My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

In the Qilin Hall, the officials were in an uproar.

"Torture?!!"

Punishment is one of the five major punishments in Zhou rites. It can range from cutting off the bridge of the nose to cutting off the entire nose!

After torture, the human body's ability to filter, purify, and regulate temperature and humidity of the air will be greatly weakened, causing the lungs to lose their first line of defense, making it easy for fatal symptoms such as dehydration and microbial infection to occur, and the survival time to be greatly reduced.

Compared with the trauma to the body, torture hurts the soul more.

In this era, posture, appearance and appearance are unabashedly valued. People with ugly appearance are not even qualified to be officials.

In such an era, how should a person without a nose face the eyes of ridicule and discrimination?

How much courage does it take for him to live in the world with a face without a nose!

Ying Zheng suddenly looked at Ying Xi. At this time, Ying Xi should stand up and say something.

But Ying Xi kept silent. A tortured Ying Chenglong was obviously in Ying Xi's interests.

Ying Zheng looked at Xiong Qi again.

Xiong Qi nodded lightly, stood up and held his hands in his hands: "Prime Minister Lu, I think that torture is inappropriate!"

"Young Master Cheng Yu has committed an unjust crime, and he also cares about the Qin Dynasty. He even used the title of the emperor to pay for his crime. He should be sentenced to a fine (fines and gifts), not physical punishment!"

Lu Buwei shook his head: "The truth is that all judgments are based on Qin law."

"Under the combined punishment of several crimes, torture is the most appropriate punishment."

"And it's just a fluke that Young Master Chenglong can win this battle."

"For the sake of a lucky victory and the old land of Korea, the generals are tempted to act on their own, make their own decisions, and disobey the king's orders. It is really a small gain but a big loss."

Lu Buwei emphasized his tone: "The young master must be severely punished if he becomes a dragon. Only in this way can we understand the canonical punishment!"

Xiong Qi also raised his voice: "But Young Master Chengxi is my Great Qin Young Master, how can he be tortured and damage the face of my Great Qin?"

Lu Buwei said calmly: "Young Master is not the heir of the king, so why can't he be punished?"

"In the past, when Young Master Qian was tortured, did the Qin Dynasty lose its face?"

"It just makes the head of Qin Dynasty more willing to abide by the laws of Qin Dynasty!"

"In the past, Young Master Qian was punished for the Qin Dynasty, but today, why does Young Master Cheng Xi have to abolish the punishment for selfish reasons?"

Xiong Qihuo asked, "Can the old master Qian use his title to pay for his sins?"

Lu Buwei asked: "In the past, could Prince Qian disobey the king's order?"

Xiong Qi was unwilling to give in.

Ying Chengxuan and Ying Zheng were both grandchildren of the Queen Mother Huayang. If anything happened to Ying Zheng, or if he tried to escape from control, Ying Chengxuan would be the alternative plan for the Chu family's relatives.

Lu Buwei was even more unwilling to give in.

As long as Ying Chenglong is tortured, Ying Chenglong will become a disabled person, and a disabled person is not qualified to be the king of Qin!

Lu Buwei can accept Ying Chengxuan's survival, but Lu Buwei will never allow Ying Chengxuan to have the qualifications to threaten Ying Zheng's throne!

Today all the ministers have arrived, and all the forces from all sides are in the palace.

In addition to the military, all parties including Lu Buwei and Xiong Qi, the Lao Ai clan, the Da Qin clan and other forces participated in the war, and the intensity of the conflict escalated rapidly.

Seeing that Tingwei Xiong Mao had rolled up his sleeves and was going to beat Qi Mang, Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si.

Li Si's anger turned to his Dantian and he shouted in a deep voice:

"quiet!!!"

With a shout, calm returned to the Qilin Hall.

Only then did Ying Zheng speak: "What Father Zhong said is what I said."

The eyes of Xiong Qi, Wang Jian and others were full of disappointment.

Lu Buwei smiled relaxedly, stood up and held his hands in his hands: "Your Majesty is wise!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Buwei couldn't wait to order: "Please go to Tingwei Prison for execution!"

Ying Zheng shouted in a deep voice: "Wait a minute!"

"We, the Qin Dynasty, must reward those who have made merit and punish those who have made mistakes. After being punished, you should be rewarded."

"The young master formed a dragon formation to kill Han Qi, the left prime minister of South Korea. It should be said that the merit of killing the general can offset the crime of torture."

"Young Master Cheng Yu has seized the territory of Korea for our Great Qin. For the sake of expanding the territory, he should be granted a title of fief and nobility!"

Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief as if he had been struck by lightning.

The truth is that you have worked hard and fought with the ministers just to prevent Ying Chengyu from becoming an obstacle to your future.

If you are not willing to kill Ying Chengxiang, okay, I will give in and I will spare his life.

But you can't even bear to part with his nose?

Is Ying Chengyu's nose more important than the stability of your throne?

The truth is fighting for you, how can you backstab the truth like this!

Lu Buwei lowered his voice and asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, why do you want to add the title of Xiong and a fief to the young master?"

Ying Zheng explained seriously: "How can the young master Cheng Xiu lead the army to destroy Han without any reward?"

"What did the officers and soldiers of the Qin Dynasty think after this news came out? How did the leaders of the Qin Dynasty and Guizhou treat me?"

"Do all of us in Great Qin still dare to fight?"

Lu Buwei suppressed his anger and spoke in a low voice: "But this is the law!"

"Rewarding the entire army is enough to make the soldiers and Guizhou leaders understand that Da Qin will reward those who have meritorious services."

"Only by punishing the young master in accordance with the law can we let the soldiers and the leaders of Guizhou know that our great Qin must punish us for our mistakes!"

Ying Zheng nodded in agreement: "What Father Zhong said is absolutely true."

"Therefore, I agree with Father Zhong's judgment and will spread it throughout the Qin Dynasty."

"Zhongfu is the first to judge and punish, and I am the last to reward. There is no conflict."

Lu Buwei couldn't hold back his anger: "Punish first and then reward, what's the difference between punishing first and then rewarding!"

Ying Zheng's voice also became more solemn: "I think that Lord Shang specially left the right to become king for the king in the past because he wanted to tell the king that legal principles are important and human relationships are equally important!"

Lu Buwei was stunned: "Your Majesty, you..."

Shang Yang's reform greatly restricted the rights of the King of Qin. Even the King of Qin must strictly follow the military merit system to ennoble marquises.

Shang Yang very much hoped to further restrict the power of the King of Qin, but the result of the collision between the monarchy and the power of the prime minister was that Shang Yang had to give in, allowing the King of Qin to retain the right to enfeoff the monarch.

As long as the King of Qin is happy and has some excuse, the King of Qin can grant him the title of king.

Therefore, there is only one marquis in Da Qin today, Lu Buwei, but there are more than ten lords such as Changping Lord, Changwen Lord, Weiyang Lord, and Yangquan Lord.

However, in Ying Zheng's explanation, the concession that Shang Yang had to make turned out to be Shang Yang's intention to tell King Qin that legal principles are nothing more than human feelings?

This is so cool!

The show was so good that Shang Yang would have faked his corpse if he hadn't been quartered by five horses!

Because this directly tore a hole in Shang Yang's legal spirit, allowing Lu Buwei's thoughts to be inserted into this hole, gently transforming Da Qin, and also allowing Lu Buwei's thoughts and Shang Yang's thoughts to change from direct confrontation to grafting relationship.

Lu Buwei also thought about starting from this aspect, but he gave up just thinking about Lu Buwei, because this requires Ying Zheng's full support to achieve it.

Now, Ying Zheng finally expressed his support!

You are so sensible, I am embarrassed to contradict you.

Lu Buwei's tone quickly softened, and he whispered in a voice that only two people could hear:

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"You should know what I want. This is a way to make all three parties feel at ease."

"The throne is not a child's play!"

Ying Zheng's voice became more and more determined: "I and Brother Wang don't need this method to calm each other's hearts."

"The power of becoming a king is the power of a few people. If there are still unpaid crimes, Father Zhong can punish him."

"I can just make my brother a king again!"

Ying Zheng has shown his cards, and I am ready to act rogue!

You can decide whatever you want. After the verdict, I will give the king a title to compensate for the crime.

It depends on whether you can find more crimes, or whether I can find more reasons to be crowned king!

Seeing that Lu Buwei's face looked a little ugly, Ying Zheng's voice also turned gentle:

"If the parents give birth to a child, the child will not dare to kill it. If the parents neglect it, the child will not dare to destroy it. If the parents take care of it, the child will not dare to destroy it."

"Father Zhong, you taught me this, and I will always keep it in my heart!"

Looking at Ying Zheng's firm and sincere eyes, Lu Buwei was a little distracted.

Let Ying Zheng value etiquette, law, filial piety and righteousness. Isn't this exactly what Lu Buwei taught?

Without Lu Buwei's teachings, Ying Zheng might not value brotherhood as much as he does today.

For more than ten years, Lu Buwei's painstaking efforts, instructing and teaching Ying Zheng day and night, now turned into bullets and rained down on Lu Buwei himself!
