Chapter 319 The Dust Settled, The Emperor's Heart
The five cavalry were ordered to beat the horses with a wave of their whips.
There was a crackling sound from the long whip, and the five horses neighed in pain. With their front hooves raised high, they swooped and galloped, each exerting force in five directions at the same time.
In an instant, Lao Ai was pulled up horizontally, her body was lifted off the ground, her limbs and head were deformed due to the huge force, and when she was about to die, the silk cloth stuffed in her mouth fell, and she let out a scream.
"what!"
The shrill screams resounded through the East Gate Square, and many soldiers at the scene couldn't bear to look directly at them, and all looked sideways to avoid them.
The eyelids of Zhao Gao, Chang Pingjun, Li Si and others jumped wildly, they couldn't bear to look at them.
Ying Zheng looked calm, and watched Lao Ai go through the last journey of his life. For the first time, this king showed his domineering, cruel, ruthless, iron-blooded, and cold side.
He watched Lai Ai's face as calm as water when she died, and even a famous soldier like Wang Ben was slightly terrified.
Chief Ying Zheng let out a sigh of relief, and ordered in a loud voice: "Pass down the widow's Wang Ling, and 23 people from Lai Ai's party members, including Doctor Ling Qi, Nei Shisi, Wei Weijiu, and Baili Lian, participated in the conspiracy and escorted them to the Xianyang execution ground.
"Guests who follow Lai Ai will give up, and those who commit minor crimes will be included as ghost salary. Those who commit serious crimes will be deprived of military titles, military merits, family property and property, and will be relocated to Shuzhou for three years of hard labor."
Exile in Shuzhou, hard labor for three years, is indeed torture, and many people will die.
However, at least Yingzheng did not kill them all. When the king was angry, he laid down millions of corpses, but left them a way out.
In fact, Yingzheng is not a tyrant at all. Compared with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's bewitching changes in his later years and Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate changes, Yingzheng's personal behavior can be regarded as benevolent.
Ying Zheng became a "tyrant" for three reasons.
The first reason is that he established a feudal unified empire for the first time. He has no predecessors to learn from, and he can only explore the strategy of governing the country by himself.
Therefore, Yingzheng will of course draw a conclusion based on Qin’s step-by-step rise, strength, and dominance of the six eastern countries—to rule the country with the law, rule the people with the law, and use the law to strictly demand the words and deeds of the people, so that the country can maintain long-term stability.
It's just that Yingzheng puts too much emphasis on the law, demanding the people all over the world with strict Qin laws, striving for long-term peace and stability, and ignoring people's ambitions for freedom.
The second reason is that Ying Zheng died too early, his descendants were too ineffective, and Qin II died... The rogue emperor Liu Bang came to power and became the number one Qin Hei in the world.
In addition, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty exclusively respected Confucianism and deposed a hundred schools of thought, Confucianism and Confucianism belonged to the same line, "tyranny of the Qin Dynasty" and "burning books to bury Confucianism" at every turn, giving Yingzheng a tyrant hat.
The third reason is that the anti-Qin vanguard, the main forces that defeated the Qin State were the aristocrats and survivors of the Six Kingdoms... These people are the sworn enemies of the Qin State, and Yingzheng's sworn enemy, so naturally they can blacken Yingzheng.
Yingzheng is alive, and the snake dragon lives in hiding, not daring to act recklessly in front of Zulong.
……
At this moment, the sun is rising in the east and the sun is rising
Yingzheng's brows became a little more tired, and he ordered: "Mr. Changping and Lord Changwen, you two will be responsible for putting up the list and reassuring the people."
"Li Si, the matter of the criminal law is up to you."
Lord Changping Xiong Qi cupped his fists and saluted, "No."
Li Si showed joy, cupped his fists and said, "No."
When he was in Xinzheng, the capital of Han, his brother Han Fei introduced King Qin to him, saying that he would show him a path to the top of his official career.
Li Si thought: "It seems that I bet right."
He has the confidence to become the king's confidant step by step, display his talents and learning, and get what he wants.
Fortunately, he made a desperate attempt to intercept Wu Tong, took advantage of the other party's love for talents to restrain him, started a legal debate, and made a great contribution.
As for the Elder Wu Tong who discussed the Dharma with him, he has been captured by Skynet, and he is now being held together with the Elder Miscellaneous who came from a famous family, waiting to be punished.
Yingzheng turned around and said, "Also, pass on this king's decree to expel guest officials from the six countries."
"Since they only want to assist Lu Buwei and Lao Ai, well, now I will kill Lao Ai and dismiss Xiangguo, let them get out of Xianyang."
These people are known as people with lofty ideals and talents, but they are all short-sighted people, people who seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, greedy for life and afraid of death, and tend to follow others.
In this case, the widow does not need you.
"This..." Changping Jun and Li Si's expressions changed slightly.
As civil servants, with their political awareness, they realized that this was a momentary remark of the king, and it was unwise to expel the guest officials of the six countries in this troubled time and Warring States period.
There is one reform method in every country, which is to recruit talents.
However, the king must be angry at this moment, even if he wanted to persuade him, it would not be now.
Ying Zheng walked up to the king's car, flicked his sleeves and said, "I'm tired, I'll come to court again tomorrow morning."
Wang Ben, Changping Jun, Li Si and others bowed in unison: "Farewell, Your Majesty!"
-
Wang Ben personally led the army to set up a list to calm the people, and officials from all walks of life in the Qin State volunteered to help appease the people.
A few hours later, the turmoil in Xianyang City gradually calmed down. Only various rumors began to spread. The news of the Battle of Qinian Palace came out, and so many people witnessed it with their own eyes.
What to say... Ghost Valley is vertical and horizontal, a hundred-year-old wizard, combined vertical and horizontal, unparalleled in the world.
He also said... Li Changqing, the sword fairy, was praised by the king - Kyushu Guimou, the fairy of the sword.
The more you talk, the more exaggerated, some people say... Sword Immortal Li Changqing's twelve zhangs of sword energy slashed down, the net was completely wiped out, the six sword slaves were all killed and wounded, and the net was annihilated with ashes at the flick of a finger.
……
At dusk, the Skynet stronghold
After Li Changqing adjusted his breath, more than [-]% of his overloaded and overdrafted strength recovered, and then he only needed to slowly recuperate to restore his peak state of energy and spirit.
Hearing this information, Li Changqing couldn't laugh or cry: "With a snap of the fingers, the net flies into ashes and annihilates... the more you say it, the more outrageous it is."
In the inner house, Li Changqing looked up and saw that Zi Nu, Yan Ling Ji, Chao Banshee, Shocking Salamander, and Nong Yu were all sorting out information and arranging the aftermath.
In this battle of Skynet, although they became famous in the first battle and defeated the net, there were also many casualties. Pensions, talent recruitment plans, and selection plans also needed to be formulated by them.
Zi Nu put down a piece of information and said: "Qin Wangzheng's car cracked Lai Ai, Wang Ben, Xiong Qi, Li Si and others couldn't bear to look directly at it. Only Qin Wangzheng looked calm and watched the process of Lai Ai's body and death."
Nongyu's eyelids twitched, and he said in surprise: "The punishment of car cracking is known as the cruelest criminal law in the world. Since Shang Yang of Qin State enacted it, besides Shang Yang, Lai Ai is the second person to die under this criminal law."
The startled salamander frowned slightly and said: "Dividing the corpse by five horses is a capital punishment even in Qin State. The deceased must die in a miserable state. Ying Zheng can't change his face."
Yan Lingji raised her head, looked at Li Changqing, and said, "Changqing, I can feel that Ying Zheng is an extremely self-interested and cold person, you have to be careful when working with him."
Hearing this, Li Changqing exhaled lightly and said, "The emperor's throne is the coldest place in the whole world; if it is not colder and more ruthless than that throne, how can you sit still and sit for a long time!"
All the girls raised their heads when they heard the words.
Li Changqing looked around at the girls, smiled lightly, and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
"Report-"
Outside the door, Bai Feng said: "Boss Changqing, King Qin invites you to enter the palace, the horses and chariots have already arrived outside the palace."
Li Changqing replied: "Okay!"
Li Changqing ordered: "Zi Nu, I will leave the aftermath to you."
After giving an order, Li Changqing left.
The girls looked at each other, and Nongyu said, "You tell me, Brother Li helped the King of Qin cut off two serious troubles, Lai Ai and Lu Buwei, and helped him control the military and political power of the Qin State. What gift will the King of Qin give back?"
The startled salamander guessed: "Marquis for military merit?"
The fashionable banshee said: "A reward of tens of thousands of gold? Ten thousand mu of fertile land?"
Yan Lingji was proud of her man, she smiled lightly, and said in a flattering tone, "I don't think King Qin gave Changqing anything? It's what Changqing wants?"
"Three lords and nine ministers... Changqing should be able to choose any of the positions of Lieutenant, General, and even Prime Minister at will. With his talent, he can take any position."
Zi Nu smiled lightly when she heard this.
The girls were puzzled and asked, "Why is Sister Zi Nu laughing?"
Zi Nu looked out the window, her beautiful purple eyes were full of wisdom, as if she knew everything, she whispered softly, "Chang Qing, he doesn't want anything."
