Chapter 127: Swords and Swords in the Court (3)
The doctors are mostly Confucian students. It was basically collected by the imperial court in all parts of the world. Most of these people are proficient in Zhou etiquette and follow the religion of the world. When the emperor began to control the system a few years ago, these Confucian scholars supported Wang Juan and suggested that the emperor implement the feudal system under heaven. At that time, the emperor adopted Li Si's suggestion and implemented the county system, so that these doctors who were determined to promote Confucianism were lost for a while. And Wang Juan also lost power, resigned as prime minister, and was succeeded by Li Si.
Now that Li Si has been beaten back to the prototype by the emperor, and the emperor has asked Wang Juan to temporarily take the position of prime minister, what does this mean? Many Confucian scholars were very excited, thinking that the emperor had finally realized the benefits of the feudal system and was ready to reuse Wang Juan to implement it? If this is the case, these Confucian doctors will usher in the real spring, according to the old system of the Zhou period, every time a kingdom is divided, the imperial court will send ministers who are familiar with Zhou etiquette to serve as important positions in the vassal states, which is far better than being a famous and powerless scholar in the imperial court.
Although the excitement was extraordinary, no doctor dared to propose measures for the emperor to restore the feudal system at this time. Today, the atmosphere of the emperor and the court is a bit weird, as long as people with a little political vision will not rashly say something that does not know the blessing or the bad. What's more, these Confucian scholars who "don't build dangerous walls"?
"Lu Buli, what are you doing?" The emperor cleanly dealt with Li Si's affairs, and asked another imperial history. Lü Buli was originally a minor official in the Imperial Governor's Mansion and was proficient in the laws of the empire, but later he was appreciated by the imperial historian Feng Zai and transferred to the imperial historian to monitor the courtiers' every move. Everyone in the court knew that Lu Buli was Feng Zheng's person.
"The minister impeached Zhao Gao of the CRRC government!" Lu Buli came out of the ranks, and after bowing heavily to the emperor, he said in a deep voice.
The ministers were in an uproar again. What the hell is going on today? First Zhou Qingchen impeached Prime Minister Li Si, and then went to Lü Buli to impeach Zhao Gao, both of whom were the emperor's confidants and ministers, especially Zhao Gao, who was the emperor's playmate from childhood to adulthood, familiar with the emperor's life and daily life, and the emperor treated him well.
When Lü Buli said that Zhao Gao was impeached, the emperor's face was extremely calm, as if he had expected it. But Zhao Gao changed color, trembling all over, and looked at Lu Buli's eyes with puzzlement and surprise. He really couldn't understand that a little imperial history would dare to impeach him! He's looking for death!
"Your Majesty......" Zhao Gao wanted to go crazy, but in an instant, he felt a chill down his spine just like Li Si. Lu Buli naturally didn't have the courage to impeach him, he must have been instructed by others, and who was this instigator? Zhao Gao thought of what happened to Li Si before, and he was vaguely aware of it, and immediately walked down from the emperor's side, knelt down heavily towards the emperor in His Royal Highness, and shouted His Majesty in his mouth, and his voice was extremely poignant.
The emperor sank his face and said, "Lu Yushi hasn't said that he will impeach you, do you know that your crime is extremely heinous, and voluntarily surrender to the law?" ”
Zhao Gao originally wanted to win the emperor's sympathy, but he didn't expect the emperor to say such a thing, which made Zhao Gao tremble. "Lu Buli, you say." The emperor's face was gloomy. Seeing that Zhao Gao was impeached, he was so panicked, and he was vaguely disappointed in his heart. He has known Zhao Gao since he was a child, and he is also very familiar with Zhao Gao's temperament, if Zhao Gao has no ghost in his heart, facing Lu Buli's impeachment, he will definitely listen to it calmly, and then argue again, and the other party will be speechless. Could it be that Zhao Gao really colluded with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms? The emperor's face was as calm as water, but he was already secretly vigilant in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the minister Lu ignored the impeachment of Zhao Gao of the CRRC government and connived at his brother Zhao Zaimei County and Longxian County to illegally annex land. Zhao Cheng relied on Zhao Gao's power and forced the local Qianshou to sell the land on which he depended for his survival at twice the market price, and purchased more than 3,000 hectares of land. Zhao Chengfu is even strange, but the head of Qian, who has lost his land, has no place to stand and is displaced, which is Zhao Gao's sin! Lu Buli said angrily.
Hearing Lü Buli's impeachment of Zhao Gao, many ministers were stunned, and the Qin Law stipulates that private land can be bought and sold. Many wealthy people will buy large amounts of land as a permanent property to benefit their children and grandchildren. Among the ministers of the court, which family does not have a large pile of land? Even if Zhao Cheng bought a lot of land at a lower price than the market price, it is nothing, Zhao Gao may not know about these things, and Lu Buli's impeachment of Zhao Gao like this seems a little unkind.
Hearing this, the emperor frowned lightly and asked Zhao Gao; "Zhao Gao, is there a matter at this time?"
"The minister doesn't know about Zhao Cheng." Zhao Gao took a deep breath, and his voice became a little calmer. Originally, he thought that Lu Buli impeached him for other reasons, but he didn't expect that it would be because of such a little broken thing, and the nervousness in his heart suddenly decreased, and he defended: "Although the minister and Zhao Cheng are brothers, but the connection is not close, I don't know if Zhao Cheng secretly bullied men and women in the name of the minister, and there is no king's law. ”
The emperor nodded lightly, and said with a sigh of interest: "Get up, Lu Yushi, since you found out about this matter, then you will cooperate with the officials of Neishi County to thoroughly investigate this matter to see if there is any connection with Zhao Gao." After a pause, the emperor said: "However, Zhao Gao is Zhao Cheng's elder brother, and if he is not strict with his brothers, he also needs to be punished, so he will be punished for three months." In addition, the land deed that Zhao Chengqiang bought and sold was submitted to Neishi County, and after the verification was completed, it was dispersed back to the original Qianshou. Zhao Gao, you personally supervise this matter, if you don't handle it well, hum! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Gao hurriedly bowed his head and thanked the emperor. The emperor's board was raised high, but it was gently lowered, so that he didn't dare to breathe again. The courtiers felt even more strange in their hearts, how could the emperor care so much about such a small case, this thing is very rare!
"Neishi Han Dongqing, who are you impeaching?" The emperor picked up the bronze jue on the desk, took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and looked at Han Dongqing, the third imperial historian who had come out before.
Han Dongqing hurriedly came out and explained: "Your Majesty, Weichen is not impeached, but recommended. ”
"Oh?" The emperor showed an imperceptible smile on his face and said, "Say." ”
"Weichen recommended Chen Sheng, the fifth doctor of Yangcheng, to serve as the county guard of Minzhong County." Han Dongqing is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, who has gone through the era of the Great Qin Empire from the defensive to the world, although it is only an imperial history, but it has a lot of weight in the court. All forces in the court wanted to win him over, but Han Dongqing still went his own way, like a lonely man in the court. He is also different from other imperial histories, he rarely gives the emperor a recital, but every time he plays it, every time it will be earth-shattering.
