Qin Shihuang's face was calm and he sat upright on the dragon throne without anger. He looked at the minister below who seemed to be beating a white-bearded old man, but didn't know what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, what Feng Xiang said is reasonable, and punishment is not guilty. The law is smooth, only the reason and punishment are afraid of. Only with the rule, reason and punishment can orders be imposed. The man in the palace, I dare not agree, nor dare to issue orders. Please think twice before you act!" Li Si, the leader of all officials, was silent for a long time and rarely opposed the post of the right prime minister Feng Quji.

Although Li Si practiced the Legalist philosophy, he was born Confucianism. Although his actions were different from the Confucianism's philosophy of governing the country that advocated education, benevolent politics, and light taxes and low taxes, he was still deeply influenced by Confucianism and was very cautious about such extreme punishments. Therefore, among all the laws promoted by Li Si, there were few serious crimes of murder.

The first record originated in the Shang Dynasty, and by the Zhou Dynasty, the castration was the castration, which was the punishment of a man's balls or words (sorry, an informal name, because it was not allowed to be written). The first record originated in the Shang Dynasty. In the Zhou Dynasty, the castration was already recorded in detail. The main targets were criminals with great crimes, and sometimes castration was used instead of Da Pi (that is, beheading). It can be seen that castration was a kind of extreme punishment similar to beheading.

In fact, the oldest punishment is actually much more cruel and bloody than the later castration. From the word "正", we can see that it is not about cutting off the eggs and small numbers with a knife, but smashing them hard with a wooden stick.

To think about that scene, several people pulled the limbs of the tortured person apart and pressed them on a big stone, and then a big man held a wooden stick and smashed them hard into his crotch... The sourness of flesh and blood was so good that the old customers didn't dare to think about it.

Because the punishment of slaughter is too bloody and the death is very high, by the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the punishment of slaughter had become a very formal castration. It was made with a knife and kept warm in a warm room, which was called the silkworm room.

Today's Great Qin naturally has castrations, but it is definitely not targeting the eunuchs in the inner court of the palace, but it is just a punishment. However, at this time, it was used by Gao Taipu as a means to stabilize the royal palace. Now the theories of all schools of thought are very mature, and there are all Confucian disciples representing the outstanding academic studies in the court, so naturally they would not agree with the old man's simply absurd proposal.

Now seeing that both prime ministers rejected the old man's suggestion, almost everyone in the court breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and then looked at the emperor on the dragon throne together.

"What Gao Taipu said is indeed inappropriate. It is a culprit. I cannot give up. At this time, I will give up!" Qin Shihuang nodded with an extremely calm expression.

"Your Majesty, I impeach the Taifu Gao Ji (què, firm) old and stupid, and it is no longer useful. I suggest that I cancel the position of Taifu!" Although the emperor has made it clear that he will not adopt Gao Taifu's opinion, his words have caused great shock and anger. Meng Yi, the censor who has never spoken from the beginning to the end, suddenly stood up and said.

"I'm waiting for the advice~" The doctors who just jumped forward almost at the same time.

Doctors and counselors have no real power or fixed positions. They mainly participate in politics and discuss politics, providing reference for the strategies of governing the country for the emperor and ministers. Today, Jiang Heng, the CRRC Mansion, used to be a Taizhong doctor, but these doctors cannot be underestimated. Each one is a famous figure in the school of outstanding academic schools. If these people do not give them official positions, they will jump all over the people and teach apprentices and give speeches everywhere. Therefore, Qin Shihuang also created some famous officials to join the court as officials to participate in the court's political discussions. Although what they said is not generally adopted very much, they cannot be completely ignored.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Confucianism was the largest school. Confucius' three thousand disciples and seventy-two sages wandered around the land of China to preach everywhere. In addition to Mencius and Xunzi, theories were constantly promoted. Over the past few hundred years, Confucianism is now the largest sect in the world. In addition to the Mohist school, all the Taoist and law were influenced by it. Han Feizi once said: Confucianism used literature to disrupt law, and chivalrous and martial arts to violate the ban, which was directly targeted the two largest sects of Confucianism and Mohism. The reason was that these two schools were so large that they could not be controlled by laws and regulations, and could only forcefully demand the King of Qin to order suppression.

As we all know, Confucianism is very famous for cultivating disciples, respecting Zhou rituals, learning rituals, music, archery, imperialism, and books. It also requires tuition fees for students to collect disciples, so it is specialized in dealing with kings, princes and nobles, and taking the upper-level elite route.

The Mohist family originated from poor peasants, taking the bottom line and developing specifically among the people. The concept is that everyone is equal and everyone can be regarded as kings, princes, generals and ministers. They ran around to liberate the working people, and thus received support from a large number of lower-level peasants.

Under the squeeze of these two schools, Han Feizi felt that he had ambition to rule the country by law but could not be carried out. Therefore, after this statement was said, Qin Shihuang began to suppress the Mohist school, and the Mohist school quickly disappeared, but Confucianism could not deal with the same way as the Mohist school, because this school did not rebel or promote rebellion, and did not pay attention to the equality of everyone. Confucianism advocated the style of gentlemen, and especially paid attention to the hierarchy concept of superiority and inferiority and daily behavior etiquette, which was very consistent with the taste of the nobles. The only disadvantage was that it required moral governance and benevolent government. He talked about it all day long and could not be beaten or killed. Qin Shihuang could only let it go, and from time to time he had to comfort Xuan and enter the palace to listen to their theories.

At this time, several officials in the court who advocated Confucianism all spoke out to ask Gao Ji, the servant Gao Ji, and the official censor Meng Yi was the first to come forward. Suddenly, almost half of the ministers stood up and demanded to take the position of Gao Ji, the servant Gao Ji.

Qin Shihuang put his eyes on Li Si who was silent. Seeing that Li Si had no movement, he nodded and said, "Gao Taipu's words today are indeed too shocking. The Jiang Mansion Order drafted an order to dismiss the position of Taipu and the replacement of a son or grandson of Gao's family. This matter will be handled by Li Xiang!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Jiang Heng and Li Si bowed and saluted at the same time.

After the snow-white eyebrows and beard of the Taifu Gao Ji shook for a while, his old face showed a decadent look, and his trembling limbs lay on the ground and snatched the ground with his head, saying, "I thank Your Majesty for forgiveness!"

Qin Shihuang showed a touch on his face and said, "Gao Taipu worked hard for the country for decades, and has never made any mistakes. If he is old this year, he is in a weak state, please feel free and give him 10,000 gold to return home to cultivate. Go!"

"Your Majesty is benevolence and righteousness!" Several doctors achieved their goal, and bowed and bowed in joy.

A farce that almost overturned the court ended. One of the nine ministers' servants was dismissed from office. Seeing the trembling Gao Bei being supported by several commissars, all the ministers were silent.

"Are you good friends or not?" Qin Shihuang did not rush to leave the court this time, but sat upright on the dragon throne and looked down at the court again.

"Your Majesty, I have a report!" A middle-aged minister stood up with a tablet in his hand.

"Come on!"

"The Taipu Office is responsible for the travel of Your Majesty and the inner palace. His position is indispensable for a day. You also ask Your Majesty to re-appoint the Taipu position, otherwise it may cause chaos!"

"I am following the proposal!" The young mansion ordered Chang Du to stand up, "The Grandpa is one of the nine ministers, and it is indispensable for a day. Please make a decision early!"

"Please make a decision early!" A bunch of ministers stood up and agreed.

"Can the two prime ministers have suitable candidates?" Qin Shihuang turned his eyes on Li Si and Feng Quji.

Feng Quji lowered his head and thought, while Li Si grabbed a handful of beautiful beard and shook his face slightly, and countless mmp appeared on his head.

The old man Gao Ji didn't know what kind of horn wind was like today, and suddenly made such an incredible suggestion. Now, he lost the official. Although Gao Ji didn't like Li Si very much on weekdays, he was diligent and serious in his work. The palace was arranged in an orderly manner and never made any mistakes. Therefore, Li Si was relieved of a lot of worries. But now he suddenly went to find someone who was reliable to replace him. He should be mature and persistent, be serious, work hard, and be obedient...

Li Si filtered all the ministers and ministers in his mind, and the court was peaceful.

"Your Majesty, the left central general Shen Gongyan is the Grand Master!" After a while, the right prime minister Feng Quji broke the silence.

Lang is an alternate official, all of whom are descendants of ministers and officials or recommended outstanding talents. They are affiliated with the Langzhong Ling and have no real power. The Zhonglang and the Shilang usually accompany the emperor to travel at the same time. The Zhonglang's leader is the left and right Zhonglang general and the Wushi Zhonglang general. The official rank is one thousand stones, and the second only to the Langzhong Ling.

"Shen Gongyan was a senior and polite, and served as the Left Central Army General in the official residence for several years, and followed His Majesty's carriage and horses every day. He was indeed the best candidate for the Taifu, and the old minister agreed!" The doctor ordered Yang Tong to stand up and add some strength to his subordinates. This kind of good thing is that he does not flow into the fields of outsiders. Once Shen Gongyan becomes the Taifu, his level will become the same nine ministers as the doctor. In the future, it will be more convenient for the two governments to communicate, and they can advance and retreat together in many things.

"I recommend Zhao Gao, the former CRRC Mansion Commander!" Li Si immediately made up his mind and recommended another person.

"Well, Zhao Gao seems to be more suitable, and he has held this position before, so he should be more comfortable in handling it!"

"It's reasonable! Zhao Gao is indeed the best candidate."

"Address! Zhao Gao has been at home after being assassinated last time. I heard that he has recovered and it is appropriate to grant this position!"

The group of ministers who were close to Li Si immediately stood up and agreed, and then there were vague noises in the court again.

Dingshen Gongyan, who supported Feng Quji, and Dingshen Gao, who supported Li Si.

Qin Shihuang pondered for a moment and nodded: "I am very satisfied with the people recommended by the Prime Minister. They are indeed the best candidates for the position of Taifu. However, Zhao Gao had served as Taifu before he was appointed as the CSRC. Since he is now healthy, let him be the Taifu first. The Jiangfu Order will draw an order to inform Zhao Gao's mansion. The court will announce that Zhao Gao will enter the court tomorrow morning and listen to the ban and disperse the court~"

After Qin Shihuang finished speaking, he waved his sleeves into the back hall.

Half an hour later, a escort left the palace and came to Zhao Gao's mansion with the emperor's order to announce the new appointment.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

After sending away the evangelist who announced the edict, Zhao Gao, who had half of his ears, held the edict and laughed at the sky with a twisted face: "Jiang Heng, you occupy the position of me. I have to endure it under the last time. When I free up my hands, I must take down all your Jiang clan. There are also all the officials of Wancheng, all of them will crush you to death one by one. Zhe'er, you will hurt your anger and your father will definitely help you clean..."

Zhao Zhe, who had been standing next to him, had a pale face, and a vicious look in his eyes: "Dad, I just want to kill Chen Xu, so you can send a few martial soldiers to catch him. I want to cut off his limbs, pluck out the kidney pills, and throw them into the snake, insect and ant hole to bite to death..."

"I'm afraid a few martial soldiers can't deal with him, but don't worry, he will definitely die. He will kill me Zhao Gao's son. I will not relieve my hatred even if he dies a hundred times. What's more, as you said, the person who assassinated me in the street may be his black-clothed entourage, who is also the one who hurts you. Haha, I'll throw away the position of the CEI's Mansion Order. I have such a deep hatred for me, Zhao, and I will be a small Li Dian. I will definitely cut off his cramps, skin, and bones and ashes!"

After saying it, Zhao Gao gritted his teeth and patted his son on the shoulder, "I have tried my best to spend a huge price to make the change in the court today. Although Qi Dang and Gao Ji's remarks in the court seem to have calmed down, they didn't know what Your Majesty is thinking. The mixture of men and women in the harem made him feel disgusted. In a few days, my father will enter the palace to give you a good position. Maybe the entire palace courtyard will fall into your control in the future. By then, no one in the court will dare to underestimate you."

"Dad, don't worry, Zhe'er will never be reckless again this time!"

"Okay, this is my Zhao family. What about the eunuch? Eunuchs can dominate the world! The future is unknown, hehe..."

Both father and son showed a ferocious look on their faces.
