Chapter 126: Brother, can you get out?
Big bird man.
This word may sound a bit funny in modern times, but in the Qin Dynasty, it was equivalent to calling the First Emperor an idiot.
The First Emperor's expression became visibly gloomy, and the banquet atmosphere in the Xuanniao Hall also changed from cheerful to dull along with the First Emperor's expression.
"Today I am hosting a grand banquet for all my ministers and I do not want to kill anyone. Chunyu Yue, if you return to your seat and say nothing more, I will forgive you. If you continue to speak unreasonably, you are forcing me to kill you."
The First Emperor looked at Zhao Gao, then at the wine jar on his desk.
Zhao Gao understood.
He respectfully took the wine jar, held it with both hands, bowed and walked in front of Chunyu Yue.
He lowered his head slightly and pushed the wine jar towards Chunyu Yue.
"I will give you a glass of wine, and all you said before will be drunken talk."
Although Your Majesty loves to engage in military affairs, he is extremely magnanimous towards us.
Wei Zhuang's political struggle failed, but Your Majesty did not kill anyone.
Dun was weak and disrespectful and acted rebelliously, but Your Majesty did not kill him.
Chunyu Yue insulted His Majesty in the palace, but His Majesty did not kill anyone.
All the ministers sighed with admiration and believed that the First Emperor had done his utmost.
"If Chunyu Yue doesn't do it for profit, then he does it for fame."
"Today's incident has been publicized by Confucian scholars all over the world, and Chunyu Yue's reputation as a righteous man has become known to the world."
"After drinking this wine, you can return to your seat."
The ministers were discussing in low voices.
Chunyu Yue stared at Zhao Gao who was handing the wine jar to him and sneered.
"Every dynasty has had a chariot official, but our dynasty has had a middle chariot official. When will a castrated person be able to enjoy the throne? If the body is broken, the heart is broken. A eunuch with a cruel heart can naturally occupy a high position in the temple, and the officials are used to it. This is a big mistake! It is a sign of the collapse of the dynasty!"
Talking.
Chunyu Yue was not polite at all and waved his hand to knock the wine jar out of Zhao Gao's hand.
The wine spilled on the ground.
The wine bottle fell to the ground and rolled twice.
Zhao Gao 's eyes were filled with anger and he was full of murderous intent towards Chunyu Yue.
"How can this wine be paired with Yue's? If Your Majesty is interested, why don't you personally pour a bottle of fine wine and present it to Yue?"
The clinking sound of wine bottles falling to the ground lingered in the hearts of the ministers.
All the ministers were silent, with only one thought in their minds.
Chunyu Yue’s life is over!
Asking the First Emperor to pour the wine and to present it to him personally was a request that had never been heard of by the ministers.
Dun Ruo was already called a lunatic because he refused to bow to the emperor. Chunyu Yue's behavior was more than ten times more serious than Dun Ruo's.
"Chun Yuyue." The First Emperor's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he said, "You are forcing me to kill you."
Queen Afang patted the young boy who was holding the meat and eating it with great relish beside her.
"Go to Da Zheng Palace and tell your elder brother what happened here."
The child shook his head and muttered while eating meat, "No, no, no, this rude person who stabs the king in the face should be killed. Why should the queen mother care about him?"
"You read a lot, so go ahead if I ask you to!"
"My mother is soft-hearted towards others, but not towards Jianglu. When she attacked Jianglu, even my mother couldn't stop her."
"If you keep talking too much, your mother will cut off your meat supply."
"...Just go to Jianglu."
Ying Jianglu, the third son of the Qin Dynasty, took the last few bites of chopsticks and stuffed all the meat into his mouth before running out of the Xuanniao Palace.
…
Da Zheng Palace.
"stop!"
Ying Fusu took a quick step and stood in front of the many eunuchs and palace maids.
"Gao, how can you give such an order!"
Ying Gao looked puzzled and asked, "Why didn't you kill these servants who were trying to stop my brothers?"
"Didn't you hear that they would die as soon as I left the Zheng Palace? They are fighting for their own lives!"
"Brother, how could you say such a thing?" Ying Gao's eyes were filled with confusion, and he asked, "Can you stop my brother just for your own life?"
"What's wrong with fighting for your own life?"
"Today they can stop you because of my uncle's words. If my uncle says tomorrow that they can only live by assassinating you, will you let them kill you? Brother, if you are like this, Gao will compete with you for the throne of the second emperor."
Ying Gao calculated the time seriously, and then said to Ying Fusu who was speechless: "Brother, if you hesitate any longer, father will kill your teacher."
Ying Fusu was extremely anxious.
He was dressed up to attend the grand banquet in Xuanniao Palace, but was stopped by these eunuchs and palace maids.
Want to leave immediately.
But when he turned around and saw the eunuchs and palace maids whose faces were terrified and pale, he felt reluctant.
Ying Gao gave a look to his personal eunuch Kang Jian - kill all these people.
Kang Jian glanced at Ying Fusu and shook his head - No, the eldest prince doesn't allow it.
Ying Gao was a little anxious and looked at him again - kill him, I will take responsibility if anything happens!
Kang Jian lowered his head, pretending not to notice Ying Gao's look.
Ying Gao knew Kang Jian's difficulties, so he openly killed the eunuchs and palace maids in the bedroom of the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty. Even when the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty strictly refused, this was seeking death.
But these eunuchs and palace maids were still alive, and Ying Fusu refused to go out, which made Ying Gao very annoyed.
The fourteen-year-old boy took a few quick steps and rushed to Ying Fusu, wanting to draw the sword at Ying Fusu's waist and chop the people in front of him into pieces.
Ying Fusu stopped Ying Gao.
The two brothers were arguing.
After a moment.
The third son, Ying Jianglu, who was chewing non-stop, lay on the back of a eunuch and entered the gate of the Da Zheng Palace.
When Ying Jianglu saw Ying Fusu and Ying Gao arguing, his eyes lit up. He jumped off the eunuch's back, picked up the fruits on the table in the Da Zheng Palace, and ate them while watching.
"Come on, second brother, we'll get it soon!"
The two brothers Ying Fusu and Ying Gao were in a stalemate for a moment, and both felt that they were like those actors in the performance, so they stopped tacitly.
Ying Gao snatched the fruit from Ying Jianglu's mouth and said with a smile, "Little Taotie, what are you doing here?"
Ying Jianglu looked at his two brothers Ying Fusu and Ying Gao with an expression of being unsatisfied, as if he still wanted to see the two brothers fight.
"Chun Yuyue committed treason and cursed my father. He even asked my father to serve him wine. My father wanted to kill him."
"Such an important matter! Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Ying Fusu was startled and was about to leave in a hurry.
Crash~
All the eunuchs and palace maids in the Da Zheng Palace blocked the door, refusing to let Ying Fusu leave, and they were all in tears.
"Please have mercy on our lives, young master!"
Little Taotie Ying Jianglu opened his eyes wide in surprise and said to the second son Ying Gao: "Second brother, what are they doing?"
"They are stopping Big Brother."
Ying Jianglu looked at Ying Fusu, who was unable to move and looked unhappy, but said nothing. He swallowed all the food in his mouth, put down the fruits in his hands, and said to Ying Gao: "Second brother, I don't want to be a general anymore."
Ying Gao looked at his eldest brother irritably, and asked his third brother, "What do you want to do?"
"I want to be the second emperor of Qin."
Ying Gao said unhappily: "Even the eldest brother can't do it, you still have a second brother."
"I can't win against you, big brother. But if you don't do it, then I, Ying Jianglu, will be the second emperor of Qin."
This time, Ying Gao finally turned around, looked at Ying Jianglu who was serious, and said, "Why?"
"Because I often go to Chang'an Palace to play glass balls with the Grand Mother, and I have never won once."
"…What does this have to do with the throne?"
Ying Jianglu looked at Ying Gao as if he were a child, even though Ying Gao was three months older than him.
My stupid second brother.
Time passed minute by minute, Ying Fusu became extremely anxious and could not wait any longer.
He hardened his heart, kicked hard, and kicked a eunuch in front of him away, then strode out.
"Don't worry, I will take care of your uncle and protect his life!"
But the eunuchs and palace maids did not believe this.
One after another, like a relay, they stood in front of Ying Fusu.
They had nothing else to say but wept bitterly, repeating over and over again, "Please, Master, have mercy on our lives!"
Squeak
Ying Fusu's eyes were red, he drew his sword, and shouted at the eunuchs and palace maids: "Your lives are lives, my teacher's life, and the lives of thousands of Confucian disciples are not lives? If you dare to stop me again, I will kill you all here!"
When Ying Gao heard Ying Fusu's words, his eyes lit up.
He turned around and looked for the eunuch Kang Jian, wanting Kang Jian to kill all these people quickly.
But when he looked at the place where Kang Jian had just stood, he did not see Kang Jian.
Kang Jian is no longer seen in the front hall of the Da Zheng Palace.
"Healthy! Healthy!"
Ying Gao shouted twice, but no one outside the hall answered.
Inside the hall, the eunuchs and palace maids who were forced by Ying Fusu's sword instinctively shrank back a little.
Seeing that Ying Fusu was about to rush out, they immediately thought of Manager Zhao, who had followed Ying Fusu since childhood and was tragically beheaded by Ying Chengjiao with a single sword.
Changan Jun really knows how to kill people...
Young Master, it shouldn’t be like that!
The fear of Ying Chengjiao was greater than the sword in Ying Fusu's hand.
These people rushed forward and tried to snatch the sword from Ying Fusu's hand.
Ying Gao was furious.
Run out of the Da Zheng Palace.
He ordered the palace officials outside the Zheng Palace: "Why don't you hurry in and put down the rebellion!"
Xialang walked to the palace gate, looked inside, clasped his fists and saluted to Ying Gao, and said respectfully: "Second Master, we have received an order. If the lives of the masters are not in danger today, we are not allowed to enter the palace."
"What if I insist that you enter the temple?"
Ying Gao's face turned cold.
Despite his young age, he exudes a lot of pressure.
Xia Lang's heart trembled.
He secretly thought that he was worthy of being the son of His Majesty.
But he still insisted on his own opinion, clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Please don't embarrass us, Second Young Master."
Ying Gao snorted coldly and stepped forward to pull out the sword from Xia Lang's waist. Xia Lang protected the sword at his waist.
Ying Gao's anger rose again, and he asked coldly, "Can I borrow your sword for a moment?"
Xia Lang apologized, but still said firmly, "I have an order, I am sorry I cannot obey it."
The third son, Ying Jianglu, leaned against the gate of the Da Zheng Palace, peeling an orange while watching Ying Gao and Xia Lang negotiate.
"My stupid second brother."
Behind him, Ying Fusu was fighting with the eunuchs and palace maids.
Although Ying Fusu's martial arts skills were not at the highest level, it was still easy for him to defeat these eunuchs and palace maids.
The reason why he kept fighting with these eunuchs and palace maids was because Ying Fusu was unable to take strong measures.
Ying Jianglu turned around and watched his elder brother tying his own hands and feet while gradually being lost in the crowd.
Throwing an orange slice into his mouth, Ying Jianglu chewed it and sighed, "My stupid brother."
Why does your uncle treat you so well?
Ying Jianglu didn't say this out loud.
The personal eunuch who had escorted Ying Jianglu here stepped forward and advised, "Third Young Master, please eat less."
"Uh-huh."
Ying Jianglu responded while continuing to stuff oranges into his mouth.
"This is what Lord Chang'an meant."
"in spite of!"
Ying Jianglu suddenly became angry and stuffed all the oranges into his mouth, chewing them continuously.
"He won't help me become the second emperor of Qin, so why should I care so much?"
The personal eunuch dared not speak and bowed his head silently.
"They say I have no heart. I can be a general but not a king. I can conquer the world but not rule it."
Ying Jianglu looked at Ying Fusu, whose clothes were disheveled and whose sword was held in the hands of a eunuch, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.
"Is this what you call being kind? The ruler is not a ruler, the ministers are not ministers, the government is upside down, how can Qin be strong?"
"Brother San, get out of the way! You're blocking my way!"
A clear loli voice came into Ying Jianglu's ears, and Ying Jianglu turned around to look.
Then he saw a delicate little girl standing behind him with her fists clenched and a fierce look on her face.
The fifth princess of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Yinman.
A smile immediately appeared on Ying Jianglu's face, and he reached out to touch Ying Yinman's head.
Before he could touch it, Ying Yinman, who looked unhappy, slapped it mercilessly.
"Don't touch my head! You're not my elder! I'll beat you up!"
"Tsk, who cares?" Ying Jianglu rolled his eyes and said, "Where is my fourth brother? Why did the Queen Mother send you here?"
The first time he saw Ying Yinman, Ying Jianglu knew that something had happened in the Xuanniao Palace again.
"Fourth brother is being cunning. He went to our father to show his courtesy and didn't want to come out. Humph! Shameless villain! I will beat him up tomorrow!"
Being content with pleasure, he is not capable of great use.
Ying Jianglu thought to himself and nodded towards the hall.
"Go and report?"
Ying Yinman heard the sounds of fighting inside, poked her little head out and her big eyes suddenly widened.
"What are they doing?"
"Fighting with big brother."
"fight!"
Ying Yinman screamed in surprise.
But there was no panic in the voice, instead it was full of excitement.
Whoosh
Ying Yinman, who was only eleven years old, rushed into the Da Zheng Palace in an instant. The girl rushed into the crowd like a tiger into a flock of sheep.
Punches, kicks, shoulders and knees.
In a short moment, six people were knocked to the ground, and it was difficult for them to get up quickly.
Just as she was about to expand her victory, her pink fist was suddenly held in someone's palm.
"Hey, you are good at martial arts, you can stop this princess, ah, it's big brother! Yin Man didn't mean it, don't lecture Yin Man."
The girl raised her head and suddenly wilted.
The person she saw was her elder brother Ying Fusu.
The girl was so excited in the fight that she didn't even distinguish between friend and foe, and almost beat up Ying Fusu as well.
In the past, Ying Fusu would have talked to Ying Yinman about women's virtues and manners, and advised his fifth sister not to always be so fond of fighting and killing.
But today, Ying Fusu didn't have that thought in mind.
From the first moment he saw Ying Yinman, he had a bad feeling in his heart!
"Fifth sister, why are you here?"
"Brother, you hurt me."
Ying Yinman pulled the pink fist that Ying Fusu was holding in his hand and shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Oh, oh, oh, it's my fault, it's my fault."
Ying Fusu quickly let go.
Ying Yinman rubbed his fists and looked at the eunuchs and palace maids who had temporarily retreated and were slowly getting up from the ground, his eyes still full of residual fighting spirit.
The people in eldest brother’s palace are still the most powerful.
Anyone in my palace who receives one punch from me will fall to the ground and be unable to get up, and will have to be carried away.
Looking at Ying Yinman’s eager look.
The ominous feeling in Ying Fusu's heart subsided a little.
If something big happened in Xuanniao Palace, the fifth sister would not be like this. It seems that there is still a chance to save everything.
"Fifth sister, did my master say anything to make father angry again?"
When Ying Yinman saw that Ying Fusu didn't lecture her, she suddenly became happy, like a little sparrow.
"Chun Yu Yue was killed by my father. Those Confucian scholars insulted my father and said he was a tyrant like Jie of Xia, Zhou of Shang, and King You of Zhou. My father was so angry that he wanted to kill them all!"
Master Chunyu, dead?
If I were in Xuanniao Palace, Master Chunyu would not have suffered this misfortune.
Ying Fusu's face turned pale and his body trembled like a sieve.
He took a step back and sat down on the ground.
Standing like a wooden chicken, as if struck by lightning.
The little girl squatted down, tried her best to help Ying Fusu up, and asked with concern: "Brother, what's wrong with you? The Queen Mother asked Yin Man to come and find you, and said that if you don't go, there will be no Confucianism in the world."
Ying Fusu suppressed the tears that were about to burst out, suppressed the pain of losing his master, and said with red eyes: "Let's go, big brother will go with you, big brother will go with you right now."
I can’t let my father kill me anymore…
The little loli supported Ying Fusu and only took a small step forward.
Crash~
A group of eunuchs and palace maids stood in front of the two men.
They were in tears, their clothes were in disarray, and they kowtowed in a miserable state.
"Please, Master, have mercy on our lives!"
"How dare you!"
Ying Gao was furious and was about to rush in.
An arm blocked him. It was Ying Jianglu who had been leaning against the gate of the Da Zheng Palace.
"Third brother, this is not the time for you to act willfully!"
My stupid second brother.
Ying Jianglu said helplessly: "Second brother, this is not the time for you to be willful."
The front hall of Dazheng Palace.
Ying Fusu pushed his fifth sister away.
Ying Fusu, who was always known for his benevolence, ignored the requests of these eunuchs and palace maids.
Step by step, walking towards the crowd...
Behind the crowd.
The second son Ying Gao, the third son Ying Jianglu, the fifth princess Ying Yinman, the Queen Afang, the Lord of Chang'an Ying Chengjiao, the eunuchs and palace maids of the Da Zheng Palace were all allowed to enter and exit freely, but Ying Fusu was the only one who was not allowed to leave the Da Zheng Palace.
Ying Jianglu turned his head and looked at his elder brother Ying Fusu, with complicated emotions in his heart.
He knows.
When his elder brother stepped out of the gate of the Zheng Palace, he was like a broken man who was reborn from the ashes, and his mind and character became high, and he became the Second Emperor of the Qin Dynasty!
If his elder brother could not even step out of the gate of the Zheng Palace in such a situation, he would probably become depressed and unable to recover, and would be completely useless and abandoned by the First Emperor.
A useless person cannot be the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty.
At that time, Ying Jianglu will have the biggest opportunity in his life.
Ying Jianglu wanted to be the second emperor of Qin, but he didn't want to see Ying Fusu become a cripple.
The conflicted third prince of the Qin Dynasty ate oranges and looked at Ying Fusu expressionlessly.
Brother, can you get out?
