Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 275: Wrong choice can lead to death (please reward me with monthly recommendation votes!)
But looking back on the matter afterwards, this move almost made him lose his prestige in the court.

If it wasn't for His Majesty the Emperor, who would have paid more attention to him and trusted him more, he might have been isolated in the court early on.

Every time Li Si thought about this matter afterwards, he felt that the situation at that time was extremely dangerous.

The confidence of ministers and the trust and favor of the emperor are both very important.

Never put yourself in a situation where you have to make this choice unless absolutely necessary.

If he makes the wrong choice, all of Li Si's hard work from being a government official in Xiacai warehouse to his current position will be in vain.

The last time he chose to stand with His Majesty the Emperor was a huge gamble in itself.

Yesterday, the "Lü Lan" discussion ended and when he went to bed, Li Si anticipated that he might have to present the result of a hundred schools of thought to His Majesty the Emperor in the court today.

At the moment, so many people's eyes were focused on him, Li Si, and he knew that he had to speak.

Although there were no Taoists, Yin-Yang schools, or famous scholars in the Qin court, the court was now filled with disciples of the Qi Legalists, Confucians, and political strategists like Yao Jia.

Although the status of the political advisors in the court was not as good as before, Yao Jiana was a high official.

The people of the strategist's family are like the copper furnace in the court, they are decorations, but they are decorations of merit and glory.

If he puts forward the idea of ​​abolishing hundreds of schools now, the first person to oppose it will definitely be Chunyu Yue, and then other Confucian scholars will try their best to oppose it; the Qi Legalists were originally from Taixue in this "Lü Lan" discussion He stole the limelight and now has a place in the court, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also likes these Qi Fa family very much.

Can't say it clearly.

He had to go to the meeting to ask for instructions from His Majesty the Emperor.

Finally, Ying Zheng's gaze also fell on Li Si.

"Li Si, what's the situation with the theory of "Lu Lan"?"

Many of the celebrities attending this forum were serving in the government.

Naturally, they all came to this grand meeting today.

These ministers, who usually did not have a high status and held inconspicuous official positions, saw that the eyes of the entire government and the public were on Li Si, and they all laughed secretly.

It was no match to see Li Si making a joke himself, but what they saw from the discussion in "Lü Lan" was that the Qin Legalists were despised by everyone.

Li Si was indeed famous in Xianyang for his knowledge, and many famous scholars admired him.

But he regarded himself as Qin Fa's family, and in the end, none of the famous scholars in the hundred families chose to side with Qin Fa's family.

Liston paused.

This is rare.

Li Si has always been a quick thinker. When Ying Zheng asked him anything, he answered very quickly, and he often responded to Ying Zheng's wishes.

Tu Wei also looked at Li Si.

From a court captain to a sacrificial wine, you, Li Si, deserve it.

If you hadn't insisted on establishing a system of prefectures and counties after the war in the world, maybe His Majesty the Emperor would have chosen to enfeoff the border areas.

I have been slaughtering soldiers for half my life, but now I can only hold a small title and be assigned to Xianyang. If the system of enfeoffment was implemented at the beginning, it is entirely possible that he will be assigned a fiefdom based on his military achievements.

Even if it is a tiny place, he is the king alone, but he is at ease.

Li Si was silent for a moment and then said:
"Reporting to Your Majesty. All the famous scholars gathered in Taixue to discuss the outline "Lü Lan" formulated by Your Majesty for three days. However, I think it is not enough."

The deadline Ying Zheng gave Li Si was before the end of the year.

It's still very early.

Ying Zheng is also a man of great learning and has read "Lü Lan" thoroughly. He understands that this task cannot be completed overnight.

However, although this was just the first discussion among hundreds of schools, he still wanted to hear Li Si's opinion.

Judging from the worry on Li Si's face just now, there must be something that cannot be said in court.

This once again corroborates what Ying Zheng said from those records.

Qin Fa's family rejected them.

"Afterwards, come and see me."

"My minister obeys."

Your Majesty wants to summon Queen Li Si to discuss the matter again, so he must be talking privately again.

When the ministers heard this, they were jealous.

Ying Zheng said again.

"If you have nothing to do, you can retreat."

The era of great unification was generally a post-war reconstruction work.Since the method of industrial vibration is effective, it is natural to make full use of it.

"Your Majesty - I have a proposal."

Today in the court, there are really ups and downs.

When the prince opens his mouth, he will inevitably make some shocking remarks.

The prince often did things that betrayed the laws of his ancestors.

Wang Bi, Tu Wei, and Zhao Tuo all set their sights on Fusu.

They want to watch something fun, interesting.

Ying Zheng's face suddenly stiffened.

He hoped that Fusu would not openly say something that sounded very arrogant in the hall.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that the method of work revitalization is quite effective. Therefore, I would like to start more fortifications in the counties and counties to build the city walls that were damaged after the war, rebuild the important cities in the counties and counties, recruit people as workers, and provide food and clothing."

Ying Zheng rubbed the hilt of his sword.

"What do you think of the prince's proposal?"

The first person Ying Zheng picked was Tu Wei.

In the past two years, Tu Wei's face has grown a lot more fleshy, and there is also a lot of disrespect in his eyes.

Ying Zheng looked around and focused his gaze on Tu Wei, who had a secretly happy expression on his face.

"Tu Wei, what do you think?"

Tu Wei was surprised.

When he came to court, it was just for fun.

Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin, Wang Ben and others have all gone out to suppress the border areas, and now there are only a dozen generals left in the court.Except for those generals who were awarded the title of marquis because of their extremely high military merits, he was considered a general with a higher status in the court.

But even so, there was no war to fight and no war to discuss, so Tu Wei added up all the times he went to court in the past year and made no more than five remarks in court.

Tu Wei was naturally panicked.

"Chen—" said, Tu Wei asked Zhao Tuo for help with his eyes.

A sharp voice came from the front.

"What do you think?"

Tu Wei said hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, I think what the prince said is absolutely true. By doing this, we can induce the people to gather in one place and prevent them from hiding in remote places and gathering people to cause chaos."

Ying Zheng said nothing.

These generals who spend their free time in Xianyang City often meet together, and they don't know what they are talking about.

Ying Zheng could tell that they were very idle, so anxious that they were even looking forward to some trouble in the court.

Help Su and ask for help.

"Your Majesty, I still have something to say."

"Say--"

Not many ministers noticed that under Ying Zheng's wide black sleeves with python patterns, one hand was tightly clenched into a fist.

"We are thousands of miles apart today, but as far as I know, there are still many places that have not been opened up. There are tens of millions of people in the world now. Because of the war, the population has plummeted. I sincerely request your majesty to allow the people to open up wasteland in the border areas to increase grain production. , to produce offspring."

It’s long past time to open up wasteland and increase productivity.
