Ying Zheng was very pleased with Li You's attitude.
There was a more important reason why he chose Li You.
That was, Li Youshen had inherited the teachings of his father, Li Si.
He is a master of schemes and plots.
If he wasn't a ruthless person, how could he reach such heights?
In fact, there were many cruel punishments in Li Si's laws. However, he felt that they were too cruel, so he did not adopt them and removed them from the Empire's laws.
He believed that Li You would be able to display his skills in Yingzhou!
"Do your job well. On the day you return triumphantly, zhen will personally organize your wedding.”
Ying Zheng did not say anything about being promoted to a higher rank or being conferred a marquis or general.
The meaning of this sentence was more useful than any promotion or appointment.
Once he became the Great Qin's Official, he would be more respected than any other official position.
"I will not fail my mission. Within three years, I will conquer Yingzhou and present it to Your Majesty.”
Li You said firmly.
"Very good. I am very pleased that you have such great ambitions.”
"But you must remember that because the journey is far, if you encounter huge waves and strong winds in the sea, there will be a disaster of ship destruction and death.”
" Therefore, the Imperium will not have any reinforcements or supplies. You will have to rely on yourself.”
Ying Zheng told him frankly without any intention of hiding anything.
Li You's expression immediately changed. Wasn't this a little too much?
Since ancient times, which war did not provide reinforcements?
"What's wrong? Can't you do it?"
Of course, Ying Zheng had noticed Li You's facial expression, so he immediately said in a deep voice.
"I will do my best."
Li You sighed in his heart. A monarch's heart was like the sea. Just a moment ago, he was still deeply in love, but in the blink of an eye, he turned hostile. Did he dare to say no?
"I'll give you eight words.”
Ying Zheng said in a bone-chilling voice.
Li You was stunned and did not react for a moment.
"What are you waiting for? His Majesty has already given you a solution. Hurry up and thank His Majesty.”
Seeing his son's slow reaction, Li Si was secretly anxious and quickly reminded him.
"I will remember Your Majesty's words and thank Your Majesty for your teachings.”
Li You immediately came to his senses and cupped his hands.
Did His Majesty really want him to use any means possible to snatch it?
But I like it!
Li You suddenly felt as if there was a demon living in his heart. It had been bound by his own propriety, righteousness, and shame.
Now, the shackles that bound it had been broken by His Majesty.
"Feng Jie will go with you. The two of you complement each other.”
"You are in charge of the main attack and he is in charge of governing. This way, Zhen will be at ease.”
Ying Zheng seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said casually.
Feng Jie?
His father's old enemy, the Imperial Censor, was the son of the Great Qin's Vice Prime Minister, Feng Quji.
The Li family and the Feng family had always been like fire and water in the court, secretly fighting endlessly.
His Majesty didn't send Feng Jie on the expedition just to complement each other, right?
Was this a check and balance between him and Feng Jie?
"I will only listen to Your Majesty's orders."
Li You's attitude was respectful. Although he didn't like the Feng family, he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.
"Alright, you can leave first! Zhen and your father are discussing some state affairs."
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said.
"I will take my leave."
Li You immediately left slowly as if he had been pardoned.
In front of His Majesty, he always felt very small, and the pressure was immense, making him feel uncomfortable.
After Li You left, Ying Zheng turned to Li Si and said,""Ancient! I have read your memorial."
"I wonder if Your Majesty is satisfied?"
Li Si instantly perked up and cupped his hands.
"It doesn't matter if I'm satisfied or not, as long as the people of the world are satisfied.”
Ying Zheng's words had a double meaning, as he said with a faint smile.
Eh!
Li Si's expression did not change at all. After all, he had been through many storms.
However, in his heart, he was secretly trying to figure out what His Majesty's intentions were.
Was that satisfaction?
Still not satisfied?
"Your Majesty, is there anything I haven't thought through?”
Li Si looked respectful and humbly asked for advice, but he was nervous.
"There's still a month to go before the beginning of the year.”
Ying Zheng did not answer Li Si's question. Instead, he suddenly sighed with emotion.
The beginning of the year?
Why did he suddenly go to the beginning of the year?
Li Si was baffled and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Every year on the first day of the tenth month, it was undoubtedly a day of celebration and sacrifice.
Coinciding with the grand ceremony was a great opportunity to show mercy to the world.
On a day of celebration, the king would grant amnesty to the world. This had happened since ancient times.
Did His Majesty want to grant amnesty to the world?
This time, he had indeed perfected the laws of Qin. It could be said that he was meticulous.
However, His Majesty did not seem to be satisfied. Could it be that he had thought wrongly?
"That's right! Your Majesty, at the beginning of every year, the people of the entire country will worship heaven and earth, worship the gods, and worship their ancestors. It is a day of celebration.”
Li Si collected his thoughts and smiled.
"I don't think so, right?"
"For most people, not to mention offering sacrifices, even a good meal is an extravagant hope. Where would they get the money to offer sacrifices?”
"Those who can truly hold a sacrifice are either rich or noble people. The real commoners can only watch and join in the fun.”
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and said with an unpleasant expression.
"Your Majesty, it has been like this since ancient times. It is already the emperor's great kindness for ordinary people to be able to live and work in peace.”
How could Li Si not know what His Majesty had said? But who had the ability to make everyone eat meat?
This was something that was impossible to accomplish. Since ancient times, it was the Sage Monarch who allowed commoners to eat a few meals of meat foam a year.
"In the past, I couldn't control it, but now that the empire is in my hands, it shouldn't be like this.”
"The dignitaries eat all kinds of delicacies, fish and meat. No matter what, shouldn't the commoners have some soup to drink?”
"If you don't even want to give the people some soup, let them eat dirt?”
"How can the people of the world not resent this?”
"Once there's a chance, how can we not fight with the nobles?”
With just a few words, Ying Zheng had already outlined the irreconcilable class contradictions that had existed since ancient times.
Li Si's eyelids twitched, and he was greatly shocked. He cupped his hands and bowed to Ying Zheng,""Your Majesty is wise."
Other than this sentence, he really didn't know what else to say.
In any case, he definitely did not have the ability to solve this problem.
Class opposition had been difficult since ancient times.
If they were to suppress the nobles and support the people, who would dare to serve the king?
In terms of righteousness, he was loyal to the king and patriotic.
But how many people truly believed in this saying?
