Chapter 553: Ying Zheng's regret, one by one gloating eyes
"The king is coming!"
"Hurry, hurry, get on your knees!"
On the street, the people who were originally noisy suddenly saw that the direction of the palace in the distance instantly quieted down, and when they turned their heads, they saw a sea of people, kneeling on the ground one after another.
Looked at.
As the people of Xianyang, Qin State, they didn't know why, so they reminded their relatives and friends, followed them, and knelt on the ground with their heads bowed.
"King Qin Yingzheng!"
"Yingzheng is here!!"
In addition to the people, scholars, and merchants of the Qin State, the scholars and merchants of other countries naturally did not kneel to Yingzheng, especially the people of Zhao and Wei.
As a country that had just been destroyed by the Qin State, these people who had lost the country not only did not have the habit of cultivating their own energy, but also did not have the heart to bow down to the government.
Anyway, there are scholars from Chu and Qi, so they don't believe it, and Yingzheng still has the heart to pay attention to them at the moment.
"Meet the King!"
"Meet the King!!"
On the streets of Xianyang City, not only the crowds of people knelt down, but in addition to the palace guards, all the Qin officials and all the iron cavalry soldiers also knelt towards Yingzheng.
Ying Kan, Jiu, and other iron cavalry generals also turned over and dismounted at this time and saluted Yingzheng.
And because Xun Shuo does not yet have a title and belongs to the people, so in the street, compared with other iron cavalry generals who raised their hands to salute, Xun Shuo also slowly knelt on the ground and saluted Ying Zheng.
The palace guards led by him, with a group of guard orders, led rows of palace guards holding Changge to step forward, and immediately took over the responsibility of guarding the surroundings.
Riding on the back of burly and strong war horses, one by one burly men in armor looked around sharply, not only with a sharp sword at their waists, but also with a curved bow in their hands.
The Qin State also has Qin crossbows, whether it is the most elite army, such as the iron cavalry under Bai Yan, or the iron eagle sharps that even Bai Yan is amazed by, they are all equipped with Qin crossbows.
And when these armor-piercing and bow-wrenching men appeared, whether they were the people in the streets, or the scholars of other vassal states, they almost immediately guessed their identity.
CRRC Fuwei!
Known as the most elite soldier in the entire Qin Empire, there is no one.
If the Qin State spent countless energy and time to select more than 3,000 iron cavalry elites, then the CRRC Fuwei would hollow out the entire Qin State and select the elite among the 800 elites.
"Your Majesty, it's here!"
Zhao Gao stopped the six horses pulling the carriage, and looked at the eunuch next to him who had already placed the carriage bench, Zhao Gao got out of the carriage, turned around slowly, and reported to Yingzheng in the carriage.
With Zhao Gao's words.
All the CRRC government guards, as well as the palace guards, all looked around vigilantly, whether it was the people kneeling on the ground in a sea of people, or those tall buildings, they were all carefully watched.
Li Si, Wei Yi, Chang Wenjun and other hundreds of officials also came to the front at this time, looking at the people around them, looking at the corpses that fell to the ground, and the scholars who were struggling on the ground.
on the carriage.
Ying Zheng slowly walked out of the carriage and stood in front of the carriage, Ying Zheng quickly noticed that in the distance among the many kneeling iron cavalry soldiers, the huge Ding.
Although he already knew that it was a fake tripod, however, Ying Zheng never thought that this fake tripod would be so big.
It's no wonder that Bai Yan saw such a big tripod after capturing Pengcheng, but he didn't expect it to be a conspiracy.
"Ying Zheng, you ordered Bai Yan to secretly find a fake tripod and send Xianyang to sacrifice to the sky, such a deceptive act to deceive the world, not afraid to laugh at the world? Laughing at posterity? In the name of deception? β
Ying Zheng had just stepped out of the carriage, and almost instantly, someone in the crowd suddenly stood up and shouted at Ying Zheng.
Such a move made the people who were kneeling on the ground around them raise their heads and look sideways.
Almost instantaneously.
The scholars from other places also stood up one after another, and some scholars from all countries who were originally standing also echoed, and everyone was questioning Ying Zheng, asking why Ying Zheng ordered Bai Yan to find a fake tripod and pretend to be a Kyushu tripod.
"Ying Zheng!"
"Yingzheng, you dare to deceive the sky, the sky will not tolerate it!"
The guards of the Xianyang Palace Guard, but they were not decorations, and when they saw those scholars standing up, they had already rushed forward and worked together to detain the scholars one by one, and those scholars were also struggling while shouting angrily at Yingzheng.
"Your Majesty!"
When Chang Wenjun, Wang Juan and others saw this scene, they naturally knew that so many people had died, and Yingzheng must not be allowed to kill all these scholars, after all, these people did not rush towards the Ding like the talented scholars, wanting to untie the black cloth of the Qin character covered by the big ding.
Therefore, the two hurriedly saluted Ying Zheng and reminded Ying Zheng to hold back the anger in his heart.
"Outnumbered?"
Ying Zheng looked at those scholars, his cheeks were full of sneers, his eyes were gloomy, it was not difficult to see the anger in them, but fortunately, his expression was not out of shape.
"Ladies and gentlemen, who are they? Can it be proved that the widow has such an order? But who is there to see the edict of the widow? β
Ying Zheng stood on the carriage and looked at the countless people of the Qin State who were kneeling on the ground around him, there were still a lot of people standing, the number was extremely large, and without exception, the clothes on those people were far better than the ordinary people of the Qin State.
After all, people in other places don't have much financial resources and experience, so they don't want to work hard along the way and come to Xianyang.
ββ¦β¦β
Ying Zheng looked to the other side again, pretending to be curious at those people.
This most direct confrontation, in the case of absolute justification, does not require any concern at all.
"I am a scholar from Jucheng in Qi country, Luqiu Zong! From Pengcheng! β
In the distance, Lu Qiuzong walked directly out of the street, looking at the two fierce-eyed palace guards coming, Lu Qiuzong did not have the slightest timidity, and let him escort him.
"If it weren't for King Qin's order, Lu Qiu couldn't understand, then Bai Yan, why did he slaughter the people of Yiting, and why did he destroy the Song family?"
Don't look at Lu Qiuzong didn't call Yingzheng by name, but what Lu Qiuzong said, the effect was much higher than that of others, first of all, Lu Qiuzong said that he was a Qi countryman, the second was from Pengcheng, and the third was that he knew about Bai Yan in Pengcheng.
This is also why, almost after Lu Qiu Zong spoke, everyone's eyes looked at Lu Qiu Zong.
Some silent old men finally found an opportunity at this time and spoke one after another.
"King Qin, Kyushu Ding, is the emperor Yu ordered people to make, meaning the world Kyushu, since ancient times, are of extraordinary significance, now inherited for more than a thousand years, how can it be replaced by a fake tripod! We also invite King Qin, don't be deceived by favored ministers! β
An old man with white hair was the first to speak, and his words were much better than those of the other young scholars, not only were they not so harsh, but they were also very gentle.
Even when many Qin officials heard this, they all started to talk about it, understanding the meaning of the old man's words.
If you want Ying Zheng to make the fake Ding public in front of the people of the city and countless scholars, if it is fake, if it is deceived by Bai Yan, Ying Zheng can tell the world in person.
on the streets.
Many old people also came forward.
And with the endless discussions, Ying Zheng didn't say a word, and waited patiently for everyone to finish speaking, before he looked into the distance, the iron cavalry general beside Ying Kan, and the scholar who had been kneeling on the ground.
"You are the one who escorted Jiuding to Xianyang?"
Ying Zheng asked.
At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, after the division of the princes of the world, all the vassal states had a habit no matter how they were annexed.
That is, any court discussion, or something that needs to be discussed, is first discussed by the people under him, and then decided by the princes and kings, even if the Qin State court is now deliberating, it has always adhered to this process.
Now.
In the face of the remarks of countless scholars, and in the face of those old men who came to Xianyang from other places and thousands of miles away, Ying Zheng did not reply in a hurry, but asked the two people who escorted Jiuding to Xianyang to speak.
Since Bai Yan sent the two of them here, then in the face of those people at this time, all the remarks of these two people represent Bai Yan.
"Back to the king, Xun Shuo, on the order of General Bai Yan, escort Jiuding here!"
Xun Shuo knelt on the ground, and after hearing Ying Zheng's inquiry, he raised his hand and saluted Ying Zheng without humility or arrogance.
Xun Shuo!
In just two words, it made many scholars of all countries, and even many officials of the Qin State discuss, and even Lu Qiuzong, who was captured, as well as those old men, as well as Kuang Jing, Chen Lao, Tian Lao and others in the distance in the crowd, all looked at each other in surprise, and then looked at the person who knelt on the ground in the distance, calling himself Xun Shuo.
As the old clan of the Qi country, they are not unfamiliar with the surname Xun, and they may not be able to remember the name Xun Shuo in the past, but once they hear it, they can think of its rumors and the identity of Xunzi's favorite grandson at the first time.
"Xun family's disciples, how can they have anything to do with Bai Yan?"
"That Xun Shuo, isn't the legend a trip to the rivers and lakes?"
This is almost the first thought in the minds of Qi Guoshi.
This can only be blamed in the past, Xun Shuo is too low-key, to what extent, it can be said that except for the iron cavalry generals, most of the iron cavalry soldiers and side riders did not pay much attention to Xun Shuo.
Even the people in Yanmen pay more attention to those generals who have titles and are very good at fighting.
Yanmen is still like this, not to mention the scholars and scholars of the Qi country.
Now.
Some shrewd people noticed that Xun Shuo called Yingzheng the king, not the king of Qin, this Xun Shuo did not have a title in the Qin State, that is to say, now Xun Shuo is under Bai Yan's account.
"Xun Shuo, the grandson of Xun Zi!"
Wei Yi and Wang Juan listened to the whispers of other officials at this moment, but their eyes were all looking at Li Si on the side.
Almost as soon as he arrived here, Li Si's gaze never left that Xun Shuo, his eyes seemed to be full of melancholy, as if he was recalling the past, but he didn't know if he was missing the days of Mengxue, or his teacher and Han Fei, or both.
"Excuse me!"
Ying Zheng glanced at Xun Shuo quietly and asked Xun Shuo to get up.
"Where did Ding get it from? But Jiuding? β
Ying Zheng watched Xun Shuo get up, looked at the covered Dading, and asked.
When Xun Shuo heard this, Xun Shuo, who had just gotten up, saluted Yingzheng again.
"Back to the king, this tripod is obtained by the general in Surabaya, and it is the ...... of Kyushu tripod"
Xun Shuo said to Yingzheng, but the voice just sounded, and before Xun Shuo could finish speaking, a loud shout suddenly came from in the distance.
"Ridiculous, this tripod is definitely not the real Kyushu tripod! I saw with my own eyes how Bai Yan fished from Surabaya! β
The sudden shouting made everyone look at it.
Li Si, Wei Yi, Wang Juan and others frowned one after another, and even Ying Zheng in the carriage couldn't help but look over when he heard someone say that he saw Bai Yan salvaging Ding in Surabaya with his own eyes.
Under the gaze of everyone.
Nie Kuan, dressed in a cloth robe, stood up from the crowd and walked around the people who were kneeling on the ground with curious faces.
"Songzi?"
"Why is Song Zi here?"
Seeing Nie Kuan, many of the iron cavalry soldiers who escorted Jiuding to Xianyang looked at each other with a surprised look on their faces and exclaimed in a low voice.
For this Song Zi, the soldiers still have an influence, after all, when they went to Surabaya to salvage Ding, it was this Song Zi who led the way, and the soldiers didn't understand why Song Zi, who should be in Pengcheng, was in Xianyang.
"Who are you? How could he see Bai Yan with his own eyes? β
Ying Kan glanced at the iron cavalry soldiers who were screaming in amazement, and after watching the palace guards bring Nie Kuan over, he frowned, looked directly at Nie Kuan and asked.
Seeing this, Nie Kuan signaled to let him go.
Under the guidance of Ying Kan's gaze, the two palace guards let go of Nie Kuan, and then saw Nie Kuan, bowing to Ying Zheng in the carriage not far away, turning around, looking around, and shouting in front of everyone.
"My name is Song Tzu! Previously in Surabaya, I heard the news of Jiuding, and then I was chased and killed, and my friend died, I was fortunate to be rescued by the scouts under General Bai Yan, and then led the way for Bai Yan and looked for Ding in Surabaya! At that time, I saw with my own eyes how Bai Yan fished in Surabaya! β
Nie Kuan said loudly.
And when he said this, Nie Kuan's eyes suddenly turned red.
"Then I found out ......"
Nie Kuan pointed at Xun Shuo, looked at Ying Zheng, and said with indignation on his face.
"The tripod of the Surabaya River is not Jiuding, but after Bai Yan ordered someone to win the tripod early, he was thrown into the Surabaya River, and my friends and I were also used and murdered by Bai Yan!"
Nie Kuan's sad cheeks seemed to hide indescribable pain, and in front of everyone, he told all the details of what had happened.
"It's really a fake ding!"
"I didn't expect it to be like this! It's actually a fake ding! β
"Kill people to win the top ~ this ......"
Hearing Nie Kuan's story, almost instantly, there were countless voices of discussion among the people, noisy, one after another, the people of this era, the things they learned were all passed on by word of mouth, so when they heard Nie Kuan's words, the people did not doubt it.
After all, there are Qin pawns, palace guards everywhere, and even so many civil and military officials who were rare to see in the past, all of them, even the king.
On such an occasion, how dare Nie Kuan tell a lie, besides, there are iron cavalry soldiers, if Nie Kuan tells a lie, he will definitely be exposed by the iron cavalry soldiers.
At this time.
Not to mention the other scholars, businessmen, and old men from all over the world, listening to Nie Kuan's words, they started to talk about it, and shook their heads slightly, even the people of Xianyang were all terrified by Bai Yan's methods.
According to Nie Kuan's words, Bai Yan should have ordered someone to kill people to win the throne first, and then deliberately threw it to Surabaya, and deliberately let the news go, and then arranged for someone to kill people and kill people, deliberately leaving Nie Kuan.
In the end, when he Bai Yan captured Pengcheng and searched for the Ding, someone happened to 'take' him to find the Ding!
"Although you saw Bai Yan fishing for the Ding, however, how did you know that Bai Yan ordered someone to kill people and seize the Ding?"
Ying Kan listened to the continuous discussions around him, frowned and asked, looking at this Song Zi with straight eyes.
"I grew up in Surabaya, his mother is from Shili Pavilion, I have known a friend since I was a child, named Song Jin, after the Song family, today, is also an orphan of the Song family, this matter is what Song Jin saw with his own eyes, how can it be fake!"
Nie Kuan listened to Ying Kan's inquiry, and replied without hesitation, looking at Ying Kan with sad eyes.
However, what Nie Kuan didn't know was that under his actions.
Almost instantly, Ying Kan guessed that there was something wrong with him.
First of all, the clothes on Nie Kuan's body are coarse cloth clothes, people from such a background came all the way to Xianyang, it seems that they are for revenge, and let the King of Qin and the people of the world make decisions for him, but the courage, tone, and eyes can't deceive people.
There was no dodge in those seemingly angry eyes.
But......
"Song Jin!"
When Ying Kan heard this name again, his heart was full of helplessness, now everything revolves around that Song Jin, and because of Song Jin, the situation that Bai Yan is facing is almost a dead end.
The matter of killing people and winning the throne, under the correction of these people, there is no justification at all.
"If King Qin doesn't believe it, the grass people have heard of their friend Song Jin, and occasionally say that the peak of the Song family has a corner and a mark! King Qin ordered someone to open the big ding, I can identify it! β
Nie Kuan shouted loudly to Ying Zheng in the carriage in the distance.
Nie Kuan's purpose is to tell the matter in front of all the people of Xianyang, as well as scholars and businessmen, and expose Ding in public, it is Song Ding, not Kyushu Ding at all.
And just as Nie Kuan was speaking, the old men who were originally in the crowd and were with Kuang Jing also walked towards the palace guards at this time.
"Who are you waiting for?"
The guard made Cui Ping frown slightly when he saw these old men.
When he learned that these old men were all from the Qi national scholar clan, and their clan was different from the ordinary scholar clan, Cui Ping couldn't help but glance at these old men, and listened to these old men's request to meet Yingzheng, Cui Ping thought about it, and asked the palace guard to report it.
on the carriage.
Ying Zheng listened to the palace guard's report, and frowned slightly.
Looking at the many old men in Qi clothes in the distance, Ying Zheng finally knew at this moment how many forces came because of Jiuding, and the many old men reported by the palace guards were all old people of Qi State, and now those old men are in Qi State, either countless protΓ©gΓ©s, or people with high morality, and the family origin can be traced back to a long, long time ago.
This is also the case, when the king of Qi got Jiuding and prayed to the sky, he would invite these families to go and worship with him.
Now that he learned that there were many old men and asked to see him, Yingzheng didn't understand his purpose, but when he thought of the fact that the Qin State was now, and even in the future, there was always a lack of scenes where scholars were officials.
Ying Zheng finally thought of the prestige of these old men in the Qi State, and asked the palace guards to invite people.
A moment later.
Chen Lao, Tian Lao and others passed by Ying Kan and others one after another, and came to a place not far from the carriage to salute Ying Zheng.
"King Qin, we heard that Qin got Jiuding, so we rushed from Qi State, now I heard that Bai Yan sent to Xianyang Ding, it is a fake Ding, and I heard the words of Song Zi, I am very worried, therefore, we have seen Jiuding with our own eyes, and now, I am willing to be the King of Qin, in front of the people of Qin, in front of the people of the world, to debate its truth or falsehood! In case the King of Qin is deceived and his reputation is damaged! β
After the ceremony, these old men did not hide it, and directly explained their intentions.
Immediately, a group of old men bowed to Yingzheng one after another, and they felt like asking Yingzheng with prestige.
Chang Wenjun stood beside Wei Yu, his eyes were keenly aware that in the crowd in the distance, Ji Sheng was also among them, and Chang Wenjun knew that it should be Ji Sheng who ordered Nie Kuan to come to Xianyang.
Looking at those other places, as well as the scholars of the various countries who wanted to speak one after another, and seeing that the people were also talking endlessly, Chang Wenjun didn't believe that Bai Yan could get the protection of Yingzheng and block the mouths of everyone in the world.
"Please also ask the king, order the Ding!"
"Ministers, please also ask the king, order the Ding!!"
Suddenly, there was a shout from the hundred officials, Chang Wenjun turned his head to look, and saw that more than half of the civil and military officials, more than half of the officials, were bowing to Ying Zheng and asking Ying Zheng to give an order.
Seeing this, Chang Wenjun couldn't help but glance at Wei Yu, Wang Xuan, Li Si and others, and they all quieted down.
The other side.
Ying Zheng, who was standing in the carriage, looked at the crowds of people, and then looked at those scholars, the elderly, and finally so many Qin officials, who also asked for Jianding.
Ying Zheng's heart was full of helplessness at the moment.
Once the Ding is applied, Ying Zheng knows the consequences, and everyone is in plain sight, not only the hundred officials, but also the corporal of the world, as the fake Ding is made public, everyone will look at him at that time, how to deal with Bai Yan.
"Your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng suddenly heard Wang Juan's voice, turned his head to look, and saw Wang Juan, who was wearing Shangqing's clothes, was also bowing his hand.
Ying Zheng knew what Wang Juan meant.
Looking at the big ding in the distance, which was covered by the black cloth of the Qin character, Ying Zheng's mind suddenly appeared that scholar named Wei Pang.
In the past, it was in Luoyin.
The dispute between Wei Pang and Bai Yan was remembered by Ying Zheng.
It's a pity that Bai Yan managed to destroy Wei, and even destroyed Wei for Qin at the cost of almost no casualties, but unfortunately, in the matter of Jiuding, Bai Yan not only did not have news of Jiuding, but was used by others and found a fake Jiuding to send to Xianyang.
"Win Kan, pass on the order of the widow......"
When Ying Zheng said this, he hesitated again, but after two breaths, he looked at the street, surrounded by people, and couldn't see the end, Ying Zheng's cheeks full of helplessness could only continue to speak.
"Jianding!"
Ying Zheng ordered.
With Ying Zheng's words, Wei Yu and Wang Juan breathed a sigh of relief.
"No!"
When Ying Kan heard Ying Zheng's order, he gave up, his face full of worry, but after glancing at Ying Zheng in the carriage, he still turned around.
And the rest of the old man, Nie Kuan, and those scholars from other vassal states, looked at Ying Kan, with a dozen palace guards, walked towards the big ding that was covered, and glanced at each other, although it was well hidden, it was still difficult to hide its excitement and excitement.
Kuang Jing, Ji Sheng, Xiang Ji, Xiang Bo, and the Lu Ze brothers, as well as countless hidden people, also glanced at each other, full of schadenfreude.
The officials of the Qin State who had just made the ceremony also turned around and looked at Dading at this time, and there were some scheming officials who were already thinking about how to advise Ying Zheng Bai Yan in the bamboo silk.
