Chapter 139: Another nickname like this! ?
"This is the "One Whip" method written by me, please have a look, Father."

Ying Ziye took out a thick memorial and prepared to present it to Ying Zheng.

"Let Li Si read it to everyone, and let the ministers in the court listen to it as well." Ying Zheng glanced at the court officials with a sharp look, ready to use Ying Ziye's "one whip" method to intimidate the court.

Although he had not yet seen the specific content of the decree, he had unconditional trust in Ying Ziye.

His son never did anything without certainty.

"As ordered!"

Li Si stepped forward, his brows filled with joy. He had been dreaming of being able to recite the Legalists' magnum opus in this court!

He coughed lightly and spoke slowly:
"This is the 'One Whip' method! First, measure the land of Daqin."

“Second, unify taxation”

"Third,"

The "One Whip" method flowed from Li Si's mouth like a stream and poured into the ears of Ying Zheng and his ministers.

Their eyes gradually widened, and shock spread in their pupils!

His eyes sparkled and his expression was full of admiration!
Who among those who can gain a foothold in the court is not a talented person who is well-read in poetry and books?
Even those who are not legalists can hear the hidden meaning behind this decree - this is a masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages and will go down in history!

Han Fei was extremely excited, his cheeks flushed. If he had not been in the court, he would have cheered out loud!

This "One Whip" method can be regarded as the supreme masterpiece of the Legalists!

Inside the Zhangtai Palace, the main hall was solemn.

Li Si's voice continued to echo, Ying Zheng, Han Fei and all the officials were dumbfounded and immersed in it!

This "one whip" decree was beyond their expectations and went straight to the core of the Qin Dynasty's land annexation issue.

for a long time
Li Si's voice gradually faded away, and the decree was finished.

However.
Ying Zheng, Han Fei, and all the officials are still intoxicated by the ingenuity of "One Whip" and cannot extricate themselves!
After a while.
"Wonderful!"

An excited shout, like thunder, awakened everyone in the court from their shock.

The only one who dared to lose his composure like this in the court was Ying Zheng!
I saw.

On the throne, Ying Zheng's majestic face was filled with smiles, excitement and joy.

He was originally a supporter of the Legalist school of thought, otherwise he would not have taken Legalism as the basis for governing the Qin Dynasty.

once Upon a time.

He admired Han Fei's brilliant legal theories and tried to recruit Han Fei to work for him many times, but Han Fei was concerned about his homeland and never served Qin Shi Huang.

Until later.

Only after the world was unified did Han Fei decide to pledge his loyalty to Ying Ziye and work for the Qin Dynasty.

In this regard, Ying Zheng relied heavily on Han Fei and never had any doubts about him because he was a son of the old Han dynasty - trust a person and do not doubt him, and do not employ a person you doubt!

This is the courage of Emperor Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng. He has the confidence to control any minister!

Originally, Ying Zheng thought that Han Fei's legal articles were unparalleled in the world, and only Li Si could be compared to him.

Now, his son Ying Ziye has brought him such a huge surprise, and his first move is a king bomb!

It seems at the moment.

This "One Whip" decree has become a classic of Legalism, a pinnacle of work, surpassing all legal literature in the past century!
"My son, you are a great talent!"

"A rare genius!"

"Comparable to Confucius, the sage of Confucianism, Laozi, the sage of Taoism, and Mozi, my son Yezi should be a sage of law!"

Ying Zheng's words were exactly the same as Li Si's. He believed that Ying Ziye could be regarded as a contemporary legal sage, and was as famous as Confucius, Laozi, Mozi and other masters of hundreds of schools of thought, and enjoyed the same reputation.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"This "One Whip" decree is a masterpiece of all time. Your Highness deserves the title of Saint of Law, Ye Zi!" "Han Fei, as a descendant of the Legalists, I am honored to meet Saint of Law, Ye Zi!"

Han Fei instantly became a loyal supporter of Ying Ziye. As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, he couldn't wait to acknowledge Ying Ziye's status.

Li Si was not willing to be outdone.

"Disciple Ji Si, as a disciple of the Fa School, pays respect to the Fa Saint Ye Zi!"

Seeing the two Legalist giants saluting, the Legalist disciples in the Ministry of Justice followed suit.

"Your humble servant pays respect to the Saint Yezi of the Law!!!"

There was an uproar!
At this moment, Ying Ziye was completely confused, his thoughts were a tangled mess, and a buzzing sound echoed in his ears.

Ye Zi? Oh my god!

Ying Ziye was completely confused. He didn't know when his father Zulong gave him such a bizarre name!

Li Si, Han Fei, and even all the Legalist officials in the court actually agreed with it!

This is too bizarre! ?

I just wanted to correct the ills of the Qin Empire and make the country more prosperous and powerful. How did I become a Dharma Sage for no apparent reason and get a nickname like this?! ?
When the Confucian official Chunyu Yue saw this scene, he felt as sad as if he had swallowed two large baskets of lemons.

He had always dreamed of establishing Confucianism as the way of governing the Qin Dynasty, and for this purpose he spared no effort to support the eldest prince Fusu for more than ten years.

However, the result?
like water off a duck's back!

The status of Confucian officials in the court was increasingly marginalized. They were only responsible for some ceremonial affairs. Perhaps they could be used in sacrifices to spread the concept of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

They have been completely excluded from the core of power!
once.

Confucianism and Legalism could still compete with each other in the court.

now.

The Legalists took the lead.

Crown Prince Ying Ziye is also known as the Legalist Saint Ye Zi. It can be predicted that the status of Legalism in the Qin Empire will be as solid as a rock!

Confucianism can no longer be the basis for governing the Qin Dynasty!

At this moment, Chunyu Yue no longer had much expectations for Fusu!

Compared with Ying Ziye!

There's a world of difference between them, just like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon; they're not on the same level at all!

Compared with the Legalists Han Fei, Li Si and others who were ecstatic, the Confucians Chunyu Yue and others were dejected, and officials from aristocratic families such as Feng Quji, Feng Jie, Sima Jin and others were heartbroken, frightened and shocked!
no doubt!

Once this "one whip" law is implemented, the first to bear the brunt will be these hereditary families with a long history!
Generations of protection enabled their family to own vast lands and numerous servants.

Once the "One Whip" law is implemented, the land of Daqin will be remeasured, the population will be counted, and taxes will be levied based on the number of people and the amount of land. They will have to pay an astonishing amount every year!

Money is secondary, as these aristocratic families are not short of money.

However.
With the implementation of the "One Whip" law, their land and servants hidden in the dark will be exposed. This is a serious crime!

Qin law is strict!

Even if you don't die, you will be skinned! .
"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Highness, this 'whip' is indeed extremely ingenious and unprecedented, but..."

"In the former lands of Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, Chu and Qi, there are still many descendants of the old nobles. Once this law is implemented, it may affect their fundamental interests and provoke their resistance. The empire may fall into turmoil!"

Feng Quji was full of concerns. He did not want to anger Ying Ziye, but also did not want the decree to be carried out in one fell swoop. So he raised objections on the grounds that the nobles of the six countries were his own, hoping that Ying Zheng would veto the decree for the sake of the overall situation.

however……

Feng Quji forgot what kind of person Ying Ziye was!
Not to mention that he has become an immortal, even if he has never reached the immortal realm before, he can still suppress everything!
