My Brother Daqin No. 1 Dude

Chapter 270 The Anxious First Emperor ([-] words plus monthly ticket!)
The man tore off the mask, revealing an angry and powerful face. It was the Emperor Shi Huang, the master of the Great Qin Empire.

puff~
Ying Chengxun was so advanced in martial arts that he hadn't reacted yet. The old man who was sitting in front of him had knelt down in front of the first emperor, bowing his head and crying.

"Your Majesty! Ze accused Lord Chang'an of rebellion! Lord Chang'an personally told his ministers that he would do the king's work and..."

Cai Ze poured beans out of a bamboo tube, and uttered everything in a clatter.

From what I said to Ying Chengxuan after I went to prison, and what I did during this period, I have a little bit of micro-processing to tell them all.

It would take a while to describe this experience in words.

While Cai Ze was narrating with his head down, Emperor Shihuang frowned and stared hard at his younger brother who would not let him stop.

I don't know what Ying Chengxun intends to do, and the first emperor who doesn't want to ruin Ying Chengxun's affairs opened his mouth and said silently - what kind of tricks are you playing?
Ying Chengxi sighed silently, shook his head, and raised his hands flat.It means that this matter has nothing to do with me, and I am helpless.

"Ze Wan refused to die, saying that His Majesty is the Lord of the Mandate of Heaven, and those who disobey the traitor will be punished by God. But Lord Chang'an claimed to be the king of Zhaoxiang, and he was the king of the three kings of Qin. His words and deeds are crazy. Paradoxical..."

Cai Ze continued to discuss. Emperor Shihuang knew that this was not ordered by Ying Chengxuan, so he didn't want to listen anymore. He didn't have so much free time.

Immediately, he took up a conversation and said: "This statement is not false, grandfather, elder father, and uncle are indeed more interested in this Zhuzi."

Kneeling on the ground talking dry mouth, the old man who had been expecting what the first emperor would say in his heart finally waited for the holy news from the first emperor.

The old man mobilized his quick thinking, old but not slow brain, trying hard to prove his innocence and loyalty based on the words of the first emperor.

Then, the old man realized that he was really old, and his mind was also old. He didn't know what to say.

He prostrated himself on the ground without making a sound.

The First Emperor squinted at Ying Chengxue, you want me to help him up, you idiot?
Ying Chengxun rolled his eyes, lowered his hands to support Cai Ze, and said with a half-smile, "Sir, you are really loyal and unyielding. A minister will not do anything. The second master would rather die than betray the master."

Cai Ze didn't look up.

Ying Chengxun forced Cai Ze's chin to lift the old man's head up, forcing Cai Ze to face himself and Emperor Shihuang squarely.

The expression on the old man's face was very exciting, and he couldn't stop staring at Ying Chengyu, the first emperor and the two of them, with disbelief and unreasonable occupying half of his face respectively.

What happened was too sudden and incomprehensible. The old man, who knew how to protect himself in troubled times, even forgot the prudence engraved in his bones, and looked at Shi Huang's arrogance without hesitation.

Since the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the abdication system has become a hereditary system, and there are countless brothers fighting against each other in the position of king.

The old man has seen too much in history books, and in reality, he has witnessed the fight between Mi Bazi and Qin Zhaoxiang's mother and son, and the last generation of powerful Queen Mother Xuan died of hunger strike in the cold palace.

How could His Majesty be so close to Mr. Chang'an?Hearing that Mr. Chang'an is going to rebel, why does His Majesty have such an expression?

"Now, Mr. Gang Cheng can trust Cheng Xun's words? Does Mr. Gang Cheng want to do things for my brothers, or for the nobles?" Ying Chengxun asked the previous question again.

"It's for you, it has nothing to do with me." Emperor Shihuang dismantled Ying Chengyu in front of Cai Ze, and said displeasedly: "I haven't agreed to your request."

And this sentence automatically turned into eight words in Cai Ze's ears - you let it go, I support you.

A man named Shang Yang did this kind of enmity against all the nobles of Qin State a hundred years ago.

Without Qin Xiaogong's support, Shang Yang's one hundred lives are not enough to die.

In the same way, in Cai Ze's eyes, without the support of Emperor Shihuang, Ying Chengxun would have died long ago.

Now this sentence of disagreeing with you is nothing more than a fig leaf.

Monarchs are all majestic, bright, righteous and awe-inspiring. This kind of exploitation of the nobles of the family must be done spontaneously by a reformer and has nothing to do with the monarch.

In this way, if it succeeds, the monarch will benefit smoothly, and if it fails, the reformer will be cut off to appease the anger of the nobles. Isn't that how Shang Yang died.

"Your Majesty, if Lord Chang'an's important officials are not good to His Majesty, how should I deal with them?"

The old man had to ask clearly, he didn't want to go to Huangquan with Ying Chengxue to taste the saltiness of Mengpo soup in a muddleheaded way, and reformers would hardly end well.

"Listen to him."

The first emperor once sent Cai Ze to the country of Yan, and he knew Cai Ze's temperament.

Immediately prescribe the right medicine, and don't say that this Zhuzi won't explain his words unfavorably to me, and speak directly and bluntly.

"only."

The old man responded respectfully.

The biggest in the world is the first emperor.

Although the old man didn't agree with Shi Huangdi so much, he felt that Shi Huangdi was more trustworthy than those aristocrats who assembled to persecute him.

"Brother Huang, you can go." Ying Chengxu said with satisfaction.

Nothing could dispel Cai Ze's doubts more than Shi Huangdi coming here in person.

The first emperor wants to get angry, I am so busy with government affairs all day long, is it possible for you to come and go as soon as you call?
Seeing Cai Ze beside him, he restrained himself and said with a bad expression: "I heard that Bao Bailingzhi drowned."

"Yeah, the old man is too careless."

"This is the last time." Emperor Shi Huang stretched out a finger and warned: "If your so-called reform is to use this method of killing people, then don't blame me for meddling."

When I wanted to kill Chunyu Yue and bury the Confucianists in order to wake up and help Su, I had to find legitimate excuses, how dare you, Li Zi, do such a thing!
"only."

Ying Chengxi nodded.

Killing Bao Bailingzhi was a powerful drug he used to stimulate the aristocrats of the family. Strictly speaking, this kind of private killing has violated the rules of Qin.

"Great Qin ruled the country by law. Bao Bailing died for his crimes, but he can be killed in a public trial. Don't let me hear such absurd remarks as drowning in Xianyang Prison, and don't kill people in the middle of the night like ten years ago, otherwise I won't be able to sit idly by .”

"Brother Huang, don't worry, I know how to measure. It's enough to kill Bao Bailingzhi and put the Qin sword on their necks. I won't swing it down. If they are all killed, the Qin country will be governed."

"Exactly that."

The First Emperor glanced at Cai Ze, who calmed down and regained his prudence, and stood respectfully, who did not dare to look directly at him.

In front of Cai Ze, he said to his younger brother: "Cai Ze is a man of great talent but no great ambitions. His arguments are not as good as Yao Jia's, but he is weak. I once promised him to lobby the world with high officials, rich salary and rare treasures. It doesn’t dare. Whether to use it or not, how to use it, you can judge by yourself.”

Brother Huang really knows Cai Zezhi's talent.

Ying Chengxun smiled and glanced at Cai Ze who was not at all embarrassed.

"I had a very happy conversation with Mr. Gang Cheng. We hit it off right away, just like Boya Ziqi."

The First Emperor made his words clear, and without stopping, hurriedly took Gai Nie away.

After the first emperor left, Cai Ze looked ashamed and could not speak, as if he felt regret for abandoning Ying Chengxi in front of the first emperor just now.

"Mr. is still performing with Cheng Yu? You and I are similar people, life is more important than the sky, and you act to save your life, how can you be embarrassed?"

The old man returned to normal and agreed: "This statement is wonderful."

"Then, let's talk about it?" Ying Chengxun said with a smile: "After the matter is completed, the Chang'an Monarch's Mansion will be in one day, and as long as the Cai family does not break the law and discipline, you will be rich and honorable."

There is only wealth, no glory... It seems that this son really wants to break the boundaries between nobles and commoners.

"Thank you Lord Chang'an, Ze will do his best."

Ying Chengxun was not polite, and immediately said: "I have something to worry about. I have grain to distribute to the world, and I want to collect it in Guanzhong. However, the grain of Qi land will lose nine out of ten when it enters the pass, and the grain of Chu land will go to Qin Dynasty for five times." [-]. Dare to ask, sir, is there a decree that I collect all the food here."

"One person is weak, but everyone is strong. Ruo Ze can lead the families like Gan Luo, so he can gather the power of the families to help Lord Chang'an."

"Hahahahaha!" Ying Chengxue laughed loudly, patted the old man on the shoulder and said, "Mr. is forced to be helpless, but you can also develop great ambitions!"

The old man sighed helplessly, and said: "Ze does not seek some benefits for himself. He has no desires or demands. Can Lord Chang'an be at ease? Since Ze must enter the game, why is Ze not as good as Marquis of Wucheng, and fight more."

The old man's background is not considered humble, but it has nothing to do with being prominent.

Pulling the little tail of the nobles and breaking away from the civilian class, no matter where you go, relying on this status, you can't starve to death, but it's just that you can't starve to death.

The old man wanted to get rid of the status quo. He visited famous teachers to study in his early years. This name is not the "name" of "famous", but the "name" of "famous masters". He became a daimyo in ten years.

After leaving the army, he traveled around the world and sought official positions from many princes, big and small.

It's a pity that it has not been reused by any country, and no country will stay for long.

But these are just rumors spread by the monarchs of various countries for their own face.

The actual situation is that the old man has become the guest of the monarchs of various countries with just one mouth, and most monarchs value the old man very much.

But the old people smelled danger from it and dared not wait any longer.

The old man wants fame and wealth, but all the prerequisites are life.

When he arrived in Qin State, the old man actually wanted to leave after resigning from the position of Xiangbang.

However, King Zhaoxiang of Qin ordered that he could not leave Qin if he resigned, otherwise he would be executed immediately.

The old man was helpless, so he settled down in Qin State. His family, the Cai family, became one of the aristocratic families in Qin State for more than [-] years, which can be regarded as fulfilling the old man's wish.

Originally, the old man wanted to die like this, but he didn't expect to bump into Ying Chengxuan's hands in his later years.

Since you can't resist, let's work harder to bring the Cai family to another level.

The old man thought so.

"Okay, I'll help you become the head of the family. If you turn back on your promises and ignore Cheng Xun, don't blame Cheng Xun for killing you." Ying Chengxun chuckled and said, "I won't allow me to kill people, otherwise I won't be allowed to change the law. But if Cheng Yu didn't care too much about the matter without success, let's vent his personal anger first, and let's talk about it, Mr. Hope is not the last person Cheng Yu killed."

"Ze is good at protecting himself in troubled times." The old man said proudly.

……

a few days later.

Zhangtai Palace.

The refreshing sandalwood aroma could not wake up too much the first emperor who had finished reviewing the memorials at three o'clock in the morning and went to find the new concubine to make a baby.

The energy leaked out, and I woke up early again, even an iron man couldn't hold it back.

Emperor Shi Huang, who had only slept for three hours, pulled himself together and unfolded a scroll of memorials.

[I saw a strange thing today, it is said that Zhang Liang made it, it is called paper, and it is used to carry characters far more than bamboo slips...]

Just after reading the first few words, Shi Huangdi's dizzy mind immediately cleared up.

The first emperor, whose eyes were burning with anger, threw the memorial sent back from Yan to the ground before he could read it.

"Shuzi dare!"

The first emperor was very angry, unprecedentedly angry.

"I don't want him to implement it, my father doesn't want him to implement it, my elder father doesn't want him to implement it, and my grandfather doesn't want him to implement it. Why doesn't he listen! This Zhuzi really thinks that he is the only smart person in the world, and he is sober when everyone is drunk!"

You don't need to read all of them, the first emperor knew that it was his dear brother Ying Chengxu who made the decision.

20 years ago, Ying Chengxi presented it to King Qin Zhaoxiang as if offering a treasure, but was shelved by King Qin Zhaoxiang.

It was Ying Chengxun who invented paper and made paper, so there is no such thing as Zhang Liang.

"The lesson from the past is the lesson from the past. If you don't follow the law of Shang Jun, the Qin State will soon perish. How long will it take to understand this!"

The strength of Qin State began with Shang Yang.

The purpose of Shang Yang's reform is to make the country strong if the people are weak, and a country with the right way should focus on foolish people, weak people, and weak people.

Shang Yang rewards farming and weaving. Farmers only need to be able to farm and weave, and they don't need to know anything else.

Shang Yang collected high taxes, and the peasants were exhausted from working hard every day from morning to night. After paying the taxes, the food was enough to fill their stomachs.

Shang Yang believes that the value of farmers lies in their ignorance. Once they are given knowledge, they will not be able to farm well and will have other ideas.

A tired farmer doesn't have too many thoughts, and he doesn't run wild.

Most of the value created by the peasants was given to the state. If the Qin State is strong and the peasants are poor and weak, the peasants have no capital to rebel.

From Qin Xiaogong to Qin Shihuang, Qin State always carried out Shang Yang's belief.

The first emperor's recent order to burn books is an advanced version of the legalist policy of obscuring the people.

The state of Qin is in the Guanzhong version, and the policy of ignoring the people is 1.0 - let the farmers know nothing, just learn how to farm.

The Qin State opened a new map to collect the six countries, and the version was changed to the world. The first emperor updated the strategy and launched the policy of obscuring the people 2.0 - let the people in the world only learn simplified characters and Qin Wen, and unify their thinking first.You can only study books on farming and medical treatment, and books from hundreds of schools of thought are not allowed to read, and the books that ordinary people read are strictly restricted by the first emperor.

The order to burn the book was issued by Emperor Shihuang to the world last year from the Hall of Xuanniao.

And within Hangu Pass, the headquarters of the Qin State, Shang Yang had already done this kind of thing.

It seems that the first emperor let the world learn characters, which is much better than Shang Yang who banned reading and literacy.

In essence, what the two do is the same, and they are both thorough Legalist thinking.

The first emperor didn't want the world to be able to read and write. He was forced to implement the policy of writing the same language for the sake of unification.

If it hadn't been for the newly acquired territory of the Six Kingdoms, the First Emperor would have wished that all the people in the world would be ignorant so that he could govern easily.

Ying Chengxuan had mentioned to him about enlightening people's wisdom before, but was rejected by the first emperor.

But out of trust in Ying Chengxu, the First Emperor, who ruled the country with legalism, was willing to use the seven counties in the northwest as a pilot to let Ying Chengxu toss it. This is already a great concession.

If it were someone else who dared to pry the cornerstone of Qin's strength and shake the legalist idea of ​​​​ruling the country, it would be unfavorable for King Qin's sword to be strong.

The first emperor did not expect that Ying Chengxun would not be satisfied with the seven counties in the northwest.

Without warning, the paper was distributed to the world through Zhang Liang's hand.

The news could be written as a memorial and passed on to the first emperor. Not to mention the flood of papers in Yandi, at least it has been made public in the local area for a long time.

The first emperor was panting heavily on the spot, and for a moment he didn't know that it was the third time he was going to Xianyang Prison to question Ying Chengxue.

Or directly issue an imperial decree to ban the paper that Ying Chengxun invented a long time ago.
