Xianyang City.

Ying Ziye and Zhao Tuo brought people into the palace and submitted the crimes of Qu Fenghou, Zhihou and others to Zhangtai Palace overnight.

The First Emperor Ying Zheng stood up from the bed, dressed in black, and walked over.

"Father!"

"His Majesty!"

Ying Ziye bowed and Zhao Tuo, took out the crime file and handed it over.

Emperor Ying Zheng nodded slightly, sat in front of the desk, spread the file open and carefully checked it.

The lights sway, and the north wind whistles outside the palace.

Emperor Ying Zheng, the First Emperor, examined the crimes described in the file and his face was cold.

Finally, he raised his head, looked at the two of them, and asked in a deep voice: "Minye, what are you going to do with them?"

The speech is dull and makes people unable to see how they are about this matter.

The First Emperor Ying Zheng looked at Ying Ziye with a bright look, obviously comparing him.

Ying Ziye bowed his hand and said with a serious expression: "Report to my father, all those involved in underground casinos, manufacturing counterfeit currency, assassination, etc. will be beheaded!"

"Those who mobilized private guards, thought of being bewitched by others and being blessed by their ancestors, deprived of the Lord and demoted them to civilians."

There was a murderous intent in his voice, but he also showed mercy.

When Emperor Ying Zheng heard this, his originally plain eyes became surprised and looked at Ying Ziye with some confusion.

After all, with his previous iron-blooded methods, it is almost impossible for him to have such kindness.

But in just a moment, Emperor Ying Zheng of the First Emperor seemed to understand the reason and said majestic: "I will announce the imperial edict in the court tomorrow and summon all the marquises and nobles to the court."

"Anyone who has not arrived will be dealt with according to the treason!"

The next day.

It was not dawn.

The waning moon still hangs high in the distance.

The emperor's edict had been passed to the manor where the marquis and nobles lived outside Xianyang City.

"Your Majesty the First Emperor summoned you to the marquis and nobles to come to the palace to pay your respects today, and there must be no mistakes!"

The marquis and nobles heard the eunuch summoned him, and their faces became much more suspicious and cautious, and they faintly smelled an extraordinary smell.

After the eunuch passed the order, everyone started to discuss.

"There must be something strange about this!"

Fang Fenghou frowned and spoke.

"Yes, I think so too."

Another marquis nodded in agreement.

"Would we run away?"

Some nobles suggested.

"I'm afraid you're crazy!"

"There are guards of Mount Li around this manor. When we go out, we will inevitably alarm them, not to mention that hundreds of thousands of troops of Longhou of the South China Sea are stationed outside Xianyang!"

"It's too unrealistic to escape."

A group of marquises and nobles were talking about it.

And he thought of the Marquis of Guangping, Marquis of Sheng Yun, Marquis of Qu Feng, Marquis of Zhi, Marquis of Xingyue, Marquis of Fengqing, Jiang Xingsheng and other marquises who were arrested.

Old Zhuoqinghou and Zhuoqinghou’s grandson fled.

The underground casino and counterfeit currency colluded with Nanyue to sell private salt and iron books, and betrayed the whereabouts of the Eighth Prince to assassinate Nanyue.

If they run away in all kinds of events, wouldn’t it prove that they are accomplices? There is no silver here!

It will be useless to make excuses at that time.

Besides, they did not do these things, but just followed the advice of Lao Zhuoqing and the grandson of the Grand Historians and the others to go to the court to disobey.

It's much lighter than the former.

Thinking of this, Hou Fang Feng and the marquis were much more relaxed.

Not daring to hesitate, everyone hurriedly took a carriage into the city and into the palace.

But on Xianyang City Street, I saw a notice.

Surely there was a crime about their marquis and nobles!

But the punishment has not been written.

The Legalists have a famous saying that punishment is unaware of, but the power is unpredictable!

The general meaning is that when the criminal law is not disclosed, its power is endless.

Everyone will be cautious because they are afraid of breaking the law, and the rulers can also make free decisions.

And now this situation is generally similar to the above.

The absence of punishment undoubtedly made these marquises even more frightened!

There were officials around standing under the notice, preaching loudly to those illiterate people.

Hearing the angry curses of the people, his anger was boiling!

It made the marquises and nobles even more afraid and left in a hurry.

It's time!

In Xianyang Palace.

Above the main hall.

All civil and military officials gathered together, but they lost the ease of the past.

They also saw those notices, which was a major event that alarmed the empire!

"Your Majesty enters the court!"

A feminine eunuch sounded.

The First Emperor Ying Zheng brought the Emperor's sword Tianwen into the court, and stepped onto the high platform step by step, facing the ministers, and angrily scolded: "I didn't expect that in just a few months, the Marquis of Guangping, Marquis of Sheng Yun, Marquis of Qu Feng, etc. would violate the law of the empire."

"I'm so brave. I actually participated in the case of counterfeit currency in the underground casino with the Guanzhong clan, and colluded with Nanyue to smuggle salt and iron!"

"I even betray Midye's whereabouts to Nanyue, and he was asked to assassinate Nanyue!"

"Faced with refusing to implement the conscription law, I will act as a slanderous act to disobey me!"

Words were like thunder, resounding throughout the hall.

All officials and court officials couldn't help but tremble.

The marquis Fang Feng and other marquis and nobles standing in the court were even more panicked and their bodies were trembling slightly.

The First Emperor Ying Zheng announced in a deep voice: "Horse of Guangping, Marquis of Shengyun, Marquis of Qufeng, Marquis of Zhi, Marquis of Xingyue, Marquis of Fengqing, etc., will all be executed!"

After a word fell, more than ten marquises and dozens of nobles were all convicted of death.

The First Emperor Ying Zheng then looked down at the marquis and nobles such as Fang Fenghou, with a cold face and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Fang Feng, do you and others have the same intention to plot against each other?"

The eyes are cold and murderous intent is everywhere!

Faced with the questioning, Marquis Fang Feng and other marquises and nobles kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, we must never have the intention to rebel!"

"The reason why we have not entered Xianyang City for a long time and handed over the elderly, weak, sick and disabled soldiers is because Lao Zhuoqing gave advice."

"I beg your Majesty to give a clear explanation. We have never colluded with Nanyue, nor have we participated in the case of counterfeit currency in the underground casino, nor have we ever betrayed the whereabouts of the Eighth Prince."

"We wait, we are willing to hand over all our private soldiers and serve the country!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I have never thought of rebellion!"

Hou Fang Feng and other marquises kept kowtowing to mercy.

Bang bang bang bang!

Made a dull sound.

Their bodies trembled constantly, their faces were pale, and their eyes were full of fear.

Young Master Fusu's eyes were sad and a hint of helplessness.

A few days ago, he was still thinking about making friends with the empire marquis and nobles and asking them to support themselves.

However, they never expected that the Marquis of Guangping, Marquis of Sheng Yun, Marquis of Qu Feng, Marquis of Zhi and others violated the imperial laws one after another.

All actions were in vain!

Prince Hu Hai looked at him with interest. Once these marquis and nobles were eliminated by their father and their influence disappeared from the army, their seats would be vacant.
