"Li Tingwei revised this new law, which coincides with mine. Minor crimes will be lightly punished, and serious crimes will be severely punished. This is how our Daqin's new law should be!"
After Zhao Hao read the bamboo slips in his hand, he couldn't help but smile and praise Li Si.
Li Si smiled noncommittally, and then looked at Ying Zheng, only to see Ying Zheng's brows tightening, as if there was an inexplicable emotion brewing.
"Father, do you have any concerns?"
Li Si didn't dare to ask Ying Zheng directly, but Zhao Hao didn't care so much and asked Ying Zheng directly.
"This new law is so friendly to the head of Guizhou, will it cause dissatisfaction among the powerful and lead to resistance to the new law?" Ying Zheng asked solemnly.
After all, he was born into a noble family, and the first thing he had to consider was the interests of the nobles. Since ancient times, reforms that touched the interests of the nobles would not succeed smoothly.
Even Shang Yang's reform was only successful after Shang Yang's death.
After hearing this, Zhao Hao smiled and said: "Father, times have changed. This Qin Law is not only a criminal law for the head of Guizhou, but also a special law for court officials and even various industries."
"For example, Qin Law is the general law, but in addition to the general law, there are also laws such as Administrative Law, Civil Law, Commercial Law, and Labor Law that specifically target certain items."
"If nothing else, let's just talk about the Administrative Law. It is mainly to standardize the administrative responsibilities and scope of administration of officials at all levels. However, the old version of Qin Law only has crimes such as corruption, rebellion, laziness, fraud, deception and false reporting. Isn't this Is it the same as criminal law?”
"This and this"
Li Si's eyes widened and he seemed a little confused: "Our Qin Dynasty has a censor to supervise all officials, so why do we need to modify special laws?"
"Li Tingwei, even if the imperial censor supervises hundreds of officials, they do so according to Qin law. But Li Tingwei, think about it, what is the difference between the Administrative Law and the Criminal Law?"
"the difference?"
"Let me tell you this, the "Administrative Law" stipulates the behavior of officials and limits their power. Except for what is stipulated in the "Administrative Law", they can do nothing else. However, the "Criminal Law" is exactly the opposite. Except for Qin You cannot do what is stipulated in the law, but you can do everything else. Does Li Tingwei understand the consequences of this?"
"Except for what is stipulated in the Administrative Law, nothing else can be done."
Li Si murmured to himself, then his eyes widened and he suddenly looked at Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng seemed to understand something and smiled knowingly.
In the past, when censors impeached officials, although there were many crimes, the number of crimes was fixed. As long as they did not do anything that violated Qin's laws, they could do anything else.
Once the power of officials is limited to a certain circle, the officials will be restricted from doing anything outside the circle.
After understanding what Zhao Hao meant, Li Si and Ying Zheng looked at each other, and they suddenly felt like they were seeing the blue sky through the clouds.
There is a huge difference between what you can only do and what you cannot do!
They really didn't expect that Zhao Hao could come up with such a perfect idea, which was of great significance to the supervisory officials and even the nobles.
This guy is simply amazing!
Li Si almost worshiped Zhao Hao. He admired Zhao Hao so much.
When he established a new official system based on the "Three Provinces and Six Ministries" and the "Three Officials and Nine Ministers" system, he was thinking about how to restrict the power of officials and prevent local officials from becoming bigger and stronger and losing control.
And Zhao Hao's set of special laws directly limits the power of officials to the scope allowed by the court, which is simply not good!
This setting was not only thought up by someone who knew how to check and balance power, but also someone who knew how to maneuver, so he could come up with such a perfect restriction strategy.
As a court lieutenant and minister of state affairs of the Qin Dynasty, Li Si admired and also wondered whether the First Emperor would choose Zhao Hao as his successor. If Zhao Hao was indeed chosen, it would really be a blessing to the Qin Dynasty.
It's a pity that even though he had expectations in his heart, Li Si didn't dare to express them in front of the First Emperor. He just said with emotion: "I thought I knew the laws of Qin quite well, but now I feel ashamed after hearing the young master's words. Take it seriously." As the young master said, times have changed!"
"hehe."
Zhao Hao smiled noncommittally and said: "Wei Ting does not need to depreciate himself. I am just proposing an idea. It depends on the decision of Wen Ting and my father."
When Ying Zheng heard this, he glanced at Zhao Hao with a somewhat complicated expression and said, "When did you come up with this method?"
Hearing this, Li Si was also very curious. It would take a lot of effort to come up with such a perfect setting!
After all, he had been thinking about making the "Three Gongs and Nine Princes" for nearly ten years.
However, Zhao Hao's answer was far beyond his expectation.
Zhao Hao rubbed his nose and said with some embarrassment: "I just came up with it unintentionally when I was sleeping and dreaming."
"What!?"
Li Si's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
Damn it!
Why don't you be so exaggerated?
Can you come up with such a perfect setting in a dream? Could it be that Duke Zhou entrusted you with a dream?
But Duke Zhou doesn’t understand either!
At this moment, Li Si couldn't help but have the urge to die. He felt that the gap between people was so big!
But Ying Zheng waved his hand in a funny way: "It doesn't matter, no matter how you come up with it, as long as it is useful to our Great Qin, it is a good idea!"
When he heard Zhao Hao talking about the dream, he immediately understood that it was another missionary from the person in the dream.
He was already familiar with Zhao Hao's miraculous experience of learning about Pepsi in a dream.
It’s just that Li Si hasn’t recovered from the shock.
"Father, it is not impossible for our Great Qin to reuse the officials of the Six Kingdoms, but the most important thing is to limit their power to a certain range. In this way, even if they have second thoughts, they can't do anything!" Zhao Hao said with a smile. .
Ying Zheng nodded with a smile: "My son is right. If this new law is to be changed, it must be changed. Limit their power and let them serve the court wholeheartedly!"
"The idea proposed by the young master must be completed as soon as possible after the old minister returns!" Li Si said solemnly.
"This revision of the Qin Law is no less than building the Great Wall and Afang Palace. Li Tingwei must not rush it, just take it slow!"
Zhao Hao smiled and gave instructions.
Li Si cupped his hands and said, "Young master, you're welcome."
Although Zhao Hao didn't have much interaction with him, he was really convinced in his heart.
When Ying Zheng saw this, he also showed a satisfied smile: "Today's matter has been finalized. When Tingwei changes the law again, I will promulgate it to the world in one piece!"
"My lord, I obey the order."
Li Si saluted respectfully and then slowly retreated.
After Li Si left, Ying Zheng turned his attention to Zhao Hao and said with a smile: "You're a kid who knows how to stir up troubles. I heard that you detained two Mohist disciples and let those Mohist assassins go?"
"ah?"
Zhao Hao was surprised, and then looked around.
"What are you looking at?"
"See if there's a camera on you!"
"What camera?"
"that is."
Zhao Hao was about to explain, but then he realized and scratched his head and said, "I really can't hide anything from my father."
"If you want to hide it from me, I'm afraid I won't be able to detect it." Ying Zheng's heavy and majestic voice slowly sounded: "Tell me, what are you thinking?"
Zhao Hao was silent for a while and replied softly: "I just want to resolve the civil strife as soon as possible and let Daqin develop stably for a few years. Originally, I didn't want to deal with these things, but now that they have found me, I have to deal with them completely. To avoid endless troubles."
"What will happen to you if Chu Mo doesn't cooperate with you?" Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes.
"My son will make Chu Mo disappear forever."
"Ah!"
Ying Zheng snorted and sneered: "Do you think my father has never thought of dealing with them? But they are more than just a Mo family headquarters!"
"Of course I know, but I learned skills from the barbarians to control the barbarians. The Mohist rangers have the survival methods of the Mohist rangers, and I have the methods of dealing with them!" Zhao Hao said sternly.
"You want to form an army to fight against the rangers?" Ying Zheng frowned.
Zhao Hao tilted his head: "Father, are you worried that your son will break the law?"
"You!" Ying Zheng glared at Zhao Hao angrily and said, "With this brain, he may be able to do many earth-shattering things in the future. With an army, do you understand what this means?"
"Since the father is not at ease, then forget it. I should study honestly and continue to be my salted fish prince!" Zhao Hao shrugged and said indifferently.
Ying Zheng glanced at him and shook his head in amusement: "Let my father think about this matter again. It's not that I can't trust you, but that my father doesn't want you to deal with the military too early!"
"I didn't originally want to deal with the military. I was forced to do it. In fact, I miss the old days!"
"hehe."
Ying Zheng smiled and didn't say much on this topic. He pondered for a moment and then, as if thinking of something, said, "What do you think of Zhao Gao?"
"From the bottom of my heart, I don't like this person," Zhao Hao replied frankly.
Ying Zheng was very satisfied with Zhao Hao's current state. He grabbed a date and threw it to him. He said calmly: "Zhao Gao has served his father for nearly twenty years. He is afraid of his father and respects his father. Just keep him, if one day I am no longer afraid, my father will kill him!"
hiss.
Zhao Hao couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and dropped the dates he had just received.
The ancients do not deceive me!
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger!
He did not expect that the First Emperor would express his thoughts about Zhao Gao so frankly.
Could it be that my father noticed my hostility towards Zhao Gao?
It shouldn’t be! Except for Fusu.
I wipe it! This stupid elder brother!
"Let's not talk about Zhao Gao. Let's talk about how to deal with you!"
When Ying Zheng saw that Zhao Hao had dropped the dates, he felt a little funny in his heart, but said calmly.
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Didn't you say let me go?"
"I said I would spare you the death penalty, but I didn't say let you go!"
Ying Zheng glared at Zhao Hao, and then pretended to be suspicious: "I heard that you boasted to your brother that you could repair Zhaoyang Palace in two or three months?"
"How can this be bragging? I never talk big!"
"Oh?" Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and then he suddenly raised his voice: "According to my decree, Zhao Hao is appointed as the supervisor of Zhaoyang Palace and is responsible for supervising the construction of Zhaoyang Palace. The construction period is three months!"
"?"
A small black question mark slowly appeared on Zhao Hao's forehead, and he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
Good guy!
I am your biological son!
Is this how you deceive your own son? !
