After all, only if the First Emperor lived could he keep those villains and remnants of the six kingdoms in check!
Eliminate the remnants of the six kingdoms, allowing Fusu to smoothly succeed to the throne.
Then, benevolent governance was implemented, following a system of governance that combined Confucianism on the outside with Legalism on the inside.
In this way, although the Qin dynasty could not last forever, it should be able to last for two or three hundred years, or at least a hundred years.
And he could live peacefully in the Qin Dynasty, and who knows, he might accidentally change the world situation.
I've figured these things out.
He finally recovered and respectfully accepted the imperial edict, bowing repeatedly in gratitude, saying, "Your subject, Li Lin, was overjoyed just now and was astonished as if in a dream. Please forgive me, Your Excellency!"
"Phew, it's good that Li Zhongcheng has accepted the imperial decree. We'd like to go over for a cup of wedding wine on the third day of next month!"
"Haha, very well! When I hold my wedding banquet, I will definitely invite Eunuch Zhang to have a drink at my wedding!"
"Then it's settled. I won't bother you any longer. I'll return to the palace!"
The heavy weight on Zhang Mo's heart finally lifted, and soon he hurriedly led his men back to the palace.
Fearing that Li Lin might change his mind halfway, he led his men on a frantic run.
Normally it would take him half an hour to get back to the palace, but this time it only took him the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. It has to be said that people can unleash their unexpected potential in times of crisis.
"Congratulations to Vice Minister Li on becoming His Majesty's son-in-law!"
Congratulations!
"Li Zhongcheng is an outstanding man; he will surely rise to the rank of general and prime minister, and be granted a title and official seal one day!"
Just as the other ministers stepped forward to offer their congratulations,
Suddenly, a young man walked out from the side. He looked at Li Lin with a very bad expression, and there was even a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Lord Li, my father is very fond of you. I wonder if you will have time in the future? My father would very much like to meet you!"
"Who are you?"
Although Li Lin was Li Xin's younger brother, it didn't mean that Li Xin knew him after every one of Li Lin's achievements.
For example, he couldn't recall the name of the handsome, refined young man standing before him.
"Hahaha, you don't recognize me? But I do recognize you! Have you forgotten how you used to come to my house every day to look for my sister and go for a walk in the countryside?"
Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh.
The look in his eyes towards Li Lin softened slightly.
My sister is going on a spring outing?
Li Lin frowned, searching his mind for relevant memories, but it seemed that he could not recall this memory.
etc!
Could it be Li Yao?
He is Li Yao's older brother, and Li Si's eldest son, Li You.
Is he the man who married Princess Manyin in history?
No way!
This really is a case of enemies meeting again!
Who else does he think it is?
I never expected it to be him.
No wonder, no wonder his eyes were full of hostility when he looked at him just now, so that's why.
"Oh~ I remember now, you are Li Yao's older brother, Li You, right?"
Li Lin, who had already received the imperial edict, was no longer the same Li Lin as before. Before receiving the edict, he might have been indifferent to Princess Manyin's fate, but now he certainly wouldn't be.
He has already accepted the imperial edict.
According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, he was the prince consort of the Qin Dynasty, and he was already Princess Manyin's man, thus possessing legal standing.
So, he readily moved aside, smiling as he looked at Li You in front of him.
After all, his current official rank is much higher than Li You's cavalry captain.
"Your Excellency has a good memory, remembering me so quickly. Back then, when you wanted to be with Yao Yao, I wholeheartedly agreed, but unfortunately, my father disagreed. I never imagined that Your Excellency would be able to marry the princess. This is truly a cause for celebration!"
Li Youshai laughed for a moment, and when he opened his mouth, he was the old sarcasm master.
These words don't sound pleasant at all.
To climb the social ladder?
hehe!
Do I, Li Lin, need to be of such high status as to be associated with a princess?
This was something the First Emperor insisted on giving me; what could I do?
Li Lin shook his head noncommittally. He didn't have much feeling for Li Yao. After all, he wasn't the one who did what happened before; it was all Li Lin's own foolishness that led to this.
The relationship between Li Xin and Li Si deteriorated further, and the two families had little contact with each other.
Naturally, he no longer had any special feelings for Li Yao.
"Commander Li is quite accomplished at such a young age. He must be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight now, right? Hmm, he really is quite accomplished at such a young age. He's already been promoted to Cavalry Commandant. I wonder if Commander Li's rank at thirty will be comparable to mine?"
"Li Zhongcheng, you!"
"Today is my joyous day, Lieutenant Li. I don't care whether you've come here representing the Prime Minister or someone else behind you. I'm telling you right now, you're just a lowly lieutenant. You have no right to hold your head high in front of me. Show me some respect, understand?"
Upon seeing this, others all took several steps back.
They were afraid that the gods' fighting would harm innocent bystanders.
Li You knew the strictness of the Qin laws and the distinction between superiors and inferiors. Although he was very unwilling to lower his proud head, reality still ruthlessly forced him to do so.
"Your Excellency, I'm so sorry, I was being reckless just now!"
"Alright, I'll let this slide. This won't happen again. By the way, Commandant Li, go back and tell your Prime Minister that I, the Imperial Censor, stand with my elder brother. If my brother goes, I will naturally go; if he chooses not to go, I certainly won't go!"
"Okay, I understand!"
Li You left the Imperial Censor's residence unwillingly and hurriedly returned to the Prime Minister's residence.
At this moment, the Prime Minister's residence was brightly lit and bustling with noise, as if many distinguished guests had already arrived.
