This first emperor is awesome

Apart from this sentence, he really didn't know what to say.

Anyway, this problem, I am absolutely not capable, nor have the ability to solve it.

Class antagonism has been difficult since ancient times.

If we blindly suppress the powerful and support the common people, then who would dare to serve the king?

In terms of righteousness, what is loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

But how many people really believe in this sentence from the bottom of their hearts?

The vast majority of people, who are loyal to the king and win each other with death, just want to gain a bright future.

No matter how loyal a person is, who doesn't want to leave a shadow for their descendants and protect them?

Deposing the enfeoffment and taking back the fief has already made many people dissatisfied.

It's just that because of His Majesty's Tianwei, no one dared to jump out and peck at him.

Even if he broke his teeth, no matter how many grievances he endured, under His Majesty's strong authority, he could only swallow it in his stomach and admit it with his nose pinched.

Even the nobles of the royal family of the Qin Kingdom are still itching with hatred.

If enfeoffment is carried out, they will no longer be nobles with vain names, but crowned kings with real power.

But all these beautiful fantasies were shattered by His Majesty's fist, completely eradicating their thoughts.

As a result, these royal relatives and nobles can only stay in Xianyang honestly, playing a false name, and they are powerless to compete with His Majesty.

These people have endured the deprivation of their rights, but if they want to deprive them of their glory and wealth, they will inevitably jump over the wall in a hurry, maybe.

After all, every year, His Majesty is assassinated, large and small, countless times.

Not everyone in this world is as respectful as they appear on the surface. I don't know how many people are looking forward to His Majesty's death day and night, so that they can have a bright future.

"Corporal punishment is abolished."

Sitting on his throne, Ying Zheng spoke firmly.

"Think twice, Your Majesty, if the harsh laws of punishment are abolished, the prestige of the laws of the country will definitely disappear and become useless. There is no guarantee that many people will try the law by themselves."

Li Si's face changed, and he quickly advised him.

"Do you know how big Daqin is?"

Ying Zheng didn't refute Li Si, but turned to ask.

Li Si was stunned. How big is Daqin? He probably has an outline, but he really doesn't know how big it is.

"Returning to Your Majesty, on the day when the world is unified, Your Majesty will divide the world into 36 counties. With the South and North Wars in the past few years, Daqin has a total of 42 counties."

As a subject, how could he not answer His Majesty's question? Li Si could only bite the bullet and report a series of numbers.

"Then do you know how big this world is?"

Ying Zheng asked again.

Li Si's mind quickly flashed the territory of Daqin, the surrounding Siyi, and soon the world he knew came to an end.

"Your Majesty, Shenzhou is the center of heaven and earth, with a vast land and abundant resources, and rich resources and treasures."

"The four barbarians live in a barren land, the climate is harsh, it is not suitable for farming and living, and it is not a happy land."

"Sitting on the Kyushu, it is enough to be rich in the world, and look down on the alien races from all directions."

After a pause, Li Si replied cautiously again.

"No, you are wrong."

"Whether it's Hudi's prairie or Xiqiang's barren land, they are far bigger than you imagine."

"Those places are not all barren and harsh wasteland. The land in many places is even more fertile than Daqin."

"How does a frog in a well know how big the world is?"

"Although China is rich, it is not enough to look down upon the world."

"The vastness of the world is far beyond your imagination."

"Even if the population of Daqin increases tenfold or a hundredfold, this world is enough for the descendants of Daqin to thrive."

"There is no conflict between Hua and Yi, and the emperor's career is not partial."

"Otherwise, if you live in a happy land and live in arrogance and extravagance, one day the Great Qin Empire will be born in sorrow and die in peace."

Ying Zheng's words seemed to open the door to a new world for Li Si.

Li Si had never thought about this. At this moment, he seemed to feel that this His Majesty, whom he had followed for more than 20 years, was very strange, and the strangeness made him feel a little terrified.

How many secrets are still hidden in His Majesty's heart?

Li Si asked himself a lot of books, and he also had a lot of knowledge about ancient books, but he had never heard of, let alone seen, what His Majesty said about the world.

His Majesty not only arranges the affairs of the present world properly, but even the affairs of the future generations are thoroughly organized.

This kind of thinking is really terrible.

"Your Majesty, can those Hu Di barbarians really threaten the mighty Great Qin?"

Li Si suddenly said curiously, but he regretted it as soon as he blurted out the words.

How could I ask such a stupid question?

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si with eyes, and said indifferently: "For this fertile land of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, how much blood was shed by the ancestors of the Chinese dynasties, and fighting with the barbarians for thousands of years, isn't it enough to prove their strength?"

"It was because of Di Xin's conquests in the south and the north that he conquered the barbarians, resulting in the decline of people's livelihood and the emptiness of the country's power, so the Ji family took advantage of it."

"King You of Zhou played tricks on the princes, and broke the trust of the world. He abolished his sons and established his concubines, causing the collapse of ritual and music. He favored traitors, causing complaints to spread."

"The foundation of the Zhou Dynasty's survival and life was completely disintegrated by him, and he finally suffered the disaster of subjugation and tragic death at the hands of dogs."

"Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood, the old Qin people fought bloody battles for hundreds of years, Fang wiped out the dogs and soldiers, stood tall in the west, and finally swept Liuhe and unified the world."

"Do you still question whether foreign races can threaten the life and death of China?"

Ying Zheng's voice was not loud, but it struck Li Si's heart like a big bell.

Chapter 25 Those Who Believe in Me Will Have a Good Death

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Li Si bowed his hands and sighed slightly in his heart.

"If the country is to be strong, it must first enrich the people."

"In Daqin, there are countless people who are disabled by corporal punishment every year. Corporal punishment is abolished, and hard labor is often used as a substitute for punishment."

"In this way, criminals will be able to receive the punishment they deserve."

"With criminals punished as hard labor, the imperial corvee can also be greatly reduced, allowing the people to be more busy in developing agriculture to get rich."

"Li Si, the laws of Daqin need to be improved and changed in a general direction."

"In addition to the crime of treason and treason, and the punishment of implicating innocent people, it is time to abolish it."

"The laws of the empire should be more humane and kind to the people, instead of being harsh and punishing."

"When the water is clear, there will be no fish. When people observe it, there will be no disciples."

Looking at the somewhat disappointed Li Si, Ying Zheng said meaningfully.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand."

"I immediately arranged the various ministries, organized cadres, and pushed back all the laws of the empire from the inside to the outside, and then rectified the inappropriate parts as appropriate."

Li Si was very worried, but his expression was extremely respectful, and he said seriously.

Does Your Majesty have doubts about his abilities?

This is not a good sign!

"Go! I believe in you, you can do a great job and rewrite the law."

Ying Zheng smiled.

"Minister, leave."

Li Si cupped his hands again, and left anxiously.

Watching Li Si's leaving back, the smile on Ying Zheng's face gradually cooled down.

I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so the most urgent thing to do is to appease the hearts of the people first, and twist the inside and outside of the Great Qin Empire into a rope, so that they can be consistent with the outside world.

I never thought about completely eliminating the powerful, because this is always a false proposition.

Furthermore, he is also a member of the powerful and the biggest beneficiary of the powerful in the whole world.

How could I want to overthrow my authority?

Ying Zheng gradually sorted out the thoughts in his mind, so what if the powerful and powerful disappeared?

Before long, a new batch of dignitaries will be formed.

Faces change, but power never changes.

What you have to do is to hold the right tightly in your hands.

And those so-called dignitaries and powerful ministers are just tools to serve themselves.

Give and take, all in the heart of the emperor.

So what I want to eliminate is not some powerful people, but to eliminate dissidents.

No matter who dares to stand in my way, there is only one way to die.

Those who believe in me will have a good death.

In the seemingly peaceful world, there are actually undercurrents surging, and there are as many people with evil intentions as crucian carp crossing the river.

Most of them are grass on the wall, and they move according to the wind.

It's time to find an opportunity to make arrangements, eliminate dissidents, and dig out all the moths in the government and the opposition.

Even if they couldn't dig it out, it would still make them tremble and terrified, so far they dared not have any more dissent.

After the beginning of the year, I have been in power for 29 years. According to my memory, that is, this year, I was hunting the world and was assassinated by Bolangsha.

Not many people knew about his itinerary, Zhang Liang was able to ambush him in advance, if it wasn't a crooked attack, then someone was colluding.

Do you wish you could die sooner?

Ying Zheng's eyes shone with horror, and he made no effort to hide the murderous intent in his heart.

Want me to die?

Then I will let you wait for death without a place to bury!

"Your Majesty, General Meng Tian asks to see you."

Just when Yingzheng was full of thoughts, Zhao Zhong walked in again and bowed his hands.

Ying Zheng was brought back to his thoughts, his eyes were still piercingly cold, which made Zhao Zhong shiver uncontrollably.

"Xuan."

Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Ying Zheng's eyes gradually returned to normal, like an abyss, deep and unfathomable.

Not long after, Meng Tian, ​​who was dressed in military uniform, walked in pompously, bowed his hands to Ying Zheng, and said, "Meet Your Majesty."

"Huh? What kind of wind is blowing today, that it even brought my General Meng here?"

Ying Zheng looked at Meng Tian with a smile, his tone full of ridicule.

"Your Majesty, three years ago you asked your ministers to recruit elite soldiers from the army to form an iron army. Fortunately, you did not disgrace your order and came here to report to Your Majesty."

Meng Tian didn't dare to be as casual as Ying Zheng, but said respectfully.

Although he has a very good personal relationship with His Majesty and is deeply favored by His Majesty, Meng Tian knows very well that there is a difference between a monarch and his subjects, which cannot be surpassed.

"Oh? So fast?"

"Mengqing has worked so hard, I am very relieved."

Ying Zheng was a little surprised, but quickly returned to normal.

"One hundred thousand iron cavalry proficient in equestrianism, fifty thousand chariot cavalry, and 15 infantry armor, a total of 30."
