Through the Qin Dynasty, I am the first emperor

On the second day, in the Xianyang Palace and Qinhuang Palace, all the civil and military officials who came to the court looked at each other. The court hall was crowded with thousands of people, but today there were less than [-] people standing here. Where did the others go? One by one is naturally well aware. "Your Majesty is at court, and all the officials bow down." Xiaodouzi's sharp voice interrupted the thoughts of all the officials.

"My emperor rules the world, controls the universe alone, the great Qin will be immortal, and the sun and the moon will shine together." All the officials saluted immediately and shouted loudly in unison.

"Everyone loves you in peace." Ying Zheng said with the same expression as usual, neither salty nor indifferent.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." All the officials stood up, each with a tense expression. Obviously, after yesterday's turmoil, none of them had recovered.

"Today's morning court, we don't discuss politics, we don't care about state affairs, we only talk about the way of being an official. Please express your views." Ying Zheng glanced at the few court officials in the court, and said meaningfully.

Yingzheng's voice fell behind, and after a long time, the court was completely silent, and no one made a sound.

"What? Are you all dumb?" Ying Zheng said with displeasure on his face, and his voice was a little impatient.

"Your Majesty is guilty, please appease your anger." Baiguan immediately knelt down and said coldly.

"The military general returned to his throne, and the civilian officials knelt down." Ying Zheng's expression changed, and he said to the officials in the court. "No." All the generals immediately thanked them as if they had received an amnesty, and returned to their positions. They stood there energetically and looked at the civil servants who were kneeling on the ground with some sympathy in their eyes.

"I tell you, don't think that you are safe if you stand alive in the court. Those who are lucky will often die worse." Ying Zheng's tone was stern and merciless. road.

The huge court hall was deathly silent, and the beating of the hearts of all the officials could be heard.

"Okay, since you are silent, come on! Xuan Li Changqing goes to the hall." Ying Zheng pointed out, leaving Xiaodouzi standing beside him.

Little Douzi couldn't help but understand His Majesty's meaning, and immediately shouted: "Your Majesty has a decree, to announce Li Changqing's audience."

After being informed by the herald at the gate, Li Changqing quickly arrived at the Emperor Qin Palace, and then knelt three times and kowtowed nine times to Ying Zheng.

"Stay flat." Ying Zheng nodded and said, seeing Li Changqing get up, he immediately asked, "How's the matter going?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is a good thing that I did not disgrace my life. The 570 officials and nobles in Xianyang City were all arrested and brought to justice. The gold, silver, jewels and silks and satins obtained from the confiscation of their homes are simply outrageous and shocking." Li Changqing first breathed a sigh of relief. Then his face twitched a little, and he couldn't help but take a breath. "Directly convert it into gold, and report the number to all the Qingtian masters in the court!" Ying Zheng looked at the civil servants in the court with an indifferent expression, and sneered.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to a conservative estimate, it is worth about 4601 million taels of gold." Li Changqing replied truthfully. This is a conservative figure obtained after a night of identification by a special person.

"Three thousand four hundred and sixty-one million taels, are you really a good official of the Great Qin State, the official of the people's parents?" Ying Zheng's tone was indescribably sarcasm, but his eyes were very cold.

All the officials above the court gasped, and even the generals beside him, Meng Tian, ​​Wang Ben, Han Xin, and Xiang Yu were all moved.

"It's just the corrupt officials in Xianyang City. Under the emperor's feet, they are so frenzied. Tell me, how many cities like Xianyang City are there in the Great Qin Dynasty?" Ying Zheng stood up, glared, and almost roared.

"Your Majesty calm down, the ministers are terrified." All civil and military officials knelt down and said in unison.

"What a panic, how to appease the anger, come and tell me, how should I appease the anger? Huh?" Ying Zheng smiled instead of anger, and asked a question.

All the officials fell silent for a while, and no one made a sound.

"Your Majesty, I think that if you don't kill those who are so insane, corrupt and perverting the law, it won't be enough to shake the country's laws, and it won't be enough to make the people angry." Li Changqing took the lead in speaking, his voice was as cold as a nine-devil demon, making the civil servants in the court feel like It's like the twelfth lunar month of winter, with cold hands and feet.

"I don't mean what Changqing said, but since they like money so much, I will let them accompany money forever." Ying Zheng frowned, and continued in a cold voice; "I will pass on my order, at noon tomorrow, at the Xianyang school grounds, All the criminals will be cast into bronze statues with bronze juice, as a warning to others."

After hearing Ying Zheng's cold wishes, several timid civil servants knelt on the spot and began to tremble.

"My emperor is a sage, a sage of eternity, his achievements will last for thousands of years, and his reputation will shake the sky." Although the civil and military officials were frightened, they still complimented him.

Ying Zheng didn't care to pay attention to those flattering voices and immediately said to Li Changqing, "Changqing."

"The minister is here." Li Changqing immediately responded.

"I order you to immediately take Xianyang as the axis, radiate the whole world of Great Qin, and conduct a thorough investigation. Once verified, all the people involved in the case will be cast alive as bronze statues to purify the world. If there are not enough manpower, they will be transferred from the four major armies." Ying Zheng seemed The words were not shocking, and he said directly to Li Changqing.

"I accept the decree and leave." After Li Changqing finished his salute, he left in a hurry.

"Little Douzi, pass on my decree and announce it to the world. From now on, the Great Qin will go up to the imperial court and down to the small officials in the village. Those who dare to exploit the common people for half a tael, and those who dare to seek a copper coin from the court will be punished by casting a living bronze statue. Whether it is the common people who dare to bribe officials or the officials who accept bribes, once investigated and dealt with, they will be punished by skinning and tearing apart." Ying Zheng said every word, sonorously and forcefully stated a series of new policies.

But like a sharp knife, it was directly inserted into the heart of every civil servant and general in the court.Let them have to be careful in their future official career and be vigilant at all times.

"Slave obeys the order." Xiaodouzi also opened his mouth first, with a look of astonishment, and then saw Ying Zheng's cold eyes, woke up immediately, and said in command.

Seeing that Xiaodouzi had gone to preach the decree, Ying Zhengcai turned around and changed his mind to today's topic: "Let's go! It's almost noon, since you don't understand the way of being an official, I will teach you what it is to be an official." road."

"No." Baiguan said in a daze.

"Putting out the driving school." Ying Zheng shouted loudly, and walked out of the Qinhuang Palace first.

All the officials looked at each other, and then followed Ying Zheng out one by one according to the size of their official positions.

Tens of thousands of people in prison uniforms knelt on the ground in the Xianyang school grounds.

In front of them, hundreds of cauldrons were burning with raging fire. There were special soldiers to keep the fire strong, and there were also those who were responsible for putting bronze into the cauldrons.The four sides of the school grounds were surrounded by dense crowds of people watching the excitement, discussing and pointing at the prisoner kneeling in the center of the school grounds.

"I'll go, isn't that the gatekeeper in the west of the city, sir?"

"My lord is a bird. Didn't you see that Lord Xianyang Lingqi of our Xianyang City is also kneeling there?"

"What is Xianyang Lingyou? Do you see the fat guy in the middle? I've seen that guy before. He looks like Deng Dequan, the imperial historian. Back then, he was riding a tall horse. How majestic! I'm so envious , among the three men?"

"Who knows what's going on here? Why do all these court lords put on prison uniforms and kneel here? What is cooked in the cauldron? Is it for food?"

Just when the surrounding crowd was discussing, a sharp voice sounded; "Your Majesty is here."

[Brother Zheng needs to be powerful and domineering, and he needs votes to maintain it!The emperor is about to break out, and more encouragement is needed.
