Chapter 41
With the opening of the city gate, a group of people hurried over in the next moment.

The leader was a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe, who stepped forward, and behind him was a young man in a blood-red robe.

And behind the young man stood six indifferent swordsmen with different expressions, each of them carried a long sword behind their backs, staring closely at Ye Qiong, the unkindness in their eyes was beyond words...

"Sir, don't say that, sir, you are a distinguished guest from afar, so I came here specially to greet you!!!"

The middle-aged man dressed as a scribe arched his hands slightly, with a slight apology on his face...

"Oh, do you recognize me?"

Ye Qiong raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Si.

The middle-aged man cupped his hands slightly, and then said: "It's not that I know you, but I just heard a little about the heroic deeds of the past few days..."

"you are?"

"My surname is Li, and the single name is Si!"

The middle-aged man slightly arched his hands.

"It turned out to be the Xiangguo of the Great Qin Empire, sorry!"

Ye Qiong scanned the crowd, and then looked at the middle-aged man dressed as a scribe again.

Wei Wei was surprised!

"I didn't expect Mr. to recognize the truth!"

Li Si smiled: "Speaking of which, I still need to forgive you a lot, but I don't know if it's convenient for you, can you tell me your name?"

"Ye Qiong, Ye Zi's Ye, Wang Jingqiong's Qiong!"

Ye Qiong paused, then slowly replied...

For Li Si, if you are familiar with history, you should know it well!
This is the man who helped Qin Shihuang establish a generation of fierce men!

He was a county official in his early years, and later learned the emperor's art from Xunzi, and entered the Qin Dynasty after learning it.At the beginning, he was appointed as Lang by Lu Buwei.Later, he persuaded Qin Wangzheng to destroy the princes and become an emperor, and was appointed as the long history.

In just ten years, he assisted Yingzheng to destroy six countries successively, and established the first unified and centralized feudal country in the history of our country in 221 BC, completing the great cause of unification for the first time.

After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, Li Si was promoted to the prime minister. Anyone who has read history should know that he once suggested that Qin Shihuang abolish the enfeoffment system that caused the princes to split up and fight for a long time, and implement the county system.The whole country was divided into 36 counties (later increased to 41 counties), counties and townships were set up under the counties, which were directly under the jurisdiction of the central government, and the palace officials were appointed and removed by the central government!

This system has been used in the feudal society after the Qin Dynasty for nearly 2000 years.

At the same time, he also made great efforts to unify laws, currencies, weights and measures, and rails and made major contributions.

However, the way this person died was extremely bleak!

In 210 AD, Qin Shihuang went on a tour to the sand dunes in Hebei and was suddenly critically ill. Before he died, he ordered Zhao Gao to write an edict, asking his eldest son Fusu to rush back to Xianyang for the funeral, intending to let him succeed him, but the edict was not issued, and Qin Shihuang died.In fact, it is a matter of course for the eldest son Fusu to be the emperor, and it is not easy to cause turmoil.But Zhao Gao, who was in charge of the emperor's seal and the car, was selfish and wanted to establish Hu Hai, who was close to him and was young and ignorant, as emperor. They helped Hu Hai to come to power together, but Zhao Gao quickly caused chaos and killed his son Fusu. A princess was also killed, causing the clan to be in turmoil and everyone was in danger.

Similarly, even he was tricked by Zhao Gao, and finally sentenced to be cut in half.

"Ye Qiong, Mr. Ye... What a good name!"

Before Ye Qiong could think about it, Li Si suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

"I don't know if Mr. Ye would like to accompany you down for a drink. I still have some things to discuss with your Excellency?"

Li Si spoke slowly, he was very handsome, with the vicissitudes of a middle-aged uncle.

"of course can!"

Ye Qiong smiled slightly.

"Zhao Gao, lead the way ahead..."

The next moment, Li Si turned around and said to the figure in the blood-red robe.

"As ordered!"

Zhao Gao responded immediately, his voice was still so sharp...

"So he is Zhao Gao..."

Ye Qiong glanced at him quietly, secretly remembering the appearance of the other party in his heart.

Zhao Gao is a real person who doesn't spit out his bones, so he must be careful. Ye Qiong is not afraid of the other party, but he is just too lazy to cause unnecessary troubles! ! !

The tavern is Fufeng, the most luxurious existence in Xianyang.

Li Si entered the inn first, Xuan Tianji and Long Qie followed, and they all sat down one after another.

The two had a drink together, Li Si paused for a moment, and suddenly asked: "A few days ago, I heard that Mister defeated the long-known King of Birds, Baifeng, but I don't know why Mr. suddenly came to Xianyang?"

"If I say I'm here for fun, will the prime minister believe it?"

Ye Qiong said.

Li Si was startled when he heard this, shook his head and smiled, "Sir, it's really interesting." He filled a glass of wine, drank it down, and asked, "Sir is a capable person in the world. I have a question that I want to ask, but I don't know if Mr. In my eyes, my great Qin Empire!!!"

"Prime Minister is also interesting, why do you ask me this, I am just a man of idle clouds and wild cranes, how can I discuss the rise and fall of an empire!"

Ye Qiong took a sip of the wine and spoke slowly.

Behind him, Long Qie kept passing Ye Qiong and Li Si with a puzzled face.

"Sir, you don't have to be too modest, but it's okay to say it. Today, there are some people here, and no one dares to say it casually!"

Li Si patted his chest and said solemnly.

Then, feeling inappropriate, he directly blocked the people around him.

The same is true for Zhao Gao.

"Since that's the case, sir, it's okay to talk about it!"

Ye Qiong nodded, thought for a moment and said: "Great Qin is powerful and unparalleled in combat power, but..." He thought for a while and then continued: "It seems to be as stable as Mount Tai, but in fact it is a torrent."

"This...how do you say it?"

A strange color flashed across Li Si's face!
"In the more than ten years after the unification of Qin Dynasty, Shihuang maintained a huge army, established a huge bureaucracy, carried out many large-scale wars, and completed huge national defense construction and civil engineering. It is estimated that, At that time, the population of the country was about 1000 million, and more than 200 million served in the army, accounting for more than one-third of the men in their prime. Qin Shihuang adopted the advice of Zhao Tuo and others to relocate 50 Qin people from Guanzhong to Lingnan to integrate with the local people. , but it led to emptiness in Guanzhong, which greatly shook the foundation of Qin's rule."

"Besides, with the tyranny of the first emperor, the hearts of the people in this world have long been in chaos. Sooner or later, those anti-Qin people will appear!"

"This……"

Li Si opened his mouth, but did not refute.

Because, subconsciously, he agrees with Ye Qiong's words.

As the prime minister of a country, his thoughts are far beyond that of ordinary people. Naturally, he has seen the cause of Qin's disease more clearly!
Although the first emperor was proficient in both literary and martial arts, he was the same!
Too grumpy.

This is what is needed to fight the world, but now it is to appease the world.

If the tyranny is still practiced, then how long this huge Qin Dynasty can last!
