"What do you think of what happened last night?" Ying Zheng asked.
"This matter is not simple. It is an act of rebellion that was premeditated and supported by other forces." Feng Yi came out and directly reported the results of his investigation.
"Oh? Is this true?" Li Si asked.
"It is indeed true. The investigation showed that the thief Dongguo Lu was supported by Xibo Hou Jichang. The thief... was supported by the former Shang King Di Yi. The thief... was..." After explaining the case, Feng Yi retreated.
As a Legalist tool, he is very clear about his position at the moment. It doesn't matter what rebels, major cases, or behind-the-scenes supporters are. All the empire needs is a reason!
This reason can be a rebel, it can be Ji Chang, or it can be Emperor Yi. What the truth is, it doesn't matter at this moment!
"Whether it is Xibohou or a great merchant, they are nothing more than an insignificant stumbling block on the way forward for the empire. They are just remnants of the old era. They cling to the old times and cling to the glory of the nobility. They have long lost sight of the overall situation of the human race in their eyes, and they are more concerned about it.
Without the hardships and efforts of our forefathers who fought hard to open up the mountains and forests, some of them would just be idle and miserable!" Wei Liaozi set the tone in one sentence.
He even started to use map artillery, but since Ying Zheng ascended the throne yesterday and shouted the slogan of unifying the world, it is impossible for them to continue to be allies.
They are all enemies anyway, so map cannons are just map cannons. It would be better to let the officials below realize this as early as possible.
If you are coveting the privileges of the nobility, then leave Daqin early. Otherwise, don't blame the officials of Heibingtai for talking to you!
"Xiqi, Great Shang are all foreign enemies. It is understandable that foreign enemies use methods to deal with Da Qin. But last night, there was a Qi Refiner belonging to the empire who colluded with them and joined forces with the demon clan to cause a riot with the intention of overthrowing the empire. The crime cannot be punished.
!" Shang Yang added.
"Oh? Why?" Ying Zheng asked.
“Too loose!”
"The Empire is so kind to these Qi Practitioners!"
"The empire is too indulging in these Qigong practitioners!"
"The definition of the identity of Qi Refiners has always been vague. Some Qi Refiners feel that they have understood the way of heaven and are far away from the human world. After they have successfully practiced Qi, they no longer regard themselves as human beings. They feel that they are superior to others and are not bound by Qin law.
."
"But these Qi Refiners themselves are from the human race, have clansmen, and have disciples in the human world. Therefore, in the past, the identity of Qi Refiners was very vague, and there was no law specifically governing Qi Refiners."
"So it means that Qin's law has some flaws and is not perfect enough?" Ying Zheng continued to ask.
"Yes, today's Qin Law does have gaps in how to deal with Qi Refiners. In addition, many Qin Laws aimed at Chinese people do have some discomfort when used directly on Qi Refiners." Shang Yang affirmed.
road.
"The veteran feels that Qi refiners can be roughly divided into two categories. One is those who regard themselves as human beings, and the other is those who feel they are otherworldly and no longer human."
"If the former regards themselves as human beings, then we will treat them as human beings. If the latter does not regard themselves as human beings, then there is no need to treat them as human beings." Li Si said sadly.
If you are no longer a human being, what kind of treatment should you receive?
This Xiaomeng is quite familiar!
There are many inhuman beings in her large laboratory!
"Well, that's good. Before, Qin's law was not perfect enough. So starting from today, senior Shang Yang will take the lead, with the cooperation of the national scholar Xuan Ling, the national scholar Zhao Gongming, the national scholar Yunxiao and other practitioners, plus the Qi refining in the empire.
Let’s get together the representatives of the scholars and formulate a Qi Refiner Qin Law that conforms to the customs of the Qin Dynasty.”
"We, the Qin Dynasty, are not unreasonable. Everything is subject to the Qin Law. After the Qin Law is compiled, it will be made public to the world and implemented. After that, the Qi Refiners must also abide by the Qin Law!"
"In the empire, from me on down, under Qin's law, everyone is equal! No one has privileges in front of Qin's law!" Ying Zheng affirmed.
Qin Fa is the most important!
As long as Ying Zheng still adheres to Qin's laws, then Great Qin will still be Great Qin.
However, under Qin’s law, everyone is equal, which does not mean that everyone is equal!
Even in the 21st century, no country can truly achieve the latter. Equality in the true sense does not exist in reality at all. It only exists in ideals and dreams. Just think about it in dreams.
However, the former recognized privileges. The Qin State recognized the nobility and recognized that the nobility had priority in education, transportation, medical care, exercises, etc.
Everyone is equal under Qin's law, but that does not mean everyone is equal!
So this is the reason why neither Xuan Ling nor Zhao Gongming opposed Da Qin, and even supported Da Qin's reforms.
Contribution equals rights!
The greater your contribution, the greater your rights!
Small contribution means small rights!
As for insisting that all people are equal regardless of their contribution, this is not Qin's law!
…
Just when Da Qin was actively taking action to bring practitioners into Qin's jurisdiction, Ji Chang also took action.
In addition to his status as Xibohou, Ji Chang is also the head of the Ji family. Although he does not have much power as the head of the family, and even his words are not as effective as some of the elders in the family, the head of the family is the head of the family, and there is no problem in convening a meeting of the family elders.
.
This is a place where there is no way to go up to the sky, no way down to the ground, and the secrets of heaven are completely blocked. It is an independent small world in the cave. At this moment, this small world is just one of the Ji family's alternative meeting places.
The eight major families have many such shielded secrets and extremely hidden small worlds. They have accumulated them for countless years, and all of them are extremely rich.
"Everyone, according to intelligence, the Marquis of Qin is formulating a new Qin Law. Once this new Qin Law is completed, practitioners in the world will also obey the management of Qin Law from now on."
"Once this is achieved, the Marquis of Qin will be considered to have completed a great cause no less than that of the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors. Only the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors can command those who practice, but even the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors cannot be able to control everyone like the Marquis of Qin.
On the heads of cultivators, Qin Hou did it, Qin Fa did it!"
"This move is of great significance to the entire human race. Once Qin Hou completely completes this move, then I will have no choice but to take Western Zhou to join Qin Hou. At that time, you must also remember that you must abide by Qin's laws and do not
Treat Qin Fa as a joke, otherwise your family will be ruined right before your eyes."
"In fact, it doesn't matter that you are dead, and it is not important. What is pitiful is that the ancestors in the underground have lost their incense since then, and there are no descendants to worship them anymore. It is really pitiful!"
What do you mean it doesn't matter if we die?
What do you mean it doesn't matter if we die?
Can you speak?
Some elders with a bad temper wanted to stand up, roll up their sleeves, and beat Ji Chang!
However, some smart people looked at each other. They thought that with the current situation, Ji Chang would definitely ask for help as soon as he came up. Then they, the elders, could use their resources to play games with the head of the family and carry out political negotiations.
exchange of benefits.
Unexpectedly, Ji Chang never mentioned asking for support, and he even stopped talking about Xiqi's rebellion.
They are all talking about how important and positive the reforms of the Marquis of Qin are, how many benefits they have to the overall situation of the human race, and how much the people can live and work in peace and contentment under Qin's law. But what does this have to do with us here?
Which of the Ji family elders here are real ordinary people?
not a single one!
As for the overall situation of the human race, they are just shouting slogans. Maybe those passionate young people still care about the so-called overall situation and the so-called human race, but at least these immortal elders in front of them mostly put the interests of the family first!
But once the Marquis of Qin becomes the final winner, everyone's privileges will be gone. Even if they violate Qin's laws, they will have to pay the price. Why?
Why do you treat nobles like this?
Why do you treat the Ji family like this?
As for the aristocratic privileges recognized by the Qin Dynasty, they were just priorities. Such a small amount of priority was really not taken seriously by the nobles of this era.
Do nobles who only have priority deserve to be called nobles?
hehe!
"Cough cough, cough cough..."
"Chang, if you have any ideas, just say so. We are all members of our family here." An elderly elder said directly.
"Okay, since the Third Elder asked me to just say it to Na Chang, just say it." Nodding towards the Third Elder, Ji Chang's temperament changed.
"Do you think you are still the passionate young man you were back then? Are you really fair enough in your hearts? Do you think the Ji family today is still the same Ji family that opened up territories for the human race and shed blood with their lives?
"
"If so, then you should immediately capture me, the head of the family with evil intentions, and then depose me, and then the whole family should seek refuge with the Marquis of Qin, but you didn't!"
"Can't you do it?"
"Don't you have this strength?"
"Hahahaha, some of you elders have extremely extraordinary status. They are even the grandsons of His Majesty Xuanyuan. With your strength, you will not be able to defeat me? But why don't you take action? Why don't you arrest me for the sake of the justice of the human race?
This ambitious man even brought all the strength of the Ji family to seek refuge with the Marquis of Qin and help the Marquis of Qin to unify the world?"
"As a descendant of me, I can see that uniting the world as one has great benefits. Even those who accomplish this will become the greatest beings in the human race after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Which one of you seniors will not live longer than me?
Can’t you see it?”
"hehe!"
"Ha ha!"
"hey-hey!"
He laughed three times in a row, which made some of the elders want to go crazy. Ji Chang stopped laughing when he saw that it was good, but he didn't say a nice word, and it made it even worse!
"You have long since decayed, and the Ji family today is no longer the Ji family that worked wholeheartedly for the rise of the human race. In the final analysis, the reason why the Ji family still exists today is just for personal gain! For you.
for my own personal gain, and for my own personal gain.”
"Even in the Fire Cloud Cave, there are more and more sages of the human race who are dissatisfied with you and the eight major families! Everything in the human race is the result of the continuous efforts and hard work of the sages of the Fire Cloud Cave. But
Now it is us, the descendants, who enjoy all this."
"It is not impossible for future generations to enjoy it, but how many years have we enjoyed it? Today, we have even become a cancer for the development of the human race. Even if there is no Qin Hou today, there will be princes one by one in the future. Even
If the situation becomes urgent, it is not impossible for the sages of Huoyundong to personally launch a purge!"
"enough!"
"shut up!"
"Nonsense!"
"When I opened up the territory for the human race, your grandfather and grandfather were not even born yet. Now it is your turn to be here to guide the country? Who are you?"
"Hehe, when I defeated the Nanman in the hands of Emperor Zhuanxu, you were not even born yet!"
"I also fought for the world with Tang Yao back then..."
(If being slapped by Tang Yao and being seriously injured does not count)
"Back then, I was evenly matched with Shun. We were neither superior nor inferior. It was your turn to point fingers?"
Looking at the many elders who were scolding him loudly, Ji Chang smiled and was not angry at all.
After all, these elders were true heroes when they were young. There were times when they were selfless and dedicated to the rise of the human race. But unfortunately, times have changed!
Times have changed
Things are different and people are different!
The reality is that girls can change at will. Aren’t the heroes of the past still like this now?
The heroic spirit is high and the righteousness is thin, that was back then!
Now that Ji Chang, a junior, exposed the truth in an instant, he became so angry that he just scolded them for a few words. Anyway, he didn't lose a piece of flesh.
On the contrary, when they finish scolding, they will definitely regain their sense and take a good look at the reality. The reality is that they actually have no choice!
"As of now, I, Ji Chang, am the only one who can guarantee the personal interests of all the elders! If the Marquis of Qin conquers the world, your privileges will not be lost at all! The Marquis of Qin only recognizes military merit,
Contribution to the Qin Dynasty."
"If Di Xin conquers the world, then there is only death waiting for you. Considering the influence of the Ji family and the influence of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Di Xin should not destroy the entire Ji family, but a great purge is unavoidable. Everyone here
One by one, as long as you don’t surrender to Di Xin in advance, what awaits you is still a dead end!"
"Make your choice, everyone! This is yarrow. If the long end points upward, it means that you are willing to fully support our Xiqi army. If the short end points upward, it means that you are opposed to our Xiqi army."
"Everyone, if the Marquis of Qin wins, with the Marquis of Qin's mind, as long as you don't directly rebel, you only need to abide by Qin's laws and you can live well afterwards. If Di Xin wins, then you will only die. I
If you win, your glory and wealth can continue to be maintained."
"Hey, abide by Qin law? Live well? I don't like this kind of life!" After saying that, an elder directly threw out a yarrow with the long end pointing upward.
Slowly, the elders made their choices one by one. Looking at the yarrow in the sky, the smile on Ji Chang's face became more and more sincere...
