Hu Hai had already changed his original plan at this time.
Originally, Meng Tian was asked to lead the military, political and civil affairs of the four counties to subdue Shandong and other places, and Wang Liqian went out of Chen County to look at each other from a distance, waiting for everyone with ideas in their hearts to jump out, and then kill them all in one fell swoop, permanently eliminating the threat of the survivors of the Six Kingdoms.
It's just that Ziying's disappearance today made Hu Hai, who always felt that he was in an inexplicable crisis, further convinced that there were two or even more than one pair of eyes staring at him in the dark, and an invisible black hand was attacking him or Daqin.
Come.
The relationship between Meng Tian and the Meng family and Fusu was well known to the world. Hu Hai didn't think that he really had the spirit of a bastard and that he could really make everyone surrender with a few shakes.
It is obviously inappropriate to let Meng Tian take charge of the military, political and civil affairs of the four counties now.
Of course, Hu Hai has another plan that he has not revealed, that is, Wang Li and Meng Tian will wipe out Surabaya. After the rebellion in Chen and other counties, Meng Tian will be the only one to lead the army to garrison in Surabaya, and Chen County's front line will be connected with Li Xin's 20,000 troops.
However, Wang Li and Hu Hai, who was originally supposed to be stationed in Chen County, planned to let him lead the army into Shandong to suppress various places.
When Wei Liao heard Hu Hai's words, he glanced at Hu Hai meaningfully and said, "What your Majesty said is true. So, does your Majesty have any arrangements for the 20,000 troops led by General Li Xin?"
"Wuguan is our gateway and fortress for the Qin Dynasty to move south. We must not miss anything. Therefore, apart from stationing at Wuguan, Li Xin has no other arrangements. Of course, if there is a change in Nanyang or Hanzhong, Li Xin's army can destroy it on his own."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Wei Liao obviously didn't want to say any more, so he simply patted the horse over.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Hu Hai turned around and asked.
"I respectfully obey His Majesty's will!"
As a military strategist, Wei Liao had no objection to Hu Hai, so the others would not be asking for trouble.
"In this case, the matter has been settled. Tomorrow Meng Aiqing and Li Xin will lead the army to go east and south respectively."
"I obey the order!"
All the officials in the hall responded loudly.
"So, let me talk about the second thing. Regarding people from hundreds of families joining the court as officials in the future." Hu Hai glanced at Kong Yu and Tian Rendao who were sitting in the hall.
As soon as Hu Hai's words came out, he immediately attracted the attention of all the important officials in the hall.
"Li Aiqing, please be patient and listen to me first." Hu Hai quickly interrupted when he saw that Li Si was about to open his mouth as soon as he finished speaking.
"Old minister, I obey!" Li Si said with a salute.
"I think that the current system of selecting officials in Da Qin is not suitable, so I intend that in the future, all officials in Da Qin will be selected from the students of the Royal Academy, and after the assessment, they will be released as officials. Of course, all the descendants of the family who love you will do the same in the future.
Entered the Royal Academy to study.
After the official start of teaching at the Imperial Academy of the Qin Dynasty, I will go to the academy to teach twice a month. If there are people who perform well, I will immediately consider whether they can be sent abroad or serve as officials in the court.
As for the selection of the remaining students, it will be held once a year for the time being. As for the specific selection method, I would like to leave it to the two prime ministers and the two beloved ministers, Kong Tian. I wonder what you beloved ministers think?"
Hu Hai had no choice. If he forced the imperial examination at this time, he would fall out with 99% of the officials in the court.
Just because the current official selection system in Da Qin is blind, that is, most of them are recommended and selected from the family members of meritorious ministers, and then the emperor takes him with him and serves as a doctor to observe for a period of time. If he performs well, he can be admitted to the court or be released as an official.
.
But if he arranges it like this, and controls part of the selection rights in his own hands, and leaves most of the assessment and selection rights to Li Si, Feng Quji, Kong Yu, and Tian Ren, then the opposition from Li Si and others should be smaller.
a lot of.
The important ministers in the hall were silent, obviously thinking about their own interests and losses at this time.
Kong Yu and Tian Ren did not expect that Hu Hai would hand over such a huge responsibility or power to them, and they would be ranked alongside the two prime ministers of Qin Dynasty. What kind of trust and courtesy is this?
"I and other people from hundreds of families are willing to die for Your Majesty!"
Kong Yu and Tian Ren looked at the former important ministers of Great Qin in the hall and were silent. Apparently, Hu Hai and others had already been under a lot of pressure from the Great Qin court, and if they did not stand up and express their opinions at this time, they would
It's a bit shameless.
Hu Hai smiled and said to the two of them: "You two dear friends, you don't need to be polite, just be on your own." After saying that, he looked at Li Si and Feng Quji.
Hu Hai knew that Wei Liao on the right, Ying Teng and others would definitely not oppose even if they did not support him. All the Meng clan were in the army, and there were almost no civil servants except Meng Yi;
Outside of official duties, no one became an official in the court;
Needless to say, Zhang Han's family has not yet risen; Wei Liao has always been a loner; Kong Yu and Tian Ren have already expressed their opinions. In fact, the most important thing is the meaning of Li Si and Feng Quji.
If Li Si is defeated, he will basically defeat most of the officials in the Qin Dynasty. Feng Quji will still be unable to compete with Li Si for the time being.
Li Si knew that Hu Hai had been waiting for news about him. To be honest, he wanted to object directly.
Because on the surface it seemed that Hu Hai had made concessions, but how could Li Si be willing to let two uncivilized sects suddenly come into the house to challenge himself, the dignified Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, and share the power of selecting officials?
Feng Quji's thoughts were similar to Li Si's, but he knew his own family affairs. Although he now concurrently served as a state official, his influence in the court was far less than Li Si's. Naturally, he didn't want to make the first move since Li Si didn't speak up.
After waiting for a while, Li Si still didn't say anything. Everyone knew that Li Si was silently confronting His Majesty the Emperor.
The hall gradually became depressed.
"Haha, I will allow you all to go back and think about this important matter, and we will discuss it another day. I am not very drunk today and am a bit tired. All my dears, please go back and have a rest early." Hu Hai said with a smile.
"I obey the order!"
Hearing Hu Hai give the steps, all the ministers in the hall quickly bowed.
…
After a while, the entire hall was empty, leaving only Hu Hai sitting in the hall. The quiet hall seemed to be the same as Hu Hai's mood, brewing the calm before the storm.
Ying Yi stood carefully and quietly in the hall. Hu Hai didn't let him go, so he didn't dare to leave. After a while, Ying Yi couldn't stand it any longer, so he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's better to have a rest early. I'll go and take care of the dragon."
Your Majesty, when the Eight Dragons and Nines are called?"
"Yingyi, do you think someone helped Ziying hide or was Ziying really kidnapped?" Hu Hai ignored Yingyi. He knew from the fact that he chose Longbasi, a girl with good looks, figure and good skills, that he was going to fight.
What's on your mind.
But Nima, am I that lustful?
"This... Your Majesty, forgive me. I only know how to fight and kill. This... I really don't know!" said Ai Ai, who won the first issue.
Hu Hai sighed helplessly and muttered to himself: "It seems that Brother Nima really needs to give this old bastard Li Si some benefits."
Then he rubbed his head and said: "Yingyi, I tell you a few things, and you can do it immediately. The first thing is to ask Yingliu to select four hawks respectively. The two hawks will set off tonight with my handwriting.
Jiuyuan Meng Yi's army and Prince Chen's army have left the army. The other two eagle warriors are preparing to set off with Meng Tian and Li Xin's army tomorrow. If anything happens, please fly the eagle to me at any time.
These two eagles and dragon guards sent people to protect and accompany them. In addition to the eagles in Wang Li's army, they sent ten dead soldiers from your first lieutenant and Yingsi's fourth lieutenant to accompany them and protect Wang Li with my handwriting;
In addition, twenty dead soldiers were also dispatched, ten each from Meng Tian and Li Xinchu;
The second thing is that Ying Er, the second lieutenant of Long Wei, assists Meng Li and Yang Ruihe to thoroughly investigate the disappearance of Ziying and handle it immediately. At the same time, he recruits the third lieutenant of Ying Er and Ying Liuyi to secretly investigate the matter.
I need to find the person behind this."
At this point, Hu Hai paused and said, "Do you understand?"
Yingyi's heart tightened when he heard Hu Hai's words. When Meng Yi left Xianyang, it was okay for Hu Hai to send dead soldiers to accompany him for protection. At this moment, Hu Hai dispatched the first lieutenant and the most mysterious fourth lieutenant at the same time and sent dead soldiers to protect the leading general who was out on the expedition.
That's intriguing.
The important ministers in the Great Qin Dynasty all knew that Heibingtai had the most elite warriors in the Great Qin, and they had been cooperating with the Great Qin in its foreign campaigns. The most common view of Hu Hai's move was that Hu Hai was worried about the safety of these generals, so he sent the most elite warriors to protect them.
And Yingyi, who has been in control of Heibingtai, knows very well that Heibingtai is not only the most elite warrior, but also the emperor's dead soldier who only obeys the emperor's orders, and that does not include the most mysterious four lieutenants 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Well, the most important thing is that the Black Ice Platform in Hu Hai's hands is no longer just for external use.
If these generals have other thoughts or His Majesty the Emperor wants to get rid of these generals, then these most elite protectors can also become the most difficult to guard against and the most terrifying killers.
Thinking of this, Ying Yi couldn't help but shudder. He glanced at Hu Hai secretly, only to find that Hu Hai was staring at him with a deep gaze.
Ying Yi couldn't help but get excited and forcefully remove the thoughts that just appeared in his mind. He quickly lowered his head and bowed respectfully and said: "Return to your majesty, Ying Yi understands!"
"Well, let's go. By the way, we can invite Li Si and Yu Lao Aiqing back."
