Chapter 289
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it has already entered the second half of July. Thanks to the construction of many new water conservancy facilities to ensure the irrigation of crops, the wheat in the Dahe area of the Qinling Mountains ushered in the first bumper harvest in many years.
The common people harvested the golden ears of wheat joyfully one by one, grateful for the kindness of the imperial court.
Xianyang City, Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.
Although today is not the day of the court meeting, Ying Zheng, Meng Yi, Feng Quji, Nei Shiteng, Dunwei and other important officials of the court are still working early, working hard to deal with the mountain of memorials.
With the continuous development of Daqin, there are more and more affairs that need to be dealt with every day. Yingzheng, who used to do everything by himself, has also begun to hand over non-important matters to the Sangong Jiuqing. When he is undecided, he will report to Yingzheng. The government carries out the final holy judgment.
Suddenly, Feng Jie, who had just been transferred back and was in charge of the court counselor, frowned tightly.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
After hesitating for a long time, Feng Jie glanced at the busy Feng Quji, took a deep breath, and then pulled out a thick memorial and put it in his hand.
"what's up?"
Ying Zheng, who was reviewing the memorial, raised his head and asked.
The eyes of the important ministers were also attracted, and then a hint of surprise appeared on their faces.
The memorial that Feng Jie is holding in his hand is too thick, isn't it?
Compared with books like "Book of Rites", it is much thicker, almost catching up with the bluestone bricks in the Palace Square.
Thinking of Feng Jie's embarrassing look, everyone couldn't help feeling a bad premonition.
Especially Feng Quji was in a hurry.
He is over [-] years old, and he really can't keep up with the busy work. He has privately mentioned to Ying Zheng many times that he plans to retire and go home.
It was precisely because of Feng Quji's hard work as prime minister for many years that Ying Zheng transferred Feng Jie back from Persian County and promoted him to Lang Zhongling, one of the nine ministers.
Unexpectedly, Feng Jie seems to have encountered a big problem just after taking office.
Feng Quji's heart sank all the way.
"Your Majesty, this memorial was submitted by the clans of Julu, Handan and other counties. Its content is... to impeach His Royal Highness for disrupting the order of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen, so that businessmen and craftsmen can be equal to or even surpass the clan. It doesn't make sense!"
Feng Jie's voice fell, and he obviously felt that the atmosphere was not right.
However, he could only bite the bullet and continue to speak:
"The reason why this memorial is so thick is because it has the signatures of a full [-] clans."
Ying Zheng's expression darkened when he heard the words, and Meng Yi, Feng Quji and others were even more horrified.
Ying Yu is Ying Zheng's most satisfied crown prince, the prince of Daqin.
The impeachment of the prince would have been enough to set off a storm.
And this group of clans who don't know how to live or die, dare to toss out a book of Wanmin, this is to threaten His Majesty with public opinion.
This is simply forcing the palace!
A group of important ministers of the Qin Dynasty were suddenly so frightened that they dared not even breathe out, and the imperial study room was even more dead silent.
Chunyu Yue, who was forced into the palace last time, has no one to take care of the grass on the grave, why do these people have such short memories.
"Impeaching the prince? It's just the last struggle of a group of dying people!"
Ying Zheng glanced at everyone with a sneer and said:
"Dunwei, I'll give you a day to take this so-called "Book of Ten Thousand Peoples" and check it out. I'd like to see who they are."
"By the way, remember to copy a copy and send it to Yuxuan Pavilion for the prince to have a look at!"
"Clan, hmph, do you really think that I am too old to swing a sword?"
When everyone heard the words, they suddenly gasped.
Meng Yi, Feng Quji and others looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally they all turned into a long sigh.
Having followed Ying Zheng for so many years, they knew that if Ying Zheng was furious, there would be no serious problems, and the matter would pass when his anger subsided.
On the contrary, it was this seemingly calm attitude that caused the extreme anger.
This situation has only happened a few times before, and each time it ended in a violent storm!
This His Majesty was privately called a 'tyrant' by so many people, not without reason.
A group of important officials can only silently mourn for these lifeless people in their hearts.
You are not satisfied with a good benevolent government, so you insist on provoking His Majesty's bottom line.
You deserve it.
......
Yuxuan Pavilion, in the study.
"Father is really creative!"
Looking at the memorial to impeach him and the long list behind him, even Ying Yu couldn't help being surprised.
No matter how you look at such a unique operation, it doesn't match Shi Huang's style of painting. Who on earth led Yingzheng astray?
It was probably Wang Jian, that old-fashioned guy, but it was definitely not me anyway.
But then Ying Yu felt a little more warmth in his heart.
Ying Zheng's actions have fully demonstrated the strength of his support for him.
Brother Zheng is planning to deal a cruel blow, to bear the infamy of a tyrant again, and to clear the way for himself.
"General Zhang Han, go back and help tell Father, and say that the crown prince has his own way to deal with this group of people, please wait and see patiently."
"Forget it, the prince will go with you, so that the father can feel at ease."
Ying Yu smiled slightly.
The first emperor, the father, was like this, and he, the son, naturally couldn't really damage the prestige of the first emperor.
After all, facing this situation, Ying Yu has countless ways to deal with these deadly people.
Now it's better for them to jump out by themselves.
The stubborn rebound of this group of people was not beyond Ying Yu's expectations.
In any era, the most difficult thing to reform is the resistance of conservative diehards.
When Ying Yu vigorously advocated the way of business before, the interests of these clans had already been mobilized. However, at that time, Ying Yu had just cleaned up the alien race in the grassland, and this group of people was still afraid of Ying Yu.
What's more, the clan family is basically more or less involved in business.
With the development of business, these clan families are also profitable.
Moreover, although the status of merchants has improved, they are still far away from the clan, so they have not made much progress.
But this time, vigorously developing science and engineering, establishing the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, and improving the status of craftsmen will really touch the core interests of the clan.
How could this group of people give up their ridiculous pride and study hard with a group of craftsmen who they usually look down on?
If you can't get it, you will destroy it. This is the calculation of this group of people.
And Ying Yu's image of benevolence and righteousness during this time also made this group of people think that he seems to be a gentleman who can be bullied.
Little did he know, Ying Yu had long wanted to deal with them.
Can't wait for them to jump out by themselves.
Jin Yiwei has been monitoring the world for the past two years, and has discovered the misconduct of the powerful in many places.
These places are tyrannical and powerful, relying on the distance from Chengyang City, they acted recklessly to deceive the upper and lower.
Due to communication reasons, the Qin court's control over the local area needs to be conveyed and implemented layer by layer through the local government office, and the funds allocated by the treasury are the same.
Because of this, some officials are able to deduct layer by layer from the allocated funds, and it is common for orders from the court to be delivered selectively, or deliberately delayed.
This problem cannot be completely eradicated after a thousand years, let alone Daqin, which has only built a few straight concrete roads now.
It's a pity that they didn't know that Ying Yu had already saved a hand!
Just wait for them to jump out by themselves, and then catch them all!
Ying Yu's hands were never soft.
Kindness has always been only for one's own people.
And this group of so-called clan masters and local wealthy families who are causing trouble are obviously not!
