Chapter 138 The First Emperor thought Zhao Si was not a loyal minister!

"Whoosh!"

Between the lightning and flint, accompanied by the sound of piercing the sky, an arrow flew straight from Wang Li's head and was nailed to the tree as thick as a bowl. The entire arrow missed nearly one-third.

"Zhao Si!"

"Where are you shooting!"

Wang Li looked at the arrow tail that was still shaking slightly and turned around.

"I shot it wrong..." Zhao Si laughed awkwardly twice.

"What's going on with you today?" Wang Li looked at Zhao Si strangely and came closer, circling around Zhao Si.

"Today your archery is nine times out of ten, you shouldn't..." Wang Li frowned.

Wang Li knew Zhao Si's archery skills well. He could shoot a three-stone hard bow. Basically, he could shoot wherever he pointed, and he would hit the target nine times out of ten. But today, he really couldn't hit the target no matter how hard he shot.

"My heart is confused..." Zhao Si threw the bow and arrow to the ground, then looked up at the sky.

Within the palace...

The First Emperor was lying on the rocking chair. Now, it was the First Emperor's lunch break.

However, after Zhao Si left, the First Emperor's sleep became visibly slower, and his mind was also thinking about the strategy of strengthening the trunk and weak branches that Zhao Si said.

"The foundation of Great Qin has never been the public clans, but the people of Old Qin!"

"Your Majesty, this is war!"

"The only thing I can do is to die in front of His Majesty..."

There is a sharp contrast between the high-spirited Zhao Si in the first half and the grim and resistant image in the second half.

"It's quite honest..." The First Emperor smiled.

Thinking of being chased, Zhao Si had a sad face, as if he was mourning for his concubine. Although it was slightly offensive, it still made the First Emperor couldn't help but laugh.

In fact, Zhao Si is very self-aware.

Relocating the old nobles of the six countries, strengthening the branches and strengthening the weak branches, and centralizing power are national policies, and Zhao Si cannot do it with his ability.

Zhao Si's self-perception is correct. With his current level, he can be a good official, but he is still far behind as a practical official.

The First Emperor never thought of handing the heavy responsibility to Zhao Si. In fact, this was just a bad taste of the First Emperor.

Zhao Si liked to hide his clumsiness, and would naturally put away his edges when he showed a little ease. The First Emperor's original intention was just to put some pressure on Zhao Si, so that Zhao Si could say everything he was thinking.

The suggestion was made by Zhao Si, and the First Emperor was moved by it, so it was understandable that Zhao Si should try his best to fill in the details and ideas.

Zhao Si really opened up a new way of thinking and a new direction for the First Emperor, so much so that the First Emperor was even more determined at this moment.

The First Emperor never attributed the merits of the overthrow of the Six Kingdoms to himself, nor did he ever think of denying the merits of his ancestors and monopolizing them.

The remaining heroes of Fen Sixth Generation were personally recognized by the First Emperor himself.

He didn't bother to deny the achievements of his ancestors, and he would never rest on his existing achievements. However, the Six Kingdoms had been destroyed, and there were really few opponents that the First Emperor could face.

But it was Zhao Si, a young man in his early twenties, who said something that aroused the interest of the First Emperor.

People in the world think that the Warring States Period was a time of great strife when countries frequently fought against each other. But Zhao Si said that now is a time of great strife.

Zhao Si said that now is the moment of great change in China that has never happened in thousands of years.

"Summon Li Si into the palace!"

The First Emperor stood up from the recliner. In the midst of his boring daily work, there was a rare thing that could cheer him up again. The original calm mood of the First Emperor actually fluctuated.

Yes... the First Emperor had no intention of leaving this matter to Zhao Si from the very beginning.

Not enough status, not enough status, not enough power, not enough prestige, not enough energy.

Zhao Si is just a tool to save time in planning preparation...

In fact, the First Emperor did it on purpose, wanting to hear what Zhao Si was thinking, but unexpectedly he got an unexpected surprise.

…

Zhao Gao took the order, and within a few moments, Li Si was summoned to the palace.

"Move the old nobles from the Six Kingdoms into the Pass?" Li Si groped his short beard.

Li Si has a beautiful beard, but unfortunately, his beard is not very long, but it is very precious.

Whenever he is deep in thought, it is Li Si's habit to rub his precious beard.

"This... is not a bad idea." Li Simo stroked his beard.

In fact, Li Si is not a serious old Qin person. Li Si's ancestral home is Shangcai, Chu State. However, there are not many career opportunities in Chu State, so he came all the way to Xianyang.

Seriously speaking, Li Si was a noble from the Chu Kingdom, and his butt should sit with the nobles of the Six Kingdoms.

In fact, this is indeed the case. South Korea once sent hydraulic engineer Zheng Guo to Qin to help Qin build Zheng Guo Canal. In fact, it was to consume Qin's national power. Later, after the purpose was exposed, the officials had great opinions on the foreign guests and believed that they were not

He sincerely helped Qin, but had ulterior motives. Therefore, the First Emperor issued an expulsion order and expelled the guest officials from the six countries.

Therefore, Li Si wrote the famous book of remonstrance and expulsion, speaking out for the justice of the six kingdoms in Qin. As a result, the First Emperor revoked the expulsion order, and Li Si was awarded the title of Tingwei.

At first glance, this old nobleman who moved to the Six Kingdoms seems to be hostile to the nobles who came from the Six Kingdoms.

But this is not the case, and Li Si has now fully integrated into the political ecosystem of Da Qin.

In fact, after Li Si ascended the throne and the First Emperor unified the world, Li Si was the one who dealt the hardest blow to the old aristocrats of the Six Kingdoms.

There were not a few old nobles from the Six Kingdoms who were executed by Li Si, and more than ten of them were killed by Li Si after the Qin unified the world.

When he destroyed Yan, Li Si also advised him to kill all the nobles of the Yan Kingdom who were worth more than 2,000 shi, but Li Si personally carried out this task and charged them one by one.

Li Si studied under Xunzi, but he truly turned from Confucianism to Legalism. How could he lack understanding of Shang Jun, his predecessor?

Many of Li Si's actions were imitated by Shang Yang, but the Qin that now encompasses the world is completely different from the Qin that once was just a Guanzhong.

Li Si has not embarked on his own path of innovation. He is taking action, but the efficiency is too slow.

But Li Si just went in the wrong direction and was not a fool.

When the First Emperor spoke, Li Si was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he became more and more able to understand the meaning.

This is a transition from walking over to letting them come over.

In the past, Li Si's idea was to train Qin officials, implement policies step by step, and push them from place to place to gather power and strengthen centralization.

The idea of ​​​​moving the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms into the Guanzhong was to let them go to Guanzhong to accept the rule and accept the laws of Qin. Through the short vacuum period caused by the migration of the nobles in the local area, the Central Government of Qin quickly gathered power.

And this does not conflict with Li Si's strategic deployment.

It does not mean that if the old nobles from the six countries move to the customs, they must give up the current policy.

The two can be carried out at the same time. The laws of Qin must be cultivated and the laws and regulations must be popularized.

Li Si's national policy was slow and step-by-step. Although it was slow, it was more solid. As long as there was enough time and enough Qin officials were trained, sooner or later the Qin Dynasty would all be like Guanzhong.

But it's too slow...

The current governance of Guanzhong is the result of the efforts of the six generations of Qin kings.

What Li Si did is not something that can be accomplished in one generation.

Moving old nobles from the six countries into the customs can greatly shorten the time.

What was originally a hundred or two hundred years was accomplished in a dozen years.

This is a strategy to draw fire from under the cauldron!

This strategy is also absolutely a poisonous strategy!

Li Si was not dazzled by the prospect. He was the left prime minister and could see the risks at a glance.

If you are not careful, the Six Kingdoms will be restored!

This is a dangerous move in the real sense of the military!

The nobles of the Six Nations were not fools, so Li Si instantly thought of several ways to develop this strategy.

"Summoning me into Guanzhong with false officials? No, it's the big nobles who want to move. They don't like the false officials here. In the end, they still have to fight against each other!"

"The nobles of the six countries must move to another place first? No... With the current situation, a single move can affect the whole body. The old nobles of the six countries are not fools."

"Calling someone with great righteousness? That's not okay..."

This strategy was good, but Li Si couldn't remember how to get the old nobles from the six countries to move their families to Guanzhong obediently. Could it be possible to give them benefits?

Just kidding, letting them come is for their own benefit, not for their benefit.

"Hiss! Your Majesty... I dare to ask Your Majesty, who proposed this strategy?" Li Si thought about it, but for a while he couldn't think of a way to avoid the risk.

"Why do you ask?" The First Emperor glanced at Li Si.

"Although this strategy is good, it is too dangerous... When I first heard about this strategy, I had an idea in my mind, but I couldn't find a solution for a while." Li Si said.
