Chapter 454: Heaven does not want to destroy the Qin Dynasty!!!
twilight.
The controversy during the court meeting has gradually subsided.
But the changes in the court have already been noticed by the court officials.
Li Mansion.
Li Si is sitting in the study.
He flipped through a volume of "The Book of Shang Jun", but his mind was obviously not on it.
Today's court meeting is indeed discussing the South China Sea, but the final direction of the court is completely different from usual.
He is not good at military affairs.
So I didn't say anything about it in the court.
But after the Tenth Young Master expressed his opinion, there was obviously a huge controversy in the court. According to the past practice, the First Emperor "discussed the matter with the ministers". However, from the beginning to the end, the First Emperor seemed to have no idea of starting the ceremony.
even......
Yao Jia was hesitant to speak later, probably because he wanted to suggest to His Majesty that he hold a court meeting, but His Majesty did not give him a chance to speak. Instead, he spoke directly and said that he wanted to seek Wang Ben's advice, so he dropped the topic.
The First Emperor had no intention of holding any more court discussions.
He had actually noticed it before, but he had never been sure, but today's court meeting confirmed Li Si's idea.
Your Majesty intends to abolish the parliamentary system!
He closed the "Book of Shang Jun", and there was a trace of solemnity in his eyes. Once the discussion system was abolished, all major affairs of the court would be completely decided by the superiors. There would no longer be any need to worry about the opinions of the courtiers. He did not dare to judge whether it was good or bad for the pros and cons.
.
From another perspective.
This may not be His Majesty's dissatisfaction with the courtiers.
Li Si stood up.
He said in a deep voice: "From now on, the imperial government must be very careful in its affairs. Your Majesty is already wary and dissatisfied with the officials. I am afraid that the power of the officials will continue to be tightened in the future. It's just the Tenth Young Master's voice this time.
Is there His Majesty’s will?”
"If not..."
"Then His Majesty is too indulgent towards the Tenth Young Master."
"But if there is, Your Majesty has given the Tenth Young Master too much authority."
"Could it be..."
"Your Majesty has appointed the tenth son as your heir apparent?"
Li Si raised his head, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Some signs in the court gradually made him a little unsure, and he also had some suspicions in his heart.
The aftermath of the DPRK goes far beyond that.
Yang Duanhe and others had Qin Luoheng's promise, so they would not have any objection to this, but Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo were extremely dissatisfied with the meeting.
Ren Xiao has been in the army for many years.
The last time he conquered Baiyue, he was the deputy general.
After Tu Sui's death, logically speaking, he was the most likely to ascend to the throne. He has always been considered the best candidate to conquer Baiyue. In fact, there was not much controversy about this matter until Zhao Gao was killed.
He had many contacts with Zhao Gao in the past.
It was just that he was not involved in the case that Zhao Gao was suspected of, so he survived in the end, but he was still affected to some extent. He originally wanted to seek a position as a general, so that he could wash away his guilt and clear his name.
But as Qin Luoheng opened his mouth, not only was he unable to become a general, he didn't even have the chance to lead troops.
How could he be willing to do so?
The same goes for Zhao Tuo.
He and Ren Xiao had gone through the last expedition to Baiyue and had some experience in the South China Sea. However, Zhao Tuo himself knew very well that his chances of competing for the leadership were not great, but as Ren Xiao was suspected, he undoubtedly had a chance.
, so during this period, Zhao Tuo traveled a lot with the Guanzhong clan and received many promises from the Guanzhong clan.
If nothing else goes wrong, he and Ren Xiao will be the main generals to conquer Baiyue this time. He thinks he has a certain chance of winning. Now the South China Sea is already a piece of meat on the chopping block. If he leads the army, he will definitely be able to make the South China Sea a success.
It depends on the battle.
Use this to fight.
He might be able to go further in the future.
Ranked among the three nobles and nine ministers.
However, with Qin Luoheng's suggestion, all his plans came to an end.
How could Zhao Tuo calm down?
Although the outcome of this court meeting is not yet clear, it has begun to emerge.
Right now, some are happy and some are sad.
...
the other side.
After handling the political affairs, Ying Zheng did not return to the palace, but asked the CRRC to prepare the carriages and horses for a trip to the palace.
A quarter of an hour later.
Ying Zheng went to the palace.
Wang Li, Wang Ping and others are waiting outside.
Ying Zheng slightly raised his forehead.
Asked: "How is Marquis Tongwu's health?"
Wang Lidao:
"Return to Your Majesty."
"Aweng's health has improved, but he is still a little weak, so he cannot welcome us from afar. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Ying Zhengdan said:
"Marquis Tongwu is ill, how can I blame him?"
Wang Li quickly thanked him, and then respectfully welcomed Ying Zheng into the palace, and then walked to the lobby among the crowd. At this moment, Wang Ben was lying on a recliner.
Enter the lobby.
Looking at Wang Ben, who was almost emaciated, a sad look appeared in Ying Zheng's eyes.
Sighing softly:
"Wang Ben, you have suffered."
Wang Ben half straightened his body.
Weeping:
"Your Majesty, your Majesty the King Ben, is here to see you."
"The king is disloyal and cannot be seen by His Majesty."
Ying Zheng stepped forward, helped Wang Ben to the recliner, and said: "You have been with me for many years. You don't need these false gifts. Just take care of yourself."
Wang Ben nodded and said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will do my best."
Later.
Ying Zheng glanced at Wang Li and Wang Ping who were standing in the room, waved his hands and said, "You guys should step aside first. I want to talk to Marquis Tongwu."
Wang Li and Wang Ping quickly promised.
Then he backed out.
Ying Zheng looked at the couch where Wang Ben was lying.
smiled and said:
"Is this from Ying Sinian?"
"He also gave it to me at the beginning. It felt more comfortable than sitting down."
Wang Ben said:
"Return to Your Majesty."
"This thing is indeed a gift from the tenth prince."
"I am also grateful to His Majesty for the medicine. If it had not been for Your Majesty's gift of medicine, I would not have been able to withstand this winter in my current condition. I am grateful."
Wang Ben's words were very respectful.
He knows very well.
The Ginseng Yangrong Pills sent by the Tenth Young Master last time seemed to be taken by the Tenth Young Master, but in fact it was His Majesty's will. If His Majesty had not spoken, how could the Tenth Young Master get this precious pill? Even though the pills were presented by the Tenth Young Master.
, still not working.
He has followed Ying Zheng for many years, how could he not understand this truth?
Ying Zheng laughed.
Didn't pay too much attention to this.
Then a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes.
Ying Zheng said: "I still remember that when I first came to the throne, the powerful ministers in the court were in power. I was isolated and helpless in the palace. I had no close confidants and no one to rely on. I even had to look at the faces of Lu Buwei and others. But now that I am in such embarrassment,
At that time, it was you, Wang Ben, who took the initiative to show allegiance and allowed me to gradually gain a firm foothold."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "However."
"Sometimes I don't like you very much."
"Every time you lead an army, as long as you are in charge, you refuse all arbitrary orders, and you will definitely accept the orders of the foreign emperor. And every time you swear to me, 'If it doesn't happen, I am willing to take full responsibility.' If I hadn't done it for
To avoid turmoil in the army, I will definitely not use you."
"But you do mean what you say."
"Since leading the army, 50,000 troops and horses destroyed Wei in a water battle. 20,000 flying cavalry attacked ten cities of Chu in ten days. 50,000 flying cavalry attacked for thousands of miles. Finally, Yan was destroyed and the Dai Dynasty was destroyed. An army of 200,000 threatened Qi without fighting.
Then he surrendered, with an army of one hundred thousand and a people of one hundred thousand, and in three years he conquered the whole world."
"This is all your contribution, Wang Ben."
"Such a remarkable achievement, probably no one in China can match it for thousands of years."
Wang Ben smiled bitterly.
He opened his mouth and said: "I did have some impulsive things back then, and thanks to your majesty's trust, I would never have been able to do this otherwise."
For a while.
Both the monarch and his minister recalled the past.
Ying Zheng never concealed his admiration for Wang Ben.
Among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, his favorite minister must be Wang Ben.
Not only did Wang Ben have the same intentions as him, but more importantly, compared to other courtiers, Wang Ben seemed more real. Other courtiers would be more or less flattering, but Wang Ben was different. He never said a word of mediation or disapproval.
Even if you don’t agree, you will give your full support if you agree.
Wang Ben was also filled with emotion.
Since ancient times, many kings have obtained the power of their ministers not because their ministers truly admired the king's consular and decisive talents, but because of the unchangeable power structure of the king and his ministers. However, His Majesty has never concealed his joy, anger, sorrow, and joy from himself. This kind of trust has probably been lost throughout the ages.
Very few.
If he doesn't have His Majesty's full trust, it may be difficult for him to accomplish anything.
With such trust, what more can I ask for?
outside the house.
It started to rain lightly.
The thoughts of the monarch and his minister gradually drifted away.
After a life-and-death separation, Ying Zheng saw Wang Ben's weakness, but he couldn't help but feel the same. All kinds of backlogged thoughts were flowing through him at this moment, without any pretense.
Some words.
If not faced with Wang Ben, Ying Zheng would never say it, and many ministers would not say it, but only Wang Ben dared to say it. Even if he was refuted by Wang Ben, Ying Zheng would not feel the slightest sense of disobedience.
On the contrary, it will feel painful.
I don’t know when.
Ying Zheng sat in front of Wang Ben.
The monarch and his ministers were sitting and lying in such close proximity.
Ying Zhengdao:
"When I was infected with malaria, I saw a scene in the future as if in a dream."
"I was like Duke Huan of Qi, Jiang Xiaobai, who could not leave the palace when he was about to die. There was a huge turmoil in the court, and the Qin government seemed to be about to die. I was very angry at that time. If God is really like this, why should God
How many talented people came together to create such a great achievement? And then it was extinguished in the blink of an eye?"
"This is so unreasonable!"
"At a time when the Qin Dynasty was in turmoil, you and your son, Wang Jian, appeared one after another. Wang Jian relied on the edict I left behind to support the crisis. He tried his best to deal with it without compromising with anyone, and even went so far as to fight directly. In the end, it was difficult to
Stabilizing the overall situation of the world."
"And you, Wang Ben, are even worse."
"He decisively led his troops to pacify Xianyang, and even openly disobeyed orders. He used thunderous strikes to arrest the rebellious ministers and traitors who wanted to seize chestnuts from the fire, and supported the second emperor on the throne. His firmness and neatness were exactly the same as when he suppressed the Laodu rebellion."
“Since ancient times, the country’s good generals have been the basis for its safety!”
"If you, Wang Ben, were still alive, why should I worry about what happened after my death?"
"But just when I thought the world was at peace, I suddenly woke up. Wang Jian had already died of illness, and you had been in a coma for a long time. How could you survive the crisis? Stabilize the situation in Da Qin? But without you and your son Wang, who can lead the chaos in Da Qin?
Will Xiangshi protect the country for me?"
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. Yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.]
"I can't find it!"
"Meng Tian can't do it, Feng Jie can't do it, and Li Xin can't do it even more."
"So I don't dare to die!"
"Fortunately, God seemed unwilling to see the death of Da Qin I, and finally let me wake up. Now that I see you getting better, I am really happy."
