Chapter 220: Sharpening the knife Huo Huo to Chang Yu
At this time, Ying Zheng's eyes sitting on the thousand-year-old black jade were like torches, his expression was indifferent, not angry and arrogant, and he sat there like a piece of unshakable ice for ten thousand years.
I saw that his eyebrows were cold, his eyes were like those of an eagle falcon, the bridge of his nose was straight, his lips were closed, and he slowly looked down.
"Where is Captain Ting?"
Ying Zheng's opening attracted the side eyes of the ministers, because it meant that Ying Zheng was ready to end.
Although this is Zhang Ji fighting with the courtiers of the Xiangbang faction and the Empress Dowager faction, everyone knows that this is actually Yingzheng, the king of Qin, who is engaged in a tug-of-war of power with various factions.
And in this tug-of-war, Ying Zheng is not only a player, but also a referee from a certain point of view.
Therefore, in this tug-of-war of power, Yingzheng has a natural advantage that others do not have.
A middle-aged man with a slightly wide body slowly got up, walked to the middle of the court's ministers, leaned over and said, "The ministers are here!" ”
"Dispose of it in accordance with the law."
In just four words, it deprived Ling Qi of the lives of more than 100 people of the Ling clan.
However, no one interceded for Lingqi.
In the court, if someone is making a mistake, as long as they are not political enemies, most of the ministers will come down to intercede for the wrongdoer.
In the army, once someone is questioned, unless it is really a crime that cannot be punished, the generals will often intercede for it.
After all, who can guarantee that they will not make mistakes for the rest of their lives?
If you make a mistake one day, will you also end up with a tragic end where no one pleads for you?
It's just that today's situation is different after all, and no one is willing to stand up and intercede for Ling Qi.
But there is nothing to do, Zhang Ji's hat is too big, the crime of ethnic punishment, how many people in the history of Qin have been sentenced to the crime of ethnic punishment?
What's more, this is a criticism of the Qin Law.
The Qin Law is the foundation of the Great Qin State, and it must not be criticized.
Of course, there is not only this reason, but also because Ling Qi is Chang Yu's confidant.
Although Chang Yu is a courtier of the Queen Mother's family, there are very few people in the court who have a good sense of Chang Yu.
Except for the men under Chang Yu's command, the rest of the ministers were disdainful of Chang Yu, who was born in the market.
It's not all because of Chang Yu's humble background, but because of Chang Yu's arrogance.
was just a tool supported by Zhao Ji to balance Lü Buwei, and he was awarded the title of Marquis of Changxin, and he got the position of marquis that they had worked hard all their lives and never obtained, and at the same time, he was also awarded 100,000 fiefdoms.
You must know that since the founding of Great Qin, there have only been a number of people who have been feuded as marquises.
The first marquis of Great Qin was Shang Jun Wei Ying.
Although Wei Ying is often called "Shang Jun", his title is actually the highest "liege" of the "twentieth rank system"
With the martial arts of Shang Jun, the law of the country, the folk customs, the strong Qin State, the capture of Hexi, and the feudal marquis are not dissatisfied.
The second is the "Marquis" Wei Ran, whose fiefs are in "Sui" and "Taoyi", and at the same time, as a relative and an important minister of the Chu family, he has been constantly conquering and sealing the marquis with his military exploits, which is beyond reproach.
The third is the "Ying Hou" Fan Ju, originally a Wei person, who proposed the famous "long-distance friendship and close attack" strategy for the Qin State, which pointed out the way for the Qin State to unify the world, and it is reasonable to be a feudal marquis.
And the fourth person to be a marquis is the current Great Qin Xiangbang, Wenxin Marquis Lü Buwei.
Lü Buwei's exploits do not need to be described one by one, and the ministers are convinced.
But what is it?
It's just reckless in the market, and he has no size, so he can be a marquis?
Moreover, in the fiefdom of 100,000 households, even Shang Ying, Wei Ran and Fan Ju have never been treated like this, why should he be married?
The idea of judging titles by merit gradually changed the thinking of every Qin courtier with the deepening of the Qin law, so the various factions in the court were actually a little dissatisfied with Zhao Ji's behavior of sealing Chang Yu so much, so that no one pleaded for Ling Qi as Chang Yu's confidant.
In addition to these reasons, there is also the most important point because of the current situation.
Even if it does not work out today, in two years at the latest, Ying Zheng will also be pro-government.
If Ying Zheng was still the childish who did not have half of the power in his hands, they might hesitate for a while, but with the support of the military, Ying Zheng could use violent means to forcibly pro-government, and as the king of Qin, he was pro-government, which was justified and the general trend had been decided.
What will happen to those who oppose it today in the future?
Now that Yingzheng has asked Tingwei to dispose of Ling Qi in accordance with the law, isn't the hidden meaning behind it just to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys?
This is a warning to those courtiers who have not yet spoken.
Of course, this warning is mainly aimed at the courtiers of the Xiangbang faction and the Empress Dowager headed by Chang Yu, and for the courtiers of other factions, such as the Lao Qin faction, the Chu faction and other factions, they don't care at all, and they will even cheer for it.
Now that most of the power of the Qin State is distributed to Lü Buwei and Chang Yu, this inevitably makes the courtiers of the other factions blush.
And winning the government and pro-government, it means the development of a new political pattern, and it also means a new distribution of power, and new opportunities!
How can this not make people's hearts flutter and cheer?
"Ministers, obey the king's orders!"
A look of excitement flashed in Ting Wei's eyes.
Chang Yu and his henchmen are doing mischief in Xianyang City every day, and Kui has long been willing to deal with it, but after all, he is no longer the hot-blooded young man, and he does not dare to gamble on his and his family's net worth to fight with the Queen Mother, so he can only endure it again and again.
It's just that Kui is worried about another thing.
The person in charge of the palace guards now is another of Chang Yu's henchmen, will he and Chang Yu behind him watch Zhong Dafu Ling Qi be taken down like this?
While everyone was waiting for Chang Yu and Wei Wei to react, Ling Qi suddenly shouted: "Wait! ”
"The premise is that the new system is appropriate, if the queen mother is respected as the queen mother and opposed as the biological mother, can such a system still be considered appropriate?"
Doctor Ling Qi is not a mediocre talent after all, as a person who is not an old friend of Chang Yu, but he can get the support of Chang Yu, who hates scholars, as a scholar, and naturally has some brains and means.
In the face of the crisis of the clan, there is still a bit of urgency in the urgency.
When Ling Qi mentioned the Queen Mother, everyone's eyes once again turned to the most noble woman in Daqin who was sitting next to Ying Zheng.
Although the Qin State did not vigorously promote "filial piety", it is definitely a country that advocates filial piety, and many of the laws of the Qin law are closely related to the children's support of their parents, so Zhao Ji's words can greatly affect the pro-government of today's Yingzheng.
Even if there is that Zongzheng Ling who endorses Yingzheng and is reluctant to be in power, it will inevitably be true in the end, and there is a hint of unjustification.
It's just that no one noticed......
Chang Yu looked at Ling Qi's gaze, full of anger.
