Chapter 251 Does Your Majesty intend to abolish the old laws and implement new laws?
At the beginning, when the First Emperor passed away, his teacher Zhao Gao forged a will and wanted to make Hu Hai the emperor!

However, all this was destroyed by the Thirteenth Prince Ying Che, and Zhao Gao died as a result, while Li Si, who knew the truth, seemed to be safe and sound.

It seems that perhaps no one knows about the existence of the fake will!
This is much simpler. Tomorrow I will report Ying Che and accuse him of tampering with the imperial edict and coveting the throne, and force my father to execute him.

By then, no one will know the truth and the ownership of the throne will still be unknown.

Although Fusu was deeply loved by his father, Hu Hai held Li Si's secrets.

At that time, he, Hu Hai, could use this to threaten Li Si, and the throne might be something he could get his hands on!

Outside the city, the ministers and princes had different reactions, which I will not go into detail here.

Inside the Zhangtai Palace, the emperor and his ministers were chatting and laughing cheerfully. Suddenly, the guards reported that Li Si was waiting outside the palace.

The two looked at each other, and finally, Ying Che spoke: "Father, I will no longer ask about Li Si's affairs. It is up to you to decide his life or death."

The Emperor's face was stern, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, and he ordered: "Call him in."

Da da da--

When Li Si, who was fifty years old, stepped into the hall, he suddenly heard a thunderous roar.

"Lis!"

"Do you know your guilt?"

The dragon's mighty power made Li Si fall to his knees instantly.

"Your humble servant...knows...knows his crime."

The most feared moment finally arrived, and Li Si's heart was filled with death.

At this moment, Wang Jian, Meng Tian and five others had just arrived outside the hall and were waiting quietly.

"Tell me, what is your crime?"

The voice of the First Emperor came from afar. Wang Jian and Meng Tian exchanged glances. It was still the familiar Majesty, with that familiar dragon might!
Then they heard Li Si's voice.

"Your humble servant deserves death!"

"I should not have listened to Zhao Gao's evil plan and tampered with your will, deposing Prince Fusu and supporting Prince Huhai to ascend the throne."

"I regret this deeply, please let me die, Your Majesty!"

When these words were spoken, everyone outside the door was shocked!

what?
It turned out that Zhao Gao and Li Si conspired to tamper with the will?
Didn’t the Thirteenth Young Master say that His Majesty did not leave a will?
what on earth is it?

A voice continued to be heard from the hall: "Humph! Li Si, you know that if Heng'er hadn't intercepted the fake edict sent to the northern border, Fusu and Meng Tian would probably have committed suicide because of your fake edict!"

"Do you understand that what you have committed is treason?!"

"I know my crime and am willing to die!"

The five people outside now all understood that they had actually forged the will and sent it to the northern border...

Upon hearing this, the content of the will actually ordered Fusu and Meng Tian to commit suicide, which was undoubtedly extremely audacious!
Everyone looked at each other, with shock in their eyes.

And all of this was unexpectedly intercepted by the Thirteenth Young Master.

Meng Tian was also extremely surprised. He had never expected that the one who saved him and Fusu from the dire situation was the Thirteenth Prince, whom he had repeatedly slandered.

Even if he got the imperial edict, he might not commit suicide like Fusu, but the emperor's order was as heavy as a mountain, and not committing suicide would be a disobedience, and his reputation would be ruined.

Perhaps, the Thirteenth Young Master was not as stupid as he imagined?
Just as everyone was speculating, a word from the First Emperor suddenly came, causing Wang Jian, Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi, Wang Ben, and Feng Quji to change their faces drastically!

……

Inside the Zhangtai Palace, Li Si knelt on the ground trembling. At this moment, the fate of him and his family depended on the words of the First Emperor.

Your Majesty has convicted him of treason. Li Si knows that he cannot escape death and only hopes that his family will be less affected.

However, it is still unclear whether the trial will be based on the old Qin law system during your Majesty's reign or the new law revised by the Thirteen Princes.

If the old system had been followed, Li Si would have been punished by the death penalty of being torn apart by a chariot for treason, his three clans would have been exterminated, and his nine clans would have been enslaved, a miserable ending.

According to the new law, the crime did not involve family members, so Li Si's family could be spared from being implicated. At most, his son's political career would be damaged and he would retire to the countryside. Even so, Li Si died without regrets.

Li Si, Qin Shi Huang and Ying Heng were well aware of this truth.

The five people outside the window might have understood it, but now that His Majesty has regained power, they naturally think that all the decrees of the Thirteenth Prince in the past six months may be canceled and return to the old laws. Li Si will be torn to pieces and his three clans will be exterminated!
However, the first emperor's next words shocked Li Si in the room and the five people outside.

The First Emperor asked, "Heng'er, according to the new law you have formulated, how do you view the treasonous act of tampering with the will?"

After hearing these words, Li Si was stunned and raised his head suddenly.

Only then did they realize that His Majesty was not sitting on the dragon throne, but was sitting side by side with the Thirteenth Prince, each of them sitting behind a desk, with equal status!
The Thirteenth Prince was not punished or imprisoned by His Majesty?
He actually sat in the hall with Your Majesty, and his status was equal!

What is the situation?

What does it mean?

Has His Majesty not regained power?

But Your Majesty is clearly still the Emperor!

However, I have committed treason, but Your Majesty does not kill me or harm my family. Instead, he asks the Thirteenth Prince about the new law. What does this mean?
Is it...

Does Your Majesty intend to abolish the old law and implement the new law? !

In this case, wouldn't I still have a chance of survival? ! !
According to the new law, people will no longer be sentenced to death easily. People like him who committed treason but did not cause any actual bad consequences can be pardoned or punished!
Absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible. Your Majesty is just asking Young Master Thirteen casually, right?

I have already committed treason to such an extent, how could Your Majesty let me go?

Li Si's heart was beating wildly. At this moment, a glimmer of hope for survival emerged in his originally desperate heart.

However, this hope seemed so incredible that he was at a loss for a moment.

The people outside the door were equally confused. What exactly happened?
Your Majesty did not immediately order the execution of Li Si?

Shouldn't the person who committed such a serious crime as treason be taken away directly to be executed by being torn apart by a chariot?
Why ask for other people’s opinions?

and many more!

Your Majesty is asking about Master Thirteen? !

Young Master Thirteen is also in the palace?

How come he was not thrown into jail by His Majesty?

Shouldn't he have had his legs broken and been thrown into prison by Your Majesty in Mount Li?
Why am I in the palace with Your Majesty at this moment?

When everyone was confused, Meng Tian suddenly spoke and remembered the will.

"Have you ever thought that perhaps His Majesty discovered that Prince Thirteen had intercepted the fake imperial edict and saved Prince Fusu's life, so he did not accuse Prince Thirteen of usurping the throne?"

"Oh~!!"

Everyone said in unison.

After Meng Tian said this, everyone suddenly understood.

In their impression, Prince Thirteen was a usurper.

But if the will was as he said, Prince Thirteen not only did not usurp the throne,

Instead, he publicly announced in front of all the officials that His Majesty did not leave a will in order to protect Prince Fusu and Meng Tian!

Not only did he not plot to usurp the throne, he also saved the Qin Dynasty with his own efforts!

It seems that Young Master Thirteen is not only innocent, but has made contributions.

and so!
That is why Your Majesty kept Prince Thirteen and asked him for advice.

This shows that His Majesty recognizes the ability of Prince Thirteen.

At the same time, he was full of curiosity about his new laws of the Qin Dynasty.
