Chapter Eighty-Six: The Tyrannical First Emperor
In 239 B.C., there was a severe drought west of the Wei River in the territory of Qin. From the beginning www.biquge.info of summer to the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was no rain and dew, the crops were not harvested, and the people were hungry and could not live. Therefore, the family moved to the east of the Wei River to the area of Tianshui, Longnan, Shaanxi and Baoji in today's Gansu Province, and the local people were more or less affected by the drought, and the surplus grain was not enough for more than 10,000 people to share.
As a result, the refugees were forced to starve for a long time and clashed with the local government. And the local government also had to consider the local area and war preparedness, and did not dare to open the granary, so people often died. LΓΌ Buwei, who was far away in Xianyang, knew about this, so Yingzheng, who was in a hurry to ask for instructions, went to the disaster area to treat the drought two months ago.
LΓΌ Buwei knew that he was now at the most important moment for Qin. All countries stared at Qin with fierce eyes, fanning the aborigines who had just occupied and there were often riots, and the Qin people who had immigrated to the past were panicked. Seeing that this year has passed, next year's spring festival will be the adult enthronement ceremony of King Yingzheng of Qin, and it will be bad if something goes wrong in the abdomen at this time.
Because of this, he hurried away with his cronies despite the long distance.
At this time, the twenty-one-year-old Ying Zheng was sitting on the top of the main hall, taking off his childish face and looking resolute and determined. He frowned slightly and looked at the civil and military officials under his feet, and said in his heart, "It seems that this way of governing the country still needs to be studied urgently, and it is really tiring these days when Xiangguo is away!" β
At this time, the CRRC doctor Qi Lingshan said, "King, Lord Xiangguo has not returned for a long time, and the people in this court are impetuous, and the ministers feel that it is safer to choose a temporary Xiangguo!" β
Ying Zheng's lips curled slightly, this civil and military officials all know that you Qi Ling is Chang Yu's eagle dog, and now when you say this, don't you think that Han Xin is waiting to sit in the position of the prime minister? But although he knew it in his heart, Ying Zheng said slowly, "I never thought of this, who is up to the task?" β
Qi Ling saw that Yingzheng was not angry, so he stabilized his tone and said, "Back to the king, this temporary subordinate feels that he should give the young man more exercise, so that he can be reused in the future." Therefore, Chen Mao recommended himself, and Chen Juechen was the best candidate for this temporary minister. β
"Hahaha!" Ying Zheng looked up to the sky and laughed when he heard this, thinking that this Qi Ling was also bold and reckless, and the official was going to come to him.
Seeing that Yingzheng was just laughing, Qi Ling didn't reply to himself, and he was anxious. It's easy for people to lose their brains when they have lost their sense of proportion, just like Qi Ling hasn't seen that Yingzheng is angry at this time, but he still said, "I don't know what the king wants?" β
"Bastard!" Ying Zheng stopped laughing, slapped his palm on the wooden table in front of him, and shook the bamboo slips placed in the court today. Looking at Ying Zheng's eyebrows upside down and his face was red, he didn't expect that these ministers of the current dynasty were as brainless as Chang Yu. It's easy to say, it's empty, but although this person can't mess up the court, it is also Yingzheng's own face, how can he not be angry.
It was the first time for Baiguan to see Ying Zheng so angry, and he thought that Ying Zheng was just a child as before. It's just bent over. The surrounding eunuchs didn't pack up the bamboo slips in time, giving people the feeling of being lazy and swallowing slowly. This time, the fire in the backlog of Yingzheng was completely ignited, and the road of tyrannical rule began.
When Ying Zheng was twenty years old, LΓΌ Buwei approved Ying Zheng to select thousands of strong martial artists from Meng Tian's army to replace them with the Janissaries of the former king. These soldiers were suddenly transferred from the battlefield to the rear palace, and in addition to rejoicing in their good luck, they were also grateful to Yingzheng, so they were loyal to Yingzheng.
At this time, 500 of this 1,000-strong army were standing in front of the court as the honor guard and security guard in front of the palace, ready at all times. After standing like this for a year, they will also witness the tyranny of King Yingzheng of Qin today.
To get back to the point, Ying Zheng felt that these officials were not afraid of him at this time, and he treated himself like a child. Even the first subordinate dared to do this, only to see him shouting, "The king of the Praetorian Guard enters the palace to listen to the order!" β
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a person wearing black armor, a black helmet, and a white feather on the top of the helmet. Specially approved by Yingzheng, he came with a sword at this time. I saw him go straight to the center of the main hall, kneel on one knee and clench his fists and bow, "See the king!" β
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Behead all the subordinates in the hall!" β
"What? This palace is not less than half a hundred, so it is beheaded? The officials were not happy all of a sudden, but no one dared to say it. Just when the hundred officials hesitated, the king Duwei received the order and went out to call someone. was so frightened that all the people in the palace knelt on the ground facing Yingzheng, crying and begging for mercy.
Suddenly, there was a young man, about thirty years old. I saw him step forward and say, "King, this is not appropriate!" β
Ying Zheng said: "What's wrong! β
The young man said, "No, there are two! First, if the king orders people to kill innocent people before he officially governs, he will be said to be tyrannical by the king. Second, the king is only afraid that the hundred officials will not be convinced, and he may not be able to concentrate on assisting after the king takes power in the future! β
Ying Zheng said again, "Interesting, who are you?" β
The young man said, "Your Majesty's name is Zhang Yu." β
At this time, Wang Duwei had already taken the Praetorian Guards to the palace, and Ying Zheng waved his hand to signal him to stop. Ying Zheng said to Zhang Yu, "Okay, the widow let you die!" The widow above the court was so angry, but he stood upright in the hall without changing his face. When the widow was young, remember that if your Xiangguo Lord was angry, he would kneel on the ground and hold him on the ground. Do you feel that the power of the widow is not as good as that of the kingdom of the widow, or do you think that the widow is a nest made by the king? The other manager overturned Chao Jian with one palm, and these subordinates did not quickly put it away! Could it be that even this person thinks that he can't be a good deceitful? β
Zhang Yu said: "The king is a little biased in saying this, and the hundred officials and subordinates are guilty, but they will not die!" β
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "The widow said that they would die, and they would die!" Suppress these people, and in addition, the CRRC government order will be pulled down together to punish the nine clans. Zhang Yu remembers his loyal advice and scepter for thirty! β
The hundred officials dared to stand again at this time, and they all knelt down with Wang Duwei, "The king is three or four!" But Wang Duwei replied, "Oh! Besides, Qi Ling, at this time, his face turned green with fright, and he lay on the ground and cried, "The king spares his life!" β
Ying Zheng didn't look at all the officials, waved his hand and said, "Xiangguo will go to Xianyang at noon today, if you have anything to do with him, the widow is unwell, retreat from the dynasty!" With that, he got up and walked out of the courtroom. Ying Zheng's sentence contains three points, which can be described as clever. First, he told the hundred officials that LΓΌ Buwei was coming today, and asked the hundred officials to find LΓΌ Buwei. To tell the truth, LΓΌ Buwei has been in power for many years, and Yingzheng said in his heart that he was not at ease with him, he had already arranged eyeliner, just to see what kind of attitude he had when he killed people and hundreds of officials.
Second, this physical discomfort is to tell Baiguan that he will not see anyone again today, so that they can dispel the idea of coming to him, that is, to force them to see if they will jump off the wall in a hurry.
Third, the hundred officials and the beheading went out of the court together, and the hundred officials will definitely be able to see the scene of the execution, which will have the effect of killing chickens and respecting monkeys. I have to say that although this Yingzheng is young, he is scheming. It must be said that he is a treacherous monarch, of course, it is because of these various things that Yingzheng can meet the historical needs of the time, so he can become the first emperor!
After seeing the bloody scene "unintentionally", the hearts of the hundreds of officials can be described as turbulent. Now it's time for a son of heaven and a courtier, and no one knows who Yingzheng's butcher's knife will be pointed at. Wise people choose to go back to the house to drink tea to suppress their shock, but only the ignorant people are waiting at the door of Xiangguo's mansion.
LΓΌ Buwei's convoy was still an hour away from Xianyang, when a man in black appeared in LΓΌ Buwei's chariot and said in a panic: "Lord Xiangguo, something is wrong!" β
Lu Buwei has been away from home for a long time, and he wants to go back today, he is in a very happy mood, and he said with a smile, "Don't worry, take your time!" β
Who knew that when the man in black told Lu Buwei what happened in the court today and what Ying Zheng said when he took him away, Lu Buwei was completely dumbfounded, and hurriedly threw down the teacup in his hand and called the guards in. When the guards came in, it was the man in black, but he disappeared quietly. Lu Buwei said, "Stop quickly, I'll wait here to rest, and then enter Xianyang at ten o'clock at night." β
As soon as he said this, a guard outside interrupted his words, "Lord Xiangguo, the king has sent someone to pick us up!" β
Lu Buwei suddenly spread out on the chair and muttered, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your move is really a second." I hope I don't open my eyes and bump into my arms! β
At the same time, the long letter was in the house. Chang Yu was pampering the woman who was sent by Qi Ling yesterday, but she was completely lost by a sharp knock on the door.
"Who!"
"My lord, it's me, Break the Cocoon! There may be drastic changes today, so I am here to report! β
"Come in!" The voice fell, and he broke through the cocoon and pushed the door in. I saw a half-naked woman lying in Chang Yu's arms, and she was beautiful and moving, especially a pair of fox eyes. Breaking the cocoon, he coughed dryly and said, "My lord, Qi Ling has been punished by the Nine Clans!" β
"What?" As soon as Chang Yu heard that Qi Ling was dead, he pushed the woman in his arms away, and the woman fell out of bed under the force, and the only black yarn on her body was also pushed by Chang Yu. Jiao screamed, lying on the ground with a red face and not daring to get up. But Chang Yu didn't care about it, just let the cocoon tell the story clearly.
After breaking the cocoon and telling the ins and outs of the matter, Chang Yu grabbed the clothes next to him and said while putting them on, "This Qi Ling is really bold, but Yingzheng, this kid knows that Qi Ling is my talent and the nine clans, no!" I'm going to see the Queen Mother. With that, he hurried out.
"This woman?" On weekdays, I am used to seeing countless beautiful women's cocoons, and today I don't know why I suddenly said one more word.
Chang Yu turned his head and glanced at the cocoon, and said, "Since you like it, I'll give it to you!" Don't worry, Lao Tzu hasn't recruited you yet! After saying that, he took a step and left, leaving the cocoon awkward to stand in the room at a loss.
ps: For breaking off with the previous for a long time, Xiaosheng is apologizing. In the future, even if Xiaosheng doesn't sleep at night, he has to finish updating every day, to be honest, the holidays are busier than school, and there are a lot of troubles. Finally, I still thank you for not canceling your collection and daily visits for so long, your support is the biggest motivation for Xiaosheng!
