applauded Meng Yi's applause, as a Great Qin man, he should have a bloody nature, like a wolf, only in this way can the Great Qin Empire be invincible.

"Meng Yi, whatever? You have indeed killed someone, and if I do not punish him, then everyone in the world will do all the evil things in the name of 'justice', so you must be punished. ”

Meng Yi is certainly right, and Ying Zheng also appreciates his style. However, if Meng Yi is in peace, and if such a thing happens again in the future, and everyone says that they are righteous, then the world will be in turmoil, and the law will be weak and gone.

This opening will never be torn open.

"Come on, put Meng Yi in prison and behead him after the autumn!"

Qin's laws are strict, such as the death penalty, and the mistakes Meng Yi made this time, although it was out of kindness, but after all, he killed someone, and he was still the prince of Baiyue.

……

A few days later, the news that Meng Yi was put on death row and sentenced to death swept through the city like a storm, attracting countless discussions.

Not long ago, Meng Yi had just made great achievements and paid homage to the emperor, but now in just a few days, he instantly became a death row prisoner, and the gap between the two is really unacceptable.

This kind of thing, of course, some people are happy and some are sad, and those who are sad are Meng Tian, and those who are happy, especially those led by Wang Li and Li You, heard that Meng Yi was sentenced to death, and they laughed back and forth.

"Brother Li, in order to celebrate Meng Yi being put on death row, today brother I have a treat, go to the Moon Tower to have a drink, okay?" Wang Li laughed.

"Very good, very good, I have long seen that kid unhappy, and now he is finally self-inflicted and deserves to be sentenced to death, haha!!" Li You said.

Since being humiliated by Meng Yi in public at the court meeting, Meng Yi and Li You's Liangzi have come to an end.

was worried that he couldn't find a place to take revenge on him, but as a result, Meng Yi killed Tianze in a daze, which can really be said to be the death of the sky.

"By the way, Meng Yi's miscellaneous pieces seem to be Tianze who was killed to save your sister?" Wang Li said casually.

Li You pouted and said, "What do you have to do with me?" Li Xinyue is Li Xinyue, I am me, and the two of us have nothing to do with each other. ”

Li You and Li Xinyue are half-sisters, and Li You has not liked Li Xinyue since he was a child, as for whether Meng Yi killed someone because he saved Li Xinyue, he didn't bother to care, let alone care.

"That's right." Wang Li said, "However, your sister is very good-looking, brother, I have not been close to women recently, Brother Li, do you think you can ......?" ”

"No problem, wrap it up on me, and promise to make Li Xinyue's bitch obey you."

"Righteous enough, go, drink, haha!!"

……

After Meng Yi was put on death row, Li Si wrote many times to ask for a performance, but each time the result was refuted by Yingzheng, and the first emperor would never treat Qin Lu as nothing because of Meng Yi.

It is not possible to abolish the public for private reasons.

In this moment, half a month has passed, and the news of Tianze's killing has also spread to Baiyue.

Baiyue learned that Tianze was killed, but instead of being angry, the government and the opposition were overjoyed, and the reason for this was that Tianze was just a beggar picked up by the king of Baiyue from the side of the road.

This visit to China was deliberately done by Baiyue, in order to provoke incidents and deliberately make trouble for Daqin.

Now it seems that everything is going according to plan, Tianze was killed, and Baiyue can take the opportunity to make things difficult. Of course, it is not to the point of sending troops.

After all, Baiyue Kingdom was still a little afraid of Great Qin.

The war cannot be provoked, but it can justifiably make things difficult for the Qin State, and it can also take this opportunity to test the reality of the Qin Dynasty.

Therefore, after learning that Tianze had been killed, Baiyue quickly sent a second group of envoys, the purpose of which was to humiliate the Qin State.

When the Baiyue envoys came to the Qin State again, they were above the court, first questioning everyone in public, leaving everyone speechless, and then revealing the true purpose of their trip.

Above the court.

I only heard the Baiyue envoy say: "When my king heard that the prince of Tianze was unfortunately killed, he was physically and mentally painful, and he wanted to send troops to Daqin, but he thought that the two countries were good neighbors, and they should not be destroyed at will." But the revenge of killing the son must be avenged. ”

"Therefore, my king said that if the Qin State can complete a small game, it will not be blamed for the past; If you can't do it, you must cede all the territory south of the Yangtze River. ”

As soon as these words came out, the government and the opposition were in an uproar, and Yingzheng's face was even more cold, and he was furious when he heard it, but he still held back his anger. Once the war with Baiyue starts, the northern Xiongnu are eyeing each other, and they will inevitably take the opportunity to make trouble, and it may be difficult to parry.

The First Emperor was well aware of the situation, so he had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I promise you, let's say, what kind of game is it?!" ”

"The game is divided into three rounds, and if you lose any of them, you lose. And this first round is - to lift the crown. ”

I saw that the Baiyue envoy clapped his hands, and at this time, there were more than 30 Baiyue slaves from outside the court struggling to carry a bronze tripod weighing thousands of catties.

They were gently placed on the ground, and the moment the bronze tripod hit the ground, the entire hall trembled.

The weight of this tripod is so heavy that even if Xiang Yu is here, he can't lift it.

At this time, the Baiyue envoy said: "Presumably the King of Qin has already guessed the rules of the game, yes, the people of the Qin State, if someone can lift this bronze tripod weighing 4,800 catties, you will win." ”

Four thousand eight hundred pounds?!

Such a heavy bronze tripod, let alone one person, even if ten people are struggling, how can this be completed? No kidding.

There was a dead silence between the government and the opposition, and no one could do it.

Baiyue's envoy deliberately mocked: "King Qin, I can't imagine that you big country can't find a person who can hold up this tripod, it's really disappointing!" ”

Being ridiculed in public made Ying Zheng angry and annoyed, but he just couldn't do anything to the other party, who couldn't let himself do it.

But at this moment, a person stood up, this person was none other than Li Si, the lieutenant of the imperial court, and he said, "Your Majesty, someone can raise this tripod." ”

"Who is it? Hurry up. ”

"Meng Yi!!"
