Chapter 7: A Son of Heaven and a Courtier

With a terrible scream, it entered the main hall of Zhangtai Palace.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all knew that Lang Zhong had made Zhao Shigao's body different.

Today, Minister of Power Lü Buwei was imprisoned, and Tai Shi Ling and Lang Zhong Ling were beheaded in court.

There was an earthquake and tsunami in the Great Qin Imperial Court.

Even if King Qin said that as long as they write guilty and sincerely change their ways, they will be dealt with lightly, and they can make meritorious contributions to their crimes.

But many officials in the court are still in danger.

Deeply afraid of Yingzheng's butcher's knife, the next one will fall on their heads.

Lü Xiang fell, and the young King Qin was in power.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier.

This is an eternal law.

Soon, the armor soldier carried Zhao Shigao's head and entered the main hall.

Ying Zheng said: "Put him and Tai Shiling's head together." ”

The armor put Zhao Shigao's head neatly on the side of Taishi Ling's head.

The smell of blood fills the air.

In the main hall, there was silence.

The ministers of civil and military affairs were careful not even to breathe.

"Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for killing the rebel ministers Zhao Shigao and Yi Qi, and getting a reward of 15 martial arts points. ”

Ying Zheng heard the voice and thought thoughtfully.

He sat down slowly, glanced at the restless ministers, and looked at Sima Yi:

"Zhongda listened. ”

"The minister is here!"

"The widow ordered you to take the post of prime minister, command hundreds of civil and military officials, and help the widow deal with the government!"

Sima Yi knelt down, his head on the ground, looking extremely respectful:

"Minister, thank Your Majesty Longen, you will not fail in your mission!"

For Sima Yi's talent, Ying Zheng still believes in it.

There is no problem with him doing a good job as prime minister.

As for loyalty, it's even less of a concern.

Sima Yi was summoned by the system and was 100% loyal to Yingzheng.

If it weren't for that, he wouldn't let the other party take over the post of prime minister.

Ying Zheng doesn't want to be like the previous king, and then raise a wolf-hearted "Lu Buwei".

"Prime Minister Sima, the purple ribbon gold seal is made by the widow, and it will be handed over to you after it is ready. "King Qin said.

The purple ribbon gold seal, this is the seal letter held by the prime minister.

"No, Your Majesty. Sima Yi saluted respectfully.

Ying Zheng looked at the ministers who had no words.

The appointment of the prime minister is a matter of national capital.

It also involves the interests of all parties in the imperial court.

Moreover, the Qin State did not promote nepotism, ran for official positions, and had no ability and contribution in the imperial court, so there was no power and status.

The prime minister must start from the state and county, and the general must be sent from the army.

Those who have merit are glorious, and those who have no merit are rich and have nothing to do.

If you directly appoint an unknown person as the prime minister, like Ying Zheng, you will definitely encounter opposition from the ministers.

But today, all the ministers are surprisingly silent.

The old ministers of the previous dynasty saw Yingzheng and overthrew Lü Buwei with the power of thunder, believing in his vision, Sima Yi must have great talent, otherwise it would be impossible for the King of Qin to use it.

Moreover, Yingzheng first showed the majesty of the king, and he also had to clean up the mess left by the fall of Lü Buwei, and he needed the king to deter him with supreme authority.

Therefore, the old ministers invariably remained silent, showing their support for the young King Qin and stabilizing the dynasty.

Lü Buwei was a minister, and he was shocked by Yingzheng's bloody methods, and he did not dare to speak out against it.

Zhao Shigao and Tai Shiling's heads are still there.

The young King Qin interpreted the majesty of the king to the extreme.

Ying Zheng said: "Prime Minister, you announce the latest appointment of the widow. ”

"No, Your Majesty!"

Sima Yi picked up a royal edict prepared by King Qin last night and read it out:

"King Qin's edict:

The original Xianyang Order was transferred for other purposes, and Meng Wu served as the new Xianyang Order, and the general consul was in Guanzhong.

The lieutenant was held by Winten, and the former lieutenant was transferred to other uses.

Lang Zhongling's position was replaced by Zhonglang Zhou Bin.

The position of Taishi Ling is ......"

As Sima Yi read out the names one by one, some people were happy and some were worried.

In the past three years since Ying Zheng was a virtual king, he has not indulged his nature, hunted and ridden, and was angry with horses like other young kings in history.

He was not idle, secretly established his minions, and secretly learned more about the information of the royal court officials.

Which ones are trustworthy and capable, and can be entrusted with important tasks.

Those who are talented, but have poor loyalty, can only be used for general purposes.

Which ones only know how to slip around and rely on nepotism to be promoted to important positions......

As a bystander, Ying Zheng sees clearly and understands well.

That's why we have today's edict of appointment.

Meng Wu is the son of a loyal and meritorious general and a lieutenant Meng Hu, who is quite talented and loyal to the royal family.

Therefore, the supreme governor of Xianyang City under the king's feet is the most suitable for his palm.

The original Xianyang Order was an official of Lu Buwei's family, and Yingzheng was not at ease to let the other party continue to serve, so he could only be transferred for other purposes.

Lieutenant, in charge of public security and fire protection in the Beijing Division, is the commander of the Beijing Division's garrison.

Such an important position must be in the hands of one's own people, and cannot fall into the hands of Lu Xiang's officials.

Ying Teng is brave and martial, has transcendent realm cultivation, has the ability to command the army, and is loyal to Yingzheng.

For the time being, it is more appropriate to hold the position of lieutenant.

Ying Zheng's edict replaced most of the most important positions with suitable candidates that he had carefully examined.

Of course, he did not have so many personnel to replace other second-class positions, so he could only temporarily hold them by Lu officials.

At the same time, this is also an inspection of this group of officials to see if they can be retained in the future.

As a result, Ying Zheng firmly controlled the temples of the Qin State.

If his subordinates are all a bunch of people who can't be trusted, Yingzheng won't know that he is blinded.

The king is a hard, dangerous job!

If you are not careful, you will never recover!

After Sima Yi finished reading.

Ying Zheng glanced at the ministers: "Ministers, there are objections to the arrangement of the widow!"

"Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers have no objections!"

A group of civil and military ministers bent down one after another.

Many of them have been demoted, and it is naturally a lie to say that there is no objection.

But because of the power of Yingzheng, no one dares to say it.

Qin Wangteng stood up and said:

"Since there is no objection, then out of Zhangtai Palace, you should stop chewing the root of your tongue and do your part with peace of mind. ”

Ying Zheng looked at the confessions piled up like a hill, and said: "If you are guilty, the widow will deal with it according to your future performance." ”

When the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Lu Department heard this, his heart sank, and he hurriedly said:

"We will be loyal to our duties and share your Majesty's worries!"

They are all smart people.

The confession is equivalent to the Zhenqin sword hanging over the heads of the ministers.

If they disobey the yin and the yang, the dog's head will not be protected.

Ying Zheng nodded and said in a deep voice, "Where is the lieutenant?"

"The last general!"

The bearded and majestic Win Teng stood with his hands in his hands.

"The widow ordered you, and immediately led the army to surround Lu Xiangfu.

The three thousand guests and all the clansmen were arrested and handed over to the court for interrogation, and all the family wealth was confiscated and put into the treasury.

Another team of men and horses was dispatched to remove the "Spring and Autumn of the Lu Family" at the south gate. Ying Zheng said majestically.

"No, Your Majesty!"

As soon as Ying Teng turned around, he strode away majestically towards the outside of the hall.

He was a lieutenant for the first time, and he must perform well and live up to the king's grace.

"There is a morning music, and there is no retreat!" Zhou Bin, the new Lang Zhongling, said in a loud voice.

Its voice is clear and high-pitched.

After speaking.

An old minister with gray hair, wearing a high crown, and holding a wat board came out of the queue and arched his hand: "Minister, there is a book to play!"

"Old Fengchang, you don't talk about it. "Ying Zhengdao.

The old minister's name is Zhang Yu, who is a regular member of the Qin State, and is one of the nine Qings in charge of the sacrificial rites of the temple.

He is also a veteran of the Three Dynasties.

Although Zhang Yu has not yet said what the specific thing is, Ying Zheng has guessed what the other party is going to say.

"Your Majesty, now that the national thief Lü Buwei has been imprisoned, you have regained your authority.

The old minister suggested that His Majesty should worship the heavens, the temple, and the shrine as soon as possible, and hold a pro-government ceremony to officially pro-government.

Tell the world and inspire the people. "The sound of Fengchang is deafening.

"Ministers, please also ask Your Majesty to govern in person!"

All the ministers in the hall knelt on the ground one after another.

Yingzheng stood up and said: "Quasi-play, Lao Fengchang, you choose an auspicious day as soon as possible!"

"Your Majesty is wise, eight days later will be auspicious.

The fourth and sixth days are also auspicious days, and His Majesty can be used to pay homage to the temple and the shrine.

On the ninth day, after holding a suburban ceremony (worship to the sky) in the Qi Nian Palace, he officially became pro-government. ”

"Okay, just follow the usual advice. "Ying Zhengdao.

He also wants to be officially pro-government as soon as possible, and if he is in the ordinary words, it is in line with the king's wishes.

The matter was agreed, and the doctor came out, and said with a worried face: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to play." ”

"Quasi-play!"

"Your Majesty, behind the national thief Lu Buwei is Tianlu Sect, we have to guard against it.

The minister suggested that General Meng Hu be dispatched to lead the army back to Xianyang. The doctor said.

Ying Zheng said: "To prevent Tianlu Sect, the widow has already taken measures, and you ministers don't have to worry." ”

He himself has reached the first level of the Xuanwu Realm, and Sima Yi is also in the Xuanwu Realm, which means that there are two gods and demons in Xianyang, and he is naturally not afraid of Tianlu Sect.

It's just that the Manchu civil and military forces don't know about this yet.

They thought that Sima Yi was just a relatively powerful Transcendent Realm Extreme Martial Artist.

Gods and demons are so rare, there is only one god and demon in the Tianlu Sect in the Qin Kingdom.

Ying Zheng naturally will not tell his subordinates the truth.

......

Half an hour later, the pilgrimage ended.

Ying Zheng's face was complicated and he walked towards Ganquan Palace.
