Da Qin: Rebuked the dissatisfied ministers, held the sword towards the emperor at the beginning

Chapter 134 Kill!Rivers of blood flow...

The location of the enemy attack is very tricky.

It was chosen on a wooden bridge.

When Queen Mother Zhao Ji's Luan Jia and the leading captain's army crossed the bridge, the assassins disguised as traders immediately started setting fire.

With the raging fire, it directly blocked the large number of accompanying captains behind.

Simultaneously.

The carriages of the eldest princess Ying Yinman and Tu Jinxuan were also separated on the other side of the wooden bridge.

The good news is...

At this moment, Yin Lie was next to the Queen Mother Zhao Jiluanjia.

Although there are many assassins.

But since their goal is to kidnap the Queen Mother Zhao Ji, Yin Lie does not need to be too distracted to protect the Queen Mother's safety.

otherwise.

If the assassin comes up with a big hammer or something and directly overturns Zhao Ji's frame, things will indeed become very troublesome.

At this time.

"Release the arrow! Release the arrow!"

"Just hang on to those Qin dogs!"

"Go around, go around!"

……

The assassins divided their labors and cooperated, and some of them entangled the leading captain and could not escape.

After that, they quickly tried to outflank Queen Mother Zhao Ji's carriage from both sides.

"Oh!"

Yin Lie stepped on the ground.

The whole person rushed out with great strength!
He took the lead on the spot!
"Oh!"

Kill an assassin with one punch!
Yin Lie succeeded in taking the lead!
next moment!
He jumped on the carriage and took the Queen Mother Zhao Ji to break out first.

Although the Queen Mother Luan Jia is not in the style of a battlefield chariot.

But after starting to speed up.

Especially under Yin Lie's control, the front is destined to be unstoppable.

at the same time.

In the dense forest on the outskirts.

Nearly a hundred Black Ice Guards arranged by Yin Lie in advance, led by two captains, quickly formed a counter-encirclement against the assassins.

Yin Lie couldn't let Queen Mother Zhao Ji become a hostage anyway.

The goal of his breakthrough is...

Ensure absolute control of the situation.

suddenly.

"It's hit!"

"withdraw!"

"Into the water, in the water!"

The assassins all wanted to jump into the water and escape.

Unfortunately.

The river on the outskirts of Yongcheng is not very wide at all. No matter how good they are at water, they are destined to be unable to escape from Yin Lie's palm.

more importantly……

Nearly a hundred Black Ice Guards were not wearing armor today.

The assassin dives.

The Black Ice Guard followed closely behind.

Without a trace of hesitation.

The captains of the army could only stand on the shore to assist in the capture.

Because they are all covered in heavy armor, entering the water is a surefire way to die, because the armor will drag the water to the bottom of the river until they are suffocated to death.

that's it.

The assassination episode ended quickly.

Queen Mother Zhao Ji's mood was not affected. She still wanted to visit Yongcheng as planned.

however.

Just in case.

Yin Lie still advised the Queen Mother to eat whatever she wanted. She could directly ask the Black Ice Guards to buy it, and she would also have to go through layers of work such as poison testing.

no way.

As a native of Zhao, Zhao Ji loves the local side dishes of her hometown Handan. This news has obviously been discovered by some remnants of the empire.

in such circumstances.

Zhao Ji must be careful about what she puts in her mouth.

Suppose Zhao Ji is poisoned with no cure.

Only the Assassin has the antidote.

Then things will also become very troublesome.

and so.

The eating habits of Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji must be paid special attention to.

Especially the First Emperor...

Ying Zheng is never picky about food. He usually only takes one or two bites of each item, never a third bite.

Just so that I don’t reveal my eating preferences.

Ying Zheng paid such attention in the palace.

On the other hand, Queen Mother Zhao Ji...

It's actually a little too willful.

But this is indeed very consistent with Zhao Ji's character.

She is such a person.

There is no so-called big picture in mind.

Zhao Ji is an out-and-out little woman who only cares about her own emotions, whether she likes it or not, whether she is happy or not.

So people like Zhao Ji, if they are born into a wealthy family, are often very good.

But she happened to be the Queen Mother of Qin.

This also gave the impeccable Ying Zheng an additional weakness.

Simultaneously.

Due to some unpleasant things in the past, the relationship between Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji was very tense.

Then this weakness develops into a fatal level...

Fortunately.

Yin Lie blocked all unfavorable factors in advance.

……

at dusk.

Queen Mother Luanjia rushed back to Xianyang.

Zhao Ji was very happy. She said: "Qin Yucheng, you are indeed the most famous person before the emperor as they say. You are both civil and military. I feel very relieved to have you protecting me today."

Zhao Ji's impression of Yin Lie soared sharply.

Yin Lie, as usual, bowed his hands and said a few words of modesty.

Followed by.

Zhao Ji gave her a royal reward, a very precious gold-patterned belt.

In fact, Zhao Ji originally wanted to give Yin Lie a jade belt.

But Yin Lie declined.

the reason is simple.

The jade belt is a special thing for the emperor and the prince. If Yin Lie accepted the jade belt, it would be a serious violation of etiquette.

Yin Lie didn't want to cause any more trouble for himself. He had made enough enemies now, and he should really be appropriately low-key in his clothing.

Some people may say that if you have too many lice, you don’t have to worry about being bitten, and if you have too many debts, you don’t have to worry about them…

But the etiquette thing is very sensitive.

Ordinary people may think that a small and unintentional act of transgression can be corrected as long as it is corrected.

What kind of serious crime can it be?
however.

The fact is...

Transgressing the rules of the emperor and the prince is essentially the same as treason.

For example, the three-piece suit of rebellion in later generations: enter the court without following, praise and worship without fame, and go to the palace with swords and shoes.

Then this is a typical step-by-step violation of the bottom line of etiquette.

This is also an unpardonable sin!
Especially under the royal city.

Transgressing the rules of etiquette and law!

It is tantamount to provoking the imperial power...

It's like stealing something in front of the police. If not, who will arrest you?
finally.

Yin Lie took away the gold-patterned belt and immediately wrapped it around his waist.

Queen Mother Zhao Ji was very happy to see this.

Yin Lie also made a request by the way, that is, in the subsequent court meeting, he hopes that Zhao Ji can also go to court.

Zhao Ji immediately understood what Yin Lie meant.

She's not very smart, but she's not too stupid either.

previous years.

Lu Buwei occasionally asked Zhao Ji to go to court. Basically every time, Lu Buwei promulgated a new law and hundreds of officials objected, but Zhao Ji spoke up and supported it.

At that time, according to the rules of the Queen Mother ruling the country and the Prime Minister governing the country, as long as Zhao Ji and Prime Minister Lu jointly finalized matters at the court, even the rebuttals of the officials were of little use.

of course.

Now, due to various incidents and the fact that the First Emperor was personally in charge of the dynasty, Zhao Ji's prestige was not much left.

but……

Zhao Ji is the Queen Mother after all.

As long as she expresses her position, it will be a kind of political support for Yin Lie.

This is what Yin Lie really needs.

"Everything is based on what Qin Yucheng said."

No matter how pleasing Zhao Ji is to Yin Lie now, naturally her attitude is responsive and obedient.

Immediately afterwards.The Queen Mother returns to the palace.

Yin Lie rushed to Zhangtai Hall to report the attack on the Queen Mother Bingming.

immediately.

The civil and military factions in Guanzhong also quickly began to invade the palace to cause trouble.

The attitude of the civil and military factions in Guanzhong is very simple. The Central Plains scholar class was dissatisfied with the migration system of the Qin Dynasty and carried out this rebellious move.

First of all, the court needs assassins to impose capital punishment and kill chickens to scare monkeys.

Simultaneously.

Regarding the details of the migration system, for example, the compensation for the migration of officials from the Central Plains was cut in half from the original amount.

Ying Zheng agreed.

Also.

There are also some radicals who want to use the attack on the Queen Mother to directly stop the migration system and instead carry out implicated purges in the Central Plains.

Naturally, Ying Zheng did not agree.

When the Queen Mother was attacked, the imperial court should take a stand and punish the entire Central Plains gentry class. The most direct way was to impose fines.

Immediately.

It can also fill the national treasury.

Of course.

The criminal mastermind must be investigated to the end.

Right Prime Minister Wang Wan proposed that as long as the family responsible for the crime is found out, all of them will be slaughtered without mercy, in order to shock the world!
Ying Zheng agreed.

When the Queen Mother is assassinated, murder will definitely be carried out. Even if the millions of Central Plains officials are not involved in a general purge, those families who are directly related to the perpetrators will definitely be annihilated according to law!

This matter is still handled by Yin Lie.

Also.

This time when the Queen Mother traveled, the person who was mainly responsible for escorting her was not Yin Lie, but the commander of the Du Wei Army.

and so.

Ying Zheng directly dismissed the commander of the captain's army from his post. This time, all the captain's soldiers who accompanied him were held accountable!

The nearly one hundred Black Ice Guards on the Black Ice Platform will be rewarded for their meritorious service.

After all the dust settles.

It's time to night.

Yin Lie still followed the old routine and handed over all the assassins who were captured alive to the master of Yin Yang and the third captain of the Black Ice Platform...

This third lieutenant is a specialist in torture.

Anyway, the interrogation process is...

The Third Lieutenant performs physical torture.

Onmyoji masters perform mental torture.

In the end, all it takes is for the assassin to breathe, and then a public judgment can be held.

no doubt.

Just one night passed.

All the causes and consequences of the attack on the Queen Mother were now clear.

The general process is...

The Qu, Jing, and Zhao tribes of the original Chu State were extremely dissatisfied with the empire's migration system. They wanted to take the Queen Mother Zhao Ji hostage and proposed a strategy of territorial autonomy.

To put it bluntly...

The three tribes of Qu, Jing and Zhao still want to continue to be their Qianlihou in the local area and delimit the territory!

They used the name of Queen Mother Zhao Ji to force Ying Zheng to commit a crime...

this way.

He is indeed a thief and very good at taking advantage of loopholes.

If there was no Yin Lie...

Regardless of whether the Qu, Jing, and Zhao clans will succeed, at least Queen Mother Zhao Ji will definitely be in great danger this time.

Fortunately, Yin Lie is accompanying him...

Subvert this conspiracy directly.

Simultaneously.

It also brought a devastating disaster to the Qu, Jing, and Zhao tribes in Chu.

Well known.

Qu, Jing, and Zhao are the undisputed powerful families in the Chu land. Even the Chu royal family, the Xiong family, cannot be compared with the Qu, Jing, and Zhao families in terms of power.

This is also the reason why they extremely reject the county system...

Anyway, talk about it.

Qu, Jing, and Zhao just didn't want to agree with the county system and were even more resistant to the migration system. They took desperate measures and still wanted to use force to achieve the purpose of restarting the feudal system.

That is to say, the First Emperor gave them local autonomy, and all officials such as county guards and county magistrates were abolished.

They will still recognize the Qin court and submit tributes every year...

No matter what.

Qu, Jing, and Zhao's ideas are tantamount to idiots talking about dreams and unable to see the reality clearly.

then.

Ying Zheng ordered the veteran general Hegong to mobilize [-] Guanzhong warriors from the Lantian Camp and march to Chu Dinan County.

The local garrison of Nanjun County Sheriff also cooperated with all military operations of Duke Lu!
With the emperor's edict, Duke Heng has only one goal!
That means it doesn’t matter what the Yi tribe is or the Yi tribe.

As long as they are from the three tribes of Qu, Jing and Zhao.

No matter how distant a relative is...

As long as they are close to each other, kill them all!
That's right!

is all...

This is equivalent to washing all the nobles of Chu with blood!
In the Chu region, as long as they were nobles, they were basically related to the Qu, Jing, and Zhao clans.

Or they are marrying distant relatives, disciples, old officials, etc.

It’s all one word anyway!

kill!

Naturally, some of the Chu nobles resisted, while others fled...

Leave aside those who escaped.

Given the size of the Central Plains.

It's really hard to find someone who's hiding...

But those Chu nobles who wanted to resist did not matter whether they were from the Qu, Jing, or Zhao clans, or from other families.

The Qin army will break through it and massacre it!
Followed by.

Duke Heng asked the First Emperor for instructions again...

The general idea is that there are people in Dongjun County of Wei, Langya County of Qi, and Yingchuan County of Han who are protecting the remnants of the nobles of Qu, Jing, and Zhao!
Duke Heng hopes that the emperor will agree to expand the scope of the search. Anyone who is caught harboring the crimes of Qu, Jing, and Zhao will be killed without mercy!

Ying Zheng... did not agree!
Duke Hui's actions in Chu were obviously quite extreme.

Although Ying Zheng wants this effect.

Dare to assassinate the Queen Mother of Qin!

If Ying Zheng does not use some bloody methods, then where will the majesty of the First Emperor remain?
Where does the majesty of Da Qin exist?

therefore.

Just go through the bloody massacre in Chu land and establish your authority.

If you follow Mr. He's advice...

If the killing continues to spread, the follow-up will inevitably become like this. Even though Ying Zheng did not agree to massacre millions of officials in the Central Plains, things still ended up like that.

Obviously.

Hegong also belongs to the standard Qin radical faction.

Although Tu Ju and others are dead.

However, the hegemonic Qin militarism still had Duke Hui carrying the banner and the national advisor Wei Liaozi taking the nominal lead.

And because of the deaths of Tu Ju and others, Duke Heng had obviously been depressed for a very long time.

Now it's easy to wait for the opportunity for the Queen Mother to be attacked!
Then he must not use the topic to expand the scope of the bloodbath.

Fortunately.

Ying Zheng stopped it in time.

Subsequently, Duke Hui was transferred back.

Meng Wu went to Chudi to take over the specific finishing matters.

Yin Lie expressed this...

He felt a little helpless for no reason.

Although he has worked very hard to promote the connection between Guanzhong and the Central Plains from all dimensions through various policy methods.

but……

It's really hard.

For example, when the Queen Mother was attacked, according to Yin Lie's suggestion, the best way for Ying Zheng to deal with the situation was to just annihilate the Qu, Jing, and Zhao clans, which would also have the effect of establishing authority.

Ying Zheng did arrange it this way at that time.

But Ying Zheng sent Duke Hui to carry out the matter...

no doubt!

Although the mother-son relationship between Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji is extremely stiff and estranged.

But Zhao Ji is Ying Zheng’s biological mother after all!
Someone actually had an idea for Zhao Ji...

This obviously touched Ying Zheng's absolute strength!

As a result, events began to go beyond Yin Lie's control.

Tu Ju takes action...

Rivers of blood flowed from the Chu land!
……

One morning.

The grand meeting officially began.

In front of Xianyang Palace.

Wei Liaozi and Yin Lie entered the palace side by side.

Wei Liaozi was the first to send a message: "Qin Yucheng, you want to save the Queen Mother, and your decision to break the deadlock is very wise... It's a pity that you underestimated the hatred between Guanzhong and the Central Plains! Even if you successfully proposed it now It seems that the measures to reform the official system are meaningless!”

Yin Lie said calmly: "Do your best and obey fate. You must give it a try!"

Hearing this, Wei Liaozi smiled incredulously and said, "I'm going to see Qin Yucheng's lofty views today, and see if you can reverse the trend of Heaven's Dao in one fell swoop!"

Yin Lie: "..."
