This had nothing to do with Li Si.
However, Zhao Gao needed his help to plead with Ying Zheng to deal with the aftermath, which was why he asked Li Si to help.
But because of that, Li Si was demoted.
After all, Li Si was now the Lord of the Pass.
Even the lowest marquis was still a marquis!
After being demoted, his title would become that of a great co-patriarch, falling out of the rank of marquis.
How could Li Si not go crazy?
However, no matter how mad he was, Li Si could only quickly cup his hands.
"This humble subject is willing to accept your punishment."
"I will definitely remember this matter.”
"We are loyal to Great Qin and His Majesty!"
Ying Zheng nodded slightly.
"I hope Minister Li will remember these words.”
Pausing for a moment, Ying Zheng's voice turned cold.
"Lu He entered Xianyang with a sword and assassinated two young masters near Xianyang Palace.”
"Even the paladins are so arrogant in Xianyang City, let alone other places?”
"I want to collect all the weapons in the world and gather them in Xianyang. What do you think?”
Li Si cupped his hands without hesitation.
"This subject thinks that this plan is very good!"
"With a sharp blade, the killing intent will naturally arise."
"Weapons are an important cause of civil unrest.”
"If we can collect all the weapons in the world, our Great Qin will become even more stable!”
Weakening the power of the people and increasing the power of the imperial court.
This had always been the Legalism's stance, so Li Si naturally would not object.
Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction.
"Very good!"
"Since that's the case, dear minister, write a memorial tonight.”
"During the court meeting tomorrow, my beloved minister will present a memorial and discuss it with all the important officials.”
"After the details are finalized, you will be in charge of this matter.”
A thin layer of sweat appeared on Li Si's forehead.
During the Warring States Period, the world was in chaos.
The poor Great Qin needed to bring their own weapons to join the army.
In today's world, whether it was the officials of the imperial court or the common people of the countryside, who didn't have a sword?
Conquering all the weapons in the world was a big black pot that offended everyone in the world!
He had thought that demoting him was the heaviest punishment for him.
But now, it seemed that being responsible for collecting all the weapons in the world was the real punishment for him!
Li Si wanted to decline.
But looking at Ying Zheng's angry expression, he could only cup his hands in front of his chest bitterly.
"This lowly subject obeys!"
Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction.
"Very good!"
"Send the order to the professor's hall."
"From today onwards, the Doctorate Hall will no longer recruit Confucian scholars as professors.”
"All Confucian scholars in the Doctorate Hall will be fined a month's salary.”
This time, Li Si agreed decisively.
"This lowly subject obeys!"
Fifteen minutes later, Li Si and Zhao Gao walked out of Xianyang Palace.
"Hu ~"
Li Si glared at Zhao Gao the moment he stepped out of the palace.
"How could I have lost my mind to conspire with you!”
Zhao Gao looked at Li Si.
"Because Minister Li knows that Young Master Yuren is now highly regarded by His Majesty.”
"If Young Master Fusu is like Young Master Yuren, then the status of the scholarly faction will definitely rise greatly.”
"At that time, will Minister Li still be able to sit on the position of Left Minister?”
Li Si was speechless and could only snort coldly.
"You've caused me a lot of trouble this time!”
"If such a thing happens again in the future, don't look for me again!”
Zhao Gao bitterly laughed at himself.
"Miserable?"
"This lowly official's son-in-law was killed!”
"This lowly subject only wanted to use this opportunity to strike a blow at the Confucians. Who knew that Your Majesty would be so angry!”
Li Si sighed helplessly after a few moments of silence.
"Your Majesty is still a father.”
"Zhao Manor Token, it's a great fortune that you and I can still live.”
"This Prime Minister will give the Zhao Residence a piece of advice. Don't have any other thoughts in the next few years.”
"Remember, loyalty, loyalty, and loyalty!”
With that, Li Si got into the carriage and quickly left Xianyang Palace.
Zhao Gao stood alone in the bleak night wind, looking up at the top of the wall of Xianyang Palace.
There, a freshly chopped head was floating in the wind.
It was Yan Le's head!
Zhao Gao's hands, which were hidden in his sleeves, clenched into fists.
"Loyalty?"
"I have been driving the carriage for Your Majesty for more than twenty years, doing my best.”
"Such loyalty can't exchange for my son-in-law's life.”
"What is the use of such loyalty?”
"Life is still in your own hands!”
No one knew what Zhao Gao was thinking under the night sky.
That night, countless people did not sleep.
Shouts of killing could be heard everywhere in Xianyang City. A large number of low-level officials were taken to prison by the Great Qin warriors, awaiting punishment.
Ying Yuren, who was in the center of the whirlpool, had a good sleep.
The next day.
The sun rose as usual.
Ying Yuren was in the middle of punching the philosophers and stepping on the Hundred Schools of Thought in his dream when a notification suddenly sounded.
ding ~
"Hmm?"
"The system is ringing?"
Ying Yuren opened his eyes in a daze and took a few breaths to regain consciousness.
After completely waking up, Ying Yuren immediately jumped up from the bed.
"Why is there a reward all of a sudden?"
"I haven't done anything recently.”
After carefully combing through the things he had done recently, Ying Yuren revealed a look of realization.
"As expected, Eldest Brother's influence in the scholarly faction is extremely great.”
"Turning Eldest Brother gay will be of great benefit to the revival of the scholarly faction.”
"Haha, let me see what the system gave me this time.”
Rubbing his hands excitedly, Ying Yuren opened the system interface.
In the middle of the semi-transparent virtual screen, a huge word entered Ying Yuren's eyes.
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the development reward: Confucius Military Strategy!]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the development reward: Excellent Pig!]
Ying Yuren: ???
