Chapter 395 Night Tour of Xianyang City
Hu Hai was so satisfied with the wife whom his brother gave him marriage. He just saw that he was much stronger than some of the dancers and maids he had played with before. After staying in Xianyang Palace for a long time, even the dozens of wives before his father, there were very few who could catch up with Qi Yi.
The guards sent by Ying Gao had already told Hu Hai that although Qi Yi was not a nobleman, he had excellent dancing skills and could read and write. With her charming appearance, Hu Hai should be satisfied. But now that he saw the real person, Hu Hai didn't care much about her background.
Qi Yi could not feel Ying Gao's confidence and calmness in Hu Hai at all. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, why are there such a big difference between them all the sons of the First Emperor?
But of course Qi Yi would not write this sigh on her face. She could only make a secret decision in her heart that the humiliation she suffered in Xianyang Palace would definitely be retrieved once she had the chance. She wanted the emperor to know that she was better than Tian Yan.
In this era, there was an imperial edict from the emperor that even if the marriage between the two of them was justified, Hu Hai also remembered Ying Gao's words and knew that since his brother had said it, it was very likely that he would appear in his mansion. So he ordered the servants in the mansion to speed up the banquet in case of emergency.
Sure enough, one night, I thought Hu Hai's brother had arrived at his mansion. Not only did he give him his gift, but he also acted very close to Hu Hai.
The second, the third, half an hour later, there were a dozen princes and princesses from the Qin Dynasty. Of course, the most eye-catching one was the emperor's younger sister, Yang Zi.
Of course, whether it was Yang Zi or other princesses, they all received notifications from Xianyang Palace. Only then did they feel that Hu Hai's mansion had received the news that Ying Gao would also appear here.
In fact, Ying Gao did appear here, but it was already the end of the banquet. He did not stay in Hu Hai's mansion, but instead congratulated Hu Hai with Tian Yan, but everyone's eyes fell more on Tian Yan.
Originally, they thought that Qi Yi, who Ying Gao gave Hu Hai, was already a stunning person in the world, and Qi Yi was still quite useful in the envious eyes. However, at this time, Tian Yan actually appeared beside him and took the light away from him again, which made Qi Yi's heart worse.
After a wave of hatred, Ying Gao took Tian Yan out of Hu Hai's mansion. Because Hu Hai's mansion was not far from Xianyang Palace, Ying Gao did not get on the carriage like he did when he came, but walked side by side with Tian Yan in the street market in Xianyang.
The reason why he dared to do this was because at this time, Xianyang City was a curfew, and there was no one on the street. In addition to the Qin soldiers patrolling with spears, there were also the guards who were protecting them not far behind the two.
This scene made Ying Gao suddenly think that he dreamed of returning to his previous life. After having evening study with his favorite classmate in college, he was walking on the way to send her back to the dormitory from the library. Obviously, Ying Gao had never experienced such a relaxed mentality since he reached this era.
"Do you know, why did I bring you here today?" After a moment of silence, Ying Gao spoke first. He had already seen that Tian Yan had definitely not lost his thoughts in his heart, but it was really difficult to ask her to speak first.
In fact, Ying Gao also knew that she did not deny it, but just admitted her guess. Tian Yan, who was walking beside her, was the Korean disciple in Cao's mansion who sent her to assassinate her. However, she was really not very successful as an assassin. Not only did she reveal too many flaws in front of Ying Gao, the monkey spirit, but she also had doubts about whether the assassination was right.
It was through her view of the new policy that Ying Gao saw her true intentions. With her beauty, Ying Gao naturally decided to give her a chance. Moreover, Ying Gao himself didn't know what was going on. Just Tian Yan's slightly melancholy eyes looked at him, and he felt inexplicably confident. Isn't this my woman? How could she hurt me!
"In order to make Hu Hai, who is not very popular among the many princes and princesses, be treated fairly."
Tian Yan didn't even look at Ying Gao, but looked at the large and small things on Xianyang City, either exquisite or rough, rich or ordinary mansions, as if he wanted to see through these mansions how the people of Xianyang City lived.
"That's just a matter of course. Hu Hai won't let me go there myself."
"That is to take a look at the princess named Yangzi. Her relationship with the Lord is really different from that of others."
After Ying Gao denied her answer, Tian Yan did not look angry on his face, but gave another answer. Obviously, although she had been following Ying Gao without any expression, it was a bit difficult to hide what happened around her from her keen eyes that had been cultivated since childhood.
"That is my only sister who is the same as my father and mother. My relationship with me is naturally different. But if I miss Yang Zi, I can naturally call her back to Xianyang Palace to reunite at any time. The palace in the north of your palace is owned by Yang Zi. Even if she married the palace, I will still keep it for her."
"Since that's the case, Tian Yan doesn't know."
"Is it leaving the palace this time? In fact, I want to take a look at Xianyang City. Although it is already a curfew at this time, I believe that with your eyesight, I can still see a lot of things. Since I want to prove like you that I am a wise monarch, I naturally cannot let you see what you see in Xianyang Palace every day. Of course, I cannot do the real thing."
Ying Gao said as he looked at Tian Yan's eyes. Sure enough, when Ying Gao said that he was for her, her eyes trembled slightly, and this detail still made Ying Gao very useful.
"What the Lord means is that if I want to leave the palace, I can see everything in Xianyang City at any time?"
"It's not entirely true. You can't leave the palace alone, but it's not impossible if you are accompanied by me or your wife. It's just that there is one thing. After you enter the palace, your accomplices are very likely to sneak into Xianyang City to wait for news. I can stop killing these people for the time being. When you accept the loss of your bet, I will give you a chance to persuade them. If it fails, there will be no mercy."
This sentence finally made Tian Yan see the majesty of the Emperor of Qin. She finally realized that this emperor did not seem to be as good as everyone else. Also, he seemed to have extremely strong confidence in himself as a wise monarch...
After returning to Xianyang Palace, Ying Gao still let Tian Yan return to his hall, and he went to Feng Qing's bedroom to rest.
"Your Majesty can really bear it with such a beauty in that palace?"
Seeing that Ying Gao was back to his bedroom when he was sleeping, Feng Qing's heart was sweet, but he still couldn't help but joke about Ying Gao. Feng Qing had never seen anyone like Ying Gao before. Tian Yan should be the only one.
"I am the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, so I am naturally a word. Besides, Tian Yan is just an ordinary woman, very immature, how can there be such a considerate wife..."
Just this sentence alone, Ying Gao successfully blocked Feng Qing's mouth, and naturally he was very busy that night.
In the next half month, Ying Gao really had no time to accompany Tian Yan out to wander around Xianyang City because he ushered in a major event that he had been preparing for for a long time and the promulgation of a new round of new policies.
After Chen Ping and Lu Jia lost their way out, they almost perfected the details in the new policy.
They knew that the only thing they could do was to satisfy the emperor. As for the results and the impact they could have after the promulgation of the new policy, they could not control it. The only thing they could be sure of was that they would be scolded by the inheritors of various schools of thought as soon as the new policy was released.
Although Ying Gao had already explained to them that he would not pursue any of the secrets, as long as he publicly said that the new policy was not good in the lecture place, he would be sorry to either build the Great Wall or die. However, Chen Ping and Lu Jia still knew very well that the day the new policy was released was the time when they became public enemies of scholars.
What Ying Gao himself cares about is not whether Chen Ping and Lu Jia were scolded or not. What he cares about is the impact of the new policy on the current Qin Dynasty.
What Chen Ping and Lu Jia didn't know was that when they were calculating the new policy, Xiao He had never been idle, and what he was doing was more important than the two of them.
Qin Lu is the only thing that the people from Qin to Qin will seriously study. What Xiao He is doing is to delete some things that Ying Gao believes are not reflected in the Qin Lu after Qin Lu, and then refine the ideas of the new policy and add them.
The Qin Rule in the past was basically telling the people of the Qin Dynasty what you can't do and what will happen if you do it. Of course, the lighter one is to tattoo the face, the heavier one is to cut off the ears, hands, feet, etc., and even more so, it is to die. The most important thing is to die as much as cruel as possible.
It is understandable that Ying Gao committed a serious crime and died in his heart. However, the punishment of being cut off, his fingers, his arms and legs is not something Ying Gao could accept. The Qin law mentioned later in life is not only because it stipulates very detailedly, but also because of the cruelty of its punishment.
In fact, Ying Gao was just trying to see if the people of the Qin Dynasty could accept the modification of Qin's laws.
But the facts have proved that if it does not have too much impact on the lives of the people, the people will not care about you. Instead, some nobles hidden in the dark will jump out and say a few words because their interests are infringed.
So this time Ying Gao simply let go. First, he ordered Xiao He to delete all the punishments for cutting off the parts on his body. With the crimes he committed remained unchanged, all the punishments were changed to corvee service. The worst case was lifelong corvee service.
Ying Gao has not changed this part of the death penalty, because according to the current situation, as long as there is no serious crime such as treason, it is impossible to be a beheading. The county magistrate and the county magistrate are unwilling to torture a person with torture like dismembering the body of five horses. They are also afraid of retribution, right? So Ying Gao still thinks it is necessary to scare some guys with ulterior motives.
In addition, it is the highlight of Ying Gao's revision of Qin Rules this time. With this revision, Ying Gao also added what you must do to Qin Rules.
At least so far, these things are only aimed at some powerful people. First of all, the matter of lectures is changed from the spontaneous behavior of some outstanding people from various schools to the official behavior of the Qin Dynasty. Ying Gao stipulated that in addition to spontaneous lectures, there must be at least one lecture hall in each county, and at least three elites from various schools should be permanently housed in the hall, and the children in the county should be taught continuously every day. If supervision is not favorable, the county magistrate will directly become the head of Guizhou.
Furthermore, there are layers of commutation conditions for those who have obtained the sentence of service. Of course, these conditions are extremely harsh, but anyone who can complete them can be called talents, and Ying Gao is needed for such a person.
In addition, there is another one that was considered a devastating blow to the nobles, and was also put into the Qin and Qin rules by Ying Gao, that is, the Qin territory, and the existence of the disciples is prohibited. From the date of the issuance of the new Qin rules, if the existence of the disciples is found, then all the people of this clan will have to serve, which means that the identity of this nobleman will be directly deprived of.
If this is said, of course, it is because there was an assassin among the disciples of the Cao clan. Ying Gao would definitely not be ruthless about such things that may cause harm to his own safety.
On this day, there were only three days left before the release of the new policy and the new Qin Rule. Xiao He was sitting in Ying Gao's hall with a serious face. Ying Gao, holding the Qin Rule he had just seen, showed a smile on his face.
"The Zuo Prime Minister has clearly understood what I am thinking. If he really wants to do this, he may have taken out such Qin Ruo half a month ago, right?"
"Although Qin Rule changed according to what the Lord said, according to my opinion, the Lord's many matters are still a little anxious..."
Obviously, Xiao He said this and was very serious.
But Ying Gao's next words made Xiao He completely silent.
