Fusu remained calm, but his eyes were lowered.
"I am not my father. He is the emperor of the ages. He does not tolerate any provocation and is extremely coercive. I can tolerate your little thoughts of self-preservation, just like the old general Wang Jian. Didn't my father also tolerate it?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Si's heart suddenly relaxed halfway!
Who is Wang Jian? He was the biggest contributor to the destruction of Chu. When he used all the troops of the Qin State to fight, the veteran Wang Jian deliberately asked for money, food and land in order not to arouse the suspicion of the First Emperor. He looked like a corrupt official.
Such self-destruction is just for preservation.
Fusu used this as a metaphor and revealed the meaning: Li Si, I know your little thoughts, as long as you are loyal.
Li Si burst into tears with gratitude, knelt down and said tremblingly: "Young Master, I am aware of my sin..."
"What's the crime? Get up. Although I can't compare to my father, I can still tolerate a cautious minister. As for temptation, I won't do it again."
Fusu stood up. The black and gold robe on his body was extremely noble under the sun, and he was domineering and restrained.
"I will obey your orders!"
Li Si was determined and kowtowed heavily from then on.
Time gradually passed, and it was late autumn before I knew it.
The vegetation around the Qin Palace was withered, and it was a scene of withering and killing. Fusu advanced slowly, surrounded by the soldiers of the Snow Dragon Cavalry, who were waiting in full formation without slacking off.
He sat on the Golden Palace, overlooking the officials below. They all looked respectful and solemn, not daring to make any mistakes. Faced with Fusu's pressure, he was now vaguely close to the first emperor of the year.
Before the officials could speak, Fusu pointed his hand lightly, and Mo Li, his confidant eunuch, read out the edict.
"Now that people's livelihood is in ruins and people are suffering, we immediately ordered that all disaster-stricken areas be exempted from taxes for one year, and all other areas will be reduced by 30% to show mercy..."
"Construction of Afang Palace is suspended, corvee reductions and exemptions..."
"Money and food in various places should..."
Government orders were issued one after another, which made the civil and military officials more and more shocked. The prince who oversees the country and the original First Emperor are almost not like biological father and son. One regards the world as his own, killing and killing, while the other is tolerant and kind-hearted, as if he takes it seriously. Treat everyone in the world as your own people!
"Young Master Shengming!"
"Young Master Shengming!"
"..."
Most of the ministers naturally agreed with such good policies that were beneficial to the country. As for the few worms that had embezzled the country's money, food and taxes, they did not dare to speak out at this time.
Although this young master is kind to the people, he shows no mercy to the rebellious officials!
What happened to Zhao Gao back then is still vivid in my mind. Even a traitorous minister who has all the power and can turn a deer into a horse is like this. Wouldn't it be as easy to kill them as to kill a chicken?
Mo Li took a few steps back respectfully and stood beside Fusu.
Fusu raised his eyes and cleared his throat.
"There is another thing. Under the years of war, the people have long been suffering. Although there is a territory that has never been seen in ancient and modern times, the people's livelihood is so dilapidated that it is shocking, so I decided..."
He paused and continued speaking decisively.
"Open the official warehouse to release grain for a month to help the victims."
As soon as these words came out, the whole court instantly became a sensation!
The expressions of all the officials changed suddenly, especially the two prime ministers Feng Quji and Li Si. Li Si almost walked out in three steps at a time and knelt down with a plop, his face extremely anxious!
"Master, you must not do this!"
As soon as Li Si spoke, all the officials had a reason to speak, and they all stood up to remonstrate.
"This is something that will shake the foundation of the country. Sir, think twice!"
"The official warehouse must not be opened!"
"There is no such precedent..."
Forget it, they were all chattering. A thin man next to them also took a few steps and knelt down with a serious and anxious expression.
"Sir! This is absolutely not feasible at this time!"
Fu Su took a closer look and saw that it was none other than the Right Prime Minister Feng Quji. He was a pillar in the court and had always been known as a wise prime minister. Sometimes even the First Emperor would think twice when he opened his mouth.
In another time and space, Zhao Gao's rebellion affected Feng Quji. He left a sentence "The general will not accept humiliation" and then committed suicide. He can be regarded as an elegant and sage.
"Come on, Prime Minister Feng."
Fusu seemed very polite to this person.
"The official warehouse is the cornerstone of the country to prepare for the use of troops externally and in case of natural disasters or man-made disasters. I understand that the young master is eager to love the people, but this move is absolutely necessary. Now the Qin Dynasty is in turmoil and rumors are everywhere. Once there is a war, if the internal government Without money or food, the consequences would be disastrous!"
Feng Quji said it very straightforwardly!
There were even mentions of rumors that had caused a lot of trouble in recent days, which made all the officials feel a chill in their hearts and they subconsciously looked at Fusu's face.
Fusu looked at him expressionlessly and said nothing.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Si hurriedly stepped forward.
"Young Master! Although Prime Minister Feng is straightforward, what he said is all for the sake of the country! The official position must not be touched, Young Master!"
Fusu still didn't say a word. He just sat there with calm eyes.
The entire court was in deathly silence, and many officials had cold sweat on their foreheads. They secretly speculated that Feng Quji, relying on his high position and authority, dared to contradict the young master like this. The current young master can still be the same as the previous young masters. Alone? !
Looking at him like this, shouldn't he kill these two people? !
Feng Quji closed his eyes in pain and sighed.
"Sir, if there is any conflict between the old minister and me, death is not a pity, but when a person is about to die, his words are also kind. The official warehouse must not be opened. This is a national policy. The old minister risked his life to remonstrate, young master!"
After saying that, Feng Quji knelt on the ground with his back straight, making it clear that he would retaliate with death!
Li Si also kept kowtowing and expounded the pros and cons.
Fusu stood up slowly and walked down the steps slowly.
Baiguan's heart suddenly lifted!
He slowly walked up to the two of them.
"Did the two prime ministers collude and deliberately oppose Gu?"
Li Si was shocked and broke into a cold sweat!
Feng Quji was much calmer and shook his head.
"Young Master, what you said is wrong. If you are planning for the country, there is no need to be colluding. Naturally, it comes from your true heart."
Fusu nodded and stretched out his hand to Wang Futang, the deputy commander of the Snow Dragon Cavalry. The latter handed over a sword with a cold face.
This move instantly made all the officials' pupils shrink!
There are those who are sarcastic, there are those who are anxious, there are those who close their eyes in pain, there are also those who are secretly looking forward to...
Li Siwan didn't expect that Fusu would actually take out the sword. For a moment, he felt guilty and confused. He didn't know what to say and could only kneel on the ground.
When Feng Quji saw Fusu's sword in his hand, he laughed at himself and didn't say much. He just closed his eyes silently and waited for death.
Many ministers were already in despair.
The First Emperor passed away, and now the new emperor wants to kill the two prime ministers on his left and right. Is the world really going to be in chaos? Is the Qin Dynasty going to die for the second generation? !
Fusu's long sword was unsheathed and he looked at the officials.
