After reading the memorial delivered by Li Si, Ying Zheng pondered for a long time, sighed slightly in his heart, and then said to Li Si: "I will remember it here." After saying that, he pointed to his chest and said with a complicated expression.
Li Si seemed to be infected by Ying Zheng's emotions, and said with a sad expression: "If it hadn't been for His Majesty's appreciation, Li Si'an would have become famous all over the world and dominated the court for more than two hundred years. It was Li Si who was sorry for His Majesty's kindness first and failed His Majesty's grace.
Death is not a pity." After saying that, Li Si couldn't help crying anymore.
Ying Zheng sighed and began to waver in his heart. He had also made the judgment in anger before. However, when the emperor returns to the throne, he can regret his heart but never regret his words. Otherwise, if the whole world knows, how can the emperor's prestige exist? But Li Sihe
Although Li Changqing was pitiable, he did betray himself. This was what made Ying Zheng the most angry.
However, although Ying Zheng is ruthless and shows no mercy to his enemies, Li Si and Li Changqing have followed him for more than two hundred years. Even if they are no longer reused, can they find a compromise and spare their lives in disguise?
When Li Si saw Ying Zheng's thoughtful look, a glimmer of hope flashed across his eyes.
"I beg Your Majesty to consider the Prime Minister and Chief Changqing's loyalty to Your Majesty for more than two hundred years and give him a lighter sentence." Two-thirds of the civil and military officials kneeling below suddenly said in unison.
"Huh?" Ying Zheng was deep in thought, trying to think of a compromise, but when he heard this shocking voice, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Changqing and Li Si who were kneeling in front of them, and did not even listen to Li Changqing's words.
, turned around and rushed towards the rooftop.
Li Changqing's expression also changed, and then he glanced thoughtfully at the civil and military officials who were still shouting for mercy. He smiled bitterly. Then endless melancholy and sadness arose in his heart.
Ying Zheng returned to his throne, staring coldly at the civil and military officials below who were shouting for mercy, and then looked at the civil and military officials who remained silent, thinking deeply in his heart.
"Rebellion...rebellion...all rebellion. Your Majesty has already issued an edict. If anyone who pleads for mercy is guilty of the same crime, are you forcing the palace to rebel?" Suddenly a silent official stood up and pointed at the people who were still there.
The civil and military officials who shouted for mercy shouted loudly. Then they knelt down to Ying Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, Li Si, Li Changqing has caused cholera in the world and poisoned the people with tea. They are unforgivable. These people know very well that your Majesty values love and righteousness, and heaven and earth can be enlightened.
To intimidate Your Majesty in this way, in order to trap Your Majesty in unkindness and unrighteousness, to ignore the Holy Grace and to despise the Emperor is actually a crime of disobedience and disrespect."
"Oh?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows. He looked at the official, his face was calm, and he didn't speak. He neither refuted nor scolded.
Seeing this, Zhou Yafu felt even more confident. He had been in the court for many years, and he was still just a junior high official. He was a very patient person and had been waiting for the opportunity. Until today, Zhou Yafu knew that the opportunity had come. Although
There is a great risk that His Majesty will directly kill you, but life is about hard work. If you don't give it a try, how can you stand out among all living beings?
He has been studying His Majesty's habits for so many years, and he knows that this scene is probably what His Majesty hates the most. I am afraid that even if His Majesty was originally soft-hearted and did not really want to kill Li Si and Li Changqing, but these people made such a fuss, Zhou Yafu thought that it was already done.
Destined.
After thinking about this, Zhou Yafu hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Your Majesty, Li Si has controlled the government for more than two hundred years and has students and disciples all over the world. Most of these people are close followers whom Li Si cultivated for personal gain. Otherwise, why would he dare to challenge Tianwei?"
Although Ying Zheng's face did not change at all, he was already convinced in his heart. After all, it is difficult to avoid favors. As for Li Si's use of power for personal gain, Ying Zheng did not take it seriously. Although most of these people were Li Si's disciples, there were indeed some
He is talented, otherwise he would not be able to serve as an official in Da Qin for so many years, let alone set foot in the court.
But everyone in the world understands the truth. It is simple to say, but who can follow it all? Ying Zheng is no exception. He naturally believes in Li Si's character, otherwise he would not have appointed Li Si as prime minister for more than two hundred years. But trust is one thing.
, when someone said it, he felt something special in his heart.
The emperor is most afraid of cliques. Why have so many officials in the past dynasties died out of hatred? Not all of them are guilty. Some of them have too much prestige. There are too many officials in the court who have been cared for by him. This is undoubtedly a bad sign.
, the prestige of the imperial power is too much, and the consequences can be imagined.
The royal family is ruthless, and everything is making way for the imperial power. Any stumbling block that hinders the road to imperial power will undoubtedly be kicked away by the emperor without mercy, except of course those incompetent emperors. As for any saint, who does not have his hands full of brothers and relatives?
blood?
Zhou Yafu's words really touched Ying Zheng's mind. Although Li Si and Li Changqing's betrayal made Ying Zheng angry, suspicion also played a part. After all, Li Si had been in charge of the court for more than two hundred years and had already penetrated into the hearts of the people of Qin. This made Ying Zheng feel
The knot is still a dead knot that cannot be untied.
As for Li Changqing, it was because he had so many grievances that not only the officials in the court were afraid of him, but also the common people's expressions changed. This kind of fear has been deeply rooted in people's hearts for more than two hundred years. Ying Zheng certainly
Not afraid of anything, with supreme strength, he can ignore all challenges, but what he wants is an unprecedented prosperous empire that is united and united and supported by the hearts of the people, not a chaotic dynasty that is divided and suppresses all day long.
Sacrifice is indispensable at all times. In troubled times, someone needs to make sacrifices. In peaceful times, someone also needs to make sacrifices, but the means are different. The purpose is to stabilize the world and bring the world back home.
"Master, please don't slander others and flatter a villain. The Prime Minister has dedicated more than two hundred years to the Qin Dynasty. Why must he end up like this? Doesn't this make Your Majesty lose the heart of the world's official?" On the other side, for
Li Si appealed to the doctor Liu Kai for mercy, and immediately pointed at Zhou Yafu and cursed angrily.
"How can rebellious ministers and traitors be brought to a happy end? If such traitors do not uphold the law, how can we rectify Tiangang and calm the people's hearts?" Zhou Yafu did not retaliate, but scolded him with righteousness.
Soon the group of petitioners headed by Liu Kai started a verbal war with the central doctor Zhou Yafu, and they were spitting. Zhou Yafu had the style of a general, fighting tens of thousands of mouths with one mouth, and his voice was drowned in the wave of angry saliva.
He was still answering very calmly and leisurely, without any fear on his face. Although no one could hear his voice, his exemplary appearance left a deep impression on all the civil and military officials who remained silent.
Especially Ying Zheng, who had no intention of stopping this endless abuse, but stared thoughtfully at Zhou Yafu, who was surrounded and drowned by the wave of saliva. No one knew what he was thinking.
[After all, I have been busy with work these two days. Huh, I will update more tomorrow! There should be at least three chapters! I hope everyone understands the difficulty of the emperor and gives monthly and recommendation votes to the emperor. In this way, no matter how hard and tired the emperor is, it will be worth it!
