Speaking of this Xinzhi area, it is a good place that I haven't seen for a long time. Although this place cannot be compared with Daqin, the terrain there is good.
The mountains overlap and there is peace on all sides.
The beautiful scenery of the distant mountains also makes it a tourist destination. The most famous buildings there are the Four Seasons Spring and the Ice Bridge, both of which are well-known and have a long history.
Among them, Xinzhi also has various ethnic groups mixed together, and it can be regarded as a multi-ethnic and multi-regional country.
The new king was considered to be a very good ruler. He was also considered the most authentic and awe-inspiring among the many royal families.
But it was a bit too much to occupy his place without making a sound. Zhao Xin couldn't stand it, but the governor of this border was pretending to be blind.
Zhao Xin couldn't bear it either, so he sent troops to suppress it.
Just before the imperial cavalry was about to declare war, the governor still looked very tough.
"We have the new government here to protect us, what should I be afraid of?"
He even supported his new emperor so much that he didn't even glance at the cavalrymen from beginning to end, thinking he didn't dare to start a war. Hearing this arrogant and annoying voice was really annoying.
The leading general of Xinzhi also realized something. Although their territory was small and exquisite, they did not dare to rashly provoke a big country.
After all, each of these generals is smart and not good at taking the initiative to provoke, and this time it was effortless to capture the territory. The main reason was to see the attitude of the Emperor of Qin. Everything depends on the attitude of the Emperor of Qin. Acting rashly will only backfire.
As for the prefect, he was also chosen by his generals to take the blame. As long as they instilled good ideas in him and manipulated him to be loyal to the new ruler, not to mention not helping the Qin Emperor to report the news, it was possible that he would even declare rebellion in public.
If we were to fight a life-and-death battle with the Qin State, we would have to trap the entire Xinzhi in the city and exhaust them with food and energy.
Therefore, there was no need for the generals of Xinzhi to find themselves in such an unpleasant situation. Besides, if they really provoked them now, wouldn't they be directly defeated?
They had also heard that the Emperor of Qin and the Crown Prince of Wu were quite familiar with each other. They were basically childhood playmates, old acquaintances, and the like. If Qin was bullied, they would not be able to sit idly by. If they were really provoked, they would become the first country in history to be defeated and destroyed.
So they rolled their eyes and withdrew their troops. In the end, they made a joke, left some tributes, and then quietly withdrew.
Fortunately, Xinzhi and his people were smart enough not to raise their own flag in advance, otherwise they would have been unable to explain themselves even if ten mouths were opened.
So they left quietly, leaving the prefect standing there, not knowing whether to stand or sit.
The Iron Cavalry commander, Bai Qi, simply gave a warning to his subordinate, who had been with Bai Qi for several months.
So he guessed every expression of Bai Qi accurately, and sent people to capture the prefect and bring him back like a chick, and then took him directly to the Ministry of Punishment to await punishment.
After all, the crime of treason is no small matter.
It doesn't matter if he rebelled, he could just admit his mistake and help as a volunteer for a few years, and Zhao Xin would still generously spare his life. But who was he pretending to be so awesome for?
Zhao Xin is not a soft persimmon. He won't let anyone bully him.
So, as soon as he entered the palace, and before he even entered the Ministry of Punishment, Zhao Xin sent him to stand on a small island in the middle of the freezing lake, intending to freeze him for three to five days.
That lake is an artificial lake that has been excavated. It is neither deep nor shallow, at least one meter deep. The water is crystal clear and you can see fish swimming in it. The quiet weather is a little damp and cold, and there is also a bone-chilling wind.
The biting cold wind was more painful than torture.
In the end, not only were my limbs paralyzed from the cold, but my hands also developed disgusting-looking frostbite, which spread upwards. The birds that flew over from spring to winter would even peck at the meat for a few bites.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I only wish to die as an apology!"
Zhao Xin was walking past the small pond at this time, and heard the slightly small voice. To be honest, no one around him could hear clearly what he said, but Zhao Xin had good ears and could hear this kind of sound accurately.
But Zhao Xin didn't intend to pay attention.
He had indeed said that he really didn't want to see anyone betray him again. He thought that giving all the grain to these governors would make them behave themselves and save Zhao Xin some worries. Unexpectedly, this not only did not make him less worried, but it made things worse, and his attitude became even more rampant.
In the end, he even wanted to curry favor with Xinzhi and give Wuling County to Xinzhi. Did he really think that the emperor of Qin was half dead or that he still thought that all the people in the court were fools? Now he can't even do this?
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know I was wrong."
Zhao Xin ignored him and instead picked up a stone on the ground and threw it over.
Thanks to the effect of the fly-swatting technique, the small stone was thrown accurately at the face of the governor Guan. Since the stone was really sharp, the governor grimaced in pain.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am willing to donate all my property to Your Majesty to fill the national treasury, as well as my wife who is as beautiful as Xi Shi..."
By the end of this, the governor finally realized that something was wrong.
"You mean, let me play with the rest of your things?"
The border governor was actually breaking out in a cold sweat in this freezing weather, his expression frozen, and he couldn't even speak. He was probably frightened, but honestly, it was probably because he'd been frozen in this environment for so long that his physical abilities had significantly deteriorated.
"Your Majesty, I, your servant, am terrified!"
Hearing this, it seems like a good guy is letting Zhao Xin play with the rest of the border governor. Besides, this governor looks old and cunning. It is obvious that he is a fence-sitter. To be honest, Zhao Xin is not confident in himself because of this fence-sitter.
"So, is what you just said about returning the money to the national treasury true? If you are playing tricks on me, I will make you bring your head before me, understand?"
The governor over there gritted his teeth and nodded.
What is there to be afraid of? As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no fear of running out of firewood. No matter how ferocious this group of people is, as long as he leaves the capital area and runs to his own territory, these people will not be able to do anything to him.
But... Zhao Xin shook his body and walked directly to the lake. The two looked at each other in silence.
Then, the governor Guan smiled as if he suddenly understood Zhao Xin's thoughts, and responded with a look of great joy and familiarity.
"Your Majesty, if possible, please release me..."
Zhao Xin turned around and said something very cruel.
"You farted."
