Chapter 373 Out of fear, Qi's choice
thump--

Ying Xi's words scared all the ministers to their knees and kowtowed.

"You are wronged, His Royal Highness is wronged!"

"The slander must be the slander of those rebels!"

"How dare we do anything to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

The ministers were so frightened that half of their souls went away, and they kowtowed and made loud noises.

This time, they were really wronged.

This is the spring festival, no matter how courageous they are, they dare not do anything to Ying Xi at this time.

Besides, their current focus is to solve the troubles in Yanzhao Land, so why would they make trouble for themselves?
Ying Xi also knew that the assassination tonight had nothing to do with these people.

With the courage of these people, it is absolutely impossible to dare to do something to them easily.

I said that just to scare these people.

These ministers are all greedy people who have been given a ladder to go to the house.

For these people, scaring them from time to time can serve as a warning to these people.

Seeing that the ministers were scared to death, Ying Xi smiled with satisfaction.

"Unfortunately, those people died so quickly, the prince didn't ask who among you it was."

When the ministers heard this, their pinched hearts relaxed.

"But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime can't be escaped!"

Ying Xi's voice became stern again: "On such an important day as the Spring Ritual Sacrifice, there are assassins who assassinate the Crown Prince. It is the oversight of you ministers!"

"The crown prince punished you to kneel like this tonight!"

After speaking, Ying Xi flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

When the ministers heard such a "light" punishment, they all kowtowed to Ying Xi's back as if they had received an amnesty.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

After Ying Xi left, the ministers let out a long sigh of relief.

But immediately, I felt some pain in my knee.

The youngest of these ministers is over forty years old, and in this day and age, they can already be regarded as old people.

The decline in physical function made them feel a piercing pain even though they only knelt for a moment.

For a moment, the ministers scolded the assassinated men in black in their hearts.

It would be fine if they could succeed, and they would be freed.

They didn't succeed, and they were punished. These people really deserved to die!

After the scolding, the ministers' hearts were suspended again.

The assassination tonight cannot be just one time, but a beginning!
In the future, such things will probably continue in an endless stream!

In the black night sky, there is a feeling that a storm is coming...

The ministers felt right, and early the next morning, an edict was handed down.

"Marquis of Zhen Guo and Lord Wen and Wu colluded with the officials of Yanzhao to overthrow Daqin and overthrow the crime of treason! The crime is unforgivable, and the death penalty will be imposed on the nine clans!"

As soon as this handbook was issued, the entire Daqin, from top to bottom, was stunned.

Did they hear it right?

Marquis Zhen Guo and Lord Wen Wu actually wanted to overthrow Da Qin?
And the punishment they received turned out to be Zhu Jiu Clan?
These two, no matter which one it is, will be news that shakes the world at any time.

But this time, two messages appeared at the same time!

This is undoubtedly a blockbuster for those well-informed ministers.

At the same time, this also heralded that Ying Xi's butcher knife was raised again.The ministers who were related to the land of Yanzhao tensed up when they thought of the words "kill the nine tribes."

Even Zhen Guohou and Wen Wujun were both sentenced to death. If evidence of their collusion with Yanzhao officials is found, their fate cannot be better than this!
They knew very well that Ying Xi was not a person who would show mercy.

The 21st year of Qin Wangzheng, the [-]th day of the first month.

The first day after the spring festival was supposed to be a day when everything was revived.

But this day, in Daqin, was a day when everyone held their breath.

In the past, this day was the day when King Qin pardoned the world, showing his kindness.

But this day, the 21st year of Qin Wangzheng, broke the history that lasted for nearly a thousand years.

On this day, Ying Xi did not issue any decree to amnesty the world. Instead, he wanted to kill people!
In Xianyang City, when they saw a group of people being pushed towards Caishikou, the people didn't have any surprises on their faces, but thought it was a very normal thing.

Since Yingxiu Jianguo, many days used to celebrate in the past have been cast a shadow.

Those days worth celebrating, in Ying Xi's eyes, seem to be no different from ordinary days, they are all good days for killing people.

The same is true today.

After hearing that Zhen Guohou and Wen Wujun were about to be punished by the Nine Clans, the people already had expectations in their hearts.

They are already numb.

At the same time, in the capital of Qi State, King Qi was glaring at Tian Ji.

"You also advocated surrendering to the Qin Dynasty at the beginning, why do you go back on your word now?"

After he realized the strength of Daqin, he was already prepared for the surrender of Qi State.

But even the matter that he, the king of Qi, agreed to, was strongly opposed by Tian Ji.

Today, he finally couldn't take it anymore and showed his cards to Tian Ji.

He couldn't understand Tian Ji. It was obviously Tian Ji who proposed to surrender to Da Qin at the beginning, which made him finally make up his mind.

But after he agreed, Tian Ji became less active and even obstructed himself everywhere.

King Qi stared at Tian Ji, he had to ask Tian Ji to give him an explanation.

In fact, what he wanted was not an explanation.

What he wanted was time to surrender to Daqin.

In the past few months, Daqin has been frantically cleaning up the interior like a tiger or a wolf.

Although King Qi doesn't have much talent, he also knows that once Daqin completes the internal adjustment, it will take action externally.

And Qi State bears the brunt.

Therefore, there is not much time left for Qi State to be included by Da Qin.

If he took the initiative to contribute to the country before Daqin took action, Daqin would treat him kindly no matter what.

But once Daqin was allowed to do something, what he would have to face would most likely be death.

Such a simple choice, King Qi can still figure it out.

Therefore, he has already made a decision, if Tian Ji can't give a sufficient reason to convince himself, then he will not hesitate any longer, and directly offer his country to Great Qin!
"Your Majesty, I naturally have a reason."

Faced with King Qi's anger, Tian Ji was confident.

"Okay, say it!"

King Qi waited for Tian Ji, wanting to hear if Tian Ji could tell one, two, three.

"Your Majesty, please listen to the minister's detailed explanation."

Tian Ji was neither in a hurry nor panic, and said slowly: "Your Majesty wants to offer his country to Great Qin, and I naturally understand why."

"Today's Daqin is far more powerful than our Daqi. If Daqin invades, our Daqi will naturally have no power to resist. Therefore, the king hopes that he can take the initiative to contribute to the country and get more benefits, right?"
