Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

In front of the Chu King's Palace in Shouchun City, numerous Qin troops surrounded the place.

Many people of Chu State gathered nearby, looking at Lord Changping who was kneeling on the ground with disheveled hair on the execution ground.

This is their king, the last King of Chu.

In front of Lord Changping, it was the former King of Chu who was preparing to execute him.

Ying Wei knew very well that in this era when the concept of unity has not yet taken root in the hearts of the people, the various countries are actually very separate.

For the people of Chu, Qin was indeed an invader and invaded their land.

Therefore, in order to offset the hatred of the Chu people towards the Qin people, Ying Wei asked the former King of Chu to carry the cud for execution, and at the same time put all the blame on Changping Jun.

"Brother, have you ever thought that your ending would be like this."

Ning Chu stood in front of Lord Changping and said with joy.

To Qin, Lord Changping was a traitor.

To Ning Chu, Lord Changping was also a traitor.

Compared to the enemy, no matter who is the most powerful Those who hate are always traitors.

Mr. Changping just knelt on the ground. He knew clearly that he had no way out, so he had a brave mind.

He raised his head. He had been tortured in prison for many days and was now emaciated. , he looked at Fu Chu, and said with a sigh:"As the king of Chu, you have become the lackey of the Qin army."

"How will you face the ancestors of Chu after you die?"

Zhe Chu was suddenly laughed out of anger. He laughed twice and said,"I am not the King of Chu. The King of Chu is your elder brother."

"It was you who took my throne, should I still be grateful to you? All the mistakes are yours, yet you are still here making excuses!"

Although Xiang Chu was actually a little grateful to Lord Changping in his heart, if it hadn't been for Lord Changping, he, the King of Chu, would have become the last King of Chu. It might be him who is kneeling on the ground now. It is precisely because of the appearance of Lord Changping that... Let Fu Chu survive instead.

Of course, Fu Chu could only keep these words deep in his heart and never say them out loud. He had to show his bravery and fearlessness and act like a qualified King of Chu.

However, in fact, this Except for King Yingzheng of Qin, the kings of all countries were actually the same.

Lord Changping also felt a little regretful at this time.

He knew that he was still too hasty. When he got the support of the Xiang family, he should not have overthrown the leader so quickly. Cuo.

If he had known that his ability to bear cud was so poor, he should have given in and temporarily allowed the Chu State to unite internally.

If the Chu State was internally united, he thought it was still possible to defeat the Qin army's invasion.

Although this probability is still very low, But after all, there is still a thought.

But there is no medicine for regret in this world. The most important thing he should do is to be his prime minister in the Qin State honestly, and become a position above the ten thousand people below those two people.

From the moment he chose to betray Qin, his end was already doomed.

Ying Wei was also in Shouchun City at this time. He just sat in the main seat and watched everything in front of him coldly.

From the beginning, Chu State had no There is no possibility of defeating Qin. This is not simply due to military strength, etc.

It is because there is a huge gap between the two in terms of systems.

Although Qin’s systems were also learned from other countries, other Reforms in various countries have not been successful, only Qin has succeeded.

This is the most fundamental reason why Qin is so powerful

"Prepare for execution."

Ying Wei listened to the curses between Lord Changping and Fuchu, and he felt bored.

He gave an order behind him, and immediately an executioner came forward and held Lord Changping's chin with a fierce smile. With one stroke of his knife, he cut off Lord Changping's tongue. The purpose of cutting out Lord Changping's tongue was to prevent him from talking nonsense and saying some unpleasant things before he died.

As for why the punishment cannot be punished by a doctor, this is something that Ying Wei seems to be even more nonsense.

What he agrees more with is the legalist idea that princes who break the law are guilty of the same crime as the common people. Of course, it is impossible to achieve true equality before the law.

But Ying Wei also hopes to do his best. Everyone is equal below.

Changping Jun let out a shrill scream. He had been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child, he had been an official in Qin State, and now he was the king of Chu. How could he bear such a punishment?

When his tongue was cut off, The severe pain made him almost faint. But the executioner was well prepared and used medicine to stop his bleeding and prevent him from choking to death due to the broken tongue and swallowed blood flowing into his lungs. The execution was carried out at the same time.

The official poured another basin of cold water on him, allowing Mr. Changping to remain conscious despite the extreme pain.

At this time, Mr. Changping was sweating profusely, letting out a cry of pain, and his expression was twisted.

Fuchu was also frightened when he saw this scene. His liver and gallbladder were split, and he thought that if his tongue was cut out in this position, the pain would make him almost pee.

Ying Wei looked at the trembling former King of Chu and said to him:"It's you who should give the orders." , the execution was carried out"

"Here, here……"

Fu Chu was so frightened that he trembled all over. He didn't even dare to raise his eyes to look at Ying Wei. He looked at Lord Changping in front of him. For the sake of his own life and to avoid being tortured like this, he gritted his teeth and took out a notice.

At this time, he didn't care about the dignity of the King of Chu. He walked tremblingly in front of many people of Chu State, where he loudly read out the charges of Lord Changping.

The entire crime book is filled with various crimes committed by Lord Changping, which can be said to be too numerous to describe.

For example, Lord Changping betrayed Qin as a traitor and brought this serious crime to Chu. For example, he conspired to rebel and overthrew the King of Chu. For example, during his reign as king, he caused the death of a large number of soldiers, etc., and how many innocent people were killed. wait.

Some of them are true and some of them are false.

It doesn’t matter whether these accusations are true or false. Anyway, Ying Wei wants to make the people of Chu believe that it was precisely because of the crimes committed by Lord Changping that the Qin army invaded Chu. It was Lord Changping that caused the fall of Chu. So far.

Even in modern times when the level of education is high enough, people will be influenced by various public opinions, let alone in this pre-Qin period.

The people at the bottom have little access to information, and the only information they can believe is the information that the upper class wants them to know.

Especially the former King of Chu who promulgated this information makes this information even more credible.

For a moment, the emotions of the people in Shouchun were aroused. They became excited and denounced Lord Changping's guilt.

At the same time, as Fu Chu announced that as long as he made meritorious service to the Qin State, he would be allocated land. When this decree came out, the people of the entire Chu State became excited.

Chu State had the most typical feudal system. Almost all the land was owned by the nobles, and the common people did not even have any land of their own.

When they heard that the Qin State was willing to allocate the fields of these noble (money-earning) gentlemen to them, the lower class people, they felt even more unbelievable.

As soon as this decree comes out, the entire Chu State's resistance to Qin will be suppressed to an extremely low level.

".This is the importance of public opinion propaganda and policy."

Ying Wei sighed.

Only when you are in his position can you understand that it is actually very simple to control people's thoughts. People's emotions can be ignited too easily.

Being able to not be coerced by external information and truly have self-thinking After all, there are only a very small number of people.

In this era, it is even more difficult

"Execution!"

Ying Wei handed over the execution work to Fu Chu, so that he could completely split the Chu Kingdom.

Following Fu Chu's order, five horses grabbed Changping Lord's limbs and head, and completely killed him while running. Dismembering the body!

This is the real death without leaving the body intact!

……

Not long after, the news that the King of Chu had been dismembered spread throughout the Chu Kingdom, and Mi Lian fainted on the spot after learning the news..
