Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Li Si's entire body began to tremble.
He knew that he would die today.
"Ah!"
Li Si screamed as he rushed towards the stone pillar of the Qilin Palace.
"Boom!"
He knocked his head against the stone pillar.
For a moment, blood slowly flowed down from his head.
Li Si's long robe was stained red with blood.
However, Ying Zheng shook his head gently and said,"
"Minister Li, do you really think you can die?”
Using the same method, he fed Li Si some thousand-year-old Lingzhi.
"Men, take Li Si away as well and execute him by a thousand cuts. In view of Minister Li's contributions in the first half of his life, don't hang his bones on the city gate.”
After saying that.
Wang Ben and a few guards dragged Li Si away.
At this moment.
Ying Zheng looked at Huhai, who was sitting on the dragon throne.
Huhai saw that his father was still alive.
He was so frightened that he hurriedly climbed down from the dragon throne.
Then, she ran to Ying Zheng's side, hugged his thigh with a crying face, and said,"
"Imperial Father, I…I was bewitched by Zhao Gao."
"I was wrong. I know I was wrong."
Ying Zheng took a deep breath.
tigers are too venomous to eat their cubs.
Although he was the king of a generation, and even countless enemies evaluated him as tyrannical and domineering.
However, he still couldn't kill Huhai ruthlessly.
"Men, take Huhai away and strip him of his identity as a member of the Zhao family and demote him to a commoner.”
Huhai stood rooted to the ground in fear.
He cried and shouted,
"Father, do you not want me anymore? I was wrong. I won't do this again.”
Ying Zheng let out a long sigh, gently stroked Huhai's head and said,"
"You're my son. As your father, I'll spare your life. However, a mistake is a mistake.”
"You should be punished for your mistakes. In the future, be a rich man.”
After saying that.
The guards carried the wailing Huhai away.
Behind him, Feng Quji carefully said,
" Your Majesty, Young Master Huhai is still young and doesn't understand things. In addition to Zhao Gaoli's bewitchment…"
Ying Zheng glared at him and said,"
"Don't say anything more. I've already forgiven him by letting him be a rich man for the rest of his life.”
After saying that.
Step by step, Ying Zheng walked towards the dragon throne.
Every step he took seemed to be walking on the hearts of all the ministers present.
Ying Zheng flicked his sleeves and sat down, then counted them one by one."
"Why isn't General Youcheng here? And Wei Liao, as a lieutenant of the Great Qin Empire, why isn't he here?”
At this moment.
Yao Jia cupped his hands and stood up.
"Your Majesty, the state officer is not feeling well, so he did not come to court. As for General Li Xin, he should be in the Imperial Army stables in the north of the city.”
Yao Jia was a guest of Great Qin.
He was the person who was in charge of the diplomatic affairs of the country.
It was also because his position did not have much real power, and Yao Jia was already a high official.
That was why Zhao Gao and Li Si had been able to keep him in the royal court.
Ying Zheng swept his gaze across the officials and said slowly,"
"Do you have anything else to report? If there's nothing important, you can leave the court first."
"Everyone, rest up. Tomorrow at seven o'clock, we will meet at the Qilin Hall on time. I have something to discuss with you.”
"Right, after you leave the court, remember to inform Li Xin and Wei Liao to quickly come back and help me deal with military affairs.”
"Alright, if there's nothing else, withdraw from the court."
The ministers in the hall did not dare to stay any longer. They lowered their heads and left the Qilin Palace.
Not long after.
Only Ying Zheng and Wang Jian were left in the empty Qilin Palace.
Ying Zheng tapped his hands lightly on the dragon throne, as if he was thinking about something.
Wang Jian stood in the hall without saying a word, just waiting quietly like this.
After a long time.
Ying Zheng lowered his head and saw Wang Jian, who was still waiting in the hall.
"Old General Wang, why are you still here?”
Wang Jian cupped his hands and bowed.
"Your Majesty, I... I want to ask, how do you plan to deal with the officials who have sided with Zhao Gao and Li Si?”
Only then did Ying Zheng understand.
So it turned out that Wang Jian was prepared to help those aristocratic family officials sound out his intentions.
He sighed helplessly.
Because of the officials in the court.
Apart from a small number of Generals who had relied on Great Qin's military merit system to rise to power, there was also a small number of other Generals.
The other officials basically all had aristocratic backgrounds.
However, this also meant that Great Qin was controlled by these families to a certain extent.
Once these aristocratic families joined forces to resist him, Ying Zheng would be killed.
Even if he was the greatest emperor in history, he would still have a headache.
After all, every level of Great Qin's official system had these families.
However, Ying Zheng had no choice.
This was because the knowledge of this era was all in the hands of the nobles and aristocratic families.
Even if they were from the Humble Class.
That was also a declining noble family.
The real commoners had no chance to come into contact with knowledge at all.
In the past.
He had also listened to Li Si's Legalism, which was to fool the people and unify their thoughts.
He believed that only the policy of obscuring the people could stabilize the rule of the imperial power.
However…
Only after receiving the teachings of the Immortal Qi Yuan did he understand that the policy of obscuring the people could not stabilize Great Qin's imperial rule.
The only way was to treat the people well and broaden their wisdom.
Only then could they truly create a foundation for Great Qin.
Ying Zheng said in a low voice,"
"The reform can only boil frogs.”
"After Great Qin holds the Imperial Examination, the right to obtain and grant knowledge will naturally slowly return to This Emperor.”
"I, Ying Zheng, hope that all the people of Great Qin will be like dragons!”
