Chapter Twenty-Four: Parade in the Streets! The new court lieutenant Feng Tuo

On the 18th day of the reign of Qin III Yingziying

Noon

Ying Ziying's family of four was having lunch in the "Ziyun Palace" of King Qin's bedroom, when suddenly a Qin general arrived and entered the palace to report

Qin III and others learned that General Zhang Chang was leading 10,000 Qin soldiers and arresting 100 judges, and had passed the east gate of the city and was coming in the direction of Xianyang Palace

If according to its travel speed, it will arrive at the east gate of Xianyang Palace after more than half an hour

Ying Ziying and Jing Yu were overjoyed when they heard this, and they couldn't finish their meals, so they quickly walked to the east gate of Xianyang Palace with the palace guards

After King Qin and the others arrived outside the palace gate, they were guarded by five hundred palace guards.

As the sun grew stronger at noon, the two of them were both excited and a little anxious

Suddenly, at the turn of the wide street a kilometer away on the left, several Qin generals dressed in blue armor and riding tall horses suddenly appeared and were slowly approaching the palace gate

As the leading generals crossed the corner, they were followed by a long black dragon, each of the black-armored Qin soldiers was holding spears, majestic and imposing...

I saw several generals on horseback leading the black dragon to the palace gate, and the street of more than a kilometer still did not accommodate the black dragon

Ying Jingyu saw the young and strong blue-armored general at the head, who else could it be if it wasn't General Zhang Chang?

In addition to him, there are eight middle-aged and young generals who seem to have never seen them, and they should be Qin generals who stayed behind to be loyal to Great Qin during Zhang Chang's collection of troops

Behind the horseback generals were more than 20 wooden prison cars, each of which was stuffed with four or five people, all dressed in gray prison uniforms, with their hair scattered and unsightly

The nine generals who were at the forefront, when they were still more than 20 meters away from King Qin, suddenly dismounted and handed the reins to the soldiers at their sides

After Zhang Chang dismounted, he walked quickly to Qin III with eight Qin generals, and when he was three meters away, the generals knelt down on their knees and said: "Zhang Chang greets the king, meets the son!" ”

And the eight Qin generals behind Zhang Chang also shouted: "The last general will meet the king!" ”

Qin III hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhang Chang: "General Zhang, please get up, all the soldiers, please get up." ”

After General Zhang Changzhu got up, Ying Ziying continued: "General Zhang was ordered to be in danger and set the Great Qin, which is actually the first hero since I have Qin. ”

Zhang Chang hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed: "King, it is the duty of subordinates to maintain Great Qin." It is the honor of Chang for the king and the prince to trust Chang, and they dare not take the first place. ”

Ying Jingyu also walked over with a smile and said: "With the general's merits, I can't praise it enough." Are all the people in the prisoner car the Dong clan's cronies? ”

Zhang Chang said: "Yes, son, these are all thieves who were raised by sergeants or refused to accept the king's orders, a total of 105 generals. For the ministers, they will all be escorted to Xianyang, and they will be punished by the king's orders! ”

Ying Ziying turned to look at Jing Yu and said, "Yu'er, since the criminals have been sentenced, when will the punishment be appropriate?" ”

After thinking for a while, Jing Yu arched his hand and said: "Father, the rebellious minister's sentence has revealed his crimes, and the ironclad evidence of the chaotic Qin can be found at your fingertips. Yu expects to be able to collect all the incriminating evidence by noon tomorrow. ”

"Yu Zhijian, you can behead Ling Chi's criminal ministers tomorrow! parade through the streets, and after announcing his guilt, he was beheaded in front of the public according to the laws of Qin. Don't delay the day..."

Ying Ziying, Zhang Chang and others were all shocked when they heard this, and Ziying said, "Is it so fast?" ”

Jing Yu said: "Yes, father, if the traitor is not punished for one day, then we will not be right when we enter the Xianyang Palace, and the old Qin people are kept in the dark, and there is no interest in winning people's hearts." ”

"After tomorrow's criminal ministers are punished and punished, my father and queen will be able to summon the territory of Guanzhong and ascend the throne of King Qin the day after tomorrow! Only in this way can the old Qin people return to their hearts and implement the future policies more smoothly. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Chang also agreed: "What Gongzi said is extremely true, if you deal with the criminal according to the past, you will need to wait for time. But this is not the end of the day, and only this move can deter people faster. ”

Ying Ziying nodded and said, "Okay!" Since the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages, let's follow Yu'er's policy... King Lone ordered that tomorrow all the ministers sentenced to death will be sentenced to death after parading through the streets! ”

"No, King!"

Ziying stepped forward and patted Zhang Chang's shoulder, and said with relief: "General Zhang, generals, quickly enter the palace with Gu, Gu has ordered someone to hold a banquet, and I will gather with you today." Hahaha..."

Zhang Chang knelt on the ground at the same time with the eight generals behind him, and said excitedly: "No! Command! ”

......

On the 19th day of the reign of Qin III Yingziying

After noon, the streets of Xianyang City were bustling, with vendors shouting, bargaining, shrews scolding... It's endless, and it's very lively

Because the king of Qin ordered that in the future, the people and merchants in the city will not be allowed to go out of the city gate

Not only that, the businessmen and nobles who recently left Xianyang and wanted to go out of the customs to the Kanto region heard that important passes such as Hangu Pass and Wuguan have now been closed

As a last resort, on the long distance between Xianyang and the two passes, there was a lot of traffic, and they reluctantly returned to Xianyang City or stayed in Linxian County.

Xianyang City is now only in but not out...

At this time, the people on the streets of Xianyang were hiding on both sides of the street in fear, because there was a long dragon that could not be seen and began to wander throughout Xianyang City

The spear-wielding lightly armored Qin soldiers walked on both sides of the street, and in the middle of the street were single-horse prisoner carts, each wooden gate prisoner cart was stuffed with five or six people, including old, middle-aged, and juvenile... Woman...

There were more than 30 prison carts, and the prisoner vans were followed by men and women in gray prison uniforms, with disheveled hair and shackles on their hands and feet...

The people in the city who saw this situation suddenly realized that the turmoil in Xianyang yesterday was related to these sinners. But what's going on? The crowd is still unknown

Suddenly, nearly a million people in Xianyang City walked out of their homes one after another, talking to each other, gossiping and rumors...

After the Qin soldiers escorted the nearly 1,000 people who had committed capital crimes around the streets, they stopped in the largest square in the city, and the Qin soldiers gathered nearly 1,000 prisoners together and surrounded them with spears

The street in front of the square is now full of people, all to see the excitement, after a while, more and more people gathered in the square and nearby streets, crowds of people, under the eye, there are probably more than 20,000 people

I saw a middle-aged black-faced man in an official robe and said loudly: "In the first year of the third year of Qin's concubine, the king's order!" ”

After the middle-aged man dressed in the robe of the law enforcement court lieutenant finished his first sentence, the people watching the excitement below suddenly fell silent, and they all looked up at the middle-aged man who was holding a black silk cloth Wang Zhao

This middle-aged man's name is Feng Tuo, the second son of Feng Zao, the former imperial historian, who likes to study the laws of the country and Qin since he was a child, and has some natural insights

When he was in his 20s, under the recommendation of Feng Zai, the First Emperor valued his talent in person. ordered Feng Tuo to follow Li Si and assist him in implementing and upholding the Great Qin Criminal Law Order

Feng Tuo was a low-key official at the end of the First Emperor, and his ability was outstanding. In the end, he was promoted to the post of Shaofu by the First Emperor and ranked in Jiuqing...

Although he is in the same rank as Li Siting, his responsibilities are very different, and Feng Tuo still has to obey Li Si's orders. The First Emperor also had the idea of letting Feng Tuo take over Li Stingwei in the future...

But since the violent death of the First Emperor, Zhao Gao, Li Si and others began to cause trouble in the court, not only killing the children and descendants of the First Emperor. After the two consulted, they also targeted the important ministers and generals loyal to the royal family in the court

And the old prime minister Feng Zai did not escape Zhao Gao and the others, and listed the evidence that Feng Zai wanted to rebel in front of Hu Hai.

Feng Zheng and other important ministers couldn't stand such slander and slander, so they chose to commit suicide to prove their innocence... Therefore, the Feng family escaped the catastrophe

Since the death of Feng Zheng and other obstacles, Zhao Gao has not let Li Si go, and his power has expanded infinitely, and he has been able to influence the fate of Great Qin and King Qin...

Zhao Gao ordered Qin II to order the abolition of Feng Tuo's post as the Shaofu of Jiuqing, demoted him to the head of Qian, and thought about it behind closed doors

...

It's just that gold can always be recognized by Bole, and when Qin III Yingziying entered the Xianyang Palace yesterday, hundreds of officials and courtiers all rushed into the palace hall and bowed to King Qin

Qin III looked at this group of nine rice bags that had obtained important positions by tending to the flames and buying officials and selling lords, and he couldn't wait to cut them with a sword

Hundreds of courtiers, but not one of them can be reused... But the ministers are just a bunch of bloodsuckers, and their crimes are not punishable

Therefore, they have no choice but to leave them first, and wait for the future to find more talented people and replace them one by one

However, Ying Ziying had known Feng Zai and Feng Tuo earlier, and although they did not have a deep friendship, they also knew a little about the loyalty of the Feng family to Daqin.

Feng Tuo is a low-key and introverted person, quite talented and very knowledgeable about current affairs

The king of Qin immediately ordered someone to go to Feng Tuo's residence and invite him to the palace to discuss matters.

After some discussion, Qin III made a decision on the spot and ordered Feng Tuo to appoint the position of Great Qin Tingwei to take charge of Great Qin's criminal responsibility!
