Chapter 65 Does Prince and General Xiang Ning have the guts?
Ying Zheng's face darkened.
There are really some people who are not afraid of death!
Looking along the sound, I found that it was exactly what the right Prime Minister Feng Quji said just now.
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
Before Yingzheng could get angry, Shusun Tong and several other ministers also stepped forward to comply.
Among them are those from Confucianism and others from other schools.
One thing these people have in common is that they come from the powerful and wealthy classes.
They opposed so fiercely, on the one hand, to protect the saints and Confucianism, and on the other hand, to protect the interests of the nobility and wealthy classes.
They vaguely guessed that His Majesty's intention in setting up a temple to rehabilitate King Zhou was probably to change the official selection system.
This touches upon the core interests of the aristocracy and wealthy class!
Ying Zheng's face became increasingly gloomy.
How could he not know that these idiots were fiercely opposed to him, not just to "protect their food" and to keep the official selection system firmly in the hands of the aristocracy and wealthy class?
What you said is correct. There is indeed huge resistance to the implementation of the imperial examination system!
The imperial examination system is imperative. Otherwise, due to the solidification of classes, the Qin officialdom will not be supplemented by fresh blood from other classes. If things go on like this, it will become a pool of stagnant water, become rotten, and smell bad.
In this way, Da Qin is not far from destruction.
Da Qin belongs to me and I cannot tolerate your impudence!
Ying Zheng stood up like a mountain rising from the ground, and said majestically and domineeringly: "Anyone who is coming, pull out your right minister Feng Quji and leave with eighty sticks, and others with fifty sticks!"
Don't these guys jump high?
Then I will beat them down one by one!
Yingzheng conquered the six kingdoms and unified the world by relying on iron and blood methods. How could these civil servants be able to coerce him!
Moreover, at this time, the aristocratic families had not really risen. The aristocratic families did not have the strong influence of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin Dynasties, so they could not make big waves.
A group of black-armored guards immediately rushed in and dragged Feng Quji, Shusun Tong and other officials out.
"Your Majesty, you are ignorant and ignorant. How can the historical records of the Western Zhou Dynasty be wrong? How can the judgment of Sage Kong be wrong?" Shusun Tong yelled.
"Crown Prince, your Majesty has built a temple for a fatuous tyrant, and will be criticized by thousands of people and criticized by history books. Please advise your Majesty!" Right Prime Minister Feng Qu said quickly.
"Crown Prince..."
If it were the former Fusu, he would definitely stand up on a united front with the officials and fiercely oppose Yingzheng, even at the risk of his life!
But now Fusu has broken free from the shackles of Confucianism and looks at problems from a new height.
He knew that Mr. Tiandaolou was right, Emperor Xin was a wise king!
Fusu also knew that if Da Qin wanted to govern well and develop vigorously, the official selection system indeed needed to be radically reformed to break class solidification.
Fusu walked out of the courtroom, looked at the ministers and said: "What your Majesty said is correct! Emperor Zhou, Emperor Xin, is the wise king of the ages and the emperor of ancient times!"
"Prince, you..."
When Feng Quji, Shu Suntong and other officials heard this, they were so angry that they wanted to spit out blood.
They usually use Confucianism to teach Fusu and train him carefully. They want to train Fusu to be a spokesman for Confucianism. When he succeeds to the throne, they can dethrone hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism!
At that time, Confucianism will be extremely glorious!
But Feng Quji, Shu Suntong and other Confucian people never thought that Fusu would betray Confucianism, making all their previous efforts in vain!
Ying Zheng waved his big hand impatiently and said: "Drag him out!"
"Your Majesty, you will regret it!" Feng Quji shouted.
"Your Majesty, what is the difference between what you are doing and the mediocre tyrant King Zhou!" Shusun Tong cursed.
Ying Zheng frowned and shouted:
"Feng Quji and Shusun Tong each gave him a hundred blows with their sticks. After they were beaten, they were thrown into prison!"
Some officials who originally wanted to yell and scold them all stopped when they saw this!
If Ying Zheng is angered again, he will probably go on a killing spree!
Soon, screams like pigs being slaughtered could be heard one after another outside the Qilin Hall.
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "Come here, close the palace door!"
Then, Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Li Si listens to the order!"
"The guilty minister is here!" Li Si raised his hand.
Ying Zhengdao: "From today on, you will resume your position as Prime Minister Zuo, and you will be responsible for building King Zhou temples in various counties and counties in Daqin, and promoting King Zhou's meritocracy and many other merits!"
"No!" Li Si trembled with excitement and said with a heavy fist.
Your Majesty has finally resumed his position as Prime Minister of the Left!
From now on, I will definitely serve His Majesty to the death and be loyal to Da Qin!
Ying Zhengdao: "Come here, order Tongwuhou Wang Ben to lead one hundred thousand elite troops immediately to return to Xianyang!"
Ying Zheng's arrangement was to safeguard the reform of the official selection system.
He implemented the imperial examination system and touched the big cakes of the powerful and wealthy class. He was worried that these people would jump over the wall in a hurry, so an elite army must be deployed to guard Xianyang!
"No!" The eunuch responsible for drafting the edict respectfully accepted the order.
Ying Zheng's eyes were gleaming, he glanced at the ministers and said: "Okay, today's meeting is here, retreat!"
The officials exited the Qilin Hall and saw Feng Quji, Shusun Tong and others with their butts bleeding and being beaten to the point of dying. They couldn't help but shake their heads helplessly.
Soon, Ying Zheng's edict to build a temple to rehabilitate the mediocre tyrant King Zhou spread throughout the counties and counties of the Qin Dynasty.
This edict, drafted by Li Si, lists in detail the various merits of Emperor Zhou, Emperor Xin, and the various suppressions and slanders against Emperor Xin in Western Zhou history books and Confucian saints.
Suddenly, the entire public opinion in Da Qin was detonated!
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
Many people are talking about it in teahouses, restaurants, streets and alleys everywhere.
"I never expected that there are such stories behind King Zhou Di Xin, and that he actually did so many things for the people!"
"King Zhou is really a wise king through the ages. In the past, we were all misled by the history books of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the criticisms of the saints!"
"This is the successful king and the defeated bandit, the shameless Western Zhou Dynasty, the shameless Jiang Ziya, Bigan, Ji Chang..."
"King Zhou is a good monarch who truly cares about our common people!"
"Does the prince and general Xiang Ning have the guts? King Zhou gave ordinary people the opportunity to become officials!"
Compared to the admiration and applause of ordinary people, the nobles and wealthy class in Daqin frowned when they saw this vindication edict!
"What is your Majesty doing?"
"Does Your Majesty also want to imitate King Zhou and reuse slaves and criminals?!"
"Your Majesty must have this in mind! Damn it! In the future, there will be many low-class people and untouchables competing with us for official positions!"
"We must do something to prevent the untouchables from taking away the official positions belonging to the nobles and wealthy classes!"
"Those despicable lower-class civilians are not worthy of being officials and being above all living beings!"
"..."
The land of Huaiyin, the gate of the city.
At this moment, people were crowding around, and they were watching Ying Zheng's vindication edict to King Zhou.
The literate people read the contents of the edict to the people.
The people talked a lot.
A down-and-out young man in commoner clothes, with a stubble and a long sword in his hand walked towards the city gate curiously.
