"Pei County's Xiao He and Cao Can pay their respects to Young Master!”
Seeing Ying Changqing, Xiao He and Cao Can were both surprised.
Obviously, they didn't expect that this young master, whose name was known throughout the world for his cruelty, was actually so young and so handsome.
It was very different from the rumored green-faced, fanged, and ferocious appearance.
If it was another occasion, many people would believe that Ying Changqing was an elegant young master or an immortal without knowing his identity.
"Why? You seem surprised to see me!”
Ying Changqing said blandly.
"It's indeed different from the rumors!”
As if he could tell that Ying Changqing didn't have the intention to kill him, Xiao He became much more courageous. He cupped his hands and answered.
"Rumors and reality have always deviated greatly.”
"Father clearly implemented many benevolent policies, but he was still slandered as a tyrant by the remnants of the six dynasties and the Confucian scholars. How can a person like me, who kills decisively, have a good reputation?”
"Xiao He, if you were standing in my position, do you think Zhao Gao, Xu Fu, Wei Bao, and the others should be killed?" Ying Changqing said with a faint smile.”
"This?"
"From Young Master's point of view, these people have indeed committed a great crime!”
"However, it doesn't have to be executed, and there's no need to involve your family!”
Xiao He was silent for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said.
"Not bad, you do have some guts.”
" It's a pity that you've forgotten one thing. If we can't kill one as a warning to the others and make them afraid of the serious consequences and not act rashly, we'll have to pay a higher price to quell the subsequent turmoil.”
"Killing one person can save more people, why not?”
"And are the families of these people really innocent?”
"Don't forget, as family members, they know the main culprit's actions very well. However, they didn't stop him. Instead, they took the opportunity to enjoy the benefits. Naturally, they have to pay the corresponding price!”
" Let's take Wei Bao and Wei Jiu as an example," Ying Changqing said with a faint smile." If it weren't for my father's kindness in the past, they wouldn't have had the space to continue their evil deeds, and they wouldn't have implicated more people.”
"There's also Xiang Liang, Zhang Liang, and the others who have been plotting against Qin. If they succeed, war will break out. Who knows how many people in this world will be displaced and die.”
"And as long as Father is alive, do you think this group of people will really succeed?”
"It's just wasting the lives of many innocent people and delaying my father's conquest of the Xiongnu and solving the thousand-year-old border problem in the Central Plains.”
"In order to gather all the forces to fight the Xiongnu on the grassland as soon as possible and completely eradicate the threat of the millions of people on the border, why can't we kill these people who have bad ambitions?”
Xiao He and Cao Can were stunned.
As people of insight, although they were still nameless officials, they were still very concerned about the world's major events and often discussed them.
It was because of this that they concluded that even though Great Qin had unified the Central Plains, its foundation was still not stable, and its future was uncertain.
And the biggest variable among them was the health of the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, who was so talented and resourceful that everyone had to admire him.
After all, none of the First Emperor's sons were of much use. Once the Ancestral Dragon died, there would be no one else who could control Great Qin.
Especially after the appearance of a brutal and bloodthirsty young master like Ying Changqing.
To be honest, after knowing that they were going to meet Ying Changqing, the two of them were already prepared to die.
However, they didn't expect that Ying Changqing didn't torture them. Instead, he threw out a series of questions, which made them speechless for the sake of the country.
"However, the Qin laws are cruel and there are many corvee. The people of the world are suffering and this is not a long-term solution.”
After a long time, Cao Can said in a low voice with an unconvinced expression.
"Qin Fa is cruel?"
"Haha!"
Ying Changqing laughed out loud and said," Because of the war, Qin Fa's punishment was indeed a little harsh after the world settled down. However, at least one thing was guaranteed, and that was fairness!”
"Apart from Great Qin, who else in the other six countries would be able to punish all nobles and ministers who break the law?”
"The so-called harshness is just because the rules are strict. The powerful nobles can't do anything to them and escape the punishment of the law!”
"As long as it can be strictly enforced, no matter how severe the punishment is, the ones who are ultimately targeted will still be law-abiding good people, not law-abiding criminals.”
"As for the harsh corvee, it's only because Great Qin's territory is now seven times larger than before. Adding on the fact that we need to prepare for the border wars, we need a bit more labor.”
"To be fair, be it Qin Zhidao or the Great Wall defense line, which one of them didn't have to be built?”
"Compared to the six countries in the past, when the aristocrats and nobles could increase taxes at will, which world is better?”
said Ying Changqing with a cold smile.
Xiao He and Cao Can were speechless again.
"Actually, the reason why you're unhappy with Great Qin is because you feel that you're not valued because of your talent.”
"Now, I'll give you a chance to stand at the height of Great Qin and reorganize Great Qin's system for selecting officials.”
"If you can really perform well, you will definitely be conferred the title of Marquis and Prime Minister in the future!”
"I have already sorted out the general idea. You can read it carefully!”
Ying Changqing threw the silk scroll that he had prepared earlier, which had the Nine-grade Zhongzheng and Imperial Examination systems written on it, into the hands of the two men and said coldly.
Xiao He and Cao Can looked at each other and began to examine the silk in their hands.
Soon, their eyes were filled with shock, and they looked at Ying Changqing with even more shock.
Such a move that could be said to be the creation of the world and had absolute significance actually came from the hands of this brutal young master?
It was unbelievable.
If Ying Changqing's two plans could really be implemented in Great Qin, the world would no longer have to worry about a lack of talent.
Great Qin's territory would also become much more stable.
But soon, the two of them discovered the problem.
The effect of such a move was excellent, but the risk was also great!
Not to mention nameless officials like them, even the First Emperor would have to think twice before acting.
"Why? Are you afraid?"
Ying Changqing sneered.
"Indeed!"
After a long time, Xiao He said in a hoarse voice,""Thank you for your favor, Your Highness, but this lowly official is lacking in talent and knowledge.”
"Then go to hell and study!"
"By the way, your families will also accompany you!”
"Don't doubt me. I'm already notorious for being brutal, so I don't mind being a little more.”
"And don't forget that you released Liu Bang, Fan Kuai, and the other criminals without permission. You committed a serious crime and were killed by me. Not only will you not have a good reputation, but you will only have a bad reputation.”
"You can decide whether you want to live or die," said Ying Changqing blandly.”
"I will only give you half a day!”
Looking at Ying Changqing's departing figure, Xiao He and Cao Can looked at each other and sighed.
This young master was indeed extraordinary!
