Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 176 Ruthless people have their own grind

In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Qin's palace, the meeting hall.

Ying Zheng sat upright in the hall as usual, but slightly different from before, Zhao Gao came back.

At this time, Zhao Gao was no longer the prestigious eunuch of CRRC, but an accompanying eunuch.

Although Ying Zheng deprived him of his title and official position, no one dared to underestimate him.

But Zhao Gao stood beside Ying Zheng, glanced around the courtiers expressionlessly, and then shouted in a shrill voice: "The court starts early, if there is something to do, we will leave the court if there is nothing to do!"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone paused.

Although everyone knew what was going to be discussed today, no one stood up. After all, only a fool would touch the head of the first emperor.

Of course, some people are not afraid of bad luck, such as the upright old boy Feng Quji.

I saw Feng Quji coming out of the line in a dignified manner, bowing his hands to Yingzheng and saying, "Your Majesty, I have something to play!"

"Come on!"

Ying Zheng glanced at Feng Quji lightly, and his tone was much cooler than before.

Feng Quji shuddered, and said bravely, "Your Majesty, it's already deep winter, and I'm worried that the people will have no charcoal fires for the winter, so I ask Your Majesty to set up a charcoal department to burn a lot of charcoal!"

"Cut~"

The ministers rolled their eyes in their hearts, secretly thinking that the upright old boy is no longer upright, and he is ashamed to say such a trivial matter.

Have the common people never had a winter charcoal fire?That is no money to buy it!

Seeing the disdainful eyes of his colleagues, Feng Quji couldn't hold back his face, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I still have something to say!"

"Ok!"

Ying Zheng gave a "hmm" and raised his hand to signal him to continue.

Feng Quji subconsciously glanced at Wang Ben, then cupped his hands and said: "I impeach son Kun for falsely preaching His Majesty's will, amassing money wantonly, breaking the law and discipline, arrogance and lust, and plotting wrongdoings, causing the people of Pinyang to live. Ten counts of crimes!"

hiss.
When the ministers heard Feng Quji's report, they couldn't help but gasped.

The upright old boy deserves to be the upright old boy, this utterance is ten deadly crimes, and each of these crimes can make the first emperor kill his son to prove the tyrant!

"Anyone else playing?"

Glancing at the ministers, Ying Zheng asked calmly.

"Report to Your Majesty, the minister also has something to play!"

Wang Ben also stepped out of the queue without haste, and said with a calm expression.

"Mr. Tongwu plays!"

"Your Majesty, I impeach Prime Minister Feng You for distorting the facts and slandering Young Master Kun, which is a heinous crime!"

wow——

As soon as this remark came out, all the ministers were in an uproar, thinking that the two big brothers are trying to be tough!
"Since Tong Wuhou said that the old minister distorted the facts, how dare you tell your son Kun to confront him in court?" Feng Quji said without giving an inch.

Wang Ben turned his head and asked, "Feng Youxiang said ten crimes, is there evidence?"

"This"

Feng Quji was dumbfounded.

The ten crimes he mentioned were basically reported to him by the major officials in Pinyang. He did not attend the event last night, so he could only say that he knew about it, but if he wanted to talk about the evidence, he would take it for a while. not come out.

"What? What is Feng Youxiang hiding? If you can't produce evidence, how can you confront Young Master Kun?" Wang Ben asked.

Feng Quji didn't expect Wang Ben to defend Zhao Kun so much. It seems that the rumored "son-in-law talk" is not groundless.

After hesitating for a moment, Feng Quji stopped talking about specific culpability, but asked about the facts; "Dare to ask Marquis Tong Wu, was the event last night organized by Young Master Kun?"

"Yes!"

Wang Ben replied without thinking.

"Then, is Young Master Kun announcing the new city in public?"

"do not know!"

Feng Quji frowned: "Since Marquis Tongwu doesn't know, let Young Master Kun go to the palace to answer questions!"

"What?" Wang Ben raised his eyebrows; "When did Feng Youxiang become Qin Zongzheng again?"

"I"

Feng Quji was dumbfounded again.

A deep sense of powerlessness came to my heart immediately, he couldn't even deal with Li Si, let alone the cunning and cunning Wang Ben.

However, Wang Ben didn't want to let him go. Seeing that he didn't speak, he sneered and said, "Feng Youxiang, son Kun is not something you can interrogate. Don't forget what the responsibility of the prime minister is. Show me the evidence!"

"Humph!"

Feng Quji snorted in embarrassment, then returned to the table with a flick of his sleeves.

At this time, Guozheng Supervisor Zhou Zheng stood up and retorted, "Don't be so clever as Marquis Tongwu, so as to confuse the public, son Kun falsely preached His Majesty's will, and the whole city of Pinyang can testify!"

"Your Majesty didn't say anything, but you uttered wild words and wanton slander. I think your Guozheng Prison is already rotten!"

"Our country's chief supervisor is ordered to supervise hundreds of officials and discuss matters on a case-by-case basis. What does Marquis Tongwu mean by this?"

Wang Ben: "Young Master Kun has neither a title nor an official position. It is Zongzheng's mansion that needs to be supervised. It has nothing to do with your Guozheng supervisor?"

"you!"

Hearing this, Zhou Zheng was immediately out of breath, and was about to step forward to argue.

boom--

Ying Zheng slapped the table, and said with an angry face: "Okay, shut up!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Feng Quji: "Feng Youxiang, what happened?"

Pretending to be ignorant is a necessary quality for every person in power, and the first emperor was no exception. He knew everything, but he insisted on asking it again.

Feng Quji immediately became more submissive when he heard Ying Zheng's questioning.

"The veteran also received a report saying that Young Master Kun held an event at Shichuan Lake and announced the establishment of Pinyang New City in public, which is said to have been ordered by His Majesty;

But the old minister carefully reviewed the recent government decree issued by His Majesty, and there was nothing wrong with it, so he sorted out the memorials reported by the ministers, and listed the ten crimes of Young Master Kun! "

"Oh!"

Ying Zheng suddenly said "Oh", then smiled and said, "So that's what happened!"

"A few days ago, Zhao Kun did tell me about the new city of Pinyang. I thought it was a novelty at the time, so I immediately agreed, so I forgot to tell you all!"

"what!?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

Didn't expect this to be true!

how can that be!How could His Majesty agree to build a new city?
Now that there is no money to fight wars, how can I have spare money to build a new city?
Thinking of this, the officials of Yushitai hurriedly came out and said: "Since Your Majesty knows, why did you agree to this matter? Could it be that Your Majesty doesn't know that our Daqin treasury is tight?"

"Building a new city will definitely consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and the gains outweigh the losses!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, there is no need to build a new city. Please think twice, Your Majesty!" Feng Quji agreed after hearing the words.

The rest of the ministers looked at each other, and they also clapped their hands and said in agreement: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Ying Zheng smiled, did not answer, and turned to look at Li Si: "What does Li Aiqing think about this matter?"

Liston paused, cupped his hands and said: "I also feel that the matter of the new city needs to be discussed."

"Since all the ministers feel that this matter is inappropriate, then I will personally explain it to you!"

Ying Zheng smiled and stood up, then waved to Zhao Gao: "Show them the things!"

"promise!"

Zhao Gao made a promise, and then called the palace attendant to bring the plan for Pinyang New City.

"You take turns to look at this thing. If you have any comments and suggestions, let's talk about it after reading it!"

With his hands behind his back, Ying Zheng quietly looked at the officials below him.

Feng Quji was the first to receive the plan and read it.

When he saw it for the first time, the expression on Feng Quji's face didn't change much, because the words on it belonged to Wang Ben.

As one of the first emperor's favorite ministers, Wang Ben is indeed qualified to advise the first emperor.

But as Feng Quji read further, the expression on his face became more and more surprised.

"Pinyang New City is contracted to Daqin Construction Group through project bidding, and Daqin Construction Group will independently construct and build it without funding from the treasury."

"The Daqin Construction Group was established by the Taiwei Mansion and operated independently and legally. The main purpose is to solve the livelihood problems of some servants."

"In addition, in terms of profit sharing, [-]% of Daqin Construction Group's profit is collected as national tax, and the remaining [-]% ​​is used as operating capital..."

Looking at it, Feng Quji couldn't help but read it out.

All the ministers followed suit.

Daqin Construction Group?

No money to build a new city?
[-]% profit?
The officials who could stand in the meeting hall were not fools, and soon understood why Ying Zheng agreed to the construction of the new city.

This is so easy to make money without losing money!

If the Pinyang New City is really built for the Daqin Construction Group, then the court basically just waits to collect the money.

But is there really such a good thing in the world?
Where did the Daqin Construction Group get the money to build the new city?
Just when everyone was surprised and puzzled, Feng Quji said again: "Your Majesty, according to the description in this plan, the establishment of Daqin Construction Group will benefit the country and the people. Added income, it is the best of both worlds..."

"But!" As he spoke, he changed the topic, and continued: "The proposal of independent management, the veteran thinks it is a little inappropriate, because Pinyang's servants are close to [-]. If Daqin Construction Group accepts them, what should we do if there is a problem? Is good?"

Li Si on the side nodded repeatedly when he heard the words: "Feng Youxiang is right, and this is only Pinyang. If it expands to the outside world, this Daqin Construction Group will admit more people!"

Does he know that Zhao Kun is suspected of treason, if these people fall into Zhao Kun's hands, it will be a big trouble.

However, Wang Ben had anticipated this situation, so he explained: "In terms of personnel control, I have already mentioned at the end of the plan;

At the same time as the establishment of Daqin Construction Group, Guozheng Supervisor, Taiwei Mansion, Tingwei Mansion, and Yushitai will set up a supervisory department to specifically control the personnel issues of Daqin Construction Group. "

Hearing this, all the ministers looked at Feng Quji one after another. Feng Quji was stunned for a moment, and after looking quickly, he found a small word.

"There really is a supervisory department here!"

"How could His Majesty have not considered the issues you have considered?" Wang Ben glanced at Feng Quji and said coldly.

"This……"

Feng Quji couldn't find anything to refute for a while.

But Li Si frowned and asked: "Then how does Daqin Construction Group plan to build a new city?"

"This is a commercial secret, no comment."

"Trade secrets?"

Hearing this, Li Si couldn't help being stunned, thinking that what Daqin Construction Group does is related to state affairs, what kind of business is it?
However, since Wang Ben refused to answer, it means that there is really something secret that cannot be revealed, otherwise it is impossible for His Majesty not to speak.

After pondering for a moment, Li Si asked again: "Since how to build is a commercial secret, it is impossible for the required property to be the same, right? Then, I would like to ask Marquis Tongwu, where did the Daqin Construction Group get the money to build the new city?"

"The land occupied by Pinyang New City belongs to the fiefdom of my Wang family. My Wang family voluntarily sold it, and all the funds obtained belong to Daqin Construction Group."

"What?! Take... take out the fief and sell it... Isn't that a prodigal..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was astonished.

It's not that the land of the Wang family cannot be sold, but that these lands are the private property of the Wang family. What's the benefit of doing this... Is the Wang family really willing to do so?Could it be that the patriotism of the Wang family has swelled?
Obviously, this is impossible.

Immediately, everyone thought that Wang Ben was crazy and a prodigal!

This fief is not owned by Wang Ben alone, but by several generations of the Wang family who fought bloody battles in exchange for it!

Just sold it for no apparent reason?It's just ridiculous!
Although Feng Quji didn't reprimand Wang Ben face to face, he still reminded him tactfully: "Marquis Tongwu really thought it through? That's your royal family's ancestral property, just sell it like this, after your royal family..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Ben with a flick of his sleeve: "My Wang family has been enfeoffed in Pinyang for many years, and I haven't done anything for the people of Pinyang. Now that I have a chance to improve their situation, it's nothing to lose some fiefdom! "

When the ministers heard this, they fell silent immediately, because what Wang Ben said was righteous, and they could not refute it.

Li Si also frowned, and began to chew Wang Ben's words carefully.

Seeing that everyone did not speak out to refute or question, Wang Ben knew that Zhao Kun's plan was half successful, so he continued: "The Daqin Construction Group is independent of the court, not with ulterior motives, but because we don't want those with ulterior motives to interfere... ..."

After saying this, he deliberately looked at Li Si, who froze for a moment, glared at him and said, "Marquis Tong Wu's idea is good, but what if the common people go to work and no one grows food?"

"Ms. Li is too worried!"

Wang Ben said with a smile: "The number of people recruited by Daqin Construction Group is always limited, not everyone is recruited. Only families with a hard life can come to work."

"Of course, there will be more actions that benefit the country and the people in the future, so that the people of Daqin will no longer have to worry about their livelihood."

"This……"

After all the ministers listened, I fell into deep thought.

After a long time, they seemed to have thought clearly, their eyes were bright and their faces were full of excitement.

Some even clapped their hands!

Feng Quji's eyes were also bright, and he had a feeling of getting to know Wang Ben again. He suddenly discovered that Wang Ben's rebirth was a great thing for Daqin.

Thinking of this, Feng Quji bowed deeply to Wang Ben: "It is really a blessing for the Great Qin that the Marquis Tongwu offered this good strategy to the Great Qin!"

"Tong Wuhou is a great talent, I admire him!"

A group of courtiers also followed suit.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng had a satisfied smile on his face.

In my heart, I praised Wang Ben as an undercover agent for nothing.

After Wang Ben reported Zhao Kun's arrangement to him last night, he asked Wang Ben to go back overnight and asked Zhao Kun for the proposal. Now that Wang Ben is in charge of the Daqin Construction Group, no matter how tricky the kid is, it won't help.

"cough!"

Seeing all the officials complimenting Wang Ben one after another, Ying Zheng coughed lightly, and then said unhurriedly: "I also think it is feasible to use Marquis Wu's method. From now on, the Daqin Construction Group will be established by the Taiwei Mansion, and Wang Ben will be established by Wang Ben." Ben is in charge of everything!"

"Your Majesty is wise, the blessing of Great Qin!"

Feng Quji shouted loudly, and the rest of the officials agreed.

In this way, the impeachment that was supposed to be aimed at Zhao Kun disappeared under the intentional drive of Wang Ben and Ying Zheng.

However, Ying Zheng didn't intend to let Zhao Kun, a brat, easily go!

Zhao Kun wanted to go to Zongzheng's mansion to avoid disaster, but Ying Zheng refused to let him go. It was more interesting to treat him coldly and keep him in fear all day long than to punish him and lock him up.

This is a tactic used by his great Qin Shihuang, called shock and awe.

According to Wang Ben, when he went back last night, Zhao Kun hadn't slept and just stared at the door in a daze.

And when Wang Ben asked him to make a proposal, he kept talking about how the first emperor would deal with his own topic.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng couldn't help being a little funny, and immediately waved his sleeves: "Retire!"

After retreating.

"Why did Marquis Tongwu suddenly become so shrewd?"

"Although he is good at military affairs, he is not proficient in political affairs. It is really unimaginable to come up with such a good strategy now!"

Li Si sighed and said to Feng Quji while walking outside the palace gate.

"That's right! Marquis Tongwu's move, I didn't expect it. It seems that since his condition improved, his temperament has changed!"

Feng Quji agreed, and suddenly remembered something, and sighed: "Your Majesty has become different recently, I don't know why!"

Li Si rolled his eyes when he heard this, and immediately asked tentatively, "Does Feng Youxiang remember His Majesty's weird behavior before?"

"Ok?"

Feng Quji paused, and looked at Li Si with a puzzled face: "What does Li Zuoxiang mean by this?"

"Your Majesty was so angry that Young Master Fusu became ill that day, and hurriedly ate the medicine in the box. Do you know who gave this medicine?"

"Didn't you say that Young Master Fusu gave it to you?"

"No!"

Li Si shook his head, and said meaningfully: "This medicine is not from Young Master Fusu, but from Young Master Kun!"

"what?"

Feng Quji was surprised: "It's actually the medicine offered by Young Master Kun!"

"If it wasn't for Young Master Kun offering the medicine, how could His Majesty tolerate him again and again?"

Li Si asked with a smile.

Feng Quji frowned slightly, and said vigilantly, "Why did you tell me these things?"

"Ha ha!"

Li Si chuckled, then looked around, and said in a low voice, "I just want to remind Feng Youxiang that Daqin's wind direction has changed!"

"What do you mean?"

"We all knew before that His Majesty has been hesitating between Young Master Fusu and Young Master Hu Hai, but now that Young Master Kun appears, it becomes clearer!"

"This!"

Feng Quji was stunned, with an expression of "you're kidding me" on his face, and looked at Li Si: "Li Zuoxiang knows that it is really disrespectful to presume holy meaning!"

"Are you presuming the sacred meaning, Feng Youxiang, listen to me after I have finished speaking, and then worry about it?"

Li Si smiled noncommittally, and then continued; "Your Majesty has become different from before this time. That's because Mr. Kun is behind the scenes, and so is Tong Wuhou Wang Ben!"

"I don't know if Feng Youxiang remembers the matter of donating food and erecting a monument? If my guess is correct, this is definitely Young Master Kun's scheme!"

"How is this possible? He has just turned 15 years old, how can he be so resourceful?"

Feng Quji looked puzzled.

Li Si shook his head and smiled wryly; "Young Master Kun's resourcefulness cannot be judged by common sense. If Feng Youxiang doesn't believe it, you can think carefully, whether every unexpected move of His Majesty is related to Young Master Kun?"

Feng Quji was silent when he heard the words.

In the past, he didn't take Zhao Kun seriously, but now that Li Si reminded him, he realized that there were some clues.

Whether it is "relief with work", or the cavalry battle drill, or the Daqin Construction Group, there is a shadow of Zhao Kun.

Could it be that His Majesty really intends to make Zhao Kun the crown prince?

Thinking of this, Feng Quji's heart trembled, and he secretly thought that something was wrong, but he quickly realized that Li Si had always been at odds with him, so how could he tell himself this kindly.

So he hesitated for a moment, frowned and asked, "What purpose do you have, just say it!"

"My purpose is very simple, it is not feasible to donate food and erect monuments!"

"This is something His Majesty decided, and I can't stop it."

Li Si: "You can't stop it, you can push some scapegoats out and let them stop it."

Feng Quji: "What does this mean?"

"Fraudulent donation!"

"."

Feng Quji's eyes turned cold, and he said coldly, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

"I know Prime Minister Wang has been away for almost ten years"

Li Si said something with a half-smile.

Feng Quji's pupils shrank, and he suddenly remembered the scene ten years ago when he cooperated with Li Si and pushed Wang Wan out of the Great Qin Dynasty Hall.
