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

Chapter 564
Chapter 584
But Feng Qu died suddenly, and the political structure of Qin State changed.

Xiao He, Cao Can and others entered the court one after another, but Ying Zheng did not immediately arrange for someone to fill the position vacated by Feng Quji.

On the third day after Feng Quji's funeral was all dealt with, Feng Jie took the initiative to ask Ying Zheng to see him.

Compared with his father Feng Quji, although Feng Jie is very young, he looks much older after this incident.

"Your Majesty is welcome!"

"Be flat!"

Ying Zheng waved his hands, walked up to the emperor's throne in the study, and sat down.

Relying on Ying Gang's elixir, the years also didn't seem to leave any marks on Ying Zheng's face, his appearance didn't change at all, except that his aura was deeper than before.

But Feng Jie didn't dare to think like this.

He knows better than anyone that the emperor in front of him, who seems to be about the same age, is a little less sharp than before, but he is more restrained. Only when you really touch him, you can find out, In the whole world, in fact, nothing could escape the eyes of the young emperor.

"What's the matter with Ai Qing coming here?"

"Because of the death of my father, I feel that I am physically weak, and it is really difficult to bear the important affairs of the country. I ask Your Majesty to allow me to retire and return to my hometown."

Strictly speaking, Feng Jie himself is not a person who loves power.The reason why Feng Quji started to gamble the whole family and even would rather bear the abuse and hatred of all noble families in Daqin, in fact, apart from gaining some benefits in front of Yingzheng, what he did was more for the preservation of Feng's clan And competing with Li Si as the starting point.

And the same is true for his son Feng Jie.

Feng Quji began to serve as the Prime Minister of Qin when he was in his 40s. During this period, he was suppressed by Li Si for more than ten years. Even with the help of his son, a censor, he could only face Li Si. Only able to protect themselves.

Except for Meng Tian, ​​who was trusted by Ying Zheng as his arm, the whole world knew that apart from Zhao Gao, the emperor trusted most, the left prime minister Li Si remained.

at this point.This can be seen from the fact that the First Emperor married his eldest daughter to Li You and successively gave marriage to Princess Da Qin to Li Si's other two sons.Not only that, the First Emperor even personally proposed to Li Si for his favorite eighteenth prince.

Although Hu Hai's marriage failed in the end, the glory of the Li family can also be seen.

Although the Li family declined due to Li Si's death, they still grew up quickly by relying on the big tree of Yingzheng.

Afterwards, Feng Jie was taken from the position of Doctor Yushi, and Feng Quji and his son once thought that the emperor had given up on his Feng clan.

But no one thought of it.Things are so wonderful.Li Si made frequent tricks, and finally committed suicide in desperation.Let Feng Quji see the day when he surpassed Li Si again.

Now, Feng Quji is gone, and all the pressure from the Feng clan has been placed on Feng Jie, which makes Feng Jie feel a little uneasy.

Although I am not very old, I am considered very old among the courtiers of the Qin State. If these old people are too greedy for power, will the second emperor feel that they are too greedy?
"Why did Aiqing suddenly retire? I don't think you are old at all."

"The old minister dare not! Your Majesty, the old minister's father passed away, and he feels that his health is getting worse every day. Now that the government affairs of the court are getting better and better, he feels that his energy cannot keep up with the government. Meng Tian, ​​Dunwei and Li You are so energetic The young man is competent, and the minister continues to occupy a high position, lest he delay the government affairs of the court, please give your majesty permission!"

"Hehe, what does Aiqing think about my Daqin affairs in the past few years?"

Ying Zheng did not continue to tangle with Feng Jie on this issue, but changed the subject and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty is wise. In recent years, the weather in my Great Qin has been favorable. The twelve major official warehouses in the court have all been filled with warehouses. Six warehouses such as Guilin and Kuaiji have been newly established. After the autumn harvest this year, I am afraid that the warehouses will also be full. Prosperous, newly cultivated land is several times as much as three years ago, it is indeed the age of my great Qin Dynasty."

What Feng Jie said was completely true.

The latest census shows that the population of Daqin has increased by 3000%, to nearly [-] million.

And this year, the Ministry of Household Affairs will conduct a census after the autumn harvest. It is expected that the total population of Daqin will exceed the 4000 million mark.These Hu Hai are naturally clear.

"Because of this, I will not agree to Aiqing's resignation!"

Ying Zheng looked at the excited Feng Jie and said calmly.

Then he seemed to think of something and added: "Not only will I not let Ai Qing go, but I will use it again."

Feng Jie was taken aback, speechless for a long time.

Since Feng Quji's death, Emperor Yingzheng of the Great Qin Dynasty has not proposed a new candidate.People like Yao Jia, Hu Wujing and others who had always had great fantasies about this also gradually extinguished their extravagant hopes.

The Yushifu has been restricted by the emperor to exercise power, that is, the Yushifu can only impeach the corruption and lawlessness of the royal family and family members down to the ninth-rank officials.The right to play rumors in Yushifu was quietly given away by the emperor after the emergence of the system of three provinces and six ministries.

"I plan to set up a cabinet auxiliary government office. From now on, the Daqin should give memorials and state affairs to the cabinet auxiliary government office. It will also govern the three provinces and six ministries of the imperial court. The county memorials and all affairs in the world will be decided by the cabinet auxiliary government office." If the cabinet ministers have disagreements and cannot reach an agreement, a voting system will be adopted to decide whether it is feasible based on the number of people. If the overwhelming majority agrees, the Cabinet Office will sign and write the three provinces and six ministries, and the six ministries will implement it, and report it to me. If the auxiliary minister still cannot reach a resolution after voting, the auxiliary minister must report the whole matter to His Majesty the Emperor in detail, and the Emperor will make a decision! The Cabinet Auxiliary Council only involves political affairs and not military aircraft. All military affairs of the Qin Dynasty and the deployment of all armies are Act according to the original law.”

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, how many people are there in the Cabinet and Administrative Yuan?"

"Set 120 people first."

Feng Jie was a little dazed.

The 120 ministers of the cabinet office, even if it is a trivial matter, the cabinet office will argue for days or even dozens of days.

Does this work?
"Then do these people have any requirements?"

"At least it must be from a distinguished family."

From this point on, it basically blocked the access of many wealthy families with insufficient status to enter the cabinet.However, this move made the noble family, which had only had all their fiefdoms taken back, burst into tears of gratitude to Ying Zheng.

"The only role or power of the cabinet to participate in politics is that when the cabinet has doubts about a certain political proposal of the court or believes that a certain political proposal is not conducive to the people or the country, then the impeachment procedure can be initiated. The basic requirements for initiating the impeachment procedure Yes, more than half of the cabinet members have jointly signed a letter to me. At this time, a cabinet meeting will be held, and I will and must attend it in person. If the cabinet members still have doubts or disagreements, then the 120 members of the cabinet There will be a vote on this political proposal in three days. And for all of this, I still need your assistance."

Feng Jie was a doctor of imperial history before, so it is the most suitable thing to do this job.
