"Pata."
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, opened the bamboo slip in his hand. At the same time, he glanced at Zhao Gao from the corner of his eyes.
Zhao Gao was at a loss. He had been worried about the secret passage for the past few days, afraid that there would be any safety risks or that he would not be able to hear the voice above in the tunnel.
In the end…
Huhai was obviously in trouble again.
At this moment!
"What a good kill!"
Ying Zheng quickly read through the bamboo slips in his hand, then said to Huhai,""As for the scholars of the six dynasties, as well as the old and young survivors, according to your meaning…you want to kill them all?”
"That's right!" Huhai said confidently. Father, we can't be merciful to the remnants of the Six Nations. We should kill them all to prevent future trouble!”
This was the result of two days of brainstorming between Huhai and his henchmen.
It was very simple and crude.
But they believed that this was the only effective way.
Otherwise, he could only let the remnants of the Six Nations…
"Lao Tzu said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. If killing people can solve all problems, then there is nothing difficult in this world.”
Ying Zheng closed the bamboo slip and said," As punishment, the Eighteenth Young Master Hu Hai copied the Doctrine of the Middle Way ten times. Zhao Gao, the commander of Zhongche Mansion, was the teacher of the 18th son. He was punished for his poor teaching and was fined half a year's salary.”
Instantly.
Huhai instantly turned into a frosted eggplant.
Zhao Gao, on the other hand, still received the punishment respectfully and peacefully.
The reason why Ying Zheng did this was very simple. Previously, in order to minimize the resistance of the six states of the Central Plains in the process of unifying the world, he did not even intend to kill the kings of the six states.
That was until Han Wangan rebelled.
Only then did Ying Zheng send his troops to suppress them and execute Han Wangan, but he still did not kill any of the nobles and officials of Korea.
The reason was simple.
At that time, Great Qin was attacking Chu, and Ying Zheng wanted to maintain stability.
As long as Han didn't cause trouble, he could tolerate those nobles.
In addition.
The Qu, Jing and Zhao Families of Chu had actually negotiated with Ying Zheng through their envoys.
The Qu, Jing, and Zhao Families had only one request, and that was to restore the enfeoffment system. They immediately tied up the King of Chu and brought him to Xianyang, where he would be at Ying Zheng's disposal.
Naturally, Ying Zheng did not agree!
Executing the prefecture and county system was his bottom line!
That was why there was the joint resistance of the Chu Kingdom's scholars and the Chu royal clan!
Fortunately, Marquis Wucheng, Wang Jian, stepped out and directly destroyed the Chu Country in one battle.
After the battle.
Ying Zheng had killed the King of Chu, put the Xiang Clan on the wanted list, and forcibly seized a large amount of land from the Qu, Jing, and Zhao Clans. However, he did not raise his butcher's knife against the scholar-officials of Chu.
The reason was simple. The implications were too wide.
What Ying Zheng wanted was to rule the Central Plains.
That is, I am the first emperor, future generations to count, two or three generations to ten thousand generations, passed on endlessly!
Ying Zheng did not want to use bloody means to plow the entire Land of the Nine Prefectures!
Hatred!
More and more were killed!
It was passed down from generation to generation!
However, the scholars of the Six Nations were protective of the Xiang Clan!
Ying Zheng was very clear about this.
At the same time, he also knew that the previous policy had indeed been too lenient towards the scholars of the six dynasties. This was why these people dared to deliberately hide ancient books about the origins of Ying Qin!
Therefore, Meng Yi followed Ying Zheng's order: He beheaded everyone and patrolled the nine sides, executing many members of the Chu Country!
However, should he raise his butcher's knife against the entire class of scholars in the Nine Provinces for this matter…
This was obviously not possible.
Ying Zheng believed that his previous policy was indeed a little soft in order to reduce the resistance of the six dynasties of the Central Plains.
Did that mean that he would immediately jump to the other extreme…
Then, he killed all the officials of the six countries.
Not to mention whether he could really kill all the scholars of the nine provinces.
Just this policy advice.
It was obvious that he had jumped from extreme gentleness to extreme brutality.
Neither was desirable!
Therefore…
Ying Zheng had punished the eighteenth son Huhai to copy the doctrine of the mean ten times, which had a rather profound meaning.
Just like that.
After Huhai retreated in disappointment.
" Zhao Gao," Ying Zheng said," I would like to know your advice on how to deal with the officials of the six dynasties.”
"Your Majesty…"
Zhao Gao immediately bowed and said,""This is a matter of great importance to the scholars of the six states. We can't kill them, but we can't let them go. Even if there were a few more Grand Court Deliberations, they probably wouldn't be able to reach a definite conclusion, so this lowly subject doesn't dare to speak rashly.”
Zhao Gao was able to get to his current position and become the teacher of the Eighteenth Young Master, Huhai, not only because he was extremely proficient in the law, but also because he often had his own views on national policies.
But…
Zhao Gao didn't have the power to take the initiative to advise.
Otherwise, he could only submit a memorial to the First Emperor through Huhai.
Or like now, he could only speak when the emperor asked.
"That's right! It was indeed very difficult to grasp the limits!”
Ying Zheng muttered to himself, and then said subconsciously,""I wonder how Duke Yin would deal with this if this matter was placed in front of him.”
"With your realm, Duke Yin, you might have a perfect solution." Zhao Gao agreed.”
Zhao Gao was very sly.
He had praised Yin Shang and used the word " maybe ".
Anyway, he would never say it with certainty.
Ying Zheng did not pay any attention to Zhao Gao's thoughts. Instead, he ordered,""Go and inform Meng Yi that I have a question for Fu Su and ask him to convey it.”
"Yes." Zhao Gao bowed his head.
Zhao Gao was the man of the eighteenth son, Huhai.
The Meng Clan was the Eldest Young Master Fu Su's people.
The two factions were clearly separated. Even the simplest message was sent by their own people.
Very quickly.
Ying Zheng prepared a bamboo slip and handed it to Zhao Gao, who was holding it with both hands...
