Chapter 753: Life or death(2/2)
When Wang Yue heard this, he knew that Zhao Gao had said something wrong. Zhao Gao was an eunuch and could be arrested, but not tried.
Sure enough, Meng Tian waited for Zhao Gao to finish delivering, and immediately asked, "Did you personally interrogate these confessions? Mr. Zhao also arrested the person himself."
Zhao Gao did not understand the laws of Qin and said proudly, "Of course!"
Meng Tian looked at Zhao Gao with a smile and said righteously, "Then I would like to congratulate Mr. Zhao. Your Majesty, I would like to submit a copy of the Zhongche Mansion Order to Zhao Gao and ask Your Majesty to give him the death penalty."
Zhao Gao didn't expect Meng Tian to say that, so he frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't understand this very well. I also followed your Majesty's order to arrest people for interrogation. I can't tell you why I am guilty."
Meng Tian glanced at Zhao Gao with disdain, and said word for word, "Zhao Gao, as the official of the CRRC, you are changing your official position. The eunuchs of the Qin Dynasty are not allowed to interfere in political affairs. Zhao Gao has to be punished. Your Majesty is kind.
I only want to let you go so that you can't interfere in affairs outside the palace. However, you, Zhao Gao, took advantage of the fact that my son Fusu and I were not in Xianyang and were in the main hall when no one dared to oppose him.
His power intervened in affairs outside the palace, killing innocent people indiscriminately, and causing uproar throughout the city, making everyone in the world think that the second Lao Ai had come again."
Zhao Gao also thought about the incident at that time and knew that it was Qin Shihuang's taboo, so he hurriedly said, "What evidence do you have? I just acted according to His Majesty's orders."
Meng Tian said word for word, "Zhao Gao's crime, according to the law, is to be quartered on five horses!"
Qin Shihuang saw that Zhao Gao could not defeat Meng Tian, so he looked at Li Si. He wanted to balance. If Zhao Gao was too weak, he would reconsider. He asked in a deep voice, "Prime Minister, according to the law
How is it stipulated?”
Li Si glanced at Zhao Gao. He knew that a voice in the court today was a bit taboo, so he pretended to be helpless and said, "Your Majesty, the law does stipulate this, but this situation is different..."
Meng Tian was waiting for Li Si's words, and he immediately said, "It seems that the Prime Minister knew that Zhao Gao violated the law, but you just didn't say anything. Just turning a blind eye like that, isn't that harmful to the country of Da Qin?"
Sheji, are you turning a blind eye too?"
Li Si was a little dissatisfied. He was ready to take a step back, but Meng Tian actually held on to him. He glared at Meng Tian and said, "General, how can you say that?"
Meng Tian did not look at Li Si. He said very dissatisfiedly, "Your Majesty, I not only want to participate in the Zhongche Mansion Order, but also Li Si, as well as the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. They all know that the Zhongche Mansion Order violates the law, but they all
Being afraid of Zhao Gao's power, knowing it well but not saying anything, and allowing a eunuch to cause chaos is a crime of forming a clique for personal gain and deceiving the emperor."
