Chapter 43: The court is shaken, the new butcher of the Qin Dynasty

This unexpected incident left Ying Zheng and his ministers confused.

What kind of horrifying thing was recorded in the battle report that could cause a senior minister to lose his composure like this?
"My dear Chunyu, what happened?"

"What on earth was recorded in the war report that frightened you so much?"

Ying Zheng asked with a frown, his expression revealing dissatisfaction.

As a senior minister of the Qin Dynasty, he was frightened so badly by a war report. It was really disgraceful.

"My king, I... this."

"The second prince he...he..."

Chunyu Yue's voice was trembling and he was unable to express himself completely.

Seeing Chunyu Yue like this, Ying Zheng showed contempt in his eyes, shook his head slightly, and turned to Li Si: "Tingwei, you read it."

As a representative of the Legalists, Li Si had a tough character and was a confidant whom Ying Zheng relied on very much.

"Yes!"

Li Si responded to the order and stepped forward to pick up the battle report discarded by Chunyu Yue.

He was also curious about what kind of battle report could frighten Shangqing Chunyu Yue so much that he was speechless.

Unfolding the bamboo slips, Li Si quickly read through them.
Seeing those lines of handwriting, Li Si's eyes suddenly widened, his pupils constricted, his breathing became rapid, and his whole body trembled!
however.

After all, Li Si was a leading figure of the Legalists and had witnessed many magnificent scenes with Ying Zheng. He would not abandon battle reports out of panic like Chunyu Yue did.

But he was deeply shocked, his heart was pounding, and his limbs were cold.

When Ying Zheng saw this scene, his expression became serious.

He knew Li Si's character very well. To make Li Si show such shock, something earth-shattering must have happened!
"Tingwei!"

"Tingwei!!"

"Tingwei!!!"

Ying Zheng called out three times, each time louder and louder. He was anxious to know what kind of changes were hidden in the battle report.

Why do all those who have read it have such an expression?

At Ying Zheng's call, Li Si suddenly came back to his senses, his body shook, his face turned pale, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead, instantly soaking his clothes.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"This battle report is extraordinary. Please be prepared, Your Majesty."

Li Si bowed and warned Ying Zheng.

The contents of the report are truly horrifying!

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Si's serious expression, his curiosity grew even more.

"Report to the king: Yan Dan took advantage of our army's attack on Zhao State and colluded with the nobles in the city to attack from both inside and outside, seized Ji City, proclaimed himself the King of Yan, and restored the old system of Yan State."

The first sentence immediately made Ying Zheng's heart rise to his throat.

Could it be that the newly conquered State of Yan was lost?

The ministers also became suspicious, and some even began to complain.

"The Second Prince is really something. He conquered Yan State but didn't consolidate it. He then went to attack Zhao State. As a result, Yan State rebelled. All his efforts were in vain."

"exactly!"

"Fortunately, we conquered Zhao, otherwise Qin would have become a laughing stock."

"The Second Prince is still too young!"

Ying Zheng listened to the ministers' discussions but did not pay attention to them. His eyes were always fixed on Li Si.

He knew there was more to come.

This incident alone would not have caused Chunyu Yue to lose his voice, nor would it have made Li Si act so solemnly.

"Upon hearing the news, the Second Prince led the Snow Dragon Cavalry back to quell the rebellion."

"Yan Dan, with the help of the Mohists, used thousands of mechanical beasts, such as mechanical white tigers, mechanical black tortoises, and mechanical spiders, to guard Jicheng in an attempt to resist the attack of the second prince."

"However, the Second Prince's strength is unrivaled in the history and he is extraordinary. Thousands of mechanical beasts were reduced to dust with one sword!"

"Then, he condensed a thousand-meter giant sword, and the sword energy spanned 30,000 miles. The power of the sword actually split the entire Ji City into two!"

Hear this!

Ying Zheng and his ministers could not help but be shocked and screamed.

“Oh my god!” “Did I hear that right?!”

"Thousands of Mohist mechanical beasts were actually wiped out by the Second Prince with just one sword?!"

"The entire Ji City was split in half by the Second Prince's sword?!"

“I’m dizzy!”

"How can this be!"

"too exaggerated!"

The court immediately exploded
They were well aware of Ying Ziye's might, but they never expected him to be so strong!
With one sword, the city was split into two!
This person is not an ordinary person, he is clearly a god on land!

No, it's more like the arrival of a god from the nine heavens!

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng was stunned with shock, his face full of disbelief.

Such power was far beyond his imagination.

Could it be that my son Ye is the reincarnation of a celestial being, who has come to help the Qin Dynasty unify the world?
However.
Something is wrong!
If that were all, it would be enough to shock people, but it wouldn't be enough to make Chunyu Yue speechless with shock, right?
Is there a hidden secret in it?

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si, his eyes full of questions.

Li Si met Ying Zheng's gaze, swallowed involuntarily, and took a deep breath to suppress the fear in his heart.

"Yan Dan was defeated, and Jicheng once again came under the rule of our Qin cavalry."

"The Second Prince's order, according to Qin law, all those who rebel will have their three clans exterminated, a total of 444,444 people!"

"all."

"Behead!"

Li Si shouted out the last word with almost all his strength.

hiss!
As soon as Li Si finished speaking, Ying Zheng, Wang Wan, Feng Quji, and even the battle-hardened general Yang Duanhe, all gasped!
Above the court!

Everyone's pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip due to shock, and their eyes became unfocused, as if they had fallen into an icy cave!

My jaw almost dropped to the ground!
A chill rushed up from the soles of the feet to the top of the head, and everyone felt as if they were in a snowy field in the dead of winter, and the cold penetrated their hearts!
Horrified!

Shocking!

Unbelievable!

incredible!

More than 440,000 people were killed!
This reminded them of the legendary figure of the Qin Dynasty.

The god of killing, Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an!
then.

In the Battle of Changping, 400,000 Zhao soldiers were buried alive, shocking the world!
Today, Ying Ziye did not hesitate at all. He exterminated the entire clan of the rebels and buried alive 440,000 people!
Such determination!

How cruel!

Compared with Bai Qi back then, it is even worse!
The new killer god of the Qin Dynasty has appeared!
bang bang~
Huhu~
The Qin court was eerily quiet, with only the sound of people's pounding hearts and rapid breathing echoing.

The atmosphere was depressing and heavy; even the air seemed to become sticky, making it almost impossible to breathe!
More than 400,000 lives!
What a huge number that is!
They were all executed!
"brutal!"

"No way!"

"How could my second brother do such a thing that would infuriate the heaven and earth?"

"Those are living lives!"

"How can he be so cold and heartless!"

suddenly.

In the hall, angry rebukes were heard one after another, accusing Ying Ziye of his actions.

Everyone looked up and saw that it was the eldest prince Fusu.

Fusu was taught by Confucianism since childhood, and he advocated benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, and valued harmony. He hated such killing the most.

"Report to the King!"

"The Second Prince is so wantonly killing innocent people in Yandi. This is a blasphemy against the way of heaven!"

"This move will undoubtedly cause panic among the people in other places and may even lead to the breeding of rebellion."

"I beg the king to order the deprivation of the Second Prince's military power and to imprison him in the Heavenly Prison until the day of trial, and to inform the people of the world!"

When Chunyu Yue heard Fusu's rebuke, he stood up immediately without caring about his inner fear and launched a fierce attack on Ying Ziye.
