Great Qin's Party Struggle, Wang Jian Begging Huahua
Li Si's expression was calm.
But this time, he said this.
However, it was as if a heavy bomb had been dropped on the scene.
The entire court was in an uproar.
Not just civil officials.
Even the expressions of the generals changed.
It was obvious that everyone still felt a lingering fear from what had happened earlier.
It was also because of this.
Hearing this, other than Li Si, the other civil officials could not sit still.
One after another, they stood up and advised.
"What? Arrest everyone related to the Yin-Yang School? Wouldn't that be burning books and burying scholars again?”
"Your Majesty, you can't!"
" That's right. The burning of books and burying of scholars had already caused the displeasure of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy. If it were to happen again, who knows what kind of storm it would cause in this world.”
"Now that the world has just been settled and the six countries have just been pacified, the main task is to appease the people. If we rashly arrest them, the final result may be counterproductive. Your Majesty, please think twice!”
Dozens of civil officials stepped forward and kowtowed.
Seeing this scene.
Li Si remained calm, but someone from the Legalism he represented snorted coldly.
He immediately retorted sarcastically.
"Hmph, this won't do, that won't do. What does the Left Minister think we should do now?”
"His Majesty is the greatest emperor in history!”
"Do emperors have to be timid when they do things?”
"That's right. The sharpness of our Qin army was something that even the six dynasties were able to defeat. Now that the six dynasties have been destroyed, why do we have to be so timid? What a joke.
Minister Zuo, are you afraid of yourself?
I heard that the Left Minister was very close to the Left Guardian of the Yin-Yang School in Xianyang before the incident…Why, is your heart aching?”
Li Si's Legalism disciple said as he looked coldly at the powerful official on the left. His eyes were filled with amateurism and foolishness.
Although Li Si was famous all over the world.
However, he was unable to control the Great Qin Imperial Court, and the person suppressing him was none other than Left Prime Minister Wang Wan.
Back when the world was first settled, because Wang Wan advocated the enfeoffment system, his line of civil officials was severely suppressed by Ying Zheng.
This gave Li Si the opportunity to rise rapidly.
However, a centipede would never die.
After so many years, even though Li Si had gained a firm foothold in the court, he could not completely wipe out Wang Wan and her gang.
Moreover, Ying Zheng was in the middle, taking the initiative to use the art of a king to balance the situation.
This caused the two factions to be like fire and water among the civil officials.
Wang Wan didn't even need to reply when she said this.
Some of the civil officials on his side also took the initiative to step forward.
He also refuted sternly.
"Nonsense!"
"The Left Minister's words are completely mature and prudent. When did he hide any selfishness?”
"You're trying to climb up for no reason!"
"That's right. If you really want to put it that way, can I understand this matter as Li Si not wanting to see the Great Qin culture flourish and want to use this opportunity to eliminate dissidents? Dominating Legalism?"
They were all scholars. They were not good at marching and fighting, but when it came to talking, each one was indeed better than the other.
Seeing that Li Si was being accused, they naturally did not back down and immediately retorted.
After saying this.
They were often completely thrown into chaos.
"How dare you!"
" You're the impudent one!!"
……
Fortunately, this endless scolding did not last long.
A moment later, Ying Zheng finally could not bear it anymore. He slammed the table and shouted angrily.
"Enough, shut up!"
"This is the court, not the market. If you continue to roar like this and word gets out, you'll really become a laughing stock!!”
As soon as the Ancestral Dragon said this.
The noisy court instantly quieted down.
the whole audience could hear a pin drop.
The disciples from both sides lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.
It was also at this moment that Wang Wan and Li Si stepped forward one after another, bowing towards Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty…"
However, before the two of them could speak, the Ancestral Dragon had already waved his hand again and interrupted them.
His tone was a little impatient as he said.
"Alright, stop talking."
"Go back and think about what to do. The next day he wrote a letter. Hand it over."
"Retreat!"
"Here!"
……
A good court meeting ended without any problems.、
During the retreat, Wang Wan and Li Si walked out of the court.
They did not look at each other.
Wang Jian quietly shook his head when he saw this scene.
Even as a General, he could see that the internal strife between the civil officials had reached an extremely serious stage.
If this continued, it would be detrimental to the stability of the court.
Before he could say anything else.
He had just reached the entrance of Zhangtai Palace.
Suddenly, a eunuch walked out and stopped him. He said that the Ancestral Dragon was already waiting in the side hall and invited Wang Jian over for a chat.
Wang Jian was also shocked when he heard the news.
But now that he was in Zhangtai Palace, he wasn't worried about others playing tricks.
Therefore, after hearing the news, he immediately set off and rushed to the side hall with the young eunuch.
The two of them walked past everyone's eyes and ears and went to the side hall.
Pushing open the door and entering, he saw Ying Zheng again.
At this moment, he had already taken off his court clothes and changed into a black robe. He sat behind a thick book with a calm expression.
It was as if the one who had flown into a rage in the court earlier was not him, but someone else.
Seeing the Ancestral Dragon suddenly bring him here, Wang Jian was also a little nervous. He hurriedly bowed and asked respectfully.
"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly summon this old minister here?”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng did not reply directly. Instead, he looked at the thick book on the desk in front of him and continued,
"Do you see the two piles of books on the table? These were sent into the palace early this morning by the civil officials.
Half of them came from the Left Minister and his disciples, who strongly opposed the idea of killing the Yin-Yang School in the entire country. As for the other half, it came from Right Prime Minister Li Si. He still requested that they act according to Legalism and use heavy punishment to warn the world and kill the chicken to warn the monkeys.”
"Uh, Your Majesty, you specially asked this old minister to come here today. Could it be that you want to ask this old minister about the countermeasures for this matter?”
Hearing these words, Wang Jian felt that something was amiss even more.
As an old man who had always been biding his time and kept a low profile.
Without waiting for this time, Ying Zheng finished his words.
Wang Jian's head was already shaking like a rattle-drum.
He rejected in advance.
"If that's the case, then Your Majesty has asked the wrong person.”
"This old man is just a boor. I can lead troops to charge and fight. How to deal with the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and the Confucian scholars…Your Majesty, it's not very useful for you to ask me about such a small matter.”
After saying that, he even raised his head and revealed a straightforward expression at the right time.
