"County Lord, what are you doing?"
Xiao He felt very uncomfortable being pulled by County Magistrate Xu. He pushed County Magistrate Xu away and asked suspiciously.
"Don't ask anymore. His Majesty wants to see you. We can't delay this. We can't let His Majesty wait!”
County Magistrate Xu pulled Xiao He up again and walked towards the main hall.
At this moment, Xiao He was not struggling. His mind was blank.
His Majesty wanted to see him?
Was he hallucinating?
Did he hear wrongly?
After arriving at the main hall, Xiao He still felt that it was a little unreal.
He looked at the usually high and mighty county governor, county lieutenant, county deputy, and imperial inspector, all of whom had humble expressions as they sat at the end of the banquet.
Xiao He took a deep breath. He knew that he was not dreaming.
The First Emperor, the most powerful person in the empire, had summoned him.
It was just that fortune and misfortune depended on each other. Whether it was a fortune or a calamity, only the heavens knew.
Calming his mind, Xiao He stood in the middle of the hall with his head lowered, not daring to look around.
"Your Majesty, Xiao He is here."
The Pei County Magistrate was all smiles as he spoke to the First Emperor, who was sitting expressionlessly above the main hall.
Ying Zheng did not say anything, but waved his hand.
The Pei County Magistrate immediately came to his senses. He bowed and carefully returned to his seat.
"You are Xiao He?"
Ying Zheng looked at the unattractive young man standing below and asked.
"Your Majesty, I am Xiao He, the chief official of Pei County.”
Xiao He tried his best to control his voice, barely maintaining his composure.
"What do you think of the current situation in the world?”
Ying Zheng went straight to the point without hiding anything.
With his status, there was no need for him to beat around the bush.
The fact that he was able to ask Xiao He today gave him a chance.
Seeing was believing. If the other party really had talent, then he did not mind nurturing talents for the empire.
After all, Li Si was already in his sixties and was no longer as energetic as before.
His casual words caused the entire hall to be dumbstruck.
Originally, everyone was very puzzled. After His Majesty came to Pei County, why did he specially summon this unknown official?
Now, it seemed that His Majesty had learned of this person's name from somewhere, so he had to verify it?
Especially Li Si, who was sitting on the right. He sized up Xiao He with a strange glint in his eyes.
Perhaps it was his intuition from his many years of experience in officialdom that this person was not ordinary?
Many years ago, His Majesty also admired a genius, who was his junior brother Han Fei.
Was this another reincarnation?
His Majesty was impressed by this person. Was he as talented as Han Fei?
Xiao He's mind was filled with questions. How did His Majesty know that he had great ambitions?
That shouldn't be the case.
Although he was full of doubts, the Emperor did not say anything, so he naturally did not dare to ask.
Was the opportunity here?
He had been depressed for many years. Today, His Majesty had given him a stage. If he could not grasp it, he was afraid that there would be no greater opportunity in his life.
After Great Qin unified the world, even though Xiao He was in Pei County, he often heard about the world from his friends.
Especially as Pei County's Chief Official, he was extremely familiar with the laws of Great Qin.
"Your Majesty is a man of great talent and great strategy, and the empire is full of talents. The laws formulated by Minister Li were even more comprehensive and precise.”
"Ever since the reform of the Shang Emperor, the Great Qin Empire has made farming and fighting a basic national policy. The Qin people could kill the enemy on horseback, and they could plow the fields on horseback.”
"However, the hundreds of years of strife and war in the world have already ended in Your Majesty's hands.”
"Now that the four seas are united and the world is united, I think that the farming system is no longer suitable. The most important thing now is to live with the people.”
Xiao He paused and did not dare to continue.
As expected, Xiao He's words caused an uproar among the officials.
Li Si's expression was especially ugly.
It was his duty as the Prime Minister to offer the Emperor a plan to stabilize the country.
From Xiao He's words, did he think that he was incompetent and that he could be replaced?
Ying Zheng stretched out his hand and looked around.
The ministers who were originally discussing and whispering to each other quieted down. They lowered their heads one by one, not daring to meet the Emperor's gaze.
"Continue." Ying Zheng's face was expressionless, and no one could tell his emotions.
Xiao He received the Emperor's approval, so he naturally ignored those hostile gazes and continued,""Five hundred years of war has ruined the Divine Great Land.”
"Although it is good to have strict laws, when things reach an extreme, they will be reversed. The meticulous laws bound the people of the world like marionettes. In the long run, it would definitely make the people uneasy.”
"Moreover, Your Majesty has just unified the world for three years. Although the laws of the six countries are strict, they are not as comprehensive and detailed as the laws of Qin.”
"The people of Qin have long been accustomed to the laws of Qin. Although the six states have been destroyed, the hearts of the people have not been destroyed.”
"Regarding the strictness of the Qin laws, the survivors of the six Shandong countries are the most empathetic.”
"Hundreds of years of war, all the people in the world have suffered the pain of war and suffered the harm of war.”
"Your Majesty has inherited the orders of the heavens and obeyed the hearts of the people. The minor official thought that what the empire needed the most at this time was not rapid expansion, but cultivation and rest to calm the hearts of the people.”
"If everyone in the world fears Qin, then although Qin is strong for a while, it won't last for eternity.”
"If everyone in the world admires Qin, then although Qin will decline for a lifetime, it will definitely be able to prosper.”
"Your Majesty's prestige shook the world and his virtue spread throughout the Nine Provinces. The people of the world respected and feared Your Majesty. Even if they were dissatisfied, they could only be angry but did not dare to say anything.”
"However, can the future emperors, the second emperor, the third emperor, the fourth emperor, the fifth emperor, and the eternal emperor be as talented and bold as Your Majesty?”
"I heard that doctors don't treat themselves. The king accepted good advice, and the officials offered loyal advice.”
After Xiao He finished speaking, his heart was also extremely nervous.
If His Majesty wasn't as broad-minded as the rumors said, his words would have been enough to bring him death.
