Chapter 329 Conspiracy against the Emperor
It can be said that Ying Gao's thunder attack was completely intentional. At this time, basically all the people who should have jumped out had jumped out, and they just happened to catch them all across the country.
In less than two months, starting from Feng Jie, all counties and counties reported their results to Xianyang City. Every time, the indispensable project in the court was Xiao He, the left prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, who had killed many people in each county and county who had taken advantage of the new policy to exploit loopholes.
Seeing this, there were almost few officials below who could be happy. Ying Gao had never moved in Hangu Pass, but not moving did not mean there was no problem. There were many families of people who were standing in the Qin Dynasty. Many of them must have taken advantage of the loopholes.
Ying Gao and Xiao He both believed that if the first knife was chosen around Xianyang City, there would be no need to say anything else, the full amount of officials in the Qin Dynasty would have been implicated by at least half of these things.
Today, Daqin is in a mess. Many jobs have to be done, and many positions have to be taken temporarily. Therefore, although Ying Gao wanted to do such a thing very much, he still held back. He thought to himself that you have been standing in the court of Daqin for a long time. I will give you a chance.
At this time, the rest of the Qin Dynasty had been basically cleaned up, and the shock had been done almost. Ying Gao believed that those Qin officials standing in the court, who were smarter or those who truly supported Ying Gao's new policies, would have wiped their butts cleaned.
If you don’t wipe your butt clean at this time, it’s useless to keep it. Either you have low IQ or low EQ, or you’re unfaithful.
So after Chen Ying, who was almost the farthest away from Jiangdong, sent back the situation he dealt with, Ying Gao had already sent Xiao He and the Zhu family to start an investigation into the internal history. Anyone who dared to teach in the internal history world, one of them must be innocent, and the things that taught must be normal. Anyone with problems needs no need to say anything, and they must be punished.
Another thing is that once someone finds that he dares to use the conversion of business to harm the people in order to make money, he must also be punished.
Originally, in Ying Gao's opinion, he had been beating the side drum in the court for so long, and the surrounding area of Xianyang City must be clean, but I didn't know this, and I was shocked when I checked it. It turned out that many people were still thinking about playing under the lights under Ying Gao's nose.
Just say that this is a very important industry related to the national economy and people's livelihood of the Great Qin Dynasty, salt.
According to Xiao He's investigation, the salt prices in Xianyang City and surrounding counties were different from other commodities. After Ying Gao released the business book that could be converted freely, it soared several times. Even the people living around Xianyang were all old Qin people, not as poor as those Guizhou leaders outside the pass, and they were actually complaining. However, their impression was still the strict Qin laws of the First Emperor, so they almost chose to be angry but not speak out for such things.
As a result, after many investigations, Xiao He found out that this was a family with a high title in the Qin Dynasty. Moreover, there were as many as two people in this family who were censors in the court of Xianyang Palace. They took advantage of this moment to monopolize the salt that had been very laborious to transport to the pass, and then increased the volume bit by bit, controlled the price, and made money by their family.
When Ying Gao heard this, he thought to himself, and was worried that there was no chicken to kill first for the monkeys to see. So in the Qin Dynasty the next day, the person who controlled the salt price in the family was directly ordered to be killed. The two censors from that sect were also sent by Ying Gao to Jiangdong to build a warship because they knew it but did not report it.
A nobleman was finished with Ying Gao's words, and now many people were finally panicked. They went back to rectify their families after the court on this day, otherwise they would understand in their hearts that it would be different who would be the one who would be deposed in the court next time.
After this matter was completed, Ying Gao felt quite comfortable. He thought that being an emperor was good. Although he was a little tired, if he really did something against you, he really didn't have to consider other people's feelings. He would be done with him. As long as you made it well and well-founded, no one dared to say anything.
But what Ying Gao could not have imagined was that the officials of the Qin Dynasty were not just a good meal. After hundreds of years of inheritance, no matter which country it was in, the nobles should be privileged. Is it still a matter of exploiting ordinary Guizhou leaders? If you, Ying Gao, it will not work. Although almost no one dared to raise written objections because of Ying Gao's temper at that time, it was different behind the scenes.
Many people fantasized about using some other methods to get Ying Gao's attention to a little bit from this matter.
But there is a difficulty here, that is, Ying Gao's confidant, and it is obvious that people like Xiao He, Zhu family, Han Xin, Cao Shen and Chen Ying who had no relationship with the Qin nobles before. Compared with you, the nobles of the Qin, they have no interest. So after trying several times, they gave up starting from these Ying Gao's confidants and focused on another person.
That night, Xianyang City was still the same as usual. It was already curfew time. Teams of Qin soldiers patrolled the streets with long weapons.
However, outside the door of a mansion not far from Xianyang Palace, there were two or three troikas parked. It was obvious that there were guests who had not left at this time, and the patrol soldiers almost ignored the carriages in this place and the coachman waiting in the carriages.
Because they knew that this mansion was the residence of Feng Quji, the right prime minister of the current Great Qin Dynasty and the grandfather of the only wife of the Great Qin Dynasty. There were no one else who could enter and discuss matters in the Xianyang Palace.
Indeed, at this time, there were three people sitting in Feng Quji's study. All of them had a considerable status in the Qin Dynasty's court, and they were all among the Nine Ministers. However, they represented not only the three of them, because Feng Quji would not easily meet the officials under the Nine Ministers.
Feng Quji, who was over 70 years old, was no longer as good as before, at this time, he was obviously a little yawning. At this time of day, he had already hugged his little wife who had just married less than a year and went to bed. Although he could hardly do anything at this age, at least he felt comfortable holding her. Today, he could only force himself to be energetic and shook his head repeatedly when he looked at the three bitter-faced guys in front of him.
"The Right Prime Minister will help me mediate this matter well... If you continue to investigate according to the actions of the Lord, how many people in my Qin court will be spared from this disaster? The Right Prime Minister is also my Qin nobleman, how can you watch the Lord do this? Then the nobles do not look like nobles, but will be threatened by a group of Guizhou leaders. What should I do?"
The person who spoke was the current counselor of the Qin Dynasty. If Ying Gao was present, he would probably be amused by what the counselor said.
In fact, there is no designated position for the doctor, and the advisor can be seen based on the name that his value of existence is for the emperor to give advice. Now, this guy's bear style will definitely not give any useful advice to Ying Gao.
"The new policy of the lord is determined and implemented. Except for the left prime minister Xiao He who was specifically implemented, even the Taiwei and I don't know. If I go to persuade you at this time, I am afraid that I will be in my later years, so I will be in my hands..."
Obviously, Feng Quji is not stupid about such a thing, so he doesn't want to be the first to be the first. At this age, his son was released by Ying Gao to Yingchuan and Sanchuan, and he was almost the most powerful among the county magistrates. Feng Qing is the only wife in the harem of the Qin Dynasty today. Of course, he can't tell those things Ying Gao was unhappy to listen to.
At this time, another man looked at the previous counselor and quickly spoke: "The right prime minister does not need to go directly to the Lord to suggest this matter. In our opinion, the Lord is now in a strong and happy life in the palace. However, he devotes all his energy to this new policy and changing Qin laws. It is really against the harmony. The reason is probably..."
Speaking of this, the man seemed to have a little taboo. He looked at Feng Quji and then looked at the other two people. Seeing that Feng Quji had no expression, he continued to say it tremblely. Obviously, this sentence might not be what Feng Quji was willing to listen to.
"I'm afraid that because the harem of Xianyang Palace is empty, I think how diligent the late emperor was back then, there were still dozens of wives, thirty or forty children in the harem. But the king is not young this year, but he still has only one wife and has no children. This is not a good thing for the country of Qin, so... I think the biggest problem with the Qin Dynasty is that there is no woman in the harem of the king. I also know that when the right prime minister said this, the right prime minister may not be happy, but for the sake of the country of Qin, the three of us can only come bravely, tell the right prime minister of this idea, and talk about other things."
Although Feng Quji is old, what are these three people here for? He is very clear in his heart. And as soon as they stick out their butts, he knows whether they want to shit or fart.
Although this can be considered high-sounding, Feng Quji knew that they did this just to use women to distract Ying Gao from his attention and prevent him from focusing on the new policy.
But how could Feng Quji not know what kind of person Ying Gao is? After hearing what these people meant, he only had a little smile on his face, but he did not express any comments.
"What does this matter...how does the right prime minister feel? After all, the only wife of the king at this time was from Feng."
Seeing that Feng Quji did not speak, they quickly asked carefully, Feng Qing was Feng Quji's granddaughter, and he was the only wife of others. You insisted on letting Ying Gao get a little more woman into the palace. Normally, Feng Quji would not be happy, so they wanted to pass Feng Quji first, otherwise just by relying on them, they would be like a dough figure in the court.
"I have no objection to this matter. If the emperor can buy several young masters as soon as possible, it would be a blessing for me to become a great Qin!"
Feng Quji beat him haha, obviously he had no objection.
"Since the right prime minister does not object to this matter, we can do it, and it should not be too late. In order not to make it difficult for the right prime minister, we have already made a plan before coming. If the right prime minister opposes, we will give up. Now that the right prime minister does not object, then..."
After half an hour, several talents led by the Qin Jianyi Doctor appeared again outside Feng Quji's mansion and left in a carriage.
Obviously, when they looked at their expressions, they knew that today's things were going well. They originally thought that Feng Quji would be very opposed to this matter because of Feng Qing's relationship, but now, they completely dispelled their concerns and were very much looking forward to the next court.
Almost no one noticed this incident that happened in Xianyang City, which had been curfewed, because outside Feng Quji's mansion, there were always many people visiting, and it was not the first time these three people have come here, so even if they were found out, they would never have thought that this was the case.
The next day, Ying Gao caught a bad guy like the previous few times and sent him to Nanyue to assist Fusu.
In addition, there are regular matters in the Qin Dynasty. After the regular matters were over, Ying Gao asked as usual to see if there was still something unfinished.
But this time, I didn't get the quietness as before. When Ying Gao's butt was about to be lifted up, suddenly a person came out of the crowd.
Ying Gao looked at it and didn't seem to have spoken in the court. He thought about it carefully and finally got the job. He thought to himself that this was not a guild doctor. When he discussed the Qin system with Xiao He two days ago, he thought that this position was indeed a useful position, but he had to put someone who could speak and dared to speak there. For example, this guild doctor now, except for the salary of the guild doctor, basically did not do any guild doctor's work. He was preparing to find an opportunity to take him down, but he didn't expect that today, the iron tree was blooming.
Ying Gao still had some expectations in his heart when he came out of this person. Although he didn't know much about this person, it was at the moment when the new policy was implemented. What if he really had any constructive opinions?
Chapter completed!
