Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 136: Death of Shang Yang (Part )
Twenty days later,

As the conservatives' counterattack became more and more intense,
Qin Jun finally responded and wanted to mediate the conflict between the new and old forces.

The king's envoys came to Shangyu.
The city that the conservatives had been unable to capture for a long time was opened to him.

Subsequently,

Shang Yang was put on a prison cart and taken to Xianyang.

In the prison car, he watched Shangyu getting farther and farther away, and Xianyang getting closer and closer.

Gongzi Qian was responsible for putting him in the cell.

When Shang Yang was put into the dark cell, Gongzi Qian suddenly stretched out his hand.

Holding Shang Yang's shoulder with one hand,

One hand punched him hard on the nose.

Shang Yang was beaten so hard that stars appeared in his eyes, his nose turned blue and red, and his face was covered with blood.

He was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. He just covered his nose and glared at Gongzi Qian.

Gongzi Qian said confidently, "If you want revenge, you should do it as soon as possible."

"I don't want to vent my anger on a dead body."

So Shang Yang pulled the corners of his mouth to try to laugh, but the wound hurt so much that he frowned again.

"Sir, do you want to prepare some food for Shang Jun?" the subordinate asked, "He rarely eats on the road."

"No need!"

Gongzi Qian turned around indifferently and said, "It would be a waste of food to eat a dying person!"

Shang Yang pretended not to hear Gongzi Qian's sarcasm, but just grimaced in pain, tore a piece of cloth from his clothes and wiped his face to stop the bleeding.

Shang Jun, who held power for decades,

But I've never been so embarrassed.

When the bleeding stops,

Shang Yang leaned against the wall and began to doze off.

When Qin Junsi arrived, he saw Shang Jun, who was in a rare state of desolation.

More than a month ago,

He still called the shots in the Qin State.

In the blink of an eye, he became a prisoner.

After being the king for a month,
Ying Si is no longer the same as before.

The eunuch who followed the king went to wake Shang Yang up, "Hi, hi!"

Shang Yang then woke up and saw the King of Qin who was on a secret visit.

Qin Junsi asked someone to bring hot water and asked Shang Yang to tidy up his appearance.

After his messy hair was simply combed and the blood on his face was wiped clean, Shang Yang revealed his mean face.

Because I have lost a lot of weight recently,

Looks more like a debt collector.

But Qin Jun thought of his new method and couldn't help but feel:
Shang Yang did come to collect debts from the entire Qin State.

He tortured others.
He tortured himself.

"Shang Jun, how are you?"

This was the first time that Prince Si showed a kind and friendly attitude towards Shang Yang after he had a feud with him over his teacher.

In a daze,

There are some shadows of Ying Quliang.

But Shang Yang only realized it for a moment.

Then, he said directly to Qin Jun, "I'm going to die!"

"How will the king treat the new law in the future?"

Qin Jun was silent, and hadn't figured out how to answer yet.

Shang Yang did not wait for his answer and continued, "If you do not have power, how can you support Qin's laws even if you say you want to?"

"You are no match for your father."

Ying Si's face flushed with anger, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Did I say something wrong?"

Shang Yang snorted coldly, "The late emperor ascended the throne at the age of nineteen, only one year older than you, but after he came to power, he issued a decree to seek talents from all over the world, attracting talents like me."

"His will is stronger than yours, his mind is broader than yours, and his political tactics are more sophisticated than yours!"

"Before Gan Long sent his men to besiege Shangyu, didn't you still think he was a loyal and devoted old minister?"

The King of Qin could no longer hold back, and stared at Shang Yang's face, wanting to punch him as well.

But he finally endured it.

"I will definitely protect the legacy left by my ancestors!"

"I won't let those people destroy decades of hard work by my ancestors!"

"The Qin Kingdom will become even more powerful in my hands!"

"…How many people have you gathered in the court who are willing to support you in taking power?"

After listening to his heroic words, Shang Yang asked the question expressionlessly.

"It's still less than Gan Long and his group's number."

"If I die, can you bring more people?"

"can!"

Shang Yang's level of disgust,
It is unique in the world.

No one can surpass him at the moment.

Sacrificing one person truly will bring happiness to thousands of families.

"Well."

Shang Yang calmly straightened his clothes, knelt down and kowtowed in front of the location of Duke Xiao's tomb.

Then he said:
"I ask to commit suicide."

"I hope you can keep your word."

Qin Jun asked the eunuch to hand over the sword that he had prepared for a long time, and answered firmly, "Of course!"

"I am of Ying Qin bloodline!"

"I won't let my ancestors down!"

So Shang Yang took the sword, held it to his neck.

He left his last words to Qin Jun, "If you encounter any problems, you can ask your teacher."

"He is a loyal man, but unfortunately his disciple was disobedient and was instigated to violate Qin law. In order to uphold the law, he had no choice but to sacrifice himself."

Qin Jun couldn't have imagined that he would still stimulate himself when he was about to die.

So I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and turned around.

This was to prevent him from being unable to resist punching Shang Yang in grief and completely knocking his nose off.

Subsequently,

Behind him came the sound of flesh being cut.

Qin Jun immediately ordered, "Collect Shang Jun's body!"

After all,

He waved his sleeves and left.

As he walked out of the dark cell and into the light,
In the era of Duke Xiao,
It has since completely faded away.

Shang Yang was ordered by the King of Qin to be buried not far from the mausoleum of Duke Xiao.

But Gan Long and others were not satisfied.

After the Qin Emperor issued the order to "stop fighting and look forward to the future",

They still sent people to dig up Shang Yang's tomb, whip his corpse, and then draw his body apart.

The King of Qin was furious and took the opportunity to suppress old ministers like Gan Long, then seized power and became the true monarch of Qin.
He also ordered that Shang Yang's remains be arranged and reburied next to the tomb of Duke Xiao.

……

"here you go!"

He Bo, who was watching all this, applauded Qin Jun Si and said to Qin Jun Qu Liang beside him, "Your son looks more promising than Wei Hou Ji's son."

"Humph!"

Wei Ji, who was also nearby, was very unhappy and said with his hands behind his back, "It's too late now, but getting old may not be good!"

His unfilial son,

You did a lot when you were young!
Ying Si didn't even grow a beard.

How can you say you are better than Wei Ying?

"..."

Ying Quliang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and dared not speak.

He didn't expect that
I can still have such a situation after my death.

Shang Jun didn’t say that he knew ghosts and gods!
"By the way, where is Shang Yang?"

After looking around and not seeing the newly arrived dead guy, He Bo asked Ji Wu.

Ji Wu said, "They are still mourning beside his pile of rotten meat, trying to summon the souls of Gan Long and the others!"

"what?"

"He's already become rotten and broken, and you're still reluctant to let him go?"

Although the meat was dug out and then torn into pieces, the process was very smooth and not bloody at all.

But because there is a process of whipping the corpse before being torn apart by chariots, Shang Yang is indeed a bit of a bad person now.

Anyway, it's more than five equal parts.

He Bo couldn't bear to watch it, for fear that he would lose his appetite later.

So he simply asked Ying Quliang to bring back his pine and cypress trees.

When Shang Yang came back,
His face was green, and he looked like a ghost who wanted to take the lives of Gan Long and others on the spot.

"Gan Long and Du Zhi are both old ministers. They will die in a few years. You can beat them up then!"

"Look at Wei Ji, he's very familiar with this kind of thing!"

When Wei Ji heard this, his face turned pale.

He was obviously remembering the scene in which he was "escorted away by his ministers".

"Okay, I'll take you to pick up another person!"

After seeing the excitement, He Bo still has new plans to go on!

With a wave of his hand, he put all the dead bodies into his pocket and returned to Ye County.

In Ye County,
Liu He, who is seventy years old, is also old.

Just holding my breath,

Waiting for the birth of my great-grandson.

Lao Guixi and his sons and granddaughters were all gathered outside the delivery room with the mortals, waiting for the next generation.

And not long after,
A baby's cry was heard.
Liu He's eldest son rushed to his father's bedside and reported to him, "Father, a boy was born!"

Liu He said excitedly, "Good, good, good!"

"Hel me up!"

His son supported him so that he could raise his thin upper body.

After a simple cleansing, the child was brought in by his father and wrapped tightly.

The child was lying in a stranger's arms, away from his mother, crying with his mouth open.

He was terrified by the world.
But everyone around him was laughing.

The eldest grandson said, "The child's mother is too tired and is still resting. Let me bring the child over and show him to you, grandfather!"

"Grandfather, give him a name!"

The eldest grandson gently handed the child to Liu He's arms, not forgetting to hold the swaddling clothes with his hands.

Because Liu He no longer had the strength to hold the child.

The oldest elder and the youngest baby in the family snuggled together.

Looking at the wrinkled little face in front of him, the old man said the name he had thought of a long time ago, "Let's call him Qing!"

This child named Liu Qing,

He will be the next head of the Liu family.

He will also lead the Liu family to a new peak.

"Give him this jade pendant!"

Liu He tremblingly took out the gift he had prepared for his great-grandson from his arms.

The beautiful and small jade pendant was stuffed into the swaddling clothes and was subconsciously grabbed by the uneasy baby.

He Bo was watching from the side, and he said to Ying Quliang, "I still remember this jade pendant!"

"When this man got married, it was a gift from your father!"

of course,

As for Ying Shixi, who was in Anyi, how did he know that someone was holding a wedding in Ye County? The ghosts and gods would not give any additional explanation!
Ying Quliang was surprised and asked, "So there is such a fate?"

"That's really clever!"

His father's things.

It was passed down from generation to generation in this family.
Isn't it fate?

He Bo laughed, "Indeed, I didn't expect this to happen!"

He just asked casually at first.
Gongzi Lian also casually took it out.
Who knew that this gift would one day become someone else's heirloom?
The ghosts and gods are all amazed at such a coincidence,
Only the baby was crying in panic.

He held the warm jade pendant in his small hands, feeling the faint comfort.

When his father returned him to his mother's arms, the baby did not let go of him.

So my father said, "Qing really likes the gift from our great grandfather!"

"He will surely live as long as his great-grandfather!"

The mother was still a little weak, but she had the strength to hold the child.

She looked at the baby, smiled and touched his face and the sparse hair.

"How ugly!"

The mother couldn't help but think that her child's wrinkled face looked like a little monkey.

But he boasted:
“My son is so handsome!”

The father beside him was proud, "This must look like me!"

His mother glanced at him with disdain.

the other side,
Liu He fulfilled his wish, but finally couldn't hold on any longer.

In a trance, he saw his wife, who had been with him all his life, walking towards him with her hand extended.

His grandfather Liu Ping was waiting for him proudly not far away, and his father Liu Sheng...

Oh.
It’s actually a good thing that this person is not coming.

Liu He smiled, held his wife's hand, and then, just like when he was young,

Little boy and little girl,
Holding hands, they ran towards the clear Zhang River.

In the ghost country,

A new ghost has moved in.

And in the unknown land of the far west,
A young prince who was the same age as Qin Jun Ying Si also won a crucial battle for his father.

At both ends of the distance,

Both of them were in high spirits.
