General Qin

Meng Yi.

Although this person is currently serving as a civil servant in Tingwei's Mansion, he is tall and burly, with a beard under his jaw, and his appearance is somewhat similar to Meng Tian.

"It is worthy of the blood of Shandong Han."

Zhao Tuo looked at Meng Yi's figure and whispered in his heart.

This Meng clan was not originally from Guanzhong Qin, but from Qi State.

Meng Ao entered Qin from Qi and served as the king of Qin for four generations. He led his army eastward several times, beating the San Jin violently, and captured nearly a hundred cities successively. Now the Sanchuan County and Dong County of Qin State can be established, and Meng Ao's contribution is indisputable.

Meng Ao's son, Meng Wu, was also a famous general of Qin. His grandson Mengtian is now serving as a general of Zhonglang, and Meng Yi is playing for the Tingwei Mansion.

The Meng family can be said to be loyal and good for three generations, and they are the most trusted courtiers of Qin Wangzheng.

Faced with Zhao Tuo's order, Meng Yi respectfully accepted the order and left Tingwei Mansion with Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo knew that the Meng brothers would be favored by the King of Qin in the future, and Meng Tian would become a general to attack the Huns in the north and lead the Qin army to guard the frontier. Meng Yi often served by Qin Wangzheng's side and won his trust.

So Zhao Tuo intended to befriend Meng Yi, but he didn't expect to run into a soft nail in Meng Yi's place.

Faced with Zhao Tuo's kind conversation, Meng Yi just smiled and didn't answer, showing no intention of friendship.

Zhao Tuo was bored, so he didn't say any more.

In the state of Qin, not everyone is like Yang Xiong who can get close to Zhao Tuo as soon as they meet.

When the two entered the Qin Palace and came to the side hall where Qin Wangzheng was located.

Zhao Tuo saw that besides Wei Liao and Yao Jia who were staying in the hall, there was one more person.

CRRC Government Order.

Zhao Gao.

However, at this moment, Zhao Gao no longer had the calm and smiling appearance of the past, but was kneeling in the hall with his forehead touching the ground. If he observed carefully, he could even see Zhao Gao's body trembling slightly.

Zhao Gao?

Zhao Tuo was stunned.

Why is Zhao Gao here?

Wasn't Qin Wangzheng asking him to summon Zoujue to try the official of the Bangwei Mansion who betrayed the information to the Chu State envoy?

Why the criminal was not there, but Zhao Gao was kneeling in the hall instead.

Immediately afterwards, an idea popped up in Zhao Tuo's mind, remembering a rumor he had heard in his previous life.

Could it be that something is going to happen?

Zhao Tuo was surprised in his heart, but he was not slow in his words, and replied to Qin Wangzheng: "My lord, I have invited Tingwei's mansion to come here."

"Chen Mengyi, pay homage to the king."

Meng Yi also stepped forward to salute, doing things in a strict manner.

Qin Wangzheng nodded slightly, telling Zhao Tuo to back down.

"It turns out that Mengqing is on duty today. It's okay, Mengqing has always enforced the law fairly, and today happens to be the widow's first trial for this case."

Zhao Tuo stood at the door and asked Yang Xiong, who was guarding the door for him, to move aside, pricked up his ears, and eavesdropped on the conversation in the room.

Under Qin Wangzheng's instruction, Yao Jia began to tell Meng Yi about the matter.

The matter this time is not complicated. It is Cao Cao named Fan Yi in the Bangwei Mansion who privately leaked the military situation of Qin State to the envoy of Chu State. Its nature is like treason, and the crime deserves death.

This point is indisputable.

CRRC Mansion Commander Zhao Gao himself was not involved in this incident, and the leak has nothing to do with him.

Unfortunately, Zhao Gao was Fan Yi's recommender.

According to Qin law, you should sit in a row!

Zhao Tuo stood outside the house, his scalp tingling when he heard it.

If you want to become an official in Qin, besides relying on military exploits, there are two main paths.

One is Renzi, who enjoys special treatment by virtue of his father's meritorious deeds.

The sons of low-level officials can enter the school, and the descendants of high-ranking and high-ranking officials can enter the Lang system, and what's more, they can directly become officials.

The second is recommendation. Serving officials are qualified to recommend others to take up official positions, and they can even let the recommended person take up a position higher than their own official position.

However, this way of recommendation contains great risks.

According to the laws of Qin State, if the recommended person commits a crime, the person who recommended him will be punished with the same crime!

Standing in the hall, Meng Yi quietly listened to Yao Jia's narration, and made up his mind.

At this time, Zhao Gao raised his red and swollen forehead, and looked at Meng Yi with a pleading face.

Although Zhao Gao didn't speak, Meng Yi knew that he was begging himself to let him live.

On the emperor's couch, Qin Wangzheng spoke.

"Meng Qing, what is Zhao Gao's crime?"

Zhao Gao bit his lip and fixed his eyes on Meng Yi. His life is now in the hands of this person.

Meng Yi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the words that came out of his mouth were firm and ruthless.

"Your Majesty ordered your ministers to be convicted, but your ministers dare not act against you. According to the law, anyone who appoints someone who is not good at his appointment will be punished for his own crime. The person Zhao Gao promoted today, who colluded with the envoys of the princes and leaked military information, should be punished for his crime. Zhao Gao should also sit down in accordance with the law, expel his eunuch status, and punish him according to the law."

Hearing Meng Yi's ruthless words, Zhao Gao collapsed on the ground, his face full of despair.

He himself is a master of law in the Qin State, and he has already memorized the laws fluently, so how could he not know what will happen to him.

Zhao Gao was born in the Yin Palace, from a humble background. He suffered a lot when he was young, and finally climbed to his current position. He has always cherished his current life.

He always kept his words and deeds carefully, and was afraid that if he made a mistake, he would turn back into a lowly person.

That Fan Yi once saved his life in the hidden palace, and he was reborn with kindness.

When Zhao Gao was just prosperous, he was full of energy and didn't have a strong sense of urgency. When he saw his former benefactor begging for help, he used his authority to recommend Fan Yi for a vacant position in the Bangwei Mansion, and he had the right to repay his favor.

Later, Zhao Gao gradually became proficient in the law, and secretly regretted that he did not do enough in this matter.

Repaying one's favor with gifts of gold, jade and jewels is all that is required, and recommending a person to serve, on the contrary, leaves a hidden danger for oneself.

It's just that the deal is done, and it's too late for Zhao Gao to regret it. As time passed, Fan Yi never had any problems, and Zhao Gao gradually forgot about it.

Unexpectedly, this hidden danger suddenly broke out today, and it sent himself into a desperate situation as soon as it came.

While Zhao Gao was too regretful, he was also full of resentment towards Meng Yi.

Law is nothing more than human feelings.

Qin Wangzheng did not send himself to Tingwei Mansion for a formal trial, but called you Meng Yi to the side hall. Don't you Meng Yi understand the meaning of this?

The good one does not dare to use Fa, and the good one should be punished by the law.

Zhao Gao's eyes were full of resentment, wishing he could swallow Meng Yi alive.

However, Meng Yi didn't look at him at all, and stood in the hall with his head held high, his whole body upright, which made Qin Wangzheng nod his head.

Officials who enforce the law so impartially are the pillars of the country.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"Also please, Your Majesty, for the sake of your diligence and loyalty, spare your life."

"Your Majesty, spare your life."

Zhao Gao lay on the ground, grabbed the ground with his head, and let out a desolate sound of begging for mercy.

Meng Yi made the verdict on behalf of the Tingwei Mansion. If there is no accident, he, Zhao Gao, and Fan Yi will be killed by Qin Fa.

In today's world, the only one who can save Zhao Gao is Qin Wangzheng.

Qin Wangzheng was aloof, listening to Zhao Gao's mourning voice, and seeing his most trusted confidant who was usually trembling all over, crying like a tearful man.

Qin Wangzheng scanned the palace.

Wei Liao closed his eyes and leaned against the pillar, as if everything in the palace had nothing to do with him.

Yao Jia remained expressionless, watching with cold eyes. He only hurts people, not saves them.

Qin Wangzheng looked outside the hall.

"Zhao Tuo."

He called out.

"only."

Excited, Zhao Tuo hurried into the hall, saluted respectfully, and said, "Please give me your orders, Your Majesty."

Qin Wangzheng stared at the young man, and said: "You must have known about this matter outside the palace, I ask you, in your opinion, should Zhao Gao deserve to die?"

Hearing this, Zhao Tuo was shocked.

King Qin actually gave Zhao Gao the right to decide his life to himself?

He looked at Zhao Gao who was lying on the ground.

Zhao Gao also raised his head and looked at Zhao Tuo.

His eyes were full of anticipation.

help me!

"Historical Records: Biography of Meng Tian": Gao committed a serious crime, and King Qin ordered Meng Yi to rule it by law. If you dare not be a Fa, you will die for a high crime and get rid of your eunuch status. The emperor was honest with others with high standards, pardoned him, and restored his official rank.

History books do not record what crime Zhao Gao committed, but a few points can be deduced based on this.

1. Zhao Gao's crime is more serious and is a capital crime.

2. This crime does not involve a matter of principle, and it does not matter to the king of Qin, otherwise he will not be pardoned, and his official title will be restored, and he will be more trusted.

According to the previous description of Zhao Gao's "knowledge in the prison law", this person is proficient in the law, and he will definitely not commit ordinary crimes, and even if he does, he will not be easily caught.

Combined with the story of Chu Xian Qingyang to create, Lianzao Zhao Gao should have no major problems in the logic of the story.

"Historical Records Biography of Fan Ju": Qin's law is to appoint people and those who are not good at the appointment will be punished for their own crimes.
