Chapter 81: How much did you buy it for?
"…Sir, this is the Court of the Supreme Court."
The Chief Justice was furious. He pointed at the officials who had remained silent and shouted at the official who had corrected him: "Fool! Are you the only smart person here? Go and ask for the Chief Justice!"
"only."
The correcting official responded with an aggrieved sound and trotted out of the Supreme Court.
The Chief Justice was wiping his sweat as he looked at the Chief Justice's Left Supervisor, who was struggling frantically after his brother died, and felt quite frightened.
The children of the Legalists in Qin were actually very powerful, just as powerful as the children of those with military merit.
This is because several generations of Qin monarchs implemented the basic concept of governing the country by law, covering the entire Qin State under the legal network for a hundred years.
As long as you violated Qin law, the Supreme Court, which was jokingly called the Legalist Court by Confucian students, would bring you to trial no matter how powerful or meritorious you were.
Even if Wang Jian, the god of war of Qin State, committed a capital crime, they still dared to arrest him and sentence him to death.
If Ying Chengjiao was sentenced to death for the crime he committed today, the Chief Justice would definitely not stop the Chief Justice's Left Supervisor.
Ever since Shang Yang cut off the nose of Ying Qian, a member of the Qin royal family, the status of the Qin royal family was no longer high and mighty, and they had to act according to the law.
So what if he is the emperor’s younger brother?
Anyone who violated Qin law would be executed according to the law.
Even if the First Emperor was standing in the Supreme Court, the Chief Justice and the Left Justice would dare to say so.
But according to Qin law, the crime committed by Ying Chengjiao should be exterminated along with his entire clan...how to judge him?
Letting the Left Supervisor of the Supreme Court go up and pronounce the verdict according to the law, wouldn't that be courting death?
As the Chief Justice, he was present at the scene and would definitely be held responsible.
Let him go up and try it himself, he won't...
Because according to Qin law, Ying Chengjiao was one of the three tribes of the Yi people.
If the case is not tried according to Qin law, then what should it be tried according to?
The Ting Wei Zheng is not here. The Ting Wei Zheng is the most powerful person in the Ting Wei Mansion, but the Ting Wei Zheng does not want to be the most powerful person today.
Tingwei Zheng, who had always planned to replace Li Si as Tingwei, missed Li Si so much like never before.
"Li Siding deliberately didn't come because of the court affairs today. If I had known this, I shouldn't have been deceived by Wang Wan."
The Chief Justice was deeply distressed.
In the Chang'an Lord's Mansion, inside a garden pavilion.
Li Si, who was being worried about by the Chief Justice, now had a stern face and sat opposite Ying Chengjiao, who was to be exterminated with his three clans, in the pavilion.
"I thought Li Tingwei was here to arrest me, but now he's preparing to run away." Ying Chengjiao was a little confused about Li Si's intentions.
What does it mean that you come to my house and sit opposite me at this time?
Li Si stood up with his sleeves folded, and bowed deeply to Ying Chengjiao in front of several maids who were serving the two men.
"This is stupidity, and it has caused great trouble for Lord Chang'an. Is there any way to remedy this?"
Ying Chengjiao narrowed his eyes slightly.
Did the emperor tell Li Si the original script?
This shouldn’t happen. This is not my brother’s character.
This guy probably guessed something but is not sure. Is he trying to trick me?
Ying Chengjiao's eyebrows raised, he stood up suddenly and slapped the stone table.
"You still want to ruin my plans! You came up with this county system and destroyed all my fiefdoms! What's the point of bending over!"
Li Si did not stand up during this bow. He lowered his head, clasped his hands, bent his waist, and spoke in a steady and powerful voice.
"If I had not interrupted you in the court today, the county system could have been implemented, and the ministers would not have isolated me, nor would they have resented you. Apart from Chang'an Jun being blamed, the king and his ministers would be happy, and the world would be at peace. Chang'an Jun's integrity is like the white snow in winter, pure and flawless, and I am ashamed to be worthy of it."
Having said that, Li Si is playing his cards openly. If Ying Chengjiao continues to play dumb, he would be a real fool.
"Beauties, please go down first." Ying Chengjiao looked around at the maids serving him, cleared his throat and said.
Li Si's heart ached a little as he bent down to 90 degrees and could only see the ground beneath his feet.
This tone is exactly the same as when my junior fellow apprentice was flirting with me.
Is Zhao Gao lying to me? Does Chang'an Jun really think so much? Is it possible that I overestimate him?
"Yes. " The maids responded crisply.
The maids took advantage of the fact that Li Si was looking down and couldn't see, and while responding, two of them made some small movements.
One of them made a face at Ying Chengjiao, and the other one pouted at Ying Chengjiao to express his dissatisfaction .
When all the maids left, only Ying Chengjiao and Li Si were left in the pavilion.
Ying Chengqi pulled Li Si up and pressed him down on the stone bench.
He sat on the stone bench next to Li Si, looking into Li Si's eyes, and tapped the stone table unconsciously with his index finger, making a light "da da da" sound.
"How do you know that?"
If it were really so, if it weren't for me, all the ministers would have been manipulated by Lord Chang'an!
After receiving Ying Chengjiao's affirmation, Li Si was deeply shocked and forced himself not to look away from Ying Chengjiao because of the fear in his heart.
"Your Majesty is in favor of the county system, but today he did not agree in the court. There must be something hidden behind this."
Li Si paused for a moment, observing Ying Chengjiao's expression, wanting to confirm whether his guess was correct.
Ying Chengjiao was like he was listening to a story, and said with great interest: "Go on."
Li Si could not figure out anything, and thought to himself that Chang'an Jun was indeed very cunning, and continued to talk about his guesses.
"Your Majesty did not want to divide the fiefs, but in the court, he took the initiative to propose that all the land outside the Great Wall be distributed to the princes, which aroused opposition from the ministers. I dare to guess that your majesty's move was the plan of Lord Chang'an?"
Faced with Li Si's repeated test, Ying Chengjiao neither said yes nor no.
Ying Chengjiao still looked like he was listening to a storyteller, and said unhappily, "It's a fragment, isn't it?"
Broken chapter? What does this word mean? Broken article? The article is about language. Does this mean that I should continue talking?
My junior fellow apprentice created lyrics, and Chang'an Jun also created lyrics.
My junior fellow apprentice is obsessed with women, and Lord Chang'an is staying in the tower.
The two of them look so similar and they often hang out in the tower, so they must have interacted a lot.
If I want to understand Chang'an Jun, I can start with my junior brother.
"The ministers have only one reason to object, and that is that the princes are too young - this should also be within Chang'an Jun's plan. Chang'an Jun will wake up in due time, and if Si does not intervene, Chang'an Jun can use his age as an excuse to supervise the country on behalf of the princes. If Your Majesty agrees, the ministers will have no reason to object - they dare not openly talk about dividing the land and enfeoffment, as this would deprive Your Majesty of power and is a way to death."
"Given the reputation of Lord Chang'an, the ministers will certainly think that Lord Chang'an was pushed to the forefront by your majesty, and that Lord Chang'an has been hostile to you on your behalf. It is only now that you have proposed the county system, and then all the ministers will support it. In this way, as you said before, except for Lord Chang'an being slandered, the whole world will be happy."
When Li Si reached this point, he stood up and bowed again, making a ninety-degree bow to Ying Chengjiao.
"If things develop in this way, Chang'an Jun himself will suffer the hostility that Shang Jun suffered, but Si will get the power that Shang Jun once had. Chang'an Jun treated me so well, but I was jealous of Chang'an Jun's style before. I am deeply ashamed!"
Li Si's voice is full of emotion. If it weren't for that rigid face, the emotional rendering would be more appropriate.
A gentle breeze blew, and a leaf swirled and flew into the pavilion.
Ying Chengjiao grabbed it and placed it on the stone table to observe the texture of the leaf. Everything about the leaf was clearly displayed in Ying Chengjiao's eyes.
The strategy discussed by Ying Chengjiao and his followers was like this leaf. Li Si guessed it thoroughly, but it was a blind guess.
Li Si just stood there, and Ying Chengjiao wouldn't let him get up, so he kept bowing and couldn't get up.
Having stood outside the Zhangtai Palace for an entire afternoon, Li Si felt that he could stand for at least another hour.
But how could Ying Chengjiao really let Li Si stand for so long?
After half a cup of tea, Ying Chengjiao threw away the leaves and sighed.
Although he never looked down upon the wisdom of the ancients again after the quarrel with Ying Zheng, Ying Chengjiao now felt that he still did not pay enough attention to these ancients.
"How much did you buy the X-ray Pendant?"
