Chapter 28 No one is allowed to enter without permission! Violators will be killed!
"Do you think I dare not kill you?" Ying Zheng's eyes swept towards the door.
Seeing that the person standing there was not Zhao Gao who was half-turned towards the door, but Gai Nie who was facing the palace door, he sighed inwardly.
If Zhao Gao had been paying attention to me all the time, he would have come over and knelt on the ground, hugging my legs and begging for mercy.
Ying Zheng didn't want to kill Ying Fusu, but the situation had developed to this point and it would be too embarrassing for him to throw away the Qin Sword in his hand.
He now urgently needs someone who can break the stalemate between father and son, and in the past this person was Zhao Gao.
All he needed was a look from him and Zhao Gao would come forward and kneel down. This was the tacit understanding between the monarch and his subjects.
And now, the task of issuing the seal and talisman has been changed to Gai Nie.
Ying Zheng was a little distressed.
Gai Nie had his back to him and was facing the door.
Even if Gai Nie is an intelligent and sensible person who can do things as he wishes, he still needs to have eyes behind his head.
Gai Nie didn't have eyes behind his head, so he couldn't see his own eyes. This meant that in this hall, no one would offer him a step.
How should this situation be resolved?
Ying Zheng was distressed.
"Fusu has never thought of this. When my father was angry, blood flowed everywhere. I don't know how many people died under his sword. My father was able to kill so many children that there were no children left in Handan City. What's the difference between Fusu and those children of Zhao who jumped off the city wall?"
These words made Ying Zheng's anger grow even more intense, and he really had the urge to kill his eldest son at all costs.
At the door, Gai Nie tightened his grip on the sword.
There is murderous intent!
Several years ago, King Jian of Qin led his army to destroy Zhao.
The final battle took place in Handan, the capital of Zhao State. The most shocking scene in the history of wars during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period occurred.
On the 13-meter-high city wall of Handan, which was made mainly of blue-gray bricks and stones, young children, no taller than the wheels of a car, were standing on the ground, crying and being thrown down by the Zhao army, like dumplings falling into a frying pan.
From the battlements on the city wall, the Zhao army shouted excitedly, enthusiastically, and hatefully: "The Zhao people will never surrender to Qin!"
On the ground outside the city wall, children's heads, no bigger than an adult's palm, were everywhere. This war that had lasted for more than 500 years in Chinese history had burned children for the first time.
When the news came out, the whole world was shocked!
Even in the Battle of Changping that shocked the world and buried 400,000 Zhao soldiers alive! Bai Qi, the Qin Wu'an Jun who was scolded as a butcher, did not bury alive anyone who was shorter than a wheel!
Bai Qi, an extremely vicious man, compared his height to that of his chariot wheels.
More than 240 Zhao soldiers who were not even as tall as the wheels of the chariots were sent back to Zhao. They were the real Zhao soldiers who went to the battlefield, not children!
Soon, a rumor spread.
King Ying Zheng of Qin was tyrannical and cruel. He ordered Wang Jian to massacre the city of Handan on the day he captured the city. No one in Handan, young or old, should be spared.
Everyone in Handan, from the kings and nobles to the children, swears to live and die with Handan!
More than 8,000 years old, a child who was too young to participate in the defense of the city shouted "The people of Zhao will never surrender to Qin" and jumped off the city wall of Handan!
How magnificent!
This rumor, promoted by monarchs of various countries, quickly spread throughout the world and replaced the original facts.
The image of the tyrannical King of Qin was deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the weak-willed armies of various countries picked up their weapons again and fought tenaciously against Qin.
By now, the six kingdoms have been destroyed.
But the lives of the 8,000 children under the city of Handan were still blamed on the First Emperor by the world.
…
If I had issued the order to massacre the city back then, there should not have been a single person who accepted the surrender in front of the gate of King Zhao's palace. Why did all the princes and ministers fail to surrender?
I want to unify the world. After destroying Zhao, there are still four countries to destroy: Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi. Did I issue the order to massacre the city in order to let those four countries unite and besiege Qin? How could I be so stupid!
This rebellious son couldn't even see through the state affairs and actually believed the rumors!
Such a short-sightedness!
Not of much use!
Ying Zheng felt very disappointed in himself!
"Fusu cannot obtain the order from my father to pardon all prisoners in the world today, but being able to die under the sword of King Qin will also be a comfort to my heart!" Ying Fusu bowed again, but this time he could not bear to bow for long!
This bow really put Ying Zheng in a dilemma!
Cut it down with this sword, my dear son, I can’t bear to do it.
If I don't chop down with my sword, according to what this bastard wants, I will have to agree to his advice to pardon all prisoners in the world - it would be better to chop down with my sword! Can virtue influence the world? What a joke! Absurd!
I am holding the sword of King Qin. If Cheng Jiao is in this hall, he can escape within a stick of incense. Why didn't Cheng Jiao teach this rebellious son how to deal with it?
Forget it, just kill this rebellious son.
If Zhao Gao were here, he would definitely be able to stop me.
After a few days, find an excuse and let Zhao Gao come in to grind ink.
Ying Zheng made up his mind and swung his sword at Ying Fusu without any delay or hesitation.
This time, Ying Zheng was not trying to scare Ying Fusu, his sword was meant to draw blood!
The dignity of the emperor cannot be violated!
When Ying Fusu heard the sound of the sword breaking through the air, he went to his death bravely.
Buzz~
He felt no pain, but a half-white shirt appeared in his sight and a ringing sound was heard in his ears.
The trembling sound was definitely not the sound of weapons clashing. Ying Fusu recognized that the white shirt in front of him was the one worn by Gai Nie.
His heart trembled. Could it be that Mr. Gai used his body to block the sword for me?
He looked up suddenly and saw Gai Nie standing in front of him, and the sword at Gai Nie's waist was not moved at all!
Mr. Gai actually used his body to block the sword!
"No!"
Ying Fusu used both hands to try to push Gai Nie to the side - Gai Nie did not move at all.
Although Ying Fusu also learned some martial arts, he was still far behind Gai Nie, who was famous for his swordsmanship.
Unable to push him open, Ying Fusu ran quickly to Gai Nie again, and his voice arrived before he did.
"Mr. Gai was injured because of Fusu. Fusu cannot get compensation even if he dies. Pay, pay, pay?" Ying Fusu stuttered.
His brain was a little off.
Can the sword still be held with two fingers?
Ying Zheng's sword was held between Gai Nie's index finger and middle finger. The vibration just now was the violent vibration of the sword being stopped by the two fingers while moving at high speed!
When Gai Nie made his move, a flash of joy flashed across Ying Zheng's face, and the idea of exchanging Zhao Gao back was instantly thrown out of the window - if Zhao Gao had his back to me, I would not have stopped this sword without my instructions.
By the time Ying Fusu ran over, Ying Zheng's face had already returned to its previous angry expression.
"Get out of the way! I want to kill this rebellious son!"
Gai Nie could no longer sense any murderous intent from Ying Zheng, and knowing that Ying Zheng would not kill Ying Fusu, he let go of his hand expressionlessly.
Dang~
As Gai Nie let go, the Qin King Sword fell to the ground. Ying Zheng was stunned and kept silent for two breaths. Then he became furious: "Gai Nie! How dare you take my sword!"
Gai Nie: "..."
This must be what you call a drama queen.
"Your Majesty, I will go and ask Lord Chang'an to come here."
Any difficult matters that are not related to the sword can be left to you, young master - this is the truth that Gai Nie realized when he was a retainer of Ying Chengjiao.
Ying Zheng pointed at Gai Nie with an angry look on his face and said sternly: "You mean! I am not as good as Ying Chengjiao!"
"I dare not!" Gai Nie was startled.
I've neglected it! This is Zhangtai Palace, not Chang'an Palace! How could Your Majesty need you to handle trivial matters like I do!
Ying Fusu watched Ying Zheng scolding Gai Nie, and bent down to pick up the Sword of King Qin. He wanted to stand in front of Ying Zheng holding the Sword of King Qin.
Ying Fusu would first ask Gai Nie not to interfere, and then ask Ying Zheng to make a choice - if he does not agree to pardon all the prisoners in the world, then kill me.
Dang~
Ying Zheng became angrier as he spoke, and kicked the Qin King's sword off the ground.
The Qin King's sword flew out from the exhaust hole on the palace window with a whoosh, and landed outside the Zhangtai Palace with a crisp sound.
The exhaust hole on the window was not big, just enough to accommodate three swords coming out side by side.
Even if one intends to throw it, an ordinary person would not be able to do so without learning swordplay for three to five years.
What a coincidence?
Ying Fusu opened his mouth and stared blankly at the trajectory of the Qin King's sword, not knowing what to do next.
The sword is gone!
Gai Nie: ...
Your Majesty is quite skilled in martial arts and your kicks are very accurate.
Peng~
There was a loud bang at the palace door!
Zhao Gao broke into the room and approached Ying Zheng in a flash, like a ghost!
Swish~
No one saw when Gai Nie drew out his sword. The bright sword light flashed through the dark eunuch's uniform and cut off a corner of the eunuch's uniform worn by Zhao Gao. The sword was like a meteor!
The two men confronted each other in front of Ying Zheng, one dressed in white as snow, holding a sword, and the other dressed in black as night, with his hands lowered and respectful.
"Zhao Gao! Who let you in? I said that no one is allowed to approach Zhangtai Palace! You disobeyed my order! You are seeking death!"
Zhao Gao saw the King of Qin's sword flying out of the Zhangtai Palace and was eager to save his master, so he broke into the palace.
But when Ying Zheng scolded him, Zhao Gao did not make any excuses. He lowered his head and said respectfully, "Gao is guilty."
" Go out and receive ten strokes of the cane! No one is allowed to enter without my permission! Violators will be killed!"
"only!"
Zhao Gao faced Ying Zheng and took small steps to exit the Zhangtai Palace.
He returned to Li Si and said to the officials around him, "Your Majesty is fine. I will take the ten strokes of the cane myself, and you two will carry it out."
"only!"
The two officials saluted to Zhao Gao, then pressed him to the ground. One of them took a court stick the size of a bowl and smashed it hard on Zhao Gao's butt!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The sound was dull and you could tell it was not just for show.
The black robe on Zhao Gao's buttocks was soon soaked, and the court stick that fell on his buttocks had faint red spots on it.
Li Si, who was standing next to him with a sore back, suddenly felt relieved of his soreness and pain in his back. He just felt that standing was a very comfortable thing!
If these ten sticks hit me, I would be dead.
Zhao Gao broke in for the safety of Your Majesty, but he was still punished so severely. Is it like living with a tiger to be with the emperor? Living with the emperor is worse than living with a tiger!
I was thinking of breaking into the palace to report to the emperor to show my loyalty, but forget it. I'd better just continue to wait.
Without His Majesty's order, even if you break in out of concern for His Majesty, you will be in trouble, very bad luck!
