This first emperor is awesome

Although the Zuo family was wealthy more than ten years ago, they were not outstanding in the entire empire.

Zuo Ye still remembered that 18 years ago, her daughter was only three years old.

The family's business of water transportation is not good enough, and it is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Just when I was helpless, desperate and helpless.

The daughter told herself that only after breaking down and building up again can the phoenix nirvana be reborn from the ashes.

After all, a three-year-old baby, Zuo Ye doesn't understand why, maybe it's because of despair, maybe people always have hope, maybe a miracle can happen?

Following her daughter's advice, she sold some of her family business and opened Laifu Tavern in Xianyang, catering to ordinary people who are not rich in Xianyang City.

Who would have thought that a miracle really happened, Zuo not only survived the difficulties, but also became bigger and bigger.

Laifu Tavern is also famous in Xianyang City, and has gradually become a household name, synonymous with cheap and affordable.

Zuo Ye was astonished. Over the years, he obeyed his daughter's advice, and the family's property grew bigger and bigger.

In particular, he bought a few barren mountains and discovered a large amount of minerals from them. Since then, the Zuo family has become rich and famous.

The business is getting bigger and bigger, but the troubles are also getting bigger and bigger.

Later, it was the daughter who told me that in life, one must seek something, and saints and sages also have seven emotions and six desires, so what's the matter with others?

If the people don't raise it, the officials won't correct it.But if the officials don't rectify it, what's the use of the people if they raise it?

Do what you like, think what you want, and only when there are people in the court can you be invincible.

It can be said to wake up the dreamer with one word. Since then, Zuo Ye has racked his brains to cater to those officials. Sure enough, as his daughter said, the Zuo family has faced fewer and fewer troubles.

In recent years, almost gone.

But what is the solution to today's crisis?

"Your Majesty, the grassroots have no other intentions. They just want to make friends with some dignitaries so as not to be oppressed!"

After thinking about it, Zuo Ye could only bite the bullet and say.

"Bullying? Make a lot of money, spend a lot of money, buy a large number of courtiers, Chinese and military officials, and you are the only one of the merchants in the world."

"Your Zuo family has bought all my officials, what do you want to do?"

"Are you planning to rebel and usurp? Or are you trying to empty me, the emperor?"

"Why don't you buy me too, how about I let you sit on this throne?"

Ying Zheng pointed to the throne above, and scolded Zuo Ye.

"The grass people dare not, the grass people have no such intentions! Your Majesty knows the lesson."

Zuo Ye was so scared that his face turned pale, and he said with a look of panic.

"What else are you afraid of? You dare to bribe a mere merchant, even my Ting Wei and Doctor Yushi."

"Tell me, what else in this world are you afraid to do?"

Ying Zheng pointed at Zuo Ye's face and roared loudly.

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

Zuo Ye couldn't argue with his words, his heart was extremely bitter, so he could only keep begging for mercy.

"You openly flout the law, drive in a car, wear silk, live in a mansion, bribe hundreds of officials, and add to the crime."

"Those who bribe hundreds of officials in accordance with the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty will abandon the market. Contempt the law, openly confront the court, confiscate their property, and be punished by beheading."

"But if you don't destroy your whole family and exile the whole family, it will be difficult to appease my indignation."

Ying Zheng's eyes flickered with coldness, and he said coldly.

Zuo Ye suddenly felt his world spinning, and he slumped on the ground, as if falling into an abyss.

it's over...

Zuo's century-old heritage, in his own hands, is it completely over like this?

Chapter 2 Your Majesty's virtuous name and kindness will surely shine through the ages

"The grassroots are guilty, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Zuo Ye wept bitterly, and said with a look of regret that it was too late.

"stand up."

Ying Zheng shouted loudly.

Zuo Ye shuddered, and stood up tremblingly, his legs trembling non-stop.

"Are you scared?"

Ying Zheng played with the cold dagger in his hand, and shook it in front of Zuo Ye's eyes.

"..." Zuo Luo.

Scared?

Almost freaked out!

You are dangling around with a dagger, can you not be afraid?

"Grass people... don't... be afraid..."

Zuo Ye's upper and lower teeth were fighting, stammering.

"Then tell me, why do you want to forgive you?"

Ying Zheng glanced at Zuo Ye meaningfully and asked in doubt.

"This……"

Zuo Ye was stunned, yes!

Why should His Majesty forgive himself?

How about being rich?

Bribe Your Majesty?

If you kill yourself, isn't that all His Majesty's?

Why bother?

"Grass... people... don't... know..."

Zuo Ye's heart was in a mess, his mind was in chaos, and he subconsciously said.

Lu Feng on the side shook his head, I really don't know how such a dull person earned such a great fortune?

If Your Majesty killed you and blamed you, why bother calling you to Xianyang Palace?

Why not just send soldiers to ransack the family and exterminate the family?

madness……

Ying Zheng frowned, Zuo Ye didn't seem as smart as he imagined!

This is a bit difficult to deal with, this wooden fish head is completely out of order!

If it weren't for his intention to rectify the water transportation, would he have met him as a merchant?

However, his daughter has made great achievements for His Majesty, so he should not go too far.

"You don't know? Do you still ask me to forgive you?"

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice, looking at Zuo Ye as if he was looking at a fool.

Zuo Ye was suddenly ashamed, his face turned white and red, and he said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the grassroots are guilty, and they are willing to be punished. In the future, I will change my mind and beg your majesty to see that Zuo Wei, the daughter of the grassroots, has made a great achievement for the empire." It’s a great achievement, and it gives grassroots a chance to change their past.”

"The merits and demerits are not offset, and the rewards and punishments are orderly."

Ying Zheng laughed dumbly.

"Your Majesty, Caomin is willing to donate half of his family property to pay for his crime."

Zuo Ye was also impatient, he didn't want to die, let alone let the Zuo family be destroyed by his own hands.

"It's all mine to kill you. Besides, I don't like your stinky money."

Yingzheng felt a little ridiculous in his heart, the world belongs to me, did I send you some money?

Zuo Ye opened his mouth, but didn't say a word.

All thoughts in my heart were ashamed, as if I had fallen into an abyss.

Lu Feng shook his head, this EQ is really low!

"Since you have nothing to say, I will punish you impartially according to the law, but what else do you want to say?"

Ying Zheng felt a little nerve-wracking, this Zuo Ye seemed a little out of character, even if he wanted to, he was powerless!

"Caomin has nothing to say, I just ask His Majesty to be merciful, everything is done by Caomin alone, it has nothing to do with the family!"

"Caomin begs Your Majesty, don't anger the Caomin's family. The Zuo family will forever be grateful to His Majesty, and the Caomin will obey the law and rectify the country."

Zuo Ye knew that he could not escape death, so he could only obey the destiny and do his best.

Desperate to sacrifice himself, but also to protect his family.

Exiled, the Zuo family can thrive in the border, if the family is exterminated, how can I have the face to meet my ancestors.

Qin Fa Zhaozhao, if it is not for the heinous crime of treason and treason, it will generally not be punished with the scourge of extermination.

Liaisons are mostly exile and confiscation of property, and death crimes are not common.

Ying Zheng really wanted to strangle this idiot to death, his brows were furrowed, and he was in a dilemma for a while.

Really killed, can Zuo Nu still serve the empire wholeheartedly?

Besides, those literati are against themselves, it is already bad enough.

If even these merchants are alienated from themselves, wouldn't they be asking for trouble.

It's not difficult to kill someone, but I don't really want to kill him.

The reason why the imperial power is high is because it is a sharp sword hanging on the heads of the people in the world, and everyone is afraid of it.

If the imperial power is abused, without restraint, and everyone is in danger, then it will lose its due power.

On the contrary, it will arouse the resistance and resistance of people all over the world, and everything will be reversed!

Can live, no one wants to die.

But if everyone feels that there is no way out at any time, and they are all dead anyway, they will naturally take risks.

The Great Qin's death is the result of the unrestrained and abused imperial power.

"Your Majesty, I have a compromise."

Lu Feng, the commander of Fu Xi, is also a very intelligent person, otherwise he would not have been selected to work beside the Holy One.

Seeing that His Majesty fell silent, he immediately stepped forward and bowed.

Ok?

Ying Zheng came back to his senses, put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, looked at Lu Feng and said, "Speak."

"Your Majesty, the Zuo family violated the regulations, violated the law, and bribed officials. This is an unforgivable crime."

"However, snow disasters continue to occur all over the world. If he can repent and help the victims, it will be worth the effort, right?"

"Furthermore, the empire's water transportation is chaotic, and merchant ships from all over the country are smuggling prohibited goods. Zuo's classics are proficient in water transportation, and they know the world's rivers, lakes and seas like the palm of their hands. If they can overcome crimes and make meritorious service for the country, it will be a good story through the ages!"

"Your Majesty's virtuous name and kindness will surely shine through the ages."

Lu Feng spoke eloquently, talking about hype.

Ying Zheng gave Lu Feng an approving look. When he met such an idiot, he almost shot himself in the foot with a rock, putting himself in a dilemma.

This Lu Feng is also shrewd and capable, his ingenuity is not inferior to that of Zhao Gao!

"Yes, yes, yes, the order of the seal is true, and the people of the grassland are willing to swear their allegiance to His Majesty and serve the country."

Zuo Ye seemed to have grabbed a life-saving grass, and was awakened by Lu Feng, instantly enlightened, and hurriedly said to Ying Zheng.

"Then it depends on your sincerity!"
