Chapter 24 Many crimes, the first emperor was furious
Looking at the hundreds of officials surrounding him, Feng Quji cleared his throat, and then read out the contents of the urgent report:
"His Majesty personally..."
"The Du clan in Nanyang supported their own self-respect and intended to murder Young Master Ying Yu. Fortunately, Young Master bravely led Jin Yiwei to attack Nanyang City and wiped out the Nanyang Du clan..."
After Feng Quji finished reading, all the officials were in an uproar, and they started talking.
"Clan Du is self-respecting? This is simply nonsense. The old man Du of Nanyang has also been there. There are only a few servants in his mansion. Where did the soldiers come from?"
"Your Majesty is right. The Nanyang Du Clan is loyal to Da Qin, but he never expected to end up with a broken family."
"Hmph, Mrs. Du intends to murder me, Mr. Daqin, how can he be loyal?"
Someone stood up and asked coldly.
"This... This is just a one-sided statement. Are Du's people stupid? How could they do such a rebellious thing."
"That's right, from what I've seen, this is probably an excuse made by Young Master Ying Yu."
Just when all the officials were discussing, an old man suddenly stood up and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, the old minister wants to impeach Young Master Ying Yu."
"This son disregarded the laws of my Great Qin Dynasty, not only led troops out of the city privately, but also killed innocent people in Nanyang indiscriminately. Such actions are simply outrageous..."
"The old minister begs Your Majesty to strip him of his power and punish him for his crime!"
As soon as the words came out, all the officials nodded in agreement.
On the dragon chair, Shi Huang's face showed no joy or anger, but said indifferently:
"My dear friends, what do you think?"
After the words fell, many officials stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty to punish Young Master Ying Yu severely."
"The minister also seconded the proposal, and implores His Majesty to punish severely."
"The ministers and others seconded the proposal, and implore His Majesty to punish severely."
Shi Huang looked at these ministers who demanded to punish Ying Yu, with a look of disappointment on his face.
"Your Majesty, I think it won't be too late to make a decision on this matter after Young Master Yu returns and asks for details."
The person who spoke was Feng Quji.
Feng Quji, as the prime minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, has been in the court for many years, he is naturally good at observing words and demeanor,
Seeing that Shihuang's expression was not right at this time, he immediately stepped forward and spoke.
"What Feng Xiang said is very true. We should really wait for Mr. Yu to come back and understand the whole story before we can make a conclusion."
Feng Quji was the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, and now that Li Si was dead, he could be said to be the leader of the officials at this time.
As soon as he spoke, many officials naturally agreed.
"The facts are right in front of our eyes. Shouldn't Young Master Ying Yu be punished for killing people in Nanyang?"
Someone asked in a cold voice, Feng Quji's face changed slightly when he heard the words, and when he was about to refute, a voice came from outside the Qilin Hall.
"Who said that this son killed innocent people indiscriminately?"
Ying Yu, dressed in black armor, strode in.
When he came to the middle of the main hall, he bowed respectfully to the first emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair: "I have seen my father."
Then he glanced coldly at Dian Zhongwu, and said coldly:
"The Du family in Nanyang deceived the superiors and concealed the truth from the subordinates, supported the soldiers and self-respected, and changed taxes without authorization. They are united and can be punished."
"Du Xin, the son of the Marquis of Nanyang, is even more greedy for the pensions of our Great Qin soldiers who died in battle..."
"I would like to ask my lords, if you tamper with taxes and corrupt the ink, don't you deserve to die?"
As soon as this remark came out, the ruling and opposition parties were shocked.
"Your Majesty, is there any evidence for this statement?"
Ying Yu sneered, ignored them, but ordered in a cold voice:
"Come up!"
Following Ying Yu's order, several Jin Yiwei immediately walked in carrying several baskets.
Baiguan was puzzled and didn't understand what Yingyu's intention was.
Ying Yu came to the basket, picked up a roll of bamboo slips from inside, and began to read:
"Name: Du Tu."
"Official position: white body."
"Crime: bullying people to occupy land, robbing people's daughters, fond of cannibalism..."
"Name: Du Xin."
"Official position: Taicang Cheng."
"Crime: Corruption of the pensions of soldiers who died in the war, corruption of food for disaster relief..."
"Name: Du Sheng."
"Official position: Captain of Nanyang City."
"Crime: privately manufacturing weapons and armor, colluding with the remnants of the six kingdoms, intending to plot rebellion..."
......
As Ying Yu read out the crimes one by one, the noisy Qilin Hall became quiet.
Everyone looked at him in disbelief.
"My lords didn't expect it, did you? To be honest, this princess didn't expect that the crimes of the Du clan would need several baskets to fill them up."
"Come, come, all adults, take a look..."
At this moment, the officials were all speechless in the face of the bloody crimes.
Many officials showed grief and indignation.
It's just that the few things Ying Yu read just now have overturned their cognition.
Brother Zheng, who was sitting on the dragon chair, couldn't sit still anymore.
I saw him walk down the high platform and come to the hall, then picked up a bamboo tube in the basket and looked at it.
After a while, I picked up another roll, one roll after another, and kept looking at it.
At the same time, his complexion became more and more ugly.
All the officials were even more silent, and no one dared to speak out.
a long time!
Shi Huang threw away the bamboo slips in his hand, and glanced at all the officials:
"The Du family of Nanyang committed heinous crimes, punished the three clans, demoted slaves..."
"In the case of embezzling ink pensions, all those involved in it, regardless of their official position or background, will be killed."
"Report this matter to the world, and three days later, the execution will be carried out outside Xianyang Palace."
As soon as Shi Huang opened his mouth, all the officials were shocked. Everyone knew that the Qin Dynasty was about to change.
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"
"Your Majesty, although I was born in the Du family in Nanyang, I have lost contact with the Du family after living in Xianyang for a long time. Your Majesty is clearly aware."
"Your Majesty, I am innocent."
In an instant, several officials fell to their knees.
They are all surnamed Du, and they were born in the Du family in Nanyang.
The first emperor was furious when he heard the words, and kicked over the basket beside him, "How dare you cry for injustice?"
"Where are the guards in front of the palace, drag these people out and kill them."
Immediately, a group of guards in front of the temple in black armor rushed in and pulled out the crying people.
After a while, screams sounded.
The fate of several people can be imagined.
"I tell you, don't think that I won't dare to kill people when I'm old."
At this moment, Shihuang was extremely angry. He never thought that a little Du Shi would dare to do so many disobedient things.
What annoyed him the most was that the defenders of Nanyang City had become the Du family's private army.
These soldiers who should have belonged to Daqin actually took action against Young Master Daqin, which shocked and angered Shi Huang.
At the same time, vigilance was also raised in my heart.
Just a small Du family can do this.
What about other clans?
What about the nobles of the Six Nations?
The more I thought about it, the more startled Shihuang became, and at the same time, the idea of inspecting the world again rose in my heart.
Looking at Ying Yu, Shi Huang nodded in satisfaction.
It wasn't until today that he really realized that among his many descendants, only Yu'er was the child most like him.
Has a strategy, a city, and courage, and the most rare thing is to be decisive in doing things.
