Chapter 165 Please help Mr. Changan clear up his doubts
"I know."
Ying Chengyu paused for a moment, not because he was thinking about whether to continue scolding Wei Liao, but because he was thinking about whether to kill Wei Liao at night.
People who have been with Ying Chenglong for a long time will have some shadow of Ying Chenglong in them.
Such as the unruliness in Gai Nie.
It's like a knife on Jing Ke's mouth.
Jing Ke often put the man with the sword in his mouth because he always saw Ying Cheng as the man with the sword.
Turning his head and smiling at Li Si, Ying Chengyu led Li Si to the stone table in the courtyard, stretched out his hand to invite Li Si to sit down.
The two of them were sitting next to each other. Ying Chengxuan rested his chin on one hand and said, "Mr. Zuo, please speak."
"His Majesty and Wei Liao rode the royal chariot, and the reward given to Wei Liao must be related to the policy of the court today. After retreating from the court today, Si and Wei Liao had a dispute..."
After telling Ying Chengyu what happened to Wei Liao after he retired from the court, Li Si thought about what Wei Liao had just done and continued to analyze.
"After Wei Liao separated from me, it seems that he went to find His Majesty alone, otherwise he would not be able to explain the Si Ma King's chariot."
"Speaking of which, I have a question. Does Mr. Zuo know that forcibly relocating the remnants of the nobles will make the families of the princes in the court grow bigger in the local area?"
Although Ying Chengyu said these words with a smile, his words were full of smiles, without anger or murderous intent.
But Li Si, whose words were interrupted, felt a chill rising from his heart, which soon made his whole body feel cold.
In the Xuannio Hall, when Ying Chengyu said that he would push Chunyu Yue out and chop him, he was also full of smiles.
"Chang'an Jun Mingjian, the whole family of Si is in Xianyang and has not gone to the fiefdom."
Li Si made it clear that even if the local power grew bigger, he, Li Si, would not gain much benefit and would remove the interest groups as quickly as possible.
"Eh, why? The emperor gave you a fiefdom, and your family should return to the fiefdom to show off their power and let the remnants of the Six Kingdoms see Qin Feng. Why did the left prime minister let all the family stay in Xianyang? Does he think that the emperor's decision was inappropriate?"
Li Si was sweating coldly. Looking at Ying Chengyu's curious eyes, he felt that there was an abyss that would swallow him up in the next second.
He instinctively wanted to use the court's rhetoric to deal with Ying Chengyu. This was the court's rule.
But as he spoke, Li Si looked at the stone table and changed his mind.
Prime Minister Zuo of the Great Qin Dynasty thought about how he was pressed on the stone table by Ying Chengyu and almost died. Finally, he expressed his true feelings and said that he had to become prime minister to survive the disaster.
Si should tell the truth in front of Lord Chang'an.
"It is very clear that Your Majesty does not implement the system of prefectures and counties, but implements the parallel system of prefectures and states, and extends the grace order. This is because the remnants of the nobles of the six countries in various places are getting bigger. At this time, the rule of prefectures and counties in the world will make the world unstable."
"Your Majesty's enfeoffment is a helpless move. In this case, I will not be granted a fief, so your Majesty should pay more attention to me."
Ying Chengyu understood and nodded, looking like he suddenly understood.
"So that's it."
"Mr. Chang'an asked me earlier if I knew the consequences of forcibly moving the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. I know that. But this strategy is actually your Majesty's idea, and your Majesty must also be aware of the disadvantages of this strategy. Since your Majesty knows this, you still want to tell me about this strategy.
Just obey."
"The imperial brother has to approve one stone memorial every day. There are all kinds of things, big and small, in this place. Do you think there is a possibility that the emperor's energy is limited and he didn't think about the disadvantages of forcibly moving the nobles?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
Li Si's expression was firm and his words were extremely determined.
"How could your Majesty not know something so obvious?"
Ying Chengyu stared at Li Si, who only had words and no body movements. He felt that if Li Si had just waved his hands and said it was impossible, the scene would have been complete.
Looking at Li Si's naturally rigid face, Ying Chengyu couldn't tell for a moment whether Li Si's words came from his heart or if he was acting in front of him.
"Whether you have such trust in Brother Huang is sincere or false, Brother Huang doesn't care. He just wants you to work seriously. But I care. You almost caused a big trouble for me."
If Ying Chengyu does not go to court today, then if these two policies are implemented, there will be chaos in various places for a period of time as the remnants of the Six Kingdoms leave.
Moreover, after the ban on copper and iron, the people's power will fall off a cliff - if the productivity cannot be improved, Qin will be stuck in its own way.
Human beings have grown from raw hair and blood into slave society, then into feudal society, and then into modern society. The most important thing in these stages of progress is the improvement of productivity.
The thing that best reflects productivity is food.
For example, suppose that during the Qin Dynasty, the grain production capacity could only ensure enough food for 20 million people.
Taking into account miscellaneous food such as wild beasts in the mountains and forests, fishing and fishing, the total population of the Qin Dynasty could not exceed 25 million.
After the copper and iron were taken away and there were no tools for farming, food production would inevitably drop significantly.
When people are hungry and their lives are not guaranteed, they will not have the brains to think about other things.
Unless Ying Chengxuan rebels and overthrows the Qin Dynasty, even if he has great power, he will not be able to make society progress.
"I told you, don't make random assumptions when communicating with the Emperor. The more you think about it, the more counterproductive it will be. If you have any objections to the Emperor's policies, just ask them directly and don't speculate on the emperor's intentions. Li Si, speak more frankly to the Emperor.
Don’t cause trouble for me, you know.”
"...I know."
Ying Chengyu nodded with satisfaction, but suddenly thought of Gai Nie stabbing him in the back in Xianyang Palace today, and his expression turned cold.
"Of course, you must also be careful and don't be too direct. If you are a step and a half behind when walking with the emperor, don't overstep."
Ying Chengyu's expression changed very quickly, without any stagnation.
One second he was smiling warmly, and the next second his face was as frosty as ice.
This made Li Si, who was already cautious, feel nervous.
Lord Chang'an is moody, and he can kill people or talk about his feelings while talking and laughing.
Following Lord Chang'an is much more dangerous than following His Majesty.
"How dare you do this!"
"I'm just reminding you, don't take it too seriously. If you insist on staying with me now, I'll have a few more words with you."
Ying Chengyu saw Li Si's fear, his expression softened, and he said with relief.
But he didn't expect that this change in expression would make Li Si even more frightened.
Now Ying Chengyu is synonymous with the emperor's mind in Li Si's heart.
What Mr. Chang'an said is telling me that if anything like this happens again in the future, I will report it to Mr. Chang'an.
Li Si listened to the string sounds and thought about the elegant meaning, and said with a more serious attitude than before: "I know it!"
I asked you to say a few more words, why are you so serious?
If Ying Chengyu knew that his conversation with Li Si today would cause him to have Li Si step on the threshold of Chang'an Jun's Mansion in the future.
Li Si will give him a small report for three days and a big report for ten days. He will tell him all the state affairs. Li Si will not be invited in today.
"Let's talk about our Imperial Lieutenant. You did not obtain comprehensive information and made a mistake in your judgment. I told the emperor brother about the disaster of forcibly relocating the nobles, and the emperor brother took it seriously."
"The royal carriage is not a reward from the imperial brother to Wei Liao, but to tell him to get out as soon as possible. I will add this information to you, and you can tell me what Wei Liao is doing today."
If the known information is wrong and contrary to the correct information, the results will be completely different.
Li Si smiled bitterly and did not intend to reveal his wrong conjecture.
He raised his hands and said sincerely: "Mr. Chang'an, please stop making fun of Si. Si is just sitting at the bottom of the well, thinking that the sky is a frog the size of the wellhead. Please Chang'an Jun, please clear Si's doubts."
