Chapter 9 Helping the new emperor ascend to the throne
Ye Tong could understand Ziying's mood at this time, the First Emperor's family was wiped out by Zhao Gao, and more than 20 children of the First Emperor were all killed by Zhao Gao. It is understandable that I suddenly saw the head of the enemy, and I was emotional. Tears rained down because of joy, tears of joy.
After crying for a while, Ziying suddenly knelt down towards Ye Tong and kowtowed to Ye Tong, which caught Ye Tong off guard and hurriedly reached out to help Ziying up. Ye Tong is not used to kowtowing to others, nor is he used to others kowtowing to himself.
"Your Royal Highness Ziying, I sneaked into the palace last night and met the former Emperor Hu Hai in person. His Majesty Hu Hai wrote the edict of sin and the edict of Zen. After finishing speaking, Ye Tong took out two copies of the edict written by Hu Hai and handed them to Ziying for inspection.
Yes!
The edict of sin, the edict of Zen? Is it possible? Others don't know Hu Hai, but Ziying knows very well that his father Fusu died at the hands of Hu Hai, and General Meng's family also died at the hands of Hu Hai, how could he be willing to take the initiative to Zen and leave behind the edict.
Ziying took the two edicts, and after a detailed inspection, it was confirmed that it was written by Hu Haizhi himself. In particular, the sins have been edicted, and all the culpabilities are clearly and clearly written. The edict is stamped with the large seal of the jade seal of the country, and there will never be a fake, it is a real edict.
"Sir, can you tell Ziying what is going on?"
Ye Tong definitely couldn't tell the truth, so he could only fool and say: "Your Royal Highness Ziying, I saw that the Qin Empire was in danger of annihilation, so I sneaked into the palace and reported the situation of the military and anti-thieves to the former Emperor Hu Hai in detail.
His Majesty Hu Hai regretted it so much that he immediately wrote these two edicts and asked me to bring them out, looking for an opportunity to put His Royal Highness on the throne and ensure the continuation of the Qin Empire. His Majesty Hu Hai knew that he had done too many evils, and he had no face to see His Highness, so he entrusted me to handle it secretly.
Zhao Gaoquan leaned towards the government and the opposition, controlling the palace and Xianyang City, and His Majesty Hu Hai was worried that he would leak the heavenly secret and be discovered by Zhao Gao, so it was carried out in secret. Who knows, if Zhao Gao really found out about this, he harmed His Majesty Hu Hai.
Hearing that Zhao Gao had harmed His Majesty Hu Hai, I and a few of my companions infiltrated the mansions of Zhao Gao, Yan Le, and Zhao Cheng, and attacked and assassinated Zhao Gao, Yan Le, and Zhao Cheng. ”
After hearing this, Ziying immediately knelt down, preparing to kowtow to Ye Tong again, but said sincerely: "Mr. Ye, you are a hero of the Qin Empire, and a benefactor of the Ying family." Your kindness will be remembered by the ancestors of the Ying family for generations. ”
Hehe!
"Your Royal Highness Ziying, I don't need anything to repay my kindness and keep in mind, I just hope that the thousand years of achievements created by the First Emperor will continue. You know? The First Emperor is the first emperor of the ages! Now that the Qin Empire is in danger of annihilation, you are the descendant of the First Emperor, and I hope that Ziying can carry the burden and continue and rise the Qin Empire. If you can do this, you will be the greatest reward to me. ”
O countryman! What a countryman!
Guoshi is a fart, Lao Tzu is to go home. If you want to go home, you must let the civilization of this time and space evolve to a second-level civilization or above, and then it is possible to go home, otherwise you can only die of old age in this time and space.
Next, Ye Tong introduced the situation of the army and the anti-thieves to Ziying, and told Ziying not to fantasize about Zhang Han's 200,000 army. Tell Ziying the plan just studied, and if you can win the support of Ziying, it will be easier to carry out the work later.
At the same time, he told Ziying not to have too much hope for the ministers of the DPRK and China. The capable and virtuous ministers were basically killed by Zhao Gao, and the rest were basically incompetent or wall-topping.
Ye Tongzhen was worried that Ziying was too young, and after taking the throne, he immediately sealed the ministers and pushed some messy incompetent people to important positions. For the Qin Empire, which was in a difficult situation, it was not a good thing, but a bad thing.
After the matter was explained, Ye Tong and his subordinates took the heads of Zhao Gao, Yan Le, and Zhao Cheng, and escorted Ziying to the palace. Of course, the two edicts are kept by Ye Tong, and Ziying can't take them out and read them out by himself!
As soon as he left the gate of Ziying's mansion, he saw more than ten people such as Han Xin, Jiang Song, and Qin Hui guarding the door. Ye Tong asked everyone to escort Ziying and go to the palace. For the safety of the child, Ye Tong had to be cautious and take action with all the forces he could mobilize.
When he arrived at the palace, Ye Tong asked Jiang Song to immediately ring the huge alarm bell in the palace.
Airplanes!
The alarm bell rang loudly, and the sound spread throughout Xianyang City. As long as the civil and military officials are still alive, they will rush to the palace as soon as they hear the alarm bell.
In Xianyang City, a white-haired old man muttered with emotion: How many years have passed, the alarm bell has sounded again, and it seems that Daqin has been saved.
Half an hour later, civil and military officials gathered at Xianyang Palace. Ye Tong, Jiang Song, Han Xin and others guarded Ziying and did not talk to others. Seeing that the courtiers who came from the item had arrived, Ye Tong shouted loudly: "Everyone knows that the former emperor Hu Hai was harmed by Zhao Gao, this is an indisputable fact, and countless people in the palace have been asked, and they have all been confirmed. ”
When the ministers saw a man in strange clothes talking, they were so angry in their hearts! Who are you! Is there a point here for you to speak?
Get down!
Who are you!
A pariah dares to come to the palace, what kind of system.
Guards! Guards! Come and take down this pariah.
Get out!
Ye Tong was full of emotion, and it was normal for the ministers to scold. After all, he is a civilian and has no official position. A small citizen dared to shout loudly in the Xianyang Palace, how could the ministers listen.
"Shut up! Blind speaker slash! ”
Ye Tong let out a violent snort, Jiang Song, Han Xin and others drew their swords one after another, preparing to kill the courtiers who spoke. When the ministers saw Jiang Song, Han Xin and the others, they obediently closed their mouths.
Ye Tong invited Ziying to sit down, and then took out Hu Hai's edict and read: Fengtian carriers, the emperor's edict says ......, and Zen is located in Ziying.
Seeing that the ministers were still in a daze, Ye Tong said violently: "Don't you want to meet the new emperor?" Are you going to rebel? ”
A minister shouted: "When the new emperor ascends the throne, he must choose an auspicious day for the emperor, how can he ascend to the throne so casually?" Not in accordance with the rules. ”
"The empire is in danger, everything is simple, who dares to kill blindly!" Ye Tong threatened fiercely.
Another minister said, "Is the edict true?" ”
After hearing this, Ye Tong directly smashed Hu Hai's handwritten edict on the minister's face, and scolded him sternly: "Open your dog's eyes and see clearly, this is the handwritten edict of the former emperor Hu Hai." ”
To put it mildly, most of the ministers in front of him hooked up with Zhao Gao, and some were even Zhao Gao's remnants. These people certainly don't want their children to be in power.
It's the edict of the first emperor!
The edict written by the emperor himself!
After Ye Tong signaled, Chen Qi opened the three wooden boxes and asked the ministers to take a look at the heads of Zhao Gao, Yan Le, and Zhao Cheng, otherwise, the ministers in front of him really didn't dare to help Ziying take the position.
Yes!
Prime Minister!
Prime minister!
There are a few people who openly call Prime Minister Zhao Gao and Prime Minister. Ye Tong signaled, Jiang Song drew his sword and slashed those people directly. Anyway, it is Zhao Gao's remnants, and they must be cleaned up, and cleaning up at this time can have a deterrent effect.
"Is there anyone else who disagrees? If not, hurry up and meet the new emperor! ”
When the ministers saw the heads of Zhao Gao, Yan Le, and Zhao Cheng, some courtiers who were loyal to Daqin immediately knelt down, some wall grass also quickly knelt down, and a small number of Zhao Gao's remnants were hesitating. However, the swords of Jiang Song, Han Xin and others did not wait for anyone, and immediately killed those who were hesitant.
Anyway, the big seals of Xianyang Ling and Lang Zhongling were controlled by Ye Tong, and the soldiers and horses in Xianyang City and the palace were already under control. If you want to make waves, stop dreaming.
After chanting long live, Ziying officially ascended the throne and let the ministers be flattened.
After the cumbersome procedures were completed, Ziying was considered the real emperor of the Qin Empire. The ministers couldn't find the jade seal of the heirloom country, and suspected that it was snatched by Zhao Gao. At present, it has not been found, so it can only be asked to let Emperor Ziying use his personal jade seal to represent the imperial power first.
Although Ziying was on the throne, seeing that the ministers were filming all kinds of sycophants again, Ye Tong was completely speechless. Ah, the Qin Empire is facing the destruction of the country, and the ministers don't seem to care, and they are all talking about small things that are big about sesame. Is there any hope for such a government?
Fortunately, after Ziying ascended the throne, he first named Ye Tong as a lieutenant and a general, and was in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. Ye Tong, who achieved his goal, originally wanted to flash people, but when he saw that the ministers were not talking about business, they were talking nonsense, and he was so angry in his heart! There's really nowhere to vent.
"Your Majesty, there are a few things that must be done immediately." Ye Tong stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Ye Aiqing, please speak!" Ziying knew that Ye Tong wanted to discuss the matter.
"Your Majesty, first of all, we must immediately announce the crimes of the former Emperor Hu Hai to the world, and in addition, we must announce the crimes of Zhao Gao and others. Let everyone in the world know that those bad things were done by Zhao Gao and others, and now that the new emperor is on the throne, it has been corrected.
The second is to grant amnesty to the world and win the hearts and minds of the people. His Majesty will personally visit some officials in the prison who have been persecuted and defiled by Zhao Gao and others, and personally pardon and release them.
The third is to reduce rents and taxes, reduce the burden on the people, and rectify some excessively strict laws to make them a little more relaxed. It can be regarded as a correction to the reign of the former emperor Hu Hai!
The fourth is to immediately clean up the remnants of Zhao Gao, whether it is in Xianxu City, or in the surrounding counties and counties, soldiers and horses must be sent to clean up and completely remove the residual poison of Zhao Gao and his gang.
Fifth, send messengers to give heavy rewards to the two generals Zhang Han and Wang Li, and it is best to let the two generals bring their soldiers and horses back to Guanzhong to strictly prevent the attack of the judgment army. If Guanzhong can be ensured, then the revival of the Qin Empire is expected.
Sixth, to raise gold and silver, the official wanted to recruit troops as soon as possible, and sent a large army to garrison Wuguan and Qin Pass (Hangu Pass) to resist the attack of Liu Bang, Xiang Yu and other judgment troops.
Seventh, make preparations for the retreat of Hanzhong, Shu County, and Ba County, and mobilize the people in Guanzhong and Luoyang areas to relocate Hanzhong, Shu County, and Ba County. Tell the people that after moving to Hanzhong, Shu County, and Ba County, they will be given free land and exempted from all taxes for five years. On the way, the court gave food for free and was responsible for security affairs.
Eighth, Luoyang and Guanzhong are fortified and clear, and they do not give the judgment army a trace of food, and when the time comes, hundreds of thousands of judgment troops will have no food to eat, and they will naturally blossom - each will go back to his own home. After the various judgment armies are dispersed, they will take the opportunity to recover Guanzhong. ”
"Quasi-play!"
Next, the ministers had to obediently study Ye Tong's strategy, although some people opposed the retreat of Hanzhong, Shu County, and Ba County, but no one dared to take care of Guanzhong to resist the attack of the judgment army.
Ye Tong put another bombshell and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't have too much hope for Zhang Han's 200,000 army, as far as this official knows, Zhang Han's subordinate Sima Xin has already secretly taken refuge in Xiang Yu. There is a spy staying in Zhang Han's army, and it would be good for Zhang Han's army to protect itself. ”
