Chapter 801 Reasons for Not Surrendering
After the public trial, Qin An and others returned to the inn.
Zhao Jie did not go back, but went to arrange business matters.
The businessmen and some nobles who paid attention to Zhao Jie all sent people to follow him, and some nobles and businessmen even asked for a meeting in person, but Qin An would not care about these matters.
Wei Zheng saw that his younger brother Wei Qi was not killed, but was imprisoned for three years. He breathed a sigh of relief and showed gratitude to Qin An.
He ignored Wei Qi and went directly to the inn.
At first, he refused to see Qin An because of hatred, but today he met Qin An because of repaying his kindness.
For Wei Zheng, this means repaying kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred.
When Qin An and others returned to the inn, Wei Zheng also came back with them.
After returning to the inn, Meng Yi was the first to speak: "Sir, you are indeed kind. He gave such a light sentence to the assassin who killed you."
When Wei Zheng heard this, he frowned slightly and thought to himself, "Is this kid just willing to let Wei Qi die?"
Qin An immediately said: "This is not my kindness, but the kindness of the law. You used to be a court official and are familiar with the laws of the Qin Dynasty, but that was the previous Qin law.
You don't know much about the New Qin Law. It's not just you, but probably everyone in the world doesn't understand it either.
Only those who enforce the law and those who break the law will be familiar with the new laws.
I should suggest printing the new laws of Qin into a book, and then giving each person a copy. However, it is not practical to give one copy, but the printed book can be sold, and anyone who is interested can study it.
Because the law is not 100% perfect, there must be loopholes.
Even in the future, there will still be many people who study the law and eventually take advantage of loopholes in the law to commit evil.
We call such things sidekicks.
This kind of thing is on the edge of the law. You say it is a violation of the law, but it does not break the law. You say it is not a violation of the law, but it has something to do with the law. "
Meng Yi said: "In this case, arrest these people and beat them up to ensure that those who escape will not commit crimes again."
Gan Luo said: "Yes, such people are the most abominable. They are defying the law and deserve to die."
Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "Such a person deserves to die. Then shouldn't those who really break the law be quartered?"
Gan Luo frowned slightly, feeling that he, the left prime minister, had been provoked.
Qin An said: "That's right. We can only say that there are loopholes in our laws. Therefore, after the loopholes are discovered, they need to be repaired in a timely manner depending on whether the circumstances are serious.
Okay, now is not the time to talk about this. There are guests coming today. We should greet the guests first. "
Only then did everyone realize that Wei Zheng had also followed.
From the perspective of the imperial court, Wei Zheng was actually an ordinary citizen, and Ying Zheng had already demoted all members of the royal family to common people.
But in the eyes of the remnants of the Wei State, Wei Zheng is the King of Wei, because the anti-Qin forces need a leader, otherwise the anti-Qin forces will be nothing but scattered sand.
In fact, Wei Zheng was forcibly pushed out to be the King of Wei. Although he also wanted to be this Wei Zheng, he wanted to be the upright King of Wei rather than the remnant King of Wei.
When Wei Zheng saw that everyone was paying attention to him, he immediately stepped forward and saluted everyone and said, "Wei Zheng has met the Imperial Master and all of you."
Qin An smiled and said: "Wei Zheng, this is not the place to talk. Why not go to my room. Gao Yue, everyone, please come together."
The "everyone" mentioned by Qin An refers to Zhang Liang, Meng Yi and Gan Luo.
"Everything follows the emperor's master's arrangements." Wei Zheng said.
"You don't need to call me Imperial Master, just call me Sir." Qin An said.
"Sir." Wei Zheng immediately changed his mind.
Qin An was very satisfied with this and saw that Wei Zheng was a very decisive person.
Such a person is expected to do great things. If Wei Zheng were not called King Wei, if he did not live in a noble circle, if he knew that the people
suffering, then he may become Liu Bang's opponent.
Everyone quickly arrived at Qin An's room.
Everyone was sitting at the same table. There was a round table in the room, which was invented by Qin An, but there were many imitators, and the court had no control over this matter.
Because this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people.
Qin An poured a cup of tea for everyone. All the tea leaves and tea sets were brought by Qin An.
The purpose is to allow these tea sets to brew tea at all times. If the tea sets are soaked for a long time, tea scale will form. With tea scale, even if you don't make tea in the future, you can drink the taste of tea by pouring boiled water directly into it.
At the same time, Qin An himself can also drink tea at all times, killing two birds with one stone.
"Thank you, sir." Wei Zheng picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The taste was slightly bitter, then a little sweet. It was truly bitter first and then sweet. He immediately fell in love with this tea.
"I once passed through Xianyang City and heard about this tea, but I never had the chance to taste it.
I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to taste it today. Thank you so much, sir. Gao Yue on the side said.
Qin An smiled and said: "There is no way, the supply exceeds the demand, and every time there is something, it is robbed. But don't worry, I have been looking for new tea leaves all over the country. In less than ten years, everyone in the world will be able to drink tea."
Of course, the quality is different and the price is also different.
But now is not the time to talk about tea. Should we talk about the surrender of the anti-Qin forces in Wei? "
Everyone looked at Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, do you know why I am unwilling to surrender?"
"I believe it is because of the hatred of destroying the country." Qin An said, "To put it bluntly, you remnants of the Six Kingdoms are the royal families of the Six Kingdoms, or the anti-Qin forces composed of nobles and some ministers.
Your purpose is to restore the country and take revenge. As for other things, you have never thought about it. Qin An said.
"Yes." Wei Zheng replied, "I was elected as the King of Wei by everyone, and I was also the general of the Wei State and commanded the remaining troops.
The reason for doing this was to avenge the destruction of the country. When the Qin army flooded Daliang City, countless people in the city were drowned by the water, and there were sounds of mourning everywhere.
Now in Daliang City, not only me, but also countless people hate Da Qin very much. You ask me to surrender, but I still can't do it. "
Qin An sighed and said, "It's hard to talk about this, because it's the hatred of the country and the family. It's very selfish of me to ask you to surrender.
But as a person from later generations, I have to remind you, when will the injustice be repaid.
Although Qin destroyed six kingdoms and committed countless massacres.
However, from the more than a hundred princes in the Spring and Autumn Period, only seven were left in the end, and the Seven Kingdoms existed for more than two hundred years, which according to later generations should be two hundred and fifty-four years.
During this period, the wars between the seven kingdoms continued, and countless people died. Later generations could examine nearly two million people.
When it comes to hatred, there is actually hatred among the seven countries. But in the end, Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, and all the hatred was transferred to Qin. "
