Chapter 369 I am not afraid of assassination

The reason why Ying Gao did not go to see Chen Ping on this day was because Meng Yi had already told Ying Gao that he had important things to discuss with him.

After the court, Meng Yi followed Ying Gao to his side hall. This time it was rare for Meng Yi to have only the meeting between the king and the minister, rather than the people like Xiao He or the Zhu family around them. Under their gaze, Meng Yi always felt that he was being monitored, and with them present, Meng Yi always felt that he was not Ying Gao's confidant.

"Taiwei, I have left all the assassination matters to you. If there is anything wrong, the Taiwei can decide."

Obviously, in Ying Gao's heart, Meng Yi seemed to be a little too cautious about this matter. He felt that Meng Yi should let go. Of course, Ying Gao also wanted to see from Meng Yi's performance of letting go, what kind of attitude Meng Yi had towards him or the old Qin nobles.

"Your Majesty, if any person involved or who is familiar with the matter is killed without mercy, this matter has become a foregone conclusion. Yi will definitely not let anyone go. However, when investigating this matter today, Yi found that since the king did not focus on the implementation of the new policy, some nobles with a little courage began to violate the new policy again. And according to what the king said before, this has violated Qin's laws. I am afraid it is inappropriate to deal with this matter... I am afraid it is wrong to deal with it?"

Ying Yinggao knew what was going on when he heard this. Meng Yi obviously discovered something that had nothing to do with assassination. If he had made a one-size-fits-all approach, he would be afraid that both sides would not please him, so he came to Yinggao.

Ying Gao sighed in his heart. He knew that Meng Yi was not afraid of barefoot like the Zhu family because of the whole family behind him, the old and young. If the Zhu family encountered such a situation, they could have glared at each other. Who do you care about you? I will have to mess with you if you commit a crime, but Meng Yi will not do it. If he now makes trouble, it will be difficult for him to lose his descendants and be messed with you in more than ten years.

After thinking a little bit from the perspective of others, Ying Gao could understand it. Indeed, he asked Meng Yi to investigate the assassination of the emperor. If other matters that violated other Qin laws were dealt with together, it would be a bit suspicious of revenge in the eyes of outsiders. Because of the assassination of the emperor, it would be necessary to say that he would definitely die.

"Taiwei, I will issue an edict immediately. Once other problems are found in the families related to this matter, the Taiwei will handle them together. As for how to deal with it, it depends on the Taiwei."

Ying Gao did not take over the problem that Meng Yi had thrown over. By this time, Meng Yi was already very clear about Ying Gao's thoughts. In this matter, there would be no shadow of a second person, and there would be no second person's intervention. All decisions must be decided by Meng Yi himself. If you want power, I can give it to you, but if you have to share the burden, it is absolutely impossible.

After hearing this, many possibilities emerged in Meng Yi's heart, but in the end, he chose to believe in one of them, that is, Ying Gao did this to make him truly become Ying Gao's confidant, a confidant like the Zhu family and Xiao He, and this matter may be his confession.

"Yi, please follow the emperor's will!"

"Okay! The Grand Marshal just let go. When he gets the day of execution, I will go to the market to supervise and cheer up the Grand Marshal!"

Ying Gao's words boosted Meng Yi's spirit. It was a very critical time when the execution was executed. If Ying Gao could go to the execution ground at this time, it would be completely possible for the people of Xianyang City to see that this matter was actually led by Emperor Ying Gao of the Great Qin, not by Meng Yi. Obviously, Ying Gao did not want to push Meng Yi to the opposite side of the old Qin nobles.

"Thank you!"

Finally, after finally being excited, Meng Yi strode out of Ying Gao's hall. Looking at Meng Yi walking out, Ying Gao couldn't help but breathe. He knew that he still had to practice diligently in the art of controlling the art. Meng Yi is a talent, but he does have his weaknesses. All he had to do was to take a small whip and whip it from time to time. This is true for Meng Yi, and naturally for others, but the place where he sucked was not too the same.

In the next seven days, Meng Yi did not disappoint Ying Gao. He did not appear in Ying Gao's court once. Obviously, all the decisions during this period were made by him. Seven days later, Meng Yi appeared in Ying Gao's side hall again.

After Meng Yi arrived this time, he handed Ying Gao a bamboo slip directly. When he opened it, he saw that the family and personnel involved in this incident were exactly the ones involved in the family.

Meng Yi marked all the reasons for the execution or exile, and even the reasons for the innocence of guilt.

As for those whom Meng Yi came to ask about it, who violated Qin's law because of other matters, except for those with particularly minor circumstances, they were also sentenced to death by Meng Yi. Meng Yi also explained next to him, that is, to alert other old Qin nobles not to make the same mistake again.

Obviously, Meng Yi at this time should have known what it means to cheat them and what it means to truly save them.

"Okay! I copied the contents on this bamboo slip, and added the explanation of my assassination this time, and pasted it in Xianyang City. In addition, the county magistrates of the Qin Dynasty also sent a copy to teach them to promote in their counties."

"Your Majesty, do you really need to let the people of Qin know this on such a large scale? Once the people who rebel against Qin are among the people, wouldn't it be..."

Meng Yi was a confidant of the First Emperor before, and the young mansion of the Qin Dynasty. Of course, he knew how strong the First Emperor was, but even if he was assassinated by the First Emperor, he was unwilling to let the news be announced after so many assassinations. He believed that his assassination was a loss of his face. But now Ying Gao obviously didn't think so.

"Hmph, even if the anti-Qin forces that still exist, I am not afraid of assassination, but also let the people of my Qin know that I am not afraid of assassination. If you want to live a good life in the Qin Dynasty, there is only one way to choose, that is, surrender to me and move forward according to the rules set by me!"

In front of Meng Yi, Ying Gao rarely said such tough words. This made Meng Yi's head feel a little hot, as if he had returned to his twenties and killed the enemy on the battlefield.

He had to admire that Emperor Ying Gao was so passionate. As soon as the proclamation came out, so many people were killed in Xianyang City. It is conceivable that the assassination was of course not a good thing, but Meng Yi suddenly discovered that this bad thing that had already happened was almost a good thing to enhance his power.

Just one day later, huge notices appeared directly on the walls of the streets and alleys of Xianyang City. People originally thought that Ying Gao was going to select some talents, but when they saw it, they took a breath.

Suddenly, the people in Xianyang City thought that there was one person missing when they watched the school exam before, and then they suddenly realized that this person was actually an assassin and had been taken down by the emperor in the court. No wonder they didn't come out.

Later, when I saw a lot of lists and punishments attached to it, the people were even more upset. In their words, this matter is really very detailed and terrifying.

"The manipulator behind this scene turned out to be the leader of the Cao clan?"

"It's really hard to draw bones when painting people, but it's hard to know people's face but not the heart! This Cao family has been very good to them since the First Emperor. Although the emperor killed the previous counselor, if he did not use the new policy of the emperor to harm us, how could he end up like this? It's really his own fault and his own fault!"

"That's right, the wise king of the Great Qin Dynasty is really the once-in-a-century wise king. If it were any of the monarchs of the seven kingdoms before, who would have completed the exam that day after being assassinated?"

"Not bad! You are really a brave and wise man. We are born under the rule of the Emperor. We are really lucky in the three lives!"

These are the reactions of the people of Xianyang City after seeing this manifesto, and they will also be the reactions of the people of the entire Qin Dynasty after seeing this manifesto.

This is exactly the effect Ying Gao wanted to achieve. Through the interrogation of the assassin and the head of the Cao clan for the past ten days, Ying Gao had completely understood that the Korean disciple who escaped in the chaos must have been a senior anti-Qin world.

Although the assassin suffered torture, he still did not tell his true identity. However, just because they were Koreans, Ying Gao also knew that this matter was inseparable from Zhang Liang.

What does this mean? This shows that Xiang Yu and Zhang Liang are still unwilling to give up on the Qin Dynasty. Since the defeat of the Huns were abolished, they should have the will but lack the ability to do so.

But that doesn't matter. They can go around in a circle. Just like this assassination, they can use the least manpower and material resources to fight for the best effect. Even if they fail, they will only lose an excellent assassin, although Ying Gao knew that there might not be too many excellent assassins.

The Korean disciple ran away, but one thing is that the reason why he could easily let his companions enter the Qin court so easily was because he had settled the Cao clan leader. If it were not for the Cao clan's arrangement for them, they would probably not even be able to come in Xianyang City.

This is exactly the purpose of Ying Gao's announcement of the manifesto, which is to let everyone in the Qin Dynasty know that opening up a passage for the assassin is only a dead end. If there is a next time, Ying Gao believes that they will not be able to find a fool like the Cao clan to cooperate with them.

The manifesto clearly stated that those insiders related to this assassination, as well as those who violated Qin's laws, were found to be killed in the same time as this assassination. There were nearly a hundred people who needed to be killed. Although those families were not killed in the three clans, almost all the core of the family would be lost in this clearance.

Moreover, with Meng Yi's mediation, even with such a result, the remaining people in the family would have to kneel down and be grateful to Ying Gao. After all, if Ying Gao really spoke to them strictly, the bamboo slips found in the back garden of the head of the Cao clan could destroy all the families above. This result was undoubtedly the result of Meng Yi and Ying Gao's plea.

According to the abbreviation in the manifesto, in another five days, in the most lively place in Xianyang City, nearly 100 people are about to behead, and the method used is not very cruel, just beheading.

He killed nearly a hundred people in Xianyang City at one time, and almost all of them were the old Qin nobles who were powerful in the past. This made the people of Xianyang City vaguely feel that the current Qin Dynasty does not talk about anything else, but only talks about Qin's laws. If you violate it, you will violate it, no matter who you are.

Just as this news gradually fermented in Xianyang City and other places in Daqin, Zhang Liang, who was looking forward to the Huns, finally got the news, but this news was of course not good news for him.

"Major General, the assassination of the Emperor of Qin has failed. An assassin I planted in the depths of the Qin Dynasty was captured. Fortunately, the rest of the people were alert and could not evacuate early. However, all the forces I planted in Xianyang City were destroyed..."

When Zhang Liang reported the result of this incident to Xiang Yu, he could not hide his loss in his words.

Although he knew before that the probability of success of this matter might not be very high, when he really failed, Zhang Liang realized that they seemed to have missed another excellent opportunity. He wished that the person in the Qin Dynasty was himself, and even if he fought to the death, he could bite a piece of meat from Ying Gao's body.

"Sir, assassination is not something that can be done overnight. You should first tell the people you have installed in Xianyang City and must hide it well and observe how the Emperor of Qin reacted after this assassination. It would be not too late for us to make a long-term plan."

Zhang Liang knew that now they were so far away from the Qin Dynasty and what they did was limited. He didn't know if Ying Gao continued to develop like this, would there be no place for them on the land of the Huns for a while?

After sending his request, what Zhang Liang didn't know was that the next time the news passed from Daqin was only more shocking and helpless for them.
