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

Chapter 536 Daily Life of Grandfather and Grandson
Perhaps it was because of the majesty of the First Emperor. In short, after the First Emperor appeared, the chaotic court fell silent instantly, and the chaotic debate finally returned to discussing the pros and cons of the old law.

Politics is about trial and error again and again.

The old officials were firmly protected by the First Emperor and Zhao Si. After the First Emperor returned, no one dared to continue to dwell on this issue.

After all, the laws of Great Qin have not changed yet, and it is very possible to steal the chicken but lose the rice, so everyone obediently began to discuss the pros and cons of the old law.

At this point, everything has basically been set.

Hundreds of officials and even hundreds of scholars unanimously affirmed the contribution of Shang Yang's reform to the unification of the Qin Dynasty and the great role played by the old officials in it, and began to discuss what aspects of the old law were not suitable for this era, which caused the chaos of the Qin Dynasty after the unification of the world. out.

After intense discussion, everyone's opinions were probably unified.

The main contradiction is that Da Qin has too many laws and regulations, too many even sitting laws, and the laws are too strict.

This is what Zhao Si has thought about a long time ago. In fact, Li Si's new code has already focused on these aspects.

"The times are changing. Today is different from the past. Laws also need to be reformed. The old laws are no longer suitable and should be changed." The First Emperor nodded and approved the unanimous vote of the ministers.

Although in theory, as long as the central government guarantees strength, Zhao Tuo will most likely be honest, but Zhao Si does not want to test human nature, and since there is really no one available, it is best to block the hole in advance.

All schools of thought are at the end of their rope, and they can only survive by waiting for reforms. If Kong Kun really presses forward step by step, Zhao Si will just say: This method has not changed, and the school will not be opened. There is no need to say absolutely, and there is no need to go back on your words. After being treated coldly for a period of time, all the schools of thought will be unable to sit still.

Although he was not fond of his disciple, at least his teachings were not hidden. In this era of knowledge blockade, Shusun Tong's background made him what he is today, and Kong Yu was indispensable.

"Big father..."

"It's not necessary...it can be solved in a while, so why bother? Besides, you can handle this matter, so I can't do it for you." Zhao Si shook his head.

One month is a short time, and theoretically it is impossible to come up with a brand new code, but who told Li Si to have the new code ready before the court meeting.

No matter how much you say it, it's useless. All schools of thought have hit bottom. It's them who need the resources in Zhao Si's hands, not Zhao Si who needs them.

"It's the various schools of thought that are begging me, but I am not begging them. The worst that can happen is that the meeting will be abandoned, and then there will be hundreds of schools of thought debating the scriptures alone. It will just be a waste of time." Zhao Si smiled and said.

Even if Kong Kun didn't like him, even if Kong Kun would resent him because of what happened today, Shusun Tong would never forget this kindness.

Given the plight of the various schools of thought, there is basically no way out. For most people, change is a good thing.

The First Emperor was still so arbitrary that he, a world-famous Confucian, did not get much respect.

"Teacher..." Shusuntong chased after him, but stopped when he wanted to get closer.

"Prime Minister Li will take up the task of reforming the law. In one month, I will see the new law come out. At that time, I will summon hundreds of officials for the evaluation of the ministers and reform the law to respond to changes in the current situation." nodded.

"From now on, I am no longer your teacher." Kong Yu was silent for a moment and shook his head.

"My lord, I swear to live up to my command!" Li Si bowed and accepted the order.

Today's court meeting is not too long, but the amount of information is very large, and it involves reform matters.

This was decided a long time ago. The Lingnan side has a vast territory, many soldiers, and a large population. Now that Ren Xiao has retired, it is impossible for Zhao Si to let Zhao Tuo be the king of the mountain in Lingnan alone.

In the palace, Zhao Si stood in front of the First Emperor with his little child in his arms.

Shusuntong raised his head and silently glanced at Kong Kun, who was leaving with complicated emotions, and then he hesitated for a moment and chased after him.

"Why don't you put the fault on me?" the First Emperor said with a smile.

Perhaps it was Shusun Tong's true feelings that made Kong Kun's resentment melt away a little. Kong Kun was silent for a long time, and finally did not say the harsh words he was brewing. He just shook his head and turned his back: "Just take care of yourself."

The First Emperor nodded, and after some more words of exhortation, the court meeting finally came to an end amidst the sound of ritual music.

After saying that, Kong Yu turned around and left...even his body was a little stooped.

"Disciple will go to Lingnan soon..." Shusun Tong said.

Although Kong Kun has not always had a high opinion of Shusuntong, to be honest, Shusuntong is very grateful to Kong Kun as a teacher.

After all, Zhao Si was not a grandson who could be manipulated by others, and his high spirits when he came were now completely in decline.

He can also do what he wants to do and clear out the traitors around His Highness the Grand Sun.

Kong Yu stopped and turned around, looking at Shusuntong with complex eyes.

Zhao Si could afford to wait, but the hundreds of scholars who came all the way could not afford to wait.

After the First Emperor, Li Si, Xiao Zhinu and Amber left together, the originally silent court slowly became noisy again.

"What are you going to do if Kong Yu doesn't let go?" the First Emperor sat down and asked.

Kong Yu seemed to have the initiative, but that was just a look.

"What about other than that?" the First Emperor continued to ask.

"You know I won't blame you."

Politics is nothing more than weighing and pulling.

"Your Highness has been urging the disciple to leave. The reason why the disciple waited until now is because he heard the news that the teacher was rushing to Xianyang, so he stayed in Xianyang to say goodbye to the teacher." Shusuntong lowered his head and said softly.

It's hard to say that Shusun Tong had the ability to lead troops, but he still had the ability to govern.

Li Si felt a big stone fall in his heart. He had taken a lot of risks for the reform. Now that the reform is enacted, it means that his precarious position and little remaining authority will become stable again.

After saying these words, the minds of the officials were finally settled. At the very least, it was certain that Da Qin was indeed going to reform.

Today’s issue is reform…

In fact, it seemed that Kong Yu was pressing harder today, but in fact it was just that Zhao Si didn't want to waste time.

"There is no other reason..." Zhao Si shook his head and suddenly realized the implication of the First Emperor's words and spoke again.

"My eldest father, you don't think I'm that pedantic and arrogant person, right? The reason why I don't take responsibility for your eldest father is because I'm not the eldest father, and making my own decisions would only look cowardly. In this way, they don't know how to continue to torment. What kind of things are greedy and useless for reform?

If it happened to me, I would naturally take responsibility for my subordinates. After all, the old officials only acted according to orders. In terms of their deeds, most of them were worthy of their official positions and powers. They cannot be pushed aside for the sake of the so-called king's face. Go out... It is too difficult for a person not to make mistakes, and the same is true for kings.

Compared to a wise king who makes no mistakes, Sun'er thinks that a king who can protect his subjects is more convincing. You can't let your subordinates think about how to protect themselves when they are doing things for the king, right? How can we do good things when we are so distracted and afraid to let go?
Moreover, to take a step back, if a person wants to correct his mistakes, there will always be various mistakes. Sun'er thinks that he is not a true saint, and he cannot become a saint. It does not affect the overall situation and is generally unsatisfactory. If not, one minister will be held accountable for today's mistake, and another will be blamed for that mistake tomorrow. If things go on like this, people's hearts will be separated. "Zhao Si shook his head.

The so-called saying that there is no joke in heaven and that the emperor cannot make mistakes... are just the imagination of a group of boring people.

If a monarch is obsessed with face, generally speaking, this monarch is not a wise monarch.

Machiavellianism does not equal ability...

Looking through history, how many of the emperors who ranked high in the rankings wanted to save face and suffered?
As for taking the blame? This is even simpler. Only the boss who can take the blame will have someone to follow him. The emperor who does not take the blame, no matter how talented he is, will inevitably be restrained in order to protect himself.

There are ready-made examples there. The last emperor of the Ming Dynasty used the crooked neck tree to prove that an emperor who is unwilling to take the blame for his ministers is not a good emperor.

"In this case, I am worrying too much..." The First Emperor smiled and shook his head.

"My eldest father is indeed worried too much." Zhao Si held the little child slave and sat next to the First Emperor and poured tea for the First Emperor.

"On the contrary, with your face, if you insist on these things, I will have to consider whether you, the grandson, are worthy of the title." The First Emperor said with a smile.

"Tsk..." Zhao Si was not afraid at all after hearing this. He even tutted twice to shame the First Emperor. He was not afraid that the First Emperor would change to someone else.

The so-called supervising the country is an experience and the last inspection.

After leaving for a long time, Zhao Si controlled almost all the power, and even the First Emperor gave Zhao Si his jade seal and seal.

It's trust and indulgence...

In fact, Zhao Si did not lose himself because of the so-called power.

The ability to show is secondary. It is enough to be able to ignore the appearance of things and understand the essence of power.

"But since the eldest father is back, this jade seal and seal will be returned to the eldest father." Zhao Si thought for a moment and said.

"So impatient?" The First Emperor frowned slightly.

"Tired... Having said that, let's try to change the official system as much as possible. Now that we have paper, the eldest father also knows the virtues of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. It is not easy to reprimand too much. Saying hello is also someone's intention. In the future, Sun I guess handling government affairs is no longer something that can be solved by diligence," Zhao Si said.

"Have you got any new ideas?" the First Emperor asked.

"There are a lot of things going on right now, so there is no time for it, but since the eldest father is back, I can think about it when I have some free time." Zhao Si smiled and couldn't wait to throw this lot of stalls to the First Emperor.

There is no need to think about it, just copy it directly from history.

For Zhao Si, the only difficulty was which dynasty's system to copy.

The cabinet? Or something else?

In short, it is more efficient and advanced than the current government system.

"If you want to be more relaxed in your affairs, you should prioritize things..." the First Emperor said.

"That being said, my eldest father should also consider that this is my first time to supervise the country. If my eldest father lets me practice, that's all. Who is the first time a serious grandfather supervises a country and directly asks his grandson to preside over the reform?" Zhao Si looked at it with resentment. First Emperor.

The First Emperor was forced to stop preaching...

Having said that, it is indeed true...

It is actually very difficult for Zhao Si to supervise the country as the grandson and complete so many explosive policies while the emperor is still alive and in Guanzhong.

No mistakes were made which was a great success.

Of course, this was mainly due to the changing times, Zhao Si's policies were in line with the times, and the strong support of the First Emperor, plus Zhao Si's own reputation was not low.

Strictly speaking, if there was a scoring system and everyone rated it, Zhao Si's score would probably be higher than that of the First Emperor.

People in the world were more afraid of the First Emperor, but Zhao Si's image was quite friendly to the people.

If one day the First Emperor really couldn't think of killing Zhao Si, even the prestige of the First Emperor would be enough to suppress him.

"Okay... I allow you to rest for a while, just to spend some time with your little slave." The First Emperor waved his hand.

"But you still need to keep an eye on the affairs of the Peacock Kingdom and the Aviation Trade Military Palace..." the First Emperor said.

When Zhao Si heard this, he naturally agreed with joy.

This matter is simple. Anyway, the general combat goal has been set. It is all over the world. All Zhao Si can do is take care of the logistics. As for the battlefield, you can't micro-manage it, right?
"Speaking of which, should the soldiers and horses of the Hangmao Military Mansion be assembled?" the First Emperor asked.

Obviously... after so much time, they have naturally gathered.

In fact, the troops of the Aviation and Trade Army Mansion have already been assembled and are heading towards the Peacock Kingdom along the coast.

At the same time, the envoys sent by Great Qin had already arrived at the Peacock Kingdom for the final round of negotiations.

The news that Qin had sent troops caused an uproar in the court of Peacock Kingdom.

Since King Juche seized Qiu, there was no shortage of courtiers collecting information about the country of Da Qin.

After obtaining information about Da Qin from Ye Tiaoguo, there was naturally no shortage of loyal ministers to persuade King Juche not to offend Qin.

The Giant Car King was actually a little uneasy, especially since there were not a few people trying to persuade him.

However, Zhao Si's personal credentials easily intensified the conflict.

Zhao Si's letter of credence is really not polite at all. In short, if he sends our Qin envoy back unceremoniously and apologizes to the Qin Dynasty, the matter will not be over.

The king of giant chariots was furious because of this. The traitors around him also analyzed from an objective point of view that the Qin State was so far away that there was no way to mobilize an army. Even if it mobilized an army, the Peacock Kingdom's land and troops would be as good as those of the Qin State, and there would be no failure in the fight. possible.

Therefore, the King of Giant Cars felt at ease. In addition, the objective facts are indeed the case. Anyone who knows a little bit about war knows that the reality is like this.

The king of giant chariots insists on going his own way. Even if he makes mistakes first, no one can say that Qin has a greater chance of winning.

Therefore... after learning that Qin was sending troops, King Jucha instead of feeling intimidated began to order soldiers to be recruited to prepare for war.
