Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 300 Chu Army Enters the Pass (2)

"You two lovers, please get up quickly!" Ziying raised his hand to help.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Feng Jie and Sima Cong thanked each other again, got up to receive the imperial edict and returned to the train.

The servant took another imperial decree in his hand and began to read: "Emperor's edict: Yulin Military Academy Lieutenant Qingxi is extraordinary in martial arts... Captain Xu Shun, conscientious and hardworking... Captain Wu Hua, brave and resourceful... …………… The three of them were not afraid of danger when they killed Zhao Gao………… Today, Feng Qingxi is the general of Yubayashi Zhonglang, in charge of the Yubayashi army! Xu Shun is the general of Huqi Zhonglang, in charge of the Huqi outside the city Battalion! Wu Hua is the general of the Forbidden Army, in charge of the Forbidden Army!"

"The last general, Qingxi (Xu Shun, Wu Hua)! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" The three Qingxi immediately got up and came out to bow their heads.

Yan Le was secretly happy when he saw that the three generals under him were all awarded the title.

After the three of Qingxi returned to the train, the servant took another imperial decree and read it out: "The emperor's decree said: Lieutenant Lu Ru and General Liang Xu of Wuguan Zhonglang can abandon the dark and turn to the bright after Zhao Gao was punished... …………… But the two of them helped Zhao Ni in the past…………………………………………………………………………………… ………………… I love it!”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Ru and Liang Xu hurriedly received orders to express their gratitude, for fear that Ziying would change his mind.

Lu Ru and Liang Xu did not stop Yan Le and Han Yu from taking over the troops, just to survive Zhao Gao's death.Although he has been demoted now, he is still alive and still an official of the court.

"How could Your Majesty forgive these two people?" Yan Le, who was kneeling with Han Yu, was very puzzled, and asked in a low voice.

Before he could speak Korean, Tan Ling replied softly, "Your Majesty is trying to appease those officials who are attached to Zhao Gao but not guilty of death!"

"Extremely!" Han Yu nodded after hearing this, and then sighed with some helplessness: "There are not so many officials in our Great Qin who can take over the positions of these people, and His Majesty has no choice but to take it lightly!"

"Otherwise the court will be unstable, how can we fight against the Kwantung rebels?"

"That's the way it is!" Tan Ling nodded, pretending to be helpless.

But Yan Le was secretly pleased that these people who were attached to Zhao Gao were not dismissed, and they will return to find their closest relatives to be party members.And I, the son-in-law of Zhao Gao and the Taiwei of the current dynasty, will definitely become the leader of these people, and will become the most prominent courtier of the Qin Dynasty in the future.

Just as Yan Le was fantasizing about becoming an important minister of the Qin State in the future, Tan Ling sneered inwardly as he looked at Ziying, who was full of civil and military affairs in the court, and who was sitting above him.

Qin Xiong had someone send back the news that Hangu Pass had been taken over by the Chu army at this time, and General Xiang Yu of Chu State was leading most of Chu's troops to Hangu Pass.

Five or six million soldiers and horses!Even if the people in the Qin Dynasty in Guanzhong were exhausted, not many people could be recruited for a while, and Tan Ling could already foresee the scene of Ziying's entire country surrendering.

After Lu Ru and Liang Xu returned to court, Ziying suddenly stood up, the crown on his head shaking violently.Looking at the next group of courtiers, Ziying felt a little helpless, but still said: "After investigation, Zhao Gao and his henchmen have all been arrested! The rest are all coerced by Zhao Gao, so they can avoid the death penalty! But Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped, Feng Xiangguo, Yan Taiwei, and Han Weiwei will jointly conduct an investigation immediately, and all of them will be demoted, transferred, or demoted to civilians and will never be hired!"

"Your honorable minister!" Feng Jie took the lead, Yan Le and Han Yu came out together and clapped their hands.

"The three lovers are all important ministers in the court, and they still need to think carefully!" Ziying sat down again, and then encouraged her softly.

Feng Jie, a veteran minister of the three dynasties, guessed the meaning from Ziying's current situation, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "I know!"

"Your servant knows!" Yan Le and Han Yu looked at each other and replied with cupped hands.

Ziying nodded and waved his hand to signal the three of them to return to the court.

At this time, the servant took out an imperial edict and was about to read it out.And sharp-eyed people could see that the jade plate on which the imperial decree was placed was empty, so this was the last imperial decree that Ziying read out in the court hall.

At first, everyone thought it was an edict to confer beauties in the harem, but they never thought it was, but after the servant read it out, everyone was stunned.

"The emperor's edict said: In the past, when the first emperor ......... The second emperor was deceived by Zhao Gao ... and caused the royal family's children to suffer... ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. The eldest son, Ying Fusu, became King Wuxian, and he entered the Taimiao... The youngest son, Ying Gao, became the Duke of Yong... ……………… I love it!”

When the imperial decree was read out, Han Yu, who was born as a Confucian scholar, stood up and went out of the imperial court and said to Ziying: "Your Majesty wants to chase after the eldest son of the first emperor, but you can't deserve him to enjoy the Taimiao! This is not in line with etiquette! Please also, Your Majesty." Take it back, otherwise the people of the world will follow suit! Your Majesty will also be criticized by future generations for this!"

"Admonishing the doctor is too preposterous! In the past, the ancient kings of the Qin Dynasty still allowed those who made great contributions to Qin to enjoy the Taimiao. Now that His Majesty is the master of the world, why can't his father and son be entitled to the Taimiao?" Yan Lejian Ziying's face was a little gloomy after Han Yu finished speaking, and he immediately got up to refute Han Yu, trying to save this old Confucian who didn't understand the world.

Hearing Yan Lezhi's words, Ziying's expression brightened a little.

After finishing speaking, Yan Le immediately winked at Han Yu, trying to make him admit his mistake and step down.

But Han Yu didn't understand Yan Le's meaning, and immediately retorted again: "The First Emperor's abolishment of the Jiuli Law has already caused a lot of discussion in the world. Now His Majesty is ignoring the Rites like the First Emperor, fearing that the world will laugh at His Majesty! The old minister once again begs His Majesty to take back the order of allowing the eldest son Fusu to enjoy the Taimiao!"

When Ziying heard Han Yu's words, his originally pretty face was very angry.But thinking that it was his first time presiding over a court meeting, and that he had just ascended the throne, it was difficult for him to have a seizure, so he had to get up and leave in a huff.

Seeing this, the servant at the side immediately said loudly: "Retire!"

Then hurriedly followed Ziying out of the Tai Chi Hall, waiting for Ziying's orders while following.

In the Tai Chi Hall, Feng Jie and Sima Cong shook their heads helplessly when they saw Han Yu who was sluggish in the hall, then got up and left.

The courtiers stayed away from Han Yu one after another, and started chasing Feng Jie and Sima Cong to make them familiar.

Han Yu and Yan Le saw the courtiers leaving one after another, so they also got up and walked towards Han Yu.

"My doctor Han! How can you oppose your majesty when your majesty is in high spirits? Doesn't this make your majesty dislike you? How else are you going to restore Confucianism to its peak before the first emperor?" Yan Le complained to Han Yu , and questioned.

"The prosperity of Confucianism depends on the etiquette. If it is the etiquette, you don't have to respect it! How can you talk about the prosperity of Confucianism?" Han Yu turned around and refuted Yan Le.

"If Confucianism is full of people like you, Dr. Han, it seems that there is no hope of returning to its peak before the first emperor!" Yan Le shook his head and sneered.

"You!" Hearing this, Han Yu pointed at Yan Le and didn't know what to say.He had no choice but to flick his sleeves to signal that he was very dissatisfied, then looked at Yan Le and asked him to explain.
