Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me for corruption

Chapter 49: The First Emperor passed the blame and stopped being a king!

"Did you ask for Qin Hou's secret recipe for concrete?"

Feng Jie finally asked the thoughts of all the sleeping ministers.

Since concrete can be used to build the Kansai Straight Road and can be used to build water conservancy, it can also be used to build the Chi Road connecting Kyushu.

Of course, the court cannot let go of such a good thing that benefits the country and the people.

Moreover, after the road is built with concrete, it not only facilitates people's business travel, but also has a hidden function.

At that time, roads across the country were all solid and smooth concrete roads, so straight roads were not so special.

Does the emperor still have the nerve to collect toll taxes?

Obviously not!

"Didn't the Marquis of Qin report the secret recipe to the court for credit?" Li Yu tugged at his beard and asked strangely.

This question was something only an engineering guy like him could say.

That was the majestic Marquis Che of Qin. Standing at the top of the twentieth rank, he was already undefeated. What credit could he get for reporting the secret recipe to the court?

Do you really care about the small amount of wealth and land as a reward?

When Li Yu saw that the sleeping ministers were silent, he also reacted and said anxiously: "That concrete is a thing that benefits all people, how can the Marquis of Qin hide his secrets?"

He is in charge of Daqin Water Conservancy, and he also hopes to use concrete to rebuild Dujiangyan and Zhengguo Canal, which will be a once and for all project and save the annual manpower maintenance.

If there is no concrete, it will be repaired again!

"No, I have to go to Qin Hou to ask for the secret method."

Li Yu had a seizure and stood up to walk out of the duty room.

None of the bedchambers stopped him, but their faces were full of encouragement, admiring that "Li Jiancheng is really serving the country and the people."

However, Li Yu stopped again after taking two steps, and turned around to sit down with an embarrassed expression.

A few days ago, the ministers went to Qin Mo to question him, and he was one of them. No matter how thick-skinned he was, how could he open his mouth and ask for the secret recipe for concrete?

When all the bedchambers saw him retreating, they couldn't help but smack their lips in disappointment.

"Perhaps, we should go to your Majesty and ask him to ask the Marquis of Qin for the secret recipe." Lao Wang Wan came up with an idea.

Li Yu is a conscientious person, but he is not stupid. He has already seen that his colleagues want him to be the leader.

He pretended not to hear what Lao Wang Wan said and only focused on processing the slips.

No one who can sit in this valuable room is really stupid!

Lao Wangwan had no choice but to say to all the ministers: "I will go and give advice to His Majesty."

"good."

All the bedchambers nodded in agreement, and Li Yu no longer pretended to be stupid.

So, all the bedchambers left the duty room together and went to look for Ying Zheng Shuoxiang.

However, they were completely out of their minds. Ying Zheng had known for a long time that Qin Mo was going to use the secret recipe of concrete to tease them, so it was impossible for them to help them to dismantle Qin Mo.

Moreover, he already regretted letting Qin Mo resign.

The ministers pushed him to come forward and go to Qin Mo to ask for the secret method. Why didn't he want to push the ministers to come forward and go to Qin Mo to become prime minister?

"I understand what you have said. The concrete made by Zhen Guohou is indeed beneficial to the country and the people."

"But... the Marquis of Zhenguo has resigned and is now idle. If he is forced to give up the secret recipe out of the interests of the family and the country, it may be like adding insult to injury. I absolutely cannot do that!"

Ying Zheng shook his head solemnly and rejected the suggestions of the ministers.

With this look, those who knew him were the ruthless First Emperor who followed Legalism, but those who didn't know him thought he was some kind and kind gentleman!

The ministers slandered, but had nothing to say.

Speaking of this, of course they would not dare to encourage Ying Zheng to do unjust things!

"However, if the Marquis of Zhen Guo returns to his position, you won't need to ask for the secret recipe for concrete. He will come up with it himself to benefit the people."

Ying Zheng changed the subject and took the opportunity to reveal his thoughts.

The ministers were convinced and nodded one after another.

But immediately everyone was stunned and looked up at Ying Zheng in astonishment.

what's the situation?

Do you want the Marquis of Qin to return to his position?

He has just left that seat!

His butt hasn't cooled down for a while, so let him sit back down again?!

"Why are you looking at me like this?"

"You were the one who forced the Marquis of Zhenguo to resign as prime minister, right?"

Ying Zheng glared and scolded.

The ministers were once again speechless. The facts were such that there was no room for sophistry.

But Ying Zheng was a bit unruly when he put the blame entirely on them.

If you had the ability, don’t take back the seal then!

Do you really think that all the ministers in the dynasty are all foolish men and women who don’t understand the king’s intentions?

"I have heard that the people in Xianyang City have been quite critical of your actions that day."

"If you are interested, go find the Marquis of Zhenguo and return this seal!"

Ying Zheng picked up the gold seal on the desk and could not refuse.

Next to him, Zhao Gao took the golden seal with both hands, quickly descended the steps, and handed it over to the leader, Lao Wang Wan.

"Go for it!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand indifferently and stopped paying attention to them. He lowered his head and began to review the slips.

Lao Wang Wan held the golden seal and exited the hall together with the other ministers, looking at each other with a wry smile.

"Your Majesty is really..."

Feng Jie suppressed the urge to complain and shook his head.

Lao Wang Wan also shook his head and sighed: "This is what we are like when we are ministers of others."

"Gentlemen, let's go, find the Marquis of Qin...find the Prime Minister of Qin, and return the Prime Minister's seal!"

…

Under the leadership of Old Wang Wan, the ministers left the Qin Palace and went straight to the hut next to the Marquis Academy.

Snapped--

When passing by the school, a certain Tingwei named Li suddenly slapped his forehead and said: "I have been distracted these days, but I forgot to ask your majesty for your grace to let my young son come to study here."

With that said, he turned around and headed back to the palace.

Lao Wang Wan's face darkened: "Li Tingwei is going to back down from the battle? Leave us alone to avoid the embarrassment!"

When the ministers came to ask questions before, it was this guy who fanned the flames.

Just because the ministers didn’t say it doesn’t mean they’ve forgotten it!

Li Si paused and had to come back again.

He is not Qin Mo. He needs to be alone to avoid suspicion, and he still needs to maintain relations with the officials...

"If you want to find the prince, you can go to the road construction site outside the city. I'm afraid you won't be at home these days."

The one-armed gatekeeper of the academy saw that everyone was going to the small cottage next door, so he promptly reminded the officials.

Lao Wangwan nodded and thanked him, then led his ministers to the outside of the city.

…

Road construction sites are easy to find.

The main reason is that the road is easy to find. Once you leave Xianyang City, you can see hundreds of people trying to walk on the repaired cement road.

The ministers had heard what Li Yu said about Xiehu before, and they were also curious in their hearts. Now that the road was in front of them, they naturally wanted to go up and give it a try.

Choking——

Feng Jie reached out and pulled out the sword from his waist: "I want to try to see how solid this road is!"

As he spoke, the fine iron sword struck the curb.

The ministers followed suit and drew their swords to test.

In this era, the boundaries between civil servants and military generals were not very clear. They were all ruthless characters who were on horseback to run the army and dismounted to serve as herdsmen.

After leaving the palace of the King of Qin, all the ministers kept their swords close to their bodies. Now they exerted all their strength to chop, and for a while, the road teeth were chopped into pieces!

The people who were watching the excitement saw that all of them had high official titles and did not dare to step forward to dissuade them.

"Hey, those cowards over there dare to attack me... How dare they attack my road?!"

Suddenly there was a loud shout in the distance.

The ministers quickly stopped and looked for the sound. There was no doubt that it was Qin Mo!

Finally it’s 100,000 words, ahhhh, it’s not easy!

Thanks to Wang’s Arrogant A for the 2-point reward!

Thanks to Xiafei o for the 2-point reward!
