The next day, Uncle Sun Tong appeared at the court meeting.

When I sat down, I saw my uncle and grandson, and he gave him a grateful look, and without saying much, I announced the beginning of the court.

I said: "Yesterday, there was no conclusion about the time of the emperor's burial, but after I went back, I thought about it carefully, and I decided to set the date of the emperor's burial in early spring, I don't know what you think?" ”

Feng Quji was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, if it is early spring, the former emperor will be buried, and the minister is afraid that the Lishan Mausoleum will not be completed by then." ”

Li Si echoed: "The minister is also so worried, with the current progress of the project, the construction of the Lishan Mausoleum will not be completed in the early spring. ”

I said with a solemn expression: "What I mean is that the Lishan Mausoleum is also completed in early spring, and the Lishan Mausoleum has been largely completed, and in the early spring, the mausoleum will be capped!" ”

If there are no accidents, a storm is coming!

Sure enough, after Li Si heard my words, his expression suddenly changed, and he didn't care about not conflicting with me, so he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, by all means, Lishan Mausoleum is the mausoleum of the First Emperor of the Great Qin, and it is the root of my Great Qin's eternal foundation...... I'm afraid the subjects will talk! I hope Your Majesty will think twice. ”

Yingzheng is Li Si's god, even if he dies, Li Si can't tolerate anyone disrespecting him!

Immediately afterwards, Taishi Ling Bai Lei also got up and said: "Your Majesty, what Li Xiang said is good, the emperor's burial date should observe the stars and choose an auspicious day, how can he make a hasty decision, and ask His Majesty to withdraw his fate!" ”

I replied: "The reason why I consider this is also to respect the last wishes of the former emperor, the former emperor took me and Li Xiang to the Lishan Mausoleum before his death, and when he saw the people of Lishan, the former emperor once sighed that 'the power of the people will be exhausted'. ”

"I not only hope that the Lishan Mausoleum will be capped in early spring, but also want to stop the construction of the Afang Palace and slow down the construction of the straight road!"

Naturally, Ying Zheng didn't say anything about the people's imminent exhaustion, but when I was in Lishan, I stayed alone with Ying Zheng for a while, and no one knew what Ying Zheng said, and now I have to move out of the name of Ying Zheng to see if I can bluff these people and make things less tricky.

At this time, Shusun Tong stood up.

Yesterday I insisted on appointing Shusun Tong as a doctor, just so that he could play some role in today's discussion of the two major projects to be suspended, and Confucianism has always been dissatisfied with Yingzheng's large-scale construction work, and he will certainly support my decision.

Uncle Sun Tong got up and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers of the Afang Palace think it is feasible to stop repairing the palace, now the Xianyang Palace has been able to meet the needs of the country, and adding another palace will only waste money and food." ”

I didn't have time to feel relieved, but I didn't expect my uncle and grandson to turn around: "But the Lishan Mausoleum was hastily capped, and the minister thought it was inappropriate." The affairs of the emperor are related to the country, and the matter of life and death is the most important. The death of the head of Qianshou still follows the etiquette system, and the emperor's return to heaven should be carried out according to the system, how can he be so hasty. ”

I never expected that Uncle Sun Tong would oppose me in this matter. Knowing this, I should have met with him to discuss it after I retired from the court yesterday, I was really smart but was mistaken by cleverness!

Before I could speak, Yu Shicheng Li Xing got up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is nothing wrong with Your Majesty's intentions. Colleagues, if the emperor is still alive, according to His Majesty, he will also live with the people, and there is nothing wrong with stopping the repair of major projects. ”

In the imperial history, Cheng Zhou folded and said: "The minister seconded the proposal." Nowadays, there are 200,000 people who have built Afang Palace, and the Lishan Mausoleum has reached an astonishing 400,000 people. Although the previous Yingyue case was the work of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, it always exposed the problem of insufficient people's power. His Majesty's intention is not only to conform to the people's feelings, but also to inherit the last wishes of the emperor, and the ministers think it is feasible. ”

I looked at the two of them, both of them were subordinate officials of the Imperial Historian Feng Zai, and it was a little intriguing that they collectively stood up.

Then everyone said a word, and the Xianyang Hall was very lively, and the number of people who supported and opposed it was about the same, but the people who opposed it were led by Li Si, and the voice was obviously louder.

Listening to the loud voices in the hall, I waved my hand, and Qi Wan immediately said loudly: "Silence! ”

The hall fell silent.

I looked at everyone and slowly spoke: "I want to ask the princes in the palace, if you have to make a choice, which is more important, Great Qin Sheji and Great Qin Emperor?" ”

Everyone said in unison: "Sheji Sect Temple is important!" ”

I got up and stepped forward, and suddenly said angrily: "Since the community is important, do you know how the society is today?" ”

Without waiting for everyone to reply, I continued: "Li Si, as the left prime minister of Great Qin, and the commander of Jiuqing, don't you have an understanding of the current national conditions and people's feelings of Great Qin?" 200,000 people were requisitioned for the construction of the Afang Palace, 400,000 people were requisitioned for the construction of the Lishan Mausoleum, and 400,000 people were requisitioned for the construction of the Great Wall, the Straight Road, and the Chi Road, not to mention the other water conservancy and palace rooms that are still being built, as well as the people who provide money and food for these people. Roughly calculated, nearly 2 million of the 32 million people in Daqin are tired of labor! It accounts for six hundredths of my Great Qin's population! ”

"Ladies in the palace, you stay in Xianyang all day long, eat well and dress warmly, but what about the people in the world? Several heavy snowfalls at the beginning of the year, how many people starved to death and froze to death in several northern counties in Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Yunzhong, do you know? With the current situation of hard labor, within a few years, the world will be full of complaints, and even rise up! At that time, Bai Lei, can you use the observation of the stars to keep the people fed and clothed? Shusun Tong, can you use the etiquette system to quell the rebellion in the world? ”

"The first emperor unified the world and the four seas into one, was it for pleasure? It's for the stability of the world! The people have their place to live, their food to eat, and their clothes to wear, so that our Great Qin Society will live forever and be safe forever! ”

"Today, I clearly tell you that not only the Afang Palace, Lishan Mausoleum, and Straight Road, but also all other projects that cannot benefit the people of the world must be interrupted, and all conscription that is not related to the survival of the society must be stopped!"

After saying these words, I was also a little excited, what the people needed was really simple, not to be starved to death, not to be frozen to death, their demands were nothing more than that.

After listening to my words, the temple was silent for a long time.

Li Si got up slowly, his eyes were slightly red, and he said: "Your Majesty is wise, but the minister is confused for a while, and he can't understand His Majesty's good intentions. At that time, the emperor often warned his ministers that the unification of Great Qin was only for the people of the world not to be displaced and suffer from the pain of war. For example, it has been peaceful for a long time today, and the minister has slacked off. I am willing to obey the emperor's will and obey His Majesty's wishes! ”

Feng Quji opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty is wise, Great Qin Wannian!" ”

Everyone said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise, Great Qin Wannian!" ”

Subsequently, I will investigate the construction in progress and the situation of labor labor, and formulate a new decree on forced labor in the "Qin Law" to Li Si and Feng Zheng.

I had long expected that this matter would not be smooth sailing, but I had to do it, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang didn't know where to wait for the unveiling! The reduction of labor will always kill the cradle of the uprising for a while.

However, Ying Zheng's death made those heroes or Xiaoxiao who were hiding in the shadows want to move!
