Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 398 Adjustment and Balance

Chapter 400 Adjustment and Balance

On the left side, Li Si, Feng Quji, the three lords and nine ministers, including Wei Liao and other people from the Kanto region were all sitting there.

On the right side, Ying Teng, Wang Li, and Fan Jian lived alone on the right side of the Yizheng Hall.

Originally, it was logical that the people from the Wang clan would not be able to attend Wang Li's turn. After all, there are many people in the Wang clan who have more seniority and prestige than Wang Li.

But now that Wang Ben is leading the army in Xingyang, today's court meeting is different. The Wang family needs one person to attend.Taking advantage of the relationship between Wang Li and Ying Gang, members of the Wang clan allowed their eldest son to attend this important court meeting.

And this was also the first time Wang Li participated in such an important court meeting.Although he came from a wealthy family, today's scene still made Wang Li, who had really entered the core of the Great Qin for the first time, feel a little cramped and uneasy.

Although he knew most of the courtiers present in private, when standing here, everyone's expressions were not as good as private.

Everyone's looks and actions made him extremely uncomfortable.

Just when everyone could hardly bear this inexplicable pressure.

"His Majesty is here!"

Zheng Lun's sharp voice suddenly sounded from outside the lobby.

A group of important officials of the Great Qin Dynasty who were silently waiting in the lobby rose up when they heard the sound, bowed together and said: "Your Majesty is waiting to welcome you!"

After the sound fell, Ying Zheng appeared at the door of the Yizheng Hall.He quickly walked up to the main hall of the Yizheng Hall, turned around and said, "Everyone loves you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After all the officials in the hall sat down, Ying Zheng said, "Are Fan Yushi, Su Yushi, and Fang Yushi here?" He asked, but Ying Zheng looked straight at Fan Jiansan people.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Fan Jian, Su Mo, and Fang Youcong hurriedly got up when they heard the emperor's question.

"You don't need to be polite to the three lovers. I am so relieved to see the three lovers!" Ying Zheng smiled and said to Fan Jiansan, then turned to Zheng Lun who was standing beside him and said: "Zheng Lun, declare the edict!" .”

As soon as they heard the word "Xuanzhao", all the officials in the hall were shocked.

Especially Liss.

I suddenly felt a little uneasy in my heart.

Since Yingzheng came back from his inspection tour, there were very few edicts that were drafted after the ministers' meeting, and the edicts that had been discussed with Li Si and others, whether it was the appointment of officials, the bestowal of titles, or the policy edicts of the court Order, but also a no.

Although Ying Zheng had acted arbitrarily in the past, but not so often.

This time, he really intended to kick out all his courtiers.If so, what is the use of being the Great Qin Prime Minister?
Although Li Si's dissatisfaction had reached the sky, his face remained calm, and he respectfully got up to listen to the imperial edict.

"His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor issued an edict: From now on, Xianyang Commander Zhang Han made outstanding contributions and was promoted to the post of Shaofu. Censor Su Mo was loyal to the country, and his heart is commendable, so he was specially promoted to be Minister of the Shaofu. Yushi Fanjian, loyal to The heart of the country is commendable, and it will be promoted to Zuofu Chancellor of the Shangji Mansion from now on; the censor is obedient, loyal to the country, his heart is commendable, from now on he will be promoted to lieutenant in charge, and three people including Er can come to the Yizheng Hall for consultation state affairs."

Li Si was taken aback, as expected, his guess was right, Ying Zheng deliberately promoted the Guanzhong family to deal with them.

But what happened next made him even more confused.

"The Prime Minister of the Left, Li Si, was loyal to the country, and he worked hard and made great achievements. He was named Taifu. The General Meng Tian, ​​who made outstanding contributions, was loyal to the country, and was named the Taibao; Wei Liao, who was loyal to the Great Qin, was specially named the Grand Master. The Prime Minister of the Right, Feng Quji, was loyal to the country. For your hard work and meritorious deeds, you will be granted the title of Marquis of Longxi, inherited from three generations! Zongzheng won the throne, devoted himself to serving the country, and for his hard work, he will be given the title of Marquis of Xianyang. This edict will be announced to the world at the time of the grand ceremony at the end of the volume tomorrow."

"Govern the state of Zheng in the internal history of the millet, build ditches for the Great Qin, control the water conservancy of the world's acres, and benefit the hundreds of millions of people in the Great Qin, and specially confer titles and elders; each dean of the Taiyuan Academy bestows the title of five great officials, and the foundry is built for me. Good weapons and fine armor, I am very relieved, those who are in charge will be bestowed with three levels of nobility, and those who are in charge will be bestowed with one level of nobility."

When the decree came out, everyone was shocked.

All the important officials of the Great Qin Dynasty were full of horror.

The previous promotion of Fan Jian, Su Mo and Fang Youcong knew from the arrival of these three people in this political hall that these three people would definitely be promoted to nobles, but they did not expect to be able to directly enter the political hall to discuss state affairs.

What surprised them even more was the series of adjustments made by Ying Zheng.

Taifu, Taibao, and Taishi, the three most prestigious official positions among all the official positions used since the Yin and Shang Dynasties until the Zhou Dynasty, appeared in Daqin at the same time, and no one knew what this represented.

When the country was first established, some people suggested using these three princes, but Yingzheng considered these three positions too noble, so he used the prime minister, Taiwei, and Yushi doctor to replace the three princes of Taifu, Taibao, and Taishi.

But now, Ying Zheng actually changed his mind and named the three of them as San Gong at once.

Isn't this the same as slapping yourself in the face?

Li Si, who served as the Zuo Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty for decades, has worked hard and made great achievements. Now he is managing the government for the emperor, so it is reasonable and reasonable to give Li Si a tutor.

Meng Tian, ​​who grew up with the first emperor since he was a child, loves brothers and sisters, recruited countless talented generals for the Great Qin, built the Great Wall, and attacked the Huns in the north. He is the de facto military No. 1 of the Great Qin.The Meng family is even more loyal to the royal family, and Meng Tian's noble temperament is known to the world. To bestow Mengtian the Taibao, no one in the whole Qin Dynasty, including the whole world, will object to it. Meng Tian deserves to be the Taibao.

However, Wei Liao was bestowed the title of Grand Master, which was beyond everyone's expectation.

Although Wei Liao tried his best to plan for Great Qin in the process of the first emperor's unification of the world, but based on the comparison of the strength of Great Qin and the other six countries at that time, even if Great Qin did not have Wei Liao, it was only a matter of time at most to unify the world.

Of course, under the premise that both Li Si and Meng Tian were conferred the titles of Grand Tutor and Taibao, and Wei Liao was also conferred the title of Grand Master, no one would open their eyes and point out that Wei Liao was not qualified to be the Grand Master.

It's just that everyone looked at Wei Liao with three points of strangeness and seven points of surprise in their eyes.

Even with Wei Liao's usual calmness, when he heard that he was conferred the title of Grand Master by the emperor, he couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

He knew very well that in terms of qualifications, compared with Li Si and Meng Tian, ​​he was indeed inferior, so it wasn't 01:30 points.But the emperor still put himself in the high position of grand master.

Is this a reward and recognition for yourself?

Wei Liao is hard to say.

But he is more willing to believe that Ying Zheng's move is a kind of recognition and reward for him.

In an instant, Wei Liao burst into tears.For the first time, he truly bowed to the emperor who lived above the hall.

At the same time, like him, there are also Li Si and others who have been sealed.

Compared with the imperial edict to enshrine the Sangong, every other purpose in the edict is a reorganization of Daqin's current interests and power.Everyone in the hall knows.But at this moment, it is obviously not valued by others.

But some people noticed a problem.

Li Si and others have all been promoted to official positions. Although they have received higher honorary positions, will they still serve as prime ministers and generals in the future?

Some people also found that for people like Li Si, who were unsealable, Fan Jian and the others gained the most from this court meeting.

The promotion of Fan Jian's three people is precisely to bring the old Qin family in Guanzhong, which has been drifting away from the core of power in the Great Qin for decades, back to the core of power in the Great Qin.

This is not only to win over the Guanzhong family, but also to gather the Guanzhong family who have been somewhat alienated and regroup around the Ying clan, and more importantly, it is for balance.Balance the disadvantages of Daqin's current emphasis on the outside and the lack of inside, and its unstable foundation.
