Chapter 373 Making trouble
"What?! Put it aside and worry about it?!"
"How could that be? How dare he?"
Li Chengjia was completely stunned when she heard this.
He glared at the underling in front of him through gritted teeth.
He never expected it.
The thing I've been looking forward to for so long has ended up like this.
After all, this donation was something I had been looking forward to the most, and it was also something I was proud of.
He wanted to use this opportunity to show those who usually called themselves corrupt officials what they were really made of.
At that time, he would be known throughout the Qin Kingdom as a great philanthropist, watching the people grit their teeth in despair.
Just thinking about it made him excited!
He's been keeping a close eye on this matter these past few days and hasn't let go of it.
He even abused his power as the eldest son of the Li family.
He wanted the rest of the Li family to help him in this matter.
The purpose was to get Tang Yu's attention to this matter and then quickly make his name known for all time.
But what he didn't expect was that after all that, Tang Yu quit?
Although Tang Yu noticed it, the way he noticed it was completely opposite to what he had hoped for.
He was left wondering what to do when the matter was abruptly halted.
His thoughts raced, and even his brilliant mind was working hard.
He couldn't figure out how to handle the situation.
You should know that the reason I donated so much money was not because I was particularly kind.
After all, those people were just a bunch of lowly commoners; how could they be worthy of spending his money?
He was just giving Tang Yu face while trying to improve his own reputation.
But now Tang Yu has taken the money and isn't doing anything; he's really not human.
"You scoundrel! You really are a scoundrel!"
After spitting out a few angry curses, he said viciously.
"Fine, if that's the case, then don't blame me for not giving you face!"
For some reason, an idea suddenly popped into his head.
He looked at the retainer he had raised and said.
"In that case, let's have a proper meeting with Tang Yu."
The retainer shuddered upon hearing Li Chengjia's words.
He looked at Li Chengjia and tried to dissuade her.
"Young Master, you mustn't!"
"Young Master! That's none other than the Imperial Advisor, Tang Yu."
"Even the nobles of the six kingdoms were defeated by him."
"We must not act rashly!!"
It would have been better if this person hadn't tried to persuade her; once they did, Li Chengjia completely lost her composure.
"What? You're telling me not to act rashly?"
"You know, he took my money and then didn't do anything at all."
"I must have a serious talk with him about this."
Seeing him leave in anger, the retainer wanted to inform the elders of the Li family about this.
Concerned for Li Chengjia's safety, he could only hurriedly follow and leave.
All he could do was pray that this matter wouldn't escalate too much.
After leaving his own home, Li Chengjia went to the home of another nobleman in the Qin state.
Luo family.
The eldest son of the Luo family and Li Chengjia were also considered close friends.
As for why the two became such close friends, the reason is self-evident.
It can only be described as a group of bad friends who collude in their evil deeds.
The amount of money donated by the other party at that time was also considerable.
Although it's not quite to the point where someone like Li Chengjia is ranked second on the list.
However, it can still be considered a huge sum of money.
The other party also hoped that this incident would completely reverse his reputation.
Even millions of years from now, he will still become a great philanthropist praised by all the people in the world!
But now, both brothers' plans have fallen through.
Therefore, he naturally wanted to take his good brother with him to discuss how to proceed.
There are quite a few people like this throughout the entire Qin Dynasty.
People like Li Chengjia, after hearing Tang Yu say that the matter of carving names was put on hold, all...
In their anxiety, they all reacted.
Many of them donated all the hard-earned money they had collected from the people over the years to Tang Yu.
The purpose was not to help those people.
Their goal is simply to gain a good reputation for themselves!
But now they've lost the good reputation they wanted to gain?
This is simply defying the laws of nature; they simply cannot accept it.
That's why they all took action.
At this moment, Tang Yu sat opposite Ying Zheng and closed his eyes to rest.
Upon seeing this, Ying Zheng asked in a somewhat surprised tone.
“Mr. Tang, this is how we deal with these nobles.”
"Could this lead to internal strife within my Qin state?"
"Did this lead to a loss of trust in officials and a climate of fear among everyone?"
Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, Tang Yu sighed.
He couldn't help but think of the Ming Dynasty in later generations.
If it were Zhu Yuanzhang, that bloodthirsty bastard, he might have had even half the awareness that Qin Shi Huang has now.
It's not like he ended up with such a bad reputation late in his career.
After all, even in the TV dramas Tang Yu watched in his previous life, there were some parts that smeared him.
However, it cannot be denied that he killed far too many meritorious officials.
Those who managed to save their lives were all those who had truly done Zhu Yuanzhang a great favor, and at the same time, none of them had crossed any line.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, this time we killed him in a just and aboveboard manner."
This killing will not cause Qin officials and people to become disunited; on the contrary, it will make them even more united!
"At that time, more good officials and more talented people will emerge in the world."
"Your Majesty, don't you ever consider that there might be someone in the world who doesn't want to be an official?"
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng was taken aback, then shook his head, realizing that he had been making assumptions.
"That's right, how could anyone in the world not want to be an official?"
“Those who are talented but do not hold official positions are particularly eager to become officials.”
"If you don't want to be it, there are plenty of others who will. This is the most accurate reflection of our times."
Tang Yu and Ying Zheng were waiting for that group of people to come in and cause trouble, or rather, for that group of people to come in and pay their respects to Ying Zheng.
When that group of people actually walked in, that's when the guillotine over their heads would truly fall.
Tang Yu would absolutely not let them off easily.
If we let them go.
What about the people they plundered and oppressed?
Having decided on the path one will take in the future, the most basic thing is to win the hearts and minds of the people.
Then Ying Zheng and Tang Yu will completely and utterly go down this path to the bitter end.
While the two waited, Meng Tian's voice came from outside to report.
"Your Majesty, many officials and nobles in my Xianyang City..."
"They went together to Xianyang Palace to request an audience with His Majesty, which was said to be related to the Grand Preceptor."
Meng Tian's words piqued Ying Zheng's curiosity.
"What could this group possibly have to do with Mr. Tang?"
Upon seeing this scene, Ying Zheng exchanged glances with Tang Yu and then spoke.
"In that case, let them in."
