As Zhao Hao expected, as soon as the newspaper came out the next day, the Feng family immediately exploded.
A large number of ministers who were attached to the Feng family came to the Feng family with newspapers in hand to complain.
Feng Jie also put down the newspaper, but his eyes were dull.
The list is still the same as yesterday, with no changes at all.
However, there is an additional front page headline next to it.
The story of Feng Gong’s tears in the Prince of Qin’s Mansion
Old Zheng Guo, who usually had the closest relationship with the Feng family, couldn't help but walk up to Feng Jie and said with a strange expression on his face: "Mr. Feng, could it be that you and Qin Wang Hao reached something?"
"You mistook me!!"
Before Old Zheng Guo finished speaking, Feng Jie howled out.
When Feng Quji saw this, he threw the newspaper directly on the desk, looked at Feng Jie with a complicated expression, and thought to himself, is this what you do?
Love, you said you would take care of this matter, are you selling our home? Is this what you said has been clarified?
That guy sent our family's food and property away all at once, and you still shed tears at the Prince of Qin's Mansion? You, Mr. Feng, are so righteous!
Seeing the Feng family father and son, one with a face full of grief and anger, the other with a livid face, the ministers who originally came to complain now knew better.
This must have been tricked by Qin Wanghao.
So, all the ministers tacitly picked up the newspapers and covered their faces.
Old Zheng Guo also returned to his position with a smile.
After a long while, Feng Jiecai said angrily: "Shu Zi is going too far! I'm going to settle the score with him right now!"
"Okay! Just stop causing trouble!"
When Feng Quji saw Feng Jie just leaving, he said angrily, then looked around at the ministers, waved his hands and said, "You can go back if you have nothing to do, I have my own arrangements!"
"this"
The ministers looked at each other, knowing that it would be embarrassing to stay here, so they all stood up and said goodbye to the Feng family and his son.
When only the Feng family and his son were left in the hall, Feng Quji sat back in his seat with a depressed look on his face and said in a deep voice, "Just now, Li Si sent someone to inform me, saying that he had informed the Ming Crown Prince that he wanted to promote patriotism and serve the counties. The county counter-insurgency donated food and property. He also said that he would make a patriotic list and advocate that the civil and military forces of Manchuria and North Korea donate together!"
"That's unreasonable!"
Feng Jie was angry: "Why didn't he donate it himself?"
"Ah!"
Feng Quji snorted and sneered: "Not only did he donate, he also donated a lot. Even the new doctor, Zhao Gao, donated more than half of his family property!"
"Ah? This"
Feng Jie was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Feng Quji glanced at him and sighed: "Actually, I know very well about the whole thing. Li Si supports King Qin's reward based on merit. However, he still allows me to be the bad guy, which shows that he has a bigger problem." The plot!"
"Since father knows everything, why do he still follow Li Si's wishes?" Feng Jie asked with some confusion.
"Qin Wanghao is always good at everything he does. And if it is too easy to obtain something, it is difficult to detect his danger."
Feng Quji said seriously: "I originally planned to follow the example of the old Prime Minister Wang Wan and retreat bravely, but with your inexplicable demotion, I discovered an unusual meaning. Da Qin may lose control in the hands of Li Si. Therefore, I plan to stay. , stabilize the situation."
"Will Great Qin lose control in Li Si's hands?"
Feng Jie said in surprise, "How is this possible?"
"Haven't you seen any clues about the Meng brothers?"
Feng Quji asked Feng Jie expressionlessly.
"."
Feng Jie was speechless.
But I heard Feng Quji talk eloquently again:
"After the late emperor passed away and the Meng brothers left the government, Li Si no longer had anyone who could run the government alongside him;
Although Yao Jia has some talents, he has been so busy every day since he took up the post of Zhengtingwei that he has no time to consult with Li Si;
I am the left prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, but I undertake various engineering projects, and rarely interfere in major affairs. In addition, I am not the same person as Li Si, so it is impossible for him to discuss major affairs with me;
People like Zhao Gao, Hu Wujing, Zheng Guo, and Ying Teng are even less likely to have a tacit understanding of working with him;
As for Yang Duanhe, Zhang Han, Ma Xing and others, they were all generals. It was okay for them to act according to orders, but it was purely embarrassing for them to plan national affairs. "
"this"
Feng Jie was not an ordinary person. When he heard what Feng Quji said, he immediately reacted and frowned: "If you say that, Li Si has no reason to support King Hao of Qin to patrol the world. He should let the prince patrol the world so that he can During the hunting tour, look for talented officials to become the arms of his great government!"
"Not bad! Under normal circumstances, this is indeed the case."
Feng Quji nodded with satisfaction, and then changed the topic: "However, Qin Wanghao also has his own ideas, and he needs to occupy a dominant position in the political affairs."
"Otherwise, after the crown prince ascends the throne, he may deprive Qin Wanghao of everything that the late emperor gave him, as he said in the main hall of Ganquan Palace."
"So, this farce is actually a game between Qin Wanghao and the prince?" Feng Jie narrowed his eyes and said, "Are we innocently involved?"
Feng Quji shook his head and said: "No matter what, we, the Feng family, have always been loyal ministers of the late emperor and cannot help any of them. Moreover, even if we want to, we can't stop them!"
"What does father mean?"
"Jiujiao Lao Qin, we will fight against the national calamity together!"
Feng Jie didn't expect that his father would say such an old Qin man's oath, and he couldn't help but be slightly startled, but he quickly realized it and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"It's my father who has foresight!"
On the other side, Li Si's mansion.
As soon as Li Si came back from the palace, several carriages stopped outside the palace gate.
Butler Li De greeted him immediately and said enthusiastically, "The Prime Minister is back? All the ministers are waiting for you in the hall!"
Li Si said "Hmm", as if he was not surprised at all that someone came to see him, and went straight to the living room.
At this time, the chairs placed on both sides of the hall were full of people.
There are eight people in total, two of them are members of the Ying Qin clan, and these people are all veterans of the empire.
As soon as they saw Li Si, they all stood up and saluted.
Li Si smiled slightly, raised his hand and said, "I've kept you waiting for a long time. The prince came back a little late to discuss state affairs with an old minister."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Everyone responded quickly.
Li Si watched as he sat down, looked around the crowd, and pretended not to know, "Why did you come to find me today?"
"this"
Everyone looked at each other and focused their attention on Ying Feng.
He was Hu Hai's confidant who succeeded Feng Jie as censor.
But Ying Feng was the first to speak: "Prime Minister Li, Qin Wanghao relied on the late emperor's favor for him and was already unscrupulous. Now that he has military power, he is even more unruly. If things continue like this, the court will be in a foul atmosphere. He is really not a citizen of the people." Blessed!"
"That's right! It's unreasonable for Qin Wanghao to allow his subordinates to spread rumors about us! At our age, personal honor and disgrace are nothing, but the family is clean and there is no room for loss!"
"Yes, if things continue like this, how should the family behind us deal with it? The family that was originally a good family has now become a rat on the street!"
"Prime Minister, please seek justice for us!"
"Please, Prime Minister, seek justice for us——!"
As Ying Feng finished speaking, everyone present expressed their dissatisfaction.
But Li Si didn't respond to them, he just kept stroking his beard.
At this moment, Ma Xing, who had been silent, suddenly said:
"It is not difficult to see from today's newspapers that Feng Gong shed tears in the Qin Prince's Mansion. What kind of cooperation should the Feng family and Qin Wang Hao have reached? Otherwise, it would be impossible to donate so much property, and how should we respond?"
Hearing this, all the ministers looked at each other.
Ying Teng said solemnly: "Everyone, you have seen the power of newspapers."
"This thing can not only hurt the enemy, but also hurt yourself. When the late emperor was still alive, we saw the ability of newspapers to dispel rumors;
Today, we have seen again the ability of newspapers to spread rumors. If you control the newspaper, you control the throat of the world. How can such power be controlled by Qin Wanghao alone? "
"Yes! If King Hao of Qin is allowed to continue to act recklessly, the world will be in chaos! What's more, in a few months, the prince will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. We must not let the second emperor suffer unwarranted infamy!"
Ying Feng echoed: "So, we are here today to ask the Prime Minister to strictly control newspapers all over the world, especially Xianyang Newspaper. Without the review of the Prime Minister's Office, no newspaper is allowed to print and distribute newspapers or sell newspapers without permission!"
"But, the world's affairs are divided into categories, and there are many types of newspapers. How can the Prime Minister's Office control the world's newspapers?" Hu Wujing asked doubtfully.
Ma Xing sneered and said: "Our Great Qin can manage millions of troops, but why can't we manage a few newspapers?"
"this"
Hu Wujing was speechless and speechless for a moment.
The rest of the people looked at each other, conveying information with their eyes, and then nodded at the same time.
One person muttered: "Although this statement is reasonable! But Qin Wanghao holds military power, so he may not agree with us taking charge of all newspapers."
Li Si smiled slightly: "The military power was given to Qin Wanghao by the late emperor, and it was also given to Qin Wanghao by Qin Zheng. Even if the late emperor is gone, Qin Zheng will still be there, unless Qin Wanghao wants to disrupt the country!"
"this"
Hearing this, everyone started whispering to each other.
Li Si looked at everyone with a smile.
This is the general trend. Although he supports Zhao Hao to reward him for his merits, he does not say that he cannot get benefits from Zhao Hao.
This newspaper is indeed a good thing. He had not discovered the beauty of the newspaper before. Now after Zhao Hao's troubles, he suddenly found that the newspaper was in line with his New Deal thoughts.
"In this case, even if we lose some family property, it is not without benefits. It is just a damaged reputation and the prestige of the court. How can we restore it?"
Hu Wujing said thoughtfully again.
Ying De glanced at him, frowned and said, "In my opinion, it would be better to send King Qin Hao out of Xianyang."
Li Si smiled and nodded: "That's good! That's good!"
Everyone whispered to each other again, and then they all said in unison: "We are willing to work with Prime Minister Li, put the overall situation first, and support Qin Wang Hao in his patrol of the world!"
Li Si smiled, stood up and saluted: "Everyone here is the pillar of the country and has a long-term vision. This is very good!"
After finishing speaking, he said righteously: "I will go to Prime Minister Feng to discuss with him and ask him to support Qin Wanghao and reward him for his merits."
"Father! Father! Something big happened!"
As soon as Li Si finished speaking, Li Zhan rushed in from outside the door, holding the latest newspaper in his hand.
Everyone looked at Li Zhan, and Li Si's face suddenly became a little uneasy. He raised his hand and gave Li Zhan a big mouth, and said angrily, "You bastard! What a shame! My father is discussing matters with all the ministers." not see!?"
Li Zhan covered his flushed cheeks and muttered: "My child is in trouble!"
As he spoke, he weakly handed the latest newspaper to Li Si: "Father, this is the second newspaper sold today! Take a look."
"Go aside and stand!"
Li Si snatched the newspaper from Li Zhan and pushed Li Zhan aside.
He became angry when he saw this hopeless young son.
How wonderful it would be if the eldest son Li You was by his side!
Li Si thought depressingly, picked up the newspaper, and read it carefully. The rest of the people stood up one after another and stretched their necks to check.
Not long after looking at it, Li Si's expression changed.
He put down the newspaper in his hand and said in a deep voice: "South China Sea General Han Xin, armed with 100,000 South China Sea Navy troops, returned to the DPRK and has now reached Wuguan!"
"What!?"
Everyone was stunned for a while.
Suddenly someone slapped his thigh: "Oh! King Hao of Qin is going to seize power!"
"Everyone! Sorry, I have something else to do. I have to go home first!"
"Prime Minister Li, I have something to do, so I'll leave first!"
"Um, my wife has given birth to a baby. Say goodbye."
Soon, only Li Si and Li Zhan were left in the hall that was already full.
Li Si was angry and anxious, and shouted: "Li De, the Prime Minister is going to the palace! Prepare the car immediately!"
"promise!"
Li De made a promise outside the door and was about to leave quickly when he heard Li Si give another instruction:
"The home must be closely guarded and outsiders must not be allowed to break in! If they lose a hair, they will be severely punished!"
After saying that, he crumpled the newspaper in his hand into a ball and said angrily: "Zhao Hao! I don't believe you dare to rebel!!"
"Father, the young master will not rebel. How about supporting the young master? He is no worse than that Hu Hai."
Li Zhan hugged Li Si, who was about to rush out of the hall, and cried hoarsely.
Li Si was already very angry, but now that he heard Li Zhan's words, he became even more angry. He raised his hands and punched and kicked him.
"Father! Don't hit me! Don't hit me."
"Useless thing! Why did I give birth to a waste like you! Turn your elbows outward! Look how I beat you to death!!"
"Ahhhh——"
Li Zhan cried so hard that he couldn't bear to die.
In a daze, he remembered the time when his father went to Cai in Chu State.
At that time, my father was still a minor official in Chu State guarding the granary. Every day in his spare time, he would take his brother and the big yellow dog to the east gate to chase hares.
Then one day, his father suddenly came back and told his mother that he was resigning and going to Qin. His mother tried her best to persuade him to stay, but he still abandoned his mother and his brothers.
after that.
My mother died in depression, and my father sent another letter saying that he had been favored by the King of Qin in Qin and wanted to take his brother to Qin.
But when he came to Qin, his father was very busy every day. He no longer took his brothers and the family's big yellow dog to chase hares.
Yes, my father has changed. He is no longer the same as he was before.
Hey, I really want to go back to Chu State and lead the big yellow dog at home with my father to chase hares!
Li Zhan lay on the ground, his tears drying up unconsciously.
Please double the monthly pass! (End of chapter)
