Chapter 42: The King of Qin reads and reprimands his ministers
The next day, Lu Yan did not go to Wangyi Palace, but went directly to the Xianyang Palace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Li Si and the others saw Lu Yan holding a roll of bamboo slips in his arms, but they just thought it was ridiculous, they just thought that Lu Yan was still young, and he was usually a little clever and nothing, so he would definitely not have any high-level opinions.
Along with Lu Yan was Zhang Cang, before coming Zhang Cang carefully read Lu Yan's admonition, but his expression was very complicated, he just held it in his hand and examined it for a long time, and he didn't say anything.
"Could it be that there is something wrong with this "Chen Zhengji"?" Lu Yan looked at his master with some doubts.
"It's not, Ziyu can write such a statement, I feel ashamed of my teacher, I didn't expect that I was inferior to my own apprentice." Zhang Cang flicked his sleeves and said, Lu Yan just glanced at Zhang Cang, and the master's angle of looking at the problem was really sharp.
Hearing Zhang Cang say this, Lu Yan also had confidence in his heart, at this moment, as Zhan Shi, his position was just standing in the center of the hall, but what was surprising was that Kui Lin, who had not been in the hall for a long time, also came to the court.
Ying Zheng didn't observe carefully, "Ladies and gentlemen, there is something to do today." Ying Zheng shouted a little lazily, while glancing down slightly.
For a moment, everyone was indifferent, and Lu Yan didn't care about the eyes of others, and immediately walked out of the queue and stood in the center of the main hall.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has a letter of advice." Lu Yan bowed and saluted, and at the same time took out the bamboo slip and presented it to him, Ying Zheng waved his hand, and the attendant next to him hurriedly took the admonition.
"If it's peaceful today, Lu Aiqing can still point out political malpractices, it's really hard." Ying Zheng spread out the bamboo slips on the wooden table as he spoke.
"The king governs at home and abroad, and he should do his best as a courtier." Lu Yan said slowly, not daring to raise his head at all, there was already sweat flowing from his forehead.
In the entire court, the moment Lu Yan handed over the letter of advice became much quieter, no one dared to speak, and Li Si looked at Lu Yan with some pride.
For more than ten minutes, King Qin's face was very indifferent, "Kui Lin, you haven't come to the court for many days, how did you think of getting here today, you can also read this book." Ying Zheng said and asked the attendant to hand the letter to Kui Lin.
Kui Fengchang took the admonition a little dazedly and carefully browsed it, although most of them praised the King of Qin, but the last section of the living sacrifice was particularly dazzling.
"The minister is completely obeying the king's will." Kui Lin immediately knelt down and said.
Ying Zheng sighed slightly, "I don't mean to blame you, I just want to ask you, how do you feel about this "Chen Zheng's Advice"?" ”
"His Majesty thought that there was indeed something wrong with the sacrifice of the living, but he was afraid of offending the king, so he did not point it out, and the ancestors also recorded the sacrifice of the living." Kui Lin said anxiously.
The attendant immediately took the letter of advice from Kui Lin's hand and motioned for him to stand up, "Although Lu Aiqing has a lot of praise in this article, I also see the things it refers to. Ying Zheng said slowly.
may have said something interesting, Ying Zheng immediately stood up from his seat, "From today on, the living sacrifice system will be canceled, and this matter will be done by Kui Lin, and slaves are also people, don't treat them as animals, Lu Aiqing will state the pros and cons, and the bounty will be 100 catties, and from today on, he will also be responsible for the construction of the Lishan Mausoleum together with Kui Lin." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Yan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, fortunately, the current Yingzheng is more sensible and knows what is right and what is wrong.
Yingzheng, who was still a little happy just now, gradually became gloomy, Li Si and the others looked towards the stage, and then lowered their heads and did not dare to look at random.
"You are all the humerus of the empire, and it is your accusation to complain about the situation, and now that it has been more than half a month, why did I only see Lu Aiqing's admonition!" Ying Zheng slapped the table as he spoke.
"The king is angry." Baiguan knelt down and shouted at the same time.
"I'm not angry, my world is peaceful, what am I angry about!" Ying Zheng suddenly shouted.
After that, Ying Zheng immediately paced back and forth beside the throne, "Don't think that I don't know, now the thirty-six counties are full of grievances and grievances, and I don't know how long my country can last." ”
"The king must not hearsay, there is no major event in the thirty-six counties except for the Liukou of Handan County, and Handan County has been pacified." Wang Juan immediately stood up and said.
Ying Zheng glanced at Wang Xuan, "As the third duke, you supervise hundreds of officials, and are in charge of local administrations, I don't believe that there is nothing to do, but there is nothing in the middle of a month." ”
"Lu Aiqing, as Zhan Shi, is just walking in Xianyang Palace, and if I can find my shortcomings, I don't believe that the county guards you are in prison are so peaceful!"
"From tomorrow onwards, the daily court is still so peaceful, you just wait to go home, and if there are less than ten cases a day, I will dismiss one person and confiscate his property." Ying Zheng said angrily.
No one below dared to refute, just bowed their heads, "Did you hear that?" ”
"Your servants will do as the king commands, and they will do their best." Li Si took the lead and said, because Lu Yan's "Chen Zhengzhi" did not expect to cause so many things, which actually made King Qin angry.
"Kui Lin, all the living people who want to be sacrificed serve as people's husbands, the guilty are exempted, and there are old and young people in the family, all of them will be compensated according to their qualifications, and Lu Aiqing can handle it with him." Ying Zheng eased the atmosphere a little and said.
Kui Lin immediately kowtowed, "Your Majesty obeys the order." "Speaking of this, Kui is also a talent, and his contribution cannot be denied with a unified weights and measures, and everything is done according to the will of the King of Qin, so the King of Qin attaches great importance to it.
"Your Majesty, the minister is responsible for building the Lishan Mausoleum, can you do things first and then report back." Lu Yan saw that Yingzheng's complexion was much better, and said indifferently.
Ying Zheng just smiled, "What if you do something wrong?" ”
"Don't worry about the king, although your subordinates are young, if they do something wrong, they will be punished, of course, they will be punished after the punishment." Lu Yan said jokingly, and couldn't help but make King Qin laugh.
"Okay, just according to Lu Aiqing's words." Ying Zheng finally compromised, and when Lu Yan came, he was in the mood of resigning, but he didn't expect to come back with another position.
After leaving the palace, Lu Yan turned around and walked towards Wangyi Palace, Hu Hai said yesterday that he had prepared grape sake, although Lu Yan had drunk wine, but he didn't know what grape sake was.
At this time, Hu Hai really prepared two jars of sake, the taste was very beautiful, Lu Yan didn't pay attention to etiquette, drank a few cups casually, and leaned his right hand directly on Hu Hai's shoulder.
"Brother, you can taste it too, don't always let my brother drink alone." Lu Yan squinted his eyes and said, maybe he drank a little too much.
"Ziyu really drank too much, and he actually called his son a brother." Hu Hai said helplessly, and at the same time asked a few maids to help Lu Yan lie down in the Wangyi Palace.
