Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 465: I'm Appointed as Minister of Reform!
Zuo Xiang Ziying's question also caused doubts and worries in other people's minds.

They long for the long prosperity and peace of the Great Qin Empire, but they don't want to be ministers of reform.Because there have been too many examples in history, often reforms and strong officials will inevitably die tragically in the end.

Shang Junwei Yang, single-handedly created the farming and warfare system, making the weak Qin become a strong Qin in just 20 years, and even regained the lost land in Hexi, which had been hated by the country for a hundred years.

Even though his merit was greater than that of Qin, Shang Jun Wei Yang finally sacrificed Qin Fa with his own blood.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the powerful ministers who have reformed the law often died unexpectedly, almost without exception.

Especially in the Great Qin Empire, there are living examples like Shang Jun Wei Yang.

Nobody wants to die!
It is for this reason that everyone is silent, because they all know that reformers will eventually sacrifice blood for the reform.

For a moment, the quiet fallen leaves above the main hall could be heard.Qin Emperor Hu Hai was silent, Sangong Jiuqing and other ministers were also silent, no one wanted to break this moment of silence.

……

After a long time, Qin Emperor Hu Hai's eyes flashed, and he quickly understood the worries in the hearts of the officials.Looking around for a week, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Don't worry, dear friends, the Great Qin Empire is reforming today, and there will be absolutely no events in Shangjun's past!"

He knew the outcome of Shang Yang, which chilled the hearts of all the officials.Hu Hai didn't want to comment on King Qin Huiwen's actions, but right now he needs a strong minister like Shang Yang.

With this in mind, Hu Hai knew that it was necessary to get rid of the jealousy of the officials. Only in this way could he select talents and make the Great Qin Empire rise rapidly.

"I want to change the tax of [-] to [-] of [-]. Let the tired people of the country rest."

"At the same time, strengthen the system of farming and warfare, that is, the legal system of the Shang monarch, and then implement the sharing of people into acres, so as to achieve a huge increase in population!"

Hu Hai knew in his heart that the previous tax was a poll tax. In this way, the people of the country would control births to a certain extent in order to live.

Once it is implemented, the people will be liberated, and the people's interest in childbearing will be greatly enhanced, reaching a stage of prosperity.

"Your Majesty, the reform is no small matter, and the Minister of the Reform is the most important thing..." Zuo Xiang Ziying's face was full of worry.

"Your Majesty, please think twice, the reform should not be taken lightly..." At this moment, all the ministers stood up one after another, admonishing Hu Hai.

"All right!"

Qin Emperor Hu Hai took a deep look at the group of officials, and then said decisively: "I have made up my mind. For this reform, I will personally serve as the minister of the reform, and Yingling Lingcai Battalion will serve as the army of guardians."

"For the reform, you have only one choice, and that is to obey!" Suddenly, Qin Emperor Hu Hai stood up from the throne, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, your choice?"

"Jiu Jiu Lao Qin, let's go to the national calamity together!" Above the main hall, all the ministers shouted together.

This time it was Qin Emperor Hu Hai who personally persecuted them, and they had no choice at all.When the Great Qin Empire is in dire straits, only by closely uniting with Qin Emperor Hu Hai can we succeed.

Glancing at the officials, Hu Hai paused every word, and said: "Immediately announce to all the counties and counties of the Great Qin Empire that the Great Qin will carry out the second profound reform, and all the people of the country should obey it!"

"Yes!"

……

The court meeting in Xianyang Palace had just ended, and a news spread quickly among the upper-class families in Xianyang: Qin Emperor Hu Hai personally served as the Minister of Reform, and was ready to go to war on the land of Guanzhong!

For the first time, the Daqin family in Xianyang was shocked and panicked.For a while, everyone rushed to tell each other, and there were many discussions.

Some mansions are full of people!
On October [-]th, the Prime Minister's Office of the Great Qin Empire issued an edict confirming the determination of Qin Emperor Hu Hai to personally serve as Minister of the Reform and carry out the reform in the Great Qin Empire.

For a time, the wind was surging.The people of the Great Qin Empire are talking about it, and they are full of expectations for the reform.

Even almost all the clans were very happy.In the Great Qin Empire, there was an example of the successful reform of Shang Jun and Wei Yang, and no one opposed it.

……

Xianyang Palace.

Qin Emperor Hu Hai and Empress Wang Luojie were sitting in the bedroom, Hu Hai hugged the Empress, silent and didn't know what he was thinking.

Wang Luojie said lightly, "Why are you worried, Your Majesty? But you have ambitions for political reform, and the general is worthy of the people of Great Qin, and the country of our ancestors."

Hearing this, Hu Hai smiled faintly, and said, "Queen, do you know that what Shang Jun Wei Yang said back then to Duke Xiao, do you want to be my Wei Yang today?"

Wang Luojie shook her head, and said: "As the empress of the Great Qin Empire, this concubine should set an example. It is not appropriate for a concubine to show her face in public, and she can only support Your Majesty behind her back!"

"Ah."

Nodding his head, Hu Hai smiled leisurely, and said: "The deeper the reform, the more difficult and dangerous the road. Looking at the reforms in the world, I think at least three conditions are required!"

Wang Luojie smiled, paused every word to Hu Hai, and said: "Your Majesty, our Great Qin Empire is a country ruled by law, and there are a group of people who wholeheartedly support the reform in the ruling and opposition parties, occupying key positions."

"Since Lord Shang, the Qin Law has not shunned the powerful. The Qin Law is implemented, and the whole country obeys the law! This has already been imprinted in the souls of the old Qin people!"

Speaking of this, Wang Luojie smiled and said: "As for the third one, the monarch must have no doubts about the Minister in charge of the reform, and he must not provoke or alienate him."

"Now that His Majesty is personally serving as the Minister of Reform, the monarch and his ministers are one, and there must be no power to stop it. Why do you need to worry about Your Majesty!"

"Ha ha……"

Qin Emperor Hu Hai laughed loudly, looked at the shy and charming Wang Luojie, and said, "Queen, these are not difficult for me, nor for the Great Qin Empire!"

"The three things I said are, first, I must personally visit the counties of the Great Qin Empire to see the specific situation before I can make a final decision."

"Secondly, once the new law is implemented, the Great Qin Empire will become more fragile in the short term. If an enemy comes to attack, the country will be in danger of subjugation!"

"Third, the people of old Qin supported the reform, but the situation in the Central Plains was changing. Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was determined to sweep the world, and Liu Jihu, the king of Liaodong, looked at the Central Plains."

"I don't know if the reform will be completed before Liu Ji and Xiang Yu attack, so that I can calmly deploy and challenge the world!"

……

During these days of getting along, Wang Luojie also found out Hu Hai's temper.At this time, she did not dare to speak rashly to persuade her. It is a taboo for women to intervene in politics.

This is especially true now that Wang Ben, Marquis of Tongwu, who is also her father, is in high position and authority.

After being silent for a while, Wang Luojie sighed and said, "The foundation of a strong country lies in hiding wealth from the people. The foundation of a strong army lies in rewarding the people."

"Shang Jun's reform has realized the second article. Now His Majesty's reform only needs to realize the first article!"
