Not long after, someone brought Zhang Liang in, and he was also shackled and fixed on the chair.

I looked at Zhang Liang carefully, Zhang Liang is only 29 years old now, and Bo Langsha was only 21 years old when he assassinated Ying Zheng, quite the demeanor of the young Zhuge Liang in film and television dramas, but he also suffered a lot of torture, and he was so weak that he couldn't sit still.

Zhang Liang saw me staring at him, and saw Xingzhong standing beside him, with a smile on his face, and said to Xingzhong: "Meet again, if it weren't for you, Yingzheng would have died a long time ago." ”

During the sentence, his face was expressionless.

Although he had never seen Zhang Liang during the sentence, he saved Yingzheng and Zhang Liang hid in the shadows, so he must have been extremely impressed.

Seeing that there was no reply during the execution, Zhang Liang turned his head to look at me again, looked up and down, and said, "Presumably this is the Second Emperor, right?" ”

I nodded: "I was able to plot to assassinate the emperor at the age of 21, and I was really witty." ”

There was still a faint smile on the corner of Zhang Liang's mouth: "I heard that the Second Emperor is only 15 years old this year, he must have seen Xiang Yu, he can have such courage, and the Second Emperor should not be underestimated." ”

I didn't answer, but instead asked, "Are you hungry?" ”

Zhang Liang responded: "What is good eats, and the thoughts of anti-Qin, the emperor does not have to worry." ”

I waved my hand and said to the middle of the sentence: "Prepare two meals, and I will eat with Zhang Liang." ”

During the execution, he went out to prepare, and soon returned with food.

I ordered Zhang Liang's torture equipment to be removed and two tables to sit opposite each other.

Zhang Liang looked at me and asked, "The emperor is not afraid that the emperor will hurt the emperor by the storm?" ”

I smiled and said, "I heard that you are very strategic and have no last resort, so I guess you will not do such a thing that has no chance of winning." Besides, if I cherish my life so much, I won't come to see you and Xiang Yu today. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Liang arched his hand and began to eat unceremoniously.

I looked at Zhang Liang and asked, "Why did you assassinate the emperor?" ”

Zhang Liang didn't look up: "The tyrannical Qin has no way, all because of the tyranny of the tyrannical Qin Emperor, and everyone will be punished." ”

I shook my head: "No, you are for your homeland, for your aristocratic status, if it is your Korea today, and you Zhang Liang is the third duke, will you still assassinate the Korean emperor?" ”

Zhang Liang looked up at me and said angrily: "If I unify the world in Korea, I will definitely not make the people in the world resentful like the Qin State. If my Korean monarch were so tyrannical, Liang would not have seen the people living in fire and water, and would have risked his life to admonish him. ”

"You said that South Korea will not be the same as my Daqin, so why hasn't South Korea been able to unify the world?"

Zhang Liang was stunned.

Although South Korea is small, it has the name of "Jin Han", although it has not been able to achieve a thorough reform like Qin in several reforms, but it still injected a lot of fresh blood into South Korea, but South Korea is still the first country among the six countries to be destroyed.

Zhang Liang said: "The monarch is dim, and it is not enough to achieve great things. ”

I smiled: "Then how can you guarantee that the king of Korea or the other five countries will not remain deaf after the unification of the world?" The reason why the Six Kingdoms perished, isn't it because they are inferior to my Great Qin? If it is replaced by the king of the six kingdoms to govern the world, it may not be as strong as Qin Guoqiang, right? ”

"I once heard such a sentence: 'Those who destroy the Six Kingdoms will also be the Six Kingdoms, not Qin.'" If each of the six countries loves its own people, it is enough to base Qin', I don't know what you think of this sentence? ”

Zhang Liang pondered: "What does the emperor mean is that it is precisely because the Six Kingdoms do not cherish their own people that they will perish? ”

I nodded: "If the kings of the Six Kingdoms really treat their own people better than the Qin State as you said, how can a country that is loved by the people be easily attacked?" You know, it took less than ten years for the Six Nations to fall. ”

Zhang Liang retorted: "The Six Kingdoms may not have been so benevolent to the people before they perished, but compared with the harsh government that Qin treated the people after the unification of the world, isn't it that the Qin government is more tyrannical? Can the emperor hear that 'harsh government is fiercer than a tiger'? ”

"There's some truth to what you're saying." I spoke: "However, since the Great Qin unified the world, there has been a lot of waste waiting to be rebuilt, and the current legal system of Great Qin can be said to be unprecedented, and there must be some unreasonable laws and regulations. ”

"But do you think that Daqin's implementation of the county system, unified weights and measures, and other measures is good or bad for the people of the world? I still say the same thing, maybe some laws and regulations are too strict, but compared with the legal system of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and even the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, isn't the Qin Law more suitable for the unification of the world? ”

Zhang Liang was thoughtful.

Seeing Zhang Liang's expression, I continued: "Besides, now that I have started to reduce forced labor and revise the Qin Law, the upcoming decree will stop the construction of the Afang Palace, the straight road and other palaces, and the Lishan Mausoleum will also be capped in early spring, so I will carefully discuss the unreasonable decree and make changes as soon as possible. ”

"I am willing to give you a chance to stay by my side, to give advice to me, no, to the people of the world, so that the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment. If one day you think I can't do it, you can go at any time, and I won't stop you. ”

Zhang Liang looked up at me and asked in disbelief, "The emperor will really cut the conscription?" I once assassinated the First Emperor, will you feel free to let me follow you? ”

I smiled and said, "If you have any doubts, you can stay with me for a while, and we will see with practical actions." ”

"However, because your identity is too sensitive, I can't give you an official position, so I can only let you follow me as a minor official of the confessor."

"In addition, I will erase the assassination of the former emperor for you, and claim that Xiang Yu planned it by impersonating your identity. I give you a day to think about it, and if you decide to follow me, just tell Meng Yi. ”

If you decide to resist to the end...... Such a man of great scheming must not be left behind. With Zhang Liang's ingenuity, there is no need to speak too thoroughly.

Seeing that Zhang Liang was thinking, I got up and said: "I have already said what I should say, and I have also explained to you what I shouldn't say, I hope you can consider the people of the world, of course, if you oppose Qin, it is really for the people of the world." ”

Zhang Liang said, "Let me think about it." ”

Seeing that I was leaving, he asked again, "What does the emperor plan to do with Xiang Yu?" ”

I turned and walked out the door: "The puppet is not enough. ”

————

Early the next morning, Meng Yi took Zhang Liang to the Temple of the Four Seas, and I asked him to settle him in the prison and went to the court.

At the court meeting, I announced to everyone the decision to deal with Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu: Xiang Yu will be beheaded, and Zhang Liang will be retained.

There was another quarrel over Zhang Liang's retention, although I asked Xiang Yu to take the black pot of assassinating Yingzheng and Huiji rebellion for Zhang Liang, but there were still many people who had doubts, but seeing my resolute attitude, everyone had to give up.

After so many days of discussions, the court meeting finally decided on the details of the reduction of forced labor: the repair of the Afang Palace was suspended, the construction of the straight road was slowed down, and the Lishan Mausoleum was topped out in early spring......

At the same time, the law on conscription was greatly revised, which greatly reduced the burden of conscription on the people, and Daqin finally began to get on the right track.

I only hope to be able to stabilize the rebel army that is about to break out, and it is time to deal with these leaders of the late Qin uprising.
