Chapter 188: A wave of unresolved waves rises again and again
Looking at the not too thick stack of rosters placed in front of him, Hu Hai remained silent. [This article comes from] It would be false to say that he was not shocked. He knew very well what this small stack meant to today's Daqin.
, what does it mean to Feng Quji?
Excluding the obvious financial concerns, this stack of rosters should be said to be owned by Feng Quji, Feng Jie and his son, and even the entire Feng family.
Nowadays, countless people in the world work hard to become marquises and prime ministers, isn't it just for this small list? With these, as long as the Qin Dynasty survives, and as long as they do not commit the serious crime of confiscating their families and exterminating their clans, they can at least protect their wealth and food for several generations.
, glory and wealth.
Hu Hai even had some doubts about whether Feng Quji was old and confused. But in other words, even if Feng Quji was old and confused, Feng Jie was not old. Could it be that Feng Jie didn't understand how to hand over these rosters to the Ministry of Household Affairs and return the fiefdom to the Ministry of Revenue?
Does what he has in his hands mean to the entire Feng family?
It is true that Hu Hai really wants to change the current situation in the Qin Dynasty where various marquises and noble families hold a large number of fiefs outside the rule of the imperial court, but Hu Hai also knows what these fiefs mean to various marquis and noble families.
That is their foundation, that is the pillar of their family.
Therefore, Hu Hai only used some tricks on the newly created lords. He did not give anyone a fiefdom, and most of them were rewards. Similarly, Hu Hai also knew that such selective neglect was not an option at all. After all, the title reached a certain level.
Every height must have a fiefdom. This is the rule of the Great Qin military nobility system, and it also has precise customization.
During the time of the First Emperor, the nobles all had fiefs, but now he does not have fiefs, and there is no clear statement, which will obviously make the newly promoted nobles have a grudge. After all, everyone has the same title, why do you have a fief?
But what if I don’t have a fiefdom here?
The reason why everyone is still saying hello, me, and everyone is good. The main reason is that basically all the new upstarts were promoted by Hu Hai, such as Du Teng, Xu Chuang, Weng Zhong, Yu Ziqi, Han Xin, etc.
people.
But Hu Hai knew very well that he had to have an attitude on this issue or give people like them a say. Cracks often arise inadvertently, then slowly widen, and finally part ways.
This is also the problem that Hu Hai has been having a headache now. It is also the main reason why Hu Hai wants to attack Linghu Fan, Ma Xing and others.
Originally, this time Ma Xing and others came to Xianyang for an audience. It was indeed as Feng Quji thought. If Ma Xing and others were wise and willing to retire in Xianyang and hand over their fiefdoms, Hu Hai would naturally give them a decent ending.
I'm sorry if Ma Xing and others are ignorant. Hu Hai has already thought of the crime he wants to inflict. Of course, it is not a crime he wants to inflict. After all, they have done a lot of outrageous things in the past ten years or so.
Heibingtai only needs a little research and there will be a lot of them immediately.
Therefore, even if he wanted to accuse Hu Hai, he would not have any psychological burden.
However, getting rid of the blood-sucking worms attached to Da Qin such as Ma Xing and Zhao Ping cannot really solve the problem. Although Ma Xing and others are noble marquises, they have never been integrated into the core of Da Qin because they became monks halfway.
Those who seek glory as sellers will eventually be despised.
Hu Hai is still trying to solve the problem of the fiefdoms of various nobles. He has no solution.
He can indeed forcibly take back everyone's fiefdoms, but he can bear the consequences of taking back the fiefdoms, but Da Qin cannot bear it.
The fiefdom is the lifeblood of a group of nobles. Taking it back is like taking away their lives. Hu Hai is sure that he will not get the support of anyone, including the Meng family, the Wang family, the Li family, and the Feng family.
One clan and a group of Lao Qin clan. Even Ying Teng may not support it.
Hu Hai stood up and walked down from the emperor's throne, walked to the edge of the high platform and looked down at Feng Quji, who was bowing and bowing his head below, with complicated eyes.
As Hu Hai stood up and walked down from the throne, the originally noisy hall instantly became audible.
Hu Hai knew that he had underestimated the old guys in Da Qin after all.
Feng Quji obviously discovered his plan, or in other words, discovered the predicament he was in now, and wanted to help him. But, don't you know that not only can you not help me, but you will also involve yourself in it?
What?
"Feng Lao Aiqing, are you sure you are not joking?" Hu Hai looked down at Feng Quji quietly, and after a long silence, he finally spoke.
"Your Majesty, please grant my invitation!" Feng Qu said loudly.
"Your Majesty, please grant your request!"
Among the generals, Feng Jie also stood up at this time and bowed.
There was another commotion among the officials in the hall.
If Mr. Feng Ge took the wrong medicine, could it be that General Feng Jie also took the wrong medicine?
If the ministers in the palace knew an Internet buzzword from later generations, they would definitely sigh: If you don't seek death, you won't die.
"No! Retreat!"
Hu Hai dropped four words blankly and rolled his sleeves to leave.
There will definitely be a solution to the matter, although I haven't thought of how to solve it yet. But I don't need the two important ministers Feng Quji and Feng Jie to be my pawns and cannon fodder.
In such a situation, not only will they not become the objects of imitation among the officials, but they will become the objects of ridicule and hostility among the officials.
What Feng Quji could see didn't mean that Li You, Yao Jia, Meng Tian and others couldn't see it.
They would only think that Feng Quji and his son had betrayed the interests of all noble families in order to please themselves.
Once this hole is torn open, the consequences will be that all the noble families' fiefdoms will be taken back by themselves, and people's wealth will be cut off. It is already a deadly feud. But Feng Quji and Feng Jie's father and son, this is directly
Is this a sign that all the noble families will have no descendants? It is no longer a mortal enemy, it has directly risen to the level of a fight to the death.
Although Hu Hai was moved, he would not let Feng Quji and his son become the target of public criticism for this matter and become cannon fodder.
Hearing Hu Hai's cold rejection, all the officials in the palace were relieved, while Yao Jia, Hu Wujing and others looked at Feng Quji and his son with pure contempt in their eyes.
I asked you to take a picture of a horse, but it ended up on the horse's leg. Oh, no, it wasn't on the horse's leg, but directly on the horse's hoof. I'm looking for a slap.
Just when the ministers were preparing to go back to their homes to look for their mothers after shouting "Long Live the Mountain", two old figures flashed out at the same time.
"Your Majesty, I ask you to return all the property produced in the fiefdom to the Ministry of Household Affairs and pay taxes and taxes to fill the country's treasury."
Two old voices echoed throughout the main hall of Xianyang Palace.
It's the Grand Master, Wei Liao, the Assistant Minister of the Cabinet, and the Imperial Censor, the Assistant Minister of the Cabinet, Dunwei!
After seeing the two people talking clearly, all the civil and military officials in the main hall of Xianyang Palace were instantly turned to stone.
The three auxiliary ministers of the Cabinet Office, plus the former imperial censor and now the general, all petitioned to return the fiefdoms of themselves and others to the court and the emperor. What are they going to do?
And judging from the emperor's behavior, he seemed to have no knowledge of it beforehand.
Of course, no one knows the exact answer whether this is known or not. Maybe the emperor has made an agreement with the four of them to join forces to perform a play? Who can say for sure.
Meng Tian and Li You were thoughtful, while Yao Jia, Hu Wujing and others who had just shown contempt looked like they had seen a ghost. After being stunned for a while, they seemed to remember
They all looked up and looked at the emperor above the main hall.
Hu Hai, who had already said to retreat, turned around and took two steps, felt as if he had been struck by thunder when he heard His Highness's voice.
He could tell who those two voices belonged to without turning around.
Wei Liao and Dun Ruo suddenly joined Feng Quji's battle group at this time. It was definitely not a whim. It was even less likely that they were moved by Feng Quji and Feng Jie's father and son.
The three of them must have discussed it long ago.
With the addition of Wei Liao and Dun Ruo, Feng Jie has been selectively ignored by Hu Hai.
Three assistant ministers of the Cabinet Office are doing this at the same time. Everyone must face up to this matter and pay attention to it.
They came here to relieve their own worries.
"Report!"
A hurried shout suddenly sounded outside the hall.
Hu Hai frowned. There was only one possibility for such a situation, which was to deliver the letter directly to the main hall of Xianyang Palace during the imperial meeting. Only an eight-hundred-mile urgent letter, which represented a hundred thousand urgent matters, would work.
If it is a civil matter, then the information channels of Black Ice Platform are much faster than those of the post stations that have gradually connected to various parts of Daqin; then there is only one possibility left. This urgent report of 100,000 comes from the Daqin military, or in other words, from
A certain legion within Da Qin.
"Xuan!" Hu Hai looked back at the outside of the hall and sat on the emperor's throne again.
This urgent letter of 100,000 yuan was suddenly delivered, which immediately relaxed the almost stagnant atmosphere in the hall.
Feng Quji, Wei Liao, Dun Rui, and Feng Jie sat back down. The rest of the ministers in the hall, who were physically and mentally exhausted after being bombarded one after another, also deserved to sit down honestly at this moment.
As for what they seem to be thinking, only they themselves probably know.
"Your Majesty, General Qinglong Xu Chuang has sent an urgent message from Gaoli County for 800 miles."
A well-worn postman quickly walked into the main hall, knelt on one knee, raised a package with both hands and shouted loudly.
Wang Yan ran all the way and took the bundle from the postman's hand. After checking it up and down, he took out a letter sealed with red paint and placed it respectfully on the copper case in front of Hu Hai.
"Reward." Hu Hai looked at the letter in front of him and said calmly without raising his head.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The postman stood up and slowly walked out of the hall.
Hu Hai stared at the letter and newspaper in front of him. He did not open it immediately, but stared at it quietly. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.
Are you thinking about returning the fiefdom, or are you thinking about what the letter said?
