Prime Minister, don't pick up on integrity

Among the 36 schemes, there is a scheme called: Crossing the Sea with Concealment.

And now, Li Si and Han Fei used exactly this trick.

The same is the reform, Qin can be vigorous, but South Korea must be quiet, all because South Korea is different from Qin, and Shang Jun’s reform can be implemented relatively smoothly, and it is also because Qin’s monarchy is more concentrated than the other six countries. The resistance to the reform is relatively small, but in South Korea, the clan and power are deeply rooted, and the relationship is even more complicated. Coupled with the fiasco of Shen Buhui's previous reform, the ruling and opposition parties have changed their colors when they talked about the reform.

Therefore, at the court meeting, even the edict to re-appoint Li Si as prime minister, Han Fei only mentioned it in one word, and did not say much.

After the initial surprise and uneasiness, the ministers soon discovered that the new prime minister had not proposed a decent national policy except for going to court every day.

So the old snobbery began to let down its guard.

After the promulgation of the first batch of decrees, all iron mines in South Korea were nationalized, the largest of which was the Yiyang mine.

After the spring planting ended, the government recruited another [-] migrant workers to mine iron ore. Although some clan nobles felt a little strange about this, it should not have directly touched their interests, and it did not attract their attention in the end.

In this way, everyone spent the hot summer in peace. Just when the autumn harvest was about to end, the Korean fiefdoms suddenly received letters from Xinzheng, inviting the clan and nobles to come to the court to discuss state affairs.

Regarding the summoning of the new king, even though the clans were full of suspicion, they finally arrived in Xinzheng one after another.

After arriving in Xinzheng, these clan lords were all arranged in a large mansion in Xinzheng City. For more than half a month, no one came to ask. Some impatient lords wanted to go back, but the forbidden army at the door blocked them.

Asked the reason, the forbidden army replied indifferently:

"Your Majesty has an order, no one can leave without your Majesty's permission."

Looking at the three circles of guards with halberds outside the door, the lords suddenly realized that they were under house arrest.

In this way, good wine and good food were served every day, but they could not walk out of the house. In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed, and that morning, the wooden door of the mansion that had been closed was finally opened.

Walking quickly from the door was a young man in black, who had been recognized by sharp-eyed people. It seemed to be Li Si, who had just been appointed prime minister a few months ago.

Just as Li Si walked into the room, someone asked loudly:

"Prime Minister, Your Majesty called me here, but put me under house arrest. What does it mean?"

The tone was aggressive, as if he wanted to take the anger of being under house arrest for more than a month on Li Si.

With a smile still on Li Si's face, he cupped his hands and replied:

"Your Majesty is just worried that you are tired from the journey, and specially arranged this house for you to rest."

Speaking of this, Li Si paused for a moment, then changed the topic in vain: "Speaking of this house, there is a lot of history."

The lords looked at each other because they didn't understand. The king of Han put them under house arrest first, and then sent the prime minister. It is absolutely impossible to tell them the origin of this house, but to say...

They wanted to explain something through the origin of the house.

"Hey, don't you all want to know?"

A lord said curiously:

"Also ask the prime minister to enlighten me."

Li Si smiled slightly, paced back and forth, and said:

"This house was originally the mansion of the Xia family, the three major families in South Korea. After Xia was executed by Shen Buhai, more than 100 Xia family members were slaughtered here. That night, it happened to be heavy rain. The sound was mixed with the cries of the whole courtyard, and it is said that in the end, even the rainwater flowing from the gate turned blood red..."

Listening to Li Si's narration, and thinking that he had lived in such a place for nearly a month, the lords felt a little bit tingly and horrified. After a long silence, Li Si's voice sounded again: "Everyone is frank and frank. Naturally, you don’t need to care about these things, the car is already waiting outside the door, everyone please come with me to the court to attend the court meeting.”

It's okay if Li Si didn't come, but after Li Si came, the lords felt even more uneasy. Sitting on the bronze chariot, the more they thought about it, the more they felt that what Li Si said was true. Shen Buhaijintu came out to speak out, and why?

When the chariot stopped at the carriage and horse farm outside the palace, and then walked into the palace gate, there were thousands of heavily armored soldiers outside the political hall, and hundreds of warriors holding big axes under the pillars , The cold light on the ax made those lords almost want to escape.

At this moment, Li Si's voice sounded just behind them.

"My lords, are you still not entering the palace?"

The clear and clear voice was like a basin of cold water, waking up the lords suddenly. This is the Xinzheng Palace, not a fiefdom. There are a large number of forbidden troops in front of them and behind them. Even if they want to escape, where can they escape?

After entering the palace helplessly, all the officials had already lined up neatly on both sides. Just as the lords stood firm, they heard a call full of air: "Your Majesty—"

Following the call, Han Fei had already stepped into the hall, wearing long clothes and a high crown, showing his elegance.

But the difference is that today Han Fei still has a long sword hanging from his waist, which adds a bit of majesty to the new king of South Korea who usually does not show his mountains and dews.

The empty hall suddenly fell silent. Dozens of pairs of eyes were looking at Han Fei on the high platform. The lords still remembered that the last time they saw Han Fei, he was still standing below like them. , but this time, he has become the king of South Korea, the controller of South Korea's destiny, and they have a premonition that Han Fei must do something for South Korea.

Facts have proved that the conjectures of the lords are correct. After Han Fei took his seat, he looked at the ministers in the audience. He coughed lightly and said straight to the point: "Ministers, South Korea has been poor and weak since Zhaohou. The Qin State is staring at it, Wei Zhao is encroaching on it every year, and South Korea is already in danger. Now, only reforms can strengthen the country and enrich the country, and South Korea can be saved..."

As soon as Han Fei finished speaking, someone jumped out to object:

"Your Majesty! Can't be changed! Shen Buhai also said that he would change back then, so what happened?"

Han Fei's body stood up slightly, as if he wanted to refute his words. As a legalist master, Han Fei did have a lot of words that could silence his opponents, but these words could not be left to him. explain.

Under the high platform, Li Si and Han Fei exchanged a look, with a confident look, as if telling Han Fei, don't worry, I can solve it.

Then, Li Si stood up calmly, cupped his hands and said: "My lords, the reason why Shen Buhai failed was because the reform was not completed, and Wei Guo raised troops to invade. Now the situation is different. Qin Guo's ambition is in Zhao Guo, and it will not change at this time, when will it be more?"

At this time, the lords who came from the fief finally understood the meaning of Li Si's words before. He used the Xia family to block the reform, and all the clan was slaughtered to warn them. The knife and ax hand is for them!

Thinking of those polished axes, the lords' tone was very polite, and they asked tentatively: "Please tell me, the prime minister, how to reform?"

Li Si replied without thinking:

"Reduce the fief and re-divide the land. Rewards are rewarded for meritorious deeds, and military merits are increased. Those who disobey the king's orders and form cliques for personal gain will be killed without mercy."

Every time Li Si uttered one of the three decrees, the faces of the lords turned darker, and after he finished speaking, their faces turned blue and red for a while, and they were colorful and really beautiful.

After a moment of silence, the palace exploded with a "coax". The lords, the veterans in the court, they didn't believe what they heard was true.

Land, title, which is not the lifeline left by their ancestors, and now it is said to be taken back, what is the reason for this?This, isn't this disloyalty and filial piety to the ancestors?

The lords also ignored the previous threats, and they shouted loudly: "We refuse to accept! Let us hand over the land! That is impossible!"

Some people began to accuse and abuse Li Si:

"What are you, Li Si! How can you change as you say! Your lord! I beg you to kill this person! Let the wind be right!"

Amidst the uproar, Li Si looked at the chaos coldly, as if he saw the last struggle of these people. Unfortunately, it was too late. Before you knew it, South Korea had changed.

In the chaotic hall, no one noticed that a general in armor and a handsome young man had quietly walked up to the hall. Those two were Han Li and Zhang Ping, who had disappeared in Xinzheng City for a month. After recalling these lords from their fiefs to Xinzheng, Li Si and Han Fei sat in Xinzheng City and cut off all communication between them and the outside world, while Han Li and Zhang Ping went to do a more important thing.

After Han Li nodded at Li Si, Li Si clapped his hands and said loudly, "Everyone! I know you are not convinced by the reform!"

"Yes, we just refuse to accept it!"

"Kill me, I, Anyang County, will definitely leave Korea!"

"Yes! I, Yiyang, are against it too!"

Voices threatening to go back to South Korea sounded in the hall one by one. Seeing so many standing with him, those lords are not afraid anymore. They are deeply rooted in South Korea, and the fiefdom is like a country within a country. As long as they are willing, Even if it is to leave Korea with the fief, it is by no means impossible.So what about the king of Han, what about the prime minister, without their lords, this Xinzheng city is just a lonely city!

But what they never expected was that, facing their threats, Li Si did not show any panic in his expression. On the contrary, he smiled coldly, clapped his hands again, and said loudly to the warriors outside the hall: "Show me !"

Several warriors dragged a wooden plate into the hall, and on the wooden plate were several human heads.

"This is... this is..."

Seeing one of the heads, a lord fell to his knees with a thud. That head was clearly his son who stayed in the fief!

As several human heads were circulated in the hall, I don’t know how many people have fallen to the ground, either because they saw the heads of their relatives, or because they were frightened by these heads. For a while, the hall was filled with the sound of sobbing, Occasionally, there is a sad low howl: "My son... my son..."

Maybe he is a powerful minister, maybe he is a traitor, but at this time, facing his dead son, he is just a grieving father.

Looking at the bloody heads from a distance, Han Fei on the high platform suddenly felt dizzy, and he turned around reluctantly.

At that time, Shen Buhui took the heads of the Xia family and other three powerful officials in order to reform the law, and Shang Jun executed more than 600 criminals on the banks of the Weishui River. The Weishui River was dyed blood red, but those people All deserved.

Now, what are they doing?For the dream of a strong country, slaughter those innocent people, use the death of others to make these people who should have been hard-hearted, how will they be recorded in the history books?How will future generations see them?

Han Fei cared about this. Those who died were all his clan. According to their seniority, they should call him brother...

According to the finalized plan between Li Si and him, while recalling the clans to Xinzheng, he arranged for Han Li and Zhang Ping to rush to various fiefdoms to recruit local soldiers. If they resisted, they would be killed on the spot.

At that time, when Li Si proposed this plan, he wanted to oppose it. Han Fei's blood flowed in his bones, and he trusted his clan relatives more than these ministers with different surnames. To carry out the reform, the Han family must make sacrifices.

Han Fei suddenly felt resentful. He resented himself for being damn ruthless and calm.

On the other side, unlike Han Fei who was already a little shaken, Li Si, who was completely unmoved, had already seen the right time and continued coldly: "The soldiers of your lords have been reorganized into the new army, and your family members have also been recruited. Properly arrange it in Xinzheng City, and within three days, transfer all the power of the fief to the government, and those who violate it will be killed without mercy."

Amidst the intermittent sobbing, the hall had already bowed down. Whether it was true or false, everyone shouted hoarsely: "We are willing to support the reform!"

From 250 BC to 249 BC, after nearly a year of dormancy, a thunderstorm finally struck in Xinzheng.

The newly selected county magistrates were sent to various places. The secret iron smelting factory was producing extremely sharp iron swords every day. The new army began rigorous training. The slightly inferior iron swords had been sold to other countries through secret shops. The spy with a lot of money has also quietly sneaked into other countries.

At the same time, a young man had already set off from Wei State to try his luck in Xinzheng, South Korea.

For this young man, his father was a pawn guarding the city gate. He himself is a vagrant as his main job and a robber as his deputy. But his most powerful weapon is not a sword or a fist, but his mouth, a Worthy of the mouths of a million soldiers.
