Merits Are Merits, Demerits Are Demerits!
The execution ground.
The atmosphere was silent.
It was unprecedentedly quiet.
After hearing Ying Ziye's words, no one spoke again.
They didn't know what to say, nor did they know what to say.
Just like that, everyone was silent for an unknown period of time.
Finally, someone shifted his gaze to Ying Zheng and said in a hoarse voice,""Your Majesty, even if the Ninth Hall His Highness does not forgive us, please spare the Ninth Hall His Highness 'death penalty on account of his great service to the common people!”
The commoners seemed to have found a way to make themselves feel at ease.
They also pleaded for Ying Ziye again.
At this moment, Ying Zheng had already made up his mind.
He looked at the commoners, took a deep breath, and was about to speak.
"Your Majesty!"
However, at this moment, a sorrowful voice suddenly sounded.
He saw Wang Qian, the internal history of Zisu, walk out.
The internal historian was one of the nine ministers and was in charge of Great Qin's finances. His status was extremely high.
Therefore, he attracted a lot of attention as soon as he walked out.
Wang Qian bowed to Ying Zheng and said loudly,""I disagree!"
Everyone was stunned by his words.
The commoners were stunned.
Li Si and the others were also shocked.
What was Wang Qian trying to do?
Why did he stand up and object at this time?
Zhao Gao and Huhai looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
They were worried about what to do.
Unexpectedly, someone took the initiative to stand up and help them stop it.
Ying Zheng's face darkened. He looked at Wang Qian, the internal historian of the grain, and said in a low voice,""Why not?"
At this moment, Wang Qian seemed to be unafraid of Ying Zheng's majesty.
He raised his head and said loudly," Your Majesty, merits are merits, and faults are faults. How can merits and faults be reduced to mere words?”
"Great Qin rules the country with strict laws. Merits are rewarded and mistakes are punished. However, merits and mistakes have always been separated from each other.”
"If Your Majesty were to pardon the Ninth Prince today, wouldn't that shake Great Qin's rule?”
Li Si's eyes widened.
He didn't expect Wang Qian to use this matter.
Indeed, Great Qin had started off with a system of military merits, and later on, it had used the strict laws of Legalism to govern the country.
Merits and demerits had always been separate.
It was to prevent those who had contributed to the Six Nations from using their contributions to do whatever they wanted.
Therefore, merits and demerits were separated, and everyone was in charge of their own affairs.
He would never give people the chance to make up for their mistakes with their merits.
To avoid causing trouble.
Wang Qian's words were reasonable.
It was fine if no one said this, but since someone had said it, this exception could not be casually made.
Otherwise, there would be people who would question why the imperial family could make such an exception.
Then, would the meritorious officials who had been severely punished be disappointed?
Li Si frowned.
Huhai and Zhao Gao were pleasantly surprised.
Huhai couldn't help but look at Ying Ziye with joy.
He wanted to see if Ying Ziye's hopes would be dashed and if he would be in despair.
However, to his surprise, Ying Ziye didn't react at all when Wang Qian stood up.
Ying Ziye didn't even look at Wang Qian, who was trying to stop him from living.
At most, he only saw a trace of helplessness in Ying Ziye's eyes.
"Helpless?"
Huhai was stunned.
He didn't understand why Ying Ziye would reveal such a strange expression at this moment.
And Ying Ziye was really helpless at this time.
If Wang Qian did not step forward, then everyone would have to face their own memories.
He felt that he had done something satisfying.
He felt that he was upholding justice and punishing evil.
It was a very normal thing.
But now, Wang Qian had stepped forward.
Then the situation would be different.
"How are you trying to kill me?”
Ying Ziye was very helpless." You clearly want me to become a great hero. You want to make Imperial Father and the others blame themselves more."”
"At the same time…"
Ying Ziye looked at Wang Qian with some pity,""You want to send yourself to a dead end."
Why was he in such a hurry?
When you remember that moment, you naturally can't escape.
But now, you've taken the initiative to step forward, so you can't escape even more.
——
His thoughts on Ying Ziye.
Wang Qian and the others naturally did not know.
At this moment, Wang Qian stopped Ying Zheng with righteous words.
Hearing Wang Qian's words, Ying Zheng's gaze turned extremely cold.
Although Wang Qian's advice was indeed reasonable.
However, when Ying Zheng was full of remorse and self-blame, Wang Qian had said these words that wanted to kill Ying Ziye. No matter how wise Ying Zheng was, he couldn't tolerate it.
"I understand your meaning," he said in a deep voice.”
"However, this is not his merit."
"This is the credit of saving all of Great Qin's people. How can it compare to other credits?”
"He saved the common people. Could it be that the common people can't spare his life?”
Wang Qian, the internal secretary of the government, felt the coldness in Ying Zheng's eyes, and felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
However, he still gritted his teeth.
He raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng, suddenly crying out in grief.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten what Ying Ziye did after that?”
"Indeed, he has been misunderstood.”
"What about my son? Did my filial and kind son deserve to die?”
"He deserved to be killed by Ying Ziye to vent his anger?”
"Your Majesty, Ying Ziye doesn't deserve to die, but my son deserves to die?”
Wang Qian cried out in grief.
His voice instantly resounded throughout the entire execution ground.
The commoners were stunned.
Some people didn't know about this.
But some people still knew.
"Lord Wang Qian's son was killed by Ninth Hall His Highness?”
"Really?"
"I've heard about this. I remember that not long after the Ninth Hall His Highness was released from his confinement, he had a conflict with Lord Wang's son, Wang Chengce.”
"I remember that it wasn't just one stab. Nine Hall His Highness was like a demon and stabbed many times.”
"Really?"
"How could it be fake? It's just that at that time, His Majesty the First Emperor had already gone to the Six Nations and was not in Xianyang. Therefore, he directly ordered the Ninth Hall His Highness to be imprisoned for a full year.”
"Wang Chengce died at night, and the next day, he was hung on the city wall by the Ninth Hall His Highness. Many people saw it, and Wang Chengce was really miserable.”
Someone gasped.""Even if Nine Hall His Highness is angry because he was misunderstood, he shouldn't have done such a thing!”
"That's right. At that time, many people said that His Highness had gone mad, and that His Highness had completely exposed his evil nature.”
"Sigh, although I sympathize with Your Highness's experience, Your Highness really shouldn't have killed innocent people to vent your anger.”
"I heard that Wang Chengce had a very good reputation. At that time, he was on par with the Eldest Young Master, Prince Fusu.”
"Ninth Highness has fallen into the devil path, it really shouldn't have happened. Now the father is crying out for his son, it's understandable.”
"That's right, looks like Lord Wang Qian really loves his son. Even after fifteen years, he still remembers the pain of losing his son.”
"After all, such a good son, famous all over the world, is gone just like that. Who wouldn't be sad?”
"Yes, I understand Lord Wang Qian.”
The commoners whispered among themselves.
There was a lot of discussion.
They didn't notice.
Bai Mei 'er, who was in the middle of them, couldn't hide the hatred in her eyes.
She gripped her weapon tightly, her eyes as sharp as knives.
She stared at the tearful Wang Qian, watched him cry about his son, and listened to the discussions of the surrounding commoners.
She really wanted to ask Wang Qian what kind of face he had to dare to say these words!
His son was gentle and kind?
Then there would be no demons in this world!
He really wanted to ask these commoners.
You know nothing!
You don't know anything, and you're blaming His Highness again based on these hearsay!
Fifteen years ago.
It was still the same now!
No wonder His Highness did not forgive you.
You are not worthy!
You don't know anything!
What right do you have to talk about His Highness?
Bai Mei 'er felt as if her killing intent was about to explode in her heart!
Her watery eyes were filled with incomparable hatred, endless killing intent, and uncontrollable heartache!
"Don't be angry."
At this time, Ying Ziye seemed to know the anger and hatred in her heart.
A gentle voice rang in her ears.
"The memory is almost there."
"Everyone will know the truth.”
Bai Mei 'er bit her lip, her face filled with grief and sadness."But Your Highness, you've been wronged again.”
Ying Ziye smiled lightly.
"I can save you from the sea of bitterness."
"I can avenge you."
"This grievance is worth it."
Bai Mei 'er covered her face.
He cried silently.
Because she knew.
His Highness felt wronged this time.
It was all for her!
