The rise of Tianzhu of Daqin

Chapter 16 Drunk Dream Building

Ever since Yingzheng ordered Yingxuan and Li Si to revise the Qin law, the Palace of the Qin Palace has never been peaceful. It is full of quarrels between Yingxuan and Li Si all day long. Drive these two people out of Qin Palace.

"It's just stealing, and it's not murder. Why do you sentence others to death?"

Ying Xuan yelled at Li Si once again, frightening the guards left and right. Why didn't they realize that Chang Gehou was so scary before!

Li Si is not to be outdone, Qin Fa has always hated stealing, and punishes such prisoners severely, but what does this have to do with me, Li Si.

"The Qin law has been like this since ancient times. If you don't like it, why are you yelling at me? I didn't make this law."

"So that's the case, let's change it!"

…………

"This is a serious crime of rebellion. Not punishing the nine clans is not enough to anger the common people. Isn't it a bit too much for Lord Hou to say that the crime is not as good as his family?"

This time it was Li Si's turn to attack Ying Xuan, so he almost pointed at Ying Xuan's nose and scolded him for plotting something wrong.

"One person is doing things and the other is responsible. How can you control other people's thoughts?"

Ying Xuan looked at Li Si with disdain.

"The crime of involuntary association is the easiest way for people to cover up the culprit. If one person is guilty, the others are also guilty. Then it is better to cover up others, or even become an accomplice. In this way, what is the use of Qin Fa?"

.........

"Isn't it a bit too much to impose the death penalty for corruption, accepting bribes, and bending the law for personal gain?"

"It's true. After all, people are not sages, and no one can do anything wrong. It's better to be sentenced to ten years in prison as a punishment!"

"This won't work. Some people are greedy for more, while others only take less. It depends on the situation."

"I can see it!"

This time, the two rarely reached an agreement. Although they didn't feel that they needed to take bribes, the royal family and the Li family had many sons, and some of them were greedy for profit and did some bad things.

Of course, if someone did something utterly unconscionable, the two of them would have already cleared the door without the court's intervention.

…………

Half a month later, Li Si and Ying Xuan sat together disheveled, looked at the "Da Qin Law" in front of them, smiled at each other, and then laughed heartily.

The officials and guards who were in charge of recording also breathed a sigh of relief, these days are really like years!
These two adults quarreled at every turn, if they hadn't stopped them, they might have already started fighting. Even so, the objects in this hall have been changed all over the place, and many precious things have been ruined by these two people.

After ordering the eunuch to send the "Great Qin Law" to Ying Zheng for final decision, Ying Xuan finally had time to sit down with Li Si and have a serious chat.

Li Si is indeed a talent, and he has his own experience in the law. If it was placed in the early years, he might be at the level of Lord Shang.

And Li Si also admired Yingxuan very much. Although he was a legalist scholar, he studied under Xunzi and knew a lot about Confucianism. There are even many shadows of Confucianism in his Legalism.

Since the death of senior brother Han Feizi, few people have the same views as him.

The law is not a simple rule, but reason, but reason cannot surpass the law. Only when the two are unified is the most perfect law.

Although Yingxuan had different views from his in many areas, he found that the two people's ideas were so similar, and they even had a tacit understanding on some issues. He couldn't even believe that the young man in front of him was really only 22 years old.

"Li Xiang, do you have time? If you have time, you might as well go have a few drinks with me." Ying Xuan asked.

"I don't dare to ask for what I want." Li Si also had the idea of ​​having a talk with Ying Xuan.

"Okay, if there are any good places in Xianyang, Li Xiang might as well recommend one or two."

Ying Xuan seldom appeared in Xianyang, so he really didn't know much about Xianyang.

"Master Hou might as well go out for a walk, and if we see a place we like, let's sit down and talk about it." Li Si suggested.

"So good!"

After the heavy snowfall, Xianyang City has returned to its original bustle. Most of the rich and powerful families in Xianyang City are not worried about the extreme cold. Even ordinary people live happily under the feet of the emperor.

Yingxuan and Li Xiang were walking on the streets of Xianyang. They came out in a hurry, still unkempt. For a while, no one recognized Li Si, the current prime minister, let alone Yingxuan who didn't leave the gate and didn't step over the second wall. up.

"Prime Minister, I don't know which brothel is the biggest in Xianyang, how about taking me to see it?"

The two visited many places in Xianyang City, and as they walked, Ying Xuan said abruptly.

"Um?!"

Li Si seemed to think that he might have misheard Ying Xuan's words, and he didn't quite believe his ears.

"Why, doesn't the prime minister know? If this is the case, I have to ask someone, and I don't know."

"That's not true, it's just that I didn't expect Master Hou to be so kind."

Li Si and Ying Xuan have become acquainted these few days, and they joked like a mischievous one.

"People don't flirt with young people, not to mention, I'm just a young man, it's just human nature." Ying Xuan didn't excuse himself, but admitted it heartily.

"Then let's go!" Li Si said and started to act with Ying Xuan.

"The maids His Majesty bestows on you every year are concubines and princesses from the royal families of the six countries. Are you still not satisfied? If you insist on going outside to make trouble, you won't be afraid to provoke gossip." Li Si teased.

"Where are the flowers at home as attractive as outside? If you don't eat the flowers in the bowl and look at the ones in the pot, is it still a man?"

Ying Xuan was not ashamed, but rather proud, which caught Li Si off guard. This Lord Hou is really not a good person.

"Besides, whoever said that going to a brothel means going to a whore, maybe I'm just discussing Feng Yasong with them?"

"Hahaha, Master Hou is really a wonderful person!" Li Si also laughed, and said: "This is a good reason. Today, my son will discuss your Fengya Song, and I will discuss my method."

While speaking, Li Si took Ying Xuan out of the luxurious pavilion, it was a nice place with people coming and going.

This attic is extremely exquisite, all of which are made of high-quality wood and carved with exquisite patterns, which are not ordinary handwriting at first glance.A door plaque hangs at the door, with the words Zuimenglou written on it.

In the pavilion, there was faintly the sound of the piano, but Ying Xuan was not proficient in music, so he couldn't hear it good or bad, but Li Si listened with great interest, and he looked like an old world.

The two walked into the Drunken Dream Tower, and Ying Xuan was a little surprised by the setting inside. Everything inside seemed a little quiet, not as lively as Ying Xuan imagined.

There is only a small round stage in the hall, on which there is a woman covered with a veil, playing music, many men in brocade clothes are enjoying the woman's performance, and people applaud from time to time.

Li Si led Ying Xuan up to the third floor, and the servants in Zui Meng Lou seemed to know Li Si, so without further ado, they brought the two of them to the private room.

"Prepare some jars of good wine and some small dishes." Li Si ordered a few words.

"My lord, what kind of wine do you want?" The servant asked politely.

"Qin wine, Chu wine, Yan wine, and Zhao wine are the same four altars. If you finally have a chance to drink, you must not get drunk."

Before Li Si could speak, Ying Xuan couldn't wait to make a decision.

The servant also looked at Ying Xuan curiously. The person who can sit and drink with Prime Minister Li Si is either rich or noble. The person in front of him actually made the decision for the prime minister. It seems that his status is not ordinary, and he does not know where sacred.

However, he was not able to inquire about such characters. Seeing that Li Si had no objection, he hurried out.

Ying Xuan sat at the window of the private box without image and looked downstairs, he had the temperament of a dandy, and he couldn't see the aristocratic temperament of the Qin Dynasty at all.

Li Size sat on the couch in a regular manner, and said to Yingxuan: "This Zuimenglou is not only the largest brothel music hall in Xianyang, but also one of the most famous music halls in the entire Qin Kingdom."

"Besides Xianyang, there are many signs of Zuimenglou in other places. Here, the best musicians, dancers, and of course luthiers from the six countries gather."
