Chapter 132: When the Night Whispers (2)

It was very taboo to discuss his son in front of the emperor. Looking at the emperor's cold face, Wei Yu was still unmoved. The emperor's trust in him was absolute. The eyes and ears of the emperor who can control the Heishui Pavilion itself represents the code of conduct of Wei Yu and the will of the emperor himself. Therefore, in front of the emperor, he did not have the need for other ministers to carefully figure out their intentions in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, you should also know that the prince of Fusu has both ability and political integrity, and is very praised by the head of Qian. The officials of the DPRK and China vaguely support the prince of Fusu as the crown prince. Even you, the emperor, have the heart to cultivate the work of Fusu as the crown prince. ”

If this kind of thing comes out of someone else's mouth, he definitely wants to kill the traitorous minister of Fusu. Undoubtedly, hint to the emperor in front of the emperor, your son is not honest, and you should pay attention to the gangs and factions in the court. But from Wei Yu's mouth, the emperor only had a faint smile on his face. Although the power of heaven is unpredictable, the emperor has never hidden his love for his eldest son. If it weren't for Fusu's maternal background being too low, he would have already established Fusu as the crown prince. The reason why Fusu was supported by the military was actually implied by him. In this regard, the Montessori brothers are the most in his mind.

Looking at the old age spots that appeared on Wei Yu's face, the emperor bowed slightly. But there was no reaction to Wei Yu's words. As an emperor, silence already represents the attitude he expresses.

Seeing that the emperor did not answer, Wei Yi still said calmly: "The attitude of the Meng brothers and the Wang father and son towards the eldest son is relatively clear, but Meng Tian has not come back from the border pass, and has little impact on the general trend of the imperial court. The old general Wang Jian is already old, and Wang Ben has been in poor health, and his son Wang Li is still young. ”

Such a comment does not sound directly related to what Wei Yu said before. But when it was heard in the emperor's ears, it seemed so harsh.

The four people mentioned by Wei Yu are all representatives of the military and are the cornerstone of the Great Qin Empire. It can also be said that this represents the will of the imperial military. The emperor naturally did not forget that Tu Ju, who was fighting in the south, was a general raised by Wang Qian, Ren Huan was a favorite general drawn back from the north by Meng Yi, and Zhao Tuo was a rising star recommended by Wang Ben. The amount of information contained in the seemingly unconnected commentary is staggering.

If the southern expedition fails, then these three generals will inevitably lose power, and the influence of the military in the imperial court will be greatly weakened. The weakening of the military's power will naturally be the civilian clique, or the eunuchs and relatives.

The Emperor was silent for a while. What the military actually represents, is his own will. But now there are those who dare to challenge his authority and offend his dignity. After a while, a sneer appeared on the emperor's face. After a while, he said lightly: "I want to get greater benefits!" But I'm not old, and I'm not confused, would they dare to do such a blatant thing? ”

Wei Yi's head lowered slightly. There was no direct gaze at the emperor's blade-like voice. After a long while, he said, "Your Majesty, these are only inferences based on the information obtained, and there is no evidence to indicate anything. Wei Yu cautiously reminded the emperor. He knew that the emperor had a strong temperament, and he was afraid that he would do something to wash the court.

"I know." The emperor's face was flat, but his body stood up suddenly, and said: "But whether there is evidence or not, I have to beat these guys well, so that they know that the power in their hands is given by me!" What I didn't give them, it's best not to reach out and touch them, or I'll chop off their claws and heads! ”

Wei Yi owed slightly, and sighed faintly.

The emperor sat down and said slowly: "The land of Ouyue has been defeated, and I am going to name it Minzhong County, what do you think, sir?"

Looking at the emperor who suddenly showed a smile from his anger, Wei Yu sighed again in his heart. Said cautiously: "This is the government affairs of the imperial court, and the old minister is inconvenient to say a lot. But what His Majesty thinks is good, is good. "The Heishui Pavilion is not allowed to interfere in the government affairs, this is the emperor's restriction on the Heishui Pavilion. The Heishui Pavilion has the power to investigate and supervise the behavior of the world and hundreds of officials, and because of this, the Heishui Pavilion has always been outside the imperial court, and only plays the role of acting as the emperor's eyes and ears.

The emperor glanced at Wei Yi, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "In Zhao Tuo's battle report and Meng Yi's recital, he was not stingy with Chen Sheng's praise. Speaking of this, the emperor groaned and said slowly: "Last time he received a knighthood, there were many people in the court who disagreed. Speaking of this, a mocking smile appeared on the emperor's face and said, "I really want to know how these guys will react if I order Chen Sheng to be the county guard of Minzhong County?" ”

Wei Yi took a deep breath. Although when the emperor missed the reward for Chen Sheng when he rewarded Qin Jun, he had already thought of the possibility that the emperor could use Chen Sheng for other purposes. But Wei Yu didn't expect that the emperor would have such a big deal and directly give the position of a county guard!

The county guard of a county! There are only thirty-six counties in this world, and each county guard can be said to be a soil emperor, and in the land under his jurisdiction, he is the supreme existence. When dividing the counties, how many games did the various forces go through before the final list was determined for the candidates for the 36 county guards? Although this new place, which has just been incorporated into the empire, is a bit wilder, it is still a big piece of fat meat that is eye-catching. I don't know how many pieces of music have been written by the imperial historians who have various forces behind them, recommending candidates for the new county guard. This list is estimated to be no less than a hundred.

Wei Yi's brow furrowed. He knew very well that the emperor's words were no joke. But if Chen Sheng really became the county guard of this Minzhong County, then he might become the enemy of the civil and military officials of the entire empire!

The territory that the generals worked so hard to fight and the hard work of the ministers were all for the benefit of being able to share the soup after laying the territory, but the biggest benefit was picked up by a hairy boy, who can be convinced?

Did the emperor want to roast Chen Sheng in the fire? Wei Yi thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, Chen Sheng is still young, I'm afraid he won't be able to take on this important responsibility. ”

The emperor glanced at Wei Yu with a smile and said, "I became the king of Qin when I was thirteen years old, so don't you deserve it too?" Chen Sheng is a senior disciple of Mr., and Mr. also appreciates his intelligence, this kind of praise, even if it is me, Mr. has never had. After a pause, the emperor's voice was a little gloomy: "Besides, this chessboard is too quiet, and I am happy to put a stone down and rampage on this chessboard." ”
