"Your Majesty, I have an audience with you, Lord Chang'an."
Ying Zheng wears a crown facing the sky and a black black bird crown.
His eyes were like those of an eagle and his face was as powerful as a dragon. He was sitting behind the papers, flipping through the bamboo slips.
Among the entire Chinese emperors, the First Emperor was the top three workaholic.
He set a rule for himself that the number of memorials processed per day should not be less than one stone.
Even one eunuch couldn't carry the one-stone memorial, so two eunuchs would carry the burden to the First Emperor each time.
"Let him in."
A few moments.
Before Ying Chengwen arrived, his voice came first: "Why did you bring my eldest nephew to the county?"
Ying Zheng dismissed the eunuchs and maids in the palace, and even the historian who was always with him and was responsible for recording was cleared out.
He put down his brush, closed the bamboo slips, and glanced at Ying Chengyu: "Since when did you care about the affairs of the court?"
If the officials of Great Qin were here, their eyes would definitely pop out when they saw this scene.
The two prime ministers who had made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty politely persuaded each other and were fined one year's salary.
It can be called the shame of the Qin Dynasty. Ying Chengyu, who had not made any achievements in the Qin Dynasty, questioned Ying Zheng.
Nothing happened?
Ying Zheng didn't even show signs of being angry.
There is no other such holy grace in the entire Qin Dynasty.
Neither Meng Tian, who is the most favored, nor Li Si, who is the most trusted, can do it.
Not even close!
"Brother Huang is here, so I am too lazy to take care of the affairs of the court. I just can't bear to leave Fusu. Why did he offend Brother Huang? There is no overnight feud between father and son. Brother Huang, you should be more open-minded!"
Ying Chengyu's previous words were just a question, but now his words can be called a warning.
Ying Zheng glared at Ying Chengyu, but anyone else would have lowered his head and confessed his guilt.
Impressed by the majesty of the First Emperor, being able to speak something is a sign of strong psychological quality.
The First Emperor is also known as a tyrant!
Ying Chengyu was not afraid at all.
He slapped the table, opened his eyes wide, and glared at Ying Zheng!
The two held each other for a moment.
Seeing that Ying Chengyu could not be frightened, Ying Zheng looked away.
"Go on! Brother Huang, if you can't beat me, let Fusu stay in Xianyang!"
"I can't glare at you?" Ying Zheng sneered, patted the bamboo slip in front of him, which was taller than the others, and said: "I'm not like you. I'm just a free man. With so many memorials, I don't have that much time to play around with you!"
Ying Zheng opened a bamboo slip and picked up the brush again: "There are other reasons for sending Fusu to Shangjun. I tell you, you don't understand."
Ying Chengyu spread his fingers and held down the bamboo slip: "What don't you understand? Doesn't the emperor just want Fusu to go to the army to train?"
Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed, and the brush fell on the bamboo slip, leaving an ink dot, which was very conspicuous.
"Cheng Yu, who told you?"
"Does anyone else need to tell me this? If Fusu is too benevolent, he may be able to be a prime minister, but if he is not an emperor, he will easily be bullied by his ministers. Kindness cannot control the army, and fighting on the battlefield is the most cruel thing to people's hearts. Now that the world is unified, large-scale battles can only be carried out
There are some in the border areas, such as Shangjun."
Ying Zheng's eyes widened after listening to Ying Chengxuan's analysis. His thoughts were not necessarily visible to the civil and military officials of the court, but could his younger brother, who had ignored the government for ten years, notice it?
This is definitely a case of using one's own words to express the opinions of others.
"What else did that person say to you?"
Ying Chengyu did not object.
He can't say, "Brother, your thoughts will be known to everyone in future generations who know something about Qin history."
"The imperial brother sent his beloved general Meng Tian to go with Fusu, which not only ensured Fusu's safety, but also allowed the two of them to share weal and woe. Meng Tian is the third generation leader of the Meng family. If Fu Su has the support of Meng Tian, he has the support of the Meng family. And the Meng family
There is no need to elaborate on your status in the Qin army. If you have the support of the Meng family, you have the support of half of the Qin army!"
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this. This was exactly what he was thinking.
"Any more?"
"Yes! The great thing about the Emperor's brother is that he picked a good time. The world has just been unified and it is the time to establish the crown prince. The Emperor's brother assigned Fusu at this time and clearly told the ministers that Fusu would not be the crown prince. In this way, Fusu
Not only do you get exercise, but you can also ensure safety.”
Ying Chengyu paused, smiled, and continued: "Of course, the emperor is also giving other nephews opportunities. The emperor also wants to see if any of the other nephews can stand out without Fusu's suppression."
"color!"
Ying Zheng shouted loudly.
What Ying Chengyu said was exactly what Ying Zheng was thinking.
If it were anyone else in power, they would feel that they have been seen through and have murderous intentions.
Ying Zheng won't.
He is confident that he can control the world's talents, and his respect for talents is rare throughout history. This can be traced in history.
Qin's Shangqing was weak. Before joining Qin as an official, he cursed the Qin King for his unyielding government, which had not yet unified the six kingdoms.
"King Qin, you have so much power and don't want to unify the six kingdoms, so you just imprison your mother. I don't think you act like a king at all!"
Although Ying Zheng was angry after hearing this, he did not kill anyone on the spot. Instead, he asked Dun Ruo to talk about how to unify the six countries.
After Dunruo told his story, he decided that Dunruo was a man of great talent. Not only did he not kill Dunruo, he also worshiped him as a high minister.
"I have insight into my heart. I am really a very good person. I am willing to join the Qin Dynasty as an official. I want to worship you as a high minister!"
Ying Chengyu tapped his chest twice and said with a smile: "It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of you."
Ying Zheng frowned and said sternly: "Stop messing around, don't leave your talents to others, come here quickly!"
Ying Chengyu looked indifferent. Sometimes, people just don't believe him when he tells the truth.
"Okay, it's really not me, it's one of my retainers."
Ying Zheng thought that Ying Chengqiu was asking for a reward from him by not naming his guests.
"Hurry up and tell me, thanks to your recommendation, I will ask you to go to the Sixth Prince's Palace to pick two beauties and bring them back to your home."
The Six Palaces that Ying Zheng mentioned were fake.
Every time the Qin State captured a capital city, Ying Zheng would carve out the palaces of the conquered kingdom one by one and take in all the concubines and princesses in the harem of the conquered kingdom.
Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, and now there are six royal palaces in Xianyang.
In the Sixth Prince's Palace, there are so many beauties!
Ying Chengyu felt a little moved.
The Sixth Palace is said to attract beauties from all over the world, but I haven’t been inside it yet.
It's a pity that these words are really not said by my disciples, but by me...
"Five."
Ying Chengyu thought seriously, should he find a random retainer to fool him? He would get the beauty, and the retainer would get the fame, the best of both worlds.
"No matter how many beauties you give me, it won't work. My client doesn't want to be an official. I can't force him to do anything!"
This is what Ying Zhengxin said.
Except for the people of Qin, everyone in the world calls him a tyrant, not a wise master.
Many capable and wise men were unwilling to join Qin as officials because they looked down upon what he had done.
Sighing in disappointment.
Ying Zheng glanced at Ying Chengyu angrily: "Then why don't you leave? We won't provide food today!"
Ying Chengqiu was extremely speechless.
If you don't send my eldest nephew to Shangjun, do you think I will be willing to take care of you?
The food in the palace is so terrible. If you hadn't forced me to stay, I wouldn't have brought anything to eat!
"Brother Emperor, I haven't finished speaking yet."
"Hurry up and get out of here!"
"The day Fusu went to Shangjun was the beginning of the collapse of the Qin Dynasty!"
Ying Chengyu thought that Ying Zheng would be furious.
Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng just frowned.
"What's the meaning of this statement?"
In fact, the little flame in Ying Zheng's heart was already burning very high, but he held back and did not let it out.
Such is his character.
No matter how angry you are, let the other person finish what they have to say.
"Brother, tell me first, what excuse did you use to send Fusu to Shangjun today?"
Rub rub rub rub!
The little flames rose rapidly and could no longer be suppressed!
"You don't know anything! How dare you say that Great Qin is going to collapse?"
"Hey, brother Huang! You have something to say! Don't take the sword!"
"Qin Law stipulates that those who commit the crime of lying will die!"
"The Qin Code clearly states that those who commit lies will be punished by clan punishment! The three Yi clans!"
"I am extraordinarily merciful! I will kill you!"
"The rule of law in Qin! Brother Emperor, you should still punish the clan!"
After dodging Ying Zheng's two slashes, Ying Chengyu ran and shouted.
"It's okay to let others go, but never let my brother go!"
"Shu Zi!!!"
In the end, after Ying Chengyu made a promise that he would come to the palace for an audience within three days and last for one year, Ying Zheng pardoned the crime of beheading for the sake of having a good brother.
"Today at the court meeting, the traitor said that the world has just been peaceful, and the people have been tired of war for a long time, and are in urgent need of a stable life. However, the laws of Qin are too strict, and there are already half a million prisoners in Lishan Mountain alone. In the land of Guanzhong, the punishment
The total number of disciples is even similar to the number of common people."
"He is worried that doing this will make the world uneasy and disperse people's hearts. He wants me to put people first, govern the country with benevolence, and release the prisoners in the world. He said that the people of Guizhou will burst into tears, the people will be at peace, and the world will be at peace. Do you think, based on these few words, he should
Shouldn’t he be thrown to Shangjun?”
Only then did Ying Chengqiao understand the cause and effect, and he smiled bitterly in his heart.
My eldest nephew, you are not unfair at all in being sent away.
If Ying Zheng really does this by amnestying the world and releasing the prisoners, it will definitely cause chaos and chaos in the world.
In recent years, the number of prisoners in Qin has increased sharply because most of those prisoners are defeated soldiers from the six countries.
When the world was first settled, the nobles of the six countries had evil intentions and plotted rebellion.
Releasing those prisoners who were soldiers from the Six Nations at this time is just asking for trouble!
The number of prisoners in Guanzhong is almost the same as that of the common people. This is because Guanzhong is the base of the Qin State and has the strongest military power, accommodating 60% of the prisoners.
Qin's laws are indeed strict, but no matter how strict they are, they are not so severe that the number of prisoners and people are about the same.
The prisoners in Guanzhong should correspond to 60% of the people in the world, not just the people in Guanzhong.
"My eldest nephew is indeed a bit stupid."
"He's not stupid."
Ying Zheng glanced at Ying Chengyu.
"If you can think of something, can the traitor not think of it?"
"That's true. Then why does the eldest nephew still say such things?"
Ying Chengyu frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly felt that something was wrong - what could I think of?
He said angrily: "Brother, what do you mean by this!"
