Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Chapter 52 We, We Will Help Prime Minister Qin Build a Feudal Kingdom!
Now that the world is at peace, most of the lords of Gongqing are proud of their achievements, especially the old Qin people in Guanzhong.

Yingzheng does not treat meritorious officials harshly, but he will never abolish the public for private reasons, so he transfers Han Renteng to serve as the internal historian of Guanzhong.

Qin has two internal histories, one is the internal history of Zhisu, which is known to the world as Da Si Nong, one of the nine ministers.

The second is the internal history of Guanzhong, which is equivalent to the sheriff of the capital, in charge of more than 40 counties in Xianyang and Guanzhong, and his status is not lower than that of Jiuqing!

Facts have proved that Yingzheng does not have a good vision for his son, but his ability to select ministers is beyond doubt.

As soon as Nei Shiteng took office, he showed his skills and directly took the Sangong and Jiuqing's sword, which greatly satisfied Ying Zheng, who is a supporter of Legalism!
"Father, do you want to issue an edict to pardon the ministers?"

Fu Su hesitated to propose, and said: "Yesterday when the sons and ministers came back from the banquet, all the ministers were exhausted and half died."

Ying Zheng shook his head solemnly: "You sons have broken the law, and even if you want to commit the same crime as the common people, how can I forgive them?"

"The other generation, as ministers, especially Li Si, who was a court lieutenant, knew how to break the law. Most of the arrogance in Guanzhong was brought about by them."

"Besides, it doesn't matter if you're tired. It's better than cutting your nose and hands."

"If it wasn't for Qin Qing's proposal, the Ting Wei Mansion should have changed the law and changed all corporal punishments under the death penalty to hard labor, and someone else will have to suffer this time!"

These words made Fusu speechless.

However, he was benevolent after all, and turned to say: "No matter how old the ministers are, they should be punished by the descendants of the family. This is also the law."

Ying Zheng suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, looking up and down at the son who was always a naysayer.

Fusu has accumulated rich experience in getting along with him in recent days, and when he saw his posture, he immediately ran away with his head in his arms.

And in Yingzheng's hand, he did not know when he sacrificed a bundle of bamboo slips. Seeing how fast he was running, he had to give up resentfully, cursing: "Not a son of man, let alone a father!"

After a pause, he said to Fusu who had escaped from the palace: "Go and tell the ministers, when Qin Qing returns to the phase, that generation will end the hard labor!"

"Here."

Fusu stood at the gate of the palace and bowed in response, then went to Zhao Gao to borrow a horse, and led the servants to the construction site outside the city.

……

At noon, Fusu rushed to the construction site.

The sweaty ministers are sharing mung bean soup with the prodigals to relieve Qiuhu's dying backlash.

However, there are a lot more prodigals today than yesterday, and they all come to look for food to earn some change.

"Gentlemen, can you still hold on?" Fu Su dismounted and asked with concern.

"I'm worried about the crown prince."

The ministers stood up and saluted weakly, and said with a wry smile: "It can't compare to these young children, I can only say that there is still life."

Fusu nodded, took a bowl of mung bean soup, sipped it and said, "I have already asked my father for mercy... Eh, this soup is frozen?"

Old Wang Wan said hesitantly: "It was Qin Xiang who ordered someone to bring it. If it weren't for this soup to relieve the heat, my old life would have died early."

Fusu was suddenly surprised and said: "I don't know where Qin Xiang got the ice, but at this time, there is no ice in the palace."

The officials could only smile wryly again. If given a choice, they would rather sit in the stuffy duty room to handle official business than enjoy iced mung bean soup here.

Fusu saw them like this, so he continued what he said just now: "Don't worry, gentlemen, I have already asked my father for mercy, and my father said that as long as Prime Minister Qin returns to his prime, you can end the hard labor."

The officials were overjoyed and thanked him one after another, the prince is still kind.

However, when they took a closer look, they turned bitter faces.

Although Fusu, an honest man, has conveyed the meaning of Ying Zheng very euphemistically, but no matter how euphemistic, the meaning is still the same.

With Qin Mo gone, they will have to serve hard labor all the time!

And Qin Mo's resisting gesture yesterday, they all saw it again, and it was an impossible task for Qin Mo to return to his phase.

This is, the first emperor himself refused to come, but let them go!

"Your Majesty, do you understand what Your Majesty means?" Old Wang Wan said to his colleagues with a grave face.

The ministers nodded helplessly: "Of course."

Old Wang Wan drained the mung bean soup in one gulp, smashed the clay bowl, and said resolutely, "This time, Prime Minister Qin must be returned to his prime!"

The ministers were awe-inspiring, and then drank mung beans to hurt, smashed the pottery bowls and shouted in unison: "Here!"

The corner of Fusu's mouth twitched as he watched.

The prodigals around were also full of dull faces.

In this battle, are you sure you are going to ask Qin Hou Renxiang?
Why does it look more like Zhuang Xing, going to assassinate Qin Hou?
If you say "the wind is rustling, the water is cold, the strong man will never return when he is gone", even Jing Ke is not as good as...

Sensing the gazes around them, the ministers seemed to feel ashamed of being too secondary, and hurriedly said to the supervisor: "Your Majesty has an order, and you have heard it, take us to find Prime Minister Qin!"

The construction workers suppressed their smiles and nodded, and led the group of middle-aged and elderly people to Qin Mo who was inspecting the construction site.

Fusu followed immediately, but he didn't want to miss a good show.

……

When the group found Qin Mo, he was washing and peeling a fat hare by the river, while Yu Ji and the yellow dog were playing in the water, obviously planning to have a picnic.

Seeing the crowd from a distance, Qin Mo couldn't help sighing secretly that his spirit was still there, and after calling out to Concubine Yu, he wanted to flee along the river bank.

The group of ministers were exhausted before, but seeing Qin Mo trying to avoid them, they suddenly burst out with astonishing spare strength, and chased after them one by one.

Especially that Meng Yi, who is worthy of being a general, made a detour in the diagonal stab, blocking Qin Mo's way, and forming a siege with the officials!

"Qin Xiang, please restore the phase."

Meng Yi clasped his hands together and bowed to the ground to worship.

The ministers caught up and also bowed and said: "I also hope that Prime Minister Qin will put state affairs first and return to the prime minister!"

Qin Mo remained silent for a long while, then suddenly looked behind the officials and said, "Your Majesty, why are you here?!"

The ministers: "..."

The officials were indifferent and just looked at him blankly.

Using the same trick twice has no effect!
Qin Mo had no temper at all, and said with a black face: "Masters, this Marquis has already said that there are [-] slaves under his command to support, and he really has no skills."

"Nowadays, there are still countless prodigal sons who come to work. If this Marquis returns to his phase, who will earn money and food to support them? Your lords?"

What he said was as if his family's property could not make money without him.

The ministers were full of slander in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces. Instead, they gritted their teeth and said in unison: "Okay, let's make offerings!"

Qin Mo immediately shook his head, looked at the shabby crowns and robes on them and said, "Your lords are also humble and poor, so how can I want your money and food?"

All the ministers suddenly felt feverish on their faces, and they were all embarrassed for a while.

They were dressed in shabby clothes just to pretend to be poor and to avoid being ripped off by Qin Mo.

Looking at it now, it was really possible to hide from the first day of the junior high school, but not the fifteenth day.

Old Wang Wan quickly adjusted his mood, and said solemnly: "Incorruptibility comes to incorruptibility. As long as Prime Minister Qin returns to his phase, we will save money and food even if we don't eat or drink."

The officials followed and said: "Of course, we are willing to help Prime Minister Qin build a feudal state!"
