Ba Shi's eyeballs popped out, he was surprised and excited at the same time, so he hurriedly asked, "Is he the prime minister of the left or the prime minister of the right?"
"It's Prime Minister Zhong!" Ba Mi replied.
"What? Prime Minister Zhong!" Ba Shi's brows were crooked, and he said in surprise, "Then, isn't it because of him that the emperor specially added the position of Prime Minister Zhong?"
"Well, that's what it seems to be written in the Zhao Shu that announced to the world." Ba Mi nodded.
"Hiss!" Ba Shi gasped in shock, and sighed: "The emperor is one person, and the post of prime minister is added. There is no other person in this world who can receive such kind treatment!"
Ba Mi nodded and asked curiously: "Brother, do you think this Li Yang is really so powerful? The emperor not only made him a prime minister, but also said in the imperial edict that he should be in charge of legal affairs and carry out legal reforms!"
"Oh?" Ba Shi was even more surprised, turned his head and said with a smile: "Since the emperor trusts him so much, he must have seen Li Yang, no, he must have seen that our Li Xiang has the ability to shock the world and weep ghosts and gods. It seems that, We underestimated him before!"
Ba Mi also nodded in sympathy. In fact, when she saw the imperial edict issued by the emperor, she couldn't even believe her eyes.
At this time, Ba Shi hurriedly said: "Hurry up, get ready, we must greet Li Xiang well, and celebrate Li Xiang!"
Then, Bafu started to get busy...
At the same time, in the right prime minister's mansion.
"Feng Xiang is really ingenious. This time, His Majesty really did as you expected. He summoned the young master to help Su come back with the help of offering medicine. Haha, this is really a great joy for me recently!"
When Meng Yi came to the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, seeing the Right Prime Minister Feng Quji, he was all smiles, and the haze in his eyes seemed to have been swept away at this moment.
Back then, the young master Fusu was young and vigorous, and his political ideas contradicted the first emperor's governance, and he didn't know how to bear to contradict the first emperor's majesty many times, so that he directly accused the first emperor of burning books. When he was wrong in Confucianism, he was sent to the frontier by Qin Shihuang in a rage.
The fact that the young master Fusu was dispatched caused an uproar in the court, especially those ministers of civil and military affairs who supported the rule of benevolence.
Now, son Fusu can finally return to court, and some ministers are not displeased.
Feng Quji sat at the head seat above the study, and next to him was his son Feng Jie, Doctor Yushi.
At this time, Feng Jie also smiled happily: "Yes, the eldest son was able to return to the court, which is enough to show that His Majesty sent the eldest son to the border, not because he really blamed him, but just as my father guessed, His Majesty It's called distribution, but it's actually for the good intentions of the eldest son's growth. From this point of view, we still have something to do."
Meng Yi nodded, and admired Feng Quji, who was sitting in the upper position: "It's Mr. Feng who has a unique vision and predicts things like a god."
In Qin Dynasty, he respected the right, and Feng Quji was the prime minister of the right, who was respected by Li Si in name, and was the head of all officials.It's just that although he is a dignified man, he is not as favored as Li Si because of his philosophy of governing the country.
Now that the young master Fusu can return to the court, Feng Quji is also quite relieved, and said with a smile: "This time the eldest son can come back, but it is all due to the merit of the prime minister in the middle. We will do our best in the court in the future." with his law reforms."
When Meng Yi heard this, he nodded, pondered for a while, and then said: "Although this person is a little crazy, he is indeed a talent. He can analyze the law so thoroughly, it can be said that no one in the court can match him. And , the law of governing the world he advocates is not Confucianism, but it can be regarded as the rule of benevolence, which coincides with us. However, this time he wants to subvert Li Siyi's political views of "ruling the rioters with strict laws" , I think Li Si already regards him as a political enemy."
Feng Jie was also worried and said, "It hasn't been long since Li Si killed Han Fei with jealousy. If Li Si repeats his old plan, then our prime minister will be in danger."
"What Feng Jie said is not unreasonable! Prime Minister Zhong has no foundation in the court, how easy it is for Li Si to kill him!" Meng Yi couldn't help feeling worried.
Li Si is famous for being jealous.
Back then, Li Si was afraid that the King of Qin would reuse Han Fei, so he spoke ill of Han Fei to the King of Qin. The King of Qin trusted Li Si and put Han Fei in prison.According to the provisions of the Qin State Law, prisoners in prison have no right to submit a letter to defend themselves.Under the collusion of Li Si and Yao Jia, Han Fei committed suicide by eating the poison Li Si sent.
Li Si, who studied under Xunzi, learned the art of the emperor, specializing in the art of power.
It is precisely because he is such a person who specializes in power and tactics that he does not allow others to be reused more than himself. For this reason, he can even kill Han Fei with jealousy, and Li Yang can naturally kill him.
Feng Quji laughed disapprovingly.
Meng Yi was puzzled and asked, "Why is Xiang Feng laughing?"
Feng Quji smiled and said: "You are too worried! Although our Zhongcheng has no foundation in the court, how can he be compared with Han Fei? Don't forget, in His Majesty's heart, but He has become my Daqin's auspicious star. When the auspicious star is born, your Majesty's illness will be gone. If the auspicious star is in trouble, what will happen to your majesty's luck? So, you can rest assured, as long as your majesty believes that he is my Daqin's auspicious star, Li Si will be fine for a day. Don't dare to move him."
Meng Yi thought about it again, and found that it was the same reason.
Thinking of Li Yang bragging that he is the disciple of the gods, and that Guiguzi is his senior brother, he couldn't help laughing and said: "This person bragging about himself in the court hall is exactly in line with His Majesty's words."
Feng Jie also said: "That's right, this person's bragging ability is extremely good. If it weren't for the later words of governing the world, I would have thought he was just a frivolous person."
Feng Quji said thoughtfully: "All medicines are called fairy medicines, and their talents are called heavenly gifts. Hehe, this person's clever methods are beyond my generation's comparison!"
Chapter 14 Congratulations
On the other side, Prime Minister Li Si's residence.
After Li Si came home, he refused all the subordinates who asked to see him, and walked alone in the courtyard, thinking, no one knew what he was thinking.
At this time, his eldest son, Li You, came to him in a hurry and said, "Father, I found out that Li Yang is not in my Daqin household registration at all, as if he appeared out of nowhere suddenly." , there was no trace of him before that."
"Oh, there is such a thing." Li Si was a little surprised.
"Father, what should we do now? There are many people in the court who want to complain about father's injustice." Li You said angrily.
Li Si smiled wanly, and said: "Go get ready, we'll go congratulate Prime Minister Zhong later!"
"Ah? Father is going to congratulate him?" Li You was very surprised.
Li Si glanced at his son, a little annoyed, and said slightly reproachfully: "Son, you remember clearly, as an official in the court, the most important thing is to know the emperor's mind. Only by sharing your worries for His Majesty can you gain His Majesty's favor. Don't think that this power is something that a subject can fight for!"
"Now, Your Majesty has made up his mind to carry out legal reforms, and he even regards the Prime Minister of China as the lucky star of our Great Qin. If you dare to oppose him at this time, wouldn't it be against Your Majesty? Remember In a word, the last thing a courtier should do is to disobey the emperor's will! In this case, we must not only support the reform of the law, but also recommend to His Majesty to let you go to the prime minister's account."
Li You was taken aback for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Son, remember."
"Well, let's prepare a congratulatory gift!" Li Si waved his hand, then his eyes became blurred, and he said with emotion: "Li Yang, I really want to see if you can solve this mess in Daqin! "
…………
Besides, Li Yang, after coming out of Xianyang Palace, felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
One is that he did not expect that Ying Zheng would trust him so much. Not only did he become a marquis, but he also worshiped the prime minister to lead the reform of the law and lead the law and administration of the court.
You must know that there is a world of difference between leading the reform of the law and being the chief of the law.
The reform of the law is only to amend the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, but the chief legal officer is different, which means that all personnel organizations related to the law are all in charge of him.
In the words of later generations, he alone is in charge of the three schools of public security, prosecution and law.
If it is not clear, it can only be summed up in one line:
You ask me what is the West Factory?Let me tell you now, our west factory will take care of things that you don't dare to take care of in the east factory.People you dare not kill in the East Factory, we will kill in the West Factory.In a word, we take care of what the East Factory can manage, and we have to take care of what the East Factory can't.Cut first and play later, the imperial power franchise!This is Xichang, is it clear enough?
That's right, the power of Li Yang, Chief of the Law Department, is similar to that of Xichang in the later Ming Dynasty.Even how the law is written is up to him.
Just ask you, is it awesome?
The bottom is in charge of the punishment of the people in the world, and the top is to supervise the positions of various ministries and agencies. Except for the emperor, in this Great Qin world, no matter who breaks the law, he must be under his control.One can imagine the great power in this.
However, while Li Yang was excited, he couldn't help feeling sad.
"If in later life, I can achieve such success, how happy my parents and family will be for me?"
