The sky gradually darkened.
Since Lin Yang didn't deliberately make the three of them drunk today, they didn't get as drunk as last time.
When night fell, the Golden Guards at the door brought them back.
Before he left, Old Zheng gave Lin Yang three cages of pigeons.
If he needed to find them in the future, he could just use the corresponding pigeons to send a letter.
The Golden Guards picked up the three of them and helped Lin Yang clean up the mess in the courtyard.
He asked the Golden Guards to help clean up the courtyard.
In all of Great Qin, only Old Zheng and Lin Yang had such treatment.
……
……
The next morning, in the Qilin Palace of Xianyang Palace.
Old Zheng wore a black Jun Xuan crown and sat on the nine-tier dragon platform in the center of the Qilin Palace.
There were dozens of ministers sitting on both sides.
In the Great Qin Empire, all the officials were seated and did not need to stand to discuss matters.
At this moment, Meng Yi was sitting at the front of all the officials, beside an important official with a goatee.
This person was Right Prime Minister Li Si!
As for Wang Ben…
Although he was conferred the title of Tongwu Marquis, he did not have a real position and could not participate in court discussions.
"Your Majesty, I have some doubts about what Your Majesty has said.”
Right Prime Minister Li Si stood up.
"Oh? Are you suspecting me?"
Elder Zheng narrowed his eyes.
As the Right Prime Minister, Li Si was naturally deeply doted on and trusted by him.
Back then, Li Si had learned the art of emperors from Xun Zi.
After learning, he entered the Qin Dynasty as an official.
Not only did it play a huge role in his cause of destroying the six countries.
After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, a legal system was established.
That was why he was conferred the title of Prime Minister.
However, that was then and that was now.
His impression of Li Si was no longer the same as before.
The reason was exactly what Lin Yang had said after drinking.
The reason why Great Qin had become a stranger was because Zhao Gao and Li Si had stirred up trouble after his death.
As the saying goes.
It is better to believe that it exists than not.
Regardless of whether Lin Yang's drunken words were true or false.
Anyway, there was nothing wrong with taking precautions first.
Li Si quickly lowered his head when he heard Elder Zheng's question.
"I wouldn't dare. It's just that the Lin Yang that Your Majesty mentioned is really remarkable, and I'm a little shocked.”
"Everything I've said can be verified by you." Old Zheng said expressionlessly.”
Meng Yi understood. He stood up and turned to face the officials."Just as Your Majesty said, I saw what happened to Lin Yang with my own eyes.”
"Other than that, General Wang Ben is also present.”
"If you don't believe me, you can go to the Wang family to ask.”
After saying that, Meng Yi sat back down on his futon.
"This…Condensing water into ice is truly an immortal technique.”
"8,000 catties per mu…This is the heavens protecting Great Qin!”
"I wonder if Celestial Lin Yang is married. I have a daughter in my family…"
"Your daughter is as fierce as a big worm. Don't have any ideas about immortals.”
"What did you say? I think you're just jealous!"
"Nonsense!"
……
"Did all of you hear that?"
Looking at the whispering and chaotic officials below, Old Zheng revealed a satisfied smile.
This was the effect he wanted.
He had long been unhappy with this group of people who were usually empty.
However, it was a hindrance to his status, so he could not scold and punish him for no reason.
Actually, Old Zheng was not as tyrannical as the rumors said.
It could even be said that many of Great Qin's laws were quite humane.
Just like what was recorded in the " Yao Law "
The emperor issued a levy in the middle of the year, but the levy was not carried out due to lack of money, and the property was only two times that of the previous year. Three to five days out of date, the price of the funeral; Six to ten days out of date, a shield of property; After ten days, he had a whole armor of property. Water rain, in addition to the rise.
The general idea was that if the Great Qin's corvee could not go because of something, they should pay two sets of armor as compensation.
Three to five days later, he would be scolded, six to ten days later, he would pay a shield, and ten days later, he would pay a set of armor.
If the journey was delayed by heavy rain, they would be exempted from punishment.
From this, it could be seen that the Old Government and Great Qin's laws were not that harsh.
Even Old Zheng himself had never killed a truly virtuous official.
He also listened carefully to useful advice.
Seeing that the time was right, Elder Zheng began to issue orders.
The general meaning was that the officials could not disturb Lin Yang for nothing.
He could not disturb Lin Yang's "cultivation".
Originally, he had wanted to give Lin Yang a promotion due to his contribution.
However, because of Lin Yang's identity as a merchant, it caused the majority of the people in the court to resist.
Great Qin's laws clearly stated this.
Merchants can't be officials!
In addition, Old Zheng was indeed afraid that letting Lin Yang enter the court as an official would destroy the delicate relationship between him and Lin Yang.
Therefore, this matter was left unsettled.
It was changed to exemption from Lin Yang's business tax.
However, Old Zheng did not know.
It was just a tax exemption, which made him so jealous that he almost fainted in the toilet.
