Chapter 23: Three Orders

"Sir, you don't have to worry, whether it is the so-called aristocratic family or the royal family, if anyone dares to obstruct Mr. from acting, I will not spare him!"

Before Ying Zheng could finish speaking, Ying Zheng said directly.

After a pause, he continued, "Sir, do you have any other concerns?" ”

"Your Majesty, if necessary, can the minister kill someone?"

After Zhao Heng groaned slightly, he raised his eyes to look at Ying Zheng and asked.

It's not that he wants to kill someone, but sometimes, he has to kill someone.

For example, when he attacked those cottages in the past, he killed at least two or three thousand bandits, and when he implemented various new systems, those who violently resisted, he also had to kill chickens and monkeys.

It is conceivable that although he is now the prime minister of Great Qin and has the absolute support of the First Emperor Yingzheng, as long as he dares to implement various new systems in the whole of Great Qin, it will inevitably attract unprecedented resistance.

Especially those aristocratic families, and even royal clans, even if they keep sending disciples to assassinate him, it is not impossible.

Because of this, he not only needs enough strength to protect himself, but also needs enough strength to suppress these diehards.

"Yes!"

After a short silence, Ying Zheng said directly: "Officials with titles below the rank of the eldest minister, Mr. can dispose of them by himself first, and then report to me afterwards." ”

"Minister, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Zhao Heng hurriedly got up and bowed solemnly.

He naturally understood what a privilege Yingzheng's words gave him.

To put it simply, in one sentence, the imperial power concession, first cut and then play!

You must know that although the eldest chief is only an eighteenth-level knighthood, one level lower than Zhao Heng's Guannei Marquis, but looking at the entire Great Qin, there are only a handful of Chehou at the twentieth level, and the Guannei Marquis at the nineteenth level can also be counted with two hands.

It can be said that the chief is already a top official in Great Qin.

And Yingzheng promised Zhao Heng that he had the right to cut down any officials below the head of the Great Chief, and it is conceivable that most of the officials in the Great Qin Dynasty from top to bottom will be killed and taken by him in one thought.

"Sir, I am waiting for the day when Great Qin conquers the whole world!"

Ying Zheng's eyes stared at Zhao Heng and said expectantly.

"Your Majesty, from today onwards, the minister will definitely make every effort to completely solve the internal worries for Daqin in the shortest possible time, I believe that it will only take three years at most, and Your Majesty will be able to see that day!"

Zhao Heng said very seriously.

"Good! Then I'll see. ”

Ying Zheng smiled and nodded: "When that day comes, I will drink with Mr. again to celebrate!" ”

Next, under the witness of Ying Zheng, Zhao Heng completed a complete set of ceremonial processes for opening the mansion.

The opening ceremony is mainly to sacrifice to heaven and earth first, and then Zhao Heng makes a speech on his appointment.

After the end, it was natural that Zhao Heng invited a group of officials to a banquet and get acquainted with his future colleagues.

He took more than 100 bottles of Moutai directly from the warehouse and let everyone drink to their heart's content.

There is good wine, and naturally there is also food, hot pot, skewers, these are not missing.

Not to mention anything else, at least all the ministers present were all conquered by Zhao Heng.

……

The next day.

Outside the council hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, two rows of guards stood straight.

These guards were all brought by Zhao Heng from the Walled City, and there were a total of one hundred people.

Yu Shuang and Xi each lead a 50-member guard team.

Soon, a group of about dozens of officials, under the watchful eyes of two rows of guards, walked into the council hall one after another.

These officials were all Ying Zheng's subordinates who were directly transferred from other departments and temporarily used by Zhao Heng.

"Meet Zhao Xiang!"

After all the officials entered the meeting hall, they all saluted Zhao Heng, who was sitting directly above.

"Excuse me, sit!"

Zhao Heng nodded slightly with a faint smile on his face and spoke.

As his words fell, the officials knelt on their mats.

Although Zhao Heng could directly take out some sofa stools from the warehouse for them to sit on, he didn't do so.

For that reason, these officials are not wearing pants, and if they are allowed to sit on the sofa stool facing each other, the picture is too spicy.

"The prime minister has officially opened the mansion, and now the first prime minister's order is issued, abolishing the punishments such as even sitting, razing the three clans, and destroying the sect!"

Zhao Heng's gaze swept over the officials, and he said with a solemn expression: "From this moment on, all counties and counties in Great Qin are not allowed to carry out these punishments on any charges, and all prisoners who are in custody and are jointly seated will be immediately acquitted, and there must be no mistakes." ”

As his words fell, all the officials were stunned.

The prime minister is actually going to change the law!

"The second decree is to implement universal education in Xianyang first, and all boys and girls over the age of five must be enrolled in school."

Zhao Heng ignored the officials who had been completely shocked and continued.

In the Qin Dynasty, underage men and women were referred to as little men and little women, and if a young man under the age of 17 and a little woman under the age of 15 were more than 6 feet 5 inches and 6 feet tall, respectively, they were also counted as adults and were called big men and big women.

"The third order, from now on, build the first primary and secondary school in Xianyang!"

It wasn't until Zhao Heng finished promulgating the third decree that the officials finally came to their senses.

At this moment, their brains were buzzing as if they had been bombed.

The first decree of the prime minister was to change the law and abolish the punishments formulated by the Shang monarch, such as joint sitting, razing the three clans, and destroying the sect.

This also means that from now on, if Daqin commits a crime, he will only punish one person, and will not implicate others again.

Even for them, this is a great joy.

At the very least, they will not be punished for no reason in the future.

And the second and third orders give them the feeling that the prime minister is crazy!

Many people's hearts at this moment can't help but panic, and cold sweat keeps breaking out on their backs.

The prime minister is going to risk the world's disapproval!

As officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion, they naturally couldn't get out of the matter, and they could even think about what kind of risks they would face.

"You don't need to worry, all the consequences will be borne by the prime minister."

Seeing that all the officials were so frightened that their faces turned pale, Zhao Heng opened his mouth and said: "In the future, if anyone dares to disobey these three orders, you only need to report to the original minister." ”

He naturally knew very well that in the face of the attacks of those aristocratic families and even royal clans, it was impossible for these officials to resist it.

He knew even more that his implementation of universal education would inevitably set off turbulent waves in Xianyang and even the entire Great Qin, and would bring endless troubles to himself, and even a life-and-death crisis.

However, he still has to do this, because if he wants to better implement the new system, universal education must be done first.

Of course, not to mention that he was protected by a hundred guards on the surface, the Xuanyi guards hidden in the shadows alone were enough to ensure that ordinary assassins could not get close to him at all.

And, he will build a life-saving artifact for himself next.
