Chapter 626

"And besides, and besides, and besides, ······"

"Woo woo woo woo ~~~~~~"

A train departs from the Luoyang City Railway Station in the early morning, full of passengers and goods heading east.

Although Great Qin sent 200,000 troops to the Western Regions and Shu, this did not affect Great Qin's agricultural and commercial development.

Industry is constantly developing and progressing to feed agriculture and commerce.

The prosperity of Daqin today is unprecedented.

The people have surplus food in every household, every family has surplus money, everyone has work to do, and there are books to read, which is simply the prosperous age in the book.

However, under the prosperous times, there were also many disputes in the court.

In the court, there was a power struggle between the nouveau riche group that relied on the imperial examination as officials, and the old ministers and nobles in the court.

This contention is obvious, and the First Emperor is not invisible.

But as long as this kind of battle is within a certain range, it is a good thing for the First Emperor.

However, the news from the Western Regions has recently caused a huge storm in the court.

Siege ladders and battering rams are all confidential weapons in the Great Qin army, but they appeared in the hands of the Tubo people.

Chen Bin personally led the troops, led people to rush into the Tibetan embassy, and directly took all the Tibetan people except the envoy.

The Tibetan envoy shouted for a long time, but no one understood.

The soldiers spot-checked the entire embassy, not even sparing a gap.

"General! Got it! ”

A soldier took out a box from under the bed of the Tibetan envoy, which contained a stack of drawings.

Chen Bin took it out and looked at it, it was the blueprint of the siege ladder and the battering ram.

Chen Bin put away the drawings and coldly ordered: "Take the prisoner back for trial!" ”

The Tibetan envoy was covered

The news of the arrest spread quickly, and some officials rushed to the ground after learning the news.

The drawings of the Great Qin siege equipment, under normal circumstances, were in the hands of the Ministry of Engineering and the Ministry of War.

Due to the continuous emergence of new weapons, the level of secrecy of such equipment as siege ladders and battering rams has been reduced accordingly.

Therefore, the scope of investigation of this matter is much larger.

Many people were waiting for the First Emperor to send someone to investigate, but after waiting for two days, there was no movement in the palace.

I know the morning pilgrimage.

The hundred officials sat below, and they all noticed that something was wrong, and the atmosphere of today's court meeting was very dull.

The First Emperor sat on the throne and looked at the hundred officials below with a gloomy face.

"Meng Yi."

The First Emperor suddenly called Meng Yi.

"No!"

Meng Yi stood up, bowed his hand, and said to the hundred officials: "After investigation, the Tubo people have stolen my Great Qin secrets, and now according to the laws of Great Qin, the Tubo envoy will be torn apart!" ”

After Meng Yi finished speaking, he saluted the First Emperor again, and then sat back.

The First Emperor just asked Meng Yi to stand up and read out the disposition of the Tibetan envoy, and then continued to look at the hundred officials with a calm face.

Baiguan lowered his head, and several people had already left cold sweat, and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Smack!"

The First Emperor slapped the armrest of the throne, and the officials trembled in fright.

"No matter how you fight, as long as you don't hurt the safety of my Great Qin and don't harm my Great Qin's people, I can tolerate it!"

"But someone actually used my Great Qin's secrets as a bargaining chip to fight! This is something I will never promise! ”

"This time, everyone involved in this matter will resign and return to their hometowns within three days, and I can

Not pursued. ”

Hearing the words of the First Emperor, all the officials got up together and arched their hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." ”

The First Emperor stood up and said to Meng Tian and Mo Ling: "Thoroughly investigate the Ministry of Engineering and the Ministry of War!" If this happens again, Hugh blames me for being ruthless! ”

"No!"

This matter is mainly aimed at the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War.

In fact, everyone already knows that it is the ghost of the new cutting-edge faction, because among the two parts, the new talent faction has the least power.

And the old faction of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War will not do such a thing, because once it is investigated, the high-level leaders of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War will definitely suffer the wrath of the First Emperor first.

When the time comes, as soon as something happens to the high-level leaders of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, the cutting-edge faction will be able to immediately take up the position.

Therefore, it seems that the old faction may have poured dirty water on itself and framed the new faction, but people who know the old faction can see at a glance that the old faction disdains this.

Every dynasty is inseparable from the struggle between the hundreds of officials in the court.

Sometimes, the struggle between officials is beneficial to the development of the country, but sometimes it can be the beginning of the decline of the country.

The First Emperor also took this opportunity to warn the officials and to alert himself.

In fact, when he first got the results, the First Emperor was very angry, and even wanted to carry out a major purge of the new faction.

But after talking to Li Si all night, the First Emperor planned to give the new faction a chance.

In the future, Daqin will still need these cutting-edge factions, and they can't kill the young people of Daqin.

Within a day, many officials resigned and returned to their hometowns, but they were all petty officials.

However, it is unlikely that only a few petty officials will be involved in this matter, it will be

However, there were some high-ranking officials involved.

The next day, another resignation was made.

It wasn't until the third day, when a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs completely calmed down.

In the palace, the First Emperor called Meng Yi over.

Similar to history, the First Emperor trusted Meng Yi very much.

Nowadays, most of the time, the First Emperor prefers to talk to Meng Yi rather than his original confidant Li Si.

"Your Majesty, now in the court, the new officials are extremely ambitious, I'm afraid they have to be suppressed." Meng Yi arched his hand and said.

The First Emperor was feeding the fish by the fish pond with a small teapot in his hand.

The First Emperor took a sip of tea and said, "The new officials are the future of my Great Qin, and they can't be suppressed too much, this time it can be regarded as a lesson for them." ”

"Your Majesty is thoughtful, and the minister is far from being in a hurry." Meng Yi immediately offered a little sycophant.

The First Emperor smiled: "Meng Yi, didn't they also classify you into the New Frontier Sect?" You don't speak for the new talents? ”

"Your Majesty laughed, the minister does not belong to any faction, the minister only belongs to Daqin, belongs to Your Majesty!" Meng Yi arched his hand.

"Hahaha! Your kid is getting more and more dishonest, and he's becoming more and more like that Lis. The First Emperor laughed.

Meng Yi said with a smile: "The prime minister's talent can't be reached by the minister, and the minister still knows what to do." ”

"Speaking of prime minister, Meng Yi, can you tell me who else in the DPRK can act as prime minister?" The First Emperor asked.

Meng Yi frowned, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, at present, the only person who can act as the prime minister in the DPRK is probably Lord Xiao He." ”

"Xiao He, he is indeed a talent, and he is also the most suitable person to be my Prime Minister of Great Qin, and Li Si is exactly this

meaning. The First Emperor scattered the handful of fish food in his hand, then turned around and left directly.
