Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 275
"Play early if you have something to do, and leave the court if you have nothing to do." Zhao Gao roared in a shrill voice.

It was a routine court meeting, and there was nothing to do, so the officials hoped that King Qin would say that he would retreat from the court.However, today is destined to be an uneasy day, Li Si came out of the shift and said: "I have a play."

"Li Aiqing, tell me." Qin Wang sat on the throne calmly and spoke slowly.

Li Si responded, and said: "Your Majesty, your minister Shen Zheng Guo corrupted the law by corrupting the law and cutting corners in construction of water conservancy projects. There are serious hidden dangers in water conservancy projects. Please also ask your Majesty to investigate clearly."

King Qin's face remained unchanged, and he said: "Li Si, do you have any real evidence? You must know that Zheng Guozhong is absolutely loyal, Zheng Guoqu has been cultivated very well, and Guanzhong has never been in danger since then. He would do such a thing, and I don't believe it."

Li Si replied: "Your Majesty's words are very true. Zheng Guoqu has been built very well, and I didn't suspect it. Zheng Guo was originally a Korean hydraulic engineer. He entered Qin to exhaust Qin and consumed a lot of manpower, material and financial resources of Great Qin. He should be judged according to the laws of Qin." For a capital crime, Wang Shang Rende not only did not kill him, but spared his life, entrusting him with hydraulic engineering is a great kindness to him, and it is only right that he should swear to serve the king to the death."

The King of Qin interrupted Li Si and shouted: "Li Si, what are you bringing up these old accounts? What is your intention?"

Li Sibo knelt down to the King of Qin with a bang, kowtowed, and said, "Your Majesty, my minister Li Si was originally a small official of Shangcai. I thought that I could not do things for the world and live an ordinary life. It is my honor to meet and serve the King. Before, I was absolutely loyal, devoted myself to my duties, and swore to serve the king to the death. I also know that the matter of Zheng Guo has passed, but this matter is of great importance, so I have no choice but to speak. Please give me a moment, let me play .”

"If you have bad intentions, it's up to the widow to forgive you. What the widow hates the most is making something out of nothing. You must show real evidence. Say it!" Qin Wang's face was slightly better.

Li Si responded, and said: "Your Majesty, according to my investigation, Zheng Guo was honest and dedicated when he was supervising the construction of the Zheng Guo Canal. He did not violate the laws of Qin. People, Zheng Guo thinks that the king trusts him, so he does whatever he wants, and begins to corrupt the law, cut corners, and damage the people's foundation. My lord, this is the evidence I found." Taking out the memorial from his arms, he said: "Please take a look at it, my lord. .”

Zhao Gao took it and presented it to the King of Qin. The King of Qin glanced at it, threw the memorial on the table heavily, stood up abruptly, and shouted: "Guo Zheng, Guo Zheng, I treat you well, why do you do such a thing? Come on, bring Zheng Guo to the widow. Quick, Li Si, take someone with you."

Li Si responded, turned around and left the hall.King Qin paced back and forth with a livid face, and said bitterly: "Guo Zheng, if you dare to deceive me, I will destroy your nine clans."

The ministers hadn't seen King Qin get so angry for a long time, and they didn't dare to vent their anger, and no one dared to argue for Zheng Guo.In fact, the memorial presented by Li Si was a blank memorial with nothing written on it. Anyway, it was an act, so just take a copy of it to fill up the number.

Not long after, Li Si brought the Huben guards to escort Zheng Guo, and the Huben guards shouted: "Kneel down." Zheng Guo knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

Qin Wang didn't speak immediately, but stared at Zheng Guo fiercely, and after a while, he shook the memorial and said: "This is written clearly, can it be false?"

Zheng Guo argued: "Your Majesty has the kindness to rebuild your ministers. Even if you are sorry for yourself, you can't be sorry for your Majesty. Please also ask your Majesty to investigate clearly."

"The widow asks you, why do you keep using money in Handanqu again and again?" King Qin asked.

Zheng Guo replied: "Your Majesty, I don't know. According to the original estimate, Handan will not use so much silver. It was only after the construction that I found out that the estimate was insufficient, and the cost of silver should be more. As for the subsequent use, it is because there The earthwork is not conducive to construction, so we have to make a detour." Another reason why the Handan Canal is detoured is that it can irrigate tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land.Of course, this reason cannot be given to convict Zheng Guo.

King Qin's eyes widened, he stared at Zheng Guo, and shouted: "As a water engineer, your plan is not thorough, and you change again and again. Do you think you are responsible?"

It cannot be said that it is unreasonable to ask such a crime, Zheng Guo could only say: "I am guilty."

"Play thirty boards, let you have a long memory." King Qin shouted.The Huben guards executed on the spot, beating Zheng Guo to pieces and screaming continuously.

The matter of Zheng Guo tired of Qin made a big fuss, and the clan almost turned over. Ying Ning, as the elder of the clan, thought that the opportunity to turn over had come, and immediately went out to play and said: "Your Majesty, Zheng Guo tired Qin and committed a heinous crime, which made me unable to send troops for several years Shandong, if there is nothing to do with Zheng Guo, the world will be settled early, and Zheng Guo will be punished with death."

Although the construction of the Zhengguo Canal prevented the Qin State from sending troops to Shandong for a while, it made the Qin State more prosperous. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. It depends on which angle you look at the problem. Ying Ning's words are not unreasonable. The King of Qin may have lost his mind when he was furious. , Said: "Zu Zuo! Li Si, you publicize Zheng Guo's crimes to the world. Zheng Guo will be imprisoned, and the barbarians!"

Han Fei hurriedly got out of work, and said: "Your Majesty, no, absolutely no. Zheng Guo..." He stuttered at first, but when he was anxious, he stuttered even more, stuck here and couldn't continue.

Knowing that it was time for him to play, Wei Liao persuaded, "Your Majesty, Liao Zi thinks that Zheng Guo's matter is too big to be hastily convicted, and should be thoroughly investigated."

"Mr. Liaozi, don't talk nonsense with red lips and white teeth. This memorial is clearly written, and Li Si will not be able to fake it if he wants to." King Qin has always treated Wei Liao with courtesy, but today it is different. He was extremely strict, showing how angry he was, and said, "That's fine, I will keep your mouths shut. Li Si, you can handle this matter!"

Li Si's book, it's useless for him to investigate and deal with it, it's just going through the motions, Wei Liao was about to say that King Qin was impatient, he flicked his sleeves and shouted: "Back the court!" Turning around and leaving .

Han Fei and Wei Liao pretended to be out of breath, and chased after them like Ben Zuo.King Qin, Wei Liao, and Han Fei returned to the study, King Qin closed the door, smiled with a tense face, and said, "How is the play going?"

Wei Liao said with a smile: "I didn't say anything, it's amazing. It's just that if you have to do something else, you'll be sure to succeed, so you don't have to worry about being fooled."

"Yes." King Qin also agreed, and said: "It's a pity that Mr. Zheng Guo has suffered a lot. For the sake of Daqin, Mr. Zheng Guo has to bear the wrong name again."

Wei Liao persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, when this matter is done, Mr. Zheng Guo will be cleared."

"The widow will definitely return Mr. Zheng Guo's innocence." The King of Qin said decisively: "By the way, the widow originally thought that after the destruction of Chu, it would take a while to march to Lingnan. After Mr. Zhou's planning, the destruction of Chu and Baiyue are one. Well, after the destruction of Chu, the army will take a short rest and march towards Lingnan. In my opinion, the navy will come in handy, and it is imperative to speed up the development of the navy, and this matter will be supervised by Mr. Liaozi."
