Chapter 16 Zhao Si is not afraid of death, and the first emperor admonishes!
Lowering taxes is offending the legalists!
But this matter is not impossible to mention, Daqin is not a hall of Legalism, according to the current attitude of the First Emperor close to Zhao Si, with Zhao Si taking the lead, it is not impossible for other schools to follow the charge.
There are too many people who are dissatisfied with the Legalist concept of governing the country, and there are many talents who dare to face the Legalists.
For example, Shusun Tong really planned to follow for a moment.
There is a high probability that someone else will fail to reduce taxes repeatedly, but Zhao Si may really be able to do it.
But Zhao Siti surrendered, where to descend is not good, he proposed from the first emperor's mausoleum and Afang Palace.
"Didn't you discuss it with the First Emperor?" The uncle and grandson scolded and retracted the half-pulled steps.
It is okay to surrender from the border army, from the Great Wall, and from the paving of roads under the world, but if you say that you plan to propose surrender from the mausoleum of the first emperor and the Afang Palace, it is tantamount to a dead end.
"This kid didn't tell me anything else?" Wang Jian frowned and looked at Wang Li.
"Father, I won't make it either...... Wang Li scratched his head.
"Zhao Si didn't tell me ...... either"
Wang Jian glanced at Wang Li, who was dazed, and sighed in vain.
But I began to think about it.
Was this discussed with the First Emperor, or did Zhao Si float?
Not only Wang Qian, but also those present who intend to follow up have such worries.
"Stop the mausoleum, stop the Afang Palace?" There was no expression on the face of the First Emperor shrouded in the crown.
"Yes!" Zhao Si nodded heavily.
"Overwhelmed, the people are struggling to make a living? In my Great Qin, it has come to this point? "The first emperor asked not Zhao Si this time, but the civil and military officials.
In the face of this extremely sensitive issue, for a while, no one dared to make a bird.
Seeing this, Shusun Tong's mind changed rapidly, looking at this situation, he was afraid that Zhao Si's false words were likely to have angered the First Emperor.
Good news, Zhao Si is an object that can be fought for, and in a way he can even be regarded as like-minded, and Zhao Si is close to the First Emperor, and the weight of his words is not comparable to ordinary people.
Bad news, the first emperor was angry, or Zhao Si provoked it.
Uncle Sun Tong's mind turned sharply, and he muttered for a moment and stepped out: "Your Majesty, today's Great Qin, the tax is ten times that of the ancient, 20 million people, there are no less than eleven people who serve, and the two families draw one ding, the weight of this conscription is also unprecedented, although Zhao Shangqing is a little exaggerated, but now Daqin Lishu is indeed overwhelmed......
Shusun Tong still followed, not for anything else, just to share some firepower for Zhao Si, not because of his friendship with Zhao Si, but because Zhao Si was an object to fight for.
As long as I don't tolerate Legalism, that's a good friend of Confucianism.
"Right now, the world is set, the Xiongnu have also surrendered, and South Vietnam has already set up a county, it is the time to take a light account and recuperate...... Uncle Sun Tong carefully considered his words, trying to cover up the truth that Zhao Si wanted to move from the Mausoleum of the First Emperor and Afang Palace.
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
In this court, there is no shortage of courageous people after all.
This time it was Zou Feng, the living fossil of the Yin and Yang family.
"The minister also seconded the proposal."
This time, he was followed by the contemporary leader of the peasant family, Tian Xin, who was deceived by Zhao Si into pondering Mendel's pea experiment.
"The minister also seconded the proposal."
This time it was a Confucian doctor who followed.
"The minister also seconded the proposal." This time it was a Lang official who followed.
There are not many people with him, but there are also a lot, and they all ignore the fact that Zhao Si wants to start thinking from the Mausoleum of the First Emperor and the Afang Palace.
It was proposed that some border troops could be dismantled and some inconsequential infrastructure construction could be stopped......
There are many reasons, there are many people who do not agree with the rule of the Legalists, but it is not necessary to say that those who follow are loyal people.
"According to what Zhao Qing said, this mausoleum and Afang Palace must be stopped?" The First Emperor asked again.
It was useless to cover up, the first emperor chased this point and slammed it, and the ministers lost their voices for a moment, only their uncles Tongtian Xin and Zou Feng still insisted on agreeing with Zhao Si.
"At present, there is the gold and silver honor of Fusang, and resting with the people does not have to stop the construction of the mausoleum and Afang Palace...... "Shusun Tong wants to make up for Zhao Si.
Zhao Si looked at the First Emperor with a slight puzzlement.
Obviously, the tax reduction was negotiated with the First Emperor in advance, and the First Emperor agreed to stop the Afang Palace and the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin......
Then, why did the First Emperor not agree directly and gave birth to so many changes out of thin air?
Could it be that the first emperor changed his hexagram in battle?
Zhao Si thought deeply and felt that the First Emperor was not this kind of person who changed his fortunes on the spot.
Just when he was thinking about why the First Emperor staged such a good show, Zhao Si suddenly realized the key.
"It's a bit of a mess......"
Zhao Si seemed to understand a little.
Zhao Si, who was a little confused in his thoughts, ignored his uncle and grandson Tong to make up for himself, and said angrily: "You have to stop!" ”
"Do you have to stop?" The First Emperor asked again.
Uncle Sun Tong didn't dare to interject this time.
Zhao Si still replied loudly: "You have to stop!" ”
The First Emperor was silent......
The atmosphere above the court suddenly became strange.
Zhao Si also realized what the intention of the first emperor's good show today was.
"Thou art not afraid?" The First Emperor was silent for a long time and asked again.
The voice seemed to be a little deliberately gloomy, but Zhao Si already knew it, but the expression on his face did not show it, but stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty dominates the Eight Desolations and Six Together, and in a word, there are countless lives and deaths, and the ministers are naturally afraid."
But a good courtier should not watch things go wrong out of fear.
If you are a general, you should not be afraid of dying in battle, and if you are an official, you should not be afraid of dying because of admonishment.
In the friendship of life and death, there is a great terror, and people are naturally afraid of it.
But people are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather, and death is death, and the country is dead? ”
Zhao Si has realized what the purpose of the first emperor is, but on such an occasion, Zhao Si, who is not magnificent, can only be a substandard copyist to piece together.
In addition to the shame of being a copyist, all that was left was moving.
The First Emperor, this is to take today's great court meeting as his stage for Zhao Si......
If Zhao Si can't figure it out anymore, this is to build momentum for himself, then he is really a fool.
And the first emperor was silent when he heard this, and the ministers all looked sideways at Zhao Si.
Under such pressure, although Zhao Si had a patchwork feeling when he said it, the meaning of what Zhao Si wanted to express was very clear.
People will die, and dying for the country is heavier than Mount Tai.
Integrity is the most infective thing, and at this moment, Zhao Sizhen is truly accepted by most people.
As a colleague, not the Eagle Dog of the First Emperor.
Of course, the premise is that Zhao Si can withstand the earth-shattering thunder of the First Emperor.
However, to everyone's surprise, the First Emperor was silent for a long time, but he did not vent his anger.
Just nodded slightly.
"Accurate!"
Under the crown, no one could see the expression of the First Emperor clearly.
Only Wang Qian, after the initial shock of losing his mind, accompanied by the first emperor's quasi-play, showed a look of understanding on his face.
"Your Majesty is still Your Majesty......" Wang Jian sighed.
This hand kills many birds with one stone, and it can be described as wonderful.
Of course, I have to admit that His Majesty is really close to Zhao Si.
Otherwise, even if it is a convenient one, it will not give Zhao Si a reputation in vain.
