"That's Lord Shang. He chose death himself. He decided to die if he didn't kill us. He said it himself, with the strictness of the criminal law, he established the authority of kingly law! The kingly law should be carried out, and tyranny should be used to stop the chaos of the party. This should be shown to the world. The car is broken. Yu Shi! All this is Lord Shang’s own choice. He wants to decide the law of Qin with his death, so why can’t I allow it!”
Ying Si looked at Shang Yang and said.
"You never thought about keeping him?"
Zhuo Qun looked at Ying Si passing by and said.
"I never thought that I am not on good terms with him. His being punished can only be good for me, not harmful."
Ying Si said with dull eyes.
He was telling the truth. Shang Yang's power had threatened him. Ying Si did not have the prestige of his father. He could not suppress Shang Yang. He was even a little afraid of Shang Yang, so he agreed with Shang Yang's ten deadly sins. Although he He also knew that it was all nonsense, but he admitted those crimes because Shang Yang's death would only benefit him.
One of the biggest advantages is that rewards and punishments come from the king, which is very beneficial to the establishment of his authority.
"Let's go and see how Shang Yang died."
Zhuo Qun looked at Ying Quliang and said.
Ying Quliang is still a little bit behind the conversation between Shang Yang and Ying Si. He also knows that Shang Yang has too much power at this time and should die, but he also feels that the world has changed and Shang Yang can survive. Why? He just chose to die, which he couldn't accept.
When he heard Zhuo Qun's words, he followed Zhuo Qun silently, and the two of them arrived at the execution ground under the leadership of Ying Si.
The place was already surrounded by people. Everyone looked at Shang Yang. No one said that he did not deserve to die. Everyone looked forward to his death.
This is because Shang Yang's law contains a joint law. Originally, the joint law was a law to reduce the country's crime rate, but because it included a provision for reward for reporting, it directly defrauded many good people.
At that time, Shang Yang's reform clearly stipulated that anyone who knew that a relative or friend had committed a crime but did not report it would be considered guilty, and those who reported it could be rewarded. In this way, the common people were living under surveillance of each other. At the same time, there were many bad people who framed others while reporting, and many good people were killed at that time. In short, this cheating law made all the people hate Shang Yang.
Now that it was known that he was going to be killed, everyone who could come came, and everyone came to watch, including the old and the young.
After arriving at the execution ground, Shang Yang lay down on the middle table. Ropes were tied around his neck and limbs. He lay there and looked at the sky. It was winter at this time, and murders were all done in autumn and winter. season.
In autumn and winter, everyone has free time in the agricultural world. Execution of some prisoners at this time can shock the people. At the same time, it also tells the people not to touch the law. Once they touch the law, they will be punished. Some punishment.
Another point is to comply with the weather. Autumn and winter are the main seasons. Among the four seasons, spring and summer are the seasons for the growth of all things. Autumn and winter are the seasons for killing and hibernation. This is the order and law of the universe. Therefore, human justice should also adapt to the will of God. , in accordance with the four seasons.
Now Shang Yang's mind is recalling the scene when he killed someone. It seemed like there was still snow falling at that time, but I don't know if it will snow now. Killing people in the snow, the plain white with a little bit of bright red, is really beautiful. view.
Just when Shang Yang was thinking this, clouds of snowflakes were already falling from the sky.
Zhuo Qun stretched out his hand to catch a ball of snowflakes. It was so soft that it melted as soon as he touched his hand.
Looking at Xiang Yu next to him, Zhuo Qun said: "Such a beautiful snow scene has not been seen in the main world for many years. It is such a good snow!"
"The snow in the main world now is just individual ice crystals. Where can such clumps of snowflakes fall? Even the polar regions cannot see such good snow."
Xiang Yu also reached out and touched the snowflakes. When he was a child, he could still see such snowflakes, but in the past twenty years, such snowflakes have been invisible.
"It's snowing."
Shang Yang looked at the snowflakes falling on his face and said.
Then I couldn't say anything, because at this time, the five four-horse carriages were already moving, and the rope on the ground was already straighter than the pull. Shang Yang's face was a little red at this time, and he couldn't say anything. .
Afterwards, as the charioteer kept waving his whip and beating the horses, everyone could see that Shang Yang's limbs were stretched bit by bit, and the rope around Shang Yang's neck was tightened bit by bit. .
Then as the five carriages advanced, Shang Yang's body deformed little by little, and the sound of tearing began to appear.
Finally, the five carriages suddenly started running fast, and Shang Yang's body became six parts. His limbs and torso were separated, and his neck was broken.
Blood was spilled all the way and then covered by the falling snow.
"Well done, sir!"
At this time, Ying Si picked up the wine bottle and drank a glass of wine, then put the wine bottle down heavily.
Then he looked at those people who cheered Shang Yang's death, stood up, and shouted loudly: "Death to Shang Yang! Qin Falu!"
After saying this, he left the execution ground directly without any intention of stopping, leaving no one reacting.
At this time, Ying Si wants to go to the main world to have a look. When he comes back, Lao Qianlong should be on his way.
Ying Si left, but the expressions of those who stayed changed. They all felt that Qin Fa should be removed after Shang Yang died, because isn't it normal for people to die and for political power to rest?
Why did people die and the government survive here? This is something that the Lao Qianlong and Mengxi tribes cannot accept, especially the Meng tribe. You must know that among the Mengxi Bai tribe in Xi County of the Lao Qin people, Meng Mingshi The remaining Meng clan used to be the pillar family of the Qin State. Their family produced the largest number of soldiers, and they also had the privilege of giving priority to merit evaluation. The most important thing is that their family members are nobles as soon as they come out, no matter how well they do outside. Well, during the war, they will judge the merits and award them whether they work hard or not.
But after Shang Yang's reform, all these benefits were gone, which made them intolerable. They couldn't bear the decline of their family.
But these people will not look for reasons in themselves. They only see that their privileges have disappeared and their families are declining. As for the reason, it is because of Shang Yang. Originally, they thought that if Shang Yang died, they could return to the old system. But now, But they found that there was another roadblock in front of them.
They decided to work together to remove this roadblock. It happened that Ying Si also thought they were a roadblock and planned to remove them.
Both sides are making preparations now, but the preparations made by Qianlong and the old nobles are all arranged by Ying Si.
He promised Shang Yang that he would send his old friend Qianlong down. As a king, you must keep your word.
