Ying Xi knew very well that he was already old.
However, he also saw the embarrassing situation of the Qin royal family. The ancestral land had fallen behind and was destined to become an abandoned son.
This trend is almost inevitable. Since the rise of Yingshu, the power of the ancestral land has been difficult to extend beyond Yongcheng.
Over the past few years, major matters in the empire have begun not to go to Yongcheng.
This is tantamount to the First Emperor and Ying Shu deliberately suppressing the ancestral land and limiting the power of the ancestral land to Yongcheng.
When Ancestral Land made trouble for Yingshu's return, although neither the First Emperor nor Yingshu took it seriously and did not make things difficult for Ancestral Land, troubles had already arisen between them.
The estrangement between them exists and is difficult to eliminate.
Judging from various current signs, the rise of Yingshu has become the mainstay of the empire, and the decline of the ancestral land has become inevitable.
Under such circumstances, Ying Xi knew that he had to make plans for the royal family, otherwise the ancestral land and clan would all fall, and the royal family would also follow.
What happened in the past will never be allowed to happen again. Of course, compared to the past and the present, there is still room for change.
After all, Ying Shu is a member of the Ying clan and a member of the royal family. In some matters, the existence of Ying Shu itself represents the interests of the royal family.
Before that, Ying Xi had the idea of inviting Ying Shu to come over, but at that time, Ying Shu was caught in a storm and was at the forefront of the storm.
Although Ying Shu is busy now, we happened to meet each other and we can indeed discuss something. Moreover, he also has some objections to the "Great Qin Empire's Secret Service Law" proposed by Ying Shu.
.......
"Zong Zheng is getting stronger and stronger. It's time to share the worries of the empire and His Majesty!" Ying Shu chuckled, complimented Ying Xi, and said: "What's more, only Zong Zheng can suppress this clan."
"In the past few years, in the Qin Empire, the royal family has caused very few troubles. This is all due to Zong Zheng."
"Haha, I know how many brushes I have!" Ying Xi laughed loudly and said meaningfully, "It's important for people to know themselves. I have lived to this age and I have already seen through it."
"Your Majesty, please come inside!"
"Zongzheng please!"
Ying Shu smiled. He only believed one-third of Ying Xi's words. He did not think that this person was a simple person.
After all, this is a Lord who once participated in the fight for the throne and after the failure, was able to escape unscathed.
At this point, you can see how terrifying this person is.
He and Ying Xi came to the living room together. Ying Shu sat down and took a sip of tea: "Zong Zheng invited me over. What are your instructions?"
After taking a sip of tea, Ying Xi looked up at Ying Shu, chuckled, and said, "Your Majesty, this Great Qin Empire's Chief of Staff directly ranks the common people of the world, as well as the high-ranking officials, nobles, and even the royal family as the head of Guizhou."
"At the beginning, His Majesty only meant to call the common people in the world the head of Guizhou."
"Isn't this a bit excessive?"
"Once the news gets out, I'm afraid the entire empire will be dissatisfied. After all, classes have always existed!"
Taking a sip of tea, Ying Shu stared at Ying Xi and said word by word: "Royal family, what's wrong?"
"Aren't you also part of the empire?"
"Everyone is qualified to object to this matter, but the royal family is not qualified!"
"The Great Qin Empire's Chief of Staff, this is to stabilize the empire, win over the people, and ensure the long-term peace and stability of the empire."
"You must know that the interests of the royal family are closely related to the empire from beginning to end!"
"Only when the empire gets better and better, the royal family will get better and better. Zong Zheng, I really can't find any reason for the imperial family's opposition, or the reason for the royal family's opposition!"
Having said this, Ying Shu looked at Ying Xi and said word by word: "Only when the empire lasts forever can the royal family live a good life!"
"Even if we lose our power several generations later, we will not worry about our survival."
"But if the empire fails to win over the people, like Zhou and Shang, the royal family will be killed and reduced to slaves, farmers..."
"Qianshou is just a common title. It treats the common people, the royal family, and the nobles in the world, and they are also one of the living beings in the world."
After pondering for a long time, Ying Xi hesitated for a moment, and then turned to Ying Shu: "All living beings in the world are heads of Guizhou, so how do the royal family get along with themselves?"
"The emperor is the first head of the empire, and so is the royal family."
"The royal family is not more noble than the common people in the world. The more resources they control, the greater the responsibility."
"The royal family should think of the empire and the common people of the world, and let the people of the world know that the Qin royal family has them in their hearts."
After a long silence, Ying Shu raised his head and said, "Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?"
"Either you will be admired forever, or you will die!"
Ying Shu did not avoid it, but looked directly at Ying Xi: "But, I have no choice!"
"As a member of the Ying family, as a member of the royal family, we must lay the foundation for the empire!"
"Zong Zheng, as long as the head of Guizhou in the world is still there, the surname Ying will be the royal family, and all high-ranking officials and nobles, as well as civil servants in the world, can be replaced."
"But if in this world, there is no such thing as the head of Guizhou, will the surname Ying still belong to the royal family?"
.......
Having said this, Ying Shu drank all the tea in one gulp and walked out of Zongzheng Prison.
He believed that the reform of Zong Zhengjian would not happen overnight. The most important thing was to make them change their minds.
This is the hardest part!
Watching Ying Shu leave, Ying Xi remained silent for a long time. He was still a little unwilling in his heart, but he also knew that Ying Shu was right.
No matter what, the royal family and the empire are one, and he has already felt the same during the changes that year.
It is precisely because of this lesson that Ying Xi will continue to get closer to Ying Shu and the First Emperor, striving to improve the status of the clan again.
In an empire, the status of the clan is awkward and it has no influence at all on the court. It has completely become a decoration.
This is unusual!
"Zong Zheng, what do you think?" Seeing the person coming, Ying Xi took out the "Qin Empire Sikou Law" and handed it to the other party: "Take a look, this is what is being discussed in Zhangtai Palace."
"It was Lord Min who suggested it!"
The visitor took the "Great Qin Empire Sikou Law" and read it. After a long time, he said: "This law is extremely complete and can be implemented."
"Although the requirements are somewhat new, they do not have much impact on the interests of the royal family. This matter is beneficial to the empire, and your Majesty will definitely implement it!"
"At this time, Supervisor Zong Zheng should stand up and support, not oppose!"
Hearing this, Ying Xi looked at the visitor with a solemn expression and said, "Sixth brother, but you also know how much turmoil this law will cause once it is implemented!"
"All living beings in the world are heads of Guizhou!"
"Minjun told me that Your Majesty is the first Guizhou leader in the empire..."
