My brother is the most handsome man in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 508: Xintong went to the county, intending to rebel, and the two emperors’ families destroyed the thirteenth family.
The rising sun has not yet risen, and the sky is no longer visible.

The night before dawn is the darkest.

Wei Zhang stayed up all night. An hour before going to court, the old housekeeper of the house called Mr. Liu.

The old housekeeper poured the tea, bowed, gave a deep salute, and went out to look for someone.

The tea soup on the table is steaming with steam and white mist is spreading.

While waiting, Wei Zhang put his two fingers on the tea cup. The sides of the cup were hot.

At this moment, the old housekeeper gently pushed the door open, letting in the cold wind and bowing again.

"Master, my wife is missing."

One person when leaving and one person when returning.

There was a bright red palm print on the left face of the old butler's face. Obviously, this invitation could not be summed up by simply "missing".

Wei Zhang had 37 concubines, and even he could not remember how many concubines he kept outside.

Just like Mrs. Liu didn't know how many Kunlun slaves, Yan and Zhao warriors, and beautiful prostitutes she had raised.

This situation is not uncommon, it happens to many aristocratic families.

The main wife has nothing to do with feelings, only strength. Marriage is a transaction.

The transaction is completed, and both parties advance and retreat together.

You are looking for Daji and Bao Si, and I am looking for Pan An and Song Yu.

You give your beautiful concubine to your friend, and I give you my concubine to my best friend.

Life is too short to have fun.

Wei Zhang threw the tea bowl angrily, causing the broken porcelain to explode. The servants in the hall were so frightened that their hearts skipped a beat and slowed down.

He walked out of the gate quickly, took out the Qin sword from the guard's waist, and rushed out with murderous intent.

The old housekeeper followed closely behind, not daring to stop him, even though he had followed Wei Zhang since he was ten years old and had saved Wei Zhang's life three times.

When they arrived outside Liu's bedroom, a tall and round maid came forward to greet her.

She is the housekeeper of the inner house. She has no contact with the inner family but does not ask about external affairs. Her status is higher than that of the old housekeeper who is in charge of the outer house.

She was brought by the Liu family from the Liu family, and the slap mark on the old housekeeper's face was caused by her.

"Master, madam, she"

Before he finished speaking, Qin Jian flashed past. The housekeeper's eyes widened and he fell to the ground crookedly, clutching his neck. There was a bright red between his fingers.

Wei Zhang walked through the flying dust, his trouser legs stained with dust.

The old housekeeper stopped slightly, and in a moment Wei Zhang took four steps.

Pursing his dry and leathery lips, the old housekeeper no longer hesitated and followed the owner of the house into the wife's bedroom, which was never allowed to be entered.

While walking through the dust area, he stepped on the housekeeper's fleshy face.

Wei Zhang opened the quilt and saw that Mrs. Liu was entangled with a handsome young man, rising and falling.

This picture is not pretty. From the outside, Liu is old enough to be a handsome boy and a mother, with a calf cultivating wasteland.

Mr. Liu didn't cultivate his internal strength, and he didn't have any medical descendants to take care of him. He didn't exercise restraint, so he couldn't save time.

Wei Zhang grabbed the handsome young man's hair and slashed the young man's neck open with his sword. Blood spurted on Mrs. Liu's face.

Mrs. Liu kicked the handsome young man away.

The young man fell to the ground with a thud, almost hitting the old housekeeper who came after him.

"What's the matter."

Mrs. Liu's face was covered with blood, and she stared at her husband's old face with a serious look on her face.

He didn't even glance at the handsome young man on the ground.

Wei Zhang dropped his sword to the ground, his eyes bloodshot.

"At midnight today, someone from the palace asked me to attend the court meeting. I asked someone to ask about your home, and they also came."

Mrs. Liu was frightened and furious. She grabbed Wei Zhang's chest and shook his half-black and half-white hair wildly.

"Such a big deal! Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Wei Zhang smiled miserably, covering Liu's face with his hands, wiping away the blood drops flowing everywhere.

"What's the point of telling you earlier? The city defense troops are all out, and Meng Yi personally leads the inspection. He will take anyone he sees and kill him if he resists. There is the sound of horse hooves rising and falling outside the city gate. If my prediction is correct, a hundred thousand troops have already arrived. The city was under siege and no one could escape alive.”

Mrs. Liu screamed, her hands were weak and she collapsed.

Wei Zhang held Xijun in his arms. This was the closest contact between the two of them in three years.

Mrs. Liu shivered and murmured again.

"How dare he...how dare he...how dare he..."

"I can turn a blind eye to other things. Only rebellion, I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go. Who would have thought that he could really kill the prince. If the letters from the Wei family are not found, I guarantee Your Liu family’s inheritance continues.”

Mrs. Liu's teeth chattered and chattered, and she forced herself to sit up from Wei Zhang's arms.

"If the Liu family's letters are not found, I will ensure that your Wei family's incense will never be extinguished."

Wei Zhang nodded.

"good."

Turn around decisively.

"I'm going."

It's time to make a promise and say goodbye, and it's time to go to court and die.

The old housekeeper drove the carriage and left Wei Mansion.

In the carriage, Wei Zhang gently lifted the corner of the carriage curtain, and five city defense troops passed by with cold expressions.

The curtains were kept open, and the carriage was silent all the way.

Every street is lined with city defense troops wearing strong armor and strong soldiers, one group at fifty paces and one ten at every hundred paces.

They wore non-reflective black armor and held bright spears in their hands.

Carriages drove out from various major mansions, marching under the eyes of the city defense army examining the prisoners. From time to time, screams could be heard throughout the quiet night.

After a moment of restlessness, it was a quieter night.

Apart from the rustling of wheels on the gallop, there was only the clatter of horses' hooves on the ground.

In front of Xianyang Palace, Zhang Han, the doctor, and Mengyi, the concubine, lined up on both sides of the city gate.

All officials entering the palace must get off the bus here, be searched by two people, and then enter alone after their identity is verified.

Some old people who were too old to walk were brought to the Xianyang Palace in carriages driven by palace charioteers.

The rest of the people, led by Lang Guan, walked to Xianyang Hall.

Wei Zhang followed Lang Guan and marched silently, not saying a word to his colleagues before and after him.

They were like ants, forming a line and forming a queue, marching towards Xianyang Palace.

Dark night enveloped the place.

The torches flickered.

Their movements were stiff, their heads lowered and silent, as if they could hear their own heartbeats in their ears.

boom!
Boom!

Bang bang bang!
faster and faster!Getting louder and louder!
The walk from the palace gate to Xianyang Palace is very long, and it normally takes half an hour.

Wei Zhang felt that the road was too short and he walked too fast.

He stood in front of Xianyang Palace, and the leading man waved his arms to signal him to come in. He was still a little unable to react.

Is this it?How long has it been?

He followed the crowd inside, feeling in a trance, like a walking corpse.

In the past, he would have been teased by old friends, but today no one teased him.

Those who ridiculed him were like zombies.

Being embraced by people from the front and back as he walked into the Xianyang Palace, Wei Zhang was in a daze for a moment before he remembered that he should find his place and looked around.

Looking at it, he almost fainted and fell to the ground.

He saw a person sitting on the high throne that should have been empty.

Wearing a black crown and a crown on his head, he was holding the armrest and leaning against the back of the chair.

The Second Emperor, who was always late for court meetings, came early this time.

The distance was too far, and it was blocked by the pearl and jade curtains hanging down from the Heavenly Crown. Wei Zhang couldn't see the second emperor's eyes, but he felt that the eyes between the curtains were cold and cold, and they were falling on him!
The reason why he didn't faint was because he saw that the table in front of the second emperor was empty.

He shivered, he was so cold that the extra fine fur coat he wore when going out was of no use at all.

He quickly lowered his gaze and found a seat in the hall.

He wanted to run over, but he didn't dare.No one ran away. When he ran, he was too conspicuous and attracted His Majesty's attention.

He tried his best to maintain a natural pace, observed his colleagues around him, learned from his colleagues' pace, and walked naturally at the pace of his colleagues. Little did he know that he was actually as stiff as a corpse.

But Wei Zhang didn't realize anything and didn't think there was anything wrong, because most people were like this.

Everyone thought that His Majesty was watching them, and everyone wanted to run to their seats and sit down, burying their heads and pretending to be dead.

No one dared to run, fearing that if no one else ran, one person would attract His Majesty's attention.

As a result, the Qin court, which gathered talents from all over the world, was filled with zombies.

Xianyang Palace is very hot.

The nine earth dragons buried under the Danqi are releasing heat.

The three-legged cauldron placed at the four corners of the hall was filled with burning briquettes.

The ministers had the experience of being left out to dry and freezing last time. Most of them wore thick warm clothes this time. Their backs were sweating due to the heat, and their foreheads were sweating, but few of them dared to move.

Lieutenant Lian Po took off his flaming fox fur and unbuttoned his underwear, revealing his two thick arms.

The approaching Prime Minister Zhou Qingchen on the left and Prime Minister Feng Quji on the right took an envious glance, but there was no movement.

Zhi Su Nei Shi Fu Zikang took off his clothes. Tingwei Zhang Tu wiped his sweat and did not dare to move.

Prime Minister Jiang Shang took off his clothes. Cai Ze, the censor doctor, grabbed his collar, let go, and closed his eyes to rest.

Most of the others have not moved since they sat down, as if they would die if they even tried to move.

The beads of sweat dripping from their foreheads and the sound of hitting the table will make their heartbeats speed up by half a beat.

The doctor ordered Zhang Han and Nei Shi Mengyi to enter the palace. They took off their armor and put on court clothes at the entrance of the palace, and sat down at the banquet.

"Everyone is here, let's have a court meeting."

There was a sudden voice in Xianyang Palace, and most of the officials trembled.

Ying Chengyu, who was sitting in a high position, had a panoramic view of everything. He sat up straight and tapped his fingers on the table twice.

"Bring them all up."

The accompanying eunuch responded softly and went about his own business.

After a while, two tall eunuchs walked in carrying a pole.

Take out all the papers in the basket and put them into categories on the table in front of Ying Cheng.

"Keep your heads up."

When the second emperor gave orders, all civil and military officials raised their heads.

When they saw the piece of paper that was placed a foot high and almost blocked the figure of the second emperor, many people's pupils shrank suddenly.

The last bit of luck was gone.

Ying Chengyu picked up the top stack of papers, flipped through them, divided them into four parts and handed them to the eunuch beside him.

"Pass it on so that everyone can see it."

"only."

The paper was moved from the high platform to the lower part of the court hall.

From the hands of the second emperor to the hands of the ministers.

They were passed around one after another. If you didn't read carefully, the eunuch waiting nearby would help you turn back the previous piece of paper and read it again.

Although there are four identical copies, it takes a long time for everyone to look at them in such detail.

When Wei Zhang got it in his hand, it was already a quarter of an hour later. Halfway through flipping through it, his hands started to tremble and he could no longer hold the paper.

Like many colleagues who read it before him, he needed the help of the eunuch to read it.

After everyone had looked at it, the four eunuchs returned it again.

Ying Chengyu took the paper.

"Have seen it all. Suning, Li Jun, Taizu... these 13 people instigated the prince to rebel, collect grain at high prices to disrupt our Qin Dynasty, and want to provoke a civil uprising. The letters are here as physical evidence. They fought with the city defense on the way to the meeting. The fact that the army fought with weapons and intended to break out of the city overnight is a witness. There are all physical witnesses. What punishment should be given to the traitor who intends to rebel and usurp the throne?"

Silence for a while.

The ministers looked around, looking for the thirteen colleagues mentioned by the second emperor, but did not see any of them.

"Dangyi tribe!"

Prime Minister Zuo Zhou Qingchen stood up and raised his hands, his voice loud and clear.

Ying Chengxi nodded.

"Do you have any objections?"

No one said anything. Rebellion was to shake the emperor's rule and was an inexcusable crime.

Anyone who dares to speak out will die, without exception.

"Since you have no objections, let's just do it. Meng Yi, Zhang Tu, you two will work together to handle it after the dynasty is over."

In one sentence, the Thirteenth Generation family was destroyed.

The emperor's beaded curtain jingled.

The ministers' hearts pounded.

They watched the second emperor drop the letters written by 13 people to the prince, and then picked up a few more from the thick letters.

His face was pale and his breathing was short. He didn't know if it was the letter he had sent to Shangjun.

That thick thing was not a letter, but a reminder.

"Wei Zhang, your handwriting is pretty good."

Wei Zhang's heart stopped, the world was spinning, his vision went dark, and he fainted.

When he woke up again, his hair was dripping down, and in front of him was a black bird with its wings spread out and its neck stretched out.

He bit the tip of his tongue, and the severe pain woke up his dizzy brain.

"His Majesty."

His voice was hoarse, and he felt like he had aged ten years just now.

"I see that your eyes are blue, which is a sign that you haven't slept well. If I see that your hall is dark, it means that a disaster is about to happen."

The ministers were silent, with a feeling of sadness and anger that they were all mice, being played by a cat.

Wei Zhang smiled miserably. Knowing that his death was imminent, he said the two words he wanted to say the most to the second emperor who was just around the corner.

"Dark Lord!"

Prime Minister Zuo jumped to his feet and cursed.

"Bold old thief! Dare to insult His Majesty! Kill with a stick! Kill with a stick!"

The Prime Minister on the right trembled and scolded angrily.

"Rebellion, rebellion, rebellion! No king, no father! Rebel against Tiangang! You really are not a son of man! The punishment the left prime minister said is too light, you should be a coward!"

Ying Chengyu waved his hand, and the prime minister, who was spitting like an old man and a young man, shut up.

Weighing the thin letter paper in his hand, he lifted up the bead curtain with a curious look on his face.

"What have I done to deserve Duke Wei to call him a coward?"

The cold water soaked through his clothes. Wei Zhang, who shivered constantly when it was extremely hot, did not tremble at all when it was extremely cold.

He stood up proudly, straightened his chest, and remembered the pride of his ancestors at the last moment of his life.

Old Qin people, die standing!
"Hunjun! If you want to kill, just kill! No need to say more!"

Ying Chengqiao chuckled.

"That's not the case. I can still bear the words of a cowardly king. Killing with a stick and decapitation is too cruel. What the Duke of Wei has committed, there is no need for such a heavy punishment."

Wei Zhang sneered.

"Hunjun, do you want to say that I am too cheap to be in the capital with the stick and the owl, so it should be the Yi tribe?! Come on!"

Ying Cheng frowned and took half a step back.

"Did Mr. Wei suffer from some kind of madness? You just wanted to die yourself. Why did you want to take the three tribes to die with you? The Yi tribe is punished for treason, and you also rebelled? Are those 13 people in the same party?"

Wei Zhang's beard and hair were spread out.

"Isn't the object in your hand? Why are you so pretentious? You feel like vomiting! If you kill your brother and your nephew, the history books will record your bad deeds!"

Ying Cheng shook the letter, stuffed it into Wei Zhang's hand, turned around, and walked back to the throne.

"Wei Zhang, you have offended me several times. Considering your old age, I will give you a lighter punishment and fine you [-] stone grain. Are you willing?"

Wei Zhang lowered his head, looked at the letter written by himself and sent to Shangjun to contact the prince for rebellion, and flipped through it.

Looking up blankly, at a loss.
