The next day, in the court hall, many officials had visibly tired and worried faces.
They were all the remaining family officials who stayed up all night after receiving the news that the Feng family had been placed under 'house arrest'.
They were lucky enough to avoid the scythe in the library last time, but this time... they felt even more uneasy!
In other words, this time they had no choice but to hide.
After all, the library incident was a specific incident. If they weren't involved, there was nothing anyone could do about it.
But this time, nothing happened, the Feng family was captured by Liu Bai!
This is a trend of strife in the court.
With this uneasy feeling, many eyes stayed on Liu Bai.
Liu Bai just said nothing and sat quietly in his seat, waiting for the court meeting to begin.
Compared with Liu Bai's big move, not many people care about the "military strategy issues" of the two young masters Fusu Yingche.
Yang Ye glanced at Liu Bai and didn't say much, just nodded slightly.
He also knew about the survival of Lao Feng and Feng Jie, and he accepted Liu Bai's love.
"His Majesty the First Emperor has arrived!"
As a sharp trumpet sounded, His Majesty the First Emperor walked out from behind the screen.
He still walks with the solemn and majestic aura of trampling on all directions in the Nine Provinces.
"I will pay my respects to your Majesty. May your Majesty live forever!"
"I will pay my respects to your Majesty. May your Majesty live forever!"
"I will pay my respects to your Majesty. May your Majesty live forever!"
"...."
Amid the cries of the ministers, His Majesty the First Emperor sat on the high platform, his eyes steady and sharp.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Bai handed over a letter of "resigning from office" and said: "Your Majesty, I visited Feng Quji yesterday. He is seriously ill and bedridden."
"I'm so grateful to know that His Majesty sent his ministers to visit."
"His son Feng Jie was taking care of him at the sick bed. His clothes were getting wider and wider without regret, and his face was haggard."
"When I left the Feng Mansion, Feng Jie submitted a 'Resignation Memorandum'. I couldn't bear to rob him of my love, so I reluctantly submitted it in this court today. I wish to be remembered as a villain in history, but also to fulfill the filial piety of my colleagues!"
Liu Bai had a look of grief on his face, he stumbled over his words, and even squeezed out a few tears.
As for the literary talent of the words, it is even more remarkable.
The belt is getting wider and wider without regret, and one sentence has established Feng Jie's image as a filial son.
With such filial piety, the sentence "cannot bear to take away love" is also extremely appropriate!
But....
All the civil and military officials had their mouths twitching!
Not to mention what happened to Feng Quji's illness, just your words "I would like to go down in history as a villain" made them feel a little disgusted!
Just kidding, Feng Jie resigned. If Liu Bai doesn't laugh out loud in Feng Mansion, you Liu Bai will be considered kind.
And what Liu Bai said made the remaining officials from the aristocratic families in the court look sad.
Feng Jie's resignation means that the family has been defeated and there is no room for recovery. If they stay in the court anymore, they will be just small fish and shrimps that are 'conveniently dealt with'.
On the high platform, His Majesty the First Emperor heard Liu Bai's performance. He first asked Dunruo to present the letter "Resigning from Office" which he had read a long time ago, and then spread it out on the desk to look at it carefully.
It takes much longer to read than ordinary memorials.
"Feng Jie is a great filial piety, and I can't bear to steal my love."
"Father and son should be filial, and others should also respect them!"
"Yang Ye."
Hearing His Majesty the First Emperor calling him, Yang Ye quickly stepped out of the queue: "I'm here."
"Building the memorial arch will show Feng Jie's filial piety to the world. Feng Quji will enjoy eight hundred shi of food and salary, and Feng Jie will enjoy the food and salary of the three princes when they retire."
His Majesty the First Emperor's favor towards the Feng family and his son shocked all civil and military officials!
Enjoying food and salary is nothing. At most, it can be regarded as following Qin's laws and regulations.
But... repair the archway,
The significance of this matter is far-reaching.
Building an archway to show "filial piety" also gave the name to the Feng family, clearly warning everyone that the Feng family's affairs ended here.
Whoever wants to make trouble for the Feng family is working against His Majesty!
Of course, this warning is mainly aimed at a particularly shameless guy!
Liu Bai had a smile on his face, but he was extremely helpless in his heart.
The emperor is the most ruthless. Do you seem to be such a blind person? Why did your Majesty warn yourself like this?
"Your Majesty, the imperial censor is in charge of hearing news and reports, supervising all officials, photographing the laws of Qin and executing documents. These are important positions in the court and cannot be left vacant."
At this moment, Li Si stood up and spoke a sentence that made the entire court breathless.
Above the court, every official position is a hole. If no one retires, there will be no one to fill it.
The imperial censor is undoubtedly a trap for the core of power!
All fights are for profit.
Who doesn’t want this kind of benefit that can reach heaven?
However....
Liu Bai sat quietly, just glancing slightly.
This kind of glance made those officials who were originally interested in competing suddenly feel cold.
Doctor Censor....
This was taken down by Liu Bai, Prime Minister Zuo. If they really did something, wouldn't they be directly in a hostile position?
By opposing Liu Bai, the fate of the Feng family and his son was right in front of them.
His Majesty the First Emperor's eyes glanced slightly, but did not stay on Liu Bai for a moment.
"To inform my father, one of my sons recommended me for the post of imperial censor!"
At this moment, under the surprised gazes of everyone, Ying Che stood up slowly, smiled and said:
"Three Rivers and One Pillar, Zhao Huaizhen!"
As the name was announced, the faces in the court had different expressions!
Some people think that this Young Master Che is so ignorant that he has allowed the family to collapse. Why did he recommend someone from the Zhao family? You know, many people from the Zhao family died in Xianyang.
There are also those who feel that given Mr. Toru's current qualifications, he should not speak in such an important official position.
There are even some who are surprised and suspicious, thinking that Ying Che is openly planting his cronies.
On the contrary, Li Si looked at Ying Che with a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.
In terms of power, there are continuous precedents for those with outstanding local political achievements to enter Xianyang and be promoted to important ministers.
From the court's perspective, Liu Bai is now basically in power, and if Liu Bai promotes another person, it will be "unbalanced".
In terms of talent selection, Sanchuan Yizhu is enough to show that Zhao Huaizhen is really talented. Coupled with the achievements of the Dingba Shu rebels in Sanchuan and the memorial of "asking to be sent to Xianyang", it can be seen that this person not only has iron-blooded skills, but also has self-awareness.
The last point may be a small comfort to the family. The stick is a little big and the dates are a little small, but it doesn't matter.
"Fusu, what do you think of Chunyu Yue?"
His Majesty the First Emperor did not agree directly, but asked Fusu.
After asking this question, the Confucian officials who were still watching the show suddenly became excited.
Chunyu Yue felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
Reaching the sky in one step...Is it finally my turn?
And Liu Bai, who was sitting quietly and not having the slightest interest in the selection of the imperial censor, almost jumped up!
I worked so hard to kill the Feng family and let the Confucian family pick peaches?
