Xiaodouzi paused, then awarded Fan Zeng, Shen Suanzi, Meng Yi, Wang Ben and many generals who had deceived the enemy, and then ended the long and eloquent parable.
"Take Li Si and Li Changqing to the sky prison to await execution." Ying Zheng waved his hand and directly imprisoned Li Si and Li Changqing's cultivation.
"Your Majesty has a decree to take Li Si and Li Changqing to the prison to await execution." Xiaodouzi immediately shouted loudly.
Soon the Black Dragon Guards who were guarding outside entered the hall and quickly took Li Si and Li Changqing away. All the civil and military officials left behind were frightened.
Li Xu's face did not show the joy of promotion, but confusion and fear.
Since your majesty wanted to execute grandpa, why did he let himself hold the military power? He really couldn't understand your majesty's thoughts. God's power is unpredictable. Only today did Li Xu truly understand why his grandpa had so much power. He was still worried all day long, muttering this every night.
sentence.
Ying Zheng glanced at Li Xu, who was full of thoughts and at a loss, and knew what he was thinking. However, Ying Zheng would not explain anything deliberately. He did not have any special intention, it was just a disguised compensation for Li Si!
Everyone in the world thinks that emperors are ruthless, but emperors are also people with flesh and blood, thoughts and emotions. However, emperors have too much helplessness and sorrow. They must make the right choice at the right time in the ever-changing rise and fall of the country, even if
Even the true love in my heart must be ruthlessly given up.
Why is it said that we can conquer the world together, but not enjoy it together? The love of comrades who have fought for almost a lifetime is even more unforgettable than flesh and blood relatives, so why do almost every emperor do this?
Maybe some are cold-blooded and ruthless people, but are all of them like that? Of course not. Compared with the peace of the world and the prosperity of the country, personal emotions are undoubtedly much lighter.
Now Ying Zheng had to make a choice in order to stabilize the people's hearts and shock the world.
Although Ying Zheng really didn't want to kill Li Si and Li Changqing, he had to do it and use cruel and vicious methods, so as to shock people and reunite the scattered people who had complaints about the court.
Why should it be Li Si and Li Changqing instead of someone else? Ying Zheng also realized after careful consideration that they were irreplaceable candidates.
Even if he kills all the prince Fusu and the commanders of the four armies, he cannot replace Li Si and Li Changqing.
Although Fusu was the crown prince and his benevolence, justice and virtue were far-reaching, in terms of influence, he was still far behind Li Si.
As for the four army commanders, they have been in control of the army for a long time, and their influence is not even comparable to that of the nine ministers who preside over government affairs at court.
If you ask an ordinary person who the commander of the First Army is, he may only know that he is the general, but if you ask who the prime minister of the Qin Empire is, almost everyone will know that it is Prime Minister Li Si.
Li Si served as assistant to the government for more than 200 years. His influence in the Qin Empire can be said to be second only to Ying Zheng, the first emperor.
During the anti-corruption crackdowns, Li Changqing forcibly earned the title of King of Hell. With his selfless and selfless nickname of King of Hell, it spread to almost every corner of the Qin Empire.
Even hearing that the Living King of Hell is coming can scare a three-year-old child into crying. This is evident, but it is precisely because of this that Li Changqing has suffered a lot of notoriety and resentment among the people.
That's why Ying Zheng removed him from his official position as imperial censor, and asked him to retreat behind the scenes and control the Intelligence Department of the Black Nightmare Army. This could not only protect Li Changqing from being pushed to the forefront by rumors, but also eliminate all his wealth.
For its use, people should make full use of their talents.
Ying Zheng did not expect that this day would come. You must know that he is actually the butcher, and Li Changqing is just the butcher's knife in the hands of the butcher.
But everyone in the world is ignorant, and there are always only a handful of smart people. You must make a choice, and you have to choose.
"Let's break up...!" Ying Zheng felt a little sad and depressed, but he looked calm and left slowly.
"Your Majesty has a decree to withdraw from the imperial court..." Xiaodouzi did not dare to be careless in the slightest, and immediately shouted excitedly.
"Your Majesty..." All civil and military officials prostrated on the ground, bowed their heads and worshiped in unison.
Ying Zheng returned to the Chaotian Palace after a long absence, but he still could not enter samadhi. He sighed, and Ying Zheng's figure quietly disappeared.
In a huge cage made of jade and tin, Li Si and Li Changqing were imprisoned in small adjacent cells.
This kind of jade tin is the hardest among all the precious metals discovered so far in the Great Qin Empire, but it is rare in quantity. In the entire Great Qin Empire, only the prison in the Sky City is completely made of jade tin.
It is impossible to escape easily in the Soul Realm, let alone being closely guarded by heavily guarded prison guards.
A group of patrolling prison guards passed by. They walked in neat steps and moved in unison, with long swords at their waists.
One of the prison guards glanced at the cells of Li Si and Li Changqing and exclaimed: "Oh, I can't believe it! Prime Minister Li Si, who has unlimited power and power, and the leader of the Intelligence Department of the Black Nightmare Army, were both in the sky prison in the blink of an eye.
Woolen cloth?"
The tenth captain standing at the front shushed, and then he whispered: "Don't say that the leader doesn't take care of the brothers. I heard that His Majesty returned to the palace and became furious. God was so angry that he not only deposed the crown prince, but also even
Prime Minister Li and other senior officials were not only dismissed from office and demoted, but they were also publicly executed a month later!"
"Oh my God! Boss, are you not mistaken? His Majesty's disappearance has been spread among the people for more than a hundred years?" Another prison guard said in disbelief.
"Brother is kind enough to inform you. If you don't believe me, who dares to talk nonsense about losing his head? If His Majesty hadn't come back, who else would have the ability to send the Prime Minister and Chief Li to death row?" The leading ten-captain heard his younger brother questioning him,
He immediately became unhappy.
"What you said makes sense. There have been rumors among the people before that the Great Qin Empire has changed, and the Ying family has been replaced by Li Chuan. The puppet prince is sitting in the heavenly palace, and the sun and the moon are shining brightly..." The fourth prison guard answered.
.
The leader of the ten captains almost had his heart beat out of his chest, and said with horror on his face: "Shut up, I want to die. Don't let your brothers be hurt."
"Head..." The fourth prison guard originally only thought of this ballad and did not think deeply about it. He was shocked by the reaction of such a big head.
"What kind of place is this? Have you lost your brain? Are you still sick? You are talking nonsense, and you should not drag your brothers with you even if you want to die!" The leader of the ten captains has not yet calmed down, and he shouted angrily.
Then he continued to shout: "You don't need to say anything anymore. From now on, I will be very energetic for my brother to patrol. If anyone dares to be lazy like before and cause trouble, I will be the first to kill him."
skin."
Just as he finished speaking, a disembodied voice sounded: "Time stands still..." (To be continued...)
