Chapter 3 The first step to change(1/2)
Shangjun.
When Fusu got the news, he burst into tears.
Father finally stopped being angry and wanted to call me back.
What are you going to do just to collect the treasures of heaven and earth?
It is not advisable to waste people and money!
No, I want to play...
Meng Tian on the side had a black line on his forehead and quickly stopped Fusu from this unrealistic idea.
"My eldest son, it's just some foreign wealth. Don't you deserve it, your majesty?"
Fusu looked like he couldn't accept it: "General, you actually agreed to my father's request?"
Meng Tian nodded heavily: "For the sake of the eldest son, this matter must be done, even if it offends him!"
Before Fusu could reply, Meng Tian shouted: "Come here, immediately send people to various places in the north to collect heavenly materials and earthly treasures. If your majesty wants to use them, do it quickly."
After saying that, he apologized to Fusu and walked out of the tent.
If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that he would beat Fusu if he couldn't help himself.
It's a sin, this is a treasonous thing.
My family has been loyal for generations, so my reputation cannot be ruined in my hands.
......
Xianyang, Zhengshi Hall.
After receiving Ying Zheng's order, the right minister Feng Quji, the state captain Meng Wu, and the imperial censor Feng Jie were first shocked and then overjoyed.
Feng Jie burst into tears: "God has eyes, Your Majesty has finally woken up, and our Great Qin can still last another five hundred years!"
The corners of Meng Wu's mouth twitched: "Sir, this is an exaggeration!"
Feng Quji said: "How can this be called an exaggeration! Without mentioning this, we should now step up our efforts to convey His Majesty's orders so that the people can know His Majesty's kindness!"
"It's extreme!"
"Would it not be appropriate to just be exempt from taxes for half a year? After all, there are too many people participating in corvee!"
"Just ask Nei Shiteng, he is familiar with finance."
Only then did Nei Shiteng rush in and shouted: "It's just half a year's tax. I, Da Qin, can afford it, so I agree!"
After him, Jiuqing also arrived one after another.
In addition to Li Si, the two princes and nine ministers of the court gathered together and quickly drafted the decree and announced it to the whole country.
With the issuance of the decree, people across the country were excited, and countless people rushed to tell each other.
Finally, I don’t have to suffer the pain of Yao service frequently anymore!
"Son! His Majesty has decreed that you can finally come back!"
There was an octogenarian who looked up to the sky and cried out, tears streaming down his face.
"Could it be a lie? Is that tyrant Ying Zheng so kind? Is he exempt from paying taxes for half a year?"
Some Confucian scholars were full of doubts.
"The government decree is almost thrown in your face, don't you know how to look at it!"
"No, what the nerd said makes sense, hurry up and read it to us word for word!"
When the people heard what he said, they were afraid that what they heard was false, so they dragged the Confucian scholar who was speaking to the table and slapped the order on his face.
Confucian scholars did not dare not read it and burst into tears, not because they were moved, but because they were hurt.
When the decree was passed throughout the country, Li Xin, Zhang Han, and Wang Li also led their troops on the road to find talents.
Although I don’t understand Ying Zheng’s intention, it is right to carry out the orders of the First Emperor.
At this time, in the Sishui Pavilion of Peixian County, a certain pavilion director named Liu was wandering on the street. Suddenly he felt cold all over and had palpitations, as if something bad was about to happen.
At the same time, after learning about the decree, the nobles of the old six countries who were hiding in secret beat their chests and stamped their feet, as if they had missed a good opportunity.
As long as the First Emperor is here, the Qin Empire will be there.
The ancients never deceived others.
A month later, Ying Zheng finally arrived in Xianyang.
As soon as he arrived, he immediately held a court meeting.
"We sincerely welcome your Majesty back to the palace, may your Majesty live forever!"
Under the throne, Fusu, Meng Tian, Sangong and Jiuqing, etc., always responded.
But when they looked up again and saw the rejuvenated First Emperor, they were all shocked and pale.
Could it be that Your Majesty has really found your destiny?
Ying Zheng smiled domineeringly: "My dear friends, you have worked hard these days!"
"It's an honor to serve His Majesty, not hard work!"
Feng Quji was full of doubts. When he saw Li Si standing aside with no reaction, he immediately went to Yingzheng to respond on behalf of all officials.
Seeing that he was about to speak but hesitated, Ying Zheng became upset and laughed loudly: "Doctor, if you have something to say, just speak up!"
Feng Quji gritted his teeth and said, "Why did your Majesty return to his old age?"
Ying Zheng chuckled and said calmly: "This matter will be discussed later. Today, the meeting will mainly announce a few things."
"First, from now on, Li Si will step down from the position of Prime Minister Zuo and be replaced by Feng Chang. The candidate for Prime Minister Zuo will be decided after discussion."
As soon as this statement came out, all the officials were in an uproar. They never expected that they would receive such heavy news as soon as they came to court.
Feng Quji was shocked: "Your Majesty, what mistake did Prime Minister Zuo make to deserve such treatment?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Li Si was relieved. Regardless of his own injuries, he fell to the ground in deep admiration and choked up:
"I thank your Majesty for your kindness in not killing me, and thank you for your kindness. I am so ashamed!"
Hum!
Ying Zheng glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "He almost participated in Zhao Gao and Hu Hai's rebellion. I don't want to kill him because of his hard work and merits. I should be satisfied!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly condensed into a terrible silence.
Only then did everyone realize that Zhao Gao, who had been with Ying Zheng all year round, was missing.
Fusu broke the silence with an exclamation: "Father, how could the eighteenth brother rebel? Is there a misunderstanding in this?"
Ying Zheng looked at the cheap "silly son" in front of him and said quietly: "No misunderstanding, when he planned with Zhao Gao, the first person he wanted to kill was you!"
Fusu was startled, but Ying Zheng's words blocked his plea.
He is pedantic and stupid, but not stupid.
Fusu Nana said: "What about the eighteenth brother?"
Ying Zheng wrote lightly: "If you die, you will be demoted to the common people and buried on the spot in the sand dunes!"
"As for Zhao Gao, the Yi tribe!"
"This is the first thing I want to say today, Tingwei Mansion, send someone to handle it immediately."
"Yes!"
Upon hearing the order, Tingwei became murderous and immediately led his people out of the political hall.
Seeing him leaving, Ying Zheng said: "The second thing is that from now on, Fusu will be the crown prince."
As soon as these words came out, Fu Sudeng was shocked and looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief.
"Your Majesty is wise, your Majesty will last ten thousand years, and the Qin Dynasty will last ten thousand years!"
Others reacted quickly, especially those who supported Fusu.
The surprise came so suddenly that they all cheered.
Among them, Chun Yuyue, Fusu’s original teacher, was the most exaggerated, almost hoarse.
"Eldest son, thank you quickly!"
Meng Tian pulled Fu Su's sleeve with a look of surprise.
Fusu finally woke up and hurriedly said: "Thank you very much, father. I will do my best to share my father's worries!"
Ying Zheng smiled strangely: "You really still need to exercise!
From now on, in addition to Meng Tian, your teachers will also include Han Xin, Xiao He, Wei Liao, Chen Ping and the veteran general Wang Jian."
Han Xin was young and knew the military, Xiao He knew the politics, Chen Ping was scheming and ruthless, Wang Jian was mature and cautious, and Wei Liao was the one he was about to select as the commander-in-chief, and he was the master of military skills.
With these people here, he didn't believe Fusu couldn't help him.
Fusu was stunned for a moment, but before he could speak, Chunyu Yue spoke anxiously:
To be continued...
