"Your Majesty, have you ever massacred a city?"
"Never!"
"Have you ever killed a meritorious minister?"
"Never!"
"Have you exterminated all the nobles of the Six Nations?"
"Never!"
"Then how would His Majesty dare to say that you are not merciful? How dare you say that you're not soft-hearted?"
"I'm a little confused! Could it be that I'm really too merciful?"
"Yes, His Majesty's biggest problem is that he is too merciful! If this problem did not change, Great Qin would perish!”
As soon as he finished speaking.
The court was silent.
-
Time went back to 15 minutes ago!
Thirty-five years after the first emperor.
Xianyang Palace, Qilin Palace.
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, who was dressed in a black and gold imperial robe, was sitting on the dragon throne.
The ministers stood on both sides.
" The world has just settled down," a scholarly young man in front said loudly." The people in the remote areas have yet to submit. The Confucian scholars are all reading and imitating Confucius 'words.”
"Now, Your Majesty is using harsh criminal laws to deal with them. I'm worried that the world will be unstable because of this. I hope Your Majesty will understand."
As he spoke, Ying Zheng's face grew darker and darker.
Ying Zheng had an unusual obsession with the pursuit of longevity.
However, some time ago.
Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng, who were originally searching for the elixir of longevity for Ying Zheng, could not find it.
They even mocked each other, criticized Ying Zheng, and spread rumors about Ying Zheng's ruthlessness everywhere, and fled because of it.
For this reason, the First Emperor arrested more than 460 alchemists related to Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng.
Today, the Imperial Court was here to discuss how to deal with this matter.
Although it was called a discussion, Ying Zheng had already decided to kill these four hundred and sixty people.
All the civil and military officials in the court were old foxes, so they naturally understood Ying Zheng's thoughts.
When Ying Zheng was in a rage, no one went back to touch his eyebrows.
However, there was one person who was different.
It was the person who spoke.
The one who spoke was Ying Zheng's eldest son, Fu Su.
And only he dared to speak out when Ying Zheng was already furious.
Fusu, who was heavily influenced by Confucianism, was full of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith.
How could a country only have benevolence and righteousness?
Especially at this time, the Qin Country had the remnants of the six countries ready to move while the Xiongnu and Bai Yue were eyeing them covetously.
You want to be merciful and expect the other party to put down his butcher knife?
Moreover, he was killing necromancers!
Even his own son didn't understand him!
Ying Zheng's heart was chilled to the bone. He suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at all the civil and military officials in the court.
However, at this moment, the confrontation between father and son actually made all the civil and military officials in the court not stand up for a moment.
They were all old foxes.
Although he knew that these people deserved to be killed, such a brutal thing was not something that scholars should persuade.
Who didn't want to leave a good reputation for themselves?
In any case, he still had to be killed. First Emperor, you were already tyrannical to begin with, so it wouldn't matter if you were a little more tyrannical.
Ying Zheng, who already knew Fu Su's character, gave a cold snort. Suddenly, he saw an extremely handsome young man in the court squinting his eyes.
Immediately, he was furious and said coldly,"Li You, you are about the same age as Fu Su. Do you think so too? Do you also think that I was wrong to kill these necromancers?”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Li Si's heart skipped a beat. He was curious as to why His Majesty called him Li You.
However, when he turned around, he saw Li You's hazy eyes.
His heart instantly turned cold, and he repeatedly winked at Li You.
The other ministers were gloating and ignoring all kinds of expressions on their faces.
The person named by Ying Zheng was Li Si's only son, Li You.
However, even though Li You had a handsome face, he was a famous silkpants of Great Qin.
With Li Si's identity, he could be said to have committed all kinds of evil.
Countless young women in Xianyang City had been teased by Li You.
Many people were furious but did not dare to say anything!
As for being able to enter the imperial court, it was only because of Li Si.
Just like that, he stood at the edge.
He was just a small official. He was simply useless.
And now, he was actually in a daze in the court.
And it was when Ying Zheng was about to explode.
If he didn't give a good answer, he would be completely disappointed.
Li You was not Fu Su, but Ying Zheng's son.
If he gave a bad answer, Ying Zheng, who was currently on the thorn in his side, might use it as an example.
At this moment, Li You was also stunned by Ying Zheng's question.
Recalling Ying Zheng's question, he said subconsciously,""No, Prince Fusu was wrong, but His Majesty was even more wrong!”
When Li You said the first sentence, Ying Zheng's face turned slightly better.
Although Li You had a bad reputation, at least he knew what he wanted to hear.
However, when he heard that it was not enough.
Ying Zheng's heart skipped a beat.'Are you going to criticize me?
And Ying Zheng's guess was right. The next sentence was directed at him.
Li Si was even more nervous.
Li Si was shocked when he heard Li You's words.
He immediately cupped his hands and said," Your Majesty, my son fell recently and hit his head. His thoughts are a little chaotic. Please punish him lightly!"”
Under such circumstances, he still stood up for Li You without caring about himself.
It could be seen how much Li Si doted on his son.
However, his f * cking brain had been touched. His brain was already filled with dirty things.
He was not a good person either.
From the looks of it, it didn't feel like he had been touched. It was obvious that he was courting death!
Wang Ben, Meng Yi, and the other generals were gloating.
The generals and civil officials were two different factions.
He had long been unhappy with Li Si, this hypocritical old man, and his son, who was a playboy.
Now, the opportunity had come.
Li You dared to offend His Majesty like this. Even if he didn't die, he would be skinned alive.
Ying Zheng gave a cold snort. He would not kill Li You just because of a single sentence.
After all, he was the only son of his beloved minister, Li Si.
But as an emperor, if he didn't do anything after being offended, he wouldn't have the dignity of an emperor.
Therefore, Ying Zheng didn't look at Li Si. Instead, he looked at Li You and said coldly,""You said I was wrong?"
"What a big mistake. Then tell me what I did wrong?”
"If you can't explain yourself today, even if you're Minister Li's only son, I'll still punish you for disrespect.”
Li You actually regretted it after saying that.
This wasn't the future generations thousands of years later. This was a feudal society.
Ying Zheng was the heavens!
He had actually said out his own thoughts, and even said that Ying Zheng was wrong, this was simply too much!
Just as Li You's expression had already changed to one of apprehension.
A mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
"Detected that the host risked his life to contradict the First Emperor. He is a man of steel, specially bound to the Admoniker System!”
"Host, please complete your first advice. After you complete it, you will receive a novice gift pack!”
[Hint: The greater the influence of the advice, the greater the reward!]”
