When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 219

At this time, Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the thousand-year-old black black jade, had torch-like eyes, his expression was indifferent, and he was not angry and majestic, sitting there like a piece of ice that could not be shaken for ten thousand years.

I saw him with stern brows, falcon-like eyes, straight nose, tightly closed lips, looking down slowly.

"Where is Tingwei?"

Ying Zheng's opening caught the attention of the ministers, because it meant that Ying Zheng was about to end.

Although this was Zhang Ji's confrontation with officials from the Xiangbang faction and the Empress Dowager's faction, everyone knew that this was actually a tug of war between Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, and various factions.

In this tug-of-war, Ying Zheng is not only a player, but also a referee from a certain point of view.

Therefore, in this tug-of-war of power, Yingzheng has a natural advantage that others do not have.

A middle-aged man with a slightly slender figure slowly got up, walked to the middle of the court officials, leaned over and said, "The minister is here!"

"Deal with according to law."

Just four words, but deprived the lives of more than a hundred password clan members behind Ling Qi.

However, no one pleaded for Ling Qi.

In the court, if someone is making mistakes, as long as they are not political enemies, most of the officials will end up pleading for the wrongdoer.

But in the army, once someone is questioned, unless the crime is really beyond punishment, the generals will often intercede for him.

After all, who can guarantee that he will not make mistakes in his life?

If one day he made a mistake, would he end up with a tragic ending where no one pleaded for mercy?

However, today's situation is different after all, no one is willing to stand up and intercede for Ling Qi.

But helpless, Zhang Ji's hat is really too big, the crime of family punishment, how many people have been convicted of family punishment in the history of Qin State?

What's more, this is a criticism of Qin Fa.

Qin Fa is the foundation of the Great Qin State, and it cannot be criticized.

Of course, it's not only for this reason, but also because Ling Qi is Lao Ai's confidant.

Although Lai Ai is a courtier of the Queen Mother, there are very few people in the court who have a good sense of Lai Ai.

Except for the manpower under Lao Ai's command, the rest of the officials felt disdain for Lao Ai, who was born in the market.

It's not entirely because of Lao Ai's humble background, but because of Lao Ai's arrogance and domineering.

It was just a tool supported by Zhao Ji to check and balance Lu Buwei, but he was granted the title of Marquis of Changxin, the title of Marquis that they had worked so hard for all their lives, and at the same time they were granted the title of [-] households.

You must know that since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, there have been only one person who has been named a Marquis.

The first marquis in Daqin was Shangjun Wei Yang.

Although Wei Yang is often referred to as "Shang Jun", his title is actually the highest rank of "Liehou" in the "Twenty-Class System".

With Shang Jun's literary and martial arts, establishing the laws of the country, changing folk customs, strengthening the Qin State, and seizing Hexi, no one is dissatisfied with the title of Marquis.

The second is "Ranghou" Wei Ran, whose fiefdoms are in "Rang" and "Taoyi".

The third is "Yinghou" Fan Ju, originally from Wei, who proposed the famous strategy of "distance friendship and near attack" for Qin State, which pointed out the way for Qin State to unify the world, and it is reasonable to be named a Marquis.

And the fourth person who was granted the title of Marquis is the current Xiangbang of the Great Qin Dynasty, Lu Buwei, Marquis of Wenxin.

There is no need to describe Lu Buwei's achievements one by one, the officials are convinced.

But what is Lao Ai?
It's nothing more than being reckless in the market, and he has no merits, so he can be named a marquis?

Moreover, even Shang Yang, Wei Ran, and Fan Ju had never been treated like this in a feudal city of [-] households. Why should he be lame?
The idea of ​​judging titles based on merit has gradually changed the thinking of every official of the Qin Kingdom as Qin Fa has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, various factions in the court are actually somewhat dissatisfied with Zhao Ji's behavior of conferring the title of Lai Ai. As a result, no one pleaded for Ling Qi, who was Lai Ai's confidant.

In addition to these reasons, the most critical point is due to the current situation.

It is the general trend for Yingzheng to be in charge of the government. Even if it fails today, in two years at the latest, Yingzheng will be in charge of the government.

If Yingzheng was still the naive child who had no power in his hands, they might have hesitated, but with the support of the military, Yingzheng could use violent means to forcibly take charge of the government.

What will happen to those who oppose today?
Now that Yingzheng asked Tingwei to deal with Ling Qi according to law, isn't the hidden meaning behind it just to kill chickens to scare monkeys?
This is a warning to those courtiers who have not yet spoken.

Of course, this warning is mainly aimed at the ministers of the Xiangbang clan and the Queen Mother clan headed by Lai Ai. For the courtiers of other factions, such as the old Qin clan, Chu clan and other factions, they don't care at all, and even cheer for it.

Now most of the power of the Qin State is distributed to Lu Buwei and Lao Ai, which inevitably makes the courtiers of other factions jealous.

And Yingzheng pro-government means the development of a new political structure, and it also means a new distribution of power and new opportunities!

How can this not make people's hearts beat and cheer?
"Chen Kui, follow the king's orders!"

A look of excitement flashed across Ting Wei's eyes.

Lai Ai and his party members are doing mischief in Xianyang City every day, and Kui Zhuang has long been determined to deal with it, but he is no longer that passionate young man after all. He dare not gamble himself and his family's wealth and life to fight with the Queen Mother, so he can only bear it again and again. .

However, Kai Xiang was worried about another thing.

Now the person in charge of the guards of the royal palace is another confidant of Lao Ai, Wei Weijie. Will he and Lao Ai behind him watch the Chinese doctor Ling Qi being taken down like this?
When everyone was waiting for how Lai Ai and Wei Weiji would react, Ling Qi suddenly yelled: "Wait a minute!"

"The premise is that the new system is suitable for the crime that the past is not the present. If the empress dowager opposes it as the queen mother and as the biological mother, can such a system be considered suitable?"

After all, the Chinese doctor Ling Qi is not mediocre. As a person who is not an old friend of Lai Ai, but as a scholar, he can get the support of Lai Ai who hates scholars. Naturally, he still has a bit of brains and means.

Facing the crisis of clan slaying, he still has a bit of quick wit in his desperation.

When Ling Qi mentioned the Empress Dowager, everyone's eyes once again turned to the most honorable woman in Great Qin who was sitting beside Ying Zheng.

Although the state of Qin did not vigorously promote "filial piety", it is definitely a country that advocates filial piety. There are many laws in Qin law that are closely related to children supporting their parents. Therefore, Zhao Ji's words can greatly affect Yingzheng today. pro-government.

Even if there is Zong Zhengling who endorses Yingzheng and reluctantly takes charge of the government, it will inevitably be true in the end, and there is a hint of dishonesty.

It's just that no one noticed...

Lao Ai looked at Ling Qi, full of anger.
