After releasing Tian Zhizhi and Long Tianhua from the Sky-Swallowing Bottle, Ying Zheng gave Long Tianhua a skill, explained it to the two, and left them in the Hongmeng Realm. Then Ying Zheng returned to the Hongmeng Realm.
Da Qin.
Time flew by quietly and quickly. Today is a special day in the Qin Empire. All the people of the empire looked up at the huge aura picture in the sky early outside their homes.
The vast and magnificent palaces are the pride and yearning of the people of every empire.
In the picture, the majestic and majestic imperial armor is standing guard on both sides of the avenue.
On the central stage, Li Si and Li Changqing had taken off their official uniforms and were kneeling on the stage in prison uniforms, waiting for their resignation.
On the high platform directly opposite Xingtai, the seat representing the supreme imperial power is still empty.
There were densely packed civil and military officials kneeling on both sides of the platform. They were kneeling on the ground respectfully, not daring to whisper to each other, let alone raise their heads and look around.
As a huge horn sounded, followed by a heavy drum, various ritual and musical instruments followed rhythmically.
"Welcome to the Holy Spirit..." Huzi took Xiaodouzi's place at this moment and stood on the high platform, waiting for this moment. Hearing the sound of all the rituals and music being played, he immediately shouted loudly.
Civil and military officials have been kneeling all the time. In fact, they did not need to kneel to greet Ying Zheng when he did not come. But today is the execution day of Li Si and Li Changqing, two elders who have dominated the imperial court for more than 200 years. To show their respect, they spontaneously
Everyone was kneeling with Li Si and Li Changqing.
At this moment, even every citizen who was looking at the sky in front of their home spontaneously knelt down to welcome their emperor.
"May your Majesty dominate the universe and control the universe. May the Qin Dynasty live forever. May the sun and the moon shine together." Everyone shouted in unison, and the sound shook the world.
Ying Zheng's figure walked out of the palace. He did not use magic power, but walked towards the high platform step by step in a very ordinary way.
After walking up to the high platform and sitting down, Ying Zheng looked as usual, stretched out his hands and made a flat gesture, and then looked at Li Si and Li Changqing on the Xing platform.
"Your Majesty has a decree, rise..." Huzi was stunned at first. He didn't realize what His Majesty meant. After seeing His Majesty's indifferent eyes, he immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Thank you, Your Majesty..." Both the common people and the officials said the same thing.
However, the civil and military officials kneeling under the high platform did not get up. Ying Zheng naturally saw it, but he knew what was going on.
He simply ignored it and said calmly: "If there is anyone who pleads for mercy, they will be punished with the same crime."
Some officials below who were originally prepared to plead were immediately dispelled by Ying Zheng's words. Although they wanted to show off, their lives were more important.
And those who sincerely want to plead for mercy have to think carefully before doing so. After all, Your Majesty is a king without words. Especially in front of the people of the world, it is impossible to break the trust of the world.
Although they are not afraid of death, they are not fools. Death must be valuable. Being stupid like this is courting death and acts as an idiot. Naturally, they will not use their useful bodies to do useless work.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Ying Zheng walked from the high platform to the foot of the Xing platform, looked at the two people who looked unnatural, and asked calmly.
Li Si and Li Changqing looked at each other, and Li Changqing said: "Brother, let's talk first!"
Li Si nodded, without being pretentious, and said to Ying Zheng: "The guilty people have a plan, but they didn't come because they were too anxious to get ahead of your majesty, so... Well, I wonder if your majesty still believes in Li Si?"
Seeing that Li Si hesitated to speak, Ying Zheng frowned. What did he mean? He wanted to play tricks before he died? However, Ying Zheng said calmly: "The emperor doesn't believe it or not, he only accepts loyalty."
Advice, avoid mediocre words."
"Your Majesty is wise." Li Si was slightly startled when he heard Ying Zheng's words, and then complimented him.
Ying Zheng did not speak, but speculated on Li Si's intentions in his heart, keeping his expression calm on the surface, as if he was waiting for Li Si's advice.
"Your Majesty, Li Si admires the emergence of the Imperial College and the Imperial Academy. However, he only knows how to teach people to fish, but how can he know that the net is not easy?"
"I only know how to teach people how to fish, but how difficult it is to make a net?" Ying Zheng thought silently in his heart, then his eyes lit up and he looked at Li Sidao: "What's the explanation?"
"Your Majesty's original intention is good, but he concentrates resources for free to cultivate outstanding talents. Even if they are cultivated, they are just flowers in a greenhouse and cannot withstand the wind and rain." Li Siruo said with deep meaning.
"Having said that, there is also bloody training in the academy." Ying Zheng neither denied nor approved.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly." Li Si said solemnly and matter-of-factly.
"But it doesn't matter." Although Ying Zheng felt a little unhappy, he still said patiently.
"Your Majesty's academy system has great flaws and even shortcomings, which are enough to make your Majesty's efforts in vain. He has benefited others in vain and may not be grateful." Li Siruo pointed out something very cryptic.
Ying Zheng finally understood and frowned: "You mean I gave them countless cultivation resources, but they won't be grateful? Will they become an obstacle to the Qin Empire? I really don't understand, what kind of truth is this?
?”
"I will be grateful to Your Majesty at first, but the rule of determining more or less resources based on talent alone will expose its drawbacks over time. Not to mention the resentment of those with poor talent, in the long run it will give people the feeling that they have talent.
Even with resources, His Majesty's free gifts will give people the illusion that these resources are due to their talents, not because of Your Majesty's compassionate reward." Li Si analyzed eloquently.
Ying Zheng framed the shortcomings of the Imperial Academy.
"What on earth do you want to say? Just say it! No need to beat around the bush and criticize me." Ying Zheng said thoughtfully.
"Actually, the guilty people want to tell your majesty to prepare for the rainy day. The guilty people just heard about your majesty's college plan and can imagine that two giant powers will rise within the Qin Empire in the future." Li Si saw Ying Zheng.
The expression on his face was no longer testing, and he directly expressed his hidden worries.
"I have considered what you are worried about, but everything has advantages and disadvantages. Do you want me to cancel it?" Ying Zheng also showed a trace of worry on his face, and it disappeared in a flash. Although there are disadvantages, Ying Zheng feels that
Right now the pros outweigh the cons.
After all, it is still far away from the disadvantages that Li Si is worried about. It will take at least hundreds of years, or even thousands of years. Ying Zheng is not afraid of anything, but he is only afraid of what will happen if he is not in the Qin Empire by then? Once the hidden dangers are discovered, he will naturally find a way to solve them, even if they cannot be solved.
, then we must also find ways to minimize the disadvantages.
"Your Majesty, it is clear that everything has pros and cons, but it can be eliminated to the minimum by using methods." Li Si smiled slightly, then took out the memorial from his arms and said: "This can help your Majesty as much as possible. This is a crime.
This is the last thing the people can do for Your Majesty!" (To be continued...)
