Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 315 Entering Xianyang (5)

"But since Emperor II ascended the throne and Zhao Gao came to power, the reputation of our Daqin royal family has disappeared among the people. Although His Majesty has the reputation of benevolence and filial piety in Xianyang, it is not enough! To make the people of Guanzhong Qin trust the court again , His Majesty must issue an edict of guilt!"

"Only sinning oneself is the easiest way to win the trust of the people at present! It is also the most secure method that our Great Qin Dynasty can do at present!"

Zhou Tong's words made Feng Jie, Han Yu and other courtiers fall into deep thought, and also made the courtiers who were originally unhappy with Zhou Tong's contempt for imperial power feel ashamed.

After a long time, Feng Jie stood up and said in his own angry voice: "The plan offered by the official Zhou is indeed a good plan, and it is a good word for the country. But your majesty has issued an edict of guilt, which may become the biggest since the Great Qin unified the six kingdoms. A laughing stock will only fuel the arrogance of the Kanto rebellion! Therefore, it is not advisable!"

"I am an old Qin in Guanzhong, and my ancestors have believed in the royal family for generations. I can't punish my sins, but reforming the current strict Qin law is feasible! As long as His Majesty issues an edict, I think the children of Guanzhong will believe in Your Majesty's desire to reform the Qin law!"

"Therefore, the truth is that this is the second strategy! Reform the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty and abolish the tyrannical government, but the guilt cannot be ordered!"

"What Feng Xiangguo said is very true!" Han Yu, the supervisor of the Imperial Academy, immediately got up and clapped his hands in agreement.

After that, Sima Cong, Han Yu, Qin Ling and other important court officials also expressed their agreement with Feng Jie's words.

Seeing this, Zhou Tong sighed secretly, then bowed his hands to Feng Jie and Sima Cong, who were headed up, and prepared to return to his desk.

Seeing that Zhou Tong was about to return his table case, Feng Jie and Sima Cong looked at each other and then solicited: "Officer Zhou offered a good plan, and I want to enlist Officer Zhou to enter the government of the right prime minister as Zuo Changshi, to help the prime minister Is it not possible to deal with affairs, big or small, is Mr. Zhou willing?"

"Dare not to follow orders!" Although Zhou Tong looked down on Feng Jie for being so hesitant, it was not easy to refuse the opportunity of promotion in front of him.

"Okay!" Seeing that Zhou Tong agreed, Feng Jie couldn't help clapping his hands and shouted.

The officials in the hall also got up and cupped their hands to congratulate Zhou Tong, saying: "Congratulations Zhou Changshi!"

Zhou Tong also returned the salutes one by one, and the whole lobby of Zuo Xiangguo Mansion became lively for a while.

..............................

All the officials left, only Han Yu, Han Yu, Lu Ru, Liang Xu, Qingxi, Wu Hua, He Lianhe, and Zhou Tong were left behind.

"You must be very curious about what the truth and Feng Xiangguo are staying with you?" Sima Cong looked around, seeing that some people were calm and some were very puzzled, so he asked.

After Lu Ru and Liang Xu looked at each other, they heard Lu Ru say: "Although I don't know why the two Prime Ministers left me behind, I can guarantee that if it is useful for me, I will serve you and Liang Zhonglang! "

"General Lu Yun and Liang Zhonglang have this heart, and it is not in vain to leave you to discuss with Feng Xiangguo!" Sima Cong heard the words, the corners of his mouth raised, as if Lu Ru and Liang Xu's reaction was expected.

"Presumably the two Prime Ministers stayed with us to discuss how to speak to His Majesty!" Just as Sima Cong was about to speak again, Han Yu spoke first.

After Han Yu finished speaking, Han Yu, Qin Ling and others looked at the two prime ministers.

"Exactly!" Looking at the crowd looking at him and Sima Cong, Feng Jie answered their doubts.

"The two Prime Ministers want to persecute Your Majesty?" Helian He immediately stood up and glared at Feng Jie and Sima Cong upon hearing this.

"Lieutenant Helian, if we want to force His Majesty, we will not allow you to stay and discuss how to speak to His Majesty! You can rest assured, Lieutenant! Truth and Sima Xiangguo are both for Daqin to continue to exist in the world, so that the country will not be destroyed. Do something that truly deceives the Lord!" Feng Jie said sincerely to He Lianhe, and at the same time expressed his wishes to everyone present.

"If it's true what Feng Xiangguo said about not deceiving the Lord, the princes of the Manchu Dynasty would not gather here in private today!" He Lianhe sneered when he heard Feng Jie's words.

Seeing that He Lianhe dared to laugh at Feng Jie, Sima Cong immediately pointed at He Lianhe and said angrily, "How could you have achieved such a high position as a lieutenant if you hadn't relied on your Majesty as a barbarian? How dare you question the veterans of the three dynasties? Yes, but the big knife is not blunt! Do you dare to compete with the old man in the school field?"

"Lieutenant Helian, the two Xiangguo, and all the gentlemen here are generally thinking of His Majesty, and I ask Sima Xiangguo and Feng Xiangguo not to get angry!" Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, Han Yu tried to persuade him as a good old man.He winked at Helian He again, trying to make him subdue.

He Lianhe also knew that he had said something wrong, so he immediately cupped his hands and said to Feng Jie and Sima Cong: "The last general is a rough man, if he said something wrong, please forgive me!"

"Hmph!" Sima Cong snorted coldly, then sat down again with a flick of his sleeves.

Feng Jie on the side said to He Lian He very generously: "Lieutenant He Lian is also right. I will plead guilty to His Majesty after His Majesty agrees to send troops to Tongguan! But the current plan needs to be negotiated. How to speak to His Majesty!"

"According to someone's opinion, why don't you write a letter to Your Majesty together with the officials of Xianyang! It shows that the government and the people want to fight the Chu people for life and death, and ask Your Majesty to issue an order to fight Chu!" Liang Xu gave Feng Jie a lot of face, Make a suggestion immediately.

Liang Xu's voice made the people who seemed a little embarrassed by He Lianhe's anger at Sima Cong start talking.

"Liang Zhonglang's strategy is good! Not only can His Majesty think seriously, but it can also alleviate the crimes of the two Prime Ministers who summoned the courtiers in private! I will second the proposal!" Lu Ru cupped his hands and praised his friend first, and then echoed Liang Xu's proposal remarks.

"No! If it is carried out according to Liang Zhonglang's law, wouldn't it mean that the ministers are deceiving the master? Wanwang and the two prime ministers think twice before acting!" Han Yudang, the supervisor of the Imperial College, even objected aloud.

"Then what is Han Jianzheng's idea? Why don't you just say a word and let this rough man hear your opinion!" Seeing Han Yu's refutation of Liang Xu's words, Lu Ru sarcastically sarcastically.

Han Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't know how to answer.

Seeing Han Yu like this, Feng Jie, who was at the top, came out and said: "Liang Zhonglang and Han Jianzheng's words are not unreasonable, but now is the life and death of the country. Even if there is a slight suspicion of deceiving the lord, the truth is true." I would like to bear this infamy in order not to subjugate the country! Moreover, it is not deceitful for the courtiers to ask His Majesty for a decisive battle with the Chu people!"

"It's my fault!" Han Yu knew that Feng Jie was trying to save him, so he had no choice but to show weakness.

After Han Yu showed weakness, Tan Ling, Han Yu, Qingxi and other civil and military personnel who stayed behind agreed with Liang Xu's approach.

"Liang Zhonglang and General Han Yun proposed to serve the country today, and I will write to His Majesty to promote Liang Zhonglang to Lord Lieutenant, and Han Yun will be the Central Guard." Seeing that everyone agreed, Feng Jie looked at Zhou Tong who was sitting next to him. Liang Xu and Lu Ru promised.
