An ominous premonition hung over everyone.

The outsiders' pace, which had been brisk for three days, became heavy again.

And when they arrived at Xianyang Palace, another level appeared in front of them.

"Stop!"

A team of palace guards stopped in front of everyone and shouted in a deep voice: "Officials who are not above 500 stone in the Great Qin rank are not allowed to enter the court!" ”

"If you are a foreign minister, you should pass it in advance!"

Among the thousands of foreign guests, only Xiong Qi regained his official status, and only Xiong Qi passed this threshold.

In the face of the guards' obstruction, the outsiders were quite dissatisfied.

The courtesy they imagined didn't appear at all, and now they have all walked to the gate of the palace by themselves, but they are not even allowed to enter the palace?

Although they are all just ordinary people now, which of them was not a high-ranking official with a rank of more than 500 stones?

Xiong Qi heard another important point in the guard's words, and immediately asked: "Enter the court?" ”

"There's a big court meeting today?"

The guard bowed: "That's true." ”

Xiong Qi's brows furrowed.

Before this, Xiong Qike had never heard of the news of the Great Imperial Conference.

It's hard for Xiong Qi not to think that this big court meeting is coming for them.

But what can he do now?

He could only command in a deep voice: "Lao Zhu is waiting outside the palace gate." ”

"Enter the palace and ask clearly!"

Following the eunuch into the palace gate and ascending the long stairs, Xiong Qi finally entered the Qilin Palace.

In the Qilin Palace, more than 1,000 courtiers have been waiting here.

Seeing Xiong Qi who entered this hall again, the eyes of the courtiers were complicated, but they finally turned into a unified voice:

"Meet Sangbang!"

The most desired title was shouted out, but Xiong Qi did not have a trace of joy in his heart.

It's just because he has seen too many people he doesn't know at all in this court!

His eyes swept over a stranger, Xiong Qi walked to the edge of the high platform and bowed: "Minister, Xiangbang Xiong Qi, meet the king!" ”

Ying Zheng smiled and bowed his head: "The loss of the widow for a while almost made my Great Qin lose talents!" ”

"Xiong Xiang can return to the court, and the widow is very relieved!"

"Throne!"

Xiong Qi subconsciously wanted to walk on the high platform and sit in the position where Lu Buwei once was.

But the new waiter Feng Zheng had already moved a soft couch, placed it in the first row under the high platform, and bowed: "Please!" ”

Xiong Qi's eyes froze: "This is sitting here?" ”

Feng Zai was surprised and asked, "Otherwise?" ”

Oh, yes.

Or else?

Only Xiangbang, like Lü Buwei and Wei Ran, who can preside over or adjugate the government, are qualified to sit on the high platform.

Although Xiong Qi has now taken over Lü Buwei's official position, the gap between Xiangbang and Xiangbang is even bigger than the gap between people and dogs, and Xiong Qi is not qualified to enjoy Lü Buwei's political privileges!

Knowing that the situation was like this, Xiong Qi did not humiliate himself and sat quietly under the high platform.

As soon as Xiong Qi sat down, Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "The previous widow was lost, but fortunately, Li Si advised him to avoid damaging Daqin and fattening other countries." ”

"Summons Lis!"

Zhao Gao exclaimed: "Summons Li Si Li Tonggu!" ”

A famous eunuch acted as a human trumpet and sent the summons order to the palace gate.

Soon, Li Si trotted all the way into the Qilin Palace: "Commoner Li Si, meet the king!" ”

Ying Zheng said happily: "No courtesy." ”

"The widow knew Aiqing's talent for a long time, but he couldn't see Aiqing's talent after all."

"Aiqing's "Book of Exhortations to Guests" has made the widow enlightened, and it can be a famous article for the ages!"

Yingzheng admired Li Si's concept of governing the country and Li Si's understanding of the law.

And in order to heal the psychological damage of the eviction order to outsiders, Yingzheng needs a goal of buying a horse bone.

Li Si is a foreigner, and he is also a person recommended by Lü Buwei to enter the court, this identity is very suitable for serving as a role model for foreigners, demonstrating the generosity of Yingzheng.

Li Si is not a subordinate of Lü Buwei and has served as a squire for several years, so he can gain the trust of Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng also dares to reuse Li Si.

There are still a few people with similar identities to Li Si, but Li Si was the first to give advice on the matter of expulsion, that is, he was the first to enter the eyes of Ying Zheng, and showed his courage and execution.

With the addition of all kinds of buffs, Li Si is the most suitable horse bone to buy with a daughter!

So Ying Zheng did not hesitate to praise, for fear that others would not know that Ying Zheng valued Li Si

Li Si hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted again: "Thank you for your praise!" ”

Ying Zheng's voice turned solemn: "Aiqing deserves the praise of the widow!" ”

"Herald!"

"Promote Li Si to the court lieutenant!"

Reese:???

What's that?

I'm a Jiuqing!

Li Si was stunned, Li Si was ecstatic, and Li Si hurriedly gave up his hand: "Minister, thank you!" ”

Li Si didn't mean to refuse, and he didn't pretend to say that he was unworthy.

With Ying Zheng's posture of listening to persuasion, what if Ying Zheng really believes it!

Ying Zheng bowed his head happily: "Let's be in the ranks." ”

Li Si sat in the second row of Jiuqing seats, and Ying Zheng continued to speak:

"After receiving Li Tingwei's advice, the widow thought deeply, and summoned the guests and pedestrians to know how many talents there were among the outsiders!"

"Pass the widow's order!"

"Xiong Qi, the former imperial historian, is the prime minister!"

"Wěi is the Imperial Doctor!"

"Promote the foreigner Wei Yi to the national lieutenant!"

It's coming, it's coming!

The long-awaited official appointment has finally arrived!

Xiong Qi couldn't wait to get up and shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

On Xiong Qi's side, two very unfamiliar figures of Xiong Qi also got up and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Xiong Qi looked at the two of them, and the joy that had just risen was weakened by half.

If Yingzheng directly promised these two people the position of three princes, Xiong Qi would definitely not agree, and would definitely speak out.

Because Xiong Qi at that time regarded himself as Daqin's own people, Wei Yi and Kui Zheng were outsiders without merit, why did they serve as the third duke?

But an eviction order made Xiong Qi and these two people stand at the same starting point and have the same label, so that Yingzheng followed this label and promoted three people at the same time!

For a while, Xiong Qi was not easy to refute.

On the high platform, Ying Zheng continued to speak: "Order again!" ”

"Lieutenant Feng is going to be the commander of Lang!"

"Promote the servant Wang Juan to the captain!"

"The Pawn Tengfu is the internal history!"

"The Southern Guard of the Yuan Dynasty made Mi Li a pawn!"

"The general will be promoted to the Shaofu Order, and he will be forced to be a servant ......"

In a few words, the three princes and nine secretaries are full!

Although Yingzheng withdrew the eviction order, an expulsion operation made three more old Qin people appear in Jiuqing.

There are still very few, but compared to the pattern of only one old Qin person among the three princes and nine kings, the old Qin people are already very satisfied.

Many old Qin people showed a relieved smile on their faces, silently thanking Ying Cheng, who was not in the court.

But the people of Lao Qin were satisfied, but Xiong Qi was very dissatisfied!

The original plan of the Chu family's relatives was to seize the position of the left and right ministers and at least four Jiuqing!

But now there is only one third prince and one Jiuqing among the relatives of the Chu family, and the position of Jiuqing is still a pawn!

That is purely a diplomat position, and there is almost no power within Great Qin, and there is almost no difference between this seat of Jiuqing and not in terms of fighting for power and profit!

Xiong Qi, who frowned, immediately arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the ministers have advice!" ”

However, as soon as Xiong Qi's words came out, they were muffled by Shanhu.

"Yui!"

Xiong Qi suddenly turned his head and looked at the place where the mountain was calling.

He didn't believe that the courtiers didn't hear what he was just saying.

But the courtiers still interrupted him with a shout.

This is a demonstration against him by the courtiers of the new dynasty!

Kui sat on Xiong Qi's left and smiled: "If Xiong Xiangru has any advice, he can admonish him after going down." ”

"The king can listen to persuasion, but it doesn't mean that we can directly refute it after the king's order has been issued."

Wei Yi sat on Xiong Qi's right and said softly: "The king treats me and other foreign guests well, and we and other foreign guests should repay the king with national soldiers." ”

"Instead of being insatiable and demanding."

Judging from the seats, Wei Yi and Kui Zheng sat beside Xiong Qi and guarded him respectively.

But judging from the actual situation, it was Wei Yi and Kui who caught Xiong Qi on the left and right!

But Xiong Qi still got up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers have advice!" ”

Kui also got up and bowed: "Your Majesty, the ministers have advice!" ”

Ying Zheng asked gently: "What is the advice of Kui Zuo?" ”

Xiong Qi hated a lot in his heart.

Obviously I came first!

Kui Zheng said solemnly: "The minister has the grace of the king and is appointed as the imperial doctor." ”

"Since entering Qin, the ministers have thoroughly investigated my Great Qin officials and found that there are many problems!"

While speaking, Yu Shi Zhongcheng took several supervisors and Yu Shi to carry a large basket and walked up to the Qilin Palace.

Looking at those big baskets, Xiong Qi's eyelids jumped.

Kui continued: "A large amount of evidence of the crimes of officials has been archived at the waiting office, but no trial has been conducted. ”

"The minister found that most of the criminal officials were outsiders, and they had been deposed from their official positions or even left Daqin."

"The minister asked, whether to issue a sea fishing document, arrest such a minister who violated the law, and punish him according to the law!"

Ying Zheng finally looked at Xiong Qi: "Xiong Xiang just played, what advice is there?" ”

Xiong Qi's eyelids jumped even harder.

He finally understood why Ying Chengcheng would execute Chang Yu at the city gate.

That's the threat!

A naked and undisguised threat!

If Xiong Qi is unwilling to bow his head obediently, then don't blame Ying Zheng for turning over old accounts, and then let Ying Cheng go to the execution!

Xiong Qi wanted to reprimand Ying Zheng angrily at the first time, and then led all the Chu relatives to leave Daqin to see who Ying Zheng could use as an official.

But in the next moment, Xiong Qi sadly realized that the expulsion order was aimed at Chu relatives, but the revocation of the expulsion order was not to recall Chu relatives, but to open the door to foreign guests from all over the world.

When Daqin canceled the eviction order, it no longer mattered to Daqin whether the Chu relatives returned to Daqin.

Xiong Qi could only bow his head: "Minister, there is nothing to admonish!" ”

Ying Zheng bowed slightly: "As for the advice of Kui Xiang, can Xiong Xiang have some advice?" ”

Xiong Qi immediately gave his hand: "The minister thinks that the king changed the order and chilled the hearts of foreigners, and if the former sins are investigated, it will not be conducive to foreigners coming to Qin." ”

"The minister's advice, amnesty!"

After Ying Zheng pondered slightly, he spoke loudly: "In this case, the widow will follow the advice of Xiong Xiang and give amnesty!" ”

Xiong Qi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly surrendered his hand: "King Shengming!" ”

Ying Zheng changed the topic and said: "Now that the three princes and the nine secretaries are not empty, there are still thousands of official positions waiting for Daqin, so that the court cannot operate." ”

"If all Aiqing has a talented person, they can play."

"Xiong Xiang, Aiqing, as a Xiangbang, should bother a lot about this matter."

Yingzheng really needed talents, and the thousands of bureaucrats provided by Chu's relatives were also of great benefit to Great Qin.

But an expulsion order and a letter of expulsion made Ying Zheng turn passive into active, and even made the Chu relatives change from the master of Great Qin to Ying Zheng's dog!

The position of Xiangbang is just the flesh and bones that Yingzheng threw to Xiong Qi.

Except for Xiong Qi, all the relatives of the Chu family will not be able to serve as real and powerful ministers with a rank of more than 2,000 stones, and even the official position of more than 1,500 stones may be difficult to get.

Ying Zheng's next positioning for Chu's relatives is very clear: low-end screws, where you need to move!

But can Xiong Qi refuse?

After rejecting the winning government, which country can provide them with thousands of official positions?

And what country can come up with such fat meat and bones?

Xiong Qi could only helplessly give up: "Only! ”

Looking at Xiong Qi who was hanging his head, the corners of Ying Zheng's mouth raised a trace of imperceptible arc.

The issue of the endless struggle between the DPRK and China forces has been resolved for the time being.

The problem of the lack of enough bureaucratic talents in Daqin was also temporarily solved.

As long as this scattered court hall is twisted into a rope, Daqin can reopen the blood vessels, dredge the muscles and bones, and obtain a pair of iron fists that can hit hard!
