Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 402

"Father, it's fine if you don't smoke, why are you beating people?"

Zhao Kun covered his face and looked at Ying Zheng with aggrieved eyes.

Ying Zheng glared at him and scolded angrily: "Look at you just now, how do you look like a prince? What else do I expect from you! What else does my Great Qin expect from you?!"

"Isn't it just smoking a cigarette in private, not in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty?" Zhao Kun muttered.

"You still want to smoke in front of the civil and military courts?"

Ying Zheng's expression darkened, and he was about to hit Zhao Kun again. Fu Su quickly took his hand and persuaded him, "Father, don't blame Brother Kun, he is still young!"

"Humph!"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly, and said, "He's almost married, isn't he still young? I think he's itchy!"

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head to look at Fu Su, and said in a soft and long voice: "Fu Su, as the eldest brother, you can't always spoil him. From now on, Father will still expect you to discipline him well."

"Father."

Fusu looked at Yingzheng Wei'an's figure, two lines of tears unexpectedly left in his eyes.

Zhao Kun on the side raised his hand to his forehead, and sighed secretly: "It's over, my big brother is about to be recruited."

But Ying Zheng gently lifted Fusu up on the ground, wiped his tears lovingly, and sighed: "Among all the princes, you look the most like your father, but unfortunately, you are still too lenient." , I can only wrong you!"

"Father, I have no grievances, I only wish my father well!" Fu Su choked with sobs and shook his head.

Ying Zheng stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "He is really my good son..."

"Father, I blame my son for what happened before. It's because my son didn't control his emotions well, that's why he said those outrageous things!"

"Father knows that Father did something wrong, I hope you don't blame Father..."

"Father—"

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Fusu's tears flowed down, and all the previous grievances disappeared at this moment.

Recalling the past, Fusu remembered a lot.

The old father in front of him has gray temples since he was in his 30s, which shows his hard work over the years.

More than ten years ago, the territory of Qin State expanded to the whole world, and the country became bigger accordingly.

The father changed from the king of a country to the ruler of the world, an unprecedented emperor.

The significance of this change was beyond the knowledge of all the courtiers. For the first time, they felt the sacredness and greatness of imperial power.

For Fusu, the expansion of the country will not bring real happiness to the king, but will only accelerate the deprivation of their lives, and will only make the family more distant.

Fusu and Yingzheng haven't spent much time together, but judging from the perception of family affection, his father may really die soon.

In Yingzheng's life, he did not set up a queen, nor did he set up a queen. All the princes, including Fusu, had only biological mothers and no national mothers.

It was really difficult for him to understand his son.Because he didn't establish a heir, he didn't establish a heir, and he didn't use the royal family, so he was truly a loner.

Since ancient times, the only one who can do what he does is himself.

"Father, I have failed your expectations. I don't want anything. I just want to stay by your side and serve you well!"

"You want to travel to the court, and my minister will control the horse for you. You have to review the memorial, and I will recite the laws of Qin by heart. I will remind you that I will not go anywhere!"

While crying, Fusu grabbed Ying Zheng's sleeve, thinking that Ying Zheng was going to exile him.

But Ying Zheng didn't answer his words, reached out and touched his head, then looked at Zhao Kun, and said with infinite emotion: "Father is old, I'm afraid he won't live long, your brother Kun is still young, and you don't have any You're right, father is worried about my Daqin's future!"

"Father, you will be fine, Brother Kun has the elixir, he will save you!"

Fusu hugged Yingzheng in tears.

Ying Zheng shook his head and sighed: "Father has begged for the fairy medicine all his life, but he never thought that it would be in the hands of his son. It really changed his life like this. If it was earlier, the fairy medicine might be useful, but unfortunately, it is still too late."

"Father—"

"Okay, let's not talk about it, father is really tired!"

Yingzheng supported Su, and said earnestly: "In the future, Daqin's burden will be borne by you, father and emperor."

"Ok?"

Fusu froze for a moment, then looked at Yingzheng suspiciously.

Ying Zheng nodded with a warm smile, and then said solemnly: "Father intends to make Zhao Kun the crown prince, but he is still young, and my father is afraid that he will make mistakes, so I want to make you the King of Qin, for him and for my father." Emperor, guard this Qin country."

what? !

Father wants to make me King Qin? !

Doesn't he know what King Qin represents?

And isn't the father not advocating enfeoffment?How did you make an exception for me?
"Father, what did you say?" Fusu looked at Ying Zheng in shock, and couldn't believe his ears.

But seeing Ying Zheng chuckled, Lao Huai said with relief: "You have been the eldest son of the Qin Dynasty for more than 30 years, and you should stand alone. This country needs you!"

"But……"

Fusu still hesitated.

Zhao Kun on the side couldn't stand it anymore, hurried forward, and said to Fusu: "Brother, you can just listen to the father, the father asked you to supervise the country, and he wanted to recuperate well, you can't let the father continue Are you dragging the sick to govern the country?"

As soon as these words came out, Fu Sudun felt terrified, and hurriedly saluted Ying Zheng: "I dare not!"

"It's okay!"

Ying Zheng waved his hands indifferently, and then said to Fusu and Zhao Kun, "In the future, the world of Daqin will depend on you two brothers. Don't let the emperor down!"

"Father, don't worry, my son will never let you down!"

Fusu and Zhao Kun looked at each other, and Qi Qi handed over to Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng smiled and nodded slightly, then looked up at the sky, waved his sleeves and said, "It's getting late, let's go back!"

"it is good!"

Fusu and Zhao Kun responded, and then returned to the barracks with Yingzheng, talking and laughing.

Although Fusu still has some doubts about Ying Zheng's decision, as long as he is not exiled by Ying Zheng, he will be very happy.

As for competing with Zhao Kun for the throne, he never thought about it.

Even when Ying Zheng bestowed him the noblest prince in Daqin, he felt that Ying Zheng loved him dearly.

After all, this is the greatest affirmation for him.

The eldest son of the Great Qin Dynasty, the crown prince in name, if he was exiled in the end, it would be more uncomfortable than death.

The current result is the best result for Fusu.

Of course, for Zhao Kun and Ying Zheng, it was also the result they expected.

…………

In the early morning of the second day, Zhao Kun summoned all civil servants and generals to gather in the main tent of the Chinese army.

At this time, Zhao Kun was sitting on the side, everyone looked puzzled, but did not ask why.

After a while, Chen Ping took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, some time ago you asked a certain Qin law to be sorted out, and some of them were too cruel. The minister and the ovary have already made a decision!"

"Oh?" Zhao Kun suddenly became interested, and asked, "Let's hear it?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, there are more than 200 kinds of criminal offenses in Daqin, most of which can be applied, but some inhuman ones can be abolished, such as book crimes!"

"What is the crime of writing?"

Chen Ping: "It means that the common people are treated unfairly and are not allowed to expose the evil deeds of corrupt officials. Under this criminal law, the common people can only be oppressed. I feel that it must be abolished!"

"If you are oppressed, you can write an anonymous letter!"

Zhao Kun nodded and continued to ask: "Is there any more?"

"Also, for example, the crime of suing an official, Qin law stipulates that even if the suing official wins, he himself is guilty, which is unreasonable. I was oppressed by corrupt officials, and I was forced to sue officials. That's what I deserve, and I suffer instead, isn't that unreasonable?"

"That's why I feel that this crime should be abolished!"

"Chen Duwei's words are justified!"

Zhao Kun nodded slightly, then looked at Fusu: "Brother, what do you think?"

"I also think this crime should be abolished!"

Fusu nodded, and said solemnly: "Governing the country is like water control. Only when there is a problem, can you see the disadvantages. Water control is more about blocking than dredging. If the people have grievances and cannot appeal, it will be like a flood." It's out of control!"

"well said--!"

As soon as Fusu's words fell, a loud voice of praise suddenly sounded from outside the tent.

All the civil servants and military generals were taken aback for a moment, and some of them even changed their expressions slightly, and they couldn't help but all looked out of the tent.

Seeing Ying Zheng in a gilded black dragon robe and a beaded curtain crown, appearing majestically in front of everyone, everyone's pupils shrank, and they couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

"Chen Zhang Han pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Zhang Han was the first to react, stood up hastily, and saluted Yingzheng.

At this moment, all the generals recovered from their astonishment, and cupped their hands in confusion: "Your Majesty, wait for me!"

"Hehe, all my lovers are free!"

Ying Zheng smiled and raised his hand, then glanced at the ministers with piercing eyes: "I know that each of you has many questions in your mind, but I don't want to explain!"

"However." As he spoke, he changed the subject and continued: "I think you have done a good job, and you are worthy of being my Great Qin soldiers!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, they are no different from traitors and thieves.

Ying Zheng personally recognized them, which shows that they are not only rebellious officials and thieves, but also loyal officials who saved the country from danger.

Although some of them were not Ying Zheng's subjects, they were still extremely honored to hear Ying Zheng's affirmation.

This includes Zhou Kui and the Wu family brothers.

Seeing that everyone's expressions relaxed, Ying Zheng nodded with a smile, and then raised his hand to Chen Ping to signal: "Chen Aiqing, we met again. You solved the vision in Pinyang back then, and I still remember it vividly!"

"Your Majesty is safe and sound, I am grateful to God, and may your Majesty last forever!" Chen Ping complimented with a smile.

"Hahaha--!"

Ying Zheng laughed loudly, and immediately looked at Zhao Kun: "You don't seem to have told me that Chen Duwei is very flattering!"

"This"

Chen Ping was a little embarrassed.

Zhao Kun was a little amused: "Father came back to life, presumably Chen Duwei was too excited, so he developed new skills!"

"You brat, you talk nonsense all day long!"

When Ying Zheng heard Zhao Kun's words, he glared at him angrily, and then looked at Chen Ping with a smile: "Chen Aiqing, I also think that the abolition of crimes you said earlier makes sense, but there are other crimes that need to be abolished?"

"what?"

Chen Ping was slightly taken aback.

He didn't expect that Ying Zheng would personally intervene in this matter.

Although the world has not yet settled down, the news of Ying Zheng's death and resurrection may shake the world if the news spreads. When the first emperor returns, it will be a one-word order to rule the world.

In this way, the abolition of crimes finalized today can be implemented legally and reasonably.

"Why, after several months of sorting out, you sorted out these two items?"

Seeing that Chen Ping didn't reply for a long time, Ying Zheng frowned slightly, looking a little displeased.

"Oh, oh, and, please forgive me, Your Majesty, I was a little lost just now!"

Chen Ping came back to his senses, and hurriedly bowed to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng waved his hand: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, keep talking!"

"Yes! The minister obeys the order!"

Seeing that Ying Zheng was so talkative, Chen Ping took courage, and continued: "There are also crimes of defamation, false speech, false speech, and other crimes for speaking out. I think the sentence is too heavy!"

"Although speaking out widely will allow lawless people to speak falsely about the government's policies, but proper communication will help spread the policy. I wonder if His Majesty can be lenient?"

"Strange! The crime of speech has been practiced for a hundred years, and no one has ever mentioned the disadvantages. Why?"

Ying Zheng frowned, a little puzzled.

"Father clearly observed that during the Warring States period, in order to stabilize the country, wartime unification was implemented, so many laws were also wartime laws. Now that the national conditions are different, they should all be abolished!" Zhao Kun clasped his hands.

"Then according to what you can see, there are really many disadvantages in my Daqin criminal law?"

"There must be disadvantages, but the reform is imminent. Now that Liu Bang is seeking to change the laws of my Great Qin and win over people's hearts. Is the orthodox royal family of Great Qin not as farsighted as a bandit?"

Hearing this, all the ministers nodded in agreement.

Ying Zheng pondered for a while, and continued to ask Zhao Kun: "How do you think the law should be reformed?"

"Returning to the father, the minister thought that the elder brother's words were right, and it is better to be silent than to be blocked!"

"Okay! Fusu, tell me!" Ying Zheng waved his hand.

Fusu stood up and bowed, his thoughts were flying, and he said calmly: "Since Shang Yang's reform, my Great Qin has gradually become stronger and stronger, but today is different from the past."

"Ordinary people are mostly ignorant, but following others' opinions is easy for treacherous people to take advantage of, so speech crimes cannot be completely abolished, but all speech crimes can be classified into two, one is defamation, and the other is lying crime!"

"Oh?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Then how do you define these two crimes?"

"Father, if there is no clear evidence to prove other people's words and deeds, it is a crime of defamation, defaming the monarch, and the crime is added."

"Anyone who spreads treacherous speeches and confuses the people is guilty of evil speeches and those who try to overthrow the country, the crime is increased."

When Fusu said this, he suddenly remembered something, and added: "As for those who comment on the policies of the court or the popularity of officials, as long as they don't spread rumors, they can be dealt with lightly!"

"So good!"

Seeing that Fusu spoke very calmly, Chen Ping couldn't help but readily agree.

Ying Zheng stroked his beard, and expressed his approval: "The reform of the crime of speech can be implemented in this way!"

"Report to Father, I have something to say!" Zhao Kun suddenly wiped his mouth.

"Tell me!" Ying Zheng suddenly became interested.
Because this kid Zhao Kun can always speak amazing words.

But he shook his head and said: "Although our original intention is to benefit the people of Li, we can't amend the law arbitrarily now. After all, the troubled times have not subsided. The reason for the reform is to let the people of the world see our attitude, and wait for the world to be peaceful. Only then can the new policy be launched smoothly!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I think so too!" Zhang Han echoed.

"Since the charges don't need to be abolished, the cruel corporal punishment should be abolished, right?" Chen Ping knew that he didn't dare to ask too much, so he changed the subject.

Hearing this, Zhao Kun thought for a while, and said, "How about this, cruel corporal punishment is abolished, leaving only two types. Beheading and Ling Chi, beheading is applicable to those who have committed the most heinous crimes."

"If there is a heinous person, he will be executed by Ling Chi."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng frowned slightly: "What about the crime of treason?"

"If the common people rebel, the principal culprit, his wife and children will be executed by beheading. If the official rebels, the principal culprit will be beheaded, and his nine clans will be punished. The accomplices will be exiled into the army or servile. Abolish the clan status, and the accomplices will be exiled into the army or conscripted!"

"Can!"

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately made a decision: "Chen Ping, draw up a memorial to me based on this!"

"Your Majesty is wise, abolish most of the corporal punishment, the people will be grateful and praise His Majesty's sageness!"

Chen Ping got what he wanted, and he didn't mind flattering Ying Zheng a few more times.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng smiled and waved his hands: "It's alright, alright, you can stop complimenting me, I still like your unruly energy back then!"

"Yes!"

Chen Ping blushed slightly, and immediately bowed and retreated to his seat.

Zhao Kun gave him a funny look, and then said to Yingzheng, "Father, what did you think about my son's previous suggestion?"

"Wang Ben! Bring in my written imperial edict!"

When Ying Zheng heard Zhao Kun's words, he didn't answer directly, but turned around and shouted outside the tent.
