This first emperor is awesome

Because of his lack of family background, let alone his rich family background, he worked hard for most of his life, and his official career has only reached the position of chief official.

It is almost impossible to go any further.

Even if it can go one step further, so what?

The greatest height in this life can only be a county magistrate, and it will reach the sky.

But this is far from my ambition.

It's just that the county magistrate and county guards are all appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, and I don't even have the qualification to meet His Majesty the Emperor, so how can I advance in my official career?

These devolved officials were either born in powerful families, or they were the disciples of the ministers in the court. Children from humble families like myself who have neither connections nor family background can only accept their fate.

Just when Xiao He wanted to get himself drunk with one cup after another, the magistrate suddenly ran out from the inside in a hurry, came to Xiao He, grabbed Xiao He's cup and said, "Xiao He! Why are you hiding here? I'm still drinking so much wine, come on, come with me."

Xiao He was completely bewildered, what happened to the county magistrate today?

When I see myself on weekdays, I always look aloof, my face is not my face, my nose is not my nose.

"Magistrate Xu, what is this?"

Xiao He felt very uncomfortable being pulled by County Magistrate Xu, so he directly pushed away County Magistrate Xu and said suspiciously.

"Don't ask, Your Majesty wants to see you, let's go! This can't be delayed, we can't keep His Majesty waiting!"

County magistrate Xu pulled Xiao He up again, and walked towards the lobby.

At this time Xiao He was not struggling, but his mind was blank.

Your Majesty wants to see me?

Are you hallucinating?

Misheard?

Chapter 8 Your Majesty's Longevity and Tianqi Daqin's Longevity

After arriving at the main hall, Xiao He still felt a little unreal.

Just looking at the high-ranking Sheriff, Sheriff, Sheriff, and Censor, all of whom looked humble and sat at the end of the banquet.

Xiao He took a deep breath, he knew he was not dreaming.

Shi Huangdi, the most powerful man in the empire, summoned himself.

It's just that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, whether it's a blessing or a curse, only God knows.

Steady his mind, Xiao He stood in the center of the hall with his head down, not daring to look around.

"Your Majesty, Xiao He has brought it."

The county magistrate of Pei County smiled all over his face, and said to His Majesty the First Emperor who was sitting at the top of the hall with an expressionless face.

Ying Zheng didn't speak, but waved his hand.

The county magistrate of Pei County immediately understood, bowed and bowed, and then carefully returned to his seat.

"You are Xiao He?"

Ying Zheng looked at the unattractive young man standing below and asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the little official is Xiao He, the head official of Pei County."

Xiao He tried his best to control his voice, barely remained calm, and said in a calm voice.

"What is your opinion on the situation in the world today?"

Ying Zheng cut straight to the point and made no secrets.

With my own status, there is no need, and I don't bother to beat around the bush.

To be able to ask Xiao He today is to give him a chance.

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, if the other party is really talented, then I don't mind cultivating talents for the empire.

After all, Li Si is already in his sixtieth year, and his energy is no longer as vigorous as before.

The light and fluffy sentence caused everyone in the hall to be dumbfounded.

At first, everyone was very puzzled, why did His Majesty summon this little-known chief official after he came to Pei County.

Now it seems that His Majesty did not know where he got the name of this person, so do some research?

Especially Li Si, who was sitting on the far right, looked at Xiao He with a strange light in his eyes.

Perhaps it was an intuition from many years of experience in the officialdom that this person is unusual?

His Majesty also admired a genius many years ago, and that genius was his fellow apprentice Han Fei.

Is this another cycle?

This person can impress His Majesty, is it comparable to Han Fei's talent?

Xiao He was full of doubts, how did His Majesty know that he had great ambitions?

Shouldn't it be?

Although he was full of doubts, His Majesty didn't say anything, and of course he didn't dare to ask.

Is the opportunity here?

I have been depressed for many years, but today His Majesty gave me a stage. If I can't grasp it, I am afraid that there will be no greater opportunity in this life.

After the Great Qin ruled the world, even though Xiao He was in Peixian County, he often inquired about the affairs of the world from the mouths of his friends from all over the world.

Especially as the chief official of Pei County, he is very familiar with the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty.

"Your Majesty has great talents, and the empire is full of talents. The laws formulated by Prime Minister Li are comprehensive and extremely precise."

"Since the reform of the Shang Dynasty, the Great Qin has made farming and warfare a basic national policy. Qin people can kill the enemy when they are on horseback, and they can plow the fields when they are not on horseback."

"However, hundreds of years of strife and chaos in the world have ended in His Majesty's hands."

"Now that the world is united and the world is united, the officials think that the farming and war system is out of date."

Xiao He paused, not daring to continue talking.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao He's words fell, all the officials were in an uproar and discussed one after another.

Especially Li Si's complexion was very ugly.

It is his duty as a prime minister to present strategies for the stability of the country to His Majesty.

From what Xiao He meant, he felt that he was incompetent, so could he take his place?

Ying Zheng stretched out his big hand and looked around.

The group of ministers who had been discussing and whispering to each other calmed down one after another, lowering their heads one by one, not daring to meet His Majesty's gaze.

"Continue talking." Ying Zheng's face was expressionless, making it difficult to see emotions.

With His Majesty's approval, Xiao He naturally turned a blind eye to those hostile eyes, and continued: "500 years of wars and wars have already made the land of China desolate."

"It's good to have a strict law, but everything will be reversed. The strict law binds the people of the world like marionettes. If things go on like this, it will definitely make the people feel uneasy."

"Besides, Your Majesty has just ruled the world for three years. Although the laws of the six countries are strict, they are not as comprehensive and detailed as the laws of Qin."

"The Qin people have long been accustomed to the laws of Qin, but even though the six kingdoms are destroyed, the hearts of the people are not destroyed."

"For the strictness of the Qin law, the adherents of the six countries in Shandong can empathize most."

"Hundreds of years of war, all people in the world have suffered from the pain of war and suffered from the chaos of war."

"Your Majesty obeyed the orders of the heavens, obeyed the hearts of the people, swept across the world, and ruled the world. I believe that what the empire needs most at this time is not rapid expansion, but to cultivate health and rest, so as to calm the hearts of the people."

"If everyone in the world fears Qin, then although Qin is prosperous for a while, it will not be enough for eternity."

"If everyone in the world admires Qin, even if Qin declines for a lifetime, it will surely prosper forever."

"Your Majesty shakes the world, and his virtue spreads across Kyushu. People all over the world respect and fear His Majesty. Even if they feel dissatisfied, they can only dare to be angry and dare not speak out."

"But will the kings of later generations, the second emperor, the third emperor, the fourth emperor, the fifth emperor, and the emperor of all ages be as talented and grand as your majesty, and be so powerful in the world?"

"I heard that doctors don't heal themselves, and it's hard to save themselves. The king accepts good advice, and the officials give loyal advice."

After Xiao He finished speaking, his heart was extremely disturbed.

If His Majesty hadn't been as broad-minded as in the legend, his own remarks would be enough to condemn him to death.

"Bold, lunatic, don't choose what you say. Your Majesty's longevity is as long as the sky, and the Great Qin has an endless period of ten thousand years."

"Your Majesty's longevity is as long as the sky, and the Great Qin has an endless period of ten thousand years."

Following Li Si's scolding, all the military officials below immediately shouted in unison.

It's no secret that His Majesty spoke badly about death, this Xiao He was simply crazy, not only said that His Majesty would die sooner or later, but also that Da Qin would die early.

Everyone opened their mouths one after another, blaming Xiao He. Every word you said, it looked like they were swallowing Xiao He alive.

"enough."

After a while, Ying Zheng gave a cold drink.

The bustling hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Ying Zheng in unison, not daring to take a breath.

Xiao He was also extremely nervous, he knew very well that the time had come to decide his own destiny.

And this decision is in the hands of the supreme emperor Shi Huangdi of this empire.

"Do you think I won't kill you?"

Ying Zheng's voice was indifferent, and his eyes stared at Xiao He with a dangerous gleam, like a man-eating beast that would go berserk at any time.

Hearing what His Majesty said, everyone felt that this bold Xiao He was completely finished.

"The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. Although the official position is low, he is still the minister of the Great Qin. If your majesty wants the servant to die, how dare the servant not die?"

Xiao He's face also changed drastically, but he soon returned to normal, sighed in his heart, and bowed his hands to Ying Zheng.

"Oh? Are you not afraid of death?"

Ying Zheng looked at the calm Xiao He and questioned.

"I'm afraid, so I don't have to die?"

"In this land of China, who does His Majesty want to die today, and who can live to see the sunrise tomorrow?"

Xiao He smiled wryly, although these words are helpless, they are bloody facts.

No one in this world can go against his will, no one else.

"Xiao He listens to the order."

Ying Zheng nodded, and did not deny Xiao He's words, because what he said were iron-clad facts.

"The sinner is here."

Xiao He was a little disheartened, so what's the point of living if he can't realize his ambition in life?

"Decree, Xiao He, the chief official of Pei County in Sishui County, will be promoted to the governor of Kuaiji County."

"Yin Tong, the former county governor, paid homage to Shangqing and went to Xianyang to continue his post."

Ying Zheng's voice was not loud, but it exploded in the hall like a thunderbolt.

"My lord, I thank Your Majesty for your grace."

Xiao He felt that his fate was like a roller coaster with ups and downs and changes in an instant.

"His Majesty"

Li Si stepped forward, and just as he opened his mouth, he saw His Majesty cast his cold eyes over him, and immediately swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Originally, he wanted to say that Xiao He's promotion to the county guard was against regulations.

After all, the sheriff is a high-ranking official who is in charge of a county's land and affairs, which is not a joke.

But His Majesty obviously guessed what he was thinking, even if he wanted to refute everything in his heart, would he dare to say no?

Li Si sighed, cupped his hands, and returned to his seat in despair, not daring to speak.

"This Kuaiji County is your touchstone. If you make achievements in Kuaiji, you will definitely have a place in Xianyang Palace."

Ying Zheng didn't care about Man Chaowu's surprise at all, and said to Xiao He.

"I will live up to your Majesty's high expectations."
