Chapter 25 The main event, the first emperor made him doubt life
"Continue reading, I will forgive you."
And while Li Si, Feng Quji, Li Zhan and other court officials were puzzled, the First Emperor's tone gradually became colder.
It was also the First Emperor who didn't believe it.
Ying Cheng even said that Qin's law was the way to subjugate the country.
There is nothing more rebellious than these words.
No matter what Zhao Gao reads.
He is prepared and can accept it with a calm mind.
"Slave, obey your order!"
Zhao Gao lamented in his heart.
Zhao Gao knows.
If he continues to resist the order out of fear, the First Emperor will pull him out and behead him.
Zhao Gao could only face it with his scalp.
Zhao Gao consciously knelt down to read this time. Even when the First Emperor asked Zhao Gao to stand up, Zhao Gao still knelt down and read out:
"However, in the past, the people of the six countries each had their own laws and weapons, and all the people in the world did not know the emperor's heart... Using Qin's laws to rule would inevitably make the people fear and be timid of Qin."
Zhao Gao continued to read, and the First Emperor nodded.
He could still accept this sentence.
The national policy of farming and war really made life miserable for the people of Qin.
Moreover, Ying Cheng’s previous defense had made it clear.
There's no need to be angry.
below.
Li Si, Feng Quji, and Li Zhan also gradually relaxed in their hearts.
There is a feeling of relief.
These contents are not shocking remarks, they are acceptable and acceptable.
"Son, how many words have you written on this Daqin treatise? How come it's not over yet?"
"It's still too late to stop now!"
Fusu also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and tried his best to give Ying Cheng a wink to signal that it was enough to stop.
But.
Just as the First Emperor and the courtiers were relaxed.
"If the common people are angry and bleed for five steps, and the world is plain, then the common people of the world will cut down the trees as soldiers and raise the poles as flags, and the world will gather to respond. If they win the grain and follow the scenery, won't they destroy Qin and benefit others?"
"What's wrong with a man who makes trouble and kills seven temples? He dies at the hands of others and makes the world laugh. What's wrong with attacking and defending without benevolence and righteousness?"
Zhao Gao's trembling voice stirred up in Xianyang Palace.
Finish this sentence.
Zhao Gao sat paralyzed on the ground, as if he had lost his soul, waiting for death to come.
So desperate.
These are not from Zhao Gao and have nothing to do with him.
But it was Zhao Gao who read these words.
Damn Ying Cheng.
If you harm me, Zhao Gao, I will die a good death!
Buzz buzz buzz...
And just when Zhao Gao's words started to stir up the palace.
Within the entire hall.
Everyone held their breath.
Everyone's eyes turned to Ying Cheng, who looked so small and immature.
unbelievable.
Such words would come from the mouth of the extremely smart Ying Cheng.
"Gooji!"
Li Si knelt directly on the ground, wishing he could press his face to the ground, wishing he could find a crack in the stone to get in.
But now.
he can not.
As Prime Minister Zuo, he must not sit idly by at this time.
"Zhao Gao, you are so brave, you dare to curse His Majesty the First Emperor."
Li Si was extremely angry and roared in the hall.
All conflicts were directed at Zhao Gao.
But it is extremely clear in my heart.
These treacherous words were all written by Ying Cheng, and Zhao Gao just read them out as written.
But.
How dare.
How dare Ying Cheng?
Curse the First Emperor.
You can only aim at Zhao Gao!
"Your Majesty, these remarks are ridiculous to the world!"
Feng Quji couldn't sit still anymore and frantically started to take sides.
horrible.
It's really scary.
I just feel that anyone who dares to say this is either a fool or a lunatic.
Otherwise, I would never have been able to write such rebellious words.
"Crash!"
There were two to three hundred officials in the court, a group of the most intelligent people in the Qin Dynasty.
The three ministers and nine ministers, many generals, ministers, middle ministers, and door officials are all responsible for the normal operation of the court and are all important officials of the imperial court who know all departments of the Qin Dynasty very well.
at this time.
One after another, they knelt down in the main hall in a panic.
It was as if I heard something extremely terrifying.
Very panicked.
this moment.
All the ministers in the court were frightened to the ground and did not dare to get up.
if possible.
They hope they didn't hear these words.
"Nizi, Nizi, Nizi, do you know what you are talking about? Ying Cheng, you are looking for death."
Even Fusu at this time started acting up in panic.
He was so frightened that he didn't know what to do and yelled at Ying Cheng.
I have forgotten that in the eyes of the world, I am a gentle, elegant and humble noble man.
None of that matters.
Fusu lost his composure. He was so frightened that he lost his composure.
He couldn't imagine it.
What will happen to Ying Cheng, and how will their Fusu Mansion be implicated by Ying Cheng?
I don’t understand what is in Ying Cheng’s mind.
If you curse His Majesty the First Emperor to die, don't say it. It's best not to even think about it.
But now.
Ying Cheng spoke up.
Moreover, Zhao Gao read it out in front of the court officials.
It’s okay if you don’t want this eldest son!
Fusu now only has one idea left.
While all the courtiers were in panic.
Deep down, the First Emperor smiled.
"Hehe, hehe, hahaha..."
But this laughter.
What started as a sneer turned into ridicule, and finally turned into a maniacal, devilish laughter.
But this laughter is getting more and more terrifying.
"You are saying that we, the Qin Dynasty, will treat the people harshly because of Qin's laws. A commoner will kill in anger, cut down trees as weapons, raise bamboo poles as flags, sweep the world, and people all over the world will rebel."
"You are saying that our country, Great Qin, will eventually perish with my death."
"And the reason is that because I did not implement benevolent government, the offensive and defensive situation of Da Qin and the six countries that had been destroyed changed."
"Good, good, good, what a great treatise on Da Qin."
"I'm telling you right now, I, the Qin Dynasty, will last forever for eternity. How can I be destroyed by a mere commoner?"
"I, Da Qin, will live forever, and I, too, will live forever."
"Great Qin, there are millions of Great Qin soldiers, I want to see who can rebel and who dares to rebel."
The First Emperor suddenly became crazy and stood in the depths of the Mad Palace roaring.
Very good.
It's really good.
"Someone, pull this traitor out and kill him!"
In the main hall, the First Emperor kicked the Dragon Case over with an extremely cruel kick, causing a crackling explosion.
Just as Zhao Gao expected.
It is a grave sin for Zhao Gao not to read it, and it is also a grave sin to read it.
The First Emperor vented his anger on Zhao Gao who read out.
In an instant.
The black-armored guard rushed in from the side door with a clatter.
He ran towards Zhao Gao coldly, wanting to pull Zhao Gao out and kill him.
"Your Majesty, it's unjust, it's unjust, this slave is unjust!"
"Your Majesty, for the sake of my diligent service to your Majesty, your Majesty, please spare my life."
Zhao Gao was so frightened that he struggled and roared on the spot. The outcome was doomed. Knowing that he had nowhere to escape, he could only plead in pain.
But at this time.
The First Emperor was like a wild beast unleashing its wild nature.
No one in the court dared to stand at the front and bear the wrath of the First Emperor at this time.
"Wait!"
But at this moment, Ying Cheng stood on the Yulong Bridge closest to the First Emperor, opening his mouth and confronting the furious First Emperor.
and.
Please intercede for Zhao Gao.
"The Theory of Da Qin was written by the minister, and all the contents are the thoughts in the mind of the minister and have nothing to do with others."
"If Your Majesty wants to punish the guilty, then punish the guilty minister and do not implicate the innocent."
"I, Ying Cheng, and Zhao Gao are not close friends, so I cannot let him bear the responsibility for me."
Ying Cheng stood in the middle of Yulong Bridge sonorously and powerfully.
Turn your back to the courtiers and face the First Emperor.
You have to bear it all alone.
The wrath of the dictatorial First Emperor.
"I, I, I, my father, my sons, my sons are unfilial!"
Ying Cheng's words have not yet finished.
Fusu knelt on the ground in panic and shouted loudly.
Just like last time, I hope that by begging for mercy, the First Emperor will be punished a little lighter.
And in the heart.
He was already resentful of Ying Cheng.
I no longer have any hope in my heart.
Killing Zhao Gao, a powerful eunuch, would kill two birds with one stone. It might be possible to eliminate the anger of His Majesty the First Emperor and give Ying Cheng a lighter punishment.
Unexpectedly, Ying Cheng took the initiative to take charge of the matter.
This is because I am afraid that I will not die quickly enough.
It's just because he didn't think he died quickly enough, and he also caused Fusu Mansion to be implicated.
It’s okay if you don’t want this eldest son.
Fusu now wants to sever the father-son relationship with Ying Cheng.
Only endless fear remains.
And at this time.
Facing the panicked Ying Fusu.
Facing Zhao Gao who was about to be dragged out and beheaded.
Facing the angry and frightened courtiers.
Facing Ying Cheng who begged for mercy.
The First Emperor waved his hand to signal the black-armored guards to stop beheading Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao's tears of gratitude were insignificant.
The First Emperor stared at Ying Cheng coldly and said:
"Ying Cheng, don't think that since you are my eldest grandson, I won't kill you."
The First Emperor was quite furious.
He was even shocked in his heart.
I really didn't expect Ying Cheng to be so careless.
did not expect.
Ying Cheng actually said something more terrifying than the method of subjugating the country.
Curse him to death!
He cursed the Qin State to be destroyed after his death.
This doesn't make sense.
The First Emperor now regretted ordering Zhao Gao to read it out.
if.
He took it over to see what the contents of Ying Cheng were.
Without reading it out in front of the courtiers, and seeing such disobedient words in it, he could see that Ying Cheng was the emperor's eldest grandson and that Ying Cheng was talented and learned.
I was sulking and pretending that this didn't happen.
but now.
Everyone knows this. Even if he wants to let Ying Cheng go, he cannot issue an edict to forgive Ying Cheng.
The First Emperor's heart was complicated.
But for Ying Cheng, he doesn't care about these messy things.
because.
Now.
This is where the real highlight begins.
Defeat the First Emperor!
"I just told the truth. If your Majesty doesn't want to hear the truth, just pretend that I didn't tell you."
"Whatever Your Majesty likes to hear, I will say whatever you want."
"Ah, Your Majesty is the emperor of the ages. He is the epitome of all ages. His achievements in the ages are unparalleled. He has unified the world and conquered the world."
"Ah, Your Majesty rules the world, and all the subjects in the world are submissive. The people of the world are extremely mindful of Your Majesty's achievements, and they are all grateful to Your Majesty."
Ying Cheng's eccentric hymn.
But the courtiers below were frightened.
Even a fool could tell that Ying Cheng was now mocking the First Emperor.
It is ironic that the First Emperor could not listen to the truth, but liked to listen to some propaganda.
These words.
The lethality is simply too great.
Li Si was sweating like rain, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
Feng Quji's head was stronger than a hoe when it hit the ground.
The stormy waves in Li Zhan's heart were eighteen feet high and could not be calmed down.
Fu Su Ya's eyes were wide open and he stared straight at Ying Cheng, wanting to step forward, grab Ying Cheng's collar and throw him out of the hall.
All the ministers in the court were almost scared out of their wits.
Since the first emperor succeeded to the throne.
No.
It should be more true that since there has been a king in the world, no one has ever ridiculed the king in front of the king in the court hall.
Ying Cheng's behavior is truly unprecedented and unprecedented.
However, so far, Ying Cheng still has no intention of giving up.
All the officials in the court were shocked.
Right in front of the First Emperor.
On the Yulong Bridge, Ying Cheng sang loudly and continued to marvel.
"Ah, your Majesty is unprecedented in ancient and modern times. There is only one emperor in all ages. The three emperors and five emperors are just mediocre. They can't compare with your majesty's achievements."
"Ah, His Majesty's wisdom and prowess cannot be discerned by the sun and the moon, nor can the heaven and earth be expressed."
"Ah, Your Majesty..."
finally.
The First Emperor completely exploded.
I don't know what the First Emperor picked up at random, and threw it at Ying Cheng hard.
"That's enough, bastard, shut up. If you say one more word, I will chop your head off!"
Crackling.
It was obvious that the First Emperor's accuracy was not very good, as the objects he threw hit the stone slab and broke into pieces.
This smash.
It hit the depths of the hearts of all the courtiers.
The courtiers had their heads stuck into their crotches.
And Yingcheng.
Looking at the crystal clear jade dragon stone, I felt deeply regretful.
If this thing is passed down to future generations as a family heirloom, it will be worth tens of billions.
'Why don't you throw the jade seal? If you throw it over, I will try my best to catch it!'
Ying Cheng felt silly in his heart and comforted himself. At this time, there was definitely no need for these unnecessary thoughts.
Facing the furious First Emperor.
Ying Cheng held on to the railing of the Yulong Bridge and almost broke the railing. He straightened his body and said with a relaxed smile:
"I haven't finished reading the Daqin treatise yet. Since the Zhongche Mansion Order can no longer be read and Your Majesty is not in the mood to read it, let me speak!"
With that said, Ying Cheng didn't care how angry the First Emperor was.
No matter how timid the courtiers are.
No matter how old Fusu kills him with his eyes.
Ying Cheng leisurely said:
"It's a pity. If the six countries had cared for their own people, they could have relied on their people to resist Qin."
"And in the future, some people may also lament that if His Majesty the First Emperor cherishes his people, then His Majesty the First Emperor's idea of spreading it to all generations can be realized. Who can destroy the Qin Dynasty?"
"The people of Qin have not had time to mourn the loss of their country. Our country, the Qin Dynasty, has already perished, and we can only leave it to future generations to mourn."
"I only hope that after our Qin Kingdom is destroyed, some emperor will be able to use the Qin Kingdom's demise as a mirror to alert himself."
"If we can't learn a lesson, we will have to let those who come later mourn us!"
Those who destroy the six kingdoms are the six kingdoms, not Qin. Those who belong to Qin are Qin, not the world!
Ying Cheng is in Hodgepodge.
From Essay on Passing the Qin Dynasty to Fu of Afang Palace!
The decline of the Qin Dynasty is thoroughly and clearly understood.
And Ying Cheng, in this era when the First Emperor was still alive, it was obviously very inappropriate, so he said it in front of the First Emperor in the Qin court.
Finished.
Ying Cheng did not forget to say: "Chen, it's finished."
"I beg your pardon. Today I have spoken without shame and my words were too violent. Please give me a piece of Bai Ling, your majesty."
"There is no need for your Majesty to grant death to an minister. If he leaves the palace and returns home, he will hang it on a beam to tell the people of the world. It is a big deal and cannot be done with such heart-wrenching remarks!"
Say it.
Ying Cheng finally couldn't hold on anymore and knelt down on the Yulong Bridge.
Fish Dragon Bridge.
This is a bridge where carps leap over the dragon's gate, and it is also a bridge of endless glory.
There is a legend in Da Qin.
Those who can cross the Fish-Dragon Bridge and approach the First Emperor should be regarded as ministers of the world.
In fact, it means that you are closer to the First Emperor, which means that you are an extremely popular minister and have unparalleled power.
Ying Cheng still couldn't cross it.
If you persist until the fight is over, it won't work anymore.
He could feel it clearly.
Ten feet away from him, there was a beast-like gaze staring at him.
Like a thorn on the back.
That is the pressure of being an emperor for eternity.
This was not a fantasy, he had repeatedly confirmed it in Tingwei's prison, and he believed from beginning to end that the First Emperor was just a high official, the largest official, but he was also a human being.
As long as he calms down.
Even if he accuses the First Emperor, he can definitely hold on until the third level.
After crossing the Yulong Bridge, scold Fang Qiu.
But.
When the real battle comes.
Ying Cheng found that he couldn't do it.
It really can't be done.
Regardless of his loud voice on the Yulong Bridge, his high-spirited appearance is enviable.
But no one you know.
Every time he said another word, the fear in his heart deepened. It was the fear of death.
He didn't want to, but he couldn't help it.
Even though he spent three full days planning and thinking carefully about any accidents he might encounter in the court.
He still couldn't help it.
'Pity!'
Ying Cheng sighed in his heart.
If he gives it a try today, he will lose.
The argument of dialectics is just the beginning, the stepping stone.
He knocked it open.
So he stepped onto the Fish-Dragon Bridge from beside it.
Putting himself to death and living again really shook the heart of the First Emperor.
The whole hodgepodge is for one purpose.
Shaking the wisdom of the First Emperor from ancient times to the present.
Because only by crushing a person's self-confidence can the Great Qin in his imagination be rebuilt.
He must also perform this step.
'Died in five years!'
Qin fans in later generations almost have a consensus.
If the throne of the First Emperor is passed to Fusu, the Qin Dynasty may be able to breathe, and there may be a situation like Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty.
Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, recuperating and recuperating may give Great Qin a chance to breathe and continue.
This is just a possibility, and history will certainly not repeat itself.
And this, some people often lament, if history repeats itself, even if the First Emperor lives ten more years, the situation of the Qin Dynasty will be completely new.
Even under the harsh Qin laws, the Qin Dynasty would not perish.
In fact, this is not the ability of the First Emperor to change the world.
Rather.
Under Qin's laws, the Qin people could survive for more than a hundred years, and the Qin State accumulated the heritage of six generations to dominate the world.
This is enough to prove the decisive historical status of Qin Fa.
In particular, Qin law has influenced China for two thousand years and has been used by later generations.
And this, the demise of Great Qin really comes down to a matter of time.
In the twenty-sixth year of the First Emperor's reign, the First Emperor destroyed Qi, unified the world, and proclaimed himself emperor.
It is now the thirty-second year, that is, in this short period of six years, the First Emperor has completed many things such as abolishing feudalism and establishing counties and counties, unifying weights and measures, writing books with the same text, and chariots with the same track.
Any one of these requires a lot of effort to complete.
And the First Emperor finished it together.
This is not the imperial grandfather he praised himself for.
But feel sorry for it.
Five years is too short to complete these things.
The First Emperor died.
If it fails, a mess will be left.
In another ten years, the First Emperor would have almost cleaned up this mess.
If a pig were allowed to become the emperor, the Qin Dynasty would not have perished in the second generation.
So much to say.
It was entirely because the First Emperor didn't have time.
He Yingcheng didn't have time either.
Therefore, he must rise to a level that can affect the situation of Qin at once.
And want to improve to this level.
This second step, confronting the First Emperor on the Yulong Bridge, is crucial.
undoubtedly.
He succeeded, with the First Emperor's eyes burning with anger, his angry expression, and his gnashing of teeth.
The First Emperor lost control of himself, and he succeeded.
But he didn't have the ability to go on.
At this moment.
Ying Cheng's heart is complicated and difficult to explain.
But for other people in the court.
But it was thunder.
Many people have forgotten where they are.
I feel like my body is no longer my own.
Ying Cheng's words roared in their minds over and over again.
But they are too numb to remember.
In fact, every sentence he said was too earth-shattering, shocking, and terrifying.
Every word is shocking to the world.
Don't say that long paragraph.
Even if they were asked to excerpt one sentence, they would not dare.
Every word is a capital crime of beheading.
Taken together, it is the crime of complicity, confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.
But I don't know why.
Li Si, who was kneeling at the front of the group of ministers and closest to Ying Cheng, stared at Ying Cheng's back, but felt a trace of... tragedy in his heart.
Feel the same!
"Please, Your Majesty, please give me a piece of white silk. You don't need to give it to me dead. I will leave the palace and go home, and hang it on the beam."
It's so tragic.
It was so tragic that it made him feel that what Ying Cheng had said before made sense.
This is a very strange feeling.
It's like a question that is clearly correct... You are confident and firm, and you are very sure that this question is wrong.
Because you are the genius in the class, so you said so confidently, so the teacher followed you and suspected that this question was wrong, not that you couldn't solve it.
And now, what Ying Cheng said is so... plausible.
The plausibility made him think... that it was them who were wrong and His Majesty the First Emperor who was wrong.
It seems like just in the blink of an eye.
The courtiers were polarized.
Most of the courtiers, including Fu Su and Feng Quji, were terrified and lying on the ground in fear, feeling that Ying Cheng had completely offended the First Emperor and would definitely die.
A few courtiers, including Li Si and Meng Yi, were suspicious in their hearts and confused in their eyes. They gradually frowned and stared at Ying Cheng and began to think.
Ying Cheng is a smart man, and a very, very smart man.
Why, such a smart person, denounced His Majesty the First Emperor in front of all the ministers of the court and in front of His Majesty the First Emperor?
unless.
Ying Cheng has something else to say that he hasn't said yet.
Just speaking out is enough to change your situation.
This is an extremely weird situation.
That is to say.
If the First Emperor was like most of the courtiers, he would not have thought of this and angrily ordered Ying Cheng to be beheaded.
Ying Cheng died.
But vice versa.
The First Emperor, like Li Si and others, had a contradictory mentality and wanted to explore something.
Ying Cheng can still continue!
So, what kind of person did the First Emperor belong to?
