Thunderous Methods to Suppress the Rioters?
Six hours ago.
Xianyang Palace.
In the meeting hall.
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, who was dressed in a black dragon robe, was sitting on a high seat with a cold face, looking down at the ministers below him.
Below the steps, from left to right.
Standing there were Marquis Tongwu Wang Ben, Daliangzao Tu Sui, General Zhang Han, High Minister Meng Yi, Longxi Marquis Li Xin, Imperial Censor Feng Jie, Tingwei Li Si, Prime Minister Wang Wan, and General Ren Xiao.
It could be said that other than Marquis Wucheng, Wang Jian, who had already retired.
As well as Commandant Meng Tian, who was currently fighting against the Xiongnu in the north.
At this moment.
A core figure of the Great Qin Empire.
They were all gathered here!
With a dark face, Ying Zheng swept his gaze across the crowd below the stage.
In the end, it stopped on General Zhang Han!
"Zhang Han, you've just returned from Chen County, so you're the most familiar with the situation. Tell me, how did the disaster happen? Who incited the riot? Who are these reckless commoners who dare to stir up trouble and mess with the laws of my Qin country!!!”
In the end.
Ying Zheng's voice suddenly rose.
It was like a dragon's roar and a tiger's roar, making people shudder…
Natural disasters are merciless and may be forgiven.
However, the rioting mob was especially hateful!
According to the laws of Qin.
Anyone who participated in the riot.
The chariot was torn apart and the three clans were wiped out!
" Your Majesty," Zhang Han bowed and said," the riot in Chen County was caused by the drought. Among the twelve counties under Chen Jun's rule, Guling, Yangxia, Zhe County, Ku County, Xinyang, Ruyin, and Mian County suffered the most severe disasters, almost to the point of no harvest…"
"Due to the severe disaster, coupled with the heavy burden of taxes and corvee, the local people's lives are suffering. Skeletons of people who starved to death can be seen everywhere on the roadside.”
"What's more, there was even a tragedy of exchanging children for food…"
Everyone frowned when they heard this.
No one expected that…
The sudden drought was actually so severe.
The land could not grow food, and there were all kinds of exorbitant taxes.
The lives of the citizens of Chen County
It would probably be miserable…
"Hmph, a great calamity has descended from the heavens. Water and fire are merciless! The people of Chen County were unfortunate, but this was not a reason for them to riot!”
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and said sternly,""Zhang Han, I ask you, who is the one who incited the riots?”
"Your Majesty, it should be the Chu people…" Zhang Han nodded slightly and said in a deep voice.
Chu people?
Chu people again?
First, he threatened to destroy Qin and restore Chu in Chu.
Later, he incited the disaster victims of Chen County to start a riot.
Were these bastards 'necks really made of iron?
Were they really not afraid of death?
Ying Zheng was so angry that he burst out laughing." Good! These damned remnants of the Chu State! They have challenged my bottom line time and time again. Do they think I am too old to wield my sword and kill people?!"!!”
After saying that.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si with his fierce eyes and said sternly,""Li Si, I previously asked you to carry out the specific policy of 'pacifying the remnants of the Six Kingdoms'. Why isn't it working?"
Li Si stepped forward and bowed." Your Majesty, I have found a noble of the Chu State according to the instructions. He is Mi Unyielding, a descendant of the Mi family." Mi Unyielding also agreed to become the governor of Chu and work with the Great Qin army to restore the lives of the people.”
"However, the disaster in Chen County came too suddenly. Although it was instigated by the Chu people, it's very likely that it wasn't done by the Mi people.”
After saying that, Li Si paused for a moment and said,"
" The policy of 'pacifying the remnants of the six states' is a plan that His Majesty has personally decided upon. It can also eliminate the chaos from the root, but it has a certain time limit and cannot be accomplished overnight. His Majesty needs to wait patiently…"
"Hmph, I have no more patience to wait!”
" Wang Wan, Li Si, Feng Jie," Ying Zheng waved his hand and shouted," I order you to quickly gather the grain and fodder for disaster relief and send them to the areas where there are no riots, so as to calm the people.”
"We accept your orders!"
" Zhang Han, Wang Ben, Tu Sui," Ying Zheng continued," I order the three of you to lead a hundred thousand men to suppress the rebellion in Chen County as soon as possible. Kill all the peasants and their families who participated in the riot, regardless of age!”
All executed?
Zhang Han and Wang Ben were shocked.
There were tens of thousands of people who participated in the riot.
Even their families, if they were all killed…
Corpses would probably be strewn all over the place, and white bones would be everywhere…
It was the opposite of Zhang Han and Wang Ben's hesitation.
Daliang made Tu Sui after receiving the order of the First Emperor.
The corners of his mouth curled up, and his eyes shone with a golden light.
He seemed a little excited.
He was a cruel and bloodthirsty person!
When the chaos of Baiyue was pacified.
Tu Sui often harmed the innocent local residents.
Killing for fun!
And now, he was able to carry out the order to kill.
This undoubtedly activated the killing genes in Tu Sui's bones.
It made him extremely excited!
Some people were born to be bloody butchers.
And he, Tu Sui, was one of them…
"Hehe, don't worry, Your Majesty. I will kill all the peasants in Chen County and make them regret ever being born!!!”
Tu Sui stuck out his scarlet tongue, his face extremely ferocious.
Just as the meeting was about to end.
Just as Ying Zheng was about to ask the crowd to leave…
An untimely voice sounded.
It suddenly came from outside the house.
"Imperial Father, we must not blindly suppress them brutally. This is against the heavens!”
As soon as he finished speaking.
A handsome young man in luxurious clothes rushed in.
If it wasn't Young Master Fusu, who else could it be?
