Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 586 Nobles are already dead

"It's up to Your Majesty to decide this matter, but if I can persuade His Majesty, I will naturally intercede for them. Many of them are still my father's former generals."

"But brother is no longer a member of the military group."

When Meng Tian heard this, his chest was already full of anger. He raised the piano and smashed it to the ground in great anger.For a moment, the piano broke into two pieces on the ground.

Meng Zhong didn't leave at all. He stood in front of the courtyard gate, listening quietly to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart!
It turns out that his uncle is such an uncle!
"Fathers are like a big mountain to their descendants, which cannot be moved at all. In the eyes of my brother, His Majesty crossed the river and burned down the bridges and abandoned those meritorious generals, which is not worthy of the loyal allegiance of his subjects. However, the reality is contrary to what the brother expected. A large number of knowledgeable people Instead, the nobles supported His Majesty."

"That's because too many people are oppressed by the old system. And I can completely understand this feeling of oppression. Sooner or later, those common people will rise up and resist. This is something that all nobles should be wary of. But a lot of people forget about it.”

"Mencius's idea is to have the rulers at the bottom and the people at the top. Although it is too ideal, it is not unreasonable. If the people of a country are always being squeezed, the suffocating sense of oppression will eventually force the common people to rebel. No Protecting the interests of the common people will inevitably lead to the loss of the country."

"And the Zhongming Dingshi House in Xianyang City would rather watch the common people starve to death on the roadside than get a share of the pie. Not only that, the nobles have long been like dead corpses, rotten and smelly. Xianyang The decadent luxury in the city is completely different from that in Guandong counties."

"My brother has a broad chest, so I don't care about the rejection of the officials in the court, but have you ever thought about why those people can't understand my brother? Some people grew up in the family of Zhongming Dingshi, but their eyes only have wine and sex, and some people only have eyes. Power. And a person like elder brother who is wholeheartedly dedicated to serving the country with all his heart, is the object of their envy."

"Brother, don't you clearly feel that since His Majesty came to the throne, the extravagant and sluggish atmosphere in the Central Plains has dissipated? I think this is all the result of the New Deal. This new atmosphere has quickly spread to the people. .”

"To be disrespectful to the late emperor, many people in the world are looking forward to the new emperor's succession. My brother's worries are simply unnecessary. Your Majesty's complete elimination of military families will not cause turmoil in the court, but will bring about public expectations. The nobles have long been corrupt. , this point, the elder brother who is proficient in the six arts is more clear than Meng Yi."

After hearing these words, Meng Tian did not have heartfelt admiration for Meng Yi like Meng Zhong did. Instead, he sincerely felt that his younger brother had not grown up at all.

But Meng Tian couldn't refute Meng Yi's words. He said feebly:

"Although you are over forty years old, when you speak, you are more reckless than your 20-year-old kid [referring to Meng Qiu]."

Meng Yi naturally shook his head helplessly.

"Since my brother thinks so, I have nothing to say. But I didn't come here today just to talk to my brother about these things."

Meng Yi's words had already made Meng Tian feel unsure, and he began to wonder if he was wrong.

"You want to ask if I will help His Majesty in this matter?"

"I think that the only person left in Xianyang City who can convince the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty is my brother."

"You want me to clean up this mess for His Majesty? You went around in a big circle, saying that I don't understand current affairs, but now you want me to take the blame for His Majesty. I will never go!"

"If my brother doesn't go, someone else will go. Once someone else goes, the credit will belong to others. As the person most capable of quelling this chaos, my brother, knowing the inside story, plans to stand by and watch. This is not to embarrass His Majesty. Really? I came here today just to ask my brother to take the initiative to take charge of this matter."

After hearing this, Meng Tian was naturally very melancholy and even began to feel pain.

He sat decadently on the ground, propped his forehead with one hand, and began to think hard.

"I can't bear it. We are all in the same league, but now I have to do such a thing myself."

"Didn't my brother intend to retire after this incident? If we don't do something about this matter, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to Mengshi."

"Meng Yi, although you are a Sikou, you must not be arrogant in front of me. Don't use His Majesty to pressure me again. I am also the imperial censor who was awarded Yinsui by Your Majesty personally in the Dazheng Palace."

"Meng Yi doesn't dare. My brother and brother share the same mother. Meng Yi just doesn't want to see his brother die a good death."

After Meng Tian heard this, he looked up at the dark moonlit night and laughed for a while. When he calmed down, he shed tears quietly.

"I didn't know that things in the world were changing so fast! I watched helplessly as the generals who went to the battlefield together were now all implicated and exiled. And you actually want me to be the one who facilitated this. You are so hard-hearted!"

Meng Tian couldn't eat or sleep all day long because of what Fu Su had decided. He felt deeply ashamed of the late emperor.He didn't expect that instead of treating him as a confidant, the new emperor treated him as an outsider and was on guard!

And his own brother actually came over to persuade him and asked him to be the accomplice of the second generation. He pinned Meng Tian in his chest, making him unable to move or get up for a while.

Meng Yi didn't notice this and just continued to state his opinion.

"The relationship between your Majesty and your brother has been ups and downs. Even today, your Majesty still insists on appointing your brother as the censor. The civil and military officials in the court can see that this move is a sign of your majesty's trust in your brother."

'Censor doctor - I was supposed to be the prime minister. '
Meng Tian did not tell the truth. Reason told him that his brother was now the one wearing the same pants as the second generation.

"You mean, if I don't take action, His Majesty will lose face?"

"That's exactly what I mean. Moreover, my brother can take this opportunity to express his determination. After this incident, my brother can retire successfully. If my brother does not participate in this matter, but waits for others to help His Majesty eradicate the military-industrial complex, then not only will he My brother has lost his merits, and when the time comes, he goes to resign. Will his original intention of resigning be exposed soon? Your Majesty will definitely be furious."

"I'm not worried. Although His Majesty dislikes me, he appreciates you very much. Your Majesty may be angry with me because of this matter, but for your sake, Your Majesty will not do anything to me, Mengshi."

Meng Tian was full of jealousy, and Meng Zhong could smell it clearly through the boss's yard and two doors.

But Meng Zhong also noticed that the second generation disappointed his father.But this time, his father actually wanted to take a back seat.But based on Meng Zhong's intuition, the second generation would never agree.

Between the two exchanges, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers became tense again.
