Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

Li Si wrote an article on the imperial edict with great enthusiasm, almost without hesitation or pause.

It was not that Li Si had such talent and talent, and he wrote like a god.

It was just that Li Si had already rehearsed everything that happened today in his mind.

Li Si thought about what method Ying Wei could use to obtain the throne.

If the First Emperor passed the throne to the eldest son Fusu, then the King of Yong would definitely usurp the throne.

There are two ways to usurp the throne. One is to use force to resolve the dispute.

But this behavior would put Ying Wei in a disadvantageous position, because he was not legal and would inevitably be criticized by the world.

Another brother said that this was a justification for the war.

In this case, even the combat effectiveness of the army would be reduced by a few points.

In order to prevent this from happening, Li Si guessed that King Yong would directly control Xianyang, prevent the political center from contacting the outside world, and then tamper with the edict of the First Emperor, so as to make himself legitimate.

There are many smart people among the civil and military officials of Qin. Can't they guess that the edict has been tampered with?

Of course they can guess, but it is meaningless, because you can't find the original edict, and smart people will naturally acquiesce to this.

Only fools will jump out, and King Yong can catch them all in one fell swoop.

The only thing that surprised Li Si was that this edict was blank.

But it doesn't matter if it's blank, things are still going as he expected.

While thinking about these things, Li Si wrote the edict with a serious expression.

After the ink on the edict dried, Li Si carefully held the edict in his hands, lowered his head and came to the side of Ying Wei and said: "Your Majesty, the edict has been written."

Ying Wei turned around, took the edict from Li Si, read the contents carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.

The abdication in the era of Yao, Shun and Yu would not be written in the text of the edict.

It can be said that this edict is the first abdication edict in history.

In order to write this edict well, Li Si has been thinking hard these days, thinking about how to make the writing more beautiful and majestic.

"Well written."

Ying Wei finished speaking, he spread the edict on the table again, picked up the imperial seal, looked at the eight large characters "Longevity and Eternal Prosperity, Received the Mandate from Heaven" engraved by himself, and heavily stamped the edict with the seal.

In fact, the Heshi Bi was not so noble in this era.

The First Emperor did not use this jade seal at all. He had another special jade seal, which was actually the most important jade seal of the Qin State.

However, it is no longer the era of the First Emperor. Ying Wei said that the Heshi Bi was the imperial seal, so it was the imperial seal, the most noble treasure of the Qin royal family.

After stamping the edict, Ying Wei rolled up the imperial edict.

He sealed the edict with the seal.He held the edict in his hand and carried it behind his back, waiting quietly.

…

Outside Zhangtai Palace, Zhang Han came hurriedly. Beside him, he also saw Hei Bai Xuan Jian, whom he knew, and Hei Bai Xuan Jian's son Wei Zi Liao.

After seeing these two people, a smart man like Zhang Han already knew what had happened.

He was terrified and even a little scared.

But even so, he did not dare to have any thoughts of resistance. He lowered his head and walked up the steps of Zhangtai Palace under the cold gaze of the imperial guards.

Zhang Han himself was not afraid of death, but he had a family, a huge family, and he was afraid that he would implicate his family.

So all he could do was plead guilty.

Hei Bai Xuan Jian also saw Zhang Han, but he ignored him and just walked up the steps with him and entered Zhangtai Palace.

As the leader of the Shadow Secret Guard, Zhang Han knew what had happened in Xianyang Palace at the first time.

The First Emperor passed away, Zhao Gao assassinated King Yong...

Each of these events was a major event that could shake the whole country!

"I, Zhang Han (Xuan Jian, Wei Zi Liao), pay my respects to the king~〃~〃."

The three of them knelt down in front of Ying Wei and shouted loudly.

"You two get up."

Ying Wei signaled Black and White Xuan Jian and his son Wei Zi Liao to get up.

Then he looked at Zhang Han and said in a cold tone: "Zhang Han, do you know your crime?"

"I know my crime!"

"Do you know what crime you have committed?"

"As the leader of the Shadow Secret Guard, I did not discover the conspiracy in the Xianyang Palace, which frightened the king. I am guilty of death!"

Zhang Han took the blame on himself without hesitation.

If you want to blame him for this, then he should be blamed, because he is in charge of this.

But from another perspective, he cannot be blamed completely. Who would have thought that a loyal eunuch like Zhao Gao would assassinate, especially since he had no signs of this before.

"I am going to remove you from the position of leader of the Shadow Secret Guard and remove you from your position as Shaofu. Do you have any complaints?"

Ying Wei said coldly.

"I dare not complain."

Zhang Han said respectfully.

"I am asking whether you have it or not, not whether you dare or not."

"I don't have it!"

"Very good."

Ying Wei nodded and ordered, "Come here!"

Immediately, the imperial guards entered the hall.

"Put Zhang Han in jail for now, and we'll deal with him later."

"Yes!"

The imperial guards responded, and two of them stepped forward, holding Zhang Han's arms on the left and right, and pressed him down.

Zhang Han let the two men hold him down, but he was relieved.

King Yong didn't take his life, and didn't take the lives of his family, which was a blessing in disguise.

As for losing his official position, compared with his own and his family's lives, it was nothing..

Ying Wei looked at Zi Liao and said: "¨‖ ¨‖ Wei Zi Liao, you have been with me for nearly 20 years. I have been letting you train in the Shadow Guard."

"Now I ask you to take over the position of the Shadow Guard. Do you have the ability to do it?"

Wei Zi Liao knelt down and said loudly: "I am willing to sign a military order and will die for the king."

Although he is young and steady, he is still young after all. He is excited to have such great power directly.

However, Wei Zi Liao also knows that he is only taking over the position now. If he does not do well, he will still be replaced.

Although the king is very good to his own people, there is a prerequisite, that is, you have to be really capable.

Ying Wei said again: "Xuan Jian."

"I am here!"

"From now on, you will take the position of Shaofu."

"I obey your order!"

The old Hei Bai Xuan Jian was not as excited as his son.

But he was also feeling emotional at this time. He was once a bandit and finally became a killer. Now he can become one of the nine ministers of Qin, the most powerful country in the world. What a legendary life.

The Shaofu of the Nine Ministers is a position that takes care of Ying Wei's daily life and the lives of the royal family members.

This position can be said to be the most trusted person of the emperor.

In the past, Zhang Han served as the leader of the Shadow Secret Guard and the Shaofu. Now Ying Wei has separated these two positions and given them to Xuan Jian and his son, which is a good idea.

Ying Wei promised Li Si again: "When I ascend the throne, I will make you the right prime minister!"

"I kneel to thank the king!"

Li Si knelt on the ground with excitement and shouted loudly.

He is a person who is greedy for power. He has worked hard all his life, and now he is finally going to be the person who is second to none in Qin State!

Ying Wei has never been stingy with the interest groups around him and his loyal subordinates.

At the same time, he will kill anyone who goes against his will without hesitation.

This is the most important quality of an emperor, to use both kindness and power! .
