Chapter 11: Honoring the Chancellor
Ying Zheng was really shocked by Li Yang's view on the law, and the more he listened, the more he felt it became more intriguing.
Can the law be used to punish the chaotic people and make the people abide by the law? Before this, no one seemed to have seriously considered this issue.
Because since Shang Yang started, everyone in the court thought that as long as they use the important laws, people in the world would not dare to go beyond the line and become a good law-abiding citizen under the heavy laws.
However, the reality is not that.
On the contrary, under the heavy punishment of the Qin Dynasty, the people were chaotic, and the world complained about the Qin Dynasty's laws and scolded them as violent laws. It can be seen that people in the world do not want to abide by the Qin laws, but instead regard the Qin laws as enemies.
Why is this happening?
Today, Li Yang used all the officials in the court as an example, which made Ying Zheng finally know the answer, which was because of Qin Lu's method of continuation.
Because of the law of continuation, abiding by the law does not mean that you can keep peace. What is the meaning of abiding by the law like this? How can people in the world abide by the law?
Just as Ying Zheng was thinking about business and digesting this theory, Li Yang continued: "I have something to ask Your Majesty."
"Sir, I have something to say, but it's okay to say it!"
Ying Zheng looked at Li Yang curiously.
Li Yang nodded and said, "I want to ask Your Majesty, if the laws of Qin can only play the role of punishing the chaotic people, then will your Majesty kill you? A thousand chaotic people, will your Majesty kill you? A thousand chaotic people, will your Majesty kill you? A thousand chaotic people, will your Majesty kill you? All the people in the world are chaotic people, will your Majesty still kill you?"
When Ying Zheng heard this, he narrowed his eyes.
One thousand can kill, and ten thousand can kill, but killing all the people in the world is equivalent to destroying the country.
There is no one in the world, so what's the use of being this emperor? So Li Yang's question is very heartbroken.
Ying Zheng's face looked a little bad, and he said calmly: "Sir, are you talking about whether I, the Qin Dynasty, will it be destroyed?"
Ying Zheng's unhappiness made Li Yang feel nervous and said quickly: "The Great Qin Dynasty will never perish for thousands of years. I just want to say that if the law cannot achieve the goal of making the people abide by the law, no matter how strict the Qin law is, it is meaningless, it is just killing more people. But has Your Majesty ever thought that if the Qin law can make the people in the world abide by the law, and even love the law and protect the law, the world will be law-abiding people. In this way, why worry about the Qin Dynasty's failure to prosper, and why worry about the Qin Dynasty's failure to last for thousands of years?"
Ying Zheng was able to sweep the six countries, complete the unification, implement the same writing, the same track, and the unification of weights and measures systems, which is enough to show that he is actually a very wise king.
So, he naturally understood what Li Yang meant at first.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but lit up his eyes. If everyone in the world could really abide by the law, love the law, and protect the law, the Qin Dynasty would be truly eternal.
At that moment, he couldn't help but look at Li Yang deeply. This person... is really a very human!
Li Yang's analysis and insights on the law not only made Ying Zheng look forward to his eyes, but also saw the essence of the rule of law, but also shocked the civil and military ministers in the palace.
Li Yang had such an understanding of the law and such a unique view, which really surprised the ministers in the palace.
If you do not have high attainments in the law, it is impossible to analyze the law thoroughly.
Although everyone knows in his heart that Li Yang cannot be a disciple of a god, to be honest, I have to admire his unique insights into the law.
After Ying Zheng completely digested Li Yang's words, he looked at Li Yang and said, "Sir, teach me, let the people in the world abide by the law, love the law, protect the law, what should Qin's law be done?"
“It should be fair!”
Li Yang stretched out his two fingers and said frankly: "First, Qin's law should be fair, protecting the people who abide by the law, punishing those who violate the law, and punishing those who violate the law, and punishing them with minor crimes. Second, law enforcement should be fair, from princes and nobles to ordinary people, violations of the law must be punished and treated equally! In this way, Qin's law will be deeply loved by the people, and Qin's law must remain majestic!"
"What a man who wins the hearts of the people, what a man who remains majestic!"
"Sir, I will ask you to do this for the reform of the laws of the Qin Dynasty!"
Ying Zheng laughed loudly, then suddenly stood up and waved his hand: "Zhao Gao, draw an order!"
"Mr. Li Yang, who was awarded the medicine for his merits, was named Marquis of Yang and was hereditary to Dongyang County!"
"Huangdi appointed six prime ministers, Yao had sixteen prime ministers, Yin Tang had left and right prime ministers. Qin was unified and ruled by the nine provinces, so how could it be ranked among Yin Tang? Now the Zhongcheng was added, and the three prime ministers on the left and right were the same as the ten thousand things!"
"Yang Hou is proficient in the knowledge of hundreds of schools and has the ability to govern the world. Now he is appointed as the Prime Minister, and is given a golden seal and purple ribbon. He is the assistant of the emperor of the Prime Minister and the emperor, and the mansion will be opened today!"
"The above will tell the world!"
Suddenly, three decrees were issued in a row, one was granted a marquis, one was appointed as a prime minister, and one was appointed as a prime minister. All three decrees were for one person, and this person was Li Yang.
Today, Li Yang's name must be a shock to the world!
Li Yang naturally did not expect Ying Zheng to give him such high treatment. For him, he made an exception and added the position of Prime Minister. How many people in the world have such kindness?
"I, thank you Your Majesty!"
Li Yang bowed deeply, and tears filled his eyes with emotion.
The reason why he was so frivolous and arrogant in the hall today and even talked about the drawbacks of the Qin Dynasty's laws was actually to see if the violent and unruly Emperor of the First Emperor recorded in history was really a natural tyrant, or was he like the kings of the pre-Qin period, who worked hard to govern and reform and strengthen the country.
And now, the answer is undoubtedly...
People in the world say that the First Emperor is violent and unjust?
But who would know that the reason why the First Emperor continued to use the method of war was Shang Yang's method. He was extremely powerful in Qin State, and no one dared to deny its value and role.
Especially since the implementation of the law is still short, no one can understand the essence of the law like Li Yang in later generations.
Of course, if Li Yang was born in this era, he might have blindly believed that the law was strict, so that he could shock the people and abide by the law, so he constantly improved the wartime law, making the terms of the violent law more numerous.
Qin Rule is more powerful than tigers. This mistake is recorded on the head of Qin Emperor alone, which is really too unfair to him!
"All the ministers return to their posts, Your Majesty will teach you!"
At this moment, Master Zhao held the tray and stood beside Ying Zheng, shouting loudly. A gold seal and a purple ribbon were placed on the tray.
Suddenly, all civil and military officials came out and gathered in the center of the hall.
Li Yang was intentionally given up by everyone.
Ying Zhenggao stood in the hall, scanned the ministers, took the golden seal and purple ribbon from Zhao Gao, and said in a powerful tone:
"I know how to use the government and the country!"
"Now I am appointed as Li Yang, and I will be the Prime Minister of the Central Committee. I will be awarded a golden seal and a purple ribbon. I will be in charge of the law and promote legal reforms!"
"Anyone who violates our Qin law reform, regardless of the family, will be punished according to the law!"
Li Yang hurried forward, climbed the jade steps, and took the pallet with the gold seal and purple ribbon from Ying Zheng.
Holding the tray in his hand and looking at the golden seal and purple ribbon, Li Yang felt an unprecedented excitement and excitement.
He suddenly felt that this sect weighed ten thousand pounds.
Before, he made up lies and said big talk, and all means were to win Ying Zheng's reuse.
At this moment, he was really moved by Ying Zheng, and a warm feeling in his heart.
After six months of coming to this strange world, Li Yang was actually very lonely inside.
This place is a strange place. Looking up, I can’t see a relative. I travel alone every day, living alone in a group, and accompanying the shadows.
Under the torture of hard labor and in his longing for his relatives, he cried silently on the deserted night countless times, and was even so desperate that he had the idea of committing suicide.
For him, this is a world that is out of place with him.
He is just a person, lonely and helpless.
But today, his lonely and sad heart felt warmth from Ying Zheng.
This is no longer just a phase, no longer just a gold seal, but a trust, a trust, and a huge responsibility!
At this moment, Li Yang felt a stream of passion rushing all over his body, and a passionate passion that he had never had before appeared naturally.
He knew that the trust that Ying Zheng gave was enough to show his ambitions. This trust was even more related to the country and country of Qin, and the good fortune and misfortune of the people of the world. The heavy responsibility was so heavy that his life was incomparable!
After taking a few steps back and turning around, Li Yang's eyes were red, and he pulled the tray in one fell swoop, shouting with great excitement: "Qin law reform, the whole country is united! The country is rich and the people are strong, and it will last forever!"
Suddenly, the ministers in the court shouted together.
Chapter completed!
