Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 365: Li Xiang is really used to being humble!
This is just a small testimony of the power of local nobles.

The Qin Dynasty was different from the Han Dynasty. The order to move the mausoleums issued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was aimed at local powerful people, while the order to move the mausoleums issued by the First Emperor was aimed at the nobles who had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years.

The difference between the nouveau riche and the established aristocracy.

There is absolutely no comparison between the powerful and the noble!
Therefore, in terms of social reaction, it was even greater than the turmoil when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued the order to move the Maoling Mausoleum. Not to mention that the Han Dynasty had experienced time certification during the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and people's hearts had gradually become unified.

Political brokers from all walks of life took turns to appear, and even Li Si, the right minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, felt overwhelmed...

"Once they move, it is equivalent to losing all their wealth for the nobles...the fields will be sold at a discount, not to mention that they will be reduced to fish meat after arriving in Xianyang. They are willing to use their wealth and past reputation to solve all this Yes." Zhang Cang smiled.

"Yes... It's easy to talk in court now, but at home, even my wife and even my daughter-in-law have begun to intercede secretly..."

While Zhao Si and Zhang Cang were talking, a slightly tired voice sounded in the distance. Zhao Si turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw Li Si's signature goatee coming into view.

It seems... a little sparser than before?
"Does Mr. Li still have time to come here?"

Zhao Si knew at a glance that Li Si had been tortured recently. As the leader of the order to move the royal mausoleum, Li Si must bear the greatest pressure.

The separated corners were difficult for Zhao Si to deal with, let alone Li Si?
"Things are more troublesome. Things at home are easy to solve. However, after being scolded by me, the female family members no longer dare to interfere with my official duties. However, some of the people who come to visit me cannot be scolded..." Li Si shook his head.

Li Si was powerful and powerful, but this society ultimately focused on relationships and seniority.

Xianyang City, as the political center of the world, has countless old antiques that have settled here.

Some people are afraid of Li Si's power, but some people are not afraid.

They may not be able to persuade Li Si to change his mind, but their seniority and personal relationships still make Li Si feel troublesome.

"What's the background?" Zhao Si looked at Li Si in surprise.

"Successively..." Li Si sat down with helplessness on his face.

"Not only that... there are also princesses... and young masters..."

"Those nobles actually have so much energy?" Zhao Si said with shock on his face.

"Just something to mention..." Li Si spread his hands.

"When the Qin State separated the kings and ministers of the Zhao State, it was just to send some gold and silver to Guo Kai. What's new about this kind of thing? It's not like I asked them to interfere with my official duties. I just asked them to send people to deliver the favors and act as a middleman. There is no need for them to commit crimes and violate the laws of Qin, so they can acquire a large amount of gold and silver... Not to mention, many nobles in the world have in-laws. In a word, it is nothing more than gold and silver to open a road and set up a line..." Li Si looked a little helpless. He spread his hands.

"Since it does not hinder Prime Minister Li's official duties and no one has committed any crime, Prime Minister Li will just refuse them one by one." Zhao Si said.

"They may be willing to give away gold and silver in order to get in touch with me. Wouldn't they secretly pay bribes to avoid being moved to Xianyang? I won't accept bribes, but that doesn't mean that others won't accept them. Of course I can enforce it arbitrarily, but This trend is still there, and if it continues like this, everyone will feel conflicted, and who would think that letting others relocate in a good manner would be a good government order?"

social pressure!

Zhao Si keenly captured the beauty!
There are many similar things in history.

For example, a certain minister remonstrated to death!

For example, the students of Taipei University kowtowed together...

This group of people has little power, but they can use social pressure to reverse the situation and guide public opinion.

The reason why Li Si feels so anxious is because if things go on like this, public opinion will become more and more intense...

Unfortunately, many of these people were the ones he could not rebuke and could only politely refuse.

When 1 people accuse you, the right thing becomes the wrong thing.

"In that case, things are indeed a bit difficult." Zhao Si rubbed his eyebrows. "It's not impossible, but I need your help." Li Si smiled.

"Me? How can I solve something that Prime Minister Li can't solve?" Zhao Si waved his hand.

"Although these people cannot interfere with my official duties, I cannot force them to shut up like I scold my wife and daughter-in-law. The one who can do this is not you, but Your Majesty. I just need your persuasion. "Li Si said seriously.

"I have already informed your Majesty of the situation. When His Majesty arrives in person, you have to say a few words for me." Li Si said with a hint of helplessness.

"This is a very painful confession. Your Majesty can't tell the difference clearly. Why do you need me to say it?" Zhao Si shook his head.

"How can there be any minister in the world who complains like a king that things are difficult to handle? It's not that I don't want to do it, but it's really hard to do it." Li Si looked at Zhao Si seriously, and then looked at his junior brother Zhang Cang with a slightly complicated look. There was a little hope in his eyes.

Zhao Si also looked at Zhang Cang, who smiled and nodded.

In fact, Zhao Si also understood why Li Si did what he did today.

Li Si complained to himself, not because things couldn't be done anymore.

Li Si was a highly respected minister. In order to move the royal mausoleum order, the First Emperor gave Li Si the greatest rights.

Is there really nothing Li Si can do to shut up this group of political brokers and clean up the atmosphere?
In fact, Li Si can do it.

This group of people just relied on their seniority and status to deliberately disgust Li Si.

If Li Si wanted to overturn the table, even if he really killed a chicken to scare the monkeys or even went on a killing spree, the First Emperor would not say anything.

When Lord Shang was enacting the reform, Shang Yang directly stared at the old clan and went to work violently, making it clear that he was going to go on a killing spree, and no one would be able to do it.

If the king believes in me, let me continue; if he doesn't, he will kill me.

But Shang Yang's ending also explains everything.

Although the reform is successful, his body cannot be saved.

Li Si came here to protect himself.

To put it bluntly, this group of people was too sensitive, and Li Si wanted to gain the support of the First Emperor.

As for saying things can't be done, that's pure nonsense. Li Si is the Right Prime Minister. As long as he wants to do it, as long as the First Emperor acquiesces, there is nothing he can't do.

Zhao Si was not a fool, so how could he not understand the hidden meaning of Li Si's words.

After all, Li Si was not Shang Jun, and he did not have Shang Jun's willingness to die calmly.

And Duke Xiao of Qin was not the First Emperor after all.

To put it bluntly, when Shang Yang started his reform and was attacked, he rushed to divide his body into pieces.

During the reform, even Qin Xiaogong felt that Shang Yang was too harsh, so he persuaded Shang Yang.

Would the First Emperor be like this?
Obviously, the First Emperor would only dislike Li Si for being timid and not decisive enough.

Zhao Si thinks that Li Si thinks things are too complicated.

But there is no way. It is obvious that the relationship between Li Si and the First Emperor is far less than the pine and cypress agreement between Shang Yang and Qin Xiaogong.

Li Xiang is still used to being humble.
