Chapter 161 The dragon slayer has become an evil dragon, sowing the seeds for Ying Zheng!
Outside Qinian Palace, Zhao Ji is waiting here.
Looking at Lu Buwei walking out of the palace, Zhao Ji sneered: "You gave everything, even..."
Me!
The long nails pierced the palms of her hands. Zhao Ji tried her best to control her emotions and did not say the last word, but her expression became more and more mocking:
"Then what?"
"We couldn't get anything we wanted after all!"
Lu Buwei smiled: "I got it."
Zhao Ji retorted: "Really?"
"Is it the tattered book you left for Zheng'er, or the retainers you left in the court?"
"You think you are the leader, but you are just a benefactor in the female clan."
"Those disciples flatter you, flatter you, agree with your views, and agree with your remarks. You think you have civilized them. , made them look like you, but all they did was your money!”
“Now that you have nothing, do you think they will continue to spread your thoughts with you in mind?”
“They will use all means to seduce the next patron, shamelessly take advantage of that person, and try their best to become the shape that person wants!”
Lu Buwei Shaked his head: "It's different."
Looking at the well-dressed ministers through the palace gate, Zhao Ji's sarcasm has reached its peak: "It's different?" Dancing Girl is a little bit different!”
If she talks about anything else, Zhao Ji’s head is empty and she can only talk about Aba Aba.
But when Zhao Ji discovered the similarities between the Gongun princes and the dancing girl, Zhao Ji returned to the area she was familiar with.
Zhao Ji is very familiar with the things that happen in the female concubine!
Facing Zhao Ji's aggressive attitude, Lu Buwei nodded slightly: "You are right."
"They, no, all of us are indeed no different from the dancing girls in the female clan."
“But even among the dancing girls there are loyal and trustworthy people!”
As he spoke, Lu Buwei turned his head and looked through the palace door at Ying Zheng and Ying Zheng who were sitting side by side on the high platform. Ying Chenglong.
Lu Buwei knew very well that except for Jiang Zan and a few dozen others, his thousands of diners were no different from the dancing girls. They all came for wealth and fame.
Lu Buwei never expected these disciples to promote Lu Buwei's ideas.
So at the end of his power, Lu Buwei did not waste any time helping his disciples fight for power, but spent all his energy on Yingchuan County.
I just hope that Yingchuan County can be cultivated into an excellent demonstration field, so that Ying Zheng can see the benefits of lenient policies and suspended sentences, and then accept Lu Buwei's point of view.
Yes.
From beginning to end, Lu Buwei just wanted to leave his seed in Ying Zheng’s body!
As long as this goal is achieved, Lu Buwei will not lose everything!
After Zhao Ji was silent for more than ten breaths, she suddenly turned away and said in a complicated voice: "Even if you said this, I can't forgive you."
"I never wanted to be A loyal and righteous man, I just want to be a woman who lives happily!"
Lu Buwei:? ? ?
If you didn’t say it, I wouldn’t even know I was praising you!
While talking, a group of guards walked towards Lu Buwei and said in a deep voice:
"Lü Buwei, many of Xiong Ye's reports against you need to be investigated, so come with me."
Lü Buwei There was no excuse, he just stretched out his hands and let a pair of shackles cuff his wrists.
Watching Lu Buwei being taken away by the guards, Zhao Ji sighed softly: "Man, why don't you understand the most essential happiness between people."
"But it's always for those Are you willing to die for the things outside your body? ”
"Nangong, go back to the palace!"
Zhao Ji turned to the left.
Lao Ai goes to the right.
Lu Buwei moved forward.
The carriage took away half of the country that once could influence the country with just a few gestures.
In the back, the brave men who killed the evil dragon were cutting up the dragon's body, preparing to enjoy the carnival!
"Do you feel sorry for Lu Buwei?" Ying Zheng's voice was a little surprising: "I thought you would be the happiest person after Lu Buwei was dismissed."
Ying Zheng dismissed Lu Buwei with some reasons. There are many and complex reasons.
Lü Buwei’s many designs on Ying Chengyu and his unabashed murderous intention were also important reasons why Ying Zheng wanted to get rid of Lu Buwei.
Whoever dares to harm my younger brother must pay a heavy price, so as to warn those who come after him!
But now it seems that my brother is somewhat sympathetic to Lu Buwei?
Ying Chengxuan also looked surprised: "Brother, how can I feel sorry for you?"
"It's too late for me to be happy!"
Ying Chengxuan did nothing to kill Lu Buwei. Heart.
Because Lu Buwei is really good to Ying Zheng, and in Ying Chengyu's view, as long as you are good to my eldest brother, we are good partners.
But this does not mean that Ying Chengxuan likes Lu Buwei, nor does it mean that Ying Chengxuan does not want Lu Buwei to fall.
Who would want the person who once wanted to kill him to keep holding a knife!
Ying Zheng asked in confusion: "That brother just now?"
Ying Chengyu looked at the audience with interest: "I'm just feeling a little emotional. Once Lu Buwei leaves, the next days will be... It’s lively.”
“Brother, prepare to enjoy a different kind of court.”
Ying Zheng also looked towards the audience, and saw Xiong Xia once again handed over his hand: "I will play again!"
"Wei Junjiao is playing, and the subordinate country Heping withholds the rewards and sacrifices given by the imperial court to Weiguo. , and treated the Wei Kingdom harshly. "
"In the seventh year of the Qin Dynasty, He Ping recruited three hundred soldiers and fifty maids from the Wei Kingdom."
"In the eighth year of the Qin Dynasty, He Ping forced the Wei State to collect thousands of grains and grass. "
"In the ninth year of the Qin Dynasty..."
The charges came out of Xiong Xia's mouth one by one, and they were finally summarized into one sentence: "All the evidence of the crime has been listed outside the palace gate. The king of Wei is writing here, please see it!"
Holding a silk book in both hands, Xiong Xia bowed deeply. Li Si walked quickly towards Xiong Xia, while Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice: "Where is He Ping from the Dian Kingdom?"
He Ping's forehead was covered with cold sweat. From the moment Lu Buwei left Qinian Palace, He Ping had a bad feeling.
Because He Ping was not only a retainer recommended by Lu Buwei to the court, but also continued to side with Lu Buwei during the war.
He Ping originally thought that he would gain wealth after the war, but there were no eggs left after the nest was overturned!
Wiping the sweat from his palms on his sleeves, He Ping hurriedly stepped out of the queue and raised his hands: "I'm here!"
Ying Zheng's voice became deeper and deeper: "Is what Wei Junjiao played true? ”
He Ping wanted to deny it.
But he didn’t think he could hide it from Da Qin’s intelligence system, so he had no choice but to hand it over: “It’s true!”
Immediately afterwards, He Ping explained quickly: "But what I did was all justified."
"Yewang County of Dongjun is also our territory of Great Qin. It's just that the king is kind and will This city was granted to the State of Wei, and the State of Wei was enshrined in the ancestral temple. "During the war, our country, Qin, was short of food and grass. As a vassal of our country, how could Wei State not want to support it?"
" Yewang County is our territory of Great Qin, how can we not recruit grain and grass from Yewang County? "
The relationship between Great Qin and Wei is very complicated.
In the sixth year of the Qin Dynasty, Qin seized part of the territory of Wei and all of Wei. However, the Qin Dynasty did not eliminate the ancestral temple of Wei, but only deposed Wei Yuanjun, and then granted Yewang County to Zinanjiao, and named Zinanjiao as Wei. The king of the country, Xu Zinanjiao, continued to worship the ancestral temple in Yewang County.
Nominally, the Wei Kingdom still exists, and the main task of the vassal state is to connect with the Wei Kingdom.
But in fact, the Wei Kingdom has long existed in name only, and is actually part of the territory of Da Qin.
On weekdays, it would be decent for Da Qin to be polite to Wei Guo, but how could He Ping worry so much when food and grass were in short supply?
Xiong Qi said quietly: "This is against the law!"
He Ping said anxiously: "But this is all for the sake of the Qin Dynasty!"
Xiong Qi's voice was still calm: "A violation of the law is a violation of the law."
"Every official has his or her own duties. Everyone has their own limits, and breaking the rules is a violation of the rules!"
Xiong Qi bowed his hands to Ying Zheng and said, "I advise you to judge it as a crime of violating the order."
< br>"Remove from his post and punished with ten years of ghost pay!"
It would be fine if he was just dismissed from his official position. The worst he could do was for He Ping to find a job in another country.
But He Ping couldn't accept the punishment of being a ghost for ten years!
Ghost salary, as the name suggests, is the job of collecting firewood for the ancestral temple.
But how can the ancestral temple get so much firewood?
So ghost wages are just another name for light labor reform, that is, they may be engaged in government chores, handicraft production labor, or other various manual labor.
If in later generations, they would be engaged in transformation work such as stacking express boxes, assembling umbrellas, and pickling candied garlic.
And such a transformation will take ten years!
He Ping doesn’t even know if he can survive ten years!
He Ping hurriedly handed over his hand: "Your Majesty, although I violated the order, there was a reason for it!"
He Ping was cruel and chose to throw the blame to Lu Buwei: "It is the prime minister who ordered me to do this. ”
"Although my ministers have exceeded the rules, they have not violated the orders!"
Ying Zheng looked at Feng Quji: "What does Feng Tingwei think of Lord Changping's words?"
Feng Quji He said prudently: "From the perspective of punishment in the "Qin Code", there is no problem."
"And Dian Guoping has no title to offset the crime, so he can only be punished in full."
" But taking into account the cause, I think the punishment should be reduced to three years of ghost pay.”
Feng Quji also wanted to refute Xiong Qi.
But He Ping confessed, and Xiong Qi’s sentence was indeed determined in accordance with the "Qin Code". Feng Quji could only think of ways to deal with the sentence.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "In that case, I will follow Lord Changping's advice."
He Ping's legs became weak and he knelt down on the ground and said in a miserable voice: "Thank you, guilty minister. Your Majesty!"
Seeing He Ping being pulled out of Qinian Palace by the guards, Chang Yun and others felt uncomfortable.
He Ping was the first vassal of Lu Buwei to be defeated by a relative of the Chu family.
But it will definitely not be the last one.
Except for a very few people such as Li Si and Jiang Zan, there are also a few ministers who hang out in the court who have nothing to criticize?
Without the protection of Lu Buwei, they are so weak, pitiful, and helpless in this huge court!
As expected, before He Ping was pulled out of the palace, Xiong Xia couldn't wait to speak again: "I'll play again!"
Ying Zheng interrupted Xiong Xia's report: "If you don't eat anymore, the food will be cold."
Xiong Xia sincerely shouted: "How can the important affairs of the country be delayed because of the meal?"
>
"I am willing to starve to death! We can no longer allow traitors to hide in the court!"
Behind Xiong Xia, nearly 40% of the courtiers stood up and shouted in unison:
"I am willing to bear the hunger in my belly, just to change the court to be clear and peaceful!"
Looking at the roaring crowd standing behind Xiong Xia, Ying Chengyu took a sip of his wine, his eyes dark.
Are these 40% of courtiers rising out of concern for the country and the people?
No!
This is the Chu family relative showing off his muscles.
He is making an announcement to Ying Zheng.
The former master is gone, and now, I am the master of this court!
And you?
Just be obedient!
