Chapter 64 The Real Purpose of Establishing the Platform
After the court was adjourned, Ying Zheng did not let all the ministers leave immediately, leaving behind Wang Wan, Feng Jie, Li Si, Chunyu Yue, Zhao Gao and others.

Several people also understood that the king asked them to stay because he must have something to tell them that could not be revealed in front of too many people.

Among the few people, Zhao Gao was the happiest. The fewer people attending the meeting, the more important the meeting was. Zhao Gao certainly understood this principle.

The fact that the king allowed him to attend this small court meeting showed that the king still valued him very much.

Jane is in the king's heart.

This time, the king has given him a task that he must do his best to complete and must not make any mistakes!
Glancing at the few ministers who stayed behind, Ying Zheng got straight to the point and said, "I left you here to set up the Supervisory Office. I set up the Supervisory Office not only to monitor public opinion, but also to solve the problems facing the Qin Dynasty."

Before Wang Wan, Li Si and others could think about what kind of threat the Qin Dynasty was, Ying Zheng said, "Distribute the bamboo slips to the ministers!"

Several eunuchs each carried a tray of bamboo slips into the hall and presented them to several ministers.

It was obvious that the king wanted them to look at these bamboo slips.

These bamboo slips must have been written by the "person" mentioned by the king. What profound ideas and insights could that person have?
Out of curiosity, Wang Wan picked up the first bamboo slip on the tray, opened it and began to read it. The others did the same.

The contents on the bamboo slips are some of the words that Li Nian said to Ying Zheng, but they are not the original version of the conversation between Li Nian and Ying Zheng. Instead, they have been excerpted, modified, and polished to become the version that Wang Wan, Li Si and others see today.

Soon, Wang Wan and the others were absorbed in reading, with a thoughtful look on their faces and occasionally a little surprised, but it would not be said that they were astounded by the contents of the bamboo slips.

They are all outstanding people of the time, who is worse than who?
It’s just that they were restricted by the limitations of the times and failed to think of some aspects, but it’s not that they are stupid.

After being enlightened by the bamboo slips, they suddenly understood everything. It was as if they had seen the sunlight after breaking through the fog. It turned out that they could think in this way?

Once their minds were opened, they thought of more things that were more comprehensive than what was described in the bamboo slips. They even thought of specific implementation methods that were not mentioned in the bamboo slips.

This is exactly the effect that Li Nian wanted. He just wanted to be a talker and open up the minds of the First Emperor and the ministers of the Qin Dynasty.

His experience in later generations enabled the First Emperor and other Qin officials to have a vision that transcends the limitations of the times and broaden their horizons. The First Emperor and other Qin officials then transformed the ideas he provided into methods that were in line with the current national conditions of Qin and could be truly implemented in Qin.

He came from later times, and no matter how much he integrated into the Qin Dynasty, he would not understand this era better than the First Emperor and the other nobles of the Qin Dynasty.

The bamboo slips record Li Nian's words about "being patriotic and loyal to the emperor, and abiding by laws and disciplines", the importance of public opinion, and that in order to eliminate the nobles of the six countries, it is necessary to destroy the foundation on which the nobles of the six countries depend for survival.

The hall was quiet and Ying Zheng was not in a hurry. He handled government affairs while waiting for Wang Wan and others to finish reading.

After an unknown amount of time, everyone had finished reading it, and Ying Zheng asked, "What do you think?"

After reading the bamboo slips, they finally understood why Ying Zheng suddenly wanted to set up the platform today. It turned out that the reason was here.

"The person who wrote the bamboo slips must be the 'that person' the king mentioned, and may be the same person who lives in the palace."

"He is a man of great talent and learning, but why doesn't the king let him serve as an official in the court?"

"Hmph, you have some talent, I wonder where it comes from?"

"This person has a great influence on the king and is deeply trusted by the king. You must not conflict with him. If you meet him, you cannot be his friend, but you must not be his enemy either."

"Is this the one that Brother Su Xu taught? Judging from the bamboo slips, he seems to have a kind heart towards the world, but from the way he treated the princes of the six kingdoms, he also has the cruelty of the Legalists. I don't know whether this person is good or bad for our Confucianism."

Although Wang Wan and his colleagues had their own thoughts, they all admitted that what was written on the bamboo slips made sense and provided them with many new ideas. As the prime minister, Wang Wan spoke first: "I think what is written on the bamboo slips is feasible for our Great Qin."

Zhao Gao followed up and said, "The bamboo slips talk about the importance of public opinion, which has opened my eyes. I am even more impressed by the wisdom of Your Majesty in setting up the Yutai. I will monitor public opinion for Your Majesty."

Feng Jie said: "I congratulate the king. The person who wrote this bamboo slip is very talented. It is a blessing from heaven that he can be used by the king!"

It may be true that he has some talent, but to say that he is a great talent, that guy is just relying on the fact that he comes from the future and knows history.

Even these bamboo slips that you see have been polished by me.

Li Si said: "If the nobles of the six countries are not properly dealt with, they may indeed become a threat to the Qin Dynasty. I think that in addition to enforcing the law on the bamboo slips, we must also strictly enforce the law so that no one dares to contact the nobles of the six countries."

Chunyu Yue said: "What the bamboo slips say is all about conspiracy and treacherous tactics, not the right way. This person's mind must be not right. His method may be useful for a while, but not for the rest of his life."

He was talking about what Li Nian said about disintegrating the nobles of the six countries from within, making them divided and suspicious of each other.

In Chunyu Yue's view, this was against the way of a gentleman and was a secretive method, not the right way of a king.

Ignoring Chunyu Yue's words, Ying Zheng said, "I asked you to read these bamboo slips. It seems you have understood what they mean."

"The Ministry of Public Opinion should not only monitor public opinion, but also spread the good news of the Qin Dynasty to let the people know, so that they can understand that the Qin Dynasty unified the world for the righteousness of China, and that the nobles of the six countries' attempt to plot rebellion is unjust and wants to bring disaster to the world again."

"I'll be in trouble for this matter!"

Wang Wan and others have already understood Ying Zheng's intention. It is true that the Yutai monitors public opinion in the world, but what is more important is to solve the problem of the nobles of the six countries. The nobles of the six countries must be separated from the people of the six countries so that the nobles of the six countries can no longer pose a threat.

Several people responded in unison: "As you command!"

After Wang Wan and the others left, Ying Zheng was about to continue handling government affairs when he heard a eunuch say, "Your Majesty, it's time to eat!"

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, then reacted. In order to stay healthy and live a long life, he now had three meals a day like Li Nian. It was noon now, and it was time to eat lunch.

After thinking about it, Ying Zheng decided not to have dinner in Zhangtai Palace. He wanted to go to another place.

Anyway, the "Precautions for Healthy Living" that Li Nian gave him also said that one should not sit for long periods of time to handle government affairs, but should allow the body to relax and rest appropriately, and should also digest the food after eating.

It would be better to go to Fusu to have a meal and talk to his troublesome son at the same time. The way back to Zhangtai Palace will be a good opportunity to digest the food.

"We won't eat in Zhangtai Palace today, let's go to Yichun Palace!"

Yichun Palace, isn’t that the palace where Prince Fusu lived?
The king really likes Prince Fusu more!
The eunuch was surprised, but didn't dare to show it at all.

If you want to survive long in the palace, you have to know some things without showing them, and know them without revealing them.

In the Qin Palace, eunuchs and palace maids who thought they were smart were executed every year!
