Chapter 438: Ying Zheng’s Judgment
Fu Zikang gritted his teeth looking at Li Si's expression of hatred for steel, but he was able to pretend this time.
Ying Zheng said at this time: "I don't want to listen to nonsense. Li Si directly said why Shang Jun's reforms are no longer suitable for Da Qin."
"No." Li Si bowed and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Lord Shang's reforms have indeed made Great Qin's national power stronger.
Especially military power, Da Qin's army can sweep everything.
However, the improvement of military power has restricted the development of talents in Great Qin, and there are very few talented people in the world.
Let’s talk about how many Qin people there are in the DPRK? How many people are there in the Six Kingdoms? Comparing the two, we can clearly develop that there are very few people in Qin.
Why people in Qin can still serve as officials now is because of the hereditary system. They all find a talent from their own clan and let him continue to serve the court.
If this family has no talents, wouldn't it mean that Da Qin has no talents?
Although Your Majesty has unified the six kingdoms, over time, the people who manage the country will no longer be people from Qin, but people from the six kingdoms.
Only the emperor is from Qin and is of His Majesty’s blood. "
"Alarmist, alarmist." Fu Zikang shouted excitedly, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li is alarmist, alarmist. How can it be possible that Da Qin has no talents? Da Qin is full of talents."
Ying Zheng looked at Fu Zikang who was looking crazy and said calmly: "Are you sure that Da Qin is full of talents?"
"Sure, Wei Chen is very sure." Fu Zikang responded.
"What about you?" Ying Zheng looked at the other six people.
Zong Zheng, the servant and the other six people all lowered their heads and said nothing. They had realized from Li Si's mouth that things were indeed what he said.
At least half of the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty were from other countries. The Qin officials in the court all relied on the merits of the ancestors of the major families instead of climbing up on their own.
No one else is aware of the seriousness of the problem yet. Once they are aware of it, I am afraid that the Nine Ministers System will be abolished directly without any argument.
And the biggest trump card of the Six-Ministry System should also be here. As long as everyone knows that the real Qin people will lose their right to speak in the court, will the world still belong to the Qin Dynasty?
Therefore, it is basically a certainty that the Six-Ministry System will replace the Nine-Ministry System.
"Your Majesty," the servant said, "We think what Li Xiang said is very reasonable. Da Qin now has an army but no talents.
Da Qin needs more talents like Prime Minister Li and Imperial Master, not talents like us who will only inherit the achievements of our ancestors. "
"I agree with your Majesty's words." Others said at the same time.
"You...you..." Fu Zikang and others looked at their colleagues angrily.
This is their colleague who advances and retreats together.
Li Si said: "Master Fu, haven't you realized your mistake yet?"
"I'm right." Fu Zikang waved his hand at Li Si, then knelt in front of Ying Zheng,
Crying: "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me."
"I'll make the decision for you." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice, "Someone, pull Fu Zikang down and put him in jail."
"What?" Fu Zikang was shocked.
At the same time, Li Si and other people from Jiuqing were also shocked.
Two Black Dragon Guards walked into the hall and dragged Fu Zikang down while everyone was stunned.
Fu Zikang came to his senses and struggled: "It's unfair, Your Majesty. I'm a humble minister. It's unfair."
"Pull it down." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
The two Black Dragon Guards immediately dragged Fu Zikang out of the hall with all their strength.
Ying Zheng spoke again: "Fu Zikang has taken all the responsibilities for you. If you want to save him, you can only win the six-part system in the argument of tomorrow."
"Your Majesty, what if we lose?" Zong Zheng asked.
"Then he has no choice but to die." Ying Zheng said solemnly.
Zong Zheng and others lowered their heads.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and said: "As Prime Minister Zuo, you have been kicked out by your subordinate officials. I think you are getting better and better as you live, so you should resign as Prime Minister Zuo."
Li Si was shocked, but he didn't say anything to refute. He knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Weichen will resign as Prime Minister Zuo now."
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "You can stay in the cabinet for now. We will discuss the specific matters after the Six Ministries have won."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Si responded.
Zong Zheng and others looked at each other in shock. They did not expect that the First Emperor would be so angry and domineering that he even dismissed Li Si from his position as prime minister.
One of them was captured by the First Emperor. In comparison, it seemed that they had taken advantage, and His Majesty's heart still favored them.
In this way, they were wrong. They came to beat Li Si's people. To put it more harshly, this was a crime of disrespect. If the First Emperor held on to them and insisted on charging them with treason, that would be fine.
"You guys should go back and prepare for the argument." Ying Zheng said.
"No." Everyone responded.
…
After Feng Jie returned to the house, Feng Quji immediately stepped forward and said, "How is it? How did your Majesty deal with them?"
"Father, Li Si was dismissed from the post of left prime minister by Your Majesty. Fu Zikang was arrested by Your Majesty." Feng Jie replied.
"Your Majesty is so calculating that he took advantage of this opportunity to directly dismiss Li Si, and even arrested one of the Nine Ministers, putting the other officials of the Nine Ministers in danger." Feng Quji said.
"Father," Feng Jie said, "His Majesty also said that as long as the Jiuqing official wins this argumentation meeting, then His Majesty will release Fu Zikang.
If the Six-Party System wins, Li Si should be reinstated. "
Feng Quji smiled and said: "It's impossible, not only Li Si, but also my position as Right Chancellor will be removed by His Majesty looking for excuses.
Da Qin will not only abolish the Jiuqing system, but also abolish the Prime Minister system, and the Three Gong system will also be completely changed. "
"Father, if that's the case, why don't you just resign from the post of Right Chancellor." Feng Jie said.
"No." Feng Quji said, "In this case, I am not telling His Majesty that I know what he means. It is not a good thing to have insight into the emperor's heart."
"Then father doesn't have to wait forever?" Feng Jie asked.
"That's right." Feng Quji said, "I just went to see the head of the Meng family, and he told me to let Jiu Qing win.
I wanted to go to Li Si's house to find you and ask you not to get involved in this matter. Unexpectedly, it was too late. You have already left. "
"Then I've already participated. I don't know if it will disrupt father's plan."
Feng Quji shook his head and said, "It's okay, I have other plans. The heads of the Meng, Bai, and Gan families just met and they had a quarrel, but the head of the Meng family told me that they were acting.
Huh, no matter whether they are arguing or acting, I can only listen to a third of what they say.
However, one thing is true, he does not want Jiuqing to lose. "
"In that case, is father planning to help Jiu Qing make it?" Feng Jie asked.
Some people died, but not completely...
