The sky gradually darkened.
Today, because Su Yu did not deliberately drink the three of them, they were not as drunk as last time.
When night fell, the Golden Guards at the door brought them back.
Before he left, Old Zhao gave Su Yu 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 who picked up the three of them also helped Su Yu clean up the messy courtyard.
He asked the Golden Guards to help clean up the courtyard.
In the entire Great Qin, only Old Zhao and Su Yu had such treatment.
……
……
The next morning, in the Qilin Palace of Xianyang Palace.
Old Zhao wore a black Junxuan 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?"
Old Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly.
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 Su Yu said after drinking last time.
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 Su Yu'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 Old Zhao's question.
"I don't dare. It's just that the Su Yu that Your Majesty mentioned is really resourceful, which shocked me.”
"Everything I've said can be verified by you," Old Zhao said expressionlessly.”
Meng Yi understood. He stood up and turned to face the officials."As Your Majesty said, I also saw Su Yu 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 that immortal Su Yu is married. My family has a daughter…"
"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 Zhao 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 Zhao 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 Old Zhao and Great Qin's laws were not that harsh.
Even Old Zhao himself had never killed a truly virtuous official.
He also listened carefully to useful advice.
Seeing that the time was right, Old Zhao began to issue orders.
The general meaning was that the officials could not disturb Su Yu for nothing.
And he couldn't disturb Su Yu's cultivation.
Originally, he wanted to give Su Yu an official position and a knighthood because of the merit of presenting the treasure.
However, because of Su Yu's identity as a merchant, most people in the court were against him.
Great Qin's laws clearly stated this.
Merchants can't be officials!
In addition, Old Zhao was indeed afraid that letting Su Yu become an official in the court would destroy the subtle relationship between him and Su Yu.
Therefore, this matter was left unsettled.
Instead, it was exempted from Su Yu's business tax.
However, Old Zhao did not know.
It was just a tax exemption, which made him so jealous that he almost fainted in the toilet.
