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

Chapter 52 We are willing to help Prime Minister Qin build a feudal country!

Now that the world is at peace, there are many high officials and nobles who are proud of their merits, especially the old Qin people in Guanzhong.

Yingzheng did not treat his meritorious officials harshly, but he would never abandon public affairs for personal reasons, so he transferred Hanren Teng to serve as the internal history officer of Guanzhong.

The Qin Dynasty had two internal histories. One was the internal history of Zhisu, which was also known as Da Si Nong and one of the nine ministers.

The second is the internal history of Guanzhong, which is equivalent to the governor of the capital. He is in charge of Xianyang and more than 40 counties in Guanzhong, and his status is no less than that of Jiuqing!

Facts have proved that Ying Zheng's vision of his son is not very good, but his ability in selecting ministers is beyond doubt.

When Nei Shiteng took office, he showed his hand and directly attacked Sangong and Jiuqing, which greatly satisfied Ying Zheng, who was a supporter of Legalism!

"Father, do you want to issue an edict to pardon the ministers?"

Fusu proposed hesitantly and said, "When I came back from the banquet yesterday, I was so exhausted that I lost half my life."

Ying Zheng shook his head solemnly: "You gentlemen have broken the law and are guilty like the common people. How can I forgive them?"

"Those people are ministers, especially Li Si, who is a court lieutenant, but they know how to break the law. They are probably responsible for the arrogance in Guanzhong."

"Besides, it doesn't matter if you're tired, it's better than cutting off your nose or chopping your hands."

"If Qin Qing had not advocated it, he would have asked the Tingwei Mansion to change the law and change all corporal punishments under the death penalty to hard labor, and someone else would have suffered this time!"

These words left Fusu speechless.

However, he was kind in the end, so he turned around and said: "No matter how old you are, you should be punished by your descendants. This is also the law."

Ying Zheng suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at his son who always sang the opposite.

Fusu had accumulated rich experience in getting along with him in recent days. When he saw his posture, he immediately ran away.

As expected, Ying Zheng held out a bundle of bamboo slips at some unknown time. Seeing how fast he was running, he had no choice but to give up and cursed: "You are not a son of man, and you are not like your father!"

After a pause, he said to Fusu who had escaped from the palace: "Go and tell the ministers that when Qin Qing returns to his position, they will end their hard labor!"

"Here."

Fusu stood at the door of the palace and bowed his hands in response, then went to Zhao Gao to borrow his horse and led his attendants to the construction site outside the city.

…

At noon, Fusu rushed to the construction site.

The ministers, dripping with sweat, were sharing mung bean soup with the libertines to alleviate the dying backlash of the autumn tiger.

However, there are many more libertines today than yesterday, and they all come here to earn some change.

"Gentlemen, can you still hold on?" Fusu dismounted and asked with concern.

"I'm sorry that the prince is worried about you."

The ministers stood up and saluted weakly, and said with a wry smile: "I can't compare to these young children. I can only say that I still have life."

Fusu nodded, filled a bowl of mung bean soup, and while sipping, said: "I have begged my father for mercy... Hey, this soup is actually iced?"

Lao Wang Wan said, "It was sent here by Prime Minister Qin. If this soup had not been used to relieve the heat, my life would have ended long ago."

Fusu was suddenly surprised and said: "I don't know where Prime Minister Qin got the ice. You must know that at this time, there is no ice available in the palace."

The ministers could only smile bitterly again. If they had a choice, they would rather sit in the stuffy duty room and handle official business than enjoy ice-cold mung bean soup here.

Seeing that they were like this, Fusu continued what he had just said: "Don't worry, gentlemen, I have appealed to my father for mercy. My father said that as long as Prime Minister Qin returns to his position, your hard labor can end."

The ministers were overjoyed and thanked him one after another. The prince was so kind.

However, when they took a closer look, they grimaced again.

Although Fusu, an honest man, had conveyed Ying Zheng's intention in a very tactful way, no matter how tactful he was, the meaning was still the same.

If Qin Mo no longer appears, they will continue to do hard labor!

As for Qin Mo's resisting attitude yesterday, they all looked at it again. It was simply an impossible task to get Qin Mo back to his position.

This is because the First Emperor himself refused to come, but let them come!

"Gentlemen, do you understand what Your Majesty means?" Lao Wang Wan said to his colleagues with a serious face.

The ministers nodded helplessly: "It's clear."

Lao Wangwan drained the mung bean soup in one gulp, smashed the pottery bowl, and said resolutely: "This time, we must make Qin Prime Minister return to his position!"

The ministers were awe-struck, then drank mung beans in pain, smashed their pottery bowls, and shouted in unison: "Here!"

The corner of Fusu's mouth twitched as he looked at it.

The libertines around him also had dull faces.

With this formation, are you sure you are going to ask the Marquis of Qin to be appointed prime minister?

Why does it look more like Zhuang Xing, going to assassinate the Marquis of Qin?

If we say, "The wind is rustling and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone," then even Jing Ke is not as good as...

The ministers noticed the gazes around them and seemed to feel that they were too embarrassed. They hurriedly said to the supervisor: "Your Majesty has an order, and you have heard it. Take us to find Prime Minister Qin quickly!"

The construction worker suppressed a smile and nodded, leading the group of middle-aged and middle-aged people to find Qin Mo who was inspecting the construction site.

Fusu immediately followed, but he refused to miss a good show.

…

When the group found Qin Mo, he was washing and skinning a fat hare by the river, while Yu Ji and the yellow dog were playing in the water nearby, apparently going for a picnic.

When Qin Mo saw the crowd from a distance, he couldn't help but secretly sigh that his ghost was still there. He called to Yu Ji and fled along the river bank.

The ministers were half dead from exhaustion before, but now they saw Qin Mo trying to avoid them, and they immediately burst out with astonishing energy, and chased after them one by one as fast as flying.

Especially that Meng Yi, who was worthy of being a general, he made a detour with a diagonal stab, blocked Qin Mo's path, and formed an encirclement with the officials!

"Prime Minister Qin, please restore your position."

Meng Yi bowed his hands and bowed to the ground.

The ministers caught up and bowed and said: "I hope that Prime Minister Qin will take state affairs as his priority and return to his position!"

Qin Mo remained silent for a long time, then suddenly looked behind the ministers and said, "Your Majesty, why are you here?!"

Ministers: "..."

The officials were indifferent and just looked at him blankly.

Use the same trick twice and it has no effect!

Qin Mo lost his temper completely and said with a black face: "Gentlemen, I have already said that I have one hundred thousand slaves to support, but I really don't have the skills to do so."

"Nowadays, there are still countless prodigals who come to work. If I return to my position, who will earn the money and food to support them? All you gentlemen?"

He said this as if his family's property could not make money without him.

The ministers were full of slander in their hearts, but they did not dare to show it on their faces. Instead, they gritted their teeth and said in unison: "Okay, we will support you!"

Qin Mo immediately shook his head, looked at the tattered robes on their bodies and said, "You are also honest and honest, how can I ask for your money and food?"

The ministers suddenly felt their faces burning up, and they all looked disdainful for a moment.

They were dressed in shabby clothes just to pretend to be poor and avoid being ripped off by Qin Mo.

Now it seems that I can't escape the first grade of junior high school, but I can't escape the fifteenth grade. Not only will I be sent to the door to be slaughtered, but I will also be teased.

Lao Wangwan quickly adjusted his mood and said solemnly: "Lianku will return to Lianku. As long as Prime Minister Qin returns to his position, we will save money and food even if we don't eat or drink."

The ministers followed and said: "Of course, we are willing to help Prime Minister Qin build a feudal country!"
