Chapter 506: The Rise of the Jiang Clan

Li Sifeng turned his head to look at Meng Yi with a confused expression at the same time, and even Qin Shi Huang was stunned.

These two vacant positions are one acre and three points of land for Li Si and Feng Quji, and the supervision province is an independent institution, which is managed vertically from top to bottom, and is generally not mixed with the government affairs of the court, and their task is to monitor the officials of the world, so the personnel arrangements of the supervision province Li Si and Feng Qujian basically do not interfere, so as not to arouse suspicion, so the supervision province is the backyard of Meng Yi's family, and no one else can control it except the emperor, so the three provinces do not reach out to each other, which has almost become a tacit understanding.

What made Li Si even more depressed was that Meng Yi didn't say anything when Feng Qujian spoke, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Meng Yi jumped out unprecedentedly, Li Si's face instantly became hot and he felt an irrepressible anger, but as an old fritter who had been immersed in officialdom for decades, Li Si naturally stopped being angry, and even gave up his hand with a warm smile on his face: "Master Meng also has a candidate, so it's better!" ”

Qin Shi Huang also looked at Meng Yi with a smile: "Meng Aiqing will tell me about the candidate!" ”

"Your Majesty, the commander of the CRRC Prefecture recommends Taiyuan County Shoujiangpu!" Meng Yi said with a calm face.

Qin Shi Huang and Li Sifeng all had sudden changes in their faces, and they looked at Meng Yi without speaking, and after being silent for half a minute, Qin Shi Huang asked in a deep voice: "Meng Aiqing, can you give me a reason, Jiang Pu has been the county guard of Taiyuan for many years, although he is conscientious but there is nothing outstanding, and Jiang Heng, who has just been dismissed from the CRRC government, is his eldest brother, Jiang Heng colluded with Zhao Gao to conceal Zhao Zhe's affairs, and is now under detention and interrogation, not because I am not at ease with Jiang Pu, but because I am worried that it will arouse the suspicion of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military!" ”

"Your Majesty, Jiang Hu has just led two thousand horsemen to raid Hebei, the court of the Huns, beheaded Mandanyu, captured his wife and returned with a great victory, this is an immortal achievement, my Great Qin law is strict with rewards and punishments, this time the class teacher returned to the dynasty, His Majesty will inevitably reward Jiang Hu, but Jiang Heng and Jiang Beiting are still in prison, if the investigation is clear and dealt with according to the law, it will inevitably be exiled to the border for several years, even if Jiang Hu has no other thoughts in his heart, but the Jiang family's rewards and punishments are contrary, which will inevitably make the people of the world suspicious, and many rumors will spread to Jiang Hu's ears, Jiang Hu thought that His Majesty didn't like his great victory, and he might even guess that someone in the court wanted to put the Jiang family to death, but he was afraid that it was an unprecedented victory, but it led to the king's and ministers' vests, and if the soldiers guarding the border heard that the lord would be squeezed out by the court's suspicion, I am afraid that many disasters would arise......"

As Meng Yi spoke, Qin Shi Huang's face became more and more solemn.

The good news just came this morning, Qin Shi Huang was almost immersed in the joy of this unprecedented victory, and this victory also swept away the anger caused by Zhao Zhe's incident and the grief caused by the death of Princess Qingning, so he didn't think so much at all, at this time, listening to Meng Yi, Qin Shi Huang felt that the Jiang family really needed to deal with it well, otherwise it would indeed lead to the separation of the monarch and the minister.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Heng and Jiang Beiting are both guilty, but this crime is not unforgivable, ordinary soldiers kill the enemy, and they can also offset the guilt of their families with military merits, Jiang Hu has made great achievements, after returning to the dynasty, he knows that his brother and fourth brother will be exiled because of breaking the law, and he will inevitably ask for military merits to offset the crime, if His Majesty agrees at that time, then Jiang Hu's work of sealing the marquis is almost in vain, if His Majesty does not agree, it will make Jiang Hu dissatisfied, and the people of the world will also be suspicious of His Majesty's intentions, and over time or chaos!"

There was silence in the Zichen Hall for a while, Qin Shi Huang lowered his head and pondered, and Li Si and Feng Quji were also silent.

This matter should be worried about the emperor, after all, clear rewards and punishments are the best way to maintain the law, but clear rewards and punishments are not blameless, Li Si has been committed to implementing laws and regulations to restrain the people of the world all his life, trying to make the Great Qin as stable as Mount Tai, but in fact, in the process of implementation, he also feels that he has more than enough strength and is insufficient, this time Zhao Zhe's matter is the most slap in the face, Zhao Zhe robbed the summer grain tax and tried to frame Chen Xu, and Zhao Gao intensified, in order to avenge his son, he killed nearly two hundred people, the law in the eyes of these people, In fact, it's almost the same as nothing, if it weren't for Zhao Zhe being killed by Princess Qingning in the palace, I'm afraid this matter would have been hidden, and he Li Si might have been dragged into the water one day.

Therefore, in the face of Meng Yi, a black-bellied guy, Li Si decided that it would be better not to open his mouth today, so as not to be unlucky.

As for the position of the CRRC Commander, it is actually not important to Li Si, but it is more important to the emperor, and no one will weaken his power.

"Meng Aiqing's words are reasonable, I am indeed a little negligent in this matter, Jiang Heng concealed Zhao Zhe's matter, even if I do not punish him, he will definitely not be able to serve as the commander of the CRRC government again, and Jiangbei Pavilion was only a county commander of Pheasant County, and he was not involved too deeply, he was appointed as the county guard of Nanyang County during the period to promote the new farming method, and the results were remarkable, and the grain in the summer and autumn of last year was harvested, and the millet was accumulated in the wild, which was the move to build Nanyang Cang......"

Demeng Yi reminded that Qin Shi Huang thought about it carefully, and began to find excuses for Jiang Heng and Jiang Beiting to reduce their crimes, because if he didn't find it, he had to properly dispose of these two people, otherwise when Jiang Hu returned to Xianyang with a great victory, he offered the head of Touman Danyu, but he heard that his brother and younger brother were both arrested and imprisoned for their crimes, and he had other thoughts in his heart.

As for the commutation of Jiang Hu's Jiangbei Pavilion, Li Sifeng would definitely not participate, and when Meng Yi remembered a letter sent by Chen Xu before entering the palace, he couldn't help but twitch lightly.

After a long time, Qin Shi Huang seemed to have thought clearly, so his face returned to calm and said: "The two positions of the CRRC Mansion Order and the Ministry of Rites are recommended by the two prime ministers, Su Yue is the CRRC Mansion Order, Yang Zhu is the Ministry of Rites Order, Jiang Pu is transferred to Xianyang to serve as the official department of the Ministry of Officials to replace Yang Zhu's position, Taiyuan County Shou is temporarily appointed by the county Cheng, and the Ministry of Officials will arrange to go to the post after selecting the right candidate, and after the Wu Dynasty, the edict will be spread to the world, as for Jiang Heng, he will take away the title and be demoted to a foreign official, and the official position will be reduced to three grades to serve in the border county, and Jiangbei Pavilion will take the official position of three levels, Downgrading from the third rank to the sixth grade, and arranging a county magistrate, the arrangement of these two people is at the discretion of Feng Xiang's ministry to see where it is more appropriate, but the time cannot be delayed too long, and a decision must be made within five days......"

The emperor's arrangement can be said to be painstaking, not only to let the two prime ministers recommend the people to take the position, but also to properly place Jiang Heng and Jiang Beiting in advance, and the two were released for their crimes, and then Jiang Pu was transferred to the Beijing Division, and Jiang Hu was a general, and he must be stationed at the border pass, which also made the Jiang family return to the previous pattern again, but the positions between the brothers have undergone some changes, Jiang Pu has changed from a three-grade county guard to a three-grade official deployment, and it seems that the official has not changed. But the position of this third product has increased more than ten times compared to the power of the CRRC government order, and it is definitely a promotion.

After listening to the emperor's arrangement, Li Sifeng Quji and Meng Yi breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.

"There is still half an hour before the morning court, the three Aiqing must also be a little hungry, accompany me to eat some snacks, it just so happens that the palace has made some new yam poria honey cakes and herbal tea today...... "Since this matter has an idea, Qin Shi Huang has also changed the topic.

The three most respected ministers of Great Qin glanced at each other, then stood up together and thanked each other, and then under the arrangement of Qin Shi Huang, soon the official in charge of the meal brought a few snacks and herbal tea with the palace people.

The four of them sat at their desks and chatted while eating.

"Hmm, this yam poria cake is fragrant and crispy, melts in the mouth, has a faint medicinal fragrance, it is indeed a rare delicacy, I heard that it was invented and made by the Marquis of Qinghe......" Feng Quji nodded in admiration while eating.

"Feng Xiang is right, this Poria cake is indeed the production method taught by Qinghe Hou, eating it for a long time can strengthen the body, but in addition to opening yams, this honey and Poria cocos are rare things, even in the palace, it is rare to make them once!" The emperor said with a smile and a nod.

"It's a pity that this kind of delicacy can only be tasted superficially, it's a pity, if you can eat it often, you will definitely be able to live a long life!" Feng Qujian shook his head regretfully.

"I have heard that Qinghe Hou has the art of beeherding, and he has raised a few boxes of bees in a wooden box in his hometown Qinghe Town, which can be eaten at any time if he wants, and he is good at making a delicacy called sweet and sour pork ribs......"

Before Meng Yi's words were finished, Emperor Li Sifeng was moved, "Where did Meng Aiqing hear about the bee herding technique?" Qin Shi Huang couldn't help but ask.

"Back to Your Majesty, the eldest son of the minister, Meng Yun, is friendly with the Marquis of Qinghe, and I went to visit the Marquis of Qinghe Mansion a few days ago, and listened to a few people from the Hou Mansion!" Meng Yi replied.

"Hey, Qinghe Hou really has a strange skill, this bee is an insect, and there are chela needles, wild and untamable since ancient times, and a nest is densely packed with thousands, I don't know how to tame, if it is true, wouldn't you be able to eat honey at any time in the future?" Several people looked surprised.

Before human beings learned beekeeping, it was very difficult to obtain honey, plus bees lived in the wilderness, the number was scarce, it was difficult to find, and even if it was found to collect, it was very difficult to collect, basically it belonged to the primitive harvesting method of killing chickens and taking eggs and drying up and fishing, burning the honeycomb with fire, burning all the adult bees inside, and then obtaining the hive and the young peaks inside (commonly known as peaks), this method of cutting grass and eradicating roots must only be used once, so after collecting a nest of honey, I want to eat it a second time, I'm afraid it can only depend on luck.

Therefore, honey is very valuable before learning to raise bees, more valuable than gold, because even if there is gold, it can't be bought, the quantity is too scarce, the emperor is not always ready to eat it, it can only depend on luck, and most of the bees live in the south, Xianyang is located in the northwest, although it is not a bitter cold place, but the winter is cold and the climate is dry, and the flowers and plants are not as prosperous as in the south, so the distribution of bees is more scarce, even if Li Sifeng goes to the disease Mengyi, these nobles who are noble nobles, can only occasionally eat some, Although we all know that honey is a good thing, we can only think about it.

Therefore, now that I heard Meng Yi say that Chen Xu would also keep bees for honey, they all became interested, and they all decided to take the time to visit the Qinghe Marquis Mansion to see if they could learn this method of bee herding, the four of them chatted while eating, and slowly chatted about other delicacies along the honey, and then Feng Qu quickly turned his head to look at Li Si and said with a smile: "Before entering the palace, Li Xiang seemed to be sitting in the carriage and still eating food, I don't know what delicious food made Li Xiang so desperate?" ”

Li Si's old face turned red, and he shook his head a little embarrassedly and said, "It's not a special delicacy, it's just a river crab cooked by Qinghe Hou!" ”

"River crabs? Could it be those shell worms crawling sideways everywhere in the ditch? Feng Quji was puzzled.

"Not bad!" Li Si nodded slightly.

"Li Xiangmo is not tricking me, can that thing still be eaten?" Not only Meng Yi was a little unconvinced, but the emperor's face also shook slightly.

"Hehe, in fact, the taste is really very good, you can compete with the barbecue in Qinghe Garden, the pepper is crispy and crispy, it is a rare pastime snack, if the taste is not good, Si will not steal all the way from the Ziying Palace to the palace gate!" Li Si smiled and drank tea to hide his embarrassment.

"It seems that it is a rare delicacy to be able to compete with barbecue......

So a few people began to call Xiao Jiujiu again in their hearts to see if they would go to Qinghe Hou's Mansion to inquire about the production method of this crab after returning home.

Because everyone has seen crabs, there are everywhere in the ditch, but Qinghehou's way of eating is definitely not an ordinary way to eat, and there must be a different cooking method to be delicious.
