Chapter 490 Idiot, if I don’t listen, how long can I live?
There is no doubt that this is a great act of unfilial piety, even more unfilial than not wanting the prince to enter the capital. Even the Qin Dynasty, which values solving problems with fists and does not value etiquette, cannot accept this unfilial piety.
The officials were in an uproar and talked a lot, and many people's eyes fell on Zong Zheng, who had a gray beard.
Zong Zheng, one of the Nine Qings.
He is in charge of royal relatives and registering family genealogies. If a royal family member is found guilty, his membership will be extinguished.
Qin II got married and Zongzheng made preparations.
Lao Zongzheng was really old and had a serious lack of energy. He sat in front of the case and nodded constantly, feeling drowsy.
Can you sleep in such a cold temperature?
After careful inspection, the ministers discovered that the clothes Lao Zongzheng was wearing were bulging and at least an inch thicker than the clothes everyone else was wearing!
It was as if Lao Zongzheng had known for a long time that it was cold in the palace and had put on a few extra layers of clothes before going out.
The ministers' eyes looked colder than the temperature in the palace, and they looked away.
It seems that Lao Zongzheng, who is in charge of this matter, will not wake up until His Majesty finalizes this matter.
Ying Chengyu didn't care what the people below thought, so he stretched out two fingers.
"Noisy!
"Shut up, everyone, I'm going to say the second thing."
Xianyang Palace became quiet. No one wanted to walk around Xianyang Prison and then be drowned in a drowning bucket in a strange way, and left covered in filth.
"The head of Guizhou has treated me like a king and a father, and I should repay him with my own children. I have ascended the throne as the emperor. Such a happy event should be celebrated by the whole world. It should be a general amnesty for the whole country. All prisons in various places except those on death row will be exempted from crime, and concubines should be abolished."
There was no uproar this time.
The courtiers in the hall lowered their heads and looked at the tables in front of them, with the coldness in their eyes turning to ice.
Prime Minister Lu Buwei, whose pseudonym was Jiang Shang, held his head high and shook his head slowly.
Prime Minister Zuo Li Si's face was even more rigid than the "Qin Code", with a frown on his face.
Lao Zongzheng kowtowed frequently and showed signs of waking up.
The doctor's order, Zhang Han, who was accustomed to showing off his armor to others, was wearing a black official uniform that he didn't often wear, and he felt a little uncomfortable sitting there.
The whole world celebrates and offers amnesty to the whole world.
Although this operation has not been carried out by the previous Qin kings, there is no precedent to check. Although the Qin State has been a country ruled by law since Shang Yang's reform, doing so is suspected of undermining the majesty of the official government.
However, compared to what Ying Chengxuan said casually at the end about abolishing concubines, it was nothing at all.
The word "slave" still existed in China until the Republic of China. It was not until the founding of New China that the term "slave" disappeared.
If you can sit in the court, which house doesn't have a lot of ministers and concubines?
If the previous concubines were just a violation of Yingcheng's personal ethics, then the abolition of concubines was an outrage and violated the core interests of all nobles.
Without their concubines, who would plow their land? Who would ride the carriages? Who would do the work of serving people? Who would they kill when they feel bad and want to kill someone?
There was an eerie silence in the hall.
Ying Chengyu's attitude was the same as before, as if he didn't see it.
Instead of wearing a crown gown, he only wore a snow-white fox fur coat on such an important occasion. From the moment he sat down, he seemed to have forgotten many things.
Such as etiquette, such as the heart of submission.
"Don't be impatient, gentlemen. You can speak after I finish telling you the last thing."
Ying Chengyu laughed, his smile as strange as the dead silence in the hall.
"Someone, bring up my peerless horse!"
As he shouted, the palace door opened wide, and the howling north wind rushed in.
Before he could walk all the way through the wide hall, he was once again blocked from the hall door, and he howled unwillingly in front of the door, whining like a ghost.
Xianyang women usually use this method to scare their young sons. If they cry again, they will be caught by the evil wind. The young sons will stop crying when they hear the wind.
The two soldiers led the peerless horse to the front of the court.
Ying Chengyu was overjoyed, leaning forward and resting his arms on his knees.
"This thousand-mile horse! I and you all look at it together!"
Today, many ministers had suffered many shocks in their hearts. The ministers, who thought their hearts would be calm and would no longer be confused, looked up and were all stunned.
No matter how much mental construction they did, their hearts were broken when their eyes fell on the thousand-mile horse.
The thousand-mile horse has small horns on its head, long and slender limbs, and a short and small tail. It is covered with short hair and cannot stand up to the arms of a soldier.
His eyes were sunken and his whole body was brown. He turned his small head and looked around, looking at the sitting people curiously.
This is not a peerless horse, it is clearly an ordinary deer! It is the most common deer in Luming Garden!
Seeing the stunned and overwhelmed expressions of the officials in the hall, Ying Chengyu smiled even more happily.
Referring to a deer as a horse, a famous historical scene that he has been looking forward to for a long time.
"Looking at the expressions of the gentlemen, I seem to be dissatisfied with my thousand-mile horse. This is the holy horse I found from the Xiongnu Holy Mountain, Langjuxu Mountain. Isn't it so handsome?"
The expressions on the faces of Qin's ministers were very rich, but no one spoke, and the silence in the hall remained the same.
Ying Chengyu raised his big hand, laughed and said:
"Gentlemen, it's time for you to speak!"
Dr. Zhou Qingchen stood up while holding on to the desk. Suddenly he staggered and was punched hard in the back.
He didn't look back to see who was responsible. The moment he stood up, he had already made his choice.
"The majesty of this horse is the only one I have ever seen in my life! Compared with it, the black horse riding on the snow is like a firefly competing for the brightness of the bright moon!"
Ying Chengqiao laughed loudly.
"If you listen to your words, I like honest people. I will reward you with fifty gold coins!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhou Qingchen bent over so much that he hit his head on the table, and his voice was neither loud nor quiet. If he hadn't remembered that Qin II didn't like to kneel down, he would have fallen to the ground at this moment.
"Treacherous ministers are in power! Qin will perish!"
Prime Minister Zuo Li Si stood up immediately. Although he was not a court official, he still seemed to have the strictness of the Legalists to do everything in accordance with the law!
"This is clearly a deer, how dare you say it's a horse! Yan Yan's court was polluted by a flattering minister like you, who deceived the king and ignored his superiors. I'll beat you to death!"
Li Si rushed over, grabbed Zhou Qingchen and used fists and kicks.
Li Si, who was a disciple of Xunzi, was proficient in the six arts, and his boxing and kicking skills were very good. Zhou Qingchen, who also practiced martial arts, could only parry but not fight back.
Zhou Qingchen, who was the first to stand up and say that Xiaolu was a divine horse, shouted while blocking and parrying.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This is so rude in the court, you can put His Majesty in your eyes!"
Not only did these repeated calls not cause Ying Chengyu to stop, but they instead attracted more fists and kicks.
"The thief deserves to be beaten!"
"Kill him, kill him!"
"Reading the sage's book in vain! I'm here to help the left prime minister!"
"..."
Qin Chen rushed forward one after another, and Zhou Qingchen was submerged in the sea of people in an instant. His arms could no longer resist the punches and kicks from all directions, and his shouts stopped.
"presumptuous!"
Ying Chengyu was furious and slapped the throne fiercely.
"Everyone stop it!"
No one among the forty or fifty people stopped.
Their punches and kicks were extremely heavy, and everyone had red eyes and gritted their teeth before striking hard.
They were going to beat Zhou Qingchen to death in front of Qin II!
This behavior told Qin II how firm their opposition was!
You are the emperor, we can't beat you, but we can kill your lackeys!
Forty or fifty of them were all high-ranking ministers, and they didn't believe that the man sitting there could send them all to Xianyang Prison and drown them just for beating a doctor to death.
At this time, whoever stops him is their enemy and they will kill him.
The Qin State favored martial arts, and most of its civil servants had good martial arts skills.
When forty or fifty people hit one person together, even the most famous masters in the world could not stop him. Almost all of these forty or fifty people were considered masters in martial arts, even Zhou Qingchen who was beaten was the same.
Martial arts masters are mostly rich people.
Suddenly, Lieutenant Lian Po, who was sitting at the front of the court, moved.
This veteran, whom Wu'an Jun Bai Qi was afraid of not fighting, rushed out like a tiger descending from the mountain!
With a body that could eat ten kilograms of meat in one meal, he forcefully opened a path, and everyone on the path was slapped aside by him one slap after another.
The doctor's order, Zhang Han, also moved.
A peerless master without armor is still a peerless master. He couldn't compete with Ying Chengyu with his bare hands. He broke into the encirclement and threw out the important ministers with skill and skill. He was much gentler than Lian Po.
Meng Yi also moved.
The second son of the Meng family, who had become an internal historian early on, had a determined look on his face and rushed towards the chaotic crowd with very regular military steps.
Listening to the king's orders is the way of life and survival established by the founder of the Meng family, Meng Ao, for future generations. It cannot be changed.
More and more people are joining the fighting circle, but not all of them are trying to stop them, some are going up to beat the treacherous Zhou Qingchen to death.
Fights and fights in the Qin court were common. For the old Qin people who were good at martial arts, if they could not speak with their mouths, they would use their hands that could slap their mouths. This was very Qin.
But there has never been a fight so vicious that it affected the entire court, and almost all the courtiers joined the fight.
They divided into two groups and started fighting until the armored officers rushed in.
Zhou Qingchen was beaten until he was barely alive. If it weren't for the protection of Lian Po, who was like a ferocious beast from ancient times, he would have been beaten to a pulp long ago.
He is unlucky.
But compared with the seven courtiers who lost their lives and the doctors from the Imperial Medical Office shook their heads on the spot and said they had no vital signs and were dead, he was lucky.
Zhou Qingchen's luck doesn't stop there.
The furious Qin Er looked at Li Si, who had caused the fight, with murderous eyes, and said coldly:
"Li Si, you were once a court official, so you should know the "Qin Code" by heart. I would like to ask you what punishment should be imposed if you fight in the court."
Prime Minister Zuo Li Si had a bruise at the corner of his eye and his face was also swollen.
He dusted the footprints on his official uniform and laughed proudly.
Because his face was swollen, his vague words were like thunder, resounding loudly in Xianyang Palace.
"Before Si took action, he didn't think about his life! A man, if you die, you will die, how can you do anything to an unvirtuous king! Foolish king! Just kill Si, and Si will go with the late king! So what if he drowns in the toilet? Those filth are all
It will become Sri Lanka’s glory in youth history!”
Li Si stood proudly in the field, like a giant.
"color!"
The Qin officials who beat Zhou Qingchen clapped and cheered, saying that this was the style of a scholar. At first glance, there were more than sixty of them.
But there were only four Qin officials who stood up and spoke impassionedly about advancing and retreating with Zuo Xiang.
They smiled as boldly as Li Si and asked the emperor to throw them into the same prison as Zuo Xiang. If they drowned in the same bucket, they would share the glory of Zuo Xiang and leave their names in history.
"Okay, okay."
Ying Chengyu smiled coldly and applauded.
"You want to die, but I won't let you die. I'm going to be lenient to you.
"I will exile you to the desert and ask you who don't know the sacred horse to go to Langjuxu Mountain to take a good look at the holy horse!
"It has been two thousand years since King Yu established Yu, and there have been countless loyal ministers. The only one that has been passed down is Bigan who dug out his heart and died.
"I want to see if you loyal ministers who were not sentenced to death but only sentenced to imprisonment can be recorded by the historians of the past!
"Drag him down and take him away!"
The five people were full of anger. Under the escort of the officials, the five people shouted loudly, "You are a fool, you are a fool, the foundation of the Qin State will be completely destroyed in the hands of you, a fool like you, kill me, kill me."
It is possible that few of them who survived may have left their names in history, because countless loyal ministers who died could not leave a single surname.
The remaining ministers did not feel that Qin II was generous, but only thought that Qin II was sinister.
The difference between being exiled to the desert and the death penalty is whether it can go down in history.
The desert is not Qin's land at all. It used to be a dead place. Those backward and ignorant Hu people have always been rude to the Qin people.
"There was a fight in front of Li Si's palace, and he was sentenced to Hanhai, expelled from the title, and removed from the position of Prime Minister Zuo.
"The new Prime Minister Zuo will be appointed by Zhou Qingchen, who has a keen eye for horses."
The unconscious Zhou Qingchen remained motionless.
Anyone with any consciousness would struggle to express gratitude at this moment, and shed tears of gratitude to these loyal ministers who almost beat him to death.
With one beating, he was promoted from doctor to prime minister.
Ying Chengyu yawned and pointed at the frightened fawn that was struggling in the hands of the soldiers and had just been caught from Luming Garden.
"Look carefully, gentlemen, is this a horse or a deer?"
………………
Referring to a deer as a horse...
The room was full of the smell of medicine. Xunzi was lying on the bed, quietly listening to his student Fuqiubo telling what happened in the court today.
"...More than twenty treacherous ministers in the field said that it was a horse, but most people remained silent, including my disciple. In the end, His Majesty had no choice but to admit that he had made a mistake and mistook a deer for a horse.
After many requests, His Majesty finally agreed that the prince should enter the capital and pay homage to the late king in the imperial mausoleum.
"The adoption of concubines, amnesty for the world, and the abolition of concubines will be implemented after the Prime Minister drafts the regulations. Your Majesty's retreat is already a great progress. It is not good for the ministers to continue to force each other..."
Cough cough cough~
Halfway through listening, Xunzi suddenly coughed violently.
Fu Qiubo quickly stopped talking, helped the teacher up, and picked up the steaming medicinal soup on the table.
"Teacher, please take the medicine first, and then I will teach you the lesson after eating."
Xunzi took the medicine bowl, picked up a spoon, took a spoonful, blew twice and put it into his mouth.
Ignoring the ubiquitous bitter taste in his mouth, he said:
"I'll do it myself and listen while I eat. You continue talking."
Fuqiupe looked worried.
"The doctor said that the teacher should not be bothered by this illness and should rest. Teacher, for the sake of us disciples, just listen to this advice and don't worry about it."
Xunzi endured the cough in his throat and forced a smile.
"Children, if I don't listen, how long can I live?
"Forget it, go and invite your Majesty to see me, an old man who is dying."
