The First Emperor understood.
Cheng Yu really did this on purpose. What was he seeking?
Turning his head to look at the reflection on the gate of Zhangtai Palace, the First Emperor was thoughtful.
After all these years, is he still doubting Zhao Gao?
"Why did Your Majesty want to arrest Lord Chang'an?" Gai Nie always asked questions face to face. He interrupted Ying Zheng's thoughts and said softly.
"I want to entrust Yongdi to him. If he is in power, he will not accept it."
Can Yongdi be enfeoffed?
Gai Nie was extremely surprised.
In the Qin State, Yongdi was of great significance, both in terms of political and practical value.
Yongdi is actually a city, called Yongcheng.
Yongcheng once served as the capital of the Qin State for 294 years and experienced nineteen monarchs of the Qin State. It is the longest-lasting capital of the Qin State.
The importance of Yongcheng to the Qin State can be described by Sima Qian's words - descendants drank their horses from the river.
This sentence is a hexagram divined by Qin Degong before he moved the capital to Yongcheng. The meaning of the hexagram is very simple, that is, the horses of future generations can drink water from the Yellow River.
The Yellow River is the mother river of China. If the horses of future generations can drink from the Yellow River, it means that Qin has occupied the Central Plains.
Yongcheng did live up to this hexagram. Since the Qin people established their capital in Yongcheng, their national power has developed rapidly and they have quickly become one of the powerful countries.
Even after Qin Xiaogong moved the capital to Xianyang, the political and economic significance of Yongcheng has not been weakened.
Because the ancestral temple of the Qin State is located in the center of Yongcheng, that is, the ancestral tablets of the Ying family are all placed in Yongcheng, so major ceremonial activities must be held in Yongcheng.
Including the First Emperor. Before his coronation, the First Emperor first went to the Yongcheng Ancestral Temple to fast and solemnly offer sacrifices to his ancestors. Then, with the support of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the coronation ceremony was held in Qinian Palace according to the procedures.
It can be said that Yongcheng is the holy land in the hearts of all Qin people.
The First Emperor wanted to entrust the Holy Land of Qin to Ying Chengxiang, which Gai Nie couldn't understand.
But the First Emperor obviously had no intention of clearing up Gai Nie's doubts.
"Is Li Si still waiting outside?"
"Here I am."
"Call him in."
"only."
When he was going out, Gai Nie saw Zhao Gao looking at him strangely. He had seen it before during the people's activities to drive away the god of plague - he was regarded by Zhao Gao as the god of plague.
Licking the dog.
Gaine thought.
Then Li Si was brought into Zhangtai Palace.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
"No courtesy, sit there and report." Ying Zheng pointed to the soft cushion placed on the ground.
"only."
Li Si remembered what Ying Chengyu said, didn't think anything about the first emperor's words, and sat down directly.
"The maids of the Chang'an Lord's Mansion are all holding Qin crossbows. I took a closer look and found that the Qin crossbows in each maid's hands are slightly different. There should be craftsmen specially tailor-made for them..."
"It was made by the young master. Let's talk about the next one." The First Emperor waved his hand and interrupted impatiently.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Li Si trembled in his heart.
The Shaofu is the agency responsible for weapons production in the Qin State.
The Qin Nu in the hands of the maid in Ying Chengxuan's mansion was made by the Shaofu, which means it is an official product, completely legal and not a private possession.
Li Si raised his eyes and glanced at the First Emperor. He had a bolder guess.
Your Majesty said it so easily, obviously he already knew.
It is very likely that the Qin crossbow at the Chang'an Lord's Mansion was made by His Majesty himself by sending craftsmen to the Chang'an Lord's Mansion.
Qin crossbows are deadly weapons. Why did your majesty send so many Qin crossbows to Lord Chang'an?
Bitter! My thoughts are wandering again! Follow the instructions of Lord Chang'an and do not over-interpret His Majesty's thoughts. Your Majesty's sending of Qin crossbows may be a sign of your love for Lord Chang'an.
Lord Chang'an actually gained His Majesty's trust so much that he actually sent the murder weapon Qin Nu to Lord Chang'an when we were both in Xianyang City. If Lord Chang'an really wanted to rebel...
Li Si didn't dare to think any further.
The First Emperor did not allow him to think any further.
The First Emperor patted the table, frowned and said, "Come to your senses."
Li Si was agitated and said: "I am guilty."
"Forgive me, please continue."
"None of the servants of the Chang'an Lord's Mansion are afraid of arrows. Within twenty steps, arrows that can penetrate leather armor cannot penetrate their flesh and blood. This is what I have seen with my own eyes, and it is definitely not a lie. I follow one The thirty-eight-year-old Mansion soldier learned that the servants of the Chang'an Lord's Mansion seemed to come from a group called the Armored Sect..."
"I also know about this, so tell me nothing else."
Do you know this? Each of those servants seemed to be inhuman beings, able to block swords with their flesh and blood bodies. Even the Langguan in the palace cannot do this. I have never heard that Qin has such an army.
Bang bang~
"Li Si, you lost your mind in front of me for the second time." Ying Zheng patted the table again and said displeasedly.
"I am guilty!"
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si who had panicked and admitted his mistake, and saw that even at the moment of admitting his mistake, Li Si had a daze in his eyes.
Li Si is cautious by nature, and he lost his mind in front of me twice in a row. It seems that the Chang'an Lord's Mansion and his party really shocked him. If he continues to be so distracted, he doesn't know when the reporting will stop.
"Why are you absentminded? What are you thinking about?"
The words His Majesty said should not be over-interpreted.
"I'm thinking about the Pijia Sect. I've never heard that our Great Qin has such an army."
"The Armored Gate was created by Cheng Xi. It has the reputation of having a bronze head and iron arms and being unscathed in a hundred battles. It once defeated Lu Buwei's army during the mutiny in the Qinian Palace. The Armored Gate was not included in the regular army of the Qin State. It was Cheng Xi's private Army, this is so, I understand."
Private army? Lord Chang'an actually has a private army? Still right here in Xianyang City! Your Majesty still allows it!
Li Si was so stunned by Ying Zheng's words that he even forgot to answer.
The presence of an army in Xianyang City that was not under the control of the First Emperor was something the First Emperor knew about and allowed.
If this word spreads, no one in the court or the people will believe it, and they will only think that the person who spread the word is suffering from a mad disease.
In the Qin State, there was only one person in charge of the military, and that was the First Emperor. To share military power with the First Emperor is to share the throne with the First Emperor. Such behavior is seeking death.
You still want the First Emperor to agree, how is this possible?
This is equivalent to someone placing a sword in the palace of the First Emperor. He also told the First Emperor that you are not allowed to use this sword and only I can use it, and the First Emperor agreed.
How ridiculous!
Li Si was confused when he heard this, but the First Emperor who said these words felt nothing.
He just looked at Li Si who was absent-minded again, and said impatiently again: "What are you thinking about again?"
"I am wondering if Your Majesty has lost his mind..."
As soon as the words left his mouth.
An unparalleled pressure enveloped Li Si, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Li Si's body trembled, and when he looked at the ugly-faced First Emperor, his expression changed drastically.
Did I just say that His Majesty is dizzy?
Tom~
Knowing that he was speechless, he knocked his head on the ground and did not dare to raise it. He asked the First Emperor for forgiveness in the most humble manner.
"Get up and continue talking." The First Emperor looked very unhappy.
Hearing that the First Emperor did not blame himself, Li Si breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had saved a small life.
But he just mentioned the First Emperor, but he didn't dare to get up, so he knelt on the ground and said: "The reason why I obeyed Lord Chang'an's order is that Lord Chang'an asked me to see a token..."
…
What kind of jade tablet can command a Jiu Qing?
Tingwei was personally escorting Tingwei Zuojian into Tingwei's prison. He ignored Tingwei Zuojian's roar and walked back while thinking about the problem.
He thought that a jade tablet with such power should not have any clues in history.
So he went to the doctor's office to check the history books of Qin State, and looked through the history of Qin State, but found nothing.
"Wang Wan should know what this jade plaque is."
Wei Ting was muttering and walking towards Wang Wan's mansion.
After taking two steps, he slapped his forehead and gave him a heavy kick.
"I'm just a Ting Weizheng with an annual salary of one thousand dan. Why do I care about this matter? What does the jade medal have to do with me?"
Thinking clearly, Tingwei turned around and returned to Tingwei's mansion. When he returned to the back hall, he saw Tingwei's right prisoner, whom he hadn't seen for several days, and joked: "Is the illness gone?"
Tingwei Right Supervisor smiled and nodded.
Ting Weizheng didn't chase him any more and passed away with a smile.
Everyone was tacitly aware of this matter. If he were the right prisoner of Tingwei, he would have said he was ill and would not be involved in this matter.
Ting Wei's right supervisor saw that only Ting Wei Zheng came in. After waiting for a long time, he did not see Li Si and Ting Wei's left supervisor, so he leaned in front of Ting Wei Zheng and poured tea for Ting Wei Zheng with his own hands.
He handed the light yellow turbid tea soup to Ting Weizheng and said apologetically: "I have troubled Mr. Ting Weizheng a few days ago."
Tingwei's right prisoner personally handed over a cup of tea soup as an apology.
Tingwei was passing by the case on the balcony, and his desire to win was gone. At this moment, he was very Buddhist.
He naturally took the tea soup from the right prisoner of Tingwei, took a sip, and said: "I am in my position, just for my own affairs."
Tingwei was accepting the cup of tea as an apology.
The smile on Tingwei Youjian's face became more natural this time.
"I wonder where Master Tingwei and Li Zuojian are. Didn't they come back with Master Tingwei Zheng?"
"Lord Tingwei went to the palace again and did not come back with me. Li Zuojian came with me."
Tingwei pointed in the direction of Tingwei's prison and said: "It's being held in Tingwei's prison."
The right prisoner of Tingwei asked suspiciously: "Did Mr. Tingwei Zheng make a mistake? Is it Li Zuojian who is escorting Ying Chengyu into Tingwei's prison?"
Tingwei said positively: "I made no mistake. Even if Li Zuojian was imprisoned in Tingwei's prison, I was the one who imprisoned him myself."
The right prisoner of Tingwei was shocked and said repeatedly: "Why! Which Qin law did Li Zuo prison break?"
"Li Zuojian did not violate the Qin law." Tingwei thought about it and said: "If you want to ask the reason why he was imprisoned, he probably provoked Lord Chang'an."
Tingwei right prisoner: Σ(д|||)
You went to the Chang'an Jun's Mansion to arrest that man, and finally arrested Li Zuojian? The reason is that Li Zuojian provoked that son? It was obviously that Zhuzi who killed Li Zuojian's brother!
If you act like this, where is the Tingwei Mansion? Where is the law of Qin? Where is the rule of law in Qin?
Tingwei's right prisoner was so angry that he broke the tea cup on the table.
Tingwei was looking at the right prisoner of Tingwei and the broken teacup on the ground.
"Can you please supervise me to bring a new one tomorrow?"
Tingwei right prisoner:? ? ?
Is this the time to care about the teacup? Li Zuojian has been arrested and sent to Tingwei Prison!
The angry Right Prisoner Tingwei looked at Tingwei Zheng, the old god, and suddenly remembered.
Just now, Tingwei was telling him that he personally sent Tingwei Zuojian to Tingwei's prison.
"Ting Weizheng! As an official of Tingwei's mansion! Why do you work for that Shuzi! Do you still remember the Qin law you memorized!"
Tingwei was drinking tea and said calmly: "This is Tingwei's Mansion. I am just Tingweizheng. I obey Lord Tingwei. The order to arrest Li Zuojian was personally given by Lord Tingwei. If you have any questions, please wait for Tingwei." Mr. Wei will go back to his residence and ask Mr. Ting Wei."
Tingwei right prisoner:......
I have only visited Tingwei Mansion in a few days. How come Tingwei Mansion has changed so drastically?
Tingwei is no longer handling cases in Tingwei's Mansion, Tingwei is no longer fighting for Tingwei, and Tingwei's left prisoner has been imprisoned in Tingwei's prison. Is this still the Tingwei's Mansion that I am familiar with?
What happened in the past few days that I don't know about? It's all that guy's fault! If it weren't for that Zhuzi, I wouldn't be able to stay away for days!
Tingwei was looking at the right prisoner of Tingwei who was standing motionless, and suddenly his soul was filled with happiness.
If the Lord of Chang'an can arrest Li Zuojian and put him in Tingwei's prison, he can put me in prison too. If you can't afford to offend me, can you still afford to hide? The right prisoner has been sick for so many days, so I should be sick for a few days, right?
"Please wait a moment, right prisoner. I suddenly remembered something important and I need to go home."
After saying this, Ting Wei Zheng ran out in a hurry without waiting for Ting Wei's right prisoner to reply.
Before Tingwei's right prisoner could react, he was the only one left in the back hall again.
Not long after, a servant from Tingwei's main residence ran to Tingwei's residence and said, "My master suddenly suffered from constipation and cannot come on duty today."
Right Prisoner Tingwei: ...You didn’t change the name of the disease, are you afraid that the guy will arrest you too? Is that Shu Zi so scary?
Tingwei Right Prisoner hesitated for a moment, then decided to go to Tingwei Prison to visit Tingwei Left Prisoner, and learned from Tingwei Left Prisoner the real reason why he was imprisoned.
Before he even reached the cell where Tingwei Zuojian was imprisoned, Tingwei right prisoner heard the hoarse and hoarse curse from Tingwei Zuojian.
"Ying Chengyu is going to die! Li Si is going to die too! Zhang Tu is going to die too! You are all going to die!"
Zhang Tu is Ting Weizheng's real name.
The corner of Tingwei's right supervisor's mouth twitched and he wanted to turn around and go back.
He felt that Tingwei Zuojian was suffering from a mad disease and could not ask anything.
You just scolded Ying Chengyu, why did you scold Master Tingwei and Master Tingweizheng? How are you going to get along with the two adults after you come out?
"How long have you been scolding Li Zuojian?" Tingwei Zuojian asked the jailer who was following him.
The jailer said cautiously: "I have been cursing him for an hour since I came in."
No wonder his voice is so hoarse.
Holding a glass of water, Tingwei right prisoner walked to the cell where Tingwei left prisoner was detained.
He handed the water to Tingwei Zuojian in the cell and said, "Li Zuojian, can you take a rest?"
Tingwei right prisoner looked at Tingwei left prisoner with chapped lips, gray face and sickly flushed face.
He was a little frightened and understood why Ting Weizheng could not come because he was sick.
The right prisoner of Tingwei and the left prisoner of Tingwei are at the same level in Qin law.
Ying Chengyu can make Tingwei Zuojian look like this, and he, Tingwei right prisoner, can also look like this.
Pa~
The left prisoner of Tingwei knocked over the water in the hands of the right prisoner of Tingwei, grabbed the prison railing, shook it back and forth, and said hysterically: "The maid of Chang'an Junfu has a Qin crossbow in her hand! The servant is invulnerable! Ying Chengyu wants to tamper with the laws of Qin! He wants to Rebellion! Let me out! If you don’t let me out! You are Ying Chengyu’s accomplice! Covering up and other crimes! You will die too!"
Tingwei Right Prisoner nodded solemnly: "Li Zuojian, wait a moment, I will ask the jailer to open the door for you, and then you and I will report to His Majesty."
Tingwei Zuojian was overjoyed and kept slapping the railings, saying: "Go quickly! Go quickly!"
Tingwei Right Prisoner nodded solemnly and walked out of Tingwei Prison. When passing by the jailer, he ordered: "Li Zuojian is suffering from a mad disease. Call a doctor to come and take a look."
Just as the right prisoner of Tingwei was giving instructions, the left prisoner of Tingwei seemed to feel something and shouted: "You lied to me! You lied to me! You are also the protector! You are going to die too!"
The right prisoner of Tingwei sighed and said: "The madness is so serious, go and call the imperial doctor from the Imperial Medical Office."
After giving the instructions, Tingwei Right Prisoner returned to the back hall of Tingwei Mansion, thinking about what Tingwei Zuojian said.
The Qin Nu must be obtained by the elite army. How could it appear in the Chang'an Palace? Still on the maid.
Are all minions invulnerable? joke! I still believe that Zhuzi has an invulnerable retainer.
There are a huge number of servants in the Chang'an Lord's Mansion. If they are all invulnerable, how can His Majesty still stand by and watch such a large force?
What did Shuzi do to make Li Zuojian so crazy?
If Lord Ting Weizheng can't offend him, can I afford it?
But if I claim to be ill and take a rest at this time, there will be no one in charge of the Tingwei Mansion. If His Majesty wants to hold me accountable afterwards, he will definitely pursue me as the last person to rest.
But if I'm not on duty here, what if I get turned into like Li Zuojian by that guy...
Tingwei's right prisoner thought about the tragic situation of Tingwei's left prisoner, trembled, and hurried home.
Being held accountable is much better than being like that!
Soon, a servant from Tingwei's Right Prison Mansion came to Tingwei's Mansion and said, "My master's consumption has relapsed, and he cannot come on duty today."
Ying Chengyu accidentally paralyzed Tingwei's mansion.
Finally done, go to sleep
