Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 700 Taking risks (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)
Feng Jie looked annoyed at the emperor, but he was not afraid at all.

Standing in the position of the Prime Minister, you cannot take a step back. If you take a step back, you will be in an abyss.

The emperor drove away all the famous military families, which was a sign that the times needed.But now the Feng family is still standing and will not be eliminated by the times.

Since Feng Quji can reach the position of prime minister, he naturally knows all the secrets of the empire.He even knew things that the emperor didn't know.Where there is a large population and high taxes, which people in the government have real talents and knowledge and can be reused, and which people appear to have no connection on the surface, but are actually forming cliques behind the scenes.

Feng Jie may know less than Feng Quji, but he definitely knows more than Fusu. After all, Feng Jie is more than twenty years older than Fusu and has a clearer understanding of the situation in Qin.

Fusu refused to oust Feng Quji at the beginning, and the consequences were quite serious. This meant that Fusu ousted the power of the First Emperor's confidential secretary, which was tantamount to creating an enemy for himself within the empire.

This time Feng Jie came to admonish, his original intention was to tell the second generation about this matter.

At this time, the Second Emperor was sitting in the hall holding the sword, tapping the blade with his index finger, apparently thinking about it.No one can see the expression behind Chui Yan, but they all make their own guesses.

After thinking about it for a while, the second generation only said:
"What Wu Xinhou said is indeed correct. If so, I will issue an edict to summon Zhao Tuo's 30 troops back to Guanzhong."

After hearing this, Feng Jie raised his head and smiled, then bent down and bowed:

"His Majesty, the Emperor, has been so kind to the world that all the literati in the world cannot help but admire him. Now that His Majesty has officially ordered to withdraw the 30 soldiers guarding the border and return to their hometowns, they will definitely be more loved by the people. Especially those widowed and lonely people in Guanzhong will definitely be grateful to Your Majesty. It's just that I think that if His Majesty recalls the 30 troops blindly, it might shock the people of the world."

"Which one?"

"Although one hundred thousand households in Jiangdong must be forcibly relocated to Kansai, the intricate forces behind it cannot be solved in three to five days. I have volunteered today and am willing to go to Jiangdong in person to suppress Jiangdong and control Jiangdong for His Majesty. Officials, people, people.”

The second generation couldn't help but look at Feng Jie with raised eyebrows.

"Wu Xinhou actually has this intention?"

"My father was the prime minister of the empire and an important minister of the late emperor. Now that he has passed away, Feng Jie will naturally follow my father's wishes and consolidate the cause of unifying the empire. Now that I am staying in Xianyang City, there is nothing I can do to help your majesty. I sit around every day In the palace, I see His Majesty the Emperor and all the officials in the court working tirelessly for the empire, I see it in my eyes and feel anxious in my heart."

"I want to contribute to His Majesty, but I have never been able to do it. Now that I know that Your Majesty has such intentions, I have taken the initiative to ask for help. I am willing to go to Jiangdong in person as the Marquis of Wu Xin to suppress it for Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty has set a five-year period some time ago, and I am willing to lend a helping hand to achieve eternal achievements in this era of great governance. I am willing to swear to your Majesty in this court in front of everyone. If your Majesty is willing Give me five years, and I can make everyone in Jiangdong bow to Your Majesty."

Feng Jie's name was well known in the court, and these words attracted the attention of everyone in the court.

Everyone knows that both the First Emperor and Qin II had a common taboo against generals with different surnames pursuing enfeoffment.The generals were especially taboo. Even the late emperor was afraid that the meritorious generals would come to him to ask for a fiefdom. However, Feng Jie did the opposite and openly said such words in the court.

Everyone thought he was crazy, but the second generation felt that Feng Jie was surrendering to him today and using his strength to show his loyalty to him.

It was a bit risky to say such words openly in the court, but it was the best way to prove his worth to Qin II.Without power, Feng is an empty shell with only glossy charts. Soon, it will turn into a corpse and rot to death.

Perhaps the sharp sword that penetrated the heart of the empire was not the survivors of the Six Kingdoms, but its own people within the Qin State.

Feng Jie raised his head, his eyes were clear.

"Please also ask His Majesty the Emperor to trust Wei Chen and give Wei Chen a chance."

Between the monarch and his ministers, abandoning emotional ideals is actually an exchange of interests. What the emperor wants is the absolute loyalty of his ministers, and what the ministers want is the power and wealth bestowed by the emperor.

Feng Jie and Er Er looked at each other for a long time.

Qin Er actually stretched out his sleeves and then smiled.Since ancient times, there have been loyal ministers and powerful ministers in the court. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. How can the huge Qin State not accommodate Feng Jie?

"Marquis Wu Xin has lost his father and uncle one after another, but he still wholeheartedly serves me. It is really rare. You should all imitate Marquis Wu Xin."

After hearing this, all the ministers smiled and bowed their hands, and said in unison:

"Marquis Wu Xin is really beyond our reach."

Some people said things insincerely, and some people were sarcastic. They all looked at the joke Feng Jie made in the court today. This matter in Guandong really needs strong people to handle it. Feng Jie's family is a hard worker of the Legalist school and has outstanding strength.If their family had not been busy fighting for power in the past and focused on national affairs, the Feng family would not have had to suffer their sanctions.

"He who knows the current affairs is a hero. I think the only hero in the court is Feng Jie! Since I ordered the levy of corvee and small taxes, from the three princes to the nine ministers, only the official Feng Jie took the initiative to disperse three thousand servants. , I knew about this a long time ago, but when I looked at the ministers later, there was no one who sent retainers. Instead, everyone was rushing to recruit retainers and buy servants. In the Yangyang Empire, if everyone is running for personal gain, the empire will be How can it last forever? Will it not have the same fate as the vassal states of the Spring and Autumn Period in the history books?"

The second's phone call scolded everyone in the court except Feng Jie, and on the contrary, it made all the officials in the court unable to understand the emperor's mind.

It seems that His Majesty is planning to reuse the Feng family again.

At this time, the bell rang suddenly, and the visitor sitting beside the emperor's seat came forward:
"Your Majesty, noon has arrived. Do you want all the ministers to rest?"

"can."

After saying this, the emperor left early.

The visitor turned to face everyone and said:
"His Majesty the Emperor has prepared meals for you, please follow me to the apse to enjoy."

Meng Tian replied on behalf of all the officials:
"He who is willing to lead the way."

After saying this, all the ministers retired one after another and went to the back hall to have a meal.

Each of the ministers has his own seat, and according to his status, his own meal is also ranked.People with low official positions naturally eat more vegetarian dishes and less meat.

This kind of gathering is inevitable on weekdays, but Feng Jie always sits alone.

Today, he was praised a few times by the emperor. As soon as he sat down, the former vassals of Feng Quji and now the officials, several generals and two ministers all gathered around and asked Feng Jie questions.
