Although Lord Feng, the first assistant, had some small thoughts of his own, he was truly loyal to the emperor and patriotic. After knowing that Qin Jiyan asked the censor to impeach those uncooperative ministers, the first assistant Feng did not suppress the matter secretly and confront Qin Jiyan.
, and did not let the situation develop and let Qin Jiyan attack the minister.
Even though he knew that he would be unsuccessful if he tried to persuade Qin Jiyan at this moment, Feng Shoufu still chose to go to the palace to see Qin Jiyan, hoping that he could dissuade Qin Jiyan.
As soon as Qin Jiyan heard the eunuch's announcement, he knew why Feng Shoufu was here. He smiled and asked Han Fengshoufu to come to see him.
"I see you, Your Majesty, long live long live. Long live long live." Feng Shoufu made a solid salute, and did not rely on his own power to make remarks in front of Qin Jiyan.
"Ping Shen." Qin Jiyan valued the elders Feng Shoufu, Lord Jiao and Old General Feng very highly. These were the rare people who had not fallen into trouble due to the former prince's affairs.
"Come here, please give me a seat." As soon as Qin Jiyan finished speaking, a eunuch came forward with a chair. It can be seen that this was not the first time that Qin Jiyan gave Feng Shoufu a seat.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for sitting down." The Emperor gave him face, and Feng Shoufu was not polite and sat down readily. He did not sit down carefully like most people, who only sit on a sharp point, but sat down solidly.
This was not the first time that Feng Shoufu and Qin Jiyan had dealt with each other. Both monarch and minister knew each other's temper. Feng Shoufu did not mince words and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, I saw the excerpts of several censors in the cabinet. I know those
People are guilty, but if more than ten officials are punished at one time, is it too much?"
Qin Jiyan wants to move more than a dozen officials this time, and all of them hold important positions. Although their official positions are not obvious, their positions are very important, and they all have real power.
These people are also conscientious in their daily work, and they can handle all the official duties beautifully. Although they cannot be regarded as the pillars of the country, they are certainly not mediocre.
Qin Jiyan suddenly attacked them. Although the government would not be in a panic and there would be no one to take over, it would make the ministers feel chilled!
Although these dozen officials made mistakes, they made mistakes that most officials would make. Qin Jiyan dismissed them one by one because of these things and investigated them. What do other people think?
Do you think Qin Jiyan will take action against them?
Once officials become aware of danger, there is no guarantee that those people will not unite and fight Qin Jiyan.
Since ancient times, it has been believed that there is an invisible game between the emperor and his ministers. The emperor has great power, but the ministers have less authority. The emperor can do whatever he wants, and the ministers can only become the emperor's yes-men. On the contrary, the ministers have more power than the emperor wants.
Whatever you do, you have to consult with the ministers and finally find the best way.
At this moment, Qin Jiyan is in power, and the power between the monarch and his ministers is at a delicate balance point. Once this balance is broken, there will inevitably be a fight between dragon and tiger in the court. And once a fight breaks out, there is no guarantee that it will not give way.
Careful people take advantage of loopholes.
Qin Jiyan knew the worries of Feng Shoufu. Qin Jiyan had been grooming him as the future prince since he was five years old. He couldn't understand this. Wasn't his life in vain?
But after understanding it, we still have to do what needs to be done.
Qin Jiyan said without discussion: "I have to deal with these people." Although these people usually don't show off, they are loyal to the old emperor and have real power in their hands. If he doesn't deal with these people, once the old emperor
Contacting these people will cause him a lot of trouble.
"Your Majesty..." Mr. Feng stood up to request, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Qin Jiyan, "Shoufu Feng, there is no need to say any more, I have made up my mind."
Feng Shoufu knew that he could not persuade Qin Jiyan, so he could only sigh and said: "Your Majesty, is this the first batch?"
I don't know if it is the luck or misfortune of Great Qin that their new emperor is capable, but also very strong. It can be said that Qiankun is arbitrary and cannot tolerate others saying no.
There's nothing wrong with being an emperor, it's just...
He still hoped that the emperor would listen to the opinions of his ministers. After all, the emperor was only one person and his energy was limited. He could not understand everything, and the suggestions given by his ministers were not all useless.
"First Assistant Feng thinks too much. I am not a tyrant, and I am not a cruel person who kills anyone who refuses to obey." This group of people hold important positions and have considerable power. The purpose of getting rid of this group is to scare others and prevent others from doing so.
Dare to act rashly.
"Your Majesty, are you going to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys?" Feng Shoufu felt relieved.
Qin Jiyan did not respond, but asked: "So what if it is? So what if it is not?" As an emperor, he doesn't need many people to know his thoughts, and even if he knows, he can't say them out.
"If the Holy One wants to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, please allow me to appease everyone privately; if not, I ask the Holy One to hand over these people to me. I guarantee that in ten days these people will not be in the capital and will not be in this position." As the chief assistant, Feng
It won't be a problem for your Excellency to transfer a few officials.
Feng Shoufu's handling method was very gentle, but this was not what Qin Jiyan wanted. What he wanted was for the ministers below to see the emperor's thunderous wrath.
Qin Jiyan said with a cold face: "Feng Shoufu, just do what you should do."
Feng Shoufu heard the dissatisfaction in Qin Ji's words, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and resigned.
When the emperor doesn't want you to know his thoughts, you have to pretend not to know even if you know.
Feng Shoufu's dissuasion was ineffective, and he did not dare to suppress the confession in private. Therefore, the first morning court after the New Year was not the relaxed and leisurely one that everyone imagined, but the atmosphere was tense and full of gunpowder smoke.
As soon as the eunuch announced the start of the morning court, Qin Jiyan smashed down the dozen or so papers in his hand and said angrily: "You have enriched your own pockets and used your power for personal gain. You are truly good officials of our great Qin Dynasty and good parents and officials of the people!"
The uninformed adults were startled and had no idea what was going on. They instinctively knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, calm down."
"Calm down your anger? Look at what you have done, how can I calm down?" Qin Jiyan became even more angry and powerful. The ministers did not expect that the emperor would get angry when he went to court on the first day of the new year, and they were all frightened.
, head buried very low, for fear of offending the Holy One.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down." Everyone didn't know what was going on, so they could only shout without thinking. Qin Jiyan glanced down at him and snorted, "Nian!"
The eunuch hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the book on the ground and started reading.
No surprise, these are the excerpts used by the imperial censor to impeach those officials. The eunuch read them out word by word. After each book, an official collapsed to the ground and wanted to plead, but could not make a sound for a long time...
…
Those who can go to court are all officials of third rank or above. These officials have been involved in officialdom for many years. They know very well that someone will be impeached when they go to court on the first day of the new year. This is definitely the emperor's tacit approval.
The emperor wants to deal with them. Is their plea useful?
Others were also scared and sweating profusely, fearing that they would be remembered next. The atmosphere in the hall was tense for a while, and everyone was in danger. It was obviously a cold day, but all the ministers in the hall were sweating profusely...
