Ying Zheng remembered that Feng Xiao also mentioned this matter when Yan Le was first imprisoned.
However, he actually wanted Ran Fang to serve as the Xianyang Order, but he sternly refused, and no one mentioned the matter again.
Now that Meng Yi mentioned it again, he felt that it was time to settle down the person, otherwise too many political affairs would pile up, which would be detrimental to Xianyang City.
"I have forgotten about this."
"In this case, you will be responsible for the portrait. You have to dig three feet into the ground to dig out this person!"
Meng Yi immediately bowed and said: "Here."
He had some doubts in his heart. Why has His Majesty been so slow to decide on a candidate for such an important position as the Xianyang Order?
However, he didn't dare to ask, he just stood there waiting for Ying Zheng's instructions.
After a while, Ying Zheng shouted outside the palace: "Zhao Gao!"
This loud voice was heard directly outside the house. The attendant standing at the door immediately opened the door and motioned for Zhao Gao to walk in.
Zhao Gao anxiously stepped into Xianyang Palace, bowed and said: "See your Majesty."
"Instruct Li Si, Feng Quji, Wang Wan, Wang Jian, Wei Liao, Zhang Han and others to enter the palace immediately."
"Here."
After saying that, Zhao Gao turned around and left without stopping.
He had some suspicions in his heart. Every time His Majesty summoned these important ministers to the palace, it was for important events.
So why this time?
Moreover, Feng Quji was also allowed to enter the palace. This was definitely a big deal, and it was a big deal that he couldn't control.
Thinking of this, the panic in Zhao Gao's heart became even greater, which meant that His Majesty no longer trusted him at all and was willing to tell him everything before.
He asked the eunuch to inform the ministers, and he stood at the door of the hall waiting, but he couldn't stop guessing in his heart, what was going on?
In less than half an hour, the ministers all walked towards Zhangtai Palace. A few of them were still talking. It could be seen from their expressions that they were all confused.
Zhao Gao led a group of people into Zhangtai Palace. Everyone stood up and stood in the hall. They were all a little surprised to see Meng Yi still here. Could it be that Meng Yi caused the incident?
Although they were confused, everyone still saluted Ying Zheng first: "See your Majesty."
"Everyone, get up."
Everyone stood up and stood still, wondering what His Majesty was going to do?
Feng Quji, who had been claiming to be ill, felt vaguely uneasy in his heart. He had not participated in political affairs for a long time, which meant that this matter was definitely a big deal.
He looked at Zhao Gao, but he didn't see the answer in his eyes, and there was even some doubts in his eyes, which was even more surprising.
At this moment, Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the high platform, spoke first: "I'm calling you here today. It's about the position of Xianyang Order. What do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the hall looked at each other. It was obvious that everyone had their own little thoughts, but now when Ying Zheng suddenly asked, no one knew what to say.
The most surprised person was Zhao Gao. After Yan Le committed suicide, he had been thinking about this matter. He always felt that it was impossible for one of his own people to serve as the Xianyang Order.
However, for such an important position as the Xianyang Order, His Majesty will always ask his own opinion. When the time comes, it is okay for him to choose a helpless minor official and then take him as his own.
But now that Ying Zheng has put this matter out in the open, and there are so many ministers discussing it together, his plan will definitely come to nothing.
They also have selfish motives, but if they deliberately talk about their own people in front of His Majesty, it will cause His Majesty's displeasure. In this case, they will definitely not say that.
I really can’t believe that His Majesty is so thoughtful!
He raised his head and glanced at Li Si, then at Feng Quji, but saw that both of them had their own thoughts. They looked at each other and then turned their attention to Ying Zheng.
This time Feng Quji was the first to speak. He held his chest and took a step forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have a broken body. Although I want to help your Majesty relieve his worries, my body does not allow it."
"Besides, I have been recovering from illness for many days, and I don't know much about the affairs of the court. Therefore, this matter should be discussed by the ministers. I have no objection."
No one believed that Feng Quji really didn't worry about these things and was just retreating in order to advance. He had already said so. The person he was talking about at that moment definitely had no selfish motives.
Not only can His Majesty take a high look, but he can also push his own people up. This is a really good move.
As expected, Ying Zheng looked at him with a somewhat relieved look.
Ying Zheng glanced at the others and saw Li Si step forward and said in a very polite tone: "Your Majesty, this Xianyang Order is the highest military and political officer of all the cities in the Qin Dynasty, and he can also easily mobilize the military power in Xianyang City. .”
"Therefore, compared with the county magistrates of other counties, this Xianyang order is related to the safety of the entire Xianyang, and its position is of vital importance."
"I believe that for this position of Xianyang Order, one cannot be chosen casually, but must be chosen with great caution."
"The governor of Xianyang, Shi Lian Liangcai, has been in office for many years and is familiar with all aspects of the Xianyang Order. It would be most suitable for him to serve as the Xianyang Order."
Although Lian Liangcai is not a famous person in Xianyang City, everyone is familiar with his name because he has served in the court for many years.
This man was considered a talented person at the beginning, but he had a strong character. He always scorned ministers who wanted him to submit.
Therefore, no one expected that a person who could have made great achievements in the court, but who had been just a minor official in the county for so many years, caught Li Si's eyes this time.
What surprised them most was that Li Si didn't promote any of his own people, which was a bit surprising.
However, Li Si's answer satisfied Ying Zheng very much. What he couldn't accept the most was that their officials protected each other, especially in the selection of officials, and this kind of thing must be eliminated.
The eyes he looked at Li Si became much kinder, and he looked at the others: "Are there any other candidates?"
Wei Liao, who was usually quiet, took an uncharacteristic step forward today, bowed his hands respectfully towards Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, I think that Wei Wei Feng Anfu can take on this responsibility."
"Feng Anfu has been in the government for many years, and it is the most appropriate thing to do to benefit the people."
Weiwei is one of the nine ministers. If this person is transferred to Xianyang Order, he will actually be demoted.
Everyone present knew that Feng Quji, who had just said that he would not participate in major affairs in the DPRK, heard this and stepped forward tremblingly, even coughing a few times.
"Ahem, please report to Your Majesty, I think Feng Anfu is not worthy."
"Master Feng has been in the court for many years. He has been conscientious and law-abiding. It would be unjustifiable to demote him without any reason."
"It is better to let Wei Binwei, the Prime Minister of Xianyang County, take on this responsibility. It is justifiable."
Everyone has their own ideas. It seems that these people have little to do with the DPRK and China, but if you investigate carefully, you will know that there are other people behind these named officials.
Ying Zheng glanced at the officials standing below, and he could clearly see what each of them was thinking.
He also knew all the people just now, and it was indeed suitable for anyone to serve as the Xianyang Order.
Because of this, it was difficult for him to make a choice.
"Wang Qing, who do you think is suitable for Xianyang Order?"
Wang Jian was an old man in the court and a close confidant of Ying Zheng. His words were naturally directed towards Ying Zheng, and everyone's eyes were focused on him for a while.
But Wang Jian saluted Ying Zheng and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I went to Xianyang Prison a few days ago and gave some food to Mr. Ran Fang and Mr. Fusu. I heard Mr. Ran Fang said In a word, I feel that I have benefited a lot."
"The punishment is arbitrary and heavy punishment is used, and the severe illness is treated with strong medicine."
"I think this sentence is most suitable for the governance of Qin."
