Chapter 1277 Danger Signal

A banquet was eaten from You hour to the beginning of Hai hour. The bustling and lively streets had slowly calmed down. Only then did Li Xin, Sun Shujiu and Yuan Kun, drunken, put their hands and shoulders out of the restaurant. A group of servants in the restaurant, the guards and servants in Li Xin's mansion were all taken care of carefully.

After drinking here, Li Xinma was naturally unable to ride. Although Daqin had no drunk driving order, he could not even climb up the horse's back when he was drunk. So the supervisor of the Eight Immortal Pavilion arranged a four-wheeled carriage to send Li Xin and Yuan Kun back first, while Sun Shujiong had his own carriage. The three of them pulled and pulled on the street at the entrance of the Eight Immortal Pavilion and made an appointment for the next time to drink, and then they dispersed.

"If the Queen Qinghe really said this, it seems that my brother-in-law should not worry this time!" On the way back, Yuan Kun, who was burping and blushing, was sitting in the carriage with great excitement.

"Himmer~, these drunk Eight Immortals are really amazing. They are indeed as their name suggests. Even gods can get drunk. The three of us can only drink two pounds..." Li Xin leaned on the back of the chair, and was already dizzy at this time and was almost unable to sit steadily.

"It's so strange. How could the Queen of Qinghe know that when her brother-in-law comes back, she must ask someone to inquire about enamel matters?" Although she was drunk at this time, she was so-called drunken and thoughtful, and Yuan Kun was still muttering about something that she had never figured out in her heart.

Li Xin sat down slightly when he heard this, his drunken face was instantly calm. Looking at his uncle sitting opposite him, he sighed slightly in his heart and said, "My uncle has lived in the capital for a long time. He should know that the Marquis of Qinghe is not an ordinary person. It is not exaggeration to say that he has made plans. Although I am also a Marquis of Qing, I have been leading troops outside for many years. Unlike the Montessors and Jiang, both people are officials in the court. Therefore, I am not clear about many things happening in the court. Moreover, the Western Army's reselling enamels has been circulating for several months. Marquis of Qinghe must have discussed with Your Majesty for this matter, and I must have known Your Majesty's thoughts..."

"My situation is so clear that the marquis of Qinghe is so clear that I guessed that I did something strange after returning to Beijing. Sun Shujiu and his uncle were both at the Academy of Sciences. It is reasonable to contact you and me to tell Sun Shujiu about this..."

"Oh, I think I, Li Xinfenghou, won the title of Marquis of Li, who has been fighting for His Majesty and the Qin Dynasty for half a lifetime. I don't mention the credit, but I'm not very hardworking. But when I returned this time, all the civil and military officials in the court were distant from me. Only Marquis of Qinghe still remembers us martial artists, and even when I go back to visit my relatives, I still remember leaving a message to comfort me..."

"If I, Li Xin, can still be a minister and a general in this life, I will only be the one who is Qinghe Hou..." Li Xin punched the seat hard, and the spacious four-wheeled carriage shook violently.

"Shh, my sister-in-law, be careful of your words, be careful of the walls!" Yuan Kun's face was distorted in fear. He looked out the window and found that there was no movement in the guards and servants following around him. His heart was slowly calmed down.

If Li Xin's words are spread by drunkenness, if they are spread, they will inevitably be used by those who are interested and may be charged with a crime of being denied.

Things were as Sun Shujiu said. The court was calm in the next few days, and Li Xin did not ask Meng Yi privately. Meng Shi's plan must have his own plans for reselling enamel equipment in the Western Army. When he asked Meng Yi, he would definitely not get too accurate information. Meng Shi's plan might not even know the First Emperor's plan.

During this period, Li Xin requested to enter the palace to pay homage to the First Emperor twice, but was rejected by the First Emperor. He was neither rewarded nor scolded. Even the civil and military officials in the court were all confused and did not know the final attitude of the First Emperor.

In mid-May, the Marquis of Jingwu returned to the capital.

The first thing Meng Tian did when he returned to Beijing was to enter the palace to apologize. He had a full hour of complaints with the First Emperor and left the palace, and there was no joy, anger, sorrow and happiness on his face.

On the second day, the Censor of the Supervisor wrote to Emperor Shi, requesting a thorough investigation of the Western Army's stolen and sold enamel equipment, and impeached the Marquis of Jingwu to make a strict control of the subordinates, resulting in huge losses in enamel equipment. At the same time, the impeachment were also the chief generals of Di Daohou Li Xin and Yinshan Hou Jianghu, as well as dozens of generals and chief officers of all major generals and chief officers of the Western Army, almost all the middle and senior officials of the two armies of the Western Army, and also affected several officials from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue. In an instant, the entire court was in an uproar.

Faced with this unprecedented turmoil, the First Emperor refused all impeachment memorials after a long time of silence, and discussed it only after saying something.

"Your Majesty, the Western Army has already understood the reselling of enamel equipment. The three generals, Marquis of Jingwu, Marquis of Di Dao and Marquis of Yinshan, are unforgivable. The Qin Dynasty's laws are strict and we must take the title and resign from the post according to the law. All dozens of generals and school officials involved must be dealt with according to the law. Your Majesty must not be ignored!" Seeing that the First Emperor seemed to want to delay as if he was dealing with Wang Li, Feng Jie, the Chief Censor, couldn't help but stand up.

Feng Jie, Feng Quji's brother, the chief censor, and the second-rank official position, commanded the Attorney Censor and the Censor of various counties. Although he was under Meng Yi, he had his own independent supervision authority and could command the Attorney Censor to impeach any official.

Seeing the second-in-command of the Provincial Supervision Bureau jump out, he was familiar with Feng Jie or his subordinate chief immediately stood up seven or eight, all third-rank and fourth-rank officials with great power in each government office. They submitted a memorial to punish Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin, Jiang Hu and others to demonstrate the national law.

The last time the First Emperor was delayed and confused in the Yanmen Pass incident, which actually caused dissatisfaction among many officials and legal scholars.

The Qin Dynasty was stronger than magic, and all kinds of laws were almost complete. The civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty and the people of the Qin Dynasty were already familiar with this ubiquitous legal environment. Although many people did not like or even opposed too strict laws, no matter what happened, the first thing they thought was whether the matter was violated or what punishment should be received for violation of the law, etc.

The impact of the hundreds of years of magical governance is that the legal spirit and legal awareness have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the Qin Dynasty.

Whether you like it or not, these laws are placed there, with no joy or sorrow. Just wait for you to accidentally hit you, and someone will bring you to the law, behead you, cut your head and cut your heart and cut off your stomach... Well, it's too cruel. Generally, it's cracked and cooked with oil. All five punishments are served to let you know the consequences of the law.

Although the Yanmen Pass incident has ended and ended with the death of Tongwu Hou and Wang Li of Wucheng Hou was removed from office, the impact of that incident has not ended.

After all, Li Mu is the enemy of the Qin Dynasty. Many people in the Qin Dynasty also believe that the temples of hostile generals such as Li Mu should be destroyed. This is a pure and narrow patriot. Whether they are trolls or keyboard warriors, they just think that the Qin Dynasty is the most awesome, unrivaled in the world, and the three heroes of the Wang family are also the greatest heroes of the Qin Dynasty. No one can replace them. Wang Li should not be punished.

Of course, there were also firm disciples of the Legalists and many people who sympathized with the people of Zhao who demanded that Wang Li be punished seriously. If he did not count his resignation, he would also have to take the title.

However, compared with the Yanmen Pass incident, the Western Army's stolen and selling enamel equipment is much more serious.

To put it bluntly, the Yanmen Pass incident was due to Wang Li’s personal reasons. The conflict occurred due to insufficient personal inspection, and then the situation was expanded due to insufficient handling.

But this time the Western Army resells enamel equipment, which can be said to be a collective corruption case from top to bottom. From leading generals like Li Xin and Jiang Heng to ordinary soldiers, they all participated, and reselling armies for millions of yuan. If this is the case, if the Emperor Shin-Emperor is not serious, it will probably lead to more serious problems in the future.

Because Meng Tian was involved, Meng Yi would avoid suspicion, so Feng Jie, as the second-in-commander of the Supervision Province, should stand up and express the responsibilities of the supervisory officials, and he also received support from many officials.

"Your Majesty, Han Fei said in the past: The law is not expensive, the rope is not shattered. The law is added, the wise cannot refuse, and the brave dare not fight. Do not avoid ministers in punishment, reward good, and do not leave ordinary men. Understand the law and prohibitions, and observe their plans. If the law is clear, there will be no internal troubles; if the plan is obtained, there will be no external disasters. Therefore, the country is not be benevolent and righteous. The Western Army's robbery and selling enamel equipment is caused by the Western Army's reckoning with the laws and regulations of the army and arbitrarily trampling on our Qin army's laws. I think it is necessary to severely punish the generals of the Western Army, and to criticize the people to serve as a warning!" Right Prime Minister Feng Quji stood up expressionlessly and bowed.

Now that Chen Xu is not here, the three nobles are led by him.

Because Meng Yi was unlikely to get involved in this matter, Feng Quji had a great opportunity to persuade the First Emperor to find out the truth. Those who should be dismissed from office and those who should be deprived of their titles must be arranged as soon as possible, otherwise the longer they delayed, the more unfavorable the stability of the morale of the army.

The First Emperor was sitting high on the dragon couch. Although his face was calm, he secretly glanced at the empty huge magistrate chair next to him, betrayed his inner uneasiness, and even a trace of anxiety and uneasiness could be seen in his slightly serious eyes.

Wang Jian and Wang Ben died one after another, and Wang Li, the Marquis of Wucheng, was dismissed. If the Marquis of Jingwu Meng Yi and Marquis of Didao Li Xin, the Marquis of Yinshan, were dismissed, almost all the generals he relied on to stabilize the country and country of Qin.

This was an extremely dangerous signal to the First Emperor.

Even if this kind of thing can be delayed, it is said that it will be delayed for a while but not for a lifetime. Qinghe Hou has just left after returning to his hometown to visit his relatives. It will take at least three to five months to return to Beijing. The matter will definitely not be delayed for so long, because the Longxi military camp and the two armies stationed in the Western Regions will inevitably be shaken by this matter. If it cannot be comforted in time, it may cause huge disasters.

If the Western Army is unstable, the Western Regions of Liang will inevitably be in chaos.

If the Western Regions are in chaos, the Central Plains will also be in turmoil and uneasy, and the nobles of the six countries will inevitably be ready to move. I heard that countless people from the six countries have gathered in the East China Sea, and news has come from Yingzhou. A former Wei prime minister Gongsun Yan, the descendant of Gongsun Yan, has raised the banner of Wei in Yingzhou, and started a dynasty to build a yamen to try to restore the Wei State. If the disaster is intertwined with east and west, the Qin Dynasty will be uneasy.

The First Emperor was sitting upright on the dragon bed and was hesitant, and the civil and military officials in the court kept getting up and asking for punishment for Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin and others. After more than ten minutes, the sound in the court gradually faded, and then turned into a kind of silence like death.

"All my dear friends are right. Rewards and punishments are the result of the laws. The rulers of Jingwu and others are not strict. The Western army soldiers stealing and selling enamel equipment have indeed violated the military law. I am not punishing them. But the two Western troops are thousands of miles away from Xianyang. If they lose the master general, they will inevitably be unstable. Moreover, the generals and generals of the Western Army are almost completely impeached. If the imperial edict is punished, the Western army will be in a complete way. Liang Kingdom and the Western Regions are the channels for our Great Qin to plan for the Western countries in the future. There must be no mistakes and turmoil. I need time to deal with it properly. Today's court proposal will give up. Please ask Feng Prime Minister Feng Zhongcheng and Doctor Meng to follow me to discuss countermeasures and disperse the court!"
