Zhangtai Palace.

Leaving the National Development and Reform Agency, Yingzheng took Li Yang directly to Zhangtai Palace.

"Your Majesty, can we begin?" Liu Xi asked with a smile.

Ying Zheng nodded: "Call the painter in!" ”

"No!"

Liu Xi got the order, immediately walked to the side hall, beckoned, and then a painter walked quickly into the main hall with a drawing board and paper.

Ying Zheng motioned for Li Yang to stand in the middle of the hall and said, "Come on, come on, stand still, let the painter draw it well." ”

Li Yang was stunned!

This is...... What are you going to do?

Does Ying Zheng want the painter to paint a portrait of himself?

"Your Majesty, this is ......"

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Qing is my auspicious appearance, a hundred years later, how can I have no Qing, so today I ordered the painter to paint your portrait, and then ordered someone to burn the terracotta figurines according to your appearance, so that you and I will continue to govern these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains underground, wouldn't you be happy?" ”

I rub!

It turns out that Yingzheng is forcing him to burn a terracotta warrior that is exactly the same as this dick!

Li Yang was stunned!

Terracotta warriors, I didn't expect to be a part of it.

Li Yang was excited, wouldn't the future generations be able to know his handsome and extraordinary appearance?

Thinking of this, Li Yang hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, where do you want to place the clay figurines of the ministers in the Qinling Palace?" ”

Ying Zheng said: "Naturally, I am left and right. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is not very honored!" Li Yang waved his hand, and his heart was moved, which showed that Yingzheng really regarded him as the most relied on courtier.

But......

If the terracotta figurines representing themselves are placed in the main burial chamber, they will not be excavated by future generations, because the main burial chamber is filled with mercury, and no one dares to dig it.

Thinking of this, Li Yang couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

I was blind and looked so handsome, but my handsome terracotta figurines were destined to never see the light of day.

Ay!

At this time, the painter had already set up the drawing paper and began to paint according to Li Yang's appearance.

Li Yang was painted for the first time, in order to look handsome, so he put on a poss with his hands in his hands, wearing a long shirt, which looked really heroic.

To be honest, as he has been in contact with Yingzheng for a long time, Li Yang really admires this first emperor more and more.

History has misunderstood him as a person too much.

Although he has a strong domineering spirit, he is not a murderous tyrant who says things like "within a hundred miles, kill them all" at every turn like in later TV dramas.

On the contrary, his mind is actually all about hegemony, and he is bent on building a prosperous and peaceful empire.

In his eyes, the people are not ants or slaves.

Just like the Qinling Project, he canceled the funeral system and replaced the figurines with figurines instead of human martyrdom.

Burial of the living was a very cruel system in slave societies, and the martyrs were buried alive or after being killed or committed suicide. Starting from the Shang Dynasty and continuing until the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the kings of all dynasties had a tradition of martyrdom.

You must know that before the unification of Yingzheng, it has always been a slave society, and Qin Shi Huang was still able to use terracotta figurines to replace human martyrdom, but the kings of the past two thousand years could not do so, from this point, it shows that in terms of "human rights", Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng was two thousand years more advanced than the kings after him.

This is also what Li Yang admires the most, and it also makes Li Yang see the hope that in the Qin reform, the seeds of human rights and democracy can be slowly planted.

Of course, the historical Qin Shi Huang, because he died on the way to the east, did not have time to explain what happened after his death, so the second Qin in history, Hu Hai, because he usurped the throne, in order to show his love for his father, he still issued a cruel and inhumane martyrdom order.

According to historical records, after the death of Qin Shi Huang, the number of people who were buried for him is rare in history. In the 37th year of the first emperor, Qin Shi Huang died, and Qin II issued an edict saying: "If the first emperor has no children in the harem, it is not suitable to go out, and he is ordered to die." The harem concubines and concubines who did not have children were all martyred, so there were many people who died. Moreover, in order to prevent the craftsmen who built the Qin Tomb from leaking the secrets of the Qin Tomb, the craftsmen were also put to death, and it is estimated that there will be tens of thousands of martyrs in the tomb of Qin Shi Huang.

Of course, all this is contrary to the original intention of Qin Shi Huang.

Now, the second Qin Emperor Hu Hai, who was able to kill all his brothers and sisters in history, has been exiled to the people, and Li Yang believes that this kind of tragedy will not happen again.

In fact, the craftsmen who built the Qin Tomb are absolutely safe. Because the Qinling Tomb has been built for nearly ten years, the servants and craftsmen have changed batch after batch, and the people who know the location of the Qinling Tomb have millions of people, so it is difficult to kill them all?

Obviously, this is unrealistic.

Moreover, Ying Zheng was unwilling to kill and bury people at the beginning, so he ordered tens of thousands of tons of mercury to be prepared, in order to pour mercury into the underground palace at the moment of sealing the soil after his death, so that no one dared to dig his grave.

In fact, his approach is extremely correct, after two thousand years, even in the 21st century, the level of science and technology is so developed, it is because the underground palace is filled with a large amount of mercury, and no one dares to touch the underground palace of his main tomb.

Let me ask, can Li Yang not admire such an emperor with a postmodern sense of "human rights"?

Seeing Li Yang's respectful gaze, Ying Zheng thought that he was moved because he was fortunate to be with the underground palace for a long time, and said with a smile: "I am fortunate that I have to meet Qing, as long as Qing lives up to me, this great Qin country, Qing and I will watch it underground for thousands of years." ”

“…………”

Li Yang suddenly had the feeling that Qin Shi Huang was cursing himself to die with him.

smiled, or immediately looked sincere, and said, "The minister will never live up to Your Majesty." ”

"Okay, haha!"

Ying Zheng laughed happily twice, and then said with concern: "By the way, you have made a great contribution to the famine this time, and the government and the opposition are also obvious to all, and I will send Zhang Han and others to calm the rest of the chaos." ”

Li Yang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Why did Your Majesty change people?" ”

"Quelling chaos is not governing the country, how can I let you take risks?"

Ying Zheng was reluctant to let Li Yang go to war, especially with 500 people to fight, such a genius of governing the country that is rare in a thousand years, if he was planted under the knife of the thief, this would be a huge loss.

In Ying Zheng's heart, Li Yang's value is compared to a million iron horses.

Now that the Six Kingdoms have been peaceful, the talent who governs the country is more important than the military talent, and those tens of thousands of thieves, why should Li Yang take the risk?

However, Li Yang disagreed, this was blown out in front of the civil and military officials in the main hall a few days ago, how could he give up, doesn't he want to lose face?

What's more, he also promised Han Xin and gave him this opportunity to prove himself.

At that moment, Li Yang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about the minister, in this battle, the minister will act carefully and will not easily get into danger." ”

Ying Zheng saw that he was unwilling to give up, so he had to say: "Then I will transfer your 100,000 troops from the Mengtian border army!" ”

Li Yang was moved in his heart, but he still shook his head: "Your Majesty, but since the minister in the palace said that five hundred people would quell the chaos that day, then only five hundred people would be used." If His Majesty really gave his ministers 100,000 troops, then even if the chaos was settled, it would be a joke for the Manchu Dynasty. ”

Ying Zheng was speechless.

Glancing at Li Yang, who was full of confidence, he couldn't help frowning and said, "You really have five hundred people who can quell the chaos?" ”

Li Yang smiled: "Your Majesty, have you ever seen a minister bragging!" ”

Ying Zheng: "............"
