Qin Dynasty: Your Majesty, I really am a time traveler.

Today's reforms are something that the entire Qin Dynasty has no choice but to agree to!

The Legalist leader is my man, and the Confucian leader is also my man. What right do you have to play with me?

Faced with the exclamations of the officials behind him, Li Si not only did not react, but instead rebuked them sternly.

"Shut up! Don't you all think that Qin law is indeed too harsh for the Qin state today? What exactly is wrong with what the Grand Preceptor said?"

Li Si stood there, his voice even more self-righteous.

Although Tang Yu's actions did indeed contradict some of his Legalist beliefs from a certain perspective, he sincerely believed that Tang Yu was absolutely right!

His current act of helping Tang Yu is indeed a betrayal of the Legalist school, but as the Prime Minister of Qin, he feels that what he is doing is justified and righteous!

The ministers all looked at Li Si with strange eyes.

They simply couldn't believe that Li Si, who always emphasized the Qin law, would betray it himself today.

what on earth is it?

I was originally looking forward to seeing who would emerge victorious when the two clashed.

But to their surprise, before the first round of battle even began, Li Si, the leader of the Legalists, surrendered on his own!

Looking at the noisy imperial court, Ying Zheng revealed an expression of complete control.

"Gentlemen, why don't we let the Grand Preceptor speak first, and see what the contents of his reforms are? Then we can make a decision."

Hearing what Ying Zheng said, and with everyone present curious about what exactly this reform was going to do,

Everyone shut their mouths and listened attentively. Tang Yu stepped forward, his steps unusually steady.

"Just as I just said, Qin law is far too harsh."

"At the same time, for a prosperous era that wants to live and work in peace and contentment, there are still some loopholes."

"Therefore, the method I have changed is simply to make up for these deficiencies!"

"A loophole? How could my Qin Law possibly have a loophole?"

Hearing the dissenting voices, Tang Yu slowly spoke.

"In order to accumulate strength and unify the six states, the agricultural and military system of Qin law has been preserved."

"But now the unification of the six kingdoms has been settled, and our Great Qin has no rivals at home and abroad. It has become a golden age of unparalleled prosperity."

"Under such circumstances, could more resources be devoted to people's livelihood and agriculture?"

"Similarly, the laws of my Qin state are now being applied to the people of the other six states."

“Those people who were originally accustomed to the laws of the six states will inevitably feel dissatisfied when they accept the laws of my Qin state.”

"And the system of collective punishment in Qin law is not applicable to people with special circumstances."

"After all, they were originally people of the six kingdoms, or people affected by the war, and they have become neighbors again."

"If some complete strangers were to break the law and implicate you, would you gentlemen be happy about that?"

Someone wanted to speak, but found themselves speechless.

After all, they would be extremely dissatisfied if they were implicated by others for no reason.

"Judging from the adults' reactions, they probably already expected this, right?"

"Yes, all of you gentlemen may be dissatisfied, but what about the people of the six kingdoms who are being implicated? Wouldn't they also be dissatisfied?"

"At that time, they will take this discontent to His Majesty and to the Great Qin!"

Ying Zheng sat on the dragon throne, watching Tang Yu, who was holding his own in a verbal battle with the officials.

His eyes were filled with pride.

Look! This is my imperial advisor!

The same goes for Fusu beside him. Who wouldn't admire a man who could silence all the officials?

This man is now Fusu's teacher!

Looking at the silent officials, Tang Yu's eyes were unusually calm.

Those obsidian-like eyes now resembled deep, ancient wells.

"Moreover, as I just said, the focus of the people of Great Qin should be on recuperation and restoration of their lives after unification."

"If you were implicated and imprisoned because of someone you don't know..."

"Wouldn't it be better to free up the productive forces of those innocent people, letting them farm or perform corvée labor? That would be far better than them going to jail for no reason, wouldn't it?"

Tang Yu's question was like a thunderbolt, instantly silencing the officials.

For a moment, they could only look at each other from left to right, finding themselves unable to utter a single word.

After all, what Tang Yu said made sense.

Qin's current rival, Baiyue, no longer dares to make any moves, while the Xiongnu are also blocked by the Great Wall.

Of all the things that need to be done right now, the most important is indeed to recuperate and rest!

Tang Yu's expression darkened, and his tone became ruthless.

"Both of these matters are extremely important to our Great Qin, both in terms of public and private matters!"

"One is the resentment of the people of the six states, and the other is the stability of my great Qin! The original Qin law was flawed in both of these matters."

"Now that the new Qin laws have emerged, they can make our Qin state stronger and more stable. What are the true intentions of those who oppose the implementation of these laws in our Qin state?"

"Do you mean you'll only be willing after Qin's laws have caused immense public anger and discontent among the people of the six states?"

"Or do you think that the people of Qin are living too comfortably and enjoying themselves too much, and that it's necessary to have several people implicated and punished as a result???"

This sudden and furious outburst left the officials in the court somewhat bewildered.

They wanted to refute it for a moment, but didn't know how to begin.

They looked at each other, each hoping their colleague would speak up for them.

But their colleagues reacted in the same way.

Tang Yu walked to Chunyu Yue's side at that moment.

He looked at the old man with whom he had just reached a cooperation agreement and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Dr. Chun, as the leader of Confucian officials, how do you interpret what I'm saying?"

"Ah I?"

Upon hearing Tang Yu call his name, Chunyu Yue trembled.

He was worried that Tang Yu would discover what their Confucian school had done, but he quickly said:

"I think what the Imperial Advisor said makes a lot of sense!"

"At the same time, what Confucianism has always sought is to treat the people well, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone can live a happy and stable life. This coincides with the thoughts of the Grand Preceptor!"

"If this is what the Grand Preceptor's reforms are all about, then we Confucianists support the Grand Preceptor!"

After Chunyu Yue made his statement, many Confucian officials in the court bowed their heads and spoke.

"We support the Grand Preceptor's reforms!"

"Support the Imperial Advisor!!!"

At this moment, all the officials from the Imperial Academy and the Confucian faction have sided with Tang Yu!

After witnessing this scene, Li Si looked at Tang Yu with surprise. He had thought that Tang Yu's trump card was himself...

But little did I know, I was overthinking it. Just how many officials in the court had sided with Tang Yu?
