Chapter 111 According to the Xiongguan swept away and cherished, contempt for all the arrogant and self-respecting
As the political center of the empire, Xianyang is named after the hinterland of the Qinchuan River for 800 miles.
The water of Jingwei has nurtured generations of tenacious, unyielding, brave and iron-blooded old Qin people.
"Your Majesty for 10,000 years, Great Qin for 10,000 years."
"Ten thousand years for the father, ten thousand years for the Great Qin."
In the letter palace, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the princes also knelt on the ground to welcome the first emperor's holy drive.
"No courtesy."
Ying Zheng got out of the car and waved at everyone.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng's eyes glanced slightly, but he didn't find Li Si's figure.
Feng Qujian saw that His Majesty seemed to be looking for someone, and immediately comprehended the divine way: "Your Majesty, Li Xiang is ill and is recuperating in the mansion. ”
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Li Si has worked hard for the Great Qin Empire, and his contribution is indispensable. Zhao Zhong, you personally go to the treasury to pick out some tonic medicine and send it to Prime Minister Li Cheng. ”
"Minister, go and do it immediately."
After Zhao Zhong received the order, he trotted all the way away.
Ying Zheng sat on the throne, watched the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty sit down, and said, "I have prepared a feast today to entertain you Aiqing. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone, with a look of anticipation on their faces, bowed to Yingzheng who was sitting on the throne.
Soon, a group of attendants walked in with jade plates and placed them on the wooden table in front of everyone.
Everyone looked at it, and their faces were suddenly stunned.
Looking at the people in a daze, Ying Zheng said expressionlessly: "Don't just look at it, let's eat!" ”
"Your Majesty, the thing in this plate is tree bark, how to lower the stomach?"
Imperial Doctor Feng Qujian looked embarrassed and said to Ying Zheng.
A word stirred up a thousand waves, some people took the lead, and those who hesitated began to speak out one after another.
"Your Majesty, how to eat this grain root?"
"Your Majesty, this is clearly a leaf, and the minister can't eat it!"
"Your Majesty, isn't this grass a livestock?"
Suddenly, as soon as you say a word, I say a word, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty said one after another.
All in all, it's roughly the same meaning, if you want to eat these things, you can't do it!
At this moment, Ying Zheng glanced at the rice bran on the plate in front of him, then picked up the silver spoon and began to eat.
As soon as he entered it, the rough taste made Ying Zheng feel like a fish in his throat and difficult to swallow.
This is still rice bran after refining, and even then it is difficult to swallow.
But even so, Ying Zheng was still expressionless, and began to eat the rice bran on his plate without turning a deaf ear.
The ministers, who were sitting relatively close, watched this scene, and their eyelids trembled.
The ministers who sat far away, although they couldn't see clearly what His Majesty was eating, but looking at the expressions of the adults in front of them, they knew that they might not be much better than what they were on their plates.
Every time Ying Zheng swallowed a mouthful of coarse chaff, the hearts of the people below felt heavy.
Until Yingzheng finished eating, he showed a satisfied look, as for the truth or falsehood, I'm afraid only he knows it.
Looking at the people who were still in a daze, Ying Zhenghu was stunned, and shouted: "I can eat it, can't you Aiqing eat it?" ”
This......
As soon as these words come out, who dares to wait and see what happens?
No matter how reluctant you are in your heart, you have to admit it if you pinch your nose.
Everyone immediately began to move, crying with a face, and forcibly swallowed the ghost thing they had never eaten in their lives!
At first, it was fine, but soon someone couldn't stand it and squirted it directly.
Others wept bitterly while eating, muttering that the rites were often lost.
After waiting for everyone to finish eating, Ying Zheng raised his eyelids and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of this feast?" Is it tasty? ”
"It's delicious."
Although everyone has five flavors churning in their stomachs, they can only ignore their conscience.
"Delicious? I've never eaten food so hard to swallow in my life. ”
Ying Zheng looked at a group of Manchu civil and military who only knew flattery, and was a little disappointed in his heart.
"Your Majesty, what kind of food is this, this is clearly tree bark, rice husks, and grass...... Not among the grains. ”
Seeing the eyes cast by His Majesty, Wang Jian thought about it slightly in his heart, and then opened his mouth to cooperate.
"The old general said well, this is indeed not food, because these things are not for people to eat, only animals eat these things."
Ying Zheng is a pun, and he doesn't scold people with a dirty word.
The civil and military officials sitting below all had embarrassed and ugly faces, but none of them dared to refute them.
"Your Majesty says so, then why?"
Wang Jian understood the truth so far, and he was puzzled.
"That's a good question! Why do I want to do this, you Aiqing think I am humiliating you? Scolding you? Not ......"
"I haven't been so idle, the two rivers in Dongjun burst their banks and flooded, and they have become a veritable hometown of the ocean."
"On this eastern tour, I witnessed with my own eyes that many local people had no harvest and starving people everywhere."
"I also saw that the officials were so bold that they refused to play and concealed the disaster, so that the displaced people sprang up everywhere and complained."
"And these people who were ruthlessly beaten and destroyed their homes ate that, and in the end, they didn't even have to eat these, so they could only eat the soil to satisfy their hunger."
"Have you all heard about it?"
Every word of Yingzheng is like a sharp blade, piercing everyone's hearts.
Every sentence is as heavy as a thousand pounds, making everyone's faces ugly.
"The ministers are guilty, and Your Majesty is angry."
The crowd immediately stood up, walked to the middle avenue, knelt down and shouted in unison.
"Guilty? Indeed, you are all guilty, and you deserve to be punished. Dongjun was first a county, but because the county order was afraid of affecting the political performance, it was hidden and not reported, causing a catastrophe and flooding, and not dying was not enough to anger the people. ”
"The embankments on both sides of the Huanghuai River are repaired every year, and countless manpower and material resources are used."
"How long has it been since the embankment broke, where did all the money and grain pulled out by the imperial court go?"
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he slapped the wooden case in front of him fiercely, and let out a heavy roar.
Many of the things on the table were shaken to the ground, making a bumping sound.
Although it is a cold winter, many people's foreheads are covered with beads of sweat, and their clothes have long been soaked with sweat.
"Where is the history of Zhisu?"
Ying Zheng looked indifferently at the civil and military ministers kneeling below, and shouted by name.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Old...... The old minister is here! ”
As one of the Nine Qings, he is in charge of the world's money and grain.
Hearing His Majesty shouting to himself, he knelt directly all the way up, and said with a flustered expression.
"You are in charge of the world's money and grain, and you have been in charge of the treasury for many years, how are you going to provide disaster relief?"
Ying Zheng looked at Zhisu Neishi with a straight gaze and asked.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... The empire has been fighting for many years, and the huge projects have never stopped for many years, and the treasury is in deficit, so there is really no money and food to relieve the disaster! ”
Zhisu Neishi wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with the corner of his clothes, and said bitterly.
"The wealth of the six countries is all attributed to Qin, and the wealth of the world is all in the customs. Daqin Doumi is only three dollars, although the project is huge, it can cost very little. Although the craftsmen have a wide range of resources, most of them are forced laborers. Although the civil engineering is heavy, it is given to the prisoners. ”
"You're going to tell me? Where is the money and food in the treasury spent? ”
Ying Zheng's voice was cold and piercing, making people feel like falling into an ice cellar.
"Your Majesty, every expenditure of the treasury is recorded in detail in the ledger......"
Before Zhisu Nei Shi's words were finished, he was interrupted.
Ying Zheng picked up a stack of bamboo slips from the table, threw them directly in front of Zhisu Neishi, and shouted: "This is your account book?"
"Back to Your Majesty, exactly."
Zhisu Neishi looked at the account book on the ground in front of him, nodded vigorously, and said.
"Let me ask you, what is the daily ration of 10,000 people?"
Although Ying Zheng is quiet on the surface and has no waves, he gives people an intuitive feeling that the mountain rain is coming and the wind is full of buildings.
"Back to Your Majesty, a hundred stones of grain is enough."
Zhisu Neishi was bitter in his heart, and by this time, he had already understood that he was going to be finished.
"I ask you again, what is the daily wage of a craftsman according to the Great Qin Law?"
Ying Zheng kept a straight face and continued to question.
"Back to Your Majesty, it must not exceed ten dollars."
On the face of Zhisu Neishi, he could no longer maintain his composure, revealing a trace of panic.
"I'll give you one last chance, where is the money and grain in the treasury?"
Ying Zheng saw that it was almost over, and burst into a loud voice.
"Your Majesty...... The old minister deserves death. ”
Zhisu Neishi sat directly on the ground, his face full of decadence.
"You are a very good minister, a high-ranking official, I ask myself if you are waiting for you?"
Ying Zheng's eyes swept over the kneeling ministers below, and asked sharply.
"Your Majesty's grace is vast, and the ministers are grateful."
All the civil and military officials said in unison.
"You worship the position of Jiuqing, the lord of Guannei, and the annual income is 2,000 stones, and the respect of one person benefits the Manchus."
Ying Zheng once again set his eyes on Zhisu Neishi, and said with a heartache.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty, guilty!"
Zhisu Neishi climbed with a roll, stepped forward a few points again, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"Where's the guard?"
Ying Zheng shouted.
Immediately, several majestic armor soldiers walked in outside the hall, bowed to Yingzheng and said, "Your Majesty." ”
"The history of governing Su is in vain for Jun's grace, bullying the king, corrupting the law, and the crime is unforgivable. The imperial decree stripped off the court clothes, seized the post and cut the knighthood, and exterminated the family to correct the national law. ”
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said indifferently.
"Whoa."
The four armor soldiers immediately stepped forward, directly pulled out the official robe of the Zhisu Neishi, and then drove him to the outside of the hall.
Zhisu Neishi's heart completely fell to the bottom and struggled desperately.
But he was already a corrupt body, and he couldn't move at all if he was the opponent of a few armorers.
At this point, where can he manage so much.
His Majesty has rebuked himself to this day, and no one has come forward to intercede.
His heart was so desperate that His Majesty didn't even mean to interrogate him.
This doesn't give you a chance at all!
"Your Majesty...... The old minister gave evidence to expose ...... The old minister wants to expose ......"
Zhisu Neishi was extremely flustered, and seeing that he was about to be escorted by several armor soldiers outside the main hall, he hurriedly spoke.
Ying Zheng showed a sneer on his face, and said to several armor soldiers: "Let go of him and retreat for the time being." ”
"Whoa."
Several armor soldiers let go of the Zhili Neishi in their hands, bowed to Yingzheng again, and then withdrew from the main hall.
"Your Majesty...... Can the old minister reduce the crime if he presents evidence to expose it? ”
Zhili Neishi knelt all the way from the gate of the main hall to the bottom of the Yingzheng hall, and begged with a bitter expression.
Ying Zheng glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "If there is empirical evidence, although the merit is not worth it, and the national law is ruthless, I can be extrajudicial and merciful, leaving you a wisp of incense to continue." If you dare to believe it, climb and bite at will, and destroy your three clans. ”
"Your Majesty, even if the criminal minister has the courage to bully the king, he will not dare to bully the king."
Zhili Neishi lowered his head and said with some trepidation.
"Say it! I listened, and so did the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. ”
Yingzheng's words were quite impatient.
"Your Majesty, here is a secret recital, which is presented to Your Majesty's Imperial Review."
Nachishi carefully took out a paper book of new hairstyles from his bosom, and raised his hands high.
Looking at this scene, many people secretly beat drums in their hearts, and their faces were extremely ugly.
Ying Zheng is high, and he naturally has a full view of everyone's expressions.
When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observing, there are no fugitives.
He is still very clear about this truth, whose ass in this world can be clean again?
It's just that there are priorities, as long as it doesn't go too far, he doesn't want to make a big fuss.
An attendant immediately walked over, took the secret music from Zhili Neishi's hand, and presented it to His Majesty.
Ying Zheng took the secret fold and looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became.
The atmosphere in the main hall of Shingu was extremely tense.
Everyone was almost holding their breath, their heads bowed, and they were uneasy.
There are many people who pray silently in their hearts......
After a while, Ying Zheng put down the secret fold in his hand, and then glanced at the hall one by one with deep eyes.
"Someone is coming, and the history of Zhili Neishi will be temporarily put on death row, waiting for the fate."
Ying Zheng roared loudly again, scaring many people below and hitting a spirit.
Immediately, a soldier walked in and dragged Zhili Neishi out.
Ying Zheng held the secret fold in his hand, stood up, looked at the civil and military officials below, and said coldly: "Among this fold, many people are standing on top of this hall, and some people are in important positions, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition. ”
"Many of you are the founding merits of the Great Qin Empire, and I miss the friendship between the monarchs and ministers for many years, and I don't want to be very widespread, let alone the blood of the empire's merits splashed on the spot."
"I will give you a chance to mend your ways, and I will not make it public."
"The world is now full of disasters and famines, tomorrow in front of the Chengtian Palace, a big tripod will be erected, since the beginning of the world, there is money to donate, there are things to offer."
"If anyone dares to work hard and take ten dollars, but only return nine dollars, I can only tell you that you can do it yourself in the future!"
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and the threat in His Majesty's mouth was undisguised!
The problem is that the only person who knows the secret has been put on death row by His Majesty!
The only person in the world who still knows about the secret fold list is Your Majesty!
Wang Jian also had eyelids jumping, Your Majesty, this is too ruthless!
The unknown is often the most terrifying, and in the court, how many people can really get out of the mud without being stained with dust?
In this way, even those who are not on the list will be in danger!
"Feast."
Ying Zheng sat back on his throne and said in a cold voice.
"Your Majesty has a decree, open a banquet."
One of the chamberlains shouted again.
Soon a group of waiters came in again, removed the jade plate from the table, and replaced it with a plate of delicacies and wine.
The Manchu Dynasty was trembling in its civil and military affairs, and its mood was as complicated as watching a lantern.
Just now, His Majesty took the opportunity to knock on the ministers, and now the banquet has really begun.
"The first lord, when respecting the prince of the country, Wang Jian, the Fuping Wang, full of loyal martyrs, generations of tiger generals, has made countless contributions to the empire."
Ying Zheng raised the gold bottle in his hand high, facing Wang Jian with a gentle face.
"Respect, Protector."
The civil and military ministers below were still in shock at this moment, where did they dare to slack off, and hurriedly picked up the wine lord in front of him and shouted at Wang Qian.
Vanity is shared by all.
No matter how cautious Wang Jian is by nature, it is difficult to avoid vulgarity after all.
There are countless honors in the world, and there are countless in my life.
Even so, at this time, he still couldn't hide the pride in his heart, and he picked up the wine lord and saluted Ying Zhengyao: "Old minister, thank you for your kindness." ”
The monarch and the minister each drank a full knight, and then each put down the wine.
The waiter who served on the side picked up a big spoon again with great eyes, scooped a spoon in the 斝 [read jia three sounds, wine container, round mouth and three legs], and filled it with wine.
"This second lord, respecting the princes, will work from day to day, and rest at sunset, dedicating his life's work to the empire and seeking the well-being of all the people in the world."
Ying Zheng was quite intriguing and said something meaningful.
Many people's faces were a little embarrassed, of course, most of the people who had been in the court for a long time looked calm.
"Your Majesty."
Everyone raised their glasses together and said to Ying Zheng.
"This third lord should be a warrior who respects the country, without them fighting bravely to kill the enemy, without them expanding the territory, there will be no supreme glory of the empire."
Ying Zheng picked up the gold bottle again, and the sound was like a picture of rolling thunder, falling into the ears of the ministers, rumbling.
"Respectfully, Sharp."
The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs raised his glass again and shouted in unison.
"Summoned."
Ying Zheng put down the gold bottle and said casually.
"Fengtian carrier, the first emperor edict said, the protector of the country, Wang Jian, crisscrossing the field, invincible. Three generations of generals serve the four monarchs. Outstanding talent, powerful contemporary. ”
"Wang Jian, the protector of the country, is the first vice president of the Imperial Military Academy, teaching and cultivating talents for the empire, announcing to the world, and making people hear about it."
The chamberlain took out the decree that had been prepared and read it out in public.
Wang Jian immediately stood up, walked out with steady steps, knelt down and said: "The old minister is willing to shed the last drop of blood for the empire, and is willing to assist His Majesty to achieve the great cause of a thousand years, and the old minister is grateful." ”
The chamberlain walked down and placed the holy decree in the hands of Wang Qian, who held his hands high.
"Protector, please get up quickly."
Ying Zheng smiled and waved his hand.
The chamberlain was very discerning and helped Wang Jian up and said, "Grandpa Guo, slow down." ”
"Thank you."
Wang Jian thanked the waiter, and then returned to his seat again.
"Although today is a state banquet, there are also a few important matters for the secretaries to discuss."
Ying Zheng said to himself, looking at the Manchu Dynasty's civil and martial arts.
"Your Majesty, please."
The crowd shouted in unison.
"First, salt, iron, paper, and coal have gradually entered the right track, and the franchise rights of the imperial shops are all ready, just waiting for Feng Changqing to choose an auspicious day to open and operate."
"Second, the Great Qin Empire now has more than 37 million people, but the empire is vast. Wasteland is everywhere, how to encourage people to have more children? Grow the number of people in the empire? ”
"Third, the Imperial Navy's warships have been built in the southern Xinjiang Yanhai, how many people does the navy need? Who is up to the task? ”
"Fourth, the eighteenth male needs to set up a separate household, and the imperial court will give ten acres of land as the land of eternal industry, and those who dare to have smugglers will not be pardoned for their capital crimes. The surplus fertile land in various places needs to be compiled and divided into the ownership of the imperial court, and the fields can be rented and cultivated, and one out of fifty is the tax for renting the land. ”
"Fifth, the Chu people govern Chu, the Yan people govern Yan, it is a temporary policy for the unification of the world, today the next unification has been more than ten years, and now the four seas are one, there is no Chu people, Qi people, Yan people, Zhao people, Han people, Wei people, this Kyushu world only Qin people."
"Don't judge heroes by their origins, they all ask about success or failure by their talents. The Great Qin Empire is tolerant of all rivers, and tolerance is great. I want to open Enke in Xianyang, recruit the best talents from all over the world, and serve the empire. All the people of Daqin, regardless of their background and feet, and all those who have the talent and ability to govern the country and the country, can be entrusted with important tasks. ”
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, there was silence in the hall.
Everyone began to whisper, what should have come has finally come, this surging trend is irreversible!
If you want to keep your power, you can only be invincible if you continue to cultivate yourself and learn together.
"Your Majesty, paper and coal are the secret skills of the imperial court, and there is no obstacle to monopolizing. However, salt and iron are very involved, and many merchants, powerful families, hold a large number of mines, and iron is the important weapon of the country, how can it be sold? ”
Feng Quji knew that at this time, he should be the first to speak out.
Ying Zheng didn't speak, but looked at the eunuch Cheng on the side.
The eunuch immediately comprehended the god and shouted, "Carry it up." ”
Soon a few chamberlains came in carrying trays of snow-white salt, and some chamberlains, holding strange iron tools, made everyone look at each other.
Everyone was given some iron tools and snow-white refined salt.
"This refined salt has been purified, not only the taste is wonderful, but also the taste is pure, which is by no means comparable to the bitter salt on the market."
"Shovels, sickles, iron forks, iron ploughs, pinch knives, short pickaxes, dustpans, lifts, iron rakes, iron rakes, are all applied to agricultural tools, which can greatly increase production and reduce the burden on the people."
"This is the winding car by the hand-cranked reeling car improved, there is a silk basket specializing in the ability to collect silk, no need to dial by hand, just step on it, greatly improve the textile efficiency. Since then, after the Daqin women are busy farming, they can also use it to supplement their families. ”
The eunuch retold all the words that His Majesty had taught him, and explained carefully.
With the various tools explained the functions of the eunuchs, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, the bosses with all their mouths, were stunned.
These things are all epoch-making, even if Lu Ban is alive, it is nothing more than that, right?
"Do you still have any questions?"
Ying Zheng looked at the silent hall and asked softly.
Everyone, look at me, I look at you, don't bow your head, where can you still say half a word.
"As soon as the imperial shop comes out, it will definitely be popular all over the world, who should be under the control?"
Ying Zheng frowned, looked at everyone and asked. It's not that he's narcissistic, but that these things are really good for the people.
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the ministers below suddenly lit up one by one.
It's a cash cow!
They don't have to think about it to know that once these epoch-making things come out, they are definitely all in demand.
Who doesn't want to take this kind of fat difference?
Even if His Majesty's eyes are staring and he doesn't dare to play some small moves, he can straighten his waist if he has money, no matter what the ministry under his jurisdiction does, he needs money, it is not a big stroke, and it is convenient and there is no need to ask for help.
Therefore, the Jiuqing Ministry, no matter which person in charge, absolutely does not want to let go of this fat gap.
Even Feng Quji, who is a doctor of the imperial history, wants to take this cash cow into his hands, but he knows very well that this is absolutely impossible!
Looking at the quarrelsome ministers, Ying Zheng spoke out to stop the chaotic situation.
"Childe wins Luo."
Ying Zheng said directly.
Seeing His Majesty's words, the chaotic hall soon fell silent.
A group of red-faced and thick-necked ministers all looked at Gongzi Yingluo.
"The minister is here."
Ying Luo is in his early forties, a talent, although he is of royal blood, but he is not a descendant of His Majesty.
is the great-great-grandson of King Xiaowen, who is also of the same root as His Majesty, a descendant of the Great Qin royal family, and in terms of generation, His Majesty is his uncle.
According to the laws of Great Qin, although he is a prince, if he does not have true talents, he will not be able to stand on the temple.
Since childhood, he has read poetry and books, and Ying Luo served as a political councillor in the court, with an age of 600 stones, and was under the jurisdiction of Lang Zhongling.
"The Imperial Shops are very important, and the Aiqing can't argue for it. I see that there is a commercial business department, under which there are two Cheng, and the imperial decree Yingluo is a commercial business order, with an annual salary of 1,005 stones, and the independent Jiuqing is outside. ”
"It is the same as the Black Ice Terrace, and enjoys exclusive rights, and is only responsible to me. The rest of the ministries are not allowed to interfere, what do you think? ”
Ying Zheng looked at everyone with a serious expression, although the words revealed the meaning of inquiry, but the tone could not be refused.
The ministers were stunned for a moment, their eyes widened, and they looked dumb and unspeakable.
They quarreled for a long time, and they quarreled for a long time, all of which were a joke.
His Majesty had no intention of letting them get involved in the empire's shops at all, and the reason why he did so was just to throw bricks and lead the way to block everyone's back road.
"There is only one shop in the empire, and all the Aiqing want to be under their own subordinates, and I am really embarrassed. In order to take into account the overall situation and the harmony of the ministers, I have to make this decision, you Aiqing should be able to understand my painstaking efforts, right? ”
Ying Zheng looked at the courtiers who were speechless, and said meaningfully.
The hearts of the people below were stunned.
Your Majesty's holy will has been decided, although you still have it in your heart, can you dare to say a word?
"Your Majesty is sacred, and the ministers will follow Your Majesty's holy words."
Everyone couldn't help it, so they could only pinch their noses and admit it.
"Minister, thank you for your order, and you will live up to Your Majesty's trust."
Ying Luo also hurriedly bowed and bowed.
He had waited too long for this day, and His Majesty had finally entrusted himself with a heavy responsibility.
Although their family is a relative of the emperor, they are close to the court, and although they live a decent life.
But after all, it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, coupled with His Majesty's new policy, collecting the fields of the world, and cultivating the people, the good life of their royal relatives is even more sad.
If you don't cut down on food and clothing, save money, and some of the family wealth passed down from your ancestors will always have a time when the mountain is empty.
The court's benevolence is never judged by blood, but only by merit.
After a few generations, Ying Luo is no longer strictly speaking, it is no longer a descendant, but can only be regarded as a collateral lineage.
If a few generations pass, there will be no outstanding people in their lineage, and they will make some meritorious achievements, but I am afraid that the court's favor will almost be broken.
Ying Luo can be said to be the hope of the entire family, and everyone hopes that he can contribute to the country and share the worries of His Majesty, so as to continue the prosperity of the family.
Six hundred years of Great Qin, how many descendants of the Ying family?
If all the emperor's relatives and relatives need the court's favor, I am afraid that this astronomical expenditure will be enough to crush any powerful empire.
According to the law of the royal family Fuze VII ended, the lord of Ze did not shelter.
It's like His Majesty's sons can get more or less shared, and His Majesty's grandsons, if they are not sons who inherit their father's business, can only be supported by the court.
And when it came to the great-grandchildren, the number of children decreased from generation to generation, until the seventh generation still had grandchildren.
"The first one is set, so let's talk about the second one!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand, and everyone returned to their places, and then asked.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since ancient times, the people have taken food as the sky, if they are hungry, they are not clothed, they have no place to live, and they have no rest, how can they reproduce and live?"
"Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, cares about the people of the world, works hard, and strives to save the broken mountains and rivers. As long as the court officials are clear and clear, and the monarchs and ministers are united, within a hundred years, the people of Daqin will inevitably enter a period of steady rise. ”
"Five hundred years of war, the world has been war-weary for a long time. Your Majesty's domination of the four seas and eight wildernesses is the will of heaven and the will of the people. Your Majesty's series of new policies are all good policies for raising the people, step by step, and over time, the people will be rich, and there is no need to carve a boat for a sword. ”
A counselor who was about half a hundred years old stood up and gushed to Yingzheng.
Everyone nodded in agreement with this point of view.
There are also some that although they do not agree completely, this statement is indeed irrefutable, and wait and see what happens.
Ying Zheng looked at the counselor, and his expression was neither happy nor sad, so that people could not see the slightest change.
Then he glanced around again and looked at all the ministers of civil and military affairs.
When everyone saw His Majesty's gaze, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly into His Majesty's eyes to show respect.
"A hundred years is too long!"
Ying Zheng retracted his gaze and suddenly sighed.
Everyone was shocked, His Majesty's life and death were the worst in his life.
Especially in recent years, His Majesty's health has deteriorated, and no one dares to say life and death.
The admonishing doctor's face immediately changed drastically, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.
"Your Majesty, the minister has no such intention!"
The counselor knelt down directly, and his heart was up and down, and he said in panic.
When these words fell, the hall was silent, and the silence was terrifying.
Many people pinch a cold sweat for this doctor who sings praises and does not have a long memory!
There are also some people who sneer in their hearts and flatter His Majesty?
Gee!
It's not fun to talk to yourself now!
Should......
The reason why the throne is high is because sitting on it can clearly see the faces of all beings below.
Many people's expressions were naturally taken in by Ying Zheng, and they were thoughtful.
If the king only gives grace and does not know power, it will only make his courtiers arrogant and arrogant.
If a king can only exert power and does not know how to give, it will only make his courtiers be cautious in their words and deeds.
The combination of grace and power, the art of power and scheming, it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, and it is done deliberately, but it is just a joke.
How many of those who can be among the temples are stupid?
Grace in form, prestige in power, joy and anger in the heart, not in color, every word and deed is grace.
The emperor is angry, and the mountains and rivers are discolored......
Emperor Yue, the sun and the moon are eternal......
Ying Zheng looked at the silent ministers, his face was silent, and he slowly stood up.
His tall and majestic posture can give people a sense of not being angry and self-assured, like the heaviness of Mount Tai.

Ying Zheng stepped down from the high throne, his face expressionless, and every step seemed to be full of rhythm, beating on everyone's hearts.
The counselor, who knelt down and was terrified in his heart, heard the sound of His Majesty's footsteps approaching, and his heart completely rose to his throat.
Until he saw His Majesty's big feet in front of his eyes, he buried his head deeply, as if his body was overwhelmed by the strength of a thousand jun, so that his breathing began to weaken.
Ying Zheng had a serious face, looked at the counselor who was trembling under his feet, suddenly showed a smile, and personally bent down to help the counselor under his feet.
Looking at the doctor with a blank and hesitant face, Ying Zheng said with a smile: "I know that there are many rumors in the market, saying that ministers are evil about life and death, and they like beautiful words. However, rumors are just rumors after all, and they should not be true. ”
"Your Majesty."
Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although His Majesty was just a fluttering word, but it undoubtedly relieved everyone.
Especially the counselor who is over half a hundred years old, he has a deep intuitive feeling of passing by the ghost gate.
Ying Zheng waved his hand at the frightened counselor and said, "Aiqing, step back for the time being!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
As if he had been granted amnesty, the counsellor hastened to thank him, and then regained his seat.
Ying Zheng stood in the center of the main hall, his body was straight and straight, although the eyes of thousands of people were focused on him, but he still seemed to be walking in the courtyard, ignoring it.
"Since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Yao Shunyu Soup, the Central Plains, the sons and daughters of China. Generations of blood, fighting all the people, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, ancestors herds. ”
Ying Zheng's voice is not big, but every word is fine, and every sentence carries a heavy historical fate, these are bloodstained words.
Everyone involuntarily emerged, and the sages of the Chinese land have never retreated from the magnificent ancient times to the present.
Whether it is a natural disaster of fierce beasts or a man-made disaster, this hot land will always produce heroes, save an era, and compose a magnificent song.
"The end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the four seas are served, the six are one, and the majestic Great Qin. There is Hu Di in the north, Qiangbi in the west, barbarian in the south to be killed, and Yi in the east can be expected. ”
"The sky is so wide, but it is incomprehensible. How wide the land is, but it is less than 100,000 miles. Occupy the fertile land and have millions of elite people. Ignore the enemies in all directions, and govern the people to be respected. ”
"According to Xiongguan, he cherishes himself, and he despises all the people and is arrogant. The civil and military are drunk and the dream is dead, and the people are happy and forgetful. Then he was born in sorrow, and died in peace. ”
"In the long run, how can Great Qin exist? Why do you care? ”
Ying Zheng's voice was like thunder, pointing directly at the hearts of the people.
In the face of His Majesty's soul torture, the ministers couldn't help but show a heavy contemplation on their faces, and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is Shengming, and the ministers are ashamed. ”
"Your Majesty's mind covers the ancient and modern, borrowing the history of the millennium, and the alarm bell of future generations."
"Your Majesty's ambition remains the same, and his original intention has not changed. Listening to His Majesty's words of caution, although the old minister is close to the age of sixties, he is still willing to serve the empire and be loyal to His Majesty. For the future generations to seek eternal blessings, for the Great Qin Empire to build an eternal foundation night, to the end of the force. ”
Wang Jian stood up with a surging heart, and bowed sincerely to Yingzheng who was standing in the center of the hall with a majestic posture.
"I am willing to serve the empire and be loyal to Your Majesty. For the future generations to seek eternal blessings, for the Great Qin Empire to build an indefatigable foundation, to do their best. ”
The ministers of civil and military affairs in the palace couldn't help but be in awe at this moment, abandoning their prejudices, and all of them said from the bottom of their hearts.
Maybe in this life, they have said too many insincere words and inappropriate words, but at this moment, they feel that their hearts, which have been silent for many years, are boiling again.
A seven-foot man, ambitious in all directions, if he can serve the country, hold a three-foot sword, expand the territory, and go down in history, who doesn't want to?
Looking back at the young man,
Passionate and heart-warming.
Ten years of cold window nights,
Only to repay the king.
Writing and writing, shaping the industry of thousands of years, and building the foundation of eternity, who doesn't read it?
However, the ups and downs of officialdom, after a long period of sophistication, have been crawling for many years, and enjoy the glory of the prosperous world, how many people still maintain their original intentions?
"As long as the Great Qin Empire is united, why worry about the indestructibility of the Quartet?"
Ying Zheng walked back to his throne, sat down, and looked at this scene, and couldn't help but be arrogant.
"Your Majesty, my Huaxia clan has been blessed with many sons and grandchildren since ancient times, but the people take food as the sky, and what restricts the population growth of Daqin is not that the people are unwilling to give birth, but that the food is limited and cannot provide for the extra mouths to eat."
"In addition, the people are suffering, the children are already weak, and many disasters have caused disasters, and more than half of the ten children have died young. Don't talk about the people, let's just say that among the princes and ministers here, how many of them have no children in their homes? ”
Feng Quji arched his hand at Ying Zheng, and said very insightfully.
"Yes, what the Imperial Doctor said is very true."
"That's true."
"Insightful."
Feng Quji's words immediately resonated with everyone.
Ying Zheng looked pensive, then nodded and said, "What Aiqing said is reasonable. ”
"Where is Fengchang [one of the Nine Qings]?"
Ying Zheng's words changed sharply, and he directly named him.
Feng Changqing immediately stood up, walked to the main hall, and bowed to Yingzheng: "The old minister is here." ”
"You are the Fengchang of the Great Qin Empire, in charge of the sacrificial rites, and the Taile Imperial Doctor, I ask you how many doctors there are in the Great Qin Empire?"
Ying Zheng asked lightly.
"Your Majesty, although the Imperial Physician Order in charge of the witch doctor is subordinate to the old minister, but the Standing Division performs its own duties and has a different division of labor, I am afraid that Your Majesty will ask the Imperial Physician for this specific number."
Feng Changqing's heart was weak, and when he said this, he was very worried.
"Hah! Ha! Hah!"
Ying Zheng suddenly burst out laughing, startling everyone.
What's going on?
Everyone's heads are full of questions?
Sure enough, the power of heaven is unpredictable!
"Bastard...... As Feng Changqing, you are 2,000 stones, with a silver seal and a green ribbon, and you are the marquis of Guannei, and you are the secretary. ”
Ying Zheng's laughter stopped abruptly, staring coldly at Feng Changqing Zhao Fu, and reprimanded angrily.
"Your Majesty is angry, and the old minister is guilty."
Feng Changqing Zhao Fu didn't dare to meet His Majesty's gaze, and hurriedly knelt down and said tremblingly.
"Feng Quji, according to the Great Qin Law, how should the crime of dereliction of duty be punished?"
Ying Zheng ignored Feng Changqing, who knelt down and begged for mercy, but asked Feng Quji.
Feng Qujian chuckled in his heart, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he had done his homework enough, so he wouldn't be unable to answer.
Although the Great Qin Law Decree was compiled by Li Si, if you want to ask who is most familiar with this Great Qin Law Order, I am afraid that no one in the entire Great Qin will be able to surpass His Majesty.
His Majesty seemed to ask himself, but he did not mean to test himself.
"Back to Your Majesty, according to the laws of Great Qin, *****, whether the circumstances are serious or not, the serious will be dismissed from office and exiled for 3,000 miles. If it is light, he will be demoted to three levels and fined for three months to see the after-effects. ”
After Feng Quji cleared his thoughts, he replied with some trepidation.
"Well, what does the prime minister think Feng Changqing should do?"
Ying Zheng did not express his thoughts, but asked Feng Qujian for advice.
This......
Feng Quji looked at Ying Zheng, but His Majesty's face was unwavering, and he had no way to guess His Majesty's holy will.
For a while, he hesitated a little, this matter is said to be small, but it can be big, the key is to see His Majesty's attitude.
Full of exile?
Is it too harsh?
Demotion and demotion?
Is Your Majesty satisfied?
Feng Quji's heart was up and down, and he was in a dilemma.
"Return, return to Your Majesty...... The minister thought that although Fengchang was guilty of dereliction of duty, he could remember that he was a relative of the emperor, and if he was exiled for 3,000 miles because of this, he was afraid that he would be criticized by the world. ”
"It's better to be a third-level general and punish him for one year to set an example, what does Your Majesty think?"
Feng Qujian thought about it a little in his heart, and then said it very tactfully.
"Then, according to what the prime minister said, the imperial decree removed Feng Changqing from the post of Yingrui, demoted to Dazai, and fined him for one year."
Ying Zheng nodded, and immediately clapped his head.
Feng Changqing Yingrui breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and glanced at Feng Quji gratefully.
This is undoubtedly the best result, although he lost his position as Feng Changqing, but no family was exiled.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Feng Changqing Yingrui hurriedly thanked him.
Ying Zheng didn't speak, but waved his hand.
Ying Rui hurriedly returned to his seat, and only then did he realize that the clothes on his back had already been soaked with sweat.
"What you Aiqing said is very much in line with my heart. People regard food as their sky, and they have been the same since ancient times. Daqin is vast and sparsely populated, with thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, but there are only tens of millions of people. ”
"The wasteland is geometric, and manpower is stretched. Everything in the world, no matter what you want to do, is inseparable from people. The platform of a thousand layers starts from the soil. The wood of the hug is born at the end of the millennium. The end of the chaos is the beginning of the great rule. ”
"Beyond the East China Sea, across the ocean, there is a staple grain in the land of Panyu. Because it is produced outside the fan, it is called sweet potato, and the yield per mu is thousands of catties, and the grain worries are solved. ”
"I formed the Imperial Navy, one of which welcomed sweet potatoes into Great Qin to solve the worries of the world. Second, beyond the vast sea, there are many islands. Occupy it, enter the people who can conquer the four seas, retreat to the fortress of the sea and the ocean, and the people of the royal family are outside the country. ”
Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with fine light, and he said with words.
Forehead!
After Ying Zheng finished speaking, everyone finally cleared their minds.
Your Majesty, this third article is simply to pave the way for the fourth one!
If the name is not right, it is not good!
If the Imperial Navy went overseas and worked to solve the problem of eating all living beings in the Great Qin world, it would be completely different.
If it is simply to cross the ocean, it is to work the people and lose money, and the army is also reckless.
But it was converted by His Majesty, and in an instant, the Imperial Navy's crossing of the ocean became a major event of the country.
It is a matter of feeding all the people of the world, and this is the top priority of the Empire.
Originally, some ministers who were ready to persuade His Majesty to revoke it, or even a small-scale navy, were instantly gagged.
At this time, how else can they object?
If you insist on going your own way, then you are the enemy of the whole world?
"Your Majesty, I think that the Imperial Navy should collect 50,000 in order to proclaim the supreme majesty of our Great Qin Empire."
"Your Majesty, I think I need at least 100,000 sea masters."
"Your Majesty, if the navy will travel to other places, if there are too few, it is not enough to show the majestic national prestige of Great Qin, and it is even more difficult to show your majesty's brilliant heavenly might."
"Your Majesty......"
For a time, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all spoke, and almost all of them were in favor of the Imperial Navy sailing across the ocean.
Of course, some people are happy and some are sad, and there are a very small number of conservative and upright people who are silent.
Looking at the joyful and high-spirited appearance of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, they were not optimistic about the imperial navy crossing the ocean to unknown places.
Since ancient times, the vast ocean has been a forbidden area for humans.
On the coast of the adjacent sea, although there are many fishing boats going out to sea to hunt, they only haunt the coastal sea.
No one dares to set foot in the deep sea, and those who go to the deep sea have never heard of anyone who can come back.
"Your Majesty, the minister is lonely and unheard, only heard that the vast sea is boundless, hundreds of miles away from the sea, and people are not divided into the north and south. From time to time, there are monstrous waves that tear apart all those who dare to set foot in the deep sea. ”
At this moment, Yushi Cheng Bailihua stood up and reminded Yingzheng.
Sure enough, his words were like a basin of cold water, pouring directly on everyone's heads.
Many ministers were shocked, and only then did they think of the many terrifying rumors about the forbidden area of the sea since ancient times.
Ying Zheng was not surprised, picked up a disc from the table in front of him and said: "This is an improved version of Sinan, I call it a compass, no matter where you are, it can let you see the direction." ”
The ministers below suddenly widened their pupils, they had never seen such a strange and delicate thing.
Who is this from?
"Bring up the chart."
Ying Zheng put down the compass in his hand, and then said to the eunuch.
"Your Majesty has a decree to bring the nautical chart to the palace."
The eunuch stood aside and immediately shouted.
Soon, more than a dozen chamberlains walked up carrying a huge roll of brocade cloth, and in full view of everyone, they slowly unfolded the brocade cloth in a very orderly manner and spread it directly in the center of the main hall.
"Ah......h
"This ......"
The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty stood up in shock one by one as they looked at the gradually unfolding nautical charts, and almost didn't stare out of their eyes when they looked at the incomparably detailed nautical charts.
What is this modusion?
Can a map still be drawn like this?
It was the first time they had lived so long to see such a detailed, self-explanatory map.
Many of these generals have been working with maps all year round, but they have never seen such a detailed map.
Ying Zheng ignored the shocked crowd, but stood up and stepped directly on the map step by step.
"This is Daqin."
Ying Zheng stood on the map, stepping on the map marked with the Great Qin Empire and depicted in black.
"This is the Liaodong Peninsula, and I want to build an imperial naval fortress in the Bohai Sea. And the Jizi Kingdom, the Chen Kingdom must enter the Qin, so that the Bohai Bay can be regarded as the inland sea of the empire in the true sense. ”
"Take the Jizi, the Chen Kingdom, and the soldiers will come to the four islands of Yingzhou, so that the southeast of Daqin can be worry-free."
Ying Zheng moved a big foot from the territory of Great Qin and stepped directly on the four islands of Jizi, Chenguo and Yingzhou, and was extremely domineering.
"Xiangjun goes south, the Yue can be destroyed with a snap of a finger, the west crosses the Mei River, and the fertile land of the central and southern parts of the country can be destroyed in the near future."
When Ying Zheng said this, a smile of relief couldn't help but appear on his face.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Great Qin Wannian."
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also overjoyed, and the expansion of the empire was also a good thing for them.
After all, they are both prosperous and loss-making with the empire.
As long as the empire does not fall, their family can stand.
"As long as you take Zhongnan, all the islands in the South China Sea will be in the bag of Great Qin."
"Crossing east along the bag land, straight to Anlu, everything that Daqin needs is here."
Ying Zheng walked to the top of the bag land, stepped on it with his big feet, and then looked at the Indian continent and the Anda continent road far away from the ocean.
At this moment, where can the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty not understand that His Majesty is determined to be in the four seas, not in a corner.
But looking at this vast map, I am afraid that it will not be achieved overnight, and I am afraid that it will take many generations to fight for it!
