Saint Qin Batu

Yan Lu on the side pondered for a moment, but instead said, "Mr. Huhai, isn't he the one who tried his best to persuade the emperor to use punishment instead of death at the court meeting that day?"

Having said that, Fu Nian also had a reflection, and asked in the same way: "If I remember correctly, this young man looks like he is only eight or nine years old."

"It's only at such a young age that you can have such a great reputation among the people, I'm afraid..." Yan Lu half-spoken, but then stopped abruptly.

"I'm afraid, this young master is either extremely intelligent since he was a child, or he has someone to teach him behind his back!" Xun Kuang's deep voice came from inside the door.

Yan Lu smiled wryly and said, "Go in, don't make Master wait any longer."

"You said earlier that the folks had a very good opinion of Mr. Hu Hai's style?" Xun Kuang asked impatiently as soon as he entered the room.

"Exactly!"

"Hmph!" Xun Kuang snorted softly, then said with a sneer, "It's not surprising that there are those people who are eager for success!"

"Master Uncle means, Master Kong Yu?"

"Who else but them!" Xun Kuang was very angry when he mentioned Kong Yu, "Now, even the emperor is very familiar with this name!"

"Uncle, is there such a trouble?" Yan Lu frowned and asked softly.

"Hmph! The emperor naturally doesn't care about the common people." Xun Kuang turned his back, his eyes full of fear, "But now everyone knows about the common people who are making trouble in the city, do you think there is no one behind it? "

"Uncle Master, you mean that Uncle Kong will promote Mr. Hu Hai again?" Fu Nian also realized the seriousness of the problem, and frowned.

"I'm afraid there are still many aristocratic families participating in it!" Xun Kuang sighed again.

Ever since Xun Kuang took the position of Situ, the third Duke, Kong Yu's faction in Ludi has also risen with the tide.With the help of Xun Kuang's momentum, he got close to many courtiers and families.

But today, after hearing about Ying Zheng's academic system from Xun Kuang, he already understood it.His Majesty the emperor has a natural aversion to the aristocratic family.

In addition, now that they have entered the muddy waters of the empire, they naturally need to be careful of the undercurrents above the court all the time.

"Uncle, what are you going to do?" Zhang Liang stared at Xun Kuang and asked.

Perhaps, Kong Yu has recently gotten very close to some people from aristocratic families, but Kong Yu, who does not have any important official positions, does not have much influence after all.

It was Xun Kuang's prestige that counted on him.If Xun Kuang showed support for Ying Zheng's decision, no matter how gaudy Kong Yu and others said, those aristocratic families would definitely ignore them.

However, doing so is also risky.That is, Xun Kuang's personal reputation needs to be sacrificed.Killing, after all, is not such a good reputation.

"It should be interrupted, but it will be disrupted." Xun Kuang said cruelly, "It's time to remind Kong Yu!"

……

In the palace, Ying Zheng also did not underestimate this matter.

Just as Xun Kuang thought, Ying Zheng also doubted whether the families in Qi County who had settled down had secretly united again.

On the table, what Ying Zheng didn't show Xun Kuang was that there was a pile of taller bamboo slips.It is full of advice from the remaining big and small aristocratic families.

All words are almost the same.Among them is Chen Dao who once again served as the prefect of Qi County.

Perhaps Chen Dao himself did not expect that after Hu Hai persuaded him, he secretly sent someone to persuade many aristocratic families in his name.

"Your Majesty, your lords have arrived." A eunuch reported respectfully to Ying Zheng.

"pass!"

Not long after, Feng Quji, Li Si, Feng Jie, Wei Liao, and Gu all stood in the hall. These people can be said to be the most core people in the court.

"You guys go down." Ying Zheng waved his hands and said, obviously he had something important to discuss with Feng Quji and others.

"Here."

After the eunuchs and maids retreated one by one, Ying Zheng said, "Today, I summoned all my lovers to plan a new deal for all parts of the Kanto region."

Ying Zheng got straight to the point, but it made everyone a little confused.

New Deal?The four looked at each other, but Gu Jie saw the surprise in the eyes of the others.Obviously, no one knows.

Yingzheng gave everyone a little time to react, and then continued: "The empire spans thousands of miles, and Xianyang is located in the middle of Guandong. Although it is rich, it is not conducive to the empire's control of Kanto. What's your opinion, gentlemen?"

As soon as Yingzheng's words fell, the unprepared officials fell into deep thought.

"Your Majesty, it's better to develop official roads and post stations. If there is an emergency, you can go directly to Xianyang." Li Si, who had seen the road in the mountains, said first.

"The method is a good method, but the manpower and material resources required will probably be quite a lot." Feng Quji said after thinking for a moment.

"Although there was a rebellion in Cijun this time, and many remnants of the six kingdoms surrendered and rebelled, but thanks to His Majesty's blessing, the defeat is only a matter of time. We can use these rebellious relatives to build roads." Li Si continued.

"There are still fewer people!" Ying Zheng said first before the others could speak.

The total number of rebels is only more than [-]. The relatives go out and the female relatives leave, and the remaining men are no more than [-] at most.Compared with the land of thousands of miles like the empire, it is obviously too small.

Li Si paused for a moment, and after hesitating for a moment, he suggested again: "The common people of the rebellious counties can be recruited to serve as labor."

"In that case, I'm afraid Your Majesty's efforts in the past ten years will be in vain." Feng Jie obviously didn't agree with this point of view, and retorted with a frown.

"Since the rebellion was born in these counties, it is only natural for His Majesty to punish it. Firstly, to show the king's prestige, and secondly, to alert the rest of the counties in the future."

Li Si's words made everyone's eyes light up.

Ying Zheng was also silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes!"

However, just when everyone thought that this plan was feasible, Guowei Weiliao, who has never spoken much, raised another question.

"However, Your Majesty, how many people should be enlisted? If there are fewer people, the repair of the straight road will be extremely slow. If there are more people enlisted, then the hearts of the people in these counties will be completely lost."

Ying Zheng frowned, obviously, he was not aware of this problem either.In the hall, suddenly fell into silence.

The ministers also began to think about whether to recruit labor from other counties in addition to these counties.

Ying Zheng above the main hall was also silent for a long time, but in the end he said something that shocked everyone.

"I intend to use Linzi as the accompanying capital! From now on, Linzi will be directly governed by the empire!"

"Your Majesty, Linzi is still in Kanto, not close to Xianyang!" Feng Jie reminded.

"I will choose one of the two ministers to stay in Linzi. If it is not an urgent matter, I can handle it on my behalf and report later."

As soon as Yingzheng finished speaking, Li Si and Feng Quji's hearts skipped a beat at the same time.

Although the so-called staying behind can be said to be monopolized by one person, but with Ying Zheng's character, how could he not put people around the left behind?

What's more, Guanzhong is now the foundation of the empire.Leaving Guanzhong also means leaving the political center.

Therefore, neither of them wanted this seemingly sweet pastry.
