Daqin: I have an invincible thermal weapon system

Chapter 40: Mount Tai is enthroned as a vassal by heaven

"Ouch!"

"Ouch!"

The soldiers were extremely excited.

After the selection of five hundred people was completed.

Fusu handed it over completely to Xiang Chu.

Then he returned to Xianyang.

Afterwards, he convened a morning court to discuss the revision of laws. He did not completely deny the code left by Li Si, but put a lot of effort into labor and the construction of the mausoleum.

Every time a Qin king ascended the throne, he would build a tomb for himself in advance.

"My dear ministers, do you have any objection to reducing the number of conscriptions for labor service?"

"I agree with you!"

The group spoke.

The court was in the hall for a while. At this time, the Imperial Censor stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the appointment of officials from all over the country has encountered some difficulties. When Zhao Gao was in power, he forced people to accept bribes, which resulted in no one daring to be an official!"

"Is this happening?"

Fusu was puzzled.

The Imperial Censor continued, "I issued a decree last night to summon all the officials in charge to resolve this matter!"

"This matter is of great importance, so I have to report it to Your Majesty!"

In fact, if this practice had occurred during the reign of Qin II, it would have been considered a crime of forming cliques.

However, Fusu just said, "Thank you for your hard work, my dear minister!"

Just one sentence put many people at ease.

Afterwards, they began to make suggestions one after another, and the atmosphere in the court was very lively.

All discussed law revision policies were recorded by the pen and paper officer.

The discussion lasted from morning to afternoon and then to evening. Even though everyone was sweating profusely, they still showed no signs of fatigue and were full of energy.

It seemed to recreate the atmosphere when Emperor Qin Shi Huang was in power and launched the War to the East.

Be united and united.

When the revision of the law had a basic outline, the first article was to reduce the conscription for labor in the construction of the mausoleum, the second article was to improve the treatment of soldiers, the third article was to establish a new army led by Your Majesty alone, and the fourth article was to provide treatment for the royal family of the Ying surname.

The main focus is on the last one.

"Your Majesty intends to weaken the Ying clan again?!"

This has left many people puzzled.

"The Qin Empire is in trouble now. The treasury must focus on the military. Everything else must be put in a secondary position!"

"I will bear the brunt of this and reduce palace expenses!"

"The Ying clan will understand!"

At least Fusu thought so.

However, a minister immediately jumped out and reported loudly, "Your Majesty, you can never do this!"

"Why?"

"If the treatment and land of the Ying clan are weakened, it will inevitably cause greater unrest!"

This answer really scared Fusu.

"My dear, what you said is too serious!"

Meng Tian, ​​who had been silent the whole time, also spoke up and walked to the center of the hall. "Your Majesty, the last item in this matter is indeed a little inappropriate!"

Inside the main hall, the representative of the royal family, Ying Yu, remained silent.

Fusu didn't show any expression either.

In Ying Yu's view, the royal family was the emperor's most loyal supporters.

Even if the last law formulated by Fusu passed the court, it would be difficult to implement, and the interests of the royal family would not be threatened in any way.

Therefore, Ying Yu did not speak.

The power over land and the appointment and dismissal of officials held by the royal family was quite terrifying, and they could be described as small princes.

"What do you think, uncle?"

Fusu turned his gaze to Ying Yu.

"Your Majesty, you have indeed been inconsiderate in this matter.

"The Ying clan is spread all over the Qin Empire, numbering tens of thousands. They are the reason why Qin Empire is called Qin Empire!"

The voice paused, and then continued: "Your Majesty needs military funds to suppress the rebels. I will do my best to support you, and the royal family is willing to reduce expenditures, but you still need to consider the issue of the management rights of the fiefdom!"

Fusu knew that this uncle was the current representative of the Ying clan.

Neither angry nor happy.

The words are sensible and there is nothing wrong with them.

Behind it is a family interest group.

Even if Ying Yu wanted to give his full support, he was powerless.

There are some things that you have to say even if you don't want to.

Fusu smiled gently and said, "I understand what you mean, uncle."

At this time, even the emperor with extremely high prestige had to make concessions.

"So, let's amend the last clause to: the royal family's fiefdom and inheritance rights remain unchanged, but due to the war period, the tax payment will be doubled. How do you think that is?"

Ying Yu was very satisfied with the words "war period" and cupped his hands, "I second the motion!"

Put aside the identities of monarch and subject, and representatives of interests.

The two of them must be very close.

Everyone was once again shocked at His Majesty's divinity.

It not only took the feelings of the Ying clan into consideration to a great extent.

It also brought together a sense of intimacy between the two.

Everything is left unsaid.

After all the laws were revised, Fusu felt a little tired. He rubbed his eyes on the dragon chair and waved his hand, "Let's stop here today!"

The ministers left the hall one after another.

Fusu looked up at the giant beam above, feeling that it was all just a dream, so unreal that he could not help but be in a daze for a long time. Sitting in this position, even the closest blood relations had to be bound by etiquette.

Stroking the Diao Li dragon claw on the chair and looking at the empty hall, I felt a sense of loneliness in a foreign land for the first time.

The eunuch behind him lowered his head, walked forward slowly, and whispered: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to bed."

Fusu suddenly looked towards him.

This frightened him so much that he fell to his knees.

Fusu said softly: "Zhao Gao abused his power before, you should take this as a warning."

The eunuch trembled.

Fusu came to the harem alone and strolled along the winding road, almost making himself dizzy. The carved beams and painted buildings, the bridges across the waves, were dazzling at dusk, as if he was in a dream.

But Fusu had a different feeling. If the rebels attacked Xianyang, all this would be burned to ashes.

Moreover, beneath this calmness, countless dangers are hidden.

The more beautiful and charming she is, the more bloodless her killing is!

"It's over. Why do I feel lost?"

Fusu walked and walked and didn't know where he was.

"This palace is so huge, but what's the point of building it?"

He was so tired that he squatted on a stone slab somewhere.

At this moment, I heard laughter coming from not far away. I followed the sound, walked around a small lake and a bridge, and saw a group of palace maids playing among the flowers.

This scene brought a glimmer of life to the peaceful harem.

Not so free anymore.

A sweet-looking maid smiled and said to her companions: "These flowers are so beautiful."

As he said this, he was about to reach out to pick it.

The other palace maids hurried to stop them.

"You are asking for your life! This was planted by the late emperor's mother. You can't touch it!"

I wonder how many old stories this sentence brings up.

Fusu's father cried out in sorrow!

On the one hand, he was an emperor who was unrivaled in history. He was decisive in killing and conquering, and he subdued the six kingdoms. He standardized the wheel gauge and the writing system, and his light will shine through the ages!

On the other hand, he is just a mortal who once longed for family affection, but later, he was faced with betrayal by his closest relatives!

This kind of pain pushed Ying Zheng onto the path of brutality step by step.

Until later, he placed himself above everyone else.

Taishan abdicated and received the mandate from heaven!
