Hu Hai never expected that Hu Wujing would come up with a plan to draw out the firepower. If Kong Yu was really in the main hall of Xianyang Palace, under his nose, in front of more than a hundred people from various sects, he would be killed.
If the nine important officials of Great Qin were killed, then Hu Hai's fusion plan would go bankrupt.
Fortunately, Hu Wujing was already old, but Kong Yu was still a little far away from him. Yingyi intercepted Hu Wujing before Hu Wujing could reach Kong Yu, and simply dropped the sword in his hand.
When Li Si saw that Hu Wujing was stopped by Ying Yi, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a look of extreme disappointment. He had failed to calculate Hu Wujing's age despite all his calculations.
Wei Liao had been watching everything in the field silently. When he saw Li Si's expression, he sighed sadly and lowered his eyes.
When Meng Tian and Zhang Han heard Hu Hai's order, they originally wanted to take action, but Ying Yi beat them to it. Now they could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Hu Wujing being stopped.
Hu Hai did not pay attention to the reactions of the important officials of Qin Dynasty. He was really angry at this time.
Hu Wujing was also a master who would not give up until he achieved his goal. When the accessories in his hand were snatched away by Yingyi, he actually lost his head and turned around to grab Zhang Han's sword.
Hu Hai's anger, which had dissipated slightly when he saw Hu Wujing being stopped, suddenly flared up again, and he said angrily: "Win a Yi, I told you to take him down. Didn't you hear?"
The suppressed anger in his words could be heard by anyone.
"Here!" Ying shivered when he heard Hu Hai's voice, and was about to step forward to catch Hu Wujing.
"Wait a minute!" Li Si shouted hurriedly, "Your Majesty, Mr. Hu is also worried about our country in the Qin Dynasty, so he would do such a transgression. I hope that Your Majesty, for the sake of Mr. Hu who only cares about your Majesty's country, will not overstep his bounds.
sin!"
Li Si was very good at evading the serious and taking the easy, and he easily attributed Hu Wujing's behavior to the crime of transgression. To these important officials of the Qin Dynasty, transgression was not a big deal, and it was far less serious than later generations.
Yingyi heard Li Si's delay, hesitated for a moment, and then stopped.
At this time, Hu Wujing also heard the emperor's suppressed anger from Hu Hai's words. He was very wise and did not continue to take Zhang Han's sword. He fell to the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, please allow me to kill this thief. As long as I can do it for you."
Your Majesty, if you want to kill this thief, why not cut him into pieces with a thousand swords?"
Hu Wujing's words made Hu Hai amused.
Damn it, you want to ruin my brother's big things, but you still pretend to be a sheep and buy a dog. You say it in a high-sounding way. Is it possible that I should thank you?
"So I still want to thank Hu Aiqing?" Hu Hai said with a smile, his eyes cold.
"I don't dare to..."
"What are you afraid of? If you win, do you want me to say it again?" Hu Hai suddenly interrupted Hu Wujing's words, and there was no trace of smile on his face at this moment. After speaking, he stopped looking at Hu Wujing and looked coldly.
His eyes were fixed on Li Si who was about to open his mouth.
Just when Li Si raised his head and was about to defend Hu Wujing again, he saw Hu Hai's cold eyes staring directly at him, full of murderous intent. Li Si was speechless when he spoke, and then he lowered his head silently and knelt down respectfully again.
land.
At this moment, Ying Yi had already brought Long Xuan, and Long and Di took Hu Wujing, who was kneeling on the ground, into custody.
The battle between Hu Hai and Li Si was decided in just a short moment, all in the eyes of Hu Wujing, who was already in custody.
But he didn't worry too much about himself. He knew that even if Li Si retreated now, it didn't mean that he would give up on him. What's more, he didn't think that Hu Hai would kill him. So he stopped talking and waited silently for Hu Hai to say something.
"Detain him and try again at another date!" Hu Hai turned his head and said.
"Here!" Yingyi led Long Xuan and Long Di and escorted Hu Wujing out of the hall.
"Li Aiqing and others, please be freed. I have decided on this matter, no need to remonstrate anymore!" Hu Hai did not look at Hu Wujing who was taken away, but said calmly to Li Si and others who were still kneeling in the lobby. He turned around and looked at
Kong Yu, who was still in shock, said, "Everyone is shocked!"
Kong Yu quickly saluted Hu Hai and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Next to him, Li Si stood up first and silently returned to his seat to sit down. Then he also imitated Wei Liao and closed his eyes slightly. Until the end of the banquet, Li Si remained like an old monk in trance without saying a word.
"Everyone, are you willing to serve me, Great Qin, and prepare to build this academy for me?" Hu Hai ignored Li Si and others.
Kong Yu was about to speak in response, but Zhuang Ren, who had never spoken next to him, spoke first at this time.
"Zhuang Ren dares to ask your majesty, if today we and other people from hundreds of families are unwilling to serve the Qin Dynasty and are not willing to build this academy for your majesty, what will your majesty do with us?"
As soon as Zhuang Ren's words came out, needles could be heard in the hall, as if even breathing had stopped.
Hu Hai's eyes suddenly shrank when he heard Zhuang Ren's words, and he looked at Zhuang Ren closely. He did not expect that Zhuang Ren, who had never spoken enigmatically, would ask such a pointed question at this time.
Zhuang Ren looked at the aloof Hu Hai without fear.
As his mind raced, Hu Hai watched Zhuang Ren spit out four words: "Kill them all!"
These four words were clearly audible in the silent hall. No one expected Hu Hai to speak so directly.
Hu Hai said it very calmly, but it hit the hearts of more than a hundred people from various sects in the hall like a heavy hammer. Some people even couldn't help but exclaimed, but then they reacted and quickly covered their heads.
mouth.
These four simple words contained endless coldness and murderous intent, making the already sweltering hall feel like it was entering the cold winter.
Meng Tian and other important officials of the Qin Dynasty were also shocked when they heard the four words "Hu Hai". Li Si's originally drooped eyes suddenly trembled when he heard these four words, and then returned to calm, as if he had an illusion.
Zhuang Ren, who had been looking at Hu Hai, heard the four words uttered from Hu Hai's mouth. His pupils suddenly condensed, and then his eyes filled with joy. Hu Hai, who had been observing him, almost thought that his eyes were dazzled.
"Haha. Your Majesty is indeed Your Majesty. Your Majesty, Zhuang Ren of the Mo family, pays homage to Your Majesty!"
Zhuang Ren suddenly laughed loudly and prostrated himself on the ground.
Everyone's brains were short-circuited by Zhuang Ren's sudden appearance.
Kong Yu was worthy of being a seasoned veteran. He rolled his eyes and understood immediately. He cursed Zhuang Ren in his heart for being fake (of course there was no such word at that time). He quickly followed and prostrated himself in the tunnel: "
My Confucian disciple Kong Yu pays homage to Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
The flattery was so loud. What Kong Kun thought was actually quite simple. Zhuang Ren, the pretentious brother, had already caught the emperor's attention before him, but he had been going against the emperor before. This
If you don't save some impression points quickly when the time comes, you will get less benefits later.
It has to be said that Kong Yu is quite capable of adapting to the changing circumstances.
The Confucian and Mohist families were originally the most powerful among the hundreds of schools. Even Kong Yu and Zhuang Ren had already directly followed. Although the other Baijia people still didn’t understand why Zhuang Ren had to surrender immediately after asking that question.
I am a professed minister, but no one is stupid.
"Your Majesty, please pay homage to Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
Hu Hai was slightly startled when he saw people from hundreds of schools and sects paying homage to him in just a short moment.
This is so dramatic!
Hu Hai secretly said with some malice, "Zhen Ni Ma is just being shameless. He told you to obey me, but Du Ni Ma dragged you one by one like 2,580,000 yuan. As soon as he heard that brother wanted to kill you all, Ni Ma immediately
It withered.
If we had to use one word to describe this in later generations, it would only be "cheap"!
Hu Hai shuddered when he thought of the word mean, then grinned and said: "Okay, okay! You all love me!"
Although Hu Hai thinks that way, he knows that the truth is definitely not what he thought. But now that his goal has been achieved anyway, he is too lazy to think about it because he will have to face people who are more stubborn and powerful than these hundreds of families later.
A hundred times Li Si et al.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When all the people from the hundreds of families stood up and sat down, Hu Hai raised his glass and said to everyone in the hall: "All of you, my dear friends, will be ministers of the same palace from now on. They are all the pillars of our great Qin. Should we put aside the discord of the past? Come, dear friends, we will all stand up and sit down."
How about drinking this cup with me and letting go of your grudges with a smile?"
"I obey the order!"
Regardless of whether you like it or not, at least at this moment, there is a scene of harmony in this hall.
"Your Majesty, the top priority is to put an end to the chaos among the survivors of the Six Nations as soon as possible! The survivors of the Six Nations who have moved to Guanzhong have all contacted us. When I go back today, I will immediately order someone to hand over to Your Majesty the letters from the survivors of the Six Nations contacting us.
I will do my best to unify the world for Your Majesty."
Now that he had resigned from Hu Hai, Kong Kun's position changed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, he had sold out the survivors of the Six Kingdoms of Guanzhong who had contacted him before, and submitted a letter of surrender to Hu Hai.
Although this kind of behavior is very shameful, it cannot but be said that this is the way to survive and the way to be a minister.
The rest of the hundreds of people from various sects cursed secretly in their hearts when they heard Kong Kun's words, and hurriedly came forward to express their loyalty, and all wanted to hand over the letters contacting the surviving families of the six countries.
"My dear friends, I am very pleased that you can be so considerate of our Great Qin. However, I think these letters can be destroyed. There is no need to mention the past. I believe that all your dear friends will be loyal to our Great Qin in the future.
As for the remnants of the Six Nations in Guanzhong, I have my own arrangements, so you dear ones don’t have to worry."
Hu Hai didn't want these certificates of nomination. Now people from hundreds of families wanted to show their loyalty and were hot-headed, so they handed them over, but he couldn't ask for them. If they accepted them, they would be a handle. Maybe they would regret it tomorrow.
Because these things are in their hands, they will always kneel down. Will they kill the donkey and settle accounts in the future? What's more, he has never paid attention to the survivors of the Six Kingdoms in Guanzhong.
So it is better to just pretend that this is not the case, let people from hundreds of schools and factions deal with it on their own, and let these people serve Da Qin wholeheartedly.
Zhuang Ren originally frowned when he heard that Kong Yu was about to hand those letters to Hu Hai. Now when he heard Hu Hai's words, he couldn't help but said sincerely: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Kong Yu was not stupid. As soon as he said the words, he thought of the inappropriateness of doing so and immediately regretted it. At this moment, Hu Hai did so and he was immediately grateful. He then said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, you are wise!
"Haha, you two dear ones don't have to be like this. In that case, I will give you two more gifts today." Hu Hai said with a smile.
"I must not dare!" Kong Yu and Zhuang Ren said quickly.
"We'll wait until you all see me and decide whether to accept it or not. If you win, bring me the things I brought back from Shangfang."
Unexpectedly, Ying Yi ran in from outside the hall and saluted Hu Hai,
"Your Majesty, I have something urgent to report!"
