In just four hours, everyone was shocked by the First Emperor's iron-blooded methods.
Over the years, other than the burning of books and burying of scholars two years ago, it had been a long time since the First Emperor had been so angry.
Today, he was enraged and intimidated the four seas.
Finally, when everyone was breaking out in cold sweat, the First Emperor spoke.
He allowed a few officials who could not take it to leave first.
But Huhai was not included.
Even if they fainted from fear, they would only end up with a basin of cold water.
He had to wait for everyone to leave, clean up the market, and see Li Si's pile of minced meat thrown into the wilderness before he could be escorted back to the palace.
In the end, Huhai was already delirious when he returned to the palace. He was thrown into the hall by the guards. His eyes were lifeless as he looked at the air not far away. He was in a daze, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Bring him down first and let the imperial physician take a look. After he wakes up, drag him up!”
The First Emperor was indifferent to his son who had betrayed him.
In the end, the moment Huhai regained his consciousness, the most desperate moment of his life arrived.
"After he receives the 20 punishments, he will be demoted to a commoner and sent to the border. He will not be allowed to return to the capital for the rest of his life!”
Looking at the expressionless Qin Shi Huang, Huhai's face gradually turned pale under the afterglow.
"Father, I'm your son. I'm the child you've doted on for so many years. I don't want to die.”
"I beg you, Imperial Father, this is all Zhao Gao's scheme, Imperial Father!”
"Please spare me, Imperial Father!"
“……”
He cried as he crawled towards the First Emperor.
Seeing this, the guards on both sides quickly stepped forward and held him down.
Like a frightened bird, Huhai twisted his body and tried to escape from their grip, but he was unable to resist in the end.
"Men, begin the execution!"
Huhai, who had been struggling, looked at the First Emperor in disbelief.
When he saw the pair of pitch-black pupils opposite him, the light that originally carried some hope was instantly extinguished.
Before the punishment was over, Qin Shi Huang turned around and left.""But after that, there's no need for treatment. You'll be directly exiled to the border!”
When he finished speaking, Huhai's fate came to an end.
As the First Emperor walked towards the main hall, the ministers on both sides began to tremble.
Even Meng Yi and Feng Quji were no exception.
As long as they closed their eyes, they would be able to recall the blood rain that filled the sky before Li Si's death.
It was said that Zhao Gao died even more miserably. He was directly executed by the First Emperor.
In the end, the corpse was cut off by Shi Huang's men.
In addition to Huhai, who had been beaten half to death just now, it was impossible for everyone to maintain a calm state of mind.
And this wasn't the final result of Shi Huang dealing with them.
"Feng Quji, is there anyone else in Li Si's family?”
"Your Majesty, when General Meng goes to arrest Zhao Gao's family, lock Li Si's family up in the death row and wait for Your Majesty's decision at any time!”
"Yes."
For the first time, Qin Shi Huang revealed a satisfied smile.""Since that's the case, we'll wait until tomorrow at noon to execute them together!”
"Yes!"
……
For an entire day, everyone in Xianyang City, from the officials to the peddlers, seemed to have experienced a great catastrophe.
This was especially true for those who had personally witnessed the iron-blooded methods of the First Emperor.
After Huhai was dragged out of the palace, everyone looked at the two distinct bloody marks on the ground and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
This time, the First Emperor was truly angered. Anyone who wasn't a fool should know that provoking the Emperor at this time was definitely because he despised himself for living too long.
"Imperial Father, what Emperor Shi can eat? Chu 'er is hungry!"
Ying Chuchang stuck half of his head out of the hall.
Seeing this scene, everyone was worried for Ying Chu.
Why did the little prince come out at this time?
He even dared to mention secular matters when His Majesty was in a bad mood?
Wasn't he afraid that His Majesty would kill him in a fit of anger?
In an instant, everyone held their breaths and focused their attention. They looked at Ying Chu with pity in their eyes.
They had already thought of the little prince's corpse that His Majesty had ordered to be executed.
However, in the next second, Qin Shi Huang's words caught everyone off guard.
"Oh? Is Chu 'er hungry?"
"Since that's the case, we'll discuss the rest tomorrow!”
After he finished speaking, he got down from the dragon throne and walked in front of Ying Chu.
"Let's go. Imperial Father is fine now. Let's go eat!”
"Good!"
Ying Chu nodded and extended his arm towards Shi Huang.
There was still some distance between here and the emperor's bedroom, so he didn't want to walk.
Although the First Emperor still had no expression on his face, all the officials in the court were dumbfounded.
If it weren't for the fact that his face and cold temperament were exactly the same, everyone would have suspected that this person in front of them was His Majesty.
How could he be so indifferent as to carry a child to dinner while he was killing people in all directions?
Let's not talk about the question of whether he could eat it.
However, the fact that he was carrying a child alone was already very shocking.
Of course, this was not the first time he had carried a child.
But besides the little prince, who else had this honor?
Speaking of which, how did this little prince catch His Majesty's eye?
Not to mention that His Majesty had specially brought him along and shared a room with him before he went on a tour.
He was even more favored after returning.
The puzzled crowd finally turned their gazes to Meng Yi and the others who were on the tour with the Emperor.
"General Meng, did anything unusual happen to the little prince during this trip?”
As an official who had a good relationship with Meng Yi spoke, everyone pricked up their ears.
"I don't know, but I hope that all my colleagues will remember that the little prince cannot be offended!”
After saying this, Meng Yi did not dare to react to the crowd and directly turned around to leave the palace.
He knew that even if he didn't say anything today, everyone would still find out about the little prince from others.
Although he didn't know what role the little prince had played in the betrayal of Zhao Gao, Huhai, and the others, since the Emperor was willing to dote on him, he would naturally only obey the Emperor's will.
He thought so, but it didn't mean that everyone else thought so.
Especially those civil officials who were good at using their brains and the ministers who were close to Zhao Gao and the others.
They were already on tenterhooks because of the betrayal of Zhao Gao and the others. They were deeply afraid that they would be discovered by His Majesty and implicated.
But now, since the little prince was able to make the Emperor change his attitude in an instant, he would presumably be able to put in a good word for her on many matters.
Once they fawned over the little prince, the Emperor would not be so harsh on them, right?
With such thoughts in mind, many people had already ordered people to investigate Ying Chu's actions on the way out of the palace.
However, what they didn't know was that regarding the dispute between Ying Chu and Zhao Gao, the First Emperor had already issued a command to the entire patrol team. Anyone who leaked this information would be severely punished!
Therefore, other than finding out Ying Chu's daily activities, they couldn't find anything related to politics or Zhao Gao and the others.
