Chapter Seventy-Seven: What Kind of Lord Is This?
This Meng Yi took the wrong medicine, right?
How dare you question His Majesty's parables?
Li Si, who had been there all the time, was a little stunned.
He looked at Meng Yi suspiciously, and then secretly glanced at His Majesty above.
This aim was not tight, but Li Si suddenly saw that His Majesty's gaze also followed.
Immediately lowered his head, muttering in his heart that something was wrong.
Sure enough, His Majesty's thunderous voice immediately sounded in my ears.
"Lis."
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and called out loudly.
"The minister is here."
Li Si immediately stood up and bowed.
"You said Handan City should not be slaughtered?"
Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with coldness, and he looked at Li Si and asked.
Li Si almost knelt down directly, who did he recruit and provoke whom?
Groove ......
To say slaughter?
Wouldn't the people of the world want to scold me Li Si to death?
If you want to say that it is not to be slaughtered?
Looking at Your Majesty's posture today, will you still have your own good fruit to eat in the future?
Countless thoughts flashed in his heart in an instant, and after analyzing the pros and cons, Li Si finally made up his mind to speak: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it should be ......."
Before Li Si finished speaking, he saw His Majesty's eyes like a sharp blade, shooting directly towards him.
trembled slightly in his heart, and he immediately swallowed back the words and changed his words: "When ...... It is not important if it is not slaughtered, what is important is the negative impact of slaughtering Handan City. ”
"The world has just been unified for more than three years, Your Majesty slaughtered Handan today, the people of the world will tremble, if you mistakenly think that Your Majesty is going to carry out a bloodbath and massacre policy against the six countries, it will inevitably be turbulent and the people's hearts will fluctuate, which is not conducive to the foundation of the empire for thousands of years."
"Your Majesty."
Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough and almost missed a big event.
"What the prime minister said is extremely true, Your Majesty must not kill indiscriminately and kill innocents!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
The ministers of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty also stood up at this time, and they all asked Yingzheng to play.
"Not slaughtering is not enough to calm the anger, and not killing is not enough to stop rumors."
Ying Zheng looked at the civil and military officials who were pleading, with a straight face, and said aggressively.
"Your Majesty, if you kill all the people of Handan, you can exchange for the long-term peace and stability of the empire, and the ministers will raise their hands in agreement."
"But if it's the other way around, the minister, I don't dare to agree."
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger."
Meng Yi admonished again.
"Your Majesty is angry."
Everyone shouted in unison again.
"Uncle Sun Tong, you are now a doctor's servant, you come to tell me."
"I am the lord of the world, and I can't even protect my biological mother's reputation when she is slandered, and I can't even protect the peace of my sweetheart, what kind of lord of the world is this?"
Ying Zheng slapped the wooden table in front of him, making a rumbling sound.
Everyone was taken aback, and there was some muttering in their hearts.
Oh my God!
Why did this hot potato run into his own hands?
I worked so hard that I finally changed from a doctor to a hand-picked doctor, and then squeezed into the position of a doctor's servant.
So soon, are the good days coming to an end?
Uncle Sun Tong stood up with gains and losses, his face did not change in the slightest, and he bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty is the co-lord of Kyushu, and the four seas are respected. ”
"The impact of this incident is unprecedented."
"If it is not severely punished, the majesty of the Son of Heaven will be gone."
"If the city is slaughtered, it will be against the harmony of heaven and will damage the name of Your Majesty's benevolence, and it will not be advisable."
After speaking, Shusun Tong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he was witty.
Ying Zheng glanced at his uncle and grandson, and let you finish the good and bad things alone.
At first glance, it seems to make a lot of sense, but if you taste it carefully, doesn't that mean you haven't said anything?
"Is that a severe punishment for the slaughter of the city? Or is it a wide range of benevolence, wronged and satisfied? ”
Ying Zheng didn't intend to let him fool around like this, and asked in a deep voice.
This......
Shusun Tong immediately encountered the same problem as Li Si, and agreed that the slaughter of the city would be scolded by the world.
If you deny the slaughter of the city, you will inevitably offend Your Majesty, and I am afraid that my efforts over the years will be in vain.
Just when Shusun Tong was wandering left and right, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a compromise method, which not only does not damage the name of His Majesty's benevolence, but also shows the majesty of the Son of Heaven." ”
"Oh?"
"Tell me about it."
Ying Zheng suddenly became interested, looked at his uncle and grandson, and said in surprise.
"Your Majesty, why don't you punish the big commandment, only punish the evil head, all the Zhao royal family and clan will be executed, and half of the property of the nobles of Handan will be confiscated to the treasury to offset their crimes. The taxes of the people of Handan were doubled to eliminate their faults. ”
"In this way, people in the world will only scold the Zhao royal family for treachery, madness, and death."
"The nobles of Handan are grateful to Your Majesty and praise the Lord's benevolence and virtue."
"The people of Handan will also remember His Majesty's grace not to kill, and praise the Lord of the Holy Wisdom."
The uncle and grandson spoke at the table, which immediately aroused everyone's admiration.
It's a very good way to do it, and it's a great idea.
If it weren't for the occasion, Ying Zheng would have wanted to praise his uncle and grandson fiercely, and he simply said to his heart.
I went to great lengths myself, for what?
Of course, it is to avenge Ah Fang, but it is not all.
The war in the south is in full swing, the war in the north is about to break out, and various places are suffering from frequent disasters, and the year is only halfway through, and the treasury has almost been emptied.
What to do if you want to maintain the empire's huge expenses?
Paper, refined salt, of course, make money, but compared with the huge expenses of the empire, it is a drop in the bucket.
In this world, most of the money and resources in the world are monopolized by the nobles of all places.
And what could come faster than snatching money out of their pockets?
No, the penalty is!
This time the eastern tour is very different from the past.
The nobles of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong can rebel, what do they rely on?
It's not just about playing tricks and talking about righteousness, but more importantly, because they are rich and flowing, and they are able to gather hungry and displaced people, feed them, and arm them.
First find a way to cut off the wings of their wealth, and then slowly try to trample all these ill-intentioned dog things into the abyss, so that they will never have a place to turn over.
I want to see what kind of storm they can rise when they lose their huge wealth and their status and power?
Passing by the old land of Sanchuan Korea, the reason why there is no action is because the old land of South Korea is under the nose of Xianyang's internal history, and it can't make waves at all.
Moreover, most of the old Korean nobles have moved to Xianyang City, so there is no need to worry at all.
Zhao land, starting from Handan, was the capital of Zhao State, almost gathered Zhao State's wealthy businessmen and nobles.
Zhang Liang is dead, Liu Ji and others are all contributing to Daqin, and the Xiang clan is still a bit of a threat.
Is it killing?
Or is it accepted?
With the character of the overlord of Western Chu in his future memory, he would rather die than live.
However, thinking that Xianyang was burned and the Qin clan was slaughtered, Yingzheng's eyes showed a hint of coldness.
Since you can't use it for yourself, then let's die!
Only the dead are the most reassuring.
If you are alive all the time, of course, you are not afraid of the world.
But there are still eight years to go, life and death are unpredictable, and Yingzheng obviously does not want to leave a scourge and endanger the safety of the empire.
If you can't live forever, then in your lifetime, you will eradicate all those unstable factors, and leave a peaceful and prosperous era for your successor.
