Chapter 49: Will Fusu ask for mercy again?
Xianyang Palace, Qilin Palace.
quiet!
In the entire Qilin Hall, all civil and military officials did not dare to breathe for a moment, and they all lowered their heads like quails.
Qin Shihuang sat high on the throne, his face as gloomy as water.
Emperor Qin Shi, in ordinary times, he was not reflected in his emotions, making people unable to see through what he thought.
However, today's expression shows how angry I feel!
Some well-informed people understand why Your Majesty is angry, so they dare not cause trouble at this time.
Of course, more people are anxious and don’t understand why.
I just entered the palace today and didn't say a word. Your Majesty put on this look? It seems that there has been nothing that can make Your Majesty so angry recently.
"His Majesty!"
After a long time of silence, Li Si stepped forward and said, "The governor of Shangjun County reported that Prince Fusu was assassinated around Shangjun County City. Fortunately, the guards fought to protect each other and their lives were not hindered."
"The murderer behind the scenes is Xiang Yan, the general of Chu State. He is named Xiang Yu. Although he has been beheaded in public by the prince, the Xiang family dares to attack the prince and his intention to rebel is obvious. I ask Your Majesty to kill the Xiang family!"
On the surface, Li Si's words were reported to Qin Shihuang, but in fact, they were said to the civil and military officials in the hall.
As soon as these words came out, the hall was filled with an uproar.
"Young Master Fusu was assassinated? How dare that Xiang family be so ruthless? This is to be an enemy of the people in the world!"
"No wonder His Majesty was so angry early in the morning! Now, have those anti-Qin assassins actually started to attack the young master?"
"I didn't expect that Young Master Fusu actually killed someone? But it's right to think about it. When he was assassinated, he must be shocked, right? It's normal for such a bloody and angry person to be like this!"
...
"His Majesty!"
In the Qilin Hall, all the civil and military officials were talking, but at this moment, a minister came out and said, "It is indeed unforgivable that Xiang Yu dared to assassinate the young master. He was killed by the young master, so it was natural."
"But, as far as I know, Xiang Yu had long been interested in plotting against rebellion. He had previously spoken of plotting against rebellion, so he was expelled from the Xiang family and even removed from the family tree. If he took his anger from the Xiang family, it would be difficult to convince the public!"
"What Doctor Zhang said is reasonable. Since Xiang Yu was apart from the genealogy, it is not considered the Xiang family. If the Xiang family was destroyed because of his crime, this move would hurt Your Majesty's virtue and reputation!"
"Since the Xiang family is loyal to Your Majesty, for the sake of Xiang Yu's rebellion, it is better to reward rather than punish him! Only in this way can your Majesty benevolence and make the six kingdoms return!"
Another minister came up and shouted loudly.
This statement made many people in the hall nod secretly.
Xiang Yu made a rebellious statement, and the Xiang family could expel him, and even in addition to the genealogy, it did express his loyalty to the Qin Dynasty!
Since Xiang Yu had no relationship with the Xiang family, it was indeed unreasonable to kill the Xiang family for Xiang Yu's rebellion, and it was unreasonable.
The First Emperor sat upright and did not rush to speak. As the emperor, he held the Tianxian in his mouth. Once he spoke, the matter was completely decided.
Therefore, Qin Shihuang looked at Li Si and said, "What do you think?"
"Report to Your Majesty, Xiang Yu's assassination of the Young Master is a serious crime. Although the Xiang clan has no relationship with Xiang Yu, from Xiang Yu's name to Xiang Yu's rushing to Shangjun for thousands of miles to assassination of the Young Master, there is less than a month between them, and there may be a case of the Xiang clan's arrangement in advance!" Li Si lowered his head and understood His Majesty's thoughts.
"The Left Prime Minister's words are different! The law, the law is not in the right mind, and the Left Prime Minister is a model of the law. He should speak based on facts, so how can he make a decisive word?"
However, Li Si's words had just fallen, and Dr. Zhang, who had spoken at the beginning, immediately refuted!
Li Si said this and said nothing.
As the saying goes, the eyes of the masses are all sharp. As Li Si said, many civil and military officials in the hall nodded secretly, thinking that his words made sense. All of this was more likely to be arranged in advance by the Xiang clan.
But what can I do? The Qin Dynasty governs the country according to law, and the law is strict but it is not right to act!
"Wang Wan, what about you? What do you think?" Immediately, Qin Shihuang looked at the right prime minister Wang Wan.
"Your Majesty is in his mouth and speaking is a law, and this matter should be decided by Your Majesty!" Wang Wan was named and had to speak and said something about the whole world.
"Meng Qing?" Finally, Qin Shihuang's eyes fell on Meng Yi.
"Your Majesty, in terms of reason, what the Left Prime Minister said is not without reason. In terms of emotion, the young master is Your Majesty's eldest son. As a father, isn't it natural to avenge his son? I'm asking for the Left Prime Minister to destroy the Xiang clan!"
Meng Yi spoke, unlike Wang Wan's, and firmly explained his position!
"What Meng Yi said is selfish! He and General Wang Jian defeated the State of Chu and killed Xiang Yan. He and the Xiang clan had long had a grudge!" As Meng Yi expressed their opinion, Dr. Zhang, who had earlier shouted.
In this way, the situation in the Qilin Hall seemed to have become much clearer.
The left prime minister Li Si agreed to kill the Xiang clan, the superior minister Meng Yi followed the proposal, while the right prime minister Wang Wan did not explicitly object!
"Your Majesty!" At this moment, another person walked out and attracted the attention of everyone in the Qilin Palace.
"Chunpushe, what do you have to say?" Looking at the figure walking out, Qin Shihuang, who was about to announce, swallowed his words for the time being.
At the same time, all the civil and military officials in the hall also looked at this person!
Chunyu Yue may not have a high position, and he is not as good as Li Si and others, but his identity is quite special because he is the teacher of Prince Fusu!
As the party involved, his teacher should speak out and do what he should do!
"Destroying a country and not destroying sacrifices is a tradition left over. Although the speculation of the Left Prime Minister is reasonable, the Xiang family was destroyed by speculation alone. This move will definitely be difficult to convince the public, and it will make the remains of the six countries panic, which will damage the power of Your Majesty and the country!"
"This matter is related to Young Master Fusu after all. I think that everything should be based on Young Master Fusu's wishes! In this way, it is a sin or absolution, and the whole world will definitely believe it!"
Chunyu Yue came out and spoke as the teacher of Gongzi Fusu. His words and deeds really made people unable to find any fault!
Although Your Majesty’s killing is reasonable, it is illegal. For the country, it does harm more than good.
If Young Master Fusu personally decides, no matter what choice he makes, he will be convinced as a victim.
"Oh..." Li Si and Meng Yi, who were standing below, sighed in their hearts when they heard this.
The two of them could see clearly.
Let Fusu decide by himself? To be honest, it is already surprising that he can kill Xiang Yu in his name of kindness. Let him destroy the Xiang clan? This is impossible!
On the surface, Chunyu Yue's words seem to be reasonable, but he cannot not know Fusu's temperament, right? But he still proposed this. This can be considered as a plea for the Xiang clan, right?
But, what can I do? I want to refute a few words, but I can't refute it at all!
Qin Shihuang stopped talking. Li Si and the others could see clearly, and of course he could see clearly.
Having agreed? This is tantamount to agreeing to let go of the Xiang clan, and Qin Shihuang was unwilling to do so.
But if you don’t agree, what reason should you use to refuse?
"Your Majesty, Mr. Fusu is coming in urgent need of a letter!" Just when Qin Shihuang was in a dilemma, a guard walked in and reported.
"It's over, isn't this a letter to plead for the Xiang clan again?"
Chapter completed!
