Zhao Zhong's frightened chrysanthemum tightened up, and hurriedly said: "Report to Your Majesty, it's all here. I guarantee with my life, absolutely nothing will be missed."

"Whoa..."

The copper plate on the table was pushed directly to the ground by Ying Zheng, making loud noises.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

All the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were frightened and hurriedly bowed their hands.

A Lu was also frightened by His Majesty's sudden change of expression, and quickly knelt down, terrified in his heart.

If His Majesty just now was a kind and kind elder, then at this moment, His Majesty felt like a man-eating beast, making his heart flutter and thump.

Ying Zheng stood up, looking at the bowed civil and military officials, his eyes became colder and colder.

"Help him up."

Ying Zheng looked at Ah Lu who was kneeling on the ground, trembling all over, and said.

"Here."

Zhao Zhong immediately walked down as if he had received an amnesty, and helped A Lu up.

Although Ah Lu was helped up in a daze, he still had lingering fear on his face.

At this moment, he finally understood that the rumors were true, and His Majesty was truly terrifying.

"Li Si..."

Ying Zheng called out.

"The minister is here."

Li Si hurriedly bowed his hands, then stood up, walked to the hall, lowered his head, not daring to meet His Majesty's piercing eyes.

"If I remember correctly, you were responsible for all these when you attacked the Six Kingdoms, right?"

Ying Zheng said deeply.

"Report to Your Majesty, that's exactly what happened."

Li Si complained endlessly in his heart, he really came here for whatever he was afraid of.

But be careful in every way, be cautious in every way, but you still can't avoid it.

"Then you come and tell me why his father Agou's name isn't on the death file in Baima County?"

Ying Zheng's tone was cold, his words were harsh, and his words were fair.

Li Si felt his head was as big as a bucket, how could he answer?

I don't know how many people died after attacking the six countries and fighting for the country.

Maybe miss a thing or two?

Or deserters?

Or maybe the people below are playing tricks?

I am indeed the prime minister, but with so many meritorious deeds, even if I want to verify them one by one, I have no skills at all!

"Your Majesty, I thought that maybe his father was a fugitive, so he didn't record it."

Li Si said tremblingly.

"I don't want you to think that what I want is an affirmative answer."

Ying Zheng was furious, glared at Li Si, and scolded.

"Your Majesty is guilty, please punish me."

Li Si's heart was a little miserable, what should come, he couldn't avoid it after all!

No matter how many reasons you tell yourself, if His Majesty doesn't listen, what's the use?

"Those who die for the country are all the meritorious service of the Great Qin Empire."

"The law of the Great Qin Dynasty, whoever dies in battle, will be promoted to the first rank, with a hundred acres of land, a house, and five pennies of money."

"Did you say deserters?"

"Great Qin Law, one person fled in fear of battle, implicating the whole family, why is their family safe and sound?"

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and shouted angrily.

"Return to Your Majesty, it may be registered in the record, and there are some omissions, it is unknown!"

In a hurry, Li Si blurted out without thinking carefully.

As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it.

"You presided over the editing of the Daqin law. A person who has made great contributions to the law and omits the compilation policy. What is the crime?"

Ying Zheng is of good character.

"Return to Your Majesty, be beheaded."

Li Si swallowed and spit, and his heart beat faster.

"Go and find out Ding Bo and Gongjuebo from Baima County."

Ying Zheng said to Zhao Zhong.

"Sir, obey the order."

Zhao Zhong bowed his hands and left in a hurry.

In the hall, once again fell into a dull atmosphere.

Everyone's mood is heavy, for fear of getting burned.

About three quarters of an hour later, Zhao Zhong came back again, and bowed to Ying Zheng: "Return to Your Majesty, it has been verified."

"Speak!"

Ying Zheng felt a little distraught. Although he knew very well that the imperial government's decree itself was good, when it came down to it, it was not uncommon for local officials to collude and deceive.

But he accidentally discovered that he was still very angry and had a feeling of being fooled.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Agou, Yushui Township, Baima County, was promoted to head of the village because of his repeated military exploits, and was awarded the third-class hairpin noble title."

"As recorded in the household registration of Baima County, he is still alive and still serving in the army."

Zhao Zhong cupped his hands and bowed.

"Hahaha!"

Ying Zheng laughed, but the laughter was cold.

"This is impossible. My father has been killed in battle for more than ten years. If he is still alive, how can he have no letters for more than ten years?"

Ah Lu's face changed drastically, and he said in disbelief.

"Then, please tell me, Prime Minister Li, what is going on here? Why is a person who has been dead for more than ten years still working for the emperor?"

Ying Zheng cast a glance at Li Si with a powerful voice.

Li Si's face was extremely pale. He had been in the officialdom for decades, and he had already guessed all kinds of things in his heart.

How could he not know about these dirty things in the officialdom?

"Returning to Your Majesty, these people are insane, pretending to be true, and deceiving their superiors and inferiors. This is a heinous crime."

Li Si said to Ying Zheng with a distraught expression.

"What a madman, what a fake, what a lie, what a heinous one!"

"This is the minister of the Great Qin Empire!"

Ying Zheng made a pun, full of sarcasm.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

All civil and military officials bowed their heads and shouted in unison.

"Your Majesty, these people despise Your Majesty, trample on the laws of the country, and chill the hearts of the people of the world."

"If there is no severe punishment, how will the law of the country exist, and where is the power of God?"

"I implore Your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation, so as to rectify the government and restore the state."

Wang Jian bowed to Ying Zheng and said loudly.

"I implore Your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation, so as to rectify the government and restore the state."

The civil and military officials shouted in unison.

"It's been more than ten years. If it wasn't for today's mistake, wouldn't the truth of such absurd things never come to light?"

"Who can tell me how many such ridiculous things are there in the Great Qin Dynasty?"

"I work day and night, work hard, and strictly discipline myself. Since I took the throne, it has been the same day for more than 20 years. I have never slacked off for a single day. I am sentenced to hundreds of prisons in the daytime, and stones in the night."

Ying Zheng's voice was like a grand bell, beating everyone's hearts.

"His Majesty is diligent in government and loves the people, the blessing of the world, and the fortune of the country."

The civil and military officials shouted again in unison.

"The Great Qin has thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, if I have to take care of everything, what use is it for me to wait?"

Ying Zheng patted the wooden case again, and there was a loud bang.

"The ministers are guilty, your Majesty calm down."

The civil and military officials spoke again.

"Where is Ting Wei Wang Guan?"

Ying Zheng shouted loudly.

"The minister is here."

Wang Guan straightened up immediately, and answered with cupped hands.

"Give me a thorough investigation, one counts as one, all of them will be executed, and all families will be exiled to Zhongnan."

Ying Zheng shouted sharply.

"I would like to obey His Majesty's holy words."

Wang Guan immediately received the decree.

"Everyone in the world has greed, but there must be a bottom line. I have made it clear today. If you don't know how to advance or retreat, then don't blame me for not thinking about the friendship between monarch and minister."

"Fish and fleshy people, greedy for food and money, coveting meritorious service, and those who know the law and break the law, I will kill one person if they are investigated.

"I still don't believe it. In the Great Qin Dynasty, there will be no bright universe."

"Which is more attractive, or my butcher's knife is more intimidating."

Ying Zheng made no secret of his murderous intentions, and was extremely tough on the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

"Your Majesty Shengming."

All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty turned pale and bowed to Ying Zheng.

"Decree, Li Si, the prime minister, does not seek his own government, is incompetent under the imperial court, dereliction of duty and idle work, and wastes time in state affairs. He is banned for three months and fined for one year. It is to serve as an example and to secure the world."

Ying Zheng said coldly.

"Minister, lead the decree, thank Your Majesty for His grace."

Li Si hurriedly kowtowed.

Li Si returned to his seat in a daze, secretly thinking that he was lucky.

"Feng Quji, the imperial censor, was responsible for supervising all officials, and he didn't notice it. He didn't care about the emperor's worries, and he didn't understand the people's anger. He was banned for one month and fined for half a year.

"Censor Cheng Bailihua, since his ancestor Bailixi assisted Qin, he has served Qin for several generations. Bailihua was promoted to be in charge of the censor doctor, command the censor platform, and pick up all officials."

"Ting Wei Wang Guan, temporarily acting as the prime minister, commanding all the officials, and helping me manage the government."

Ying Zheng made a decision again and shouted loudly.

"I obey the order, thank you Your Majesty for your grace."

"I obey the order, thank you Your Majesty for your grace."
