Chapter five hundred and forty-eight beacon smoke rises again
After the reward, came the punishment. Huang Banban took out another imperial edict and said: "The guilty minister Li Si, who received the emperor's favor, did not want to repay the favor. Instead, he deceived the emperor, formed a clique for personal gain, and even openly rebelled. The crime cannot be pardoned. Let's choose another day."
Abandon and behead the entire Li Si family in the city to serve as a warning to others."
Hearing this, Lin Ze couldn't help but cough lightly, and took a step forward: "Your Majesty, can you let the whole Li Si family go temporarily to lure Li Si into a trap? After all, the threat posed by a grandmaster suspended outside is too great.
Big."
Hu Hai smiled and said gently: "What the Lieutenant said is reasonable, but there is no need for it. Today the Lieutenant wounded Li Si, forcing him to flee in a hurry. Unexpectedly, the Skynet was restored, and the seriously injured Li Si met the Prime Minister Zhao
Gao, eventually fell into the hands of Prime Minister Zhao Gao."
"So the Lieutenant doesn't have to worry about Li Si coming back, nor does he need to use the whole Li Si family as bait."
"So it turns out that it's Meng Lang who is a minor minister," Lin Ze apologized and returned to his original position.
Then Lin Ze looked at Zhao Gao calmly, his heart became more vigilant, and he sneered: There are really such coincidences in the world. Li Si was injured by himself in the morning, and happened to meet Zhao Gao at noon. It was even so unclear.
Didn't he die in vain at the hands of Zhao Gao?
If Lin Ze's sensing was correct, Zhao Gao's breath was stable and there was no sign of injury.
Normally, anyone on the verge of death would find a way to fight back desperately.
Facing the explosion of a master like Li Si before his death, Zhao Gao was able to escape unscathed. There were only two possibilities.
First, Li Si did not expect that he would die in the hands of Zhao Gao, so he did not fight back.
Second, Zhao Gao's cultivation level is far higher than Li Si.
Overall, Zhao Gao is not normal.
The former means that Zhao Gao had an unusual relationship with Li Si, so Li Si did not guard against him. If this was the case, there might be something behind Zhao Gao's efforts to protect Hu Hai when Li Si rebelled.
The latter shows that Zhao Gao is extraordinary. If he could really deal with Li Si, how could he escape in a hurry in the past?
Lin Ze suppressed these doubts in his heart and muttered silently: "I hope you won't become a monster."
Zhao Gao seemed to sense what Lin Ze was thinking and smiled at him.
Lin Ze also smiled back, and there was nothing unusual on the surface.
After receiving the reward and punishment, Hu Hai began to fulfill his duties as the emperor and make decisions on major affairs of the empire.
Lin Ze, on the other hand, spent the rest of the court meeting as if it had nothing to do with him.
…
Hu Hai's return was like a shot in the arm to the turbulent city of Chang'an, and his work efficiency in appeasing the people was significantly improved.
In just three days, Chang'an City completely returned to normal operations and regained its vitality.
The Ying family has ruled the Qin Kingdom for thousands of years, and the Qin Emperor has unified the world for hundreds of years. The people's attachment to it is not just an adjective, but a real phenomenon.
Lin Ze has been living a very leisurely life these days, practicing martial arts every day, or enjoying some delicious food.
As for the errands of the Taiwei Mansion, Lin Ze was very decisive. He first transferred Chen Ping to the Taiwei Mansion to assist him in handling daily affairs, and then selected several disciples from Meng Xibai's family who were familiar with the art of war to fill them.
On the other hand, the Mengxi and Bai families were in mixed moods. They originally planned to move their entire family to their ancestral homeland, but they had only walked one-third of the way when a messenger from Chang'an caught up with them and told them that Li Si had been pacified, and His Majesty issued an order.
The three families moved back to Chang'an to serve the empire.
Before the heads of the three families could decide whether to leave or return, half of the children of the three families had already "fallen". In order to save their lives, they had no choice but to flee as far away as possible.
Now that His Majesty has returned to the throne and promised to reuse the three families, the children of the three families are unwilling to leave.
In the bitter cold land of the northwest, how can Chang'an City be as comfortable as it is?
They understand both right and wrong, and are willing to cooperate with the elders of the clan, but on this matter, they have to fight to the end.
Then Meng Xi and Bai Sanjia returned to Chang'an as if they had gone on an outing for a few days.
Because the Champion Marquis' Mansion was still under construction, Lin Ze still lived in the Lin Mansion during this period.
In the morning, Lin Ze took a Manzhu Shahua, refined all its medicinal power, and slowly flowed into his mind. The originally incomplete spiritual thoughts in his mind were gradually improved under the repair of this medicinal power, and finally slowly merged with other divine thoughts.
blend.
In the past few days, Lin Ze has spared no effort in cultivation. Compared with the previous few days, the spiritual thoughts in Lin Ze's mind have been much less, and by the same token, they have also been much greater.
At this time, a guard stood outside Lin Ze's door and called softly: "Master Hou, there is good news coming from the front line. Please take a look at it."
Lin Ze finished his work and stood up, saying in a deep voice: "Nian."
The guard followed the words and said: "We have good news from the front. General Zhang Han led an army of 100,000 troops and defeated 200,000 Chu troops on the banks of the Dajiang River. He also killed General Xiang Liang of Chu in the midst of the rebellious army."
"General Zhang Han wrote a letter saying that now that Chu has lost its elite troops, it is a good time to destroy them in one fell swoop, so he plans to lead his troops south to capture the King of Chu and present them to His Majesty."
Xiang Liang is dead? Not only did Lin Ze not feel happy when he heard the news, but his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately said: "Quickly send an order to Zhang Han, telling him not to go south, but to return to Chen County, and wait until I am gone."
As soon as Lin Ze finished speaking, he suddenly felt something. He walked out of the room and saw a fierce aura rising into the sky from the southeast. He couldn't help but sigh: "There is no need to give orders. If Zhang Han is lucky, he should be able to save his life."
."
The guard who reported the message was a little confused at the moment. Should he pass it on or not?
At the same time, another guard hurriedly walked in and shouted: "Master Hou is very happy. General Li Xin led the army to directly attack Handan, kill the puppet king and the military officials, and completely put down the rebellion in the north."
Suddenly someone was promoted to Grandmaster, so Lin Ze no longer had the intention to relax, so he got up and went to Xianyang Palace.
When Lin Ze saw Hu Hai, he was chatting with Zhao Gao, and the two were enjoying themselves.
Seeing Lin Ze coming over, Hu Hai calmed down a little and asked with a smile: "How come the Champion is free to come to see me today? Is there anything important?"
Lin Ze said with a trace of sadness on his face: "Your Majesty, I have just detected that someone has broken through the Grandmaster in the Chu region in the southeast. It is most likely that they are remnants of the Chu Kingdom. I am worried that there may be twists and turns in suppressing the rebellion."
"Is this true?" Hu Hai immediately asked nervously.
Lin Ze pointed at Zhao Gao and said: "The Prime Minister can also feel the changes in the celestial phenomena. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the Prime Minister."
Hu Hai looked at Zhao Gao with a suspicious look on his face. Zhao Gao deliberately concentrated on feeling it before he said: "What the champion said is true. I was not aware of it for a while and failed to inform your majesty in time. Please forgive me."
Hu Hai waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care, but asked Lin Ze: "If the newly promoted grandmaster is really a remnant of the Six Nations, how should the champion respond?"
Lin Ze said with a serious face: "If you can win over him, win him over. If you can't, then destroy him as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if he is allowed to grow, it may be a disaster for the empire."
When Hu Hai heard this, he said decisively: "Then please ask the champion to lead the troops to go out immediately to nip the danger in the bud."
Lin Ze bowed and responded: "No."
Seeing Lin Ze's willingness to agree, Hu Hai had all kinds of thoughts in his mind. He coughed lightly and said, "I wonder how many troops the champion will bring with him?"
"Da Qin's current strength is not as good as before. I'm afraid it can't give the champion too much support. I hope the champion will understand everything."
Lin Ze thought for a while and said: "It doesn't need to be too much. Just select tens of thousands from the 200,000 troops stationed at Hangu Pass and the army that was bewitched by Li Si."
