Ying Teng stood below, bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, Ying Teng."
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice:
"I asked you to come over, there is nothing else."
"I just want you to select a few hidden officials in the hidden palace and send them to Qin Luoheng to help him tidy up his fields."
Ying Teng frowned.
said:
"Your Majesty, who is this Qin Luoheng?"
"Isn't it inappropriate to use people from the hidden palace as rewards?"
"The Hidden Palace is the place where the private slaves of the royal family are placed. Since your Majesty came to the throne, except for a few important ministers and the heroes who defeated the Six Kingdoms, Your Majesty has never rewarded the private slaves of the Hidden Palace. This time, he directly rewarded the hidden officials."
"If your Majesty doesn't give me an explanation."
"It's hard to obey orders when I forgive you!"
Seeing Ying Teng being so stubborn, Ying Zheng also had a headache.
As the Zongzheng of the Great Qin Dynasty, Ying Teng has an extraordinary status. If he were really based on seniority, Ying Teng is actually one level higher than himself.
but.
What Ying Teng said is correct.
The rewards given to private slaves in the hidden palace were illegal gifts in the Qin Dynasty.
No reward can be given to ministers other than those who have meritorious service.
This is a rule set by the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty in the past dynasties.
If you reward private slaves indiscriminately, you will break the rules and the reward will lose its meaning.
What was undoubtedly lost was the majesty of the royal family.
As the Zongzheng of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Teng is naturally responsible for the royal family.
There is nothing wrong with what he said.
Ying Zhengdao:
"I know Zongzheng's thoughts."
"Have I ever broken a rule and not understood the importance of it?"
"But since Zongzheng insists on asking clearly, then I will tell you."
"Qin Luoheng..."
"He is my young master!"
Hear the words.
Ying Teng stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
His face was horrified, his eyes were full of panic, and he even doubted his ears, thinking that he had heard wrongly.
Your Majesty actually has a son outside?
How can this be?
Hasn’t His Majesty been obsessed with political affairs since he came to the throne?
Even when he goes out, he usually clears the way with a large army and never takes any concubines from the palace with him. Could it be that they are accompanying maids? But with His Majesty's character, it is impossible for him to remain silent.
But what is going on?
Ying Teng felt a little confused.
This matter was completely beyond his cognition.
Seeing the complicated expression on Ying Teng's face, Ying Zheng didn't know what Ying Teng was thinking. He was angry and annoyed in his heart and said speechlessly:
"Zongzheng, please stop thinking wildly."
"You have seen this boy before."
"You were the one who took over the clan title in person back then!"
A flash of doubt flashed in Ying Teng's eyes.
Puzzled:
"I didn't understand."
"When did I give him the clan registration?"
"There seems to be no one named Qin among the clan members."
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice:
"Because his surname is not Qin."
"His last name is Ying!"
"He is my tenth son."
"Call Ying Sinian!"
"Does Zongzheng remember now?"
"Ying...ten...didn't your Majesty..." Ying Teng's eyes suddenly opened wide with disbelief. He was completely shocked by the news.
Ying Zheng naturally knew what Ying Teng wanted to ask.
said:
"He's not dead."
"Never died."
"It's just that in order not to shake up the government, I deliberately told the court that he was dead. Now Zongzheng knows why I rewarded the hidden official, right?"
Ying Teng nodded.
"I understand."
"I will go down immediately to make arrangements."
"Your Majesty, since the Tenth Young Master is not dead, should the Tenth Young Master's name be added back to the clan? Do I need to inform the other Young Masters about this?"
"No need." Ying Zheng said expressionlessly: "Don't expose his affairs to the public for the time being. I have my own arrangements for him, so you don't need to worry about it."
"No." Ying Teng's eyelids twitched.
"Go down." Ying Zheng waved his hand.
"I excuse myself."
Ying Teng slowly retreated.
Walk outside the temple.
Ying Teng's mood was still hard to calm down.
The Tenth Young Master is still alive?
This news really made him unable to calm down.
As the Zongzheng of the Ying family, he naturally knew what happened that year. Originally everything had been settled, but with the return of the Tenth Young Master, everything changed again.
He did not dare to guess what His Majesty was thinking.
I don't want to get involved either.
Since His Majesty did not want to make the news about the Tenth Young Master public, he naturally did not dare to say anything. Then, he thought of the recent abnormalities in Huafu, and his eyes were thoughtful.
He looked back.
I took a look at the majestic Xianyang Palace.
He also quickly left the political center of Da Qin.
...
Inside the palace.
Xia Wuji walked in step by step.
"I see your Majesty."
Ying Zheng didn't say much nonsense and said directly: "I recently got a prescription. Find these medicinal materials for me and try to use older medicinal materials."
"I'll give you half a year."
"In half a year, I will see the medicine, and I will also know the efficacy of this medicine."
Finished.
There was a eunuch who came to Xia Wuji with a few pieces of bamboo in his hands.
Xia Wuji hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to take these bamboo pieces into his hand. Looking at the prescription on it, a strange color appeared in his eyes.
a long time.
Then he said in a deep voice: "I obey the order."
Xia Wuqe actually wanted to ask where the prescription came from, but Ying Zheng obviously had no intention of telling him. Seeing this, Xia Wuqe also wisely took the prescription and left.
Inside the palace.
Only Ying Zheng is left.
After explaining the matters in hand, he did not delay at all and went directly to his desk to handle daily government affairs.
Had a day off.
His memorials on major cases have piled up.
He picked up a memorial at random.
Open.
This is the memorial submitted by Guo Dan of Tingwei Mansion.
When he saw the name Guo Dan, Ying Zheng's face darkened slightly.
Guo Dan is indeed unknown, but his father is famous. It is Guo Kai, the great hero who made great achievements in unifying the Qin Dynasty.
At that time, Guo Kai single-handedly defeated the two famous generals of the Zhao State and made an immortal contribution to the Qin Dynasty's overthrow of the Zhao State.
After the fall of Zhao, he appointed Guo Kaifeng as Shang Qing.
However, after all, Guo Kai's "heroic" deeds were here, and even he did not dare to reuse him rashly. Therefore, the title of Shangqing that Guo Kai was awarded was only an honorary official position without any real power.
And with Guo Kai's contribution, in Da Qin, at least he had no worries about food and clothing.
But Guo Kai was very greedy.
After Guo Kai settled in Xianyang, he was reluctant to part with his treasures in Handan, so he wanted to transfer his property there to Xianyang. After many petitions, he agreed to Guo Kai's request and allowed him to return to Handan to retrieve his property.
As the saying goes, a common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade.
Guo Kai's treasures in the Zhao State were extremely rich, and he also harmed two famous generals of the Zhao State. He was already disgusted by the Zhao people, but his departure gave the Zhao people who hated him so much an opportunity.
On his way home, he disguised himself as a thief and attacked and killed him.
Guo Kai was defeated and died!
After Guo Kai's death, he paid a little tribute to his memory and promoted Guo Kai's son, Guo Dan. This Guo Dan was no ordinary person. Although his father was full of misdeeds, he was not affected at all. He was good at dancing in the court and was exquisite in all aspects.
, almost no one hates it.
I have to say that his ‘ability’ is really outstanding!
Looking at the memorial submitted by Guo Dan, after just a few glances, Ying Zheng felt a surge of anger in his heart.
No surprise.
Guo Dan's memorial also recommended the implementation of "making the head of Guizhou self-contained".
He threw Guo Dan's memorial aside and looked at the memorials submitted by other courtiers. He read six or seven of them in succession. Without exception, they were all related to land. They either talked about the dangers of local land annexation, or were directly expressing their feelings.
The benefits of Guizhou's coming from Shitian.
I read a few more copies.
Ying Zheng could no longer hold back the anger in his heart.
Cursed:
"You are truly a good minister of mine."
"Everyone wants to keep me in the dark."
"Do you really think I don't know your thoughts?"
"Those who disrupt our Great Qin----"
"die!!!"
Ying Zheng pushed all the memorials on the major case to the ground. He didn't want to take another look at them. Every time he took another look, the anger in his heart would grow.
Ying Zheng sat at the table.
Her chest rose and fell rapidly.
He tried hard to control his emotions and try not to lose control of his emotions.
a long time.
Only then did Ying Zheng calm down.
At this time.
There was a eunuch outside the palace delivering a message.
Hu Hai asked to see him.
Ying Zheng frowned and was right.
Enter the palace.
Hu Hai saluted respectfully and said, "My son, I pay homage to my father."
Ying Zheng's expression softened slightly.
said:
"Hu Hai, you came to see me, what do you mean?"
Hu Hai said with a sad look on his face:
"Go back to Father."
"My son was horrified when he heard that his father was in poor health, so he asked the imperial chef to cook a bowl of mutton bone soup for his father. Many nourishing herbs were added to it, which are all medicines for strengthening the body."
"My son knows that he is stupid and cannot help his father solve his problems."
"I just hope that my father will be in good health."
"This sheep bone soup is a great tonic. Together with the tonics selected by my son for my father, it will definitely make up for my father's deficient air and blood, making my father's body get better quickly and become as strong as a dragon and a tiger."
"Father..."
Talking and talking.
Hu Hai also shed tears on his cheeks.
Sobbing endlessly.
See the situation.
Ying Zheng felt warm in his heart.
Nodding and saying:
"You are serious."
"If Fusu could be as worry-free as you, I wouldn't have to worry so much."
Hu Hai wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Choking and saying:
"Father, you really blamed your brother wrongly."
"My brother is resolute, brave, trustworthy and a warrior. He has always been a role model for us younger brothers. Moreover, my brother is kind-hearted and kind-hearted, and is praised by everyone in the court."
"How can Hu Hai be compared with his elder brother?"
Hear the words.
A cold look flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.
Indifferently said:
"Everyone in the court praised him?"
"It's strange that no one praises him for the things he has done."
"Don't talk about this."
"Come here, bring me this bone soup."
After listening to Ying Zheng's words, Hu Hai's eyes were filled with joy, but his face did not show any joy. He still lowered his head in a respectful gesture.
After the bone-nourishing soup was presented, Hu Hai bowed and said:
"My son knows that his talents are limited, but when he saw that his father was ill, he still continued to deal with government affairs. He really couldn't bear it, so he also wanted to solve his father's problems. After thinking hard these days, I have some understanding of some political affairs.
I hope my father will adopt my understanding and opinions."
"Oh?" Ying Zheng's eyes showed a hint of surprise, "Do you have your own political opinions?"
"good."
"Bring it up and show it to me."
The eunuchs on the side looked at each other, followed suit and walked to Hu Hai, took the bamboo slips from Hu Hai's hand, and carefully handed them to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng reached out and took it.
Open.
"On the harm of land annexation and the benefits of self-consolidation of land in Guizhou!"
