Chapter 112 The defeated soldiers began to be rogues, and the people of the mourning state could not carry their stomachs
"Recruit 30,000 elites from all over the country to form the Imperial Navy, who can be the general?"
Ying Zheng opened his mouth again and asked the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu.
"Your Majesty, this map is so vast, 30,000 people is a bit small, right?"
Imperial Doctor Feng Qujian bowed his hand again.
"Although Baiyue is extinguished, Zhongnan is not peaceful. There are still Donghu Xiongnu in the north of Xinjiang, and the Yueshi is cautious and often disturbs the border. ”
"Beyond the four seas, Fanyi is beyond the reach of the whip, and the outside needs to be settled first, and when the Great Qin Empire is no longer in boundless trouble, and the country is rich and the people are strong, it is the best time to expedition overseas, spread the prestige of China, and practice the education of the royal road."
Ying Zheng glanced at Feng Qujian meaningfully, and said meaningfully.
"Your Majesty."
Feng Qujian was ashamed, it was indeed too abrupt.
I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, such a large territory is indeed not something that one or two generations can do.
"Who can be a general, lead the army across the ocean to welcome sweet potatoes back home?"
Ying Zheng glanced around with a deep gaze and asked again.
For a moment, the hall fell silent again.
Everyone knows very well in their hearts that this is to set foot in the deep sea, the road is far away, and there will be dangers along the way, and life and death are unpredictable.
"What? When the time comes for the empire to need you, are you all dumb? ”
Ying Zheng's face was gloomy, and he looked at the silent crowd, and said with annoyance.
"Your Majesty, my son Mengzhan has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child, and he can share worries and solve problems for His Majesty."
Just when the main hall was silent, Meng Yi stood up and said solemnly.
"Meng Qing, you seem to be the son of Meng Zhan, the general of Zuo Zhonglang, right?"
Ying Zheng stared at Meng Yi with a moving expression.
"Back to Your Majesty, my brother still has an heir under his knees, even if the child dies overseas for the country, there are still descendants of the Montessori to continue the incense, please rest assured."
What kind of person Meng Yi is, he can be deeply respected by His Majesty, and his heart and mind are absolutely beyond the reach of others.
"Well, Montessori is really loyal and brave."
"The right middle lang will be in battle."
Ying Zheng praised Meng Yi, and then shouted again.
"General, meet Your Majesty."
A young general in his early twenties stood up and bowed to Ying Zheng.
"You're terrible to death?"
Ying Zheng's gaze turned to Meng Zhan, the younger generation of the empire, and asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, who can live without dying? If you can be loyal to Your Majesty and sacrifice your life for the empire, you will never give up. ”
Meng Zhan did not hesitate at all, and said with iron bones.
"Very good, the Great Qin Empire needs a young talent like General Meng, if the young men of the empire are as iron-clad as General Meng, Great Qin stands proudly in the world, why fear all the enemies in the world?"
Ying Zheng was full of praise for Meng Zhan.
Hu Hai, a rebel, if he can be kind to Zhongliang, why did the Great Qin Empire collapse?
Did I influence them too deeply?
Ying Zheng's heart sighed, and there were some pains.
"General, Your Majesty Xie appreciates."
Meng Zhan was very happy in his heart, and it was a supreme honor to be praised by His Majesty.
To know what His Majesty has done, which man of the empire does not admire him?
Zhen Chang strategy and Yu Yu, swallow two weeks and die princes, perform the supreme and control Liuhe, and whip the world.
Send generals to shock the Quartet, drive thousands of times and punish hundreds of Yue, build Xiongguan and guard the fence, and deter all the people and look at Qin timidly.
"The imperial decree made Wang Li, the deputy general of the Northern Army, the Admiral Huwei of the Imperial Navy, commander of the navy and the first army."
"Feng Youzhong Lang will be the right general of the Imperial Navy, in charge of the Second Army of the Navy."
"Feng Zuo Zhonglang will make Bai Hong the general of the Imperial Navy Jingyuan Zuo, and he is in charge of the Third Army of the Navy."
"Feng Gongzi Fusu is the imperial navy supervisor, coordinating logistics and appeasing the morale of the army."
Ying Zheng directly opened his mouth and made arrangements, and his voice was full of majesty.
The civil and military officials below smiled bitterly in their hearts, and His Majesty said that it was for the civil and military officials to discuss.
In fact, I have already lined up in my heart, but it is just a formality!
"The last general will be in battle, and the order is grateful."
"The last general, Bai Hong, is grateful."
Meng Zhan and Bai Hong both stood up, walked to the center of the main hall, and bowed their hands.
"Go ahead! You go home to meet your families, and then you set off for the Bohai harbor to supervise the construction of warships and train soldiers. ”
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said meaningfully.
"The last will be retired."
Meng Zhan and Bai Hong immediately received the order.
Ying Zheng looked at the backs of the two of them in the distance, and his eyes were a little distracted.
Whether it is Wang Li, or Meng Zhan, Bai Hong, they are all great Qin nobles, and with them controlling the navy and crossing the ocean, there is no need to worry about rebellion.
Moreover, Fusu was deeply influenced by Confucianism, and having Fusu supervising the army was equivalent to another insurance for the imperial navy.
It is not that there is too much suspicion, but that there is no great fault in being cautious, and this action is very important, and there is no room for semi-distraction.
The rebellion of tens of thousands of people is not in his eyes, but sweet potatoes, potatoes, and chili peppers are all things that Great Qin must get.
"Spread the edict to Beiguan, summon the deputy general Wang Li to return to Xianyang immediately to see the driver."
Ying Zheng glanced at Zhao Zhongdao, who was standing aside and waiting.
"If you obey the order, you can do it."
Zhao Zhong immediately received the order, and then left.
"Everyone, let's discuss Article 5!"
Although Ying Zheng has already made a decision in his heart, he will be clear if he listens to it, and if he believes it carefully, he may have better suggestions by listening to the opinions of these ministers.
If this is the case, I will naturally be happy to adopt it.
"Your Majesty, is this move too exciting?"
Imperial Doctor Feng Qujian hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.
"Imperial Decree, Handan County Shou Li Nian intends to rebel and raze the three clans."
Ying Zheng suddenly changed his words and ordered.
It immediately caused an uproar in the Manchu Dynasty, and they all started to talk about it.
Feng Quji was also stunned by His Majesty's words, he just said whether it was exciting or not with his front foot, and His Majesty was even more exciting this time!
"How did Your Majesty know that Li Nian rebelled? With whom are you conspiring with? And why is it the opposite? ”
Tingwei Wang Xuan frowned, stepped forward and spoke.
Li Nian is a Zhao native and a nobleman, and his prestige in Handan County is very high.
If there is no evidence, I am afraid that it will cause worldwide criticism.
If this provokes everyone in the old land of the Six Nations to endanger themselves, I am afraid that it will not end well.
As the highest judicial magistrate of the empire, Wang Xuan felt that he had to ask a clear question at this time.
"Li Zuoche of Handan County is the grandson of Li Mu, the general of Zhao State, and Li Nian colluded with Li Zuoche in an attempt to subvert the rule of Great Qin in Zhao, and his crime is unforgivable."
Ying Zheng naturally won't say anything, the laws of Great Qin are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and murder is not punished.
Li Nian and Li Zuoche have a close personal relationship, and behind him is Zhao Xie, the remnant of the Zhao royal family.
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military minds of the Manchu Dynasty became active.
His Majesty said that there is a nose and an eye, and everyone has all doubts.
After all, no one in this world knows that His Majesty has the Black Ice Observatory, the world's largest intelligence network organization, in his hands.
Looking at His Majesty's posture, Zhao Di is only afraid that there will be another turmoil, and it is by no means just one Li Nian who can calm down.
"Leave this matter to Captain Ting!"
Ying Zheng looked at Tingwei Wang Xuan and explained.
"Commandment."
Tingwei Wang Xuan immediately received the order, and the only remaining doubts in his heart were gone.
His Majesty's move is undoubtedly firm in Li Nian's rebellion, and the evidence is ironclad.
Therefore, it was handed over to Tingwei for investigation and handling, so as to reassure the hearts of the people in the world.
"Your Majesty, can you ask Hei Bingtai to transfer the evidence of Li Nian's rebellion to Yu Tingwei?"
Wang Xuan hesitated for a moment and asked softly.
"You send someone from the Imperial Lieutenant Office to Handan, and then someone from the Black Ice Platform will hand over the corresponding matters to your Imperial Lieutenant Bureau."
A year ago, Ying Zheng asked Hei Bingtai to start collecting evidence of the crimes of officials in the old land of the Six Kingdoms, taking the empire's fortunes, but he didn't think about being loyal to the monarch and serving the country.
Is it all reversed west of the river?
Take my kindness as weakness, and I will make you understand that those who betray the empire will die without a place to be buried.
"The minister will send someone to do it immediately."
Tingwei Wang Xuan bowed again.
"For example, it has been more than four years since the reunification today, and the temporary strategy to appease the nobles of the six countries in the past is no longer appropriate."
"What do you think?"
Ying Zheng once again threw a bombshell, causing an uproar in the Manchu civil and military forces.
"Your Majesty, the Chu people govern Chu and know the etiquette and music of Jing Chu, the Wei people govern Wei Fang and know the prosperity of Fuwei, and the Zhao people govern Zhao Fang and know the customs of Zhao......"
Doctor Taizhong walked out and admonished Yingzheng.
"You mean that the Qin people don't know etiquette? Guanzhong is not as prosperous as Weidi? Zhao Zhi's custom is not Daqin's custom? ”
Ying Zheng's face was grim, staring at Doctor Taizhong, and asked word by word.
Doctor Taizhong immediately lowered his head, with a stunned expression.
Is that what you mean?
Obviously, it is said that the Chu people are more aware of the customs and customs of the Chu land than the people in other places, the Wei people understand the trade and trade of the Wei land better, and the Zhao people know better that the people of the Zhao land are fierce.
How did it come to His Majesty's mouth that his words had completely changed?
What a sin of disrespect!
Where did he dare to say more, he could only honestly bow his head and stand there, looking like a child who had done something wrong, waiting for his parents to punish him.
"Your Majesty, if the Zhao people rule Chu, the Chu people rule Wei, and the Wei people rule Zhao, where does the prestige of the government exist?"
Dr. Zhong also stood up and exited.
"Are the Chu people, the Zhao people, the Yan people, the Wei people, the Qi people, the Han people in this world? Or is it Daqin's? The prestige of the government must be maintained by the local magnates, so what is the use of the government? ”
Ying Zheng asked rhetorically again.
"Your Majesty, although the Six Kingdoms of Shandong are dead, they can govern the vast land of the Six Kingdoms, if there is no support from the local nobles, how can the decrees of the court officials pass?"
The counselor stepped forward and spoke.
"Then it's better to give up the land of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong and let them restore their autonomy, how about the Qin people shrink into Guanzhong?"
Ying Zheng is not salty and indifferent.
"Your Majesty's order needs to be cautious, and it will affect the whole body, if the old six countries rise up, I am afraid it will shake the foundation of the country."
Yu Shi Cheng Bailihua was also worried.
"I give them a chance, if I can sweep the Six Kingdoms once, I can dominate the world a second time, and destroy the Six Kingdoms again. I want to see who in this world can shake the Great Qin Empire. ”
Ying Zheng sat on the throne, his expression was light, and although his voice was not loud, he exuded endless domineering.
"Your Majesty is mighty, Great Qin Wannian."
Suddenly, the ministers of civil and military affairs in the hall all stood up, bowed to Yingzheng, and said respectfully.
Many people with intelligent minds have already read the unusual meaning from His Majesty's words.
Your Majesty is simply forcing the nobles of the Six Kingdoms to rebel, so that they can be justifiably destroyed.
"From today on, the Chu people do not govern Chu, the Zhao people do not govern Zhao, the Yan people do not govern Yan, the Qi people do not govern Qi, the Wei people do not govern Wei, the Han people do not govern Han, and the Qin people do not govern Qin."
"Ten years for a term, transfer to the nearest place, up to the county guard, down to the county order, all the officials of the empire are not allowed to be officials in their hometowns, and those who violate the order are dismissed from office."
Ying Zheng's words are like a boulder falling from the sky and falling into the calm sea, setting off a monstrous wave.
"Your Majesty's Sacred Sayings."
All the ministers of civil and military affairs immediately stood up and bowed their hands.
Some people are happy and some are worried, but whenever the new policy is reformed and implemented, there are beneficiaries and those whose interests are damaged.
But in any case, under His Majesty's tough attitude, who can reverse the surging trend?
If you can't, you can only follow the trend, otherwise you will hit your head and break the bloodstream, or even be convicted.
"I feel that my energy is not as good as before, and today all of you Aiqing are here, so I will discuss the princes, who can bear the burden of the prince."
Ying Zheng looked at the ministers who had just been done, and said again in shock.
The ministers below immediately exchanged their heads and began to discuss.
His Majesty has nearly thirty sons, most of whom are crowned.
Among the sons, the eldest son, Fusu, is the most outstanding, and he has a good reputation.
Regardless of the government and the opposition, who doesn't know the name of the eldest son, Fusu?
"Your Majesty, the eldest son, Fusu, is benevolent and humble, and should be the prince."
"Minister, second."
"Minister, second."
After Yushi Cheng Bailihua took the lead in speaking, he immediately attracted most of the ministers to second.
Only Li Si, Feng Quji, Wang Qian, Meng Yi and others, because they were in a high position, were deeply valued by His Majesty, and they did not dare to express their position before the Sacred Heart was revealed.
There are also a small number of ministers, who are either in high positions or the sons of nobles who have received the emperor's favor.
Their family has been officials for generations, and they are well aware of the cruelty of the palace struggle, and they are unwilling to express their position easily.
On the other hand, those who strongly recommend the eldest son to help Su are either rootless Pingping, or some idle officials who have no authority.
The ministers who are really in power are almost all very tacitly silent.
They are already extremely human, and they don't have the heart of those petty officials to cling to.
Ying Zheng looked at the hall full of civil and military almost one voice, and he strongly recommended Fusu.
In addition to three points of relief in my heart, there are seven points of vigilance.
Although none of the ministers who hold the power have expressed their position, it can be seen from this that the whole leopard is known.
They didn't say it because they understood who was the supreme lord of this Great Qin and who gave them supreme glory.
Except for those who are not liked by Fusu, most of them should be the same as these people who strongly recommend Fusu, and they support the eldest son Fusu as the prince.
Meng Tian is his confidant, but he is also a strong supporter of Fusu.
I also like to help the Soviet Union, in troubled times, we need to use heavy canons, and in prosperous times, we will be benevolent.
However, if Fusu succeeds to the throne, with his admiration for Confucianism, Confucianism will be greatly promoted.
The situation of respecting Confucianism and overthrowing a hundred schools of thought in later generations is not the result I want.
Confucianism is indeed conducive to consolidating the stability of the empire, but it also has a lot of prejudice and chaff, which makes people pedantic and conservative.
In the world of great controversy, stubbornness, self-drunkenness behind closed doors, and singing praises of virtue are tantamount to cutting off the way forward.
Hundreds of schools of thought contend, competing to bloom, the ruler is long, the inch is short, and it is conducive to vigorous growth.
For oneself, whether it is Confucianism, Legalism, or the hundred schools of thought, which is beneficial to the empire, that is useful learning.
Accept the strengths of hundreds of schools, gather the talents of thousands of directions, build the foundation of eternity, and consolidate the foundation of eternity.
"Child."
Ying Zheng suddenly shouted.
Ziying's grandfather is the half-brother of King Zhuangxiang, his father died in battle at an early age, and his mother was also depressed and sick for a long time, and died after giving birth to himself.
Due to the thin family and the same lineage, His Majesty was merciful, thinking of blood and family affection, and gave the name of the child, and raised in the palace.
"The minister is here."
Ziying was in his early twenties, with a dignified appearance, stood up and bowed to Yingzheng.
"You are a relative of the Ying clan, my nephew, and I have watched you grow up."
Ying Zheng sold a pass, and seemed to be saying that the parents were short.
"Your Majesty's grace, the child will always remember, and I will never dare to forget it."
Speaking of this, Ziying's face was full of gratitude, and he respected and loved His Majesty from the bottom of his heart.
"Well, you are the same age as the princes, and they are both very close personal friends, I ask you, who is suitable to be the prince of the empire?"
Ying Zheng changed his words and asked directly.
Ziying showed a thoughtful look, and soon showed a firm look and said: "The prince is related to the fortunes of the country, and the safety of the society is in danger, and the ministers dare not speak falsely." Whichever prince Your Majesty likes, then he is the prince of the Great Qin Empire. ”
"If I want to make Hu Hai the prince, you don't object?"
Ying Zheng's eyes were deep, and he said with a straight face.
"The minister doesn't dare, everything must be in accordance with His Majesty's holy words."
"It's just that the minister heard that Xia Wei is less intelligent, stubborn, greedy for wine, likes hunting, and the country has been in the past four hundred years."
"Shang Emperor Xin, who is very sensitive to hearing and seeing, has extraordinary talents, can fight well, and is so reckless that the national strength is empty, and the Yin Shang has collapsed in six hundred years."
"King Zhou You, heavy courtesy, good music, barren state affairs, governing many evils, for the sake of praise and laughter, do not hesitate to lose faith in the princes, the eight-hundred-year-old Zhou disaster originates from Si."
After Ziying said these words, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and exhaled a deep breath of turbidity.
You must know that it takes a lot of courage to say this, but since His Majesty asks, then as a courtier, you must do your duty.
"Hu Hai is not Xia Ji, and he can't become Xia Ji. Fusu is not the king of Zhou You, nor will he become the king of Zhou You. I am not Di Xin, and Great Qin is not a big businessman. ”
"Xia died in the struggle for power among nobles, not a sister. Shang died in the conquest and rebellion, not Daji's beauty. Zhou died in the hearts of the princes, not a compliment. The Six Kingdoms died in the endless infighting, and the non-Qin was better than the Jin Ge Iron Horse. ”
"If I die at this moment, the prince is undecided, how many people don't have their own careful thoughts? It is normal for people to be ruthless and seek benefits for their families and descendants, but if they have ill intentions towards the empire, they will destroy one if they find out. ”
Ying Zheng's words were like a big bell, buzzing, echoing in the hall.
"The ministers don't dare."
Everyone lowered their heads and said in unison.
"Summoned."
Ying Zheng waved his hand.
Zhao Zhong on the side immediately took out the black brocade cloth holy decree again and read it aloud.
"I have succeeded to the throne for more than thirty-eight years, and I have worked diligently to govern the country, and I dare not be self-assured. Inherit the wishes of the ancestors, and the heart of the people. With soldiers, clear Xuanyu, rule with officials, and stabilize the four seas. However, manpower will eventually be exhausted, stubborn diseases will be eternal, and they know their destiny and care about national affairs, and their feelings belong to all the people. ”
"Gongzi Yu has a good character, is obedient to his parents, is handsome and studious, and has talent. He was crowned the crown prince of the Great Qin Empire and succeeded to the throne of the East Palace. His mother, Song Meiren, was promoted to Mrs. Song. ”
"The protector of the country, Wang Jian has made outstanding achievements, and he has meritorious service in Qin, and he ordered Wang Jian to be the prince's teacher, and he will pay 5,000 stones."
"Marquis of Huawen, the imperial historian Feng Quji, Lao Cheng is serious, he has supported the country for many years, and he ordered Feng Quji to be the prince's teacher, and he was promoted to the Duke of Zhuguo, and he was awarded 5,000 stones."
"Wuwei Hou Shenyong General Meng Tian, brilliant military achievements, fighting in all directions, the imperial decree Meng Tian as the prince's division, Jin Jue Dingguo Gong, and five thousand stones."
"Li Si, the prime minister of Tonghou, has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, has outstanding wisdom, and ordered Li Si to be the prince's teacher, and he is promoted to the Duke of Weiguo, and he is paid 3,000 stones."
"Announce it to the world, and make it hear."
After Zhao Zhong finished reading, he looked at the civil and military ministers below.
"Your Majesty for 10,000 years, Great Qin for 10,000 years."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, God bless the Prince."
The Manchu Dynasty civil and military opened their mouths again and shouted in unison.
"I hope that when the court meets tomorrow, I won't have to go on a killing spree."
Ying Zheng coldly dropped a sentence and left.
"Retreat from the ......"
Zhao Zhong immediately shouted.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty."
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty once again opened their mouths in unison.
On the second day, the night was hazy, the sky was not yet bright, and a little starlight swayed the night sky.
Xianyang Palace, as soon as the door of the Fifth Watch Heavenly Palace opened, there was an endless stream of ministers entering the palace.
Everywhere in Xianyang, there was a strange scene, the sky was hazy, and there were carriages waiting outside the gates of the mansions of many dignitaries.
The servants in the house kept carrying boxes of things, looking like they had taken refuge with their families.
The main roads in Xianyang are full of traffic, and they go straight to Xianyang Palace.
Zhao Zhong was already waiting outside the Chengtian Palace, sitting leisurely in front of a table, holding a brush, busy recording the money and jewelry handed over by each minister.
Two rows of iron eagle guards guarded both sides of the main road, waiting for the day, murderous.
Under the Chengtian Palace, a four-legged giant tripod is burning hot, and the meaning of scarlet can be faintly seen.
Many ministers who were unwilling and wanted to be confused saw this scene and secretly beat drums in their hearts.
Leaving the long queue, he silently returned home to continue to count the illegal finances he had earned over the years, and he didn't dare to have the slightest luck.
Your Majesty has promised in public that you will not be responsible for the past by those who have embezzled money, and with your Majesty's prestige, you will not go back on your word.
No one will question this, but if they refuse to turn it in, they will surely die, and even implicate the Manchus.
No one dares to guarantee that there is no name on the list of exposés of Zhisu Neishi, as Zhisu Neishi, in charge of the empire's money and grain, and the whole dynasty, who has no dealings with him?
Wang fu......
"Guogong, these are the treasures that your father gave to the Wang family, you don't have to do this."
The eldest princess Ying Yuanman looked at the dozen or so large boxes on the floor of the lobby, and was a little puzzled.
"The matter of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, right now that the war in the empire is in full swing, and these mundane things are needed outside the body. Instead of letting these things lie in the ashes of the palace, it is better to transport them to the front line to relieve the king's worries. ”
Wang Jian explained with a smile.
"The country is righteous, Yuan Man is the father and the emperor, and he will thank the prince for all the people in the world."
Ying Yuanman couldn't help but be in awe when he heard this, and bowed to Wang Qian.
"Her Royal Highness the princess has tormented the minister, the time for the court is almost up, and the minister will not talk to Her Royal Highness the princess."
Wang Jian stood up, and after saying to Ying Yuanman, he wanted to leave.
"Guogong and slowly, wait a moment."
Ying Yuanman stopped Wang Jian and then turned to leave.
It wasn't long before she came to the lobby again, but with a few more people carrying a few boxes.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, what is this?"
Wang Jian looked at these big boxes, although he had already realized something in his heart, he still said with questions on his face.
"This is Yuan Man's dowry, Guogong is right, rather than letting them be dusted, it is better to share the worries of his father."
Ying Yuanman was very clever and applied Wang Qian's words.
Wang Jian showed a wry smile, his words were exhausted, even if he wanted to refuse, he would never be able to open his mouth.
"Her Royal Highness the princess is well aware of the righteousness, although she is a woman, but the woman does not let the eyebrows be raised. Her Royal Highness the Princess's wishes, the old minister will definitely report to Your Majesty. ”
Wang Jian bowed to Ying Yuanman.
Ying Yuanman looked at Wang Qian, who was extremely polite and respectful, and sighed in his heart, although he married the palace several times, he was only an outsider after all!
"Yuan Man retired."
Ying Yuanman said to Wang Qian, and then turned to leave.
Looking at the back of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Wang Qian's cloudy old face showed a hint of guilt.
Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is really a strange woman in the world, if she is twenty years younger, how can it cause today's embarrassing situation.
Time, life, but what can I do!
Li Fu ......
"Father."
"Your Majesty added the title of Duke of Guo on top of the Marquis of Che yesterday, and my father was awarded the Duke of Weiguo, which shows Your Majesty's favor for my father."
Li Heng thought about it and said a little happily for his father.
"Stupid, Wang Qian, Meng Tian, and Feng Quji are the real princes, and being a father is just a bright promotion and a secret debasement."
Li Si glanced at his second son meaningfully, and sighed.
"Why did my father say that?"
Li Heng said.
"Those who are dukes of the country are all worth 5,000 stones, why do you think that your father only has 3,000 stones?"
Li Si stared at his second son and asked rhetorically.
"This ......"
Li Heng showed hesitation, hesitated, and didn't figure out the reason for it for a long time.
"This is the edict sent by His Majesty yesterday, take a look!"
Li Si took out a roll of black cloth from his sleeve and handed it to Li Heng.
After Li Heng took it, he immediately opened it and looked at it carefully.
Si is the prime minister and has governed the people for more than 30 years.
Arresting the Shaanxi Pass of Qin, when I first came to the great unification, Qindi was only a thousand miles, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, all the geniuses, obeying the law, conspiracy ministers, gold and jade of capital, so that lobbying princes.
Yin repaired the armor soldiers, played politics and religion, official fighters, respected meritorious heroes, and Sheng Qi Juelu, so he finally threatened Han to weaken Wei, broke Yan Zhao, Yi Qi Chu, died and six countries, captured its king, and established Qin as the Son of Heaven, and one of the merits.
The land is not wide, and the north chases the raccoon dog, and the south sets Baiyue, in order to see the strength of Qin, and the second merit is also.
Respect the minister, give him his title, consolidate his relatives, and make three contributions.
Establish a community, repair the temple, and use the sage of the Lord to make four contributions.
More gram painting, Ping Dou Hu measurement article, cloth of the world, in the name of tree Qin, the merit of the five.
Govern the road, Xing Youguan, in order to see the pride of the Lord, and the six merits are also.
Suspended punishment, thin endowment, to win the hearts of the people, all the people wear the Lord, die without forgetting, and the merit is seven.
If Si is a minister, the merit is enough to cover the world, and the prestige is enough to carry the monument of virtue.
So far, the four seas have returned to one, and the whole world celebrates together, all of them rely on the talent of Si, and they are all attached to the ability of Si.
"Father, what a good thing! Your Majesty's article is full of recognition and appreciation for my father! His Majesty's contribution to the empire is in the eyes of His Majesty. ”
After Li Heng read it, his heart was surging, and he was very happy and excited.
"A good thing?"
"A lot of times, the credit is too great, and it's not a good thing, it's a curse."
Li Si's expression was gloomy, and his face was full of sadness.
I have read this edict more than a hundred times.
I really think so in my heart, and I think that the reason why the Great Qin Empire can have today depends on itself.
But every time he reads this edict, Li Si is ashamed and embarrassed, and it is too late to regret it!
He is a very popular minister, calling for wind and rain for too long, so long that he forgot that when he was not in Qin, he was only on Cai Yiyi, and he did not meet talents, and he was poor.
It is not so much that he has achieved Great Qin, but that Great Qin has achieved himself.
I'm so old and confused!
"Father, why do you say this, Your Majesty is very important to your father, and it will not be like this."
Li Heng looked at his father's overcast expression, looking like a catastrophe was about to end, and was stunned.
He hadn't seen his father look like this since he could remember.
In his memory, his father will always be the calm and calm imperial prime minister who collapsed in front of him and did not change his face.
"Heng'er, you have to learn more from your brother and serve the empire until death."
Li Si stared at his second son and said meaningfully.
When Li Heng heard his father mention his brother Li You, who had crossed the East China Sea, he immediately said in awe: "Father, rest assured, if one day, the empire needs Heng'er, and he will never give up." ”
"Okay, Wu'er is really a hero."
Li Si looked at his son and laughed with satisfaction.
Heitenden......
"Do you know why I summoned you?"
Ying Zheng was reclining on the couch, holding a book in his hand, and was reading.
"Your Majesty, please."
Liu Ji received His Majesty's edict and hurried over, where could he guess what His Majesty had ordered.
"You have been a county official, you should be familiar with the laws of the Great Qin, I ask you, what is the crime of delaying the conscription in bad weather on the way to the conscription?"
Ying Zheng asked casually as if he was going to test Liu Ji.
"Returning to Your Majesty, according to the laws of Great Qin, in case of bad weather, it can be suspended for ten days, and those who exceed ten days will be fined for overdue, and those who are overdue for twenty days will be fined, and those who are overdue for one month will be punished."
Liu Ji thought about it and said without thinking.
"How often do Daqin men serve as adults?"
Ying Zheng asked again.
"Back to Your Majesty, if a man is an adult and is recruited by the empire, he needs to serve in the military for two years, according to the lordship, and eat the king. Each year is required to serve one month of labor, to be loyal to the country, and to receive a salary according to the contribution. ”
Liu Ji replied very fluently again.
"When I swept the world and swept the six countries, the conscription of the six countries was so heavy. The small country still has hundreds of thousands of armor, exhausting its people's strength and recklessly using force. And everything in Daqin has a law to follow, why do people in the world hate Qin Rusi. ”
Ying Zheng's tone was a little emotionally fluctuating, and this question had troubled his heart for a long time.
"Back to Your Majesty, all the people in the world are grateful to Your Majesty, how can you hate Qin Zhi?"
Liu Ji was shocked, and then cut the railway.
"I accept the land of the six countries, gather the people of Liuhe, settle the heart of the world, and be the descendants of the six kings. Receiving grace, he left the palace in Xianyang. Conform to the will of heaven and accept the hearts of the people. Collect the sharp weapons of the world and spread the education of the royal way. ”
"The nobles of the Six Kingdoms shall be exempted from their crimes if they obey the law. The descendants of the six royal families surrendered and stopped killing, and the brocade clothes were worry-free. However, people's hearts are not ancient, coveting the authority of the past, looking up to Qin and snorting on the surface, and practicing tricks inside. ”
"This throne palace, under the pavilions and pavilions, seems to be calm, but in fact there is an undercurrent."
"The soldiers are coming in all directions, the city is broken and surrendered, how can my sword ever cut off the heads of the six royal clans? Can I fail to the Six Kings? ”
"Clear Xuanyu, destroy the country and destroy the state, can my sword ever fall on the body of the nobles of the six countries? Can I be more noble than the six countries? ”
"Ruling the world and returning to Qin, has my sword ever been stained with the blood of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms? Can I be guilty of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms? ”
Ying Zheng stood up, his voice shook Xuanyu, and he let out a deafening words of conscience.
These days, he has been self-examining, but after all, he doesn't feel that he has had it anywhere.
If there is, it means that the husband is innocent and guilty, and holds the authority of the world, which everyone covets.
It was his own kindness that allowed those remnants of the Six Nations to make waves!
If the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, and these remnants were cut down and eradicated, why would they fan the flames everywhere, stir up people's hearts, and destroy the foundation of the Great Qin.
Hu Hai only contributed to the acceleration of the fall of Great Qin, and it was these remnants who single-handedly caused the collapse of the Great Qin Empire.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng's eyes when he looked at Liu Ji were cold for three points.
Seeing His Majesty's cold gaze, Liu Ji couldn't help but shrink his neck, and immediately said: "Your Majesty is merciful, Heaven is gracious, and the subjects of the Six Kingdoms are all grateful to Your Majesty. ”
"You're lying! They are looking forward to my early death. Only when I am dead will they have a chance to repeat the glory of the past. ”
"I have taken away their right to be a blessing and a prestige, and have cut off their capital from all the people of the world, and they hate me to the core. But a bunch of dirty chickens and dogs, bed bugs in dark corners, are just my subordinates, so there is nothing to worry about. ”
"As soon as I live, they will hide in dark corners and shiver. Only when I am dead can they dare to jump out, and the demons will dance wildly and cause chaos in the world. ”
"They are afraid of me, they are afraid of me, and they dare not oppose me. Because they know that even if they all turn against each other, if I can destroy them once, I can destroy them a second, a third, an infinite number of times. I am the mountain that weighs on their heads, and they will never rise to the top, and they will have no chance of victory. ”
Ying Zheng has encountered many major events in his life, but he has always been calm, unhurried, and emotional.
Today, however, he was so angry that he almost roared.
Because he thinks that in this life, he is worthy of all the people of the world.
But all the people in this world have lost themselves and Daqin.
No one can understand this feeling of helplessness and indignation.
Liu Ji looked at His Majesty who was furious, his body couldn't help but tremble, trembling on his prostrates, and he didn't dare to say anything.
He didn't know why His Majesty the First Emperor suddenly became angry, it was really terrifying.
The emperor's majesty was not angry and self-assured, but he was furious at this time, which gave Liu Ji a direct feeling of the sky falling apart and the mountains and rivers losing color.
It was as if he was in the center of a storm, ravaged by the storm and miserable.
"Your Majesty, mercy is for the people of the world, not for some. If the thief does not die, how can he purify the world, if some people die can be exchanged for peace in the world and the prosperity of the country, why should Your Majesty bother with himself. ”
Liu Ji thought about it for a long time before he figured out some things, and then cautiously said to Ying Zheng.
I don't know what the general trend of the world is, I only know that when I am constantly suffering, what bullshit and righteousness. If ceremonial kindness was useful, would the Zhou Dynasty still fall apart?
After a long time, Ying Zheng knew that he had lost his temper, and after calming down, he glanced at Liu Ji meaningfully.
This thing does seem to be the same as recorded in the history books, a sweet-mouthed sword and a black-hearted guy.
There are few people who fight the world with this guy, and they will end well.
But I have to admit that this guy does have the style of a king.
"Nearly two million people from the Six Kingdoms surrendered, five hundred years of war, wolf smoke everywhere, and ruins everywhere. The poor are good for themselves, and the rich help the world. We are building a lot of buildings, and huge projects are going one after another. ”
"Seven or eight out of ten of the wealth of the six countries are gathered in the noble family, the people's livelihood is withering, and the family has good land less than one. If it weren't for the imperial court's work-for-relief and helping the world, how many people would die of starvation? ”
"The defeated army rises from the rogues, and the people of the mourning state cannot bear it. Daqin used troops for many years, leveling bandits, threatening Zhuyi, swallowing Baiyue, and chasing Hu Di. ”
"Towering Daqin, proud of the world, looking at the world, who competes. I am not reckless, but forced by the general trend of the world, otherwise how can the troops of the six countries be settled? ”
"The victorious army will be proud, and the defeated army will mourn. If you don't use troops externally, millions of proud soldiers, mourning soldiers will be disarmed and return to the field, accustomed to the army, bloody and ruthless, how can the world be safe? ”
Ying Zheng has a lot of words, who in this world can understand his hard work?
Don't you know that the people's livelihood is withering, and the army has been used year after year, and the vast project consumes people's manpower.
But the world was initially decided, if it weren't for that, how could the chaos be lifted?
When Great Qin conquered the Quartet, he wore millions of armor, plus the troops of the six countries, millions of troops.
Once these old people who are accustomed to military life return to their hometowns, military discipline will be sloppy and no one will control them, and the world will be in chaos.
Only galloping on the battlefield is their destination, and they return to their hometowns to disturb the villagers. It is better to make contributions to the country and seek benefits for future generations, so that it is a two-way strategy.
Throughout the ages, which of the dynasties dared to disarm and return to the field on the day of the first determination of the world?
Without exception, all of them are foreign troops to calm the world.
"Your Majesty is eloquent and sympathetic to the sufferings of all people. However, the people of the world are illiterate and ignorant. I only know hearsay, and listen to the wind is the rain. ”
"The mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan. The river collapses, and there will be many injuries. The general trend is changeable, and villains are good at leading. Because of the situation, the group will cause trouble. ”
"The sages have clouds, and the fire is born in wood, and the fire burns in wood. The country is born of treachery, and if the treachery is deep, the country will be in chaos. It is also like a silkworm can make a cocoon, and a cocoon will kill it. ”
"People can make trouble, but trouble will kill them. If you are not holy, you can't cultivate yourself, prevent it before it sprouts, and cure it before it is chaotic. The wood of the ten circles of the husband starts from the arch. ”
"The platform of a hundred points starts from the foot. If you are not afraid of small evils, you will become a big disaster. The wood does not rub against each other, and the fire has no reason. There is no chaos in the country, and there is no reason for treachery. There is a beginning and an end, right and wrong. ”
Liu Ji showed extraordinary insight, quoted scriptures, and every word.
In this life, it is precisely because the starting point is too low that I will never be able to achieve it.
Just drink and have fun, and get by.
But now that he has met His Majesty's appreciation, he has changed the fate of his life, and even the fate of future generations.
Liu Ji felt that it was time to give it a go, if he missed the opportunity, maybe he would live in regret for the rest of his life.
Hearing Liu Ji's words, Ying Zheng fell silent, revealing a contemplative look.
These words, although extreme, are not unreasonable.
The embankment of a thousand feet collapsed with the nest of ants, and the room of a hundred feet burned with the smoke of a crack.
The remnants of the six countries cannot be left, and Ying Zheng has strengthened this belief in his heart.
A gentleman is easy to deal with, but a villain is difficult to guard.
These bed bugs hide in dark corners and wait for their time. Once there is a change in the world, fanning the flames everywhere is extremely hateful.
"Then in your opinion, how should you deal with these people with bad intentions who dream of regaining power in the country?"
Ying Zheng's face was impassive, and he did not answer Liu Ji's question, but asked rhetorically.
Seeing that His Majesty did not answer himself, nor did he express his position clearly, Liu Ji thought about it slightly in his heart, and said firmly: "Your Majesty, I heard that if the weeds in the field are not rooted, they will grow again on the day of spring flowers." ”
Ying Zheng naturally heard the meaning of Liu Ji's words, and it is similar to cutting grass without removing roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows.
"What do you mean?"
Ying Zheng pretended to be confused.
"Your Majesty, those with bad intentions should be punished ......"
Liu Ji secretly cheered himself up in his heart, he knew very well that this was a big gamble.
If you win the bet, Your Majesty adopts your own advice, then you can take advantage of it to soar to the sky.
If he fails, it is not impossible for His Majesty to punish himself, not only himself, but even his family members will be punished for this.
"The Great Qin Law decrees, killing people is not punished. Everything should be done according to the law, otherwise how can you win the trust of the people of the world. ”
Ying Zheng frowned and said in a deep voice.
Liu Ji's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there are exceptions to everything. Hurry up with power, otherwise how can the world be right. ”
"According to what you say, I can kill them with impunity today, and I can kill you as I want tomorrow?"
Ying Zheng turned his words, looked at Liu Ji, and said with a serious face.
"......" Liu Bang.
Your Majesty's thinking is really hard to fathom!
"Your Majesty is the lord of the world in Kyushu, if you want to die, you only need an edict, and you will never give up."
Liu Ji quickly calmed down and spoke again.
"You're a good talker, and I've got my own decision."
Ying Zheng said lightly.
"Your Majesty."
Liu Ji breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Officials don't worry about governance and think about luxury, and ministers don't worry about the country and immerse themselves in power. Will not be scheming and sink into color, and soldiers will not be brave and greedy for merit, so understandable? ”
Ying Zheng thought about it and said.
"......" Liu Bang.
Not long ago, he was just a small pavilion chief, how long has he been in Xianyang?
Isn't this technique of governing the country and controlling people your specialty, Your Majesty?
Liu Ji is really sad, this question is a hot potato, if you answer well, you are guilty, and if you answer badly, you are also guilty.
This is simply an unsolvable problem, no matter how he can speak well, he does not know how to speak at this time.
Ying Zheng looked at Liu Ji's face flushed, and he didn't jump out of half a fart for a long time, and he was very happy in his heart.
I really thought you were born proficient in everything, but it doesn't seem to be true!
"Your Majesty...... There is no solution. ”
Liu Ji swallowed.
"That's it!"
Ying Zheng didn't mean to be reluctant, and continued after a moment of silence: "I have been hearing for a long time that the people of Pei County are outstanding, what talent do you recommend?" ”
After a long detour, Ying Zheng revealed his intentions.
Liu Ji was stunned in his heart, talent?
Xiao He, Cao Shen, Fan Xu, Zhou Bo and others have all entered the office.
Although he has many friends, but he indiscriminately recommends to His Majesty, wouldn't that be a stone to shoot himself in the foot?
Your Majesty has something to say!
"Your Majesty."
Thinking of this, Liu Ji instantly changed his appearance, his eyes were red, and tears were raining down.
"Huh? What is Aiqing doing? ”
Looking at Liu Ji, who had bowed three times, Ying Zhenghu was suspicious.
"Your Majesty, high in the temple, noble status, looking down on the world, Kyushu respects. I don't know the hardships of our poor children, and I don't know the bitterness of humble officials. ”
Liu Ji wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the corner of his clothes, and said with blood and tears.
Ying Zheng thought in his heart and said, "Go on." ”
"The minister has been doing Surabaya Pavilion for several years, trembling, serving public duties, and never daring to slack off in the tasks issued by the imperial court, not the minister boasting, and the ten miles and eight towns have a good reputation."
"Just because the minister is from a poor family and has a humble status, he will not be promoted. Now that he has become the governor of the imperial government, he still relies on the grace of His Majesty's knowledge. ”
"Although Your Majesty has the virtue of the Holy Lord, he can choose the best and not be croonistic."
"But the officials and His Majesty in various places have done the opposite, cronyism, avoiding virtue, accepting bribes, accumulating windfalls, and being extremely rebellious."
Liu Ji's voice was full of emotion, and he admonished Yingzheng.
"When I visited the world this time, the places I passed were indeed shocking, and the behavior of many officials was simply mad."
"It's just that I'm quite puzzled, the black ice platform is all over the world, why I have never received the slightest rumor."
Ying Zheng was silent for a long time, and said with a gloomy face.
"Your Majesty, everyone has selfish intentions, and perhaps most of the dead soldiers of the Black Ice Platform are loyal to Your Majesty. But there are always exceptions to everything, after all, the black ice platform is all over the empire, and there will be any bird when the forest is big. ”
Liu Ji mustered up the courage to express his opinion.
"Stand aside, I am tired."
Ying Zheng waved his hand, revealing endless tiredness.
"The minister retires, Your Majesty takes care of the Holy Communion."
Liu Ji stood up and cautiously left the hall before he took a deep breath.
Ying Zheng sat on the throne, his eyes melancholy, lost in thought.
What about the Supreme of the World?
What I heard and saw was nothing but hearsay.
It is imperative that Enco do so that the empire does not become a stagnant pool.
On the surface, the empire seems to be calm and prosperous, but Ying Zheng is well aware that due to the solidification of classes and the prevalence of bureaucracy, an undercurrent has begun to brew.
After his death, Great Qin was destroyed, and Zhao Gao and Hu Hai did bear unshirkable responsibility.
But don't these officials of the six countries have the slightest responsibility?
It is best to strangle the danger in the cradle.
Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and water drops and stones are not a day's work.
The Great Qin Empire needs fresh blood to muddy this stagnant water.
"Chen Ping, Xiao He, I hope I won't be disappointed."
Ying Zheng muttered to himself, and then picked up the piece again and read it intently.
After a while, Zhao Zhong walked in, bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time to rest." ”
"Go and summon the Nightmare."
Ying Zheng didn't raise his head, and ordered softly.
Zhao Zhong was shocked in his heart, and then immediately said, "The minister obeys the order." ”
About half an hour later, a warrior wearing black armor and a blue-faced fanged mask walked into the Pingtian Temple.
"Minister, please see Your Majesty."
He walked to the center of the main hall and knelt down on one knee in front of Ying Zheng a hundred meters away.
"Lead the Black Nightmare Guard, and thoroughly investigate all the departments of the Black Ice Terrace in Kyushu. I give you the right to cut first and then play, no matter what method you use, I will control everything in the world. ”
"My eyes are not blind, and my ears are not deaf. I don't want to become the laughing stock of the world, so that the world thinks that I am pretending to be deaf and dumb, and I am blind to the puppet emperor? ”
"Is this land of Shenzhou the world of me, or is it the world of their group of unscrupulous, daring, and bastards?"
Ying Zheng looked at the nightmare, his voice was like rolling thunder, and he roared angrily.
"If there is a mountain of evidence, do you want to kill him?"
Nightmare asked again.
"If the evidence of the crime is like a mountain, kill all of them, and correct the evil wind in the world."
Ying Zheng said murderously.
"Minister, follow Your Majesty's holy words."
The nightmare's voice was still hoarse, but there was some shock in his heart.
After decades of serving His Majesty, it was the first time he had seen His Majesty so angry.
"I remind you, if the Black Ice Platform can't be my eyes and ears, what's the use of keeping it?"
"Weigh it yourself!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said in a rather harsh tone.
The nightmare sighed secretly, the day still came.
Your Majesty has a distrust of the Black Ice Platform, no, if Your Majesty no longer trusts the Black Ice Platform, then the Black Ice Platform is afraid that it will disappear into the dust of history.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister must completely clean the Black Ice Terrace, no matter who dares to betray Your Majesty, the minister will make him understand what a miserable end it is to betray the Lord and seek glory."
The black nightmare waist pole straightened, and he bowed to Ying Zheng with a fist.
"I know, go ahead!"
Ying Zheng picked up a piece of music, read it again, and waved his hand at the nightmare below.
"The minister retired."
The Nightmare bowed again, then got up, took a few steps back, and turned to leave.
