Chapter 13: The First Reign
After capturing Guo Tianlu, Yin Hong, Yang Jingluo, and Ji Liankai led the troops to clear the remnants of Guo Tianlu, and Ji Xuanling steadily controlled the situation.
At this time, he couldn't wait to rescue Zhang Lihua and Ruan Chengcheng.
While riding forward, Ruan Xinghe led the Iron Eagle Warriors to follow and protect.
After about half a cup of tea, the group arrived outside the Liyang Palace.
Hundreds of soldiers bravely guarded the palace gate with a lance and a sword, and most of the soldiers were detaining many eunuchs, and the CRRC guards came out of the Liyang Palace.
Seeing Ji Xuanling coming with his troops, the soldiers of the new army retreated and bowed to salute.
Ji Xuanling broke into the Liyang Palace, Wei Che led the troops out, and saluted respectfully: "The last general will meet the king!" ”
Patting Wei Che on the shoulder, Ji Xuanling asked impatiently: "Mrs. Nangong, where is Mrs. Wuyang?" ”
There was a war in the palace, and he was afraid that Zhang Lihua and the two would encounter an unwarranted disaster and be implicated.
"Your Majesty, the two ladies are safe and sound, waiting in the palace!" Wei Che reported.
"Hmm!"
Ji Xuanling answered and walked towards the palace.
Zhang Lihua saw Ji Xuanling striding into Liyang Palace, quickly got up and shouted, "Husband! I couldn't help but throw myself into Ji Xuanling's arms.
Ruan Chengcheng was a little angry, and quickly greeted him and saluted: "Wuyang, meet the king."
"It's all to blame for the bad of this king, so that you have been wronged!" Ji Xuanling's face was full of apologies, he picked up Ruan Qingcheng, hugged the two of them, and apologized sincerely.
Zhang Lihua, Ruan Tingcheng's beautiful eyes looked in all directions, and happened to see Ruan Xinghe with the Iron Eagle Ruishi guarding outside the palace, Zhang Lihua asked: "Husband, have you eradicated Guo Tianlu?"
"All the rebels and thieves, all ambushed!" Ji Xuanling said majestically.
"Nangong knew that her husband would succeed." Zhang Lihua said excitedly.
Ruan Tingcheng glanced at Ruan Xinghe, was filled with joy, and saluted and congratulated: "Congratulations to the king for eradicating the rebel party and ruling in person."
"Hahaha, you have contributed a lot to this battle!" Ji Xuanling praised from the bottom of his heart, and led the two of them softly and said, "Let's go, follow me to Zhangtai Palace and hold a court meeting." ”
"Is that okay?" Ruan Tingcheng tilted his head and asked.
The Great Qin royal family has long had rules that women are not allowed to interfere in politics, and Ji Xuanling took them to the court, which violated the ancestral system.
"No, this king said that he will treat you well in the future, so he will naturally believe in his words." Ji Xuanling looked at Zhang Lihua and Ruan Chengcheng, and stretched out his hand to hold the two.
Last night, Zhang Lihua and Ji Xuanling had a skin-to-skin relationship, and a heart was already placed on Ji Xuanling.
Ruan Qingcheng's heart will not be able to eliminate it for a while, but looking at Ji Xuanling's sincerity, he can't help but feel good and impressed.
The two sides put their hands in Ji Xuanling's palms, and the three of them went to Zhangtai Palace.
Zhangtai Palace.
The place where Daqin held a court meeting.
In the center of the main hall, Guo Tianlu and his main henchmen were tied up by the new army soldiers and knelt on the cold bluestone slab.
On both sides, civil and military officials knelt on soft cushions, holding the morning wat in their hands, facing the empty throne.
One by one, they were silent, panicked,
No one knows the hundred officials of the Qin State, no one knows, and the king is only a puppet of the CRRC government order.
Neither can he exercise the power of the emperor, nor can he personally govern and handle state affairs.
Such as marionettes, arbitrarily manipulated by the CRRC government.
During the sacrifice, the king openly exposed the conspiracy of the CRRC Decree, and with the support of the generals of the new army, he captured the CRRC Decree with a thunderbolt.
The general Yin Hong handed over the letter of commander of the army.
Lieutenant Wei Che led his troops to kill the Zhongche guards in the palace.
Yang Jingluo, the second general of Ji Liankai, led the new army to capture the commander of the new army loyal to the order of the CRRC government,
Today, the Black Flag Army, the New Army, the Iron Eagle Warriors, and the three strong forces of the Qin State are all in the hands of the young Son of Heaven.
Before the sacrifice, who would have thought that this young son of heaven, who was not as old as a weak crown and was imprisoned in the palace all the year round, would be able to unexpectedly eradicate the rebel ministers and recover the royal power during the sacrifice.
No one knows how long the king has been preparing and when he will win over Yin Hong, Wei Che, Yang Jingluo and other generals.
They vaguely feel that today's king must not be taken lightly, for fear that he has good intentions, courage and strategy.
In the panic of his thoughts, Ji Xuanling wore a royal hat, a python robe, a jade belt around his waist, and his feet were on his boots, and he walked from the side of the main hall with Mrs. Nangong and Mrs. Wuyang.
"Knock on the king, long live the king, long live the king!"
The Son of Heaven sat in the main hall, the rebel ministers knelt in the center, and the hundred officials bowed to the ground with their hands to perform the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers.
They panicked.
They are afraid.
No one knew what this powerful newcomer was thinking, and the unknown panic made them even more uneasy.
Among the hundreds of officials, the officials who were loyal to or attached to Guo Tianlu were even more trembling, kneeling in the soft cushion as if walking on thin ice.
"Ahem!"
Ji Xuanling's cough broke the silence in the palace.
The hundred officials looked up, Ji Xuanling got up from the throne, stood upright like a pine and cypress, stood in front of the jade steps, and commanded in a cold voice: "General Ruan, pronounce the verdict on Guo Tianlu's crimes..."
After receiving the order, Ruan Xinghe got up from the cushion, walked towards the center of the main hall, swept his cold eyes at Guo Tianlu, took out the accusations he had written earlier, and read them out one by one.
He once endured humiliation and showed loyalty to Guo Tianlu, so he naturally knew all about Guo Tianlu's past crimes.
Forming a party for personal gain, despotism and chaos in the country, framing loyalty, colluding with foreign enemies, plotting to kill the king...
The evidence of one crime after another is ironclad, not only are they all heinous crimes, but each crime is enough to divide Guo Tianlu's five horses.
After the indictment was read, nearly half of the civil and military generals in the court were involved in the crime.
"Tingwei!"
"Guo Tianlu and his henchmen have committed countless crimes, according to Qin Law, what crime should they be guilty of?" Ji Xuanling's eyes swept over the hundred officials one by one, and finally landed on Tingwei.
At this time, an elderly official on the left side of the hall got up from the cushion in panic and staggered to the center of the hall.
He served as a court lieutenant, but he was loyal to Guo Tianlu, and once snared the crime and killed the old prime minister.
When Guo Tianlu was in power, the more he framed hundreds of officials, the more he attacked the officials who resisted Guo Tianlu, and the more he was trusted by Guo Tianlu.
Today's new monarchy, what he did in the past is clearly knowing the law and breaking the law, and the crime is added to the first degree according to the Qin law.
Tingwei walked to the center of the hall in fright, his knees weakened, he knelt on the ground with a pop, and shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, and the minister deserves to die." ”
"Damn it..."
Ji Xuanling snorted and scolded angrily.
Daqin did not experience the Shang Dynasty reform, but there were others who changed the law, implemented the rule of law, re-ruled the country, implemented the system of three princes and nine secretaries in the imperial court, and established counties in the local area.
Over the years, Qin law has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, everyone is strict with themselves and lenient with others, and hundreds of officials obey the law and dare not take a step beyond the thunder.
Tingwei is in charge of the judiciary, but he knows the law and violates the law, which shows how seriously Guo Tianlu and his henchmen have damaged Qin Law and the rule of officials.
Without taking care of the court lieutenant, Ji Xuanling asked: "Who is proficient in Qin Law and stands up to tell the widow, how to deal with Guo Tianlu and his henchmen?" ”
