Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

  Chapter 98 'Air Force' and 'Fishing'

  Seeing that this group of people has gradually evolved from 'complaining' to 'forcing the palace', Mr. Changping immediately felt something was wrong.

   These guys have gone crazy for revenge.

  The current Yingzheng is no longer the "young dragon" who was suppressed by Lu Buwei in the past. If he just complained, there would be no problem.

   But if they still want to threaten the other party with this "forced palace" posture like before, then I am afraid that even if the lawsuit is successful this time, they will not be able to get anything good.

Suddenly, more than a dozen courtiers came to sue for grievances at the same time, and Ying Zheng obviously felt a little bit troublesome. He frowned slightly and said: "The widow already knows about this matter, but the truth has not been found out yet, so the widow will send Tingwei to The people from the government went to Nanjun to investigate, and all the ministers should be put down first!"

"Your Majesty, there are already witnesses and material evidence for this matter. Dozens of our Rong clan's lives are still alive. Please make a decision early on, and punish the mob, Mr. Mo, otherwise, I will kneel here for a long time. .”

   Rong Buyun straightened his body, with tears still on his face, but he said resolutely.

   Heard this.

  Jun Changping's expression froze suddenly.

   And Ying Zheng, who was behind the throne, suddenly had a cold light in his eyes.

  However, Ying Zheng did not explode immediately, but looked at Chang Ping Jun and Chang Wen Jun and said, "You two, Xiong Qing, what do you think about this?"

  Things have come to this point.

  Mr. Changping and Mr. Changwen didn't know that they were stabbed in the back by one of their own.

But at this time, Lord Changping and Lord Changwen had no extra retreat, so they could only stand up bravely and saluted: "Go back to the king, I think that even if Mr. Mo, the governor of Nanjun, is preparing food for disaster relief, he should not Do this cruel thing."

   "It is a fact that all the twenty-seven families in Nanjun have been wiped out. I think that Mo Jun, the prefect of Nanjun, should be arrested as soon as possible and brought to justice, and wait for the king to deal with it."

  Jun Changping said this very artistically. He not only transferred the matter of Nanjun to Mo Jun alone, but also attributed Mo Jun's behavior to preparing food for disaster relief.

   This sentence seems to be an excuse for Mr. Mo, but in fact it left a backhand for himself. He told Ying Zheng that he only knew that the reason for "Mr. Mo's destruction of the family" was for disaster relief, and he didn't know anything about the rest.

   Originally, Mr. Changping didn't pay attention to these things, but the back stabbing of these Nanjun officials just now made Mr. Changping pay attention.

After listening to Mr. Changping's statement, Ying Zheng glanced at him, and said without saying anything, "It seems that everyone hopes that the widow will adjudicate this case as soon as possible! But... if the widow says Do you have to investigate first before making a decision?"

  The crowd did not respond, but seeing the kneeling kneeling of the group of people below, they had already expressed their attitude.

  The atmosphere fell into dead silence for a while.

   Until a certain moment.

  A voice suddenly came from outside Zhangtai Palace: "The Empress Dowager is here!"

  Jun Changping secretly heaved a sigh of relief at the sudden voice, while Ying Zheng's gaze on the throne flickered for a moment, but there was not much surprise, as if he had expected it.

   After a while.

  I saw a white-haired, graceful old woman, with the help of a maid, slowly walking into Zhangtai Palace.

   Lord Changping, Lord Changwen, and a group of Nanjun officials who knelt on the ground hurriedly turned to salute the old woman: "Your servant and I will attend the Empress Dowager Huayang."

  Ying Zheng also got up from the throne, helped the old woman to a position near the throne, and shouted: "Grandmother!"

  After the Empress Dowager Huayang took her seat, she turned to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

  Ying Zheng saluted slightly: "If you go back to grandma..."

   "Queen!"

  Ying Zheng hadn’t finished speaking, when suddenly, he heard a shrill cry, and then he saw that he couldn’t tolerate it, and suddenly kowtowed to the Queen Mother Huayang like garlic, and said with extreme grief and indignation: "Queen Mother, please make the decision for the old minister!"

   Seeing the other party's appearance, the Empress Dowager Huayang frowned slightly, but she still said: "What is wrong with Rong Qing? The old man and the king are here today, and I will definitely make decisions for you. Let's get up and talk first!"

  After listening to the words of the Empress Dowager Huayang, he couldn't bear to hesitate for a moment, then stood up slowly. Seeing his movements, all the officials behind him also stood up.

  Jun Changping's eyelids twitched when he saw this scene, but Ying Zheng on the throne looked calm, as if he didn't see the actions of these people.

  Maybe seeing his "backer" coming, Rong Buyun began to report the previous things to the Empress Dowager Huayang in detail.

  After listening to Rong Buyun's statement, the Empress Dowager Huayang did not immediately express her attitude, but first asked Ying Zheng: "I wonder what the king thinks about this matter?"

Yingzheng replied: "Going back to my grandmother, these are just the opinions of the ministers. My Daqin pays attention to legal evidence, so the government plans to let the people from the Tingwei Mansion go to Nanjun to investigate and collect evidence. If the evidence is convincing, they will be arrested immediately. The magistrate of Nanjun will be brought to justice and will not be tolerated."

  The Empress Dowager Huayang nodded and said: "Your Majesty is right. But..."

   Say half the words.

  The Empress Dowager Huayang changed the subject, and continued: "Rong Qing and others have worked hard and made great achievements. Now that the family is in such a catastrophe, if the Qin State cannot give an explanation as soon as possible, it will be too chilling."

   "So from my old age's point of view, it's better to deal with this case simply, what does your majesty think?"

"this······"

  Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly and said: "In that case, then follow what grandma said!"

  Hearing this, Rong Buyun and his group were overjoyed and said, "The Empress Dowager is wise."

  Now that the Empress Dowager Huayang is here, Rong Buyun and others have almost treated Ying Zheng as nothing, but Ying Zheng didn't respond at all to this. He just took out a blank bamboo slip and began to write the imperial edict.

   After a while.

Yingzheng wrote the edict and recruited the guards, but he did not read it directly, but handed the edict to Lord Changping, saying: "Since all the ministers have specially invited Xiong Qing to be the masters of several people, then you can do nothing without doing two things. Let Xiong Qing also read the imperial edict!"

   "Yes, I obey the king's order."

  Jun Changping, who received the edict, felt a little strange about Ying Zheng's actions, but he didn't think too much about it. After receiving the edict, he planned to read it out.

  However, just as he opened the bamboo slips and glanced at them, Mr. Changping's pupils shrank suddenly, and his face lost blood at a speed visible to the naked eye.

  Seeing Lord Changping's reaction, although Rong Buyun and the others felt a little strange, they didn't think too much about it. Instead, they urged in a low voice: "Mr. Changping, please read the imperial edict."

  But Mr. Changping seemed to have not heard the words of tolerance at all, and the whole person stood in place like a sculpture, his hands holding the bamboo slips trembled slightly.

   And at this moment, Ying Zheng spoke.

It's just that the tone is no longer as peaceful as before, but turned sharply, and suddenly turned cold: "What? Is Xiong Qing unwilling to read out this edict? Since Xiong Qing is unwilling to read out, then the widow will personally announce the edict. "

   "All the officials who were involved in the case of exterminating the family in Nanjun listen to the edict."

  Ying Zheng sternly shouted, although Yun and the others could faintly sense that something was wrong with Ying Zheng's tone, but at this moment they couldn't allow them to think too much, so they could only bow down and salute: "Your servant will accept the edict."

"The four major clans of Feng, Cheng, Rong, and Zhu in Nanjun privately made armor, trained the army, and colluded with the state of Chu in an attempt to rebel. The governor of Nanjun, Mo Jun, was ordered by the widow to thoroughly investigate this matter. Now that there are witnesses and evidence, you will return What do you want to say?"

   Didn't wait for Yingzheng's trial of Mo Jun, but instead heard about his family's charges of treason, Rong Buyun and his group were stunned for a moment.

   Even the Empress Dowager Huayang couldn't help being stunned for a moment, obviously even she didn't get the news beforehand.

   No wonder.

  After all, Mr. Mo acted too fast at the beginning, and the first move was a thunderous blow, which directly wiped out the whole family, and there was no chance for any more important news to spread.

  After that, for the sake of 'fishing', Mo Jun deliberately raised the four major clans to support the army, and temporarily hid the news of the private armor.

  But it is estimated that even Mo Jun never expected it.

  He laid bait in Nanjun, and after fishing for more than half a month, he was still in the Air Force.

  In the end, Ying Zheng took advantage of Xianyang's side and directly caught a nest of big fish.

  Rong Buyun and the others were stunned by the sudden news at first, but soon a group of people reacted, fell to their knees in a hurry, and shouted:

   "You are wronged! Your Majesty!"

   "The old minister has always been loyal to the Qin State, how dare he have the heart of rebellion, he is wronged!"

   "They are all the governor of Nanjun County, it must be him, this guy Mo Jun planted and framed them, please ask the king to investigate!"

  ······

   "Injustice? Clear investigation?"

Ying Zheng sneered, and said, "When you sued Mo Qing just now, why didn't you see him complaining of injustice and clear investigation? What's more, compared to your empty complaint just now, the governor of Nanjun and General Meng of the border I have already led the army to transport all the evidence of the family rebellion behind you."

   "Five thousand warriors, five thousand sets of armor, you are really brave!"

   Wow!

   At the end, Ying Zheng was furious. With a wave of his sleeve, more than a dozen volumes of bamboo slips recording various crimes of the four major clans and the nobles of Nanjun were thrown at the faces of the people below.

He said angrily: "Abducting and selling children, harvesting and cutting off children, raising taxes privately, stealing commercial taxes, murdering the county magistrate, oppressing the victims of disasters... all these crimes, if it weren't for Mo Qing to investigate Knowing the truth, it is really hard to imagine that there are such a group of hidden pests in the land of the widows."

   "You still have the face to be wronged. I really want to know how many brains you have to dare to commit such unspeakable and unforgivable crimes."

   "Didn't you always want to deal with it simply? The widow will fulfill you, come here!"

"exist!"

  Ying Zheng yelled at the door, and soon, two guards walked into Zhangtai Palace and bowed to Ying Zheng.

   "According to the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, all those who conspire to rebel will be barbarians. Let this group of criminal accomplices be suppressed by the widow, and they will be executed tomorrow."

   "Yes, Your Majesty!"

   The two guards responded, and then quickly recruited a group of guards, directly pressing down a group of Nanjun ministers and walking towards the outside of the palace.

   "You are wronged! Your Majesty."

   "My lord spares my life."

   "The queen mother, the queen mother saves the minister! Lord Changping, Lord Changwen..."

  ······

   Seeing a good situation, it took a turn for the worse in an instant.

   A group of Nanjun ministers who were taken away were frightened and turned pale. At this time, Chang Ping Jun and Chang Wen Jun, who were on the side, also felt a cold sweat seeping from their backs.

   And just when the Minister of Nanjun was about to be pulled out of the palace, Ying Zheng suddenly added another sentence: "Mr. Changping, if you ask for execution tomorrow, I will let you supervise the execution!"

  Hearing these words, Mr. Changping, who had already lost much color on his face, suddenly became paler.

  Finally, after a short pause, Mr. Changping still stood up, and said with difficulty: "I... take orders."

   Then Ying Zheng turned to Changwen Jun with indifferent eyes and said: "As for Chang Wenjun, if I remember correctly, most of the officials in Nanjun are recommended by you, right?"

  Chang Wenjun's body trembled, and he said slowly: "I am guilty!"

   Ying Zheng snorted coldly: "You are indeed guilty. During this time, you should stay in the mansion and not come out."

  Chang Wenjun's expression froze, then he cupped his hands and saluted, saying: "Your servant, take orders!"

  Although in theory, after the "recommended" violates the law, the "recommender" should be guilty of the same crime, but in reality, it is basically impossible for this to happen.

  However, the implication of Lord Changping and Lord Changwen this time was not an ordinary mistake, and naturally it was impossible to solve it easily with three glasses of wine as in the past.

  That's why Ying Zheng deliberately ordered Changping Jun to be executed. This move can be called 'killing people'.

   "The old man should go too!"

  After Lord Changping, Lord Changwen and others all left, the Empress Dowager Huayang also stood up from her seat, intending to leave Zhangtai Palace.

   "Government to send grandmother."

   Seeing the Empress Dowager Huayang get up, Ying Zheng also stood up quickly, and at the same time personally came to the Empress Dowager Huayang to help her out of the palace.

  Before leaving.

  The Empress Dowager Huayang stared at Ying Zheng for a while, then sighed, and said, "I didn't expect that so many years have passed in a blink of an eye, and even the king has grown up!"

  Ying Zheng met the Empress Dowager Huayang's eyes, showed a gentle smile, and replied: "People will always change, just like my grandmother used to be from Chu State, but now she is the Queen Mother of Qin State."

  The Empress Dowager Huayang took a meaningful look at Ying Zheng, then said nothing more, and turned around slowly to leave...
