Chapter Thirty-Three People Change Because of Power
"I... I, Ying Cheng really said that?"
The First Emperor almost vomited out what he had just eaten and asked the eunuch who came to report again in disbelief.
I have just finished eating and am ready to go out to eat.
But after listening to this report, he felt that now was not a good time to eat.
"Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao, convey my will. I am tired and sleeping. I don't see anyone."
"No matter who comes, I will stop them all."
"I definitely can't stay in Zhenghe Palace anymore. Let's go to the harem and move to...Yuehua Palace."
The First Emperor felt like he was going to be pissed to death.
In terms of rules and procedures, Ying Cheng does not handle things this way.
But he can't suppress it now.
When the three armies go out to fight, they will be as strong as a tiger at one blow, and then weaken again; and they will be exhausted after three.
If he rubs Ying Cheng's spirit now.
As soon as the legislation is enacted, it will be hit like never before.
But when he thought about Ying Cheng's attitude in doing things, one after another his close ministers came to complain about impeachment.
That scene was not as easy to deal with as it had been before when the Zongzheng Mansion and the Chu Clan forced the palace.
It was said before that Po Tian, no matter how hard he tried to force him into the palace, would not be able to shake his foundation at all.
But if it was Li Si, Feng Quji, Meng Yi, etc., it would be impossible for him to remove them directly.
For example, although Li Si himself has some minor flaws, he is loyal to him and is a confidant. He has not made any serious mistake of treason. Why would he want to cut his own foundation?
Let's talk about Meng Yi. He has been loyal and good for three generations, and no one can erase his achievements. To touch such a close minister is not to shake the world of Qin.
So hide away for now and let go of your anger before talking!
…
The First Emperor ran away.
Xianyang Palace was suddenly in a state of panic.
Li Si was eating in the prime minister's office when his face twitched.
Watching the appointment of him as the counselor of the Dalu Palace, he urged him to mobilize officials as soon as possible to supplement the imperial edicts of the Dalu Palace.
Li Si couldn't help but ask the official who came to convey the decree: "Are you sure there is no problem with this process?"
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, there is no problem!" the official who conveyed the decree replied respectfully.
"It's too fast, it's really too fast. It shouldn't, shouldn't be so fast!" Li Si was still shaking his head.
Imperial edicts are different from political documents.
For the government documents handled by the Prime Minister's Office, some matters that are not very important and have little impact can be dealt with directly by his annotation and sealing on the spot.
But the Prime Minister's Office has no right to interfere with the imperial edict.
That's why he muttered, no matter how fast it was, it couldn't be this fast.
In Great Qin, there was only one edict that could be issued so quickly.
That was a wartime military order. His Majesty the First Emperor personally wrote the order and issued it directly, ignoring all procedures.
In addition, even if the angry Majesty the First Emperor wants to confiscate his family and annihilate his ancestors, he must go through the process.
In Da Qin.
There are four types of documents personally issued by the emperor.
System, edict, order, order.
The order is a direct order from the First Emperor.
An edict is a written order issued by the First Emperor.
The order was issued orally by the First Emperor.
The First Emperor issued an order to summon all ministers and generals and name them.
Among them, imperial edicts were orders of the imperial will that were formed after discussions in the court and the decision of the First Emperor.
This is also the most formal, formal and effective imperial edict document.
This kind of document.
Because there is a process to follow.
It can't be so fast.
unless!
This is possible without any time delay and is processed as soon as it arrives!
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, it is said that Dalu Ling personally supervised the matter. He received the imperial edict from the Yushi Mansion and met with His Majesty, and then returned to the Yushi Mansion after a short while."
"Then I personally came to the doctor's mansion with the imperial edict."
"My lord was angry about this, but the great law order was not reasonable at all, and he directly captured Mr. Jiang Yi, the commander of Zuo Lang, and said:
‘I want this official in Dalu Mansion’
Dalu Ling also threatened, "Hurry up and give me the documents. There are three thousand black-armored guards in front of the Dalu Mansion. If you don't give them to me, I will demolish the Langzhong Ling's Mansion."
'If you have any objections, go and impeach me, and ask your majesty to order my dog's head to be beheaded. If you can't do it, just shut up and obey.'
How dare my lords delay, so I issued an edict and hurriedly sent it to the three princes and each government."
The officials also complained with a great purpose, and in front of Li Si, they could be said to have completely replicated Ying Cheng's domineering behavior.
You don’t even need to add oil or vinegar.
This is extremely outrageous in itself.
"Huh, okay, I know the truth, let's get going!"
After listening, Li Si took a long breath.
He lowered his head to look at the edict document in his hand, couldn't help but shook his head and muttered:
"The fierce dragon crosses the river and is dormant in all the seas!"
Legalism became the stepping stone for Yingcheng to be promoted to Dalu Ling.
Now there is no doubt that Lang Zhongling's mansion has become Ying Cheng's whetstone.
But he didn't know who would become Ying Cheng's soul stone.
There will always be people who can't sit still.
"Tell everyone, please be quiet these days. If this fire burns to my head in the Legal family, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Shortly after the officials left, Li Si hesitated in place for a long time and issued an extremely serious order to all the officials of the legal system group.
In Xianyang Palace, a sharp cold wind blew.
It’s less than an hour before the end of the morning session.
The edict, which was supposed to be issued only early the next morning, was placed on the desks of each government.
No one expected that this edict would be issued so quickly.
Because the order was issued faster than anyone imagined.
A dark cloud hung over everyone's heads.
More importantly.
Faced with Ying Cheng's flagrant behavior of disrupting the court, the First Emperor did not stop him or even avoided seeing him.
This is an extremely obvious policy orientation.
…
Fusu Mansion.
Fusu was sitting in the lobby angrily. At this time, his attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees and he asked in surprise:
"Are you saying that the traitor did all this for me?"
"I insulted the law in the Prime Minister's Palace and was sent to Tingwei Prison to completely lose my power?
Secretly guiding the Zongzheng Mansion and the Chu Clan Group to force me to be crown prince. For this reason, my father was angered and dismissed the Eleventh Prince. The Chu Clan Group was completely squeezed out of the court. Is this a plan for me?
Are you saying that my father doesn’t want me to ascend to the position of crown prince with the support of Confucianism from the Zongzheng Mansion and the Chu Clan?
Therefore, the Xianfeng Hall was implicated, and the father ordered the dissolution of the Xianfeng Hall and expelled Teacher Chun and Teacher Shusun?
The reason for re-establishing the Qin Law is so that I can have a fresh start and re-establish the layout of the court?"
Li Xian told Fusu everything that happened in the past few days.
She hopes.
Fusumo wanted to live up to his son's hard work.
Now that Yingcheng has great power, it is time to reshuffle the court structure.
Three days later, Fusu Mansion celebrated the promotion of its eldest son, and no one could find fault with it.
And she hoped that Fusu could personally preside over this matter.
Fusu didn't need to invite various officials. She posted invitations in the name of the eldest son and concubine, just as a woman who wanted to show off and shine on her family.
All he needs to do is for Fusu to show up as his father and have a pleasant chat with the many guests.
This is a good start!
"Yes, please give me a warning, husband!" Li Xian replied earnestly.
But who would have thought.
Fusu stared at Li Xian coldly and said coldly:
"Do you know what I, Fusu, hate the most?"
“Form one’s own parties to pursue selfish interests, excel in power and private administration, exclude dissidents, and disregard the life and death of others for the sake of selfish desires.”
"A gentleman is a group but not a party; a villain is a party but not a group."
"A gentleman should be careful to be independent, not to be deceived in the dark room, to humble himself as a shepherd, and to be chaste with the rules. A true man stands between heaven and earth. He should look up to the awe-inspiring righteousness of heaven and earth, do things openly and aboveboard, restrain himself, be cautious about independence, guard his heart, and have a clear nature."
"Legalist, Li Xian, you are worthy of being Li Si's daughter. I taught my son to you in vain, and you misled your disciples."
"Look at what he is doing. He is plotting and scheming. Hegemony and dictatorship. In order to achieve his goals, he destroys people's clans in a single thought. This is what a villain does."
"Celebrate, don't say that he has become a great minister. Even if he is the Prime Minister, I have no shame in my face. I am only ashamed. I am not blessed to enjoy this kind of glory."
Li Xian was also angry. He didn't expect Fusu to say such heartless words.
She spent so much time explaining and persuading her in vain.
"Okay, you've been dissatisfied with me for a long time, so let's talk about it."
"You are close to Chun Yuyue and Shusun Tong. Are you not forming a clique for personal gain?"
"Your Xianfeng Hall has gathered so many rebellious people who criticize the court officials. Doesn't it mean that you are good at power and private administration?"
"Fusu, Fusu, the eldest son of the Great Qin Dynasty, you are the eldest son of the Great Qin Emperor. You were born with a golden key in your mouth."
"Others take a hundred steps up, so why not take one step forward?"
"And it's just this one step. You've taken it for twenty-six years and you're still standing still."
"A gentleman has nothing to fight for, and he is a gentleman when he fights. Don't think that just because you have read the books of Confucius and Mencius, you call yourself a gentleman?"
"I also read it, my dad also read it, your dad also read it, but you were the only one who read it and made you look like a fool."
"Don't talk about His Majesty the First Emperor. If my son were like you, you would kill me and not pass on the crown prince's position to him."
Li Xian was also confused. He rolled up his sleeves and said anything.
Peng!
Fusu threw the tea set to the ground and pointed at Li Xian angrily.
He was so angry that he wanted to hit the beauty, but he stopped in time.
But his eyes looked as if he wanted to eat Li Xian.
"Get out!" Fusu roared angrily.
"Why should I get out? This is your home, and it is also my Li Xian's home." Li Xian showed off his power like a tigress, and the whole Fusu Mansion was shaking.
Usually Li Xian is angry but does not argue, and Fusu Mansion is still at peace.
But now that Li Xian was arguing hard, Fusu's character was stubborn and prejudiced, and his anger suddenly rose.
It looks like it's going to be unstoppable now.
The housekeeper of Fusu Mansion hurried to the lobby.
"Master, Madam, the order is here. Your Majesty's order has arrived."
Thanks to this voice.
Even Fu Su and Li Xian, who were quarreling, immediately turned off their engines and hurried out to greet them.
But he didn't wait to go out.
Zhao Gao, carrying several eunuchs with him, stepped forward with hurried steps and bowed:
"Zhao Gao pays homage to the eldest son. The eldest son and his concubine have the emperor's orders and it is inconvenient for them to kneel down. I hope you will forgive me."
"Since the CRRC Magistrate is here to read out the edict, there is no need to be polite." Fusu knelt down to receive the edict without any anger, but his attitude towards Zhao Gao was not very friendly.
Li Xian also knelt down to greet the edict.
"Here, I wonder if Prince Cheng is here, eldest son, this is the appointment edict for Prince Cheng."
"Oh, by the way, our family would like to congratulate the eldest son on this happy event in his house. The eldest son, the eldest son and his concubine have taught well, and they have actually taught a man like the young master from Chengdu who is the best in the past and present."
Zhao Gao congratulated softly, with a smile on his face.
The flattery is even better.
However, Fu Su and Li Xian both looked bad because of the quarrel they had just had.
Fusu even said bluntly: "Ying Cheng is not in the mansion."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. His Royal Highness the eldest son and the city master receive the same order. They are all the same." Zhao Gao smiled.
Seeing that Ying Cheng was not there, Zhao Gao breathed a sigh of relief and read out with a smile:
"Following the imperial edict of the First Emperor, he ordered his eldest grandson Yingcheng to be the Great Law Order, and Zhangtai Palace was renamed the Great Law Palace to take charge of the legislative affairs of the Qin Dynasty. The left and right prime ministers also served as advisors to the Great Law Palace and had the power to assist in amending legislation.
…
When each government receives the order, it fully cooperates with the legislation of the Great Law Order.
Ying Cheng was ordered to be the commander of the Western Camp and the commander-in-chief of the troops and horses of the Western Camp garrison.
Kudos to this!"
Fusu stared blankly at the edict document.
It seemed that all the official positions announced by the First Emperor in the morning were filtered through his mind.
Don't say a word.
There is not even a word missing, it is all in the imperial edict.
What made him even more strange.
This edict was issued too quickly.
He had just left the palace and returned home, but he didn't even eat, and he only had a few quarrels with Li Xian.
It is equivalent to him entering the door, and the edict and documents are coming at the back.
According to his experience, this happened a bit too fast and was very abnormal.
But while Fusu was thinking.
Zhao Gao stepped forward gently, bent over and handed the imperial edict document in front of Fusu with a smile.
"Eldest Young Master, don't be stunned. Hurry up and accept the order. This is a great thing."
Fusu was stunned, even looking a little awkwardly at Zhao Gao's annoying face that he could see when he raised his head.
This kind of person is the most disgusting person who speaks sweet words, adapts to the wind, flatters, flatters, and flatters.
Subconsciously, Fusu moved his body back and then took the imperial edict document.
"My son, I, will accept the order for my eldest son Ying Cheng."
But it was Li Xian who stood up hurriedly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao, might as well go into the hall and take a rest."
After hearing the edict, Li Xian's anger disappeared without a trace, so he had no reason to neglect Zhao Gao.
"Thank you for the invitation, eldest concubine. Our family has also been ordered to read out. Now that the matter is over, we don't dare to stay. We still hope that the eldest son will atone for his sins." It is impossible for Zhao Gao to stay.
Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't dare.
"Come here, reward!" Seeing that Fusu didn't move, Li Xian could only take care of it by himself. He glanced at the housekeeper and showed his aura as a mistress.
The housekeeper is close to Fusu, but he also knows the rules.
If you go to another house to read the edict, as long as it is a happy event, prepare a small amount of money as a reward.
But when you get to the Huang family, you can't reward them, but give them rewards.
As for how much the reward will be.
Not too much, because too much is bribing close officials.
It cannot be less, otherwise the family will look weak.
Although the housekeeper rarely gives out bounty, he is aware of this kind of thing.
In a hurry.
The butler also quickly brought over a plate covered with red cloth and handed it to Zhao Gao under Fusu's cold light.
"I thank you, the eldest son, for your reward."
Zhao Gao could not refuse, and for Zhao Gao, the royal reward was the reward given by the master to the slave.
This cannot be changed no matter how high Zhao Gao's status is.
Of course, it was impossible for Zhao Gao to uncover the red cloth on the spot to see how much the reward was!
"Slave, please resign!"
Zhao Gao took the bounty and slowly withdrew.
When Zhao Gaoyuan left the house, Li Xian immediately snatched the imperial edict document from Fusu's hand and walked away.
"This court is a place for pursuing power, fame and fortune, and a gentleman should stay away from the court and live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes."
"Everyone is very realistic. If we didn't have this status, how could you, me, and the Fusu Mansion, which is so big, have such a status?"
