Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 253 Adding fuel to the flames and showing mercy to the prisoners (please give me a monthly recommendation vote!)
Through the ancient times, you understand my meaning best.

Ying Zheng's words can be said to come from the heart, but in fact they also established Li Si's status among the government and the public.

Li Si was the second prime minister of the Qin Dynasty after Wang Wan.

This Taixue sacrificed wine, studied both Confucianism and Law, and now he is in charge of Taixue and the scholars in the world.Half of the fate of learning from a hundred schools of thought is in his hands.

For a time, all the generals focused their attention on Li Si.

Li Xin had been in court for a long time, and gradually understood that being an official in the court was not as good as making meritorious service on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, as long as you make meritorious service, you can be promoted; in the court, strength is one thing, but if you can make His Majesty happy, you can also rise rapidly.

Li Xin's eyes were piercing, and he said to Ying Zheng seriously:

"What Li Jijiu said is true. I think it is indeed appropriate for Your Majesty to rebuild Xianyang Palace."

Ying Zheng's eyes darkened, and then he looked at Xianyang Palace.

Rebuilding Xianyang Palace?
This means rebuilding on the original site.

Fusu felt that this was much less than the cost of building the Efang Palace.

"Father, I also think that Xianyang Palace should be restored. Since the whole world has been a target of Qin, Xianyang has been the capital of the world, and it is a place that everyone in the world is looking forward to."

"Xianyang is the heart of the world. And Xianyang Palace is the top of the world. In the past, Xianyang Palace was a royal palace, but now the emperor is the emperor, so it should be the royal palace."

"I believe that my father not only wants to build an imperial palace, but also re-plan and build Xianyang, the capital of the country, and use Xianyang as the imperial city today; outside the imperial city, build an outer city to accommodate the people."

Ying Zheng felt that what Fusu said made sense and said immediately.

"good."

Zhao Gao stepped forward.

"I wonder who His Majesty intends to entrust this matter to?"

"Zhang Han."

Meng Wu admired Zhang Han the most.

I had long heard that His Majesty ordered him to build the royal tomb, but I didn't expect that he has become more and more valued by His Majesty.

The sun sets over the western mountains, and in the deep shadows of the forest, birds return home.

What surprised the officials was that this time it was the Second Young Master who was second only to Li Xin and Meng Tian, ​​the third runner-up.

Ying Zheng was overjoyed and gave General Lu, the third runner-up, a Baibibai pair that no champion had ever had before. It was a great gesture.

This intention is also obvious.

Accompanied by the setting sun, a long procession headed towards Xianyang Palace from Shanglin Garden.

For the construction of the palace, Fusu certainly could not blame Li Si.

Some things have happened for the first time in history and will inevitably happen again.

Fu Sufei not only did it, but also advanced all these things.

The process of history has gradually accelerated a lot because of his promotion as the prince.

The recruitment of corporals and the relocation of 20 wealthy businessmen from all over the world to Xianyang were both promoted by Fusu.

Xianyang City has and can only have one, but the place is only so big.

Building the imperial city is a must, so it's better for him to go along with the flow.

It's just that to build the imperial palace, it needs to be demolished and rebuilt. As for the imperial city, the key is to build tall walls.

Before the Great Wall was built, the imperial city and palace were built first.These are two huge projects that require a lot of labor.

This waste of time and money must be put to good use.

The car ride was steady all the way.

Ying Zheng, Fu Su, and Li Si were riding in the same car.

Fusu thought for a long time.

"Father, building the imperial palace and building the imperial city requires more manpower."

"The method of recruiting workers is effective, and I should implement it myself."

"However, Xianyang Palace is an important place. The method of recruitment is only to recruit some craftsmen, and there are many hard work."

"I will summon the prisoners to Xianyang."

After hearing this, Fusu smiled and said to Ying Zheng.

"I want to ask for a favor from your father."

Ying Zheng was in a good mood today, with a smile in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng first looked at Fusu, and then looked at each other and smiled at Li Si.

"tell me the story."

"I sincerely request your father to restore the status of the prisoners to civilians after they have been repaired in the imperial city and palace, and allow them to return to their hometowns after the repairs to the imperial city are completed."

Doing this seems to allow these prisoners to sacrifice their merits.

Letting these prisoners regain their freedom and return to their hometown is naturally a kind of grace. Psychologically, it also helps them to treat themselves as Qin people.

Li Si was very cautious about the prince before.

But seeing that the prince's status was at its peak, he could no longer choose his previous attitude of keeping a distance.

"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is true. Your Majesty is so powerful that he is known all over the world. Now that you are showing kindness to the prisoners, you can show your Majesty's benevolence to the world."

Li Si has always been good at adapting to the wind.

His Majesty the Emperor decided to show kindness and power to the people of the world. From then on, he often talked about the words kindness and benevolence.

Ying Zheng sat upright and looked serious:

"Most of these prisoners are prisoners of war from the six countries. When the palace and city are built, I can consider pardoning them."

Help Su and ask for help.

"Your Majesty, I believe that all the prisoners from all over the world are gathered in Xianyang. Too many of them are a disaster. It is better to release them and return to their hometowns to open up fields and increase food production."

Seeing Ying Zheng's solemn appearance, it was obvious that he was still worried about these prisoners.

Help Su and ask for help.

"Your Majesty has collected all the soldiers from the world and cast them into twelve golden men. But today, all the iron mines in the world are in the hands of the king. Without weapons, these soldiers who conquered the country in the past cannot make waves."

Huairen is something that must be done to protect the world.

Ying Zheng already understood this truth and hesitated for a while before making his decision.

"I'll do it according to your plan."

"The minister is the prisoner Xie Junfu who majored in the imperial city and the imperial palace."

As for the Lishan prisoners who used the most labor, Fusu naturally did not dare to mention a word.

Fusu could also see that Ying Zheng made such a decision after going through his own inner struggle.

With Ying Zheng's personality, it is not easy to make such a decision in a short period of time.

Li Si looked at this scene and thought to himself.

It seems that His Majesty has reached some kind of deal with the Prince.

In the matter just now, Your Majesty was actually unwilling to let the prisoners return to their fields, but in the end, His Majesty obviously chose to listen to the prince's opinion.

Li Si was puzzled.

This is really strange.

Others have always followed His Majesty's wishes, but now His Majesty would actually follow the Crown Prince's wishes.

With doubts in mind, before he knew it, he had arrived in the city.

Li Si hitchhiked the emperor's car to his mansion, which can be said to be the supreme honor of a courtier.

When Li Si got out of the car, the surroundings were already surrounded by tiger troops.

The military flags were waving and standing in the wind, the soldiers were all high-spirited, and the brave warriors all stood in front of Li Si's gate.

Its grandeur naturally adds a lot of brilliance to the Li Mansion.

Li Si got out of the car and bowed to Ying Zheng's car from a distance.

"I respectfully send you to His Majesty the Emperor."

No sound was heard from the carriage, but it soon began to move.

But Li Si kept bowing his head and stood there until Ying Zheng's carriage disappeared around the corner of the street.

After Ying Zheng's carriage disappeared and the dust kicked up on the street settled, Li Si straightened up and walked into the house.

Li Si's waist was much straighter than usual, and his face showed an unprecedented look of pride.

The emperor walked around the streets of Xianyang, went to the door of Li's Mansion and placed Li Si at the door. This shocked not only one street, but the entire Xianyang city.

This incident soon spread from Wang W's mouth to Wang Wan's ears.

At that time, Wang Wan was playing chess pieces in his mansion.

The matter of the border area becoming a king was widely spread.

If His Majesty did not have this intention, he would definitely refute the rumors.

But His Majesty did not take any measures to refute the rumors.

Today, Wang Wan heard that the second son presented animals in Shanglin Garden, which won His Majesty's favor.
