"Meng Yi is the grandson of Meng Ao and the son of Meng Wu. His elder brother is the well-known Meng Tian. There is no clear record of his birth year in history books, but he should be not much younger than Your Majesty and Meng Tian. Meng Yi served as a senior minister in his early years and was known as a 'loyal minister.'
It is well known to everyone that the Meng family was highly valued by Ying Zheng. The misfortune occurred during the Shaqiu Incident of His Majesty. After His Majesty's death, Meng Yi returned from praying for blessings, only to receive the news of His Majesty's death. Hu Hai followed Zhao Gao's slander and imprisoned Meng Yi. After Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, Zhao Gao took great pains to frame the Meng brothers with various charges. In the end, both Meng brothers were persecuted to death.
In fact, there are still many grievances between Zhao Gao and the Meng brothers. We will talk about this later. As for me, I still want to say to you something that I have repeated before.
I would like to ask all the ministers of the Qin Dynasty to improve your political fighting skills. I really don’t understand how such capable people could be cut one by one by Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, two trash, like cutting watermelons.
To put it bluntly, the imperial system had just emerged at that time and the imperial power was not that great. Besides, my majesty was gone, and that trash Hu Hai was not my majesty. I can't understand how you, a group of wise and brave ministers, tolerated Hu Hai's nonsense in that position.
Your Majesty, shouldn't you give me a sense of crisis? Or should I show you how officials in later dynasties engaged in political struggles?
Zhou Jia really didn't understand and couldn't figure it out.
She could understand why Yue Fei, Xin Qiji and others were killed, and she even understood it very well, but when it came to the Qin Dynasty, she really didn't understand.
It's so hard to accept.
These normally capable people were killed so easily like naive idiots. If they had any smarts, they wouldn't have ended up so badly.
Qin
There was silence in the Xianyang Palace.
The ministers who were chatting and laughing just now now looked like eggplants hit by frost.
Thinking about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with what Zhou Jia said. They were all killed so easily. How could they save their dignity?
The only one who remained indifferent was Liu Ji. He looked at the ministers with drooping heads and said, "Your Majesty, I think what Miss Zhou Jia said makes sense. You guys are always so busy and confused. You can handle things, but you really can't handle this political struggle."
Liu Ji shook his head regretfully.
The next second, many pairs of eyes turned to look at him, all with unfriendly intent.
Liu Ji couldn't help but feel his heart froze. His body stiffened, and a chill ran down his spine. He stammered as he moved towards Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I suddenly have a headache. Can I rest with you? No, can I have the honor of staying by your side for a while?"
He was scared.
None of these people in the palace are easy to deal with.
He was afraid that if he didn't quickly cling to Ying Zheng's support, he would be torn to pieces by these people.
Ying Zheng glanced at the angry crowd below and shook his head helplessly, "You guys can handle it yourselves."
He doesn't care about these things.
But he took Zhou Jia's words to heart.
He is reflecting.
It's not just about his attitude towards his ministers, but also his attitude towards his children.
Otherwise, why do they all seem so smart in normal times, but are killed so easily when the critical moment comes?
It's really a bit too weird.
What went wrong?
Ying Zheng reflected on himself.
Seeing that he did not interfere in this matter, Liu Ji looked bitter.
I thought to myself: This is the end, I’m going to be nagged to death by them.
really.
The next second, Wang Ben grabbed his collar and dragged him to the main hall, where he was surrounded by Wang Jian and others.
Ying Zheng did not try to stop their mischievous thoughts, but instead looked at the screen while reflecting on himself.
A little further ahead in time and space, Ying Quliang and others heard Zhou Jia's words and thought for a moment.
"Actually, to be honest, it seems like it wasn't just Zheng'er's time. I think the political struggles among our subordinates aren't that big of a deal right now. What do you think, Shangjun?"
Ying Quliang looked at Shang Yang. After hearing what Zhou Jia said, he felt that his ministers did not seem to be very good at political struggles.
Shang Yang looked at Ying Quliang expressionlessly, "Your Majesty, do you really think that we can't afford to have political infighting among our officials?"
Ying Quliang turned his head and saw these words written on Shang Yang's face: Say it again while looking at my face!
Looking at his face, Ying Quliang suddenly realized what was wrong with what he said, and immediately looked at Shang Yang with guilt, "Shang Jun, it's my fault. I have wronged you."
Ying Quliang was really sad and angry, especially because of his rebellious son.
Shang Yang, whom he held in his hands and protected with great care, was actually ordered to be torn to pieces by that rebellious son!
hateful!
Ying Quliang became so angry that he wanted to hit the child.
Shang Yang was also troubled for a long time when he knew his final outcome. Since he knew that his future would be like that, was his method really necessary?
Moreover, many people in later generations believed that his reforms were problematic, that he exhausted and ignorant the people, and that he was a sinner of China.
So, should you continue with your reforms knowing that they will offend many people and will ultimately lead to being torn to pieces?
Shang Yang thought about it for a whole night, and even when he sat alone at dawn, he still had no clear answer in his mind.
Although he is still sitting in front of Ying Quliang and is still the Shang Jun of the Qin Dynasty, he is still confused about the follow-up of this reform and whether they should continue.
Everyone is afraid of death.
He is no exception.
"My Lord, I know how you treat me."
