One hundred and seventy second chapter powerful and powerful lose power
An old man with white beard and hair and Yu Liao, who looked a few years younger than him, claimed to be a late student. Wang Jian and others were not surprised by such a strange scene. Yu Liao seemed to be in his seventies, but his age was Wei Zhe
You know, I'm afraid it's at least one hundred and fifty. It can really be said that a person cannot be judged by his appearance. Xunqing is only over eighty years old, at least dozens of years younger than Yu Liao. He claimed to be a late-born in front of Yu Liao.
It’s really a reasonable thing!
Yu Liao stretched out his hand to lift him up, with a leisurely and elegant look in his eyes, as he sighed: "After all these years, are you still doing well now?" Xun Qing's name was Kuang, and everyone called him Qing, but
It is just an honorific title for him, which is also inseparable from the fact that he has served as an official many times in the past few decades, and even gradually served as an eunuch in Lanling, Chu State. If it were not for the death of Chun Shenjun Huang Xie later, I am afraid that Xun Xun would be the official now.
Qing is still serving as an official in Lanling in Chu State. With his reputation at this time, he should have already been worshiped by Qing as an official in Chu State.
After everyone greeted him, Xun Qing was quite excited when he saw Yu Liao. When he heard him talking to him, he suddenly said excitedly: "I haven't seen him for many years, but Yu Gong's demeanor is still the same. Kuang is old. I heard the news about Yu Gong.
I should have arrived in Xianyang earlier, but it is a pity that Kuang lives in the land of Lanling and has not arrived until now. I am late. Please forgive me, Duke Yu!" When Xun Qing saw Yu Liao, he was extremely respectful. In fact, Li Si didn't know much about Yu Liao.
Not much, and Xunqing knew Yu Liao a little better. Xunqing studied under Song Lin when he was young, and Song Lin had already had a relationship with Yu Liao when he was young. They were about ten years apart in age.
When he was 18 years old, Song Ren admired him very much. Xun Qing had met Yu Liao once in front of his master. He was very impressed. Based on Song Ren's age, he was born in the period of King Lie of Zhou Dynasty, which is almost the same time as King Xuan of Qi.
, and King Xuan of Qi has been dead for more than seventy years. Song Lin and King Xuan of Qi were born almost at the same time. Although he died after King Xuan of Qi, Xunqing once heard Song Lin say that Yu Liao was older than him.
In his late teens, if Song Lin's birth date had been counted up to now, it would already be one hundred and forty-fifty. But Yu Liao is still alive. Forget it now, Yu Liao is at least one hundred and fifty years old.
.
At that time, Yu Liao was already a close friend of Song Lin, and even Song Lin admired him very much. Xun Qing was influenced by his youth, and he was like a teacher and elder to Yu Liao. He would meet Yu Liao again many years later.
By that time, it was already decades later, when he had grown from a young boy to gray-haired. He had many disciples, and he was no longer the little disciple who followed Song Le. Even Song Le had been buried for a long time, but Xun Qing saw Yu Liao again.
At that time, I saw that he still looked the same as when I looked at him. Except for the wisdom and star-like feeling in his eyes, it almost seemed that time had not left any traces on him.
Xun Qing had great respect for Yu Liao because he was his disciple of Song Lin. Even at his age, he was no longer as unknown as he was back then. Even several of his apprentices are now very promising, except for Li Si and Han Fei.
In addition, there are Fuqiu Bo, Zhang Cang, etc., it can be said that there are many talents in the world, and many of them are outstanding. Xunqing's status is naturally different from before, but when he saw Yu Liao again, he did not dare to be negligent at all.
In addition to Xun Qing's strict character and emphasis on etiquette, there is another reason for this, which is because he respects and fears Yu Liao, which is related to his former teacher Song Lu and Yu Liao himself.
"It doesn't matter. Among Ziluo's disciples, only Zikuang was the most capable. That's right!"
As soon as Yu Liao said these words, Xun Qing's eyes suddenly lit up. Being praised by Yu Liao was as good to him as Song Le was praising him. Although Song Le passed away young, he had the utmost respect for Yu Liao.
, and considering Yu Liao's qualifications and age, what he said was well deserved! But when talking about Song Lin in the past, Xun Qing's eyes became a little sad, and he sighed: "I dare not accept Yu Gong's praise. It's a pity that my former teacher has passed away."
He has passed away, and his old man can no longer see the current scene." Song Le passed away decades ago. When he was alive, his reputation was very high, and even Meng Ke highly praised him.
The disciple of Mo Xia Mo Zhai originally possessed martial arts skills, but he did not expect that no matter how magnificent he was, he could not defeat the way of heaven, so he could not live past the age of a hundred.
"If Zi Lun has a spirit in heaven, I will be very happy about this." Yu Liao comforted Xun Qing. When Wei Zhe and others heard Zi Lun's name, they knew that he was talking about Song Lun, Xun Qing's teacher.
Song Lun was at the same time as Zhuang Zhou and others, and Yu Liao actually knew him, and it sounded like he and Song Lun were on equal terms. Calculating this, Yu Liao's age was unknown.
Everyone looked at each other and felt shocked. Although some people had always speculated about Yu Liao's age, once it was confirmed, everyone was involuntarily startled, and their expressions became more respectful when they looked at Yu Liao.
After a few words of greetings, a waiter came over to invite everyone to enter the palace and take a seat. The couches and tables had already been arranged. When Yu Liao and Xun Qing were talking just now, no one dared to disturb them. When they entered the main hall, they were greeted by the smell of barbecue.
It came to the nostrils. I don’t know what kind of spices were applied on it, but it was fragrant. Compared with the bland and tasteless boiled meat that they usually eat, this barbecue was obviously more attractive to everyone. Wang Ben took a deep breath and shouted at Zhang who was aside.
Liangxiao: "Fortunately, I didn't eat when the king summoned me. Otherwise, wouldn't I have missed such a feast?" What he said made people want to roll their eyes. If Zhang Liang, who was a powerful person in Korea, heard this, he would definitely
I felt that Wang Ben didn't understand etiquette, but when he heard what he said, he couldn't help but rub his belly: "It's a pity that Liang has already been used. What a pity!"
Zhang Liang is now married to Han Shuzi. His wife is so virtuous that she has prepared meals for him early. Fortunately, Zhang Liang has always believed in Wei Che's words and does not eat much on weekdays as a way to maintain his health.
Now that I have been in the palace for a while, I can eat some. Although this roasted lamb was not made by Ying Zheng, the spices sprinkled on it are actually some types of spices that were found on Ying Zheng's way back to Qin. According to the people in the palace,
After making the sauce, spread it on top. Once the oil is baked, everyone can't help but miss the aroma after eating it once. Because Ying Zheng made this sauce, no one dared to ask him what his secret recipe is.
What, and this thing is not easy to prepare, so except for Yu Liao who ate it once when he first arrived, he only ate it once later when he was entertaining Li Mu, which left everyone with a fragrant taste. They remembered it endlessly.
Now I eat it again, thanks to Xun Qing's blessing.
When Ying Zheng came out, everyone was already kneeling on the couch. There were about a dozen roasted sheep half as tall as a man standing in the hall. A waiter in gray clothes was half-kneeling around them, taking a brush and dipping them.
The sauce is brushed on the sheep. Every time the sauce is brushed, the fragrance becomes more and more intense. The oil dripping on the fire makes the fire burn brighter. The scene makes people's eyes straighten and saliva.
DC.
"Welcome the king! Long live the king! Long live the king!" Everyone knelt down one after another. Although Xu Fu was gone now, the slogan remained. Xia Wuge now received a formal official position. Although it was not big, because it was
Since he was born in Guigu, he is considered to be from Yingzheng's side. Therefore, he was naturally present at this banquet. When he heard everyone shouting this, he blushed fiercely and twitched the corners of his mouth. When Yingzheng called Pingsheng
, and then stood up with everyone.
"The government is pleased to have talented people today. Mr. Xun worked tirelessly to come to Xianyang from afar and is willing to share the worries of the government. I am very grateful. I am hosting this banquet today to welcome you. I will hold another banquet to welcome you in the future. I hope you will forgive me."
!" Ying Zheng stood on the high platform, and when he finished speaking, he rushed down and bent down. Xun Qing, who had also been an official for many years, immediately showed excitement on his face when he heard this, and kept saying "no".
Dare, he stepped aside and avoided this gift. When Ying Zheng saw this, he smiled slightly, and the bright bead string on his head swayed slightly with his movements. He took a bronze wine bottle from the table.
When the cup came, he raised it high and said to everyone: "There are no outsiders today. Please drink this cup to the full to celebrate this happy event!"
Everyone responded, got up from the ground, took the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp! The so-called fine wine at this time was almost always made from corn and other substances. The concentration of the wine was not very high, and it was not very intoxicating.
Unlike in later generations, various kinds of wine contained many things that were harmful to the human body, so even a man as old as Xun Qing drank it all in one gulp. When a waiter saw Ying Zheng put down the wine cup, he quickly took a dagger and cut the mutton.
Fang Zheng brought the pieces to everyone's table respectively. This time, as Ying Zheng said, the people he invited were almost all direct descendants of Meng Ao and others. There were no outsiders, so everyone was not restrained. Once it started
After eating and drinking, the whole person relaxed. Xun Qing could see clearly from the side, and was secretly stunned in his heart. He also saw that his two disciples looked relaxed. For some reason, he also showed a smile.
After three rounds of drinking, Ying Zheng looked at everyone in the venue drinking happily, with a smile on his lips. At this moment, a waiter from the backstage stood on tiptoes and looked down. Ying Zheng looked down.
When Zheng Zheng saw it, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he nodded slightly towards the audience. The waiter could see it clearly, and quickly twisted the hem of his skirt and took a small step towards the steps. Such a small scene
Everyone in the audience saw it, but everyone pretended not to see it. After the waiter approached Ying Zheng, he knelt down about five steps away from him and whispered something,
On the high platform, the waiter who was kneeling next to the table to divide the mutton for Ying Zheng staggered slightly when he heard the dagger, and struck the bronze plate with a loud sound. The waiter was sweating profusely and suddenly
He knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. A waiter came up from behind and dragged him down. In a moment, another waiter washed his hands and knelt down next to the table, replacing the previous waiter.
action.
"Everyone!" Ying Zheng raised his hand, and his large sleeves and robes blew out a strong wind with his movements. Everyone immediately put down their dishes in unison, and the place suddenly became quiet. For a while, the only thing that could be heard was the roar of the fire.
With the sound of the sound, and the occasional thin sound of oil droplets boiling on the fire, Ying Zheng looked at the audience, suddenly curved the corners of his mouth, and said in a low voice: "Unfortunately, Zhao Fengchang choked and died when he was eating in court today.
Death, the government cannot regret it." He said words of regret, but there was no discomfort on his face at all. Instead, there was a faint smile on his face, without any regret at all, and the gentle smile seemed to be ferocious.
Generally, Xun Qing's eyes showed a thoughtful look. He had just arrived and was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he sat there quietly like everyone else.
"Your Majesty, I would like to express my condolences. Zhao Fengchang has reached the end of his life. In addition, he took the elixir and was summoned away by the powerful. Your Majesty, you don't need to be sad, you should be happy!" Yu Liao stood up and bowed solemnly, and Meng Ao was immediately stunned.
The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. What happened to the elixir? Everyone was like a mirror. At this time, listening to Yu Liao's serious words, many people couldn't help but cough. Only Xun Qing didn't know what was going on.
Looking at Li Si aside, Li Si was the most obedient person. When he saw this scene, he quickly whispered a few words into Xun Qing's ear. After a while, the corners of Xun Qing's mouth also twitched as if they were confused.
Wei Zhe suppressed his laughter, stood up, and bowed his hands to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Yu said is absolutely true. This is a happy event for Zhao Fengchang, and it should be congratulated. Why should your Majesty feel sorry for it?" Everyone agreed in response.
, Ying Zheng thought for a moment. Then he made a look of sudden realization and nodded: "In that case, what you all said is true, and this is a great good. So I will reward Zhao Fengchang with two thousand gold. Use it for burial!" Even Ying Zheng was stunned!
He had already spoken. Nowadays, the power of the Qin Dynasty's dignitaries is not as good as before. Once the waiter passed the order, Zhao Fengchang's family was dumbfounded.
It was clear that the death of someone in the family was a great tragedy, and everyone was heartbroken. Unexpectedly, when the waiter passed down the call, he actually said that Ying Zheng thought this was a good thing, and actually offered a reward of two thousand. Zhao Fengchang's descendants immediately gritted their teeth.
, people took down the funerary objects that had just been hung in the mansion and replaced them with bright and festive curtains of various colors. Except for the descendants of Zhao Fengchang, everyone in the mansion even looked sad on the faces of the servants and children.
After that, his face changed into a smile in an instant. Zhao Fengchang's descendants knocked out their teeth and swallowed the blood. They endured the sadness in their hearts and buried their old father. Their hearts were bleeding with discomfort, but their faces were still full of pain.
He smiled happily, as if Zhao Fengchang had truly returned to bliss!
This old man who had repeatedly opposed Ying Zheng did not expect to endure it all his life, but finally died from the elixir. When Ying Zheng heard the news of his death, he was extremely happy. He already knew that the elixir could only be sold for a few dollars at most.
In the year, I am afraid that I can stop, so as soon as Zhao Fengchang died, another batch of pills were released. Zhao Fengchang's death seemed to have set off a series of chain reactions. First, Zhao Taibu drove
After Yun Gui returned, Zhao Fengchang choked on rice and died, and finally a powerful man died suddenly. In just four or five days, seven or eight people had died. At this time, no matter how stupid everyone was, they still felt a little bit confused.
Something is wrong. Many people even endure a day or two without taking the elixir. The feeling of heart-wrenching and scratching their livers is simply chilling. In addition, after two days without taking the elixir, the effect of the medicine is gone.
Well, when many people saw themselves in the bronze mirror, they were almost scared to death!
Those who had taken the elixir had dull eyes, black eye circles, and looked like they had lost too much yang energy. Their shapes were like ghosts, sinister and terrifying, and the swollen skin had disappeared and became loose.
The scene was so disgusting that many people were frightened to death when they saw this scene. When they thought about the recent deaths of Zhao Fengchang and other dignitaries in Xianyang City, many people became frightened. Many people began to feel frightened.
People began to think about finding a way to check their own situation. At this moment, no one suspected that they were poisoned after taking the elixir. However, at this time, some people thought of Xu Fu who first sold the elixir. At the beginning, everyone was listening.
I heard the nonsense about his elixir, and now that I have a problem with it, I naturally have to talk to the person who sold the medicine in the first place.
Unexpectedly, everyone had taken the medicine so early that they didn’t know what night it was. Now, once they stopped taking the medicine, Xu Fu had already been away for an unknown amount of time. At this time, everyone in the house was empty, and no one was seen anymore! Everyone
This was a great panic. Many people no longer cared about enjoying themselves at home, and everyone sent letters to the court asking Ying Zheng to find Xu Fu. Everyone was not stupid. They were just obsessed with the elixir before, but now
With their lives at stake, many people put their doubts on the pill. Especially after Xu Fu left, this suspicion seemed to be confirmed.
"Your Majesty, Xu Fu sells a large amount of elixirs. It's really abominable. I suspect that Zhao Fengchang, Zhao Taibu and others died from taking elixirs. I hope your Majesty will make the decision for you!" Once these people reacted, they all
Their eyes fell on Xu Fu, as if Xu Fu was their last savior. During this period, news of people dying suddenly after taking elixirs came from time to time, which made the powerful people in Xianyang City panic and uneasy.
Compared with the happiness of the common people in the city, the dignitaries were all like ghosts, scared out of their wits. They no longer dared to take pills and play with women at home every day. They all began to work hard and were extremely active when they went to court.
Forced Ying Zheng to capture Xu Fu.
At this time, everyone still didn't know that this elixir was incurable. Xu Fu had to find other ways to replenish his health after swallowing the elixir. If they knew this, I'm afraid everyone would be even more desperate! These people originally thought that they were
It was just like when the general power was at its peak, but now after the persecution, Ying Zheng ignored them. The power of these people has been almost completely controlled by Ying Zheng, and these powerful people no longer pose a threat to him. They are like this
The coercion was no longer as effective as before. Seeing that Ying Zheng didn't speak for a long time, the person who spoke was immediately frightened. He quickly stepped forward and said: "Please give me the king's order. Otherwise, I will hit the pillar here and die."
, Otherwise, if Xu Funa is allowed to harm others and gets away with it, I will not be able to see my ancestors after my death!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, there was a deathly silence in the palace, and everyone looked at him coldly. When Ying Zheng proposed to hold the imperial examination, Zhao Fengchang had bumped his head once. Unfortunately, he did not die at that time. Ying Zheng had no choice but to give up.
The idea of starting an imperial examination came to mind. Now things have changed. Zhao Fengchang has died. The influence of the Qin dignitaries is also much less than before. The royal power has been unprecedentedly controlled by Ying Zheng. Even his great-grandfather, King Qin Zhaoxiang, always wanted to do it, but finally failed.
Things that were not completely eradicated got a perfect ending in his hands. By this time, the powerful people of the Qin State had been abolished. Zhao Fengchang died, and the imperial examination was opened. Now that Xu Fu has run away, Yingzheng will use him to great effect. The powerful people
They didn't die on the same day, so what does it have to do with others if he dies? So after this man finished speaking, the place became silent, no one paid attention to him, many people even looked at him coldly, and no one tried to persuade this man.
He was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected such an ending, and was taken aback. The expression on his face changed from shock and embarrassment at the beginning, to panic and fear later.
Ying Zheng glanced at him lazily, with a smile on his face and a surly look in his eyes: "Since you are going to die, why should Zheng stop you? This is a good thing. You may not be able to see the immortal as soon as you die. This is what everyone hopes for."
What should we be afraid of now?" These people had always been in trouble with him in the past, and each of them only cared about themselves, regardless of the country's justice, and did not care about his life or death at all. They even discussed with Zhao Fengchang and others to abandon him and establish a clan in a few years.
Disciple, Ying Zheng knows all about this, how can there be room for such a person who harbors evil intentions? The man could hear the murderous intent in Ying Zheng's words, and his expression suddenly changed. He shook his head quickly and thought as he walked.
Step back, how can Ying Zheng tolerate this person to step back at this time? Today he will use this person to establish his authority, proving that the era of powerful people in the Qin Kingdom has long passed. The person sitting in the position now is him.
Rather than a world dominated by the rich and powerful!
"Take him away! Why don't you send him to see the gods and Buddhas in the sky!" Ying Zheng said this with a smile, and his expression made people shiver. Under the steps, soldiers wearing iron armor were already ready, like wolves.
The tiger's pounce was about to come up, and the man who had stood up to let Ying Zheng capture Xu Fu suddenly changed his face. He quickly stepped back and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you are confusing right and wrong. Does your Majesty want to
Is it possible to deliberately kill the minister? I am also a descendant of the Qin royal family and the son of a prince. How dare you, the king, kill your own flesh and blood?" The man shouted, but the soldier holding him dragged him out of the palace.
His feet dragged out a long trail. The man was so frightened that he lost control and sprinkled water all the way, which was very eye-catching in the palace. Ying Zheng rested his hands on the desk, with a smile on his face, and the palace was extremely quiet.
Just listening to the man's loud shouts, after a while, the man's figure was dragged to the front of the palace door. Ying Zheng smiled and said: "You said before that you died by hitting a pillar, otherwise you would not have the face to meet your ancestors. Now Zheng is just fulfilling your wish.
How can you talk about having disabled limbs?" As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the man was dragged outside. After a while, the sound of a sword being unsheathed was heard, followed by another extremely shrill scream.
, and finally everything calmed down.
I was not able to see with my own eyes the scene when the man died, but the sound of the sword being unsheathed and the scream when he was about to die were enough to make people imagine. Without seeing it, it would be even worse than seeing it with my own eyes.
