In the days that followed, I discussed with Li Si and others how to amend the conscription law, but the matters and people involved were complicated and difficult to deal with.

Just when the first snowflakes were floating in Xianyang, Zhang Li, the county guard of Huiji County, suddenly sent an urgent report: There was a rebellion in Huiji County!

I hurriedly asked Li Si and the others to stop the matter of revising the decree, and summoned the guards Bai Zhuo, Feng Quji, Feng Zai and others to discuss how to deal with the rebellion. I have no experience in dealing with rebellions, and in the event of a chain reaction, the world is in turmoil, and it doesn't matter whether or not to reduce the conscription.

After reading Zhang Li's recital, Li Si arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Huiji County has always been the place where the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are hidden, and if Zhang Li is not careful, it is indeed the remnants of the Chu State who are the most active. ”

"Chenguan reported that this rebellion is still the cause of the Xiang clan of Chu State, not only Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, but also Zhang Liang, who attacked the emperor in Bolangsha before, the minister suggested that these thieves must be captured this time, once they have time to grow, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future!"

I nodded, feeling extremely irritable.

According to history, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang will revolt in July next year, and Xiang Yu will raise troops in September after that, but now Xiang Yu's rebellion has been advanced for so long, and Zhang Liang has also mixed up with him, once it cannot be pacified in time......

Thinking about this, I said to Bai Throw: "White Throw, what is the strength of the surrounding army now?" ”

Bai Tou replied: "Your Majesty, there is no army stationed around Huiji County today, only the garrison of Huiji County. However, because most of the people of the old Chu gathered in Huiji County, the emperor specially increased the garrison of Huiji County, and now there are about 3,000 soldiers. According to the newspaper, the rebels were no more than a thousand people, and they were a temporary miscellaneous army, with all kinds of people, and the ministers expected that they would not be able to resist the county soldiers. ”

Feng Quji also said: "Your Majesty, the minister suggests that some soldiers be transferred from the neighboring Jiujiang County, and the soldiers of Huiji County should be combined to defeat the rebels as soon as possible. ”

Li Si and Feng Zai nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then let Ying Yiyi transfer half of his county's troops to support Zhang Li. In vain, you arrange for someone to rush to Jiujiang immediately, lead the Jiujiang soldiers to Huiji, and let Zhang Li resist first, and make every effort to conquer it after the combined army. Li Si, you are in charge of the full command of the counterinsurgency, and you will allocate the necessary money and food. I commanded.

The two were ordered to go out immediately to make arrangements.

————

Two months later, news came from Huiji County that the rebellion had been put down. Zhang Li was worried about the resurgence of the rebels, so he did not return to Xianyang to report to me, and Qi Liang, the left protector sent by Bai Zhuo, returned to Xianyang after returning the Jiujiang soldiers.

In the Temple of the Four Seas.

Qi Liang said: "Your Majesty, this rebellion has been put down in less than 10 days, but it takes a lot of time to capture all the traitors and find out those who colluded with the thieves. Xiang Liang, the leader of the group, was killed in battle, Xiang Yu and Zhang Liang were captured, and they have been escorted to Xianyang and sent to the Imperial Prison, asking Your Majesty to decide what to do with the two. ”

Li Si opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, these two people have repeatedly participated in or instigated rebellions and assassinated the emperor, which is really a heinous crime, and the crime is unforgivable, and the minister recommends that the two be executed according to the law." ”

Feng Quji responded and said: "Your Majesty, what Li Xiang said is reasonable, Zhang Liang is Korean, Xiang Yu is from Chu State, both of them are old nobles, and the enmity between Korea, Chu State and my Great Qin is the deepest, treat such people, we must cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and leave no trouble!" ”

Feng Zai and Meng Yi also held this view.

I nodded and said, "What Zhu Qing said coincides with what I think, but I want to interrogate the two of them personally." ”

Li Si hesitated: "Your Majesty, the two of you are extremely vicious, and the ministers are afraid that they will hurt Your Majesty." ”

In his heart, he thought: 'If you are the first emperor, you will definitely ignore these Xiaoxiao, just interrogate and kill them directly, why interrogate yourself, Your Majesty is only 15 years old, and our old ministers still think differently......

I smiled slightly: "It's okay, if the two of them can hurt me in the edict, it will be really a big joke in the world, and this matter will be arranged by Meng Yi." ”

When everyone saw that I insisted, they didn't say anything more, and Meng Yi was ordered to go down to prepare.

Two days later, I met Xiang Yu.

At this time, although Xiang Yu was covered with scars and had not been punished, his eyes were still wide with anger, and his burly body was a little rickety.

Since I changed into civilian clothes, Xiang Yu didn't know my identity, and as soon as I sat down, Xiang Yu roared angrily: "What, there is no one available in Barbarian Qin?" He sent a child to humiliate me! ”

This roar really scared me, and he deserved to be the overlord of Western Chu!

During the punishment, he also shouted: "Shut up, this is my Emperor of Great Qin!" Don't bow down and confess your sins! ”

Xiang Yu was also stunned, he didn't expect that this kid who had just ascended the throne would have the courage to interrogate him.

Then he laughed: "Hmph, I didn't expect that Barbarian Qin still has some backbone, and the Second Emperor actually had the courage to come to me in person." However, what is my Xiang Yu's crime? But you are barbaric, tyrannical and cruel, harsh and ruinous to the people, and everyone will be punished! ”

I steadied my mind and spoke: "You say that I am a tyrannical and violent person in Great Qin, but without my Great Qin, the world at this time would still be in war and strife, the people would be displaced, and you have repeatedly made chaos, wouldn't it make the people fall into the pain of war again?" ”

Xiang Yu snorted coldly and said: "The pain of war is to overthrow the pain of harsh government, and when the pain of war is still over, when will the pain of harsh government be relieved?" ”

I replied: "The laws of Great Qin are indeed harsh, but they are also for the stability of the world. Besides, I am aware of this problem, and now I have begun to prepare to reduce the conscription and recuperate with the people, if you are willing to submit to the Great Qin, I can consider letting you go. ”

Hearing this, my heart tightened, there were only three of me in prison at this time, but I followed Yingzheng for many years during the sentence and did not speak.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Yu suddenly broke forward, almost brought up the chair fixed on the ground, and immediately protected me during the punishment.

Xiang Yu didn't break free, so he sat back and said, "You want me to submit to the tyrannical Qin, it's delusional!" I have an enmity with Tyrant Qin, if you let me go, I will raise an army again and vow to overthrow Tyrant Qin! ”

I shook my head, and secretly said in my heart: "The god of feathers is brave, unique through the ages, and the overlord of Western Chu, Mu Monkey and crown!" More than bravery, not enough resourcefulness! ’

I sneered and said, "As you said before, the army was raised so that the people of the world would not suffer from harsh government, but in my opinion, it was just the selfishness of restoring the country and becoming the king in the name of saving the common people in the world!" I originally thought that if you were really a hero, you might be able to serve Daqin and seek peace for the world, but now it seems that you are just a horse. ”

Xiang Yu was furious: "When you slaughtered the Six Kingdoms, did you ever think about the people of the world, countless people of my Xiang clan died in the hands of Tyranny Qin, and they wanted me to work for Tyrannical Qin, and it was not too late to talk about it after I wiped out your Ying clan!" ”

Seeing Xiang Yu's attitude, I knew that it was impossible to win him over, so I waved my hand, and immediately called someone in to take Xiang Yu out.

Xiang Yu kept shouting: "Tyrannical Qin has no way, everyone will punish him!" Everybody's got it! ”

I said to the prisoner: "Bring Zhang Liang in." ”

Xiang Yu couldn't stay, but Zhang Liang had to find a way to bring him under his command no matter what!
