An older man stood up proudly, as if he had been waiting for a long time, holding a thick roll of bamboo slips in his hand.
"Your Majesty, Dr. Bao Bailingzhi, together with twenty-six of his fellow doctors, petitions Your Majesty to release Tingwei Zuojian, arrest the Lord of Chang'an, and act in accordance with the laws of Qin. This memorial is submitted by twenty-seven of my fellow doctors, please Your Majesty Watch it!"
As soon as he said this, all the ministers looked at him sideways.
The first person to attack Ying Chengyu was the Doctoral Department, which made the officials seem to smell something different.
Bao Bailingzhi was a very prestigious person in the Doctoral Department.
If all the Confucian doctors in the doctoral department are removed, then Bao Bailingzhi can basically speak on behalf of the doctoral department.
Ying Chengyu yawned.
It seems that the first batch of people are here for me and have nothing to do with government affairs. Do you want me to get some sleep first?
The First Emperor knocked on the throne twice.
"Since there is a memorial, let everyone listen to it. There is no need to submit it, it can be read out in the hall."
"only."
Bao Bai Lingzhi was not timid and responded immediately.
He sat upright on the ground again, spread out the thick bamboo slips on the table, and said loudly: "Since the Shang Dynasty in the Qin Dynasty, King Shang has reformed the law, rewritten the laws of Qin, and governed the country by law. Under the laws of Qin, all princes, princes, and people are treated equally. Implementation of the new law Law, we, the Qin Dynasty, can only go out from the east of the country that is firmly entrenched in Hangu. We must retreat from Wei and seize Hexi, advance into Chu and destroy the capital of Ying, until your majesty gathers the protection of ancestors and gods in one body, unifies the four seas, and the world is submissive. Investigate the root cause, this is I, the Qin Dynasty, have steadfastly practiced the laws of the Shang Dynasty for several generations."
"Now four people died in public on the balcony. The murderer Zhang Han and the instigator Ying Chengxiang. The case is clear and can be judged according to Qin law. Why did Yingchengxiang disappear when Tingwei Mansion arrested him? If they were caught, they would arrest the relatives of the deceased. We don’t know what basis the Tingwei Mansion acted on. Which article in the Qin Code says that the royal family members can kill people in public without being punished?"
"I don't know whether Li Tingwei acted selfishly or was ordered by His Majesty. I only know that by acting in this way, it is in vain to consider the laws of Qin. The Qin Dynasty is not far away! I hope that Your Majesty will use the country and the country, the country and the thousands of millions. The surname is Ji. Release Tingwei Zuojian, capture Ying Chengxuan and imprison him, and execute him immediately! Minister Bao Bai ordered him, Cui Ji... a total of twenty-seven people, present to your majesty!"
With hundreds of words written eloquently, Bao Bering's voice was full of emotion, and he read it in one breath without even stumbling.
His language was extremely powerful, as if if he didn't do what he said, the Great Qin Empire would fall apart tomorrow, and there would be chaos everywhere.
"What Dr. Bao Bailingzhi said is true."
All the doctors echoed, indicating that they had a part in this.
The First Emperor looked coldly at the doctors who were talking, and those doctors shut up and fell silent.
"Except for the twenty-seven doctors, is there anyone else who has reported the matter of becoming a dragon? If so, please hurry up and deal with this matter together."
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
Zhou Qingchen stood up.
The ministers looked sideways, a little puzzled.
This week Qingchen is a servant and belongs to the doctor's office. Why didn't he just invite the doctor's office together? It's just that the twenty-seven people were changed to twenty-eight people.
"Why don't you play in unison with Bao Bailingzhi?" the First Emperor asked directly.
"The memorial of the minister is completely different from that of Dr. Bao Bailing!"
Wow~
The ministers were shocked.
What Bao Bai ordered just now was derived from the Qin law. He must abide by the Qin law, release Tingwei Zuojian, and arrest and execute Lord Chang'an.
You and Bao Bering are completely different from each other. Where do you start from? Do you want to say that Qin Fa is not important?
The doctor who handed Zhou Qingchen the brush was even more shocked. He looked at Bao Bailing's stern questioning eyes with an innocent look on his face.
This is different from what he told me.
Even Li Si, who was the ninth minister, turned to look at Zhou Qingchen in surprise.
"Speak." The First Emperor ordered.
"only!"
Zhou Qingchen also shouted loudly, showing no fear at all.
"The unity of the world depends on Your Majesty. Your Majesty's kindness can be like water, which can fill the four seas. Your Majesty's kindness can be like a mountain, but it can't be high enough. Everything in this world is under His Majesty's eyes. We ordinary people can't see the scenery as well as Your Majesty. One in 10,000. Regarding the tower issue, we see it differently from your Majesty's view. I think that no matter how your Majesty handles it, it is the best move. I believe that if you arrest Tingwei Zuojian instead of Chang'an Lord, your Majesty will definitely have something to do. It’s deeply understood and shouldn’t be changed.”
Gai Nie: ...The third licking dog.
Zhao Gao: ...write it down, write it all down!
The ministers looked at Zhou Qingchen blankly.
How did Zhou Qingchen manage to say such words without changing his expression and without his heart beating...
Bao Bai Lingzhi has already given the doctors good looks.
All the doctors understood it and were gearing up.
I am going to wait until Zhou Qingchen finishes playing, and then I will show this little servant who doesn't know the heights of the world what a doctor's knowledge reserve is.
You dare to stab our twenty-seven doctors in the back, do you, a little servant, have the strength?
Then wait for Zhou Qingchen to finish playing.
Twenty-seven Doctors:? ? ?
This has nothing to do with knowledge reserve, but to do with thickness of face.
Bao Bailing's angry beard blew up Lao Gao's face, but it was difficult for him to still jump up and down despite his old age.
"What a smooth-tongued person! A treacherous minister! You have messed up His Majesty's mind! You will destroy the iron-blooded Qin!"
Bang bang bang~
Ying Chengyu, who was originally drowsy, became energetic and clapped his hands enthusiastically.
"Cai! That's very well said! You have a great talent. Do you want to come to my house and be a guest?"
The ministers were silent.
A dandy and a treacherous courtier, they are really a perfect match.
Gai Nie:...Master, are you looking for a specialty too frivolously?
Zhao Gao: ...Wu Anjun hates flatterers the most, people like Guo Kai who can only use their mouths. On the first day after entering Chang'an Lord's Mansion, he would be attacked by Wu An Lord.
The First Emperor nodded with interest.
"Zhou Qingchen is so loyal to me. He is a very loyal minister. All the gentlemen should learn from this."
The ministers were silent.
Didn't hear it, didn't hear it.
Bao Bai was filled with indignation.
"The Tingwei is partial to the law and ignores the laws of Qin. Pushe does not read the classics and is full of flattery. The ministers in the hall pretend to be deaf and mute. How can there be any natural reason for such a great Qin to not be destroyed!"
Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang, Feng Quji... and other senior officials of Qin State were waiting to watch what happened.
They enjoy having someone wade through the water for them.
Li Si waited for a moment.
Seeing that only Bao Bailing was impassioned, no one had the intention to stand up.
He sighed with regret, then stood up, turned around, and faced Bao Bai Lingzhi.
"Si reminds Dr. Bao that he is guilty of false accusation and other crimes."
Bao Bai was stunned.
The ministers were also suffocated.
Qin Fa didn't go to court, so why did Li Si break the rules again and again!
The rigid look on the face of Li Si, the Great Qin Tingwei, seemed to have been engraved on it by the laws of Qin.
He glanced around at the twenty-seven doctors who had just spoken, as if he wanted to see the minds of these twenty-seven people.
Then he turned around, faced the First Emperor, bowed down and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the four people who died on the tower had secretly sold their defective ordnance to the people in the military camp to make money. I have been informed by the Lord of Chang'an According to the guidance, it has been found that Li Li, the left prisoner of Tingwei, knew about it and did not report it, and the four of them are equally guilty."
"I did not arrest Lord Chang'an and arrest Tingwei Zuojian. I acted in accordance with the laws of Qin. Lord Chang'an is not guilty and has merit. If I talk about my fault, it is my mistake to arrest Zhonglang General Zhang Han. I petition your Majesty to release General Zhonglang. .”
Killed with one blow, the court fell into dead silence.
Bao Bai, who had been so impassioned just now and seemed so loyal to the Qin Dynasty, turned red and turned pale, opening his mouth to speak.
Most of the twenty-seven doctors were extremely uncomfortable, as if they had nails growing out of their butts.
The First Emperor looked at these twenty-seven doctors from various aristocratic families and smiled.
"Gentlemen, do you have anything else to say?"
Among the twenty-seven doctors, a younger doctor stood up angrily and said loudly: "Qin Fa's fault..."
"sit down!"
The companion next to him, who was also one of the twenty-seven doctors, immediately pulled the younger doctor to sit down.
The younger doctor still wanted to speak, but was stared at by Bao Bailingzhi's murderous eyes.
With his companions firmly holding his legs down, the younger doctor finally gave up the idea of standing up.
What he just wanted to say was: Qin Fa's merits and demerits are not balanced. Even if there is evidence that the four people killed by Ying Chengxuan deserve to die, and Tingwei Zuojian is the insider, that is not a reason not to sentence Ying Chengxuan.
Anyone who violates Qin's laws will be dealt with by the Tingwei Mansion. How can there be any reason for Ying Chengyu to be lynched? Ying Chengyu and Zhang Han are guilty of instigating murder and killing in public, and they should be punished for their crimes!
In fact, according to Qin's rules, what the younger doctor said was completely correct.
Bao Bailingzhi and the doctor who held down the younger doctor also knew this Qin law.
But they didn’t speak up, and they didn’t let the younger doctors speak out…
Li Si also knew what was written in the Qin Code, and he also knew that these doctors who stood up to stir up trouble also knew it.
But he is confident that today in the court, these people will not tell the true Qin Law...
"Qin ruled the country by law. It was like this in the past, it is like this today, and it will be like this in the future."
The First Emperor sneered inwardly.
"Li Tingwei acted according to Qin's laws, how could I not follow them? That's right!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The First Emperor looked around at the ministers and said, "Do you have any objections?"
There was no objection from the Qin ministers in the Manchu Dynasty.
The First Emperor tapped the throne twice more and said: "Since no one objects, this matter has been concluded. If you go back on your advice on this matter, you will have your limbs chopped off and abandoned outside the palace."
Zhou Qingchen said proudly: "Your Majesty's sage wisdom is difficult to find throughout the ages. There is no flaw in the decision he made. We accept it!"
The tower case is over.
Ying Chengyu sighed.
The farce is over, it's time for the main event.
"There are no rules to report, so let's discuss state affairs. The enfeoffment of the Qin Dynasty? Prefectures and counties? Sirs, please speak freely."
Right Prime Minister Wang Wan took a deep breath.
This veteran minister who was good at internal affairs and had defected to Ying Zheng very early stood up slowly.
What should be tested was already tested in the last court meeting.
Under the enfeoffment system, all aristocratic families are excluded, and His Majesty will not operate on them.
This time, His Majesty spared the noble family in the tower case. It is really possible that this county system is not His Majesty's preference.
The Qin Dynasty is still divided into prefectures and counties. Whether my descendants will have fiefdoms and titles in the future depends on the present day!
This old prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, whether in name only or in the hearts of his ministers, spent all his life's energy and said: "Your Majesty has wiped out the six kingdoms, conquered the sea, and shocked all directions. He has the virtue of three emperors, and has merited more than the five emperors. He is the first person in history."
"However, peace within the sea is easy, and peace within the sea is difficult. The nine states in the world have different situations and customs, making it difficult to rule them all under one roof. If the Qin Dynasty wants to be at peace, it must implement the feudal system. Confer many princes as princes, and supplement them with good ministers, according to the time and place. And by promoting governance, the world can be settled!"
The First Emperor said nothing.
Just looking at the old minister who had been with him for more than ten years and now had mottled white hair, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.
Next to Wang Wan, Wei Xiu stood up suddenly.
As someone who was not a pure Central Plains person, he reached the position of Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, and was privately called the Prime Minister of the Hu people.
There is only one person in Da Qin, Wei Zhuang!
This man, who was born with a pair of blue eyes and three-dimensional facial features, was of mixed race from the Central Plains. He spoke fluent Xianyang dialect and said loudly: "Your Majesty now rules over the world and unites the four seas. He will inherit the unparalleled achievements of the three generations and build up and destroy the feudal kingdoms." , so that all the princes and founding heroes have the land of the country, and all have the power of diligent kings! In this way, the land has its owner and the people have its king, and your majesty also saves the labor of governing the people. It is so depressing and elegant! It’s so big!”
Um?
Founding hero?
All the ministers were horrified!
The First Emperor suddenly sat up straight and stared at Wei Xiang.
Standing next to Wei Zhuang, Wang Wan, who was the first to take the first shot at the enfeoffment, suddenly turned his head and stared at Wei Zhuang.
Wang Jian, who had been closing his eyes and falling asleep, thinking of just getting away with it, suddenly raised his head and stared at Wei Xiang.
Just as he was about to stand up for the third time, Feng Quji, who immediately said what he was thinking after Wei Zhuang finished speaking, suddenly turned his eyes and stared at Wei Zhuang.
Wei Liao, the state captain, Li Si, the court captain, Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC, Li Xin, the Marquis of Longxi, Mengyi, the internal historian, Meng Tian, the general...
There was one person after another in the hall, and everyone was staring at Wei Xiang with horror in their eyes.
Even Ying Chengyu was serious as he sat there and re-examined the Prime Minister Zuo of the Qin Dynasty, whose achievements were all in the Great Wall and outside the Great Wall.
Hu people are so brave...
Wei Xiang tore open this layer of fig leaf.
He no longer used the title of prince as a cover.
He was aboveboard and unfurled the flag.
He openly asked for rewards and land from the First Emperor who sat on the throne and was regarded as a god by the world.
Wei Zhuang single-handedly raised the already raging dispute between enfeoffments and counties to an unprecedented level.
He forced the ministers to get into his chariot.
This time is a decisive battle, there is no way out.
Without the fiefdom, the First Emperor would never be alive again!
Li Si took a deep breath. This was not because he was timid, but because he was excited. He wanted to calm down the burning flame in his heart.
Si, want the position of prime minister!
Li Si glanced at the First Emperor.
Stand up.
Li Si glanced at Ying Chengyu.
Open your mouth.
"Si disagrees."
