Chapter 1104 Don’t do what you don’t want to do [Please subscribe*Please vote]

"It is our honor to have you in the Qin Empire; Wang Jian will be even more tired if he has you!"

Feng Quji said seriously.

Poor Wang Jian!
“It’s a bit anticlimactic!”

In the carriage, Ying Zheng looked at Yan Yan and sighed.

At the beginning he was really angry and really wanted to kill both Wei Liaozi and Feng Quji.

But when he thought of the impact caused by the two people's deaths and the mess left behind, he had to endure it.

This is the helplessness of being a king. You cannot do whatever you want.

Therefore, he envied Yan Yan for being able to act on his own accord and having a group of staunch supporters to help him clean up the mess.

“This is normal!”

Yan Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with it. As a monarch, if he could do whatever he wanted, that would be a real crisis for the country.

If the power of the king is not restricted, the country will perish.

“True freedom is not doing whatever you want, but not doing what you don’t want.”

"If you don't want to do something, then don't do it!" Ying Zheng savored this sentence carefully.

It sounds simple, but it is actually extremely difficult.

Doing whatever you want is unruly, not free.

If you don’t want to do something, then don’t do it. That’s true freedom!

Ying Zheng finally understood Bingzhou's confidence. Everyone in the world had misunderstood Yan Yan and Bingzhou.

They all thought that Bingzhou could do whatever it wanted without restraint.

In fact, Bingzhou’s confidence lies in the fact that they can say no to everything, and no one can force them to do anything they don’t want to do.

Whether it was the State of Zhao, or the later Donghu, Xiongnu, or the Six-Nation Alliance and the State of Qin.

Bingzhou must first have the confidence to say no to everything, and then it will be qualified to put forward its own suggestions and do things according to its own ideas.

Ying Zheng and the Qin State also had this confidence, but they wanted a lot and would feel disappointed when they couldn't get it.

In fact, if Ying Zheng could have killed Wei Liaozi and Feng Quji, the Qin Dynasty would at most have fallen into a brief civil strife, and the situation would not have gotten out of control.

It’s just that Ying Zheng wanted more, and only when he couldn’t get it did he feel regretful.

What you want and what you don’t want to do cannot be confused!
The latter is the basis for the former, and the former needs to continue on the basis of the efforts of the latter.

Although the latter is passive, it will not lead to a situation that is difficult to resolve.

The former will be limited by personal vision and will not be able to achieve better development, and may even face an unmanageable situation because the king's power is not controlled.

"Well said! I'm grateful for your advice!" Ying Zheng accepted the advice humbly.

After parting with Ying Zheng, Yan Yan also returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He slept until he woke up naturally and did not have to worry about the attendant watching him.

After all, that guy was tricked by him into writing biographies and legends of various heroes in Bingzhou, and he was too busy to spare any time.

"Your Majesty!" Mo Ya and Bai Feng both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yan Yan return safely.

"Are you okay?" Yan Lingji asked with some concern.

"Nothing much, I went to see a play, it was lively and funny!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

Although Wei Liaozi is simple, it doesn’t mean he is stupid!

On the contrary, compared to Wang Jian, Wei Liaozi was a greater threat to Bingzhou. Wang Jian was a commander-in-chief and a general who was good at fighting, while Wei Liaozi was a ruthless man who could influence the whole world and the opening and trend of the entire battlefield. Therefore, although they all laughed at Wei Liaozi's simplicity, no one dared to laugh at Wei Liaozi's wisdom.

"Is my elder brother okay?" Dao Zhi came running over to ask again.

He couldn't sleep as long as Xiong Qi didn't come back, for he was worried that Xiong Qi would be implicated.

"He's fine. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be back around noon tomorrow." Yan Yan explained.

Xiong Qi was only the initiator and organizer of this incident. After handing over the decision-making power to Wei Liaozi and Feng Quji, he would naturally come back.

Of course, Yan Yan was sure that Xiong Qi had definitely thrown some political enemies into this incident and fabricated false charges to frame them.

But what can we do? Even if it doesn’t happen this time, there will be next time.

As the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, it would not be easy for Xiong Qi to kill people.

"That's good!" After getting Yan Yan's confirmation again, Dao Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The martial law in Lishanwei did not last for just one or two days. After all, it was only one day, and then a lot of senior officials died. No matter how they tried to cover it up, it could not be explained away.

Therefore, if those people want to create the result of death in an accident, they still need the cooperation of Lishanwei.

It was not until seven days later that the Lishan Guards finally withdrew from Xianyang and handed the city back to the Xianyang Order.

However, at the morning court session, Qin's civil and military officials also discovered that many of their colleagues were missing. Those who knew the reason would naturally know, and those who didn't dare to say anything.

This is how the court works, only by being cautious can you live longer.

Never try to find out something that you are not supposed to know.

What he can know, someone will tell him.

"How are the preparations for the Unification Ceremony going?" Ying Zheng pretended nothing had happened and asked about the specific matters of the Unification Ceremony.

"Everything is going according to plan. The only surprise is that Master Yan Lu, the second head of the Confucian Minor Sage Zhuang, will replace the Imperial Ancestral Temple Order as the master of ceremonies and chief order of this ceremony."

Xiong Qi stepped forward and answered.

This is also expected, after all, Yan Lu represents Confucian orthodoxy and the Little Sage Zhuangzi.

Even the Qin State's Taimiao Ling, who was a Confucian, had to call Yan Lu "Master".

"Where's the money?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Yao.

He didn't want to use his own treasury. The best outcome would be to not use the national treasury or his own treasury.

"Enough!" Li Yao said calmly, without saying how much he could earn this time or how much he could add to the national treasury, and he would not take the initiative to say how much he would add to the internal treasury.

Ying Zheng was speechless and said, "Can't you see that I want to ask you how much I can earn?"

"Master Li Yao means that this unification ceremony will be the first and most grand celebration in the history of China, and it does not require funding from the national treasury."

Xiong Qi stepped forward and explained a few words on behalf of Li Yao. He didn't want the other party to suffer any injustice with such a useful purse.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly. As long as he didn't have to pay for it himself, it would be a good thing!
If I don’t want to pay, then I don’t have to pay. Isn’t that a good thing?
People need to know how to be content!
"Li Si!" Ying Zheng looked up at Li Si.

"I'm here!" Li Si took two steps forward and answered.

"From now on, Li Si will serve as the assistant to the Prime Minister's Office and concurrently serve as the Chief Justice!" Ying Zheng continued.

Everyone was surprised that the position of a walker was not a permanent one, and that he was a walker in the Prime Minister's Office.

This is equivalent to telling everyone clearly that Li Si will be the next candidate for the Right Prime Minister, and Feng Quji is out!
Li Si was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly.

As expected, sometimes luck is also part of strength. No one knows whether your opponent will suddenly come crazy and stab you, like Feng Quji!
