There are still ten days before the Great Dynasty Meeting, and after the Great Dynasty Meeting, it will be the fourth year of Qin II, and this body should be eighteen years old.

The autumn of September was crisp, and it was quite cool in the Four Seas Palace, and even the newspapers on the table looked much more pleasing to the eye.

I glanced at it in the early morning and suddenly found that Feng Zheng had not come.

When I returned to the Sihai Hall and asked Qi Xuan, I learned that Feng Zheng had taken leave.

"Sick?"

Qi Wan responded: "Back to Your Majesty, it was the Marquis of Hunyi whose condition worsened, and Prime Minister Zuo went back to take care of the Marquis of Hunyi." ”

I stopped my pen: "Is it serious?" ”

"It is said that the Imperial Doctor has asked Lord Su He to see it, I'm afraid it will ......"

I frowned, thought for a moment, put down the pen and the newspaper in my hand, and got up and walked to the side hall.

"Prepare the car and go to Hunyi."

Not long after, the convoy left Xianyang Palace.

Along the way, all you saw were people busy with the autumn harvest. Now that the situation is stable, and the city is only fifty miles away from Xianyang, there is no fanfare to purge pedestrians along the way.

Guanzhong is rich, especially around Xianyang, there are Weishui meandering through, and there are few natural disasters. The millet in the roadside fields has already been harvested, and most of them are children picking up the lost grain, and farmers who have already started to cultivate corn. Now with the new farming tools, it is easier to obtain cattle in Guanzhong than in other places, and the speed of harvesting and cultivation is much faster.

In the middle of the field, there was a woman leading the ox in front and a man in the back, using a modified curved plow. On the edge of the ridge are several children catching grasshoppers and mowing grass, the former is used to feed chickens and ducks, and the latter can fill cattle and sheep. Smaller children pouted and jumped to the sound of crickets.

Further afield, scattered villages are dotted with tall waterwheels, watermills built below, and some people are repairing roofs. Compared with the dilapidated houses I saw in Longxi and Surabaya, these houses are much better, and I think other places in Daqin have also improved.

Looking into the distance, the majestic Qinling Mountains are like a pale green dragon lying horizontally on the golden eyes of the Guanzhong land, with no end in sight forward and backward.

"Autumn into the clouds, things are chic. All kinds of scenery can be picturesque. ”

The land of Guanzhong in autumn is even more than the clouds and mountains in the eyes of Zhang Liang, and the eyes are all paintings.

When I arrived at the Hou Mansion of Juyi, I raised my eyes and looked at it, compared to Li Xin's Hou Mansion of Longxi, it was estimated to be only half the size.

Feng Zheng was waiting at the door, and Qi Wan had already sent someone to inform him first.

Seeing my car coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, his voice a little hoarse.

"Join Your Majesty!"

I stepped forward and gave me a little help.

"Feng Xiang doesn't have to be polite. This Hou Mansion is a little too simple. ”

Feng Zai squeezed out a smile on his somewhat tired face: "This was originally Chen's hometown, and after my father came back, he only changed the plaque, and did not build a large number of buildings to repair the yard." ”

I nodded and sighed lightly: "The Marquis of Yi has worked hard for Great Qin all his life, and his life is so simple, he is really my minister of Great Qin's humerus!" ”

Feng Zheng bowed sideways: "Your Majesty, come into the mansion quickly." ”

I stepped in, followed by Feng Zheng.

"Let's go see the Marquis of Hunyi."

Feng Zai raised his hand to signal, and the housekeeper who led the way in front turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard with a few people.

As soon as I arrived at the door, a strong smell of bitter medicine rushed straight to my lungs and spleen, and I frowned slightly, it seemed that Feng Quji was really seriously ill.

Entering the house, Feng Quji was lying on the bed, and his wife Bai Yunying was wiping his cheeks for him, and his face kept sweating.

Seeing me coming, Bai Yunying hurriedly got up and bowed slightly, with no expression on her pale face.

"I've seen Your Majesty."

I nodded. I killed her brother with my own hands, and I don't know what she thinks of me.

"No need to be polite."

Over there, Feng Qujian struggled to get up, and Bai Yunying and Feng Zai hurriedly stepped forward to help.

I took two quick steps and reassured: "Don't get up, Marquis of Hunyi, lie down quickly." ”

Feng Qujian nodded weakly to salute on his behalf.

"Your Majesty Xie......"

Then Bai Yunying retreated, leaving only the three of us in the house.

I sat down on the couch. Feng Qujian was full of gray hair, his face was thin, and only skin and bones were left in his body, but even then he still kept sweating.

"Old minister...... How can the old minister let His Majesty come to visit in person, the old minister ...... Thank you, Your Majesty...... Ahem......"

I hurriedly waved my hand and motioned for him to stop talking.

"The Marquis of Juyi has worked hard for Daqin all his life, and now he is seriously ill, how can I abandon it? I have already ordered Su He to find a way, and the Marquis of Juyi can recuperate in peace. ”

Feng Quji coughed twice, and Feng Zai fed him some decoction next to him, which was better.

"Zai'er, you go out, I have something to say to Your Majesty alone."

Feng Zheng gave me a worried look, and I signaled that I wouldn't let him talk for too long, so Feng Zheng bowed and retreated.

Feng Qujian soothed and smiled for a long time.

"Your Majesty, when a man is about to die, his words are good. There are some things that the minister will not say now, I am afraid that there will be no chance, and I hope that Your Majesty will approve it. ”

I nodded: "For me, the words of the Marquis of Juyi have always been loyal and good words, but it doesn't hurt to speak. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"First of all, Feng Zheng. Lai His Majesty was graceful and made him the prime minister of Zuo. But although Feng Zai is already thirty years old, his temperament is not stable enough, and he is not as good as the ministers of the DPRK and China in handling political affairs. Therefore, the old minister asks His Majesty for permission to remove him from the position of Prime Minister of the Left! ”

I was slightly stunned, I didn't expect Feng Quji to make this request. Everyone in the world said that the king of Qin was widowed, Wang Qian, Wang Ben, Wei Yi, and Fan Ju, Wei Ran, and Zhang Yi in the future, but those who held great power in the Qin State either retreated bravely or died depressed.

I smiled bitterly in my heart, it seems that Feng Quji also knows this.

"Now the Western Regions, the Xiongnu, corruption and many other things can't be handled by Li Si alone. When the DPRK and China are stabilized, I will consider the suggestion of the Marquis of Hunyi. ”

Feng Qujian is like this, promise him first, don't argue for a long time and then make his condition worse.

Feng Qujian nodded, if I didn't agree, he couldn't help it, just say it.

"The other is Lis." Feng Qujian frowned: "Originally, the old minister shouldn't have said this, but seeing that His Majesty is diligent and loves the people, my Great Qin is quite prosperous, so the old minister still wants to remind His Majesty." Li Si, Neng Chen, and Lao Chen are not as good as also. But there is only one step between the capable minister and the powerful minister. If the capable ministers start to form a party for personal gain, the monarch is in danger. ”

I nodded, with a solemn expression: "The Hou of Yi reminded me well. Recently, I feel that Li Sinai is a capable minister, and it is easy to use. But if I rely too much on him, I'm afraid that with his character, I will eventually become a powerful minister. It's just that there are no available people in the court now, and those I have promoted are still young and useless. Is there a good plan for the Marquis of Juyi? ”

Feng Qu stabilized his mind, took a long breath, and smiled hard: "The old minister's words have already offended Li Si, if Your Majesty really wants to hear it, the old minister is afraid that he will offend the emperor's spirit in the sky." ”

My eyes were slightly condensed, and it seemed that Feng Quji was finally about to get to the core issue.
