Qin Hu

Chapter 127 All the same, all the same!

Zhao Zihu and his stinky younger brothers were ashamed, and they vomited so much that they could not wait to vomit their stomachs out.

But sadly, the execution has only just begun.

The grandfather Zong who was sentenced to five punishments was only the first, and there are more than a dozen people after him who will also receive the punishment of Dabi.

Well, it's still cut in half!

It's just that compared with the five punishments, there is no torture in the first four items...

In fact, the tragic situation is not much better...

Zhao Zihu and his stinky brothers couldn't stand it any longer, and just wanted to sneak away.

But Ying Zheng seemed to have been prepared for this. Zhang Han and several tall and strong guards pinched their noses at some point and blocked Zhao Zihu and the others who were vomiting profusely, blocking their escape route.

Ying Zheng obviously wanted to exercise his sons' endurance!

By the way, I would like to warn my sons, this is the end of unruly!
So, Zhao Zihu and his stinky brothers forced themselves to watch the entire execution.

After more than a dozen main criminals were cut in half by Da Pi, not many of the nearly one hundred accomplices under the execution platform were in good hands.

Meng Yi kept declaring crimes, declaring that one had a head cut off, even though they themselves had no major crimes, but their family members who were the principal offenders were even imprisoned.

In the end, only a few uninitiated young children and infants were left. Their fate was to be brought up in the hidden palace, and they would serve the royal family in the future and serve as slaves for life.

If you are lucky, you may be able to stand up like Zhao Gao and achieve a class transition, but the chances are very small...

Zhao Zihu and Brother Smelly vomited in the yamen's office, but the people outside the yamen's office were cheering loudly.

After the execution was over, Meng Yi collected the bamboo slips and pressed his hand to the countless people watching the execution.

The common people were deeply afraid of this Qin general who could decide life or death with one word. Seeing him pressing down his hands to signal silence, the cheering stopped almost instantly.

The children who followed the adults to watch the excitement, some who dared to play and cry, were also covered by the adults.

After a while, the government office fell into complete silence!

Meng Yi lifted his middle breath, and shouted loudly in a crappy Qidi voice: "His Majesty the First Emperor eradicates rape and evil, is it wise?"

The people were stunned, looking at each other in blank dismay.

Probably did not expect that Qin would come to ask such a question.

"Naturally wise!"

The boldest of the people answered with a loud voice.

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the people among the people answered one after another: "Wise...you are wise...if you keep doing things like this, who would dare to say that His Majesty the First Emperor is not wise..."

The voices gathered, and the common people bowed their hands in worship, and finally converged into one sentence: "His Majesty the First Emperor is wise~!!!"

Later, a servant from the government office came out, stepped onto the execution platform and whispered something in Meng Yi's ear.

Meng Yi nodded, and raised his hand again to press.

The common people knew that he was well-behaved, and they immediately silenced him.

Yingzheng's deep voice came from behind the curtain of the government office: "Under the Qin law, the common people should live and work in peace and contentment!"

The people were stunned again, and when they realized that it was the voice of the Supreme Under Heaven, they immediately bowed down like the wind blowing wheat waves: "Wei~!!!"

Meng Yi waved his hand, indicating that the people could leave, and then led the guards, got off the execution platform and went back to the Yamen Office for business.

As for the corpses on and off the execution platform, the county government servants collected them and threw them into mass graves outside the city for burial!

……

In the government office, Zhao Zihu managed to hold back his vomiting, but he almost threw up again because of the conversation between Meng Yi and the common people, Ying Zheng and the common people.

How bloody!
Ying Zheng had learned the evil tricks he used when dealing with Taishan Fengchan.

One point for doing, ten points for publicity!

Do [-] points, publicize [-] points!

Let’s not talk about whether he is really wise, let’s talk about establishing his image, as long as he firmly controls the position of public opinion, he is wise.

People who are blinded by the propaganda offensive will eventually think that he is wise!

After Meng Yi came in to pay his errand, a servant said to Ying Zheng, "It's already afternoon, does Your Majesty want to eat?"

Ying Zheng nodded lightly: "Yes."

The waiter bowed his hand and stepped back quickly.

Later, a large number of servants came in with meals to arrange for Ying Zheng and the officials.

"Zihu, come and eat with me."

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Zihu, who was pale from vomiting, and beckoned.

Zhao Zihu actually has no appetite, and just wants to take his stinky brothers out to breathe, but at the moment Yingzheng wants him to accompany him to eat, he can only agree: "Wei."

Then, he softly left his seat and knelt down beside Ying Zheng to accompany him.

Seeing his appearance, Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing, and pushed a bowl of stewed stew in front of Zhao Zihu in a wicked way: "Try it, my son, this is what the imperial chef learned from your two servants." Can I have a taste of the dishes?"

Zhao Zihu's mind is now full of the intestines of the main criminals who were cut in half. When he saw the boiled stew in the bowl, his Adam's apple suddenly surged: "Yue...I have eaten too much meat recently, so I can eat some green vegetables today... "

"Uh ha ha ha..."

Yingzheng's evil taste was satisfied, he plucked out his beard and laughed out loud, jokingly said: "Your son always gave people a sense of brutality in the past, why are you so cowardly today?"

Zhao Zihu pushed Luzhu back to him, dragged two lacquer plates of green vegetables to him, and said bitterly: "I have only seen today's tragedy in my life, shouldn't I be timid?"

"If you're not timid or cowardly, that's a bad thing..."

"That only shows that Erchen is a bloodthirsty lunatic!"

Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile when he heard that he was so righteous, and nodded, "This statement is not unreasonable..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly changed the subject: "Seeing today's tragedy, how do you feel?"

Zhao Zihu shook his head: "I don't have any thoughts, the tragedy is to frighten the latecomers, it is the meaning of the title, understandable."

"If I have to talk about my impressions, there are many accomplices. They are just sitting together. They don't have much guilt in themselves. It's a pity to kill them."

Ying Zheng froze for a moment, picked up the stew and cooked it, looked him up and down, frowned and said hesitantly, "My son thinks they have been wronged?"

There was Zhao Tuo, the traitor who betrayed the owner and begged for glory, and reported to him what happened around Zhao Zihu every day. Of course, Han Fei's debate with those Confucian scholars and doctors could not be hidden from him.

Zhao Zihu wanted to pick up what was ready-made, and use the results of the debate between Han Fei and a group of Confucian scholars to reform in the future, and Ying Zheng also knew about it.

In fact, when he asked Zhao Zihu what he thought, he just wanted to test Zhao Zihu's attitude towards the current Qin law and his preference for future reforms.

However, the results obtained made Yingzheng not very satisfied. It seemed that she was somewhat benevolent!
"I don't think they are wronged. Since I have enjoyed the wealth brought by evil, I should accept the consequences of evil..."

Zhao Zihu stuffed womb cabbage into his mouth and chewed, and suddenly felt that the light cooking of the pre-Qin period was actually quite good.

At least, it is very beneficial to eat at this moment.

The feeling of nausea in my heart has been suppressed a lot!
Zhao Zihu ate half a plate of green vegetables in one go. Seeing that Ying Zheng was still waiting for his next words, he said vaguely while eating, "So, they are not wronged. I just feel that it is a pity to kill them."

Ying Zheng suddenly understood what he meant, and said, "My son's intention is that he should not be killed, but should be punished separately?"

Zhao Zihu nodded: "Of course!"

"Isn't the Great Qin's frontier fortress under construction all the time? Isn't Chidao, and water conservancy ditches and dams under construction all the time?"

"If such criminals are all killed, it will be Daqin's loss. It is better to punish them as hard labor, let them atone for their sins, and create more value for Daqin!"

Ying Zheng said hesitantly: "I never thought about it, you are still a person who knows how to live, but you are good at budgeting."

Zhao Zihu smiled: "Actually, in my opinion, in addition to the death penalty, facial tattoos, and whipping, the punishment of beheading hands, feet, nose, and ears can all be abolished."

"According to the seriousness of the crime, a sentence of several years or more than ten years of hard labor is enough. They are really excellent labor!"

Ying Zheng nodded: "My son has the same opinion as Wei's father. In the future, they can open up the land of Baiyue in the south and the land outside the Great Wall in the northwest. They can also be the first to go there."

Zhao Zihu saw that he could draw inferences from one instance, so he became interested: "Yes, wherever the prisoners need them, they can be distributed wherever they are needed. It is extremely useful."

"It's a pity to simply kill him!"

"Take the hundreds of accomplices just now as an example. They can form a small village if they are sent to Baiyue in the south, and they can form a small tribe if they are sent to the Northwest Great Wall."

"Even if they don't directly pardon their sins, they can still make meritorious deeds. Why kill them all?"

"My son just looked at it, and my heart is bleeding from pain!"

The military merit system of the Qin Dynasty has a clear statement that military merit and titles can offset many crimes.

Even if you are a slave, as long as there is beheading, you can turn over.

The most intuitive example is that Zhang Han led the Lishan prisoners and almost put down the rebels of the Six Kingdoms.

Why are those Lishan prisoners willing to sacrifice their lives for the crumbling Daqin?

Without him, military merit Jueer!
As long as they are given a chance, the poorer the lower class and the more hopeless prisoner, the more powerful they will be able to unleash their fighting power.

Later generations say that a bicycle can be changed into a motorcycle with a single stroke, and the military merit system is that a bicycle can be transformed into a BMW with a single stroke, and become a master in one fell swoop.

Who doesn't work hard? !
"I heard that there are two groups of Confucian scholars and doctors in your place every day, arguing endlessly around [If the Qin law is changed, how should it be changed], has the debate come to fruition?"

Ying Zheng asked tentatively.

Judging from the small reports delivered by Zhao Tuo every day, in fact, two groups of Confucian scholars have already debated a general idea.

He was very surprised, why didn't Zhao Zihu take out the results of the debate and share them with him, or let him refer directly to promote the reform!

Zhao Zihu shook his head and said: "There is no result yet, and there is no one who wins or loses."

"Only who wins more and who wins less!"

Ying Zheng raised his thick eyebrows and asked, "Who wins more? Who wins less?"

Zhao Zihu didn't hide anything, and said bluntly: "Xunzi won more by combining etiquette and law, but less by Confucius and Mencius' benevolence and righteousness."

"What I mean is that I want them to sort out all the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, and there will be a conclusion on whether to change them or not."

"At this stage, there is still a long way to go!"

Ying Zheng suddenly nodded his head, but then frowned and said angrily, "You love to let them argue, isn't it a pleasure to skip class?"

In fact, not only Ying Zheng could see that Zhao Zihu skipped class to hide his leisure time, but Han Fei and all the Confucian scholars could also see it.

It's just that this thing belongs to a conspiracy, and the debate has already started, and no one wants to back down and admit defeat, so they can only fight to the end.

Anyway, even if they didn't argue, Zhao Zihu wouldn't go to class well, and there were always various ways to escape.

It's better to take advantage of the name of class and do something they like to do, so Zhao Zihu is happy, and they are happy too, the best of both worlds!

"I misunderstood my father's words. I really don't agree with you. You masters debate every day, and I listen to you every day. You can learn a lot. How can you say skipping class?"

Zhao Zihu retorted righteously, and said solemnly: "Your minister even asked the servant to help me, and took a lot of notes, enough to fill a car, how can you say that you are skipping class?"

Ying Zheng said quietly: "Why did you ask the servant to take notes? Why didn't you take notes yourself?"

Kill with one hit!

Zhao Zihu rolled his eyes instantly in choking, it's getting harder and harder to be fooled...

"All the same, all the same."

Zhao Zihu smiled awkwardly, changed the subject and said, "Do you want to see the notes of my son?"

It was his words that Ying Zheng was waiting for, and he really attracted his attention. He nodded heavily and said, "Shan, I will send it to my father's car later. My father wants to see what you have learned."

Zhao Zihu bowed his hands: "Wei."

……

……

After a meal, Zhao Zihu and his stinky brothers were finally relieved and escaped from the government office as if they had been pardoned.

"Are you still wandering around the city?"

Zhao Zihu looked at the stinky younger brothers who were still pale and asked.

Hu Hai was the first to shake his head, shaking his head like a rattle: "I won't go shopping anymore, I won't go shopping anymore, it's better to go out of town less in the future, so as not to cause trouble."

He was obviously frightened by the grandfather Zong who was sentenced to five punishments. He was afraid that something would happen and he would be punished by Ying Zheng.

I'm afraid the future will be honest for a long time!

"Yes, what Brother Yao said is right... From now on, when Father's royal driver enters the town, we will continue to hunt around as usual... If you enter the town and cause trouble, Father will definitely punish you..."

It was obvious that Hu Hai was not the only one who was frightened by that grandpa Zong, and the other stinky younger brothers also agreed with Hu Hai's words.

Zhao Zihu smiled again and said distressedly: "Actually, you don't have to be so afraid. Compared with the nobles and common people, we are already considered lucky."

"At least, even if you really made a mistake, as long as it is not a serious crime of disobedience, the emperor will protect you and will not really kill you."

"What a blessing to be born in the emperor's family!"

Hu Hai curled his lips, and said resentfully: "It would be a blessing if I was born in the emperor's family a hundred years earlier. When I landed, I would have a title and a fief."

"Wouldn't it be a hundred times better than being able to serve as a noble minister now?"

Zhao Zihu raised his hand and gave him a slap in the face, he couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Just based on your words, there will be no chance to fight for the second emperor's seat in the future. Father is the most tired of being divided!"
