This morning, the minister found that there seemed to be something abnormal in the atmosphere, but he didn't find any problems when he checked secretly, looking at the daily process, there didn't seem to be anything wrong, but he faintly felt in his heart what would happen?

Qin Shi Huang is worthy of being the Son of Heaven who unified the six countries, even though his heart is about another matter, but his face does not show it, and he still listens to the reports of various ministers with a normal face.

The unwitting ministers, with trepidation, finally reported everything as usual, and seeing that nothing had happened, they thought that they had thought too much, and began to breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, when he was supposed to announce his retirement from the dynasty, Qin Shi Huang said leisurely: "Meng Aiqing, how happened yesterday?" ”

Qin Shi Huang's words made all the ministers look confused, and then they all looked in the direction of Meng Tian, wondering what happened to make His Majesty so concerned.

After listening to Qin Shi Huang's words, Li Si had no abnormality on his face, no nervousness, no panic, as if he already knew in his heart that Qin Shi Huang would definitely ask.

"Thank you Your Majesty for the gift of the Imperial Doctor, now the situation in the palace has stabilized, but I am afraid that the Imperial Doctor will stay in the minister's mansion for a few more days, and I hope Your Majesty will approve it." Meng Tian replied respectfully.

"I'm right." Qin Shi Huang looked at Meng Tian domineeringly and said, "Tell Xia Mu to cure the person and return to the palace." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After hearing this, Meng Tian said with a grateful face.

"Have you figured things out?" Qin Shi Huang asked again.

"The minister has already found out." Meng Tian respectfully bowed and replied: "It's just that this matter is widely implicated, but there are account books as evidence, and the minister arrested all the people in the prison overnight and waited for His Majesty to deal with them." ”

"What's involved?" Qin Shi Huang listened to Meng Tian's words, frowned slightly and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Meng Tian still said respectfully: "This case is not only a case of hurting people, but also involves the robbery of people's daughters, the forcible seizure of people's things, and the bribery of many officials. ”

"Is that really the case?" After hearing this, Qin Shi Huang's face was extremely bad, and he looked at Meng Tian and asked, "What is the matter?" You make it clear. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has brought the account books, please verify them." Meng Tian took out the ledger from his arms, and then respectfully put it in the palm of his hand and handed it out.

Qin Shi Huang saw the account book in Meng Tian's hand, and his eyes gestured to Xiao Xizi, the personal eunuch beside him.

Xiao Xizi immediately walked respectfully and respectfully in front of Meng Tian, carefully took the account book, and then quickly returned to Qin Shi Huang's side and handed the account book respectfully.

Qin Shi Huang was very curious about how widely implicated Meng Tian said, but Qin Shi Huang's face became more and more ugly as he kept flipping through it, until after reading the last page, Qin Shi Huang angrily threw the ledger to the ground.

Although the ministers did not know what was happening, when they saw that His Majesty was angry, they immediately fell to their knees in fright and did not dare to raise their heads.

"How can it be!" Qin Shi Huang was so angry that he looked at the minister who was kneeling on the ground and said: "This is when I am dead, and the Son of Heaven dares to act so boldly and recklessly." ”

"......" After listening to Qin Shi Huang's words, the minister who knelt on the ground did not

He didn't even dare to raise his head, and he even slowed down his breathing, for fear that if he made any noise, he would immediately lose his head.

Qin Shi Huang looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground, his face was already gloomy to the extreme, for this group of ministers, Qin Shi Huang was disgusted in the center of his heart, on weekdays, trivial things quarreled endlessly, but when it came to the real big problem, they were as timid as rats, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

In the entire hall, only Meng Tian and Li Si really have the courage and are more capable of doing things, which is why Meng Tian and Li Si have been fighting in secret for so many years, but Qin Shi Huang has never blamed them.

No matter how they fight, as long as it does not involve the interests of Qin Shi Huang, Qin Shi Huang always turns a blind eye, after all, they are one article and one martial artist, and until the last moment, Qin Shi Huang will definitely not weaken his right-hand man.

What's more, Meng Tian and Li Si's secret fight directly helped Qin Shi Huang eliminate the danger of the minister's monopoly on power, they restrained each other, suppressed each other, and their own power would always be consumed, so that it was Qin Shi Huang who benefited in the end.

As the saying goes, the snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits, how can such a shrewd person as Qin Shi Huang not do it?

It's just that today's events are not only widely implicated in the ledger, but also these things happened in Xianyang City, which is the so-called foot of the Son of Heaven, which is equivalent to slapping Qin Shi Huang in the face, so how can Qin Shi Huang endure it?

What's more, this matter also involved Li Jiang, a person with a sensitive identity, so the situation became more sensitive and weird.

"Everyone has already been put in prison?" Qin Shi Huang asked with a gloomy face.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Meng Tian bowed respectfully and said.

"Let's cut them all." Qin Shi Huang looked down, as if he was talking about something ordinary, rather than deciding a person's life or death.

Meng Tian didn't have any opinion on Qin Shi Huang's decision, and Qin Shi Huang's decision was also what Meng Tian thought in his heart, so he respectfully bowed.

Qin Shi Huang glanced at Meng Tian quietly a few times, his gloomy face recovered slightly, and then said: "All the family property is confiscated, all the family members are allocated, all the women are official prostitutes, are all assigned to the frontier to build the Great Wall." ”

"Your Majesty." After listening to the words of Qin Shi Empress, Meng Tian finally spoke: "There are many people and daughters in these people's mansions who have been robbed, and I hope that Your Majesty will be gracious." ”

Meng Tian can not care about their life or death, because what they did deserved to die, Meng Tian had no sympathy in his heart, but how innocent were those people who were robbed, how could they be used as official prostitutes because of them, how cruel it was.

After listening to Meng Tian's words, Qin Shi Huang thought about it and agreed, after all, Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, and he was not a faint monarch with a mighty and domineering body, and he did not want to bear the charge of the faint monarch.

"This matter is up to you, Meng Aiqing, and I don't want to see such a thing happen." Qin Shi Huang can be regarded as selling a favor to Meng Tian, after all, over the years, Meng Tian has expanded the territory for Great Qin, and led the soldiers to shed their blood, with indelible contributions, but he has never taken the initiative to seek anything.

But Qin Shi Huang is actually selfish, he wants to seek justice for Li Jiang, but because of the obstacle of identity, he can't do anything blatantly.

However, Meng Tian is different, Meng Tian is Li Jiang's husband, and even more

I care about Li Jiang very much, so it is most appropriate for Meng Tian to deal with this matter.

In this way, not only did Li Jiang get justice, but it could also be regarded as Qin Shi Huang giving Meng Tian a favor, and more importantly, it benefited Qin Shi Huang more.

"The minister must live up to His Majesty's mission." Meng Tian said with a grateful face, but his heart was very calm, Meng Tian understood what Qin Shi Huang thought in his heart, but he also knew that this was the best result.

After Qin Shi Huang listened to Meng Tian's words, his eyes glanced at Li Si, who had been standing aside without speaking, Li Si saw that Qin Shi Huang finally looked at him, so he immediately walked out respectfully, and then knelt down heavily, made a big salute, and then said with a look of remorse: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, and I hope Your Majesty will punish the crime of the minister." ”

Li Si's sudden action made the ministers even more confused, and they didn't understand what happened to the prime minister, who made such a big salute.

"You are guilty." Qin Shi Huang said indifferently.

Qin Shi Huang's words also exploded in the hearts of the ministers, and they cautiously looked at each other at the people next to them, but they saw the same surprise in each other's eyes.

Li Si knew that His Majesty was really angry, although his face looked indifferent and indifferent, but he was afraid that he was already angry, Li Si had already known that this kind of thing would definitely happen today, and he had already prepared for it, so he was not embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, the ministers do not know people clearly, and they have failed to live up to the grace of the Holy Grace, please punish Your Majesty." Li Si showed deep remorse in his eyes, and said sincerely.

"Do you know how many of your protégés are on this ledger? Do you know how many unpardonable sins they have committed? Qin Shi Huang pointed to the ledger that he threw to the ground and said coldly to Li Si.

"Minister, I know." Li Si directly recognized it without quibbling, what a smart person Li Si is, since he knows that in this case, if he denies it, he will definitely not be able to eat it all, so he will walk away.

"Last night, General Meng Da had already called the minister to the public court of the government overnight to personally understand the process of this matter, and the minister was also extremely surprised at that time, he never thought that there would be such bullying and despicable people among the minister's protégés." Li Si said angrily.

Li Si looked as if he had been deeply deceived, and after getting the truth of the matter, that expression of remorse and anger was vividly expressed.

But Qin Shi Huang is such a smart person, what kind of person Li Si is, Qin Shi Huang has already understood very clearly, not that Qin Shi Huang does not know, but he does not want to break the current balance.

After all, Meng Tian and Li Si are involved in each other, and in the end, it is Qin Shi Huang who has the best interests, so for so many years, Qin Shi Huang has turned a blind eye, and sometimes he will take sides to maintain their balance.

But today is different, maybe it is really indulged for too long, Qin Shi Huang feels that it is time for people to know that they are not confused, and they have not been deceived, if they do not have their own indulgence, they are nothing.

Since Li Si knows that after this incident broke out, although his life is worry-free, His Majesty will definitely punish himself severely, if he asks His Majesty to open his mouth and beg for mercy again, it is better to admit his mistake first, in this way, His Majesty is afraid that he will not be able to do anything to himself.

"Since you are so unclear, in terms of the imperial examination, you should not interfere anymore, and I will rearrange suitable candidates." Qin Shi Huang looked at Li Si and said quietly.
