Da Qin: Rebuked the dissatisfied ministers, held the sword towards the emperor at the beginning

at the same time.

The residence of Left Prime Minister Li Si.

"This Qin Lie really poses a problem for the truth."

Li Si also had a headache.

He also served as Jiuqing Tingwei, specializing in legal matters.

Now Wei Zhuang has initially reported the summary of the Minyue murder case to the emperor...

Who would the emperor turn to for advice?
It must be Li Si...

As for Right Prime Minister Wang Wan, at most he expressed similar opinions.

Specifically related to legislative matters.

It was still up to Li Si to make the decision.

"In my opinion, father only needs to do things impartially and there is no need to have too many headaches."

The speaker's name is Li You, Li Si's eldest son.

Li You is not very old now, so he naturally thinks about things in a simple and one-sided way.

"Hey."

Li Si sighed lightly and said: "The Fujian-Vietnam diplomatic murder case is now a mess, and it cannot be solved by acting impartially."

Li You thought for a while and said: "My son thinks that it is just to help Qin Yucheng, or to stand on the side of the Qufu Kong family... This is a multiple-choice question."

Now anyone with eyesight can see it.

The real dispute in the Fujian-Vietnam diplomatic murder case is actually between two parties.

One is Yin Lie.

Both are ancestors of the Kong family.

As for the Prince of Fujian and Yue... he is just a reckless man, and he always shouts for trial by combat.

This is Da Qin!

It's not an uncivilized land like southern Xinjiang.

"If it was just a multiple-choice question, it would be easy."

Li Si, the left prime minister, thoughtfully explained to his son: "When you are in the court, watching the situation, the most taboo thing is to only know one, not the other. In your eyes, the Prince of Fujian and Yue can be ignored at will..."

"But in my father's eyes, the old immortal from the Kong family in Qufu is truly insignificant. He is just a gun in the hands of the national captain Tu Ju!"

"The trouble now is that the Junwu Xungui faction wants to launch a southern expedition to regain control of the court. If the truth is to directly intervene, or to favor Qin Lie, it will definitely offend a lot of people... It is not cost-effective!"

……

Li Si knows very well how much people in Da Qin are eager for war!

Guowei Tu Ju is just a representative of a group.

to be honest.

Even if Tu Ju is ranked among the Three Dukes and is the highest military official in the Qin Dynasty, he must speak up for the people below him!

What sound do you make?
Naturally, we want to march south!

This is like the former border guard general Hegong. When Lu Buwei abolished the beheading system, Hegong also had to stand up and fight!

Because Duke He is in his position, if he does not speak for the people below.

So how will Duke Hui sit at the border and command the entire army in the future?
The same is true!

If Lieutenant Tu Ju fails to find a way to launch the Southern Expedition, his real power will plummet rapidly...

Among the major military lords, a new war fanatic will reappear, and then fight desperately to start a war.

Just like the original leader of the Junwu Xungui faction should be Wuchenghou Wang Jian.

As a result, Lao Wang stopped working and wanted to retire and find some leisure time.

What to do with the Junwu Xungui faction?
The only way to push out Guo Wei Tu Ju...

If even Guowei Tu Ju betrays the military class, a third person will naturally appear, and a fourth person will want to launch a southern expedition.

By the time.

I'm afraid some military fools will use more radical methods!
Although Guo Wei Tu Ju also has the problem of being too domineering, at least Tu Ju still has a certain bottom line and does not bother to do anything too low-level.

And what Li Si didn't want to offend... specifically refers to the entire military class!

These people crave war.

Even the First Emperor had to put some thought into dealing with related matters.

What's more, Li Si is just the leader of a foreigner and noble faction.

On the foundation...

After all, Lao Li cannot compare with the military class and the Guanzhong class.

At this time.

"Son Asami, I think it's always right to follow the trend."

Li You said seriously.

"Ha ha."

Li Si smiled bitterly and said, "A lot of times, it's not that my father doesn't want to follow the trend, but that my emperor doesn't allow it!"

Li Si is now in a dilemma.

He is very clear...

The emperor definitely doesn't want a war on two fronts.

Then Li Si must play the role of balancing the court, that is, suppressing the warlike desire of the Junwu Xungui faction.

But this time the Fujian-Vietnam diplomatic murder case has become famous!

How can this make Li Si feel pressured?
He could not persuade the emperor to directly hand over Yin Lie as the murderer to the prince of Minyue in order to calm the diplomatic dispute between Qin and Baiyue.

It was impossible for the emperor to agree.

Li Si wouldn't do that either...

After all, Yin Lie's actual role in the court actually belongs to the suppressive military and military noble faction.

in this way.

Strictly speaking, Yin Lie and Li Si are actually on the same boat.

And those policies proposed by Yin Lie.

Li Si also agreed from the bottom of his heart.

He really felt that... Yin Lie continued to serve as the most popular person before the First Emperor, which would be more beneficial to the country and the people than the military, Wu, Xungui faction regaining the right to speak in the court.

"Forget it, we can only take one step and see what happens."

Li Si frowned and said: "Tomorrow there will be a big meeting. Qin Lie will deal with the old guy from the Kong family in Qufu, while my father will deal with the country's captain Tu Ju... and the Minyue prince!"

Li You: "..."

Xiao Li discovered that the burden on his father was actually heavier than he imagined.

……

the other side.

Right Prime Minister Wang Wan has already made his choice.

That's right.

As the leader of the noble faction in Guanzhong.

Wang Wanhui resolutely chose to fight on the same front as the military elite, striving to start a large-scale southern expedition.

As for whether the war between the two fronts of the empire will cause an unfavorable situation.

Wang Wan just wants to say...

Li Xin's Northern Expedition consumed very little logistical resources.

It's just that Li Xin took away [-] of the most elite Iron Eagle warriors in the Qin Dynasty.

But the empire still has a surplus of 50 troops!

As for logistical armament resources, it goes without saying.

Even if Li Xin is defeated.

The Great Wall still has 20 legions to defend against the Huns in the north.

The overall situation of the empire!

Still in control!

therefore.

Southern Xinjiang must be fought!

……

In Ganquan Palace.

A court visitor quickly came to report the news.

Queen Mother Zhao Ji and the eldest princess Ying Yinman immediately learned many details of the trial, which was sensitive to Fujian and Vietnam diplomacy.

"interesting."

Queen Mother Zhao Ji leaned back lazily and said: "Man'er, this madman you talk about is really very capable! Not only is he well versed in national policies and good at mental arithmetic, he even has such a good grasp of the laws. The familiarity... makes me even more curious about him."

Zhao Ji said that she was a wounded woman.

Originally, she would stay away from men for the rest of her life.

But did not expect ...

Now another Yin Lie was born.

"If grandma wants to see him, she can call him at any time. She doesn't dare not come even if she thinks of him!"

Ying Yinman expresses the Queen Mother's decree. Who dares to disobey?

When Zhao Ji heard this, she waved her hands and said, "That's not right. It's not allowed for me to see foreign ministers casually now."

Zhao Ji still feels quite guilty for Ying Zheng.

Unfortunately.

Once some cracks appear.

I want to make amends again.

Difficult to climb to the sky.

However, Ying Yinman and Zhao Ji are related by another generation.

This situation is also relatively common in later generations. For example, the two fathers and sons may be like enemies, but it does not prevent the grandfather from doting on his grandson.

That is: cross-generational relatives.

Ying Yinman thought for a while and said: "Grandma's birthday will be in a few days. According to the old system, grandma can attend the imperial meeting tomorrow and my father will not have any objection. It happens to be at the imperial meeting that grandma can Witness whether that fanatic is really a fool."

"Man'er has a good idea."

Zhao Ji smiled, and then she felt a little sad.

I saw our Queen Mother tilting her head slightly, just in time to see the fallen leaves outside the window.

A blink of an eye.

Another year has passed quietly.

Zhao Ji usually spends her days inside the high walls of this deep palace, quietly watching the flowers bloom and the leaves fall, and then she often sighs...

She seems to have become the most respected woman in the world.It cannot be exchanged for a moment of happiness and joy.

She often thinks about it.

What does this power and respect mean to her?
Instead, she would feel like she was being shackled.

Let her face the unbearable burden at all times.

But this is Zhao Ji's responsibility!
Just as Tu Jinxuan, the former eldest daughter of the national captain, said.

These noble ladies do not need to work as hard as ordinary women, nor do they need to show off like those who are concubines.

Since they enjoy the respect and support of others!
You must bear something accordingly!
For example: endure loneliness!
Zhao Ji has done a lot of stupid things before.

She once used the life of Empress Dowager Mi Xuan to excuse herself...

But Ying Zheng said to Zhao Ji personally: Queen Mother, you are not as good as the Queen Mother Mi Xuan... much more!
that's the truth.

Empress Dowager Mi Xuan also didn't care about ordinary eyes, and even openly stayed with King Yiqu...

then.

Under the rule of Empress Dowager Mi Xuan, Great Qin annexed the Yiqu tribe at the minimum cost!

On the other hand, Zhao Ji... favored and trusted Lao Ai, which led to chaos in the country!

It is true that Zhao Ji is not in the same rank as Empress Dowager Mi Xuan.

One is a queen who goes by the name of Queen Mother!
One is an ordinary woman with the name of Queen Mother!
of course.

So many years have passed.

Zhao Ji has grown up more or less.

She recognized her responsibilities.

She also learned how to be a relatively perfect mother of the nation.

……

The next day.

Zhangtai Hall, the meeting of the great dynasty.

All the officials and princes entered the palace one after another.

Upper position.

The First Emperor Yingzheng is in the middle, and the Queen Mother Zhao Ji is sitting on the side.

This is a major court meeting.

The first important thing is not the retrial of the Fujian-Vietnam diplomatic murder case.

It's about Queen Mother Zhao Ji's birthday.

Because Feng, the head of the Nine Qing Dynasties, often served on Mount Tai due to his crimes.

The birthday of the Queen Mother will naturally be hosted by Weiyang Lord, the head of the Ying family, and Donghuang and Jiuqing Zongzheng of the Yinyang family will be responsible for the specific execution.

When the Queen Mother's birthday is almost scheduled.

Ying Zhengcai finally mentioned the Fujian-Vietnam diplomatic murder case.

Followed by.

The ancestor of the Kong family was the first to stand up and said: "Kong Xian, a common man, comes to see your majesty."

The ancestor of the Kong family was famous for his virtue!

In fact, there is no one left.

Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Well, Kong Bai has mentioned you to me before."

Well known.

The conflict between Kong and Yin Lie in Qufu was extremely deep and irreconcilable.

But the Minyue diplomatic murder case involved the diplomatic relations between the empire and Baiyue after all.

In this situation.

But the ancestor of the Kong family still wanted to come and interfere.

Ying Zheng is naturally extremely dissatisfied!

Personal revenge has been avenged in front of him!
Is this okay?

"Kong Xian, I have already concluded some private matters between your Qufu Kong family and Qin Qing."

Ying Zheng said bluntly: "Why did you get involved in the Fujian-Vietnam diplomatic murder case again?"

Ying Zheng said that if the ancestor of the Kong family hadn't been careful in doing things.

No evidence was found by Hei Bingtai of arranging the Fujian-Vietnam diplomatic murder.

otherwise……

Ying Zheng has long made the ancestor of the Kong family look good!
"His Majesty!"

The ancestor of the Kong family bowed sincerely and said: "I am involved in the Fujian-Vietnam diplomatic murder case, not for personal reasons, but actually for the stability and peace of our great Qin!"

Ying Zheng couldn't help but twitching his lips when he heard this: "Oh? Let's talk about it."

Queen Mother Zhao Ji: "..."

Queen Mother Zhao Ji couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Because Zhao Ji had seen too many faces similar to those of the ancestor of the Kong family.

one by one!

Everyone is clamoring for Da Qin, for the country, and for the people!

After all...

It's not all for yourself.

and so.

Queen Mother Zhao Ji now felt disgusted when she heard the ancestor of the Kong family talking nonsense.

But she didn't say anything.

After all, her Zheng'er has changed from King of Qin to Emperor of Jiuzhou.

She no longer has the power to interfere in politics.

This time at court, Queen Mother Zhao Ji mainly wanted to see what kind of amazing performance Qin Yucheng, who made her curious, would perform!
"His Majesty!"

The ancestor of the Kong family raised his hands and said: "For the sake of the country's overall diplomatic situation, the prince of Minyue died in Xianyang after all. We, the Qin Dynasty, should give a fair, just and open judicial trial to show the demeanor of a great country and safeguard the Qin Dynasty." Peace and friendship with Baiyue.”

"For the sake of the public opinion of the people of Jiuzhou, I have in my hand a letter of all people, which completely contains the public opinion of Guanzhong!"

"It's not easy for all the people in Guanzhong! Too many people have been harmed by wandering doctors and have nowhere to turn to for help!"

"Now that I have lost my life, I can find all kinds of excuses..."

"So! All the people in Guanzhong collectively petitioned, hoping that Qin Law can severely punish the murderer in order to maintain the judicial bottom line of killing for life!"

……

The words of the ancestor of the Kong family!

Two key points were captured respectively.

First: Consolidate the overall diplomatic situation.

Second: comply with public opinion petitions.

Once these two things are stated.

not to mention...

The image of the ancestor of the Kong family who served the country and the people really stood up to him.

"..."

With Yin Lie raising his eyebrows...

He also felt great pressure.

It’s not that the ancestors of the Kong family were more capable, or that they were better than Left Prime Minister Li Si or Guo Wei Tu Ju.

It is true that Yin Lie's current position is too passive.

The ancestor of the Kong family can stand on the two moral high ground of diplomacy and compliance with public opinion, and criticize Yin Lie for being selfish and self-destructive!

In contrast.

If Yin Lie comes up with the so-called medical progress, it requires countless bones to lay the foundation.

Useless!
The portion size is far from enough!

Medical progress and the specific effects of various drugs can be used to regain the advantage in judicial trials!

But in the face of the national situation and the overall diplomatic situation, there are still petitions from tens of thousands of people in China and China...

too difficult!
All of a sudden!
Guo Wei Tu Ju raised the corners of his lips slightly, and thought to himself that he would never again despise Kong Xian as a hundred-year-old useless person. He still has a lot of tricks up his sleeve!

At least he has the moral high ground and can play really well!

Left Prime Minister Li Si frowned...

He originally thought that Yin Lie's game against the ancestor of the Kong family would not be a big problem.

Now it seems!

The problem is definitely quite big!

If Yin Lie was completely defeated by the ancestor of the Kong family in the great court meeting...

The little maid from the Yin Yang family must be handed over.

Yin Lie's reputation will also plummet!
At that time.

The little maid of the Yin Yang family will become even more useless...

How could the prince of Fujian and Yue accept a concubine from the Yin and Yang family as a political deliverable when he returned to his country!
all in all!
The interests stated by the ancestor of the Kong family and the national captain Tu Ju are not contradictory!

The ancestor of the Kong family wants Yin Lie to be ruined!

Guo Wei Tu Ju wants to start a large-scale southern expedition!
As long as the thorn of Yin Lie is removed...

Guowei Tuju and the ancestor of the Kong family will be able to get what they want!
"Mencius said: The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least."

The ancestor of the Confucius family said again: "The Qin Dynasty originated from Guanzhong, so it should comply with the public opinion of Guanzhong in order to achieve the right path in this world!"

""Shang Shu·Zhou Shu·Tai Shi Shang" also said: Heaven listens to my people, Heaven sees to my people to see, and the people have the right to act on behalf of God!"

“That’s why: public opinion should be the foundation of a country!”

"I hope Your Majesty will see clearly!"

……

The ancestors of the Confucius family continuously quoted the words of the sages of the Spring and Autumn Period to prove the legitimacy and importance of public opinion.

Even the power of heaven in the people’s generation was stated!

however!
The wisdom of sages and wise men is not always useful!
The ancestor of the Kong family emphasized [public opinion] in front of the First Emperor...

It is destined to be counterproductive!

immediately!

"..."

Yin Lie twitched the corner of his mouth!

The ancestor of the Kong family seems to have a two-pronged approach, impeccable!
In fact, it is...ignoring the biggest loophole!

That is, the First Emperor was no ordinary king!
Ying Zheng's understanding of public opinion is definitely more insightful than the ancestor of the Kong family!
