Shenhao's Journey to Myriad Worlds

Ying Zheng raised his brows when he heard the words, looked back at Zhao Ji, nodded slightly, and then glanced at Lie Zuochen, with a hint of sarcasm on his originally indifferent face, and said:

"Your Majesty, is there any evidence for this statement?"

"Why do you need to prove it? This is something that everyone knows. The face of my Qin royal family has been embarrassing to your mother and son!"

Now that the matter has come to this point, Mrs. Xiuli doesn't care about face anymore.

Just this hurdle, if you pass the rich and powerful, if you can't pass it, you will die and your family will be wiped out, what else is there to be reserved?

"You slander!"

When Zhao Ji heard Mrs. Xiuli's words, she felt anxious, and took two steps forward, wanting to do something.

Mrs. Xiuli saw Zhao Ji's intentions, she dismissed it, and also took two steps forward, and said contemptuously:

"What? You want to do it because you can't say it? Do you think that all the courtiers are indiscriminate?"

"You don't have to provoke me here!"

Ying Zheng stepped forward, grabbed Zhao Ji's wrist, looked at her and said softly:

"Leave this matter to my son, and I won't let some rumors disturb my father's reputation. Don't worry, mother and concubine!"

Ying Zheng gently pushed Zhao Ji aside, turned to look at Mrs. Xiuli with a bright face, and asked calmly:

"You haven't told Gu yet, where is your evidence!"

"Evidence? What more evidence do you need? What your mother did is the greatest evidence!"

Ying Zheng pursed his lips when he heard Mrs. Xiuli's words, shook his head slightly, frowned and said:

"That is to say, there is no real evidence for what Madam said, and she just relied on her imagination to slander Yu Gu?

You have so much guts, do you think I, Qin Fa, are you joking? "

Saying that, without waiting for Mrs. Xiuli's excuse, she turned her head to look at the minister beside her, and asked sharply:

"Wait, who can tell Gu, according to my Daqin law, what crime should be slandered!"

The sitting courtiers looked at each other, but no one dared to stand up and answer.

"Are you so out of breath that you were caught in the truth by me, and you want to rush to silence it? Ah? If you say you are the son of King Qin, do you dare to prove your innocence in front of the whole family?"

After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Mrs. Xiuli finally became anxious, pointed at Ying Zheng, and began to curse loudly.

Ying Zheng ignored him, looked at the courtiers, narrowed his eyes, and asked repeatedly:

"What? You are all the pillars of my Qin State, but you don't even remember the foundation of my Qin State?

Can anyone tell Gu, what is the crime of slander in our state of Qin? "

The courtiers haven't figured out the character of the new monarch, so they dare not intervene at will.

Ying Zheng looked at the silent ministers, glanced around, and asked directly:

"Ting Wei, where is my Qin Guo Ting Wei?"

Among the courtiers, a man in a white linen toga stood up, faced Ying Zheng, and bowed respectfully.

"Chen, Fei, meet the prince!"

"Free gift!"

Ying Zheng looked at this person, his expression moved slightly, showing a hint of interest.

"Han Fei? My teacher, Mr. Guanlan, once commented on the heroes of the world with Gu Ping. He mentioned Han Qing. I wonder if Han Qing would like to hear your teacher's evaluation of you?"

Hearing this, Han Fei saluted respectfully, and said in a calm tone:

"My lord, I would like to hear the details!"

Seeing his behavior, Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and said loudly:

"My master once said that all schools of thought in the world, including the Legalist school, should regard you as the most respected person. He said that you are a master of magical powers, and that you are an outstanding person who is rarely seen in a hundred years. I don't know if you think so?"

Hearing this, Han Fei felt a warm current in his heart, bowed again, and said respectfully:

"Mr. Guanlan's absurd praise, I really don't dare to be a minister!"

Ying Zheng waved his sleeves and said loudly:

"Han Qing's works are often studied alone, and the income is not small. Han Qing does not need to be too modest!"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the silent Mrs. Xiuli again, and raised his voice to ask:

"Han Qing, as my Great Qin Tingwei, is at ease, and I ask Han Qing to tell Yu Gu explicitly, what should be the crime for this slander?"

"This..."

Han Fei fell silent after hearing the words, looking at Mrs. Xiuli's red eyes, unable to answer for a long time.

"Oh? You don't know either!"

Ying Zheng looked at Han Fei's behavior and his face became dangerous.

Han Fei was shocked when he heard the words, and realized that the actions of the courtiers had aroused the fear of the new king. He frowned and said slowly:

"Prince Mingjian, according to the laws and regulations of the Great Qin, falsely accuse, and sit back!"

"False accusation?"

Ying Zheng heard the meaning of Han Fei's words, turned his head to look at Han Fei suddenly, stared at him firmly, and asked word by word:

"Han Qing, are you sure you are falsely accusing me of rebellion?"

Slander and false accusation are two completely different terms. Slander refers to fabricating facts to derogate reputation.

False accusation, on the other hand, refers to fabricating facts and framing them through public power.

These are two completely different concepts, and the methods of conviction are also completely different.

Han Fei naturally understood the meaning of the new king, took a deep breath, slowly prostrated himself on the ground, and said earnestly:

"Prince Mingjian, according to my Daqin law, it is indeed a false accusation to rebel, and I dare not lie in the slightest!"

Ying Zheng heard the words, took a deep look at Han Fei, and said slowly:

"Ting Wei is an important minister in charge of the criminal law of our Great Qin Dynasty, and he is also a famous legalist mentioned by his family teacher. I alone believe what Ting Wei said.
