"Master Hou, Lord Meng Yi asks to see you." Outside the door, a guard reported.

"Quick, please come in." Li Chen hurriedly ordered.

Li Chen, who Meng Yi came to do something, naturally knew that the people on the ice platform were arresting people day and night. However, many officials in Xianyang City have been arrested and put in prison, and this position is vacant, and the most headache is Meng Yi. He is the secretary of the ministry, and the appointments of these officials are in his hands, and the threshold of his family has been stepped on a lot these days.

Xianyang City has just had an accident, and naturally the appointment of officials cannot be sloppy. Meng Yi knew in his heart that this matter would ultimately have to be decided by Fusu, and Li Chen was Fusu's teacher. At this time, he couldn't enter the palace, so he naturally came to Li Chen, the teacher of Fusu.

"Lord Meng, well, well, fortunately you're still alive." Li Chen joked with a smile.

Meng Yi is the confidant of the first emperor, and he is quite at odds with Zhao Gao on weekdays. However, after Hu Hai occupied Xianyang, he hid a little slower. It is said that he was blocked by Zhao Gao that day, and finally hid in the stable before escaping.

"You, you, the dog can't spit ivory out of his mouth." Meng Yi said angrily.

"The people of your Black Ice Platform are happy to catch people, have you ever thought about this vacant position? No one in these positions is fine for a day or two, but if there is no one for a long time, I am afraid that there will be chaos again. Meng Yi said straight to the point.

"What do you say you're in a hurry? The mountain people have their own tricks? Li Chen said confidently.

"What am I anxious about? This time, the old man almost died on the spot. The old man is old, and if he is having a few messes, he is afraid that he will not be hacked to death, and he will be scared to death. Meng Yi said angrily.

"Don't worry, there won't be any chaos, these people dare to participate in the rebellion, and if they are not completely swept away, there will really be chaos. Daqin is now like a decaying old tree, and all the rotting bark and parasitic vines on it have to be removed. Although it hurts a little, it is the only way to rejuvenate yourself. Li Chen said solemnly.

"Don't detour me, what are you going to do?" Meng Yi asked.

"Haven't there been many graduates of the Royal Academy over the years? They have always held inconspicuous official positions in the major yamen. I think these people are perfectly capable of holding the main position. These young people are full of energy, and there is no problem with loyalty. Li Chen said.

"Well, that's a good idea. It's just that these young people still lack qualifications, and I'm afraid that you in the court may not agree. Meng Yi muttered.

Meng Yi is a secretary of the ministry, and I am afraid that no one knows anything in the officialdom better than him. These young people are definitely people who can do things, because they were originally in the officialdom, and they were all small officials who had no way out. As for the big official, the big official must be sitting in the office drinking tea.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will be games. The same is true of Daqin's court, the position in the court is a big cake, and everyone wants to share a piece. For a long time, the Great Qin Dynasty has paid attention to the distinction between factions. Once a position becomes vacant, the major positions in the court will inevitably revolve around the major factions.

Although Li Chen is now the largest faction in the Great Qin Dynasty, if it is a normal game, Li Chen will naturally be able to fight for the most positions and eat the biggest cake. But now Li Chen is going to promote a large number of young officials, is this going to eat alone?

Or it's not called eating alone, it's like a group of people waiting around the table to eat, and the dish finally comes up. Then, the strongest of them suddenly brought the dishes off the table and fed them to the dogs. This is a violation of the unspoken rules, you can eat more if you are strong, but if you make it impossible for everyone to eat, then everyone will naturally unite to reject you.

"It doesn't matter whether they agree or not, now that Daqin is in ruins, what is needed at this time is not to discuss with harmony, but to thunder means. Officials, just wait for the order to be issued. Li Chen's tone was firm and unquestionable.

"Okay, Master Hou has this determination, then I will wait for good news." Meng Yi arched his hand.

In the final analysis, Meng Yi and Li Chen are the same faction. In this day and age, they are one of the few people who put the interests of the country above the interests of the family.

At the end of November, the winter was cold, but the sky was sunny in recent days, as if it was celebrating the removal of the haze from Daqin.

As soon as the sky was bright, hundreds of civil and military officials had gathered in the palace. This was the first early dynasty after the Huhai Rebellion. The queue of civil and military officials, which was originally neatly arranged, now seems to be much sparser, and many positions are vacant, many of which are high.

Fusu was dressed in a black python robe and sat in a wheelchair. Li Chen is a rare person wearing armor, and hanging from his waist is the sword of King Qin given by the First Emperor.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

"Rong Lu waits, the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses has arrived." Outside the door, the little eunuch sang in a shrill voice.

Li Chen pushed the wheelchair, and the two of them walked forward step by step from the road among the civil and military officials. The civil and military officials looked at Fusu in a wheelchair, some were silent, and some were whispering.

Ordering the two to carry Fusu to the position of the dragon chair, Li Chen stood at the forefront of the general's row. If it was when the first emperor was still there in the past, Li Chen would naturally still sit on the big chair in the middle of him, in a position that was neither literate nor martial, and he didn't listen to the affairs of the court and the middle of the court, and only listened to nonsense.

It's just that it's different now, and the current Daqin needs a pillar. And now that the First Emperor is ill, and when there is no one in the court, he can't sit and put on a lazy appearance that has nothing to do with himself. He had to stand up and become the pillar of Great Qin.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really can't walk......."

"Huhai is vicious?"

"In my opinion, it's better to win Gao Gongzi back."

"Fusu has no way, this is greedy persuasion, this is deliberately humiliating my Great Qin......."

In the whispers of a group of people, a voice is particularly prominent, if others are just vaguely discussing, then this person is simply deliberately insulting Fusu.

"Who?"

"Whoever said that, stand up." Suddenly, Li Chen said coldly and angrily.

Hearing that Li Chen was angry, the court instantly became quiet, and it was almost audible that a needle fell.

"Yuan Yixun, what did you say just now?" Li Chen walked up to a civil official and asked.

This man stalked his head, looked righteous, and said loudly: "I am at a loss to discuss state affairs for the sake of discussion. The crown prince is the face of my Daqin, and he is going to be the emperor in the future, and now Fusu is disabled, if he is virtuous, he should have given way to himself in order to hug his fist and face of my Daqin. ”

"What a face, what a face."

"Since Yuan Yiyun told me about face, then I will tell you what face is." Li Chen laughed loudly.

"Smack."

Suddenly, before everyone could react, Li Chen slapped Yuan Yixun in the face and knocked him to the ground.
