Volume 10 Chapter 1 Bloodstained Zhangtai Palace

Jing Ke stabbed Qin, and had a far-reaching impact.

At the moment when Jing Ke held the fish intestine sword and stabbed at Yingzheng, everyone who heard the news all stared at the Zhangtai Palace of the Qin State.

Once upon a time, people's eyes focused on the battle of Qin and Chu, but they ignored the largest group of people in this era, that is, the assassins. The nations have been fighting every year, and there has never been a shortage of Assassins, and those who can represent the trajectory of history have an inexplicable connection with the Assassins.

Either be killed by the Assassins, beware of assassinations, or be an Assassin yourself.

Guigu, Leng Yue, Mojia, Yishui, Shijia, Nie Jia...... and other forces, all of which belong to the Assassin Group, and no matter how well these forces perform, they cannot get rid of the identity of the Assassins. Even the North Palace and the Zhong Palace, which were subordinate to the private official institutions of the Qin Palace, were part of the Assassins.

Beigong Chenxi, the twelve generals of Beigong, which one is not an assassin? Zhong Li, the master of the Zhong Palace, abides by his assassin's creed, has countless assassination methods, and completely flaunts himself with an attitude of confronting his peers.

When the fermentation of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin reached the point that everyone knew about it, the whole world was shocked, and no matter which force it was, they were stunned and didn't dare to speak.

Killing the king and assassinating him, Jing Ke, the leader of Yishui, really did it, and this unspoken rule that the assassins believed in was broken at this moment. One wonders what kind of countermeasures the shepherdesss would have taken if she were still alive.

Thinking about the facts that are too far away and placed in front of everyone, the entire Central Plains is even more shocked. When Zhong Li, the master of the Zhongdian Palace, rushed into Zhangtai Palace and saw Yingzheng who was seriously injured, in a fit of anger, Zhongli went on the spot and launched a bloodbath on the entire Zhangtai Palace, Xianyang changed color, and no one dared to resist Zhongli's killing.

Looking at the weak Ying Zheng, Zhong Li showed a cruel sneer, and said: "No one present today is allowed to leave, in the past, Gongzi killed people for me, and today Gongzi is tired, then let Zhongli kill people, and let everyone know whose territory Xianyang is." ”

If you don't do it, you don't stop doing it, Zhongli immediately sent a message to Qi Run, and said: "Run'er, come to Zhangtai Palace immediately to pick up Gongzi, let Sister Mindai protect it personally, and no one is allowed to enter or leave Qin Palace." ”

Qi Run was accustomed to listening to Zhongli's orders, and soon came to Zhangtai Palace, and saw that Yingzheng was scarred all over his body, and he was about to become a bloody man, and tears couldn't help but flow. didn't say anything, and went back to the bell hall directly with Yingzheng.

Zhongli sent a message to Qiankui of Xuefanlou, and said: "Kui'er, Childe was stabbed, his life is in danger, enter the Zhong Hall immediately, from now on, I want you to stay close to Childe." Even if it's an order from the main ship and Sword Valley, you can't leave Childe's side for a single step, and we can't let Childe be left alone. ”

Qian Kui, who was still sorting out medicinal materials in the Xuefan Building, heard this, his face changed drastically, and he rushed out of the building boat without saying a word, and rushed to the secret passage leading to the Zhong Palace.

Transmitted the voice to Nesten, and said: "Brother Nesteng, from now on, close all the gates of Xianyang, and the city guards will guard all the main roads. Surround the Chu State Post House, within a stick of incense, the Chu people who are still in Xianyang, all of them will be killed, and if you get rid of any Chu people, you will be ready to apologize for your crimes. ”

Nei Shi Teng, who was still in Zhangtai Palace, did not look at anyone, and directly exited the palace gate, and ordered all the city guards to carry out a killing operation. He could tell that Yingzheng was too badly injured and could not be on the board for the time being, and the swordswoman wanted to take over all the power of Xianyang. People block and kill, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, who dares to find another time to disobey Zhongli, there is only one way to die.

Sent a message to the garrison battalion, saying: "From now on, Yingcheng will climb to the big tent in the army for me, Brother Li Xin, order you to surround Xianyang City with the garrison within a stick of incense." Anyone who goes out of the city will be decided. ”

The voice was transmitted to Xibu, Mo Wu'an and others in the Qin Clan's ranch, and said: "Brother Xiaobu and Wu'an, pull the Praetorian Guards out for me, closely monitor every move around Xianyang, and those who dare to lead troops out of the city in the nearby county towns will be wiped out." ”

Transmitted the voice to Ying Ai of the Yiling Palace, and said: "Xiao Ai, the son was stabbed by Jing Ke, and his life is in danger, no matter what tacit agreement you reach with the worshippers, during this period, no one will be allowed to step into the Qin Palace." Whoever dares to break into the palace will be killed, Anru and Lilac must return to Gongzi immediately, otherwise the Yiling Hall will not need to exist. ”

Zhongli, who was standing on the main hall of Zhangtai Palace, issued another order to the military, saying: "As the swordswoman of the Great Qin, I issued twelve military orders in a row, ordering Wang Qian's army and Mengwu's army, and the whole army to withdraw to Xianyang and wait for Gongzi's order. Those who dare to disobey the order will be dealt with by military law. ”

"Order the Xianyang School Palace, ban the predecessors of Tianshui."

"Order Yang Duan and the army to prepare for battle."

"Order the commander of the garrison to lead Zero Feather, and return to the ranch immediately."

"Order the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji of Ganquan Palace to dispatch the Nu clan to the ranch and stand by at any time."

"Order the North Palace, don't allow Zhong Nanshan to come out alone."

……

One order after another was conveyed, and at this moment, everyone was shocked to find that the power that the swordsmaid could exert was too great, and the power was monstrous, even greater than that of King Yingzheng of Qin and the three queen mothers.

And now Zhongli, like a fierce lioness, keeps giving orders, and does not allow anyone to say more. In the end, Zhongli summed up cold-bloodedly and said: "All orders must be executed, and those who dare to disobey orders and slack off will be killed from the royal family to the common people." ”

The cold voice and iron-blooded style shocked everyone.

After the order was issued, Zhong Li, standing on the main hall of Zhangtai Palace, drew his long sword, pointed at Ji Shang, and said: "Lord Ji Shang, immediately send a message to the worship, the prince was assassinated, the political situation in Daqin is unstable, if they dare to interfere with my exercise of power, I will kill five hundred royal family descendants to vent their anger." ”

Ji Shang thumped his chest, stomped his feet and said, "Crazy, everyone is crazy." The king didn't listen to me, but let Jing Ke get closer to the assassination distance; If you will not listen to me, how can you leave the king's side? Don't worry, the game between the king and the worshippers is not about sacrificing who and losing whom, and they don't know that Jing Ke dares to really assassinate. ”

Zhong Li said gloomily: "Jing Ke assassinated Qin, the assassination plan was too thorough, you gave an early warning, and you blamed me for not listening to adults." This is the case, I must stabilize the overall situation, and Xianyang cannot be chaotic. ”

Ji Shang sighed and walked towards the door of the hall, sighing as he walked: "The king was still stabbed, why don't you believe me?" How do I explain this to the princess? My princess, it is better to count on others than to hold power, otherwise you will really die...... ”

Listening to the back of Ji Shang who was far away, Zhong Li felt the same way, Jing Ke assassinated Qin, and the person who could accompany Ying Zheng was the most trustworthy person. Since Zhongnanshan has a prophecy, he refuses to come back, and he has to watch the development of things, Ji Shang and Zhongli can't understand it.

This time, Ying Zheng is really likely to die, which is the most dangerous assassination. Because there is no longevity wine, no personal protection from the master, and no Scarlet Moon in person. Ying Zheng is the king of Qin, and he can't be taken lightly at any time, everyone knows that Jing Ke, a dangerous person, came to Xianyang, but let Ying Zheng be left alone, and everyone has to take responsibility.

Zhongli is bitter in his heart, how can he explain this to Mindai? And how do you explain it to Scarlet Moon?

Dereliction of duty, worry, depression, fear...... All kinds of emotions filled Zhongli's heart, this breath must come out, this resentment must be vented.

Zhongli indifferently inspected the surrounding ministers, lifted the Qin sword, held it high above his head, and said through gritted teeth: "Zhangtai Palace is the power center of my Great Qin, an envoy of various countries, actually assassinated Gongzi in front of you, and everyone here is guilty. Childe is reluctant to punish you, but who am I? I am Zhong Li, the lord of the Zhong Palace, and the swordswoman of the Great Qin who has been canonized by several generations of previous kings. ”

"The sword of the Great Qin Emperor is also something given to me by General Bai Qi, who beats the faint king and beheads the disobedient ministers. This power, Zhongli has never used it, seeing Gongzi being injured like this in Zhangtai Palace, he has lost all the face of my Great Qin, and he will become the laughing stock of the world. So I am determined to exercise this power today, Prime Minister Li Si, Prime Minister Feng Quji, and Shangqing Yao Jia, can you wait? ”

Several people glanced at each other, knelt down in unison, and said, "I am willing to obey the order of the sword maid, and I am willing to obey the order of the sword of the Son of Heaven." ”

Everyone in the main hall knelt down and waited for Zhongli to dispose of him. Everyone can see that the current Zhongli will not listen to anyone's words at all, disobey her, and completely live with his own life.

Zhongli held the Qin Sword in his hand, looked at Qin Wuyang in the distance, and sneered: "What a team of envoys of the Yan Kingdom, it is clear that it is to negotiate peace, but it is actually to assassinate my son-in-law, you can still live, and dare to stand in front of me." ”

Without waiting for Qin Wuyang to reply, Zhong Li flew up, brought up a burst of afterimages, and quickly rushed to Qin Wuyang's side, circling Qin Wuyang three times. The difference in strength between the two is too big, Qin Wu ** didn't have the power to parry, his limbs were abolished, and there was a little sword mark on his eyebrows, and he was killed on the spot.

When Zhongli returned to his original position, Qin Wuyang had already fallen and was directly dragged out of the hall by the guards.

Zhongli said coldly: "Zhao Gao, when Gongzi was assassinated, what did all the ministers do?" I want you to say it one by one, and if you are afraid to say any detail wrong, you will be ready to die. ”

Qin Wuyang's death, the blood stains have not yet dried, the entire Zhangtai Palace is full of blood, many Wenchen are kneeling on the ground, their nostrils are so stuffy that they can't stand it and don't dare to make any sound. Everyone can see that Zhongli is about to start killing, and no one can stop her from killing someone in Xianyang.

Zhao Gao knelt on the ground and said: "Lord Qiqi Palace, since Jing Ke entered the hall, Li Si, Mi Chen, Feng Quji, Ji Shang, Shang Gong and others have been arguing with him, and they don't want Jing Ke to get too close to the king. Prior to this, Jing Ke was the person recommended by Lord Mengjia, and it was he who followed Jing Ke's proposal to hold the Nine Graces Ceremony. ”

Zhongli looked at Meng Jia, his eyebrows were cold, Meng Jia panicked, knelt on the ground and defended: "Please serve the sword girl Mingjian, the king knows about the bribes he received from Jing Ke, how do I know that he will assassinate?" Please distinguish between right and wrong, you can't kill me, I am a member of the Meng clan, and my clan has been expanding the territory ......for Daqin for generations. ”

As he spoke, Meng Jia couldn't go on, because Zhongli didn't reply a word. After waiting for a while, Zhongli said coldly, "Are you finished?" If that's all said and done, then go die. ”

Zhongli kicked out a kick at random, hitting the chest, and Meng Jia spat blood from his mouth, killing him on the spot.

Zhongli continued, "Keep talking. ”

Everyone trembled when they saw it, Zhongli's murderous intent had risen, and every time Zhao Gao said a person who retreated, he was killed by Zhongli on the spot. The person who was killed, no matter how he defended himself, couldn't move Zhongli's murderous intent.

The blood stained Zhangtai Palace, and the entire hall was filled with the bloody smell of death, and dozens of people were killed by Zhongli one after another.

At a certain moment, Shang Gong stood up abruptly and said loudly, "Lord Squire, just kill me." ”

Zhongli was puzzled: "Why did Shang Gong say this?" The people who were killed were all people who retreated when Gongzi was assassinated, such people, who were not loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and still enjoyed the wealth of Daqin, why should the people be angry if they didn't kill, I always have to give an explanation to the people of Daqin. ”

Shang Gong said bitterly: "There are enough people to kill, the Qin people can understand the painstaking efforts of the swordswoman, and they can't kill any more." Today's ceremony of the Nine Servants brought many people who had never participated in the court meeting before, and some of them had never even seen the face of the king. The king was stabbed, and everyone panicked, and the faint of heart made up the vast majority. ”

"The so-called law does not blame the people, if you kill most of the people, who will govern Daqin? Even if you want to kill, you have to discuss with the king and kill selectively. Blindly killing indiscriminately, the implication is widespread, my Great Qin will only decline, everyone will not dare to enter the court as an official, and what will be lost is the national strength of my Great Qin. ”

Zhongli's face was displeased, she didn't understand this, but what Shang Gong said was not wrong, so she could only ask Mi Chen, who was more familiar, and asked: "Lord Mi Chen, the lord humiliated the ministers to death, when the prince was assassinated, those people were still retreating, shouldn't they really be killed?" ”

Qi Chen said bitterly: "Xiao Zhong, they should be killed, but you have killed too many people, you must leave some men for us." If you don't understand this, take the treasury I am in charge of, I am the largest, and there are so many account books, I can't read them all by myself. If you kill all the wrongdoers, and I have no subordinates, will I be left alone to see them? ”

"The treasury and private treasury are combined, and you roughly know how many account books there are, even if I am allowed to check them alone, I will not be able to read them all for decades. And those of my subordinates rarely participate in court meetings in normal times, and if it weren't for the king's Nine Mansions ceremony this time, they wouldn't have appeared here at all. Just be kind, and stop here, and you can't kill any more. ”

Li Si, Yao Jia and the others said at the same time: "Please don't kill the swordswoman." ”

The corners of Zhongli's mouth trembled, and he asked bitterly: "Lord Feng Quji, you have always been upright, did Zhongli kill the wrong people?" The king was assassinated, his life was at stake, and it was difficult to govern in the short term. When the political situation in Daqin is unstable and Xianyang is in trouble, if you don't kill these people who made mistakes, why are the civilians angry and the morale of the army stabilized? ”

"The soldiers are fighting on the front line, but we let the assassins of other countries break into our homes and assassinate Gongzi, this news cannot be concealed at all, and it will soon spread all over the Central Plains. If you don't kill some people, it will definitely shake the morale of the army, Zhongli didn't even dare to let the old general Wang Jian be on the front line, only by letting them withdraw will they not let the young people fish in troubled waters. ”

Zhongli's first consideration was the attitude of the military, because she understood the thoughts of soldiers. All the masters were scattered all over the place, and the armies of the Qin State were spreading, and Xianyang was empty. With Yingzheng's injury, he can't deal with the government in the short term, and Zhongli has no choice, so he does that.

Feng Qu sighed bitterly: "We all know the hard work of the swordswoman, and your existence is for the stability of the Great Qin River. You have the power to beat kings and kill ministers, and you have been entrusted by generations of previous kings on their deathbed, and you are under more pressure than we do. The king is reluctant to kill, but for the sake of Daqin, you can't kill it. ”

"But I still have to say that enough people have been killed, and those who are guilty should be punished in a different way. Let me and Zhao Gao draw up a roster, divide the people who have made mistakes, warn them according to the degree of the circumstances, and let them make meritorious contributions in the years to come. If they commit another crime, they will be punished with both crimes, and they will be punished with joint punishment, so that they will not dare to do the wrong thing again. ”

Li Si, Yao Jia, Mi Chen, Shang Gong and others said in unison: "This is a great good, please calm the anger of the sword girl." ”

Several people didn't dare to let Zhongli kill any more, this killing in Zhangtai Palace, some timid civil officials were already so frightened that they peed their pants, coupled with the bloody atmosphere, it showed chaos. This kind of atmosphere is terrifying and even more frightening, and even the upright Feng Qujian doesn't dare to look at it anymore.

Zhongli sighed, Qin Jian returned to the sheath, tears flowed out, and tears flowed: "You are all the ministers of Gongzi's humerus, if you don't want me to kill, then I won't kill you anymore." ”

"Gongzi became the king of Qin and was assassinated, I could have expected it very early, but I never expected that the location of the assassination was actually in Zhangtai Palace, which was slapping our Qin people in the face, which is a kind of humiliation, a shame. And I don't know how to get revenge, what should I do? I can think of the anger of the officers and men in the army. ”

"I can't kill people anymore, how can I get this resentment? Wang Qian, Meng Wu, Yang Duanhe, Ying Hao, Meng Tian, Ying Cheng, Ling Yu, and the three queen mothers...... And so on, how do I explain to them? ”

Zhongli's expression was gloomy, she was the shadow of Yingzheng, but she was not by her side when Yingzheng was at her most critical. Everyone left, just because Zhongli was there, and everyone believed in her ability. But Zhongli disappointed everyone, Zhongli couldn't forgive herself, this kind of grievance, she burst into tears.

Watching Zhongli Liushen walk out of Zhangtai Palace without a master, and the disappearing back, the ministers felt sad in their hearts and felt empathy. The Great Qin Swordswoman is the most powerful person in the Qin State, and anyone who has seen Zhongli will only give two words: 'powerful'.

Many people have tried to find out Zhongli's weaknesses, and after so many years, they have all failed. Such a powerful person wanted to kill people today, but he couldn't be stopped by everyone, and he shed tears of grievance. Is this still a ruthless person? Has anyone ever seen Zhongli shed tears?

Everyone was moved, and at this moment, they saw a fact clearly. The situation in Xianyang, when Yingzheng can't be a director, only Zhongli can sit strongly. However, today, several of the ministers of the humerus stopped Zhongli's killing, and they were deeply afraid, if Zhongli left, regardless of it, who could control the current situation?

No, not one.
