"Hey, Your Majesty, I am loyal and all my thoughts are for you. They are bullying me!"
Zhao Gao kept wiping his eyes with his sleeve, and soon the corner of the sleeve was wet. When Hu Hai saw this, he sighed: "You have followed me since I was a prince. Can I still not believe you? It's just... alas,
You also know that there were many ministers in the court who opposed my succession. Although my father killed a lot of them, but now without my father's suppression, these ministers still do not take me seriously. Li Si is a veteran of two dynasties, and I am also very
It’s so embarrassing!”
Zhao Gao heard this and said very considerately: "It's nothing for me to feel a little wronged, but if Li Si continues like this, the country will definitely be in chaos! Banning brothels? This is not a violation of the ancestral system, it is a violation of human ethics! The country will be in chaos!
ah!"
Hu Hai patted Zhao Gao comfortingly, "I also know that there is a problem, but the prime minister has a high position... Forget it, let's leave it like this for the time being. When something happens later, all the ministers will naturally object, and then I will put things right.
"
"Alas! That's the only way it can be, but His Majesty takes the blame. This Li Si is really not a son of a man!"
On one side, Zhao Gao is looking for Hu Hai to act coquettishly. On the other side, Li Di Renjie, Bao Zheng, and several officials from the Sixth Ministry gathered together for a walk out of the palace. To outsiders, it looked like a small group, but if you heard their conversation, you would know that this gang
People are confused now!
"Prime Minister, does the banning of brothels have too great an impact and is inconsistent with etiquette? If nothing else, how can the female relatives of criminals be brought into the Jiaofangsi in the future?" the Minister of Punishment asked in a low voice, holding his neck.
"That's all a trivial matter. I'm afraid that in a few days, a large number of literati will come and accuse me of being a vegetarian." The new Minister of Rites said bitterly. If he had been the previous Minister, he would have strongly recommended that Hu Hai take back his life.
The corner of Li Si's mouth twitched, "I don't want to either, but as you know, Princess Yinman said before that Zhao Gao was one of the culprits of the destruction of the Qin Dynasty in the next world, and he was a traitorous minister. Moreover, Your Majesty has also tested it before.
As long as the suggestions he put forward are reversed, they will have very good results. Isn't it the same way that Your Majesty defeated Fusu?"
Bao Zheng shook his head and sighed: "Honestly, this is the first time I have denied a point of view without asking the reason, and I feel really depressed."
Di Renjie then continued: "Who is not? However, according to our focused surveillance and investigation, this Zhao Gao is actually a descendant of the Zhao royal family. He came to Da Qin to secretly overthrow Da Qin. In this case, it is not unreasonable to go against him.
It is said that after all, it is difficult to explain things like fate clearly!"
Li Si also agreed: "Lu Xiaofeng had been secretly observing him for two years before finding evidence of his collusion with the resistance forces during an opportunity to go out to the palace to make purchases. After two years, Zhao Gao has been so forbearing, which is admirable."
"Speaking of the resistance forces, it seems that after the death of Emperor Qin, they have become much more active than before. Do you want to..." the Minister of Punishment suddenly asked.
Li Si waved his hand and said, "Just keep a close eye on Zhao Gao. His Majesty is very interested in Zhao Gao. If he is eliminated, it will make Zhao Gao suspicious. What's more, these resistance forces are mainly dominated by the Xiang family, and they only gather some people from the destroyed country."
What can those remnants of the royal family do? As long as we let the people live and work in peace and contentment, no one will respond to their call."
The Minister of Household Affairs said: "But Xiang Yu of the Xiang clan was one of the key figures who overthrew the rule of Qin in the world next door. Would it be wrong to just let it go..."
List paused and seemed to be a little moved. They could find Zhao Gao's fault based on the exile's description. Naturally, they believed in the so-called fate. But then he shook his head again, "This is the previous order of Emperor Qin, saying
This feather talent is extremely high, and he is likely to become a key figure in protecting the human race in the future. Don’t touch him unless you have no choice!”
"..."
Everyone looked a little awkward. Naturally, no one would question Emperor Qin's ambition. But if Emperor Qin could have the confidence to control the world, could Hu Hai do it?
…
"You're back! What happened to Hu Hai again? I'm going to put you in a difficult situation."
Zuo Zhou leaned on the porch and looked at Di Renjie with interest. The latter turned away angrily, "He is also the new emperor after all, so you can't...forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you...you are an exile, let's talk about it,
Is this measure to ban brothels correct?"
"Huh? Ban the brothels!" Zuo Zhou straightened his crooked body, "What does Hu Hai mean? Impossible. How can that idiot even think of such a step?"
Di Renjie was a little surprised when he saw Zuo Zhou acting like this, so he told Zuo Zhou the cause and effect.
"So, the entire court is cooperating with Hu Hai to play Zhao Gao? This Zhao Gao is Hu Hai's sleeping dragon and phoenix chick!"
Zuo Zhou almost laughed. Is this a reverse use of fate?
"By the way, if this goes on for a long time, won't you be discovered?"
Di Renjie hummed: "Do you think this is easy? First of all, Zhao Gao must not be able to contact any exiles, otherwise he will know his role in the world next door. He must also establish a powerful and hostile figure to let Zhao Gao know his role in the world next door.
He feels that he is still favored by His Majesty but looked down upon by the ministers."
"So Prime Minister Li Si is pretending to be a villain?" Zuo Zhou said cheerfully, in the rhythm of all the best actors in the Qin Dynasty.
Di Renjie nodded and said with a smile: "Maybe at some point your Majesty will take the position of prime minister just to trick Zhao Gao. At that time, I don't know whether it will be me or Bao Zheng who will fill the vacancy?"
"I guess it's you."
"???"
"You were prime minister in the history next door."
"Oh...no, I'm asking you what do you think about this?"
Zuo Zhou shrugged, "The brothel thing has been going on for thousands of years, but... if it has always existed, does it have to be right? This is a good thing that requires great courage and wisdom to accomplish, and it is the real liberation of women.
Feat." In the era he lived in, there were still many countries where pornography was legal, so I wonder why boxers didn't box?
Di Renjie looked at him strangely, "I didn't expect that a lecherous guy like you would approve of this."
"Who are you looking down on? Although I am lustful, I have never forced anyone, only been forced by others!" Zuo Zhou crossed his arms and was a little angry, but he actually looked down on me?
"But isn't this a matter of mutual consent? Didn't Emperor Qin give an order to put an end to human trafficking before..."
Zuo Zhou shook his head, "Old Di, this is the limitation of the times. It's not surprising that you can't understand it. Uh, that Yuyan, come here."
Zuo Zhou said and waved, and called Jiang Yuyan, who was walking with Jiang Yufeng from the long corridor in the distance.
"What are your orders, sir?" Jiang Yuyan was still as weak and obedient as before. Jiang Yufeng followed beside her for fear that this sister would offend the two adults.
"Let me ask you, when you entered a brothel by mistake, even though you were not free, you lived a luxurious life wearing gold and silver. Why did you still run away?"
Jiang Yuyan was stunned and looked at everyone. She really couldn't understand what was going on.
"You can say whatever you want, I won't sell you." Zuo Zhou rolled his eyes, and as soon as he saw this girl, he started thinking wildly again.
"Ugh, no dignity! No freedom!"
Zuo Zhou clapped his hands and said happily: "You heard it, an outlaw maniac once said that the more happiness that reflects human dignity, the more it is the highest level of happiness! Human nature is not evil, but you must admit that there are always bad people in the world.
When there is a situation in an industry that exploits dignity and can make a profit, then someone will definitely do it, even if it violates the law. If this situation only accounts for a small part of the industry, we can still correct the chaos and provide correct guidance.
.But if most of such an industry is like this, then there is no need to save it, and banning it is the most correct decision! Let me tell you, not only brothels, but gambling houses should also be eliminated!"
Di Renjie was shocked and felt that his outlook on life had been greatly impacted. He originally thought that Li Si's decision to ban brothels was too drastic, but in the end, you didn't even let gambling houses go.
However, in a blink of an eye, Di Renjie saw the Jiang sisters, whose eyes were full of little stars. They looked at Zuo Zhou with admiration in their eyes. At this moment, Di Renjie seemed to understand. It seemed that there was no need to worry. If the court ministers disagreed,
Then their wives and daughters will also let them agree!
After all, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and the wives and daughters of those ministers don't want to see the day when they are appointed to the Jiaofang Division.
"Well, I will go to court tomorrow to refute what you said and tell all the ministers what you said. Do you want to stay and listen to the reaction?"
"Farewell, there will be too many things happening in the imperial capital once Emperor Qin leaves. I have to leave quickly, otherwise I may not be able to leave if I delay any longer!"
Di Renjie felt a little pity, "Okay, then I won't send it to you tomorrow."
"It's up to you!" Zuo Zhou waved his hand and turned back to his house.
Di Renjie smiled and shook his head and left. Jiang Yufeng was about to leave but was pulled back by Jiang Yuyan, "Sister, I... I want to go with Mr. Li!"
Jiang Yufeng was slightly startled. Looking at Jiang Yuyan's firm eyes, she was a little touched. "Sister, please think about it. Mr. Li already has three confidantes, and our backgrounds are probably..."
"Sister, the purpose of my coming here is to please Mr. Li on my father's orders. Besides, it doesn't matter if you have a good family background. You see, Qingping is a princess, but in the end she didn't get what she wanted. It shows that status is actually a very frivolous thing.
something.”
Jiang Yufeng asked curiously: "Then what do you want?"
"Only power and strength can prevent us from being threatened by others. It's just that I don't have the power to control the chicken. So there is no need to think about strength. I can only take the path of power. But... my sister is not as smart as my sister and cannot take the imperial examination.
.But I can start with the envoys. I checked. Zhan Zhao and Zhan Hongling are both guards. They are strong in martial arts but not suitable for handling various chores. This is what I am good at. The envoys need someone to handle mundane affairs.
Man, why can't it be me? Use this as a springboard to enter the officialdom and become a female official with my sister!"
Jiang Yuyan's eyes were full of longing for the future, but Jiang Yufeng secretly smiled bitterly. How could a female official in charge of secular affairs have great development and power? Forget it, just let her, and work hard in the future.
He established a firm foothold in the court and protected this innocent sister.
"Okay, I'm going to ask Mr. Di to let you join the mission, but don't be willful. Listen to Mr. Li in everything, and don't cause trouble for the adults."
"Thank you sister!"
Jiang Yuyan happily pulled her sister's sleeve, like a happy little rabbit.
