Chapter 140 Questioning the Soul from the First Emperor
"...Emperor's eldest grandson Ying is proud of his favor, without the emperor's talisman festival, he mobilized troops in an important place in the capital, and if he is not severely punished, the minister fears that the disaster of Chang Xinhou will not be far away..."

"... Great Qin warriors are the sharp weapons of the country. The emperor's eldest son Ying is domineering, driving the soldiers to shovel snow and repair houses. He is like a prisoner. If he is not punished, the morale of the army may be shaken..."

"...Emperor Sun Ying, under the guise of disaster relief, went out to buy fame and reputation, buy people's hearts for the truth, with ulterior motives..."

"...Emperor Sun Ying, under the guise of disaster relief, disturbed the place, causing people's grievances to boil..."

Countless memorials to impeach the emperor's eldest grandson poured into the palace again like snowflakes.

The first emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, and read each article with great interest. While reading, he did not forget to pick up the brush and write one name after another on the paper spread beside him.

The paper is new paper, Zhao Ying sent someone to deliver it some time ago, it is tougher than the previous paper, and the writing is smoother, even touching it with hands has a very comfortable texture.

In Zhao Ying's words, this is called Xuan paper.

He quite liked it.

Just like today, the list he wrote on it casually, the handwriting is clear, not exaggerated, and it looks very pleasing to the eye.

After reading the memorial, the list is also written on more than half a sheet of paper.

It's not too many, but it looks like there are 30 to [-] people, of all kinds, almost every yamen has them, especially Yushitai, which is a hard-hit area.

The First Emperor picked it up, examined it carefully for a long time, and was about to greet Hei who was standing beside him, when he saw his youngest son walking in carefully holding a tray.

Involuntarily moved in his heart, he quietly put away the list, and looked at Hu Hai who came in calmly.

"Ah Weng, I see that you have worked hard here for a long time, and I specially asked the chef to cook a bowl of ginseng soup for you—try it..."

The first emperor's eyes moved slightly, he nodded with a smile, reached out to take the ginseng soup on Hu Hai's tray, put it to his mouth and took a sip, and then casually pointed to the memorabilia on the table.

"Come on, look at these..."

Hu Hai glanced at the memorabilia on the table, his eyelids twitched slightly, and secretly looked at the face of the first emperor, seeing that there was no clue, he was a little relieved.

However, there was still some hesitation in the action.

"No problem—"

Probably knowing the worries in his little son's heart, Emperor Shi Huang lightly added a sentence while stirring the ginseng soup in the bowl with a spoon.

Although Hu Hai was a little unsure, he still bit the bullet and looked over one by one.

They all impeached Zhao Ying!
"Aon..."

Hu Hai looked at Shi Huangdi who was still drinking ginseng soup slowly.

"Do you think these accusations about the grandson of the emperor are true? If true, how should we deal with it..."

Hu Hai couldn't help being startled, he hesitated for a moment, then considered his words and said.

"I think it's a bit exaggerated, but—Ying'er doesn't have a talisman, and it's really a bit rash to mobilize the army without authorization..."

Having said that, he secretly looked at Shi Huangdi's face before adding cautiously.

"Ying'er has always been simple and kind-hearted. He will definitely not do the same disasters as Chang Xinhou and others. These people are a bit exaggerated. It should be an unintentional mistake. I hope Ah Weng can deal with it lightly..."

Hearing this, Emperor Shihuang couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly, and looked at this young son who had already grown into a city, showing a hint of a meaningful smile.

Then, calmly, he took out the list that was pressed under the table, and handed it to Hei who was beside him.

"According to this list, go and investigate the background of these people. I suspect that they are forming a party for personal gain, deceiving others, and committing crimes. Maybe there are still people colluding with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. If they don't abide by the rules, they will be killed directly... ..."

Hu Hai was suddenly startled.

He really wanted to see who was on the list, but Emperor Shihuang had already given the list to Hei, and he didn't let him see it, so he didn't dare to take the initiative to look it up, so he could only stand there like a pinch.

Fortunately, Shi Huangdi didn't stay any longer, and looked back to see that he was still standing there, and then waved his hand casually.

"You don't need to wait here, go and do your work..."

Hu Hai immediately turned and left the hall as if he had received an amnesty.

After arriving at the main hall, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, so he found an excuse and hurried back to his house.

Many, Li Shiqi, who has now become Hu Hai's number one confidant after Zhao Gao, was invited into his study.

"Mr. Li, those memorials are really useful - I'm afraid His Majesty has already suspected me that I'm behind the scenes..."

Before Li Shiqi could sit down, Hu Hai subconsciously leaned forward slightly and couldn't wait to ask, with some indescribable panic in his eyes.

He was a little worried that the first emperor had seen something, otherwise why did he suddenly think of showing him the memorials to impeach Zhao Ying, and asked him his opinion on these memorials for the first time.

And finally, that seemingly calm but murderous order.

All these made him a little terrified.

Hearing Hu's flustered question, Li Shiqi smiled.

"What did His Majesty say..."

"Your Majesty showed me the memorials to impeach Zhao Ying, and asked me how to deal with it if it is true..."

Listening to Hu Hai's narration, Li Shiqi glanced at this Mr. Daqin whom he had always looked down upon in surprise. Unexpectedly, he also knew some tricks of retreating to advance, which is really rare!

Lifting his eyelids slightly, he glanced at Hu Hai's still somewhat ugly face, speaking meaningfully.

"Young master, do you think that our actions can really be hidden from His Majesty?"

Hu Hai:! ! ! ! ! !

He looked at Li Shiqi in disbelief.

"Mr. Li, what do you mean by that?"

Seeing Hu Hai's shocked expression, Li Shiqi smiled, picked up the teapot with his own hands, and filled Hu Hai with a cup of tea.

"My lord, don't panic. You are powerful now. Among the government and the public, there are as many people who are willing to cling to you as crucian carp crossing the river. Your majesty knows it well. It is clear at a glance who made those memorials. How could your majesty not know? From the son's instruction—”

Hearing Li Shiqi's methodical analysis, Hu Hai couldn't help feeling even more flustered.

Therefore, Ah Weng knows all these little tricks he did!
Dog thief, hurt me——

He almost jumped up and turned his face.

"But so what—do you think His Majesty will be angry or blame you for this?"

Li Shiqi smiled, picked up the tea calmly, and took a sip.

Hu Hai couldn't help looking at him in surprise.

"Isn't it?"

"Of course, not only won't you, maybe you will appreciate it a little more..."

Li Shiqi put down his teacup and looked at Hu Hai seriously.

"My lord, if your Majesty must choose a prince among several lords, you think you will choose a scheming, rich man, who knows how to use the resources in your hands, eliminate dissidents, remove obstacles, and benefit yourself. I would still choose a young man with a simple mind, who would only wag his tail and beg for mercy in front of me, and try to please him..."

Hu Hai: ...

I always feel like you are connoting me!

However, at this time, he naturally couldn't care about pursuing these things, and his heart moved, and he was a little unsure of the authenticity.

"Could it be the former..."

Li Shiqi couldn't help stroking his beard and laughing.

"Of course! Kindness does not command soldiers, benevolence does not rule the government. If the prince of a country does not have some means, how can he defend such a huge empire? Don't worry, if you want you to cross the line, everything is still within the rules, Your Majesty You won’t be blaming him over there—if you can really beat that grandson of the emperor, His Majesty might be very pleased, and the position of crown prince won’t be suspended until now..."

Hu Hai couldn't help thinking.

"But I worry about that list..."

After pondering for a long time, Hu Hai felt a little uneasy.

Li Shiqi glanced at Hu Hai, who was still a little nervous, and tapped the table lightly.

"My lord, kindness doesn't lead soldiers. Sometimes, some sacrifices are still necessary—what are a few insignificant lives worth? I hope that His Majesty can kill more..."

Hu Hai raised his head suddenly, looked at Li Shiqi, who was calm and composed, his eyes flickered, and he remained silent.

In the afternoon of that day, more than [-] officials in the court were killed for the crime of dereliction of duty and corruption, and two more were murdered for the crime of colluding with the remnants of the six kingdoms and intending to subvert them. Except for Zhao Xie who was not in the house, he was almost swept away.

For a moment, in Xianyang City, people's heads were rolling, and the ground that had just snowed heavily was stained red with blood.

……

Outside Xianyang City.

Chen Yu opened his ears. He had already put on the coarse linen clothes of ordinary people, wrapped in a heavy bullshit overcoat, and pretended to be an ordinary merchant. He drove a dilapidated ox cart and left Xianyang leisurely.

On the bullock cart, it looks like ordinary merchants, there are some ordinary cloth and some hay for the livestock.

After walking dozens of miles out of Xianyang, the bullock cart stopped slowly when it reached an empty mountain depression.

After they jumped out of the bullock cart, the pile of hay sitting under them moved, and a pale middle-aged man crawled out of it.

If someone from the government was there, he would definitely be able to recognize the identity of this person. It is Zhao Xie, the remnant of Zhao's royal family that the government is currently investigating.

Zhao Xie looked back at the city of Xianyang, which had become almost invisible, and suddenly burst into tears.

There were almost tears in the eyes.

"Zhao Zheng, I swear against you!"

Just because I was in a daze for a while, I actually joined in the fun and followed suit, and imitated others, and let the two officials whom I paid a huge price to bribe to impeach the prosperous emperor's eldest grandson, but I didn't expect to pay such a heavy price.

Except for himself, his family was slaughtered, including his infant son.

Thinking of this, he felt as if his heart was being twisted like a knife, and his eyes were shattered.

"Young master, it's useless to be sad. The Great Qin Dynasty was brutal. The First Emperor failed to govern benevolently, and he will suffer retribution. Please take care of your health and wait for the future..."

Zhao Xie clenched his teeth, nodded with all his strength, and gave Chen Yu a deep salute.

"Everything depends on the two gentlemen! If there is a future, there will be a big reward..."

……

Zhao Ying didn't know about the disturbing stories behind it, and even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care.

Without him, just stick to your heart.

What's more, this world is the world of one's own family, and the people of this world are also the people of one's own family.Do you want to watch them freeze to death and starve to death, or they can't survive, and follow others to create their own rebellion?
Fortunately, the heavy snow stopped after three days.

Due to the timely relief from the imperial court, some charitable families also began to follow Zhao Ying's practice and began to open porridge sheds and send people to help the victims.

Wang Nan, the daughter-in-law of Tongwuhou's mansion, gathered a group of girlfriends to show up and organize disaster relief with Zhao Ying.

Therefore, although the heavy snow was heavy, it did not cause any serious damage near Xianyang.

This made Zhao Ying secretly relieved.

Although Zhao Ying did not pay attention to those behind-the-scenes attacks, the all-out disaster relief activities this time were not completely fruitless.

First of all, the two Ji Ziqin and Tian Jian of the Mohist school, as well as the Mohist children in the military camp, saw their eyes have changed. Not only did their eyes change, but they even became more serious and active in doing things.

In particular, Chu Moji Zitian Jian, who was still a bit pissed in his heart, completely let go of his thoughts. He not only went to the yamen to sit in the township, but also began to come out in person, calling on the Mohist apprentices from all over the world to follow His Highness the emperor's eldest grandson's orders, and rush to various places to do a good job in the Great Qin Dynasty. Storyteller!

Chun Yuyue also lost his former restraint, followed in Tian Jian's footsteps, and settled in the Jiangshan Sheji Division, formally took the post of Zuo Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and called on Confucian students from all over the world to go to various places to preach the Great Qin policy.

And the reputation of Yingren, the eldest grandson of the Great Qin Emperor, as a benevolent and loving man is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Xianyang, and with the Mohist and Confucian apprentices going to various places, it began to gradually expand outward.

These are of course something to say, he doesn't know.

What surprised him was that even the most difficult woman in the house, the tsundere girl Li Shu, who looked at him like an iceberg beauty, looked at him with a lot more friendliness recently.

However, this made him less fun.

If you do this, I'm not going to make fun of it. Hey——

It is worth mentioning that, on the contrary, it was Huang Shigong who lived in his house, who left as soon as the heavy snow stopped.His little female apprentice Xu Negative stayed behind for some unknown purpose.

Suddenly, he became a guest of his house.

Zhao Ying thought it was okay.

After all, in this era, divination is really prevalent. With such a well-known goddess stick as her platform, there is really a lot of room for manipulation in many things.

Seeing that everything was on the right track, Zhao Ying couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.Especially when the news of the show in Hedong County came back, he completely let go of his mind.

The batch of grain and grass he asked Sao to buy played a big role in this heavy snow.

Countless people in the east of the river were thus preserved.

He breathed a sigh of relief. These days, the officials responsible for recruiting the Fang family's warlocks could not help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Ouch, ancestor, your old man is free.

In just a few days, Xianyang Wei personally came forward to collect and arrest nearly 500 warlocks.

If you don't have time to talk to me again, don't say that the prison in the yamen can't fit anymore, even the treasury is almost exhausted...
