After Li Xiao left, Qin Shi Huang walked out of his study.
He stood in the corridor at the highest point of the palace.
Qin Shi Huang looked at the entire Xianyang Palace and Xianyang City outside the palace.
Qin Shihuang muttered,"
"Overseeing the world and intimidating the scholars!
Defender Marquis really didn't disappoint me. The authority of the scholars in the world should be awed.
Should they know who the world belonged to?
It was time to know whose world it was.”
As Great Qin unified the six countries, many of the aristocratic families joined Great Qin and merged with each other.
They would establish small mountains in Great Qin.
The matter of forming cliques in the court for personal gain also kept appearing because of the wealth plundered by the six countries.
At some point, Great Qin no longer had any enemies in its eyes.
Even the nomadic Xiongnu and Donghu in the north trembled under the iron hooves of the Great Qin Empire. The Hu people did not dare to draw their bows and nocked arrows, and the Hu people did not dare to go south and roam the wilderness!
However, it was also because of Great Qin's strength that Great Qin did not have any enemies. Without enemies, Great Qin did not seem to have become as powerful as Emperor Qin had imagined.
On the contrary, the civil and military officials were rather neglectful.
There were cliques in the court, corruption and bribery, and the use of the court's property. All kinds of actions emerged one after another.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng turned around and ordered the eunuch in charge behind him,"
"Pass on my imperial decree. From today onwards, the Defender Marquis is ordered to form an intelligence organization, the Network.
Monitor the world for me!
This net has the power to monitor the world.
All the officials and civilians were within the net.”
"Yes!"
The next day, as Ying Zheng's imperial edict was issued, all the civil and military officials in the court, the nobles, and the people who had a good reputation in Xianyang City were shocked.
He was conferred the title of Guardian Marquis yesterday.
Today, he would establish an intelligence network to monitor the world and its people.
Even a fool would know what Qin Shihuang wanted to do.
They also knew that if the intelligence network was established, how much pressure would the imperial power have on them in the future?
For a moment, they fell into shock.
Half a day later, Xu Fu, the Imperial Advisor who lived in a side hall of Xianyang Palace, was currently studying alchemy in his alchemy room.
Although he also knew that he relied on deception.
However, he was also a warlock. The biggest dream of a warlock was to refine the Elixir of Immortality.
"Master, master, today, it is said that His Majesty wants Li Xiao to set up an intelligence organization, the Network.
From now on, he would oversee the world!
They had the right to monitor the people of the world!”
"What is it? A net!"
Xu Fu was stunned when he heard that. At first, he did not realize what the net was, but then his face revealed a touch of anger as he said,
"The power to monitor the world? How did Li Xiao have such great power?
I'll refine the Elixir of Immortality for Your Majesty.
He even went to ask for immortal pills for His Majesty.
He's actually inferior to such a brat. He's really infuriating me!”
Xu Fu's sense of smell was relatively low. Perhaps it was because he spent all his time in the alchemy room refining pills and did not care much about the matters in the court.
He did not know what the establishment of the network meant.
It was just that Ying Zheng had scolded him loudly because of Li Xiao's matter, which made Xu Fu feel quite uncomfortable in his heart, and he hated Li Xiao even more.
After cursing a few times, Xu Fu no longer cared about the matter of the network. As for his disciple, he would report to him every once in a while about the major events in the court. This was only a routine matter.
Xu Fu waved his hand and said,"
"I understand. You can leave first. Don't disturb me from studying the immortal pill refinement technique.”
"I understand!"
......
At the same time, in the luxurious Prime Minister's residence, Li Si was sitting in the living room with a frown. Below him were several court officials.
These people could be considered his henchmen.
One of the officials said with an ugly expression,
"Prime minister, not only did His Majesty help Li Xiao to the position of Defender Marquis, but he also helped Li Xiao to the position of Defender Marquis.
Now, they were building an intelligence network.
It is said that he wants to monitor the people of the world."
"Who are the people in this world? Aren't they just us scholar-bureaucrats with noble achievements?
His Majesty is obviously targeting us.
They put a knife over our heads, threaten our safety at all times, and monitor us.
This net was extremely vicious!”
Another official also said angrily,"
"His Majesty has always been considerate of us, so it's absolutely impossible for him to create such a trap.
The reason was probably because of Li Xiao.
It was most likely that he had bewitched His Majesty.
He is truly vicious. He has just become a Defender Marquis and is already using us as his targets.”
......
Li Si frowned slightly as he looked at the officials below him who were speaking angrily, but he remained silent.
He understood even more clearly that the establishment of the net was clearly aimed at scholar-bureaucrats like them.
It meant that His Majesty was already dissatisfied with them.
Li Si looked at everyone and said in a deep voice,"
"Don't talk nonsense about His Majesty's matters!
There are so many scholar-bureaucrats in the court. If we act upright, we will naturally sit upright.
Don't talk about such things in the future!"
"His Majesty has been making big moves in recent years. I wonder if it's a good thing or a bad thing?
However, no matter what His Majesty did, he would not be able to do it.
We are still officials!"
After saying that, Li Si turned around and returned to his inner court. He was not one of those aristocratic families who had inherited their merits, so he did not have so many scruples.
Only the other officials were left looking at each other.
......
The other Right Prime Minister, Feng Quji, was calm when he heard about the establishment of the net.
Feng Quji was the old prime minister of the court.
He was also deeply rooted in the court, but he did things by doing nothing, unlike others who went overboard.
His student looked puzzled and said,
"Teacher, is the establishment of this net good or bad for Great Qin?”
Hearing this, the old Prime Minister Feng Quji revealed a faint smile and said,
"Supervising the world is nothing but intimidation!
It was a good thing for His Majesty, but it was a bad thing for some people!
Supervising the world was really a good method!”
"What about us?"
Feng Quji said,
"Maybe it's a good thing, maybe it's a bad thing!”
Hearing Feng Quji's words, Feng Quji's student felt dizzy, but he still tried hard to think about what Feng Quji had said to him.
What was a good thing? What was a bad thing?
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Xiao was familiar with the system of the Great Qin Dynasty.
The rest of the time was spent on getting in touch with the various yamens in the court.
In the future, the main targets of the network would be the officials of the various yamens in Xianyang City.
At this moment, Tian Sha pushed open the door of Li Xiao's study and walked in to report,"
"Young Master, Earth Fiend is back!"
"Let him go to the backyard!"
