Chapter 19
"How come there are so many prisoners?!"

Li Si pointed to the Tingwei prison, which was almost full, with a hint of coldness in his voice.

"Go back to your lord."

The jailer looked bitter, and he was unwilling to accept so many prisoners.

"It was all sent by the City Defense Army. They said these people were suspicious."

Li Si resisted the urge to draw his sword, and said with a dark face: "Suspicious? Just suspicious? Which law in the Qin Law says that if you are suspicious, you can arrest people!"

Qin Law is very detailed, covering all aspects of Qin State. The disadvantage is that it puts a set of shackles on Qin State, but the advantage is that Qin Law is particularly perfect, and there will be no ambiguity.

For example, this kind of suspicion is untenable in Qin State, and suspicion cannot be convicted.

On a certain level, Qin’s rule of law thought is extremely close to modern times, and there are many similarities.

"What are you doing in a daze? Don't let him go!"

When Li Si gave the order, all the jailers let out a sigh of relief, opened the gates of each prison one after another, and released all the people caught by the city guards that day.

Ting Wei's prison became more than half empty in an instant.

"What a joke!"

Li Si went out angrily.

"This matter must be reported to His Majesty. The rule of law is the foundation of Qin, how can it be abused!"

After leaving Ting Wei's Mansion, the angry look on Li Si's rigid face disappeared.

He didn't call the carriage to go to the palace, but rushed back home, sat in the hall, asked Xi Jun to make a pot of tea soup, and drink it slowly.

Xijun is the collective name for wives during the Qin Dynasty.

The tea soup was turbid and salty. The tea soup in the Qin Dynasty was really not very good, but it was already a snack that only high-ranking officials could enjoy.

Li Si drank slowly, sipping in small sips, and sat like this for a quarter of an hour.

He looked at his own reflection in the turbid tea soup, and had a conversation with his own reflection.

"Li Si, you have already become the Minister of State of Qin, you should be satisfied."

The division of civil and military affairs in the Qin State is not clear. Civil servants can be military generals, and military generals can also be civil servants.

Just like Meng Tian, ​​wearing armor in wartime is a general, and when there is no war, he resigns from the post of general and has served in such positions as the Xianyang Order.

Shangqing is a collective term.

Ting Wei, Yushi doctor, internal historian, Zhisu internal history, etc., these years, the official positions with a salary of two thousand shi are all called Shangqing.

In the court of Qin State, there are only two official positions above Shangqing, one is the position of prime minister, and the other is the position of Guowei.

The prime minister is the leader of the court, and the Guowei is the highest military leader of the Qin State.

Although the salaries of the two are also two thousand shi, their power is much greater than that of Shangqing.

To put it simply, the prime minister is qualified to manage everything in the court.The national lieutenant has the power to handle all matters of war.

Li Si is now Tingwei and one of the Shangqing.

He has never fought a war, and the knowledge he does has nothing to do with fighting. He doesn't say he knows nothing about military matters, but he is almost the same.

If he wanted to go further in Qin, he would only have the position of prime minister, and Guowei didn't have the ability.

tuk tuk tuk
Someone knocked on the door.

Who is bothering me at this time?Don't know what I'm thinking?
Li Si looked up displeased.

Everyone in the family knew that he should not be disturbed by anyone when he was drinking tea soup, not even his younger brother.

This is a habit of Li Si.

The door of the hall was not closed, and the person who came knocked lightly on the open door.

He had a round and chubby face, and the skin on his face was like that of a baby. He looked at Li Si with a smile on his face, like a Maitreya Buddha.

"It is you."

Li Si's anger faded away, he took a sip of the tea soup, and waved at Maitreya Buddha.

"Junior Brother, come and sit down."

Li Si's junior brother had a big belly, talking while walking into the room.

"Going home from the tower, I passed Tingwei's mansion. I wanted to say hello to my senior brother, but when I went in, I found that my senior brother was not there. I heard from the officials that my senior brother was furious because Meng Yi arrested people randomly. He wanted to enter the palace and ask His Majesty to file a complaint. Cang came here See if Senior Brother is at the residence, Senior Brother is indeed there."

Li Si took out a teacup and poured half a cup of tea soup for his younger brother.

"The rule of law is the foundation of Great Qin. Meng Yi messed up the laws and is breaking the root of the Qin state. I must not just sit idly by. I am sitting here quietly because I want to answer with His Majesty later, and I will go to Xianyang Palace in a while."

Seeing the profuse sweat on his junior brother's head, and hearing his heavy breathing, Li Si really wanted to pour the pot of tea on his junior brother's head.

"Zhang Cang! You don't want to die, do you! How can you be so obsessed with the matter of men and women!"

Zhang Cang wiped the sweat from his hands on his clothes, and took a sip of the tea soup Li Si had poured for him.

The slightly hot tea soup entered his mouth, passed through the esophagus and flowed into his stomach, bringing warmth to his body.

He let out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Zifeiyu, how do you know the joy of fish?"

"Don't use that madman's words to prevaricate me!" Li Si's rigid face was full of solemnity.

"You are so weak and fat. If you don't consolidate your energy and guard your yang, but still indulge in carnal desires, how will you survive soon?!"

Zhang Cang is fat, his eyes are small, and he loves to laugh.

So most of the time, others couldn't see Zhang Cang's eyes, because of the squeeze of fat on his face, Zhang Cang's eyes were often narrowed into a slit.

Holding the tea soup in one hand, Zhang Cang gently blew on it with his mouth, and then used the two slits to face senior brother Li Si.

Although he had a smile on his face, there was no smile in what he said.

"Brother, you and I may not be the one who went to see Senior Brother Han Fei first."

Han Fei.

Li Si's blood was so hard to calm down that he felt a strong and indelible sadness.

He thought he had forgotten about this person...

Han Fei, Li Si, and Zhang Cang were all students of Xunzi.

When they were in Jixia Academy, the three of them had the best relationship, Han Feixiu was the best in learning, Li Si was second, and Zhang Cang was the last.

After returning from school, Han Fei went to South Korea, and Li Si and Zhang Cang came to Qin.

In this era, the best honor for a scholar is to get the word "zi".

For example, Confucius, Laozi, Xunzi, and Mencius are all respectful titles.

It is a great honor to get a "Zi" character in your lifetime.

And what about Han Fei?Before he was 30 years old, he was honored as Han Feizi by others.

His book is also called "Han Feizi". After reading it, Ying Zheng said, "If you see this person and play with him, you will die without regret."

The translation means that if I meet Han Fei and take two steps, I will have no regrets if I die now.

Being able to easily get the word "Zi" and being able to be valued so much by the talented and sweeping Liuhe Emperor Shihuang shows how amazing and brilliant Han Fei is.

For Han Fei's sake, Ying Zheng sent troops to the border of South Korea, calling for Han Wang'an.

"If you don't hand over Han Fei, I will destroy your Korea."

Han Wangan didn't hesitate, and happily handed over Han Fei, and Han Fei entered Qin Dynasty.

From then on, Han Fei, Li Si, and Zhang Cang met each other in Qin State, and they were ministers in the same hall.

After a few months, Li Si and Han Fei disagreed on whether Qin should rule the world, whether Zhao should be destroyed first, or whether it was South Korea.

 Thank you for the vigorous chapter push of the newspaper, I have to go face-to-face when I have time, thank you!
