Following.

The sky was just dawning.

Ying Zheng appeared in Xianyang Palace.

And at the same time, there was also Zong Zheng Yingteng in the hall.

Yingteng's face looked even older.

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Teng, who was a little vain, sighed, and said, "Zongzheng, you have been tired during this time. ”

Ying Teng arched his hand and said: "The minister is a minister of Great Qin, and he should fulfill his duties. ”

"It's just that the body is really a little weak."

Ying Zheng bowed slightly, did not say much, and said directly: "How is the situation in Fusu recently?" ”

Yingteng pondered for a moment, his face showed a different color, and said in a deep voice: "The eldest son has been tossing and turning recently, and it is difficult to sleep, I am afraid that he feels the pressure of dealing with the affairs of the world. ”

"However, the eldest son has indeed made great progress."

"If you follow the temperament of the eldest son in the past, I am afraid that I will be moved by Du He and others earlier, and I will change my course, and now the eldest son's heart is as strong as a stubborn stone, but I am afraid that Mount Tai will be difficult to move."

Ying Zheng snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "After all, this matter is caused by himself, there is no trivial matter in the court, if everyone tells his heart like this, the governance of the court will not be so difficult." ”

Ying Teng smiled bitterly, but he didn't dare to refute.

"Tell me, what Fusu is going to do." Ying Zheng continued.

Ying Teng arched his hand and said, "Back to Your Majesty." ”

"The eldest prince is a man of wisdom, not because of a momentary event, let alone because of the so-called disagreement to change his mind, after more obstruction for the officials of the Imperial Governor's Mansion and the Shaofu Mansion, he resolutely did not accept the relevant officials, but chose to appoint the new officials who were promoted a few months ago."

"Who are the new officials?" Ying Zhengdao.

Ying Teng said: "The current court lieutenant is Shi Lu, the copper official Sima Chang under the rule of Shaofu, and ."

Inteng told the information she knew.

Hear the words.

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

He said: "This elm pimple, I finally know how to be flexible, but it's good to let him run into a wall, otherwise it really makes him think that it is so easy to govern the world, really just review a few notes, appoint a few officials, and you can deal with the affairs of the world?" ”

Ying Teng chuckled lightly and didn't say anything more.

Fusu has grown rapidly during this time.

Although His Majesty has verbally reprimanded a lot now, he is still a little more relieved than before.

Ruofu Su really didn't grow.

His Majesty will never completely hand over the affairs of Huaixian to the eldest son.

Not to mention that the eldest son will personally feel the difficulty of governing the government, the complexity of the situation, and the likes and dislikes of political opinions.

All this was not done on the part of His Majesty.

In order to let the eldest son have a deeper understanding of governing the world.

No longer as in the past, just do things step by step, don't have to think about other things, now Fusu is gradually growing, has been able to take charge of itself, and has to start to take on the corresponding responsibilities.

This is Fusu's responsibility as the eldest son.

It's what His Majesty has always wanted to see.

If without His Majesty's help, the eldest son can handle this matter thoroughly, it is enough to prove that the changes in the past of the eldest son are not a whim, but have really made real progress.

This is the blessing of Great Qin.

Blessings to the world.

Ying Teng lowered his head, hesitated, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to ask for, please allow Your Majesty." ”

"Speak." Ying Zhengdao.

Ying Teng took a deep breath, his arm trembled slightly, and said: "The minister is old and weak, the consul is weak, and the knowledge is late, I am afraid that I can no longer synchronize with Your Majesty, and I ask Your Majesty to remove the post of Minister Zongzheng." ”

The voice fell.

The hall was instantly silent.

Expressing the thoughts in his heart, Yingteng was like a big stone falling to the ground, and his eyes became a lot more resolute.

What he says is true.

On the years.

He was nearly seventy years old.

After years of managing the clan, day and night, his spirit and physique are not as good as before, and when it comes to political opinions, he knows that he has long been unable to keep up with His Majesty's footsteps.

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, and said frankly: "Lao Zongzheng has been in charge of the government for more than 30 years, and since King Xiaowen began to enter the Zongzheng Mansion, it has been nearly forty years now. ”

"I have always respected Zongzheng."

"However, Zongzheng's physique is indeed a little difficult."

"I don't really want Zongzheng to resign, but I can't bear it."

Ying Zheng sighed.

He looked down, and only the two of them were facing each other from afar.

Ying Teng was already a frost and snow, his expression was very haggard, his face was vertical and horizontal, purple and black old age spots faintly appeared, and his thin body was carrying an empty official robe, which was unbearable to see.

Yingteng is very old.

Ying Teng didn't speak, his eyes were already moist.

He arched his hand and said: "The minister has come step by step over the years, and it is inevitable that the old minister will be ashamed of the clan, the country, and His Majesty. ”

"Why did Zong Zheng say this?"

Ying Teng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers of the Great Qin Sect should have let the clan help Your Majesty, but the clan has been stuck in the palace for many years, spending a lot of financial and material resources, but it has no merit for Great Qin. ”

"The minister is really ashamed to be the Great Qin Zongzheng."

Hear the words.

Ying Zheng's eyes closed slightly: "What does Zong Zheng mean by this?" ”

Ying Teng trembled and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has the courage to say a few words today, the minister thinks that His Majesty's approach to the clan is inappropriate, since the founding of the country, the children of the clan have always helped the court, and there are clear rewards and punishments, but after Your Majesty succeeded to the throne, due to some circumstances, the current clan has long been like an empty frame. ”

"It won't do Great Qin any good."

"There are a lot of disciples of the Great Qin Sect, and among them, there are no less than 100 disciples of the Sect who have read the laws and regulations, and such a huge number of them are all within the high walls, isn't this a waste in vain?"

"The minister is the upright."

"It stands to reason that there should be a way out for them."

"However, the ministers were frightened, tended to protect themselves, delayed state affairs, and the clan was deserted, and the ministers really had no face, and they had no face to see the ancestors of the Great Qin, and they had no shame to face the children of the clan who were full of hope."

"The minister is ashamed of the clan!"

Yingteng has fallen to his knees, old tears are in his eyes.

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Teng coldly, and was speechless for a long time, and finally said coldly: "Zongzheng is going to be an official, who should be Zongzheng?" ”

"The ministers think it's the child." Yingteng did not hesitate, obviously it had already succeeded.

"Child!" Ying Zheng's face was completely gloomy.

Ying Teng said: "Ziying is nearly thirty years old, although he is the son of Chang'anjun, but he has always grown up in Xianyang in the past, not like Chang'anjun, and is full of gratitude to His Majesty, please give Ziying a chance." ”

Yingteng lowered his head and didn't dare to look up at all.

He knows.

This is a bold statement.

The child is the son of a mature toad.

Cheng Chan is the brother of the first emperor, the first emperor did not think about doing something to Cheng Chan, but Cheng Chan led the troops outside, but gradually gave birth to a rebellious heart, and teamed up with the Empress Dowager Huayang and others, intending to usurp power and seize the throne.

That's why.

After that, the first emperor completely broke off the idea of enlisting in the army.

It also firmly grasps the power of the military.

However, this is not a long-term solution.

There are a lot of disciples of the Great Qin clan, and the Great Qin has never raised useless people, but now the Great Qin clan has become useless people, isn't this a good thing for Great Qin?

It is also contrary to the teachings of the ancestors.

He was getting old, and he had the intention of retreating.

I dare not turn a blind eye anymore.

"Do you think I'm doing something wrong?" Ying Zheng said coldly.

Yingteng's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister just thinks that some of His Majesty's actions are a little too harsh." ”

"The children of the clan cannot be included in the clan if they have no military merits."

"If the name is not right, the word is not good."

"Now that the children of the clan in the palace are getting older, and they are becoming more and more anxious about the future, the minister thinks that His Majesty should consider it as appropriate."

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Teng, and finally shook his head, and said coldly: "Reason." ”

Ying Teng's face showed a look of embarrassment, and finally chose to be honest, and arched his hand: "The minister recently heard that several high-ranking princes went to see Ji Heng, and they didn't ask for much, they just wanted to get the title in order to keep their clan membership. ”

"So you're going to use your resignation to force the palace against me?" Ying Zheng looked at it coldly.

Ying Teng's face changed sharply, and he hurriedly denied it: "The minister has no such intention, the minister is indeed unable to support state affairs due to physical reasons, and he has no such intention, please Your Majesty is clear." ”

Ying Zheng looked Ying Teng up and down and asked, "How did he tell the senior people?" ”

Ying Teng said: "Back to Your Majesty." ”

"Ji Heng just asked Zhu Gongzi to compile some books on literacy and hyphenation to popularize education in the future and fulfill the unfulfilled rewards when he destroyed the Six Kingdoms."

"He also said that the work of education will benefit the future."

Ying Zheng sneered and said indifferently: "He really knows how to make up his mind." ”

"Let my son make a book for him."

"What kind of education did my son-in-law receive?"

"Wouldn't letting them make up books means letting them pass on what they have learned?"

"My son can't take his turn to point fingers!"

"Your Majesty is angry." Yingteng trembled and knelt on the ground, and the whole person was terrified to the extreme.

Ying Zheng glanced at Ying Teng coldly, and said indifferently: "I will consider the matter of the clan that Zong Zheng said, and at the same time, I agreed to the matter of Zong Zheng's resignation." ”

Ying Teng was about to open his mouth to thank him.

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said loudly: "Come on, record my edict." ”

A eunuch walked in quickly, sat down next to the bookcase, and lifted a large pen.

Ying Zheng said solemnly: "The edict is to Shizong Zheng to win Teng, leave the dynasty as a marquis, the Xianyang Mansion is still retained, the food is sealed for thousands of households, and the Inner History County is enshrined in accordance with the law every year." ”

"The old minister obeys the order, thank your majesty." Win Teng's old tears and bow to the ground to thank you.

Ying Zheng looked at Ying Teng with deep eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Zongzheng, I have remembered your suggestion." ”

"After leaving the court, take care of your body, there are few old ministers around me."

Yingteng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said loudly:

"Please take care of your health, Your Majesty."

"The old minister retired."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and no longer paid attention to Ying Teng.

When Ying Teng was completely far away, Ying Zheng raised his head, and a faint sadness appeared in his heart.

There are fewer and fewer old people around him.

Ying Zheng raised his eyes to look outside the hall, but soon buried his head in looking at the music, he didn't want to bring up too much of the past, just shook his head secretly, and didn't care too much about it.
