Chapter 538 The reform is accomplished!
The war... has begun!

This is destined to be a long-lasting war, so Li Xin is not in a hurry at all.

Zhao Si was not in a hurry. Even if he had great talent and commanded 40,000 troops, he would not be able to defeat the Peacock Empire with a population of 30 million in a short period of time.

The Mauryan Empire did fall to King Chariot, but not now.

A month passed quickly, and Zhao Si had just received the news that the Hangmao Military Mansion had finished reorganizing its army and was heading to the Peacock Kingdom.

The message delay was more than a month, and this was due to the relatively efficient communication system of Daqin.

"Radio, radio, this really involves a blind spot in knowledge. Communication tools are still too backward. At present, let alone colonial plunder, even opening up the free trade market is quite reluctant..." Zhao Si sighed while looking at the military report. One breath.

"What is radio?"

Li Si on the side is sorting out his image. Today is the day when the court meeting will be held to enact new laws. Even though Li Si has been in the court for many years, he still can't hide his uneasiness in the face of the birth of a new era. He keeps arranging his clothes and hears Zhao Si was muttering to himself while holding a military memorial, and Li Si raised his head and asked.

The First Emperor was back, and Zhao Si felt relieved. Although the war against the Peacock Kingdom was a big deal, it was still in charge of Zhao Si. Li Si really didn't know much about the specific situation.

This ritual music is to remind the ministers to maintain a correct image and get ready as soon as possible. The king is about to enter the venue.

The rituals and music resumed three times, and the first emperor Fusu and Zhao Si, who had been prepared, walked out under the guard of the palace people.

Judging from the appearance, no matter which one of the three they are, they are definitely quite majestic.

"Compared to the old law, the new law is the true foundation of all eternity." After a moment of pause, Fusu added.

"This is too far-fetched..." Li Si shook his head and smiled.

Coupled with the reasons for the previous delegation of power by the First Emperor, this kind of chat can actually be regarded as a manifestation of the loosening of the political environment.

Upon hearing this, the First Emperor wanted to make a fuss about his son's insistence on the feudal system, but he gave up after thinking about it.

"Now Da Qin's stalls are too big. It's still too troublesome to send messages just by carriages, horses and boats. The farther away you are, the fewer things Xianyang can interfere with..."

If we follow the course of history, the Peacock Kingdom will be reunited after experiencing a period of troubled times.

With more choices, the requirements for Fusu were also much lower. When the requirements were low, the First Emperor discovered that Fusu, the eldest son, actually had nothing serious wrong with him except for his temper.

This is a rumor that has been circulating for a long time.

One month is the final revision time. In fact, there are no major changes in the content. It is just some minor provisions that have been modified. The biggest changes are the legal provisions on business. Zhao Si provided a lot of information. help.

This is something Zhao Si cannot accept. A divided Peacock Kingdom is a good Peacock Kingdom.

"Then why does Your Highness insist on fighting this battle?" Li Si smiled.

After all, Fusu and Zhao Si have always had good reputations, so they can also be called saints.

Unfortunately, the king of giant chariots is a fatuous and incompetent king, but if the opponent is a promising king with strong national power. Even if it refuses trade with Great Qin, what can Great Qin do?
Zhao Si did not allow a country in the world that had the confidence to say no to Da Qin to exist.

While the two were chatting, the First Emperor, who had finished washing and dressing up, also walked in accompanied by the palace officials.

After Zhao Si took over the New Qin Code, he probably flipped through it.

Although he doesn't pay much attention to other children, after all, they are his own children. As the eldest brother, Fusu is willing to think about his brothers. It is a good thing. It is better than the bastard who slaughters his brothers.

The decline of the Maurya Empire is imminent. Even if there is no external intervention, this empire that has just experienced great unification can no longer suppress internal conflicts and will fall apart soon.

Needless to say, the First Emperor was more honest and sincere, while Zhao Si was more heroic.

"What do you think of the new law?" First Emperor looked at Fusu again and asked.

After hearing the etiquette and music, Li Si, who was a minister, naturally hurriedly packed up and left first.

"If you don't have it now, it doesn't mean you won't have it in the future. If you can fight, just fight. People have to look forward, right? If we don't fight while we have the time, we have to wait until the country's strength weakens and regret it. What's the point?"

"It's the way to govern a country!" Fusu nodded and said.

The First Emperor was over two meters tall, Zhao Si was over 1.9 meters tall, and Fu Su was over 1.9 meters tall.

Because the First Emperor had read the original copy, the First Emperor just flipped through it casually, and handed it to Zhao Si without any major omissions.

Three saints come together!

Fusu believed that emotions were higher than politics, and the driving force behind advocating the feudal system was partly for the country and partly for personal reasons.

The three of them are all wearing formal attire, their height, aura, and the sense of oppression brought about by traveling together are almost overwhelming.

The relationship between father and son has been further reconciled, but it may take a long time for the two father and son to be close.

During the chat, the ritual music started playing...

"A communication tool... The Craftsman Bureau has an idea, but it is very troublesome to explain. In short, once it is successful, it will be quite convenient to send messages to various places. Even if it is thousands of miles away, the morning will arrive at night." Zhao Si said.

"If you don't plan for eternity, how can you build a foundation for eternity?" Zhao Si shook his head and laughed.

The name has not changed, it is still Qin Lu, but the content is completely different.

Moreover, to say the least, although it cannot expand its territory, whether it is opening up trade with the Maurya Kingdom or provoking divisions around the Maurya Kingdom, it will be a good thing for the Qin Dynasty. If the Maurya Kingdom is divided into a large number of people like Ye Which king of a small country like Tiaoguo would dare to refuse trade with Great Qin? "Zhao Si smiled.

Fusu Dingpotian is an excessive existence. The one who is really regarded as his successor by the First Emperor is Zhao Si, and the one who really has high hopes is Xiao Zhinu.

Of course, the main factor is that the First Emperor now has no successors to worry about.

"The framework has been established. Whether it is deletion or modification in future generations, it can all be carried out within this framework. As for some current subtle problems, considering the current situation, they are not problems. Overdoing it is enough." Zhao Si pointed out. He nodded and said.

Although the Qin State did not rule by etiquette, the corresponding etiquette system was also very complete.

"Where is the new code?" The First Emperor looked at Li Si, who respectfully handed the written New Qin Code to the First Emperor.

But to be honest, this was the first time in the Qin Dynasty that the Three Saints came together in the strict sense.

In the past, the First Emperor was in charge, with Zhao Si accompanying him. Although Fusu, as the crown prince, was independent of the officials, he did not sit next to the First Emperor like Zhao Si.

And today...

The First Emperor is in the main position, Fusu is on the right, and Zhao Si is on the left.

The ministers kowtowed, and the three of them accepted the courtesy of the ministers. In the true sense, the three saints were in the same court, which also broke some rumors about the incompatibility between the First Emperor, Fusu, and his son.

Ritual and music resume, ministers worship...

"Previously, Si'er held a court meeting to discuss the pros and cons of the old law. After saying that the old law is no longer suitable for the current Qin State, I promised Prime Minister Li Si to rewrite the Qin Code. Today, the new Qin Code has been completed. I promise that the Shaofu will publish a hundred volumes for your comments. School." The First Emperor looked around at the ministers and spoke in a deep voice.

After finishing speaking, CRRC Magistrate Qian led a group of palace officials and lined up holding trays. Since Sangong and Jiuqing, everyone has a copy of the New Qin Code to observe and practice.

Although everyone with a discerning eye knows that the New Qin Law may have been set long ago, this does not prevent them from being curious and longing for the content of the New Qin Law.

After receiving the New Qin Code, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty read it individually. For a while, the only sound in the court was the sound of reading.

The aura of the First Emperor was still strong. When Zhao Si was in the upper position, there was bound to be a lot of whispers in this situation. The First Emperor was in the upper position, and if he said he was reading, he really was reading. Even though he was a little excited, he suppressed his desire to whisper to each other.

Time passes bit by bit...

The First Emperor waited for an hour.

Although asking the officials to review the school was just a show, and even if some people objected, it would probably be useless, but the First Emperor still gave him enough time.

Zhao Si noticed that most of the people present had already briefly read it, and then gently reminded his eldest father.

The solemn face of the First Emperor's crown finally changed.

Blinking his sleepy eyes, the First Emperor spoke in a deep voice.

"I see that all your ministers have read it. Today we are discussing the New Qin Code. If there are any mistakes or omissions, I will tell you everything."

The ministers were silent because they could not figure out the First Emperor's attitude, and even those who had opinions did not dare to speak for a while.

Li Si wanted to avoid suspicion... Feng Quji had no objection, and Wang Jian was the first to agree after being silent for a moment.

The words are not nutritious. They just mean that the new method is very good and more suitable for Da Qin than the old method. As for any problems, I forgive my old age and my eyesight and I can't find any faults.

It was a good start... Wang Jian, who was a Taiwei, started talking, and the ministers spoke one after another.

In fact, the reform has been finalized at this point. Except for the old officials, I am afraid that no one does not support the reform.

However, it was really difficult for the old officials to go against the will of the First Emperor. In addition, Li Si's blatant betrayal was severely damaged. Therefore, the old officials generally had no choice but to pretend to be dead and let the reforms take effect.

All of a sudden, everyone in the Great Qin court was filled with excitement, and they were extremely happy to confirm that the new law was more suitable for the affairs of today's Great Qin than the old law.

Subsequently, some officials did raise some minor flaws, some of which were really useful, and some of which were just nitpicking, but basically the purpose of the new code has been recognized.

Therefore, the First Emperor did not hesitate and ordered Li Si to make modifications on the spot.

A court meeting lasted until the sun went down because of the constant additions and suggestions from the ministers.

Basically, there is nothing wrong with the New Qin Code to find fault with.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, the First Emperor happily spoke: "The summons is that from now on, the old law will be abolished and the new law will be enacted. It will be spread to all counties and counties in the world. Notices will be posted, and officials will inform the people. Tell the world, and the envoys will hear about it."

The New Qin Law, at this moment, truly has legal significance.

Of course, it will probably take a long time for the New Qin Law to be fully implemented in local areas.

But Zhao Si knew very well that from this moment on, Da Qin had completely separated from the past.

Complete separation!
In fact, it is not Zhao Si who feels this kind of separation. All the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty who participated in the court meeting today feel this way.

All the old officials were in despair, and many of them glared at Li Si. Of course, most of them expressed compliments to Li Si.

With the support of the First Emperor and Zhao Si, and the confirmation of the New Qin Law, everyone knew that Li Si's power would once again reach a new peak.

And the group of new officials naturally seemed to break through the clouds and see the light of day...

For the group of new officials, the determination of the New Qin Code is just the beginning. With the determination of the New Qin Code, the new officials who have been demoted and abandoned will naturally rise again. The era of the old officials has come to an end, and the era of the new officials has come to an end. The era will officially arrive.

As for the various schools of thought and even all sentient beings in the world, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The sky is already dark, but tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

As the great meeting came to an end, I don’t know how many people were running around to deliver the news.

The talented people from all over the world gathered in Xianyang, and the attention paid to this court meeting and the replacement of the old with the new almost reached an unprecedented level.

Unfortunately, Da Qin's curfew system made everyone feel like they had no place to vent their raging emotions.

Until the sun rose as usual the next day, the curfew had just ended and an unknown number of people had gathered outside the Xianyang government office.

With the passage of time, the application of paper has gradually begun to be involved among the people. People all over the world are no longer unfamiliar with paper, a new writing medium, and everyone has become accustomed to Daqin's government decrees and notifications being widely publicized by posting notices. Way.

We gathered here today on our own initiative, naturally waiting for the confirmation of the New Qin Law.

The government office hasn't even opened its doors yet, but the water is already blocked...

In the past, this would have been a crime, but yesterday the new Qin law came into effect...

The government officials worked hard to push the crowd to post the notices...

Obviously, the Xianyang government has also made preparations in advance, and the work notice has just been posted.

After the notice was posted, the traffic jam suddenly changed places, and everyone stared intently at the content of the notice.

"The old law is gone, the new law is here!"

There are a lot of words in the notice, but in summary, there are only these six words.

"From now on, there will be no harsh methods!"

"Qin Fa has changed!"

Some people shouted, some cheered, some praised the First Emperor for being wise, and saluted from a distance. Naturally, there was also a lot of praise and admiration for His Highness the Grand Sun.

Qin Fa! It is closely related to everyone’s life!

Therefore, even if they were not scholars, even if they were traffickers and foot soldiers, they all gathered spontaneously to inquire about the reform.

However, the notice only posted about the reform, but not the content of the new Qin laws. Therefore, some people were uneasy without seeing the new law with their own eyes.

Fortunately, the intellectuals are mostly aware of the direction of the reform trend. What worries them is the old Qin people. After all, they have adapted to the Qin law. No matter how cruel the Qin law is, they have learned to survive and continue under it.

Change is the unknown!
Goodbye! This emotion did not come and spread before the ice and snow melted.

Without him, some Qin officials came out with the New Qin Code in hand and explained the contents of the New Qin Code in person.
