Chapter 33 Impeached Again
The next day, Li Si left Chang'an Township and reported to Li Si.
"Sir, great news! Li Zhao dared to force Xiao He, a foreign student, destroyed his classics, criticized his fighting spirit, and even asked Shimoda to catch insects. This is a typical example of mistreating students."
The haze in Li Siting's eyes disappeared, revealing surprise.
"This is true."
"It's absolutely true. The villain saw it clearly. The student Xiao He was even more furious. However, he was held captive by the slaves and could not escape. He must hate Li Zhao to the core at this moment."
Li Siyin laughed, "That's really a good thing! Li Zhao is dead."
At the end of the court meeting, after discussing the report, Ying Zheng asked a routine question.
"Do you still have any memorials?"
Since being tricked by Li Zhao last time, Li Si found that his status in His Majesty's mind has been greatly reduced. His Majesty usually likes to seek his opinion on everything, but recently he has not summoned him, but instead took advantage of Feng Quji.
This is all caused by Li Zhao. He wants to restore His Majesty's trust, and Li Zhao cannot let him go.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Li Si stood up, bowed and said.
Ying Zheng didn't look good and waved his hand.
"Something's coming up."
"promise!"
Li Si organized his language, showed grief and indignation, and said: "I want to impeach Li Zhao."
Ying Zheng put on a slightly serious face, secretly thinking that this beast just had no good intentions, and he would definitely retaliate!
"Since the emperor's order, the students are all happy and their status has been improved. However, some people do not respect the emperor's order and insist on brutally abusing the students. This is disrespectful to His Majesty!"
"Oh!" Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and his eyes became sharp. This matter is indeed a problem. He had just issued an imperial decree to treat students kindly, but he didn't expect that someone would commit crimes.
To put it bluntly, this is disrespectful to you.
"Who is this person? Tell me in detail!"
"promise!"
After successfully attracting His Majesty's attention, Li Si's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning.
"This person is Li Zhao from Chang'an Township."
oh!
Ying Zheng frowned, but he didn't expect it to be Li Zhao. He had proposed the imperial examination, and he wanted to treat students well. How could he abuse students?
The powerful ministers also discussed it a lot, especially those who were dissatisfied with Li Zhao, and the reaction was great.
Indeed, Li Zhao was made a young eunuch and given a title, which made many people jealous. Last time, Li Si's bribery was exposed, and Ling prevented the imperial examination from happening, but it offended many people.
You must know that since the unification of the Qin Dynasty, bribery has not been uncommon, but it has been kept secret. Your Majesty is also aware of it, but you insist on pursuing it. Doesn't this pave the way for the imperial examination and use Prime Minister Li to intimidate the ministers?
It can be said that Li Zhao was the indirect figure who led to the implementation of the imperial examination.
Unpopular person.
But this person committed abuse just after the emperor ordered him to do so. That is an important clue!
"There is a son named Xiao He in Peixian County. He was originally a chief official. In line with the belief of serving the country, he resolutely resigned from his position as a chief official and went to Xianyang to study and take the exam."
After Li Si reported the situation in Chang'an Township, Li Si immediately sent people to investigate Xiao He and found out about him.
"Little did he know that when he went to Chang'an Township to visit his uncle, he was forcibly detained by Li Zhao. What's even more outrageous is that Li Zhao actually forced Xiao He to go to the fields to catch insects."
"What?" Upon hearing the word "catching insects", all the powerful ministers became extremely angry and filled the hall with anger.
That’s a student!
They are also students. The dignity of students is inviolable. If they are forced to go to the fields to catch insects, isn't this an insult to the scholars? Is it an insult to them?
Angry, hateful.
What's even more hateful is yet to come.
Li Si continued: "Not only that, Xiao He took time out of his busy schedule to study the sacred classics in order to learn how to govern the country. Little did he know that all the classics were snatched away by Li Zhao and destroyed."
This is a bit exaggerated.
What?
When the powerful officials heard this, they clenched their fists in anger and looked ferocious.
This is no longer as simple as hating Li Zhao, but to another level, opposing all scholars in Da Qin.
Destroying sacred books is a grave sin!
Even Ying Zheng, who favored Li Zhao, stood up angrily and uttered angry words.
"How dare Shuzi, how dare you."
Extremely excited.
Seeing this, Li Si smiled secretly and lost no time in continuing: "Your Majesty, please punish Li Zhao and bring him to justice immediately, otherwise the emperor's order will be a joke."
The ministers also echoed loudly: "Your Majesty, please deal with Li Zhao immediately."
The sound is so consistent.
Feng Quji, who knew His Majesty's character well, did not dare to speak again.
This offended the public.
"It is said that Li Zhao and Xiao He will be severely punished if this is really the case."
Ying Zheng opened his eyes sharply and issued an order angrily.
Li Zhao didn't know what happened, so he was summoned to court by the waiter. He was so confused that he thought to himself that something could go wrong again! No! He was very calm.
After some salutes, the two stood aside. Suddenly, Li Zhao felt his whole body feel chilly. At first glance, he saw Li Si staring at him closely with a malicious and sarcastic gaze.
Li Zhao subconsciously moved a step to avoid that gaze, but his heart became gloomy. Don't think about it, it must have been the bastard Li Si who did it again!
This guy, don’t stop!
"Li Zhao, do you know your guilt?"
Without saying a word, Ying Zheng angrily questioned him, and other dignitaries also expressed their intention to send him to the eighteenth level of hell.
Crime? Li Zhao was confused and really didn’t understand why Qin Shihuang was so crazy? He was a human being, so how could he be guilty?
"I don't know!" Li Zhao said truthfully, but his words brought serious consequences, and the powerful minister became angry.
"You are so bold, Li Zhao, who committed such a heinous crime and spoke so arrogantly. Do you despise the imperial power?"
Li Si was the first to speak.
Obviously, 'I don't know' is arrogance in their eyes.
"Zhu Zimu has no royal law. Your Majesty, I suggest that we don't need to ask questions and execute him on the spot to serve as a warning to others."
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
It has to be said that Li Zhao offended so many powerful officials! No one spoke up for him.
He felt like he was a chicken waiting to be castrated, and then he was severely surrounded and suppressed, and his gleaming "chopper's knife" was still exposed.
However, he really didn’t know what crime he had committed!
Ying Zheng glared at Li Zhao angrily, his stern face without a trace of blood, and scolded him sternly: "You really don't know the crime. Let me ask you, what happened to Xiao He?"
He pointed at Xiao He, "He is a student!"
oh!
Li Zhao seemed to have heard something, Xiao He? Student? Did Qin Shihuang say that he abused Xiao He? Abused his students?
"You dare to force him to stay, seize his books, destroy his will, and humiliate him in the fields. This is a great disrespect to the students. Is this a crime?"
Ying Zheng looked heartbroken and covered his chest with his hands.
That's true.
Li Zhao felt a little guilty. Indeed, he had really done these things, but he had done so secretly! How could it have spread here?
But you can't admit it. If you admit that you want to behead, you will immediately deny it.
"Your Majesty, you are unjust! I didn't," he shouted, but he didn't know what excuse to make, so he made nonsense: "I saw that Xiao He had little knowledge and was not good at school, so I intentionally supported him and did things that were hard for him. This was beneficial to him.
, what is the crime?”
There is no other way, he can only say this. There are inspiring examples of hard work throughout the ages, such as Guan Yiwu, and they should not violate the rules.
"On the contrary, I feel that I am being cared about by a villain.
He emphasized the word 'villain' in a particularly emphatic tone, and glanced at Li Si vaguely.
