Yunyang Xiaoyingzheng [Da Qin]

The person who caused the trouble was Yangquan Jun, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Huayang, and the person he provoked was Lu Buwei, a high-ranking prime minister in the court.

That day Mr. Yangquan was suppressed by Lu Buwei because of the Chu people in the court, and the piece of land he was interested in was also taken away by Lu Buwei's followers. He was in a bad mood, drank some wine, and wandered on the street in front of his house.

Mr. Yangquan is a foreign relative and an aristocrat of the Chu State. Naturally, he lives in the same place as the houses of the dignitaries in Xianyang City, including Lu Buwei's house.

As he was walking, Mr. Yangquan bumped into a person head-on.

He drank a little too much, and his mind was not clear enough. After watching the bumped man for a long time, he realized that the man was Lu Buwei.

Originally, this was just a trivial matter, and Lu Buwei was not hurt. He just waited for Mr. Yangquan to apologize to him and the matter passed.

Who would have thought that Lord Yangquan not only did not apologize, but pointed at Lu Buwei and yelled: "You are a commoner and a lowly businessman, how can you walk with me on the road and not kneel down and kowtow to apologize?"

The people behind Yangquan Jun and Lu Buwei were stunned, they never expected Yangquan Jun to say such a thing.

The status of merchants is indeed low. During Wei Yang’s reform, he repeatedly emphasized the need to attack the status of merchants and impose heavy taxes on them. But the problem is that now Lu Buwei has got rid of the humble status of merchants and has become a nobleman of Qin. The Marquis of Wenxin, with [-] households in Shiyi, is the Xiangbang of the Qin State, and the person with the highest status in the Qin State besides the Qin King Zheng and the Queen Mother.

How dare Mr. Yangquan insult him like this, calling him a lowly businessman?

The attendant behind Mr. Yangquan quickly stood up and apologized to Lu Buwei: "Mr. Lu, my master was drunk today and talked some nonsense. Please forgive me."

Mr. Yangquan was still drunk. Hearing what the servant said, he was furious. He kicked the servant, kicked him heavily to the ground, pointed at Lu Buwei's nose and cursed: "What Lu Xiang, you just talked to me at the beginning. It’s nothing more than a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy behind my buttocks, but now it’s getting airy, what kind of thing are you, dare to block my way?”

Lu Buwei took a deep breath, took off the fingers pointing at his nose little by little, and calmly asked the followers behind him: "The Qin law stipulates, what crime should be punished for insulting a country's prime minister?"

The doorman replied: "The state is the most important thing in the country, and those who insult the state should be killed and give up the city."

Lu Buwei put down his red fingers, smiled, and ordered the doormen behind him: "Send Yangquan Lord to Tingwei Mansion, and order them to judge and execute in time."

The doorman was stunned for a moment, and immediately responded: "Yes, Xiangbang."

The drunk Yangquan Lord was sent to Tingwei's Mansion by Lu Buwei's retainers. Yangquan's servants wanted to stop him but did not dare to stop him, so half of them were sent to follow Yangquan Lord to Tingwei's Mansion, and the other half rushed back to Yangquan's mansion. Report to Mrs. Yangquanjun.

Seeing that Lord Yangquan's servants had run away, Lu Buwei didn't stop them, but just stood there quietly with an inscrutable smile on his face.

Li Si stood behind Lu Buwei, frowned, and couldn't help asking: "Xiangbang sent Lord Yangquan to Tingwei Mansion, what about the Empress Dowager Huayang in the palace?"

Lu Buwei sneered: "Since the death of the former king, those people have become more and more ignorant of this marquis, and now they just take this opportunity to make an example of others. As for the Queen Mother Huayang, she is just a woman in the palace. What can be done?"

Li Si stood behind him silently, whether Lu Buwei's power was for the Empress Dowager Huayang to see, or for someone in the palace, only Lu Buwei knew in his heart.

Li Si was thinking like this, when he heard Lu Buwei ask him: "By the way, Li Lang, why hasn't Benhou seen you enter the palace to teach Zheng'er these few days?"

To actually call the king by his name, even if Wang Shang recognized Lu Buwei as Zhong's father, Xiang Lu would be too bold and would not take the king seriously.

Although he was thinking this way in his heart, Li Si's face was calm, and he explained euphemistically: "Lu Xiang is busy with government affairs now, and as a servant of the Xiangbang, I should be loyal to my duties." When Qin Wangzheng was in conflict, he naturally stood on Lu Buwei's side on the surface.

Lu Buwei stroked his beard, turned around and patted the young man Li Si on the shoulder, and said with a big smile, "You don't have to do this, you should continue to go to the palace to give lectures to the government from tomorrow on. I'm busy with government affairs, so I inevitably neglected his advice If you like it, you can tell him a thing or two if you stay by his side."

Li Si understood that Lu Buwei wanted to send himself to King Qin's side, so he lowered his head and said, "I understand."

"By the way," Lu Buwei suddenly remembered something again, "Recently, Benhou adopted a child who is talented and intelligent. Few children in the world can match him. If you have spare time, you might as well help Benhou to teach him and give advice. One or two."

Li Si was a little curious: "I just heard Xiangbang mention this child today. I don't know what kind of child it is, whose name it is, and who can attract Xiangbang's favor?"

Lu Buwei smiled and said: "He is only ten years old now, you probably haven't heard his name, but you must know his eldest father."

"who is it?"

"Gan Mao, the famous general of Qin State in the past, of course, he is already a sinner of Qin State."

On the other side, Mrs. Yangquan's wife heard from her servants that Mr. Yangquan was captured by Lu Buwei and taken to Tingwei's mansion. She immediately became furious and scolded: "Lu Buwei is just a small gem merchant, and King Zhuang Xiang valued him so he let him He has become Xiangbang, and he dared to arrest my husband."

The status of the wife of Lord Yangquan is not simple. Her mother is the daughter of King Qin Zhaoxiang, and her father is Xiong Wan, the current King of Chu.Xiong Wan was once a proton in Qin State, and King Qin Zhaoxiang married his daughter to him.This princess of the Qin Kingdom gave birth to two children, one is the current Mrs. Junzheng of Yangquan, and the other is Xiong Qi, who served as the capital of the Qin Dynasty, Sikong Cheng.

Her father, Xiong Wan, wanted to return home to fight for the throne when his eldest father, King Chu Qingxiang, was critically ill, but was rejected by King Qin Zhaoxiang. Later, this man did the same thing as a stranger, leaving his wife and children as the princess of Qin, He fled back to the state of Chu and inherited the throne.

Fortunately, the princess of Qin State who was abandoned is not in another country like Zhao Ji and Ah Zheng, but has been living in her mother country, so Mrs. They are sons and daughters, but they were accepted by the Qin clan because of their mothers. According to their seniority, these brothers and sisters are the uncle and aunt of Qin Wangzheng.

Mrs. Yangquan Junzheng knew that her husband had been arrested, and immediately ran into the Qin Palace to ask the Queen Mother Huayang for help. At the same time, she also sent someone to Tingwei's Mansion to ask for someone.

After all, Mr. Yangquan is a relative. Strictly speaking, if you make a mistake, it will be under the jurisdiction of the Zong Zhengfu. What's the matter with your Tingwei Mansion?

Lu Buwei resolutely refused to let him go, so it was naturally impossible for the Empress Dowager Huayang to watch her brother die.

So this case was brought to Ah Zheng's eyes.

Ah Zheng looked at the two dossiers handed in by Tingwei Mansion and Zongzheng Mansion with very different statements, and couldn't help smiling: "It's really interesting."

The author has something to say:

1. The criminal law is the author's nonsense. I didn't find this provision in the Qin law, but it should be stricter.

2. The identity of Mrs. Yangquan Junzheng is nonsense.
