Listening to Hebo's narration, Ziyou and the others also understood the love and hatred between Hebo and Emperor E, one of Mrs. Xiang. Hebo, Mrs. Xiang, Xiangjun, Yufu and several others are disciples of the Yin and Yang family of the previous generation, among which Hebo and Empress Nuying are both disciples of the Ministry of Water, while Xiangjun is a disciple of the Ministry of Earth.

Several of them have been brought into the Yin-Yang family since they were children, and when they entered the Yin-Yang family, they were informed of their future identities, so they were cultivated separately since they were children.

Originally, Empress E and Nu Ying were both good at cultivation, but later as they grew up, Empress E and Nu Ying began to fall in love, and the rebellious period came, Emperor E was not too interested in the future husband Xiangjun who was arranged, especially with Hebo, a handsome and talented beautiful man who grew up together, Xiangjun was even more disdainful of Emperor E.

In addition, at that time, Hebo was the most famous young talent in the Yin and Yang family, and Emperor E gradually found that he liked this person who grew up together since childhood, so Emperor E secretly abolished his cultivation of being good as water, and instead cultivated Bailu and deceived the frost, in order to get rid of the name of Mrs. Xiang.

But it backfired, the Yin and Yang family at that time didn't know what had changed, the supreme leader became the current Donghuang Taiyi, and the old head of the Jieshi Palace has no news since then, and it is precisely because of this that the Donghuang Taiyi is ready to make a move on Emperor E in order to establish his majesty. In order to keep Emperor E, Hebo, who is the descendant of the old head of the family, made a deal with the Eastern Emperor Taiyi. On the condition of leaving the Yin and Yang family, in exchange for the safety of Emperor E.

Because at that time, Donghuang Taiyi suddenly inherited the head of the family, and many people in the Yin and Yang family were suspicious of him, and as the old head of the family, Hebo was the leader of it, as long as Hebo left the Yin-Yang family and lacked this leader, then the people who rebelled against Donghuang Taiyi would not be able to become any climate. So in order to stabilize the inside of the Yin and Yang family, Donghuang Taiyi agreed.

Although the story between Hebo and Emperor E is very bloody, there is still some useful news that Ziyou has noticed.

"As the descendant of the old master, don't you know what happened to the Yin and Yang family at that time?" Ziyou frowned and asked.

"I don't know, when the Water Sword was born, I was sent out by the old master to find the Water Sword, and when I came back with the Water Sword, the head of the Yin and Yang family was already the current Donghuang Taiyi." He Bo shook his head and said.

"The Water Sword? The legendary Excalibur? Ziyou asked.

"Don't think about the idea of fighting the water sword, when I left the Yin and Yang family, in order to ensure the safety of Emperor E, I specially handed over the water sword to Emperor E." He Bo said coldly, "You Confucians are really a group of robbers, no wonder Zhuang Zhou said that the saints do not die, the thieves are not stopped, you Confucians are the biggest thieves, and when you see any good things, you want to take them for yourself." ”

"Heh, each other, don't you Yin and Yang families often run to other people's sects and rob disciples?" Ziyou said sarcastically.

Hebo wanted to refute something, but he couldn't say anything on his lips, because Zi You was telling the truth, the Yin and Yang family has extremely strict requirements for the talent of their disciples, but the world is so big, there are so many sects, it is impossible for their Yin and Yang family to cover the sky with one hand, and if they want to get a disciple who meets the conditions, they sometimes have to do the means of robbing the disciple.

"I've told you everything I know, can you give me back the flute?" He Bo looked at Ziyou and asked.

"When did I promise you to return the bamboo flute to you? I'm talking about not burning it. Ziyou said with a smile while playing with the bamboo flute.

"Shame on you!! Confucian villains play with words! Hebo immediately scolded.

Bai Feng was about to step forward and plug Hebo's mouth with a rag, and at the same time tied Hebo with a rope, Ziyou glanced at Bai Feng with satisfaction.

"Take care of him, I'll keep it useful." Ziyou said, it was not easy to catch a person who knew some of the things of the previous generation of the Yin and Yang family, it would be a pity if he was easily killed or let go, and it was most appropriate to stay.

After tying up Hebo, after Ziyou and a few people had a beautiful barbecue, he took Hebo back to the Qin army camp, and after Ziyou sent someone to take care of Hebo, he took a few people back to his camp.

The current Qin army did not make any moves, except for besieging Daliang, the Qin army did not make any movements, and did not attack other cities, so the next few days were very stable, even Daliang City, which was full of grass and trees, couldn't help but relax the nervous nerves.

Qin State, Xianyang, in the main hall of Zhangtai Palace, the court hall of Qin State is holding a court meeting.

Ying Zheng sat on the throne, listened to the ministers below report on the recent domestic affairs, and waited until Zhang Cang, the ruler of Su Neishi, arranged the grain and grass to be transported to the front line, Ying Zheng spoke

"Wang Jian sent back the news, Shouchun City was broken, and he committed suicide, and Li Yuan decided to cede the thirteen cities north of Juyang, plus Mang, Xiang, and four cities."

Hearing Yingzheng's words, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned, and at the same time, they couldn't help but envy Wang Jian in their hearts, the seventeen cities ceded by Li Yuan were all counted on the heads of Wang Jian and his army, this is a great military achievement, enough to make an ordinary person become a marquis outside the Guan.

"Li Yuan ceded the Seventeen Cities so generously, is there any problem in it?" Lü Buwei said in thought.

Seventeen cities north of Juyang, this is a big deal, so it will be handed over to the Qin State, then the capital of the Chu State Shouchun will only be left with the barrier of Juyang, although there was a covenant before that the cities captured by the Qin army are owned by the Qin State, but that also needs to be attacked by the Qin army, and now you Li Yuan directly and directly ceded it, which directly changed from the attack to the free gift. There is no such thing as pie in the world, and Lu Buwei is worried that there is fraud in it.

"What Father Zhong said makes sense, Zhao Gao, tell everyone, why did Li Yuan cede the Seventeen Cities so much." Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Guo and said.

"No!" Zhao Guogong took a step forward and picked up the military newspaper that had been prepared a long time ago, and explained the reason why Li Yuan ceded the Seventeen Cities

"Li Yuan ceded the Seventeen Cities because of the military might of my Great Qin army."

Hearing that Li Yuan was afraid of the Qin army, he thought that what he said was for fear that Wang Jian and the Qin army would misunderstand, so he thought of ceding the seventeen cities to ease the relationship with the Qin state. The civil and military forces of the Qin State and the Manchu Dynasty laughed.

Wei Yi looked at the laughing Wenwu, his face was expressionless, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Only Chu Zhao of the Five Kingdoms of Shandong now has the ability to fight with the Qin State, and now Li Yuan of the Chu State is like this, which makes Wei Yi worry about his future.

Han Fei also couldn't stop laughing, he never thought that the prime minister of a country would be so timid, and he didn't know that he thought that Li Yuan was Wang Qian's house slave.

"The feat of King Chu Zhuang in the past can only be history, and the current Chu State has long been frightened by our Great Qin like a lost dog." Lu Buwei said with a smile.

Lü Buwei originally thought that Li Yuan would be able to successfully take Xiong Han, the king of Chu, all the way to Gusu with the king of Chu, Xiong Han, under the double blow of the coup d'état launched by Changping Jun and Xiang Yan, and led Qu Jingzhao to launch a coup d'état, and organized an army to confront the two sides. Before, Lü Buwei thought that he would have the opportunity to talk to this Chu State Lingyi, but now Lü Buwei only felt that meeting such a person was an insult to himself.

"Li Yuan is just a strong outsider." Li Si arched his hand and said.

"No matter what Li Yuan is, the widow wants to ask you Aiqing, we will definitely take these seventeen cities, but the people of Chu are different from other countries in the Central Plains, and the people are extremely superstitious about ghosts and gods, if you don't deal with this matter, I'm afraid you won't be able to convince the local people." Ying Zheng asked.

Hearing Yingzheng's question, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military immediately stopped laughing and began to think about it, the matter of ghosts and gods was very popular even in the Qin State, but after Confucianism entered the Qin, such an atmosphere slowly declined, except for some ghosts and gods that are really beneficial to the beliefs of the people, especially the obscene evil gods have all been banned, in the words of Ziyou, the Qin State does not raise useless gods.

"If you directly ban it with the tough measures that were used in the Qin State at the beginning, I am afraid that it will not only not appease the people, but also cause the local people to resist. The minister believed that after sending an army to take over the city, he should send people to investigate the beliefs in various places, and select those who are beneficial to the people to stay. Send someone to investigate what happened after these sacrifices, and if you find that someone is using the sacrifice of ghosts and gods to loot the people's money and force the people to sell their sons and marry daughters, first make the matter public, and then send an army to divide all the people behind them in public! Lees stood up and said.

Li Si is a native of Chu and once held an official position in Chu State, so he knows a lot about the affairs of Chu State, especially the practice of sacrificing ghosts and gods, which is even more popular in the entire Chu State. The ghost and god sacrifices in Chu can no longer be said to be popular, it should be said that it is addicted, one village and one god, ten miles of different beliefs are absolutely exaggerated, and even in Chu this is a very common thing.

As an official, Li Si has also heard of some of the dirty transactions behind these sacrifices to ghosts and gods, so he is particularly disgusted with this kind of thing, and he has long had a certain idea of this kind of thing in his heart.

"Isn't that too harsh? The five horses can be divided into corpses and executed in public. A minister stepped forward and retorted.

It is obvious to all that Li Si and Han Fei are radicals in the court of the Qin State, and the radicalism of the two is for anyone, even if the disciples of Confucianism make mistakes, and they are not the slightest bit merciful in the hands of the two.

"I'm afraid that public execution is not enough to deter people's hearts, Chu and Qin are feuds, in addition to appeasement, they should be deterred from daring to have the heart to transgress, and they should coexist with gentleness and thunder." Li Si immediately retorted.

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate, I understand what Lord Tingwei said, but there are also extreme and ordinary thunder methods, the five horses are too cruel to divide the corpse, the law is important, Lord Tingwei should know." The minister continued.

For a while, the court quarreled again because of the radicals and the conservatives, and if it was because of what punishment to use, there was no need for everyone to argue, but there was a big gap between the ideas between the radicals and the conservatives, and there were differences on many things.

Looking at the arguing and debating court, Ying Zheng raised his head slightly, and Zhao Gao immediately stood up and shouted

"Silence!"

When Zhao Guo shouted, he specially used some internal force, which immediately shocked all the people, and everyone immediately saluted Yingzheng

"If the ministers violate etiquette, please punish the king."

Ying Zheng waved his hand to signal that the matter was over.

"The widow thinks that the division of the five horses is indeed a bit strict, but the public punishment is probably not enough to deter. If it is the most heinous and the first evildoer, the five horses will be divided; The rest of the accomplices and those with lesser culpability are punished according to their crimes, up to public beheading. What do you think? Ying Zheng said.

"The king is wise!"

"Since you Aiqing have no other opinions, the Prime Minister's Mansion is responsible for selecting suitable officials, and the Imperial Doctor sent people to the Chu State to investigate, and at the same time is responsible for supervising the local officials. At the same time, Wang Jian was asked to sign a land cession agreement with Li Yuan on the front line instead of the widow. Ying Zheng said.

"Wait for the order!" The ministers arched their hands.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and then the entire court meeting opened again, just as it was about to end. A fast horse rushed into the city of Xianyang, and the armored soldier on horseback shouted loudly with a document in hand

"Wei Guojun report, get out of the way quickly!"

"Wei Guojun report, get out of the way quickly!"

After the people in the city heard the shouts of the armorers, they all got out of the way, allowing the armorers to pass smoothly, and at the same time they all looked in the direction of the palace, with a little curiosity in their eyes, and some people went directly to the palace, ready to know the first-hand Wei war outside the palace.

When he came to the palace, the armor immediately turned over and dismounted, showed the token, and said to the guards

"The military report of the State of Wei, the military report of General Feng and General Dun weak!"

"Fast forward!" The guards immediately moved out of the way.

The waiter who was responsible for delivering the military report had been waiting for a long time, and under the leadership of the waiter, the soldier went towards the main hall, and outside the entrance of the hall, the waiter who was responsible for delivering the news passed in a low voice, and an attendant came to Zhao Guo's side, whispering about the delivery of the military report of Wei Guo.

"What's going on?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao and asked.

"King Qiyu, it was reported by the Wei Army, General Feng and General Dun Weak." Zhao Gao arched his hand and said.

"Bring it up!" Ying Zheng said immediately.

The reason why the war in the entire Wei State was stopped was to wait for the news of Feng Quji's illness and sudden weakness.

"No!"

Zhao Gao nodded to the waiter on the side, and the waiter immediately walked out of the hall and nodded to the waiting military marquis, who immediately walked into the hall with the military newspaper in both hands.

"Minister, Yulin Army, Jiaziying Army, Bai Ji to meet the king."

"Hurry up, how's the battle ahead!?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Five days ago, General Feng and General Dunruo led the army to ambush the Yan army in Boiling Zao, 30,000 people broke the 60,000 Yan army, beheaded more than 40,000 people, captured more than 5,000 people, and seized a number of grain, grass, ordnance, and horses. The military newspaper is here, please also check it out with the king. Bai Zhen said.

"Pick it up."
