Chapter 9 Reward and Punishment

In the hall, the ministers were red and quarreled.

Hu Hai sat on the dragon throne, as if these disputed voices had nothing to do with him, and looked like outsiders. He wanted to see the character of these ministers, so he came before Zhao Gao and pointed to the deer as a horse.

"Okay, it's time to end." Hu Hai said softly impatiently.

The ministers in the hall immediately remained silent. At this moment, the pressure from the second emperor gave them was unprecedented. Zhao Gao and Li Si immediately led the way to kneel on the ground. When the ministers behind saw the two kneeling down, they all knelt all over the ground.

Hu Hai waved his hand. Youzhan, who was standing beside him, immediately shouted lightly: "Retreat."

The ministers were relieved and immediately hurried out of the hall. They were all glad in their hearts that the second emperor did not start a massacre or commit any mistakes. Some ministers with clear minds already felt that the emperor is different from the past, and seems to be more independent and wise, even if he is no less than the late old emperor Ying Zheng.

In the main hall.

Hu Hai looked at the empty palace and secretly felt glad in his heart that it was the first year of Qin II. Zhao Gao had not established a powerful force yet, so it was not difficult to deal with. Chen She and Wu Guang had just had a riot and were still struggling outside Hangu Pass, and everything seemed to be in time.

"Youzhan, see how I should deal with these clowns." Hu Hai supported himself with one hand and stared at the empty hall. His heart hurts. Although he is a history teacher from modern times and is relatively familiar with this history. But now his soul is on Hu Hai, and he is flowing with the blood of the Emperor of the Great Qin, and his nature has to consider the future of the Great Qin.

"Your Majesty, I believe you have a saint. Youzhan can see that Your Majesty is different from the past, and you agree with whatever villain you are." Youzhan became so serious that this jester was quite like a national scholar.

With a long sigh, Hu Hai pondered: "I really want to kill this traitor who flattered the slander."

Youzhan reached out and gently patted Hu Hai's leg, looked up and said, "Your Majesty has already killed too much. I am afraid that the government and the country will be shocked, and the Qin Dynasty will be even more defeated."

"Yes." Hu Hai nodded and looked at Youzhan and said, "Since the First Emperor, you have been in the palace. You have seen a lot of things. Tell me what you think."

After pondering for a while, Youzhan said seriously: "The criminal law of the Qin Dynasty is too harsh and has no lenient harmony. I can't explain it in detail, but I just think that the world should not be governed like this." He looked at it and found that Hu Hai's face was calm. Youzhan hesitated for a moment, but bowed and said, "I'm talking too much."

"It's not a problem, I like to tell the truth." Hu Hai stood up, Chen Jia and Youzhan immediately followed. The king and his ministers returned to Xianyang Palace, and Hu Hai wrote a reward and punishment decree overnight.

On the morning of the next day, Chen Bing loudly announced the decree of Emperor II.

The content is very simple. Yesterday, the person who was referring to a deer as a horse was fined all of them for half a year and was demoted to one level. The emperor's teacher Zhao Gao could not take the lead in giving advice, pointing out the emperor's mistakes, cutting off the position of the emperor's teacher, and thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors. The ministers who told the truth each gave a piece of brocade, a thousand guan of money, and a rank of titles. The ministers who were speechless expressed severe rebukes, and the doctrine of the mean was not suitable for the current Qin officials.

A reward and punishment order was simple and clear. Finally, the ministers saw the true face of the second generation Hu Hai. Some hesitant ministers finally calmed down and devoted themselves to the Qin Dynasty.

After handling the political affairs in the morning, Hu Hai did not rest. He immediately asked Chen Jia to prepare a car, and he wanted to go to Tianzhu to interrogate a major criminal in person.

Outside the Heavenly Prison in Xianyang Palace, the frame of Emperor II suddenly came.

The soldiers guarding the prison were all in fear. After all, the emperor they heard was indeed not very well-known, and they liked to kill, especially their own brothers.

"Take Meng Tian, ​​Your Majesty asks." Chen Jia said seriously to the Tianzhuo in charge.

Soon, Meng Tian, ​​wearing iron chains and torture instruments, was taken to the place where Tianzhuo specially torture the prisoners. In just one day, the veteran Qin Dynasty lost weight again, his eyes were dull, and there seemed to be a few more wrinkles on his face.

"Meng Tian, ​​please see Your Majesty." Meng Tian's voice was old and lacked energy. He could not hear the smell of a general.

Hu Hai glanced at Meng Tian deeply and waved his hand.

Chen Jia immediately understood and asked someone to remove the shackles on Meng Tian's body and let him sit down.

Meng Tian bowed slightly, but didn't thank him, so he sat down directly.

Facing Meng Tian, ​​Hu Hai really didn't know how to explain Fusu's affairs. Now all he could do is to add his sins to Zhao Gao.

"General Meng, Zhao Gao said that you suspect that I ascended the throne is unreasonable and have complaints about me. Is this true?" Hu Hai asked straight to the point.

Meng Tian was slightly stunned. What he was prepared for was that Hu Hai would just punish him with a serious crime and then kill him. However, he didn't expect that Hu Hai asked such a big deal. Calm down, Meng Tian said in a deep voice: "The old minister did not die with Master Fusu, just wanted to keep his life and find out about this matter. Please ask Your Majesty to give the old minister an explanation."

Hu Hai smiled slightly and asked, "What I said, do you believe it?"

Meng Tian bowed his hand and looked at Hu Hai with his eyes shining, saying, "Your Majesty's golden mouth and jade teeth, why bother lying to the prisoner of the old minister."

Hu Hai nodded and said, "When the initial emperor passed away on a parade, Zhao Gao suddenly attacked me and asked me to inherit the throne and killed Fusu. I didn't want to do so, but the situation was critical and I had to surrender to Zhao Gao. Now I took the general back to Xianyang to make the general understand that Hu Hai was not a person who killed indiscriminately. Hu Hai wanted to give the general and Meng Yi a cleansing innocence. I don't believe that the Meng family, who have been loyal to the Qin Dynasty for generations, would rebel against me."

After pausing, Hu Hai continued, "General, the Qin Dynasty is now full of holes and holes being damaged by the thief Zhao Gao. It was not until a few days ago that I secretly arranged to break Zhao Gao's conspiracy. I need a general now, and Da Qin also needs a general." As he said that, he looked at Meng Tian with a bright look. He didn't expect Meng Tian to believe his words, but just gave each other a step.

Sure enough, Meng Tian stood up from the stool, knelt on the ground in a flash, and said in tears: "Your Majesty, I believe it. Please help the old Majesty to fulfill a wish and kill Zhao Gao. I will devote all my efforts to the Qin Dynasty." He said that, and kowtowed a few times on the ground.

Hu Hai quickly helped Meng Tian up and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the old general, I will give the general a satisfactory reply soon."

As he said that, he waved to Chen Jia and said, "Pick a few guards and escort the old general back to the Meng Mansion. At the same time, he also passed on my will to release Meng Yi."

"No." Chen Jia immediately ordered someone to help Meng Tian out of Xianyang prison.

Hu Hai breathed a sigh of relief after coming out of the Xianyang prison. Although he didn't expect to conquer Meng Tian's heart in one go, at least everyone has the opportunity to get to know each other.

He sent Chen Jia to secretly escort the Meng brothers back to Xianyang, and avoided Zhao Gao's eyes and ears. Until now, no one knew that Meng Tian had returned to Xianyang and had met the emperor.

In late autumn, the afternoon sun still leaves the remaining power of summer.

Chen Bing lifted the curtain of the car, and Hu Hai stepped up.

Just as his body had just entered the car and his back was completely facing outside, he heard a "swoosh" sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air, and a feather arrow rushed straight to the back of the second generation Hu Hai like lightning.

"There are assassins."

"Protect the car."

"Puchi." Blood flowers splattered.
