Above the court, everyone's mood was very complicated. Some people began to doubt whether what Xu Fu said was true or false.
After all, you only take a few hundred people with you and go out to sea in a boat, so you can expand the land thousands of miles away? Can you find Silver Mountain? Can you conquer South Vietnam? Can we catch the rebels?
This sounds like talking in sleep.
But this is, after all, in the political hall. Who in the world has the courage to lie in a place like this?
uuHey, a paragraph is missing! If you like it, please collect it: () The fastest update speed. uuquot;b5"
Naturally, the corpses of those rebels cannot be sent to the palace. However, Ying Zheng sent two people to check outside.
A quarter of an hour later, the two men came back with complicated expressions. They saluted Ying Zheng and said respectfully: "I have already checked it. The corpse has certainly begun to rot. However, the face is vaguely discernible, and it is indeed Wang Heng."
Damn it, another section is missing! , the fastest update! uuquot;a9"
Xu Fu looked at the courtiers with a puzzled look on his face, and suddenly whispered: "Wang Heng is just a small rebel. He only has more than 400 men under his command. What's so strange about killing him?"
The ministers looked at Xu Fu with complicated eyes.
What Zhao Tuo's three thousand elite soldiers couldn't do, your two hundred sailors can do it. You said there's nothing strange about it?
The ministers suddenly smelled a familiar smell. Xu Fu's shamelessness is really a bit like banishing an immortal.
On kbd day, I can’t watch it anymore and it’s missing some parts! Remember in one second, (). kbdquot;b4"
Xu Fu said respectfully: "What I am able to do today is all due to the cultivation of Ban Xian. My ability to sail out to sea and conquer the Japanese country is the plan set by Ban Xian. The Japanese country is rich in silver, and Ban Xian has known it for a long time."
"As for the conquest of South Vietnam, it was just a matter of copying the experience of Japan, and there was nothing strange about it."
Everyone looked at Li Shui with strange expressions.
Ying Zheng said: "Huai Guzi, how do you know that Japan has a lot of silver? Could it be that you have been there before?"
Li Shui scratched his head, bowed and said, "Perhaps when I was in the immortal world, I once traveled around the world and saw it once or twice. Now I can't remember it clearly."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly: Huai Guzi's words are a little off-key, but what he says is often accurate. Maybe he really once traveled around the world, and then forgot some things, but retained some memories.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui and sighed in his heart: How can I be so virtuous and capable that I can get help from people in heaven?
Immediately afterwards, Ying Zheng gave himself another explanation: It can be seen that I was ordered by heaven. That's how it should be.
Xu Fu coughed dryly and said to Ying Zheng: "Is the so-called meticulous Wang Bing... true or false? How to deal with this person?"
Ying Zheng said: "Bring this man here, I have something to ask him."
Soon, Wang Bing was brought up.
Those who came to Ying Zheng were not only Wang Bing, but also Xiang Pi, Xiang Pi's grandson, and several injured rebels.
Ying Zheng asked: "Who is Wang Bing?"
Those people were trembling with fear. Finally Wang Bing stood up and said tremblingly: "The villain is Wang Bing."
Ying Zheng said: "Raise your head."
Wang Bing raised his head tremblingly, but did not dare to look at Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng looked at him for a while and suddenly smiled: "Are you the craftsman next to Wang Heng? It's not easy to be willing to take risks and achieve great achievements."
Wang Bing felt excited after hearing this. I wonder which servant in the world can be praised by His Majesty?
Ying Zheng asked again: "After Zhao Tuo's army entered Chu, why didn't you continue to inform them?"
Wang Bing said: "Wang Heng's bandit army has been hiding in the dense forest. They have not left for several days. I have already conveyed the news. As long as Zhao Tuo quietly surrounds the mountain, Wang Heng can be captured in one fell swoop."
"Who would have thought that Zhao Tuo's three thousand troops would rush into Pei County and leak their whereabouts. Only then did Wang Heng get wind of it and run away."
"After that, the villain left many secret marks, marking Wang Heng's whereabouts. However, Zhao Tuo kept following Wang Heng, chasing and killing him many times, but failed to catch up. On the contrary, Wang Heng became suspicious. Later, Wang Heng was there In the army, you have to find out the details of how to sit and march. From then on, the villain has no chance to deliver the message."
Li Si's face turned red after hearing this, and he felt that every word Wang Bing said was a slap the size of a cattail leaf fan, slapping his face.
After listening to Wang Bing's narration, Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Zhao Tuo is eager to make contributions. Being too impatient will ruin important things."
The courtiers all nodded.
Ying Zheng looked at Xiang Pi again: "You are so old, are you still a thief?"
Xiang Pi shook his head repeatedly: "Young man, I was captured by thieves. I have to admit that I have never killed a court soldier. I have always been held hostage by Zhao Tuo, running around here and there. .”
Xiang Pi said so pitifully that the rebels next to him couldn't stand it any longer.
These rebels were real rebels. After they were caught, they knew that they might not survive. But the desire to survive made them try every means to find a way to survive.
So these rebels shouted one after another: "The villain is going to accuse of adultery. The villain is going to accuse of adultery. These two people are from the royal family of Chu. This child is a descendant of King Huai of Chu, and his name is Xiong Xin."
There was an uproar in the court hall.
Many people nodded and said, "No wonder Wang Heng wants to take this old and young with him. It turns out that they have extraordinary status."
Xiang Pi cried with tears streaming down his face: "I'm not a member of the Chu royal family. It's actually Wang Heng who wanted to use the banner of King Huai of Chu to trick the Chu people into rebelling, so he forced my grandson to become Xiong Xin."
The two groups of people insist on their own opinions, and no one has any evidence.
Ying Zheng looked at Xiang Pi and was thinking slightly.
Many courtiers looked at Xiang Pi with sympathy, feeling that he would not survive.
According to the emperor's character, of course he would rather believe what he has than what he doesn't have. It doesn’t matter whether you are a real descendant of King Huai of Chu, as long as you kill him, you will be safe.
What's more, these two grandsons were captured by Xu Fu from the rebel camp. Even if they were charged with rebelling, they deserved death.
However, Ying Zheng looked at Xu Fu and asked calmly: "Are these two innocent people caught by Wang Heng? Or are they from the Chu royal family?"
Judging from the look on Ying Zheng's questioning, it didn't look like he wanted to identify the traitor, but rather like he wanted to satisfy his curiosity. It seems that the so-called anti-thief is just a boring gossip.
The self-confidence of an eternal emperor was vividly displayed at this moment.
Li Shui looked at himself and thought with satisfaction: I am ashamed, I happen to be the source of that confidence.
In response to Ying Zheng's inquiry, Xu Fu thought for a while, and then said honestly: "These two people are probably not members of the Chu royal family. However, they are not innocent people either."
Xiang Pi's face was pale and he looked resigned to his fate.
In the past year, my life has been like falling leaves in the strong wind. Apart from resigning myself to fate, what else can I do?
Xu Fu said: "I found a sword from Xiang Pi. This sword is a token of the Xiang family. It has been passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, this Xiang Pi is a member of the Xiang clan of Chu State and a descendant of Xiang Yan. , Xiang Liang’s relatives.”
Ying Zheng looked at Xiang Pi with great interest: "So, are you really a traitor?"
Xiang Pi said with a bitter face: "The villain did once enter Xiang Liang's camp. However, he was also coerced. That day Xiang Liang was defeated and found our village, forcing me to lead the villagers to rebel against him. "
"Xiang Liang said that we are all from the Xiang family and share the same clan. Now that the Xiang family has raised the flag of righteousness, we should also help with our full strength. However, our Xiangjia Village and Xiang Liang have been separated by several generations, and our bloodline is almost non-existent. We They are all just law-abiding Guizhou leaders. They think about how to satisfy their hunger every day, so naturally they refuse to rebel."
"At that time, Xiang Liang was alone. We refused to obey, and he couldn't do anything to us. But the officers and soldiers said that my whole village was a traitor and wanted to drive us all out. We could only follow Xiang Liang and leave with his family."
"Xiang Liang rebelled, and many of my people were killed or injured. Only my grandson and I were left. When Xiang Liang was dying, he gave me this sword and asked me to bring it to Xiang Yu so that Xiang Yu could raise the rebel flag again."
"The villain has always been as timid as a mouse, how dare he rebel? After getting this sword, all he wanted in his mind was to sell it, buy a few acres of thin farmland, a cattle, and live incognito with his grandson for the rest of his life. .”
"Unexpectedly, before I could sell the sword, I was caught by Wang Heng. Wang Heng insisted that we are a family of the King of Chu, and said that this sword was a treasure handed down by King Huai of Chu. He forced my grandson to He became the king of Chu and took four to five hundred people with him to hide in various places."
"Your Majesty is aware that I just want to plow the fields. But by some strange combination of circumstances, I am trapped in a bandit camp. I work in fear every day, trying to survive, and my life is very hard..."
When Xiang Pi talked about it, he burst into tears and almost cried.
Ying Zheng said calmly: "Check."
With just one word, Da Qin's machine started running quickly.
It only took half an hour for all kinds of news to be sent to the Yizheng Hall.
A sergeant who once attacked Xiang Liang in the Chu region testified that after Xiang Liang's defeat, he did go to Xiangjia Village to recruit troops.
The soldiers who were once commanded by Wang Jian and captured Xiang Liang testified that one day, Wang Jian's confidants had indeed entered Xiangjia Village on charges of collaborating with thieves.
A local official from Chu region who was reporting on his duties in Xianyang said that the Xiang family in Xiangjia Village had indeed not had contact with Xiang Liang for a long time. The people in Xiangjia Village live in poverty, just like other people in Guizhou. These people usually keep to themselves and rarely break the law.
…………
Now the facts are very clear. This skin is indeed an unlucky guy. He has been exploited by several waves of rebels and has to survive in the rebel army.
The courtiers were a little helpless. They thought this matter was really strange. How could Xiang Pi, a bad old man with no ability, be favored by so many rebels?
But if you think about it carefully, it is really a coincidence and there is no conspiracy in it.
In the end, Ying Zheng did not punish Xiang Pi. On the one hand, Xiang Pi is really forced to do nothing, and on the other hand, Xiang Pi is too old, so let's just give him some mercy.
The rebels captured by Xu Fu were all beheaded in public display.
Xu Fu, Wang Bing and others each received awards.
Wang Bing glanced at Li Shui secretly, with a grateful expression on his face: He was just a servant, and a servant of the guilty minister Wang. Who would have thought that just because he helped Ban Xian do something. Not only did he regain his freedom, but he also gained a title...
Ying Zheng stood up and said calmly: "This is the end of today's meeting."
The courtiers all agreed.
Ying Zheng was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and said to Li Si: "Tell Zhao Tuo to come back with his people, so as not to waste food and salary in vain."
Li Si responded with a grimace.
Ying Zheng left, and Li Si left the political hall dejectedly. Today, it is really embarrassing.
Li Si looked lonely, while Cheng Ren and Huang Pan looked anxious.
They hurriedly walked out of the palace, fearing that they would be caught if they were a step too late. But they were caught after all.
Li Shui walked over, stood between them, and put his arms on their shoulders.
Li Shui said with a smile: "Two adults, we are officials in the same dynasty. Logically speaking, we should be close to each other. But to this day, I still don't know your names. I wonder if you can tell me."
Cheng Ren wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "I am banishing the immortal. I only said something for the sake of the people of Great Qin. I did not mean to banish the immortal."
Huang Pan also said: "I don't care about things and people, so please don't mind me banishing immortals."
Li Shui said: "Of course I know this. I just admire the courage of the two adults, so I want to make friends with them."
Cheng Ren and Huang Pan looked at each other, and they said with a dry smile: "Exiled Immortal, we are just sharing your Majesty's worries. Just be colleagues. If you form a party for personal gain, it will be taboo for Your Majesty."
Li Shui sighed: "It seems that the two of you think that I have a bad reputation and are unwilling to make friends. Also, there are rumors about me everywhere in Xianyang City, saying that I am shameless and wanton. I originally thought that the pure will self-purify. , no need to explain. I didn’t expect the two ministers to misunderstand me so deeply.”
Cheng Ren and Huang Pan shook their heads repeatedly, refusing to admit such thoughts even to death.
Li Shui suddenly turned around and asked Li Xin next to him: "Brother Li, what are the names of these two adults?"
Li Xin said with a smile: "One is called Cheng Ren and the other is called Huang Pan."
After hearing this, Cheng Ren and Huang Pan's legs became weak.
Li Shui laughed loudly and patted them on the shoulders: "Since we have exchanged names, we are considered acquaintances. After all, we are friends. I will visit you another day. I hope you two will not shut me out."
Cheng Ren and Huang Pan left sweating.
Li Xin looked at Li Shui: "They are just two small characters. Do you really want to deal with them?"
Li Shui shook his head: "I'm just bored for a while, just to scare them. By the way, I also want to show some people with evil intentions: Mr. Tingwei is unreliable. When he hires people, he makes promises that are as bright as the sky. When they are unlucky, he just ignores them." Life or death."
