Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 66, Criticism

The Empress Dowager Huayang looked at the ministers who were constantly arguing below, and shouted angrily

"Enough is enough, my ministers of the Qin State are quarreling in the court without etiquette, and it is said that there is still He Guowei in our Qin State!"

"The empress dowager forgives the sin!" the ministers stopped and said.

"Mr. Chang'an, tell me your opinion on this matter." The Empress Dowager Huayang looked at Cheng Yu and said.

"Empress Dowager, my son thinks that Mr. Ziyou's three locust control strategies are to prevent the further expansion of the locust plague and save the people of our Qin State, which is beneficial to our Qin State. However, the process of locust control has aroused people's discussion , rumors and rumors are everywhere, what we should not discuss is the right and wrong of the three locust control strategies, but the problems that arise in the process of locust control, as well as the spearhead and reasons of these rumors, and at the same time, we must also praise some people who have been involved in this locust control. A hero." Cheng Yu said, cupping his hands.

"What Mr. Chang'an said is right, and the ministers seconded the proposal!" Some ministers of the Chu family began to agree with Cheng Yu, shouting the name of Mr. Chang'an one after another.

"In the past, Mozi once said: Today, the princes, lords, and gentlemen of the world will want to promote the benefits of the world and eliminate the harm of the world. If there are ghosts and gods, they must respect the Ming. Natural disasters are punishments and warnings sent down by the heavens, and for the sake of Qin's century-old plan, please pay attention to the king and queen mother." Mi Shuo stood up and shouted.

Ying Zheng held his sleeves tightly with his hands, looked at Cheng Yu and these ministers, but remained calm on the surface and did not speak.

"What does your Majesty mean?" said the Empress Dowager Huayang.

"The widow thinks what Mr. Chang'an said is true. The meritorious officials should be rewarded, and the rumors and gossips among the people should be investigated. The widow has already sent Mr. Ziyou to investigate." Ying Zheng said.

If Zhao Gao hadn't come back yesterday and told him the results of the investigation, he might really have been cornered. Ying Zheng respected Ziyou even more in his heart.

"I'm afraid that the rumors and rumors among the people are not caused by the common people's perception of natural disasters, but that there are some small people behind their backs who intend to fight against the court and the ignorant people in order to amass wealth and shake the foundation of our country." Lu Buwei suddenly sneered and said.

Mi Shuo's face changed drastically, but he quickly regained his composure, and said to Lu Buwei

"I don't know why the prime minister said that?"

"I should ask Mi Shangqing about this matter, you should know the name Chen Fan, right?" Lu Buwei said, stroking his beard.

"What is the prime minister talking about? I don't know this person." Mi Shuo forced himself to say calmly. Chen Fan was recommended by them, and he was a middle-ranking clan in Qin State.

"It seems that you still don't give up. Captain Ting can answer this question for you." Lu Buwei said flatly.

Yao Jia stood up and walked out, cupping his hands and saying
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Ting Wei accidentally arrested a person last night. Through the interrogation minister, he discovered a conspiracy to shake the foundation of our country, Qin. It is clear that this person is secretly bewitching people, using this to amass money and shake the foundation of our country of Qin. After arresting this person, Mr. Ziyou asked Wang Ben to take people back to Xianyang secretly, but he was attacked halfway and this person was taken away. In the end, it fell into the hands of my court lieutenant, and now I have investigated the rumors among the people, among them is the name of Shangqing Mishuo, and I ask the queen mother to look at it."

Yao Jia took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve, and Ying Zheng motioned for Zhao Gao to take it. Zhao Gao lowered his head and trotted to Yao Jia, took the bamboo slips and handed them to Ying Zheng. Although Ying Zheng already knew the result, Seeing the interrogation on the bamboo slips, anger suddenly rose, and he slapped the bamboo slips on the table and shouted

"The people here brought Mi Shuo down. Such a crime is too numerous to write down. Even dismembering the body by five horses can't solve the hatred in the hearts of the widows."

Ying Zheng's fury attracted the attention of the ministers and the queen mother, and the queen mother Huayang looked at the furious Ying Zheng and said with a sinking heart.

"When did the king become so angry?"

"The Queen Mother can take a look for herself." Ying Zheng handed the bamboo slips to the Queen Mother Huayang.

The Empress Dowager took the bamboo slips and opened them for a look. Her originally calm face instantly darkened, and she slammed the bamboo slips to the ground and said angrily.

"You Xiaoxiao dared to mess with Daqin, and immediately took Mi Shuo down, dragged him out and divided him into five horses."

Mi Shuo's eyes were full of fear, and he collapsed to the hall. He didn't expect that he was exposed so quickly. Maybe Mi Shuo didn't understand who his opponent was from the beginning?He thought it was Ziyou and Yingzheng, but in fact Mi Shuo's opponents were Lu Buwei, Zhao Ji and the Ying family. The reason why Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji have their current power is the king of Qin, Yingzheng, so whoever wants to move Yingzheng , who is their enemy.

"Queen Mother, please spare me, Lord Chang'an, save me!" Mi Shuo shouted.

"Shut up, the crime you committed cannot be forgiven even if you die hundreds of times, and now you dare to beg for mercy here, someone will drag you down, and you will be quartered." The Empress Dowager Huayang slapped the bench suddenly and said.

The two guards in front of the hall set up Mi Shuo and were about to pull Mi Shuo out, but was stopped by Lu Buwei
"Slow down, please calm down, Queen Mother. I'm afraid Mi Shuo was not alone in this matter. There must be accomplices. Please put Mi Shuo in prison first and interrogate slowly."

"Seniors and others!" The ministers of Lu Buwei's forces walked out of the ranks and said.

The Empress Dowager Huayang glanced at Lu Buwei. No one in the court of the Qin Dynasty knew that Mi Shuo had recently become close to Lord Chang'an. She also knew that Lu Buwei's purpose was to become a king of Chang'an. Even though she wanted to kill Mi Shuo directly and tell him to shut up, but in the face of the request of the ministers of the court, she could only order to be temporarily put in prison.

"I'm afraid Mi Shuo is not the only one responsible for this matter, and someone in the local area will definitely respond. Please order a thorough investigation at this time." Changping Jun stood up and said.

"My lord, Li Xin, the corps leader, brought the king's golden orders and imperial edicts last night, and ordered my ministers to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Lishan camp to arrest those who intend to rebel. I have already asked Li Xin to lead more than a thousand troops to Beidi County. There will be results today." Meng Wu suddenly stood up and said.

After Meng Wu finished speaking, everyone was stunned. Everyone didn't expect Ying Zheng's actions to be so fast, so fast that they didn't hear any news. At this time, Li Jing, the senior official among the civil servants, was stunned.

Because he heard that their young master Li Xin led a team to arrest these powerful families, he smiled wryly in his heart. Now their Li family doesn't know how many people they will offend, but they are not afraid.

If you really want to touch their Li family, first ask the Taoists on Taiyi Mountain whether they agree or not, but he lamented Ying Zheng's method and forced the Li family to stand by his side.

At this time in Beidi County, after a night of absurd dignitaries, they were lying on the table drunk and dreaming, unaware that the army of thousands of people outside had surrounded the place, Li Xin was wearing armor and shouted on horseback
"Surround the entire house, and don't let anyone go. If you encounter resistance, kill it on the spot!"

"Who are you? Do you know where this is?" At this moment, a servant looked at the army outside and shouted.

"I don't care where you are. Your Majesty has ordered us to arrest the rebels. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed." Li Xin took out the edict in his hand and shouted.

The soldiers around looked at these servants covetously. They wished that these servants would resist. As long as they resisted, it would be against the court, and that would be treason. reward.

"Go!" Li Xin gave the order, and the soldiers rushed into the courtyard immediately.

Li Xin kicked the hall open with someone, and was immediately surprised by the scene inside. The promiscuous men and women, the table full of gold, silver and jewelry, looking at the exposed dancers and naked men, Li Xin blushed slightly. up.

"Take them all!!!"

Li Xin's voice alarmed these people. These people opened their eyes in a daze, and they saw a bright long sword. The coldness coming from their necks surprised them instantly. They looked at Li Xin and asked
"You... who are you?" one of them stammered.

"Who am I? Li Xin, Captain of the Xianyang Guards." Li Xin kicked the table and said.

"A little corporal dares to arrest me? Do you know who I am?" Another man stood up and shouted.

"Oh? Who are you?" Li Xin asked with narrowed eyes.

"I am the magistrate of Niyang County in the North." The middle-aged man straightened his robe and looked at Li Xin with disdain.

"Niyang county magistrate? I am Li Xin in Huaili, my father Di Daohou." Li Xin said lightly.

Hearing Di Daohou's name, the middle-aged man's face turned pale, his hands kept shaking, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"Take them all away, and send someone to show me their homes. No one is allowed to go." Li Xin said.

"promise!!"
