Chapter 722: Cheng Xi kills Cheng Xi, Cheng Xi kills Cheng Xi and kills Ying Zheng! The ministers withdrew a smile!
March 16, the 14th year of the Qin Dynasty.
Da Qin, Xianyang City, Qilin Hall.
The ministers of Great Qin gathered here.
Outside the main hall, there were criminals with fair skin and shackles kneeling on the ground.
Li Si held the silk in his hand and spoke loudly: "Wei Chao, a common man, colluded with common people Wei Chong, common people Zhang Qiong, common people Li Ze, common people...a total of 131 people as cronies."
"Refuse to perform military service." , gathering without orders, secretly raising private soldiers, bribing officials, supporting bandits, secretly coining coins... deceiving the emperor and intending to commit rebellion! "
"This scripture has judged that several crimes will be punished at the same time!"< br>
“The first offender, Wei Chao, a commoner, was sentenced to five punishments, and he belongs to the Yi tribe!”
“Accomplices...”
Before Li Si could finish speaking, Wei Chao raised his head against the suppression of the imperial guards, looked at Ying Zheng with blazing eyes, and roared angrily: "I have been working and studying since the fall of the Wei Dynasty, and I have never violated the rules. "Lü's move!"
"I think that we have set an example for the descendants of the fallen royal family."
"However, Qin is still not satisfied with destroying our country, and even wants to destroy it." I am a remnant of the Wei Dynasty!”
“I am doing this just to protect myself!”
“What a shame, my Gongsun!”
"How can I be a descendant of the Wei royal family?"
As the grandson of the late Wei royal family, if Wei Chao is sentenced to the Yi tribe, then all the descendants of the late Wei royal family will be killed in one sweep!
Except for those children of the old Wei royal family who had already fled to other countries, all the children of the royal family...
all must die!
Even the late Wei Wang Zeng who was exiled to Fangling.
He must die too! ! !
Two imperial guards forcefully pushed Wei Chao to the ground.
But Wei Chao still held his neck high and stared at Ying Zheng: "Today the Qin State will not give us the survivors of the Wei Dynasty a way to survive."
"If the Qin State is destroyed in the future, , other countries will definitely not give you a way to survive for the Qin people!"
"The King of Qin should think twice!"
Wei Chao's cry simply made those who heard it sad and those who heard it shed tears.
Even Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the high platform, had his eyelids drooping slightly.
In fact, Ying Zheng himself felt that this punishment was a bit too cruel.
But uprooting the old Wei forces that had the power to cause rebellion was a strategy initiated by Ying Chengyu and agreed upon by Wei Liao, Wei Zhuang, Han Fei and other think tanks.
In addition to being too cruel, Ying Zheng also believed that the advantages of this strategy outweighed the disadvantages.
So although he couldn't bear it, Ying Zheng still laid a big net and used the opportunity of the Wei survivors to refuse military service to wield an iron fist.
And in this large public place, Ying Zheng cannot show the slightest bit of intolerance!
Ying Zheng just angrily rebuked: "Absurd!"
"We, the Qin Dynasty, treat the newly attached lands with courtesy and leniency, and regard the people of the old Wei as the people of our Qin Dynasty."
< br>"The people are governed by the "New District Provisional Law" to prevent the newly attached people from not knowing and committing crimes."
"Looking around the world, there is no country as benevolent as our Great Qin!"
"You are saying that our Great Qin intends to destroy the people of Wei?"
"I will give you a chance."
"You can tell the people of the world how you learned that our Great Qin intends to destroy the people of the old Wei! How did our Great Qin destroy the people of the old Wei!"
Wei Chao said angrily: "You..."
Wei Chao, who was furious, wanted to denounce the ten crimes of violent Qin on the spot.
Regarding them as the descendants of the old Wei royal family as common people and not giving them any preferential treatment, isn't it necessary to force them to death?
The State of Qin actually wants to recruit them to serve as soldiers on the battlefield. Doesn't this mean that they will die!
Not to mention that Wei Chao heard the knights and retainers say more than once that Bao Qin was planning to kill all the Wei survivors!
But when the words came to his lips, Wei Chao felt something was wrong.
The Wei State has also attacked and destroyed many countries, but the Wei State's treatment of the survivors of those countries was only more ruthless than the Qin State!
Wei is not qualified to accuse Qin from the perspective of treatment after the destruction of the country.
Wei Chao could only shout weakly: "Today's punishment is proof!"
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "The Qin Law is majestic and cannot be shaken!"
“Even though you were descendants of the old Wei royal family in the past, you are now all common people of our great Qin!”
"As a common citizen of our Great Qin, if you violate the laws of our Great Qin, you should be punished according to the law."
"Is this because our Qin wants to destroy the people of the old Wei? This is because the people of the old Wei want to disrupt our great Qin state!"
"Ting Weisi, continue to pronounce the sentence!"
Ignoring Wei Chao who was still roaring below, Li Si read loudly in a louder voice:
"Accomplice Wei Chao, a common citizen Chong, common people Zhang Qiong, common people Li Ze...one hundred and thirty-one people were sentenced to abandon the city, and their entire families were confiscated! "
Hearing Li Si's words, all the criminals kneeling in the square in front of Qilin Palace looked up in disbelief at the figure sitting on the high platform.
As accomplices, their punishment was slightly lighter than that of Wei Chao.
But it is only a little lighter.
Their parents, wives and children will all be killed in succession!
Their property will also be confiscated!
And more than a hundred of them are all the patriarchs or sons of the patriarchs of various powerful families in the old Wei Dynasty.
Once they and their parents and children are killed, the clan will inevitably fall into turmoil!
When the Qin court confiscated their property, they would probably take the opportunity to carefully search for evidence of crimes within their clan.
Thus further expanding the attack!
In an instant, a huge noise broke out in the square in front of Qilin Hall:
"The king of Qin has the cruelty of Jie! The violence of Zhou! If you kill us today, people in the world will rise up and destroy Qin in the future!"
"King Qin, spare your life! Spare your life! I really have not colluded with them. , I was just forced to provide some money and armor, and I am innocent!”
“Qin Wangzheng, let’s wait and see! They will definitely destroy their descendants! "We can't just wait for death! We have to fight to the death with Qin Wangzheng!"
Every criminal is struggling. The criminals even broke away from the imperial guards who were holding them down and rushed towards the Qilin Palace.
Fortunately, all the criminals were wearing heavy shackles, and there were a large number of ministers and policemen guarding the area, so the flames of turmoil were finally extinguished.
Ying Zheng's eyes were as deep as water and his face was as calm as usual as he looked at what was happening at his feet. He said quietly: "I think Ting Wei's sentence is correct."
"Execution is a decision. !”
Li Si raised his hand solemnly: “Wei!”
“Pass the king’s order”
"Execution, decision!"
A famous court official and legal official walked into the square in front of Qilin Hall holding a sword.
The sound of shouting and wailing in the square in front of the palace suddenly increased.
A former prince, Gongsun, was forcefully escorted out of Xianyang Palace and walked towards the city gate to meet their end.
But Dan Fu, with the support of two guards, passed by these death row prisoners.
"Report!" .
Ying Zheng suddenly looked in the direction of Dan Fu, and quickly shouted: "Pass!"
The servant took over the position of the guard, picked up Dan Fu and ran away, taking three steps and two steps at a time He rushed up the stairs of Qilin Hall and stepped into Qilin Hall.
Before waiting for Mr. Dan to greet him, Ying Zheng couldn't wait to ask: "Doctor Dan, is Mr. Chang'an okay?!"
Mr. Dan broke away from the assistant's support, knelt on the ground, cupped his hands and shouted: " Report to the King."
"The Lord of Chang'an is safe!"
"The Lord of Chang'an has defeated the Zhao army at Fukouxing!"
"Our army has won a great victory!" >
"The military report of our army is here, please read it!"
Dan Fu took out a bamboo tube from his arms and offered it with both hands.
There was total silence in the Qilin Hall, and everyone's face was filled with deep astonishment.
Although Li Mu not only killed Huan Jue, he was also particularly feared by Ying Chengyu.
But the monarchs and ministers of Qin Dynasty never doubted whether Ying Chengyu could win.
They were just shocked that they could hear the good news today!
Wang Ben said with a head full of questions: "Chang'an Lord, have you defeated Zhao Jun?"
"Calculating the time, the main force of our army should have entered Changzhi for the first time today."
"Even if Zhao Wuanjun makes a sudden advance in this battle, our army and Zhao army should have just engaged in battle."
"So, victory?!"
How come this time doesn’t match up!
Ying Zheng did not think too much, but immediately ordered: "Submit!"
Meng Yi quickly ran down the platform, took the bamboo tube from Dan Fu's hand, and verified the mud-seal letter Then he quickly opened it and presented the bamboo tube in front of Ying Zheng.
[I obey the king's order and lead the main force of our army eastward to Taihang to resist the invasion of foreign enemies and protect the people of Qin. 】
【I believe that Lord Zhao Wuan will try to end this battle quickly and launch a blitz attack on our great Qin. 】
[Therefore, I personally led the generals and 11,000 elite troops to attack, and ordered 70,000 troops in Shangdang County to rush to Fukouxing. 】
[On March 4, the 14th year, I relieved the siege of Licheng and confronted the Zhao army. 】
[On March 6, the 14th year, Chen led the vanguard and fought with Zhao Jun at Hou'ao Mountain and won. 】
[In this battle, the ministers and the defenders of Licheng captured a total of 49,762 enemy heads, captured 111,396 enemy people, and died in the battle. Two thousand eight hundred and ninety-one people were killed, and twenty-three thousand one hundred and four were seriously injured. 】
【Beheaded two captains of the Zhao army and captured five captains of the Zhao army. 】
[On March 11, the 14th year, Zhao Wuanjun abandoned She County and left. 】
【I believe that Lord Zhao Wuan intends to defend Dongxingkou of Fukou County, take advantage of the geographical advantage to confront our army for a long time, and try to use the danger of Taihang to drag down our granary of Great Qin! 】
【Please show me how to deal with the enemy! 】
[On March 11th in the 14th year of the Qin Dynasty, the prince of Qin Chang'an came to pay homage to the king at a distance in Fukou County! 】
In this single battle, Ying Chengyu’s troops either killed or captured more than 150,000 Zhao soldiers!
But Ying Zheng couldn't laugh.
Ying Zheng’s hand holding the military report was trembling, but his body was as stiff as a tree!
Wei Liao felt very uneasy when he saw this. Seeing that Ying Zheng had not spoken for a long time, he had to step forward and ask, "May I ask your Majesty, how is the battle going in this battle?"
Ying Zheng is such a talented general. The report was handed to Meng Yi with an extremely complicated voice: "Thoughts are with you all."
Meng Yi hurriedly took the military report and recited aloud: "I obey the king's order...capture the enemy one hundred thousand one thousand three hundred." Ninety-six people!”
When Meng Yi thought about Ying Chengyu's achievements in this battle, all the officials in the palace breathed a sigh of relief.
Many courtiers showed expressions of emotion or admiration.
This battle is a great victory!
When Meng Yi read the number of casualties of Ying Chengyu's troops, the smiles that had just been raised by the officials in the palace were quickly suppressed, and every courtier looked shocked.
They finally understood why Ying Zheng showed such an expression.
Just because of this battle, it was too tragic!
