Chapter 6: Consolidating Imperial Power (2)
Ying Fusu was served by dozens of people, finished dinner, returned to his son's mansion, and slept beautifully.
Early in the morning, Ying Fusu was woken up by the eunuch, and the eunuch reported that the generals and ministers had arrived, and Ying Fusu was served by several slaves and maids, put on the son's robe, washed up, and after breakfast, he met with the generals and ministers in the imperial room.
On the chair at the head of the imperial room, Ying Fusu sat steadily, ten meters away from Ying Fusu, Meng Tian and Meng Yi stood in front, and behind the two stood all the generals.
Gongziqing Qin Zhan, with a sword, stood three meters to the left of Yingfusu.
"Generals and ministers, let you wait for Lonely, Lone is a little careless."
Everyone bowed their heads slightly, not daring to say anything.
"Lone, I want to ask all the generals and ministers to come here, I want to discuss with you, the magistrates of the counties have cleared the rebels in the army yesterday, so the magistrates of the counties who are not loyal to the royal family of the Great Qin also need to be purged, what do you think?"
All the generals and ministers shouted in unison, "Fusu Gongzi Shengming."
"Okay, then it's settled, there are some generals who don't know each other very well, General Meng Tian will introduce one or two."
"The last general will be enlightened and obey orders."
Meng Tian took a military step, took two steps forward, turned around, started the introduction of one person, one by one, and after a circle, Ying Fusu basically knew the name.
"All the generals and ministers, Lone, know that you are all loyal to Daqin and the Great Qin royal family, presumably all the generals and ministers already know that there is a will in front of you, so that Gu and General Meng Tian commit suicide, how could Lone's father make such a will, Lone thinks, there are some young people who pretend to pass on the will"!
"Lonely, you must not count it like this, you must find out the cause of your father's death, but! The generals and ministers also know that Xianyang is too far away from Lonely, and they don't know many things, and they don't know which chaotic ministers and thieves did it"!
"So! All the generals and ministers, we must work together with Gu to protect the fourteen counties in the north, and the fourteen counties in the north must not be chaotic, and if any county dares to be chaotic, then the main magistrates of which county will be arrested and the nine clans will be punished"!
Generals and Ministers: "No."
"Lone knows that the construction of the Great Wall costs the people and money, and the labor alone reaches millions, and the generals and ministers say that there is no need to build the Great Wall, there is a sentence how to say, the people are like water, the officials are like the boat on the water, the water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat"! After Ying Fusu finished speaking, he quietly looked at the generals and ministers in front of him.
Two days ago, I thought about the millions of laborers, and I knew very well that no matter which dynasty or generation, we must be good to the people, only if the people support it, the court can last for a long time, and besides, there is no need to build the Great Wall at all, according to history, Hu Hai of Qin became the emperor, and the Qin Dynasty will be over in three years.
The generals and ministers looked at each other, but they didn't say anything, and in their hearts, the generals were not willing to build the Great Wall so hard and money, but this matter was done by the First Emperor and those ministers, so the generals didn't make a noise.
Meng Yi Shangqing looked left and right, and saw that no one said anything, the scene was a little weird, Meng Yi actually knew the thoughts of Fusu Gongzi, everyone knew Fusu Gongzi, who was famous for caring for civilians.
Meng Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Childe, Weichen has something to say."
Ying Fusu smiled slightly, "Meng Yi Shangqing, you say."
Meng Yi organized the language, "Wechen thinks that after the death of the First Emperor, there will definitely be young people in the country who will jump out, and Wechen thinks that building the Great Wall is too laborious and costly, and there is no need to build it, and stabilizing the counties is the first thing."
Meng Tian didn't say anything, although he was loyal to the First Emperor, but the First Emperor died, and now he is loyal to Fusu Gongzi, what Gongzi said, Meng Tian thinks that it is good to follow him.
Ying Fusu's eyes swept to the generals, "Generals, do you think it is necessary to build the Great Wall?"
The generals looked at each other and shouted in unison: "The last general thinks that there is no need to build the Great Wall, and the first thing is to stabilize the counties."
All the generals present are not stupid, if they are stupid, they will not become generals, they all know that Fusu Gongzi is going to compete for the throne, either follow him or become a dead man.
In the first place, Ying Fusu laughed, "Okay, all the generals are generals who love the people, Lone is very pleased, and all the generals are willing to expand their territory with Lone"!
The generals and ministers: "The last general, Weichen, swear to follow Fusu Gongzi to the death!" Swear to follow Fusu Gongzi to the death! Swear to follow Fusu Gongzi to the death"!
Win Fusu was very happy, "Okay, good, good, then next, let's talk about the millions of laborers, let them go home, those who are willing to go home let them go home, and those who are willing to follow Gu, they will be formed into a new army, although the border guards have about 300,000, however, Lone seems to be far from enough, with the future conquest of the army, the expansion of the territory, Lone thinks, loyal to the Great Qin royal family, the more the better"!
All the generals and ministers shouted in unison: "Fusu Gongzi Shengming."
Win Fusu is embarrassed, this is not his own words, what he says is what he says...
"Okay, then it's decided", Ying Fusu said helplessly.
All the generals and ministers shouted in unison: "No".
Ying Fusu nodded with satisfaction, "The matter of a million laborers is over, but!" The affairs of the fourteen counties are not over yet, and Gu thinks that let Meng Yi and Deputy General Qin Le go to purge the magistrates who have different intentions, if they don't have different intentions, they don't need to go, and the generals and ministers can have objections"?
The generals and ministers shouted in unison again: "There is no objection."
Win Fu Su was full of spirits, "Okay, when the time comes, let Deputy General Qin Le, lead the soldiers of the Western Battalion and Meng Yi Shangqing, and go to clear the fourteen counties with different intentions."
Everyone: "Respect the Prince's Order"!
Ying Fusu talked with everyone for a while, and everyone dispersed, leaving Meng Tian, Meng Yi, and Gongziqing.
Ying Fusu looked at Meng Tian, Meng Yi, and Gongziqing, "Lonely, I don't know if I can say something to the three of you?"
The three of them shouted in unison: "The last general, Weichen, swear to be loyal to the prince of Fusu and the state of Qin."
Ying Fusu understood, he could say that he was ambitious, and the three of them first said that they were loyal to themselves, and then Qin State, which is still exquisite.
"Lone just make it clear, Lone doesn't say that Lone is orthodox, Lone was sent by his father to come to the frontier, in fact, it is to cultivate Lone to succeed to the throne, Lone and his father have also talked about it in private, and it is clear that Lone will succeed to the throne, so let Lone come here, that is, let General Meng Tian and the ministers cultivate Lone and support Lone."
"It's just, I didn't expect that my father left so suddenly, and many things were used by traitors like this, and Lone was angry and drank poison, who knew that he was not poisoned, and then Lone figured it out, it must not be like this, and he died if he didn't understand, how could he be worthy of his father, how could he be right to support Lone's ministers, and Lone's people."
The three ministers and generals in the house, who were stunned when they heard it, all believed the nonsense of winning Fusu, after all, at that time, who dared to say such a rebellious and rebellious word to punish the nine clans.
