Chapter 341: Rebuilding Qin Law
"You always agree to these things so easily, but you still don't change your mind next time."
Zhao Yuanxi watched You busying around the house and listened to her mumbling, feeling helpless and in the way.
But she couldn't help laughing.
Seeing her smile, Youzi started to smile too for some reason, "I am here to comb your hair. What hairstyle would you like to have today?"
"Go out for a walk today, just comb your hair in any way you like!"
"Where would you like to go today?"
"Has the emperor left court?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't returned yet, but it looks like the court meeting should be over by now."
The system always said that she was lazy, but Zhao Yuanxi really felt that she was not lazy and she was very serious about the strategy.
For the past six months, she shared all the good things she ate, drank, and had fun with the emperor, but her favorability score remained unchanged. Is this probably the so-called marginal effect?
She had never been a mother, nor had she been a daughter for long. In fact, she might have lacked the mother-son relationship even more than Ying Zheng.
Zhao Yuanxi raised his eyes and looked at the busy person in the mirror, "You, do you like your mother?"
You smiled and said, "I like it. My mother is the most capable, much more capable than me. When I was little, I always thought she knew everything!"
"What now?"
"Now I think the Queen Mother is the most powerful!"
Zhao Yuanxi was not satisfied with this answer. How could he think that someone could be more powerful than his mother? Not even her!
What's more, everyone has their own strengths, and she may not be able to do what your mother can do.
"So do you still like her?"
"Of course. Although my mother's eyesight isn't very good now and she can't do anything, she is still the most important person in my heart."
She is also the most important one in Ying Zheng's heart. Zhao Yuanxi is proud in her heart. At least this is enough to prove that she is a qualified mother.
"We'll go to Zhangtai Palace later!"
You understood what the empress dowager meant, and immediately combed her hair into a high bun. She wore a white jade carved Huasheng on the front of the bun. Because Zhao Yuanxi didn't like to carry too many things, she only inserted two small jade combs and gold hairpins on the side. Although simple, it was still solemn.
Zhangtai Palace is located in Shanglinyuan, and Afang Palace is also located in Shanglinyuan. Standing on the high point of Zhangtai Palace and looking into the distance, you can see the large open space where Afang Palace is built in the distance.
Zhao Yuanxi was also looking forward to what this palace, which had never been built in history, would look like. This would probably be the most expensive gift in the world.
On the other side, court officials came out of the hall one after another. Zhao Yuanxi saw that they all looked heavy-hearted and felt strange. He looked for a long time but didn't see Li Si. He thought that Ying Zheng had kept him here.
"Lord Changping, Lord Changping!" The palace maid stopped Mi Qi who was about to leave.
Mi Qi turned around in confusion and saw the Queen Mother standing on the high corridor, waving at him. He looked around, adjusted his crown, and then followed the palace maid's instructions and walked up to the Queen Mother.
"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."
"What's going on today? Why do you all look so sad? Did the emperor scold you?"
Mi Qi looked at her deeply and asked, "Doesn't the Queen Mother know?"
Zhao Yuanxi looked innocent. She saw that he was also concerned about her affairs. Although she had indeed colluded with Ying Zheng to deceive these ministers several times, she really didn't know about it this time.
"Isn't Han Fei someone sent by the Queen Mother? Your Majesty is following Han Fei's advice and intends to revise the Qin laws. The two Prime Ministers and the Court Justice are currently discussing this matter with Your Majesty in the rear hall."
Zhao Yuanxi really couldn't refute this matter. Revision of the law was something she had wanted to do a long time ago, but Qin law was the foundation of the Qin State. Ying Zheng disagreed, and she had no choice, so the matter remained on hold.
Mi Qi saw the Queen Mother smiling and said quietly, "You still say this matter has nothing to do with you?"
"This matter does have something to do with me, but it's not a bad thing for the Qin State. The Qin laws are to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and to serve the people. But now that the war has stopped, it's time to govern the country for the people."
War should not be the result, but a means to achieve the goal. Now that the goal has been achieved, the Qin chariot should stop, and the Qin law is the key to driving this chariot. Without changing the Qin law, the Qin State cannot settle down.
"I have no objection to this matter, but the two prime ministers and the court judge disagree. Moreover, all officials are also worried that if the strict laws are relaxed, the people will be in chaos. If that happens, the people will not be able to live in peace and the country will be in chaos."
Zhao Yuanxi understood what he meant and nodded slightly to Mi Qi in gratitude. "This matter does require careful consideration. Don't worry! The Emperor is well aware of this!"
The Qin State is now like a taut spring, and the Qin Law is the weight on it. Once this weight is removed, the energy released will be enough to destroy everyone.
But Zhao Yuanxi is not a reckless person, and neither is Ying Zheng. They must be aware of the interests involved.
"Okay, go back first!"
Mi Qi bowed and said, "Then I will take my leave."
Zhao Yuanxi thought about it and asked someone to invite Han Fei over. Because Han Fei's health had not been very good, Ying Zheng exempted him from the daily court meetings, so Han Fei would rarely come here unless there were special circumstances. But now he had to come even if he didn't want to.
Although she also understood some Qin laws, she now had to face Li Si and the two prime ministers of Qin, so she had to find some help. If Zhang Liang had not offended Ying Zheng, she might have been able to get more help.
She also called Zhang Cang. Han Fei was not good at speaking, but Zhang Cang was good at talking, and the two were very familiar with each other.
Three on three, very good and fair.
The rear hall of Zhangtai Palace——
"Your Majesty, the way to strengthen a country is to weaken its people. Shang Yang once said, 'When the people are prosperous, they are at peace; when they are at peace, they are lazy; when they are lazy, they do not fight!' We must understand that we are born in adversity and die in comfort. Your Majesty, by changing the laws of Qin, you are tantamount to cutting off your own limbs!"
"What the court judge said is a bit excessive, but it also makes sense. Although the world is now unified, the old people of the six kingdoms still have the will to destroy our Qin. To the north there are the Xiongnu, to the south there are the Baiyue. Today's peace is all due to the Qin laws that intimidate the world. If the Qin laws are rashly amended, it will surely cause unrest and unrest in the world."
"Han Fei's advice is not to make Qin rich and strong, but to destroy Qin's current favorable situation. His intentions are sinister and he deserves death!"
"Strict laws can make the people submit for a while, but how can they make them submit forever?" Zhao Yuanxi walked out quickly, his eyes lingering on the three people.
Wang Guan, Feng Quji and Li Si were all stunned. They did not expect the Queen Mother to appear suddenly. When they saw Han Fei behind the Queen Mother, their brows furrowed even more tightly.
Ying Zheng was getting annoyed by the three of them arguing, but when he saw the queen mother coming, he relaxed a lot, "The queen mother is here."
Zhao Yuanxi glanced at him. She came to help him, but why did he look like he was just watching the fun?
