Chapter 15 Accepting Bribes by Order
The banquet lasted until the end of the night, and Yingzheng sent someone to send William Hill and his party to the protocol officer. At this time, all the things set up in the Chengtian Hall were removed, and the civil and military officials looked at His Majesty with deep eyes, without the slightest intention of dispersing the dynasty, so they obediently walked to their positions one by one and stood quietly.
"To each his own. Ying Zheng's fingers rhythmically tapped on the table in front of him, and his eyes scanned a circle of civil and military officials.
After a while, Ying Zheng saw that none of the civil and military officials spoke out, and frowned slightly: "What's the matter?
"Minister Li Changqing is courageous, may I ask what Your Majesty means?" Li Changqing walked out and bowed to Ying Zheng.
"War. Ying Zheng's voice was very soft, but it was like a monstrous wave pouring into the hearts of civil and military officials, deafening.
"Then what did Your Majesty mean by what he did just now? At this time, the big priest behind Li Changqing stood up and asked Ying Zheng cautiously.
"The art of war is cloudy, know yourself and know the enemy, you can win a hundred battles. Ying Zheng was stunned, and then immediately followed: "Moreover, you can obtain more spirit stones, so that Daqin can take off quickly." ”
"Your Majesty, this move is also in the hands of the other party, and they also seem to need Great Qin's energy and purple gold very much to strengthen themselves. Li Si also walked out and expressed his opinion.
"Yes, it's just that the prime minister only talked about the skin and bones, and didn't point to the essence. This group of extraterritorial beings coincided with Great Qin, and they also wanted to find out the reality of Great Qin. I am also very sure that the other party must have caught Daqin's person as an eyeliner, and I already know a lot about Daqin, but Daqin doesn't know anything about the enemy, which is what I am worried about. Ying Zheng looked at Li Si with sharp eyes and said.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, a poisonous snake hiding in the shadows can deliver a fatal blow to people, but on the bright side. No matter how spicy the poisonous snake is, there is no need to be afraid. Li Si stroked his beard and said to Ying Zheng.
"What the Prime Minister said is very true. ”
"The Prime Minister is wonderful. "The civil and military officials immediately said a word. I complimented me a word.
"Evergreen, I'm going to send you to their federal government in the future. What do you think?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile on his face, looking at Li Changqing.
Li Changqing immediately comprehended his heart, and arched his hand to Ying Zheng and said: "Your Majesty, the minister must live up to Your Majesty's high expectations and thoroughly find out all the facts and falsehoods of the US imperialist federal government. ”
"Haha! Ying Zheng nodded appreciatively, and then quipped: "I don't doubt Changqing's ability, but I must not weaken the national prestige of Great Qin, don't be like today's ambassador of the Federation." Ahh
"Ha-ha-ha!"
"Ha-ha-ha!"
"Ha, ha, ha!" For a while, as Yingzheng's words fell, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu suddenly burst into laughter.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Chenning would rather be a broken jade, never a complete tile. Li Changqing didn't laugh, he knew very well what His Majesty meant, so he said categorically.
"I don't doubt Changqing's character and determination at all, but the open gun is easy to dodge, the hidden arrow is difficult to defend, the sharp blade and the spear are not terrible, but the scary thing is the soft knife. Gentle Township, endless conspiracies. Ying Zheng looked at Li Changqing and pointed out. He believes in Li Changqing's IQ. Will understand.
"Hah, ha, ha!" Li Changqing laughed out loud after hearing this.
"Why is Changqing laughing? Could it be that I have made a mistake in my words?" Ying Zheng felt a trace of displeasure rise in his heart, but he did not show the slightest expression on his face, but stared at Li Changqing and asked.
"Your Majesty, the minister has lost his temper! Please forgive your Majesty. With all due respect, although the minister is upright and unruly, he is not a hungry animal, and he is an ugly monster with five eyes like stones. The minister doesn't have any special hobbies!" Li Changqing immediately explained, although His Majesty did not show the slightest expression on his face. But he has been following His Majesty for so many years, and he has already practiced a pair of fiery eyes. A hint of dissatisfaction was caught in His Majesty's eyes.
"Ha! What Changqing said is reasonable, but I am too worried! Ha!
When the civil and military officials saw His Majesty's dragon face and joy, they also laughed one by one.
"Ahem. Li Si coughed softly, and the old god stood in place.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and knew that he had something to say, but because of the atmosphere of the scene, he did not directly interrupt everyone's emotions.
Ying Zheng immediately waved his hand, and the original laughter of the Chengtian Hall immediately fell silent. Then Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and said, "What do you think about the Prime Minister?"
"Your Majesty, if that extraterritorial creature really comes to bribe the ministers, I don't know what the ministers should do?" Li Si looked at Yingzheng with bright eyes and asked carefully.
"Do you still need to teach you?" Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si, and then glanced at the Manchu Dynasty's civil and martial arts.
"But the Great Qin Law ......" Li Changqing frowned, and said to Ying Zheng, a little wanted to say something.
"At this time and that time, I told you and others that exploiting the people, abusing power for personal gain, perverting the law for bribes, and being moths of the country, crushing bones and scattering ashes are not enough to compensate for their crimes. But for the enemy, I want you to magnify your greed infinitely, even if you are a clean official with clean sleeves and a single body, you must become a fierce wolf, and do your best to squeeze the last trace of value from the other party. Ying Zheng shouted loudly, instigating the civil and military officials.
"Summoning the government and the opposition, no matter how generous the other party gives, all of them will be collected in full and filled into the treasury. Those who take more benefits will be added to the official and knighted, and they will be the great Qin countrymen. Those who lose less are demoted and retired, and they are the great Qin vain. I have a word to reproduce, those who dare to fill their own pockets, and do not hand over to the treasury, will punish their clans, destroy their surnames, cut off their roots, and spurn them for generations to come. Ying Zheng swallowed mountains and rivers angrily, and said fiercely.
"Your Majesty is mighty, and the ministers don't dare. The civil and military officials immediately said at the same time, expressing their loyalty. But in the hearts of those corrupt officials who were deterred and restrained by Yingzheng's iron and bloody hand, they were secretly happy, this was simply an order to take bribes, and there was no need to be afraid anymore.
"Okay, I will continue to retreat, hit the bottleneck, and tomorrow the Prime Minister and Changqing will cooperate with the eldest prince Fusu to receive the federal ambassador, discuss the specific matters of exchange of commerce and trade, and sign an alliance. Ying Zheng seemed a little tired and said softly.
"Your Majesty has a will, if you have something to do, you will play it early, and you will retreat from the court if you have nothing to do. Little Beanzi immediately shouted smartly.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say. Li Si hurriedly walked out and bowed to Yingzheng.
"Prime Minister, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Ying Zheng was about to leave, but when he saw Li Si walking out, he immediately sat patiently on his throne and said.
"Your Majesty has doubts and worries. Lees looked worried, as if he had been stumped by something.
"I'm listening!" Ying Zheng looked a little lazy and said to Li Si. What he is most disgusted with is that these people have this problem, originally a sentence can be done, but it has to be divided into a few sentences, but these Wenchen are almost like this, although Ying Zheng is very troubled and nerve-wracking, but he is helpless, he can't also make a lore order?
"The minister is worried that this move will destroy the previous trend of corruption and bribery in the Qing Dynasty and the opposition, is it a little more than worth the loss?" Li Si said with a very serious face, you must know that in the past hundred years, the atmosphere of Daqin has been unprecedentedly clear, and Li Si can definitely reach an absolutely unprecedented height of ancient and modern exchanges, and after a bloody purge, the people are like being affected by a major earthquake, and it is not too much to close their doors almost at night, and the road is not overlooked.
