Li Si was a little surprised when he heard what Ying Gao said.

The sixteenth young master obviously came to the door right after he came out of Zhangtai Palace, so what he wanted to tell him was extremely important.

At least, that’s what the sixteen young masters think.

After all, the First Emperor ordered that Li Xin, the general of the left, would march northward today.

Since Ying Gao wants to go with him, he can only leave Xianyang with Li Xin today.

Glancing at Feng Wuze and Gan Mao, Li Si smiled and said, "Master, please speak."

"If not, I and I will go first..."

"Prime Minister Feng, no, no, what Gao Zhi said is not taboo, you two elders don't have to do this."

Ying Gao quickly interrupted Feng Wuze's words.

If you really want Feng Wuze and Gan Mao to evade, regardless of whether it is rude or not, it will definitely make Feng Wuze and Gan Mao have a grudge.

Then the gain is really not worth the loss.

Not to mention, what he originally wanted to say to Li Si was nothing shameful. It might be better if Feng Wuze and Gan Mao also listened.

Seeing Ying Gao like this, Feng Wuze and Gan Mao would naturally stop insisting. They also wanted to hear what the sixteenth son wanted to say to Li Si when he came to look for Li Si when he was about to leave Xianyang.

.

"I wonder what happened to the "Bangbenlu" that my father asked the teacher to compile now?"

"But Your Majesty..."

Hearing what Ying Gao said, Li Si hesitated.

"The teacher is overly worried. This question was asked by Gao himself. My father has never told Gao about this matter."

As soon as Ying Gao saw Li Si's expression, he knew that he was thinking too much, so he quickly explained.

"I, together with many Legalist disciples in Tingwei Mansion, have compiled twenty-one chapters of "Bangbenlu"."

Since it was not the First Emperor who wanted Ying Gao to push him, Li Si felt more at ease and told the truth directly.

"I have some thoughts about "Bangbenlu"... Oh, maybe it's more than just "Bangbenlu". After all, there will definitely be new laws in Daqin in the future."

Ying Gao looked at Li Sizheng and said.

"Oh? I wonder what the young master thinks about the "Bang Ben Lv" or the new laws of Da Qin in the future. I must have a good time to listen to it."

Li Si, Feng Wuze, and Gan Mao looked at each other, looked at Ying Gao and said with a smile.

Who doesn’t know that this 16th Young Master has awakened his early wisdom, but he is not very proficient in Qin Lv Dao, and can even be said to be superficial.

Unexpectedly, today we can actually hear that these sixteen young masters have some thoughts on the "State Law" and even the new laws set by Da Qin in the future. This has to make the three of them feel amused, but also a little curious.

The thoughts of these sixteen young masters are indeed very different from those of ordinary people. I’m sure he will say something surprising.

"Our Qin Dynasty established a country based on laws, and various Qin laws related to our Qin Dynasty from the kings and nobles to the prisoners in the head of Guizhou, from farming, mulberry, fishing and hunting to clothing, food, housing and transportation, from giant merchants to traders and soldiers, from corvee labor to garrison soldiers.

Our vast empire, from top to bottom, and from all walks of life, are mostly covered by strict and tight Qin laws, and we must act according to them. Do the three bosses think so?"

Ying Gao paused here.

"Young master is right, it is true, especially the word empire, it is really wonderful."

Gan Mao stroked the long white beard under his chin, feeling very happy.

Li Si and Feng Wuze were naturally the first to hear the term "empire", but they both believed that the word "Ying Gao" was used very appropriately.

What is the First Emperor's country if not an empire?

"The three elders all know that our Qin Dynasty can sweep the six countries and unify the world, and the law should be the cornerstone of the founding of our country. However, the three elders, especially the teacher, have ever thought about what is the cornerstone of the law?

”

Ying Gao looked at the three Li Si people who were in a good mood and asked slowly.

Feng Wuze and Gan Mao were a little confused when they heard Ying Gao's words, but they unanimously focused their attention on Li Si.

Han Fei is dead, and now Li Si should be regarded as the first person in Legalism.

Moreover, it is obvious that the main target of Ying Gao's question "What is the cornerstone of law" is also Li Si, the first Legalist in the world.

Hearing Ying Gao's question, Li Si's face became serious.

This solemnity is not because of Ying Gao, but because of the word "dharma", which is a theoretical creed that he has practiced for almost half his life.

Looking at Li Si who was frowning and thinking, Ying Gao did not urge him, but quietly waited for Li Si to give him the answer he understood.

After a while, Li Si raised his head and said slowly,

"I believe that 'things in the four directions must be in the center; if the sage holds the key, the four directions will follow suit.' This should be the cornerstone of our Qin Dynasty."

As soon as these words came out, both Feng Wuze and Gan Mao looked a little strange, but neither of them said anything.

In fact, Li Si's words were not what he thought, but came from Han Fei's mouth.

This is part of what Han Fei wrote about "law" when he wrote a letter to the First Emperor, and it is also the most core part.

The meaning is very simple. The power of the country must be concentrated in the hands of the monarch ("sage"). The monarch must control all the power in order to govern the world.

All laws must be based on the monarch's likes and dislikes and whether the monarch can control all the rights of the country. In short, it is the theory of centralized monarchy and autocratic power that has existed in China for thousands of years.

The reason why Feng Wuze and Gan Mao had weird eyes was that everyone knew that Han Fei was Li Si's senior brother. At that time, Han Fei was on a mission to Qin from South Korea, and Han Fei's letter was appreciated by the First Emperor.

But not long after Han Fei wrote a letter to the First Emperor, Han Fei died in prison in vain.

Apart from the First Emperor, only Li Si, the current court captain and Han Fei's junior brother, knew what exactly happened.

Although it is said that Li Si finally killed him because he was worried that Han Fei's talent would surpass his own and take his place, but who can really know the reason?

Moreover, no one in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty knew about this matter, and it had always been the most taboo thing for Li Si.

But no matter what the reason was, Li Si used Han Fei's words to answer Ying Gao's question at this moment, which seemed a little too ironic to Feng Wuze and Gan Mao.

Of course, even if Li Si is still a court captain, neither of them will offend Li Si on this matter, let alone Li Si is now the respected prime minister.

Especially when they saw Li Si's eyes fixed on Ying Gao without blinking after answering, Feng Wuze and Gan Mao suddenly felt chills all over their bodies.

Is this Li Si still thinking of testing the Sixteenth Young Master with Han Fei's story?

After hearing Li Si's answer, Ying Gao blinked in confusion.

This time Li Si obviously made a miscalculation.

Ying Gaogao didn't even know where this sentence came from, and it took him a long time to figure out even the meaning.

"What the teacher said is correct, but Gao actually believed that in addition to the monarch of the country, the cornerstone of the law should be fairness, especially fairness to ordinary people."
