Chapter 33: Your Majesty, It's Too Late for the Old Minister to Repent!
Zhangtai Palace will meet, and there will be an endless stream of ministers entering the palace on the fifth watch.
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.
Bai Zhuo was already waiting outside the Zhangtai 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 Zhangtai 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 He Yi's name is not on the list of exposés, He Yi, as the internal history of Zhisu, is in charge of the empire's money and grain, and the whole dynasty is up and down, who has no relationship with He Yi?
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 above the lobby, and was a little puzzled.
"The food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, the current disasters and insects in various parts of the empire, just when these mundane things are needed. Instead of letting these things lie in the ashes of the palace, it is better to give relief to the victims to relieve the king's worries. ”
Wang Jian smiled, wearing the new Guogong court dress made by the imperial court, and explained.
"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 has been married to the palace for more than ten years, he is 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, the child is about to leave for Nanhai County."
Li You looked at his father in the secret room and said in a deep voice.
"Do a good job, don't let down Your Majesty's grace."
Lees nodded, looked at his son, and encouraged.
"Your Majesty added the title of Duke of the Kingdom on top of the Marquis of Che yesterday. My father is among them, and the four princes of the empire can still see that His Majesty is gracious, and he still thinks of the old friendship between monarchs and ministers. ”
Li You thought about it, but he couldn't help but persuade.
"Stupid, that Wang Qian, Meng Tian, Feng Qu Ji Guogong is 5,000 stones, what has changed for his father, except for a false name?"
Li Si glanced at Li You meaningfully and scolded.
"My father, the Marquis of Che, is 1,000 stones, and the prime minister is 3,000 stones, and now the Duke of Jin is 3,000 stones, isn't it an increase of 2,000 stones?"
Li Youleng said.
"The dukes of the country are all 5,000 years old, but the father is 3,000, why is this?"
Li Si stared at his son and asked rhetorically.
"This ......"
Li You showed hesitation, hesitated, and didn't come up with the reason 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 You.
After Li You 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 reading it, Li You was very happy and excited.
"A good thing? He is seventy-five out of seventy for his father, and he is old and useless! Your Majesty, it's too late for the old minister to regret it! ”
As he spoke, Li Si burst into tears and began to cry bitterly.
Li Si has 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, what are you?"
Li You looked at this sudden scene and was stunned.
He had never seen his father so vulnerable 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.
"Yu'er! Remember the words of your Father, and do not be fooled. If you make a mistake and become a thousand years of hatred, you will lose all the games if you are not careful, you must not follow in the footsteps of your father, serve the empire, and never swerving until death. ”
Li Si wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his shirt, grabbed Li You's hand, and told him repeatedly.
