"I'm afraid that His Majesty wants to use the law to establish his authority and warn all the civil and military officials in the court that some thoughts should never appear and must be taken as a warning.”
"At the same time, I'll deter the remaining evil forces of the Six Nations who are hiding in the dark!”
As one of the few insiders, Li Si's thoughts were much better than most of the civil and military officials. He could not hide the awe in his heart.
"If I'm not mistaken, His Majesty doesn't want to attack the other princes. Instead, he wants to tell the officials through Huhai that they should never overstep their duties.”
Wang Jian, who had spent most of his life in the imperial court, had the most likely scenario. His aged face was filled with shock.
"The first thing that every ruler thought of after ascending to the throne was undoubtedly to rope in the courtiers. His Majesty actually wants to establish his might with the law today!”
This was the first time Wei Liao had seen Great Qin's new Emperor's extraordinary methods, and he had seen many big scenes before, so he deeply sighed.
“………”
Noticing the stunned Wen Wu, Ying Che didn't have any reaction. He no longer paid attention to Huhai who was begging for mercy.
"Sixth brother, you can't kill me, you can't kill me, you'll bear the eternal infamy.”
Knowing that there was no other way out, Huhai gritted his teeth and said a method that would make others fear him.
Although it would offend Sixth Brother, it was better than being beheaded.
" Nineteenth Prince Huhai did not want to serve his country. Instead, he colluded with Zhao Gao to rebel and attempted to tamper with the First Emperor's edict. This is a great crime for the country…"
"Begin the execution!"
Seeing that Tian Zi didn't say anything, Zhang Han immediately opened a bamboo scroll and read it out loud.
"What?!"
Huhai looked at Sixth Brother, who was unmoved, and his face was full of shock. He could not accept the reality in front of him for a moment.
Could it be that Sixth Brother, who had just ascended to the throne, did not care about his reputation at all?？？
"Your Majesty, you must not do this. If you don't rule with benevolence now, how can you rule the world in the future?”
Seeing that Tian Zi wasn't joking, Wang Wan quickly stood up and began to persuade him.
"Rule the country by law, and the world will be stable. If the law is not strict, how can there be justice!”
Perhaps he didn't agree with that statement, but Ying Che looked at Chen Qingzhi and said.
Confucianism wasn't completely useless, and it had its own advantages. However, Legalism could be used to balance some of its shortcomings.
In short, Confucian skin and bones!
"Drag him away!"
Under Chen Qingzhi's command, two white-robed soldiers split up, one on the left and one on the right, easily holding up Wang Wan, who still wanted to persuade him.
"Your Majesty, listen to my advice. Allow me to finish my words, Your Majesty!”
"As Great Qin's officials, why don't you go and persuade them?”
In the process of dragging him away, not only did Wang Wan not give up, she even shouted at the officials, trying to find more help to persuade the emperor.
However, to everyone's surprise, none of the officials in the court stepped forward. They all remained silent.
" Rule the country by law, the world will be stable…"
As the 16-word mantra echoed in her mind, Meng Tian's body shook. Her understanding of Tian Zi deepened.
Until now, from the usual attitude at the beginning, it had quietly changed to true loyalty.
"First, it was the Nineteenth Prince's rebellion, and then it was Great Qin's idea of ruling the country by law.”
Looking at Wang Wan who was still shouting and shouting along the way, Wang Jian still decided not to step forward in the end, retracting the steps that he was just about to take.
"Great Qin is a country founded on laws, so it cannot be abandoned.”
Wei Liao couldn't help but look at Tian Zi a few more times. He couldn't see through a person and muttered to himself.
The Son of Heaven's style was brutal, but his starting point was to rule the country by law. He followed the ideas of the First Emperor and the Five Dynasties. He was also a wise emperor.
“………”
Seeing that Li Si, Wang Jian, and the other important officials were silent and did not even object, the other officials wisely remained silent.
"I regret it, I regret it!"
Looking at Wang Wan who was dragged away and all the officials in the court who did not say a word, Huhai lost all hope. His heart was like dead ashes.
He had basically tried all the methods he could think of. He had even offended Sixth Brother directly, but in the end, he still could not escape death.
"Puchi!"
Near the edge of Weishui River, Huhai's body was like a broken string, spraying out a large amount of blood.
Then, the head that rolled on the ground had a pair of eyes filled with regret.
Perhaps, if he could do it all over again, even with the great temptation of the throne, he would never dare to go against his sixth brother again.
"His style is decisive and decisive. He doesn't even have the slightest leeway!”
Looking at the head rolling on the ground and the lifeless body, the civil and military officials could not help but feel a chill in their hearts.
"This is a true emperor…"
Even though he already knew that the Son of Heaven used the law to establish his might, Wang Jian still couldn't help but feel shocked. He seemed to see the cold and merciless nature of an emperor on the Son of Heaven.
Compared to the First Emperor who had passed away, this decisiveness was even more than the First Emperor's. It even seemed like the student had surpassed the master.
"If the members of the royal family have already met such a fate, then anyone who dares to rebel or have any disloyalty will definitely have an extremely miserable ending.”
"At the very least, he will end up the same as Zhao Gao.”
After watching the scene of Huhai's decapitation and Tian Zi remaining unmoved, the iron-blooded soldier Meng Tian was also stunned. She felt an inexplicable pressure from Tian Zi.
"It was used to kill rebels on the day of the ascension. In the long river of history, it can be said to be unprecedented.”
Li Si let out a deep breath and calmed himself down before letting out a sigh that represented respect.
The first thing a ruler who did not have a civil and military team or personal prestige would do when he ascended the throne was to seize power. Today had completely refreshed the concept of the past.
"While using the law to establish his might, he also took the opportunity to establish his initial prestige and establish the stability of the throne.”
"First Emperor, can you tell me what kind of successor you found?”
Wei Liao, who was also a disciple of Guigu 'zi and had always been calm in the face of change, was facing mental pressure for the first time, and he felt a little breathless.
“………”
Just like Li Si, Meng Tian, and the other important officials, the rest of the civil and military officials fell into an even more silent state.
Not to mention making a sound, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that he would follow in the footsteps of the Nineteenth Prince Huhai.
“………”
It was not just the officials and officials of the court, but also the imperial guards of the Southern Yamen, the white-robed soldiers, the imperial guards outside, and the people who had come to watch the coronation ceremony.
They deeply understood that Great Qin's laws, from the nobles to the commoners, could not be easily violated.
