Chapter 218 Zhang Ji’s heart-killing words and clan-killing words

Zhang Ji's sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the hall and surrounded the ears of the ministers.

However, as soon as Zhang Ji finished speaking, someone stood up and came out to refute.

"It's ridiculous. We in Great Qin have a prime minister who is working hard, so why can't we gather the strength of Great Qin to be at the forefront?"

The one who spoke was a minister promoted by Lu Buwei. His face turned red and he pointed at Zhang Ji and shouted angrily: "You are openly questioning the Prime Minister's ability, and you also intend to provoke discord between the King and the Prime Minister! What are your intentions!"

"oh?"

Zhang Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the courtier who jumped out, and looked at Lu Buwei.

But Lu Buwei lowered his head and did not raise his head to look at Zhang Ji, as if he was indifferent to what was happening at the moment.

Seeing Lu Buwei's attitude, Zhang Ji also understood what Lu Buwei meant.

In fact, during this period of time, Ying Zheng also told Zhang Ji his true relationship with Lu Buwei in detail.

Zhang Ji doesn't know how Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng became enemies in history, but Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng in this world have indeed maintained a relationship of being both father and teacher.

Today, when Ying Zheng occupies the right time, place and people, Lu Buwei should never resist and stop Ying Zheng from taking charge of the government at this time. Combined with Lu Buwei's attitude, it is obvious that this minister's behavior was not Lu Buwei's instruction, but his own initiative.

.

In fact, this situation is not difficult to understand. When a person's power reaches a certain level, and he has accumulated a group of subordinates around him who are willing to support him and bind his own interests to his own.

, the direction of progress is often not decided by oneself.

Even though Lu Buwei had never had any rebellious intentions and never thought of antagonizing Ying Zheng at this time, the ministers of the Xiangbang Mansion were not willing to buy it.

Because they can't guarantee that after Ying Zheng takes charge, they will still get the same benefits as when he was under Lu Buwei's command. What's more, they don't know the close relationship between Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei, and they don't see through that this is just a man who is both father and teacher.

The test of the elders on the younger ones.

However, Lu Buwei did not want to take the initiative to stop the subordinate.

He didn't know whether today's drama was caused by Ying Zheng or planned by Zhang Ji.

But as a king, Ying Zheng's test has ended.

If he can make good use of his ministers to plan today's pro-government drama, then Ying Zheng can be regarded as a king who is not inferior to the previous kings.

Therefore, Lu Buwei's test fell on Zhang Ji.

All the kings of Qin in the past, except for King Qin Xiaowen who only reigned for three days, had a like-minded and capable minister beside him who could stir up the world.

Duke Xiao has Shang Yang, King Huiwen has Zhang Yi, King Zhaoxiang has Fan Ju, and Lu Buwei is King Zhuangxiang's capable minister, and the one beside Ying Zheng... At present, it seems that the minister who is close to Ying Zheng is this machine, but

I wonder if he can bear the title of "capable minister".

"The decree comes from the king, but if the prime minister is there to correct it, could something go wrong?"

"It is precisely because of trust in the Prime Minister..." Zhang Ji bowed to Lu Buwei, then turned to look at the minister, his voice suddenly raised, "We should trust the king even more."

"Xiangbang is the king's teacher. Could it be that Xiangbang's talents can only teach a foolish king, and Xiangbang neglected his duties when teaching the king?"

The minister was speechless by Zhang Ji's words, or he did not dare to respond to Zhang Ji's words.

Zhang Ji's words are so heartbreaking.

If you continue not to support Ying Zheng's pro-government, you are not only insulting Ying Zheng as a coward, but also accusing Lu Buwei of dereliction of duty and incompetence.

Do you want him, a subordinate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, to support Ying Zheng who is seizing the power of the Prime Minister?

Just when the minister was sweating profusely with anxiety, the middle doctor ordered Qi to stand up and take the baton from the minister's hand.

"The current king is only twenty years old. According to the etiquette of the Central Plains, he can be crowned."

"However, the late King Huiwen did not receive the coronation ceremony until he was twenty-two years old three years after he succeeded to the throne; the late King Zhaoxiang also performed the coronation ceremony at the age of twenty-two three years after he succeeded to the throne."

"When young kings of the Qin State ascend the throne, they all perform crowning ceremonies at the age of twenty-two and pledge themselves to govern the country. This is the ancient system of our Qin Dynasty. How can it be easily passed down from generation to generation by the previous kings?"

The middle doctor Ling Qi's words were a bit sudden, and the minister of the Prime Minister's Mansion who was speechless by Zhang Ji didn't even react, and was still curious about which colleague came to help him out.

But after noticing that it was Ling Qi, the middle doctor under Lao Ai's command, everyone's expressions became a little strange.

As we all know, Lao Ai was the candidate promoted by the Queen Mother Zhao Ji to check and balance Lu Buwei. Even the ministers of the Queen Mother's line represented Zhao Ji's wishes in every move.

Could it be that Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei formed an alliance against Ying Zheng?

Could it be that Zhao Ji, who has always disliked attending court meetings, came to Xianyang Palace specifically today to stop Ying Zheng from taking over the throne?

On the other hand, everyone was puzzled by Ling Qi's defense.

How could anyone mention the ancient system in Qin?

Lao Ai's face turned stern, and she clenched her fist with her left hand and hit her thigh with a hammer, wishing she could pull Ling Qi down and give him a slap to shut him up.

Bringing up the "ancient system" in the Qin State is like talking about peace in front of the Qin State's extremely brave soldiers.

Of course, Zhang Ji was also a little confused, but after realizing what Ling Qi said, he immediately seized the opportunity.

"In the past, Lord Shang implemented reforms and said..."

"If there were different religions in the previous life, how could there be ancient laws? If the emperors did not follow each other, how could they follow the rituals?... If there is no one way to govern the world, the country will not follow the ancient laws. Tang, the king of Wu, did not follow the ancients and prospered; the Yin and Xia Dynasties were destroyed because they could not follow the rituals.

Perish. However, those who oppose the ancients are not necessarily wrong, and those who follow the rites are not necessarily right."

"Therefore, we should 'make legislation according to the time and make rituals according to the situation'."

Zhang Ji walked up to Ling Qi. Zhang Ji did not have such a good temper towards Lao Ai's confidant.

"You talk about the ancient system without thinking about changes. Could it be that you don't agree with the Qin laws left by Lord Shang? You also object to the king's crown ceremony and pro-country administration on the grounds of following the rites of the previous kings. You think the past is not the present. What are your intentions?

"

"hiss!"

A gasp of cold air echoed among the ministers.

It's not that anyone is exaggerating, but Zhang Ji is simply too vicious.

Compared with the heart-breaking words he just said to the ministers of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhang Ji's words now are truly heart-breaking words, no... or clan-killing words.

According to the laws of Qin, anyone who arbitrarily discusses the laws of Qin will be punished by death.

Those who regard the past as different from the present will be punished by their clan.

This is truly heart-wrenching words.

The minister of Xiangbang Mansion felt chills all over his body. Looking at the young man who was killing everyone in Xianyang Palace with a calm expression, he suddenly felt like he was surviving a disaster.

"You are sophistry!"

"sophistry!"

The doctor ordered Qi to go away from his usual calm demeanor and pointed at Zhang Ji who firmly refused to admit the crime he was accused of.

The red color spread on Ling Qi's face. At this moment, he was indeed a little out of character. It would not be an exaggeration to think that the imperial censor would be discourteous in front of him.

But after all, several censors did not add insult to injury on the spot. After all, no one expected that Zhang Ji would not only refute Ling Qi's words with Shang Jun's remarks in the past, but also accuse Ling Qi of "unreasonable opinions on Qin law" and "extrapolation of the past to the present".

"These two fatal hats.

No one can afford the whole family to have fun.
