Chapter 737: Return to power
I'm back. ”
Emperor Qin looked at the ministers and said lightly.
But just four short words, in the hall, the ministers listened to it, full of confidence and majesty, and people couldn't help but immerse themselves in it.
I have returned, and since then, the past has vanished, and the world will open a new chapter.
If it is said that at the moment of seeing Emperor Qin, some of the ministers will wonder if the person in front of them will be someone else pretending, but as soon as this sentence came out, they instinctively gave them a sense of convincing, and subconsciously felt that it was a real person.
It's just that the reaction of the ministers is not as excited as imagined, except for some old ministers, who recall what has happened over the years, they can't help but burst into tears.
Although the newly promoted officials were a little excited, they were far from being enthusiastic.
If Emperor Qin had appeared for a while, it would not have been too early, only a year earlier, when the rebellion in the world had not yet been pacified, and the performance of the ministers would be much more intense than now.
Because in contrast, they will feel that when Emperor Qin was there, what a beautiful scenery the Qin State was, and they dared not obey it.
The remnants of the six kingdoms, like bedbugs and rats in the trenches, are terrified all day long, and dare not see the light of day easily.
The four vassal countries took great pains to pay tribute to the princess and treasures to protect the temple.
After Emperor Qin's "return to heaven", all sides rebelled, and the whole world attacked Qin, and the world was in chaos.
When Emperor Qin was born, he turned the tide, cleaned up the mountains and rivers, ended the troubled times, and returned to peace in the world, and the people were convinced.
The greatness and importance of Emperor Qin will be magnified countless times at that time.
The world praises nothing more than this.
Unfortunately, there is already someone who has done all these things.
The kingdom established by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms was destroyed, the countries of the Western Regions were destroyed, Zhao Tuo's Nanyue Kingdom was destroyed, and the Hu people in the north were also destroyed.
Only Nanzhao and Liaodong Yang Duanhe remained, hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, surviving for a long time.
To put it simply, the Qin Emperor does not seem to be so important to the Qin State.
The appearance of Emperor Qin, except for replacing an emperor with an unconscious head with a wise and martial emperor, seems to have nothing else to do.
For civil and military officials, do they really need a wise and martial emperor?
I'm afraid not necessarily, especially Emperor Qin's arbitrary and drastic methods, the pressure brought by Hu Hai is incomparable.
If it weren't for Emperor Qin's Yu Wei shocking the customs, some people present might dare to think crookedly.
The facial expressions and small movements of the ministers fell into the eyes of Emperor Qin, with his acuity, how could he not guess the thoughts of the ministers?
It's just that Emperor Qin's will will never be shifted because of the thoughts of a group of courtiers.
"Spread my will, set up Hu Hai as the prince, and recruit doormen and staff, open a government and build a mansion. ”
This sentence alone denied the identity of Emperor Huhai and demoted him to the crown prince.
The civil and military officials looked at each other, and they didn't know how to react for a while.
Seeing this, Emperor Qin's face turned cold: "Are you dissatisfied with my crown prince?
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials suddenly felt awe-inspiring, and felt a trace of murder quietly blooming.
After several accidents and purges, the ministers in the palace were already disappointed in Hu Hai, and their loyalty was not high, so how could anyone come out to cry out for him.
Before, I just took into account that the door changed too quickly, and I was afraid that the face would be too ugly and cause disgust. did not post the Qin Emperor for the first time.
It wasn't until Emperor Qin's second sentence came out that the ministers immediately changed their positions and congratulated Hu Hai one after another: "Congratulations to Prince Hu Hai for being appointed as the crown prince, and there is a successor to the empire." ”
Hu Hai listened to Emperor Qin's words and watched the performance of the ministers, his face was pale, and he only felt that his heart was constantly falling, and his body was slightly cold.
Although Hu Hai kept comforting himself in his heart, his father was right, he was qualified to be the emperor of Qin, his intelligence was low, and his wealth was enough for a lifetime.
But another voice roared in Hu Hai's mind: "This is yours, the throne was passed on to you by him, how can you say that you can take it away?"
Even if his heart was in turmoil, Hu Hai didn't make any extra moves, and let Emperor Qin do it.
Because Hu Hai knew that whether he resisted or was dissatisfied, it would be of no help to the hard-hearted and determined father.
The interest of the ministers saved Emperor Qin a lot of things, and he avoided killing chickens and monkeys.
For Emperor Qin, such a thing as killing people is dispensable, as long as people are obedient, there is no need to deliberately do something.
"Next, which of you will tell me why Chang'an is so withered, and the people have to go out to grab food in order to eat?"
"What happened in the five years that I was away? ”
Those who have quick thoughts immediately took a few steps, stood in the middle of the main hall, and hurriedly saluted and spoke: "The minister wishes to recommend himself." ”
Emperor Qin looked at the dozen or so officials who were scrambling, smiled silently, and said, "The secretaries are very positive, and the officials are promoted one level to show their appreciation." ”
The officials who took the initiative to come out suddenly showed joy on their faces, bowed down and said, "The ministers have thanked Your Majesty for your favor." ”
Emperor Qin waved his hand and said, "Stand down, you don't need to say it, I have my own secret guards to monitor the world." ”
There is no Li Si in the court, there is no Zhao Gao, with the wisdom of Emperor Qin, if you don't feel abnormal, it is abnormal.
To put it mildly, above this court, including Hu Hai, Emperor Qin can't believe any of them.
The reason why the ministers were allowed to open their mouths was just a small temptation, and besides, Emperor Qin was not without a backhand.
I only heard the majestic voice of Emperor Qin: "Where is the great priest's order?"
A figure gradually emerged in the center of the Chengtian Palace, and the Great Commander, who was shrouded in black robes, bowed to Emperor Qin and said, "The minister is here." ”
"In front of everyone, tell me, what has happened in the past five years?"
"The minister obeys the order," the chief priest heard the words, stood tall, and told the story of the Qin Emperor after he disappeared.
When he heard that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms rebelled, all the lands of the eastern part of the country were lost, and the rebels even advanced west to the pass, Emperor Qin couldn't help but snort coldly.
When he heard that Li Si had rebelled and Hu Hai fled in embarrassment, Emperor Qin glared at Hu Hai, who was standing on the side.
When he heard that Yang Duanhe had led his army to flee, destroyed Goryeo, and established himself as the ruler of the country; Zhao Tuo had openly established himself as the king of Nanyue and drawn a clear line with the Qin state; and Wang Li had led his army to disappear and had not been heard from so far, Emperor Qin's face had changed from gloomy to calm.
The Qin State, which has millions of elites, in the end, the main force of the counterinsurgency is just a group of conscripted laborers, which is really ironic.
Even the border barbarians who razed Nanzhao dared to stretch out their claws to the Qin State and enter the two provinces of Nanyun and Shu to wantonly burn and loot, what a humiliation is this?
"That's enough, let's not talk about it yet, I'll ask you in detail when I get back. ”
Emperor Qin suddenly opened his mouth to interrupt the words of the great priest, he was afraid that he couldn't help it, and he would slap Hu Hai and everyone in the court to death.
Although Emperor Qin knew in his heart that these things were inseparable from the remnants of the Six Kingdoms behind the scenes, and even Confucianism and Buddhism, he still couldn't help but want to scold: "Waste, all are waste." ”
"I want to know, where is the young champion Hou Linze, who turned the tide, and why didn't he come to see me today, is it because he is dissatisfied?"
Counting these things, Emperor Qin found that if the Great Si Ming hadn't lied, if it weren't for Lin Ze, the Qin State would have been destroyed several times.
But today, there is no such person in the court, so I specially asked.
Who knew that as soon as Emperor Qin's words came out, the Chengtian Hall rarely fell into silence, and the needles could be heard.
Da Si Ming coughed lightly and said, "A few months ago, that champion Hou and Hu Hai Gongzi were a little unhappy, and he took his army to the Western Regions, and it was said that he planned to expand his territory to the west. ”
"What's unpleasant? I want to listen to the truth. ”
Emperor Qin's eyes burned and he looked back at Da Si Ming and Hu Hai.
"At the big wedding banquet, Gongzi Hu Hai colluded with Buddhism and assassinated Lin Ze. After Lin Ze saw through it, he killed two strong men in Buddhism, abolished the martial arts cultivation of Huhai Gongzi, and went south to kill Buddhism. ”
"The Buddha who beat the door wrote a letter to ask for sin, and then he gave up. ”
Just a few months ago, Lin Ze left Chang'an with his henchmen and went to the Western Regions, taking most of the materials in the treasury with him, and claiming to be an expedition to the extreme west. ”
This is the fundamental reason why His Majesty first entered the city and found that the people were robbing food in the market. ”
As a loyal dog of the Qin Emperor, Da Si Ming naturally would not excuse either Hu Hai and Lin Ze, but told the truth truthfully.
Emperor Qin's eyes looked at Hu Hai, and he became more and more unkind.
In Emperor Qin's view, the merit is high and the lord is strong, the minister is strong and the lord is weak, and it is understandable for Hu Hai to kill Lin Ze, but he can end up in person and collude with outsiders to do this kind of thing, which is simply hopelessly stupid.
In particular, Hu Hai not only failed to do this, but was attacked by his courtiers and abolished his martial arts, which was extremely humiliating.
"The Qin State is in such chaos, it seems that I have to clean up the court and bring peace back to Unai. ”
"The Great Commander, I ordered you to enter the Imperial Captain's Mansion from today onwards, lead the secret guards to rebuild the black-clothed guards, supervise the hundred officials upwards, and clean up the chaotic people downwards, do you have any objections?"
Of course, the Great Secretary has no objection to this, for him, this is all the same old business.
"Wechen obeyed. ”
Emperor Qin looked at the civil and military officials in the court again, and said coldly: "From tomorrow, I will evaluate you, and those who are capable will be in high positions, and those who are mediocre will clean up their bedding and go home to farm. ”
"The ministers obeyed. ”
At this point, Emperor Qin easily took back his power, gave orders, and his ministers bowed.
"As for that Lin Ze, what do you think should be done?"
Emperor Qin suddenly asked.
