Chapter five hundred and forty-one soldiers approaching the city
In Chengtian Hall, the dragon chair on the steps was empty. Li Si moved another Taishi chair and placed it in front of the dragon chair, looking down at the civil and military officials below.
After some cleaning and replenishment by Li Si, the civil and military officials who are qualified to stand in the palace are all the confidants Li Si has trained over the years, and the number of new leaders who have been recruited by various forces is no less than before.
An official who was promoted by Li Sixin to the right prisoner of Tingwei was the first to stand up and salute Li Si: "Report to the Prime Minister, all the people who oppose you in Chang'an City have been put on death row. As long as you give the order."
, he can be executed on the spot at any time.”
"Those who are unwilling to cooperate with you will be temporarily detained in Tingwei Prison, waiting for your disposal."
Li Si nodded slightly and said: "Those who oppose the truth will be put to death at your discretion and executed in batches. Before they die, they must be squeezed clean. Ninety percent of what they get will be returned to the public, and ten percent will be your reward."
"As for those who are uncooperative, lock them up first and try to see if they can be persuaded. If not, we will deal with them at that time."
The newly appointed right eunuch, Tingwei, looked happy and responded loudly: "I obey your orders."
There were quite a few people arrested this time, and the right eunuch, Tingwei, did not expect that Li Si would promise 10% of the proceeds from the confiscation of the house as a reward.
10% may not seem like much, but when accumulated, converted into gold and copper, it is an amount that is difficult for him to reach in his lifetime.
How could such a Li Si not be worth his life to follow?
Others in the palace were shocked by the title of the right eunuch of the imperial court. The title of minister is generally only used for kings and subordinates, and cannot be used by normal superiors and subordinates.
The group of dignitaries in the palace couldn't help but have a thought in their minds: You clearly want to follow the example of Yi Yin, King Wen of Tang Dynasty.
Regardless of what everyone in the Chengtian Hall was thinking, Li Si happily arranged the next plan, such as arranging for people to choose a good and auspicious day, making dragon robes, etc.
The desire to be emperor is clearly revealed.
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall, and everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look.
I saw a commander in armor, past the many guards, came to the palace, bowed down to Li Si, and shouted: "Inform the Prime Minister, there is a large army coming from outside the city, with more than 200,000 people.
King Qin's flag is calling for formation outside."
Two hundred thousand troops came to the city?
Li Si heard this and thought: The army that came here so quickly should be the army that Lin Ze arranged to stay at Hangu Pass. In this case, the false imperial edict failed, no wonder no news came.
However, Han Xin was a bit brave and dared to lead a large army to attack Chang'an.
Li Si glanced at the civil and military officials in the hall and saw that no one showed any strange expressions. He coughed lightly and said: "I was worried that I couldn't find anyone to scare the monkeys. Unexpectedly, some people who did not know life or death bumped into me. The military officers in the hall followed.
Go up to the city wall and see what it is like."
"As for the others, please disperse. The truth is that I hope you can completely control the situation in Chang'an City as soon as possible. If necessary, spending some money to kill a few people doesn't matter. You have the truth standing behind you.
, no need to worry.”
Everyone in the hall said in unison: "No."
Watching Li Si leave, a thought occurred to all the dignitaries: I'm afraid things are really going to change today.
Li Si led a group of generals out of Xianyang Palace and headed towards the city wall. Halfway through, he suddenly felt something. He looked up and saw that his vision was filled with countless pieces of paper, floating in the air, and finally slowly falling into the city.
throughout.
Li Si's face changed slightly. He stretched out his hand and sucked the one closest to him. When he opened it, he saw it was clearly written on it: Li Si leads the disobedient rebels. Your Majesty has an order. Anyone who kills Li Si will be granted the title of Marquis of Che, and will be hereditary. Li Si Ruo
Death, if the accomplice turns back in time, he can be exempted from guilt.
After Li Si read it, he shattered the paper in his hand and gave a decisive order: "Order all the black guards to dispatch to collect this kind of paper scattered in the city. Anyone who keeps it secretly and refuses to hand it over will be punished for treason and collaborating with the enemy."
."
"There is also a notice posted. There are thieves who are causing chaos and attacking Chang'an. We ask the people in the city not to believe the rumors. Anyone who spreads rumors will be punished for treason and collaborating with the enemy."
A guard in black beside Li Si quickly raised his hands and said, "I obey, let's go and do it now." After saying that, he hurriedly left.
A group of generals following Li Si stretched out their hands, then suddenly retracted them. Without squinting, they scanned the contents of the paper with their peripheral vision.
When I saw the sentence "If Li Si dies, the accomplices will be spared if they turn back in time", I couldn't help but feel a move in my heart, and then quickly wiped out my little thoughts.
It's just that once the seeds are planted, they will naturally sprout and grow as long as the time is right.
Even though the expressions of the generals changed very slightly, Li Si, who had a keen sense, still caught the change. He turned around and glanced at the generals coldly, but said nothing.
After all, it was just a thought. At this critical moment, he, Li Si, could not massacre his men.
Looking at the pieces of paper all over the sky, Li Si couldn't help but feel agitated. A majestic momentum shot out, shattering all the pieces of paper in sight into pieces, and the air was filled with gray.
The faces of the generals froze, knowing that this was a warning from Li Si, and they became more and more cautious in their actions.
After a small episode, Li Si and his generals finally came to the city wall. Looking from a distance, they saw 250,000 troops lined up in an array, with a murderous aura rising straight into the sky.
Standing at the forefront of the 250,000-strong army was a lone knight, none other than Lin Ze.
Seeing Li Si appear on the city wall, Lin Ze, who was standing at the forefront of the army, immediately shouted loudly: "Traitor Li Si, you were just a small official back then. Fortunately, you were valued by the late emperor. His grace was so great that you were promoted to the prime minister. I didn't expect that not only would you not be able to
If you want to repay the emperor's kindness, but instead commit rebellion, are you worthy of your conscience and the people of the world?"
"If you still have any conscience at all, for the sake of your Li family ancestors and future generations, you should commit suicide in front of the late emperor's tomb, so as not to harm them."
Li Si did not pay attention to Lin Ze's words, but swept his spiritual thoughts towards Lin Ze. After noticing the spiritual thoughts emanating from Lin Ze, he looked calm and said slowly: "Lin Ze, you have broken through to the master realm.
, why bother to speak rudely like a sharp-tongued child?"
The words he said casually caused an uproar in Li Si's heart. At the age of twenty-two, there was such a martial arts prodigy in the world. The Confucian sage who broke through to the master realm must have been thirty years old.
Standing at thirty is exactly how the Confucian sages portray themselves.
No wonder Lin Ze was able to kill Chen She. It turned out that he had broken through to the master level.
Seeing that his words did not touch Li Si at all, Lin Ze did not feel discouraged and continued to shout loudly: "Lin Ze, the Young Master of the Great Qin Empire, with the help of 250,000 loyal ministers and righteous men, please invite the traitor Li Si to go out of the city to die."
