Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 464: The Great Pillar of the Empire! (Please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

This was just a small court meeting, and all the ministers and ministers were present. Everyone was sitting at their seats. The atmosphere in the hall was not as solemn as a large court meeting, and was much more relaxed and comfortable.

The ministers were naturally in a state of relaxation just like the emperor.

But the second generation suddenly said this sentence,

The people in the game haven't noticed anything yet, but others won't.Father, like son.

After hearing this, Meng Tian naturally felt that the emperor's words were pleasant to his ears.

"Your Majesty, I don't mean to make your Majesty afraid of me. I just put your majesty's country and country as the top priority in everything. I have been entrusted by the late emperor and dare not neglect at all, lest I omit something and make your majesty make a mistake. I will be embarrassed to face it after my death. The late emperor."

Fusu naturally frowned slightly after hearing this.

"With a loyal minister like Duwei, I think the Great Qin Empire will be able to last forever. Today, I named Duwei as the Great General of the Zhu Kingdom."

When this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked.

Didn't the emperor elevate Meng Tian to the position of the most powerful official in the empire?

Especially the Prime Minister.

Feng Quji was naturally worried about the establishment of the Inner Dynasty, but he just didn't show it to outsiders.But someone divided his power, so he naturally felt that his position as prime minister had been demoted a lot in the court.

Now His Majesty has granted Meng Tian the title of Dazhu Kingdom. Doesn't this directly allow Meng Tian to surpass his status in the court?

Although Meng Tian originally had a status that surpassed everyone else in the court, but the emperor clearly granted him the title, the prime minister's face naturally became dull.

Meng Tian was also a little surprised.

He just realized in hindsight that the emperor's expression was a bit abnormal when he said those words, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the emperor granted him the title of Dazhu Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, how can this be done?"

Meng Tian bent down and refused to accept.

"I beg your Majesty to take back the order. I am a captain, and I have already been greatly promoted by the late emperor. How can I still be granted such a title by your majesty?"

"It is because of the late Emperor that I have to add the title of Captain. I am only adding the title now because I am busy with government affairs and have neglected the Zhu Kingdom."

Seeing the emperor's kindness, Meng Tian naturally began to appreciate Fusu in his heart, and was moved on the spot.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Meng Tian accepted the position, Prime Minister Feng Quji took the initiative and said:
"Congratulations to Dazhu Kingdom."

Seeing this, other courtiers naturally bent down and bowed to congratulate Meng Tian.

But after leaving the palace, all the ministers gathered behind the prime minister, and Meng Tian was only accompanied by Meng Yi.

These courtiers looked at Meng Tian, ​​with congratulations and admiration written on their faces. Naturally, they felt in their hearts that Meng Tian was really a hateful person.

But at this time, none of them revealed their thoughts to the outside world.

No one understood what the second generation was thinking.

No matter whether the emperor really valued and trusted Meng Tian, ​​he disliked Meng Tian for a while, and then awarded him many rewards, but this incident greatly aroused the courtiers' resentment towards Meng Tian.

In the past, everyone was the same. They were all important ministers left to the emperor by the late emperor.Meng Tian was originally the most trusted minister of the emperor. The Meng brothers had attracted the envy of many people, but now, everyone in the court was not as good as Meng Tian.

At the turn of autumn and winter, the cold wind blows.

The second generation left the palace and looked at the departing figures of the ministers.

I saw the two Meng brothers alone at the front of the palace corridor, and the other ministers followed the prime minister, all with solemn expressions.

Seeing such a scene, Fusu naturally frowned.

Shen Yu suddenly appeared from the side.

"Your Majesty's move today can be described as extremely fast. I admire you so much."

"He is an important minister left to me by the late emperor. I didn't intend to be like this, but he is too loyal."

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. Zhu Guo was not wrong, but he was always loyal to the late emperor."

"Who said he was not wrong? If you don't understand, restrain yourself. If the late emperor was present today, he would definitely kill him."

Fusu said seriously:
"I am the emperor, and under the emperor's rule there are such independent ministers who hold great power alone."

Shen Yu no longer dared to speak.

Fusu looked at the huge imperial city and the white air, and sighed:
"Sometimes, loyal ministers are more difficult to control than treacherous ministers. Because treacherous ministers will cling to the imperial power and have their own intentions; but loyal ministers will not be like this. They have a firm belief in their hearts, and this belief does not depend on me."

"I now understand why Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty did not use Li Bai, and I also understand why so many loyal ministers and righteous men were killed in history books. Because they did not understand one thing. In this world, the only thing that is supreme is the imperial power."

……

……

……

As soon as the Meng brothers returned to the mansion, Meng Yi's face changed drastically, and he immediately dismissed his retainers, and locked himself and his brother in the same room.

"Brother may be confused today. Yi gave his sincere advice a few days ago, telling him not to act arrogantly in front of His Majesty. Why did he actually follow His Majesty's wishes today?"

"Your Majesty has clearly stated that he is afraid of Elder Brother!"

Meng Yi was shocked and frightened.

"And what makes Yi most incredible is that after hearing your answer, your Majesty, your Majesty, was not angry but happy, and even named your brother the Dazhu Kingdom. I really don't dare to think too much, but Yi knows very well that His Majesty's move is definitely not motivated by It’s meant as a compliment.”

Meng Tian said:

"I have been an official of the Qin Dynasty for ten years and a general for 20 years. It has been ups and downs for 30 years. I have reached this day because of my loyalty to the late emperor."

"I understand what you are saying. However, I am now a powerful imperial captain, and His Majesty the Emperor needs my support."

"It is impossible to eliminate the emperor's suspicion. I have long realized that I, Meng Tian, ​​will not die well. But I do not want to be like Wang Jian, who retreated to his home for the sake of his own safety, regardless of His Majesty the Emperor's concerns and needs. The empire is in danger."

"Your Majesty has granted me the title of Dazhu Kingdom today. It was definitely not a whim. It must have been planned in advance. Since Your Majesty has already decided my life and death, if I do more, it will not change anything."

"But I see that His Majesty the Emperor's palace is unfathomable, so I naturally admire the late Emperor's wisdom in setting up such a successor for him."

After hearing these words, Meng Yi was naturally so angry that he wanted to laugh.

Meng Yi immediately threw Jiujue heavily on the ground, gritted his teeth and said:
"The late emperor, the first emperor, every word is the late emperor. Not to mention your majesty, even I feel uncomfortable listening to it. It has been almost a year since the late emperor passed away. Brother, if you continue like this, even if you don't care about yourself, you have to think about the future generations of your family. If one day , His Majesty has murderous intentions towards you."

Hearing this, Meng Tian still showed no fear on his face, he said solemnly to Meng Yi:
"Your Majesty does not dare to kill me. Killing me will make him lose the heart of the army. Unless he has found someone in the empire who can succeed me, but you and I both know that with Li Xin's style, it is absolutely impossible to become The imperial captain’s.”

After hearing these words, Meng Yi was shocked by the imperial general promoted by the late emperor.

"Brother turned out to have made such a plan."

"Your Majesty is very shrewd, and he will never kill me for the sake of the empire. Now that I have been granted the title of Imperial Pillar, I think he has made other arrangements. Furthermore, if your Majesty really wanted to kill me, how could he do it? I’ll reuse you.”

Meng Tian put a hand on his brother's shoulder and said very calmly:
"What you are afraid of will not happen. Because in the Qin State, I, Meng Tian, ​​represent the late emperor. If you kill me, Your Majesty will make the people's hearts disperse and the army's morale collapse."

After hearing these words, Meng Yi was naturally convinced by Meng Tian.

Because if the Second King wants to stabilize the country, he can kill anyone, but he must not kill his brother.
