Qin Dynasty snare people

After chatting all the way, Luo Yan and Meng Tian came to Xianyang Palace together.

In front of the palace, most of the officials have arrived, including Meng Ao and Meng Yi who have just recovered from a serious illness. As for Meng Yi's father, Meng Wu, he led his army to garrison in northern Xinjiang to guard against intrusion by barbarians. This time, Ying Zheng's crowning ceremony Did not come back to participate.

"grandfather!"

Meng Tian strode up to Meng Ao and bowed his hands.

Meng Yi looked at Meng Tian's return and greeted him with joy: "Brother!"

"……good!"

Meng Ao looked at Meng Tian, ​​who was a bit more iron-blooded than before, nodded with satisfaction, and chuckled, being able to see the younger generation become talented is better than anything for an old man.

Luo Yan bowed to Meng Ao and walked aside. He knew that Meng Ao would have something to say to Meng Tian, ​​and it was inappropriate for him to stand there.

This court meeting can be regarded as the first court meeting after Ying Zheng's coronation ceremony, and it is of extraordinary significance.

Think of this.

Luo Yan glanced at Lu Buwei, who was not far away with his eyes closed and silent. Compared with before, Lu Buwei seemed to have fewer party members around him now. Many officials who had seen the wind had begun to wait and see, and did not continue to support Lu Buwei. Go to the end.

Then Luo Yan looked at Mr. Changping again and smiled slightly at Mr. Changping.

Now it is clear that Luo Yan and Chang Pingjun are on the same side, and they are both on Ying Zheng's side.

While waiting in this weird atmosphere, a low roar sounded in front of the palace.

"Enter the palace!"

Hearing the sound, the officials in front of the hall also stood in two rows skillfully, like well-behaved middle school students, and walked neatly into the hall.

After standing for a while, Ying Zheng, dressed in black royal robes and with a crown on his head, walked out. Compared to the past, Ying Zheng seems to be more majestic now, with more imperial power and less youthfulness. It feels more solemn and solemn, making people dare not joke with it casually.

The ministers saluted Ying Zheng and then began their daily reporting duties.

Naturally, it was a small thing at the beginning, which was regarded as an appetizer, and then it gradually got into the main topic.

What Luo Yan didn't expect was that he was impeached today.

An old minister who was in charge of finance came out and impeached Luo Yan with sharp words for lining his own pockets and taking all the money gained from the Chamber of Commerce without ever turning it over to the national treasury.

"Master, is this possible?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng looked at Luo Yan calmly and asked lightly.

Hearing this, Luo Yan took a step forward and first glanced at the old man who was blowing his nose and staring. At the same time, he glanced at Lu Buwei from the corner of his eye. Old Lu was no longer covering himself. He didn't give him much time to think, and answered calmly. Said: "There is absolutely no such thing. What Chen Neishi said is just a partial belief. There has been no investigation. I have never touched any of this money. All of this money is in the Seven Kingdoms Chamber of Commerce. If you don't believe it, you can send someone Go investigate.

Every account is recorded! "

Does he look like someone who is short of money? !

What a joke!

"Who doesn't know that the Chamber of Commerce was founded by the Taifu, and the person who manages it, Li Si, is a subordinate of the Taifu. How can we find out? I think that such a huge amount of money should be handed over to the national treasury!"

Chen Neishi looked at Ying Zheng and said.

To put it concisely and to the point, this business is not suitable for Luo Yan to manage as a master.

The bottom line is that there is more and more money, and some people are jealous.

In the past, Lu Buwei helped to suppress it. Now that Ying Zheng is in charge, Lu Buwei's power is gradually reduced. Naturally, some people want to get involved. As for why Lu Buwei does not continue to help suppress it, it is difficult to guess.

Lu Buwei's thoughts have always been very speculative.

However, this impeachment is obviously useless to Luo Yan.

Luo Yan just glanced at the stupid old man and responded calmly: "Does Chen Neishi know that this Chamber of Commerce also belongs to the King? I am just managing it on your behalf, and the King has accounts for every sum of money! "

After speaking, he looked at the other person with a kind smile.

"???"

Chen Neishi's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Luo Yan in disbelief, and then looked at Ying Zheng. Why didn't he, the country's financial controller, know about such a big thing?

Hearing Luo Yan's words, the officials were a little surprised. They looked at Luo Yan, and then couldn't help but glance at Ying Zheng sitting on the throne.

Grandma's.

He had known for a long time that Luo Yan was favored by Ying Zheng, but he never expected that he would wear a pair of pants.

The family is not that close.

Such a large amount of property from the Chamber of Commerce was directly handed over to Luo Yan for management without even sending a single person to keep an eye on it. This level of trust was evident.

There were quite a few people with red eyes during this period, but most of them restrained themselves.

"Chen Neishi, I remember that the matter of the Chamber of Commerce was discussed in this hall a few months ago. I also stated its importance. Compared with mere money, the Chamber of Commerce is more important to manage merchants and set a template for controlling merchants in the future. , its importance involves national policy, Chen Neishi suddenly impeached me, I don’t know what the purpose is?

Could it be that he wants to prevent the Chamber of Commerce from continuing to develop? "

Luo Yan's smile slowly faded, and he looked at Waiter Chen and said calmly.

"I never meant this!"

Chen Neishi heard this and said quickly to Ying Zheng.

"Back off!"

Ying Zheng glanced at Chen Shi indifferently, his eyes no less than announcing that the other party's official career was over. Then he looked at Luo Yan and said calmly: "The Grand Tutor has been loyal and dedicated to Qin since he entered Qin. The merits are obvious to all, and I want to confer the title of Marquis of Yueyang on the Grand Tutor, with a settlement of 3,000 households, what do you think?"

After saying that, Ying Zheng calmly scanned the whole place. He just paused at Lu Buwei's body and then passed directly over him.

Marquis Yueyang? !

Hearing this name, all the officials present were stunned. Many people were a little confused and looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief. Ying Zheng was going to push Luo Yan to the sky.

The word Yueyang is not chosen casually. It represents the city of Yueyang, the old capital before the Qin Dynasty, which is of great significance.

Qin's strength began from then on.

Lu Buwei also frowned slightly and looked at Ying Zheng. He obviously didn't expect Ying Zheng to be so generous. Is he going to seal Luo Yan's fiefdom near the old capital of Qin?

Aren't you worried that those old Qin people won't agree?

If Ying Zheng had not yet been crowned, Lu Buwei would never agree with Ying Zheng's decision. But now, especially at this moment, Ying Zheng's first words after being crowned as pro-government, this forced Lu Buwei to consider the consequences of his opposition. What would Ying Zheng think?

What will the ministers think?

This is no longer a matter of granting a title, but a game between Ying Zheng and the ministers to see how many of them will object.

Is Ying Zheng trying to force the ministers to express their stance? !

Lu Buwei figured out Ying Zheng's thoughts at this moment. The title of Luo Yan was just a cover. The purpose was more to test and see if the officials in the court were human or ghosts. Ying Zheng, who he had trained with his own hands, began to show his fangs. , there are a few real emperors who have no desire to control.

Ying Zheng looked at the expressions of everyone present silently, waiting for their opinions.

Lu Buwei was not the only one who figured out Ying Zheng's thoughts at this moment. There were also a few people who could stand here who were stupid. No one was willing to jump out and oppose Ying Zheng directly.

Because jumping out at this time would not only offend Luo Yan, but also offend Ying Zheng.

"I have no objection. The Taifu's achievements in Qin are obvious to all, and he deserves it!"

Changping Jun took the lead to step forward and speak for his "good brother" Luo Yan. His words were full of recognition of Luo Yan and approval of Ying Zheng's words.

As Lord Changping spoke first, Lord Changwen and others on the side also stood up and stood in line.

"The general will have no objections!"

General Meng Ao also stood up and said.

His attitude undoubtedly represents that of the military.

At this moment, only Lu Buwei's faction is left. Of course, there are still some grassroots who are still waiting and watching, silently watching the changes in the situation.

Under the gaze of everyone.

Lu Buwei silently took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "I have no objection!"

As Lu Buwei's words fell, everything settled, and it also announced the end of an era.

Ying Zheng did not stop his act of conferring titles. He looked at the ministers silently and continued: "I want to form a cavalry. Meng Tian will be in charge. I will recruit people who are good at fighting from the Pingyang heavy armor army. The number is tentatively set at three. Ten thousand!"

"I want to set up the position of national master in addition to the title of title, and confer the title of capable people and strangers from hundreds of schools..."

"I want to set up Dongchang and Shadow Secret Guards to monitor the world..."

"I want to build a school to accommodate hundreds of scholars and scholars..."

"I want to change the laws of Qin..."

…

Ying Zheng told all his plans in one breath. After speaking, he looked at the ministers indifferently and said slowly: "What do you think?"

He doesn't have much thought to take his time and play the game of king and minister with his ministers. Now that he has sat on the throne, if he still takes his time and restrains himself, when will he be able to rule the world? What Ying Zheng wants is ministers who can accompany him to rule the world. Rather than restraining his hands and feet, what's the use of staying informed if he's obstructing him? !

An unusually domineering aura emanated from Ying Zheng, a majesty that could not be denied, overlooking everyone present.

Luo Yan also realized at this moment that he had underestimated Ying Zheng.

In the original work, Gai Nie's evaluation of Ying Zheng is very correct.

He is a person who has never appeared before and may never appear again in the future.

He is even more a terrible emperor!

The emperor of the ages is really not just talk, at least this tyranny is shocking.

Luo Yan had no doubt that those who stood up to refute today in the courtroom would not need to appear again tomorrow.

"I have no objection, but I feel that the king's pace is a bit too fast, so we should take it one step at a time!"

During a period of silence, Lu Buwei took a step forward, raised his hands to Ying Zheng, and said in a deep voice, neither refuting nor agreeing, but just reminding Ying Zheng from his position.

At this time, only his nominal father-in-law and prime minister could say a few words.

"So I didn't give the order directly, but discussed it with you."

Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei calmly, paused, and then said slowly, the overbearing pressure disappeared quickly, as if he was really just discussing.

Luo Yan knew that Ying Zheng didn't have this idea. He just didn't want to get entangled with Lu Buwei because it was pointless.

Lu Buwei may have made a wrong decision by standing up today.

Ying Zheng didn't need this reminder.

Especially when he thinks it's right!
