Chapter 148: Honor and disgrace do not depend on the people of the world, but on me
"What Your Majesty says is the truth."
Zhao Zhong said with a smile that froze.
"Spread my will, Li Si will be removed from all official positions and titles, and demoted to the city guard."
Ying Zheng pondered for a while, and then spoke.
Zhao Zhong was shocked in his heart, looked at His Majesty and said, "Your Majesty, Li Si is almost seventy years old, just remove the official title as a punishment." The halberd guards are sprinkled with wind and rain, and they are hard and hard, I am afraid that their bodies will not be able to bear it!"
"What he said is reasonable, why don't you go and guard the customs for him?"
Ying Zheng's expression was flat and asked rhetorically.
This......
Zhao Zhong immediately stopped talking, a chill rose in his heart, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, after all, Li Si has made meritorious contributions to the country and has assisted Your Majesty for more than 20 years. It's almost the year of the sixtieth year, will this make people all over the world chill? Afraid of being criticized by the people of the world, Your Majesty, mean and unkind? ”
"Are you using the mouths of the people of the world to speak your mind?"
"You also think that I am mean to Cohen and did not treat the ministers well, right?"
Ying Zheng stared at Zhao Zhong and said in a cold voice.
"Minister, don't dare to criticize Your Majesty."
Zhao Zhong hurriedly bowed his hand and denied it.
"The minister of the Great Qin is not Li Si alone, the national captain is the captain, and the left prime minister is strong, all of them have achieved fame, returned to their hometown, and lived for the rest of their lives."
"Those who are still in the court, Wang Jian of the Protector of the Kingdom, Meng Tian of the Dingguo Gong, Feng Quji, the Imperial Historian, Wang Xuan, the Prime Minister, etc., which of them has not served the monarch for decades?"
"How have I done them badly? Have you ever wondered why Li Si is the only one who has been demoted one after another? Is it because his credit is too great? I'm afraid of him? Or is it because of his outstanding talent that he is hated by me? ”
Ying Zheng naturally didn't believe Zhao Zhong's words, but said loudly.
When Zhao Zhong heard this, his heart moved, it seems that His Majesty did this for a reason?
What exactly did this Lees do?
Why is Your Majesty so angry?
"Minister, I am ashamed, please punish Your Majesty."
Zhao Zhong immediately knelt down, feeling guilty.
"Who is meritorious and who is guilty, I know very well in my heart."
"The merits of the Great Qin Empire will be rewarded, and those who pass will be punished."
"Li Si is meritorious, I have given Li Si great grace, and bestowed on him the supreme glory of being above ten thousand people under one person."
"Li Si has been, I can also step him from the top of the clouds to the abyss, let him bear the cold ridicule of the world, and understand who gave him everything."
"Over the past few years, I have given him opportunities again and again, waiting for him to confess his mistakes and untie his knot."
"But what? Our Prime Minister Li Cheng thinks that his merit is higher than the sky, as if this Great Qin Empire cannot continue without him Li Si. ”
"The edict I gave him was already a reminder to him. But he didn't know where to go. ”
"He thought that by suppressing political opponents, he would be able to regain the emperor's favor, which was too whimsical."
"As an official, honesty is important, but in my opinion, ability and character are more important. Wang Xuan's talent may not be as good as Li Si's, but his loyalty to the empire is better than Li Si's. ”
"He is as smart as Lis, and he can't analyze all the trivial things in the world."
"I beat him one or two, and he even relied on his own merits, relying on the old and selling the old."
"Calling himself sick and refusing to go to court, complaining to himself, looking like I was unfair to him, is it for me to see? Or do it for the world to see? ”
"I removed him from his position and demoted him to a central order, so that he understood that honor and disgrace do not depend on the people of the world, but on me."
After the dethronement, Li Si completely went with the flow and practiced himself. He did nothing in the DPRK and China, and the central government was in a mess, and he was a silent confrontation with me, and he was dissatisfied and provocative against me. ”
"I am very disappointed, he is no longer the ambitious, ambitious, and hopeful Li Si who was full of enthusiasm and hope to do something earth-shattering."
"Decades of wind and rain, and the power of the government and the opposition have corroded his wise heart."
"It was a capital crime for him to secretly see the secret envoy of the Yue Clan, but I just demoted him to a central order, which is already an extrajudicial favor."
"For the past few years, I've been hoping that he would wake up, but I'm wrong."
"A prime minister who leans towards the government and the opposition, if you want to make him wake up, the painless beating can no longer be effective against him."
"Today, I understand that only by letting him lose everything and fall from the clouds into the abyss, maybe he can truly understand what the emperor's grace is, and can he recall who made him from a cloth cloth to a powerful prime minister."
"If I want to kill him, 10,000 Lis won't be enough to die."
"This is the last chance I gave him, if he is still stubborn, thinking that the Great Qin Empire can't do without him Li Si, then let him fend for himself!"
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Zhong who was kneeling in front of him, his expression was complicated, and he said a lot of words.
Maybe it's been suppressed for too long, and no one has anything to say, and Yingzheng rarely confides in his heart once.
After saying that, he felt relieved and relaxed.
How can people be ruthless?
He was a king on high and a mortal man of flesh and blood.
Seven emotions and six desires, the heavens are normal, and he will have what the world has.
Li Si has followed him for more than 20 years, and he is also a minister and a friend.
At first, he didn't want to believe that Li Si would betray the Great Qin Empire and betray himself.
But Zhao Gao Huhai wants to succeed, if there is no help from Li Si, there is absolutely no possibility.
When he was critically ill, he made an edict, and the son Fusu returned to Xianyang for funeral, and the eldest son Fusu was the successor of the Great Qin Empire.
After all, he betrayed himself and betrayed the Great Qin Empire for the sake of his power.
Ying Zheng's heart knot has never been untied, so Li Si owes himself an explanation.
Although it hasn't happened yet, if Li Si can't untie the knot in his heart, then he should have this reward.
"Your Majesty is incomparable in benevolence and righteousness, the lord of sages, the grace of heaven is mighty, affectionate and righteous."
"Li Si doesn't know what to do, he doesn't care about the sacred heart, he cares about the grace of heaven in vain, he is arrogant and arrogant, it's really hateful, Your Majesty doesn't kill him, it's already benevolent and righteous."
Looking at His Majesty's lonely look, Zhao Zhong suddenly woke up, gritted his teeth at Li Si in his heart, and said sincerely.
Since Your Majesty has said it so conclusively, it must be something that Li Si has done to be sorry for Your Majesty and sorry for the Empire, otherwise Your Majesty would never have done this.
It seems that I thought too much and misunderstood Your Majesty.
His Majesty repeatedly deposed Li Si, that is, he beat Li Si, hoping that he could take the initiative to admit his mistakes to himself and untie the knot, so that there would naturally be no gap between the monarch and the minister.
But Li Si is arrogant and unreasonable, arrogant and arrogant, boasting that his merits are higher than the sky, and he deserves this fate.
I still sympathize with him, this kind of emotional intelligence is really flattering.
Zhao Zhong couldn't help but suddenly have a thought in his heart, this Li Si is probably getting more and more confused, is he old and confused?
Your Majesty, what a hero, this guy even dares to make small moves behind his back?
Seeing the secret envoy of the Yue clan, he has committed the taboo of the courtiers, it is really a violation of the evil of heaven, and he can't live if he does his own evil!
