Chapter 812: A thorough investigation(1/2)
Soon, the group walked to the village in front.
In the village, the emperor's messenger was waiting for them.
Recently, the envoy has visited many villages and obtained a lot of evidence. He has gained a full understanding of the matter of exiled immortals advocating the exile.
They have written thick memorials.
But the villagers didn't seem to be very brave, and they refused to follow the envoy to Beijing.
The envoy persuaded him with great sincerity, and these villagers just shrank.
If it weren't for the time of coming, His Majesty specially instructed not to use force or to intimidate these villagers. The envoy would have tied up these villagers long ago.
Now these messengers are discussing to see what happened to these villagers.
An envoy said, "It's really evil. Why are these people unwilling to go to Xianyang City? Are these people born timid and unable to go to the places where wealthy people are?"
Another messenger said, "I really don't understand what these people have to be afraid of. Are you worried that we will cheat them?"
An envoy next to him said, "What else can we cheat? Don't we already understand what we said? We should take care of food, accommodation and spend money."
An older messenger sighed and said, "It seems that the court is too majestic, and His Majesty is too majestic. These people are very scared in their hearts. They naturally keep a distance from Xianyang City and fear it.
ah."
Someone said, "When we were leaving, His Majesty once ordered not to intimidate these villagers or force them. This left us helpless. However, we do not intimidate or force them now. How about we bribe them with money?
"
Several messengers around him nodded.
The older messenger said, "No, no. No. No. No. Now the court has quarreled because of this matter. The court officials attacked each other, and I don't know how lively it is."
"We must not get involved. Once we go in, we will definitely be beaten to death. If the villagers come to the court and say they have received money, then we will not be able to argue.
"
The messengers around were shocked, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Yes, yes, yes. It makes sense. Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise we will all die."
So, the discussion returned to the beginning: how should we get these people back?
Threat, intimidation, temptation... these are not possible. These villagers can only go voluntarily, otherwise, it will not be enough to ensure fairness.
Do you want everyone to kneel down and beg them?
Isn’t the majesty of the court even less gone?
For a moment, the messengers were a little sad and even worried whether they could not go back to Xianyang City.
In fact, they don’t know that the people are not as stupid as they imagined.
These people also read books and newspapers and listen to various rumors.
They also knew that the court was arguing, and that their identities were too low. After participating, they would die without a place to bury themselves if they were not careful.
Therefore, these people dare not go even if they are killed.
Just when the messenger was at a loss, a team of ragged people suddenly came to the darkness.
When the messenger saw these people trembling in the night, he looked at them with some wonder: "What's wrong with you?"
The people said carefully: "We...we...we...we want to go to Xianyang City."
The envoy was stunned: "Go to Xianyang City? Who are you? Why do you want to go to Xianyang City?"
The villagers said, "We... were brought here by other envoys because of clan problems. Let us come to you and take us to Xianyang City."
The group of messengers were immediately overjoyed.
They naturally knew that this time His Majesty sent out many envoys, and they were just one of them.
Could it be that other messengers are lucky? They convinced many villagers to go to Xianyang City, and even kindly gave them some?
These messengers said with emotion: "Good man."
The older messenger said, "These people are not only good people, but also very kind-hearted people. You see, they gave us people, but they were worried that we were embarrassed, so they let them come over on their own and never show up.
"
"Good man, kind and considerate. It's really admirable."
The other messengers nodded with emotion.
The messengers waved their hands and said to the village chief Laoniu and others: "You all follow us."
These people nodded and agreed, and no one dared to say anything along the way.
The messengers discussed: "Since they are so kind, we must not let their good intentions down. We must rush to Xianyang City as soon as possible."
"There is a saying that Ye Chang Mengduo. What if these people change their minds halfway through the journey? Not only can they not find someone to bring them back to Xianyang City, but they also let them down."
So, these messengers rushed and ran away quickly with the people.
At the same time, other messengers were in a state of great anxiety: Why do these villagers refuse to leave? Say they are smart, they look stupid. Say they are stupid, they are smart, and they are smart.
..............
The court officials in Xianyang City finally ushered in the court meeting after being trapped in the imperial palace for half a month.
In fact, this court discussion was held at the strong suggestion of the court officials.
After all, all adults are already in a state of suffocation.
There are many rules in the palace, so how can you live in your own home?
In addition, this is a life-and-death struggle with the exiled immortal. The exiled immortal can sit firmly on Diaoyutai and pretend that nothing has happened, but these court officials do not have such psychological qualities.
Therefore, the court officials hope to hold a court meeting as soon as possible and result will be achieved as soon as possible.
After the announcement is made, there is no need to worry.
So, the court held a meeting.
One of the main reasons why Ying Zheng agreed to convene a court meeting was that a team of envoys had returned. The envoy brought back evidence, so he could know who was right and who was wrong.
When all the officials entered the Political Affairs Hall, they saw several messengers standing on the ground.
The courtiers could tell at a glance that these people had just arrived.
Ying Zheng looked at the court officials and said lightly: "I have just met them. Who is right and who is wrong? I haven't asked yet. Let's witness it together."
The courtiers responded nervously.
Ying Zheng said to the envoy: "What have you seen and heard along the way?"
The messenger said breathlessly: "We have seen a lot of things. We have seen the people breaking the clans. Those clan forces have collapsed and collapsed."
"The village chiefs and patriarchs were very dissatisfied with this and attacked the court, but the people supported it very much. I saw that in many villages, the word "emperor" was established at home, burning incense and offering sacrifices every day."
Ying Zheng became happier the more he heard it. He smiled and asked, "Take it serious?"
The messenger said, "It was my ministers and others who saw it with their own eyes."
Li Shui also breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: It seems that he was the right bet this time.
Some court officials said to the envoy: "You... are not from Shangjun's villa, are you?"
These messengers said unhappily: "Sir, we are His Majesty's people, not any adult. Please do not frame us."
Then, the envoy took out a lot of investigation reports, and they handed them over to the courtiers.
After seeing it, the court officials were speechless.
There are names, addresses, and even photos in this report.
It is impossible to commit fraud. Even if you suspect that he commits fraud, you can easily find them according to the information of these people, and it is very convenient to check them.
Zhou Qingchen smiled slightly and said, "It can be seen that the strategy of exiled immortals has not only not shaken the foundation of my Great Qin, but the foundation of my Great Qin has become more stable."
Some court officials who were good friends with Li Shui nodded repeatedly and agreed.
Li Shui secretly looked at Ying Zheng's expression and found that Ying Zheng was also smiling. He couldn't help but feel relieved.
So he was energetic and said, "There are thousands of people in our Qin Dynasty, but how many rich people are there? It doesn't matter whether the rich people are interested in the court. If thousands of people are interested in the court, then
My foundation in Daqin is the most stable one.”
"What I did is to lay the most solid foundation for the Qin Dynasty. As long as the people support me, will those wealthy people dare not support me?"
Ying Zheng nodded slowly.
When Li Shui saw Ying Zheng nodding, he felt even more happy.
He said to Chunyu Yue: "Sister, what do you think is the most important thing about me, Daqin?"
Chunyu Yue said helplessly: "Of course it is the heart of the people."
Li Shui said: "The most important thing is your Majesty. The second is the hearts of the people."
Chunyu Yue: “…”
Is this guy so sick? Is this just to fool me?
Li Shui continued to talk: "Now, our Qin court has gained the hearts of the people. I will learn detailed experiences later, as long as we follow this idea."
To be continued...
