Chapter 123 The First Emperor meets Xiang Yu (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)
Xiang Yu in another prison car snorted: "What a great city, with my 30,000 soldiers, we will definitely be able to defeat this city!"
After more than half a month, Meng Yi and Meng Tian have also understood the character of this heavy-eyed boy. Compared with his peers, he is indeed superior, but he also has many shortcomings, especially his arrogance and arrogance at times.
Seeing that Meng Yi and Meng Tian refused to argue with him, Xiang Yu felt that he had been humiliated and said angrily: "Are you kidding me? If you have the guts, let me out and fight with my 30,000 soldiers!"
Meng Tian simply ignored Xiang Yu.
Originally, in his mind, people with double pupils should be far superior to their peers in all aspects, whether in body or mind, otherwise how could they be worthy of the legend left by double pupils in the world, but Xiang Yu's appearance broke his idea.
Of course, maybe Xiang Yu, the boy with double pupils, is only ten years old and has not grown up yet. Maybe when he grows up, he will be worthy of the legend of a person with double pupils.
It's a pity that the double-eyed son of the Xiang family is unlucky, and he probably has no future...
Meng Yi glanced at Xiang Yu and thought to himself: 'In the history mentioned by Li Nian , you really entered Xianyang and slaughtered Xianyang to the ground. ’
I heard crying not far from Xianyang. It was the Xiang clan members in other prison cars. They would all die when they arrived in Xianyang.
The crying made Xiang Yu irritated, and he shouted: "Why are you crying? If you die, what should you fear? I, a descendant of the Xiang family, must not let the people of Qin look down upon me even if I die!"
Xianyang, Zhangtai Palace, Yingzheng Sitting high on the throne, he calmly looked at several members of the Xiang clan who were escorted into the palace.
Although the two parties were enemies and might even be about to be executed by Ying Zheng, Xiang Liang and several members of the Xiang clan still saluted Ying Zheng.
“I have met King Qin!”
After all, no matter how much hatred there is, the other party is still a king and should be treated with courtesy.
Of course, the etiquette performed by the Xiang family was only the etiquette for foreign ministers to meet the king of other countries, not a grand ceremony.
Only Xiang Yu, not only did he not salute, but he held his head high and looked directly at Ying Zheng.
Seeing that the Xiang family members were prisoners, they did not pay homage with great ceremony, but only saluted in ordinary ways. The young man from the Xiang family was even more incapable of any courtesy. Looking directly at Ying Zheng, a chamberlain shouted angrily: "How bold, how dare you? How dare you be so rude ..."
Ying Zheng waved his hand to stop the servant, and his eyes fell on Xiang Yu: "Are you Xiang Ji?"
Xiang Yu asked without answering: "Are you the King of Qin? "< br>
Ying Zheng was not angry and said calmly: "If there is no other King of Qin in the world, then I am. Since you entered the palace, you have been looking at me, but what did you see?"
Xiang Yu said: "It turns out that I am the king of Qin. I thought that the King of Qin was also a heroic person, but I never thought that he was nothing. You cowards sent tens of thousands of Qin troops to capture my ten-year-old child. King Qin’s actions will probably make everyone in the world laugh at him.”
Such words will most likely anger King Qin, but Xiang Liang is on the side. The man was indifferent and did not stop Xiang Yu at all, letting him speak.
At this point, they have completely given up hope. The fate of their Xiang clan will definitely end tragically. What does it matter whether Xiang Yu says it or not?
It would be better to let Xiang Yu say it out loud and scold the King of Qin, at least to relieve his anger before he dies.
Hearing Xiang Yu's words, Ying Zheng said with profound meaning: "You are not an ordinary child!"
Xiang Yu thought that Ying Zheng was saying that he had double pupils and was not an ordinary child, so he said: "This is not the case. Does it appear that you are more timid? If it were me, even if someone with double pupils was my enemy, I would let them grow up and not be afraid of them. , fight with him openly, why should you be afraid?”
From the brief conversation, Ying Zheng already roughly knew Xiang Yu’s character, and shook his head and said: “As Li Nian said, although he is not strong, But it will show the future.”
Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu were startled, who is Li Nian?
From what King Qin meant, it seemed that the disaster that the Xiang clan encountered had something to do with Li Nian?
Ying Zheng lost interest in chatting with Xiang Yu anymore, looked at Xiang Liang, and said, "Are you Xiang Liang, the son of Chu general Xiang Yan?" "Yes!"
Ying Zheng asked: "How do you think I should deal with the Xiang family?"
Xiang Liang's expression was calm: "Big The king has his own decision in his heart, so why should he ask me? Could it be that the king wants to see us kneel down and kowtow, begging for our lives? What will happen to us today is that we will be the winner and the loser!"
Ying Zheng! He nodded, looked at Xiang Liang and said, "You are a smart man, but it's a pity that you were born into the wrong family."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly became cold and he said: "The Xiang family harbored evil intentions and deliberately conspired to rebel. Now the evidence is conclusive. According to Qin law, the clan will be exterminated!"
"Three days later, they will be executed in the east city of Xianyang. No one is allowed to intercede for the Xiang clan!”
Hearing that Ying Zheng ordered the Xiang clan to be exterminated, Brother Meng Yi and Meng Tian sighed in their hearts even though their faces were expressionless.
The Xiang clan not only includes adults like Xiang Liang, but also women and children. Some children are even ignorant, but now they are all being killed together with their parents and uncles.
But Meng Yi immediately thought of what Li Nian said in history, Xiang Yu massacred Xianyang after entering Xianyang. At that time, there were no women and children in Xianyang City, and were there any ignorant children?
It can only be said that this time it was the king who made the first move and did not let Xiang Yu grow up.
Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu did not show much excitement or anger towards Ying Zheng’s plan to exterminate their clans. They had already expected it, so why should they be angry?
Xiang Yu looked at Ying Zheng and said: "King Qin, sooner or later, Qin will follow in the footsteps of Chu. I will take the first step and wait for you underground!"
Xiang Liang and others But they saluted Ying Zheng again: "Thank you, King Qin!"
They saluted because although Ying Zheng ordered them to be executed, he did not order them to be tortured with the tortures in Qin's laws before they died. They just killed them.
Qin's laws have many cruel laws, such as beheading and beating, just like the three tribes of Yi.
The Yi clan is not as simple as just killing the people of the three clans with one sword, but there is an extremely cruel process.
The first step is to tattoo, the second step is to cut off the fingers and toes, the third step is to chop off the fingers and toes, the fourth step is to kill them, the fifth step is to cut off their heads, and the sixth step is to chop them into meat paste.
The King of Qin did not use these cruel methods on them, but just chopped off their heads, which was considered a mercy.
Ying Zheng had no intention of concealing the execution of the entire Xiang family, so it didn’t take long for the Qin government and everyone to learn the news.
In the Liuying Palace, Li Nian remained silent for a long time after receiving the news. The Xiang clan was destroyed, and he could be said to be the chief culprit.
If he had not told the history to let the First Emperor know, how could the First Emperor have murderous intentions towards the Xiang family and order Meng Yi to lead his army to capture the whole family back to Xianyang and execute them?
'There must be hundreds or even thousands of people in the Xiang clan. Counting their age, Xiang Yu is only ten years old. He is still a child who has not grown up. There are still younger people in the Xiang clan than him. A child? ’
‘Because of me, I’m going to die! ’
Although he didn’t like Xiang Yu and felt that the Xiang family was at fault, Li Nian still felt heavy when he thought of many children dying because of him.
After thinking about it, Li Nian wrote a bamboo slip, not pleading for the Xiang family. In this matter, his pleading could not change the First Emperor's decision. He just wanted the First Emperor to treat the children of the Xiang family in a different way. method of execution.
After the First Emperor received the bamboo slip written by Li Nian, he only replied one sentence on the bamboo slip: If Xiang Yu entered Xianyang at this time and was about to massacre the Qin clan, would you have done the same thing? ?
When the bamboo slips returned to Ying Zheng again, and when he saw the word "yes" on the bamboo slips, Ying Zheng whispered: "This is Li Nian!"
