Listening to the rooster crow one after another, the window was already slightly bright, and another day began.

But everyone in the lobby was not tired, even the three old men were in good spirits. Obviously, Hu Hai's change has given everyone too much excitement and encouragement.

After a night of planning, the general strategy has been decided, and now it is up to Hu Hai to make a decision.

Hu Hai stood up and walked around the lobby slowly, and everyone in the lobby stared at Hu Hai closely.

Hu Hai turned around and said, "I will issue three edicts today." These three edicts spread all over the world. ”

Li Si and the others obviously didn't know that Hu Hai had this idea, but they didn't interrupt, they also wanted to hear what Hu Hai's first edict would be for the world.

"The first edict. Guilty of his own edict. Since I succeeded to the throne, I have favored Zhao Gao, greedy for pleasure, disobeyed loyalty, severely punished the law, re-enforced labor, and forgot the people's livelihood, so that the government of the officials was corrupted, the people were displaced, and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms took advantage of the chaos to restore.

I didn't take care of political affairs, used annihilation and imprisoned loyalty, and almost destroyed the Great Wall, and I was also guilty;

If there is no father and the emperor awakens me in the spirit of heaven, I will destroy my great Qin foundation for thousands of years, and I will be a sinner for the great Qin through the ages.

I will receive eighty lashes in front of the imperial city, and my use will be reduced by half from this edict to punish my crimes, which have been edicted to the world, and all those who say Xianyang can come to watch me be punished. ”

As soon as Hu Hai said this, a group of ministers and generals were stunned and speechless, not only the new term of the guilty edict, but also the matter of the first emperor's manifestation of Hu Hai.

Obviously, Hu Hai's method of "sin and self-edict", which is rare in all dynasties after Qin, is at least unprecedented in today's China.

Hu Hai has been thinking about this "guilty edict" for a long time, and he has not only ruthlessly whipped himself, but also reduced his eating and drinking consumption by half, and the emperor's profession is not easy to do.

Although even if you don't make this edict, no one will say anything, but you have to give an explanation for some of the things you did in your predecessor, right? If you wait for the people of the world to mention it, it is better to carry the black pot for your predecessor.

At that time, I beat and punished, and I was punished, so I don't think anyone would say anything anymore.

Hu Hai didn't notice that the people in the hall were already stunned by his first edict, and continued with his head down and pacing: "Second edict. Suspend the construction of the Lishan Mausoleum, the construction of the Lishan Palace, and the construction of the unfinished straight road.

All those conscripted in these three places were released and allowed to return to their hometowns, and the counties along the roads were not allowed to make things difficult. All servitudes were compensated with one stone of food each. This is the second edict;

The third edict abolished the "Shiwu Lian Sitting Law", abolished the "clan punishment" (the punishment of one person committing a crime to destroy the nine clans), and exempted the world from Yao Fu for one year. This is the third edict. What do you think? ”

After speaking, Hu Hai stopped in front of the map hanging in the lobby, stared at the map and asked.

Be quiet! After a while, it was still quiet!

Hu Hai feels wrong, he always has to say something, why is there no one in the room who speaks? When he turned his head to look, he found that Li Si and the others were looking at him with dull eyes, even Wei Yi, who had always been calm and composed, was full of incredulity at this time, muttering to himself that he didn't know what he was talking about.

Hu Hai saw that the three old men who were stable and stable were all like this, and couldn't help but secretly say that there is no need to be scared like this, right?

"Li Aiqing? Feng Aiqing? Wei Aiqing? Hu Hai walked up to the three old men and shouted at each of them, and shook them with his hands in front of everyone's eyes.

"Your Majesty, this edict cannot be issued, it cannot be issued! Your Majesty! ”

The first to come to his senses was Feng Quji, the old prime minister, and as soon as he woke up, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and shouted loudly.

With Feng Quji's shout, Li Si and the others all came to their senses, knelt on the ground and said in unison: "This edict cannot be issued!" ”

Even the generals of the forbidden army, such as Zhang Han and Wang Li, who had already given up on Hu Hai, were in unison.

Seeing this, Hu Hai said helplessly: "Everyone, Aiqing, get up and speak first." ”

"If Your Majesty does not withdraw this edict, the ministers will never stand up."

It's Feng Qujian again.

Sure enough, he took the lead, and the rest of Li Siwei, Wang Li and other generals of the forbidden army also said so in unison.

Hu Hai really had a headache now, and said helplessly: "Can I give the remaining two edicts?" ”

This time it's Li Sifeng's turn to get sick and wait for a headache, one by one, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what the remaining two edicts are. I was just distracted by Hu Hai's first edict, and I didn't hear what Hu Hai said about the other two edicts.

The old man Feng Quji was more single, and he said with a stiff neck: "Your Majesty's first edict is too shocking to the ministers, so the ministers ask Your Majesty to say it again." ”

Hearing Feng Quji's words, Hu Hai immediately laughed, he found that this old man was really cute, love is love and hate, no wonder he was locked up by his predecessor. I like it though.

But Hu Hai didn't want to let them go so simply, so he pretended to be displeased and said: "I don't sleep and think about it, but Aiqing and the others treat my words as nothing, can Qing and the others still see me in their eyes?" ”

Everyone is not good at stubble, and they immediately knew that this was the emperor deliberately looking for trouble and an excuse to bargain, but who called himself and others did not hear what the remaining two edicts were, so that Hu Hai caught the handle.

Feng Quji was very dissatisfied with Hu Hai's stitches, and raised his eyebrows and wanted to open his mouth again.

Hu Hai saw that the old man wanted to speak again and hurriedly said: "But I still know your Aiqing's loyalty, so forget about this matter, you Aiqing should get up first and listen to me finish the remaining two edicts, and then we will discuss it, okay?" ”

Hu Hai had already given the steps, and if he continued to kneel with his neck at this time, it would not give the emperor face, so Feng Quji, Li Si, Wei Yi and others had no choice but to get up thanks to him, and the rest of the generals saw that the three important ministers had already softened, and of course they could only get up neatly.

After everyone got up and sat down, Hu Hai said the remaining two edicts that he wanted to send, this time he didn't scare everyone, but no one spoke, and they all frowned and thought.

After a while, Wei Yi spoke first.

"Your Majesty, the remaining two edicts have no objections, but is it possible to consider the suspension of the construction of the First Emperor's Mausoleum? There is also this first edict related to the face of the heavenly family, whipping Your Majesty, this edict must not be issued. ”

"Your Majesty, it should be so."

Li Si and Feng Qujian also hurriedly said.

The remaining two edicts are obviously a good thing. The three of them all knew that the three projects mentioned by Hu Hai currently concentrated most of the strong labor force of Great Qin, nearly five million people, and let these people go back, although it may send troops to the remnants of the Six Kingdoms who are rebelling, but it is better than leaving this time bomb around, isn't it?

The harsh laws of exempting Yao Fu and stopping the punishment of the clan can calm the anger of the people, which is of course a good thing.

As for whether the Mausoleum of the First Emperor will be suspended or continued, we can only think about it again, because this is also a major event, and the current prestige of the First Emperor in the hearts of the old Qin people is still unmatched.

"The mausoleum of the father and the emperor can be built slowly by leaving more than 1,000 craftsmen, and the rest of the mausoleum, including mine, will be suspended. I'm not dead yet, why did I build such an early mausoleum? Hu Hai said with an unhappy face.

Of course, no one will object to this anymore, and if they oppose it again, isn't it cursing the emperor to die? Only fools do it.

"As for the edict of sin, how about you Aiqing listen to me and say whether you oppose it or approve it?" Hu Hai Road.

Huang Yanjing said this, who would dare to say no? Li Siwei and Feng Qujian had no choice but to keep their mouths shut, of course, they also wanted to hear Hu Hai's reason.

"I've already said all the mistakes I've made before. If I don't give an explanation to the people of the world, the people of the world will be leisurely, and what kind of face will I have to continue to sit on this throne at that time?

If you don't give an explanation to the ministers, even if you do your job, you will have a grudge, at such a moment of survival, you Aiqing must know that the embankment of thousands of miles is destroyed in the anthill. ”

Li Si, Feng Quji, and Wei Yi were silent when they heard Hu Hai's words, obviously knowing that what Hu Hai said made sense.

Seeing that the three of them had already moved, Hu Hai decided to throw out another big flag: "Besides, this edict is also the wish of my father." After saying this, Hu Hai was silent. The bombshell has been thrown, and if the three of them don't agree again, it won't be possible, but presumably with the banner of the First Emperor, it should be no problem.

Hearing Hu Hai talk about the First Emperor again, Li Si's eyes flickered, at this time, Hu Hai's changes In addition to the majestic First Emperor, who else has the ability to turn a mediocre person into a hero?

"Is it not to wait for the court to tell the ministers, and then issue an edict to the world?" Li Si groaned.

"Not necessarily! It is enough to have two prime ministers, Wei Guowei and all Aiqing here. Immediately carry out the decree and decree the world! ”

"Your Ministers obey! Your Majesty! Hooray, hooray, hooray! ”

………………

On April 11 of the first year of the Great Qin II, the three edicts issued by the second emperor of Qin, including the "guilty edict", were transmitted to all parts of the world in the sound of the hooves of countless stagecoaches.

The world is the "Three Edicts of Guilt", which opened the prelude to Huhai's pro-government Daqin.
