Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 221

When Ziying said this, Zu Xian immediately changed his expression, his eyes fixed on the memorabilia presented by Ziying.He knows best what his son has done, and if Mr. Chang'an really has the exact evidence, it will be very bad for him.

It's just that Mr. Chang'an hasn't returned to Xianyang for a long time, so how could he have such evidence.

Zhao Zheng took a look at the memorial presented by Ziying, and the color on his face became livid after a while.

Angrily, he threw the playbook in his hand and threw it at Zu Xian's feet.

"Look at this, Zu Qing. Should I give Gu an explanation?" Zhao Zheng said in a cold tone.

Zu Xian panicked and picked up a roll of bamboo slips scattered on the ground, glanced quickly, and picked up another roll in disbelief after reading it.

"Your Majesty, this is all slander, and it must have been fabricated by Lord Chang'an. If my son had acted in such a way in Xianyang as Lord Chang'an said, he would have been captured by the internal history a long time ago. How could he be killed by Lord Chang'an innocently?" Zu Xianlue Some panicked retorted.

Then he looked at Nei Shi'an expectantly, hoping that Nei Shi'an could "united front" with himself as he said last night.

However, under Zu Xian's hopeful gaze, Nei Shi'an suddenly knelt down with a plop, his head lowered and hit the ground heavily with a "clang".

"I'm guilty!" Nei Shi'an kowtowed like garlic.

"I am an internal historian, but because of Lang Zhongling's favor, I ignored the king's teachings. I am guilty!"

When Nei Shian said this, Zu Xian immediately turned pale as snow. What Nei Shian said was equivalent to confirming his son's crime, and it was because of his own interference that he did not enforce the law impartially.

In this way, not only will it be difficult to avenge his son's vengeance, but this time, he may have to fall into it.

When I got emotional, I said indiscriminately: "You shameless person, how did you promise me yesterday, how can you go back on your word!"

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Zu Xian finally realized where this is, and now is not the time to accuse Nei Shi'an of being ungrateful.

Turning his head towards Zhao Zheng with a look of horror, he kowtowed heavily.

Zu Xian begged: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"What's going on here?" Zhao Zheng's tone was like the cold wind in the twelfth lunar month, without any warmth.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, yesterday Lang Zhongling ordered me to attack Lord Chang'an today, if I don't obey, I will expose my previous protection of Zu Shun.

After Zuxian left, the ministers became more and more fearful, and felt deeply that they had owed the divine grace, and they were forced by the villain, so they revealed everything to Chang'an Jun, and sent the cases of Zu Shun's violations in recent years to help Chang'an Jun find the victims and obtain its confession. "Nesian said with his head down.

Hearing Nei Shi'an's words, the ministers in the hall suddenly realized, no wonder Chang'an Lord was able to get so much evidence not long after he came back, it turned out that he got it from Nei Shi'an.

"It turns out that you are harming me."

When Zu Xian heard it, he naturally thought that the case files and complaints in Ziying's hands came from Nei Shi'an.He regarded Neishi An as his closest comrade-in-arms, but he never thought that at the most critical moment, it was his comrade-in-arms who stabbed him in the heart.

Zu Xian, who was already panicked to the point of being at a loss, was already on the verge of collapse. Hearing Nei Shi'an's explanation, he couldn't control his emotions.

One got up and came to the kneeling place of Nei Shian, his hands were about to pinch Nei Shian's neck.

A few ministers at the side hurriedly pulled Zu Xian who was a little screaming.

"Don't make mistakes in the main hall!" An official who was usually on good terms with Zu Xian yelled loudly at Zu Xian's ear.

After being scolded, Zu Xian came back to his senses and thought of what he did just now when he was so emotional.Only then did he continue to kneel on the hall with a dead face.

In an instant, the entire hall unexpectedly became quiet, and everyone was waiting for Qin Wang Zhao Zheng to deal with Zu Xian.

By this time, the situation has become very clear, Zu Xian connived at his son's misbehavior, and finally did it on the head of Lord Chang'an.

Moreover, attempting to collude with the internal history to deceive the king can be said to have committed the "crime of deceiving the king".

However, at this time, Ziying stood up again and said, "My lord, I have something else to report to my lord."

"Say."

"Yesterday, Langzhong ordered someone to follow me, and the person he sent was not the general of the Fuzhong but the Qimen army!" Ziying said calmly.

What Ziying said caused even more uproar in the court.

Sending troops to do private affairs is obviously beyond Zu Xian's scope of authority.

Moreover, when King Qin was young, he first experienced Lu Buwei's control of military power, and later Lao Ai's rebellion.

What's more, the two imperial guards directly belonged to King Qin on the surface.

If this is true, Zu Xian can be said to have violated Zhao Zheng's big taboo, and he will definitely die but not live.

"Blood!" Zu Xian shouted at Ziying with his eyes wide open, "Qimen army is the emperor's personal guard, how dare I touch it."

When this issue was involved, Zu Xian also ignored Ziying's identity, pointed to Ziying's nose and said: "Mr. Chang'an, even if my son offended you, but my son is dead now, don't you want to kill them all?" , won’t you even let go of my old bones?”

Zu Xian said with tears in his eyes.

An old man who was almost seventy years old accused Ziying of this with tears in his eyes, and immediately won the sympathy of many people in the hall, especially the few people who had a good personal relationship with Zuxian in the past, they all spoke out to intercede for him.

Even Qin Wang Zhao Zheng frowned slightly at Ziying, but Ziying didn't seem to have seen all this, and continued to say to Zu Xian: "Which general was named Heifu yesterday, what I said Right?"

As soon as Ziying said the word "Hei Fu", Zu Xian felt as if struck by lightning, and stared at Ziying with wide eyes in disbelief.

How could Mr. Chang'an know the name of a hundred generals?

"Reporting to Your Majesty, yesterday Lang Zhong ordered Zuxian to send a hundred general Heifu of the Qimen Army and two hundred soldiers to kill me on the way. However, what Zuxian didn't know was that for some reason, Heifu and I were in the battle against Chu. We have known each other since then. At that time, I also wrote the family letter for Heifu.

The funny thing is that until the black husband recognized me yesterday, he thought he was arresting the thieves under the order of Zu Xian, and then I learned that Zu Xian actually mobilized the Qimen guards to act for me for private affairs.

Now that these 200 people are in the army, the king only needs to call them in for a confrontation, and the truth will come to light. "

Ziying said loudly.

"Come here, hurry up and declare Heifu, the Hundred General of the Qimen Army, and his sergeants to have an audience." Zhao Zheng ordered immediately after hearing this.

"No need!" There was a stopping voice, and it was the one who was just angrily clamoring that Ziying had wronged his ancestors.

Zu Xian closed his eyes, and said slowly: "What Lord Chang'an said is true, and I plead guilty."

After Zu Xian confessed his guilt, all the ministers in the palace started discussing again, they really didn't expect Zu Xian to act so boldly.

Especially the few ministers who just defended Zu Xian glared at Zu Xian with hatred on their faces. This old man has done him a terrible job, and he will definitely leave a very bad impression on the King of Qin in the future.

"Lang Zhong ordered Zuxian to indulge his son's misbehavior, and deceived the king to secretly mobilize the imperial guards. He committed a heinous crime and ordered the family to be beheaded and confiscated.

Nei Shi'an, neglecting his duties and not paying attention to the people's sentiments, for the sake of your repentance, you will be fined for a year as a punishment. "

For the repeated attempts to deceive himself and privately mobilize the army Zu Xian, Zhao Zheng naturally sentenced him to death, and Nei Shi'an was only fined for one year in view of his quick rebellion.

However, at this moment, Nei Shi'an's heart was also full of bitterness. Others thought that he was biting back at Zu Xian because of his admiration for Lord Chang'an, or because of Zu Xian's threat.

Only when he himself knew the uneasiness in his heart, if Lord Chang'an handed over the letter in his hand, based on King Qin's hatred for Lord Changping, he would definitely die a million times uglier than Zuxian.

In the future, I am afraid that I will be the saddle for Lord Chang'an.

No wonder why this letter fell into Lord Chang'an's hands. Moreover, Lord Chang'an submitted to the King of Qin about Zushun's past and those complaints. But he knew that even the Neishi Mansion did not have these materials in the hands of Mr. Chang'an.

It can also be seen from this that Mr. Chang'an must have a secret information channel that no one knows about.

It's really scary that a boy under the age of 20 has such scheming and power.

After the court meeting, the officials dispersed, but Zhao Zheng left Ziying alone.

Ziying respectfully followed Zhao Zheng through the palace complex, and from a distance, there were still several high platforms that had just laid their foundations.

Over the years, every time a country is destroyed, Zhao Zheng will make people imitate the palace of this country in Xianyang. After so many years of war, the civil engineering in Xianyang City has not stopped, and the entire palace city has become more and more extensive and magnificent. .

In the past two years, the King of Qin even sent people to directly use the orchid osmanthus wood as a bridge to run through the north and south of the Weihe River and connect the palaces on both sides of the river.

Glancing at King Qin who was walking in front of him, Ziying could clearly feel that the current King Qin has changed a lot compared to previous years. With a series of victories in foreign wars, King Qin is becoming more and more It becomes more and more conceited and difficult to listen to the advice of others.

Take Guo Weiliao, who has made great contributions to the great cause of Qin's unification, as an example. When he first arrived in Qin, he proposed to Zhao Zheng, "Little kindness is a tiger's heart, and it is easy to make appointments with others, and it is easy to eat when you are successful." People. I am a commoner, but I see that I always put myself down. Sincerely, King Qin can achieve his ambitions in the world, and the world will be captured. You can’t be with Jiuyou.” Evaluation.

At that time, Zhao Zheng just laughed it off even if he said such words to the King of Qin, and even gave Wei Liao the same treatment as himself, and Wei Liao was also grateful for Zhao Zheng's kindness, stayed and made great efforts for the unification of Qin.

However, after the state of Qin destroyed the state of Chu, Zhao Zheng obviously refused to listen to any of Wei Liao's suggestions, which led to Wei Liao directly leaving the seal in Guowei's mansion a few years ago, without a trace.

No one can deny Qin Shihuang's historical achievements in unifying China for the first time. However, judging from the understanding of Ziying's later generations, the temper of Qin Shihuang in the later period will become more and more elusive.

Seeing Ziying obediently following behind him, Zhao Zheng stopped his pace and said, "Above the court, we are monarchs and ministers. Don't be so restrained outside the court."

"promise!"

After speaking, Ziying just straightened up her waist, but she was still very respectful.

The precedent of Mizi Xia and Yu Taoyijun is ahead, even if Zhao Zheng said so, Ziying really didn't dare to just let it go.

After all, although King Qin is very fond of himself now, it does not mean that he will always be fond of him.

Seeing that Ziying was still adhering to the etiquette of a monarch and a minister, Zhao Zheng smiled slightly, and did not continue to say anything on this topic.

"Since returning to Qin, you have made great contributions to our Great Qin in the South and North Wars. Many of your contributions are even unknown, but you have not continued to reward you. Do you have any complaints?"

Zhao Zheng asked slowly.

"I have done little work, but I stole the high position of Lord Chang'an, so what can I complain about?" Ziying hurried back.

"The seat of Mr. Chang'an can be said to be passed on to you by your father, and I owe it to you both." Zhao Zheng looked at the sky and said slowly: "It's just that I really don't know how to reward you. Top, and judging from your actions in Raoyang, you don't have much love for money.

I want to give you some beauties, but the maids around you are already first-class and beautiful, Gu really can't think of what to reward you. "

Zhao Zheng looked at Ziying and said.

"You said, what do you want to give you alone?"

When Zhao Zheng said this, Ziying hesitated. If someone else had such an opportunity and the king let you choose the reward, he would be ecstatic, but Ziying didn't feel any joy at all.

He really didn't want anything...

After a pause, Ziying suddenly wanted to bow down to Zhao Zheng very respectfully, and said solemnly: "I dare to ask the king and my minister to make a promise, and I will listen to Ziying's remonstrance in the future."

After thinking for a long time, Ziying didn't ask for anything in kind, but made such a strange request.

If the king of Qin agrees to him, he can listen to his advice in the future.

Zhao Zheng thought for a while, and agreed after just a remonstration, and casually took off a piece of jade around his waist and handed it to Ziying, saying, "With this in the future, I will be alone to answer your remonstrance."

Ziying hurriedly took it over happily. In his opinion, the value represented by this jade pendant is higher than all the treasures in the world.

Although there is only one chance, it may be of great use if used well.

"You killed Zu Shun, did you just want to avenge those innocent people?" After the topic was revealed last time, Zhao Zheng brought up the matter of His Royal Highness just now.

To be honest, Ziying, a feudal monarch, would brazenly fight for some ordinary people, and even confront Lang Zhongling, one of the dignified nine ministers, although there may be reasons to defend the Qin law or to avenge the grievances of those military families.

But it's still a bit unbelievable.After all, the identity gap between the two can be said to be worlds apart.

"Your Majesty, when I was in Raoyang, I heard an anecdote that after the tide passed, the whole beach was full of small fish, and a child was struggling to throw the small fish back into the sea on the beach.

A wise man said, there are more than a thousand fish on the beach, and your actions are only saving one or two of them, so what can you do?

The childish boy replied: 'But the fish is everything here'"

Ziying's thoughts are the same as that child's. Although I can't save all the people in the world like you, but when I encounter this kind of thing, my actions to the victims are greater than the sky. "
