Chapter 21 Imperial power franchise, cut first and play later
Xianyang Palace, inside the Imperial Study Room.
Although it was late at night, Shihuang Yingzheng was still dealing with government affairs.
"Your Majesty, General Zhang Han, please see me." A servant came over and reported softly.
"Let him come in." Shi Huang nodded and continued to look at the memorial in his hand.
As soon as Zhang Han came to Shihuang's side, he heard him ask: "How is Yu's side?"
"Return to Your Majesty, Mr. Yu has completely controlled the net..."
A look of surprise appeared on Shihuang's face, and then he smiled:
"Good boy, you really didn't disappoint me."
Shihuang originally thought that it would take ten days and half a month for Ying Yu to completely control the net.
But I didn't expect to completely control the net in just one day.
Zhang Han hesitated for a moment, then continued:
"After Master Yu took control of Luowang, he officially changed his name to Jinyiwei, and appointed four commanders, namely Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu."
"At noon today, Grand Commander Qinglong is investigating Taicang Prime Minister Du Xin..."
"Du Xin? If I remember correctly, this Du Xin should be the youngest son of Nanyang Hou Duhe, right? Why is Jin Yiwei investigating him?"
Shi Huang asked a puzzled look.
Zhang Han shook his head: "Return to Your Majesty, the exact reason has not been investigated yet, but Du Xin said at dusk that he had committed an old illness and left Xianyu City."
"Old disease? He doesn't get sick in the early days, he doesn't get sick in the evening, but he fell ill when Jin Yiwei checked him. It seems that there is something wrong with Du Xin."
Shihuang knocked on the table and said coldly.
Zhang Han on the side also nodded in agreement.
At this time, the servant came over again: "Your Majesty, Nanyang Marquis Du He is asking to see you."
Upon hearing the words, Shi Huang and Zhang Han looked at each other, "It seems that the matter is not simple, let Du He come in."
A moment later, the servant came in with an old man who was nearly seventy years old.
"Chen Nanyang Marquis Duhe, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Shi Huang waved his hand: "Du He, you came into the palace late at night to see me, what's the matter?"
Du He knelt down on the ground when he heard the words, "Your Majesty, the old minister is here to plead guilty."
"Apologize? Tell me what's going on?"
"Hey...it's all because of the old minister's ineffective son..."
"My youngest son, Du Xin, is addicted to gambling. He owed a lot of gambling debts outside. When it came time to repay the debts, he couldn't afford the money, and he was afraid of being punished by the old officials and dared not tell his family, so..."
"So my naughty son took the initiative to use the pension of the soldiers who died in battle to...to pay off the gambling debt."
"What?" Zhang Han was shocked at first, and then an angry look appeared on his face.
Shi Huang stood up, came to Du He and said coldly, "You don't know about this?"
"Your Majesty, the old minister only found out at dusk today."
"I found out at dusk, why did you report it now?"
Shi Huang asked coldly.
"Your Majesty, although my rebellious son committed the crime of treason, he is the flesh and blood of the old minister after all. The old minister thought about it for a long time at home, and then he made up his mind..."
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to extravagantly ask you to spare my son-in-law. I only ask His Majesty to allow the old minister to suffer on behalf of the son-in-law."
Zhang Han snorted coldly: "Marquis of Nanyang, greedy for the pensions of the soldiers who died in the battle is a serious crime to destroy the three clans."
The meaning in the words is obvious, not only his son is going to die, but also your Nanyang Hou family can't run away.
When Du He heard this, his body trembled and he touched his head to the ground: "I beg Your Majesty to show mercy."
Hearing this, Shi Huang hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"You, Du He, can be regarded as a hero of my Great Qin. It's fine to destroy the three clans, but your son Du Xin must die."
"If he doesn't die, how will I explain to those soldiers who died fighting for our Great Qin?"
When Du He heard this, his face turned pale, but he still did not give up and said:
"Your Majesty, the old minister had four sons in total, three of whom died in the Battle of the Six Kingdoms, and now this is the only one left."
"The old minister begs His Majesty to allow the old minister to die on behalf of the rebellious son. Please leave a queen for the Du family."
When the first emperor heard this, he was furious:
"Enough is enough, I am grateful for not destroying your three clans, don't say too much."
Du He wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the servant who came in a hurry:
"Your Majesty, General Wang Li is asking to see you."
Shihuang was taken aback, "It's really busy in my imperial study today, let him in."
After the words fell, Wang Li in armor hurried in:
"Your Majesty, Young Master Ying Yu left Xianyang City with a thousand royal guards, and the Colonel Ju Nancheng reported that he seemed to be going to Nanyang to arrest someone."
"What, who gave him the courage to lead troops out of the city without authorization?"
Shihuang was stunned when he heard the words, and then said angrily.
Wang Li blinked, looked at Shihuang, and really wanted to say, didn't you personally give it to me?
But he only dared to think about these words in his heart, Shihuang was obviously angry, so he didn't dare to say it out.
"Zhang Han, immediately lead the shadow guards to support."
"promise!"
Zhang Han took the order, and reminded him before leaving:
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. With the young master's martial arts, nothing major will happen."
Shi Huang nodded upon hearing this, and then looked at Du He coldly:
"If something goes wrong with Yu'er, I will slaughter all of your Du clan and get the hell out of here."
At this moment, Nanyang Hou Duhe was also dumbfounded. He didn't expect the matter to come to such an extent.
Nanyang was his former fief, if Young Master Ying Yu really wanted to win someone in Nanyang, there might be a real conflict.
If something really happened to the Sixth Young Master of the Great Qin Dynasty, let alone the Du clan, the whole of Nanyang would be in bad luck.
Thinking of this, he couldn't care less about pleading for his son, and hurried out of the palace, ready to return to Nanyang.
......
Ying Yu left Xianyang City, and after three days of rapid marching, he finally arrived at the border of Nanyang.
Following Ying Yu's order, the army stopped to rest.
Xuanwu took a few Jinyiwei to investigate the situation.
After a while, he came to Ying Yu:
"My lord, Nanyang is less than fifty miles away from here."
Ying Yu nodded, his eyes were full of coldness, and he got on his horse: "Accelerate and march, aiming at Nanyang City."
As soon as the words fell, Ying Yu rode a red rabbit horse, like a fiery red lightning, and rode out first.
Jin Yiwei followed closely behind.
It only took half a day to arrive at the city of Nanyang.
At this time, the gate of Nanyang city was closed tightly, and all the guards on the city were waiting in full battle.
At this time, a man with the appearance of a school captain appeared on the city wall, looked at Ying Yu and the others with a slight frown, and shouted loudly:
"What is the purpose of the city, why did you lead troops to attack my Du family's important place?"
When Ying Yu heard the words, he immediately snorted coldly and said, "The Du family is so majestic. In the whole world, is it the land of the king, and the shore of the land, is it the minister of the king!"
"When did I, Great Qin Nanyang City, become your Du family's private land?"
Qinglong held a long knife and pointed at the captain on the city wall:
"Jin Yiwei is doing business, why don't you open the city gate quickly?"
The colonel on the city wall sneered, and said disdainfully, "Is there any order from His Majesty?"
"Imperial power license, kill first and play later, how dare you stop my Jin Yiwei?"
"Have you opened the city gate quickly?"
The school lieutenant sneered: "What kind of imperial power charter, I tell you that there is no order from His Majesty, and you brought troops here without authorization to plot rebellion."
"Hurry up and retreat if you are interested, or don't blame Ben for being rude."
