The first year of Emperor First Emperor.

There is no king in the world, no king in the world, there is no king in the world, there is only one emperor. The last king Tian Jian was sitting in the carriage and heading towards Xianyang with his ministers. Sitting in the carriage, King Jian of Qi looked at the disdainful gazes that looked at him, and his heart felt a little painful. He did not expect that he would fall to this point, and the dignified king of a country was so despised and humiliated.

The Qin people were not too bad to him. They would give him food, and would not insult or beat him. However, when they were pointed at on the road, they would not pay attention to it. They asked the King of Qi to rush to Xianyang with great fanfare, which was originally intended to let the people from all over the country take a look, which would serve as a deterrent and inspire. The King of Qi was not the last king, and Zhao Wangjia was not executed after surrendering. He was moved to Bashu. If nothing unexpected happened, he would spend his entire life there.

Therefore, Tian Jian was not so scared in his heart. He did not think that Ying Zheng had to kill him. His personal relationship with Ying Zheng was still very good. At least, he thought so. The two of them had met and had happily chatted. What made him unbearable was not the punishment in the future, but the guilt and humiliation in his heart. King Jian of Qi did not close his eyes for several days. Whenever he closed his eyes, he could always see his mother's appearance, and his mother shook her head at him.

King Jian of Qi also became bad, and in just a few days, he became haggard and lost a lot of weight. In such a torture as the country was destroyed, King Jian of Qi became a little confused. His ministers followed him on foot. Ying Zheng originally wanted someone to tie them up and tie them up like cattle and sheep, and sent them to Xianyang, but he was also worried that such behavior would cause unsatisfaction among the people of Qi for no reason.

Therefore, he did not humiliate too much to the monarch and ministers of Qi. Qi was the richest, and had no war for a long time. It can be said that he was rich because Qin did not experience bloody battles in the conquest of Qi and forced the King of Qi to surrender without fighting. Therefore, the complete and wealthy Qi fell into the hands of Qin. It can be imagined that in the future, Qi would become the granary and treasury of Qin. Perhaps the implementation of Zhao Kuo's policies would all depend on Qi's wealth.

Ying Zheng did not want Qi to cause chaos. A small-scale unrest may destroy this granary. For this large granary, it may not be necessary to stop humiliating Qi's monarch and ministers.

But even if they were not tied up and had no experience of beating and scolding, they might not feel much better.

When the group was about to leave Qi, several ministers stopped and were urging the soldiers to dare not leave Qi's land. They claimed to die in the soil of their parents and then committed suicide... But probably not everyone had such courage. Their death had no meaning to the other ministers, and they had no feelings. King Jian of Qi looked at the ministers around him and asked with some concern: "Her prime minister did not follow him, was he killed?"

"Kill?", a minister laughed, regardless of the bad gazes of the Qin soldiers, and said, "Do you still understand? Hou Sheng is greedy, accumulating money, embezzling and accepting bribes. He arranged for his confidant to come here. Who did not bribe him by bribing him? Why didn't the Qi army rescue him? Why did he wait foolishly for the Qin army to attack the capital? Hou Sheng, he is now counting the gifts sent by the Qin people in the capital!"

"How can you say that?" King Jian of Qi was a little angry, and he said, "The Hou Xiang is my mother's clan brother, and he will never betray me!"

The minister looked at him with complex eyes. He shook his head and said, "You have heard it when we walked out of the capital. The children of the capital sang: Those who destroyed and built will win. Over the years, how many people have wanted to get rid of Housheng, but you ignored it. Many people, with the determination to die, pretend to flatter Housheng, and then came to the palace to tell you the truth, but you killed them... In order to see you, scholars killed them for treason."

"A few of your relatives came to persuade you, and you cut off their throne and drove them out of Qi."

"You're talking nonsense! I've never killed anyone!!"

"You didn't kill people? You ignored the words of those who risked their lives to enter the palace and asked them to leave the palace. The next day, they were killed by Hou Sheng because of what they had said. Those scholars who broke into the palace to see you were ignored and were thrown into prison by Hou Sheng. The entire clan was killed. Your relatives, because you did not trust them, were framed and slandered, were immediately driven out of Qi by Hou Sheng... Isn't this what you killed?"

"Do you know how many Qi people have fought with Housheng over the years, and how many have died for such stupid you?"

The King of Qi looked pale, but he shook his head stubbornly, his voice trembling. He said, "No, no, Housheng is not that kind of person, I am not that kind of king... No."

"No noise!" The soldiers of Qin shouted sternly.

The soldiers' scolding ended the Qi State's court discussion. King Jian of Qi was trembling all over. He was at a loss, gasping heavily, and constantly shook his head.

At this time, Hou Sheng sat quietly in the courtyard, looking at Meng Tian standing in front of him.

Meng Tian put his hand on the hilt of the sword and raised his head high. His eyes were full of disdain when he looked at Hou Sheng. The courtyard was filled with all kinds of rare treasures, which were all sent by Meng Tian. Around these treasures, there were more Qin soldiers. These Qin soldiers, who were like tigers and wolves, all carried human heads in their hands. These heads were Hou Sheng's disciples and warriors. In front of the powerful Qin soldiers, these bodyguards carefully selected by Hou Sheng were useless.

Seeing that they dared to resist, the Qin soldiers were very happy. They didn't expect that they would have a chance to take the heads when they went out to do a mission. This was great! However, what disappointed the Qin soldiers was that Housheng had too few warriors, not enough for them to promote more titles. Housheng was covered with headless corpses, but Housheng had no fixed fear and fear. He looked at Meng Tian calmly and said, "I knew long ago... the Qin people would break their promises."

"The Qin people did not break their promises. These are the money you want, and the title you want. You are now the lord of Qin. But because of your mistakes in the past, Your Majesty is preparing to execute you, the lord. How can you say that the Qin people broke their promises?" Meng Tian grinned, staring at Hou Sheng's face, as if he wanted to see some fear and panic in his face. Unfortunately, he did not get what he wanted, Hou Sheng was still extra calm.

"Save my life, I'm willing to exchange half of my money for it. I have a lot of money. If I die, no one can find it."

Hou Sheng said, but Meng Tian shook his head disdainfully, and he said, "It's impossible. Your Majesty wants your life, nothing can keep your life."

"Can't trade? I can pay a lot of money, which is definitely worth my life. The King of Qin will only make money, not lose money."

"Do you want to trade everything? Even your life is OK?"

"What can't be traded? With money, everything is... Power, beauty, nothing is something that money can't buy... life."

"We old Qin people are not as good as you Qiren..." Meng Tian sneered and said, "You must die today. Do you know that Qiren hates you so much and pulls you out and beheads. Qiren will only cheer without heartache. Your money cannot buy so many Qiren's hearts..." Meng Tian stared at him and asked the soldiers to come forward to arrest him.

Hou Sheng got up by himself, he stood up, smiled bitterly, and said, "I have understood that there will be such a day, but I just can't help it. If I do it again... I will still do this."

The soldiers pressed him and walked out of the courtyard. Meng Tian followed him. He looked at the reaction of Qi people. Qi people had known for a long time that the Qin people were going to execute Housheng. Qi people did not have any pain or anger. They were very happy. Housheng this person, and he killed too many Qi people. Those upright and brave people were all killed by him. The destruction of Qi Kingdom was related to Housheng. Qi people's hatred for Housheng exceeded their hatred for Qin people.

Hou Sheng was escorted into the prison car, and Hou Sheng was still not afraid. He had enjoyed all his life. He was not young anymore. He didn't have that much fear of death. Despite this, he still looked at Meng Tian's direction with some dissatisfaction and asked many times: "Can I not be able to buy my own life if I pay? Can I give me some time and execute me a few days later?"

"I'm willing to pay ten thousand gold to buy a day."

"Twenty thousand golds are fine..."

"No?"

"Then let me have a last meal I love? I can pay..."

Housheng always raises money, which probably angered Meng Tian. For people like Meng Tian, ​​money is a kind of humiliation. They never openly say that they like money. Even if they give gifts to each other, they must not give money. They can only use treasures of the same price to convert. Housheng's behavior of spending money to bribe Meng Tian was a kind of humiliation in Meng Tian's view, and Meng Tian's face became increasingly ugly.

Meng Tian said nothing, he just urged the soldiers to move forward quickly.

......

The King of Qi's carriage came outside Hangu Pass. From a distance, you could see this majestic checkpoint, as rough and majestic as Qin itself, and awe-inspiring. King Jian of Qi raised his head and looked at the gate in front of him. For some reason, the King of Qi felt a little scared in his heart. He was forced to lower his head and dare not look at the checkpoint again. When he arrived here, several ministers stopped.

No matter how the soldiers urged them, they refused to move forward again.

They looked at the direction of King Qi, bowed seriously, and said, "We do not want to be humiliated by the Qin people. The reason why we came here with you was to protect you and protect you all the way. Now that you have arrived at Hangu Pass, please allow us to say goodbye to you..." King Qi was stunned. He looked at the ministers in front of him tremblingly, and he shouted, "Why do you guys do this!"

"You won't understand that when Qi State was destroyed, we were already dead. Now the one who follows you is your minister."

The ministers of Qi looked at the soldiers of Qin around them and shouted: "My homeland is in the east, please let us die in the east!!"

The feelings between people are probably not common. Several ministers of Qi died, but the other ministers did not feel any feelings. Looking at this tragic scene, they just felt a little noisy. The King of Qi was escorted all the way to Xianyang, but no one came out to greet him again. Local officials arranged him in a mansion in Xianyang. King of Qin, no, the emperor did not come to see him or summon him.

King Jian of Qi was not worthy of seeing him. The only one who came to deal with his problem was a minister, the Qi of Chu.

The emperor really wanted to kill King Jian of Qi in his heart. Ying Zheng did not want to break his promise. He said that if he gave him 500 miles of land, he would definitely give him 500 miles of land. He could find a wasteland in the clouds and give him 500 miles of space to move out. He would not be allowed to go out or give him food or drink, so he would let him enjoy the 500 miles of land. However, in the end, Ying Zheng did not give such an order. After all, the people of Qi did not care about the victory in the future, and it might not be that they would not care about King Qi.

There are still many talents in Qi State, and Qi is a treasure house.

Qi informed the King of Qi to deal with it. All the titles were abolished, and he was sent to Beidi County, where he would live for the rest of his life. In the end, King of Qi was unable to meet Ying Zheng. He came hurriedly like an unknown man and was quickly sent away. Some of the ministers who followed him were executed, some were released... Anyway, they could never return to Qi in their lifetime.

Hou Sheng knelt on the execution ground, and there were many Qi people gathered around him. Qi people watched this scene happily and couldn't help but cheer. Meng Tian stood in front of him, waiting for the soldiers to execute him. Hou Sheng couldn't help but look at Meng Tian. He asked again: "Can I really not be able to buy my life?"

"How can a person like you understand that what a gentleman pursues is honor, not money... If you humiliate me like this, I will make you die in great pain." Meng Tian narrowed his eyes and said viciously.

"Honor? How much does honor cost?...Honor is not worth anything at all." Hou Sheng was thinking about something, and he whispered.

The executioner stood behind Hou Sheng and was about to behead him.

Hou Sheng hurriedly looked at Meng Tian, ​​and he said, "If I can't buy my life, then you can buy my life, give me some money, and then kill me."

Meng Tian widened his eyes and looked at Hou Sheng in front of him. This guy was probably scared crazy?

Meng Tian took out a Qin coin from his arms and threw it in front of Hou Sheng.

Hou Sheng laughed and said, "Thank you..."

......

A child was playing in the yard. He focused on building his own city on the soil and replacing the soldiers with stones. He was playing. His father led a middle-aged man into the house quickly. The two of them sat down. They looked a little uneasy and a little frightened.

"Shangjun told me that thing again today. The people in China loved him more than the King of Love. The soldiers in China only thought about his actions of restoring the country. They only knew to obey his orders. Even the ministers in the temple could only bow their heads to pay their respects to him..." The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Shangjun was supported by him, but he is also an office after all... He also has the power to succeed the throne..."

"Brother, you are right. I just told you these words?" the boy's father asked in a low voice.

"Yes, after all, it's a family, so I can only tell me... Shangjun is ready. When the envoy from Zhao State arrives... he will tell this in the temple. At that time, you must support Shangjun."

"I know, please don't worry, brother, but what I'm worried about is...if he is forced to rebel... we can't stop him..."

"Not hindrance, you can leave this to me..."

The two of them conspired for a long time, and finally, the middle-aged man left. The boy looked at his father with some curiosity. He asked, "Father? Do you want to sell Anpingjun?"

"Don't talk nonsense! You can't tell anyone these words! Do you know!"

"I just heard... You and your uncle said that you would sell Anpingjun to Zhao people. Anpingjun is my hero. He saved our country, has great military achievements and countless honors. How can you sell him?"

The boy's father sneered, and he said disdainfully: "What can't be sold? Everything can be traded, honor? Oh, honor is not worth it!"

The boy was stunned, and the stone in his hand fell to the ground.

He was stunned and murmured, "Everything is... Can be traded..."
