Chapter 6 Provoked Public Anger and Saved My Father
After Fusu came out of the palace, he went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as he entered the door, he was shocked.
I saw not only Li Si inside, but also Feng Quji, Yao Jia, Meng Yi and others.
It seems that except for Ying Zheng, this place is like a small court meeting.
After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly had a new idea.
With a smile on his face, Fusu raised his hands to everyone and said, "Everyone, Fusu is polite!"
Li Si and others also stood up and saluted Fusu: "I have met the eldest son."
"Everyone, please take a seat."
Fusu cupped his hands and said, "I am returning to Xianyang this time. I have been entrusted by the general to come to say hello. Please forgive me for disturbing your political affairs!"
Feng Quji supported Fusu's faction. Seeing Fusu being so polite, he quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't bother me, don't bother me. It's my honor for you, the eldest son, to come and see me."
Li Si frowned slightly, and then glanced at Yao Jia. The latter understood, and immediately smiled and cupped his hands and said: "The eldest son is back, so we don't have to worry about informing you about the Confucian case."
Fusu pretended not to know, "What about the Confucian case?"
Yao Jia patted the bamboo slips on the table and replied: "Reporting to the eldest son, the Confucianism case is a major case supervised by your Majesty personally. It involved a total of more than 700 people, 467 people were executed, and more than 200 people were forced to do corvee labor.
people."
With that said, he handed the bamboo slips to Fusu for review.
Fusu politely refused: "You are the pillars of our country, Da Qin. Fusu believes in your ability to handle political affairs. There is no need to read this briefing!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone smiled and their impression of Fusu became better and better.
Feng Quji's son Feng Jie was even more excited and said: "Eldest Young Master, you came back at the right time. This time you severely defeated those Confucian scholars who deceived the public with their lies!"
Yao Jia nodded in agreement: "If it weren't for Your Majesty's mercy, I would really like to report that all these more than 700 people would be killed!"
Meng Yi and Li Si looked at each other and remained silent.
Feng Quji smoothed his beard and looked at Fusu as if he were studying for a test: "What does the eldest son think of this matter?"
The purpose of his asking this was to let Fusu show off his ability to handle government affairs, but he did not expect that it would be self-defeating and drag Fusu into an abyss of eternal destruction.
Originally Fusu wanted to communicate with Li Si alone, but after hearing Feng Quji's question, he suddenly changed his attention and told everything in his mind.
"I think there's something wrong with this."
Feng Quji was stunned, and Li Si smiled and said, "If you have any opinions, eldest son, it's okay to say so."
Fusu said sternly: "Nowadays, our country in the Qin Dynasty is in troubled times. Killing a group of Confucian scholars and using torture will not only fail to set the record straight, but will also create unhappiness.
What's more, most of these Confucian scholars are pedantic and can't achieve great things, so why bother killing them all?"
"My eldest son, what you said is wrong!"
Before Li Si could speak, Yao Jia was the first to retort: "The pedantry of Confucian scholars is just superficial. Their harm is no less than that of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. As the eldest son knows, when the empire was first established, why did those Confucian scholars advocate the enfeoffment system?
They want Qin to follow the old path of Xia, Shang and Zhou and eventually fall apart!"
Fusu obviously didn't agree with Yao Jia's words, and said coldly: "Yao Tingwei's words are a bit alarmist. Although Da Qin adopts the system of prefectures and counties, we cannot deny the benefits of the enfeoffment system. Could it be because of academic differences, you have to remove it?"
Sooner or later?"
When Li Si heard this, he sneered in his heart and glanced at Feng Quji and his son, only to see that their cheeks were all black.
"Is the eldest son's statement deliberately intended to insult the veteran?"
Yao Jia was so angry that he puffed his beard and stared: "I am devoted to serving the country, why would I imprison myself for the sake of my sect?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions became extremely expressionless.
Fusu was completely unaware and continued: "If it is not the opinion of the sect, then we should directly admonish the emperor and explain the pros and cons of this case to Da Qin!"
When Li Si heard this, he couldn't help but frown: "What do you mean, eldest son?"
"I am not questioning my father's decision, but I feel that this case needs to be discussed!"
Feng Jie finally couldn't help but said: "Eldest Young Master, our country in Great Qin governs the country by law. Confucian cases should be handled according to the laws of Great Qin. How can we disturb the law due to foreign affairs? I boldly advise the eldest Young Master to study the ways of Shang and Han.
Don’t go astray!”
Fusu narrowed his eyes: "So, there is no room for maneuver in the matter of cheating Confucianism?"
Li Si said sternly: "I cannot do anything that violates the law!"
"In that case, Fusu takes leave."
Seeing that everyone was unmoved, Fusu sighed secretly, turned around and left.
Looking at Fusu's leaving figure, Li Si said calmly: "What do you think of this matter?"
Everyone was silent when they heard the words.
Although Fusu was not named a prince, he was actually no different from a prince. His political views were contrary to those of the ministers, and the influence was not insignificant.
After a while, Yao Jia sighed heavily, cupped his hands towards Feng Quji and said: "Right Minister Feng, this matter is not trivial. I think we should report it to His Majesty!"
Feng Quji glanced at Li Si, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded helplessly.
.........
at the same time.
Ying Zheng was sitting in the study, looking at the amoxicillin in the box.
Over the years, he has taken a lot of weird pills, but he has never seen a pill like this one that is half blue and half white.
At the same time, he could be sure that this medicine was definitely not refined by Zhao Kun.
"It wasn't refined by Zhao Kun...then who refined it?"
Ying Zheng was a little surprised and suddenly remembered that Zhao Kun could read minds.
"Could it be that that boy really knows the magic of immortals? This medicine was also transformed by magic?"
Ying Zheng shook his head, feeling that this idea was a bit ridiculous.
After all, he still knows about his son's misdeeds.
It is better to believe that Zhao Kun can know magic than to believe that Xu Fu can find the elixir.
However, when Xu Fu left, he comforted Ying Zheng and said that if he returned late, God would send noble people to help him survive until he returned to Qin with the elixir.
"It's just...where is this noble man?"
When Ying Zheng thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and immediately closed the box and prepared to continue reviewing the memorial.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
Ying Zheng looked up and saw Feng Quji and others coming in a hurry.
"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!" Feng Quji led the crowd to salute.
"Your Majesty, please excuse me."
Ying Zheng waved his hand, and at the same time looked at Feng Quji with some confusion: "Feng Aiqing, you guys came together, could something big happen?"
Feng Quji: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I am here for the sake of our Great Qin's eternal foundation!"
Ying Zheng frowned and did not answer.
But I heard Li Si say: "The eldest son came to the Prime Minister's Mansion today to discuss politics with the ministers. There were some ambiguities. The ministers are very worried. I hope your majesty will make a clear decision!"
When Ying Zheng heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he asked coldly: "What did he say to you?"
Yao Jia glanced at Li Si and carefully repeated what Fusu said.
"This traitor!"
After Ying Zheng heard this, he shouted angrily, his chest heaving up and down, violent coughs ensued, and his face turned purple.
"His Majesty!"
The ministers shouted urgently and called the imperial doctor.
At this time, Ying Zheng was almost out of breath. Just when his eyes were turning black, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
He opened the box subconsciously, grabbed two capsules and swallowed them in one gulp.
"Your Majesty, no!" Meng Yi and others were horrified and quickly stretched out their hands to stop, but it was too late.
Ying Zheng was also stunned and took medicine indiscriminately due to his illness.
Although he believed that his son would not harm him, the medicine the emperor took needed to be tested before he could take it.
Now that the medicine has been taken, I can only resign myself to fate.
However, as the First Emperor, he naturally could not show his timidity in front of his ministers.
After calming down his mind, Ying Zheng raised his hand to signal everyone not to panic, and then ordered as if nothing had happened: "Publish my decree, Fusu does not understand the overall situation, is stubborn, and disrupts the state affairs;
