Inside the Xianyang Palace.

The ministers who had received the edict had gathered in the main hall at this moment.

Yingzheng, who was still kind and kind in prison before, sat majestically on the top of the main hall at this moment, looking at the ministers kneeling below with sharp eyes, without saying a word.

The crowd led by Li Si, Wang Juan, Meng Yi and Wang Jian all knelt on the ground, and no one dared to raise their heads to look at Yingzheng.

"The book revision has been going on for a long time, but there has been no progress so far, what do you think?"

Although Ying Zheng's tone didn't seem to care, no one dared to talk to the ministers kneeling on the ground, and they were even a little afraid that His Majesty would call them by name.

Because they know that Your Majesty is not asking them, but questioning them!

Seeing that no one answered, Ying Zheng's face couldn't help but sink.

A bunch of sake bags and rice bags!

Immediately, Ying Zheng gave Meng Yi a look.

I saw that Meng Yi immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, I think that this paper may be able to play some role in repairing books, after all, compared to this bamboo slip, paper is much more convenient."

Paper? What's that?

Li Si frowned, looked at Meng Yi and asked, "Master Meng, what is this paper?" ”

As Li Si's inquiry sounded, the others also looked at Meng Yi with curiosity.

I saw that Meng Yi unhurriedly took out a slightly yellowed piece of paper from his sleeve and said, "This thing is paper." ”

Looking at the paper in Meng Yi's hand, Li Si took it and looked at it carefully.

When the delicate touch came, Li Si couldn't help but be stunned.

"This thing...... What does it do? ”

At this time, not only Li Si, but also the other ministers were at a loss.

Meng Yi didn't answer in a hurry at this moment, but turned his head and glanced at Ying Zheng.

Seeing Ying Zheng bowing slightly, Meng Yi explained.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this paper is for writing, and it is much more convenient to write on this paper than to engrave words on bamboo slips, and it is not as heavy as bamboo slips, so it is perfect for repairing books."

After listening to Meng Yi's description, everyone was taken aback!

"Is this really that amazing?"

Meng Yi smiled faintly and said, "If you don't believe it, you can try it." ”

Hearing this, Li Si took the brush handed by the eunuch and began to write on the paper.

When the smooth feeling came, Lees froze in place with the pen.

And although Ying Zheng, who watched this scene, was a little proud, he also knew that just like Ran Fang said, paper alone was not enough.

At present, movable type printing has not yet been made, and he can only put this matter on hold for the time being.

At this moment, Li Si came back to his senses, looked at Ying Zheng and said with some excitement: "Your Majesty, this thing is indeed quite good for repairing books!" ”

Glancing at Li Si, Ying Zheng said quietly: "If the students of the hundred schools do not cooperate, what is the use of this paper?" ”

Li Si's expression froze, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Your Majesty's words can be regarded as hitting the nail on the head.

Even if the conditions are convenient, if there is no cooperation, it is indeed in vain.

In the end, Wang Juan stood up.

"Your Majesty, the matter of repairing the book is a big matter, and it needs to be considered in the long run."

"After all, these literati are all representatives of the hundred schools, and if they are neglected, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to the imperial court."

"According to the minister's humble opinion, it is better to choose another person to preside over the revision of the book."

Ying Zheng was a little disappointed in his heart, he had already thought that someone would say this before they came.

As long as one person is willing to take responsibility, then the matter will have a result.

"Is there any other way?"

Hearing this, Wang Juan instantly understood that His Majesty was not satisfied with his answer.

At this moment, Li Si, who has always liked to speculate on Yingzheng's thoughts, thought of Zhao Gao and said that when His Majesty came out of Xianyang Prison, he was in a very happy mood.

Moreover, this method of cultivating books was also thought of by His Majesty after he came out of Xianyang Prison.

Does that mean that Your Majesty actually has an idea in mind?

After thinking for a moment, Li Si raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng cautiously.

"The ministers are stupid, please give your majesty advice."

Ying Zheng sighed in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.

"I do have a wonderful method here, and it was taught by a great man."

As soon as the words fell, the ministers in the hall couldn't help but look at each other.

Bestowed?

What did this master come up with?

Just when everyone was speculating, Ying Zheng continued: "Repairing books is a big deal, and you can't waste food because of choking!" ”

"As the master says, Enwei is parallel!"

"When the book is repaired, those who are passive and slack off will be disqualified from repairing the book, and the theory of the book will be suspended!"

"As for those who have made meritorious contributions to the book, they can sign the book after the book is completed, showing the benevolence of my Great Qin!"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Is it as simple as that?

But at this moment, Li Si's heart was shocked!

This method sounds simple and crude, but it is extremely effective against hundreds of schools!

And at this moment, Wang Juan also came back to his senses and saluted to Yingzheng: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

"This law has clear rewards and punishments, which shows the sincerity of my imperial court's book repair, and also shows the fairness of my Great Qin's book repair!"

"To dispel the scruples of hundreds of schools of thought in this way, you can also repair books with peace of mind, which is really the best policy!"

When the others heard this, they suddenly realized!

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Ying Zheng seemed to accept it calmly on the surface, but he knew in his heart that if Ran Fang hadn't pointed out the key, he and this group of ministers would still be on the tip of the bull's horns!

The so-called bystander is clear, maybe that's the truth!

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng sighed in his heart.

At this time, Wang Juan spoke again.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the major event of book revision still needs to be presided over by one person, I don't know what Your Majesty wants?"

The ministers all looked at Wang Juan, he was really a stubborn and pedantic person, His Majesty didn't say anything just now, and he was still proposing it now, he was really not afraid of death.

Ying Zheng was expressionless, glanced at Wang Juan lightly, and asked, "Then in Qing's opinion, who is best responsible for this matter?" ”

Wang Wan bowed down and replied, "The minister thinks that this matter should be the responsibility of the servant Shi Feng Zheng. ”

Hearing this candidate, Ying Zheng glanced at Feng Zheng in the queue.

The servant Yu Shi was originally in charge of the clerical duties, and it stands to reason that there is no problem in letting Feng Zheng preside over this matter.

It's just that he has other thoughts in mind.

"Feng Zheng, what do you think?"

Feng Zheng paused when he heard this, bowed down and said: "The minister obeys His Majesty's orders, if he needs the minister, the minister will never give up!" ”

Although he is in charge of clerical matters, this power is still given by His Majesty, and now His Majesty is unwilling, so it is better not to be in the limelight.

Ying Zheng nodded, not blaming Feng Zheng, but pondered for a while.

"In that case, let Meng Yi be in charge of this book repair."

"Command!"

Li Si looked at Meng Yi, but he was a little worried in his heart, Meng Yi is a close confidant of His Majesty, but he is not a member of the hundred families.

And Feng Zheng is barely a member of the Legalist family, His Majesty did not choose Feng Zheng, but chose Meng Yi, it seems that he is worried that the hundred schools of thought will take advantage of this to make a big deal!

It seems that His Majesty is determined to take down the hundred schools this time, and even their Legalist faction is no exception.
