Chapter 128 My brother Wang who protects the calf is here!
March 15th, the ninth year of Qin Wangzheng's reign.
"Woooooo~"
The melodious sound of the horn spread throughout Yongcheng.
Almost all the people in high positions in Yongcheng have been waiting at the Yonghe Pier early.
In the eyes of everyone looking forward to it, a giant mirage ship broke through the morning fog, and the black bird standing on the bow of the ship fluttered its wings and was about to fly!
Standing behind Xuannio, Ying Zheng looked at Yongcheng in the distance and murmured with emotion: "This is Yongcheng!"
Yongcheng was not repaired for more than two hundred years after it became the capital of Qin. Was it because the King of Qin at that time didn't like city walls?
No!
It’s because Da Qin is very poor and cannot afford to build a city wall!
At the time of Qin Linggong, the Qin Dynasty moved its capital to Jingyang. Was it because Qin Linggong was tired of staying in Yongcheng?
No!
Because at that time, the Wei State had already taken all the Hexi land of the Qin State and fought all the way to the end of the country. Qin Linggong directly moved the capital to the front line because he was determined that the King of Qin would defend the country. If he failed, he would die and the country would be destroyed!
Few Qin kings were willing to return to Yongcheng.
But every King of Qin warned the next King of Qin that he must go back to Yongcheng!
Because Yongcheng carries the most unbearable memories of the Qin Dynasty.
The nineteen Qin kings buried under Yongcheng are shouting to all their descendants: March eastward! Go east!
Now, Ying Zheng wants to add one more thing to the already overwhelming number of misfortunes.
Mother and son kill each other!
Ying Zheng only hopes that he can add another bad thing to Da Qin, instead of letting the royal family named Ying be completely ruined in his hands!
"Greetings, Your Majesty!!!"
The shouts of tens of thousands of people pierced through all the noise and also pierced Ying Zheng's thoughts, reaching Ying Zheng's ears clearly.
When Ying Zheng came back to his senses, he saw that there were already people standing outside the Yonghe Pier.
The outermost layer is the head of Guizhou as far as the eye can see. Everyone is so excited and excited.
A large number of guards guarded the middle level, isolating the Guizhou leaders from Lao Ai, Shi Cang and other officials.
Ying Chengyu stood at the position closest to the pier, with his hands folded in front of the board, but his feet were about to jump up!
Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile: "We haven't seen each other for a few months. I haven't grown much, but I have become more childish."
"No courtesy."
Zhao Gao et al. The eunuch puffed up his cheeks and shouted loudly: "No courtesy!"
The officials in Yongcheng hurriedly raised their hands and shouted again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
In the eyes of a pair of people with excitement, expectation, anxiety and hatred, the mirage giant ship slowly moored at the Yonghe Pier.
“Brother Wang!”
As soon as Ying Zheng got off the boat, Ying Chengyu ran over.
First he bowed his hands in a serious manner, and then asked in a low voice with excitement and surprise: "Brother, why are you here today?"
The day when Ying Zheng was crowned was October 1st. Eh.
It's only March now, and there's still more than half a year until the crowning.
Ying Chengyu did not expect that Ying Zheng would arrive in Yongcheng today.
Ying Zheng smiled and asked, "Didn't you ask Brother Wei to come?"
Ying Chengyu looked shocked: "Brother, have you misunderstood me?"< br>
“I just want my eldest brother to give me some advice and help me, but I didn’t ask you to come to Yongcheng in person!”
I just know that I have no political wisdom, I have exhausted all the tricks I can use, and I feel a little uneasy that the situation is out of my control, so I just want you to help me come up with some ideas.
My brother not only sent you a secret message, but also sent a secret message to my mother and concubine seeking advice.
But I just want a suggestion, and I didn’t want you to come directly!
Ying Zheng smiled softly: "Brother Wei, I really can't think of any other way that would be safer than coming to Yongcheng in person."
Ying Chengping:! ! !
What you said makes so much sense, I am speechless!
But why is it so ridiculous that I just want a small carving knife for handicrafts, but you bought me a five-axis CNC machine tool?
Seeing that Ying Chengyu's face was full of doubts about life, Ying Zheng's mouth turned up slightly, but then he lowered the curve and looked at Shi Cang:
"Yongcheng County Magistrate Cang?"
Shi Cang hurriedly took a step forward and bowed his hands in a trembling voice: "Greetings, hello to the king!"
Ying Zheng asked quietly: "Has the thief who set the fire been captured and brought to justice?"
Shi Cang's voice trembled even more: "Reporting to the king, I have not yet captured the thief who set the fire."
"I am scared! Please punish me!"
Ying Zheng turned to Lu Buwei: "Father Zhong, how do you think this kind of dereliction of duty should be dealt with?"
Lv Buwei He said softly: "Anyone who neglects his duty should be punished according to law!"
Lao Ai immediately came out of the queue, bowed her hands in greeting, and said in a deep voice: "The order of the Queen Mother!"
"The fire in Dazheng Palace was caused by thieves, and the county magistrate had no fault."
"The county magistrate Cang performed his duties faithfully and led the city guards to protect the city for a meritorious service! He should be rewarded!"
Lü Buwei's eyes darkened: "He neglected his duty and allowed thieves to enter the city and set fire to it. In the eyes of the Queen Mother, it is still a meritorious service?"< br>
Lao Ai smiled and cupped her hands: "The Queen Mother is kind and does not want to see her loyal ministers suffer."
Lao Ai's smile was very confident and proud.
Are you the King of Qin?
Are you Xiangbang?
Sorry, Yongcheng is my territory! The Queen Mother is standing behind me!
Ying Zheng faced the direction of Dazheng Palace and bowed his hands: "The queen mother is kind and she should set an example for the world!"
"I should respect my mother's orders."
"However, our great Qin will be rewarded for its merits and punished for its mistakes. What do you think, Father Zhong?"
Ying Zheng seems to be saying that he must listen to Zhao Ji However, as soon as the words "rewards must be rewarded for merit and punishment for demerits", Ying Zheng's attitude was expressed.
Lü Buwei ordered in a deep voice: "Send the order!"
"Depose the county magistrate Cang from his position as county magistrate, promote Shicang to be the general of the Shaofu Zuozhonghou, and punish the Zuozhonghou Cangzhang. Thirty!”
However, four legal officials quickly ran down from the boat and directly pushed Shi Cang to the ground.
“Bah~bah!”
Spitting into the palm of his hand, the official held a solid wooden stick and hit Shi Cang on the back.
“Ah!!!”
A heavy stick hit Shi Cang on the back. The pain was so painful that he subconsciously turned over to hide his back.
The official's staff landed heavily on Shi Cang's abdomen again.
“Ugh~~~” Breakfast spurted out along Shi Cang’s throat, and Shi Cang curled up again like a cooked prawn.
The severe pain awakened Shi Cang's reason.
Before the next stick hit, Shi Cang hurriedly knelt on the ground, his forehead touching the ground, his hands around the back of his head, and his hips raised high.
As a local official, Shi Cang knew very well that this posture was indeed shameful, but it was the best way to protect himself from the punishment of the rod!
The legal official curled his lips: "I met an expert."
As he spoke, the legal official's hands became a little stronger.
“Ah!!!”
Lao Ai shouted angrily: “Stop!”
"The Queen Mother's order is because the county magistrate has merit! He should be rewarded!"
"How can Prime Minister Lu lightly punish?"
Lv Buwei asked in a deep voice: "The Yongcheng County Magistrate is worth a thousand stones. , and will be appointed as the Zuozhonghou of the Shaofu, is it not a reward?"
Lao Ai was furious.
Is this a reward?
Judging from the official rank, he has indeed been promoted.
But if the county magistrate can take charge of one side, he can more effectively help Lao Ai fight for the big position.
What about Zuo Zhonghou?
There are three superiors above, and Zuo Zhonghou, who will be the Shaofu, is purely engaged in infrastructure construction. How can he help Lao Ai!
Lao Ai asked seriously: "Isn't thirty punishments with a rod also a reward?"
Lu Buwei said in a deep voice: "The Queen Mother exempted the county magistrate Cang from failing to defend the city and allowing the thieves to enter the city and set fire to the city."
"However, the county magistrate Cang has still not been able to capture the thief and bring him to justice. This is dereliction of duty!" "
"You should be punished!"
Shi Cang looked at Lao Ai expectantly: "Lai Huancheng~!"
Lai Ai's eyes were fixed. Looking at Lu Buwei, he shouted angrily in a low voice: "The Queen Mother will be very angry because of this!"
Lu Buwei asked back: "Just because of the thirty sticks?"
"If the Queen Mother is furious because of this, the truth should be revealed to the Queen Mother. There is no need for Lao Huancheng to worry about the truth!"
< br>Lao Ai didn't speak anymore, but she was even more angry in her heart.
He knew very well that Lu Buwei was determined to beat Shicang, and this was not based on Lao Ai's words.
So what if Lao Ai's eloquent tongue can convince Lu Buwei?
The beating is over!
Looking at Shi Cang who was kneeling on the ground and whining uncontrollably, Sun Xi and other subordinates showed unbearable expressions and looked away.
The performance of Sun Xi and others aroused Lao Ai's anger.
Is Ying Zheng spanking Shi Cang?
Ying Zheng was clearly slapping his Lao Ai in the face!
Lao Ai looked at Ying Zheng who could not disobey Zhao Ji's order, but found that Ying Zheng did not look at him, not even at Shi Cang.
He just smiled and looked at Ying Chengyu.
Brother Wang, do you feel comfortable?
If anyone insults my brother, I will not spare him lightly!
Ying Chengyu also quietly extended a thumbs up and laughed in a low voice: "Brother is mighty!"
As a result, Ying Zheng couldn't hide his smile at all.
Looking at the smile on Ying Zheng's face, it was hard for Lao Ai not to suspect that this was Ying Zheng's mockery of him.
Taking a deep breath to suppress the anger in her heart, Lao Ai could only hand over her hand again: "The Queen Mother has been waiting for the king for a long time. Please, the king, hurry up and drive to the Yang Palace!"
Since there is no way to stop it! If the official punishes Shi Cang with his stick, then let Ying Zheng take everyone away.
As long as the subordinates can't see Shi Cang being punished with the rod, Lao Ai's face will feel better.
Ying Zheng looked surprised: "The Queen Mother moved to Zhuyang Palace?"
Lao Ai nodded: "Dazheng Palace has been burned by flames, and it will be difficult for people to live in it before it is rebuilt."
"So The Queen Mother has moved to the Jiuyang Palace and invites the king to pay homage to the Queen Mother. "
Ying Zheng turned to ask: "Is the Queen okay?"
Lao Ai said in a deep voice. And to: "Report to the King, and he will be protected by the King's great blessings, and the sea of fire will not dare to invade the Queen Mother."
"However, the Queen Mother was already distracted because of the rumors."
"I saw the fire again a few days ago, and now I am even more worried."
"I heard that the king is coming to Yongcheng. The Queen Mother is now in a better mood."
"May I ask if the king can go to Xianyang Palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother?"
Ying Zheng sighed: "I am unable to do so. Only when you do what you should do will your mother be worried!”
Lao Ai was furious.
Stop sighing, you should go!
The legal official suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the duty of the staff has been completed!"
The four legal officials made way for the space, allowing Shicang to appear in everyone's sight.
When Shi Cang arrived, he was still wearing his official robes and looked extraordinary.
At this moment, Shi Cang was kneeling on the ground like a dead dog, his back was a bloody mess, and his spine could even be faintly seen!
Obviously, Shicang was disabled after being punished with the rod!
Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "After the punishment is over, you are innocent."
"Hurry up and change your official uniform for Zuozhong Houcang."
On the count With tens of thousands of people watching, Shi Cang was stripped of his clothes and put on an official uniform with a rank of 1,200 shi.
The official uniforms are more luxurious, but the people under them wish to die!
At this point, Ying Zheng smiled and looked at Lao Ai: "Since the Queen Mother is already waiting impatiently, I will go to Zhuyang Palace as soon as possible."
"Let's get started, Lord Chang'an will follow. Attendant!”
Looking at Ying Zheng’s back, Lao Ai clenched her hands into fists.
The wound that was scratched by the nail when I was clenching my fists a few days ago has not been healed yet, and the bloody scab has been broken by Lao Ai again!
The standardized staff responsibility in film and television dramas was established after a long period of development. Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties determined that the staff responsibility was on the buttocks. The law of the Tang Dynasty stipulated: 'The person who decides the staff should bear the responsibility on the back, legs and buttocks'. After that, the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties continued to improve it, forming the stick punishment in our impression. Before the Han Dynasty, the punishment part of the stick punishment was relatively random.
