Chaotic Qin

Ying Zheng met Qin Zichu's suddenly wide eyes, laughed happily and kissed him on the lips, then turned and walked towards the main hall.

Walking out of the apse, Ying Zheng put away the smile on his face.

Prince Chu of Qin was seriously ill and was unable to handle state affairs. Although the crown prince supervised the country, Yingzheng had always handled government affairs on behalf of Qin Zichu, which caused the ministers to have many bad guesses.

After Qin Zichu handwritten the edict of the Zen position, the minds of the courtiers became more active.

Many ministers speculated that the lord was forced to abdicate, but considering the rationality of Yingzheng's succession, no one was willing to stand out to dislike others.

Yingzheng's succession to the throne can be said to be smooth, but the reputation is extremely poor.

In addition, the first battle report after Yingzheng ascended the throne was that Wang Jian failed to capture the land of Baiyue. No matter how outstanding Yingzheng was in supervising the country before, the ministers still couldn't help but doubt the ability of the new king.

Ying Zheng was aware of the hesitation of the courtiers, but to him, this was not a problem at all.

It was time for Yingzheng to reap the fruits of the tasks assigned for a year and a half.

He walked into the main hall with a calm expression, and the ministers immediately knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Master."

Knowing that no one dared to look up at him, Ying Zheng nodded, and said in a voice full of control, "Get flat."

Ying Zheng walked to the most honored seat and sat down, his eyes swept around the hall.

Li Sichong showed a sneer at Han Fei, and immediately kowtowed to Yingzheng with a submissive smile on his face, "My lord, the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty have been revised for many days. I don't know when the engraving will be published?"

Han Fei felt a little contemptuous of Li Si's ingratiating behavior, so he sat in his seat and didn't interrupt the matter.

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and said in a slightly rewarding tone: "Very good. Since you are so concerned about this matter, Li Si will be responsible for the engraving and printing. The widow will give you a handwritten letter, and you can call Xianyang as you like." There are hundreds of workers in the city."

Li Si lowered his head to hide the smug smile on the corner of his mouth, kowtowed very reverently, and said tentatively, "Then... Royal paper...?"

Ying Zheng said generously: "After the engraving, send it up for everyone to read. If the font is beautiful, go directly to get the paper."

"Yes, Lord." Li Si responded excitedly and returned to his original position.

After Li Si finished his conversation with Ying Zheng, Han Fei said unhurriedly, "My lord, if, if there is nothing wrong with the Great Qin Law, I will send people to distribute it to the officials of various counties and counties, and order them to Do your best to read it as soon as possible to understand the difference from the past, so that everyone in the world will know the kindness of the king."

Although Han Fei was stuttering, his words were obviously much more focused than Li Si's.

The deep pride hidden in Li Si's eyes disappeared in an instant.

Compared with Han Fei, who has the world in his heart, what he just did looks like a courtier!

Ying Zheng was also satisfied with Han Fei's proposal.

He nodded, and said bluntly: "Ting Wei said it is very true, just do what Ting Wei said."

"Yes, Lord." After finishing speaking, Han Fei retreated directly to his seat without even looking at Li Si, his expression was full of arrogance.

Li Si was so angry that his face turned pale!

Ying Zheng saw it clearly, but he pretended not to know about the rivalry between Li Si and Han Fei, and only slowly scanned the ministers in the main hall with his deep eyes.

But the sight of the 22-year-old emperor made them all kneel down involuntarily, not daring to look directly.

None of the ministers knew that Yingzheng's powerful aura was honed out of countless plots, tricks and battles.

He walked step by step and achieved incomparable achievements, and it was these achievements that were fed back to Ying Zheng who was already invincible, making him more confident and powerful, unmatched by anyone.

After finally leaving the court, the ministers gathered together in twos and threes, talking in low voices about the king who just made his heart constrict.

Feng Quji and Zhangli are both senior ministers, and they are very low-key.

But at this time, Feng Quji leaned over to Zhang Li's side, and refused to leave.

With a warm smile on his face, he lowered his voice and said, "Zhang Li Xiangguo, I am very confused about one thing, and I ask Xiangguo to explain it to me."

Zhang Li walked out in a steady manner, and replied in a low voice: "Oh? You and I are officials in the same dynasty. Is there anything Feng Xiangguo can't see clearly? Do you need to ask the old man?"

Feng Quji scolded Zhangli as an old fox in a low voice, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.

He said with a sincere look: "In the past two years, you have been so aggressive in recruiting the world's sages, do you seem to have other plans?"

Zhang Li thought about it for a moment, and after considering the gains and losses, he replied: "This matter, I just have a guess in my heart. The king has a deep mind and has no brothers. I can't be sure if I think so."

Feng Quji showed a little eagerness in his eyes, and hurriedly said: "Then Xiangguo guessed the meaning of the king...?"

Zhang Li couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and tapped Feng Quji twice, and said softly: "Deputy Prime Minister Feng is too careful, the old man's words have reached this point, why are you pretending to know nothing?"

Feng Quji had no choice but to lose his anxious and ignorant expression, and laughed a few times in embarrassment.

He lowered his voice and said, "Is the lord really planning to set up counties here?"

Zhangli couldn't help sighing, and said calmly: "The Taishang King was not close to his brothers at the beginning, and you know why he was sent to Zhao as a hostage. Therefore, it is reasonable for the Taishang King not to reward brothers generously." There is no blame for the things in the middle of the country. When the king came here, he didn't even have brothers and sisters. He was taught by King Zhaoxiang and King Taishang in turn since he was a child, and he didn't have any close cousins. Their blood relationship is too far away. Lah, there is no deep brotherhood—still sealing up the country? Isn’t sealing up the country a replay of the chaos of the princes of the Zhou Dynasty!”

Feng Quji thought so too.

However, the establishment of prefectures and counties without closing the country will obviously be criticized by many people.

Once he became famous, he forgot about the brothers who are connected by blood. In any case, it is not a kind thing. If it is spread, it may be used by the survivors of the six countries who destroyed the country.

When Feng Quji thought about it, a bitter look appeared on his face.

Since the time when the lord of the country was still the crown prince in charge of the country, his whole body has shown the tenacity to keep what he says. As long as things are correct, he doesn't care about all criticisms.

Right now, the king has already ascended the throne, and no one can dissuade him.

In particular, Feng Quji himself was in favor of the prefecture and county system, so he really had no way of dissuading the ruler against his will, saying that closing the country would be more conducive to appeasing the local people.

After hesitating for a while, Feng Quji saw that Zhang Li looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

He felt a chill in his heart, knowing that the affairs of prefectures and counties are almost inseparable, and I am afraid that the lord of the country even told Zhangli himself!

Feng Quji secretly slandered Zhang Li for being unethical, but hurriedly said: "I also think it's great not to seal the country."

Zhang Li nodded, and said gently: "Yes, anyway, there was already a habit of dividing counties and counties a hundred years ago, and it is really a good thing to be able to reset counties and counties and divide them into different places for the king to dispatch officials in a unified manner. things."

With Zhang Li's words reassuring him, Feng Quji immediately understood that the king's announcement of the resettlement of counties might be imminent.

Now that the king's intentions have been clearly stated, and he also feels that this matter is correct and feasible, what is there to shirk?

Feng Quji immediately expressed his attitude clearly, and said bluntly: "If the lord of the country is willing to announce this matter, Feng Quji will definitely support it with all his strength."

Zhang Li smiled gently, then raised his voice and cupped his hands: "Okay, okay, the old man will definitely come to visit someday, to taste the rice wine brewed by the deputy prime minister's little granddaughter."

The smile on Feng Quji's face froze instantly, and he almost cursed: Zhang Li, you old bastard!The grandson who looks like a little ruffian at home dares to miss my most proud granddaughter!

After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Congratulations to the Prime Minister—the children in your family don't have to follow."

Zhang Li said with a cheeky smile: "Hey, my husband has many children, and there are also good children. The deputy prime minister need not be nervous."

Several grandsons went out to play together, and accidentally bumped into Feng Quji's granddaughter, and then they all restrained their anger and started to forge ahead, preparing for the imperial examination, Zhang Li decided not to tell Feng Quji.

Haha, let the colleagues who always put on a calm and reliable face on weekdays worry about it for a while!

In the Xianyang Palace, the principal and deputy ministers of the Qin State had reached a consensus for Yingzheng to thoroughly implement the prefecture and county system, and started to contact the close ministers.

The news quickly swept through the center of Qin State with a secretive and unstoppable momentum.

Li Si, who is good at managing contacts, also learned the news without any effort.

He couldn't help touching his chin, which had begun to grow a beard to look more stable and reliable, and started to draft in his mind.

As Li Si thought about it, a smile gradually appeared on his face.

He said in his heart: At present, the king has not made it clear, and the officials are still vaguely allowing the king to send officials to various places. Once the system of prefectures and counties is publicly proposed, it will definitely cause a huge shock in the court.

Although the system of prefectures and counties had been implemented in the Seven Kingdoms many years ago, the people have long been accustomed to the ancient feudal system since ancient times.

The princes with fixed inheritance will make the people find a strong cohesion, while the officials who are frequently transferred will be like a tight rope around the head, making the people fear all the time.

The Great Qin has gone through four generations of kings, and it was not until recently that the six kingdoms were completely destroyed.

If the ruler wants to change the feudal system with great fanfare, the resistance will definitely be far beyond imagination, but combined with the imperial examination system mentioned by the ruler, the benefits of it almost make Li Si shudder!

This is their chance to be promoted to the court in one fell swoop, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

But now, if the lord of the country wants to completely implement the county system, he will definitely encounter huge opposition.

Thinking of this, Li Si twitched the corner of his mouth and showed a sneer, and suddenly said to himself in a low voice: "My group of senior brothers, I am afraid that many people are opposed to this matter. Hehe, I don't know if Han Fei will you or not?" Will you compromise?"

But as long as Han Fei compromised because of favors, the opportunity to bring him down would come again.

Li Si is bound to win the position of court lieutenant of Jiuqing!

With the order of the lord, Li Si recruited the best engraving craftsmen effortlessly, and his elegant and graceful handwriting was quickly displayed on the engraving board by the craftsmen.

In just over a month, Li Si swaggered up to the court hall with a group of palace servants holding "Great Qin Law" engraved with Qin Li.

He knelt down in front of Yingzheng, and said triumphantly, "Please take a look at it, the "Law of the Great Qin Dynasty" has been engraved!"

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and said unexpectedly: "Oh? So fast?! Pass it up, let the widows take a look."

The servant immediately stepped forward with the engravings and showed them to Ying Zheng one by one.

Ying Zheng has always been a person who likes perfection. In other words, he has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he feels uncomfortable when he sees any content that is out of balance.

Seeing such a beautiful engraving appear in front of his eyes, Ying Zheng couldn't help but relax a lot, and looked up at Li Si with admiration.

"This matter is very well done, very good." Ying Zheng praised Li Si unabashedly, but changed the subject and said directly, "It seems that apart from Tingwei, all the doctors are studying Confucianism, right? "

Li Si didn't wait to show complacent eyes, his back was already drenched in sweat from fright.

He couldn't help but think of the rumors that had been circulating among courtiers and scholars these days-the king wanted to abolish the feudal system!

The most dissatisfied with this rumor are the Confucian scholars who would call out "Fa Xianwang" at every turn. What's worse is that Li Si's brothers and sisters are almost all Confucian scholars.

Li Si kept roaring in his heart: Did these bastards do something to implicate me? !

But at this moment, he could only wipe the cold sweat off his forehead, and replied anxiously: "Master Hui, my teacher is Xun Kuang, and naturally most of my brothers and sisters are Confucian students."

Ying Zheng gave a soft "hmm" with an unclear expression, then waved his hand, and calmly ordered: "Print "Da Qin Law" into a book and send it to various places, with a hundred yuan coin per book."

Ying Zheng said, squinting his eyes and showing a faint smile: "For the coins of other countries, ten copper coins are exchanged for one yuan, regardless of gold."

As soon as Ying Zheng's words came out, the faces of the ministers in the hall immediately showed an uncontrollable level of astonishment. Their eyes widened. After a strange silence, a heated discussion immediately broke out in the hall.

Zhang Li frowned and said first, "Why doesn't the lord send officials to Yan, Wei, Qi, and Chu to exchange coins at equal prices like the Supreme King? Isn't it too urgent to do so?"

He is not opposed to Yingzheng's approach, but the hearts of the people in the four countries are still unstable.

Because of Yingzheng's hatred for letting the survivors destroy the country, it is extremely difficult to promote Qin's yuan coins in these four countries that have not long been conquered. No one is willing to use them at all. Fingers crossed.

Ying Zheng smiled slightly, and said in a tone that was so cold that it made people tremble all over, contrary to the expression on his face: "If they have no idea of ​​using yuan money, why would they want to work for my Daqin?"

Qin Zichu sat in the back hall, showing a proud smile.

Yingzheng's methods of handling coin circulation and imperial examination personnel were much better than he expected.

He blinked, feeling his heart burning.

...Suddenly, she wanted to hold the best man in the world in her arms and kiss his lips wantonly.
