Chapter 755
After hearing the news, Yi Xiaochuan hurried to Juxian Hall, wanting to inform those talents from the Six Kingdoms who were still in Juxian Hall to escape before Zhao Gao brought anyone to arrest him.

It's just that as Yi Xiaochuan's opponent, Zhao Gao wanted to deal with Yi Xiaochuan a long time ago, how could he let Yi Xiaochuan inform the people in Juxian Hall to escape?So just as Yi Xiaochuan arrived at the Juxian Hall, he led people to rush over and surrounded the Juxian Hall.

Those warriors from the Six Kingdoms who were still staying in the Juxian Hall heard that the Juxian Hall was surrounded, and each of them picked up their weapons filled with righteous indignation, wanting to rush out and fight Zhao Gao with their lives.

Yi Xiaochuan quickly blocked the door, and said loudly, "Master Fusu has treated us with great kindness, if we take up our swords to resist, wouldn't it just be true for our rhetoric of conspiring to rebel? Is it unjust?"

After hearing Yi Xiaochuan's words, those people from the six countries who were favored by Mr. Fu Su felt a little embarrassed. You must know that Mr. Fu treated them well. After they came, not only did they not help Mr. Su, but they also kept giving Mr. Fusu caused trouble, which made them not know what to do for a while.

Yi Xiaochuan saw that everyone listened to it, so he said persistently, "Everyone go to the prison and endure it for a while, and when General Meng Tian or Mr. Fusu come back, they will definitely find a way to save you. Please trust Mr. Fusu."

Just when everyone listened to Yi Xiaochuan's words and was about to put down their weapons and surrender, a person suddenly retorted, "You have already quit Juxian Hall, and this arrest will have no effect on you. Is it so tolerable to be tortured in the prison? Look at the more than 400 Confucian scholars who were arrested in the prison a while ago, why were they charged with crimes later? Could it be that they couldn’t bear the torture?”

What this person said is really reasonable, and there are such vivid examples in the prison, which made the staff of Juxian Hall who were about to put down their weapons subconsciously grasp their weapons.

Yi Xiaochuan can't let them really fight with the captors. In that case, not only those who went to the scene will die, but even Mr. Fusu and General Meng Tian will be implicated. He said very loyally, "Since this Brother said so, I will rejoin Juxiantang from today, and share joys and sorrows with you, what do you think?"

The person making the fuss was originally a spy bought by Zhao Gao. Knowing Yi Xiaochuan's character, Zhao Gao deliberately let Yi Xiaochuan jump into the pit by himself, and he was also ready to take a good breath.

You know, because of Yi Xiaochuan, a good cook, he was brought to Qin.

It was because of Yi Xiaochuan that he became a eunuch by making him a good man.

It is because of Yi Xiaochuan that Liu Bang, the most important enemy in his good revenge plan, just slipped away under his nose!

It is because of Yi Xiaochuan! !

Yi Xiaochuan's behavior has indeed successfully subdued the hearts of all the people in Juxian Hall, making them put down their weapons one by one, and Zhao Gao led people to arrest them.

At the same time, Yi Xiaochuan also officially fell into Zhao Gao's hands.

……

After Wang Yue received the news, he didn't care at all. He just thought that if Zhao Gao was a hero, he should give Yi Xiaochuan a castration, and then ask Yi Xiaochuan if he could forgive him.

Wang Yue didn't care about the struggle between Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao, he just felt that after this incident, he had a better chance of getting military power.

Sure enough, on the second day after Yi Xiaochuan and others were arrested, Wang Yue received news that people from Tu Anguo ambushed Meng Tian on his way back to Xianyang. Although Meng Tian rushed over, he seemed to be seriously injured.

Wang Yue deliberately disclosed this news to the guards of the imperial city in advance. Not long after, not only Zhao Gao and Li Si knew the news, but even Qin Shihuang knew about it.

So, early the next morning, Wang Yue received an edict from the palace, asking Wang Yue to attend the court meeting today.

This court meeting is not a big court meeting, but some important ministers gathered together to discuss the recent major events.

When Wang Yue arrived, all the so-called important officials looked at him, and he was not timid, so he respectfully saluted Qin Shihuang, and then obediently stood aside, listening to these discussions about political affairs.

Seeing Wang Yue's calmness, everyone admired him very much, thinking that the grandson of Wang Jian's old fox is really extraordinary, and given time, he will definitely be another general of the empire.

If Wang Yue knew, he would definitely say to the second child, "I am who I am! Don't be the next one!"

After being quiet for a while, Zhao Gao continued what he had said just now, and said in a cold tone, "Your Majesty, those disobedient Confucian scholars have already been murdered in Xianyang, and they have already set up a list to warn the world. It is enough to deter those who plot evil. people."

Qin Shihuang nodded. Seeing that everyone was silent, he seemed to intend to test Wang Yue, so he looked at Wang Yue and asked, "Wang Yue, this is the first time you have come to the court meeting. What do you think about this matter?"

Wang Yue didn't expect Qin Shihuang to come to test him at this time. He keenly knew that the emperor was looking at the court hall, and there was only Zhao Gaoli's voice. He knew that he had made a mistake and suppressed Fusu too hard.

Therefore, for Wang Yue, the new spokesperson of the royal family, Qin Shihuang really wanted to know Wang Yue's attitude, whether he was on the side of Mr. Fusu or Zhao Gao. Of course, he hoped that Wang Yue would be on his side.

Wang Yue is used to salty fish, and he doesn't want to engage in any party with them. He said without hesitation, "Your Majesty, I feel that killing those people is really a waste."

Wang Yue's words made Zhao Gaoli a little puzzled, and the other important ministers were also a little suspicious.

It may be said that Wang Yue is facing those Confucian scholars, but Wang Yue's attitude does not seem to be the same, because when more than 400 Confucian scholars were beheaded, according to the news, Wang Yue was still painting with his beautiful wife and concubine, although the process is unknown , but definitely very fragrant.

It's just that Wang Yue doesn't want Confucian scholars, but Wang Yue said that it's a pity to kill him, why is it a pity?Shouldn't he be killed?

This made the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty a little curious about what Wang Yue was thinking.

Qin Shihuang was very surprised, and was very interested in Wang Yue's thoughts. He asked curiously, "Oh, what is Wang Aiqing's idea, why don't you tell me, what a pity?"

When Wang Yue heard Qin Shihuang's question, he said without hesitation, "Your Majesty, it takes at least ten years for a male to grow up to be a strong laborer. We collect so much labor every year. Every male Ding is our resource. Why can't these dying people be sent to labor? This will reduce the burden on the people, let the people know His Majesty's mercy, and allow those who have made mistakes to redeem themselves. This is Why not do something that kills two birds with one stone?"

Qin Shihuang was stunned for a while when he heard Wang Yue's words. He felt that what Wang Yue said was not only reasonable, but also showed an attitude, that is, the Wang family only thought about His Majesty. After he understood it, he smiled happily and said, " Aiqing is still as fast-talking as before, but the law has already stipulated it, if it is not done according to the law, it will not give the officials below a lot of loopholes to exploit."

Wang Yue was not discouraged either, he just said casually, anyway, he did not participate in the struggle between Zhao Gao and Yi Xiaochuan, he shook his head very easily and said, "Your Majesty, from the beginning of the founding of the country to the present, the laws of the Great Qin have already changed. It has changed countless times. At present, we have unified the six countries, which is different from the previous Pian An corner. Now the country needs a lot of labor. Under this special situation, I feel that such a waste of manpower is really not worth it. You need to know more The Confucian family is very good, the food is much better than that of ordinary people, and the body is much stronger. With a little exercise, they can work for many years. Think about Meng Jiangnu’s husband, who has worked hard for more than ten years. , did not have time to go home, and has been doing hard labor outside, which seems that our laws are not human. There are still many people like this. If there are enough criminals or captives to do hard labor, the people will be freed, and it will be It shows His Majesty's benevolence."

Qin Shihuang heard it, and Wang Yue focused on a prisoner. That is to say, if Wang Yue was sent to the frontier, he would definitely capture some prisoners and return to serve in corvee, instead of sending people from the country to serve in labor.

Qin Shihuang thought for a while, and felt that the pressure on the country of Yan was less, and the corvee was far away, so he could give it a try, so he nodded and said, "Wait for a while, when General Meng arrives, I have a task to send Give you."

Wang Yue saw that Qin Shihuang didn't agree or disagree, and he didn't force it, so he simply answered a promise, and immediately stood back to the position just now, motionless like a statue.

Of course Li Si understood Wang Yue's thoughts. He felt that Wang Yue's actions had blocked the corvee control of Yandi in the country, so he didn't know how many people Wang Yue had in his hands. He felt that Wang Yue seemed to be more difficult to deal with than Wang Jian. .

However, although he didn't have any selfish intentions, of course Li Si didn't expose it. He took a deep look at Wang Yue. He had a deep impression on Wang Yue. Thinking that Qin Shihuang actually used Wang Yue in his later years, this made him a little entangled, whether he should be as neutral as before.

Zhao Gao didn't think much about it, he felt that if the control is good, it is indeed possible for these Confucian scholars to serve in labor. Their purpose is not these Confucian scholars, but to make the young master help Su make mistakes, and then leave Yi Xiaochuan helpless, so he killed In fact, he doesn't care if he doesn't kill him. He doesn't care about the life and death of Confucian scholars in the world.

Seeing that the conversation between Qin Shihuang and Wang Yue had come to an end, Zhao Gao hurriedly bowed and continued, "Your Majesty, when I was searching for these Confucian scholars, I found that Confucian scholars were related to Juxian Hall. There is evidence of treason.”

Qin Shihuang took a deep look at Zhao Gao. He knew that Zhao Gao wanted revenge, but he also wanted to clean up the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, so he didn't expose it, but asked suspiciously, "Is there any evidence?"

Zhao Gao was a little frightened by Qin Shihuang's look, he bent down quickly, and then mustered up the courage to say, "Yes, it's absolutely true."

Li Si has now boarded the same boat with Zhao Gao, and he has no way out. Seeing that Zhao Gao could not withstand Qin Shihuang's pressure, he quickly answered, "Your Majesty, since the CRRC government order found convincing evidence Therefore, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to kill Confucian scholars and execute those rebels in Juxian Hall, so that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms will never dare to think of rebellion."

Qin Shihuang didn't say anything when he saw the unanimous opinion of the two of them. Instead, he looked at the other important ministers and asked seriously, "My dear ministers, what's your opinion?"

After Qin Shihuang finished speaking, the others remained silent, which made Qin Shihuang understand that he had really gone too far in suppressing Fusu, and these important officials were not strict in silence.

Wang Yue looked at Qin Shihuang, thinking that at this time, Qin Shihuang must not be embarrassed, so he raised his leg and wanted to say a few words.

Just when Wang Yue wanted to speak, Qin Shihuang waved his hand, indicating that he understood what Wang Yue wanted to say, and told Wang Yue not to say anything.

Wang Yue just wanted to express his attitude to Qin Shihuang. He saw that Qin Shihuang didn't let him speak, so he didn't say anything. One voice, this is very wrong.

Sure enough, Qin Shihuang saw that all the ministers in the court had the same opinion, and his face became more and more gloomy, but now is not the time to change the court structure, so he can only put it down temporarily and talk about it later.

Moreover, Qin Shihuang originally wanted to kill the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and now that he could achieve his goal, he said without hesitation, "Then follow Aiqing's opinion."

At this moment, someone outside the hall suddenly stopped and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice. I, Meng Tian, ​​also have a share in Juxian Hall. If Juxian Hall rebels, Meng Tian will naturally have a share."

There was a gleam of joy in Qin Shihuang's eyes, he pretended not to know Zhao Gao, and then asked in a deep voice, "Is there such a thing?"

Zhao Gao faintly felt that something was wrong, so he didn't open his mouth to speak. Now he dare not involve Meng Tian, ​​even if Fu Su he dare not kill, he only wants Yi Xiaochuan's life.

Just when Zhao Gao was hesitating, Meng Tian saw that everyone was silent, so he continued, "Think about it, Your Majesty, if Juxiantang really intends to rebel, then why would it not be able to resist when it was rounded up? Everyone would fight to the death for a capital crime, isn't it strange that they were caught without a fight? Obviously, Juxiantang has no intention of treason at all, and as for those confessions, they may have been tortured into tricks."

Qin Shihuang also knew that when he entered the prison, at least five or six of the so-called evidences were tortured, but now all the confessions are consistent, so there must be such a wave that must be true, so he is ready to kill the wrong pass.

But now Meng Tian seemed to be against it, he was a little happy, after all someone had a big fight with Li Si, the emperor was hesitant to give up this opportunity.

Zhao Gao heard Meng Tian say this, doesn't it mean that he was tortured into a trick?He quickly said, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I have a lot of evidence, it is impossible for me to be tortured."

Qin Shihuang was waiting for an excuse, so he immediately asked, "Bring it up and let all the ministers see it."

Zhao Gao was overjoyed and thought it was a trick, so he hurriedly asked someone to take down the certificate he had prepared, and he said proudly, "Your Majesty, these are the records of the minister's personal interrogation. Please read it, Your Majesty."

When Wang Yue heard this, he knew that Zhao Gao had said something wrong. Zhao Gao was a eunuch, so he could be arrested, but not tried.

Sure enough, Meng Tian waited for Zhao Gao to deliver, and immediately asked, "Did you personally interrogate these confessions? Master Zhao also arrested them himself."

Zhao Gao didn't understand the laws of Qin, so he said proudly, "Of course!"

Meng Tian looked at Zhao Gao with a smile, and said righteously, "Then I would like to congratulate Mr. Zhao, Your Majesty, I want to join the Zhongche Mansion Order Zhao Gao, please Your Majesty grant him the death penalty."

Zhao Gao didn't expect Meng Tian to say such a thing, so he frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't understand this very much. The subject was also ordered by His Majesty to be interrogated. I have to say what I did wrong."

Meng Tian looked at Zhao Gao disdainfully, and said word by word, "Zhao Gao, as the official of the CRRC government, you are changing officials. The eunuchs of the Great Qin Dynasty are not allowed to interfere in political affairs. Zhao Gao was supposed to be punished. Your Majesty benevolent Only then will I let you go, so that you will not interfere in the affairs outside the palace. However, you Zhao Gao took advantage of the time when my son Fusu and I were not in Xianyang, and when no one dared to oppose him in the hall, to let yourself The powerful forces interfered in the affairs outside the palace, killed innocent people indiscriminately, and made the city full of storms, making everyone in the world think that the second Lai Ai is coming again."

Zhao Gao also thought about that incident at that time, knowing that it was Qin Shihuang's taboo, so he hurriedly said, "What evidence do you have? I just acted according to His Majesty's will."

Meng Tian said word by word, "Zhao Gao's crime, according to the law, he must be quartered!"

Qin Shihuang saw that Zhao Gao was no match for Meng Tian, ​​so he looked at Li Si, he wanted to balance, if Zhao Gao was too weak, he would have to reconsider, he asked in a deep voice, "Prime Minister, according to the law How is it stipulated?"

Li Si glanced at Zhao Gao. He knew that there was a voice in the court today, which was a bit taboo, so he pretended to be helpless and said, "Your Majesty, the law has such provisions, but this time the situation is different..."

What Meng Tian was waiting for was Li Si's words, and he immediately said, "It seems that the prime minister knows that Zhao Gao violated the law, but you just don't say it. If you just turn a blind eye, isn't that against the great Qin? Sheji, are you also turning a blind eye?"

Li Si was a little dissatisfied, he was ready to take a step back, but this Meng Tian couldn't let go, he glared at Meng Tian and said, "General, how can you say that?"

Meng Tian didn't look at Li Si either, he said very dissatisfied, "Your Majesty, I not only want to participate in the Zhongche government order, but also Li Si, as well as the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. They all know that the Zhongche government order violated the law, but they all Afraid of Zhao Gao's power, knowing it but not telling it, allowing an eunuch to make trouble, this is forming a party for personal gain, and it is a crime of deceiving the emperor."

Qin Shihuang saw that Meng Tian had already expressed his thoughts just now, so he took the opportunity to look at those important ministers who kept silent, and said very dissatisfied, "You can change your words on weekdays, why are you all dumb now?"
