"Your Majesty, I have no shame in living in this world. It is Li Si who has let down Your Majesty. When I was young, I encountered obstacles everywhere. It was Your Majesty who appreciated me and gave Li Si a huge stage so that Li Si could show his talents and learn something." Li Siman
He looked guilty and said with a trembling voice.
"Actually, it's me...forget it, the past is like smoke, so there's no need to mention it anymore." Ying Zheng hesitated before speaking, and then said after a while.
"Old... the sinners must obey His Majesty's holy instructions." Li Si couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Li Si, as long as I reign for one day, I will ensure that your descendants will enjoy endless glory and wealth. This is the last time I will reward you." Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and said with deep meaning.
"Li Si, your Majesty's grace." Li Si thanked him again with a grateful look.
"Li Si, do you really not blame me for being ruthless at all? Don't you blame me for being unrighteous?" Ying Zheng took another step toward Li Si, closing the distance between them. Ying Zheng looked at Li Si's face and eyes.
, seems to want to see through Li Si.
"When a person is old, he is no longer of use! If you have old bones, what is the fear of death? If you die as a sinner, you can contribute a small amount to the Qin Empire, and you can give your majesty the last chance.
Be loyal, this can be said to be the best destination for sinners."
"Serving the Qin Dynasty and serving Your Majesty for the whole life, even if it means death, is so valuable. This is a blessing that no one can ask for, and it is too late for the guilty people to thank Your Majesty! How dare you blame Your Majesty for being ruthless and unjust?
?”
"Your Majesty is so considerate of the sinners, it is really a blessing to all the people in the world and the civil and military officials of the dynasty!" Li Si seemed to be mocking himself, and then praised Ying Zheng.
However, Ying Zheng's face did not show the slightest joy at hearing the beautiful praise. Instead, his face became increasingly livid.
How could Ying Zheng fail to hear that there was something hidden in Li Si's words? Every word was directed at him. But Ying Zheng didn't get angry. He wanted to kill others first. He just complained and felt wronged, which is human nature.
.
If he doesn't have these qualities, how can he talk about being an emperor? People are not saints. If he wants to kill them, but they are still grateful to him, Ying Zheng thinks it's abnormal!
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "You Li Si, you are sarcastically insinuating me in a roundabout way. You scolded me without leaving any trace of evidence. How brave you are."
Li Si's heart tightened instinctively. His Majesty's prestige was too deep. What he just said was indeed a blur of praise and blame. Naturally, it was impossible for him to admit Ying Zheng's statement.
"The guilty people don't dare, Your Majesty, even if the guilty people have great courage, they don't dare to speak nonsense against Your Majesty!" Li Si looked like a young daughter-in-law who was wronged and insulted, crying out for injustice.
Ying Zheng was a little bit dumbfounded. Although he was being mocked, on the surface, he was really praising him. For these literati politicians who resorted to ink and ink, Ying Zheng was taught another lesson.
The so-called killing without blood and leaving no trace is nothing more than that! But Ying Zheng didn’t want to go into it further.
"Changqing, you seem to have no descendants yet, right?" Ying Zheng suddenly asked Li Changqing, who had been silent for a long time.
"Your Majesty, I have been busy with government affairs all my life, and I really have no skills at all." Li Changqing was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously.
"Asshole, government affairs are never finished. Only a qualified official can take into account both public and private matters in an orderly manner." Ying Zheng scolded. Ying Zheng has always been aware of Li Changqing's affairs, but things are different now. He really
I couldn't bear to see Li Changqing devote his whole life to the Qin Dynasty and have no descendants to continue.
"You are still arguing with me, pretending that I don't know anything? As far as I know, you haven't remarried since your first wife passed away unfortunately, right?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Changqing and said with deep meaning.
"Your Majesty is wise, but since the sinner was promoted to the post of imperial censor until the head of the Intelligence Department of the Black Nightmare Army, there really has been no time to breathe. How can he have time to marry a wife and take concubines?" Li Changqing's face was a little sad, obviously touching a distant memory.
"Okay, don't make excuses with me, don't talk about your worries, even if it's the eighth generation of your ancestors, I know everything about it." Ying Zheng said very speechlessly.
"Let me speak frankly! I am going to reward you with ten beauties and leave your bloodline behind! Your descendants are the same as Li Si's descendants. As long as I reign for one day, your descendants will enjoy endless glory and wealth.
"Ying Zheng then expressed his thoughts and said to Li Changqing.
"The guilty people dare to ask Your Majesty, is this an imperial edict from the Emperor! Or is it a help given by Your Majesty as a friend?" Li Changqing looked directly at Ying Zhengdao.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Changqing's unyielding gaze and felt quite embarrassed in his heart. He knew that Li Changqing was an infatuated person, and although he wanted to make up for it, more importantly, he sincerely wanted to help Li Changqing leave his bloodline.
"What's the difference?" Ying Zheng was also confused by Li Changqing's question and asked with some doubts.
"If Your Majesty orders the guilty people according to the emperor's imperial edict, the guilty people will never disobey the imperial edict, but the guilty people will only follow the order and commit suicide to thank God. If Your Majesty, as a friend, forgives the guilty people for their boldness, it will be difficult to obey the order." Li Changqing looked determined.
He is neither humble nor overbearing towards Ying Zheng, and he will never give in to matters of principle.
Ying Zheng felt a little blocked in his heart. He knew that Li Changqing had this temper. Although he was usually respectful to him, if there was something Li Changqing didn't want to do, he would never give in even if he killed him.
Although he knew it and had experienced this bull-tempered Ying Zheng many times, he still felt a little unhappy in his heart.
"Why? Changqing, I know that you have a deep love for your wife, so you are still alone after more than two hundred years. But you must understand that there are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is not having children." Ying Zheng was unhappy in his heart, but he was still unhappy.
persuaded.
"The sinners thank you for your kindness, but your majesty's kindness will not be tolerated by the sinners. Please don't mention this matter again." Li Changqing looked like he was out of touch, and directly rejected Ying Zheng.
"Evergreen! Why are you doing this?" Ying Zheng shook his head and said with great regret.
"In the past two hundred years, the criminals have spent all the time thinking about me. My wife has been waiting for Changqing for more than two hundred years. Now I can finally meet and reunite with my wife." After saying this, Li Changqing's tense expression remained unchanged forever.
The dull face revealed a bright smile.
This made Ying Zheng also see it. You know, Li Changqing would smile on occasion in the past. But that smile was uglier than crying. Once you see it, you will know that it is not fake anymore.
"Changqing, I understand your unforgettable love for Madam Ling, but if you don't leave any descendants of your blood, how can you face your ancestors under the Nine Springs?" Ying Zheng thought for a long time, and finally decided to persuade her.
"Although sinners are not saints, they are still people of flesh and blood. Without love, what is sex? If sinners force themselves to leave their blood and have sex with women who they have never met and have no love, such behavior will harm those souls.
What's the difference between an unintelligent beast? I believe our ancestors can understand Changqing's difficulties and true feelings." Li Changqing's words were outstanding, and his impassioned words echoed in the cell.
After hearing what Li Changqing said, Ying Zheng and Li Si turned pale and red, looking quite embarrassed.
The emperor and his ministers were obviously shocked by Li Changqing's words. They looked at each other sympathetically, but almost didn't say to each other that they know their own affairs! (To be continued...)
