Ying Zheng pardoned Han Wangan's death penalty, and the surrounding guards stepped forward to remove the chains on Han Wangan's body and took him away.
Han Wangan knelt in front of Ying Zheng, but Ying Zheng's eyes were not on him, but on the ministers and envoys from the five countries below. Scanned by Ying Zheng's eyes, Lu Buwei, Ziyou and Wei Liao led the officials to face Ying Zheng salutes and shouts
"My King for ten thousand years!"
A scornful aura emanated from Ying Zheng. The envoys from the five countries were glanced at with indifferent eyes. They were so frightened that they knelt on the ground. Han Wangan, who was closest to Ying Zheng, was in slightly better condition, but his face turned pale and he was Under the impact of Ying Zheng's momentum, even he, the King of Han, who had been on the throne for many years, felt fear. For a moment, Han Wangan seemed to have returned to the time when he was still an unfavored son, facing his own man who held the power of South Korea and controlled him. The fear of the father of life and death.
Han Wangan shouldn't have looked up to see what state Ying Zheng was in now, but the image of Ying Zheng had already appeared in his mind. He was a unique king who could control mountains and rivers and lead all the people in the world. Han Wangan turned his head when he paused. The pressure was lowered, but fortunately Ying Zheng did not continue to exude his momentum and handed the map of South Korea to Chang Feng, who had been waiting for a long time.
Chang Feng took the map and Ziyou immediately stepped onto the sacrificial platform. Two waiters lifted up the screen with the map of the seven kingdoms. The territories of the seven kingdoms were separated by thick ropes. At Ying Zheng's signal, Ziyou You tore off the cord that represented the territorial boundary between Qin and South Korea, and then threw it into the cauldron burning with fire.
This is the last step of sacrificing prisoners, which means it is clear to the world that the land of South Korea has been included in the territory of Qin, and there will be no South Korea from now on. Originally, this matter should be done by Ying Zheng, but in order to express his gratitude to all the soldiers for this attack on South Korea. Out of respect, Ying Zheng asked Zi You, the army commander, to do it for him. This represents the greatest honor that Ying Zheng gave to the Qin army.
The generals below and the surrounding guards suddenly felt proud, and the unprecedented glory came to them, making them respect their king even more. This was the honor given to them by their king.
"The Qin Dynasty will last for ten thousand years, the Qin army will be victorious for ten thousand years, and the king will be victorious for ten thousand years!" The guards around him immediately knelt down on one knee and shouted to Ying Zheng,
"Get up!" Ying Zheng said.
"The ceremony is completed!" Chang Feng shouted loudly.
The ministers below bowed to Ying Zheng again, and the prisoner dedication ceremony was over. Han Wangan was also taken back. Han Fei looked at Han Wangan being taken away, and finally let go of the hanging heart in his heart. Ying Zheng agreed. He had to let Han Wangan go, but the officials of Qin might not necessarily agree. Now that Ying Zheng had forgiven Han Wangan in front of the officials and envoys from the five countries, Han Wangan was completely safe.
As for the remaining Korean clan, that is what Han Fei should have thought about. There was no way to hide the fact that the Korean clan and ministers escaped privately on the road and were shot by the Qin army, and there was no need to hide it. So after arriving in Xianyang, a team of hundreds of people There were less than twenty or thirty people left. As for the fate of these people, they were imprisoned. Ziyou never thought about being merciful to the powerful people of the six countries.
The sacrifices at the Qinian Palace were over, and Ying Zheng's chariots brought hundreds of officials back to Xianyang. However, Ying Zheng did not return to the Qin Palace. Instead, he led the Qin army generals and the cavalry responsible for transporting the ashes of the fallen soldiers to the National Protectorate Temple. .
The tall stone tablet has been engraved with the names of the Qin Dynasty's monarchs, famous ministers and generals. Ying Zheng, Ziyou and Wang Jian stood in front of the stone tablet, holding hammers and chisels in their hands. Meng Wu was holding the list of soldiers who died in the battle. Black dragon flags were flying all around, and the wind was whistling all around, and a hint of sadness could be heard vaguely.
The cavalryman responsible for escorting the ashes of the fallen soldiers stood beside the horse, holding a jar containing the ashes in his hand.
As Meng Wu read out the names of the fallen soldiers one by one, the whole square echoed with the sound of clanging hammers. As each name was read, a knight wrapped the ashes in a package, carried it on his back, and then turned over Get on your horse and wait for everyone's names to be read before setting off.
The clanking sound was still ringing. Ying Zheng felt the soreness in his arms, but he still did not give up carving. Being able to carve the names of these soldiers who died in battle, Ying Zheng did not feel tired at all, but felt a great honor. He Knowing that these are the soldiers who love him and the Qin State, they have sacrificed their lives for the Qin State. It is his honor to be able to send them on their last journey. It is his honor to have such soldiers who died for the country without regrets.
It was getting late, and Ying Zheng could no longer feel the presence of his arms. Ziyou and Wang Jian on the side had stopped moving. There was still the last name left, which should be ended by Ying Zheng. As the last name was carved, Ying Zheng The hammer in Zheng's hand fell with a sound. His arm was now numb, his palm had been worn out, and a lot of blood was flowing out.
"Your Majesty!" Ziyou and Wang Jian shouted in a low voice.
"No, if I'm not willing to shed this little blood, I'm not worthy of these soldiers fighting to the death." Ying Zheng shook his head and said.
Seeing this, Ziyou and Wang Jian said nothing more. Ying Zheng looked at the soldiers who were already on horseback and ready to set off.
"I ask you all to send the ashes of these soldiers who died on the battlefield back to their hometowns. They are heroes. They died for Qin and the people of Qin. I cannot guarantee that they will be able to return to their hometowns alive to see themselves. Parents, but they must be allowed to return to their roots.”
"No!!" said the knight security guard on the horse.
"The heroic spirit returns home, blessing the descendants!" The priest in charge of the National Protectorate Temple shouted in a deep voice.
The door behind the knights opened, and with the waving of whips, the horses neighed, and the knights took the fallen soldiers and began to escort the ashes of the fallen soldiers back.
"Teacher, has anyone taken action on the rewards and pensions of soldiers?" Ying Zheng asked in a low voice.
"No, Luo Wang has been secretly supervising this time. Some people wanted to take action, but they were caught by Luo Wang before they could implement it." Ziyou said, the reason why corruption and pensions are repeatedly banned is that the methods are not strong enough. In the beginning, there was Several people wanted to take action against the pension, but before they could take action, they were caught on the spot, and the evidence of the crime had been tested in Tingwei.
"It has been banned for many times. This kind of custom must be cut off here. Kill the nine tribes." Ying Zheng looked at the stone tablet behind him and said. If these people don't die, how can the heroic spirits behind them sleep peacefully?
Wang Jian and Meng Wu were horrified. In the past, the most severe punishment in the Qin State was to punish the clan or the three clans. Even the rebel Lao Ai was only a member of the Yi clan, but this time it was directly to punish the nine clans, which meant that these few All the people who have a relationship with the individual will be killed, which is thousands of lives. Although they also hate people who extend a corrupt hand to the pensions of soldiers who died in battle, they have never thought of killing the Nine Clan.
"You no longer need to admonish me. I just want to let these people know that they will pay a price for doing wrong things. I just want to kill them until they dare not think like this again." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice, "Let Luo Wang and Ying When the secret guards do it, they can’t let anyone go, and they can’t implicate one more person.”
"No!" Ziyou said.
Wang Jian and Meng Wu glanced at the high monument behind them, and followed Ying Zheng and Zi You out of the National Protectorate Temple. As the order to kill the nine tribes was issued, the Qin court was shocked. It was different from the imagined admonition, and the entire government and the public agreed. , the Gongyang Confucians in the Qin State even loudly publicized and praised this incident, saying that Ying Zheng was a move to eliminate the Xiaoxiao people, benevolent and righteous and love the people. As for the execution of the Nine Tribes because they loved the people, they were the only ones, but no one went to argue with them. , because there are still large armies stationed outside Xianyang.
With the end of the attack on South Korea, the army also began to evacuate. Wang Jian returned to Shangdang, Meng Wu and Yang Duanhe went to Xia Cai, Li Xin was stationed in South Korea and Chen Bing was at the border of South Korea and Wei. The five countries watched as Qin was still there In the state of war, it was originally thought that Qin's annexation of South Korea could be stopped for two years, especially the Wei State. They had not yet consumed the annexed Chu territory, so they immediately appointed Lian Po, who had just resigned as commander-in-chief, as Wei's prime minister.
After Lian Po became prime minister, he dispatched 50,000 soldiers to confront Li Xin, and at the same time sent people to digest the Chu territory.
The Zhao State did not react much. With Li Mu, the cornerstone of the country, Zhao Wangqian still continued to hang out with the prostitute. At the same time, he mobilized the army to Shangdang according to Li Mu's letter, and at the same time sent people to form an alliance with the Wei State. The Yan State also did not After fighting with Zhao Guo again, he mobilized the army to deal with Li Xin, for fear that Qin Guo's next target would be himself.
The situation in the Chu country is still one of three families fighting. In order to suppress Changping Lord, the three families, Li Yuan and Qu Jingzhao, jointly mobilized Xiang Yan to Xu Di and asked him to confront Meng Wu. When I arrived in Chu State, I needed to be appeased, so I asked Lord Changping to take charge. Because Lord Changping had disturbed the Confucianists in Chu, the Confucian disciples sent by Xiaoshengxianzhuang began to criticize Lord Changping continuously, and began to build the reputation of Prince Fuchu and King Xiong Han in Chu State. .
The reputation of Lord Changping's biggest trump card among the common people also began to be gradually occupied by others. Fortunately, Zhang Liang brought the Zhang clan members to support Lord Changping, which allowed Lord Changping to stabilize his hands and start a counterattack.
Qi State is still playing music and dancing. There is an alliance between Qin State and Qi State, and the relationship between the two countries is also very close. Qi State is not worried about Qin State attacking itself, unless Qin State loses all face and does not care about the people. mental image.
As the weapons library was cracked and dismantled, Xiangli Kan and Gongshu Chou also led their disciples back to Xianyang. As soon as they came back, they received an edict asking them to report to the Academy of Sciences. Although the two families were still confused, they followed Zhao Gao went to the Academy of Sciences. When they saw Ziyou sitting in the chief officer's position, they understood something and said to Ziyou in salute.
"Meet Master Wang."
"Master Xiangli, head of the Gongshu family, from now on you will conduct research and development and manufacturing here." Ziyou said.
Seeing that both of them were still a little confused, Ziyou began to explain the Academy of Sciences and at the same time took two disciples to visit the newly established Academy of Sciences.
There is another chapter in the afternoon. Brothers, if you have a heatstroke reaction in the future, you must drink Huoxiang Zhengqi water in time. Don’t be stupid and resist like me. I finally got heatstroke. I had a reaction yesterday afternoon, but I didn’t take it seriously. I was miserable at night.
