Inside the palace, except for the sound of bamboo slips turning, it was extremely quiet.
Ying Fusu knelt straight, even though his knees were in unbearable pain, he still didn't say a word.
Like a painless sculpture, it is placed quietly in Zhangtai Palace.
Time passes for a cup of tea.
Time passed for two cups of tea.
A stick of incense passes.
Two sticks of incense passed.
If you don't leave, you are forcing me to go to the palace.
You don’t want to leave, but I want you to leave!
After Ying Zheng ascended the throne of Qin, he worked as a marionette for three years. The most disgusting thing for this emperor through the ages was being forced.
On the premise of developing the country of Qin, he can tolerate offenses, admit mistakes, and tolerate many things, but there is absolutely no option of being forced.
Qin and the world are his kingdom. As long as he is still sitting in this position, he can decide everything in the world.
No one can force him.
Not even Ying Fusu, the eldest son of the Qin State, whom he had high hopes for and who secretly cared about him, could not do it.
If the person kneeling here today was not Ying Fusu but Chun Yuyue, blood would have been seen outside Zhangtai Palace.
Ying Zhengxin unfolded a blank bamboo slip, held a brush in his hand, and wrote on the bamboo slip like dragons and snakes, and quickly finished writing the new edict.
Putting down his pen, the First Emperor's voice sounded cold in the hall, which had been empty for a long time.
"How long are you going to kneel?"
"Kneel until Father agrees to grant amnesty to the world." Ying Fusu responded calmly and very quickly, as if he had been waiting for the First Emperor to speak.
"In the past, I imprisoned the Queen Mother in Yongdi." The First Emperor did not look at his eldest son, but seemed to be talking to himself.
"A minister came to dissuade me and told me that the Queen Mother, no matter how wrong she was, was still my biological mother, and filial piety comes first. For this reason alone, I could not imprison the Queen Mother, even if she had committed a serious crime of rebellion. I was at the court meeting
I told the ministers that no one can rebel, not even the Queen Mother. Therefore, the Queen Mother can only be imprisoned in Yongdi. If anyone dares to dissuade him, I will chop his body into several pieces and throw them in the palace.
outside."
"History of Qin: The Chronicles of the First Emperor": The Queen Mother rebelled, and the Emperor imprisoned her in Yongdi. The ministers persuaded the Emperor to release her on the grounds of filial piety. The Emperor was angry: "Rebels cannot be forgiven! So does the Queen Mother! Anyone who dares to remonstrate with the Queen Mother again?
If you want to kill them, kill them, cut off their four branches, and accumulate them under the bridge."
"They deceived me when I was young. I had my words first. If I dared to advise the person to die, they would still come to advise me. If one person advises me, I will kill one. If two people advise me, I will kill both of them. Later, they got together.
Sixteen people jointly advised me. Cheng Xi told me that the ministers thought that the law did not punish the people, but I thought it was the opposite. Cheng Xi analyzed the incident and always saw blood."
"Among the sixteen people, there are those from Tingwei's Mansion, those from Neishi's Mansion, those who govern Su Neishi's Mansion, and those from the Prime Minister's Mansion. They are all important ministers. If you kill them, the operation of the Qin State's court will inevitably be affected.
With little influence, everyone is convinced that I will give in this time, and the ministers are forcing me to act according to their wishes. From the perspective of national affairs and righteousness, I should release the Queen Mother. If the King of Qin were you, you would probably do this, right?"
"Fusu will not imprison the Queen Mother."
"Yes, I forgot that you are a pure and filial person."
Ying Zheng turned his head, stood up, took the bamboo slips with still wet ink on them, and walked to Ying Fusu.
"Sixteen important ministers persecuted me, so I killed sixteen of them. I want everyone in the world to understand that I am not threatened. Only when I want them to make suggestions can they make suggestions. When I
I have made up my mind to do one thing and tell them that when anyone who opposes anyone else dies, they had better keep their mouths shut. Because I am really capable of killing people. So, Fusu, do you still want to force me?"
Wow~
The scroll of bamboo slips was thrown by Ying Zheng on Ying Fusu.
Ying Fusu picked it up and looked at it intently under the candlelight.
The decree was not to forgive the world, but to ask him to go to Shangjun immediately.
The First Emperor Ying Zheng had lost all patience with his eldest son Ying Fusu.
"Please allow Fusu to commit suicide in order to protect his father's reputation."
"I knew you were going to say this." Ying Zheng said without surprise: "You are not afraid of death."
Ying Zheng lowered his head until his face was less than five centimeters away from Ying Fusu's face, until Ying Fusu could see every microexpression on his face.
The eternal emperor smiled gently, but what he said made Ying Fusu so frightened that he could no longer kneel upright and sat down!
"I heard that when King Bali of Ba died, three thousand boys and girls were buried with him. The king of a small country like Ba always dies with such grand ceremony. I sit on the throne of the world. If my eldest son dies, at least Li will be buried with him.
It’s okay to bury all the mountain prisoners.”
There were 700,000 prisoners in Lishan.
The most brutal battle of Changping in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was a massacre of only 400,000 Zhao soldiers.
The First Emperor stood up and turned around, seemingly not even bothering to look at his eldest son.
"Go to Shangjun."
Ying Fusu was in despair.
Outside Zhangtai Palace.
Li Si and Zhao Gao inquired about Ying Zheng's situation, and he always felt that something was wrong today.
"Order of Zhao Chefu, Your Majesty seems to be in a bad mood today?"
The Che Fu Ling was one of the Qin State's top ministers. He was the person who drove the king when traveling and was in charge of the royal family's chariots and carriages.
After Zhao Gao served as Che Fu Ling, because he was a middle-aged man, the word "中" was added before the three characters "Che Fu Ling" to call him Zhong Che Fu Ling.
But when calling Zhao Gao, most people will omit the word "中" - this is not a glorious thing after all.
Zhao Gao's buttocks were beaten with ten strong sticks. The skin and flesh were broken and blood flowed out.
Ying Zheng asked Zhao Gao to go to the Imperial Medical Office for treatment and told him that he did not have to wait outside today.
Zhao Gao could have gone back to rest and recuperate, but after applying medicine, he returned to the outside of Zhangtai Palace, guarded Zhangtai Palace, and stood side by side with Li Si as the doorkeeper.
"Your Majesty, I dare not speculate on your happiness or anger," Zhao Gao replied.
After listening to this, Li Si knew that he would get no information from Zhao Gao by asking this question, so he said again: "Commander Zhao Che, I wonder if you can inform Si again. Will your Majesty forget that Si is still standing here?"
A trace of anger flashed across Zhao Gao's face.
His buttocks were burning, and the fact that he could still stand here was a sign of his strong martial arts skills and strong will! Anyone else would have been lying on the bed, unable to get up.
"Gao asked himself that he had never provoked Li Tingwei, so why did Li Tingwei want to kill me? If Gao was beaten with ten sticks and died outside Zhangtai Palace, what good would it do to Tingwei?"
I broke into the palace for His Majesty's safety and was beaten with ten sticks. You Li Si didn't see it. Now that the bleeding in my buttocks has just stopped, you let me break into the palace again. What kind of peace of mind do you have!
"Si absolutely did not mean this! This matter is all Si Menglang's fault!" Li Si apologized sincerely.
Although he was refused communication by Zhao Gao, he knew the answer to the previous question.
Judging from Zhao Gao's performance, the First Emperor was definitely in a bad mood.
It seems that today is not a good time to report. Do you want to go back and come back tomorrow?
Li Si lowered his head and thought.
I just learned the whole story from my junior brother today, so I rushed here without stopping to wait for His Majesty to summon him, so that I can show my loyalty.
If I return home and come back tomorrow, could it be that I didn't put His Majesty's safety first on this day? Then what's the point of my coming tomorrow?
This opportunity is once in a lifetime. Your Majesty is in a bad mood today, but there will always be better times.
Then Your Majesty will remember what I did today. Even if I am beaten with ten sticks today, it is still worth it.
Only by breaking into the palace can I show my loyalty!
Li Si decided to break into the palace to meet him for the sake of his prime minister Meng, who was beneath one person and above ten thousand people!
"Stop!"
Before he could even take two steps, the two mighty officers crossed their arms to form an x, blocking the doorkeeper Li Si.
"What does Li Tingwei want?" Zhao Gao looked unhappy.
That would be fine if he wasn't here.
But as he stood here, he was ordered to wait.
If Li Si were allowed to break in like this, he would be derelict in his duty.
"By order of Zhao Chefu, there are urgent matters here, which must be reported to Your Majesty as soon as possible!"
"Your Majesty has an order, no one is allowed to come near." Zhao Gao said gloomily: "Those who violate it will die."
A gust of cold wind blew by, blowing some of Li Si's hair to fly.
Li Si is old-fashioned and serious.
Zhao Gao looked gloomy and cold.
The two refused to give in to each other.
Although Li Si was a man of letters, he was not one of those weak-minded people in later generations.
He studied under the Confucianist Xunzi and was proficient in the six Confucian arts, etiquette, music, archery, imperialism, and calligraphy.
Among the six arts, archery is archery, and charioteering is driving a car, neither of which can be accomplished by a person without the strength to restrain a chicken.
If he really goes to the battlefield, Li Si is also a master who can kill people with a sword. Zhao Gao's words cannot scare him.
"I also hope that Zhao Chefu Ling will get out of the way. Si promised that he will be responsible for the consequences of breaking into the palace and will not implicate Zhao Chefu Ling."
