Zhangtai Palace is the place of the great court, Li Si took the civil and military officials all the way, coupled with the towering and steep steps of Zhangtai Palace, they were panting one by one, and they looked as embarrassed as they were.

After a little trimming in Zhangtai Palace, they roughly tidied up their clothes, and then walked into the main hall of Zhangtai Palace in an orderly manner according to the size of their official ranks.

Ying Zheng sat on a high throne, looking down on the ministers one after another, silent, and without any expression on his face.

Zhao Zhong stood on the side of the high platform, and when he saw the civil and military ministers in place, he immediately shouted: "At the beginning of the new year, carry virtue and abundance, God bless Daqin, eternal eternal prosperity, kneel ......"

The civil and military officials below immediately knelt down, put their hands together and straightened, and put them on their chests.

Usually, the court meeting does not need to bow down, and only in the worship of the heavens and ancestors and the annual court meeting, it is necessary to bow and bow.

"Say goodbye to ......"

Zhao Zhong continued to shout.

Under the vast Zhangtai Palace, the civil and military ministers bowed their heads respectfully, saluted His Majesty the First Emperor, and shouted: "Your Majesty for ten thousand years, Great Qin for ten thousand years." ”

"Second Worship......"

"Three Worships ......"

"Finished."

After the complicated rituals were executed, Zhao Zhong stood aside without saying a word.

The civil and military ministers knelt on the futon, and looked at Yingzheng who was sitting on the throne in the center of Zhangtai Palace.

"Ahem......"

In the silent hall of Zhangtai Palace, Yingzheng let out a few violent coughs.

It's just that soon Yingzheng returned to normal, and he glanced at the ministers with great majesty, and where his gaze touched, the ministers below all bowed their heads to show respect.

"I patrol the world, and during the time I am not in Xianyang, I have worked hard for you Aiqing."

Ying Zheng's voice makes people can't hear joy, anger and sorrow, his voice is not loud, but it echoes in the main hall of Zhangtai Palace, lingering in everyone's ears.

Everyone listened patiently, and no one dared to interrupt His Majesty.

"The war in southern Xinjiang is still continuing, the war in northern Xinjiang has just been over, and the war in western Xinjiang is about to start."

"All the ministers should work together, abandon political opinions, and put national affairs first."

Ying Zheng's voice was loud and he said a lot of words.

After Ying Zheng finished talking, Zhao Zhong opened his mouth again and shouted: "Your Majesty has a will, if you have something to do, you will play it early, and you will retreat from the court if you have nothing to do." ”

"Chen Feng is going to get sick, and he will play Your Majesty."

At this moment, the imperial historian Feng Qujian stood up and bowed to Yingzheng.

"Aiqing said it bluntly."

Ying Zheng looked at Feng who stood up and walked to the center of the main hall.

"The land of China has been plagued by five hundred years of war, wolf smoke everywhere, and the people in the world are miserable."

"Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, sweeping Liuhe, and all the countries of the world are one, and all the sons of the world are one family."

"To end the five hundred years of troubled times, this is the merit of the world, and the great cause of a thousand years."

"Your Majesty's cultivation of straight roads, roads leading to Kyushu, spiritual canals, and wide opening of commerce and trade are the foundation of benefiting the country and the people, and the ministers are speechless."

"Your Majesty built palaces and imperial tombs, ancient and modern emperors have them, and people have common feelings. With His Majesty's literary talent and martial virtue, the minister was speechless to refute. ”

"Your Majesty raised 300,000 armor soldiers, attacked the Xiongnu in the north, recovered the Hetao, expanded the land for thousands of miles, and shocked Hu Di, as a subject of the empire, he was also deeply proud and proud, and he did not need to be pecked."

"Your Majesty marched south to Baiyue, waving 500,000 people, fighting for several years, Fujian, Dongou, and Xiou, all of which have entered Qin. The minister tried his best to oppose it, but His Majesty rejected the minister's humble opinion. ”

"The empire has been ruling the world for four years, but the empire has been fighting for many years, conquering the south and the north, and the fortifications are huge. Three out of ten of the people are in service, and five or six out of ten of the grain are used for front-line warfare and engineering construction. ”

"Your Majesty's desire to expand the unprecedented territory and promote the prestige of our China is indeed a feat of merit."

"Dare to fight, please take a look at the people of the Great Qin Empire!"

"Look at the Empire's Treasury Revenues and Expenditures, and Look at the Taxes that Increase Year by Year......"

Imperial Doctor Feng went to talk a lot, worried, blood and tears, kneeling on the top of the hall and said.

Feng Quji's words made everyone in the hall gasp, and one by one they were nervous, and they looked at His Majesty with no joy or sorrow in horror.

Is this Feng Qujian crazy?

Is this a sarcasm of Your Majesty, a tyrant?

But not everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death, and there are many iron-clad ministers.

Twelve out of ten officials from all over the country stood up and knelt down, they felt the same way as Feng Quji, and their voices were sad and loud: "Your Majesty." ”

Ying Zheng was as stable as Mount Tai, sitting on the throne, watching the scene in front of him with cold eyes.

He is not the hairy boy who first ascended the throne, but the first emperor who swept Liuhe and shocked the world.

This kind of scene, he doesn't know how much he has experienced in his life, so he will ignore it.

Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si, who was hanging his head, and then said, "I don't know what Prime Minister Li Cheng thinks?" ”

Sure enough, Ying Zheng's words immediately made all the ministers who knelt down turn their eyes to Li Si, the head of the hundred officials.

You must know that Your Majesty has many national policies, all of which are planned and operated by Li Si, if Prime Minister Li Cheng can advise Your Majesty together with himself and others, he will definitely be able to let His Majesty stop the army and support the people.

Li Si secretly complained in his heart, Your Majesty has pushed himself to the sword!

If they cater to the Sacred Heart, these officials will inevitably have an opinion of their own hearts, and they will inevitably fall into a notorious reputation for being inflammatory, flattering, and flattering to the Lord and seeking glory.

But if it is against the Sacred Heart?

His Majesty already has a heart for himself, he is not a stupid person, he has already felt it in his heart, otherwise His Majesty would not have been on the way to the south, so he took the lead in sending himself back.

Soon, after weighing left and right, Li Si had a plan in his heart, and immediately stood up, bowed to Yingzheng and said: "Your Majesty, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." ”

"It's not for nothing that Dr. Yu Shi is worried about. The world has been in turmoil for a long time, the people's livelihood is withering, and the people's lives are poor and hard, which is the consensus of the world. ”

Li Si first complimented His Majesty, and then said that what the imperial historian Mao Jiao said was reasonable and well-founded, but he never refused to express his opinion.

Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si meaningfully, being in a high position, which had already made him begin to undergo subtle changes.

Less enterprising, more sleek and sophisticated.

The destruction of the Six Nations is only the beginning, not the end.

Although Feng Quji's words are reasonable and well-founded, how can he not understand?

But it's just a one-sided statement, before the unification of the world, there will be fewer servitudes for the people of the Seven Kingdoms?

The countries are fighting, and the people of all countries not only have to serve more complicated and more conscription than they are now, but also have to go to the battlefield with men from every family, and the number of war dead is not more than millions?

Whether it is digging mountains and ditches, or paving bridges and roads, it is a policy for the benefit of the country and the people.

Besides, the war has just subsided, if there is no imperial court servants, how many families will be able to eat?

How many more people will starve to death?

Most of the people who serve as conscripts are young and strong, and the court gives them food, reducing the burden of the people in the world and benefiting all places, which is a good policy, not a tyrannical government.

If these people are allowed to starve, they will die horizontally and vertically, and will not they add chaos to the empire?

When the soldiers of the six countries return to the fields, if they don't have enough to eat and find something to do, do they want to make them rebel?

Pedantic!

For example, if it has been unified for several years, most of the barren fields have been restored, and the order of the world is thriving.

Various projects have also been suspended, and he was already preparing to open up the Western Regions Corridor, capture Yuyue, and after finding the Champa rice, he would raise the people in the fields.

"Prime Minister Li means that what Feng Quji said is reasonable, and I am a tyrant without a way, a mediocre lord who expropriates tyranny and misers?"

Ying Zheng put aside his distracting thoughts, looked at Li Si with deep eyes, and said in a tepid tone.

Li Si immediately knelt down, and hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, there is absolutely no disrespect in the death of a minister."

"Oh? Then I don't understand, what did Prime Minister Li Cheng mean by what he said before? ”

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si, who was kneeling on top of the hall, crawling and trembling, and asked coldly.

Although it was winter, Li Si felt that his back clothes were soaked with sweat, and he knew that His Majesty was forcing himself to make a statement.

His Majesty did not like this vague answer, he was too clever to think of himself.

"Your Majesty, the Yellow River is harmful, but only rich is one set. The Hetao area has fertile land and a vast territory, and it will become another granary of the Great Qin Empire. ”

"The Xihai prairie occupied by the Yue's people, as well as the Qilian Mountain grassland, are all fertile places with water and grass, if they can be recovered by the empire, plus the Hetao grassland, it is enough for the empire to support hundreds of thousands of Great Qin Iron Horsemen."

Li Si crawled on the ground, didn't dare to play tricks anymore, and hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, I am a great Qin, with a vast territory, a thriving people, Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, General Meng Tian and General Wang Ben are brave and good at fighting, how can Hu Di resist the military might of Great Qin, and the minister feels that what Prime Minister Li Cheng said is reasonable."

"Your Majesty, Luoyue is located in the south of Great Qin, and the south is uncertain, so a large number of troops will be deployed.

"Your Majesty, the minister agrees."

Li Siquan leaned towards the government and the opposition, was a very popular minister, and was full of protégés and former officials in the court.

As soon as he spoke, half of the officials who had been quietly watching the changes spoke out to refute the imperial historian Feng Qujian and support the empire's westward expedition.

"What do you think?"

Ying Zhengba looked at the ministers who were still waiting to see what was going on, wanting to be offended, and asked.

The remaining half of the ministers saw His Majesty's gaze and immediately lowered their heads.

"Your Majesty Shengming, the minister agrees with the Western Expedition, and he will finish his work in one battle, and he will never suffer for future generations."

They are all full of scriptures and books, and they have been in officialdom for decades, and if they still can't see His Majesty's determination to go west to conquer the Yue clan, then they will be in vain.

"Feng Aiqing, you see? United, you're making it hard for me to do this. ”

Ying Zheng never mentioned a word about the Western Expedition, but with just a few words, he instantly reversed the situation and isolated those ministers who opposed the Western Expedition.

Feng Qu smiled bitterly and sighed deeply in his heart.

His Majesty is eloquent and strategic, with the majesty of the unparalleled Holy Lord, and he is arbitrary in the court.

He is just doing his duty as a courtier, and as for how His Majesty adopts it, it is not up to him to control.

"Your Majesty."

If he insists on going his own way, it will only displease His Majesty and shame his colleagues in various ministries.

In the imperial situation, if you can't recognize the general trend, then you, the imperial historian, would have abdicated a long time ago.

It cannot be changed, what is needed now is the unity of the upper and lower levels, and the Manchu Dynasty is united in its civil and military efforts to end the war as soon as possible.

"Feng Aiqing, in this expedition to the west, the Duke of Huguo has scattered all his family property and vigorously supported money and food."

"Logistics and transportation, I am ready to requisition 500,000 prisoners to Longxi and Bashu."

Ying Zheng glanced at Feng Quji, who was a little lonely and melancholy, and said meaningfully.

When Feng Quji heard this, he was stunned, and then looked at Ying Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, protect the country and be righteous, let the ministers be ashamed, and the ministers are also willing to donate half of their family wealth to support the empire's westward expedition to the Yue clan." ”

Ying Zheng saw that Feng Quji's attitude changed drastically, first he opposed his western expedition, and when he saw that he could not do anything, he began to worry about the western expedition.

Such a minister is exactly what Great Qin needs!

If the Great Qin and Manchu dynasties were like this, why can't they conquer the four seas? Dang Qing Yidi?
