Ying Zheng looked down and asked, "Why do you think?" ”

The temple was silent.

Zhaoping looked at Du He, who was black-faced, but he didn't dare to object.

Fusu said it too harshly.

not only moved out the "Book of Shang Jun", but also the "Way of the Officials" that the original emperor vigorously promoted, and the remarks of the last master Xunzi at the end of the troubled times, and then supported his view of severely punishing this matter.

They were against it, but they didn't know how to defend it.

If you continue to speak, you will easily be charged with the title of a 'good citizen', and if Your Majesty thinks that you are working together to cover up your mistakes, and that you are an evil official who likes to tell right and wrong, it will be very detrimental to yourself in the court in the future.

It's just that if Fusu's idea is implemented, it will hit them too hard.

Since Li Si, most of the Tingwei Mansion has been reduced to the self-retention of meritorious heroes, because the Tingwei Mansion is in charge of legal orders, which is generally not prone to problems, and it is easy to be promoted after staying in it for a few years, so many officials like to arrange their 'Lang Guan' children into the Tingwei Mansion.

And there are many new officials eyeing it.

What's more.

If they were allowed to do whatever they wanted, they would probably have a lower and lower prestige in the court, and they might even be coveted by other officials, which would be bad news for them at that time.

It's just that I can't open my mouth right now.

This made Du He, Zhaoping and others anxious enough.

Ying Zheng looked down indifferently, and finally looked at Fusu and asked: "Fusu, you know the most about this matter, tell me how to punish the officials of the Tingwei Mansion and related official offices." ”

Fu Su said: "Qi Yu father, the son thinks that he should be punished heavily." ”

"Lieutenant Meng Yi is leaving."

"The rest of the officials of the Imperial Governor's Mansion, except for those who have just taken office, will all be demoted, and the iron officials and salt officials under the rule of the Shaofu will be directly dismissed, they have indeed not been in office for a long time, but such a bad thing happened in Guanzhong, they must give the world a price."

"Removal from office is therefore necessary."

"Otherwise, it is not enough to be angry with the people, and it is not enough to establish the power of the law."

"There is a clear stipulation in the "Law of Effectiveness": Lieutenants and lieutenants are impeached, and their orders and subordinates sit as if they were officials."

"The ministers know that there are many injustices to the officials of the Imperial Governor's Mansion, but the Imperial Governor's Mansion has important positions, does not think about the changes of the times, does not think about the people's peace and contentment, only remembers the laws and regulations of the old times, and does not choose to keep pace with the times, so how can the official office take on the heavy responsibilities of the world? How can you be convinced of the world? ”

"If the law is not established, the people will not believe it."

"If the people don't believe, the country is in danger!"

"Erchen is the eldest son of Great Qin, how dare he not be neglected?"

"When Han Feizi was studying at Xunzi, he once told such a story."

"The person who shakes the leaves, if he shakes the leaves one by one, he will not be able to finish it when he is tired, but if he hits the trunk directly, the leaves of the whole tree will shake, and the person who opens the net to catch fish, if he plays with the mesh one by one, he also does not know how long he will be busy, but if he pulls the main rope of the fishing net, the fish will be caught in the net at once."

"It's the same thing."

"Thousands of leaves and meshes are like all the people in the world, and the trunk and rope are equivalent to officials, and if the officials are managed, the people will naturally be managed."

"Therefore, Han Feizi advocates that 'the Ming ruler governs the officials but does not govern the people'."

"And this is the Qin State's historical idea of governing the government, the current Huaixian matter, the loss of hundreds of people, involving millions of people in Guanzhong, this is all due to the negligence and slackness of the officials, if they are not severely punished, just something to solve the matter, isn't it just like shaking the leaves and playing with the mesh?"

"Tinkering won't solve the problem."

"Only by thorough rectification can we prevent future troubles, and it is with these in mind that the sons and daughters wrote to severely punish the relevant officials."

Fusu paused, looked at the hundred officials below, and said with a cold face: "If an official says that Fusu is a waste of food due to choking, Fusu thinks that it may not be a bad thing to waste food because of choking, at least it can really curb this unhealthy trend, so that the court can regain its clarity, in order to return to Xunzi's mouth 'the ancient people, the ancient officials, the ancient scholars, and the ancient dynasty'!" ”

"Father, please enlighten me."

The officials were silent.

Li Si, who was in front of Baiguan, turned his head, he did not look at Fusu, but at Zhang Cang not far away.

Zhang Cang lowered his head under his eyes, his face was very empty, he didn't dare to look at him at all, if he could, he even wanted to bury his head directly in the soil.

That's right.

This is what he told Fusu again.

Others may not know the reason, but Li Si knows, because when Han Feizi stammered and told this story, Li Si was also on the side, and Xunzi praised Han Feizi a few words because of this, saying that it was the first time someone had elaborated this statement so vividly, and praised Han Feizi with satisfaction for his unlimited future future.

even thought that Han Feizi would definitely be high if he entered Qin.

It's just that before Han Feizi, Li Si went to Qin State in advance, and Han Feizi did not go to Qin State as Xunzi said, but was imprisoned and died.

He even wanted to slap himself twice.

At the beginning, Fusu asked himself for advice on "Shangjunshu" and "Han Feizi", and he said a little more pretentiously, but Fusu did not forget these gossips, but really remembered them in his heart, and now he said it directly in front of hundreds of officials in the court.

This made Zhang Cang feel deeply ashamed.

Li Si glanced at Zhang Cang a few times before retracting his gaze.

He didn't have much of an opinion on that.

In the past, Fusu was good at talking and messing with the law, far away from the way of the Great Qin's new policy, so many courtiers were worried, and now Fusu reaffirmed the rule of law and proposed to strictly enforce the law and discipline, which is not a good thing, but the eldest son is a little too rigid.

Strict laws are probably not what many officials want to see.

Li Si glanced at Du He, Zhaoping and others a few times.

And this time, the problem is not to punish the Imperial Governor's Mansion.

And in the struggle for power!

The battle between the honorable and the newly promoted officials.

A few months ago, the first emperor took advantage of Xu Fu's incident to rectify the imperial court and promoted many officials, but at that time, most of them were officials from the clan and officials from Qindi, so they didn't care about the heroes who made contributions to the founding of the country

The functions of the Tingwei Mansion were actually weakened after the founding of the Great Qin.

But authority is still heavy.

This sign has been present since the Shang Dynasty changed the law.

And when he was in charge of the Imperial Governor's Mansion, the rank of the Imperial Commander's Mansion was the first of all the ministers under the prime minister and the general.

Moreover, the Tingwei Mansion used to be the axis of the actual operation of the Qin Law, and the place where the authority of the Qin Law was condensed, only in this way, in the court, in the opposition, and even in the whole world, the Tingwei Mansion was the standard for the Qin State, just like the commander's banner marked with the surname on the battlefield.

Without the Qin law, the Qin State would not be the Qin State.

Without the Tingwei Mansion, the Qin Law would not be the Qin Law.

At that time, the functions and powers of the Imperial Governor's Office could be described as huge, and there were roughly four functions in combination with actual functions and extended functions.

First, enforce the law.

Second, the legal religion, which has jurisdiction over third-level judges, proclaims the law for the subjects of the government and the opposition.

Third, the planning of amending the law and enacting the system, the need to revise the law, or the implementation of a new law in the expanded territory, must be planned in advance by the Imperial Governor's Office.

Fourth, he led the six law enforcement departments (Tingwei Mansion, Sikou Mansion, Constitutional Theft Administration, National Prison, Imperial History Administration, and Criminal Prisoner Office), and discussed the national policies and strategies related to the legal system and the law.

Authority is not insignificant.

At that time, everything in the Qin State had a French style, and the planning of political affairs and the national economy and people's livelihood were all related to the law.

All commercial and municipal taxes, checkpoint checks, farmland taxes, river and canal irrigation, engineering conscription, rewards and punishments, military merit checks, and so on, all of which are decided by the Tingwei Mansion.

It was precisely because the authority of the Tingwei Mansion was too heavy in the past that at the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin, the various functions of the Tingwei were split.

The imperial history opened the mansion and took the function of supervising hundreds of officials.

The Tingwei Mansion was directly placed under the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there was no longer the possibility of governing alone, and the law enforcement agencies under the Tingwei Mansion, the Left Prison, the Right Prison, and the Prison Authority, focused on the Imperial Shi Dafu's Mansion, and directly became the dual leadership of the Three Princes.

The power has been greatly weakened.

Even so, the power of the Tingwei Mansion is still in the forefront of Jiuqing.

And because of the decrease in ministry, it has become a place for many children of meritorious men to settle after the expiration of the official term.

Fusu's current move to the Tingwei Mansion is tantamount to giving eye medicine to the heroes.

Especially when I think of the transfer of court officials some time ago, many officials are hanging in the air, lest the official positions they have already identified will eventually be stolen for the newly promoted officials, so they have been vigorously opposing the expansion, complication, and sharpening of things.

Efforts were made to keep the scope of the situation to a minimum.

It's just that Fusu obviously doesn't want to stop there, but wants to stab it to the end.

Li Si's eyes closed slightly.

He wasn't in a hurry to speak.

Rather, it is to think about the intentions and thoughts of the first emperor.

He has been in the court for so long, and he can see that Fusu has not understood the stakes at all, and his words and deeds have always fallen on the Huaixian incident, as if he had not thought about the impact of this matter on the court and the courtiers.

However, the first emperor handed over the matter to Fusu, not to borrow the hand of Fusu and take the opportunity to weaken the power of the heroes.

Fusu was just a sword of the First Emperor.

When Li Si was pondering, the same Sangong was weak, and his expression was relatively calm.

He swept his back lightly, not opening his mouth.

The Imperial History Mansion is a monitoring system, and it is for His Majesty to supervise hundreds of officials and counties in the world, this time the matter is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it has little to do with his Imperial History Mansion, but he participated in the final conviction, and the rest of the time basically has nothing to do with them, and he will not be easily involved.

That's it.

His gaze swept at Zhang Cang with a slightly cold gaze.

Only to quickly retract his gaze.

Hearing Fusu's loud words, Du He and the others turned pale.

And they were exceedingly angry in their hearts.

Ying Zheng didn't rush to speak, and looked down with interest, letting the hall be as quiet as a valley.

Long.

Du He came out and said: "The minister does not dare to agree with the words of the eldest son. ”

"Maintaining the law is the best reason in the world."

"It is true that the iron officials and salt officials under the Shaofu do not notice, but the supervision function is not the function of the iron and salt officials, how can they deal with officials so hastily because of the sentence 'explain to the people of the world'? Such a trumped-up charge is chilling. ”

"Again."

"Monarchs and ministers rule together, only abide by the law and treat them with sincerity."

"And the eldest son's argument is confusing!"

"His arguments are rhetorical, pretending to be non-fraudulent, in order to benefit the country, but in fact, the benefits are small and the harm is great."

"It's also leading the country into the quagmire."

"It is good to listen to people's superficial talk but not the right to the facts, so although the sin of the courtiers, can not make the country strong, this is like drinking to quench thirst, it seems to be in the great interest of the country, but in fact it is very harmful, the future trouble is great, I am afraid that there is no remedy, if it works, all the officials and officials, persecuted for no reason, does not make the big and small officials chill? In such an environment, how can we serve the country wholeheartedly? ”

"Although the world is determined at the moment, but the remnants of the six countries are still peeping in all directions, if you anger the officials because of this, you will abandon the hearts of the people, at this time, the entire official office of the Tingwei Mansion and the rest of the official offices will be punished, is the eldest son not afraid of betraying the name of the virtuous and misleading the country?"

Duch said it very seriously.

He was in charge of the Shaofu and was one of the Nine Emperors.

Can't leave it alone.

Fusu's words in front of him were already merciless, how could he retreat because of this?

Fusu's brows furrowed slightly.

He already knew that he had befriended Duch.

But he had to.

Fusu arched his hand and said: "Fusu is not talented, and currently only likes to read Legalist books such as "Shangjunshu", "Shangjunshu Forbidden Envoy" clearly says: Although the officials are many, they are the same. The husband and the same body are incompatible. And those who benefit differently and harm differently, the first king is also protective. ”

"You know better than I do what this means."

"Although there are many officials, they have the same interests, so it is impossible to supervise each other, and the difference of interests is the basis for the first kings to practice joint sitting."

"In other non-legal countries, there is still such a thought, let alone Daqin, which is established by law?"

"There are a lot of relevant contents in the Book of Shang Jun, if the ministers don't like it, Fusu doesn't recommend saying a few more words."

"To Strength" said: Punishment is punished, and the country is governed; Punishment leads to punishment, and the country is in turmoil, so it is said: the execution is light, the punishment is successful, and the country is strong; Heavy and light, the punishment is life, and the country is cut. ”

"Speaking of the People" said: "Punishment is strong, force is strong, strong is strong, Wei is virtuous, and virtue is born in punishment." ”

"Han Feizi Neichu Said": There is no abandonment of ashes, and it is easy; Broken hands, evil also. It is easy to do, not about evil, the ancients thought it was easy, so they did it. ”

"The husband is burned severely, so the people are fresh, the water is cowardly, and the people are drowning."

“.”

"So many examples are enough to prove it."

"Law enforcement should be strict."

"Only by strictly enforcing the criminal law can the people not see the cowardice of the government and break the law."

"Great Qin can be described as strict with the people's legal system, if it falls on the officials, they will start to consider various situations, isn't it heavy and light? How can the people be convinced by doing so? The people are heavy, and the officials are light, and in the long run, the majesty of the law is bound to be lost. ”

"At present, hundreds of people have died in the shipwreck in Huai County."

"If the relevant officials are not punished, will the officials always be lucky? In the long run, law enforcement is inconsistent, isn't Daqin in danger? ”

"Great Qin established the country by law, and he should treat everyone equally."

"Daqin's law has never been to pursue harm to the people, but to be used to directly commit adultery to prevent crime, heavy punishment can deter the people to defy the law, so as to eliminate criminal behavior, the same is true for officials, only by severely punishing officials, can we curb officials who know the law and break the law, know the law and break the law, in order to truly reduce crime."

"Only in this way can we realize that the country has no criminal and civilian people."

"There are no torturers in the country!"

"Only by setting an example can we punish with punishment."

Fusu didn't say anything more.

But the perseverance in his eyes is unmistakable.

Du He and the others looked even more ugly, but it was difficult to refute them.

Great Qin is to establish the country by law, and the relevant regulations are written into Qin's laws, although many have long been not seriously enforced, but it is one thing to say and another thing to do, if it is put on the surface, many things will not be closed, even if it is him, he does not dare to touch it easily.

Looked at.

Li Si knew that the matter had been decided.

In his capacity as prime minister, he reaffirmed the strictness of the law.

The law cannot be violated, let alone committed.

Ultimately.

He agreed with Fusu's view.

As Li Si spoke, the officials who had not spoken in the field also spoke at this time.

Unanimous in agreement.

Then.

Ying Zheng, who was sitting on it, took the case angrily, quieting down the somewhat noisy hall.

He looked at Meng Yi and said, "Meng Yi, what do you think of Fusu's opinion?" ”

Meng Yi's face was pale, and he arched his hand: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what the eldest son said is not unreasonable, and the minister is indeed negligent, if he can understand the change in the identity and status of the merchant as soon as possible, and restrain the words and deeds of the businessman, I am afraid that it will not lead to this shipwreck, and it will not be in a panic." ”

"The minister is willing to admit punishment."

"Please ask Your Majesty to punish the crime, and the minister will never complain."

Meng Yi had no intention of defending.

He knows it well.

Whether to punish the crime or not does not depend on the court.

It's up to Your Majesty.

If His Majesty wants to punish the crime, no matter how much the courtiers fight, they will eventually be condemned.

If Your Majesty doesn't want to punish the crime, no matter what the eldest son says, even if he says it, there will be no change.

He has been in the Mongols for generations.

It was understood early on that everything was left to the decision of the monarch.

Montessori only obeys.

Ying Zheng looked at the other officials of the Tingwei Mansion and asked, "What about Zhuqing?" ”

The prison officials, the left prison, the right prison and other officials glanced at each other, with a trace of bitterness in their eyes, even the chief officer did not object, how could they dare to oppose as subordinates? Even if you don't want to do anything in your heart, you can only bite the bullet and say, 'Let Your Majesty dispose of it'.

Ying Zheng looked at Shaofu again.

Du He forcibly squeezed out a smile on his face, and said very bluntly: "Shaofu is at the disposal of His Majesty." ”

Ying Zheng didn't have any extra words, just nodded indifferently, and made a decision directly, saying: "Meng Yi, as a court lieutenant, does not observe the changes of the businessman, and has no insight, and is now removed from the post of court lieutenant, and all other officials in the court lieutenant mansion will be demoted to one rank, one rank of knight, the chief officer of the left prison, the right prison, and the prison officer, and retain the official position, and degrade the 'true' to 'false' for viewing, if the observation period expires, another arrangement will be made." ”

"Under the rule of Shaofu, the iron official and the salt official are dismissed from their posts, and they are used for other purposes."

"Relevant officials are demoted to one level, degraded 'true' to 'fake', and placed on duty for inspection."

"At the same time, Shi Lu was appointed as a 'false court lieutenant.' ”

"Appoint Sima Chang as."

“.”

Ying Zheng didn't stop talking, and announced the relevant in one go.

So far.

Other officials were aware of it.

The First Emperor probably had already done a good job in his heart.

Fusu is just that knife.

Du He's face was gloomy, looking at the high-ranking official, his eyes were full of solemnity.

At present, the chief official of the Tingwei Mansion has been replaced by Shi Shilu, the superintendent who built the 'Qin Digging Canal' on the Lingnan side, although it is a 'fake', but the power is no different from the real Tingwei.

Moreover, when Shi Lu was in the Lingqu, repairing water conservancy was a sideline, and supervising the history was his job.

That is, to punish those who are not upright in prisons.

That is, to investigate and deal with officials who violated the law and discipline when building the spiritual canal at that time.

In layman's terms, it is anti-corruption.

At present, Shi Lu is in the Tingwei Mansion, if he really raises the big stick, he is afraid that there will be turmoil in the Tingwei Mansion in the short term, which they do not want to see.

They are not afraid of checking, they are afraid of the truth.

What is even more afraid is that these newly promoted officials in power will be connected in private, and eventually shake the power of their courtiers in the court.

But these new officials are relatively young.

Time.

Duhe and the others frowned.

In addition to Shi Lu backgammon, Sima Chang has changed from a copper official to an iron official, and Hua Ji and others have also been appointed, and their official positions have been greatly improved compared to four months ago.

With the change of official positions, this court meeting also came to an end.

As for the "Law of Commerce" and "Law of Industry", it is not within the scope of discussion at this court meeting, and now it is mainly decided by the Imperial Governor's Mansion and the Imperial History Mansion, and then it will be discussed with the major government offices, and finally reported to the monarch for decision.

At present, there is still a period of time before the finalization of the "Law of Commerce" and "Law of Work", so I will not mention it more.

With the departure of the first emperor, hundreds of officials left one after another.

It's just that many officials have black faces, and there are also many officials with red faces.

There is a clear difference between the two.

However, when many officials looked at Fusu, their eyes changed a lot, although Fusu in the past was called a believer and a fighter, in fact, it was not very popular with the courtiers.

Because they have different political views.

However, now no one dares to underestimate this eldest son.

He is no longer humble and polite in the past, he is a little more ruthless and ruthless, and he is a little more upright, which is good or bad for the court.

Looking at the hundreds of officials who all looked at Fusu, Hu Hai was quite surprised.

He watched the whole thing with his eyes open.

I was very angry in my heart.

He thinks that if Ji Heng tells himself this method, the person who is now feared by hundreds of officials should be himself, not the current Fusu.

Meng Yi did not stay in the temple.

After the court meeting, he left directly.

It's just that the steps are a little messy.

Obviously, this encounter, even if he was prepared, still had some ups and downs.

On the other side, Shi Lu, Sima Chang and others are walking very slowly, they can be described as proud of the spring breeze at the moment, less than half a year after entering the dynasty, they have already jumped several levels in a row, such a promotion speed, I don't know how many people envy it.

However, they also know that they are not convinced, and they need to work hard to really sit in their positions.

It's just that when he looked at Fusu, there was a little more respect in his eyes.

They still know who they can get promoted.

Angle.

Zhang Cang tiptoed, trying not to make a noise, he just wanted to leave the court as fast as possible, and then find a place to hide.

He was really panicked.

It's just that his size is too large, no matter how light he is, it is easy to fall into the eyes of others, and when other officials see Zhang Cang, their eyes also show a touch of displeasure and annoyance.

Zhang Cang smiled awkwardly.

He didn't dare to stay in the hall for long at all, and walked quickly in three steps and two steps, but before he could get out of the hall, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

The sound was not loud, and it fell into the ears like thunder.

"Zhang Cang!!"

The group number was given to Ha, at the end of the chapter, it seems like it will take five minutes to come out.

(End of chapter)
