Chapter 117: Arrangement of the Xiang Family and the Yu Family
"Let's go...... First Emperor closed the interrogation report submitted by Zhao Si.
Zhao Si took advantage of the fact that the first emperor did not read it, took the report, and carefully studied the charges that Yin Tong confessed.
There are many crimes, such as filling one's own pockets and secretly forming a party to suppress dissidents and control the locality, but these are not enough to kill, including Yin Tong opening the door to the nobles of Wuzhong.
There is only one truly fatal crime!
Collect Xiang Liang and train private soldiers!
"No wonder! No wonder! Zhao Si rubbed his eyebrows.
In Yin Tong's confession, Xiang Liang fled to Huiji after being convicted of murder in Xiangdi.
And Yin Tong was originally from Chudi, and he had also crossed paths with Xiang Liang, so he took Xiang Liang in.
Xiang Liang took advantage of Yin Tong's protection and began to make friends with the local nobles in Wuzhong, and with Yin Tong's help and the support of the Xiang family's background and resources, Xiang Liang successfully gained a firm foothold in Wuzhong.
Of course, friends belong to friends, and Xiang Liang's transfer of interests to Yin Tong is naturally indispensable.
After gaining a firm foothold, Xiang Liang began to try to recruit township soldiers in the Wuzhong area and train the Xiang family's private soldiers.
Huiji County Shou Yintong discovered this fact, and because he wanted to break with Xiang Liang at this time, he reported it.
No way, this is a real and righteous deed.
Qin law stipulates that the title can be used to offset the crime, and if Yin Tong's previous work is offset by the title, at most he will be demoted to a slave.
But there is one sin for which there is no immunity, and that is treason.
There are many definitions of rebellion, such as raising armor and forging swords in private armor.
Not to mention private training!
But at that time, the cooperation between Yin Tong and Xiang Liang was too deep, even if he didn't participate, he couldn't jump into the Yellow River, so Yin Tong fell into deep hesitation.
For the sake of his own life, Yin Tong strongly asked Xiang Liang to disband the soldiers who were training in animal husbandry.
Xiang Liang and Yin Tong launched the first high-intensity alignment.
Since Yin Tong became the county guard of Huiji, he has become more and more closely connected with the nobles in the Wuzhong area, and the county guard is a big member, and it can even be said that he is the local emperor, and the first emperor's deterrence of Yin Tong is declining with the slow passage of time.
And Xiang Liang keenly understood Yin Tong's thoughts, and began to threaten and persuade to get Yin Tong.
And during that time, it was the time when the world's rumors went viral and Daqin's public opinion was at its worst, and even Yin Tong himself accepted the rhetoric of the aristocratic circle, believing that the first emperor's life would not be long in coming, and the Six Kingdoms would be restored sooner or later.
If Xiang Liang is reported and exposed Yin Tong, it will not be comfortable, and Xiang Liang has the righteousness of revenge, whether it is from the perspective of reason or interests, it is not a good thing to expose Xiang Liang.
Xiang Liang keenly captured Yin Tong's psychological struggle, and in order to obtain Yin Tong's maximum support and help, Xiang Liang chose to surrender!
And this also led to a problem, Yin Tong's crime was even greater, enough to be punished.
On the contrary, it is the Xiang family, if they really want to implement the evidence of the crime, it is nothing more than that Xiang Liang has a capital crime, and the rest will pull down a large number of people who have been demoted to slaves, although they will be greatly damaged, but they will not implicate the clan.
It's loyalty, not cooperation!
From then on, the Xiang family did not make money for themselves, but for his county guard.
From then on, the Xiang family was not to train private soldiers by themselves, but to allow Yin Tong to have his own available men and horses when the world was in turmoil.
Zhao Si understood, so it is no wonder that when the world was in turmoil at the end of the Qin Dynasty in history, Huiji County Shou Yin Tong would invite Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu to conspire with him, and treat him as a minister.
It is no wonder that when Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu were in turmoil in the world, their first thought was not to participate in a big event together, but to kill Yin Tong on the spot.
Because the cooperation between the Xiang family and Yin Tong is a conspiracy!
Therefore, Xiang Liang's allegiance to Yin Tong was not actually made public.
Yin Tong is ready to do something, if he doesn't do it, it will be difficult to do it in the future, and the Xiang family can't bear the name of disloyalty!
"The allegiance is not public, it is only a private covenant......" Zhao Si thought to himself.
It is no wonder why the soldiers trained by the Xiang family in Wuzhong unswervingly obeyed Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's orders instead of Yin Tong.
In the eyes of normal people, it is true that Yin Tong is the county guard, but Xiang Liang is the head of the Xiang family, and the Xiang family is a veteran nobleman who has been a general in Chu for generations, not to mention that there is such a sad general as Xiang Yan, which is admired by the whole country.
Yin Tong has the right to be true, but in terms of fame and local influence, Yin Tong and Xiang Liang are completely incomparable.
In the eyes of most people, Xiang Liang's status is more noble than Yin Tong's, not to mention the influence of Xiang Yan's descendants in Wuzhong.
Wu Zhong's disciples recognize Xiang Liang, but they will not recognize Yin Tong, after all, he is an outsider, even if Yin Tong contributes money, food and soldiers, they will only think that Xiang Liang's means are clever and influential enough.
Not to mention, according to history, Xiang Yu will marry Yu Meiren, the daughter of the Yu family, a local prominent family in Wuzhong, in the near future.
Yin Tong seems to have received Xiang Liang's allegiance, but in fact he has been completely hollowed out.
The reason why Xiang Liang didn't dare to act rashly was because the central government of Great Qin had not yet fallen into chaos, and the official body of Yin Tong's county guard was still heavy.
When the end of Qin was in turmoil, Yin Tong's official deterrent power was far from enough, and Yin Tong still wanted to rebel, so his official position was reduced to a joke, and there was no deterrent at all, Xiang Liang would naturally be happy to accept all the remaining inheritance of Yin Tong.
"What do you see?" The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si, who was deep in thought, and asked.
"Xiang Liang shouldn't be genuinely loyal to Yin Tong." Zhao Si groaned and spoke.
The First Emperor nodded.
"He made a very serious mistake, the covenant between him and Xiang Liang was not binding, and his self-righteous allegiance, thinking that his identity was more noble than Xiang Liang, was actually the illusion given to him by the position of the county guard, and it was the position of the county guard that was noble, not his Yin Tong.
If according to what Yin Tong said, even if he really waited for the chaotic times at the end of Qin, I am afraid that the private soldiers trained by Xiang Liang would not be used by him, for Xiang Liang, at that time, it was obviously more cost-effective to kill a person who had lost the power and responsibility of the county guard than to be truly loyal. Zhao Si spread his hands.
The First Emperor nodded and leaned back, letting out a long sigh.
Oh, yes...... Zhao Si, this kid, can see the problem, Yin Tong can't see it, why does he think that he is qualified to let a great nobleman who has been a general for generations to be loyal to him?
The previous Yin Tong was not like this!
Lang Zhongling is equivalent to the central talent training school.
Yin Tong was born as a Lang official, and the competition between Lang officials was fierce, and it was very difficult for him to get a real job.
But everything that can be released is good enough.
Yin Tong was able to stand out, and he was appointed by the First Emperor as a county guard, a large official of 2,000 stones, which proved his talent.
The First Emperor didn't know what to say for a while.
Yin Tong corrupted and bred ambition, which he could accept, and Yin Tong made such a simple mistake in the process of corruption that he could not accept.
As Zhao Si said, allegiance without any restraint can be torn up at any time.
Yin Tong's fall was only a moment of nostalgia for the First Emperor, and he was used to this kind of thing.
Waving his hand, he put Yin Tong's matter behind, and then the smile on his face gradually appeared.
"Let's go, go to Huiji, Huiji County Affairs, you will be responsible." The First Emperor waved his hand.
It can be seen that Zhao Si is very interested in the affairs of Huiji County, and Zhao Si has already shown sufficient enthusiasm since he arrived in Huiji.
Whether it is Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew or the Yu family's poppy beauty.
Now that the overall situation has been decided, Yin Tong has been ambushed, and the first emperor does not mind handing over the aftermath of the Jijun matter to Zhao Si.
Anyway, the most important thing has been properly handled by Li Si and Dun Weak, and the rest is nothing more than arresting and convicting people according to the list provided by Yin Tong.
"Yui!" Zhao Si nodded!
History has changed beyond recognition to the present day.
At present, Huiji County Shou Yintong was arrested in advance, Xiang Yu and Yu Ji have not yet met, and it is naturally nonsense to get married.
On the contrary, Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew, who left a strong mark in history, have become the turtle in the urn.
Zhao Si certainly doesn't mind adding fuel to this unrecognizable history.
Although there is enough historical filter for Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, Zhao Si is the first emperor's person after all, and he knows what he has to do.
Because of Yin Tong's stupidity, although Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew will not implicate the Xiang family, it is obvious that participating in the rebellion, just helping Yin Tong to train private soldiers is enough for the Xiang family's vitality.
As for the Yu family of the Wuzhong Wang clan, the same is true, and there are a lot of interests with the Huiji County Shou, and the Yu family also has to explain a large number of clansmen.
That's a good place to start.
The Yu family is one of the most famous and powerful families in Wuzhong.
The Xiang family is at the peak of prestige in Chudi.
"Relocation Order ......"
"In this way, we can promote the achievement of the relocation order, the Yu family, and the Xiang family ......"
Xiang Liang's death is an inevitability, there is no need to delve into this, in addition to training private soldiers, Xiang Liang also has a felony of murder, unless the first emperor speaks in person, no one can protect Xiang Liang.
According to Zhao Si's understanding of Qin Law, Xiang Yu was also degraded to a slave at the beginning.
As soon as Xiang Liang died, Xiang Yu was demoted to a slave, and the Xiang family was really in charge, but only Xiang Bo was left.
Will Uncle Xiang break the net for Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew and Da Qinyu?
History has proved this, when Xiang Yu was in full swing, Xiang Bo could be backstabbed, not to mention that Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew were already a sure loss of power, and Daqin was in full swing, even if the Xiang family died, they couldn't make any waves, Zhao Si believed that Xiang Bo would make the right choice.
"Move the Xiang family, the Yu family, and enter the Xianyang Mausoleum...... One is the largest nobleman in Chu, and the other is one of the best nobles in Wu, which is enough to set an example for Chu, except for the Xiang family, there is no nobleman in the entire Chu land who can have enough prestige and connections to make the nobles of Chu land hug together to resist the relocation order. ”
Zhao Si nodded with satisfaction.
"So...... Let's go! ”
Zhao Si climbed out of the frame and rode the horse to Huiji!
He can't wait to carry out the arrest plan for Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew!
As for Yu Ji, the Yu family is also a certainty, and the monks can't run out, let alone the temple?
