Chapter 7 Opening the Mansion and Celebrating
Now, Gongzi Fusu can finally return to the dynasty, which is not unpleasant for some ministers.
Feng Quji sat on the main seat above the study, and next to him was his son Feng Zai, the Imperial Doctor.
At this time, Feng Zheng also smiled happily: "Yes, the eldest son was able to return to the dynasty, which is enough to show that His Majesty sent the eldest son to the border pass, not to blame him sincerely, but as my father guessed, Your Majesty is called the distribution, but in fact, it is for the good intentions of the eldest son's growth." In this way, we still have something to do. ”
Meng Yi nodded, and admired Feng Quji, who was sitting on the top position: "It's still Feng Xiang's unique vision and his ability to do things like a god."
Qin Shi, respected the right, Feng Quji was the right prime minister, nominally respected by Li Si, the head of the hundred officials. It's just that although he is respected, he is not as favored as Li Si because of his concept of governing the country.
Now, Gongzi Fusu can return to the court, Feng Quji is also quite pleased, and said with a smile: "This time the eldest prince can come back, but it all depends on the medicine of the prime minister, and we need to do our best to cooperate with his legal reform in the court in the future."
When Meng Yi heard this, he nodded, pondered for a while, and then said: "Although this person is a little arrogant, he is indeed a talent, and he can analyze the law so thoroughly, it can be said that no one in the court can stand out." Moreover, although the method of governing the world advocated by him is not Confucianism, it can be regarded as benevolent governance, which coincides with us. It's just that this time he wants to subvert Li Si's usual political opinion of 'strictly ruling the people by law', and I think Li Si has already regarded him as a political enemy. ”
Feng Zheng was also worried: "Li Si is jealous of killing Han Fei, but it hasn't been long, if Li Si comes to do it again, then our prime minister will be in danger."
"What Feng Zheng said is not unreasonable! The prime minister has no foundation in the court, how easy it is for Li Si to kill him!" Meng Yi couldn't help but worry.
Li Si is jealous, but he is famous.
At the beginning, Li Si was afraid that King Qin would reuse Han Fei, so he spoke ill of Han Fei to King Qin, and King Qin believed Li Si and put Han Fei in prison. According to the Qin decree, prisoners in prison did not have the right to submit a written defense. With the collusion of Li Si and Yao Jia, Han Fei ate the poison sent by Li Si and committed suicide.
Li Si, who studied under Xunzi, learned the art of the emperor and specialized in the art of power.
It is precisely because he is such a person who specializes in power and art that he will not allow others to be more important than himself, for this reason, he can even kill Han Fei with jealousy, and he Li Yang can naturally kill him.
Feng Qujian laughed disapprerovingly.
Meng Yi was puzzled and said, "Why is Feng Xiang laughing?"
Feng Qu laughed and said, "You guys are too worried! Although our Zhongyu has no foundation in the DPRK, how can we be compared to Han Fei? Don't forget, in His Majesty's heart, he is regarded as the auspicious star of my Great Qin. Ji Xing was born, His Majesty's illness was gone, if Ji Xing suffered, then what will happen to His Majesty's luck? Therefore, you can rest assured, as long as Your Majesty believes that he is the auspicious star of my Great Qin for a day, Li Si will not dare to touch him for a day. “
Meng Yi thought about it and found that this was the reason.
Thinking that Li Yang boasted that he was a disciple of the immortals, and that Guiguzi was his senior brother, he couldn't help laughing and said: "This person bragged to himself in the court, but it is in line with His Majesty's hexagram."
Feng Zheng also said: "Yes, this person's boasting ability is extremely good, if it weren't for the words of governing the world later, we must have thought that he was just a frivolous person."
Feng Quji said thoughtfully: "All medicines are called immortal medicines, and they are called heavenly gifts, hehe, this person's smart means are not comparable to my generation!"
And on the other side of the Prime Minister Li Si's Mansion.
After Li Si went down to court, when he returned home, he refused all the subordinate ministers who asked to see him, and spent his steps in the courtyard alone, thoughtful, and no one knew what he was thinking.
At this time, his eldest son, Li You, hurriedly came to his side and said, "Father, I have found out clearly, Li Yang is not in my Daqin's household registration at all, as if he suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and there was no trace of him before that."
"Oh, that's it." Li Si was a little surprised.
"Father, what are we going to do now? There are many people in the DPRK and China who want to hold grievances for their fathers. Li You said angrily.
Li Si smiled gracefully and said, "Go and prepare, wait for us to go and congratulate Zhongyu together!"
"Huh? Father is going to congratulate him?" Li Youda was surprised.
Li Si glanced at his son, a little angry, and said with a slight reproach: "Son, you have made it clear to me, as an official in the court, the most important thing is to know the emperor's mind, and only by sharing the worries of Your Majesty in everything can you get Your Majesty's favor." Don't think that this power can be won by the courtiers themselves!"
"Now, Your Majesty has made up your mind to carry out legal reforms, and even more regards this Prime Minister as the auspicious star blessing of my Great Qin, if you dare to oppose it at this time, wouldn't it be against Your Majesty? Remember one sentence, the last thing a courtier should do is to go against the emperor's will! In this case, we must not only support the change of the law, but also recommend it to His Majesty for the Father, so that you can go to the account of the Prime Minister of China. ”
Li You was stunned for a moment, and then quickly nodded: "Son, remember."
"Well, let's go prepare a congratulatory gift!" Li Si waved his hand, then his eyes became confused, and he sighed: "Li Yang, I really want to see if you can solve this chaos of my Ren Qin!"
...........
Besides, Li Yang, since he came out of Xianyang Palace, he also felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
First, he didn't expect Ying Zheng to trust him so much, not only to be a marquis, but also to worship the prime minister to lead the reform of the law, and to lead the legal affairs of the court.
You must know that leading the reform of the law, and the consul general's law, this is a very different law change, just to modify the law of Daqin, and the consul general's law is different, which means that all personnel institutions related to the law are led by him.
In the words of later generations, it is the three public procuratorates and the law, all of which are led by him alone.
If it's not clear, it can only be summed up in one line:
You ask me what is the West Factory? I'll tell you now, what you don't dare to do in the East Factory, we will take care of it in the West Factory. Those you who don't dare to kill in the East Factory, we will kill in the West Factory. In a word, we can manage what the East Factory can manage, and we must manage what the East Factory can't. Chop first, then play, imperial privilege! This is the West Factory, is it clear enough?
That's right, Li Yang's power to lead the law is similar to the power of Xichang in the later Ming Dynasty, which dominates the power to supervise the trial of life and death. Even how the law is written, he has the final say.
Just ask you, isn't it awesome?
In addition to the emperor, no matter who violates the law, he must be controlled by him. The power in this can be imagined.
However, Li Yang was excited, but he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
"If I can do this in the next life, my parents and family will be happier for me?"
Li Yang smiled bitterly, in this world, without relatives and no reason, even if he once worships the marquis, no one will share the joy in his heart with him.
Thinking like this in his heart, before he knew it, he had returned to the door of the world.
At this time, looking up, Li Yang was stunned.
I saw that the whole Tianxia Restaurant was already full of lights at this time, and the red carpet was paved at the door, which was extremely festive.
At the door of the Tianxiaju Restaurant, the Ba Mi brothers and sisters were lining up on the red carpet, leading everyone to salute together, shouting in unison: "Welcome the Prime Minister back home!" Congratulations to the Prime Minister! Welcome back home! Congratulations to the ......"
Li Yang was stunned in place, his eyes were moist for some reason.
thought that in this world, no one would congratulate him, no one would celebrate for himself, but what he didn't expect was that the Ba family had already dressed up the world and was already waiting for him to go home.
Maybe it's because in this strange world, his heart is too lonely, so Li Yang has become a little more sentimental, and when he sees this scene in front of him, a warm current swells up in his heart.
"Congratulations to Yanghou, the emperor has reused, my sister and I are happy for Li Xiangxi, and congratulate Li Xiangxi." Ba Shi hurriedly greeted Li Yang and said with a smile on his face.
Ba Mi also said happily: "Congratulations to Gongzi for paying homage to the Prime Minister, Gongzi can finally show his ambitions."
Li Yang was very moved and very happy, and hurriedly returned the salute and said, "The Ba family has a heart!"
Ba Shi said with a smile: "Li Xiang doesn't have to be polite, we are all our own people, I have already organized a congratulatory banquet for Li Xiang, if hundreds of officials come to congratulate, this banquet will definitely not disgrace Li Xiang!"
"There's Brother Laubashi." Li Yang thanked him, and then said: "Since you are your own person, you can call me a son in the future, and you don't have to hang the phase in your mouth and appear distant."
Ba Shi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly made a move excitedly: "Yes, Childe."
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, letting Li Yang go first.
Li Yang was not polite, so he strode towards the world........
On the same day, hundreds of officials came to congratulate, and hundreds of people rode in the courtyard, which can be described as extremely beautiful.
It can't be helped, the emperor is so favored, there is no one who doesn't want to make friends.
This is also thanks to the help of the Ba family in preparation, otherwise Li Yang really doesn't know how to receive them.
What Li Yang didn't expect was that Li Si actually came, and seemed to show goodwill, and said that he would send his son to his account to listen to it.
Li Yang did not refuse, because the reform of the law, it is naturally a great thing to be able to get Li Si's support.
Moreover, for Li Yang, who came from later generations, he still admires Li Si in his heart.
Books with the same text, cars with the same track, unified weights and measures, these are all made by him.
Moreover, Li Si is also quite sad in history, after Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, Zhao Gao wrote that Prime Minister Li Si rebelled, and Li Si was sentenced to death after being arrested and interrogated. That is, tattooing words on the face, which is a kind of insult punishment in the Qin Dynasty), then chopping (that is, cutting the nose, which is also a kind of torture in Qin), cutting off the left and right toes (that is, cutting off the left and right feet), and then cutting off the waist (cutting off the waist), and finally the 醢 (Yinhai, that is, chopping into meat sauce), which was the most cruel way of execution at that time, called "Gu Wu Punishment", that is, with five kinds of punishment. Lees's family was also killed at the same time.
It is really sad that a generation of powerful ministers ended up with such a miserable end.
Therefore, in Li Yang's opinion, as long as Li Si does not oppose him, then he will always respect this famous minister.
In other words, although the emperor's Zhao book said that the mansion was opened on the same day, it took half a month for the prime minister's mansion to be opened, and this was renovated with Lü Buwei's old prime minister's mansion.
In the Qin period, the so-called Kaifu was not used for residence, but was an independent Kaifu office, and according to the system, there were several offices in the Prime Minister's Office, the number of which varied, depending on the need.
The effect of this is to significantly enhance the status and role of institutions and officials in the political system as a whole.
In terms of power relations, he was only controlled by the emperor, not by other bureaucrats, including other prime ministers.
In other words, this is to better carry out the legal reform, and at the same time, it fully reflects the relative independence and importance of the legal reform in the entire power system.
On the day of the opening of the mansion, Yingzheng personally invited Li Yang to ride six horses together, that is, the dragon chariot pulled by six white horses.
The dragon chariot and horse honor guard are mighty, the black flag and black armor forbidden army are majestic and open the road, and the people on both sides of the road are full of people who are watching the heat, and they rush straight to the prime minister's mansion, which is very magnificent.
On this day, all the people in Xianyang City stood on both sides of the road and watched, and at the same time, they were also looking forward to the upcoming Qin Law Reform. Because in the past ten days, everyone has heard the rumors that the newly appointed Chinese Prime Minister Li Yang wants to change to the rule of law with leniency, which can be described as a great thing that the people have been dreaming of.
Sitting in the dragon chariot, Ying Zheng asked: "Li Xiang, my Great Qin chaos depends on you, although you boldly change, boldly change, as long as I am here, you don't have to worry about anything."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Yang nodded in gratitude, pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Your Majesty, if the minister says that this world of Great Qin is also the world of all the people of Great Qin, what does Your Majesty think?"
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Why did Li Xiang ask this?"
Li Yang saluted and said solemnly: "I hope that Your Majesty will answer the ministers."
Ying Zheng glanced at Li Yang curiously, although he didn't know what Li Yang's intention was when he asked this, but seeing that Li Yang was so solemn, he had no choice but to reply seriously: "Although this Great Qin is my world, it can indeed be said to be the world of all the people in the world, which is also the reason why the widow let you change your law." If all the people in the world can really love the law, abide by the law, and protect the law, then Daqin will be able to worry about it for eternity. ”
After hearing this, Li Yang nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "If the law restricts Your Majesty's imperial power, may I ask Your Majesty, is it the imperial power first, or the law first?"
Ying Zheng frowned: "Your law wants to restrain the widow?"
Li Yang was not afraid, and said with a straight face: "In the future, this matter is inevitable!"
Ying Zheng stared at Li Yang for a few seconds, and then said: "As long as it is for the sake of the Great Qin Jiangshan, even if the widow is subject to some constraints, it is fine!" Li Xiang, what else do you have to worry about, just ask it once!"
'There is no more problem with the minister!' Li Yang really admired this Qin Shi Huang in his heart, and as he became close to this Shi Huang, he found that this person was completely different from the records in history.
The first emperor recorded in history is "a storm through the ages". Expropriation and expropriation, poverty and luxury, violence and indiscriminate killing, treating the people like ants.
However, for such a historical evaluation, Li Yang today does not think so.
On the contrary, he felt that Yingzheng was a generation of wise men with ideals and ambitions, and with all the people in the world in his heart.
Winning the politician is a tyrant who kills indiscriminately, how can he say that the world is the world of all the people? How could he say that as long as it is for the sake of the Great Qin River, even if he is constrained by the law, he will not hesitate to do it?
Moreover, since the reunification, he has abolished the division of feuds politically, implemented the county system, and realized a centralized government. Economically, the degree, measure, and balance are unified. In order to develop the national land transportation, the implementation of "car on the same track", the construction of gallop roads and straight roads; The excavation of the spiritual canal connecting the Xiangjiang River and the Lijiang River, and the unification of the written language in terms of culture, these measures are not only conducive to consolidating the unity of the Qin Dynasty, but also conducive to the economic and cultural exchanges and development of various places, and even have a far-reaching impact on later generations.
The first emperor who can do such a thing is not a king who only understands tyranny, but more like a king through the ages.
However, Li Yang was relieved when he thought about it, most of the reason why Yingzheng was blackened by history was due to the short life of the Qin State.
The Qin State was destroyed after more than ten years of unification, and before it even had time to write its history, the world changed its surname to Liu, and the new owner wanted to blacken Qin Shi Huang in order to justify his name.
After 800 years of black depictions in the Han Dynasty, people in later generations can still know that the first emperor has done some immortal feats, which is enough to show that the first emperor's exploits are so great that it is difficult to erase them all even if they are blackened.
Thinking of this, Li Yang took a deep look at the Qin Shi Huang in front of him, and under his majestic and confident temperament, it was difficult to hide the fatigue of working for the country.
"Why does Li Xiang look at the widow like this?" Ying Zheng felt Li Yang's strange eyes and couldn't help asking.
Li Yang was stunned for a moment, and then took a deep look: "The minister was moved by what His Majesty said just now. Everyone in the world says that Your Majesty likes tyranny and is a tyrant, but in fact, the world does not understand Your Majesty, and in the eyes of the ministers, Your Majesty is a wise monarch who is difficult to come out of for a thousand years!"
Ying Zheng was very pleased, Li Yang's words really went to the bottom of his heart, his eyes were red, and he said with emotion: "In this world, there are people who understand widows, and Li Xiang is enough!"
Li Yang could feel that Ying Zheng was revealing his true feelings, and his heart was also warm, and he said with a firm face: "From today onwards, the minister will make every effort to complete the reform of Qin Law!" On another day, the world will be as His Majesty wishes!"
"Good! The widow will wait and see, waiting for you to fulfill today's promise as soon as possible! Hahaha
……
Ying Zheng laughed and patted Li Yang's shoulder with satisfaction, he really had high hopes for Li Yang.
"Minister, I will live up to Your Majesty's trust!"
Li Yang saluted again.
"Well, the widow believes in you."
Ying Zheng smiled, and then seemed to remember something, and said: "Also, Zuo Prime Minister Li Si came to recommend to the widow a few days ago, and wanted to transfer his son Li You to your account, do you think you need this person?"
When Li Yang heard this, he immediately nodded: "Yes, of course you have to use it."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Then transfer him to serve as the central protector, take charge of Yulin, and be responsible for enforcing the law and expanding the law."
Li Yang nodded, feeling that Ying Zheng's arrangement was also very appropriate.
The Central Protector Army is the official name of the senior military governor, among which the positions of the Central Protector, the Central Leader, the Central Supervision Army, the Central Protector Army, and other positions are in charge of the Forbidden Army and the Yulin Army, presiding over the selection of military attachés and supervising and controlling the generals, so it is very important.
