"Let's get going..." The First Emperor closed the interrogation report submitted by Zhao Si.
Zhao Si took advantage of the Emperor's absence and took the report and carefully studied the crimes confessed by Yin Tong.
There are many crimes, including enriching his own pockets and secretly forming a party to suppress dissidents and taking control of the place, but these are not fatal enough, including the fact that Yin Tong opened the door to the nobles of Wuzhong.
There is only one truly fatal sin!
Collect Xiang Liang and train private soldiers!
"No wonder! No wonder!" Zhao Si rubbed his eyebrows.
According to Yin Tong's confession, Xiang Liang fled to Kuaiji after being convicted of murder in Xiangdi.
Yin Tong was originally from Chu, and he had interacted with Xiang Liang, so he took Xiang Liang in.
With Yin Tong's protection, Xiang Liang began to make friends with local prominent families in Wuzhong. With Yin Tong's help and the support of the Xiang family's background and resources, Xiang Liang successfully established a foothold in Wuzhong.
Of course, friends are friends, and Xiang Liang's transfer of benefits to Yin Tong is indispensable.
After establishing a foothold, Xiang Liang began to try to recruit rural soldiers in the Wuzhong area and train the Xiang family's private soldiers.
Yin Tong, the governor of Kuaiji County, discovered this fact and wanted to break up with Xiang Liang and report it.
There is no way, this is truly a crime committed by the real clan.
Qin law stipulates that crimes can be offset by titles. If Yin Tong's previous deeds were offset by titles, the most he would do is to be demoted to a slave.
But there is one crime for which there is no immunity: treason.
There are many definitions of treason. Raising soldiers can count, hiding armor and forging weapons secretly can also count.
Not to mention private training!
However, the cooperation between Yin Tong and Xiang Liang was too deep at that time. Even if he did not participate, he would not be able to clean it up by jumping into the Yellow River. Therefore, Yin Tong fell into deep hesitation.
For his own life, Yin Tong strongly asked Xiang Liang to disband the soldiers who were kept and trained.
Xiang Liang and Yin Tong launched their first high-intensity battle.
Since Yin Tong became the governor of Kuaiji, he has become more and more closely connected with the nobles in Wuzhong, and the governor is an important member of the party, and can even be said to be the local emperor. The First Emperor's deterrence of Yin Tong slowly passed with the passage of time. is declining.
Xiang Liang had a keen insight into Yin Tong's thoughts, and began to use threats and persuasion to control Yin Tong.
At that time, rumors spread wildly across the world and the public opinion of the Qin Dynasty was at its worst. Even Yin Tong himself accepted the rhetoric of the aristocratic circle, believing that the First Emperor was not dead soon and that the Six Kingdoms would be restored sooner or later.
It would be uncomfortable if Xiang Liang was reported and Yin Tong was exposed. Xiang Liang also had the righteousness of revenge. Whether it was from a rational or profit perspective, exposing Xiang Liang would not be a good thing.
Xiang Liang keenly captured Yin Tong's inner struggle. In order to obtain Yin Tong's maximum support and help, Xiang Liang chose to surrender!
And this also led to a problem. Yin Tong's crime was even greater, enough to be punished by his family.
On the contrary, for the Xiang family, if they really want to prove the crime, it will only mean that Xiang Liang is guilty of death, and a large number of people will be demoted as slaves. Although their vitality will be greatly damaged, it will not implicate the clan.
It is surrender and allegiance, not cooperation!
From then on, the Xiang family made money not for themselves, but for the county governor.
From then on, the Xiang family did not train private soldiers for themselves, but so that Yin Tong could have his own troops when the world was in chaos.
Zhao Si finally understood. It is no wonder that when the world was in chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty in history, Yin Tonghui, the governor of Kuaiji County, recruited Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu to conspire with him and regarded him as a minister.
It's no wonder that when Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu were in chaos, their first thought was not to work together for important events but to kill Yin Tong on the spot.
Because the cooperation between the Xiang family and Yin Tong is a conspiracy!
Therefore, Xiang Liang's allegiance to Yin Tong was not actually made public.
Yin Tong is ready to take action. If he doesn't take action, it will be difficult to do so in the future. The Xiang family cannot bear the name of disloyalty!
"The allegiance is not made public, it is just a private covenant..." Zhao Si thought to himself.
This is no wonder why the soldiers trained by the Xiang family in Wuzhong unswervingly obeyed Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's orders instead of Yin Tong.
In the eyes of normal people, it is true that Yin Tong is the governor of the county, but Xiang Liang is the leader of the Xiang family. The Xiang family is a serious old aristocrat who has been a general in Chu for generations, not to mention someone like Xiang Yan. The tragic general was admired by the whole country.
Yin Tong has the right to do so, but in terms of reputation and local influence, there is no comparison between Yin Tong and Xiang Liang.
In the eyes of most people, Xiang Liang's status is more noble than Yin Tong, not to mention the influence of Xiang Yan's descendants in Wuzhong.
The soldiers in Wuzhong recognized Xiang Liang, but not Yin Tong. After all, he was an outsider. Even if Yin Tong provided money, food, and soldiers, they would only think that Xiang Liang was clever and influential enough.
Not to mention, according to history, Xiang Yu will soon marry Yu Meiren, the legitimate daughter of the Yu family, a prominent local family in Wuzhong.
Yin Tong seemed to have Xiang Liang's allegiance, but in fact he had been completely ignored.
The reason why Xiang Liang did not dare to act rashly was because the central government of the Qin Dynasty had not yet fallen into chaos, and Yin Tong's position as governor was still very important.
By the time of the chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Yin Tong's official status was far from enough to deter him. Yin Tong still wanted to rebel, so his official position was reduced to a joke and had no deterrent effect at all. Xiang Liang would naturally be happy to accept Yin Tong. Pass all remaining inheritance.
"What did you see?" Emperor Shi Huang looked at Zhao Si who was deep in thought and asked.
"Xiang Liang probably isn't really loyal to Yin Tong." Zhao Si said thoughtfully.
The First Emperor nodded.
"He made a very serious mistake. The covenant between him and Xiang Liang had no binding force, and his self-righteous allegiance, thinking that his status was more noble than Xiang Liang, was actually an illusion given to him by his position as county guard. , it is the position of county governor that is noble, not his Yin Tong.
If you follow what Yin Tong said, even if it really comes to the chaos of the late Qin Dynasty, I am afraid that the private soldiers trained by Xiang Liang will not be used by him. For Xiang Liang, when that time comes, he will kill a person who has lost the power and responsibility of the county guard. It is obviously more cost-effective than true allegiance. "Zhao Si spread his hands.
The First Emperor nodded and leaned back, letting out a long sigh.
That's right... Zhao Si can see the problem, but Yin Tong can't. Why on earth does he think he is qualified to have a great nobleman who has been a general for generations loyal to him?
The Yin Tong in the past was not like this!
Lang Zhongling is equivalent to the central talent training school.
Yin Tong was born as a Langguan, and the competition among Langguan was fierce, making it very difficult to get a real job outside.
Anything that can be released to the outside world has enough merits to excel.
Yin Tong was able to stand out and was appointed by the First Emperor as the governor of a local county with a salary of two thousand stones, which proved his talent.
The First Emperor didn't know what to say for a moment.
He could accept that Yin Tong had become corrupted and had ambitions, but he could not agree that Yin Tong had made such a simple mistake in the process of corruption.
As Zhao Si said, allegiance without any constraints can be torn up at any time.
Yin Tong's fall only made the First Emperor feel sad for a moment. He was already used to this kind of thing.
He waved his hand and put Yin Tong's affairs behind him, and then the smile gradually appeared on his face.
"Let's go to Kuaiji. You will be responsible for the affairs of Kuaiji County." The First Emperor waved his hand.
It can be seen that Zhao Si is very interested in the affairs of Kuaiji County. Zhao Si has already shown sufficient enthusiasm even before arriving in Kuaiji.
Whether it's Xiang Liang's uncle or nephew or the Yu family's poppy.
Now that the overall situation has been decided, Yin Tong has been executed, and the First Emperor does not mind leaving the aftermath of the general affairs to Zhao Si.
Anyway, the most important matters have been taken care of by Li Si and Dun Rui, and all that's left is to arrest and convict people according to the big list provided by Yin Tong.
"Wei!" Zhao Si nodded!
History has now completely changed beyond recognition.
At present, Yin Tong, the governor of Kuaiji County, has been arrested in advance. Xiang Yu and Yu Ji have not yet met, so it is naturally nonsense to talk about getting married.
On the contrary, Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew, who left a strong mark on history, have become the turtles in the urn.
Zhao Si certainly doesn’t mind adding fuel to the fire when faced with this unrecognizable history.
Although there are enough historical filters for Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, Zhao Si is the first emperor after all, and he knows what he wants to do.
Because of Yin Tong's stupidity, although Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew were not implicated in the execution of the Xiang family, it was obvious that participating in the rebellion and just helping Yin Tong train his private soldiers was enough to severely damage the Xiang family's vitality.
The same is true for the Yu family, a prominent family in Wuzhong. They have a lot of interest exchanges with the governor of Kuaiji, and the Yu family also has to account for a large number of clan members.
This is a good entry point.
The Yu family is considered a famous and powerful family in Wuzhong.
The Xiang family stood at the pinnacle of reputation in the Chu region.
"Order of relocation..."
"This can actually promote the completion of the relocation order, the Yu family, and the Xiang family..."
Xiang Liang's death is inevitable. There is no need to go into this point. In addition to training private soldiers, Xiang Liang also carries the felony of murder. Unless the First Emperor himself speaks, no one can save Xiang Liang.
According to Zhao Si's understanding of Qin Fa, Xiang Yu was demoted to a slave at first.
When Xiang Liang died, Xiang Yu was demoted to a slave, and the only real master of the Xiang family was Xiang Bo.
Will Uncle Xiang break the net for Uncle Xiang Liang and Da Qin Yu?
History has proven this. When Xiang Yu was at the height of his power, Xiang Bo could stab him in the back. Not to mention Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew, who had already lost power for sure. The Qin Dynasty was at the top of his power. Even if the Xiang family was dead and the net was broken, they would not be able to stir up any trouble. Zhao Si believed in Xiang Bo. Will make the right choice.
"Move the Xiang family and the Yu family to Xianyang to guard the mausoleum... One is the largest noble in Chu land, and the other is one of the top noble families in Wuzhong. They are enough to set an example for Chu land. Except for the Xiang family, there is no noble in the entire Chu land who can We have enough prestige and connections to unite the nobles of Chu to resist the imperial relocation order."
Zhao Si nodded with satisfaction.
"Then... let's get going!"
Zhao Si climbed out of the carriage and rode his horse to Kuaiji!
He couldn't wait to carry out the arrest plan for Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew!
As for Yu Ji, the Yu family is also a sure thing. Even the monks can't escape, let alone the temple?
