Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 430, King Zhao Qian died, King Chu Xiong Han died violently

When Zhao Wangqian heard Zhao Gao's words, the jade in his mouth instantly fell to the ground. He looked at Ying Zheng blankly. He did not expect that Ying Zheng would directly kill him.

The people and officials of Zhao State were also stunned at this moment. Zhao Wangqian was directly sentenced to death, which they had never thought of. Qin destroyed the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Yan. Han Wangan, Wei Wangzeng, and even Yan Wangxi who escaped and was captured by the Qin army were not sentenced to death by Qin. However, Zhao Wangqian was directly sentenced to death when he surrendered.

Even if Zhao Wangqian was killed by Ying Zheng at random after his surrender, it would not matter. However, when he surrendered, he was directly sentenced to death for the first time in hundreds or even thousands of years. Now that Zhao Wangqian has been sentenced to death, these Zhao ministers and clan members are all very nervous, fearing that Ying Zheng will kill them all and be buried with Zhao Wangqian!

Li Mu's eyes were also full of surprise. The deal between him and Ziyou was that Zhao Wangqian must die and the Zhao royal family could stay, but he did not expect that Ying Zheng would kill Zhao Wangqian when he surrendered. If the entire territory of Zhao State was captured by Qin, it would naturally not matter, but at this moment, Qin occupied less than half of Zhao State's territory. The remaining cities surrendered because of Zhao Wangqian's surrender edict. Now Ying Zheng is in front of everyone. If Zhao Wangqian is given death, these cities will definitely raise the banner of Zhao and fight to the death against Qin.

Although Ying Zheng's decision to kill King Zhao and move him to the throne at this moment would do more harm than good or even bring no benefit at all, Li Mu felt extra warm in his heart. This was a feeling of being valued and valued. The Wuling cavalry on both sides opened their eyes wide. The eyes of these veterans began to turn red, and some even shed tears on the spot.

Zhao Wangqian and them had a vengeance of massacre. When they thought that this revenge could not be avenged, they did not expect that Ying Zheng actually ordered Zhao Wangqian to death in public. Although the edict said a lot, in the final analysis it was just one sentence, you kill The entire Wuling Iron Cavalry clan has been killed, and now I will kill you to avenge them! These people now looked at Ying Zheng with a little more respect.

The cry of a goat woke everyone up, and a doctor behind Ying Zheng stood up and shouted to Ying Zheng

"No, Your Majesty. Now the Zhao Kingdom has decided that it is not advisable to use weapons rashly. Although Zhao Wangqian has committed a heinous crime and nothing can be done to wash away his sins, killing Zhao Wangqian at this time will make it difficult to convince the people, and it will be easier to make the people of Zhao State hate Qin!"

Everyone's eyes moved to this doctor. Ziyou looked at this doctor, and the identity of this doctor came to his mind. He was the head of the Confucian Guliang Confucian School and one of the great Confucians of the contemporary era. A glimmer of hope rose in Zhao Wangqian's eyes. He did not expect that someone would stand up and speak for him. Although the Confucian master of Guliang wanted to stabilize the hearts of the Zhao people, as long as he could save his life.

Just when Ziyou stood up and prepared to help Yingzheng debate the scriptures. A doctor in the PhD queue cursed

"How dare you, a villain who just chooses his own name, make trouble in front of the king!"

Ziyou looked at this doctor, he was very familiar with him, Gongyang Yu, the head of Gongyangru's family. Seeing that it was Gong Yangyu who stood up, Ziyou stopped preparing to speak out. At this time, no one was more prepared to speak out than Gong Yangyu.

Ying Zheng's eyes also shifted from the head of the Guliang Confucian family to Gong Yangyu, and motioned Gong Yangyu to continue speaking.

"Wang Qian of Zhao has been in power for more than ten years. He has not been involved in government affairs, mismanaged the people, appointed sycophants, and slaughtered the families of the country's officers and soldiers at will based on his personal likes and dislikes. He committed a heinous crime. The old saying goes that when the vitality is established and established as a king, the destiny is not permanent, so Assistance is only virtue. God's heart in human affairs selects talents and talents from all over the world and is happy to recommend them. They are not unique to one person. Now Zhao Zhi's evildoers are born one after another, and there are many flesh and blood. The vassals are provoking, and the same evil can be affected by the affairs of one country. Let these evil people go.

The saints have said that a true monarch should proceed from the interests of all the people in the world, rather than from his own selfish interests. The king gave Zhao Wangqian death to avenge the people of Zhao State, and for Wu Ling who died in vain at the hands of Zhao Wangqian. Revenge for the family members of the cavalry is to comply with the destiny of heaven, to punish heaven, to correct the way of the world, to bless all the people in the world, and to set an example of a benevolent king.

And you are a rotten scholar who always talks about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but you forget to repay kindness with kindness and repay grievance with kindness? I even want the king to act in his own selfish interests, regardless of the suffering of the people of Zhao State for many years, and to disregard the morality of the world. This is even more despicable! "

As Gong Yang Yu continued to speak a long chapter, everyone present was stunned. It was not that they did not understand the meaning of Gong Yang Yu's words, but that Gong Yang Yu spoke too fast for others to react. But Ziyou understood. Gongyang Yu directly put Gu Liangru on the fire and roasted him.

The first part of the Gongyang Edict talks about Zhao Wangqian's faults and what the monarch should do. He also tells the conspiracy and tricks that Zhao Wangqian used to gain power, the ridiculous things he did during his reign, and the harm he did to the people. The second part is to put a high hat on Ying Zheng. The purpose of giving Yingzheng death to Zhao Wangqian was to set an example of a holy king, protect the people of Zhao State, and uphold justice in the world. This made Gu Liangru unable to say it.

It's not that the head of the Confucian family in Guliang can't argue, it's that he doesn't dare. If he debates, he will argue on the basis of Ying Zheng, saying that Ying Zheng is not worthy of being a holy king. Originally, Gu Liangru was not very popular in the Qin State. If he offended Ying Zheng again, Gu Liangru would be killed in his hands.

When the Guliang Confucianists advocated that one should speak one's mouth and keep one's mouth shut, Ziyou stood up and said

"Your Majesty, what Dr. Gongyang said makes sense. I support the death of King Zhao Qian!"

With Ziyou taking the lead, other doctors and accompanying ministers stood up one after another and said

"I agree!"

Ying Zheng looked at Gong Yang Yu with a flash of relief in his eyes. Gong Yang Ru was in line with his taste, otherwise he would not have come out to bring Gong Yang Yu out this time, just so that someone could help him debate scriptures anytime and anywhere. .

Ying Zheng glanced at Zhao Wangqian lightly and said

"Do it!"

"promise!"

Zhang Han, holding the windladder sword, stepped forward and chopped off Zhao Wangqian's head with one sword. As Zhao Wangqian's head fell to the ground, heartbreaking cries could be heard for a moment. The people who cried for Zhao Wangqian were naturally the people and ministers of Zhao State. When their monarch died in front of them, they cried even if they felt nothing in their hearts, which could be regarded as saving the last face of Zhao State.

"Bury him with the etiquette of a king," Ying Zheng said.

"promise!"

"Zhao Gao announced the call!" Ying Zheng continued.

Zhao Gao took out the second edict and said

"Li Mu of Zhao, guarded the country's borders, resisted the Huns and barbarians for more than ten years, and defended the Zhao country's borders. He retained his title of Lord Wu'an and was awarded the fiefdom of Wu'an and a settlement of 500 households!"

At this time, everyone had forgotten their cries and looked at Li Mu and Ying Zheng with disbelief in their eyes. Li Mu was retained the title of Lord Wu An, which surprised them even more than Zhao Wangqian was sentenced to death. Li Mu was also given the title of Lord Wu An by Ying Zheng. He was shocked by his generosity, but he still came back to his senses and saluted Ying Zheng and said

"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty. Li Mu will die serving the country!"

Ying Zheng smiled and helped Li Mu up and said

"From today onwards, Lord Wu'an is Lord Wu'an of Qin. From now on, the north of Qin State needs to fulfill its duties loyally."

"I accept your order!"

After helping Li Mu up, Ying Zheng led everyone towards Handan City. As for the Zhao clan and ministers who stayed behind, they were continued to be detained.

Ying Zheng did not go to Zhao Palace, but to the east city of Handan, in front of a dilapidated courtyard. Ziyou and others who were following him were silent as they looked at the dilapidated courtyard. They naturally understood why Ying Zheng came to this courtyard. This was the original Proton Mansion, where Ying Zheng was born and suffered. .

"Fusu, come with me." Ying Zheng was about to walk into the courtyard. When he opened the door, he said, "You stay outside!"

Fusu followed Ying Zheng and walked into the courtyard without saying a word. The ministers who were left behind looked at each other and dared not speak. Wang Jian came to Ziyou and whispered.

"Lieutenant, will the king be in any danger?"

"Don't worry, the Zhao people are not stupid enough to assassinate the king now. If something happens to the king, the entire Handan City will have to pay the price for quelling the king's anger." Ziyou said calmly.

Wang Jian stopped talking and waited silently for Ying Zheng to come out. Ying Zheng walked into the courtyard and looked at the wildly growing weeds and collapsed houses with flashes of memories in his eyes. His best and most painful memories were all in this small courtyard.

Fusu followed Ying Zheng without saying a word, silently looking around, imagining his father's life in childhood, but no matter how he imagined it, he felt that something was wrong. Fusu, who had been established as a prince since birth and grew up in fine clothes and fine food, could not understand the life Ying Zheng lived as a child and the joys and sorrows he experienced.

"Fusu, this is where I was born, what do you think?" Ying Zheng asked in a low voice.

After hearing what Ying Zheng said, Fusu was stunned for a moment, and then replied

"My child, I can't imagine it."

"It's true that you can't imagine it. I grew up with Zhao people scolding me and looking down on me. Sometimes they would even make trouble outside the door at night. At that time, I could only hide in my mother's arms and cry. Shivering, although our lives were difficult at that time, the maternal love we felt was unprecedented." Ying Zheng looked into the room, and the past events seemed to be vivid in his mind.

"That should be the best feeling during father's bad days." Fusu said.

"Yes, but now those feelings have become extravagant hopes. Power can make people lose their minds and forget the existence of emotions." Ying Zheng suddenly turned to Fusu and said, "Fusu, if you want to become a qualified king, You cannot be swayed by emotions. I believe that you will not become a heartless and unjust person, but I hope that you will always be prepared to abandon all emotions."

Ying Zheng's cold face made Ying Zheng seem to be a superior god who controlled the life and death of others, which made Fusu feel nervous.

"My son, I know." Fusu said, cupping his hands.

Seeing Fusu's appearance, Yingzheng knew that Fusu did not understand the meaning of his words, but Yingzheng was not in a hurry. He still had plenty of time to make Fusu understand.

"Let's go to Zhao Wang Palace."

"promise!"

After Ying Zheng and Fu Su walked out of the small courtyard, they led the ministers towards the Zhao Palace. After casually looking at the Zhao Palace, Ying Zheng let everyone disperse, leaving Zi You to follow him. Inside the palace.

Ziyou and Yingzheng sat across from each other.

"Teacher, now that I have killed Zhao Wangqian, the Zhao people must still be a little unconvinced and may rebel again. What do you think we should do?" Ying Zheng asked. Killing Zhao Wangqian was Ying Zheng's temporary decision. Ziyou and his original plan was to first move Zhao Wangqian to prison and then put Zhao Wangqian on trial.

Ziyou was a little caught off guard by Ying Zheng's sudden killing of Zhao Wangqian, but he soon came up with an idea.

"This matter cannot be done by means of decrees. We can only divert Zhao people's attention." Ziyou said.

There was already a lot of hatred between Qin and Zhao, and now Zhao Wangqian has been killed. Although the reason for killing Zhao Wangqian is reasonable and legal, it is inevitable that the Zhao people will still be hostile to Qin, so now they can only By diverting the hatred that Zhao people may have towards Qin.

"Teacher, do you mean to find someone to take the blame?" Ying Zheng asked.

"I agreed before. Li Mu asked a novelist to write a biography of the Wuling Cavalry and spread it widely among the people. A good story must have a bad guy who is hated by people. We need to use this person to divert the hatred and hatred of Zhao people. Dissatisfied." Ziyou said.

"It seems that Guo Kai can take the responsibility for this matter." Ying Zheng said calmly.

"The affairs of the Wuling Cavalry were handled by Zhao Wangqian and Lieutenant Wei, so Guo Kai cannot be solely responsible for this matter," Ziyou said.

Now Guo Kai is still the death of the Qin State. If negative news about Guo Kai appears in Zhao Di, it will easily be self-defeating. If there is no figure of Guo Kai in this matter, it will easily arouse the suspicion of Lord Changping, so this matter The degree must be grasped. The novelist is only responsible for writing and singing. As for who will take the blame, Zhao can only decide for himself.

"Let Mr. Fu Nian talk to the novelist about this matter," Ying Zheng said.

Just when Ziyou and Ying Zheng were discussing how to govern the Zhao land, Zhao Gao suddenly received a secret letter outside the door. After opening it and reading it, Zhao Gao rushed into the palace regardless of the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers. .

"Your Majesty, Lieutenant, something bad has happened. King Chu Xiong Han died suddenly!" Zhao Gao said to the two of them.

"Is Xiong Han dead?" Ying Zheng asked with a frown.

"That's right. According to the secret message from Luo Wang, Xiong Han died five days ago. Now Shouchun is closed, the Chu Palace is controlled by Li Yuan, and there has been no morning court in the Chu Kingdom for five days." Zhao Gao will Luo Wang. The secret message sent was handed over to Ying Zheng.

After Ying Zheng read it, he handed the letter to Ziyou. Ziyou looked at the contents of the secret message. It only contained the sudden death of King Chu Xiong Han. The specific cause of death was still under investigation.

"Changping Jun was so clever that he actually murdered King Xiong Han of Chu." Ziyou said in a deep voice after reading.

"Xiong You died early when Qu Jingzhao's family rebelled and fled. Fu Chu was also killed by Li Yuan. Now that Xiong Han is dead, he is the only successor to King Chu. He is really good at it." Ying Zheng He said coldly.

The person Ying Zheng refers to naturally refers to Lord Changping. Apart from Xiong Han, Xiong You, and Fu Chu, the only legal heir to the throne of the Chu Kingdom is Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping. Once the first three died, Xiong Qi naturally became the only heir, regardless of whether Li Yuan was willing to let Xiong Qi When he became King of Chu, the people of Chu State only recognized Xiong Qi. Now the Chu royal family can only have Xiong Qi as his heir.

"The king may have forgotten that there is another person who can inherit the Chu Kingdom." Ziyou said.

"who!?"
