Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 467 Did the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei have any intention of joining the Jin Dynasty? (Please subscribe)

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Soon the day came for Fusu to arrange a banquet for the courtiers.

This banquet was very grand.

Arrangements began early in the palace, and all kinds of delicacies were brought into the palace. As the time came, hundreds of officials entered the palace one after another.

Looking at the prosperous scene outside the palace, whether it was Meng Tian, ​​Feng Quji, or Zhang Cang, they all looked solemn and frowned slightly.

They had attended many palace banquets, and there were very few such solemn banquets as this one. There must be something wrong if something goes wrong, especially a few days ago, Fusu suddenly issued an order to split Lang Zhongling's authority into two.

It is divided into the Palace Department and the Guards Department.

Although the chief officer was still Feng Quji, the two chief officers who were actually in charge of the palace guards were replaced by Liao Ke and Hua Ji, who was originally from the clan.

The meaning is self-evident.

Your Majesty is deliberately evading Feng Quji's military power, leaving him with a prominent position but without much real power. Now, all the military power in the palace has been returned to His Majesty.

As the word 'quiet' fell, Fusu, wearing luxurious clothes, strode in front of the officials. The officials lowered their heads and no one dared to look up at this time.

The officials headed by Meng Tian quickly raised their hands and said: "This is the duty of a minister. Your Majesty is serious."

These few years.

There were eunuchs who entered the palace carrying exquisite copper plates. Various delicacies were placed on the copper plates. As Fusu came to power, chopsticks gradually became popular in the court, and various delicacies corresponding to them gradually appeared. In the eyes of courtiers.

An official quietly asked Zhang Cang for information. Zhang Cang smiled bitterly. How could he know the truth? If he knew, he wouldn't be so frightened.

quiet!

quiet!

The high-pitched shouts of Lu Chuan resounded through the sky.

It was quite enjoyable to eat.

"Grateful for God's grace."

This banquet was very quiet.

Not much noise.

As Fusu entered the hall, he announced that all the officials were entering the hall. The officials then raised their heads and walked into the hall respectfully. However, when everyone entered the hall, they would face the sharp looks of Liao Ke, Hua Ji and others. look.

Someone will probably die!

Just as the officials were whispering, a high-pitched voice came from the distance: "Quiet!"

Fusu laughed and said cheerfully: "I have really worked hard for you ministers in the past few years. I don't want to disturb Yaxing, so I will serve the banquet first."

But all the ministers attending the meeting knew that this banquet might be unusual. In addition to His Majesty's sudden actions, there was also the placement of the Guandong heroes, which needed to be solved urgently.

There was only the sound of the minister's bowl and chopsticks falling to the ground in panic from time to time, but it soon returned to calm. Half an hour later, Fusu had stopped the bowl and chopsticks.

He didn't seem to notice the strange atmosphere in the palace at all. Instead, he looked at the delicacies on his copper plate with great interest. He briefly raised the bottle to the officials, said a few words to the scene, drank it in one gulp, and then started minding his own business. Got chopsticks.

"Because I am happy."

Fusu sat on the high seat.

See this.

He looked at the courtiers below and said with a smile: "I haven't had such a good time eating for a long time. Sure enough, eating requires more people to make it more lively."

Your Majesty just wanted to resolve the matter at this banquet, but the attitude His Majesty showed was not very friendly, full of domineering and forceful.

The officials' hearts became even heavier.

However, Fusu was obviously not prepared to speak so early, and would basically wait until everyone was full before speaking, so after hesitating for a moment, he started eating.

It is easy to eat these things, but it is difficult to spit them out later.

The officials also smiled and agreed: "I think so too. I am extremely lucky to be able to eat with His Majesty."

What is your Majesty's intention in doing this?

No one knows.

Cooking, frying, stir-frying and other food recipes gradually became popular in the homes of the courtiers, but the most common deboned mutton was still an indispensable part of the state banquet.

However, based on his understanding of Fusu, Fusu would not easily mobilize troops. Now that the arrangements are so grand and solemn, he is afraid that he wants to do something big.

Fusu's expression remained as usual.

The words just fell.

This is the tradition of the old Qin Dynasty.

However, looking at the delicious food, Baiguan didn't have much appetite. He just sat upright at the table, glancing at Fusu from time to time, as if he was very concerned about Fusu's every move.

Fusu laughed and asked Wei Sheng to remove the copper plate. He suddenly sighed and said: "With so many ministers here today, I will just tell you why I held this banquet."

outside the temple.

Inside the palace.

This makes many people uneasy.

If they guessed correctly.

"With the peace of Guandong, I went to worship at the Ancestral Temple and reported the matter to the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty. When the world was reunited and the world returned to Qin, many of the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty gave me dreams and expressed their appreciation for me. "

Especially when I saw Liao Ke, Hua Ji and others always holding their hands on the handles of their weapons and drawing their swords as soon as they heard an order, I couldn't help but beat my heart.

As Fusu opened his mouth, Wei Sheng quickly shouted outside the palace: "Your Majesty has ordered a banquet."

He calmly glanced at the officials and said with a smile: "I have been on the throne for six years. In these six years, thanks to the help of all the ministers, Guanzhong is at peace and the people's livelihood is stable. Fusu has thanked all the ministers."

"Even the First Emperor is among them."

"Since I was young, I have rarely received praise from the late emperor. Regarding my willful actions, when I saw the late emperor, I was actually extremely uneasy, fearing that I would be dissatisfied and scolded by the late emperor."

Talking and talking.

Fusu also had a look full of emotion.

immediately.

He couldn't help but feel quite proud and said: "However, this time, the late emperor did not blame me and also praised me greatly. He even said that Fusu did the right thing."

"Haha."

Fusu laughed loudly.

Quite a moment of elation and comfort.

Hear the words.

The faces of all the officials were slightly different, but they were also full of emotions. The First Emperor's influence on the world was too great, and the sense of oppression was too strong.

Even though he had been dead for more than five years, Fusu still frightened Fusu so much, but this was the First Emperor.

but.

Zhang Cang frowned slightly.

The feeling of uneasiness in his heart is getting stronger and stronger. He knows Fusu and his character very well. The more he feels like this, the more careful he has to be.

But he still agreed verbally: "His Majesty's plan for Guandong is indeed exquisite. With a small amount of breadth and a minimum price, he has brought peace to the world. Such achievements are enough to shine through the annals of history, and he should be praised by the late emperor."

"This is your Majesty's wise decision."

"I am equally excited."

Fusu smiled and nodded, as if he was still immersed in the dreams of the ancestors of Great Qin, and said with emotion: "I am also very inspired, but it is just as Xian Gong said."

"The reason why Great Qin is able to achieve today's great achievements is because of the split of Jin State, which then allowed Great Qin to no longer be bound by Hangui and have the opportunity to go eastward."

"It was also because of the chaos in the Three Jin Dynasties that Da Qin was able to recruit so many talented people from all over the world and put them to use by Da Qin. From then on, it laid the foundation for Da Qin's strength."

"Without the obstruction of this powerful territory, Da Qin was able to wipe out the surrounding Rong Di and completely eliminate the internal and external troubles."

"When the three families were divided into Jin, although the Qin State did not attack on the surface, it actually gained a lot of benefits."

"It also laid a solid foundation for the subsequent sweep of Liuhe, so basically if the three families were not divided into Jin, Qin might not have a chance to compete in the Central Plains, and would be locked in Kansai by Jin, a powerful neighbor, using Hangu Pass. "

"The Qin Dynasty can sweep away Liuhe and unify the eight wastelands. The main reason is that there is no Jin State. If the Jin State is still there, it is still unclear who will win in the world."

"It's just..." Suddenly.

Fusu paused for a moment, with a look of solemnity and contemplation on his brows. He looked suspiciously at the officials below and said, "Ancestor Xian Gong wants me to keep in mind the danger of the Jin Kingdom's demise."

"I'm confused about this. I wonder if you ministers have any opinions on this? If anyone can explain it, I will definitely reward you heavily."

One word fell.

The entire hall fell silent instantly.

Baiguan's mind froze. Hearing Fusu's sudden question, Baiguan was startled and completely woke up. Everything Fusu said before was just a cover. The real purpose was this question.

Why did Jin fall?

This is the highlight of today's banquet.

With these words spoken, the banquet officially kicked off.

No one in the audience said a word.

They all lowered their heads, thinking about Fusu's real thoughts. Did he really want to ask about the death of Jin? Or does it mean something? !

The officials considered it secretly.

a long time.

The current Feng Chang Tao She came out and said: "The demise of the Jin Kingdom was caused by internal strife and a backward system. It was eventually divided among the three families of Han, Zhao, and Wei."

Hear the words.

Fusu was stunned for a moment, then thoughtfully said: "Yes, the Jin State perished due to civil strife and the system. Even when the world began to reform, the Jin State still clung to the outdated system of three armies and six ministers."

"Still obsessed with the overt and covert fights and conflicts of interests between the Qing clan, which ultimately brought this one of the world's largest countries to its knees."

"In the end, I won the world for my ministers!"

"How miserable."

"This is how the three families are promoted."

Hearing Fusu directly say that he would seize the world for his ministers, the expressions of all the officials of His Highness changed, and they knelt on the ground with frightened expressions, and said in panic: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to the Qin Dynasty, and I will never have second thoughts."

"Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning."

now.

Everyone panicked.

Fusu's words were too scary.

Fusu smiled and looked at the officials below, and said calmly: "What do you mean, ministers? I just lamented the death of the Jin Kingdom. Why are you so panicked?"

"You treat Da Qin and me like a red city. How can I not know? How can I doubt you?"

"Dear ladies, please get up quickly."

Just as the officials stood up tremblingly, Fusu added abruptly: "When the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei first became the Duke of Jin, did they ever think that their descendants would usurp the Jin in the future?"

Fusu's voice was not loud.

But when the whole palace was silent, it fell into the ears of the courtiers very clearly. The officials' faces turned pale and their legs trembled.

They are not fools.

What is unclear is that Fusu almost made it clear that he did not trust Da Qin's ministers and was worried that Da Qin would one day make the same mistakes as Jin.

In a moment of thought.

Baiguan just wanted to kneel down again.

Standing was too scary.

Fusu sat on the table, raised the wine bottle, and took a sip of his own drink. When he put the wine bottle down, his eyes glanced at the officials below.

Starting from Meng Tian.

Followed by Feng Quji, Taiwei Li Xin, Yushi doctor Ma Xing, and then Jiu Qing. Every time he glanced at the face of each person, the hearts of the officials who were watched jumped and they subconsciously held their breath.

Meng Tian is even worse.

His Meng family had a great influence in the court and the world, and he had been serving the Qin Dynasty for generations. If it were really counted, he would have been serving the Qin Dynasty for exactly a hundred years.

A hundred years is neither long nor short, but Meng is too prominent now, how can he not be feared by His Majesty?

Feng Quji also looked solemn.

The Feng family is not as prominent as the Meng family, but the Feng family occupies three seats among the three ministers and nine ministers. With such great power, how can His Majesty turn a blind eye?

Although other officials are not as wary as Meng and Feng, they still hold high positions and if they arouse His Majesty's fear and dissatisfaction, trouble will inevitably happen in the future.

How can they not be worried?

But they don’t know how to speak. How can they explain clearly what will happen in the future? And His Majesty obviously doesn't believe it.

The hall is quiet.

Fusu looked back, smiled, took the initiative to lighten the atmosphere, and said, "I just said it casually, why are you so reserved?"

"But I do have something to announce this time."

"Now that Guandong is pacified, the world is in urgent need of great governance, and the heroes of Guandong also need rewards and promotions. However, it will take some time to stabilize Guandong, so after some thought, I came up with a compromise."

"Several special economic zones will be set up in Guandong. The status of the special zones is the same as that of Neishi County. The chief officers are below the Jiu Qing, but above the chief officers of ordinary government agencies."

"For these places, the court will give great policy and financial preferences, and grant permission to promote some of the existing technical systems in Guanzhong in these counties to demonstrate that Da Qin treats Guandong equally, and also to demonstrate Da Qin's governance road."

"At the same time, we will increase the focus on education and medical care."

"Allow the establishment of primary school rooms in local areas and the implementation of the hospital system."

"However, all the finances of these places belong to the imperial court, which is uniformly distributed by the imperial court and directly managed by the imperial court. As for the specific annual salary, it will be arranged separately by the Shaofu."

"What do you think, gentlemen?"

After hearing Fusu's words, the officials felt a little relieved. They were really worried that Fusu would insist on the topic just now, and then they would really feel numb.

As for selecting several places in Kanto as special zones.

They thought about it and found that it was indeed feasible. Firstly, they could place the heroes of Guandong, increase their official positions and salaries, and also show the attitude of the court. Secondly, they could use this move to truly show the majesty and courage of the Qin Dynasty to the world. .

Let the world be convinced.

And thus, Kanto completely returned to his heart.

Just placing these heroes in Guandong is not a long-term strategy. It is okay for a short time. If it lasts for a long time, it may attract a lot of criticism.

But right now, they have no intention of doing so.

Since His Majesty has already considered it, they should obey it. Otherwise, if they leave a bad impression on His Majesty and include themselves among the "three families", they may not even be able to cry.

For a while.

All the officials expressed their approval and said, "I second my opinion."

"I think it's good."

"Your Majesty is wise."

"..."

Hearing the unanimous approval of all the officials, Fusu also had mixed feelings, deeply impressed by Ji Heng's accurate grasp of human nature.

If you propose to remove the roof first and open the windows later, not many people will object.

It's the same thing now.

But this time it's not about opening a window, but about weighing interests.

But will his banquet stop there?

"Since all the ministers have no objections, it's settled," Fusu said.

"Your Majesty is wise."
