Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 277 Restoring Zhou Li is no longer out of reach
Taichang originally tasted the dishes for the king to prevent someone from plotting against the king's attendants, but those who could taste the dishes for the king to test poisons naturally became the emperor's confidant over time, and his status was naturally high.

The person who was originally responsible for tasting the dishes for the emperor was now assigned to the Shaofu's subordinate Shang Shiling.Fengchang evolved into a senior official in charge of the sacrificial rituals in the ancestral temple.

And then talking about the servant, Zhao Gao can be regarded as 20 years of hard work has not been in vain. Now that he is listed in this court, everyone naturally congratulates him.

But this servant was originally an official in the Zhou Dynasty, but was placed next to him in the Qin Dynasty and was in charge of the royal carriages and horses.The emperor's coachman enjoyed such a high status in the court, which is certainly worth pondering.

Then there is the Shaofu.The Shaofu is in charge of the emperor's private property and takes care of the emperor's daily life.

Listed one by one, all the high positions were monopolized by the emperor's cronies. Except for the two prime ministers, the only ones who really maintained the operation of the country were Lang Zhongling, Zhisu Neishi, and Tingwei among the nine ministers.

Although the Lang Zhongling had a high status and was in charge of the officials and servants, the Lang Zhongling was mainly in charge of discussions in the palace, guest praise, receiving memorials, and palace guards.To put it bluntly, Lang Zhongling is Ying Zheng's top bodyguard.

The military general was responsible for admonishing the officials and doctor Pu She, who was in charge of the internal history of Xianyang, the capital, but was sent to suppress the border areas.

From the perspective of newcomers, these things naturally appear very strange; but in the current court, in everyone's eyes, all these things are considered normal.

What Fusu has to do is to make this seemingly normal bureaucracy that seriously affects the central control of local governments truly normal.

Ying Zheng really can't govern the whole world by himself. If he leaves the state machine like the imperial court unused and treats the courtiers as just servants to help him, it will only turn Qin into an empty frame with only appearance.

Draining blood from the outside to inject fresh blood into the Qin court is very costly, and it is easy to be resisted by the original powerful. Before the outside blood is introduced, the people in the court must first be used.

Such as admonishing the doctor and Dr. Pushe.

Especially Dr. Pu She. After the war was over, the power of Confucian scholars continued to grow, and because of the Taixue Dispute, Confucianism became even more famous.

Li Si also shot himself in the foot. The Qin Legalists were not recognized by the world, which in turn gave a kick to the Confucian scholars of Qin.

Return to court meeting——

Fusu went to the council openly again, although Yingzheng was very angry because he really didn't know how to control himself.But his proposal did make some sense.

After the war, the wasteland was developed and grain production increased.

The State of Qin has always emphasized agriculture. Although this emphasis on agriculture serves the farming and warfare system, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty could not change this habit for a while.

Talking about opening up wasteland, Ying Zheng himself became interested.

With increased grain production, more grain can naturally be stored in the national treasury.

Ying Zheng looked at Tu Wei again.

"Tu Wei, what do you think?"

Tu Wei was called out by Ying Zheng for questioning twice in the court, and naturally he felt like two deer jumping in his heart.He has no political talents, so it is not his turn to answer these questions.

It is said that His Majesty the Emperor has many eyes and ears and is well-informed.

It must be because in the past few months, he often invited generals who were idle at home to visit his house.

This court is sometimes more dangerous than the battlefield.

Tu Wei had already learned about this.

Therefore, saying nothing or saying less in court is the way to be wise and protect yourself.

Tu Wei was in a daze for a while before he managed to organize his words.

"Reporting to your majesty - I think that what the prince said is absolutely true."

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"In the same words, you spoke to me twice. Are you deliberately trying to deal with me?"

This sentence, neither light nor serious, reached Tu Wei's ears, and he suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

I broke out in a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, I deserve death for my crime. Please forgive me."

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Tuo again.

Zhao Tuo also felt that His Majesty might want to call him, so he had already made preparations.

The generals often had banquets and parties, and he was a big part of it.

But Zhao Tuo is much calmer than Tu Wei.

"Your Majesty, the world is at peace. Thanks to the wisdom of your Majesty's spirit, the people have been spared from the suffering of war. Now that we are unified, we naturally have to deal with people's livelihood. The prince's proposal is to engage in farming to support the people. This is a good idea. I hope your majesty will accept it. "

His majesty's tone made all the officials tremble with fear.

Especially those generals.

After hearing Zhao Tuo's words, Ying Zheng's expression softened slightly.

Ying Zheng looked at the courtiers again.

"What do you think, gentlemen?"

"Your Majesty, in the era of reunification, the country's priority is no longer war, but the people's livelihood. I believe that anything that benefits the people's livelihood should be done."

If Mao Jiao didn't mention the word "people's livelihood", Ying Zheng would have almost forgotten that he, Mao Jiao, also came from Confucianism.

There may not be anything undesirable about benevolent government.

This is what Ying Zheng has realized in the past two years.

What Ying Zheng said to Tu Wei just now showed that he was very unhappy.The emperor was angry and all the courtiers were shocked.It was very depressing at the moment, and no one dared to speak.

It is this time.

Chunyu Yue felt that it was time for the great scholars like them to take the initiative to speak.

The world is unified, military generals and debaters have no place to use their skills, and the Confucian scholars in the court have long been eager to try.In the past, they were suppressed by the military generals and the legalists of Qin State, and never had a chance to stand out.

But it's different now.The Taixue Discussion fully proved that Confucianism was worthy of being a prominent school in the world and was once again recognized by hundreds of schools of thought.

After this 'battle', the Confucian scholars in the court of the Qin Dynasty have unprecedented confidence in their schools.

On the one hand, this confidence comes from the unanimous recognition of Confucianism by hundreds of schools of thought in "Lü Lan"; on the other hand, it comes from the current situation.

In the past, princes stood side by side, heroes competed with each other, and wars continued. Kings were busy preventing themselves from being conquered and annexed, and conquering and annexing other countries. The ideal of Confucianism could not be realized at all.

But it's different now.

The world is unified, there is no war, and the paradise for the common people in the minds of their Confucian scholars has a foundation.

Restoring Zhou Li is no longer an unattainable dream.

Chunyu widened his sleeves and took a step forward.

"Your Majesty, I have a proposal."

If Chunyu Yue didn't stand up, Ying Zheng hadn't noticed that this Confucian man was already planning to cause trouble in the court.

Ying Zheng frowned and hesitated for a while.

"Say--"

Confucian people once laughed at the military commanders of the Qin Dynasty.General Qin said that their Confucian scholars were decorations of the Qin State. They only sounded nice, but in fact they were of no use.

Seeing this scene, the eyes of the Confucian scholars who were placed in the corners sparkled.

"Your Majesty, today we are unified and all people in the world are free from war. This is all due to His Majesty the Emperor, who has created great achievements to nourish the people of China."

It's not Chunyu Yue's style to praise Ying Zheng so much.

Fusu was a little surprised when he heard this.

Even Li Si was quite surprised.

Fusu knew his teacher, and Li Si knew his friend.
