Qin Official

Heifu didn't know that there was another very important reason why Qin Shihuang believed more in the local witchcraft of Qin and rejected the suggestion of Guandong scholars to patrol eastward: after Gao Jian left the case, Qin Shihuang had lost trust in "the people of the princes". Although he did not rashly chase away guests like he did back then, as long as he was a remnant of the Six Kingdoms, he could never get close to the emperor and would not be reused.

Qin Shihuang's criterion for distinguishing "people of Qin" from "people of the princes" was based on Qin's territory when he succeeded to the throne. At that time, the Qin Dynasty had merged with Ba, Shu, and Hanzhong. There was Ying in Yuewan, and Nanjun was established. To the east of Shangjun in the north, there were Hedong, Taiyuan, and Shangdang counties. In the east, as far as Xingyang, it destroyed two weeks and established Sanchuan County.

In addition, all other newly conquered areas are counted as "people of the princes".

As a result, Qin Shihuang's car drove in relatively friendly areas during most of this northern tour.

Needless to say, Anyi in Hedong has been the land of Qin since Wei was forced to donate Anyi to Qin in the 21st year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin (286 BC). King Zhao of Qin drove away all the Wei people in Anyi City, and moved the pardoned sinners to Qin to settle down. After several generations, they had become loyal subjects of Qin like Nanjun. The local people were in Puban, in Salt pool, along the road in Anyi, welcomes the emperor.

"When I returned from Handan, the people in Hedong also welcomed me in the same way..."

Qin Shihuang sat in his royal chariot, opened the curtain and looked at the sea of ​​people outside, and the fragments of his childhood flashed by.

At that time, Qin Shihuang was only seven or eight years old. He had suffered a lot of suffering and humiliation in Handan, and he also felt strange to the distant Xianyang. The first time he felt like "going home" was in Hedong, in Anyi.

I vaguely remember that the queen mother was hugging him tightly in the car. Suddenly there was a noise outside. The mother and son were frightened. Even though the young master was scared, he bravely stood in front of his mother and clenched his fists.

But those people who were coming all knelt down ten steps away. They just wanted to see Gongzi Zheng, who had been living in exile for many years...

The old Anyi farmer held up the steamed millet rice in his hand and invited the young master to enjoy it.

Qin Shihuang did not remember whether he had eaten or not. He only remembered that it was winter and there was rain and snow along the way, but the mother and son felt warm in their hearts because they knew that they were finally safe and no longer in danger of their lives.

"In the past, I went there, and the rain and snow carried me along the way. Now I come to think about it, and the millet and grain are blooming!"

In a good mood, Qin Shihuang issued an order in Anyi: all the people under his rule in the cities that welcomed him more than thirty years ago would be exempted from military service for one year "one year after another".

Qin Shihuang stayed in Anyi for three days and worshiped "Xia Xu". But the next Taiyuan County left a less good impression on Qin Shihuang...

At the beginning of the twelfth month of the twenty-eighth year of Qin Shi Huang (the sixth lunar month), Qin Shi Huang arrived in Jinyang.

"Hello Jinyang."

While in the car, Qin Shihuang sneered at Li Si, the court lieutenant who was accompanying him: "On the first day I took the throne, I received news that Jinyang was rebelling! Fortunately, General Meng Ao was there to deal with it for me!"

Li Si lowered his head: "I just arrived in Xianyang at that time. I remember this..."

Qin Shihuang still remembers the great gift given to him by the people of Jinyang for his succession, so there is no reduction or exemption in the local area.

Twenty-eight years have passed, Jinyang is still the same, but the people are beyond recognition. Meng Ao is dead, and his son Meng Wu is also old. His health is worse than Wang Jian's, and he doesn't know how long he has to live.

The veteran generals are withering. Among the generals who were active on the battlefield before Qin Shihuang took office, the only one who can still be used is Qiang Su.

What is gratifying is that the younger generation of generals has emerged in large numbers. Meng Tian and Li Xin once disappointed Qin Shihuang, but they all learned their shame and became brave. They have made great achievements in the frontiers in recent years. Although Feng Jing and Li You are the second generation of officials, they are also Somewhat talented.

However, Qin Shihuang was most optimistic about Heifu, a Northland commander with great potential. This son was capable of both literary and military skills, but he was from a humble background and had no foundation. It's just that Heifu is too young and has learned the lesson of Li Xin's attack on Chu. Qin Shihuang does not intend to let him suddenly ascend to a high position, but intends to slowly polish and cultivate him...

Because he had a bad impression of Jinyang, Qin Shihuang only stayed here for two days. During these two days, he also heard another thing that made him unhappy.

What happened was that a lieutenant from Taiyuan County came to report that in Yuci County near Jinyang, there seemed to be activities involving old friends of Jing Ke’s party members!

"Your Majesty, there is a swordsman in Yuci named Gai Nie. His family is wealthy and he often associates with swordsmen from the six countries. More than 20 years ago, the thief Jing Ke traveled through Yuci and discussed swordsmanship with Gai Nie. When Jing Ke was defeated, , Gai Nie has disappeared. I have sent people to search for and offer rewards for him. Recently, he has been reported and he is actually living in seclusion in Qiyou. He has been caught by the government. I dare to ask Your Majesty, how should I deal with him? "

The lieutenant wanted to take credit for this, but Qin Shihuang only felt nauseated, dropped his chopsticks, and showed displeasure.

Rangers and swordsmen were the people Qin Shihuang hated the most in his life, especially those close to Jing Ke.

He always felt that these remnants of Prince Dan and Jing Ke who wanted to kill him were really endless insects.

Would the emperor condescend to interrogate a dying insect? Of course not, Qin Shihuang just waved his hand impatiently and asked Tingwei Li Si to deal with it according to the law.

As a result, Gai Nie, an old man who avoided the harsh laws of Qin and lived in seclusion in the mountains. He enjoyed wielding wooden swords and had no intention of assassination or rebellion. Just because he had interacted with Jing Ke many years ago, he was called "Jing Ke" by outsiders. "Friends", he was convicted by the Taiyuan County Magistrate of "general Yang" and "conspiracy of rebellion", and beheaded in Jinyang East City...

In the courtroom, the grizzled old swordsman Ge Nie continued to cry out for injustice. When he was young, he was a famous swordsman in Yuci. His family was wealthy and he often interacted with people from the six countries. But to say that he was Jing Ke's friend was a huge injustice.

"I'm not convinced!"

After the verdict was handed down, Ge Nie kept shouting.

"Jing Ke once came to Yuci to visit me, and he talked to me about swordsmanship. However, our understanding of sword moves and swordsmanship were quite different. I felt that Jing Ke had no skills and could only talk to gain fame, so I became angry. Angry, he stared at him with his eyes, and he walked away in shame. He left Yuci that night and never saw me again. How could I be his old friend and a member of his party? I don't accept it, I want to beg for marriage!"

Begging means that the defendant refuses to accept the judgment and requests a review. If it is a county judgment, he can go to the county. If the county's judgment is made, he can go to the "Supreme People's Court".

After all, Gai Nie had been a citizen of Qin for a long time. Although he was unruly and unwilling to follow the rules, he also knew a little about the system of Qin's laws.

But unfortunately, Li Si, the court lieutenant, was in Jinyang, so Gai Nie asked for help in the morning, and Li Si came to review it in person in the afternoon.

In the end, he rejected Ge Nie's begging, believed that the crime of rebellion was unforgivable, and upheld the original sentence...

Li Si's reason was high-sounding: "The chivalrous man is the five beetles of the state. If the six countries do not get rid of the five beetles of the people and nourish them generously, then there will be a ruined country and a destroyed dynasty!"

"Xia violated the ban with martial arts. Taiyuan has the legacy of Zhao. There are many young and strong men who want to learn swordsmanship from Gai Nie. If ten people learn swordsmanship and become knights, ten families' farmland will be abandoned, but ten more people will be born in the city with swordsmanship. Anyone who commits adultery and violates the law will be punished if he violates the law!"

Legalists hate two kinds of people the most, one is Confucianism, the other is chivalry, and they wish they all died. Nowadays, in order to balance the court and academics, the emperor allows Confucianists to be Ph.D.s. Legalists can't easily touch them. However, it is different for folk knights. Since the unification of Qin, almost everyone has beaten them like rats crossing the street.

This case was turned into a solid case by Li Si.

Secretly, the reason why Li Si insisted on Gai Nie's death was: "The rebels are cunning. Your Majesty was soft-hearted last year and pardoned a Gao Jianli, but he tried to do evil and almost offended Tianyan. To deal with these rebels, it is better to kill them than to kill them." Let it go!”

So, just when Qin Shihuang left Jinyang in his car and continued northward, Gai Nie was beheaded in the city of Jinyang. Although there were angry shouts from the old swordsman and silent sighs from bystanders, there was no such thing as the snow in June. …

…

Ten days later, the news that Gai Nie was executed in Jinyang reached Julu County. Next to the vast mainland, a huge bang was heard in a small courtyard hidden in the mountains and forests!

"Gai Nie can be regarded as a hero of the Jin Dynasty. When he was young, he was so good at swordsmanship that ten people could not get close to him. But now he is executed by Bao Qin without any guilt. It is really hateful!"

In the room, a strong warrior in his forties, with thick beard and hair, was shaking with anger. His punch just now broke the low case into two pieces, and splinters of wood flew everywhere...

His name is Lu Goujian. When he was young, he was a Handan light knight. He hung out in the market all the year round. Jing Ke traveled to Handan, and Lu Goujian once played Liubo with Jing Ke. Halfway through the game, the two of them were arguing about the order of the game. Lu Goujian had a bad temper and immediately flipped up the chessboard and yelled at him angrily. Jingke didn't care about him and left happily, never to see each other again.

Lu Goujian only thought that Jing Ke was a coward and didn't take it seriously. Ten years later, when news came that Jing Ke failed to assassinate Qin, Lu Goujian regretted what happened back then...

"I really don't know Jing Qing very well. I used to scold him for trivial matters, but I never thought that he and I have similar thoughts."

Lu Goujian was a member of Zhao, and Handan was destroyed. The King of Qin personally came to Handan and killed hundreds of enemies. Some of them were Lu Goujian's benefactors. He also wanted to assassinate Qin, but Jing Ke preempted him.

Finally, Lu Goujian couldn't help but said with regret: "Hey, although Jing Ke has the courage to stab Qin, he doesn't know how to stab with a sword!"

Since then, Lu Goujian secretly left Handan and came to the sparsely populated mainland. He lived by fishing and hunting. By the way, he recruited anti-Qin people from Yan and Zhao, gathered here secretly, and practiced swordsmanship. People like Chen Yu had been here back then. …

But as Qin unified the six countries, the anti-Qin movement entered a low ebb. Nowadays, the rebellion against Qin has not been forgotten, but when he heard that "heroes" such as Gao Jianli and Ge Nie had fallen one after another, Lu Goujian was really indignant.

The man in civilian clothes next to him was very calm. He picked up the silk letter that had just been knocked away by Lu Goujian's palm and said:

"Hero Lu, conquering the famous city, killing heroes, this is what Bao Qin has been doing, but the patriots of the Six Kingdoms are like leek leaves, they can be cut back to life, and the killing is endless. Bao Qin's behavior will only make people More people gave up on him, forcing all the heroes in the world to a dead end..."

"Zhang Zifang! In your opinion, covering the death of the hero is a good thing?"

Lu Goujian grabbed Zhang Liang, who was disguised as a merchant and was communicating information between Chu and Zhao, trying to unite the anti-Qin people in the world, and cursed:

"You vowed before that the tyrant might be patrolling the east this year, asking us to wait for an opportunity to help you assassinate him. What happened? I got the news that after Zhao Zheng killed Gai Nie, he went all the way north to Yanmen and Yunzhong. Got it!"

After he finished scolding, he threw Zhang Liang aside. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. In a rage, he picked up the sword hanging on the wall and went out:

"No, I can no longer hide here and grow moldy. I must take the guests to Yanmen and Yunzhong overnight to ambush Zhao Zheng on the mountain road!"
