And the day came, and the gates of the city were opened.

Qin II Hu Hai was still in this trance until he was "sent" to Li Zehua, and he couldn't believe that his teacher would buy himself so neatly and decisively.

Zhao Gao and Li Si once again made a rebellious move, they opened the city gate in the name of Qin II, so that the Qi army drove straight in, and took the first city in the world without difficulty. At the same time, there was also Zhang Han, the leader of the Shadow Guard.

The Qi army entered Xianyang, and Li Zehua also entered the front hall.

Xianyang City. Afang Palace. Front hall.

The officials on both sides of the civil and military affairs of the Qi State stood aside, and they were officials of the fifth rank or above, in an orderly manner, like a new dynasty.

"Congratulations! Congratulations to my lord! As soon as they went to the court, after everyone looked at each other, they said in unison, "There are 36 counties in Kyushu in the world, and my king has taken three of them, cleared Liuhe, and clarified the universe, just around the corner!" ”

When it's time to pat on the back, it's natural to pat on the back, and there will be no surprise to any military officials.

"The new Qi can become today, thanks to the work of the princes, this lonely should thank the princes, and then build this new Qi prosperous world." Li Zehua and the others congratulated, looked around, and Lang Lang smiled.

"Don't dare, Gai Yingwu King has a long fortune, he has the help of heaven, thanks to the work of my king, he should reopen the new world." And they praised again.

"There is no such lie between you and me."

Li Zehua laughed, and after the atmosphere was calm, he began to reward meritorious deeds.

Among the civil officials, Yan Xuefu's son was the prime minister of the left, and he was awarded the title of chief of the Dashu. Tian Taiguan to the Tai Lieutenant, and was awarded the title of Commander. Magistrate Tian ordered Lang Zhong to make a knighthood. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang each allowed him to be generals, and at the same time, the title was divided into the marquis of Guannei.

The public officials present were divided, and even Tian Yan, who had made contributions to this trip, was liquidated together with his previous merits, and was awarded the title of a young man as a woman, and the official was at least a government position.

This is thanks to Li Zehua being the Taizu of the Kai Dynasty and the Emperor immediately, otherwise ordinary emperors would not have the ability to make a woman a foreign official, and the official is Jiuqing.

But even so, Li Zehua also saw that some people frowned slightly, some were worried about Tian Yan's woman's body, and some were worried that Li Zehua's reward for meritorious deeds was really a little high, for example, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are now generals, and they are the marquis of Guannei. So what about making some more contributions, waiting? Or are you going to be king directly?!

However, this is also the result of Li Zehua's deliberate planning, and there is no need to say much about this point if he will be of great use in the future. And he forcibly suppressed everyone's chaotic thoughts, and then the sharp voice of the private eunuch announced the dispersal.

However, those courtiers below the second rank did disperse the dynasty, but some of the senior officials of the second rank and the first rank went to the Qianqing Palace, and at this time Li Zehua ordered his generals to come to power from the side door.

Li Zehua looked at the kneeling crowd in the audience, including some of his "old friends".

Qin II and others were dragged up from the magnet gate, but Li Zehua only glanced at it to confirm his identity, and then waved his hand to take him down, "Take him down to take care of him, but he will not be burdened, and he will be sent to Fusu in front of Fusu in the next day, as a heart." ”

The former owner of Xianyang City was taken down like this, and he couldn't even say a word. Then he looked at the rest of the people, that is, Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC Prefecture, Li Si, the right prime minister, and Zhang Han, the general. However, the real loyal ministers of Great Qin were already dead the moment the city was broken, and the rest of them were either life-saving or capable ministers that Li Zehua had coveted for a long time.

For example, Taiwei Wang Ben and Zuo Prime Minister Feng Qu said quickly, "The general will not be humiliated", and the general army and the prime minister cannot be insulted. So the two committed suicide together, and it was a pity that they didn't fall into the hands of Li Zehua.

But the remaining Shangqing Meng Yi and General Zhang Han did not have time to die, and they were all bound under the siege of the rebellious net. Or they were not completely loyal to Daqin, and they also fell into Li Zehua's hands together with Li Si and Zhao Gao.

The reason why Li Zehua did not summon these traitors in the early dynasty was to save some face for them.

"See my king, my king for ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years!"

Li Si was the first to kneel down and kowtow to take a strong lead, while Zhang Han followed. And Meng Yi was silent for a moment and then bowed his head and kowtowed, while Zhao Gao, who had always been clever, was unkempt and gray at this time, just following everyone with a wooden face, and never making much public performance. Although such a self-willed behavior can be seen through by people with a little eyesight, but this kind of behavior does make people feel much more comfortable.

The traitors who were really summoned by Li Zehua were the four of them, and these four of them left a shining name in history. And the rest are certainly talented, but they are not worthy.

"Do you know what sin is? Dare to call me king? Yan Xue looked down at the four people below and asked coldly.

"We are guilty."

"As a result, the people are miserable and the treasury is empty. Supporting the tyranny of Qin and cholera all over the world, grievances abounded. Fortunately, my king is merciful and sets things right, and now there is a talented king master who has entered this Xianyang. This exposes your crimes, and you can accept them. Yan Xue finished reciting the words on the bamboo slips, and rolled the bamboo slips into a ball unhurriedly.

"Yes." The four prostrate.

"You and other criminals are all demoted to hooligans, can you obey them?"

"Serve!"

"Gold and silver treasures, all the property of the mansion can be confiscated?"

"Serve!"

"Of course, my king is merciful, and he will also leave three cold houses for you to place for your family."

"My king has mercy, and we are obedient."

"But your sins should have been beheaded and shown to the public, and their three tribes should have been punished. But my king's heart is merciful and others are also talented people, who serve the court to atone for their sins. ”

"No!"

Li Si even grabbed the ground with his head, and the old tears were rampant, "If it weren't for Your Majesty to set things right, the criminal ministers don't know how long they will have to help Qin, Your Majesty will not come out, but what is the world, Your Majesty is expected by everyone." ”

"Master Li is right."

"Me too."

Li Zehua smiled slightly, it was rare for them to be able to say such things when they were oppressed to such an extent. It is said that "it is difficult to die for eternity", but it is not difficult for them to achieve their integrity once they die, but they also have to shelter the family, or other ideas, which restricts their impulse.

It's like a young man who can kill with a knife in a fit of anger, and blood is splashed in five steps. But if the anger at that time is over, after a night, under all kinds of thoughts, I will always think about 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty.

"Needless to say, we are all old friends. In fact, Lone is similar to the First Emperor, meritocracy, which is also the reason why you can survive. Li Zehua looked around at everyone, his eyes were cold and showed a smile, "It's good to take effect, make meritorious deeds, and naturally don't hesitate to reward." ”

This is also a slap and a sweet date. The Aronson effect, which is a psychological phenomenon that leads to a gradual negative attitude as the reward decreases and a positive attitude as the reward increases, is also applicable in ancient and modern times.

Li Zehua didn't think that he would be able to convince these proud sons, but as long as they were put to good use. One of the most valuable legacies of this Great Qin is these Qin officials.
