This strategy, this method, this character, even the old guys like them are ashamed of themselves!
But at this moment, when Zhao Gao and the others saw the ten characters on the kite, their hearts were completely ashamed.
Zhao Gao never dreamed that things would turn out like this.
He thought that this wonderful strategy of his would definitely be able to get rid of Li Yang, but unexpectedly, in the end he fell into someone else's trick.
At this moment, Zhao Gao really couldn't figure it out. He couldn't figure out what was wrong with his wonderful and secret strategy.
Could it be that Li Yang discovered it when he buried the Heavenly Book?However, the person who did this matter was his confidant, so it was impossible for him to make such a mistake.
Could it be...he, Li Yang, is really good at calculating?
Zhao Gao was completely dumbfounded.
However, he is not in the mood to think about these things now, because what he is most worried about now is that this matter must not involve himself, otherwise he will be the one who died today.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gao was extremely panicked.
Turning his head to look at Tai Shiling, he found that this guy was so frightened that he sat on the ground with his ass slumped on the ground, his face was ashen...
He glanced at his son-in-law Yan Le again. He was not much different from Taishi Ling Wang Ling. He looked terrified and frightened, his face turned pale as paper, and his whole body was trembling. to the ground.
Seeing that the two were so frightened, Zhao Gao became even more worried. If these two cowards couldn't stand it and confessed everything at once, it would really be over.
Of course, it's not just the three of them who are also afraid, but also the more than 20 ministers and ministers from Hu Hai's family.
"Tai Shiling, can you see the words on the wings of this divine bird clearly? If you haven't seen them clearly, I can show you the truth in front of you."
At this time, Li Yang had already landed the whole kite on the ground, pointed at the kite, and smiled at Wang Ling.
Wang Ling was so frightened that he couldn't help but tremble when he heard Li Yang's question about him. He quickly lay down in front of the emperor and said in panic, "Your Majesty, I made a mistake. I'm guilty. I don't know that the prime minister let me go." Kite!"
Ying Zheng flicked his sleeves, turned around and entered the hall, and at the same time shouted angrily: "Bring this traitor in!"
Wang Ling was paralyzed again...
Everyone knows that this time the emperor is really going to beheaded someone for punishment, but the person who is going to be beheaded is no longer Li Yang, but Taishi Ling Wang Ling.
This shocking reversal was probably not even thought of by Wang Ling himself. Originally, he wanted to kill Li Yang, but in the end it was himself who was going to die.
The civil and military officials consciously followed the emperor back to the palace, and the ranks stood up. Everyone did not dare to breathe. The whole hall was full of chills, and some people were even more frightened, trembling in the queue.
Wang Ling, who was paralyzed at the entrance of the hall, was led directly by two armored guards, and knelt down in front of the hall.
Ying Zheng stared at the paralyzed Taishi Ling Wang Ling, and angrily scolded: "Wang Ling, you are not only talking nonsense, but also cursing me. You can't vent my anger if you punish the nine clans for this crime!"
Wang Ling trembled all over. These words frightened him out of his wits, his face paled, and he burst into tears with a wow!
The so-called Zhu Jiu Clan refers to relatives and relatives within the Zhu Jiu Clan.
In ancient China, family raids and clan exterminations were often used in conjunction with the purpose of eradicating the roots and completely removing the strength and connections of revenge.Shaokang Zhongxing's "[-] percent of the land and one brigade of the people" is the inexhaustible consequence, and Wu Zixu and Wu Fachu are the result of incomplete genocide.Therefore, Qin Shihuang began to adopt the cruel law of family punishment, first the three tribes of Yi, and later became more and more cruel, from the three tribes, five tribes to nine tribes-three tribes of father, three tribes of mother, and three tribes of grandma.
What is the concept of three clans of father, three clans of mother, and three clans of grandma?
The father's three generations, that is, the grandfather's grandfather's generation, all the blood relatives and spouses who came down from the branches and leaves were killed, which almost killed the entire family, except for the surname.
The same is true for the mother's side, and the same is true for the father-in-law's side. In this way, the number of people punished by the nine clans is basically close to a thousand.
It's no wonder that Wang Ling was so frightened that he cried bitterly when he heard this. This is simply a terrifying nightmare, and this kind of nightmare is unacceptable to anyone with a little bit of conscience.
Chapter 81 Inquiry
Seeing Wang Ling looking like a dead fish, Li Yang said regretfully, "Taishiling, Your Majesty trusts you so much, but you...you deceive the King and curse His Majesty, what good does it do you? You are really confused!"
Hearing this, Wang Ling beat his chest and stamped his feet with remorse, and hurriedly pleaded with the emperor, "Your Majesty, I'm confused, I'm going to die, I hope you will let my people go, Your Majesty... woo..."
The emperor's face was ashen, and he didn't allow him to say anything. He shouted violently: "Tingwei listens to the order, put this person in the court prison, and immediately arrest his nine clans and ransack his home!"
"No!" Ting Wei Meng Yi immediately gave the order.
Wang Ling cried out sadly, "Your Majesty..."
At this time, all civil and military officials mourned him for three seconds.This guy really fell into Li Yang's hands today.
At the same time, at this moment, Zhao Gao and Yan Le breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the emperor does not interrogate this person, it is safe for Zhao Gao.
however……
"Hold on, Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Li Yang suddenly stood up and blocked the imperial army who was about to come to take Wang Ling away.
The emperor frowned. Although his face was full of confusion, he still stretched out his hand to signal the two imperial guards to retreat temporarily.
"Li Yang, what's the matter with you?" Ying Zheng looked displeased, but he was very happy in his heart.
"Your Majesty, I think that Tai Shiling is not so heinous, maybe he was instigated by others."
Speaking of this, Li Yang turned his head with a look of regret, and said: "Taishi Ling, you deceived the king and cursed your majesty. I really can't think of the benefits of such behavior to you. If you just suffer from others Instigation, because of this confusion, you might as well quickly confess to the person who instigated you, His Majesty will definitely punish you lightly. You must be punished with death, but your people may be able to seek some safety."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Gao trembled all over, his head buzzed, and his heart rose to his throat in an instant.
But Wang Ling was taken aback, subconsciously said: "Really...really, can I really spare my people?"
Li Yang didn't answer him directly, but turned his head and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to think that he was instigated by others and not the mastermind, so you can give him a lighter punishment for his family."
Ying Zheng said with a sullen face: "If there is another mastermind, I can consider it!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Ling burst into tears of gratitude when he heard this.
As for Zhao Gao, who was standing beside the emperor, his heart was filled with fear and his face was ashen...
The other ministers and ministers in the Qilin Palace booed each other, they didn't dare to breathe, they knew in their hearts that Zhao Gao's party was going to fall this time.
"Tai Shiling, now you can talk. Who instigated you to fabricate the theory of ghosts and gods these two days?" Li Yang immediately questioned Wang Ling.
Wang Ling raised his head and glanced at Zhao Gao beside the emperor, then pointed at him and shouted, "He, he made me do this!"
As soon as Zhao Gao heard this, a cold air rushed from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head, and his whole body was cold...
thump!
Zhao Gao slumped down on the ground, and laughed like a fool...
People, once they are extremely sad, they will burst into laughter instead.
