Xianyang City, the sky is just bright.

The gate guards pushed open the squeaky gate, and then heard the sound of horses' hooves and a loud shout in the distance.

"Get out of the way!"

The people, who were about to enter at the gate of the city, also avoided on both sides when they heard this, for fear that they would accidentally be trampled on by the horses' hooves.

The guards rubbed their eyes, and waited for the sound of horses' hooves to come closer, only to see that it was the war horse that had passed the military report.

"Get out of the way, the messenger is in the city!"

Hearing this, the people also knew that there was good news again, so they hurriedly avoided it.

Looking at the speeding war horses passing in front of them, splashing bursts of dust, no one complained, and they were all discussing: "Where is the good news?" ”

"I don't know."

"I heard that General Wang went to Chu to ......"

As he spoke, the messenger rode to the palace gate.

He turned over and dismounted, holding a bamboo slip, and ran in the direction of Xianyang Palace.

"Newspaper—"

"Huiji County Battle Report—"

Ying Zheng had already gotten up at this time, and was preparing to deal with political affairs in Xianyang Palace, when he heard a report from a eunuch outside.

"Your Majesty, a messenger has arrived."

News came a few days ago that Yin Tong had already recruited.

Now that he heard the messenger arrive, Ying Zheng knew that it was definitely good news.

He raised his eyebrows and waved his hand: "Pass!" ”

"The messenger enters the temple."

Immediately, there was a person who knelt in the middle of the hall wearing a military uniform, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, General Wang has annihilated all the Xiang clan!" ”

As he spoke, he raised the bamboo slip in his hand, and the expression on his face was very proud.

Seeing this, Zhao Gao hurriedly stepped off the stage, took the bamboo slip with both hands, and quickly put it on Yingzheng's table.

After Ying Zheng finished reading it, he laughed with joy on his face, and then said three good words in a row.

"Good, good! Reward! ”

At this moment, another eunuch came to report.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li Si, Wucheng Marquis Wang Qian, Yushi Wang Xuan, Wei Yi and others ask to see you."

Yingzheng is not surprised at all, presumably the news of the good news came back, and these people also knew about it.

Entering the palace at this time must also be for this matter.

"Xuan."

A group of people led by Li Si and Wang Jian walked in in mightily, got up and knelt on the main hall, and said in a loud voice: "See Your Majesty." ”

The smile on Ying Zheng's face was not put away, and he said with a smile: "Get up." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then the people stood up.

Ying Zheng's face was overjoyed at the moment, and he looked at the ministers and said with a smile: "I have just received good news, the rebellion in Chu has been quelled, and the Xiang clan has been wiped out. ”

When everyone heard this, they arched their hands and said in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

After speaking, everyone saw the messenger take out another bamboo slip from his arms, raise it above his head, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, General Wang went to Huiji County this time, and found that the county guard Yin Tong here had colluded with the old nobles of Chudi. ”

"It is because of the rebellion that there have been people in Chu for many years, all because of this person."

"Now the thief, Xiang Liang and others are on the way back to Xianyang."

"Your Majesty decides!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's brows furrowed, he glanced at the ministers in the audience, and asked, "What do you think the secretary should do with this person?" ”

Li Si's face showed a deep disdain, as well as hatred for the rebellious ministers and thieves.

Hearing this, he stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that such a traitorous person should be divided into five horses to set an example!" ”

"Since the unification of Great Qin, I have spent a lot of soldiers, horses, grain and grass in order to deal with the rebellion in Chudi, if it weren't for these people, then Chu would have already surrendered to my Great Qin, why send troops to suppress it every year?"

"Yes, the minister thinks that not killing him is not enough to make the people angry!"

Wang Juan and Wang Jian bowed and said, "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”

Ying Zheng nodded, coinciding with his thoughts.

He said in a deep voice: "Yes! ”

"After entering Xianyang, immediately executed!"

"Li Qing, this matter is carried out by you, and there must be no delay!"

Li Si immediately bowed down and said, "Wow! ”

After instructing this, Ying Zheng continued: "In this battle of Chudi, Wang Ben has made great contributions, rewarding 10,000 taels of gold and 5,000 households. ”

Hearing this, Wang Jian immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Ying Zheng smiled and waved his hand to signal Wang Qian, "Get up." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

As soon as Wang Jian stood up, he saw the messenger beside him kneeling down again.

This kneeling stunned everyone, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Then the messenger took out another bamboo slip from his bosom and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, when General Wang ordered his ministers to meet Your Majesty, they asked for something for him." ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Qian's face became very ugly, and he said why Wang Ben would let Zhao Lei, the deputy general next to him, be a messenger.

Although this Zhao Lei has a skill, this person's personality is very axial and very bold, and he can't pull back ten cows for what he believes!

If it weren't for that, he would definitely not be a deputy general with his ability.

Thinking of this, a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart.

Ying Zheng was a little surprised, and he said very calmly: "What's the matter? ”

"General Wang is willing to use this military exploit in exchange for His Majesty's pardon for the crimes of Ran Fang in prison."

"The general has already inquired, and that Ran Fang did not commit any heinous crimes, but was just implicated by Confucianism."

"This time the general was able to wipe out the Xiang clan so quickly, all because of the method of overcoming miasma taught by Ran Fang and Yin Tong's collaboration with the enemy."

"Therefore, the general feels that the biggest hero of this battle is Ran Fang."

And so it was......

Wang Qian's face was as pale as earth, he didn't expect his son to do this for that Ran Fang.

He knew that his son's shaft would be like this, but he didn't expect it to be such an axis, and it was so dull, if that Ran could be released, then he would have been released by His Majesty a long time ago, can you wait for him to mention it?

He immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded for Wang Ben: "Your Majesty, Wang Ben is just confused for a while, please atone for your sins." ”

After only saying such a sentence, he didn't dare to say more, for fear that His Majesty would be angry and recall Wang Ben and arrest him.

Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian and Zhao Lei on the ground and sighed.

I actually admired Ran Fang a little in my heart, I could get the recognition of so many people in just a few words, everyone who came out of Xianyang Prison was full of praise for Ran Fang, how many people in this world could do it?

"Merit is merit, passing is excess, it can't be mixed up, if so, what is the use of the Great Qin Law?"

"Ran Fang has merit, the widow will reward him, as for the rest, don't mention it!"

Zhao Lei wanted to say something, but was stopped by Wang Jian beside him.

He shook his head at Zhao Lei, Zhao Lei was reluctant to swallow his words, and Wang Benjiao's words were finished, and he didn't know what to say.

Seeing that Zhao Lei stopped talking, Wang Jian pulled him and kowtowed together and said, "Your Majesty." ”

The minister, who didn't know why, didn't understand why Wang Ben, for the sake of a prisoner, would openly rebel against His Majesty.

They can't understand it, isn't it just a prisoner, or a Confucian student, even if they are released?

It's just that no one dared to ask, and they all stood there with their heads bowed, not saying a word.

At this moment, the expression on Ying Zheng's face was incomprehensible, he sat on the high platform and pondered for a moment and said, "Let's all step down." ”

"The ministers are leaving."

Out of Xianyang Palace, a minister walked quickly to Li Si's side and asked in a low voice, "Prime Minister, who is this Ran Fang?" ”

The rest of the people also pricked up their ears, they also wanted to know.

"Who? The red man in front of His Majesty's eyes. ”
