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

"The leader of Legalism?!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but gasp and look at Li Si.

It's important to know that this name represents more than just four characters.

Behind this was the support of countless officials and forces within the Legalist school, as well as numerous Legalist figures from the common people.

Especially now that Confucianism has perished, Legalism can be said to be the only dominant school of thought!

Now Li Si is actually willingly giving this to Tang Yu?

"Leader of the Legalist School".

"No, no, no! Please don't ruin me, Li Si!"

Tang Yu's face contorted with extreme pain.

"I haven't even finished the tasks Brother Zheng assigned me, and now I'm supposed to be the leader of the Legalists? I can't handle that at all!"

"Well, since Mr. Tang is so insistent, then Li Si will not force him."

Li Si was genuinely disappointed after Tang Yu refused.

He felt that if Tang Yu's talent allowed him to become the leader of the Legalist school, he would surely lead the Legalist school to a higher level!

Unfortunately, he had anticipated this outcome.

……

After a while, Li Si and the other man were discussing the new Qin laws with great enthusiasm.

Tang Yu, unable to get a word in edgewise, turned to Ying Zheng and said:

"Your Majesty, in that case, I shall take my leave. My good brother Xiang Yu is probably still waiting for me!"

"Pfft..."

Ying Zheng, who was having a heated discussion with Li Si, finally couldn't help but laugh.

He was genuinely curious about how Xiang Yu would react when he learned of Tang Yu's identity.

When Tang Yu changed his clothes and rushed to the inn where Xiang Yu was staying, he found that the King of Western Chu was already furious.

You could tell just how angry he was from the overturned tables and chairs beside him.

"Brother Xiang Yu? Why are you so angry?"

Upon seeing Tang Yu arrive, Xiang Yu finally found an outlet for his pent-up frustration.

"Zilong, you've come at the perfect time!"

"You probably don't know, do you? Right after you and I parted ways, that damned tyrant and that imperial advisor actually arrested all the Confucian scholars."

"You want to try them according to the new criminal law? How can I not be angry?"

I don't know? I know it all too well!

Seeing Xiang Yu's dejected expression, Tang Yu almost lost his composure.

However, he still pretended to look at Xiang Yu with a puzzled expression.

"Brother Xiang Yu? What do you mean by that? What does it have to do with the fact that he captured Confucian scholars and we overthrew the tyrannical Qin dynasty?"

Seeing how dull and stupid his younger brother was, Xiang Yu couldn't sit still any longer.

"Zilong, many of these Confucian scholars are loyal supporters of our six kingdoms!"

"Especially several doctors from the Doctor's Palace, who had dealings with us, have all been arrested. It's truly heartbreaking!"

Good heavens! This is somehow connected to you guys?

It seems we were too late!

Tang Yu has decided to thoroughly investigate these officials later to see if there is anything he doesn't know about them.

There are likely to be quite a few surprises coming!

"Ah? Is that so!"

Tang Yu acted with unusual seriousness, and Xiang Yu was naturally fooled.

He looked at Tang Yu and said, as if to encourage himself:

"It's alright, Zilong! At least the Confucian disciples I arranged gave the answers to that kid Zhao Li, so he should have no problem with the exam this time!"

Tang Yu: ……

His mouth twitched; he simply couldn't bear to tell Xiang Yu the truth.

The four he arranged were all good-for-nothings! They only agreed to his request to scam him out of his payment.

He still remembered how much Wang Li hated those four people when he came to him to complain after the exam!

At this time, there were still 4 days before the second assessment of the secretaries and officials, and 3 days before the public trial of the Confucian scholars.

The entire Qin state was in complete chaos.

Our instigator, Tang Yu, leisurely graded the exam papers of this year's candidates.

As for Meng Tian, ​​he was still in prison torturing the Confucian scholars.

Meng Tian became even more excited after Tang Yu told him that the Confucian scholars were connected to the six states!

When facing the Confucian scholars, Meng Tian was practically grinning from ear to ear; he had never fought such an easy battle before.

After being subjected to a little torture, he spills everything, revealing no backbone whatsoever!

These past two days, only two topics have been lingering throughout the Qin state.

What exactly is the New Qin Law?

What kind of punishment would the Confucian scholars receive?

Many officials felt that this force was far too powerful in the court.

Similarly, many high-ranking officials were likely given minor punishments as a warning to others.

The other group felt that the actions of the Confucianists had indeed shaken the foundation of the Qin state and were courting death, and that they would not be let off easily by Ying Zheng!

Li Si, as the drafter of the new Qin laws, made no comment on either of these statements, making the situation in the court increasingly confusing.

"Have you heard? Our Qin state is going to implement reforms!"

"What? They're going to change the laws? Those are the laws set by Lord Shang, why would they change them?"

"I don't know. I heard that the Grand Preceptor said that things need to be changed. Apparently, he said that the laws are too harsh on us Qin people and that reforms are needed!"

The news spread rapidly throughout the territory of the Qin Dynasty.

All the old Qin people were moved to tears upon hearing this, feeling as if they had finally made it through.

They didn't care whether the Qin music was difficult or not, nor did they care whether the Qin music brought them any benefits.

Even though they did feel that the Qin laws were too harsh and unbearable for them.

However, as the most loyal subjects of Qin and the most faithful foundation of Qin, they would never be the first to complain to Ying Zheng.

Now, someone is actually speaking up for them!

In no time, the name Tang Yu was passed down among all the old Qin people.

Upon hearing about the events that had transpired in Xianyang over the past two days, Liu Bang, an old-timer of chivalry, was also intrigued.

He touched the wound that Lü Zhi had broken, wincing in pain.

"Oh dear, if I had known I'd get beaten up by this woman if I stayed in Pei County, I would have been better off going to Xianyang with Xiao He. At least I could have seen some fun, right?"

The turbulent city of Xianyang is about to face a new test after the arrest of the Confucian scholars.

That is the promulgation of the new Qin laws!

Many remnants of the six former states were both hopeful and fearful.

They feared that the contents of the new Qin laws would affect their future plans.

But they also wondered if Qin would cause internal chaos if it first targeted Confucianism and then Qin law, giving the remnants of the six states an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Everyone realized that all of Qin's opportunities and changes were closely related to one person.

Tang Yu!

He is the eye of the storm in the Qin state right now!
