The Liyi rebellion happened like thunder and lightning, so fast that everyone thought that the Liyi rebellion would shake the foundation of the Qin state.

In the same way, the Liyi rebellion was short-lived, and it ended without any waves.

However.

Because of the suppression of the Liyi rebellion, the imperial court used extremely cruel means to suppress the slaughter, slaughtered the city for three days, nearly 100,000 prisoners died under the butcher's knife, blood stained the Yellow River red, until seven days later the Yellow River water returned to its original state.

And this.

It was a great shock to many people who tried to rebel.

But in the same way, the name of the tyranny of the Qin State can no longer be washed away.

"Your Majesty, in recent days, some people in many places have killed many officials in the name of tyranny and brutality in the Qin State."

"It's just that Lao Chen carefully investigated and found that these officials did have tyranny, corruption and oppression of the people."

Li Si stood on the fish dragon platform and said calmly.

"So, these officials really deserve to die?" Yingcheng asked suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, according to the righteousness of heaven, the old minister thinks that these officials who were killed are indeed innocent!" Li Si replied calmly, but changed his words again, and said, "It's just that the order of the world is governed by the law of self-discipline, and only the law can determine a person's life and death, including Tingwei only in the name of the law, to maintain order in the world for His Majesty."

"Besides, no one under heaven can decide the life and death of others, including the life and death of the wicked."

"For officials who make mistakes, they are promoted to prison, and they have their own court laws, and they can't find out that officials make mistakes in time, which is the lack of supervision of officials by the court system, and the only way to deal with them is to improve the system to find and deal with officials who make mistakes in a timely manner."

"Besides, no one else should be allowed to deal with the wrongdoer without permission, and this should be regarded as lawlessness!"

Listening to Li Sikang's impassioned words, Yingcheng asked again, "Then how does Master Li think to deal with this matter?"

Li Si did not give in at all, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister believes that there are two ways to deal with this matter, one is that after the investigation by the Imperial Commander and the Imperial History Office, it was found that the officials who were killed were indeed seriously corrupt, enslaving the people, wantonly accumulating wealth, treating human life as a mustard, and serious tyranny."

"This matter, in the eyes of the old minister, regardless of the cause of his death, is the responsibility of the imperial court, the Imperial Shi Dafu Mansion is responsible for supervising the officials of the world, and any illegal behavior has the right to directly admonish, up to the three princes and nine secretaries, down to the county government and township, there are measures.

Although these more than ten illegal officials are located in different places and have different situations, after all, the supervision of the Imperial Shi Dafu Mansion is unclear, and they sit back and watch the officials break the law.

In the same way, the Ting Wei Division, who has the power to be the director of the judicial investigation of the criminal law, is unaware of such illegal acts, and allows officials to violate the law and poison the people."

"The old minister believes that all the officials of the Imperial Court and the Imperial Doctor's Office should be punished for the crime of lazy administration and dereliction of duty in this incident."

Speaking, Li Si said firmly: "Officials, for Your Majesty, for my Qin State to stabilize the courtiers of the Quartet, the officials under the three princes and the nine secretaries perform their duties, and their duties are all defined, and they go beyond their own power to interfere with the exercise of power by other departments and bureaus to interfere in politics as ultra viress authority, but in the same way, it is lazy and dereliction of duty to not use power."

"Since the Imperial Commander, the officials in the Imperial Doctor's Mansion are responsible for supervising and investigating the violations of law and discipline by the officials of the Board of Directors, but they sit back and watch the officials violate the law and discipline, this is dereliction of duty."

"The old minister believes that it is not the officials who make mistakes that are wrong, but that the laws of the court are not applied to the officials, so that the officials make mistakes."

Yingcheng was silent.

The entire court was silent, and only Li Sikang's high-spirited voice remained.

"Second, it has been determined by the local government offices, the court commanders, and the garrison camps, it can be very certain that it was some rebellious people who committed rebellion and killed our Qin officials with the help of Liyi to quell the chaos, and such incidents should be completely eradicated, and those who commit such acts should be defined as the crime of treason in accordance with the laws of Qin, and those who are responsible or involved in it will be convicted of murder and treason."

"It's true that this incident started because of the fault of my Qin State officials, but this is definitely not a reason for the people to kill officials."

Li Si said, concluding, "The old minister thinks that this incident is involved

shall be punished!"

"The rioters involved in this incident should be severely punished."

As Li Si finished speaking, the many courtiers in the Xianyang Hall were extremely quiet.

Even the imperial historian Meng Yi, who was also in the same column, looked at Li Si speechlessly.

For such incidents, it would have been only necessary to appease or extinguish the rebellion, and the dead would have been greater, and all the merits would have been lost, which meant that no matter what mistakes the slain officials had made, the court would not continue to pursue them.

But now.

Although Li Si basically maintained this principle, he knocked it all down, even knocking on his Imperial Doctor's Mansion, and even knocking on his own Tingwei Mansion.

The result of such a treatment is completely an act of injuring 1,000 enemies and injuring 800 of themselves.

But.

For a while, he couldn't find the words to refute Li Si.

As Li Si said, it is not the fault of officials when they make mistakes, officials are also human beings, and if they are human beings, they have a greedy heart, and they can indulge their greed at will after having the right, and mistakes are the inevitable result.

And this is the responsibility of the Imperial Historian's Office, supervising officials all over the world, and it is indeed a dereliction of duty for officials to make mistakes but not correct them in time.

Many courtiers below also did not say a word, even if they had different opinions, but now His Majesty the Second Emperor did not have any attitude, and he did not dare to speak.

This matter originally belonged to Li Si's disposal decision-making, especially since the Second Emperor returned from Liyi City, he has relied more and more on Li Si, as long as it involves legal matters, he basically obeys Li Si's opinion.

Today's Son of Heaven Master Li Si is even more powerful than the former Zuo Prime Minister Li Si.

"What do you think?" And at this moment, Yingcheng's calm inquiry resounded in the main hall.

Hear the words.

Whether it was Feng Quji, Wang Ben, Meng Yi, or Yingtian and Shadow standing on the fish dragon platform, they didn't know whether to oppose or not.

And below.

Jiuqing and officials at all levels below Jiuqing also didn't know how to reply.

They had no idea about the attitude of the Second Emperor.

"Your Majesty shall make a decision." For a while, the court pushed the problem back to Yingcheng like a ball, wanting to listen to the opinions of the second emperor first, and then decide whether to oppose Li Si.

But.

Yingcheng didn't have the slightest opinion of his own: "Since no one has an opinion, this matter will be handled according to what Master Li said."

Moment.

The ministers are wooden.

For a while, it was not a taste in my heart.

"Since Your Majesty came back from Liyi City, it seems that there has been a drastic change in temperament, the previous Majesty, what an assertive male lord he was, he changed the law, but now His Majesty is obedient in everything, and he has no opinion at all."

Above the court, some people couldn't help sighing, and there was infinite emotion in their hearts, whether they really didn't know whether to be happy or depressed.

"The old minister obeys!"

However, in the midst of everyone's doubts, Li Si bowed down, and then slowly retreated to the side, the things he wanted to deal with had been dealt with, and the next things had nothing to do with him.

[In view of the general environment,

"You Aiqing still have something to play, if there is nothing to do, let's disperse!" Yingcheng asked again.

Feng Qujian frowned, and said: "Your Majesty, since Chen Sheng and Wu Guang of Qi County, Sichuan County, broke through Qi County, and occupied Qi County, the momentum is huge, and it has swept eastward.

"If it can't be pacified in time, I'm afraid that Sacheon-gun will be eroded."

Yingcheng asked rhetorically, "Does Master Feng have a good plan?"

Feng Qujian frowned again, and said: "The previous method of controlling counties with empty warehouses, although it was slightly effective, was also moved by the thieves, but it increased the people's hatred for our Qin State, with Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's rebellion, the people of nearby counties and townships rushed to follow, and it has reached the point of being out of control."

"The old minister thinks,

At this time, appropriate grain should be put in order to reassure the people."

Before Feng Quji's words fell, Wang Ben got up and said: "Your Majesty, Li You led the Sanchuan Battalion is still in Sichuan County, and General Mengwu is also in Huiji, the rebellion in Sichuan County is nothing but the people's rebellion, and it is not enough to be afraid, it only needs more than a month, and it will be encircled and suppressed by soldiers and horses from all sides, and the rebellion in Sichuan County will be pacified only in the morning and night."

"Since Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others dare to openly rebel, they should be completely exterminated to calm the world."

Wang Ben and Feng Quji's opinions did not conflict, and Yingcheng said without any opinion: "That is the case, then it will be as Feng Shi and Wang Shi said, to pacify the Sacheon Rebellion."

See here.

Feng Quji and Wang Ben were used to it, bowing down to pay homage and obeying orders.

"Your Majesty, Wuguan is a great victory, General Wang Shu and General Xin Sheng quelled Yingxian's rebellion, killed more than 7,000 thieves, and captured the traitor Yingxian alive. Wang Ben said, "It's just that Wang Ying of Wen has a noble status and doesn't know how to deal with it."

Moment.

The ministers also looked at the Second Emperor with frowns.

According to the law, King Wen Yingxian committed a rebellion and should be cut in half, but after all, King Wen is the sixth son of His Majesty the First Emperor, and such a ruthless beheading is too ruthless.

But.

Wen Wang Yingxian committed rebellion, but he couldn't help but punish him.

This is indeed a difficult disposition.

However.

Again, in the confusion of the ministers, Yingcheng slowly moved his gaze to Yingtian and said, "What does Zong Zheng think should be done with Yingxian?"

Hearing this, Yingtian didn't want to get involved in dealing with Yingxian's affairs at all, but in the face of the Second Emperor's inquiry, he could only be forced to say: "Your Majesty, Weichen believes that Yingxian should be treated as a clan ***, deprived of Yingxian's clan identity and title, demoted to the people, exiled to Lingnan, and never returned to the capital."

Hearing Yingtian's disposition, the ministers couldn't help but nodded, although there were conflicts with Yingxian's disposition, whether it was with the old Qin law or the new Qin law, but everyone still felt that it was more appropriate to use the clan *** to show Yingxian.

Merely.

The implementation of the new Qin law by the second emperor, and the treatment of Yingxian with the clan law at this time is a clear violation of the implementation of the new Qin law.

But.

In the midst of everyone's doubts.

Yingcheng said suddenly: "In this case, then Yingxian will be dealt with according to Zongzheng's decision, and after General Wang escorts Yingxian back to the capital, the three divisions will be tried, Zong *** will observe, and Yingxian will be tried for plotting against him."

Hear the decision of the Second Emperor.

Moment.

The Tingwei Mansion, the Great Law Mansion, the Imperial History Mansion, and the Zong *** below bowed down and said, "The ministers obey Your Majesty's orders!"

Be that as it may.

But in the entire court, many courtiers sighed more and more in their hearts.

Although the second emperor sitting on the dragon chair did not have any explanation, but these days of governance, they still found that the second emperor was delegating power, and was step-by-step lowering the rights that should belong to the emperor to six people, let alone seven people.

Left Prime Minister Li Si, Right Prime Minister Feng Quji, Protector Wang Ben, Zong Zheng Yingtian, Imperial Historian Meng Yi, Black Dragon Wei Shadow, and now the more powerful Empress Dowager Li Xian.

But what he didn't understand was that the Second Emperor was different from the rest of the kings, he had already been more powerful before this, and he ascended the throne as the Son of Heaven, he should have been in power and ruled the world, and he believed that as long as the Second Emperor was like this, there would not be too many voices of opposition in the court.

But.

These days, all the opinions put forward by the six Heavenly Princes and the Empress Dowager were adopted by the Second Emperor.

And even if the seven people didn't want to interfere, the second emperor still asked the opinions of the seven people and then adopted it.

Such a move.

It is undoubtedly the power of the seven people that has gradually pushed it to the peak.

In their hearts, this has gradually formed the idea that when encountering a major event, they should first ask the current Seven Nations Pillars.

Such an obvious act of decentralization made them very puzzled.

"You Aiqing still have something to play, if there is nothing to do, let's disperse!" But just as the ministers were thinking, Yingcheng's voice of inquiry sounded again.

It seems that he is in a hurry to disperse.

But.

This made the uncle and grandson below anxious, and he didn't even feel a good feeling in his heart, obviously, there were very important things to deal with in the Propaganda Division, and he had already reported this matter to Emperor Ming II, but Emperor II didn't even mention it here.

"Your Majesty, Wechen has a play!" Seeing that no one was reporting, seeing that he was about to disperse, Shusun Tong hurriedly went out of the ranks.

"Uncle Aiqing, what's going on?" Yingcheng asked knowingly.

"Goo!" Shusun Tong said without a taste at all: "Your Majesty, if rumors are spreading today, the Propaganda Department will also guide the folk rumors in accordance with Your Majesty's instructions, trying to stabilize the world with words."

"It's just that the effect of the Propaganda Division in quelling the rumors is not satisfactory."

"Wechen has repeatedly considered and summed up the ten most influential rumors."

"Among them, the most serious is the death of the First Emperor, my Qin State has exhausted its qi, and the world is about to fall apart, if such rumors cannot be eliminated in time, I am afraid that there will be greater disasters."

"Wechen has thought about it again and again, and in response to the ten rumors, he has made a solution to them one by one, and asked His Majesty to decide."

Shusun Tong said, and the ministers of the court also nodded and discussed, and they also had a little understanding of the fierce rumors in recent days, knowing that if they were not dealt with in time, the Liyi rebellion would probably become a microcosm of the world.

What makes them curious is what kind of solution Shusun Tong has come up with.

Hearing Shusun Tong's recital, Yingcheng also nodded, he knew the ten strategies proposed by Shusun Tong, but he still didn't say anything about it, but looked at Feng Quji and asked, "I don't know what Master Feng thinks of this, is the ten strategies proposed by Uncle Aiqing feasible?"
