Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 300 The ministers were surprised, two imperial edicts
Since ancient times, when emperors passed away suddenly, when they were in power, most of them were in charge of the court and handled the funeral.

However, Li Si's approach is to serve the public wholeheartedly, which makes people secretly admire him.

But Li Si looked around the crowd and said: "Your Majesty is in distress, and the whole country is in mourning. The three princes and nine ministers came to the Chamber of Commerce of Ganquan Palace. One is to eliminate the country's doubts, and the other is to announce the secret edict."

As he said that, he turned to Feng Jie and said, "Politicians should deal with state affairs openly, and must not mess up their sense of propriety."

"Li Xiang is right, I agree with Li Xiang's strategy." Hu Wujing nodded beside him.

Feng Jie frowned: "According to what Li Xiang said, the eldest son Fusu and the general Meng Tian also want to recruit the Ganquan Palace Chamber of Commerce?"

"Accordingly, it should be so!"

Li Si nodded solemnly.

"But Your Majesty asked the eldest son to help Su, and he is not allowed to return to the country without receiving the edict." Hu Wujing said worriedly: "If we summoned you rashly, wouldn't it be suspected of falsely preaching His Majesty's will?"

"This"

When everyone heard the words, they showed hesitation.

After a while, the Imperial Physician Order murmured: "The eldest son Fusu and the general Meng Tian are all important officials who guard the northern border. If we rashly summon them and affect the situation in the northern border, I'm afraid we will have to bear the blame!"

Hearing this, everyone nodded slightly.

Li Si said solemnly: "When your Majesty was here, he once told the old man that Jiuyuan is the gate of the country, and nothing can be lost. Now, the Xiongnu Shanyu Maodun is rising, and the foreign troubles in northern Xinjiang are becoming more and more serious."

"General Meng is responsible for guarding the gate of the country, and the eldest son Fusu is the supervisor of the Jiuyuan Army. Both are indispensable. Think about it, everyone, how hard it was to destroy the six kingdoms. His Majesty has never transferred the frontier army to the south, let alone today? "

"Once the Huns know that His Majesty is leaving, they will definitely invade the frontier. At that time, the two commanders will not be there, and the frontier will be in danger!"

Hearing this, Feng Jie said impatiently: "If you don't call them, you won't call them. Why does Li Xiang say so much?"

Li Si: "."

Hu Wujing: "."

Imperial Physician Order: "."

The three of them looked at each other without saying a word.

After a while, Li Si said again: "Not calling them doesn't mean I don't know them. The old man should issue an official document to inform the eldest son and General Meng of the east tour and the results of the Xianyang Chamber of Commerce. If they have any objections, we must Hurry back to the book."

"Okay, okay, don't be wordy."

Feng Jie interrupted Li Si again impatiently.

Li Si was rare and gentle, and didn't bother with him.

But Hu Wujing at the side couldn't stand it any longer, and said coldly: "What is the meaning of General Feng? Could it be that this place is used as a military tent?"

"I just don't want to hear your babbling, talking about a few words for a long time!" Feng Jie replied disdainfully.

"You are presumptuous!" Hu Wujing blew out his beard and stared angrily at Feng Jie.

Li Si hurriedly comforted: "The two are important ministers of the country. At this time of crisis, we should unite as one, and don't hurt the harmony. I am cautious, please forgive me!"

"Why should Li Xiang be like this!"

Feng Jie stood up a little dissatisfied, looked around the crowd and said, "Even if His Majesty is gone, there are still us veterans of the empire. Could it be that the sky of Great Qin will collapse?"

As he spoke, he sternly shouted: "I'm going to talk here today, whoever dares to disobey His Majesty's will, whoever dares to disobey the prime minister's order, I will be the first to stand up and cut off his dog's head!"

"Damn it, the state owns the country's laws, and the military has its military regulations. Who would dare to go against it?"

"General Feng, be careful! Be careful!"

Li Si hurriedly held Feng Jie down, bowed to the rest of the crowd and said, "Although General Feng is serving as a doctor of imperial history, he is from a military background, so he is rude. I hope you will forgive me."

"Li Sid has received everyone's support, and I am very grateful. Now that this matter has been decided, Li Si will make arrangements and leave!"

After speaking, he turned and left the hall.

"This old prime minister, why did he go on a tour to the east, and he became less courageous." Feng Jie looked at Li Side's back, and couldn't help muttering.

"All the affairs of the country are in the hands of Li Xiang, and he has to walk on thin ice!" The imperial physician Ling sighed.

"Too."

Feng Jie nodded, and said with emotion: "It's hard to embarrass the old prime minister!"

Li Si returned to Xingyuan, immediately issued an official document, summoned the three princes and nine ministers to discuss state affairs.

In the early morning of the next day, all the ministers appeared in the main hall of Ganquan Palace on time.

Although Daqin respected the right, Feng Quji occasionally felt cold on the way back to Qin, and Li Si could only be responsible for many matters.

At this time, Li Si stood under the throne, bowed his hands to everyone and said, "Ministers!"

His tone was extremely painful, and it was all awe-inspiring.

"The reason why today's court meeting is in Ganquan Palace is because of a major change, and this major change is related to the future of my Great Qin..."

Before the words fell, Li Silao burst into tears, and said falteringly: "Everyone, Your Majesty is leaving us!"

Feng Jie supported Li Si, and said in a low voice: "Li Xiang is an important minister of the country, how could he lose his composure like this?!"

After finishing speaking, he could only hear the wailing in the hall, and couldn't help being angry, and shouted one after another: "Cry! Cry like a bird? Do you want to have a court meeting? Shut up for the general and listen to Li Xiang's arrangement!"

The duty of the doctor censor was to supervise the officials. Feng Jie had a hot temper and was upright. After a while of scolding, the hall suddenly fell into silence.

Li Si calmed down, raised his hand to stop Feng Jie, and said in a hoarse voice: "Right now, we, the three gentlemen, should follow the law and work together to bring justice to the government!"

After finishing speaking, he looked around at the ministers and continued: "The first important thing today is to report the details of the inspection, and then we will decide on the national funeral!"

Hearing this, Feng Jie went straight to Li Si, and said loudly: "Ministers, I have already confirmed with Ting Wei's Mansion and the Imperial Medical Office about your majesty's matter. During your eastward tour, your majesty was poisoned by the unfilial eldest daughter Ying Yuanman. Difficult to burn in Handan Zhonghuangshan Temple."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and took out a piece of silk cloth, and added: "This is a document approved by the Sanfu, Zhang Tingwei, read it out!"

Zhang Ji left his seat, knotted the silk cloth, and read word by word: "The inspection of the three palaces concluded that: in the 37th year of the first emperor, on March [-], the emperor was attacked by the remnants of the six kingdoms during his east tour.

After receiving a secret report from Hu Wujing, the old Chang Feng, about the theft of jade seals by Ting Wei Yao Jia, the emperor's special doctor ordered Meng Yi to return to the country and deal with it with full authority.

In the afternoon of the same day, he wrote the will and handed it over to Zhao Gao, the magistrate of CRRC Mansion, and sealed it in the copper box of seal amulets.

They crossed the river in Xiayang and marched towards Handan. On March [-], they entered Handan City. "

"On the night of March 28, the emperor couldn't sleep at night, so he summoned Dianke to discuss the late return of Lord Li An. At Yinshi, Princess Huayang broke into the Handan Palace and informed the emperor that Lord Li An had been assassinated;
The emperor was worried about Li Anjun's safety, so he sent Dianke Dunwei to rescue him. However, His Majesty was worried, and quietly left the palace without a trace. "

"On March 29, Prime Minister Feng Quji of the Right, Prime Minister Li Si of the Left, and Zhao Gao, the Commander of CRRC, discussed the governance of Su Neishi and Zheng Guo, and respected the emperor's oral edict. , while looking for the emperor's trace, until the end of July, but failed."

"The three prefectures jointly determined that the emperor's death was caused by Princess Huayang's rebellion. There was nothing wrong with the east tour. How to announce the national mourning is up to Prime Minister Li. The 37th year of the First Emperor, August."

After reading this, Zhang Ji turned to look at Li Si.

Li Si wiped away his tears and looked at the ministers in the hall: "Ministers, do you have any objections?"

"We have no objection"

All the ministers in the hall shook their heads silently.

Meng Yi suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Although I have no objection, I still want to ask one more question."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned and looked at Meng Yi in unison.

"Meng Shangqing please ask."

Li Si choked up, raised his hand and said.

Meng Yi said expressionlessly: "Dare to ask the survey of the three prefectures, who is His Majesty the emperor's edict, and who is it to convey? Can the accompanying historian be present? Why did the east tour divert to Taiyuan instead of Jiuyuan? How can this route be wrong?"

"Zhang Ji answer!" Li Si waved his hand towards Zhang Ji.

"it is good."

Zhang Ji responded, then stepped forward, cupped his hands at the ministers, and said, "Meng Shangqing said that the three houses also had doubts. After investigation, it was found that when His Majesty was on his east tour, he was attacked by the remnants of the six kingdoms. It is suspected that the inside should cooperate with the outside." ;
Therefore, His Majesty sent out the historian.

The people His Majesty trusts are nothing more than Meng Shangqing, the two prime ministers, Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC Mansion, and Dianke Dunwei. "

Meng Shangqing returned to the country because of Yao Jia's incident, and because of His Majesty's censure, the two prime ministers closed their house to think about their mistakes. The only people around them were Zhao Gao and Dunwei.

Because Dunwei rescued Lord Li An, he did not return for a long time. The only person around His Majesty is Zhao Gao, and Zhao Gao alone narrated it. Although it is an isolated evidence, there is a precedent for Zhao Gao to accompany His Majesty alone.

As for the diversion to Taiyuan instead of Jiuyuan, one is that His Majesty has a last order, and the other is that the six kingdoms in Shandong are determined to restore the country, and they are afraid of affecting the overall situation of the Eastern Tour. I wonder if Meng Shangqing still has doubts about this answer? "

"No doubts for now." Meng Yi with a sullen face, retreated to the ranks.

Feng Jie said with some dissatisfaction: "What is no doubt? If you want to ask, you can ask freely. Don't make it look like we are deliberately hiding it from you!"

"General Feng, since Meng Shangqing has doubts, why don't you call Zhao Gao and ask Meng Shangqing to ask him face to face?" Li Si reminded Feng Jie.

"Why do you spend so much time?"

Feng Jie stared: "The Great Court Conference is decided by all the ministers, how can the progress of the Great Court Conference be delayed because of him?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "You all said, do you have any objections?"

"No objection." Everyone echoed.

"it is good!"

Feng Jie yelled: "All ministers are the same, regardless of isolated opinions, the prime minister will continue the process of the Great Court Assembly!"

Hearing this, Li Si shook his head helplessly, and then cupped his hands towards Meng Yi: "Your objection can be settled privately after the court meeting is over. General Feng upholds righteousness, and I should put the big things first. I hope you will forgive me!"

Meng Yi heard the words and remained silent.

Li Si didn't bother anymore, and said to all the ministers: "The second major event in today's court meeting is the emperor's death. Before we decide on the national funeral, we should confirm the imperial heir. Ministers, do you have any objections?"

"Li Xiang said that before the national funeral, the candidate for the heir should be determined?" Feng Jie asked loudly.

"Exactly."

Li Si said solemnly: "A country cannot live without a king for a day."

"At this critical time, the old man agrees with Li Xiang's proposal." Feng Quji was the first to agree.

"I have no objection." The ministers choked up.

"it is good."

Li Si nodded with tears in his eyes: "Then finish the meal and then vote."

"What's the situation? This is?"

Feng Jie was confused by Li Si's operation, and he was the first to stand up and yell, "Why did you start dinner all of a sudden?!"

Li Si smiled wryly and said: "General Feng, all the ministers arrived early in the morning, and now it's noon. When the country is in crisis, the body is the most important thing."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Feng Quji waving his hand: "Okay, okay, let's talk after dinner!"

"This"

Feng Jie opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Feng Quji glared at him, and said in a low voice, "You're the only one who talks too much, and you can't even keep your mouth shut when you eat!"

"father!"

Feng Jie shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Father, my name is Prime Minister Feng!"

Feng Jie: "."

Feng Quji: "."

The two looked at each other without speaking.

After a while, Zheng Guo stepped forward and sighed: "If you don't establish a crown prince, everything will be uneasy. After lunch, the decision should be made in the morning!"

"Old Lingqing thinks that the prince should be the crown prince?" A courtier came over and asked in a low voice.

Zheng Guo glanced at him, and said lightly: "Who will be the crown prince, naturally His Majesty has the final say, how can we decide?"

"It makes sense."

The courtier who asked the question nodded and said: "Since Your Majesty has left a will, we will obey it."

After speaking, he left the hall on his own.

But Feng's father and son, Li Si, Meng Yi and others in the main hall remained silent.

Time passed quickly, and those courtiers who finished their lunch quickly returned to the main hall.

"Ministers, a country cannot be without a king for a day. It is very important to establish a royal court. I hope that all ministers will express their opinions!"

Li Si stood still, said something solemnly to everyone, then took out a bronze box and put it on the table: "After your majesty finished writing the imperial edict, he ordered Zhao Gao to seal it in the seal box. The bronze box is exactly the box that His Majesty ordered Zhao Gao to seal up;

The edict in the box has not yet been opened, so the old man swears to the heavens: No matter what the content of the edict is, this old man will definitely obey His Majesty's will, but if he disobeys, he will be punished by heaven and earth! "

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand towards Feng's father and son: "The two ministers supervised the imperial edict."

Feng Jie turned his head to look at Feng Quji. Seeing that his father didn't speak, he couldn't bear Li Si's embarrassment, so he spoke first: "Why is Mr. Li so troublesome? Since you have made an oath, you should open it yourself. We have so many eyes, why are you afraid? Are you fake?"

"General Feng is the imperial censor, and Prime Minister Feng ranks among the three princes. This is a state matter and should not be trifled with!" Li Si said with a displeased face.

Hearing this, Feng Jie pursed his lips, and looked at Feng Quji again: "Prime Minister Feng, is the supervisor's edict?"

"Humph!"

Feng Quji snorted coldly, stood up suddenly and said: "The old man and Doctor Yushi supervised the edict!"

After finishing speaking, he went straight to Li Si's table, carefully inspected the bronze box, and found that the box was sealed and intact, so he turned to the ministers and said, "After confirmation by the old man, the imperial edict is sealed correctly!"

At this time, Feng Jie also stepped forward to check, and said loudly: "This general also checked and found nothing wrong!"

After the two confirmed it, Li Si took out the clerical knife and handed it to Feng Quji: "Feng Youxiang, Qizhao!"

Feng Quji took the clerical knife and opened the box. Feng Jie who was on the side said loudly again: "The edict box is opened, and the internal system is correct!"

As soon as the words fell, Feng Quji stretched out his hand and took out the white silk in the box, unfolded it in front of all the officials, and then said in a calm manner: "If anything happens to me, Li Si will take care of the government and issue orders to stabilize the country and deal with the aftermath. thing!"

Hearing this, the ministers were taken aback.

It wasn't that they doubted the name of Minister Li Si Gu Ming, but they were surprised that there were two copies of this imperial edict!
