Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 231 The Emperor's Heart Technique! (seeking subscription)
Leave Xianyang Palace.

Li Si and Feng Quji's backs were already drenched.

The two stood outside the hall with lingering fear, their faces full of shock.

until this time.

They barely figured out something.

In fact, they have been secretly manipulated by the first emperor.

Feng Quji took a deep breath, looked at Li Si with lingering fear, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty's power is getting stronger and stronger. We have paid too much attention to His Majesty these days, but we have almost ignored His Majesty. It is true that His Majesty has been in this year. It has changed a lot, but His Majesty has also changed a lot in places that we didn't notice."

"And His Majesty's mind is getting deeper and deeper, and it is becoming more and more elusive."

Li Si was silent.

He was also emotional.

In fact, he had always thought that His Majesty was looking out for His Majesty, but His Majesty had some things that he could not say by himself, so he told the ministers through His Majesty's mouth, but when he saw the memorial just now, he suddenly woke up, and he might have guessed wrong.

It wasn't people he guessed wrong.

It's a matter!
Your Majesty really wants to solve the long-standing shortcomings of the military merit system.

Moreover, His Majesty has long wanted to solve it, but he has never thought of a solution. This time, His Majesty proposed several feasible strategies, but it seems to have given His Majesty a solution.

However, Daqin simply cannot afford such a risk now.

They are clear.

His Majesty is also clear.

That's why they dared to express their feelings in the court just now, directly pointing out the disadvantages of Fusu's policies, but when His Majesty brought out the memorial, he suddenly realized that His Majesty had no intention of directly solving the military merit system. The problem.

even
It was just a pretense that His Highness called a group of ministers to discuss a few days ago.

Excuse! ! !

What His Majesty really wants to do is to solve the hidden worries that may exist within the army.

But who would dare to say that what Fusu said was not His Majesty's true thoughts?

And this is the strength of His Majesty.

Feng Quji said in a calm voice: "Right now, other courtiers are probably worried about the methods proposed by His Highness, but they don't know that His Highness has set us up, and from the beginning to the end, it was just His Majesty's thoughts behind closed doors. It cannot be regarded as His Majesty's thoughts."

"It's just that we all mistakenly thought it was His Majesty's idea."

"And it was wrong to begin with."

Li Si looked at Feng Quji, hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't think it's a mistake, it's just that the matter has its own importance. It’s tricky, but it’s just now, it doesn’t mean it will be like this in the future, those policies, in my opinion, will eventually be implemented.”

"It's just a matter of time."

Li Si continued: "The situation in the past few days was just a trial from the beginning to the end."

"There are His Highness's temptations to us, His Majesty's temptations to government orders, and our speculations on His Majesty and Your Highness."

"It's just that we keep getting it wrong."

"And even now, I'm afraid there are still many people who haven't reacted."

"It is indeed an excuse to solve the military merit system."

"His Majesty's real intention is to solve the hidden dangers that may exist in the army."

"But is this excuse really just an excuse?"

"I don't think so."

"I think this is probably your majesty's real thought."

"It's also the real intention."

"It's just that I'm clear, and His Majesty must also be clear that the world is not suitable for major disturbances, so we can only shelve it for a while in the end, but it seems that it is just a casual talk in the end, but it may not be the case in reality."

"The transfer of the generals of the army may not be the first attempt made by His Majesty."

"It's just that everything is true and false, false and true, which makes people unable to see through and guess."

"In the end, it fell on my shoulders."

heard.

Feng Quji seemed to realize something, and his expression suddenly changed.

He said in a concentrated voice: "Prime Minister Li, what His Highness said may be what His Majesty really wants to do, and the memorial we will read later is just the first step for the court?"

Lis nodded.

With deep eyes, he looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice, "This is what makes His Majesty so powerful."

"There is no negation from the beginning to the end, but there is no affirmation either. I can only wait for myself to guess everything. If someone really doesn't take these seriously and something goes wrong in the future, I'm afraid it won't be easy to exonerate myself because of these things. Your Highness has already informed you."

"But if you take this matter too seriously, if something goes wrong on the way, the blame will also be on yourself."

"Your Majesty's temperament is becoming more and more difficult to guess."

Feng Quji's heart trembled.

The changes in the imperial court in the past six months are actually not small.

Moreover, His Majesty also revealed his dissatisfaction with the current court intentionally or unintentionally.

Feng Quji asked: "Prime Minister Li, how do you think this matter will be resolved in the end?"

Li Si chuckled lightly, as if he didn't feel relieved at all, and said lightly: "Prime Minister Feng, you are now fascinated by the authorities."

"Who brought this up from the beginning to the end?"

"Your Highness." Feng Quji said directly without any hesitation.

Li Si nodded and said, "Does Your Highness have the power to decide the country's affairs?"

Feng Quji shook his head.

Although Fusu is now the prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, the power of the court is still firmly in the hands of the first emperor. How can Fusu have the power to decide the country's affairs?
Think of this.

Feng Quji also understood at once.

He smiled wryly, "Thank you, Prime Minister Li, for your explanation."

He was just a little confused before, but now he has completely thought clearly.

The methods proposed by Fusu this time were all met in private, and they would not have been made public, and the memorial that His Majesty showed later also showed that this matter will only be resolved within a small area in the end, and will not be true. Widely advertising.

The office raised by His Highness later is only in charge of the transfer of lieutenant generals.

From the beginning to the end, this matter has nothing to do with them.

They were just told.

But that's about it.

However, it was this being told that they were caught in a dilemma.

Li Si shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "It is true that this matter has nothing to do with me right now, but we must not take it lightly, because we don't know when this matter will become real, and if we cannot handle it properly, I am afraid I'm afraid it will be unstable in the court."

Li Si couldn't help reminding.

Feng Quji nodded quickly.

Li Si looked at the sky with deep eyes.

Thoughts were flying in my heart.

Some time ago, it was reported that there was a problem with Shi Huang's body, but after a few days, many people and him thought it was just an excuse to push Su to the top position, but until now, he gradually had doubts in his heart.

What if His Majesty really has a physical problem?
And Hu Hai suffered another attack in the South China Sea, which was destined to make Shi Huang worry. In order to help Su to rise to power in the future, and for the long-term stability of the empire, Shi Huang will definitely kill some hidden dangers in the army.

But the real worry of the army stems from the military merit system.

This cannot be reversed in a short time.

That's why Fusu summoned courtiers twice.

Those words seemed to be said by Fusu, maybe His Majesty wanted to tell them. At the same time, His Majesty also wanted to use this to tell them that the direction of the court has changed in the future.

At present, His Majesty still has the intention to let Fusu make adjustments steadily, but when His Majesty's health deteriorates day by day, will His Majesty still be so calm?Will you continue to pursue stability?
impossible.

He knows His Majesty well.

Once His Majesty decides to do something, he always disregards the consequences and impact.

His Majesty has always valued only the result.

That's why there have been these "meetings of monarchs and ministers" in the past few days.

Feng Quji nodded and said: "In the past few years, we can actually make some preparations in advance, and make some advance preparations for the large-scale implementation of 'enrollment', 'officials', and 'gifting' in the future, so as to avoid when we really need it in the future. I'm stuck waiting."

Li Si nodded.

The two looked around and walked away quickly.

It's just that the steps are a little heavy.

Although this matter has not been finalized, it has already weighed on their chests like a mountain, making them have to be vigilant all the time, but they are better than others, at least they have reacted, other courtiers may not.

Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng looked calm.

He asked the eunuch to bring Li Sifeng's memorial to the doctor back on the case.

This thing is over.

Everything is just in words.

What the imperial court really needs to do next, what it can do is to strengthen the control of the army.

Solve the hidden worries in the general.

As for the method proposed by Ji Heng, Ying Zheng was also quite moved, but he also knew very well that it was not the time yet, and it involved too much, and if he didn't control it well, it might affect himself, so he would not implement it lightly.

But it's not right now.

Doesn't mean doing nothing.

So he told the courtiers about these things through Fusu's mouth.

He wanted the courtiers to know what to do.

And this is the emperor's mind.

Through some true and false, false and true words, the courtiers were exhausted and fell into various suspicions, and finally had to work hard to do more to avoid getting into trouble in the end.

Ying Zheng looked at the memorial on the case, his eyes lost in thought.

He has seen the solution given by Ji Heng.

There are indeed possibilities.

It's just that he has always been wary of Ji Heng.

Ji Heng's thinking was a little too scary, he seemed to be omnipotent, and he was very familiar with politics, he didn't look like a young man in his early twenties, nor like a person who hadn't stepped into the court.

He was also different from Han Fei.

Han Fei did have a deep understanding of absolute monarchy.

But Han Fei is only a scholar after all, good at writing articles, not suitable for stepping into the court, once he steps into the vortex of the court, he will easily lose his original rationality and become mediocre.

However, Ji Heng gave people a very sophisticated feeling.

He clearly didn't step into the court, but he knew everything about the court, and he was very clear about the courtiers' psychological calculations, and sometimes he even calculated himself intentionally or unintentionally, just using a way that was more useful to him.

But this is still not liked by Ying Zheng.

He hated the feeling of being out of control.

Especially the solution given by Ji Heng, he also thought about making changes, but in the end he could only continue to follow Ji Heng's method, otherwise various problems would definitely arise in the middle.

And the solution proposed by Ji Heng this time made Ying Zheng even more worried.

Because Ji Heng wants to change too many things.

Even he can't predict how Daqin will change in the future, and when he was in prison before, Ji Heng once said that his ambition is to 'change the country, change the way of governance, change the livelihood, and change the people'.

Right now, under Ji Heng's step-by-step management, Daqin has begun to advance in the direction Ji Heng intended.

This made Ying Zheng secretly furious.

So sometimes he will deliberately suppress some things, but the effect is not obvious, and he can only turn to Ji Heng for help in the end. He also joined them, and he wanted to see if Ji Heng's intelligence was really so monstrous, even with the power of the entire court of Daqin, it still couldn't be shaken at all?
He wants to be someone who hides behind the scenes.

Let Ji Heng fight secretly with the courtiers, let him see the situation more clearly, and make more favorable choices.

Ying Zheng looked at the case with dark eyes, and said coldly: "Ji Heng, I don't know what your intentions are, but Da Qin is my Da Qin, and I appreciate some of your ideas, but you are too smart, and you let me I really can't see through."

"How can I do everything you want?!"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.

With a wave of his sleeves, he had readjusted his mind and said loudly to the outside of the hall: "Come here, go and summon Li Xin to me."

With the sound of footsteps outside the hall, the outside of Xianyang Palace became quiet.

Ying Zheng didn't think too much about Ji Heng, and focused all his attention on dealing with the South China Sea army. It was inconvenient to rush to take action before, but now everything is ready, and it is time to deal with the South China Sea.

The army cannot afford to lose.

Not at all.

In addition, I hadn't thought about how to deal with it before, but Ji Heng gave a solution, and it was very appropriate.

In the past, if there was a change in the army, the court's first reaction was to deal with the leading general, but Ji Heng's approach was different. He targeted the middle and lower-level officers and transferred them away. In fact, they are the real controllers of the army. Once they are transferred away, the general's control over the army will undoubtedly be greatly reduced, and the situation of army mutiny will be reduced invisibly.

In this way, Chaotang can also make follow-up actions.

A general's energy is limited, and his confidantes are also limited. Without a confidant by his side, even if there is a general who intends to make trouble, he will only have more energy than he wants.

The method given by Ji Heng is the real bottom line.

This is the real way to control.

soon.

Li Xin arrived at Xianyang Palace.

Looking at Li Xin's silver hair, Ying Zheng also felt quite embarrassed.

The defeat of Chu Chu was a great blow to Li Xin, and he has been completely depressed since then. Although he also participated in several wars later, it was difficult to restore his previous high-spirited spirit, and his whole person was depressed a lot.

Ying Zheng glanced at Li Xin, and said in a calm voice, "Li Xin, I called you back this time mainly for one thing."

"South China Sea!"

"You have heard some news in the army or in Xianyang. Hu Hai was attacked and killed in the South China Sea. What I want to entrust to you this time is to serve as the deputy general of the South China Sea Army and assist Zhao Tuo in destroying the Ouluo area. The South China Sea has completely returned to peace."

"in addition."

"It is to assist Fusu to rectify the military rule."

"I don't want similar things to happen to the South China Sea Army."

"do you understand?"
