Caiwei left the tavern as if running away, leaving the three of them looking at each other.

"This girl Caiwei is a little weird today." Ziying wrapped her royal robe tightly and murmured.

Lingfen was also confused, "Don't worry, King Qin. Caiwei must have something she wants to do, so just let her go."

The three of them arrived at Ziying's study. It was getting dark. Lu Jia had been waiting at the door for a long time after settling down Zhang Liang.

Lu Jia and Ziying sat on their knees and read the laws of the Qin Dynasty together, while Lingfen was holding a piece of Hetian jade next to another table and carving the jade seal of the country.

Da Qin's laws were too strict, and the more Ziying read them, the more frightened he became.

Lu Jia carefully studied the laws of the Qin Dynasty for the first time and was amazed. "If the soldiers guarding the city escape, their wives and children will be confiscated as slaves. If you steal mulberry leaves from other people's homes, you will be punished with three months of hard labor."

Ziying smiled bitterly, who made the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty Li Si? Li Si was Xunzi's disciple. Xunzi believed that people are born evil, so Li Si believed that people who do not use strict laws and strict persuasion will inevitably become evil people. The result is counterproductive. People who make small mistakes are severely punished.

, unwilling to take revenge, those who made big mistakes directly rebelled.

It is precisely because of the existence of harsh rule that Liu Bang's "Three Chapters of Agreement" when he entered Xianyang easily won people's hearts.

"There is also a method of continuous sitting. If one person makes a mistake, five people will be punished, and even the whole village can be punished." Lu Jia couldn't bear to read any more.

Ziying's head is also big. Liu Bang's intention in making the three chapters of the law is to temporarily stabilize Xianyang. As the king of Qin, abolishing the tyranny is equivalent to changing all the laws. However, the laws of the Qin Dynasty are quite systematic.

"Jin Bu Lv", "Placement of Officials", "Cang Lv", "Tian Lv" and other divisions are so clear and detailed that Ziying and Lu Jia couldn't finish them even if they revised them for five days and five nights.

The two people, who were originally excited, were at a loss for a while.

"It would be great if it was Han Feizi's law. The constitution is in the government, and the rewards and punishments must be in the hearts of the people. The current situation would not have happened." Ziying rubbed his head and sighed.

Lingfen can carve fake jade seals with ease.

"Didn't King Qin have a dream about a thousand years in the future? Why not replace the laws of Qin with the laws in the dream?" Ling Fen kindly reminded.

"No need." Ziying quickly refused.

If the whole law is copied from a thousand years later, it will tire him to death, and copying it will also make the people of Qin feel that the law is redundant and that it is best to adapt to the current conditions.

"Why don't you let Mr. Zifang help King Qin share his worries?" Lu Jia said, "Mr. Zifang will not refuse this kind of thing that benefits the people."

Ziying secretly thought about it, Zhang Liang could propose three chapters of the covenant, and it was after the Prime Minister of Han. It was indeed a small matter for him to change the law, but these laws were enough to tire Zhang Liang half to death.

"There is no other way at the moment." Ziying nodded, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Lu Jia to run an extra mile."

"No need, I'm already here." Zhang Liang was already standing outside the study door.

Lu Jia was overjoyed and stood up to help Zhang Liang open the door, "Mr. Zifang is really good at predicting events. He knows that King Qin is having trouble reforming the law at this moment."

"It was the Qin State's lieutenant and general who captured it and brought it down to the King of Qin." Zhang Liang's face was expressionless, vaguely dissatisfied with Ziying.

"Langzhong Cavalry General? Lu Matong?" Ziying was puzzled.

"I'm here!" Lu Matong knelt outside the door with a proud look on his face, with ten scrolls of bamboo slips beside him, "I have finished carving the "Xiangma Jing", please check it with the king."

Ziying frowned. In less than one afternoon, Lu Matong could finish carving the "Xiangma Sutra" ten times? There must be something fishy about it.

"Mr. Zifang, what's going on?" Lu Jia asked.

Zhang Liang spoke slowly, "The king of Qin's lieutenant general ran to the inn and hired me to help him carve the "Xiangma Sutra". After carving, not only did he not give me a commission, but he treated me as a spy of Pei Gong who had sneaked into Xianyang, and dedicated it to the king of Qin to claim credit."

Please reward me. He is so good at calculating, he is indeed King Qin’s favorite general."

"Your Majesty, don't listen to the nonsense of this spy. These are all carved by my own hands." Lu Matong said confidently, "I saw this spy in the Chu camp yesterday. He clearly wanted to frame me before he died."

Han Tan unknowingly came behind Lu Matong. Lu Jia looked at Lu Matong sympathetically and said, "Mr. Lang, please wish yourself a lot of luck today."

"Mr. Lu, what do you mean?" Lu Matong was a little confused.

"Please Han Aiqing, please take him down and personally supervise him to carve it twenty times." Ziying said angrily.

"I accept your order." Han Tan grabbed Lu Matong's collar and dragged him back.

"This is really carved by me. I am wronged!" Lu Matong defended.

"Thirty times!"

Lu Matong didn't dare to quibble anymore, and followed Han Tan away with his head hanging down.

"The King of Qin is really kind. If such a subordinate who deceives the emperor is only punished so lightly, is he not afraid that he will dare to lie about military information in the future?" Zhang Liang asked.

"After this punishment, he will never dare to do it again. Learning a lesson is the goal, not punishment." Ziying said seriously.

Zhang Liang was surprised that Zi Ying could say such a thing, "The Qin State has always regarded legal strictness as its foundation since Shang Yang. Does the King of Qin want to change the ancestral precepts?"

"If the ancestral precepts are wrong, they cannot be corrected. If I want to change to Han Feizi's method, please do me a favor, sir." Ziying pleaded, "Even if you don't help me, you must help the people of Xianyang."

"Mr. Zifang doesn't want to see the people of Xianyang being imprisoned by harsh laws, right?" Lu Jia stepped forward to persuade him, although he knew that Zhang Liang would definitely help.

"I can't help you." Zhang Liang said softly.

"Why?" Ziying was annoyed, "Is it because I am the King of Qin? Or is it because Mr. Zifang hates my conspiracy?"

"Because I'm tired of engraving." Zhang Liang waved his right hand lightly, "The King of Qin must give me some pen and ink, right?"

Ziying secretly lamented that he didn't like his king, but he loved his people. This is what makes Zhang Liang far beyond comparison with other counselors.
