Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 478 Ministers, do you dare? (Third update)

Xianyang Palace.

Sangong and Jiuqing have already arrived.

At this moment, they are all waiting in the palace. Firstly, they are waiting for Fusu to arrive. Secondly, they also want to see who this 'Zhong Heng' is.

In fact, many of them knew the existence of Ji Heng, and also knew that his real name was Ji Heng, not the 'Zhong Heng' rumored to be.

But since His Majesty's edict is like this, they will have no objections, and it doesn't matter whether it's Ji Heng or Zhong Heng.

The restructuring that this person is about to preside over is the top priority. The restructuring is extraordinary and involves the vital interests of everyone in the government.

There is no room for them not to care.

In particular, Fusu had mentioned the abolition of the secular official system before, which had touched their heartstrings, and this was probably just the tip of the iceberg for this restructuring.

Ji Heng is a man with very deep plans.

The restructuring he led, even if it changes greatly, will have a big impact on them in the future, and it will also affect the interests of the family behind them.

It's impossible to be so calm and calm.

Now that the group of heroes in Guandong have not been promoted to the imperial court, he is already with a ray of light on his back. If he is really promoted to the imperial court, I am afraid that there will be internal strife within the imperial court, and he may be caught in the middle, unable to advance or retreat.

"I have summoned you this time, and you may also know the reason. The world is in the ascendant, and there are many things waiting to be done. It is the time to display your ambitions."

Ji Heng was thoughtful and would not be swayed by the outside world. His Majesty had previously proposed the abolition of the secular official system and even posted it.

"The current situation in the Qin Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes from that of the past. It is indeed time for changes and it is time to correct the system."

"I feel deeply uneasy about the current situation, and have finally made up my mind. However, the restructuring of the world is extraordinary, and it is also related to the livelihood of all people in the world. There is no room for negligence, let alone the slightest slight."

The hall was quiet.

"However, the imperial system was established not long ago. If it were to be changed so rashly, I would really feel uneasy, so I went to ask Old Prime Minister Li Si."

How about taking advantage of this opportunity to escape from the whirlpool of the imperial court?

He couldn't stand it anymore.

Fusu strode up to the high platform and sat on the banquet.

"His Majesty's warm invitation will bring Ji Heng a lot of limelight, and those people in the palace may not be able to suppress him."

and……

Now that there is a gap between Fusu and Ji Heng, he may also be involved in it. He is really afraid, and he is really cheated by Fusu.

Not long after.

Might as well take this opportunity to escape.

Since taking up the post of Shaofu, Zhang Cang feels that he has lost weight and is tired. There are too many things that need to be dealt with every day. All kinds of accounts are dazzling to calculate, and he has no time to relax.

"You might even get room and board."

His Majesty has arrived.

All the courtiers were trembling, and they made respectful gestures and bowed their bodies slightly to welcome Fusu into the palace.

Fu Su nodded, and the eunuchs around him immediately understood and said loudly: "Your Majesty has an edict, and he has announced the bell to pay homage to you."

Zhang Cang raised his head and glanced around casually. No one noticed him, and then he continued to think secretly.

He said calmly: "Your Majesty, please take your seats."

A hint of darkness flashed in Zhang Cang's eyes.

Zhang Cang thought.

Think of this.

There is no noise.

"If there is no way to govern the world, the country will not follow the ancient laws."

"I have been worried about this for the past six months."

I really don’t want to mix it up anymore.

There is no progress in the specific situation, but with Ji Heng's city government, the matter can probably be settled, and the people targeting Ji Heng may suffer serious consequences and be taken down by His Majesty with excuses.

"It's even imminent."

The voice of Lu Chuan came.

Meng Tian and Feng Quji were all looking at their noses and their minds, looking indifferent, but anyone with a discerning eye would know.

"And I have known this person for many years, so I specially invited him out to reform the world."

"Old Prime Minister Li Si only told me one sentence."

Done.

"After the chaos of the past few years, I gradually discovered that the existing system of Da Qin can no longer meet the needs of Da Qin, and it has also greatly hindered Da Qin's long-term and stable development."

"I have thought deeply about it for a long time, and finally thought of one person, that is Zhong Heng. This person is quite intelligent and has a lot of research on the Qin system. Although he lived in the market in the past, he has always been trying to figure out the world's forms."

"even……"

Rather than that.

Zhang Cang lowered his head and looked at the palace door curiously. His right hand kept drawing circles on his left palm, muttering secretly in his heart.

"Xuan Zhongheng comes to see you!"

"..."

Following high-pitched shouts, this decree instantly resounded throughout Xianyang Palace.

The officials below looked up.

They all also turned their attention to the entrance of the palace.

I saw a man in a gray shirt strolling into the hall. His temperament was extraordinary, and he had a sense of drifting freedom and ease.

Ji Heng stopped at the end of the rank of Sangong and Jiuqing, then slightly cupped his hands towards Fusu and said calmly: "Zhong Heng sees your Majesty."

Fusu smiled and said, "This is Zhong Heng."

"I have found an expert in restructuring from all over the world. I just rode with Zhong Heng and talked about many ideas. He is indeed very forward-looking and foreseeable."

"I'm very pleased."

"I didn't see the wrong person."

"I have decided to leave full power over the restructuring to Zhong Heng. Do you have any objections?"

Fusu looked at the officials below.

Meng Tian and others looked at each other and raised their brows slightly. Ji Heng was not a court official after all. Is it inappropriate to leave such an important matter to an outsider? Involving them may be enough.

Shi Lu came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have objections. This Mr. Zhong is indeed famous, and I have heard of it in the past."

"But the market and the court are ultimately different."

"I think it is inappropriate to entrust this person with the important restructuring matter that affects the world. I think it is enough to let Mr. Zhong participate in this restructuring."

"Your Majesty, please think again."

At this time.

Feng Quji also stood up and said: "I have the same doubts. This person has not served the court and has not made any achievements. I am worried about assigning this person to such an important task so hastily."

"I sincerely ask your Majesty to consider it again."

then.

Other officials spoke one after another, more or less expressing their distrust and doubts about Ji Heng.

Ji Heng's expression remained as usual.

When the doubts around him gradually subsided, he sneered and said: "Since I dare to take on this important task, I naturally know what I am doing."

"There are many systems in the world."

"One move affects the whole body."

"If you are not careful, it may be counterproductive, causing the original system to fall apart and the system to collapse, thereby disrupting the stability of the world."

"How could I not know about such hidden dangers?"

"But since I dare to boast about this Haikou, how can I not have any ideas? The reason why the ministers are opposed is simply because they are worried that I don't know the system of Da Qin and the current situation of the world."

"In some aspects, I do not know as well as you ministers, but I am living in the market, peeking at the world from the smallest details, and I may not necessarily see less evil than you ministers."

"And since I'm not in the court, I haven't been involved in all kinds of whirlpools and disturbances. I can stay on my own and weigh the pros and cons more accurately."

"Besides."

"When it comes to changes in the world, I know better than you what to change and how to change it. The biggest shortcoming of the Qin Dynasty is not the official system or the official selection system, but the military merit system."

"I'm not talented."

"But you dare to move."

"If any minister thinks that he is equally qualified, or even dares to be the first, and is willing to touch the long-standing disadvantage of military merit, I am willing to give up the merit."

"only……"

"Ministers, do any of you dare?"

Ji Heng indifferently glanced at the ministers present. Wherever his eyes came, everyone bowed their heads. No one dared to look at Ji Heng, and no one dared to touch this bad luck.

How could they not know the disadvantages of military merit?

But there is no way to change it. In the entire Qin Dynasty, nearly 70% to 80% of the officials at the top and bottom are all from military ranks.

The interest groups involved are too large.

It's so big that they don't even dare to have the idea of ​​​​creating a military merit system. If they don't handle it well, let alone the three ministers and nine ministers, even if they are the emperor, they may not be able to do well.

They couldn't argue.

I dare not argue.

See this.

Fusu secretly shook his head.

The ministers of the Qin Dynasty were determined to make progress before they were promoted to high positions. However, once they reached high positions, they began to stagnate and became increasingly conservative.

Although I still do my duty, I am more afraid of making changes.

Fusu said: "Now that Zhong Heng is responsible for the restructuring, do you have any objections to it?"

Everyone looked at each other and said solemnly: "I am willing to obey your Majesty's instructions."

Fusu nodded and said: "Since all my dear friends have no objections, then the matter has been settled. As for the selection of officials in the restructured government, I have also handed it over to Zhong Heng. All my dear ladies must actively cooperate."

“There is no room for error when it comes to restructuring!”

Fusu's tone became much colder.

All the officials were shocked and hurriedly raised their hands and said: "I will do my best to help you, and I will never have any selfish motives. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Fusu nodded with satisfaction.

He said: "That's good. Today I just want you to meet each other. Now that we have met, my goal has been achieved."

"Your Majesty, you can walk more with Zhong Heng."

Hear the words.

The officials immediately understood that this meant they were being asked to retreat, and they quickly raised their hands and said, "I obey your order, I will leave first."

Done.

Then he walked towards the outside of the palace.

The same goes for Ji Heng.

After leaving the main hall, no one followed Ji Heng. These officials just looked at Ji Heng coldly, then turned and left.

No matter what, Ji Heng was only a doctor, and his status was very different from theirs, and the restructuring had not yet begun. If he was so eager to follow Ji Heng, it would be a serious matter if it aroused His Majesty's suspicion.

These people are all old foxes, how could they stumble over such a trivial matter.

Ji Heng didn't care.

He also has no idea of ​​knowing the current three princes and nine ministers of Da Qin. Although many of these people are historical celebrities and their names are famous in books, he has met too many celebrities in his life.

There is no sense of solemnity at all.

Moreover, he is responsible for the restructuring, which will definitely affect the interests of these people. If they don't hate themselves, they will be good friends with him.

Ji Heng stood outside the palace, looking curiously at the imperial city of Qin, which should have been destroyed.

He paused for a moment.

He also stepped out of the imperial city.

In the city, his deeds have already spread throughout the city and are known to the public.

After three invitations, His Majesty personally invited him to ride with the emperor, etc. Now the news has spread throughout the streets and alleys of Xianyang, and the people in Chengtou City are also talking about his name.

But the name is not Ji Heng!
