Chapter 186: Old Scheming and Scheming Feng Quai

South of Xianyang City, Feng Mansion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Feng Quji's study was brightly lit, Feng Quji was on the top, Feng Zao was sitting beside him, and opposite Feng Zai was a middle-aged man in a green robe with a dark face, who was the doorman Chen Ping who was under the account when Feng Zai was stationed in Aocang.

Following Feng Zai to supervise the construction of roads in the South China Sea, Chen Ping has also changed from a white boy to a dark-skinned strong man.

Chen Ping's conscientious assistance to Feng Zheng was also extremely rich. He was originally a cloth cloth, but now he has become a member of the Guilin Army under Feng Zai.

The position of Senate was created after Hu Hai abolished the shogunate, which had been prevalent in the various armies and offices of the Great Qin. After the reform of the bureaucratic system, the Senate was also formally included in the official examination course of the Ministry of Officials.

The shogunate, in fact, was the staff that prevailed in later generations. However, most of the shogunates in the palaces of the various armies of the Great Qin were the private staff of the main generals of the various armies or the imperial court officials.

Before Hu Hai reformed the official system, the first thing to abolish was the shogunate in the palaces of the various imperial officials. The shogunate in the Wenchen Mansion was all disbanded and then brought under the jurisdiction of the imperial court; The same is true of the shogunate. After the reform of the bureaucratic system, the shogunate of the senior officials of the court was officially banned, and the shogunate personnel under the command of the military commanders who led the troops outside were recognized as senators.

These senators are the ones that each military general can take office only after they have reported to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War for registration. Once it is found that the military commander is privately supporting the shogunate, he will be punished and dismissed.

This was a decision made by Hu Hai after careful consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of the shogunate system. It will not make the ministers of the DPRK and China break their muscles and bones. In addition, Hu Hai carried out various reforms before. At least on the bright side, it is extremely mild.

It was decided after comprehensively considering the interests of various interest groups, so it was not opposed by a group of ministers.

The military senators, in fact, are the staff officers of later generations, and in the official system of the ministry, the military senators are all the positions of the five grades. Of course, this is only when the five products are under the command of the generals, once these senators want to transfer to the locality, they must pass the examination of the ministry, and the procedures can only be handled after the examination is passed, once it can't be passed, then I'm sorry. If you still want to move to the local government. It is replaced by the position of seven grades.

The senator of Zhengwupin, for Chen Ping, who is not very good and has ambitions, is already a glorious ancestor.

"Father, what do you have to call the child in the middle of the night?"

Feng Zao poured a large bowl of decanting soup from the servant. Looking at Feng Quji, who was sitting at the top, he asked.

At night. Hu Hai held a banquet at the Great Qin Royal Academy. A group of military commanders who rushed back from all over the country, as well as a number of leading figures of the Great Qin military such as Meng Tian, Zhang Han and others, as well as thousands of students from the Royal Academy, were all present.

This banquet with the emperor did not end until late at night, and Feng Zheng only arrived in Xianyang yesterday. When I went to the military department to report and pay the military flag, tonight should be the first time I have returned to the mansion in two years, but I didn't expect that I was invited to Feng Quji's study by the servants waiting at the gate of the mansion just after entering the door.

When Feng Zheng came in, Chen Ping was already in Feng Quji's study, and the copper case in front of the two of them had obviously been going on for a long time.

"The matter in the army, my father has just asked Mr. Chen, you are doing a good job. There's just one thing, you're all wrong. Feng Qujian looked at Feng Zheng and said expressionlessly.

Feng Zai didn't feel uncomfortable at all when he was a child because he was a child, but hearing Feng Quji call Chen Ping Mr. Chen made Feng Zai happy in his heart.

As a confidant who leans on his arm, this is the first time he has met his father. Obviously, before he came back, Chen Ping had quietly conquered his father.

"The elder of the pavilion is serious, and the lower officials should never be called this." Here, Chen Ping hurriedly got up and hit the ground.

"The gentleman is talented, and the old man is convinced, sit down quickly. It is a blessing for my Feng Mansion to have Mr. Assist my child. Although Feng Quji was not smiling, the relief in his words could be heard by anyone.

"The elder of the pavilion has tormented the lower officials, and the lower officials are ashamed and dare not be the officials!" Chen Ping is really a little anxious now. With the respect of Feng Quji's Cabinet Office Auxiliary Minister to say such a thing, Chen Ping, who was only a five-grade senator, was under great pressure.

"Father, sir, don't compliment each other. Tell me what I'm doing wrong. Feng Zai interjected on the side.

"Lord Chen, please take a seat." Feng Qujian waved his hand to invite Chen Ping to sit down, but the title had quietly changed. can make Feng Quji call him a gentleman, now this Daqin can't say that there is no, at least Chen Ping absolutely can't afford it.

"Xie Ge Lao!" Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"I already know what happened in the academy today. Your Majesty is really clever. Feng Quji didn't answer Feng Zheng's words, but sighed and turned the topic to what happened in the Royal Military Academy today.

"Well, in five years, my Guilin Army must be crowned with the word 'royal'." Feng Zheng thought so.

"Alright, don't pretend to be stupid in front of me. Don't tell me it's useless. When Feng Quji heard Feng Zheng's words, he rarely showed a hint of humanity, that is, contempt.

"Well, it's been a long time since I've seen my father, and I forgot about it for a while." Feng Zao touched his bare skull and smiled extremely shyly.

"You and that Han Xin are really like fire and water?" Feng Qu glanced at Feng Zheng's light brain, and said slowly.

"It's not counted, it's just that we don't get along with each other."

"When I return to the South China Sea in the next year, I will remove all the people of my Feng clan who you put in the army, and put them by your side as personal guards." Feng Quji didn't answer Feng Zheng's words, and said slowly.

"That's what my father said." Feng Zai's face became much more serious.

Obviously, through today's events, everyone knows that it is impossible to turn the Jiuyuan Army into his own private soldiers like Meng Tian controlled the Jiuyuan Army, and the emperor will never allow anyone to have an influence on a certain army that far exceeds that of the emperor like Meng Tian.

Bestowing a military flag with the emperor's seal was obviously not the emperor's first step. There must be a back-up move later. If there are any more ignorant people who want to control a large army like Meng Tian. Then the result that awaits him must be extremely miserable.

What's more, with the military flag with the emperor's seal becoming the soul of the legion, the influence of the commanders of each legion on an army is no longer important. The most important thing for the generals to consider is how not to lose the military flag on the battlefield.

After all, even if you don't lose the battle, if you lose the flag, then there is no need for this legion to exist.

No one doubts the authenticity of Hu Hai's saying that "if the military flag is lost, the army will be destroyed".

"Will Your Majesty be summoned tomorrow?" Feng Quji knew that his son actually understood everything, and he could just click on it.

"Not yet. My father must have known that many of our other armies have become families, and His Majesty summoned me back to Xianyang at this time. I think I also want those who have a family to be able to pass on the lineage. ”

"Hmm. Well, tomorrow you and Senator Chen will go to the fiefdom of your father and son, and bring back the account books and the people in charge of the fief. ”

"Father. Why is that? Calling back all the stewards, who will rule over all the things of the fiefdom? Feng Zai heard Feng Quji's words. Wondered.

"No need!"

"Don't need it?"

"Three days later, at the Great Pilgrimage. I will ask Your Majesty to return all the fiefs that Your Majesty has bestowed upon my father and son. Feng Qujian slowly leaned back on the brocade stool. Looking at the pot of red charcoal fire in the study, the road was faint.

Feng Zheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Feng Quji's words, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said, "Your Majesty wants to take back all the fiefs of my Feng family?" ”

What a fief means to a family Feng Zheng is very clear, if it is not for the emperor to take it back. Then, unless Feng Quji's head is in water, he will take the initiative to hand over the fief that is related to the rise and fall of the entire family.

Nowadays, the property of most nobles is nothing more than all kinds of land. After all, at this time, with land, there will be everything, and there will be everything. And so many people want the high lord and the marquis for? Not for those fiefdoms?

The fief should be everywhere and everything is arranged by the lord of the fief himself, and there is no need to pay taxes or taxes. The real drought and flood harvest, the golden rice bowl cornucopia.

"It's not that Your Majesty wants to take back my Feng family's fiefdom, but that I want to hand it over myself."

To Feng Zai's surprise, Feng Quji really said that he was going to hand over the fief.

"Father, why is that? My Feng family's fiefdom has been handed over, is my Feng family still the Feng family? Feng Zheng suddenly became a little anxious.

"Your Majesty said yes, my Feng family is still the Feng family, and no one dares to spread wild on my Feng family's head; Your Majesty said no, even if my Feng family dominates those fiefdoms, it is nothing! So what's the use of those fiefs coming? ”

Feng Quji's voice suddenly became high-pitched, and he looked at Feng Zheng with burning eyes.

Feng Zheng was speechless.

"Haven't you found out that the marquis behind Your Majesty, including the Duke of Jiuyuan, don't have any fiefs? Jiuyuan Gong already has a fief, and it is still said that there is no longer a fief, but those who have been awarded the position of marquis, concubine, and doctor have ever been given a fief by His Majesty?

General Baihu, General Qinglong, and Han Xin, General Ba, and General Yu Zi of the South China Sea, have they ever been given a fief when they were awarded titles by His Majesty? Not a single one, no one ever had a fief.

Wuma Marquis Linghu Fan was so powerful in Hanoi that His Majesty lost his title in a word, and his son died tragically. On the second day after Linghu Fan was captured, the household department had already sent people to Hanoi to check the population, heaven and earth in the fiefdom of Wumahou, and register and make a register.

This time, His Majesty ordered more than ten ministers of the former Six Kingdoms who were stationed in various places to be named marquis for their good Qin merits to come to Xianyang to meet them. Speaking of this, Feng Qujian sneered twice before continuing: "I'm afraid I can't leave Xianyang anymore." ”

"Father, are you saying that Your Majesty is going to kill all the dozens of marquises?"

"If you want to kill, Your Majesty will not kill. After all, their titles were all conferred by the First Emperor himself. It is true that I have been credited to Daqin. But His Majesty will definitely not let them go again, and these people will go to the fiefdom. ”

"Father, Ma Xing, Zhaoping, and Du He are all generals, although the number of troops is only a few thousand, but the troubled side is still enough. You must know that those soldiers are all using my Great Qin-style weapons, and they are not like Wei Bao's rabble. ”

"So what? What was the result of Xiang Liang's hundreds of thousands of soldiers? What's more, I'm afraid that as soon as you and the other generals left the camp, His Majesty's messenger had already arrived at the camp of the garrison. ”

Feng went to twist the gray beard under his chin and said faintly.

"Listen to my father's meaning, Your Majesty has never said that you want to take back the fiefs of the various marquises?"

Feng Qu glanced at Feng Zheng in surprise.

"It is precisely because Your Majesty never said it that I have to take the initiative to hand over the fief."

"Father, those ministers of the Six Kingdoms betrayed their lords for glory, snakes and rats at both ends, for the sake of one party, they levied and extorted money in the fief and did not pay any taxes to the imperial court, Your Majesty should take their fiefs, but my Feng family is a meritorious service of Great Qin, and the fiefs were all given to my Feng family when the first emperor was alive. What will Your Majesty take back our fiefdoms? ”

"It is precisely because Your Majesty has no reason to take back the fief given by His Majesty the First Emperor and others, so I want to give Your Majesty a reason."

At this point, if Feng Zheng didn't understand it again, then it is estimated that Feng Quji would really want to knock his bare brain case with a wine bottle.

The emperor seems to have been doing or hinting at reclaiming the fiefs originally given to his courtiers, but for various reasons it was difficult to start. And the matter of Linghu Fan is a beginning, and the emperor wants to continue to get back the fiefdom of Yin Ru Ma Xing, there is no better excuse.

However, Feng Quji's return of the fief to the emperor will inevitably make the old Qin family who closely follow the emperor's footsteps follow suit, and with them pushing behind, then the emperor can not only recover the fiefs of Ma Xing and these people in a righteous and bright manner, but also take back the fiefs of the various marquis in the court.

The emperor agreed to Feng's invitation, and others naturally did not pay. But the consequences of not paying it must be thought through.

In other words, his father not only wanted to give the emperor a reason, but also to carry a black pot for the emperor.

If something really happens, I am afraid that the Marquis of Great Qin, whether it is Ma Xing or others such as Meng Tian, naturally it is impossible for them to hate the emperor, and the only thing they want to hate will definitely only be Feng Quji, the initiator.

Feng Zai was a little incredulous. Is this still my own dad?

In case the emperor doesn't have such thoughts, but is just wishful thinking on the part of his father, then I'm afraid that when the time comes, the Feng family, will not be human inside and out.

"If this matter is successful, then my Feng clan will prosper within a hundred years. However, if this is to be successful, it is not enough for you and me, father and son. It takes two more people to help. (To be continued......)
