The next morning.
Even Ying Zheng was reluctant to get out of bed. He just stayed in bed, refusing to get up.
It was still April and May, so the weather was not hot.
It was suitable for lazing in bed.
Ying Zheng glanced at Li Wu, who was still sleeping soundly beside him, and smiled faintly.
From now on, Li Wu was his.
After giving her a good morning gift.
Ying Zheng thought about the morning court session.
Then, she got out of bed, put on her clothes, and went to the morning court.
Between lazing in bed and going to court, Ying Zheng finally chose to go to court.
It was just like when he was studying and had classes in the morning.
……
In the court.
Ying Zheng sat on the throne, which symbolized the highest authority, looking down at the civil and military officials below.
Now, everyone in Xianyang was in awe of Ying Zheng.
This was because the series of policies he implemented not only allowed the people to live and work in peace and contentment, but also allowed the Qin country to prosper even more.
Therefore, in the Imperial Court, there was almost no one who opposed Ying Zheng.
Whether it was the peddlers or the nobles, many people said that Ying Zheng was a wise ruler.
However, many people did not know the pain in Ying Zheng's heart.
Although he had inherited the memory and body of the original Ying Zheng, his consciousness was his own.
The education he received in his previous life.
Ying Zheng didn't want to be a fatuous king, but it was very tiring to be a wise ruler.
Just like this morning, if he was a muddle-headed emperor, wouldn't it be good to lie next to the soft and fragrant jade?
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
This world was balanced.
"Zhuge Liang!"
Ying Zheng had only one purpose for today's court meeting, and that was to observe the results of the reform over the past few days.
"Your subject is here!"
Zhuge Liang bowed and stepped forward.
"I gave you the task of recruiting talents. How is it going?”Ying Zheng asked.
"Your Majesty, ever since the recruitment order was issued, after a period of publicity, a large number of talents from the seven countries have gathered in our Qin country.”
"Up until now, we have recruited talents from all walks of life, a total of 451.”
"In time, this number will increase!”
Zhuge Liang answered clearly.
"Yes! Not bad, you did well. Go and receive the reward according to your contribution.”Ying Zheng nodded.
"I will do my best for the king until I die. I don't need any reward.”
Zhuge Liang was not moved by the reward at all.
This caused the various officials in the court to look over.
"Hahaha, good, this is what a subject of Great Qin should be like!”
Ying Zheng was beaming with joy. The products of the system were indeed different.
But at the same time, Ying Zheng knew that even if Zhuge Liang did not want a reward, he would still give him one.
Because the human heart was a very complicated thing.
For example, when Zhuge Liang did not want any reward, many people would praise him for his noble character and integrity, for serving the country and the people.
He had truly done his best and died.
However, once he started, the officials who had contributed could only follow suit.
Because the prime minister had already made a pioneer demonstration. How dare a small official like you not follow suit?
In the long run, every official's attitude towards the country and the people would become more and more negligent.
The country would also become weaker and weaker.
It didn't matter whether he had credit or not. If he couldn't advance, why would he work hard to earn credit?
Therefore, even if Zhuge Liang did not want it, Ying Zheng still rewarded him.
"Merits must be rewarded and wrongs must be punished. This rule cannot be changed, even if you are the prime minister.”
After saying that, Ying Zheng asked the officials in charge of the records and rewards to record Zhuge Liang's contribution.
Later, after the court session, send all the things that should be rewarded to Zhuge Liang to his residence.
After that, Ying Zheng asked Li Si, the Legalist, and Liu Yan, the Minister of Finance.
They had achieved great results in their respective fields.
This made Ying Zheng very happy.
There was only one piece of bad news that made Ying Zheng feel helpless.
That was because the Qin Country's recruitment order made all the talents of the seven countries move upon hearing it.
As for the other six countries, they were all afraid that the loss of their talents would cause unimaginable losses to their countries.
Therefore, they all issued strict restrictions on those talented and famous people in the various countries. They were not allowed to leave their countries. Otherwise, they would be executed immediately and their entire family would be executed.
After hearing this news.
Although Ying Zheng was furious, there was nothing he could do.
He couldn't directly tell the other six dynasties not to restrict the flow of talents.
If he did that, it would give the six countries an excuse to form an alliance.
He could only take things one step at a time.
"Dear ministers, is there anything else? If you have something to report, then leave the court."
Ying Zheng's current mood was as excited as when he was about to end his class.
Seeing that no one spoke.
Ying Zheng was delighted, and he stood up, preparing to leave.
At this moment.
Zhuge Liang stood up and said,"I have something to report!"”
"What is it?"
"I implore Your Majesty to accept a virtuous consort and leave behind a bloodline for the royal family!”
"I agree!"
"I also agree!"
"This lowly subject also agrees!"
