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

Chapter 535 Amber’s intrusion, the First Emperor’s method!

"Then since the old official was not wrong, in your opinion, who was wrong?" The First Emperor's eyes fell on Kong Kun.

The voice was very soft, but Kong Yu felt that the pressure was doubled at this moment.

It was nothing more than a matter of taking the blame. The First Emperor took the initiative to take the blame for his old officials, which meant that the First Emperor admitted his political mistakes. This is obvious.

This was obvious, and Kong Kun could say it with just a movement of his lips, but he was unable to speak even after squeezing his lips several times.

The deterrence of the First Emperor was still too high... Sometimes people's courage cannot be explained by a simple fear of death.

The blood-brave Qin Wuyang was still trembling like chaff when he saw the First Emperor.

For example, Kong Yu had no shortage of courage to die calmly, but when facing the First Emperor, even now that the First Emperor had almost personally admitted his political mistakes, he could not say this easily.

Even if you just say one sentence, Your Majesty is wrong!

Reason told Kong Kun that even if he told the truth, the First Emperor would not kill him to vent his anger.

"Amber! Amber! Amber!" The little slave opened his mouth and danced.

"Yeah! Yeah!"

Well... the little child slave can already stand up and walk staggeringly while holding on to things.

Even if he said it, he would not die because of it. It was obvious that there was no risk of death, and he was obviously not someone who was afraid of life and death...

Amber, a tigress who was extremely arrogant in front of Yu Ji, happily acted as a playmate in front of the young slave. She didn't even mind carrying the young slave back and forth, and she didn't mind having her hair picked off by the young slave.

Amber is so humane. If the little one stumbles over a branch, Amber will go up and bite the branch to pieces. How can the little child not like amber?

Amber was very close to Xiao Zhinu, and the First Emperor also liked Amber very much.

But seeing the little child slave speak, the First Emperor naturally knew that the little guy missed the big cat at home again.

"Ugh!"

But everyone is still afraid of it...

At least at this stall, when the First Emperor showed off his aura and oppressive power without any scruples, even Zhao Si would consider whether it would break the atmosphere, but the little child slave who was having fun did not care, and seemed to want to When my great-grandfather got up, he wanted to crawl over Zhao Si with all his teeth and claws.

The little child slave who was being held by Zhao Si did not feel that the atmosphere in the hall was so depressing.

This was the fact. After the First Emperor's smile faded, the atmosphere in the entire hall seemed depressed.

If Zhao Si treated them like human beings, then the First Emperor treated them like an animal tamer treating a group of beasts...

"Little guy, this is the court... The amber is in the side hall, wait until after the next court to find it!" Zhao Si coaxed with a smile.

It is said that the First Emperor was difficult to get along with, but Zhao Si's son Xiao Zhinu didn't think so.

After the First Emperor packed up Hu Bo and Xiao Zhinu and brought them to Tangquan, to be honest, Zhao Si and Xiao Zhinu didn't get along as long as Amber and Xiao Zhinu.

It is clear that the First Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not a person who killed indiscriminately. It was clear that the First Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not order the killing of several ministers.

Killing... does not make people feel scared, but the alienation between two species revealed in their bones makes them unable to get along with each other.

To be honest, it's a bit outrageous, the child is not even one year old yet.

The oppressive atmosphere in the main hall was suffocated, and the First Emperor smiled again. Even Kong Kun, who was mumbling about his answer no matter where he was, smiled and stretched out his hand to catch his sweet grandson.

The little guy didn't listen and kept shouting in the arms of the First Emperor.

The First Emperor smiled and rubbed the little child's face. Just as he was about to comfort him, he suddenly heard a few exclamations from the palace servants. He saw a colorful tiger scurrying out of the corridor, and several chasing palace servants followed behind hastily. , seeing that Amber had already rushed to a high position, his face became livid.

As the CRRC Mansion Ling Guizhou stood beside the First Emperor, his expression became ugly.

The people in the palace who often get along with Amber naturally know that this uncle has a bad personality and is not harmful to others, but he is not too scared. Their faces are livid because Amber's appearance has turned the court meeting into a farce.

Yes, farce!
When Amber rushed to the high position, the whole hall became chaotic.

This is a beautiful tiger!
Moreover, it is a colorful tiger that is twice its size. If you look at its size alone, it looks like a small elephant calf.

Although most of the courtiers knew that there was a magical tiger in the palace, but how many people could see it with their own eyes?
What's more, today's court has not only civil and military officials, but also representatives of hundreds of schools of thought. Not only have they seen these foreigners, they may not have even heard of them, and even if they have heard of them, they may not believe them.

So much so that the moment Amber burst out, she screamed and evaded had already begun...

Amber came close to Xiao Zhinu and nudged Xiao Zhinu with her head. As if she was dissatisfied with such a noisy scene, she raised her head and let out a tiger roar.

The tiger's roar was like thunder, so much so that the table in front of the First Emperor shook slightly. It didn't seem like it came from the ears, but seemed to be heard through the internal organs and bones.

In an instant, everything fell silent, and everyone was trembling.

Most of the civil and military officials were in better condition. Those who could attend the court meeting were all local officials who were in office and knew about the existence of a magical tiger like Amber.

The representative figures of various schools of thought were all trembling, and Kong Yu, who was still hesitating to encourage himself to bravely face the First Emperor's inquiry, could not help but shake like chaff at this moment, and moved to a corner.

"You bastard, you went out for a run, and your temper became wild?" Zhao Si laughed happily when he saw this, but he had to show off after all.

Although Amber accidentally vented his anger, he did destroy the ceremony and alarmed the officials. As punishment, Zhao Si gave Amber a slap in the face without any pain, and Amber's rather humanized claws Holding his head to protect Xiao Zhinu in front of him, Xiao Zhinu stretched out his two short hands to shield Zhao Si.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty's dispatch was unfavorable. The palace servants failed to take good care of the amber, so they bumped into hundreds of officials. Your Majesty, please punish me!" Qian took the blame for his men without any hesitation.

"If Amber really wants to come out, not to mention you palace people, how can Yu Lin, who is fully armed, stop him?" The First Emperor waved his hand, referring to Guizhou, but in fact he was explaining to his subordinates.

"Hubo was raised by Si'er since he was a child. He is born with supernatural powers and is quite understanding of human nature. He never hurts anyone. It's just that he is a little younger now and has a more naughty temper. You don't have to panic. You are magnanimous. You won't be harmonious even if you think about it. A beast is so strange..." The First Emperor smiled to appease the officials, then held the little child slave in one hand and stroked Hu Hu's huge head with the other.

After patting her gently, Amber obediently laid her head on the table and tilted her head to look at the civil and military officials below. "In the final analysis, I am still a little neglectful in my daily life..." The First Emperor waved his hand.

Seeing Amber's magic, there was no movement as expected, and the First Emperor stabilized people's hearts. Most of the people who could stand here were those with strong receptive abilities, so the initial chaos melted away in a short time.

"You made a mistake..." The First Emperor patted Hu Hu's head and looked at Kong Kun before continuing.

"In the final analysis, the law was set by me, and the old officials also acted under my orders. The Qin Kingdom was unified, and there were some mistakes in my prediction... This is inevitable. Fortunately, I have Si'er by my side. Often advise and persuade...

I am not a king who cannot accept remonstrance, and besides, I also think what Si'er said makes sense.

So I followed Si'er's advice, lowered the corvee, lowered taxes, lowered the price of salt, opened schools, freed slaves, and even today, I accept the advice of the world and discuss Qin laws. Si'er has mentioned it to me before, and I have also Agreed, let Si'er let go and do whatever he wants...

Kong Yu... I know you. Are you the eighth generation grandson of Confucius? "The First Emperor's eyes fell on Kong Yu.

"Your Majesty is concerned about you, that's right!" Seeing the Emperor's gentle attitude, Kong Yu felt less uneasy in his heart.

It is indeed an honor to be able to make the First Emperor look pleasant and still remember his family background. Even for a long time, Kong Kun thought that the First Emperor was an out-and-out tyrant.

But now the First Emperor did not show his cruel side, and he generously admitted his political mistakes, and did not mind taking the blame at all. The First Emperor's image was greatly improved in Kong Kun's heart.

"Well, I heard that you are one of the rare Confucian scholars with profound knowledge. You are the most knowledgeable Confucian scholar in Lu." The First Emperor nodded.

"The people are ashamed. There are many Confucian scholars who are talented in managing the world and the country. The people are not good at studying the classics. They have studied articles and have some modest achievements. They dare not be arrogant." Although Kong Yu was very happy with the evaluation of the First Emperor, he still made an humbly choice. He refused to show his noble character.

"You can't say that. At least few people dare to talk about the rights and wrongs of the monarch with a white body like you." The First Emperor chuckled slightly, and the content of his words changed slightly, so that Kong Yu's mentality suddenly became nervous again. stand up.

Do you want to hold yourself accountable?
Just because you discussed the rights and wrongs of the king?
The negative influence of the First Emperor kept Kong Kun from letting go of his inner vigilance, and he put himself on guard when something unexpected happened.

"Right and wrong, fairness and justice, do not change based on what people say. Even if the people don't say it, will things change because of this?" Kong Kun shook his head.

Hearing this, the First Emperor smiled, shook his head and pointed at Kong Yu.

"Okay, if everyone in the world is as brave as you to accept remonstrance, maybe I won't wait until Si'er comes back to realize my mistake." The First Emperor spoke happily, seemingly not pursuing Kong Kun's offense.

"It's good to be brave enough to remonstrate directly. I like such talents. But there is one thing you did wrong. Do you know why?" The First Emperor continued to ask as if he was making things up.

"Your Majesty, please tell me..."

When a person has a pleasant appearance, no matter how cautious he is, he will actually feel a little more relaxed in his heart. At least, the alarm bells in his heart will not go off like when the First Emperor was sullen.

"I established the law, appointed the officials of Qin by me, reduced corvees and taxes, it was Si'er who opened the schools, and it was Si'er who held the court meeting to discuss the reform.

The fault lies with Gu, and the merit lies with Si'er. As for the old officials and ministers, even if there is no merit, why is there any fault?

You should go to Tangquan to ask for your sins, but you should not ask the grandson of Qin today, nor should you go to the old officials and make them bear my mistakes. Do you understand? "The First Emperor continued to ask.

"The people...know their mistakes...the people only see the merits and hold them accountable, but they forget that they should not do anything to the grandson, let alone persecute the old officials. The people...should not..."

The First Emperor finally admitted his mistake in person, but it was not a good thing to hear from Kong Kun.

When the First Emperor admitted his mistake, he was already invincible.

How else to hold a king accountable? The king already knows his mistakes and can correct them!

And if you look at the behavior of the First Emperor, it should be the fault of the people of the world. After all, who asked you to be ministers and citizens for not remonstrating earlier, and thus not letting the First Emperor go on the right path earlier?
Then Kong Kun's actions and words just now are no longer so righteous.

"What's wrong? You're just admonishing me, not forcing me to marry you. How can it be such a big deal?" The First Emperor smiled.

As soon as the word "forced into the palace" came out, the hair on Kong Fu's entire back stood up at this moment. His clothes were instantly wet with cold sweat, and his body was shaking like chaff.

"The people...the people dare not..."

"Right and wrong are important, as are business matters. Today we are discussing the pros and cons of the old law. If we continue to quarrel like this, how can we change the law?" The First Emperor smiled and seemed to hold it up high and then put it down gently.

The aura of the First Emperor was still too strong, and even though he was trying not to steal Zhao Si's limelight, everyone was still in danger at this moment.

Kong Yu, if you say the wrong thing again, or if you don't admit your mistake sincerely enough, you may really be forced to have a baby.

And...from a factual point of view, the First Emperor would never let others manipulate him.

For example now...

"However... although the old officials will not be responsible for the crime of rebellion against the Qin Dynasty, over time, there will inevitably be some moths among them. In the future, I will let the imperial censor take over the power of supervision to inspect the officials all over the world and strictly correct the moths to avoid them. Those who know the law and break the law, those who make trouble under false pretenses, have caused Gang Chang to sink and the place to be ruined..." The First Emperor smiled, as if he was deliberately giving reassurance to the ministers, and seemed to be making a promise.

"However, since today's court meeting is to discuss the pros and cons of the old law, let's not go too far. Since all the ministers have high opinions, they all speak for themselves. If there is a way to govern the world, I will pick it up myself!"

After saying this, the situation in the court was completely stabilized.

Zhao Si glanced at the First Emperor, then at the hundreds of scholars, civil and military officials, new and old officials, and already had some calculations in his mind.

The old officials, a clique of the old era, were lightly exposed by the First Emperor, because the First Emperor himself took the blame for them.

Obviously, the First Emperor agreed with Zhao Si on this point.

The old officials were on the wrong track, but that doesn't mean they can't be trusted.

All schools of thought must be incorporated into the administrative system. Only in this way can the bureaucracy of the Qin Dynasty not become the hall of the old officials. Only in this way can the political unification of the Qin Dynasty be promoted as soon as possible.

But...it doesn't mean that the First Emperor will let go of his grudges against various schools of thought.

Establish a stricter supervision system?
It's easy to say that the old officials and the new officials are all from Qin officials in the pass.

A hodgepodge of schools of thought entered the court of Qin to compete. It was hard to say who this supervisory system was supervising.
