One king in the world, no, no king in the world, there is no king in the world, only one emperor. And the last Wang Tianjian is sitting in the carriage at the moment, heading towards Xianyang with his ministers, sitting on the carriage,
Wang Jian looked at the disdainful eyes that were looking at him, and his heart felt a little stinging. He did not expect that he would actually fall to this level, and that the majestic king of a country would be despised and humiliated by others.
The people of Qin were not too bad to him. They would give him food and would not insult or beat him. However, when he was pointed at by others on the road, they would not pay attention and let the King of Qi rush there with great fanfare.
Xianyang was originally meant for people from all over the country to take a look and act as a deterrent and an incentive. King Qi was not the last king. Zhao Wangjia was not executed after the surrender. He was moved to Bashu. As expected,
, where he will spend his entire life.
Therefore, Tian Jian is not so scared in his heart. He does not think that Ying Zheng needs to kill him. He and Ying Zheng still have a very good personal relationship. At least, that is what he thinks. The two have met before.
He once chatted happily. What made him unbearable was not the punishment in the future, but the guilt and humiliation in his heart. Qi Wangjian didn't close his eyes for several days. Whenever he closed his eyes, he could always see
Seeing his mother's appearance, she shook her head towards him.
King Jian of Qi's appetite also became bad. In just a few days, he became haggard and lost a lot of weight. Under the torture of the country's subjugation, King Jian of Qi became a little confused. His ministers,
Following him on foot, Ying Zheng originally wanted to have them tied up like cattle and sheep and sent to Xianyang. However, he was a little worried that such behavior would cause unreasonable dissatisfaction among the people of Qi.
Therefore, he did not humiliate the monarchs and ministers of Qi State too much. Qi State was the richest and had no war for a long time. It can be said that it was extremely rich, because Qin State did not experience a bloody battle in conquering Qi State, forcing the King of Qi to surrender without a fight.
Therefore, the complete and wealthy Qi State fell into the hands of Qin State. It is conceivable that in a period of time in the future, Qi State will become Qin State's granary and treasury. Maybe Zhao Kuo's policies
The implementation of it all depends on the wealth of Qi Di.
Ying Zheng did not want Qi to be in turmoil. A small-scale turmoil could destroy this granary. For the sake of this large granary, it was not necessary to stop humiliating Qi's monarchs and ministers.
But even if they were not tied up and had no experience of being beaten or scolded, they might not feel that much better.
When the group was about to leave Qi State, several ministers stopped and did not dare to leave the land of Qi despite being urged by the soldiers. They claimed that they wanted to die in the soil of their parents and then committed suicide... But probably not all of them
Everyone has such courage, and their death has no meaning or emotion to the other ministers. Qi Wangjian looked at the ministers around him and asked with some worry: "The Queen Minister did not follow him, is he
Wasn't he killed?"
"Kill??", a minister laughed, and ignored the unkind looks of the Qin soldiers, he said: "Don't you understand now? Hou Sheng was greedy, hoarded money, took bribes, and arranged his own
Confidant, who among the people walking here didn't come up through bribery? Why didn't Qi's army come to the rescue? Why did they stupidly wait for the Qin army to go straight to the royal capital? Hou Sheng, he is now counting in the royal capital
Here are the great gifts from the people of Qin!"
"How can you say that?" Qi Wangjian was a little angry, and he said: "The queen is my mother's clan brother, he will never betray me!"
The minister looked at him with complicated eyes. He shook his head and said, "You heard it when we walked out of the capital. The children in the capital sang: He who destroys and builds wins. Over the years, how many people have
You wanted to get rid of Hou Sheng, but you ignored him. There were many people who were determined to die and pretended to flatter Hou Sheng. Then they came to the palace to tell you the truth, but you killed them... Some scholars raped them in order to see you.
They broke into the palace, but you killed them for treason."
"Several of your relatives came to persuade you, so you cut off their titles and drove them out of Qi."
"You are talking nonsense! I have never killed anyone!!"
"You didn't kill anyone? You ignored those who risked their lives to enter the palace and asked them to leave the palace. The next day, they were killed by Hou Sheng because of what they had said. Those who came to see you wanted to see you.
The scholars who invaded the palace were thrown into prison by Hou Sheng because you ignored them, and their entire clan was killed. Your relatives, because you didn't trust them, were framed and slandered, and were immediately driven out of Qi by Hou Sheng... Isn't this you?
Killed?"
"Do you know how many Qi people have been fighting Hou Sheng over the years, and how many people have died for such a stupid you?"
King Qi's face was pale, but he shook his head stubbornly, his voice trembling, and he said: "No, no, Hou Sheng is not that kind of person, I am not that kind of king... No.
"
"No noise!" Qin soldiers shouted sternly.
The soldiers' scolding ended the Qi State meeting. Qi Wangjian was trembling all over. He was at a loss, breathing heavily and shaking his head.
At this same time, Hou Sheng was sitting quietly in the courtyard, looking at Meng Tian standing in front of him.
Meng Tian put his hand on the hilt of the sword, raised his head high, and looked at Xiang Sheng with disdain in his eyes. The courtyard was filled with all kinds of rare treasures, all of which were sent by Meng Tian.
Surrounding these treasures, there are more Qin soldiers. These tiger-like and wolf-like Qin soldiers all carry human heads in their hands. These heads are the victorious retainers and warriors. In the powerful Qin State,
In front of the soldiers, these bodyguards carefully selected by Hou Sheng were useless.
Seeing that they dared to resist, the soldiers of the Qin State were very happy. They did not expect to go out to do a mission and have the opportunity to get killed. This is great! However, what made the soldiers of the Qin State feel disappointed was that there were too few victorious warriors.
It was not enough for them to get a few more titles. Hou Sheng was surrounded by headless corpses, but Hou Sheng had no fixed fear or panic. He looked at Meng Tian calmly and said, "I have known for a long time... that the Qin people would break their promises.
of."
"The people of Qin have not broken their promise. These are the money you want, and the title you want. You are now the lord of Qin, but because of your past mistakes, your majesty is ready to execute you as the lord.
How can you say that the people of Qin broke their promise?" Meng Tian grinned. He stared at Hou Sheng's face, as if he wanted to see some fear and panic on his face. Unfortunately, he did not get what he wanted, and Hou Sheng was still particularly special.
of peace.
"Leave me alive. I'm willing to use half of my money in exchange. I have a lot of money. If I die, no one can find me."
Hou Sheng said, but Meng Tian shook his head disdainfully and said: "It's impossible. Your Majesty wants your life. Nothing can keep your life."
"Can't you trade? I can pay a lot of money, which is definitely worth my life. King Qin will only make profits, not losses."
"You want to trade anything? Even your life?"
"What can't be traded? With money, you can have everything...power, beauty, there is nothing money can't buy...including life."
"We old Qin people are not as good at doing business as you Qi people..." Meng Tian sneered and said: "You must die today. Do you know that Qi people hate you so much that they will drag you out?
Beheading, Qi people will only cheer but not feel heartache. Your money can't buy so many Qi people's hearts..." Meng Tian stared at him and asked the soldiers to come forward and arrest him.
Hou Sheng stood up on his own. He stood up, smiled bitterly, and said: "I knew this day would happen a long time ago, but I just couldn't help it. If it happened again... I would still do it.
of."
The soldiers pressed him down and walked out of the courtyard. Meng Tian followed him. He looked at the reaction of the Qi people. The Qi people had long known that the Qin people wanted to kill someone who would win. As expected, the Qi people did not feel any pain or anger. They were very angry.
Happy, Hou Sheng, this person, he killed too many Qi people, those upright and brave people, all were killed by him, including the fall of Qi State, all related to Hou Sheng, Qi people's influence on Hou Sheng
The hatred has exceeded the hatred for the Qin people.
After being escorted into the prison car, Hou Sheng still had no fear. He had enjoyed everything he should enjoy in his life. He was not young anymore and he did not have that much fear of death. Despite this, he still
He looked in Meng Tian's direction with some dissatisfaction and asked many times: "Can't I buy my own life no matter how much money I pay? Then can you give me some time and execute me a few days later?"
"I'm willing to pay 10,000 gold to buy a day."
"Twenty thousand gold is fine..."
"No way?"
"Then let me have one last meal of my favorite food? I can pay..."
Hou Sheng always asks for money, which probably irritates Meng Tian. For people like Meng Tian, money is a kind of humiliation. They will never openly express that they like money. Even if they give each other gifts, they must not give them.
Money can only be converted into treasures of the same price. Hou Sheng's behavior of trying to buy Meng Tian with money is a kind of humiliation in Meng Tian's view, and Meng Tian's face becomes more and more ugly.
Meng Tian didn't say anything, he just urged the soldiers to move forward quickly.
...
King Qi's carriage arrived outside Hangu Pass. From a long way away, you can see this towering pass. It is as rough, majestic and awe-inspiring as the Qin Kingdom itself. King Jian of Qi raised his head and looked at
For some reason, King Qi felt faintly afraid of the big pass in front of him. He was forced to lower his head and did not dare to look at this pass anymore. When they came here, several ministers stopped.
No matter how much the soldiers urged, they refused to move forward.
[Send red envelopes] Reading benefits are here! You have up to 888 cash red envelopes to be drawn! Follow the weixin official account [Book Friends Base Camp] to draw red envelopes!
They looked in the direction of King Qi, bowed seriously, and then said: "We don't want to be humiliated by the people of Qin. The reason why we followed you here is to protect you and protect you all the way. Now you are here
When we arrive at Hangu Pass, please allow us to say goodbye to you..." King Qi was stunned. He looked at the ministers in front of him tremblingly and shouted: "Why do you need to do this!"
"You won't understand. When Qi fell, we were already dead. Now those who follow you are just your ministers."
The ministers of Qi looked at the few Qin soldiers around them and shouted: "My homeland is in the east, please let us die facing the east!"
People's emotions are probably incompatible. Several Qi ministers died, but the other ministers did not have any feelings. Looking at this tragic scene, they just felt a little noisy. The King of Qi was escorted all the way to Xianyang
, but no one came out to greet him again. The local officials arranged for him to stay in a mansion in Xianyang. The King of Qin, no, the Emperor did not come to see him, nor did he summon him.
King Jian of Qi was not worthy to see him. The only person who came to deal with his problem was a minister, Qi of Chu.
The emperor really wanted to kill King Jian of Qi, but Ying Zheng did not want to break his promise. If he was given five hundred miles of land, he would definitely give him five hundred miles of land. He could find a wilderness in the clouds and give him five hundred miles of land.
He was not allowed to go out, nor was he given food or drink, so he was allowed to enjoy the five hundred miles of land. However, in the end, Ying Zheng did not give such an order. After all, the people of Qi did not care about the victory in the future, so they might not not
I care about King Qi.
There are still many talented people in Qi, and the land of Qi is a treasure house.
Qi informed King Qi of his treatment. King Qi was deprived of all his titles and was sent to Beidi County, where he would live for the rest of his life. King Qi was not able to meet Ying Zheng until the end of his career. He was like
Like an unknown soldier, he came in a hurry and was quickly sent away. Some of the ministers who followed him were executed and some were released... Anyway, they will never be able to return to Qi again in this life.
Hou Sheng was sitting on his knees in the execution ground. Many Qi people gathered around him. The Qi people looked at this scene happily and couldn't help cheering. Meng Tian was standing in front of him, waiting for the soldiers to execute him. Hou Sheng couldn't help but look towards
Seeing Meng Tian, he asked again: "Can I really not afford my own life?"
"How can a person like you understand that what a gentleman pursues is honor, not money... If you humiliate me like this again, I will make your death very painful." Meng Tian narrowed his eyes and said viciously.
"Honor? How much does honor cost?...Honor is worthless at all." Hou Sheng didn't know what he was thinking, he whispered.
The executioner stood behind Hou Sheng, preparing to behead him.
Hou Sheng looked at Meng Tian hurriedly and said: "If I can't buy my own life, then you can buy mine, give me some money, and then kill me."
Meng Tian's eyes widened. He looked at Hou Sheng in front of him. This guy must have been scared out of his mind, right?
Meng Tian took out a Qin coin from his arms and threw it in front of Hou Sheng.
Hou Sheng laughed and said, "Thank you..."
...
A child was playing in the courtyard. He was concentrating on building his own city on the soil, using stones to replace soldiers. While he was playing, his father led a middle-aged man into the house quickly. They sat down and they
He looked a little uneasy and a little scared.
"Your Majesty told me that thing again today. The people in the country love him more than they love the king. The soldiers in the country only think about his actions in restoring the country and only follow his orders. Even the ministers in the temple and the king.
I can only bow my head to see him..." The middle-aged man frowned, and then said: "The Lord is supported by him, but after all, he is also an official... He also has a successor.
The power…”
"Brother, you are right. The Lord just told you these words?" the boy's father asked in a low voice.
"Yes, after all, we are a family, so you can only tell me... Your Majesty has already made preparations. When Zhao's envoy arrives... he will tell the story in the temple. When the time comes, you
You must support your Majesty."
"I know, please don't worry, brother, but what I'm worried about is... if he is forced to rebel... we can't stop him..."
"It's okay, you can leave this matter to me..."
The two plotted for a long time. Finally, the middle-aged man left. The boy looked at his father curiously and asked, "Father? Are you going to sell Mr. Anping?"
"Don't talk nonsense! You can't tell anyone these words! Got it!"
"I just heard... you and your uncle said that you wanted to sell Mr. Anping to the Zhao people. Mr. Anping is my hero. He saved our country. He has great military exploits and has countless honors. How can you sell him?
?”
The boy's father sneered and said disdainfully: "What can't be sold? You can trade for anything, honor? Ha, honor is worthless!"
The boy was stunned and the stone in his hand fell to the ground.
He was stunned and murmured: "Everything... can be traded..."
