Zhangtai Palace is the place where the Great Qin Dynasty will meet, Li Si came all the way with hundreds of civil and military officials, coupled with the towering and steep steps of Zhangtai Palace, making them panting one by one, and they looked as embarrassed as they were.

After a little trimming in Zhangtai Palace, they roughly tidied up their clothes, and then walked into the main hall of Zhangtai Palace in an orderly manner according to the size of their official ranks.

Ying Zheng sat on a high throne, looking down on the ministers one after another, silent, and without any expression on his face.

The new CRRC government Ling Bai Zhuo stood on the side of the high platform, and when he saw the cultural relics in place, he immediately shouted: "One yuan is renewed, Vientiane is renewed, the world is healthy, the country is prosperous, and the hundred officials celebrate the New Year, kneel down ......."

The civil and military officials below immediately knelt down, clasped their hands together and put them on their chests.

On weekdays, the court meeting does not need to bow down, only in the worship of the heavens and ancestors and the annual court meeting, you need to bow down.

"Say goodbye to ......"

CRRC ordered Bai Zhuo to continue shouting.

Tens of thousands of cultural relics and ministers bowed their arrogant heads respectfully in the vast Zhangtai Palace, saluted His Majesty the First Emperor, and shouted: "Your Majesty for ten thousand years, Great Qin for ten thousand years." ”

"Second Worship......"

"Three Worships ......"

"Finished."

After the complicated rituals were executed, the CRRC Mansion ordered Bai Zhuo to stand in place without saying a word.

The ministers of the cultural relics each knelt on their futon, and looked at Yingzheng in the center of Zhangtai Palace, sitting high on the throne.

"Ahem......"

In the silent hall of Zhangtai Palace, Yingzheng let out a few violent coughs.

It's just that soon Yingzheng returned to normal, and he glanced at the ministers with great majesty, and where his gaze touched, the ministers below all bowed their heads to show respect.

"In the days when I am away, I have worked hard for you Aiqing."

Ying Zheng's voice makes people can't hear joy, anger and sorrow, his voice is not loud, but it echoes in the main hall of Zhangtai Palace, lingering in everyone's ears.

Everyone listened patiently, and no one dared to interrupt His Majesty.

"The war in the south is still going on, and all the ministers should work together, abandon political opinions, and give priority to national affairs."

Ying Zheng just said some scenes as usual, encouraged a little, and went through the motions.

Soon, after Ying Zheng finished talking about the words that had been prepared for a long time, he heard Bai Zhuo of the CRRC Mansion shouting again: "Your Majesty has a will, you can play anything and retreat from the court." ”

"Chen Mao Jiao has something to do, Your Majesty."

At this moment, the imperial historian Mao Jiao stood up and bowed to Yingzheng.

Aiqing said bluntly.

Ying Zheng looked at Mao Jiaodao, who was already over the age of old.

"The land of the Central Plains first experienced five hundred years of war in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the people in the world were miserable. His Majesty is eloquent and strategic, sweeping Liuhe, and all the countries of the world are one, and all the sons of the world are one family. ”

"The end of the five hundred years of troubled spring and autumn is the merit of the world and the great cause of the future. His Majesty built the Great Wall to resist the plundering of the frontier people by Hu Di in the north, and the ministers had nothing to say. ”

"Your Majesty's cultivation of straight roads, roads leading to Kyushu, spiritual canals, and wide trade are also the foundation of benefiting the country and the people, and the ministers are speechless."

"Your Majesty built palaces and imperial tombs, ancient and modern emperors have them, and people have common feelings. With His Majesty's literary talent and martial virtue, the minister has no way to refute it. ”

"Your Majesty raised 300,000 armor soldiers to attack the Xiongnu in the north, collected the Hetao region, and shocked Hu Di, and as a subject of the empire, he was also deeply proud and proud."

"But Your Majesty's southern expedition, the strength of the whole country, the southern expedition of 500,000 troops, after more than ten years in Fujian, Ouyue has entered Qin, the minister at first tried his best to oppose it, but His Majesty rejected the minister's humble opinion."

"The empire has been ruling the world for eleven years, but the empire has been fighting for many years, fighting in the south and in the north, and the fortifications are huge. Three out of ten households were in forced labor, and five or six out of ten of the grain were used for front-line warfare and engineering construction. ”

"Your Majesty's desire to include Zhongnan in the territory of Great Qin is indeed a feat of merit. The minister dares to ask His Majesty to take a look at the people of the Great Qin Empire! Look at the Empire's treasury and look at the taxes that are increasing year by year......"

Doctor Mao Jiao talked a lot, worried, blood and tears, kneeling on the top of the hall and said.

Mao Jiao's words made everyone in the hall gasp, and one by one they were nervous, and they looked at His Majesty with no joy or sorrow in horror.

This Mao Jiao is really arrogant, is this sarcastic His Majesty is a tyrant?

But not everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death, and there are many iron-clad ministers.

Twelve out of a dozen officials from all over the country stood up and knelt down, they felt the same way as Mao Jiao, and their voices were tragic and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty." ”

Ying Zheng was as stable as Mount Tai, sitting on the throne, watching the scene in front of him with cold eyes.

He is not the hairy boy who first ascended the throne, but the first emperor who swept Liuhe and shocked the world.

This kind of scene, he doesn't know how much he has experienced in his life, so he will ignore it.

Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si, who was hanging his head, and then said, "I don't know what Prime Minister Li Cheng thinks?" ”

Sure enough, Ying Zheng's words immediately made all the ministers who knelt down turn their eyes to Li Si, the head of the hundred officials.

You must know that Your Majesty has many national policies, all of which are planned and operated by Li Si, if Prime Minister Li Cheng can advise Your Majesty together with himself and others, he will definitely be able to let His Majesty stop the army and support the people.

Li Si secretly complained in his heart, Your Majesty has pushed himself to the sword!

If they cater to the Sacred Heart, these officials will inevitably have an opinion of their own hearts, and they will inevitably fall into a notorious reputation for being inflammatory, flattering, and flattering to the Lord and seeking glory.

But if it is against the Sacred Heart?

His Majesty already has a heart for himself, he is not a stupid person, he has already felt it in his heart, otherwise His Majesty would not have been on the way to the south, so he took the lead in sending himself back.

Soon, after weighing left and right, Li Si had a plan in his heart, and immediately stood up, bowed to Yingzheng and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." ”

"Lord Mao's concerns are not unfounded, the world has been war-torn for a long time, the people's livelihood is withering, and the people's lives are poor and miserable is the consensus of the world."

Li Si first complimented His Majesty, and then said that what the imperial historian Mao Jiao said was reasonable and well-founded, but he never refused to express his opinion.

Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si meaningfully, he had been in a high position for more than ten years, and his heart had changed.

Less enterprising, more sleek and sophisticated.

The destruction of the Six Nations is only the beginning, not the end.

Although Mao Jiao's words are reasonable and well-founded, how can he not understand them?

But it's just a one-sided statement, before the unification of the world, there will be fewer servitudes for the people of the Seven Kingdoms?

When the countries are fighting, the people of all countries not only have to serve more complicated and more conscription than they do now, but also have to go to the battlefield with men from every family, and how many people will die in battle?

Whether it is the Great Wall in the north or the domestic straight road, the five-foot road is the foundation of benefiting the country and the people.

Besides, the war has just subsided, if there is no imperial court servants, how many families will be able to eat?

How many more people will starve to death?

In addition, most of the people who served as conscripts were young and strong, and the court gave them food, so as to reduce the burden on the people of the world and benefit all places, which was a good policy, not a tyrannical government.

If these people are allowed to starve, they will die horizontally and vertically, and will not they add chaos to the empire?

When the soldiers of the six countries return to the fields, if they don't have enough to eat and find something to do, do they want to make them rebel?

Pedantic!

If we return to one today, it has been ten spring and autumn, most of the barren fields have been restored, and the order of the world is thriving.

All kinds of projects are almost complete, and I was ready to stop the works this year and support the people in the fields.

As for the 700,000 criminals in the imperial tomb, they are already wearing sinful bodies, if they are not punished, how can they help the world?

Do you have to ask the court to raise these sinners for nothing? Then the price of this crime is inevitably too low, and the world will not be in complete chaos.

"What Prime Minister Li Cheng means is true to what Mao Aiqing said, I am a dumb monarch without a way, tyrannical and tyrannical, and ruining the lives of the world?"

Ying Zheng put aside his distracting thoughts, looked at Li Si with deep eyes, and said in a tepid tone.

Li Si immediately knelt down, and hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, there is absolutely no disrespect in the death of a minister."

"Oh? Then I don't understand, what did Prime Minister Li Cheng mean by what he said before? ”

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si, who was kneeling on top of the hall, crawling and trembling, and asked coldly.

Although it was winter, Li Si felt that his back clothes were soaked with sweat, and he knew that His Majesty was forcing himself to make a statement.

His Majesty did not like this vague answer, he was too clever to think of himself.

"Your Majesty, the Indochina Peninsula has fertile land and vast territory, if it can enter Qin, it will be no less than the land of Bashu Tianfu and become another granary of the Great Qin Empire."

Li Si crawled on the ground, didn't dare to play tricks anymore, and hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, I am a great Qin, with a vast territory, a thriving people, Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, General Meng can fight well, how can the barbarians in the south of China resist the military might of Great Qin, the minister feels that what Prime Minister Li Cheng said is reasonable."

"Your Majesty, Zhongnan is located in the south of Great Qin, the south is uncertain, and it is necessary for the army to be deployed.

"Your Majesty, the minister agrees."

Li Si has been in Qin for decades, and he has been a very popular minister for nearly ten years, and his protégés and former officials are all over the court.

As soon as he opened his mouth, most of the officials who had been quietly watching the changes, half of them spoke out to refute the imperial historian Mao Jiao and support the empire's southern expedition.

"What do you think?"

Ying Zhengba looked at the ministers who were still waiting to see what was going on, wanting to be offended, and asked.

The remaining half of the ministers saw His Majesty's gaze and immediately lowered their heads.

"Your Majesty, the ministers agree with the southern expedition, and they will complete their achievements in one battle, and they will never suffer for future generations."

They are all full of scriptures and books, and they have been in the officialdom for decades, and if they still can't see His Majesty's determination to conquer the Indochina Peninsula once and for all, then they will be in vain.

"Mao Aiqing, look? United, you're making it hard for me to do this. ”

Ying Zheng never said a word about the need for a southern expedition, but with just a few words, the situation was instantly reversed and those ministers who opposed the southern expedition were isolated.

Mao Jiao smiled bitterly and sighed deeply in his heart.

His Majesty is eloquent and strategic, with the majesty of the unparalleled Holy Lord, and he is arbitrary in the court.

He is just doing his duty as a courtier, and as for how His Majesty adopts it, it is not up to him to control.

"Your Majesty."

If he insists on going his own way, it will only displease His Majesty and shame his colleagues in various ministries.

In the imperial situation, if you can't recognize the general trend, then you, the imperial historian, would have abdicated a long time ago.

It cannot be changed, what is needed now is the unity of the upper and lower levels, and the Manchu Dynasty is united in its civil and military efforts to end the war as soon as possible.

"Mao Aiqing, Meng Tian of the Indochina Peninsula only brought 50,000 Great Qin Ruishi, and the logistics department also sent 500,000 prisoners to supply, the previous 300,000 laborers were just in a hurry, and after the prisoners took over, they will all return to their hometowns to farm with peace of mind."

Ying Zheng glanced at Mao Jiao, who was a little lonely and melancholy, and said meaningfully.

When Mao Jiao heard this, he was stunned, and then looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, is 50,000 people inappropriate?" Minyue and Ouyue raised the strength of the whole country, and with 500,000 troops, it took ten years to stabilize. ”

"The Indochina Peninsula is vast, uninhabited, and the dangerous mountains and rivers are several times better than the land of Baiyue. Although General Meng is a peerless general who shocks the world, this is a bit too hasty, right? ”

Ying Zheng saw that Mao Jiao's attitude changed drastically, first opposing his southern expedition, seeing that he could not do anything, and then began to worry about the war in southern Xinjiang.

Such a minister is what Great Qin needs!

If the Great Qin and Manchu dynasties were like this, why can't they conquer the four seas? Dang Qing Yidi?
