Leave Xianyang Palace.

Li Si and Feng Quji's backs were already soaked.

The two of them stood outside the hall with palpitations, their faces full of horror.

Until this time.

They're just trying to figure it out.

In fact, they have always been secretly at the mercy of the First Emperor.

Feng Qujian took a deep breath, looked at Li Si with palpitations, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty's power is getting heavier and heavier, we have paid too much attention to His Highness these days, but we have almost ignored Your Majesty, it is true that His Highness has changed a lot in this year, but in places that we have not noticed, Your Majesty has also changed a lot." ”

"And Your Majesty's mind is getting deeper and deeper, and it is becoming more and more elusive."

Lees was silent.

He was equally emotional.

In fact, he always thought that His Royal Highness was opening his eyes for His Majesty, but His Majesty had some inconvenient things to say by himself, and told the ministers through His Highness's mouth, but when he saw the note, he suddenly woke up, and he was afraid that he had guessed wrong.

He wasn't wrong.

It's a thing!

His Majesty really wants to solve the shortcomings of the military merit system.

And His Majesty wanted to solve it a long time ago, but he never thought of a way, this time His Highness proposed several feasible strategies, but it seemed to give His Majesty a solution.

However, Daqin simply couldn't afford such a risk now.

They are clear.

Your Majesty is also clear.

Therefore, just now in the court, they dared to express their hearts and directly say the shortcomings of the policies of Fusu, but it was not until His Majesty took out that piece of music that he suddenly understood that His Majesty did not want to directly solve the problem of the military merit system.

even

His Highness convened his ministers to discuss a few days ago and it was just a pretense.

Excuse!!!

What His Majesty really wants to do is to solve the hidden worries that may exist within the army.

But who dares to say that what Fusu said is not His Majesty's true thoughts?

And that's where Your Majesty comes in.

Feng Quji said in a condensed voice: "Now the other courtiers are probably worried about the methods proposed by His Highness, but as everyone knows, we have all been put on the table by His Highness, and from beginning to end, it is just His Majesty's idea behind closed doors, and it cannot be recognized as His Majesty's thoughts." ”

"It's just that we all mistakenly thought it was His Majesty's idea before."

"And that started wrong."

Li Si looked at Feng Quji, hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "I don't think it's wrong, it's just that things are important, and the matter of military merit is indeed very important, but in the current situation, it is actually not very tricky, but this is only for now, it does not mean that it will be like this in the future, and those policies will eventually be implemented in my opinion." ”

"It's just a matter of time."

Lees continued: "The situation of these few days has been just a test from beginning to end. ”

"There are temptations from His Highness to us, there are also temptations from His Majesty to government decrees, and there are speculations from us about Your Majesty and His Highness."

"It's just that we're always mistaken about it."

"And even now, I'm afraid there are still many people who haven't reacted."

"It's really an excuse to solve the military merit system."

"Your Majesty's real mind is to solve the hidden dangers that may exist in the army."

"But is this excuse really just an excuse?"

"I don't think so."

"I think that's probably what the king really thinks."

"It's also a real intention."

"It's just that I wait for it to be clear, and Your Majesty must also know that the world is not suitable for big moves now, so in the end it can only be put on hold slightly, but it seems that in the end it seems to be just a casual talk, but in fact it may not be the case."

"The transfer of military generals is not a preemptive attempt made by His Majesty."

"It's just that everything is true and false, false and real, so that people can't see through it and can't guess."

"In the end, it fell on my shoulders."

Hear the words.

Feng Qujian seemed to realize something, and his face changed suddenly.

He said in a condensed voice: "Prime Minister Li Cheng's meaning, what His Highness said is probably what His Majesty really wants to do, and what we will see later is just the first step for the imperial court?" ”

Lees nodded.

His eyes were deep, he looked up at the sky, and said in a deep voice: "This is the power of Your Majesty." ”

"There is no denial from beginning to end, but there is no affirmation, everything can only be guessed by myself, if someone really doesn't take these things seriously, something will go wrong in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to exonerate myself at all, because His Highness has already informed me of these things."

"But if you take this matter too seriously, if something goes wrong on the way, the blame will also be on yourself."

"Your Majesty's temperament is becoming more and more difficult to guess."

Feng Qu's heart sank.

In the past six months, the changes in the imperial court have actually been quite small.

And His Majesty, intentionally or unintentionally, also revealed his dissatisfaction with the current court.

Feng Quji asked, "Prime Minister Li, how do you think this matter will be resolved in the end?" ”

Li Si chuckled, as if he was not at ease at all, and said lightly: "Prime Minister Feng, you are now confused by the authorities." ”

"Who brought it up from the beginning to the end?"

"Your Highness." Feng Qujian said directly without any hesitation.

Li Si nodded and said, "Does Your Highness have the power to decide the country's major policies right now?" ”

Feng Qu shook his head.

Although Fusu is now the prince of Great Qin, the power of the imperial court is still firmly grasped by the first emperor, how can Fusu have the power to decide the country's major policies?

Come to think of this.

Feng Qujian also understood.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you Prime Minister Li for your explanation." ”

He was just a little confused in front of him, but now he had completely figured it out.

The methods proposed by Fusu this time were all met in private, and they would not have been made public, and the notes that His Majesty showed later also explained that this matter would only be resolved in a small area in the end, and would not really be widely publicized.

His Royal Highness's follow-up office is only in charge of the transfer of generals in the army.

It had nothing to do with them all along.

They were just told.

But that's about it.

However, it was this that was told, but it put them in a dilemma.

Li Si shook his head and said in a deep voice: "At the moment, this matter really has nothing to do with us, but we can't take it lightly, because I don't know when this matter will become true, and if we can't deal with it properly, I'm afraid we will be unstable in the DPRK." ”

Li Si couldn't help but remind.

Feng Qujian nodded hurriedly.

Lees looked at the sky with a deep gaze.

Thoughts are flying.

The first emperor's body was rumored to have a problem some time ago, but a few days later, many people and he thought that it was just an excuse, in order to push Su to the throne, but now, he gradually had doubts in his heart.

What if Your Majesty really has a physical problem?

And Hu Hai suffered another attack in the South China Sea, which was destined to make the First Emperor worried, in order to help Su to ascend the throne smoothly in the future, and for the long-term stability of the empire, the First Emperor will definitely strangle some hidden dangers of the army.

But the real concern of the military stems from the military merit system.

This is not something that can be reversed in a short period of time.

That's why Fusu summoned the courtiers twice.

Those words seemed to be said by Fusu, but it was not what His Majesty wanted to tell them, and at the same time, His Majesty also wanted to tell them that the wind direction of the imperial court would change in the future.

At present, His Majesty still has the heart to let Fusu make adjustments steadily, but when His Majesty's body deteriorates day by day, will His Majesty still be so calm at that time? Will you continue to pursue stability?

Impossible.

He knows His Majesty well.

Once His Majesty decides to do something, he has always been reckless of the consequences and implications.

His Majesty has always valued only the result.

That's why there is this 'meeting of kings and ministers' in the past few days.

Feng Quji nodded and said: "Then in the past few years, we can actually make some preparations in advance, and make some advance preparations for the large-scale implementation of 'enrollment', 'for officials', and 'for the 'bestow' in the future, so as to avoid being overstretched when we really need it in the future." ”

Li Si bowed.

The two looked around and walked away quickly.

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

Although the matter was not finalized, it was like a mountain that pressed on their chests, and they had to be vigilant at all times, but they were a little better than the others, at least they had reacted, and the other courtiers were not.

Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng's face was very calm.

He asked the eunuch to take back the recital that Li Sifeng had gone to see the case.

This matter is over.

It's all just words.

What the imperial court really needs to do next is to strengthen its control over the army.

The hidden worries of the generals are solved.

As for the method proposed by Ji Heng, Ying Zheng was also quite excited, but he also knew very well that it was not yet time, and it was too much involved, and if it was not controlled well, it might affect himself, so he would not implement it easily.

But not at the moment.

It doesn't mean doing nothing.

So he told the courtiers about these things through the mouth of Fusu.

He wanted to make the courtiers know in their hearts.

And this is the emperor's mind.

Through some true and false, false and real words, the courtiers were tired and fell into all kinds of suspicions, and finally had to work hard to do more to avoid getting into trouble in the end.

Ying Zheng looked at the music on the case, and his eyes fell into contemplation.

He has seen the solution given by Ji Heng.

There is something that works.

It's just that he has always been wary of Ji Heng.

Ji Heng's thinking is a little too terrifying, he seems to be omnipotent, and he is very familiar with politics, and he doesn't look like a young man in his early twenties at all, nor does he look like a person who has not stepped into the court.

He is also different from Han Fei.

Han Fei does have a deep understanding of absolute monarchy.

But Han Fei is only a scholar after all, he is good at writing articles, and he is not suitable for stepping into the court, once he steps into the whirlpool of the court, it is easy to lose his original rationality and become mediocre.

However, Ji Heng gives people a very sophisticated feeling.

It is clear that he has not stepped into the court, but he knows everything about the court, and he is very clear about the psychology of the courtiers, and even sometimes he is calculating himself intentionally or unintentionally, just in a way that he is more useful.

But this is still disliked by Yingzheng.

He hated the feeling of not being under his control.

Especially the solution given by Ji Heng, he also thought about making changes, but in the end he could only continue to follow Ji Heng's method, otherwise there would be various problems in the middle.

And the solution proposed by Ji Heng this time made Ying Zheng even more worried.

Because there are too many things that Ji Heng wants to change.

What will change Daqin into in the future, even he can't predict, and when he was in prison before, Ji Heng didn't know once that his ambition was to 'change the country, change the way of governance, change the livelihood, and change the people'.

At present, under Ji Heng's step-by-step control, Daqin has begun to move in the direction that Ji Heng predetermined.

This made Yingzheng even more angry.

So sometimes he will deliberately suppress some things, but the effect is not obvious, and even in the end he can only turn to Ji Heng for help, during this time he changed his mind, it may not be enough for him alone, so let the courtiers also join in, he wants to see if Ji Heng's intelligence is really so demonic, and the power of the entire court of Great Qin can still not be shaken in the slightest?

He wants to be the one who hides behind the scenes.

Let Ji Heng secretly compete with the courtiers, so that he can see the situation more clearly, so as to make more favorable choices.

Ying Zheng looked at the desk with gloomy eyes, and said coldly: "Ji Heng, I don't know what your intentions are, but Daqin is my Daqin, and I appreciate some of your ideas, but you are too smart, and you really can't see through it." ”

"How can I do everything you want?!"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly, and a cold color flashed in his eyes.

With a wave of his sleeves, he had readjusted his mind and said loudly outside the hall: "Come on, go and summon Li Xin to me." ”

With the sound of footsteps outside the hall, the outside of Xianyang Palace fell silent.

Ying Zheng didn't think much about Ji Heng, and focused all his attention on the disposal of the South China Sea army, it was inconvenient to rush to make a move before, but now everything is ready, and the South China Sea should be dealt with.

There is no room for error in the army.

Not a single cent.

In addition, I haven't thought about how to deal with it before, but Ji Heng gave a solution, and it is very appropriate.

In the past, if there was a change in the army, the first reaction of the imperial court was to dispose of the generals headed by him, but Ji Heng's approach was different, he targeted the middle and lower level officers, and transferred these middle and lower level officers, who were actually the real controllers of the army.

In this way, the court can also make follow-up actions on this.

A general's energy is limited, and his henchmen are also limited, without his henchmen by his side, even if a general has the intention to make trouble, he will only have more than enough heart and not enough strength.

The method given by Ji Heng is the real bottom of the kettle.

It's the real way to control.

Soon.

Li Xin arrived at Xianyang Palace.

Seeing Li Xin's silver hair, Ying Zheng was also quite embarrassed.

The defeat of Fa Chu that year was too great a blow to Li Xin, and since then he has been completely depressed, although he has also participated in several battles later, but it is difficult to recover his previous spirit, and the whole person is depressed a lot.

Ying Zheng glanced at Li Xin a few times, and said in a calm voice: "Li Xin, I summoned you back this time mainly for one thing. ”

"South China Sea!"

"You have heard some news in the army or in Xianyang, Hu Hai suffered an attack in the South China Sea, and what I want to hand over to you this time is to serve as the deputy general of the South China Sea Army, and assist Zhao Tuo to complete the destruction of the Ouluo region, so that the South China Sea can be completely restored to peace."

"Also."

"It is to assist the Soviet Union in rectifying military governance."

"I don't want something like this to happen to the South China Sea Army again."

"Do you understand?"
