After hearing Ying Zheng's order, Wang Jian and Zhang Han, who had just been found, looked a little sad, and even Li Si's face was filled with emotion.
Is this a matter of pardoning the door god?
No, that's not actually the case.
This was an imperial edict that completely vindicated Bai Qi, and it was also an edict that cleansed Bai Qi of his grievances. It was also an edict that made the generals of the dynasty feel filled with emotion.
Who is Wu'an Jun Baiqi?
He had made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty and won the battle of Changping, which laid the foundation for the unification of the Qin Dynasty, so that no country in the Central Plains could resist the people of the Qin Dynasty.

A person destined to remain in the history books of Great Qin.
What kind of image does such a person appear in normal times?
Appears as a villain.
The King of Qin had no choice but to kill Bai Qi under the slanderous words of some people and his own considerations.
The subsequent King of Qin did not defend the Qin God of War. Even the current First Emperor only recognized Bai Qi's achievements.
But admitting it is easy, doing it or not is difficult.
Nowadays, many of Wu Anjun's soldiers, those who sacrificed their lives back then, and Wuan Jun's descendants and heirs all have no place to return and stability.
Lord Wu An's title was not inherited by his children.
Even his children did not enjoy the slightest benefit, it was all disadvantages. His son and daughter are still living a life where they cannot even afford to eat.
No one dared to mention this matter, because the matter of Lord Wu An was decided by King Zhuang Xiang himself.
No one would try many times to make the emperor change his mind and restore Bai Qi's reputation because of a dead person.
But now, Chen Ke just used a so-called "Spring Festival Couplet" and "Goalkeeper" to easily resolve this matter.
Wang Jian took a deep look at Chen Ke. He didn't know whether Chen Ke's behavior was intentional or unintentional.
Although Da Qin seems to be stable on the surface now, and its internal and external troubles have been cleared up, it is at this time that things that were stable in the past will become unstable.
Such as the military.
Although most of Da Qin's troops were the Qin troops who fought bravely back then, and the main force was even old Qin people, the incident with Lord Wu An did have a certain impact on the morale of the army.
In the past, when the army still needed to fight hard, and military achievements and even some wars could still provide benefits to the army, the army was indeed stable.
Now, the Xiongnu in northern Xinjiang have been pacified, and the internal and external rebels from the six countries have been put to death.
After they have some time off, will these people have any thoughts about what happened back then? In fact, you don’t need to think too much about this. You can get the answer with your feet.
Most definitely.
Even Wang Jian had heard some rumors in recent days, but before he had time to react, he was dealt with by Chen Ke first.
Ying Zheng put his hands behind his back and glanced at Chen Ke, as if he didn't notice anything: "Let's go, Chen Ke?"
"You have a wonderful and colorful sunset."
As he walked inside, he said: "You should have some other ideas and customs about this "evening day" and "New Year", right?" "
Ying Zheng was slightly curious, and sighed and said, "I'm quite curious as to what other weird ideas you have in your mind."
Chen Ke quickly stepped forward and followed Ying Zheng's footsteps, with a flattering smile on his face.
"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise."
"Celebrating the New Year is actually for happiness. Whether it's us or those Guizhou leaders, it's all for this, isn't it?"
"The New Year is actually to give Guizhou and its people hope for life, and also to loosen the bow of Da Qin. "
"If the bow string is too tight, it will break. In the same way, if the leaders of Guizhou have no hope, how can they live a normal life and create better value for Da Qin?"
Chen Ke said with emotion: "Therefore, when envoys to the head of Guizhou and the people, you need to consider many aspects. If it is for the long-term national interests, you must not be able to catch all the benefits and force the head of Guizhou to the point of desperation."
Li Si, Wang Jian, Zhang Han, Fu Su, Hu Hai and others looked at each other and walked beside Ying Zheng, listening silently.
In fact, Li Si could hear Chen Ke's bias from Chen Ke's words. Chen Ke's bias was actually more like Confucian thought.
For example, "benevolence", such as Mencius' "benevolent government".
Just now, Chen Ke seemed to be saying that being kind to the people was to enable them to better create benefits for the Qin Dynasty, but in fact he was saying that monarchs and rulers should implement benevolent governance.
Everyone present heard this.
Li Si glanced at Chen Ke meaningfully, with a look of emotion in his eyes. He did not expect that Chen Ke turned out to be a Confucian person at heart.
Just looking at some of his past methods, I really can't tell.
When Ying Zheng heard Chen Ke's words, he also smiled and asked: "Chen Ke, your statement is quite novel."
"At first glance, it sounds like Confucianism, such as Confucius's benevolence and Meng Ke's benevolent government. But why do I feel that there is a flavor of Legalism in it?"
"Isn't this what Han Fei said in disguise, "The monarch must use power, laws, and intimidation to overwhelm his subjects"? "
When Ying Zheng's words came to light, everyone present was a little surprised.
Especially Li Si.
He looked at Chen Ke and went through many thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't see how this sentence reflected this meaning.
Could it be that His Majesty deliberately distorted Chen Ke's meaning? What was the purpose?
Li Si looked at Chen Ke, wanting to know Chen Ke's reaction.
Chen Ke didn't react at all. He even stood there with a smile on his face, looking like a wisp of wind, clean and free.
Li Si lowered his head.
Chen Ke spoke at this time, with a little calmness in his voice: "Your Majesty, what you said surprised me."
He smiled and said: "I come from Mohism, and have dabbled in Confucianism, Farming, Legalism, and even Taoism. I don't know what I belong to."
"Your Majesty said that I am a Confucian on the surface, but in fact I am a Legalist. This makes me feel frightened."
Chen Ke said with emotion: "Actually, if I have to say it, I belong to the "Chen" family. "
His voice became serious at this time: "As a minister, you should consider your Majesty, think about your Majesty's thoughts, and be concerned about your Majesty's concerns."
"Xinxin thinks of His Majesty and Great Qin with all his heart."
"This is my so-called school."
Chen Ke looked at Ying Zheng, his eyes were frank and his whole body was sincere: "My heart can be revealed by the heaven and the earth, and can be seen by the sun and the moon."
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke, and Chen Ke looked at Ying Zheng. Their eyes looked at each other.
Suddenly, Ying Zheng smiled heartily: "It's just a joke, why are you so serious?"
He shook his head and smiled: "New Year's Eve, according to your words, this is a festive day. There is no emperor or ministers here."
"There is only one old man."
With that said, Ying Zheng pointed at Wang Jian, Li Si, Fu Su and others and said: "There is only one old man and another old man and another old man and his child."
As Ying Zheng walked, he looked at the scenery in the yard: "Your yard is quite nice."
He looked at the scenery in the distance and said to Han Tan beside him: "I remember that the title deed of this yard has not been sent to Chen Ke?"
"Find a time tomorrow and have someone deliver the things."
Han Tan bent down slightly and agreed.
Li Si raised his head and looked at Chen Ke standing there, with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Has this level passed?
Wang Jian also breathed a sigh of relief, mainly because Chen Ke had just obtained such good news for the army. If something happened to Chen Ke at this time, he would have to help.
But this issue is too important, and it will affect the emperor's sensitive heart if he can't say it.
Ying Zheng was sitting casually in the courtyard. There were many plum blossoms planted in the courtyard. The plum blossoms were located in the courtyard and decorated the courtyard, giving it a "proud and cold" feeling.
Of course, plum blossoms at this time had not yet become an image of a popular festival for readers.
At this time, the "pine trees" and "cypress trees" that show the integrity of Confucian scholars are still "pine trees" and "cypress trees". As Confucius said, "When the year is cold, you will know that the pines and cypresses will wither."
"Chen Ke, you guys, sit down."
Ying Zheng asked everyone to sit down and looked at Chen Ke with interest, as if he wanted to continue the topic just now.
"You said before that there are many other kinds of fun to have during the Chinese New Year. What kind of fun? Tell me."
It's not that Ying Zheng wants to get some entertainment measures out of Chen Ke's hands, it's mainly because in winter, even the monarch doesn't have much to do for fun.
In this era, besides listening to music, we just watch dancing.
And day after day, there are just a few dances - of course, the most important thing when watching dance is not to watch the dance, but to watch the beauties and what you like to watch.
But the problem is that Ying Zheng is not obsessed with this. Even in Ying Zheng's harem, most of the daughters of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms who were captured after the fall of the Six Kingdoms are a symbol, showing that this country has become Integrate into Da Qin.
He himself is not very interested in these.
Therefore, finding something to do for yourself in spring is what Ying Zheng wants to do most right now.
Chen Ke was not in a hurry or panic, as if nothing happened just now, and then said: "Your Majesty, speaking of the fun of the New Year, the biggest one is actually the "fireworks". "
fireworks?
This is a new term.
Are they flowers like smoke?
Ying Zheng frowned slightly: "Are there any flowers that can bloom in winter?"
"Even if it can bloom, how can it float like smoke?"
"This is really strange."
Hearing Ying Zheng's curiosity, Li Si couldn't help but said: "Chen Fengchang, what are the fireworks you are talking about?"
"Why don't I sound like a flower?"
Wang Jian also looked a little strange: "I have traveled all over the country, passing through countries big and small. There is no place in the Central Plains that I have not been to."
"How come I don't know that there is a kind of flower in this world that is like smoke?"
A few of the least knowledgeable people said that they did not know such a thing, and the rest of the people naturally nodded in agreement, saying that they had never heard of this kind of flower.
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke and squinted his eyes slightly: "Chen Ke?"
Li Si, Wang Jian, Zhang Han and others all looked at Chen Ke, expressing their curiosity.
Chen Ke met the many eyes and smiled immediately: "Your Majesty, these fireworks are not a kind of flower."
"Is it his material..."
Chen Ke touched his chin and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember something, the thing that Lu Sheng researched before?"
Lu Sheng?
The expressions of everyone present changed slightly, obviously remembering what Chen Ke said.
That thing, just a little bit, can kill everyone.
Fusu couldn't hold it back and asked, "Teacher, are you talking about explosives? Explosives can be used to make fireworks? What's the truth?"
"Why have I never heard of it?"
Chen Ke curled his lips and was about to subconsciously stab Fusu, but he suddenly realized that elders like Ying Zheng and Wang Jian were also there, and they didn't know...
If he mocked Fusu, wouldn't he also mock these people?
He swallowed some of his ridiculing words and just said: "Of course you don't know about this thing. It's normal not to know. Didn't the explosives just appear?"
Chen Ke said almost without any thought: "I read in a book that fireworks are made of explosives and can fly somewhere in the sky."
"After it explodes in the sky, it will scatter and take shape, like a flower."
"But because it is not a normal flower, and after the explosive explodes, it will turn into a plume of smoke and scatter in all directions."
"Hence, it's called "Fireworks." "
Chen Ke smacked his lips, as if thinking of some memories from the past, and kept sighing: "The Spring Festival with fireworks is the Spring Festival."
"This is just fireworks, there are also "temple fairs" and "visiting relatives". The rest starts from the 23rd until the 16th day of the first lunar month of the new year. It is all rest. In a year, these 23 days of rest are nearly ten A winter. "
"There are all kinds of entertainment activities, plus non-stop fireworks and firecrackers, friends gather together and spend this rare time happily."
"This is the Spring Festival, Your Majesty."
"The Spring Festival is for rest. You can spend it however you want."
"As long as you feel comfortable, so what if you celebrate the Spring Festival alone? It will still be a happy Spring Festival."
Ying Zheng glanced at Chen Ke and said nothing.
Instead, Fusu suddenly said: "Hahahahahaha, that's it."
"Teacher, what I want to celebrate the Spring Festival is to come to the teacher for dinner, and then eat up all the delicious food in the teacher's house."
"Then is this the Spring Festival that I am happy for?"
Chen Ke rolled his eyes, looked at Fusu and said, "Of course, if that's what you want."
At this time, not only Fu Su, but also Wang Jian burst into laughter.
"That's it, that's it."
"Then I'm just like Fusu, wanting to eat up everything in your mansion."
"so."
"Boy Chen Ke, hurry up and take out all the delicious food in your house!"
