Chapter 17: Shocking the Ministers
After speaking, Ying Zheng no longer paid attention to the commotion of the hundred officials, but looked at Xiaodouzi and said, "Prepare the incense burner." ”
"The minions obeyed. Xiaodouzi hurriedly bowed, then stood up, quickly disappeared into the main hall, and after a while took two little eunuchs to the main hall with a table, a bronze incense burner on the table, and a sandalwood incense was smoking.
The incense case was placed in front of the hundred officials, like a talisman, reminding them at all times.
"Little beans. Ying Zheng saw that the incense case was ready, and the position was very much in line with his mind, and he shouted again.
"The minions are here. Little Beanzi hurriedly responded.
"Prepare a mouthful of giant ding, pour it full of oil, light a fire to cook it, and the oil should boil. Ying Zheng's voice was very cold, and his eyes were indifferent.
Xiao Douzi shuddered, didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly said, "The slave obeys." ”
Ying Zheng's words were like a flying knife, piercing into the hearts of hundreds of officials, and the words hit their hearts.
"Imperial Doctor Feng Zheng. Ying Zheng shouted directly.
A middle-aged minister behind Li Si stood up and bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "Minister...... In ......" It's just that his voice trembled a little, his face was very pale, and he didn't dare to look up at Yingzheng.
"You are the head of the officials, and you have the heavy responsibility of supervising the hundred officials of the Great Qin, what do you say?" Ying Zheng's tone was very flat and tepid.
"Minister...... The minister gave evidence, and His Majesty was under the law. A trace of sweat fell from Feng Zheng's forehead from his pale face, and the hands that were put together in front of his chest trembled slightly.
Say. Ying Zheng's voice was still very flat.
"Yu Shi Zhongcheng, Fan Li. Feng Zai was haggard and frightened at this time, and hurriedly said a name.
"Your Majesty, the imperial historian Feng Zheng spewed blood, the minister was wronged, and the minister was willing to provide evidence. Behind Li Si, another civil official stood up, bowed to Ying Zheng, and then glared at Feng Zheng with a look of resentment.
"Oh, who are you adducing?" Ying Zheng showed a sneer on his face, but he was a little sad in his heart, and he sighed with emotion, is this human nature?
"The minister gave evidence that the imperial historian Feng Zheng had accepted bribes from the second son, ten thousand taels of gold, and ten boxes of jewelry. "In the imperial history, Cheng Fan Li was not to be outdone.
"Fan Li, you also received Zhao Gao's benefits, don't want to spew blood. Imperial Doctor Feng Zheng immediately retorted.
"Shut up. Ying Zheng frowned slightly when he saw the two arguing with each other.
"The minister is guilty. The two were taken aback and said in unison.
"Hmph, someone came to take down these two people, stripped them of their official uniforms, and put them in prison pending trial. After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he waved his hand.
The four guards skillfully took off the official uniforms of the two of them, and then drove the two of them out of the main hall like chickens.
"The incense has been extinguished, since you refuse to admit your guilt, once this matter is investigated and dealt with, it will all be dealt with according to the laws of Great Qin, and it will not be tolerated. Ying Zheng snorted coldly, then looked at the official who had fainted on the ground, and said to the guards, "Strip this off of the official uniform, put it in prison, and await trial." ”
Soon two more soldiers stripped the unconscious official of his clothes and then carried him out of the palace of the Qin Emperor.
"Li Changqing. Ying Zheng shouted again.
"The minister is here. Li Changqing stood up with a flat face, without a trace of fear on his face, but he was very respectful.
"I have appointed you as the Imperial Doctor, supervising the hundred officials, do you have the confidence to do a good job?" Ying Zheng looked at him and asked directly.
"Minister, Li Changqing, will definitely live up to the trust of His Majesty, his liver and brain will be smeared, and he will die. Li Changqing is neither humble nor arrogant, and is very conceited.
"Okay, I will crown you as the new Imperial Doctor, ranked as the Ninth Emperor. Ying Zheng nodded appreciatively, and then continued, "This time the case of Zhao Gao's henchmen is fully handed over to you to deal with, and the investigation will only require the result, do you understand?"
"Minister, thank Your Majesty for your grace. Li Changqing knelt down, bowed three times, and then raised his head and said to Yingzheng, "Minister, understand, you must live up to Your Majesty's expectations, but if the minister has a request, I hope Your Majesty will agree." ”
"Oh, talk to me about the conditions?" Ying Zheng felt very interesting, this Li Changqing was really different, the civil and military officials were all cold and frightened in front of him, and even Li Si was also afraid and cautious.
"Minister, don't dare, but Your Majesty will not allow it, minister, the status is low, not enough to serve the public. Li Changqing still went his own way and said without scruples.
Ying Zheng understood what he meant, thought about it slightly, and still pretended to be confused, "What do you want?"
"I don't ask for power, but I ask for a holy decree from Your Majesty. Li Changqing was vague.
"Okay, but when I talk about the ugly things in the front, what if I check and find no results? Ying Zheng said with a point.
"Outside the palace, the ministers are going to do it!" Li Changqing was categorical, without the slightest fear on his face, and said a trivial matter at all.
"Well, full of courage, I don't know if I have more than enough intelligence. Ying Zheng nodded, and then said, "Stand down!"
"Minister, obey the order. Li Changqing thanked him and slowly retreated to his original position.
"You all get up!" Ying Zheng glanced at the hundred officials who were still kneeling on the ground, and said indifferently.
"Your Majesty. The hundred officials suddenly felt as if they were about to be amnestied, hurriedly thanked them, and then returned to their original positions, standing quietly, still with lingering palpitations.
"Lees. Ying Zheng looked at Li Si again and shouted.
"The minister is here. Lees walked out again and bowed.
"Take the second son, Hu Hai. Ying Zheng frowned, and his tone was a little unnatural.
"Obey. Li Si bowed, then slowly took a few steps backwards, then turned around, walked straight to the door, and quickly disappeared outside the main hall.
Ying Zheng waited patiently, for Hu Hai, he was very complicated in his heart. Historically, he hated Hu Hai very much, but the memory of the first emperor favored Hu Hai. It's not because it's the youngest son, but because Hu Hai has been extremely smart since he was a child, and he is diligent and studious, and cunning like a fox. knows forbearance, is ruthless, has the demeanor of an emperor, and is very loved by the first emperor.
But the mind is more than enough, and the overall situation is lacking. The First Emperor had been hesitating between Fusu and Hu Hai in choosing an heir, precisely because both had different imperial qualities. This cruise, with Hu Hai, is also to visit Hu Hai in the last time.
After a while, Li Si ran up to the hall in a panic, but he didn't see Hu Hai.
"Your Majesty. Li Si's tone was a little nervous, and his expression was very unnatural.
"What's the matter, what about the second son?" Ying Zheng frowned, a little unhappy.
Li Si showed fear on his face and opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to speak, and it seemed that it was very difficult to speak.
"I, what do I want to say to you?" Ying Zheng reminded angrily.
"Chen Li Si is guilty, please punish Your Majesty. Li Si was taken aback by Ying Zheng's angry tone, and hurriedly pleaded guilty.
"What's the crime?" Ying Zheng suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and asked lightly, from seeing Li Si enter the hall alone, he had a trace of speculation in his heart.
Li Si knelt down and said, "Second son...... The second son, he..."He really didn't know how to explain Lu Dao, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
"How's he doing? Ying Zheng sighed, he didn't know why he sighed, did he regret it?
