Long live the ancestral dragon of all worlds

Chapter 14 Talents of pillars and beams, should be built forever

Li Si knew that today was his chance to change his destiny.

only chance.

If you don't catch it, you will have to spend the rest of your life hastily.

"Grassman... Li Si, meet Your Majesty!"

The shackles clanged, and Li Si bowed down respectfully, his forehead pressed against the carved bluestone floor.

Ying Zheng said, "Get up!"

"You're smart!" he said.

Li Si hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is absurd!"

"I don't know who Mr. Li studied under, and what is his plan when he comes to Qin?" Ying Zheng said.

"Your Majesty, Caomin learned from Xunzi. Qin's politics were clear and inclusive, and he accepted talented people from all directions. Caomin came to Qin to learn from Yizhan."

"Oh, it turns out that Mr. Li's teacher is a disciple of Xunzi."

Ying Zheng went straight to the point:
"I don't know Mr. Li's opinion on the way of governing the country in "Lushi Chunqiu" and "Shang Junshu".

Now Qin, should it use "Shang Junshu" or "Lu Shi Chunqiu" as the holy book for governing the country? "

Li Si thought for a while and said:

"Your Majesty, "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" gathers the elders of various schools of thought, advocates the way of kingship, and rules the world;

"Shang Junshu" advocates the rule of law, the law is strict, and dominates the world.

As for which of the two propositions Qin should adopt to govern the country now, it is still in His Majesty's mind. "

"Please teach me, sir!"

Lisdao:
"If your Majesty only wants to be like Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Xiang of Song, Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Mu of Qin, and King Chuzhuang, and become the overlord of the vassal kingdoms in the eastern corner of Shenhuang.

When using "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals", you will rule the world.

If your majesty wants to sweep across the world, wipe out all the vassal states in the east, rule the world, and establish an unprecedentedly powerful empire.

Use the "Shang Jun Shu" to practice the law and rule the world. "

He knew that the young King Qin had already made a choice.

Ying Zheng heard the sound, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Come here, don't be rude to Mr. Li, open the shackles immediately!"

He has confirmed that the Li Si in front of him is as talented as Li Si, the famous Chinese prime minister.

Ying Zheng was quite happy.

Although, Yingzheng knew that Huaxia Lisi was greedy for glory and wealth, and did a series of evil things, such as suggesting that the first emperor burn books and bury Confucianism, envy and kill Han Feizi, and conspired with Zhao Gao to launch the Sand Dune Change, etc.

But it is undeniable that Li Si is indeed a great talent, and made great contributions to Qin Shihuang's unification of the world.

Books with the same text, cars with the same track, unified weights and measures, etc., are all great achievements.

Yingzheng employs people and has his own philosophy.

Great talents with both ability and political integrity are good, but such outstanding people are rare, very few, and they are hard to come by.

But governing the country requires a lot of talents, and it is impossible to use them without virtue.

Employers should use their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

Since Li Si has great talent but lacks personal morality, he should use it and guard against it.

As soon as King Qin gave an order, soldiers came in to help Li Si unshackle.

"Mr. Li, please take your seat!" Ying Zheng said.

Li Si was terrified: "Your Majesty, this... this is absolutely impossible!"

Sitting on an equal footing with the Great Qin King, how could this make him feel uneasy.

"Sir, if you don't sit down, do you want to disobey the king's order?" Ying Zheng's face was serious.

Li Si saluted again: "The grassroots overstepped, respect is worse than obedience!"

He just sat down.

"Mr. Li is full of knowledge, and I want to appoint you as the governor of Berkshire. I wonder if Mr. Li is willing to take on this important task?" Ying Zheng said.

Jade is not cut, not a device.

Although Li Si has a great talent, Ying Zheng is still ready to sharpen it.

Ba County is a new county established after the Qin State conquered Ba State a few years ago. The interior is still chaotic, and it is impossible for anyone who is not wise to be competent.

The strong wind knows the grass, and the road knows the horsepower.

Yingzheng wanted Li Si to be the governor of Berkshire. On the one hand, it was to sharpen the opponent, and on the other hand, it was also to increase his qualifications and prepare for his future transfer to the center of the royal court.

If Li Si can cure Berkshire, he will be ranked in Jiuqing in the future, and others will have nothing to talk about.

"Cao Min, no, I obey!" Li Si kowtowed again and kowtowed three times.

Although it's just a frontier sheriff, it's also a sheriff!

The prefect has a silver seal with a green ribbon and a rank of two thousand stones.

The prefects of the Qin State had great power. Except for the magistrates and magistrates who were directly appointed and dismissed by the imperial court, the censors who were responsible for supervising the county administration, and the prefects who were responsible for commanding the garrison and managing public security, all other officials in the county were appointed and dismissed by the prefects themselves.

It can be regarded as a big official of the frontier.

"Okay, a pillar of talent, you should make great achievements!" Qin Wang said: "Mr. Li, please get up, you can go to the post house to have a good rest tonight, and leave for Berkshire tomorrow."

"No, Your Majesty!" Li Si left.

After sending Li Si away, Ying Zheng also left the Tingwei Office and returned to the palace.

……

The next day, it was nearly three o'clock in the afternoon.

The execution ground was full of murderous intent.

Ying Zheng sat on the high platform and looked around the execution ground.

On Xingtai, there were thousands of death row prisoners kneeling on the ground, covering a large area in darkness, the scene was quite spectacular.

They are all implicated.

Lu Buwei and Lao Ai, whose hair was disheveled, were bound hands and feet, and five horses pulled their heads and limbs, preparing for the torture - quartering the body by five horses.

Not long ago, Ting Wei had read out the crimes committed by Lu Buwei and the officials.

A large number of people gathered around the execution ground, and they pointed and pointed at Lu Buwei, Lao Ai and other death row prisoners.

"I really didn't expect that Lu Buwei, as the prime minister of the two dynasties, would do such an outrageous thing that is worse than pigs and dogs!"

"That's right, King Zhuangxiang of Qin's kindness to him is as great as a mountain, and he made him an important minister, but this is how he repays the royal family of Qin!"

"Lu Buwei's death deserves more than guilt, killing him a hundred times will not relieve the hatred!"

"The face of our old Qin people has been completely lost by this thief!"

"..."

Lu Buwei was full of unwillingness to listen to the people criticizing him verbally and in writing.

Seeing that he is about to become the master of Daqin, and he will play Yingzheng in the palm of his hand. Who would have thought that he would fail.

Now, it is even more about being quartered by five horses.

Lu Buwei roared at King Qin:

"Yingzheng Shuzi, if you dare to kill Zhongfu, you will definitely suffer crazily revenge from Lu Zong.

Even if there is a covenant in the world that the sects are not allowed to destroy the royal family and usurp the royal power.

But you killed the elders of the sect first, and it is only right and proper for Tianlu Zong to kill you and destroy Daqin. "

Lu Buwei explained the truth very thoroughly.

There is indeed a contract between the sect in the wild land of the gods and the secular country.

Zongmen are not allowed to kill the royal family and subvert the country, but if there is any hatred, they will say otherwise.

Moreover, this rule gradually loses its binding force as the power of the major countries weakens.

"Kill the traitor Lu Buwei!"

"Shameless, dare to threaten His Majesty now!"

When the surrounding people heard the words, they threw rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, cow dung and other things at Lu Buwei angrily.

The common people hated Lu Buwei deeply.

During his reign, he did many things that violated the "Book of Shang Jun", favored the nobles, and the common people were oppressed.

Lu Buwei wanted to yell, but a ball of cow dung just flew into his mouth.

"Your Majesty, it's [-]:[-] noon!" Lang Zhongling reminded Zhou Bin in a low voice.

Teng!
Ying Zheng stood up.

Like a mountain rising from the ground, the majesty of the emperor swept across the world.

Impressed, everyone shut up and looked at the young King Qin in awe.

Ying Zheng said: "Execution!"

"I want to see, who dares to touch me, Elder Lu Zong!"

At this moment, a thick voice suddenly sounded, shaking people's eardrums to buzz.
