Chapter 12 Pull it out and cut it off
"It's okay if there's nothing to do, it's okay to have nothing to do." Ying Zheng nodded and smiled, breathed a sigh of relief, then patted the back of Li Yang's hand, returned to the top of the hall, turned his eyes to Li You below, and said approvingly: "Li You, yesterday you desperately protected Zhongcheng, it can be seen that you are loyal and brave, and I am very happy." I have decided that your title will be promoted to one level, and you will be less knighted!"
"......." Li You was stunned.
He was meritorious in protecting Li Zhongcheng and was promoted to one level......
Isn't the emperor supposed to kill Li Zhongcheng?
This...... It's not what I imagined!
Moreover, what made Li You feel even more incredible was that this matter was even said by Li Zhongcheng!
Happiness came too fast, like a tornado, and Li You was in a bit of a trance at the moment.
You must know that Shao Shangzao is a high-ranking title, and the twentieth rank is listed as the fifteenth level, and the rank is the same as that of Jiuqing.
What does it mean, that is, even if Li You's official position is not one of the Jiuqing, as long as the title is reached, his identity is equal to that of Jiuqing, and he doesn't have to pay courtesy when he sees Jiuqing.
Although his father Li Si was the left prime minister and was highly used by the emperor, Li You was far from Feng Zheng, the son of the right minister Feng Quji.
Feng Zao is in charge of the imperial doctor, the position of the secretary, the silver seal and green ribbon, which is equivalent to the deputy prime minister.
And Li You is just a county guard, and the title is right, but now, because of Li Yang, he is not only promoted to take charge of the Yulin Guard, but today he is also promoted to a knighthood, which is an unexpected surprise for Li You.
In other words, hearing the emperor's gift, Li Si was also stunned, surprised, and at the same time extremely surprised in his heart. Seeing that Li You was still stunned, he hurriedly reminded: "Li You, don't hurry up and thank you!"
"Thank you...... Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li You reacted from a trance, stood up from the lineup, and hurriedly thanked him.
Ying Zheng nodded, and at the same time did not forget to remind Li You: "Zhongyu is the auspicious star blessing of Great Qin, and it is also the heavy responsibility of changing the law and strengthening the country, next time you can not tolerate any more mistakes, and you must ensure the safety of Zhongcheng."
Li You glanced at his father Li Si, and when he saw his father nodding slightly, Li You hurriedly responded: "Oh! The subordinates will do their best to protect the safety of Zhongcheng and escort the new law, and there will never be any mistakes. ”
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing this scene, everyone was a little puzzled.
Is this the fact that the emperor did not know about the "Public Law"? Or did the emperor not know about the Public Law?
If he knew the contents of the Public Law, how could His Majesty not be furious.
Just when everyone was suspicious, they heard Ying Zheng ask: "He Zhang, how is the progress of Afang Palace?"
He Zhangwei will be the post of Shaofu, and he is in charge of public buildings such as the imperial palace. The subordinate officials have the Stone Room Order, the East Garden Main Chapter Order, the Main Chapter Chief, the Left School Order, the Right School Order, the Front School Order, the Back School Order, and the Middle School Order. The stone room is in charge of building stones, the main chapter of the East Garden is in charge of carpenters, the chief chapter is in charge of cutting big trees, and the five schools are in charge of construction. And Afang Palace is responsible for He Zhang, who will be Shaofu.
As soon as everyone heard the emperor ask about the progress of Afang Palace, they immediately knew that Li Yang was about to finish, and the emperor really cared about these national projects the most.
Suddenly, everyone looked at He Zhang, who would be Shaofu.
He Zhang hurriedly stepped out and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the conscription order issued earlier, the opportunity for various counties has come."
None of the county officials arrived on time, and it was said that there was no one to levy, so ........ Therefore, it led to a shortage of manpower and a ...... progress Progress is also very slow. “
When the previous speaker surnamed Liu saw that the time for his performance had come, he immediately stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, I have thousands of people in Kyushu under the rule of Great Qin, how can there be no one." According to the subordinates, this is all the prevarication of the local officials below, and it is not credible. ”
Lang, for the officials to be elected, there are commentators on state affairs, there are Zhonglang who accompany the emperor's chariot, waiters, etc., there is no fixed number, in addition to the award often up to 1,000 people. These people are generally taken from the children of bureaucrats such as ministers, on the one hand, as the emperor's subordinates, on the other hand, to learn government affairs, which is an important way to become a leader during the Qin and Han dynasties.
It is precisely for this reason that the officials, in order to be appreciated by the emperor, will try their best to behave in front of the emperor in order to get the opportunity to hold real power.
In Liu Yilang's view, the emperor's inquiry about the progress of Afang is enough to show that the emperor, as in the past, cares most about the Afang project, and is naturally the easiest to be appreciated by doing what he likes and offering advice to the emperor.
Sure enough, after Ying Zheng heard this, he nodded slightly and said, "According to Liu Yilang, what should I do?"
Liu Yilang was overjoyed, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform finally came, and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty unifies the six countries, the four seas are one, and the Xianyang Palace is a building built before, at that time it was only a prince, and it is not consistent with the status of the Great Qin today, so the significance of the new palace of Afang is not comparable to the Great Wall." Therefore, the minister thinks that there must be no delay in the construction period of Ah Fang, and that a conscription order should be issued again immediately, and the conscription of servants should be increased, and if the counties and counties do not levy and deliver it on time, they will be punished for serious crimes, so that the construction period of Ah Fang will be worry-free!"
After Liu Yilang's performance, he was complacent and looked up at the first emperor in the palace.
I saw that the first emperor Yingzheng was expressionless, and he didn't speak, making a contemplative state.
At this moment, everyone was a little unsure, and they didn't know what the emperor thought.
The previous doctor who was very unhappy with Li Yang saw that the emperor seemed to be hesitant, so he hurriedly came out and seconded the proposal: "The minister thinks that what Liu Yilang said is reasonable, in the past, there were only kings and emperors in the world. Now, Your Majesty has unified the six countries, and its status and prestige are higher than those of previous kings and emperors, and this Afang Palace is a symbol of the status and prestige of our Great Qin Empire. Therefore, the minister also believes that the completion of Afang Palace cannot be delayed, and another conscription order needs to be issued!"
The emperor was still expressionless, and he couldn't see any of his thoughts, so he only heard him ask lightly: "Liu Yiyun's policy, is there anyone else seconding it?"
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know whether to seconded or hold it for a while
Not.
If this is according to the previous idea, everyone must have seconded it at this time. After all, it is wise to do what he likes and be of the same mind as the emperor.
However, today's early dynasty is very strange. originally thought that as soon as the emperor came to power, he would be furious and severely punish Li Yang.
However, things were a little different from what was expected, the emperor not only did not get angry, but he couldn't even see any signs of displeasure, and even cared a lot about Li Yang, and also gave a reward to Li You, who protected Li Yang.
Is it because the emperor did not know the content of the "Public Law"? Or was the emperor really determined to wholeheartedly support the change, even if he could agree to tolerate such a thing as a reduction in forced labor?
Everyone in the civil and military officials present didn't understand it, so everyone didn't dare to talk nonsense, and finally chose to wait and see.
Seeing that no one seconded the proposal, Liu Yiyun and the doctor didn't care at all, because they had a very strong intuition, Your Majesty would definitely not allow anyone to obstruct the three major projects of Great Qin, and wanted to stop the expropriation of conscription, is this possible?
And, more importantly, in the eyes of the two of them, especially at this time, it was wise to choose to stand on the opposite side of Li Yang and support the emperor's Afang Palace project. When His Majesty is furious and treats Li Yang's crimes, the two of them will naturally be valued by His Majesty, and maybe it will be possible for the official to be promoted to a few levels.
You must know that at the beginning, Feng Xiang and they had been admonishing and reducing forced labor, and Li Si was because he stood on the opposite side of Feng Xiang, voted for His Majesty's thoughts, and strongly proposed to increase the conscription and support the acceleration of the construction of the Great Wall, Lishan, Afang and other projects, which won the heart of the emperor and was valued
Use.
And today, such a good opportunity for loyalty has befallen the two of them, and it is indeed luck!
"Bold!"
Just when the two of them were thinking about it in their hearts, Ying Zheng suddenly shouted, he was expressionless a moment ago, but at this moment, he was already discolored, his eyebrows were angry, and he pointed at Liu Yiyun and Dr. Yi and scolded angrily: "What a strategy to increase the conscription, you two are telling the widow to go against the new law!"
As soon as this sentence came out, Liu Yilang and Dr. Yi below, their heads suddenly "buzzed", and their heads were cold to their feet!
It's over, I'm on the wrong side......
"Smack!"
The two of them knelt on the ground with a plop, and hurriedly begged: "Your Majesty, I ...... I don't dare to wait, I don't dare anymore. ”
At this time, even if the two of them are stupid, they know the answer, the emperor is not ignorant of the "Public Law", but he is supporting the "Public Law", so he did not attack Li Yang today.
Thinking of this, the two of them were so frightened that they regretted it.
However, when the emperor is angry, how can he be spared?
Ying Zheng was furious: "At this time, the farming is about to be busy, the "Public Law" has a text, the obligation of the people to be forced into labor, only when the farming is slack, you openly resist the new law, and it will be bad for me to change the new law of Daqin, how can I spare you and others!"
"Come on, pull out these two bad Qin New Law reformers and behead them!"
With Ying Zheng's angry shout, the two of them suddenly turned pale with fright, collapsed to the ground, and then their pants were wet, obviously directly frightened by incontinence.
"Whoa!"
Several forbidden army armor soldiers came out of the ranks, and directly pulled the two out of the main hall, and after a while, only a pile of urine remained in the hall......
"............" Everyone was stunned and shouted at each other!
Is this chopping? The two adults were beheaded like this?
Things changed so quickly that everyone couldn't even react.
After glancing at the two pools of urine left on the ground, everyone realized that the emperor's support for changing the law was unquestionable.
Thinking of this, everyone was shocked and surprised.
They never dreamed that the emperor would really support the change, and even the previous most important projects such as the Afang Palace could be put down.
Unbelievable, this is not the emperor's previous style at all!
However, although everyone found it unbelievable, the facts were in front of them, and they had to believe it.
In particular, thinking that he had almost seconded the two people before, he suddenly felt a strong fear, cold sweat broke out, and there was a feeling of walking around the ghost gate, and his heart was beating for a while, and his legs were weak.
Especially Feng Quji, who was even more afraid, took out a handkerchief from his cuffs, and quickly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. Because just now he really almost seconded the two of them, thinking of using this to prove that their Feng family does not support the new law.
But now it seems that it is really too dangerous, and the Feng family is almost doomed!
Of course, the most surprising was Li You.
At this time, he was so shocked that his jaw was about to drop.
That's right, Li Zhongcheng is all right!
For today's early dynasty's results, Li You felt incredulous, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers, all thought that the emperor could not spare him, how did Li Zhongcheng know that the emperor would not blame him, and he also confidently believed that the emperor would firmly continue to support the new law?
Especially thinking that he was so anxious about Li Zhongcheng before, he even stopped him outside the palace, telling him that there was a big disaster today, saying that he and his father would try their best to protect him.........
Thinking of what he said before, Li You had a feeling of eating flies.
Li Zhongcheng must have laughed at me in his heart at that time!
Where do people need me and my father to protect, people clearly have nothing to do, not only is it fine, but the emperor also fully supports the implementation of the new law. Those two fools who violated the new law and were pulled out and beheaded by the emperor are the best examples.
Thinking of this, Li You admired Li Yang even more, it seems that this new law reform is stable
Of course, Li Si was also very surprised, he had thought about how to intercede with the emperor for Li Yang, and even the intercession was ready, and the result was ...... It's oneself thinking
And much more!
In other words, after Ying Zheng angrily beheaded the two of them, he glanced at everyone and said majestically: "The new law reform is more important than everything, I said it at that time, all those who are bad to my Great Qin reformers, regardless of the public family and clan relatives, will be punished according to law, and if there are any bad people who are bad to my Great Qin reformers, they will be killed!"
When everyone heard this, they all trembled, and hurriedly said: "The ministers support the change of the law, if this heart changes, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!"
Now it's okay, the ministers of civil and military affairs are so frightened that they even make an oath.
Li Yang was also angry when he saw Yingzheng for the first time, although he knew that he was not angry at him, he immediately felt that there was a murderous aura in the whole Dacheng.
The wrath of the First Emperor, terrifying!
Call.....
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were so frightened that they did not dare to speak.
Liu Yiyun and Dr. Yi just said a word about increasing the conscription, but they were pulled out and beheaded.
What does this mean?
The councillor and the councillor were originally for the special counselors, who were in charge of the discussion. According to the previous court discussion, whether it was right or wrong, it would not lead to death, but today it is because of one sentence, straight
,
Then the verdict was decided.
Emperor....... This is the new law that no one will be allowed to rebel against!
While everyone was terrified, they couldn't help but wonder, how did Li Yang manage to make the emperor so firmly support the change? How did he make the emperor not even care about the progress of projects like Afang Palace, Lishan, and the Great Wall?
Could it be that he, Li Yang, is really a disciple of the immortals, knows immortal arts, and can he give the emperor a soul?
They don't believe that the emperor will suddenly change his personality and become aware of putting the people's livelihood first, which is not the emperor's character at all.
Confused, confused......
Everyone couldn't understand what was going on, let alone today's early dynasty.
In particular, everyone can clearly realize that the emperor is not killing chickens and monkeys today, otherwise he would not have asked first, who else seconded the proposal.
In other words, even if a prime minister stands up and seconds Liu Yiyun today, he will not be spared.
In addition to being afraid, everyone was quite lucky, glad that they had passed by death today
.....
At this time, he will be the Shaofu He Zhang, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, since the new law stipulates that the people are not obliged to serve when the farm is busy, then the existing servants of this Afang Palace ......"
Speaking of this, He Zhang was so frightened that he didn't dare to continue.
Did he propose that all the existing servants be disbanded in order to support the new law?
He Zhang was scared when he thought about it.
Especially just now, he almost seconded Liu Yiyun's idiot, because he was responsible for the project of Afang Palace, so for the progress of Afang Palace, he should think of a way.
This time it's really heaven bless, heaven bless, I didn't second those two fools.
Now, knowing that the emperor's heart supports the new law is extremely firm, He Zhang really didn't know what to do next, so he had to bite the bullet and ask the emperor for instructions.
Everyone looked at the Emperor and wondered what the Emperor would decide on this matter.
The farming season is approaching, not only there are hundreds of thousands of servants in Afang Palace, but also Lishan and the Great Wall, together there are nearly two million servants.
You must know that these three major projects, in addition to Afang Palace, the Imperial Mausoleum Palace in Lishan involve the emperor's posthumous affairs! It can be said that it is a matter of the vital interests of the emperor himself, and the stakes are self-evident.
However, if the emperor did not dismiss the servants, it would obviously be contrary to the new law.
Everyone knows that this is a contest between the imperial power and the new law, and the result of the contest depends on whether the emperor is willing to condescend to the new law.
I saw that Ying Zheng did not hesitate, as if he had already made a decision on this issue, and said neatly: "The new law has a text, so naturally everything will be done in accordance with the new law." Now there is still half a month left before the farming work....... Zhang He listens to the order, and after half a month, all the servants will be sent to return to their original places of origin and work with all their hearts!"
"Huh?" Zhang He was stunned for a moment, his eyes glared out, the emperor really wanted to dismiss all the servants?
Zhang He couldn't believe his ears, and hurriedly asked, "Are the servants of Lishan and the Great Wall also sent back to their hometowns?"
Ying Zheng raised his eyes and stared at Zhang He, not angry and arrogant: "Isn't what I said clear enough?"
Zhang He was startled, and hurriedly took the order: "Oh!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Manchu Dynasty changed suddenly, and they were all shocked.
Call.....
Everyone was speechless in shock.
The emperor actually decided to disband all the servants in order to support the new law.......
This...... How is this possible?
Everyone couldn't believe that this could be true, and that it would have been unthinkable before. Don't say that the dismissal of all the servants, even admonishing and dissuading the increase in conscription cannot be realized.
And now.....
“..........”
All of a sudden, the Qilin Hall fell into a deathly silence.
