"My Great Qin deserves rewards for its merits, but it also deserves punishment for its mistakes. If the rewards and punishments are not clear, how can we maintain the majesty of my Qin law!"

As soon as Feng Quji's words came out of his mouth, there were dissenting voices all over the place.

Even Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle when he saw this scene. It seemed that he still underestimated the difficulty of keeping Li Si.

"Your Majesty, my subjects support Feng Xiang's statement!"

At this moment, Meng Yi suddenly stood up.

"Master Shangqing, what is the meaning of this?"

"No, Li Si Sulai and Lord Shangqing have an average relationship, how could he plead for Li Si?"

"Could it be that there is something hidden in it?"

"Your Majesty, my Great Qin has clear rewards and punishments. Li Si deserves a reward for his meritorious service. But this time he committed a serious crime, but he did not deserve to die. Perhaps Your Majesty can give him a chance to continue serving Great Qin."

"What do you think?"

Ying Zheng remained calm, looked at the others and asked.

"Everything is up to His Majesty to decide. The words of Feng Xiang and Meng Shangqing may not be completely unreasonable."

Wang Wan cupped her hands and said something.

"How is this possible? Does Wang Xiang also support the release of Li Si?"

At this moment, everyone dared not speak anymore, and all shut their mouths in silence.

The situation at the court meeting was turbulent and unpredictable, and it was no longer something they could participate in.

"Since the three lovers have pleaded for Li Si, the widow will make an exception for him!"

"However, Li Si can be exonerated from death, but he cannot escape from living!"

"From today onwards, Li Si will be stripped of all his titles and demoted to the rank of Deputy Ting Wei."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Feng Quji bowed deeply, and then returned to his seat.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Meng Yi withdrew too.

Only Wang Wan looked at the two with a strange look in his eyes.

After Ying Zheng's will was communicated, Li Si was quickly taken to Xianyang Palace.

"Criminal Li Si, see Your Majesty!"

As a prisoner, Li Si was not allowed to bow when meeting Ying Zheng, and even when saluting, he had to kneel down.

"Li Si, are you convicted?"

Although Ying Zheng planned to let Li Si go, he still had to beat him as he should.

"Your Majesty, the guilty minister knows that his crime is unforgivable, and he only asks for death. Please let your majesty do it!"

Li Si bowed his head and pressed his head to the ground, unwilling to raise his head.

"Hmph, you have committed such a serious crime, logically speaking, the widow should tear you apart, but fortunately, you have all the love ministers to help you intercede."

"However, your death penalty is spared, and your life penalty is inevitable. From today onwards, all titles and prime minister positions will be cut off, and you can become a deputy under Ting Wei!"

"What did His Majesty say?"

Li Si raised his head suddenly, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

Originally thought that he was doomed this time, but Ying Zheng let him go.

"Li Si, Your Majesty granted you an extrajudicial favor, exempted you from the death penalty, and gave you the opportunity to continue serving Daqin. Why don't you thank Your Majesty quickly?"

Wang Wan looked at Li Si and said with a cold snort.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Si cried bitterly, bowed his head deeply, and said in a broken voice.

"Thank you Feng Xiang, Wang Xiang, and Meng Shangqing. Li Si will always remember your life-saving grace!"

Li Si stood up, bowed his hands to the three of them, and said very gratefully.

"If you don't have any other reports, today's court meeting will be over!"

By releasing Li Si, Ying Zheng's goal has been achieved.

After seeing that other people had nothing to report, the court meeting ended.
