Xianyang Palace.

Listening to Feng Quji's impeachment, Fusu's face was as usual.

He threw the bamboo slip he was looking at in his hand on the case, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, in the past two days, there have been too many officials impeaching the reform government for their nonsense, but I said at the beginning, 'There is no suspicion in employing people, and no suspicion is needed'. ”

"So be it."

"I called Zhong Heng over."

"You may have misunderstood."

"At that time, I can also explain it clearly, and by the way, I will also listen to what the reform government wants to do."

"Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Hear the words.

Feng Quji's complexion changed slightly.

He was not satisfied with this answer.

And he could hear that Fusu didn't want to retreat.

Ponder for a moment.

Feng Qujian arched his hand and said: "The minister obeys the order, the minister may indeed have some disagreements with the officials of the reform government, maybe the two sides are open and honest, and they can also talk about these misunderstandings." ”

"If the prime minister can think so clearly, I will be relieved." Fusu smiled and nodded.

He instructed Wei Sheng, "Wei Sheng, go and send Zhong Heng." ”

Wei Sheng hurriedly said, "No." ”

After responding, he trotted to pass the word.

Not much.

Ji Heng appeared in Xianyang Palace.

However, it did not appear in the main hall, but was arranged in the side hall.

Feng Qujian has been waiting for a long time.

Looked at.

Ji Heng immediately understood what it meant, and said to Feng Quji: "Prime Minister Feng." ”

Feng Qu snorted coldly, and said without pretense: "Zhong Heng, is the boiling 'Eating Wind Report' in the city from your hand?" ”

Although Feng Quji was asking, his tone was extremely affirmative.

Ji Heng nodded.

He tidied up his sleeves and said with a smile: "It's true that he came from my own restructuring mansion, but the prime minister has a high opinion?" ”

Feng Qu hurriedly said: "Gao Jian naturally can't talk about it, but your newspaper, once it is published, it will stir up the wind and rain in the city, making everyone in the city panic, such a beneficial thing, but it is a little worrying, the restructuring of the mansion is mixed, if such a skill is learned by outsiders, I am afraid it will affect the peace of the world." ”

"As the prime minister, I have to investigate."

Ji Heng chuckled, nodded with a smile, and agreed: "The newspaper does have a great impact on public opinion in the world, and it is indeed a double-edged sword, which can help Daqin or hurt Daqin, but the prime minister wants me to hand over this skill, I am afraid that I have found the wrong person." ”

"I did use this skill."

"It's just that this skill is not in my hands, but Gongzi Gao, Gongzi Jianglu, and Hu Hai and others have mastered, I only have a close relationship with Hu Hai, so I have the opportunity to use it, and the cost of paper is very high, even if the prime minister takes it, I am afraid it will not be able to be manufactured on a large scale, let alone printing."

Hear the words.

Feng Qujian frowned.

He didn't expect Ji Heng to answer like this.

It's really unexpected.

If the process of making the newspaper is in the hands of Gongzi and others, it means that it is the property of the royal family, although he is the prime minister of the Great Qin, he does not dare to easily take the things of the royal family, otherwise a crime of not having reverence for the royal family will be placed on the head of the imperial history.

He wasn't afraid, but he didn't want to get into trouble.

Feng Qujian looked at Ji Heng coldly, and said indifferently: "How dare you be gullible? ”

"Even if it is really in the hands of the royal family, it is true that the Prime Minister's Mansion should not trespass, but the Prime Minister's Mansion has the right to know in advance about such a thing that can easily trigger the tide of people in the city."

Ji Heng shook his head and said lightly: "The prime minister is a little too high in the role of reading newspapers. ”

"The reason why the newspaper has so much influence this time."

"First, it is a new thing, which has aroused great enthusiasm and curiosity among the people in the city."

"Second, it is the matter of restructuring, which has won the hearts of the people, so that the citizens in the city have such a high mood to discuss."

"And the real abolition of the secular official system is hardly talked about at the bottom."

"The people at the bottom are very realistic."

"Most of them only care about their own vital interests."

"And such expectations for the new law can also be seen as the people are full of dissatisfaction with the current law and are eager to change, otherwise how can the people be so excited because of some scales and feathers, and they don't know when it will be implemented?"

"In my opinion."

"The prime minister is a little reluctant to go to the end."

"As the prime minister of Great Qin, in the face of surging public opinion, the first time should not be blocked, nor should it be afraid, as the so-called mouth of the people, more than the defense of Sichuan, even if the Prime Minister's Mansion saw those newspapers, it also prevented these newspapers from being decentralized, but will the voice of the bottom disappear?"

"What you really have to do is not to conform to public opinion and actively promote the reform of the system and the law?"

"Why do you rest on your laurels, or even hide your ears and steal the bell?"

Listening to Ji Heng's words, Feng Quji disagreed, and sneered: "Governing the country, I have more experience than you." ”

"As the so-called governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, it is not easy to make a big move, and the matter of reforming and changing the law is inappropriate for Daqin, but His Majesty trusts you, so he took the risk to try, but Daqin finally settled down, and it was the time to recuperate, but he rashly got involved in the reform and change of the law, and if he was careless, or there was a problem with the change, it was likely to lead to the stability of Daqin."

"As the prime minister of Great Qin, how can I turn a deaf ear?"

"It's not suitable to change the law right now!"

"The bottom has a slight view of the existing legal system, which has always existed, but just because the people at the bottom are dissatisfied, they have to change the law, so what is the law of Daqin?"

"Isn't it chaotic to change the order every day?!"

"You may think that you are full of enthusiasm and are all for the sake of Daqin, but as everyone knows, for Daqin, stability is the most urgent, the world has only been over for more than ten years, and then after five or six years of rebellion, the people are tired, and they can't stand the toss at all."

"And restructuring means changing the law."

"The people at the bottom finally accepted Qin Law, and this suddenly has to change the law, which is almost about to overturn everything and start over, how can the bottom have so much energy to toss? After this toss, it was those low-level leaders who suffered in the end. ”

"You keep saying that it is for the world."

"Is that really for the world?"

"I think it's to satisfy your personal desires!"

"Put your personal desires above the safety of the world, Zhong Heng, you are too self-righteous!"

Feng Qu glared angrily.

Ji Heng was silent.

He looked at Feng Qujian lightly, nodded, and shook his head again.

Half a day.

Only then did he answer: "You are right, to a large extent, it is indeed out of selfishness, I have selfishness, don't you have it?" ”

"Xing, the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer. ”

"The suffering of the people at the bottom has never been in the rise or fall."

"It's that the desires of the officials are insatiable."

"Ask for it!"

"Are you blocking the restructuring, is it really for the world?"

"What a high-sounding excuse."

"You really wear such a big top hat?"

"Life is in the world, but the word fame and fortune, you are the prime minister, fame and fortune."

"But people are not satisfied, the so-called restructuring is actually just a euphemism, and the real thing is to change the law."

"It's a revolution!"

"You're just trying to protect your own interests."

"In order to protect the interests of the bureaucracy under the old system, do you really care about what the bottom thinks?"

"Huh."

"You really don't know the drawbacks of Great Qin's existing laws?"

"I really don't know the complaints of the lower levels about the law? I really don't know about the bitter things in the world? ”

"You know it all."

"But you don't care."

"Because you don't have those in your eyes."

"What you value is your own interests, and what you value is your Feng family's interests."

"Once the system is reformed, you, the prime minister, will have to retire from the court, which is very reluctant for you and for the Feng family."

"And after the reform, what will become of the court, you don't know what it will become, and you are also worried that the authority of the Feng family will be weakened again and again, and eventually like the Sima family and the Wang family, it will decline rapidly."

"The unknown is the biggest fear in this world."

"And you are full of unknowns about everything in the future of Great Qin, so you are extremely resistant to changing the law."

"Because you are destined to be a victim."

"So it's understandable that you're resisting change."

"But changing the law is the desire of the people, how can you resist it alone?"

"It is imperative to change the law."

"The reason why I haven't said the word change lightly."

"It's because the courtiers of Great Qin know that the cruelty and cold-bloodedness of the word change."

"That's going to kill people."

"So I'm willing to make some concessions."

"At least you courtiers will be given a certain amount of decency."

"But this kind of decency has limitations, if the prime minister still cites and wants to continue to block the advancement of the reform, maybe"

"I can only ask the prime minister to fade out of the court, or even stay away from the court, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and now the people's hearts are stable, lies in recuperation, at this time, if you don't let go of the shackles on the people, and blindly high-pressure persecution, that is the real counterproduct."

Hear the words.

Feng Quji's complexion changed drastically.

He didn't expect Ji Heng to dare to threaten him.

He is the prime minister of Great Qin.

Just a restructured government official dared to shout to drive himself away from the court.

Where did he get the guts?

Feng Quji laughed angrily, and said coldly: "It's nonsense, as the prime minister of Great Qin, I know more and more thoroughly about the affairs of the world than you, I, Feng Quji, am dedicated to the public and have no selfish intentions, how can you slander me?!" ”

"And I'm going to go fast and do it right, what's there to be afraid of?"

"It's you."

"It's already unknown, and it's all kinds of blind tossing."

"You're the one who wants to ruin Daqin."

Ji Heng smiled faintly and said, "Prime Minister Feng, it is normal for people to be selfish, but if people are not selfish, then it is not normal." ”

"But selfishness is to make way for the world."

"What I said to you before was not actually a warning, nor a threat, but a heartfelt word."

"It is imperative for Daqin to reform the system."

"Even if you want to stop it, you can't stop it."

"And I have time to waste, right now Han Xin's pursuit of the Huns is non-stop, I'm afraid that in a month or two, the good news can be sent back, but the content of the good news is to plow the court and sweep the holes, or to seal the wolf Juxu who is further than Prime Minister Meng, but it is not necessarily."

"Until then."

"Han Shin is back with a victory."

"Can the prime minister think about how to suppress it?"

"As long as Daqin's military merit system remains unchanged, Han Xin will be the hottest existence today, and he will definitely be ranked as the third duke."

"Will your insistence still be meaningful, Prime Minister?"

"As the prime minister of Great Qin, you have been for a long time, and in fact, you have long known that in this position, many times you can't help yourself, and you can't take the initiative to do things, but push forward for the group behind you."

"The same goes for Han Shin."

"He is a general from Kanto."

"Representing hundreds of thousands of officials in the six regions of Kanto."

"Such a large number of officials will definitely push Han Xin to the position of the third prince."

"Han Xin, who is in power, how can he not vote for Li Baotao?"

"There will be more and more officials from the court and Kanto in the next few years, and the imperial court will increase its support for the Kanto, and many officials will definitely get more room for promotion, and the old system you stick to has collapsed."

"There is no point in holding on."

"The gap between Kanto and Kanchu will definitely be broken."

"Bridging things, this is what the emperor wants to do and should do, and anything that stands in the way is on the opposite side of the emperor."

"And you don't have the power to fight it."

"And quite the opposite."

"The more you block, the greater the court's support for the Kanto region, so big that you have to retreat, but at that time, I am afraid that it will not be the old Qin officials who have the final say, but the officials from the Kanto region who have the final say."

"You should be able to understand this."

Hear the words.

Feng Quji's face changed and changed.

Eventually there was silence.

He knew what Ji Heng meant.

It is also clear what Ji Heng meant.

It's just that if this step is retreated, he will have no place in the court.

And also have to bear infamy.

Feng Quji looked at Ji Heng with a gloomy expression and said, "You are so confident in your change?" ”

Ji Heng smiled and said, "If you don't have confidence, how dare you take it?" ”

"However, the changes I presided over will last for a long time, and there will be a lot of changes."

"Even the world will be completely rectified."

"Although it is difficult, it is endless to struggle with the sky; Struggle with the ground, the joy is endless; Struggling with others is also a lot of fun. ”

"I could not have come to see you."

"It's just that you, as the prime minister of Great Qin, need a decent person after all."

"I can open some convenient doors for you in terms of restructuring, but since it is applicable for a short time, everyone will be equal after a long time, but in comparison, it is still more beneficial to people from Guanzhong."

"That's the only thing I can promise."

Feng Qu was uncertain, but he couldn't make up his mind.

Ji Heng didn't want to say anything more, but said: "Three days later, I will ask Your Majesty to gather the three princes and nine secretaries, and then discuss together and officially promulgate the 'abolition of the world official system', and then I will make some more concessions in that council, but it is also the final concession." ”

"And"

"The matter related to the Lord must be decided."

"The civil law can be slowed down, it can be slow, but the civil lord can't be delayed."

After speaking.

Ji Heng walked away.

Feng Quji stood in the hall, looking at Ji Heng's distant figure, his face changed and changed, and finally sighed lightly and returned to his prime minister's mansion.

It's just that the whole person has disappeared a lot. (End of chapter)
