Chapter 368 Let Meng Yi take the pot
After saying this, Meng Yi knew that the relationship between his clan and other old Qin nobles would be difficult to get along in the future. There was nothing he could rely on except Ying Gao.
Meng Yi's determination was very incredible to Feng Quji, Xiao He and others. He did not plead for these old Qin nobles who had the same identity as him. This was really something he could do.
"Since that's the case, the matter will be left to the Taiwei to handle it. How about it?"
After hearing Meng Yi's words, Ying Gao squinted his eyes and asked again. Even the few people next to him felt the aggressive momentum in Ying Gao's words. If this matter was really left to Meng Yi to do, it would be cut off the only bond between him and the old Qin nobles. In this way, Meng Yi would only leave a bad reputation in the hearts of the old Qin people.
"Yi, please follow the orders of the emperor!"
When Meng Yi had already made a decision when he expressed his thoughts before, he was thinking in his heart that if he wanted to blame, he could only blame them for not knowing what contentment meant. Their obviously turned Ying Gao and Da Qin's court into their ATMs. Once the policy was cut off their way to make money, the anger in their hearts suddenly became nowhere to rest, and eventually became resentment towards Ying Gao. Then, it developed into this.
Although Meng Yi also knew that the leader of the Cao clan might have been regarded as a gun by his so-called Korean disciple, he made the decision himself. Now that he failed, he naturally had to bear the consequences himself.
"But I still have several opinions on this matter, and I hope the Grand Marshal can obey it!"
Isn't this the end?
Ying Gao said this a little as if he was chasing Meng Yi. Even Feng Quji, who was standing in front, grinned, but he didn't say anything after all. Although Feng Quji had a little closer to Ying Gao, he was not the most trusted person in the court forever.
What he wanted to remind Ying Gao was that he must stop at Meng Yi. He thought that Ying Gao had objections to Meng Yi because of the previous dispute between Meng Yi and the Zhu family, so he kept forcing Meng Yi to take the team.
Even Xiao He, who was standing here as a very pure bystander, felt that Ying Gao asked Meng Yi to do this this time, which was indeed a little cruel for Meng Yi. If the Zhu family or Xiao He did this, it would be a problem, and it would be natural. However, if it fell on Meng Yi, many old Qin nobles who had respected the Meng family very much before would not be the case from this time.
"Please make it clear."
At this time, Meng Yi's face turned redder. Obviously, he felt very uncomfortable with Ying Gao's pressure.
"Taiwei, according to the description on the bamboo slip, these people are just the behavior of the patriarchs of each family. I think it must be unrelated to many people in the clan. The Taiwei is still suffering a little. Don't kill all the three tribes of everyone in this matter. This may make my old Qin nobles completely disappointed! Those who find out that they are related to this matter will be killed outside the Xianyang City Club ten days later. Those who do not know about this matter and follow our Great Qin etiquette and Qin laws will be temporarily exempted from punishment. However, if there are any other people in these families who do this, the Taiwei will personally kill the three tribes!"
Another village is bright and bright!
Yes, Meng Yi now feels like another village. These tribe leaders who signed the letters on it must have died. What he had been a little unbearable before was that there were a large number of women and children among these families. If the three tribes were killed, Meng Yi could say without hesitation that the day the execution was performed outside the market in Xianyang City.
But in Meng Yi's opinion, as long as the Qin Rule involves rebellion, it is necessary to kill the three clans. It is really beyond Meng Yi's expectation that Ying Gao was able to make such a decision. Although he didn't know if it was because these people were the nobles of the old Qin Dynasty that Ying Gao made such a decision, but this was exactly the result he wanted to get.
When he had promised Ying Gao so much, Meng Yi kept standing in front of Ying Gao with his head down, but this time, Meng Yi fell to the ground and gave Ying Gao almost the greatest gift.
Of course, Ying Gao knew Meng Yi’s current mood. In fact, when he just read the bamboo slips, Ying Gao’s heart was really angry. He had almost sentenced everyone in these families to death, because this matter is different from other matters, and the matter involved is his life.
And at the beginning, Ying Gao really wanted to take the opportunity to make Meng Yi take off the cloak of the old Qin nobleman on him, because this group was almost on Ying Gao's blacklist, and killing the three tribes of these people was only the first step.
But after calming down, Ying Gao suddenly realized that if he really did that, he seemed to be getting closer and closer to the direction of the First Emperor. He came to this era and became the emperor of the Qin Dynasty. He was to transform this era and bring advanced ideas and rich material and cultural life to this era.
He thought of the era he came to. No matter which country it was, there was nothing like killing the three clans. What's more, these people were not Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, so they really couldn't be treated the same way, right?
So Ying Gao gradually became a little soft-hearted. Indeed, those people still have a relatively good past. Whenever the royal family in the Qin Dynasty had any difficulties, they would really support it. For this reason, if all three tribes were killed, or even some ignorant children were directly dragged down to the market and chopped them, it was not Ying Gao's style.
"Yi, we must carefully identify and kill all those in these families who violated the new policy of the king and did not repent, and widely publish their sins among the old Qin nobles. After this matter, Yi promised the king that there would be no such rebellious person among the old Qin nobles. If there were any, I would like to be the same as him!"
As he said this, Meng Yi's excited expression was something that Ying Gao had never seen before. He knew that after his tightness and looseness, Meng Yi would definitely buy his own account in this matter, and he would definitely eliminate all the suspects. The purpose of this is to let some people who are also dissatisfied with Ying Gao take a good look at what the current form is.
And Meng Yi knew that doing this was not to kill the old Qin nobles, but to save them. If the assassination was not discovered in the end, then one day when they were found by Ying Gao after several assassination failures, they were afraid that all the old Qin nobles would be finished, and it was hard to say what the Meng family could do.
"Okay, after going back today, the Taiwei began to investigate the matter. When he was executed on these people ten days later, he would publicly announce the matter in Xianyang City. Before killing these people, he could issue a manifesto, saying that I would recruit talented people from all over the world to enter Xianyang City and even Xianyang Palace in the future. As for the assassins, they would not kill me!"
"Your Majesty, wise!"
With these words, this rich day can finally be considered the end.
Ying Gao hasn't experienced such a complicated day for a long time. Chen Ping, Peng Yue, and Assassin. These three people actually arrived. Ying Gao sometimes feels very magical when he thinks about it.
Moreover, this assassination made Ying Gao understand more and more. No matter how awesome the history of his evaluation of himself is, or almost all the people in the world worship him as gods, but the Central Plains is too big. After all, there are some people who are not satisfied with him, and are dissatisfied to the limit, just wanting to die.
Alas, I can't be so high-profile in the future. Otherwise, what if I was shot to death by someone one day? Maybe I will go back to my previous life if I shot to death. Haha, I opened my eyes and found out that I had a dream. But Ying Gao really didn't know that if this was really a dream, I would rather not want this dream to wake up...
In Xianyang three days later, people did not know that such a big assassination happened in the Xianyang Palace court that day. What they talked about most was Chen Ping, who was known as the second Lu Jia, who was about to enter the Xianyang Palace court on this day and accept the official position appointed by Ying Gao.
Chen Ping was just a poor scholar before, and he took his own boxes of bamboo slips to and from the old land of the Wei Kingdom and outside Hangu Pass, promoting the Huang-Lao skills he learned.
The original Qin Dynasty was a topic that the people would never want to raise, because it had nothing to do with them. Now, this situation is obviously gone forever. First, there was Lu Jia and then Chen Ping, and their origins were not from famous families, especially Chen Ping. People in his hometown were shocked because the kid was quite poor when he was a child. No one expected that he would enter the Qin Dynasty's court directly at this age and become the highest-level official.
Chen Ping was also very nervous. Early in the morning, someone came from Xianyang Palace and brought him a decent set of official uniforms. However, he could not tell from the official uniforms what official position he was, so he could only follow the imperial guards and hurried into the Qin court.
The court that appeared in Chen Ping's eyes this time was different from the previous one. This was a serious court appearance. Not only should the dress be different from the last time I saw it, but the curiosity, envy or disdainful gazes cast by the officials at Chen Ping made Chen Ping feel breathless.
Fortunately, when Ying Gao spoke, almost all of everyone's attention was diverted to Ying Gao, and Chen Ping was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
After all the long court routines were over, Ying Gao finally found Chen Ping who was standing among the crowd, who was a little uneasy, and then spoke.
"Three days ago, I conducted a test for twenty well-educated people who taught in our Great Qin territory here. In the end, Chen Ping stood out among the twenty people, and now Chen Ping takes office as the Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty!"
After Chen Ping thanked him, there was no other words, and the court ended this time.
Shangshu Ling was not a very dazzling official position in the Qin Dynasty. It was the subordinate of the Shaofu among the nine ministers. But what Chen Ping didn't know was that the task of the entire Shangshu Ling was to pass on the documents of the Shaofu and some central orders. It was a typical official position with light positions but great power. Moreover, Shangshu Ling was probably directly responsible to Ying Gao. In this way, it was obviously not possible for a small Shaofu officials to explain it.
After walking out of Xianyang Palace with a confused look on his face, Chen Ping found that his partner in Ying Gao's mouth was also Lu Jia, who was considered by everyone to be like him, was waiting for him.
According to Lu Jia, Ying Gao had already rewarded Chen Ping with a mansion, which was quite close to Lu Jia's mansion, but the location was not very good. Lu Jia took Chen Ping to his mansion today at Ying Gao's order. Ying Gao was busy with government affairs, so he would not see him in the past few days.
Chen Ping thought that it would be quite normal for Ying Gao to be busy with government affairs and not meet him, but what he didn't know was that Ying Gao was really busy with government affairs this time, otherwise he would really want to chat with Chen Ping alone and see how the goods in his belly could be compared with Lu Jia.
Isn’t Ying Gao busy with this assassination?
Although I gave all the specific investigations to Meng Yi, it was a huge matter, and it was not possible for the people in Xianyang City to know about it within ten days, so Meng Yi almost ran into Ying Gao's hall every day.
Whenever there is any new progress, you must let Ying Gao know that it is not. Moreover, for some people who are a little undecided, he still has to leave it to Ying Gao to decide in person. It is one thing for the emperor to give you face, but if you take your own face too seriously, it is another matter.
After these three days, the matter has been investigated almost exactly, almost as Ying Gao imagined. Basically, the patriarchs of several families were under the instigation and instigation of the Cao clan leader, and he was quite dissatisfied with Ying Gao, so he signed this covenant. Of course, the price was their lives.
But there is one thing that Meng Yi didn't expect at all. In these families, there are all cases of disobeying Ying Gao's new policy. Even though Lu Jia has dealt with many people, many of them still do not repent, which makes Meng Yi a little confused about how to do it.
