Chapter 194 Execution
Chapter 194 Execution
The next day when he went to court, Qin Xingfu kept yawning and felt a little drowsy while listening to the reports of the ministers.
"Your Majesty, the 50,000 people and 100,000 soldiers led by King Xianping have arrived in Beizhou. King Xianping said that the land is vast and very suitable for farming and breeding. Compared with the grain and meat of Daqin this year, I am afraid that we will not be able to eat them all."
The current Internal History of Grain, Wang Jinghui, reported this to Fusu, who nodded, saying that it would be better to have more food so that the people would not starve to death and the society could be stable.
"Your Majesty, those traitors should be executed!"
The censor reminded him, Fusu looked at Qin Xingfu, and Qin Xingfu saluted.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision!"
Fusu pondered for a long time before speaking.
"The traitors deserve death, but death is the most satisfying punishment for them. I will let the families of the soldiers who died in this incident torture them and make their lives worse than death."
The most important thing is the public opinion survey. The support rate for killing them is half and half, and there are reasons for both. Killing them is for temporary satisfaction, while not killing them will make their lives unhappy. They need to be tortured continuously so that they can deeply understand their mistakes! This also sets an example for the world.
After leaving the court, Qin Xingfu went to the prison specially built for Liu Bang and his men. The prison was guarded by layers of guards, and the simplest door required three people to open together.
Qin Xingfu did not go to see Liu Bang, but stood in front of Zhang Liang and asked him.
"How did you capture my parents' souls?"
Zhang Liang seemed not to have heard it and did not even raise his eyelids. Qin Xingfu looked at Xu Fu again.
"If you tell me, maybe I can save you some pain."
Xu Fu had just been punished today and was now lying on the ground covered in blood. He looked up at her with a weak breath, and his empty eyes slowly showed a hint of color.
"I don't know, but as long as they die, your parents will be saved and enter reincarnation, but the First Emperor will also die, haha..."
Qin Xingfu pinched his hands hard, but smiled without changing his expression.
"It's just a matter of seeing who lives longer. You will receive another kind of punishment in a few days. Just wait!"
Physical torture is useless. The relatives of the victims will come in a few days, and then they will be condemned by ordinary people.
Walking out of the prison, she said to Gode.
"Let's go to the Afang Palace."
"Here!"
The First Emperor's life was now very comfortable. He would call a few old ministers to accompany him from time to time. He was also close to Shanglin Garden, and occasionally went hunting with beauties accompanying him.
When Qin Xingfu arrived, Li Si was playing chess with the First Emperor, so Qin Xingfu stood there waiting for them to finish.
"Your Majesty, I am still not as good as you. After all these years, I still haven't been able to defeat you."
Li Si looked at his chess pieces that had been killed to the point of leaving no one alive, and had no choice but to admit defeat.
"Haha... you old bastard, you are becoming more and more cunning."
Just now he deliberately gave up a few words to make the First Emperor feel boring. Seeing Qin Xingfu, he waved to her to come to the next game.
"I've met the Supreme Emperor!"
"My Lord Prime Minister, now you have time to look at this old man like me. Come, play the next game with me!"
Li Si was helped by the eunuch to sit aside, Qin Xingfu sat down, and then began to play chess with the First Emperor.
"You kid, you are still so impatient when playing chess. Life is so long, and nothing can be achieved overnight."
The First Emperor saw that her attack was fierce and gradually frowned. Was this person going crazy today?
"I went to see those people today, and they said that our parents' souls can only be rescued if we kill those two people. But, if you kill them, you will die too!"
When Qin Xingfu made her move, the First Emperor noticed that she looked unhappy.
"Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial. I think I can live another ten or twenty years."
With this move, the First Emperor's offensive was no longer outdone and the game was instantly turned around.
"Yeah! Wasn't it wrong from the beginning?"
If she hadn't gotten involved, would her parents have suffered all this?
Li Si was horrified as he listened to this. Qin Xingfu actually went back on his word.
The First Emperor looked at her with cold eyes, picked up the chess piece with his fingers and put it down.
"so what?"
Do you want to kill him? Do you really want him to die? He was a hostage since he was young, and he experienced a lot of hardships. After that, what did he not get by himself? Why does everyone want him to die? Is his life so annoying?
Li Si was frightened by his terrifying aura. Looking at the Qin King's sword that he was holding tightly, he hoped that Qin Xingfu would die.
Qin Xingfu suppressed the discomfort in his throat, raised his eyes and said with a smile.
"Actually, they have a problem here. Someone said before that if they died, my parents' souls would be annihilated. Now they say that only if they die can my parents' souls be saved. This is contradictory and illogical, so..."
The chess piece fell, Qin Xingfu took a deep breath and continued.
"Please take good care of yourself, Your Majesty. As long as you and those people are not dead, my parents' souls will be safe. Maybe I will never see them again and can't go back, but I can help more people to the best of my ability, so that I will feel less guilty towards my parents."
True and false, false and true, Qin Xingfu analyzed it calmly and realized that it was just a matter of saving those people's lives.
The First Emperor thought about it and realized that there was indeed a contradiction in this matter. He suppressed his terrifying aura and tapped the table lightly with his fingers.
"But human life is limited."
"If only one day, I could get to know them personally!"
She couldn't guarantee how long the First Emperor would live. After all, as long as the First Emperor was alive, her parents' souls would remain normal. If he died one day, her parents' souls would definitely no longer exist. She would not give those people a chance.
The First Emperor understood what he meant and immediately burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha...I didn't misjudge you. You are a smart person. I lose!"
Sometimes the First Emperor had to admit that Qin Xingfu had a broader mind than him.
"Your Majesty, I appreciate your giving in!"
Qin Xingfu realized that he was asking her to abandon her child.
"You are here today. There are many new foods in the next two days. You can try them. There will also be singing and dancing performances. Let's have fun together."
The First Emperor was in a good mood, and Qi Le made arrangements quickly. He was still used to following the First Emperor, so he asked Fusu for permission to move in when the First Emperor moved in.
Qin Xingfu had no choice but to follow along. As soon as she sat down, two men sat next to her. Qin Xingfu almost rolled her eyes. Was the First Emperor addicted to rewarding people?
However, when she saw that there were two beauties beside Li Si, she didn't say anything. The First Emperor himself was hugging two beautiful women, still with charm. I wonder which prince's mother they were.
Qin Xingfu appreciated the delicious food, fine wine, beautiful women, and singing and dancing performances. The woman performing the performance had a graceful figure and good dancing skills.
The man next to her saw that she was staring at the beauty and was determined to pour her wine.
"Xiang Ji has long admired you, sir. Today I am honored to meet you. You are truly a man of heaven. I salute you!"
Qin Xingfu, who was drinking, was so scared by what she said that he spit out tears as soon as he realized his loss of composure.
Qin Xingfu covered his mouth tightly and coughed. How did Xiang Yu come to the Afang Palace? Could he have burned this place down?
