Chapter 869 Zhang Liang, a fourth-term student of Daqin Military Academy, pays homage to the King! This is the way of Daitian herdsmen!
Ying Zheng looked through the bamboo slips over and over again, trying to find the price Ying Chengyu would pay for this.
But even though Ying Zheng tore through the bamboo slips and crushed them into pieces, he still couldn't find any information about the price between the lines!
"This is a Zhuzi! This is a Zhuzi!"
Ying Zheng's hands holding the bamboo slips were shaking, and his voice was full of anger as he murmured: "I am his eldest brother!"
"What can't you tell me frankly?"
As the King of Qin, Ying Zheng cannot accept things in the country that are beyond his control and cognition.
As the eldest brother, Ying Zheng cannot accept that his younger brother has to bear a heavy price on his back. He has lost his life and fortune and only asked him to complete his great cause!
Ying Zheng is very angry!
Ying Zheng suddenly raised his head and suppressed the advice of all the courtiers with an angry, anxious and loud voice.
In the huge Qilin Hall, only Ying Zheng's angry questions echoed rumbled: "Do you have any other confessions, brother Wang?!"
The fierce man immediately raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Chang'an does have some confessions to make. "
Ying Zheng said forcefully: "Come quickly! "
Sure enough!
Sure enough, there is still one!
If I didn't ask, Brother Wang would have to hide it and not talk about it, right?
But the fierce man scratched his head, and said naively: "I am humble and young, I am afraid it will be difficult to convey the details."
"Chang'an Jun specially sent the fourth-term students of the military academy to return with me. Xianyang, convey the thoughts of Lord Chang'an."
"Now my disciple Zhang Liang is being inspected by the guards. After the inspection, he will enter the palace to pay homage to the king."
If Ying Chengxuan is ordered to go on an expedition. Or he was ordered to provide disaster relief, and Zhang Liang and the fierce husband could enter the palace with the report.
But this time Ying Chengyu disobeyed the order and went to war!
With the identity of Ying Cheng's family soldier, the fierce man was able to enter the palace more easily.
But as a survivor of the late Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang was bound to not enjoy unimpeded treatment.
Ying Zheng shouted without hesitation: "Send the order to the guards, without checking, to quickly bring Zhang Liang, a fourth-term student of the military academy, into the palace!"
"No!"
"Young Lieutenant General, go and lead Zhang Liang into the palace yourself!"
After the order, Ying Zheng couldn't help but stood up anxiously and paced back and forth on the high platform.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Liang finally ran quickly onto the high platform under the guidance of Zhao Gao.
Putting his shoes outside the palace door, Zhang Liang cupped his hands and called out: "Zhang Liang, a fourth-year student of Daqin Military Academy, wants to see the king!"
Ying Zheng's voice immediately came from the palace door: "Pass!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Liang stepped across the threshold, stepping into the power center of Great Qin for the first time in his life!
What greeted Zhang Liang was a dull, silent and oppressive atmosphere, as well as the looks of the Qin monarchs and ministers!
Zhang Liang originally thought that he would be intimidated by this majestic and majestic palace that entrusted supreme power.
But when he actually stepped into this palace, Zhang Liang found that there was not much nervousness in his heart. After all, there were too many acquaintances in this hall!
Facing the searching eyes, Zhang Liang calmly walked to the middle of the hall, faced Ying Zheng and bowed his hands in as masculine a manner as possible, and shouted solemnly:
"Zhang Liang, fourth-term student of Daqin Military Academy, pays homage to the king!"
But even though Zhang Liang has tried his best to make his appearance more masculine, Zhang Liang's figure is still slim and slim, and his voice is also Extraordinarily soft and creamy.
Fortunately, Ying Zheng had seen this doll who was often taken by Ying Chengxuan many times, and he was already quite familiar with Zhang Liang's figure, appearance and voice, and he also knew that Ying Chengxuan was very fond of Zhang Liang. How many hopes he had placed on him.
So even though Zhang Liang was completely inconsistent with Da Qin's aesthetics, Ying Zheng still smiled at Zhang Liang: "When I first met Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang was just a child."
"I never thought that Mr. Zhang can now share the worries of Lord Chang'an!"
Zhang Liangqiang smiled a little: "It's all thanks to Lord Chang'an's attention!"
The Lord just tried his best to get Zhang to exercise.
Whoever wants to share this worry will share it. Zhang’s thighs are going to be rotten!
Seeing the helplessness in Zhang Liang's eyes, Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile.
But the lingering thoughts about Ying Chengyu made Ying Zheng not in the mood to win over with pleasantries. Instead, he asked directly: "What did the Lord of Chang'an want Mr. Zhang to convey?"
Zhang Liang bowed his hands and saluted again, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty!"
"There are two things that Lord Chang'an ordered his disciples to convey."
"First, Lord Chang'an thought that the people of Qin were mine. The Qin Dynasty pays taxes and contributes people's power, but the people of other countries do not pay taxes and contribute their people's power to our country."
"So, the corvee and the people's power should be the credit of the Qin people."
“It’s just that this merit is small, almost negligible, and it is not convenient to award it immediately.”
"Our Great Qin's disaster relief actions are the same as our Great Qin's construction of water conservancy and river management. It is not a reward for the people of the Great Qin for no merit, but a reward for the merits of the people of the Great Qin!"
Listen! Lu Buwei, Chunyu Yue and others all brightened up at Zhang Liang's words.
In the past, when they fought for the interests of the head of Guizhou, they did so from the perspective of benevolent governance and people's power. They used different ideas of governing the country to conflict with the rule of law of Great Qin.
But Ying Chengyu and Zhang Liang started from Da Qin’s rule of law thinking itself, and used the stick of Da Qin’s rule of law to pry the foundation of Da Qin’s rule of law!
There is no doubt that the starting point of Ying Chengyu and Zhang Liang will be more acceptable to the officials of the Qin Dynasty than that of Lu Buwei and others.
But correspondingly, once Ying Chengyu and Zhang Liang succeed, the foundation of the rule of law in Da Qin will also be shaken!
Feng Quji immediately refuted: "What Chang'an Jun said is a big mistake!"
"Corvee taxes are the responsibility of the people, and they are the responsibilities and obligations that all Qin people should bear. "
"How can it be credit!"
Faced with the sudden rebuttal, Zhang Liang was not surprised. Instead, he showed a narrow smile: "If the corvee tax is the people's tax, What is the corresponding benefit to the people? ”
Zhang Liang looked at Feng Quji, and his voice couldn't help but become a little louder: "Pay and reward are not equal, power and responsibility are not equal, there are only responsibilities but no rights and interests." "This is the way to punish criminals!"
“Is it the sin of all the people to serve me as the people of Great Qin!”
This question cannot be answered!
If it is the sin of all the people to become the people of the Great Qin, it is tantamount to attacking the legitimacy of the Great Qin!
Feng Quji retorted solemnly: "Equal power and responsibilities are the way to govern officials, not the people!"
Zhang Liang retorted decisively: "Our method in Da Qin is to flatter the powerful and the powerful. You're flattering the officials!"
One sentence left Feng Quji speechless.
The way of governing officials and the way of governing people are of course different.
But in the Qin Dynasty, before the laws of Qin, everyone, including officials and heads of Guizhou, was equal! This is the political correctness of Da Qin’s rule of law, and it is also the truth that Da Qin has always implemented!
Lu Buwei could demand that the way of governing officials and the way of governing people should be divided into two parts, but Feng Quji, who spoke out on behalf of the rule of law in the Qin Dynasty, could not say such words!
Seeing this, Zhang Liang said firmly: "If corvee taxes are the people's responsibility, then it is the people's right to ask the court to provide protection and assistance in times of crisis."
"If corvee taxes and taxes are the merits of the people, then protecting the country and the people is the reward that the court should give to the people."
"In this way, it is truly in line with the spirit of the law!"
Feng Qu Ji, Li Si and others were in a daze for a moment.
What's going on!
How can the idea of the rule of law, which advocates severe punishment and harsh laws, be forcibly distorted to produce the fruits of benevolent government? !
Feng Quji and others quickly calmed down and thought carefully about their refutations.
The corners of Zhang Liang's mouth turned up slightly, he bowed his hands in front of Ying Zheng and said, "The above is a humble refutation of what Feng Shangqing said." The superior refuted it, so he ordered me to say: The three emperors and the five emperors are the herdsmen of heaven!"
"Relieving the hardships of the people is the way that emperors and emperors practice. It is also the way that heaven and earth are happy to see, and it is also the way that heaven and earth are blessed with."
"Look at me, your Majesty, think twice!"
Feng Quji, Li Si and other courtiers: "Huh???"
Both pairs of eyes looked at Zhang Liang in surprise, shock and speechlessness.
Chang'an Jun said that the world would be happy to see the imperial court relieving the people's hardships?
The Lord of Chang'an said that the imperial court can win the favor of heaven and earth by relieving the hardships of the people?
You should have told me earlier!
If you had said this earlier, there would have been so many arguments!
This is something that everyone in the world would like to see, can we disagree!
Li Si, Gan Yun and other courtiers no longer thought about their refutations, but all raised their hands: "My lord, second your proposal!"
Lu Buwei, Chun Yuyue and others couldn't help but smile, excitedly raised their hands, and shouted excitedly: "My lord, second the proposal!"
The issue that had been arguing for half a month was solved simply and crudely.
Ying Zheng felt no joy in his heart.
Just because Ying Zheng suddenly understood why Ying Chengyu did not want to be called a great witch by the world but accepted the identity of a great witch!
Ying Zheng immediately asked: "Mr. Zhang, what is the second one?"
Zhang Liang cupped his hands and saluted again: "The Lord of Chang'an said: If your Majesty thinks that what I have in mind is appropriate, I would like to ask you to make a decision as soon as possible." Heaven and earth!”
When he heard Zhang Liang’s words, even Feng Quji winked at Ying Zheng.
Your Majesty! What are you still hesitating about?
Promise! Hurry up and agree!
Lord Chang'an wants to present your order to heaven and earth and win the favor of heaven and earth!
Seeing this, Ying Zheng had no choice but to suppress his worries and spoke in a deep voice: "Everyone who loves you thinks that Lord Chang'an's policy is very good, and I also think that Lord Chang'an's advice is very popular with me."
< br>"I ordered the Cavalry Lieutenant General Wang Wu to lead 1,000 guards and 10,000 corvees to recruit all the strong men in the disaster area to help the people in the disaster area rebuild their homeland."
"Allocate grain and grass to all the people affected by the disaster according to the corvee standards until The disaster-stricken areas can regain their self-sufficiency.”
“We will allocate grain seeds, plows, hoes and other farming and construction materials to help the people in the disaster-stricken areas reclaim their fields.”
"Order Gan Qiong of Taicang to go to the disaster area during the autumn harvest to assess the severity of the disaster. The severity of the disaster will be assessed based on the destruction of acres and poor harvests. The lightest one will be exempted from one year's tax, the medium one will be exempted from two years' tax and one year's corvee, and the most severe one will be exempted for three years. Annual taxes and two years of corvée. "
Chun Yuyue shed tears on his court uniform, and the guard's face was red. All the Confucian scholars and doctors shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
If so! On normal days, when faced with the heartfelt praise from so many Confucian scholars, Ying Zheng would smile and respond easily.
But now Ying Zheng has no time to pay attention to these Confucian scholars. He just asked again: "Apart from these two matters, does Chang'an Lord have no explanation?"
Zhang Liang smiled and said: " Lord Chang'an's humble words were all the court's response to refute Lord Chang'an's advice."
"Other than that, Mr. Chang'an has no other explanation."
Ying Zheng's brows furrowed deeply.
He really wanted to ask, didn’t Ying Chengyu have any explanation for the price of confessing his identity as a great witch?
But after thinking about it again, Ying Zheng also understood.
If Ying Chengyu is willing to confess the price to Zhang Liang, he will definitely not hide it from Ying Zheng.
If you ask directly, I'm afraid you won't get anything out of it.
Ying Zhenglue thought about it and decided to ask in a subtle way: "Mr. Zhang, does he know why Lord Chang'an wants to worship the earth dragon in Zheng County?"
