Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 547: The Earliest Separation of Powers (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

As Feng Quji said this, he felt unbearably hot and unbearable, so he even opened his clothes.Fortunately, there are all big men in this room, so no one cares.

Feng Quji had only been around for a month, but it was as if the water had been drained from his whole body, he was skinny and out of shape.

What is even more strange is that every once in a while, Feng Quji starts to ask for water.

"Father, why don't you go and submit to His Majesty in person?"

Feng Quji listened and held it in his heart.

"No matter who I surrender to, I will not surrender to him. He took the lead in abolishing military merit and offended everyone in the Qin State. If I hadn't recognized him as the second generation, the current Qin State might not be in the same state."

Seeing how stubborn Feng Quji was, Feng Jie frowned even more tightly. There were words stuck in his chest but he couldn't express them out loud.

"I am the Prime Minister who was personally worshiped by the late Emperor. Now I am 72 years old. I am a civil and military official in the imperial court. No one can disrespect me. The Second Emperor actually puts a frivolous junior on an equal footing with me. It is simply a great insult to the Prime Minister."

This made Feng Jie feel strange.His father didn't even breathe when he spoke, but his complexion was dark and his body was thin.

After Feng Qu thought briefly about it, Feng Jie excused himself and said he would change his clothes before coming back, and then left.

Feng Quji was like a stranded fish. He immediately became angry when he saw Feng Jie. But now that Feng Jie was about to leave for a while, Feng Quji seemed to be knocked to the beach by a wave. He watched Feng Jie go out eagerly. His mouth opened, but no words came out.

Feng Jie couldn't bear to see his father like this, so he had to withdraw and find a way for his father.

In the corridor, Feng Jie asked Feng Changan:
"What exactly is your grandfather's illness?"

When Feng Changan heard this, his chest suddenly filled with anger, his face changed drastically, and he shook his head.

"Father, it's so hard on my grandfather. There used to be many doctors in the house, but they were all useless. Usually when minor illnesses occur, they can make do with it. But now that my grandfather is ill in bed, they can't even say anything. What to say."

"When the doctors met my grandfather, they all just shook their heads, but refused to say what the cause of the disease was. It can be seen that they are all a bunch of quack doctors, and I have kicked them out!"

Feng Jie was even angrier when he heard that.

"Confused! If you drive away the doctors, what will your grandfather do?"

"Father, I don't know. They have been seeing the doctor for several days, but they can't find anything about my grandfather's illness. Even a three-year-old child knows that the right medicine must be given to treat the illness! But these quack doctors, they can't even identify the illness. Why is it that the Feng family raised them for nothing."

"So I kicked them out in anger and hired a doctor outside. But the doctor outside was even more ridiculous. They even said that my grandfather was not sick, but the weather was too hot. It was simply ridiculous."

"There is a lot of ice hidden in the house, how could it heat up my grandfather?"

Feng Jie had a sword across his waist, his face was earthy, but he looked heroic.

Feng Changan looked at it with admiration in his heart, but on this occasion he still kept his inner thoughts to himself.

Feng Jie said mercilessly:
"Absurd! The doctors from the Feng Mansion outside are all selected from thousands of people, and some of them were gifts from the late emperor himself. How could the disease not be detected!"

Feng Changan was very obedient in front of Feng Jie, like a mouse in front of a big cat.He didn't dare to say a word, just clasped his fists and bowed.

Feng Jie suppressed his anger.

"Who really comes and can't find any symptoms?"

"How dare my son lie to my father, the person who is sick this time is my grandfather! My son never dares to speak half a lie."

After Feng Jie heard this, an ominous thought came to his mind.

"Grandfather has always said recently that it was God who would not spare him, and he also said that he dreamed of the late emperor."

Feng Jie took a deep breath after hearing this.

"I'm going to the palace, please Your Majesty give me a doctor."

"I think so too. The best doctors in the world are all in Xianyang Palace. But I'm worried..."

"worry about what?"

Feng Changan listened.Feng Jie became furious after hearing this.

"Bastard! What nonsense!"

Feng Jie then took Feng Changan to his own study.

A cool wind blows towards my face.

"It's much cooler here than father's room."

Feng Jie wondered if his father was just overheated, but he quickly gave up the idea. He was a soldier leading soldiers in war. He didn't understand such things, so he couldn't talk nonsense.

Little did Feng Jie know that there was only a layer of gauze separating him from the truth at this time.

Feng Jie sat cross-legged on it, while Feng Changan stood with his knees down.

"There have always been intrigues in the court, and none of the courtiers have any selfish motives. If His Majesty wants to take the opportunity to get rid of his father just because of his slightest mistake, how can the empire last long if he is so narrow-minded."

Feng Jie didn't believe that the emperor would think of getting rid of Feng so soon.

"The Feng family is the backbone of the empire. If your Majesty gets rid of our family, you will lose people's hearts."

Feng Jie was quite confident in the emperor. To be precise, he was confident in the huge Feng family.

"Every member of our family, from top to bottom, is working for the empire. Within one family, there are all kinds of military commanders and civil servants. What you just said is simply nonsense."

Feng Jie was lying on the seat, he was already exhausted.

"Is it possible that the crisis in the clan you mentioned is just your assumption about the second generation! Silly son, unless the second generation no longer wants to be the emperor, he will not dare to touch my Feng family at all."

"Father, please don't say such things again. I heard that within a sect, three generations must go through ups and downs. My uncle and my father are both very powerful ministers, and when it comes to my son, it is already the time of decline."

"My father doesn't know that the situation in the court has changed a long time ago. It is far from the situation when my father left Xianyang a year ago. Now in power are the captain Zhang Han, the Meng brothers, and Li Si's junior brother Zhang Cang. These days Talents are the most powerful figures in the court."

"Mengshi? He's just a grasshopper after the Autumn, nothing to be afraid of! Zhang Cang, the second emperor chose him because he was Xun Qing's apprentice and studied both Confucianism and Legalism. He could balance the power of Confucianism and Legalism in the court. However, Zhang Han, you just called him Captain?"

"Exactly, His Majesty appointed Zhang Han as the Commander-in-Chief of the Army Guard. However, His Majesty also ordered that although the Commander-in-Chief Guard is in charge of the three armies, he must not interfere with the affairs of the Xiongnu."

As soon as Li Xin was mentioned, Feng Jie became uneasy.

Feng Jie patted the armrest so hard that his hand hurt.

"It almost delayed the business! The Huns caused trouble, but Li Xin is definitely not the person who can solve this disaster. However, it is really extraordinary that your Majesty is Li Xin."

"But now that Zhang Han has become the guard captain, what about Meng Tian?"

"Today's imperial censor!"

Feng Jie suddenly turned pale after hearing this.

"My grandfather was depressed because of this matter. When my father asked Meng Tian to be the censor, didn't he just let Meng sit on his head? The Dali Temple under Meng Yi is not under the jurisdiction of the prime minister, and now Meng Tian's censor is under supervision Civil and military officials."

"My grandfather has not gone to court for more than a month. Recently, rumors have spread in Xianyang City that your Majesty intends to make Meng Tian the prime minister because it is the late emperor's last edict. Everyone knows this, but your Majesty cannot bear to depose my grandfather, so he only Appoint Meng Tian as Yushi doctor."

Feng Jie asked Feng Changan:

"Do you think so too?"

Feng Chang'an didn't speak, obviously acquiescing.

"I work at the Chancellery and often see His Majesty. The people His Majesty meets every day are all people who were not popular in the court in the past. Now that the political affairs hall is being prepared, the old gentlemen in the Taixue are all They all entered the court and followed Zhou Qingchen to flatter His Majesty."

Feng Jie listened, the muscles on his face twitched.

"Is it really that serious?"

"Father, this is a major matter related to the fate of the family. How could Chang'an make assumptions about Your Majesty?"

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Feng Changan frowned, he couldn't think of a way.My grandfather was ill, but he spent most of his time in Zhangtai due to official business and could not attend to his illness every day.If he came back to serve the emperor, he would have fewer opportunities to see the emperor, and Feng would be completely excluded.

Feng Quji originally asked Feng Chang'an to stay in the palace for work, precisely because Feng Quji knew that the Minister of Secretariat was actually the emperor's personal advisor. Although his status was not high, he could easily see the emperor and gain his trust.

Unexpectedly, after Feng Jie was silent for a long time, he suddenly said:
"Your Majesty is so fast, but within a year, he actually filled the loopholes of the military family."

"Why did father say that?"

"When I met Zhang Cang, he was still a nerd, and Zhang Han was just a fifth school in the past. His Majesty used civil servants and craftsmen to check and balance the military nobles, which was completely unexpected. I originally thought that given the situation of Qin State, the second generation would Under the control of the aristocratic family, the military merit and nobility system was restored."

"My uncle [Wu Xinhou Feng Wuze] also taught me before that when a new king succeeds to the throne, he must first eradicate his dissidents. My father is just too impatient. The fat sheep that originally came to his mouth has now escaped."

"Father, what should we do now?"

"Your grandfather's illness is the most important thing. I will go to see your Majesty in person and ask your Majesty to give you a doctor."

"This... In fact, His Majesty sent a palace doctor to look at my grandfather before. He just said that my grandfather was depressed..."

"Then this is a heart disease!"

"No, father, my grandfather was pretending to be ill at that time. I don't know how the doctor reported it to Your Majesty after he returned, but Your Majesty stopped sending people to ask."

After hearing this, Feng Jie was embarrassed to go.

"Your Majesty must think that your grandfather is pretending to be ill. You fool, you actually joined forces with your grandfather to do such a thing. Isn't this disrespectful to Your Majesty?"

"Father, the child has nothing to do with this matter. The whole reason is that His Majesty ordered my grandfather to set up a political affairs hall. I don't know what my grandfather is vomiting, but he doesn't want to set up a political affairs hall."

Feng Jie was confused after hearing this.

"What is the political affairs hall? First reorganize the chancellery, and then what kind of political affairs hall is established?"

"The so-called political affairs hall is dedicated to handling the government affairs of the world. It has four departments, which respectively manage the world's officials, finance, rice and grain and other matters."

"There is nothing wrong with classifying things into categories to facilitate government affairs. Is it possible that your grandfather is really old and lost his head?"

"That's not the case, father. I told my father before that the newly established Dali Temple has its own official residence and more than fifty officials. Under the rule of the imperial censor, the censorship platform was expanded by Wang Wu. Hundreds of people. Dali Temple is in charge of the world's prisons and legislation, and Yushitai supervises hundreds of officials. However, His Majesty has clearly ordered these two institutions not to listen to the Prime Minister's orders, but to report anything to His Majesty."

When Feng Jie heard this, he jumped up suddenly!
"What are you talking about? The Prime Minister is the head of hundreds of officials. I can understand why the Yushitai does not listen to the Prime Minister's words! To put it bluntly, Dali Temple is just a name change for the Tingwei Mansion. How can it not listen to the Prime Minister's words?"

"What my father said is that my grandfather disrespected your majesty. It was clearly because your majesty did not take my grandfather as the prime minister in his eyes. Moreover, the plan to build the political hall was actually because your majesty wanted to place the Taixue gang in the court. In name, it was Let the imperial minister be the head of the four departments. But if my grandfather really does this, he will not even be able to control the ministers in the future."

After Feng Jie heard this, he suddenly realized.

The power of the prime minister is like a melon. The second emperor cut the melon into several parts and distributed them to each family, so that the ministers could check and balance each other, while the emperor had sole power!
What was once the head of hundreds of officials is now only a political hall.
