Zhang Han and Zhao Gao naturally saw the four lists in front of Ying Zheng, but they also knew very well that they must not interrupt at this time.
Otherwise, no matter who gets in and who doesn't, they will have offended a few other people, and those who get in will probably not remember how good they are.
"Let's meet Li Si and Feng Quji first and see what they say!" Ying Zheng couldn't figure it out, but decided to meet Li Si and Feng Quji in Xianyang first.
So Zhang Han and Zhao Gao went to personally invite Li Si and Feng Quji respectively.
"Your Majesty has summoned you!" Zhao Gao informed Feng Quji.
In Feng Mansion, Feng Quji was also a little surprised. He didn't know what happened, but he suddenly summoned him.
"Master Zhao, Your Majesty only summoned Feng?" Feng Quji calmly asked his family to give Zhao Gao a big gift.
"There is also Mr. Tingwei Li Si!" Zhao Gao did not hide this, after all, we will see him later.
"Your Majesty summoned me suddenly, but what's the matter?" Feng Quji continued to ask in a low voice.
If you meet and you don't know what the matter is, and you are suddenly asked about it, you won't be able to answer it, which will be very embarrassing.
"It has something to do with the phase!" Zhao Gao did not explicitly say that Wei Zhuang and Wang Wan resigned from their posts and went into seclusion.
After all, this matter hasn't been made public yet. If he let it slip, he would be in big trouble.
However, after being reminded like this, Feng Quji naturally guessed something.
But what he was thinking about was that Ying Zheng was selecting the next two prime ministers in advance, instead of appointing and removing the new two prime ministers now.
"Master Zhao, wait a moment!" Feng Quji turned back to his room, changed into his official uniform, and followed Zhao Gao to the palace.
Zhang Han on the other side looked at Li Si in confusion.
He came to summon Li Si and asked him to come to the palace to see him.
He thought Li Si would ask him why Ying Zheng suddenly summoned him, and he had already thought of how to evade it, but Li Si didn't ask anything.
"General Zhang Han, wait a moment!" After Zhang Han finished speaking, Li Si took out a white jade turtle shell from his sleeve.
"Swish, swish, swish~" Li Si covered the white jade turtle shell with both hands, shaking it up and down, muttering something inexplicable in his mouth.
Then he held the turtle shell tightly with both hands and arranged the copper coins in it on the table in front of him.
"???" Zhang Han was even more confused. He had never heard that Tingwei Li Si could do divination, but he still turned his head and glanced at the divination on the case. Although he couldn't understand it, he was still curious.
"Huh? Is there a big opportunity or a turning point?" Li Si looked at the six copper coins on the table in surprise, which turned out to be a sign of good luck.
Moreover, the hexagram shows that this will be an important opportunity and turning point in one's life.
"Let's go!" Li Si put on his official uniform and took Zhang Han towards the palace.
"Isn't Tingwei curious why your Majesty summoned you?" Zhang Han asked proactively.
Li Si stopped, frowned, looked at Zhang Han and reminded, "As an internal minister, it's best not to have too much contact with us foreign ministers. It's both good for you and me!"
Zhang Han was stunned for a moment, then he held his sword and saluted, "I've been taught a lesson!".
As Ying Zheng's personal bodyguard and the leader of the Shadow Guard, he is indeed not suitable to get too close to the courtiers, otherwise it will be of no benefit to anyone.
When Li Si and Feng Quji entered the Qinian Palace, they saw that two sets of uniforms and seals had been set up in the palace. For a moment, Li Si and Feng Quji looked at each other, and they both knew what was going on with Ying Zheng's summons.
.
Feng Quji was a little happy that the position was finally vacated, but as a censor and a veteran official, he naturally kept his joy and anger to himself and pretended to be indifferent to salute Ying Zheng.
Li Si was also a little surprised when he saw the two seals, but he quickly calmed down and saluted with Feng Quji.
Ying Zheng has also been observing the two of them, but didn't see anything.
"Prime Minister Wei and Prime Minister Wang have already taken their seals and retired to seclusion. Now the two prime ministers in Daqin are empty. Who do Feng Qing and Li Qing think should take this position?" Ying Zheng said calmly, but his eyes were fixed on the two of them.
On the body.
Li Si and Feng Quji were both shocked, knowing that their answers might affect the attribution of this aspect.
Li Si was very calm. He had no aristocratic family behind him, and he had risen from a humble beginning. The position of the unparalleled Right Chancellor certainly had nothing to do with him, but he could still compete for the position of Left Chancellor.
However, Li Si also knew very well that his advantages were not great. In addition to being His Majesty's earliest follower and having unanimous opinions on the national policy after unification, he was not as good as others in terms of merit and status.
Not to mention Feng Quji in front of him, Zhi Su Nei Shi Xiaoxu, who was presiding over the gold rush in Rouge Valley, and Shang Qing Guo Kai, who was wandering around Qi State, were all strong competitors.
Thinking of this, Li Si was stunned again, and suddenly realized that neither he nor Xiao Xu should be the most favorable candidates for the right prime minister, because the right prime minister is usually held by the old nobles of the Qin State.
Xiaoxu is a descendant of the Ziche family. This identity made his early career easy, but if he wanted to compete for the position of right prime minister, this identity became a constraint.
Therefore, the only ones who can compete for right prime minister are Feng Quji and Guo Kai!
Originally, Guo Kai did not have this qualification. After all, Guo Kai was also an outsider.
But Guo Kai couldn't resist giving too much. Almost all the nobles in the entire Qin State got along well with Guo Kai, and they still owed Guo Kai favors in the land reform.
Therefore, if Guo Kai becomes the prime minister, those nobles will definitely support him, and the number of supporters will even far exceed that of Feng Quji, an old Qin noble.
What's more, Guo Kai also has an advantage that none of the Nine Qings have, and that is his reputation among the people. Because of the land reform, Guo Kai's reputation among the people is second only to Ying Zheng. In some places, shrines are even established in Guo Kai's honor and worshiped at home.
The longevity tablet has been erected.
And the most important thing is that Feng Quji and Guo Kai cannot deal with each other. As a censor, there are too many memorials to impeach Guo Kai for corruption, which makes Guo Kai and Feng Quji like fire and water.
"The position of Right Chancellor is a position of great importance, and no one from ancient times would dare to covet it!" Li Si said directly what he meant. I won't fight for Right Chancellor, but I still want to look forward to and fight for Left Chancellor.
Ying Zheng and Feng Quji also understood the subtext of Li Si's words.
Feng Quji breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Li Si with a much softer look in his eyes. He was voluntarily withdrawing from the competition for right prime minister and giving himself a chance.
"Your Majesty has great respect for you. The dynasty is about to begin. You can't stay idle for too long. I hope your majesty will choose a suitable person as soon as possible!" Feng Quji did not explicitly say that he wanted to be the right minister. He only told Ying Zheng that the dynasty was about to begin at the end of the year.
Ying Zheng and Li Si also understood. This was to bully Guo Kai and Shuo Xu, who were both not in Xianyang. They wanted Ying Zheng to be selected first. Even if the two came back and their positions were determined, there would be nothing they could do about it.
.
Ying Zheng looked at Feng Quji and suddenly thought, yes, preparations for the imperial dynasty begin at the end of the year, and the most important issue this time is the annexation of Qi.
Then the most suitable candidate for the right-hand position will be revealed, right?
