Chapter 158: Knowing his intentions, he was slightly punished
Ying Zheng sat in the hall, listening to the conversation between the two, and seemed to understand some of the reasons, and Li Si's performance seemed to be very uncalm, especially when Lu Yan asked about the origin of the food. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Xiangguo, Lu Aiqing asks you, just talk about it." Ying Zheng said a little lazily.
Li Si stood below and just lowered his head, how could he say this, but after thinking about it, the ministers in the entire palace were like this, and he was not alone, so what was there to fear.
"Your Majesty, these Chen rice are indeed donated by your subordinates." Li Si said unhurriedly.
Lu Yan just sneered, "Since that's the case, then please try whether this rice is delicious." Hearing Lu Yan say this, Li Si glanced at Yingzheng a little helplessly.
And Yingzheng didn't give Li Si a face at all, this kind of thing was his fault, and he had to give an explanation at this time, and it was useless to look at him.
"Xiangguo, this is your family's food, why don't you taste it yourself, but use it as a material for the construction of the school palace, I'm afraid that you are when we are animals." Lu Ziyu's words were very sharp.
Li Si was asked speechless, and Wang Juan next to him immediately came out, "Your Majesty, the people used to build the school palace are all prisoners, why not give them these things, if it weren't for the king's magnanimity, how could they have a chance to live, even if they didn't give them food, they should be grateful to Dade, not to mention these old grains." ”
"What Wang Zuoxiang said makes sense, these people are not as good as livestock, and it is already very good to give them these." Li Si immediately gained momentum, and then said.
Lu Yan just glanced at the two of them slightly, and it was really a raccoon dog, "King Qiqi, the school palace was built for the royal children to have a better upbringing, and there are still children of official families, is it not because the children of Li Xiangguo and Wang Zuoxiang have become adults, so they will not pay attention to it so much." ”
"Pingnanhou, you don't have to be fickle, this Chen Mi is not an exaggeration to give to those prisoners." Li Si insisted on his reason and did not let go at all.
Ying Zheng in the palace also frowned slightly, and the fools could see that it was obviously Li Si and the others who were wrong, but they still deliberately did not admit their guilt here, the reason why Ying Zheng didn't speak was just to see how Lu Yan defended.
"To the prisoners? According to what Xiangguo said, it was given to the prisoners, but there were less than 1,000 prisoners who built the school palace, and most of them were ordinary people's attendants, why did Xiangguo donate nearly 10,000 stone of old grain. Lu Yan couldn't bear to say.
Li Si finally lost his color a little, and looked at Wang Juan and Feng Zheng next to him, and the two of them didn't know what to do, just standing still in the queue.
"Enlighten the king, I beseech that we will be the masters of the unfaithful and punish the unfaithful." Lu Yan said and knelt directly in front of Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng immediately waved his hand, "Xiangguo, this matter is your fault, and you are still quibbling in the court, and now you are at a loss of words, what else can you say." ”
"The old minister is willing to exchange for his old grain, and there are no longer a few civil and military officials and ministers who are similar, and I hope the king will act cautiously." Li Si said with a sad face.
This matter itself is wrong, but this pot can't be carried by himself, it must be divided equally among everyone, Yingzheng saw Li Si's sincerity, so he didn't punish too much, just reprimanded a few words in the court, after all, they are all old ministers, and they can't bear to be punished.
"In this case, all the old rice will be returned by you, replaced with new rice, and the other three princes and nine Qing will be halved within a year, if there are other differences, I will not be spared, I don't know if Lu Aiqing can be satisfied." Ying Zheng said abruptly to Lu Yan.
Seeing that Li Si and the others already knew their mistake in their hearts, and they were important ministers in the court, they would probably not do much to deal with it, and it would be okay to push the boat down the river and do personal favors, after all, the food was already coming back.
"Your Majesty will follow the king's arrangement." Lu Yan replied respectfully, the matter can be considered to be perfectly resolved.
Outside the hall, Wang Juan and the three of them looked very gloomy, and they all looked at Li Si with some unkindness, "Xiangguo, this is your plan?" The court was speechless to refute? ”
"The two of them are angry, the matter has come to this point, the old man has no choice, usually the king is also tired of sinners, but today's Lu Yan quibbles, which makes the king feel partial." There is helplessness in the words.
Feng Zheng just waved his hand, "Xiang Guoxiu wants to talk about these useless things, and you say that how to solve the current matter is the most fundamental."
"Anyway, the old grain has already been donated, so what's the matter if you and I take back a thousand stones, our remaining old grain, those princes and nobles must be cleaned up, otherwise the three of us can play it together." Li Si stroked his beard and said.
"That's the only way, so you can lose less." Wang Juan also agreed.
And after Li Si returned home, he just asked people to pull over a thousand stones of old grain, and let the rest of the rest share it, although he received a few words of punishment, but he still earned it himself, Li Si sent out three thousand stone of grain, anyway, the last ones who suffered in the end were those officials and small ones.
Since this incident, Li Si has restrained a lot, and what makes him jealous is not Lu Yan, but Lu Yuwan, the wife of Fusu in the East Palace, who is about to give birth.
This is definitely a big deal for the royal family, so Li Si is just for leisure and entertainment these days, and he doesn't want to bother with other things.
And since the exchange of food in the school palace, everyone is very happy in their hearts, just one month, the general construction of the school palace has been completed.
In the East Palace in early autumn, Yuwan was lying on the bed a little tired, and since she had a fetus in her womb, her body had become more and more tired.
At the end of summer, Yuwan could feel that she was about to give birth soon, and every day Li was by Yuwan's side, serving tea and pouring water for her, very attentively.
It may be that there is something wrong with Li's body, and he has been married to the palace for many days, but after all, there is no sign of pregnancy, so he loves Yuwan even more.
The palace during the Qin Dynasty was not as unbearable as described in the film and television drama, and when she saw that a certain concubine was pregnant, she couldn't wait to kill the seed in her belly.
This kind of thing was only the Han Dynasty at the earliest, and even if there was such a thing in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was rare to have the idea of beating the fetus in the womb.
When Fusu Gongzi saw Yuwan like this, he didn't study the tax system every day, and it has always been Fusu's research project about this harsh tax and miscellaneous taxes.
But he didn't know how to explain it to his father, and this time there was a child born, Yingzheng would definitely be happy, so Fusu was ready to take this opportunity to explain this matter.
In the late summer and early autumn of 216 BC, Yuwan was lying on the bed, only to feel a little uncomfortable, and her face began to sweat.
Li Shi on the edge of the bed first noticed something unusual, "Sister, I may be about to give birth." Yuwan said with some difficulty.
"Sister, don't panic, I'll go to the doctor, come in a moment, come in a moment." Li Shi hurriedly went out to order, and Fusu, who was outside the hospital, heard the news and immediately walked to the bed to guard Yuwan.
