Chapter 14: The talents of the pillars should be built into immortal feats
Li Si knew that today was his chance to change his fate.
The only chance.
If you don't catch it, you can only spend the rest of your life hastily.
"Grass People...... Li Si, meet Your Majesty!"
The shackles clattered, and Li Si knelt 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 has praised it!"
"I don't know who Mr. Li studied and what his plans are to come to Qin?"
"Your Majesty, the grass people studied under Xunzi. Qin's politics are clear, inclusive, and recruit talents from all over the world. ”
"Oh, it turns out that Mr. Li is a master of Xunzi. ”
Ying Zheng single-handedly entered the road:
I wonder what Mr. Li thinks about the two ways of governing the country in "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" and "Shang Junshu"?
Now Qin, should we use the "Book of Shang Jun" or the "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" as the holy book of governing the country?"
Li Si thought for a moment and said:
"Your Majesty, "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" gathers the heads of a hundred schools of thought, advocating the king's way and the king of the world;
The Book of Shang Jun advocates the rule of law, strict laws, and hegemony over the world.
As for which of the two propositions Qin should govern now, it is still in His Majesty's mind. ”
"Please sir!"
Li Sidao:
"If Your Majesty only wants to be like the five princes of Qi Huan, Song Xiang, Jin Wen, Qin Mu, and Chu Zhuang, become the overlord of the vassal states in the eastern corner of the Divine Wilderness.
When using "Lu's Spring and Autumn", the king of the world.
If Your Majesty wants to sweep away the Eight Desolations and Liuhe, sweep away all the vassal states in the eastern corner, dominate the world, and establish an empire that has never been more powerful than ever.
When using the "Book of Shang Jun", practice the law and dominate the world. ”
He knew that the young King Qin had already made a choice.
When Ying Zheng heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Come on, 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 the famous Chinese minister Li Si.
Ying Zheng was quite happy.
Although, Ying Zheng knew that Huaxia Li Si was greedy for glory and wealth, and did a series of evil things, such as suggesting that the first emperor burn books and pit Confucianism, jealously killing Han Feizi, and conspiring with Zhao Gao to launch the Dune Rebellion.
But it is undeniable that Li Si is indeed a great talent and has made great contributions to the unification of the world by Qin Shi Huang.
The book is the same text, the car is on the same track, the unified weights and measures, etc., are all great achievements.
Ying Zheng has its own philosophy.
Although it is good to have both ability and political integrity, there are very few such people, and they are rare and hard to find.
To govern the country, a large number of talents are needed, and it is impossible to have talent without virtue.
Employing people should use their strengths and avoid their shortcomings.
Since Li Si has great talent and lacks personal morality, he will use it and prevent it.
As soon as King Qin gave an order, a soldier immediately came in and helped Li Si open the shackles.
"Mr. Li, please take a seat!" Ying Zhengdao.
Li Sicheng was terrified: "Your Majesty, this ...... This is absolutely unacceptable!"
Sitting on an equal footing with the Great Qin Monarch, how did this make him feel uneasy.
"Mr. doesn't sit, do you want to resist the king's order?" Ying Zheng's face turned pale.
Li Si saluted again: "That grass people have overpassed, it is better to obey than to be respectful!"
He had just sat down.
"Mr. Li is full of wealth, and the widow wants to appoint you as the county guard of Ba County, I wonder if Mr. is willing to take on this important responsibility?"
Jade is not cut into a tool.
Although Li Si has great talents, Yingzheng is still ready to sharpen it.
Ba County is a new county established after Qin conquered Ba State a few years ago, and it is still very chaotic internally, and it is incompetent for non-virtuous people.
The wind knows the grass, and the road knows the horsepower.
Ying Zheng wants to let Li Si be the county guard of Ba County, on the one hand, to sharpen the other party, and on the other hand, to increase his qualifications and prepare for his transfer to the center of the royal court in the future.
If Li Si can cure Ba County, then he will be ranked Jiuqing in the future, and others will have nothing to gossip about.
"Grass people, no, the minister obeys!" Li Si knelt down again and kowtowed three times.
Although it's just a border county guard, it's also a county guard!
The county guards the silver seal green ribbon, rank 2,000 stones.
Except for the county magistrates who were directly appointed and dismissed by the imperial court, the county governors who were responsible for supervising the county governance, and the county lieutenants who were responsible for commanding the garrison and managing public order, the other officials in the county were appointed and dismissed by the county guards themselves.
can be regarded as a feudal official.
"Okay, the talent of the pillars, you should build an immortal meritorious service!" King Qin said: "Mr. Li, please get up, you go to the post house tonight to have a good rest, and leave for Ba County tomorrow." ”
"No, Your Majesty!" said Lis.
Seeing off Li Si, Ying Zheng also left the Imperial Lieutenant Office and returned to the palace.
......
The next day, it was close to three o'clock in the afternoon.
The execution ground is full of murderous atmosphere.
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, and the black pressed a large area, and the scene was not spectacular.
They are all implicated.
Lü Buwei and Chang Yu, who were disheveled, were bound hand and foot, and their heads and limbs were pulled by five majestic horses, ready to be tortured - the corpses of the five horses were divided.
Not long ago, Ting Wei had already read out the crimes of Lü Buwei and other officials.
A large number of people gathered around the execution ground, and they pointed at Lü Buwei, Chang Yu and other death row prisoners.
"I really didn't expect that Lu Buwei, as the prime minister of the two dynasties, would do such a thing that is angry and resentful, and pigs and dogs are not as good as dogs!"
"Yes, King Xiang of Qin Zhuang was as kind to him as a mountain, and let him be a trusted minister, but he repaid the Great Qin royal family like this!"
"Lu Buwei is innocent of death, and killing him a hundred times will not relieve his hatred!"
"The faces of our old Qin people have been lost to this thief!"
“......”
Lü Buwei listened to the people's verbal criticism of him, and his heart was full of unwillingness.
Seeing that he is about to become the master of Daqin, he will play Yingzheng in the palm of his hand, who would have thought that he would succeed.
Now, he is going to be divided by five horses.
Lü Buwei roared at King Qin:
"Yingzheng Zhuzi, if you dare to kill your middle father, you will definitely suffer from the crazy revenge of Tianlu Sect.
Even if there is a sect in the world that cannot destroy the royal family and usurp the royal power.
But it is only right that you kill the elders of the sect first, and that the Tianlu Sect will kill you and destroy Great Qin. ”
Lü Buwei explained the truth very thoroughly.
There is indeed a contract between the Divine Desolate Land Sect and the secular state.
The sect is not allowed to destroy the royal family and subvert the country, but if there is a grudge, he will say something else.
Moreover, this rule, as the strength of major countries weakens, gradually loses its binding force.
"Kill the thief of Lü Buwei!"
"Shameless to die, you still dare to threaten Your Majesty now!"
When the surrounding people heard this, they angrily threw rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, cow dung and other things at Lu Buwei.
The people hated Lü Buwei to the core.
During his reign, he did many things that violated the "Book of Shang Jun", favored the nobles, and the people were oppressed.
Lu Buwei still wanted to scold, but a ball of cow dung was impartial and flew into his mouth.
"Your Majesty, it's three o'clock in the afternoon!" Lang Zhong ordered Zhou Bin to remind in a low voice.
Rise!
Ying Zheng stood up.
It is like a mountain rising from the ground, and the majesty of the emperor swept through the eight wildernesses.
Everyone suddenly felt something, and they all shut up, looking at the young King Qin with awe.
Ying Zheng said: "Execution!"
"The old man wants to see, who dares to touch my Tianlu Sect Elder!"
At this moment, a deep sound suddenly sounded, which shook people's eardrums.
