The next day, Li Si left Chang'an Township and reported to Li Si.
"Sir, great news! Li Zhao dared to force Xiao He, a foreign student, destroyed his classics, criticized his fighting spirit, and asked Shimoda to catch insects. This is a typical abuse of students."
The haze in Li Siting's eyes disappeared, revealing surprise.
"This is true."
"It's absolutely true. The villain saw it clearly. The student Xiao He was even more furious. However, he was held captive by the slaves and could not escape. He must hate Li Zhao to the core at this moment."
Li Siyin laughed, "That's really a good thing! Li Zhao is dead."
...
At the end of the court meeting, after discussing the report, Ying Zheng asked a routine question.
"Do you still have any memorials, sir?"
Since being tricked by Li Zhao last time, Li Si found that his status in His Majesty's mind has been greatly reduced. His Majesty usually likes to seek his opinion on everything, but recently he has not summoned him, but instead took advantage of Feng Quji.
This is all caused by Li Zhao. He wants to restore His Majesty's trust, and Li Zhao cannot let him go.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Li Si stood up, bowed and said.
Ying Zheng didn't look good and waved his hand.
"Something's coming up."
"promise!"
Li Si organized his words, showed grief and indignation, and said: "I want to impeach Li Zhao."
Ying Zheng had a slightly serious face, secretly thinking that this beast just had no good intentions, and he would definitely retaliate!
"Since the emperor's order, the students are all happy and their status has been improved. However, some people do not respect the emperor's order and insist on brutally abusing the students. This is disrespectful to His Majesty!"
"Oh!" Ying Zheng was slightly startled and his eyes became sharp. This matter is indeed a problem. He has just issued an imperial decree to treat students well, but unexpectedly someone committed an offense.
To put it bluntly, this is disrespectful to you.
"Who is this person? Tell me in detail!"
"promise!"
After successfully attracting His Majesty's attention, Li Si's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning.
"This person is Li Zhao from Chang'an Township."
oh!
Ying Zheng frowned, but he didn't expect it to be Li Zhao. He had proposed the imperial examination, and he wanted to treat students well. How could he abuse students?
The powerful ministers also discussed it a lot, especially those who were dissatisfied with Li Zhao, and the reaction was great.
Indeed, Li Zhao was made a young eunuch and given a title, which made many people jealous. Last time, Li Si's bribery was exposed, and Ling's attempt to prevent the imperial examination failed, but it offended many people.
You know, since the unification of the Qin Dynasty, bribery has not been uncommon, and it has been kept secret. Your Majesty is also aware of it, but you insist on pursuing it. Doesn't this pave the way for the imperial examination and use Prime Minister Li to intimidate the ministers?
It can be said that Li Zhao was an indirect figure who led to the implementation of the imperial examination.
Unpopular person.
But this person committed abuse just after the emperor ordered him to do so. That is an important clue!
"There is a son named Xiao He in Peixian County. He was originally a chief official. In line with the belief of serving the country, he resolutely resigned from his position as a chief official and went to Xianyang to study and take the exam."
After Li Si reported the situation in Chang'an Township, Li Si immediately sent people to investigate Xiao He and found out about him.
"Little did he know that when he went to Chang'an Township to visit his uncle, he was forcibly detained by Li Zhao. What's even more annoying is that Li Zhao actually forced Xiao He to go to the fields to catch insects."
"What?" Upon hearing the word "catching insects", all the powerful ministers were very angry and filled the hall with anger.
That's a student!
They are also students. The dignity of students is inviolable. If they are forced to go to the fields to catch insects, isn't this an insult to scholars? Insult them?
Angry, hateful.
What's even more hateful is yet to come.
Li Si continued: "Not only that, Xiao He took time out of his busy schedule to study the sacred classics in order to learn how to govern the country. Little did he know that all the classics were snatched away by Li Zhao and destroyed."
This is a bit exaggerated.
What?
When the powerful officials heard this, they clenched their fists in anger and looked ferocious.
This is no longer as simple as hating Li Zhao, but to another level, going against all the scholars in Da Qin.
Destroying sacred books is a grave sin!
Even Ying Zheng, who favored Li Zhao, stood up angrily and uttered angry words.
"How dare Shuzi, how dare you."
Extremely excited.
Seeing this, Li Si smiled secretly and lost no time in continuing: "Your Majesty, please punish Li Zhao and bring him to justice immediately, otherwise the emperor's order will be a joke."
The ministers also echoed loudly: "Your Majesty, please deal with Li Zhao immediately."
The sound is so consistent.
Feng Quji, who knew His Majesty's character well, did not dare to speak again.
This is outrageous.
"It is said that Li Zhao and Xiao He will be severely punished if this is true."
Ying Zheng looked ferocious and issued orders angrily.
Li Zhao didn't know what happened, so he was sent to the court by the waiter. He was very confused and thought to himself that something had gone wrong again! No! He is very peaceful.
After saluting, the two of them stood aside. Suddenly, Li Zhao suddenly felt a chill all over his body. At first glance, he saw Li Si's resentful and sarcastic eyes staring closely at him.
Li Zhao subconsciously moved a step to avoid that gaze, but his heart became gloomy. Needless to think, it must have been the bastard Li Si who did it again!
This guy, don’t stop!
"Li Zhao, do you know your guilt?"
Without saying a word, Ying Zheng angrily questioned him, and other dignitaries also showed their intention to send him to the eighteenth level of hell.
crime? Li Zhao was confused. He really didn't understand why Qin Shihuang was so crazy? He was a human being, so why did he sin?
"I don't know!" Li Zhao said truthfully, but his words brought serious consequences, and the powerful minister became angry.
"You are so bold, Li Zhao, that you are so arrogant after committing such a heinous crime. Do you despise the imperial power?"
Li Si was the first to speak.
Obviously, 'I don't know' is arrogance in their eyes.
"Zhu Zimu has no royal laws. Your Majesty, I suggest that you don't need to ask any more questions and that he should be executed on the spot to serve as a warning to others."
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
It has to be said that Li Zhao offended many powerful officials! No one spoke for him.
He felt like a chicken waiting to be castrated, and no matter how hard he was surrounded, his gleaming 'cleaver' was still exposed.
However, he really didn’t know what crime he had committed!
Ying Zheng glared at Li Zhao angrily, his stern face without a trace of blood, and scolded him sternly: "You really don't know the crime. Let me ask you, what happened to Xiao He?"
He pointed at Xiao He, "He is a student!"
oh!
Li Zhao seemed to hear something, Xiao He? Student? Did Qin Shihuang say that he abused Xiao He? Abuse students?
"You dare to force him to stay, seize his books, destroy his will, and humiliate him in the fields. This is a great disrespect to the students. Do you think you are guilty?"
Ying Zheng looked heartbroken and covered his chest with his hands.
Really.
Li Zhao felt a little guilty. Indeed, he really did these things, but he did them very secretly! How did it get here?
But you can't admit it. If you admit that you want to behead, you will immediately deny it.
"Your Majesty, you are unjust! I didn't, I..." He shouted that he was wronged, but he didn't know what excuse to make, so he made nonsense: "I saw that Xiao He had little knowledge and was not good at school, so I intentionally supported him and did things that were hard on his heart. , this is beneficial to him, so why is he guilty?"
There is no other way, he can only say this. There are inspiring examples of hard work throughout the ages, such as Guan Yiwu, and they should not violate the rules.
"On the contrary, I feel that I am being cared about by a villain.
He emphasized the word 'villain' in particular, and glanced at Li Si vaguely.
