Early the next morning, Li Si came to Fuliang Palace. First, he handed over the prince's seal letter to me, and then arranged for someone to remove the plaque of Fuliang Palace, replace it with the prince's palace, and appoint the prince's subordinate officials one by one.

The rest of the people were in the diplomatic pick-up, and I let Lees into the house.

After taking his seat, Li Si took the lead in speaking: "From today onwards, His Royal Highness will be the second prince of Great Qin, congratulations to His Highness." ”

I arched my hand and said, "I still need the Prime Minister's teaching." ”

"Your Highness is serious, this is the duty of a minister. At present, the "Qin Law" has been proofread and submitted to the emperor. The emperor's intention was to let His Royal Highness get acquainted with political affairs as soon as possible and supervise the construction of the Lishan Mausoleum and Afang Palace, so that His Royal Highness would not bother with the matter of "Qin Law". ”

Presumably Yingzheng had already discussed it with Li Si, so I didn't say anything, and said with a slight smile: "It's okay, it's just a whim, everything is in accordance with my father's order." ”

"By the way, is the Yingyue case an eyebrow?" I casually asked about Yingyue.

Li Si did not hide it: "In fact, the emperor has already noticed it, otherwise he would not have directly put Li Zhuo and Ying Yue in prison at the court meeting, last night Tingwei has interrogated the two, according to the confession is indeed related to the remnants of the Chu State, 17 people have been arrested, and the rest are all interrogated." ”

This surprised me a little, I just asked casually, but I didn't expect that there were already interrogation results in one night, and 17 people were arrested, which was too efficient, I couldn't help but be surprised: "So fast? ”

Li Si was not complacent: "Although His Highness has known about prison in the past, he must not have really experienced the edict. Ordinary criminal cases will send the prisoner to Xianyang Prison, and the Xianyang Order will investigate and handle it, and only need to hand over the investigation results to Tingwei for examination, and Tingwei can close the case after the examination is correct.

However, cases such as rebellion, collaborators, witches, and officials with an annual salary of more than 900 stone violated the law, or the emperor personally ordered the investigation and handling of the case to the court commander for direct investigation. For such a big case, whenever it is handed over to Tingwei, it must be tried at that time, day and night. ”

"No wonder, the prime minister was born in the court, and presided over the revision of the "Qin Law", and he is really proficient in criminal law." I complimented.

Li Si said with a smile: "Your Highness praises falsely, the current court captain Meng Yi is the younger brother of General Meng Tian, and he has been taught by the emperor for many years, and the ministers are not as good as him." ”

"The Meng family is worthy of being a family, and they have produced great talents." I sighed.

Li Si smiled, and then returned to normal: "Yes, the Meng family is really the pillar of the country. ”

It seems that Li Si and the Meng family are really not very harmonious, Li Si has gone all the way from a small guest to the current position of prime minister, although it cannot be compared with the deep-rooted roots of these families, it is also reasonable. ’

The thought in my heart moved slightly, I asked Lan'er and the attendant to step back, and mentioned two things related to fate: "There are two more things to ask the prime minister for advice this time, and I also ask the prime minister to give advice." ”

"Don't dare to teach, Your Highness, please speak."

"First, I am quite worried about my father's eastern tour." I worried.

Li Si pondered for a long time and sighed: "Don't dare to deceive Your Highness, the minister is also worried, the emperor's body is ...... The minister didn't dare to say much, the road was far away, and the money and food needed could be settled, but the imperial doctor's order was really mediocre......"

Its hidden meaning is self-evident: Ying Zheng kept his illness secret, although he killed a group of monks, he still only took pills when he was sick, and this time the eastern tour was so far away, it was still a question whether his body could hold it, but anyone who had more contact with Ying Zheng could see it.

Li Si dared to say this, he had already made up his mind, and if he was asked to explain it again, he would risk losing his head. But he has to say that Ying Zheng is his biggest and only backer, and if Ying Zheng dies, it is unknown whether he Li Si can survive. You must know that Li Si, a guest from the Chu State, can become the prime minister of the Qin State, and it is impossible not to offend people, and most of the people who offend are still from the family of the gate lords.

"Let's wait for the Yingyue case to be over." I didn't dwell on the topic too much. Li Si's words may be beheaded when they reach Ying Zheng's ears, and my words may not survive when they reach Ying Zheng's ears, and discussing the emperor's life and death in private can be regarded as complicity, not to mention Ying Zheng, who is extremely suspicious!

"The second thing is about the construction of Afang Palace and Lishan Mausoleum, what advice does the prime minister have?" I threw up a second question.

Li Si was happy this time: "Your Highness Lishan Mausoleum doesn't have to worry, the prisoners of Daqin are basically sent to Lishan to build a mausoleum, in addition, there are also some Qianshou and craftsmen who have been requisitioned through forced labor, so you don't have to worry about manpower."

Lishan Mausoleum is in charge of Zhang Han, this person was originally Zuo Zhonghou, who was sent to Lishan for some reason, and is now Zuo Order, and his performance is acceptable.

As for Afang Palace, when the Yingyue case was investigated, the minister immediately made up for the lack of people, and the matter was made clear to the emperor. ”

'Another mainstay appeared' Hearing Li Si's words, I care more about Zhang Han!

Judging from the historical records, this person's ability to build a general is much stronger than that of dry civil engineering. History is in the second as the first time as a Shaofu, and then led 700,000 prisoners to be invincible, but unfortunately still could not defeat "its god brave, peerless" Xiang Yu, the battle of Julu was defeated by Qin II and Zhao Gao blamed, and then experienced the defeat of Zhangshui, and finally surrendered Xiang Yu under the persuasion of Sima Xin and Chen Yu, was named one of the three Qin King Yong, built the capital and abandoned the hill. Later, he was defeated and killed in the battle of the waste hill with Liu Bang.

"I want to find out if Zhang Han is not that Zhang Han as soon as possible, if so, he must be included in the core, this kind of talent can't be wasted." I probably had an idea in my heart, and I bowed my hand to Li Si and said, "Thank you Prime Minister for your advice, then there will be Prime Minister Lao." ”

Li Si hurriedly replied: "The duty of a minister." If His Highness has no other instructions, the minister will retire. ”

Ying Zheng has just appointed me as the crown prince, and Li Si has been in the prince's mansion for a long time, which will inevitably make Ying Zheng think a lot. Thinking of this, I got up and arched my hand and said, "In this case, the prime minister will go and get busy first." ”

Sending Li Si away, I walked to the front hall to deal with the matter after the change of identity.

And just two days later, the Yingyue case finally came to an end, but the wide implication and heavy sentencing of this case really made me see what feudal society is, and I really experienced the horror of the ancient big case!
