Li Che sat on the throne of the King of Chu in the King of Chu Hall. The soldiers of the Qin army stood on the left and right sides of the hall. Xiao He was not present. After these celebrities of the Chu Kingdom entered the hall, Xiao He retreated to the back hall.
There were no other strategists in the hall except for Li Che.
These celebrities of the Chu Country criticized Li Che for sitting on the throne.
Li Che had already lost his patience with these stubborn people. If he tried to reason with them, it would be like playing the lute to a cow.
It was impossible for a citizen who had just fallen to a subjugated state to immediately accept the new laws and words. They had to undergo a baptism of iron and blood before they could accept reality.
"Li Che, come down now and stand at the side with your hands by your side. If the King of Qin comes, he can do it, but you can't!”Qu Xiong said.
Qu Xiong was Qu Yuan's grandson. Qu Yuan was a famous prime minister of the Chu State. After Qu Yuan's death, the Qu family of the Chu State did not weaken. After the destruction of the Chu State, the Qu and Xiang families were both large families.
However, the Xiang clan was exterminated because they killed the envoy sent by Li Si. The number of descendants who escaped from the Xiang clan was only ten.
The Xiang family of the State of Chu has existed in name only.
Li Che suddenly stood up and stared at the nobles in the hall. He said,""What do you think of the lives of the people when the seven kingdoms were at war?”
None of the celebrities in the hall responded. They wanted to see what Li Che had to say.
Li Che continued," The seven kingdoms have been at war for years. The people can't stand it. Today, they recruit soldiers, and tomorrow, they pay taxes. The cycle goes on and on. The fields are barren, and most of the people die in their thirties. How miserable is that? Now that the world is settled, do you want to restart the war?”
As soon as Li Che finished speaking, Qu Xiong's eyes widened and he said,""The people of the Chu Country live and work in peace and contentment. If it wasn't for the Qin Country coming to war, how would the people of the Chu Country suffer? Qin Country is the source of war, you don't have to put on an act here and talk about the sufferings of the people.”
Li Che listened to Qu Xiong's words and smiled.""You are indeed eloquent. You are indeed the descendant of Minister Qu, but you don't have Minister Qu's courage.”
"What courage?"
" When Chu was defeated, Minister Qu committed suicide by jumping into the river. When Chu perished, Xiang Yan committed suicide by cutting her own throat. Yet, you are bragging shamelessly here…"
Li Che's words made Qu Xiong's face turn ugly, leaving all the Chu celebrities speechless.
"I came to Chu to issue the laws of Qin. I came to Chu to let the people of Chu live and work in peace and contentment. I'm not here to argue with you. You have to obey my orders.”
"If you are unwilling, then follow Wang Chu!”
As soon as Li Che finished speaking, he turned around and sat back down on his throne.
Li Che had clearly told these celebrities of Chu that he was here to issue laws, not to discuss with them. If they were not willing to respect the laws of Qin, then fine, they could die with Chu. Learn from Xiang Yan and commit suicide on the day of the fall of Chu!
"No matter what, in the old land of the Chu Country, the people of the Chu Country are only Chu Wen!”Qu Xiong was still showing his profligate attitude.
Li Che smiled." I'll give you three days to study the laws of Qin. If you can't read them after three days, I'll let the Qu family go!"”
Li Che's smile was cold.
Qu Xiong's expression changed!
"Zhang Han!"
"I'm here!"
"Investigate the celebrities of Chu who have entered the hall and register them one by one. Send people to protect all their clansmen in Shouchun Prefecture!”
"Yes!"
Zhang Han led 5,000 troops and started to capture the celebrities of Chu who entered the hall.
"Invite these celebrities to the side courtyard. Let me see if their backbones are really strong enough! If they are unable to interpret the laws of Qin in three days, then we will exterminate their race…"
Li Che's voice was very soft, but all the celebrities in the hall felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
"Li Che! You can't do this! We are celebrities of Chu, how can you treat us like this?”
"The Chu Country no longer exists in this world! You are no longer celebrities!"
Clang!
The Taia sword was unsheathed, emitting a piercing purple light and a murderous aura.
"This sword of mine is called the Taia Sword. It's the King Chu Sword. King Chu has killed many people with this sword, but I have never killed anyone. However, in three days, this sword will see blood. I really want to know if there's any difference between the blood of a famous person and the blood of a pig or a dog!”
Clang!
The Tai'e Sword returned to its scabbard. Li Che looked at the Chu State's celebrities who had been scared out of their wits and said,""My orders are the will of the heavens! I've already given you the choice of life and death. Since you've all read a lot of books, make your own choice!”
Li Che waved his hand, and the Chu celebrities who had entered the Chu royal palace were brought to a side courtyard of the Chu royal palace by the Qin soldiers.
After these celebrities of Chu settled down, Li Che had someone prepare the laws of Qin for them.
Li Che gave them three days. After three days, Li Che would check their interpretation of the Qin laws. If they couldn't interpret the Qin laws, they would be exterminated.
Li Che had already made up his mind.
Kill the chicken to warn the monkeys!
The aristocrats of the six states were all watching. If the Qin laws were blocked in Chu, then it would be even more difficult to implement them in Qi. This was because there were more aristocrats in Qi, and the situation was even more complicated.
Zhang Han led 10,000 Qin soldiers to capture the clansmen of these celebrities. In a day, they captured 3,000 people, and Shouchun Prison was overcrowded.
On the second day, Zhang Han captured another five thousand people. These people were the nine clans of these celebrities.
30% of the Chu Country's aristocrats in Shouchun had been captured, and all kinds of luxurious mansions had been taken over by the Qin army. Everyone's fate was in the hands of the aristocrats who entered the palace.
Do you want to learn the laws of Qin?
If you learn, you'll be spared from death.
If he didn't learn, his entire clan would be exterminated!
……
The entire Shouchun fell into fear.
The people of Chu hated Li Si. They thought that Li Si was a vicious person who slandered and destroyed the six dynasties. Without Li Si, how could the six dynasties be defeated?
But today, they realized that Li Si's brother was as ruthless as his elder brother.
Now, the choice of one of the two topics was placed in front of the celebrities of Chu.
……
In the Chu royal palace, Li Che was drinking with Lu Zhi and Lu Chi by his side. The two beauties were not only good at poetry and songs, but also good at dancing. Their graceful figures were unforgettable.
Today was already the second day. After tomorrow, it would be the three-day deadline.
Li Che had imprisoned a total of 12,265 people from the Chu Country. If these people couldn't decipher the laws of Qin after tomorrow, Li Che would keep his promise and kill all 12,265 people!
If they couldn't write the same text, how could Qin's laws be promulgated?
How could the people of the world obey the law?
These celebrities were from famous families and were from the Chu aristocratic families. Li Che's arrest this time had almost wiped out all the Chu aristocratic families in Shouchun. He didn't even need to kill them. Li Che was already at loggerheads with the Chu aristocratic families.
Now, it was time to see who was more ruthless and whose methods were more brilliant!
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed. Li Che sat back in the main hall of Chu and ordered,""Let the celebrities of Chu who came to the main hall a few days ago return to the main hall. I want to see what kind of choice they have made! Do you have the courage to die?"
Clang!
The Taia Sword was unsheathed.
Li Che leaned on the Taia Sword, his killing intent soaring!
