Chapter 163 Kangxi Is with Me, Let the Qin Dynasty Be Great Again!

Unable to figure it out, Xiong Qi smiled and said, "This memorial from Lord Chang'an is very important!"

"But Lord Chang'an is not an usher, nor is he a Weiwei or Langzhongling, and has no authority to receive reports from subjects from all directions."

"Therefore, Lord Chang'an should first write a memorial on this matter and submit it to the court for discussion."

"Otherwise, Lord Chang'an will be committing a crime of overstepping the rules!"

Why did Xiong Xia willingly transfer to a usher after making meritorious contributions?

Because the Weiwei is in charge of letters from officials and people, the Langzhongling is in charge of memorials from subjects, and the usher, who is directly under the Langzhongling, is directly responsible for the memorials from subjects.

The Weiwei and Langzhongling are the only two channels for subjects who are not the three dukes and nine ministers to report directly to Ying Zheng in public.

At this critical point, the Weiwei and Langzhongling are both vacant, and the usher, a small official with a rank of only 600 stones, can play an important role!

Next, Xiong Qi also planned to take control of the positions of Weiwei, Langzhongling and 70 envoys, so as to cast a net over the channels through which Ying Zheng received reports from his subjects.

A net that filters out news that is not favorable to Chu's relatives!

But whether this net can work depends on whether Ying Zheng and the court officials are willing to cooperate.

So Xiong Qi not only did not want Ying Chengjiao to change the subject, but also did not want Ying Chengjiao to take the lead in breaking the rules.

But did Ying Chengjiao ever care about the rules?

Ying Chengjiao asked in shock: "That's Zheng State!"

"Zheng State, which is in charge of building a canal to divert the Jing River from the west to the Luo River from the east!"

"Under Zheng State, there are more than 100,000 corvées all year round, and up to 500,000 corvées during the slack season!"

Ying Chengjiao asked solemnly: "If this man suddenly leads the corvées to attack when our Great Qin is unprepared, how will our Great Qin respond?"

"It is a terrible thing that a spy from another country holds a full 500,000 capable men in his hands!"

"Now, Lord Changping is discussing with me how to report this matter?"

This matter is indeed of great importance.

If the county magistrate and the arsenal commander of another city are willing to provide weapons and food to Zheng State, then Zheng State will organize a large army within the Great Qin that can destroy the Great Qin!

Ying Zheng's expression has become serious.

Xiong Qi said in a deep voice: "Of course I am surprised! I am even more furious!"

"Of course, what Chang'an Jun did is illegal!"

"Compared to a spy, the law is the foundation of our Great Qin."

"Chang'an Jun should first write a memorial and submit it to the audience!"

Xiong Qi stared at Ying Chengjiao with his eyes full of oppression.

After a few breaths, Ying Chengjiao nodded slightly: "It's me who didn't consider it."

Xiong Qi smiled lightly.

The court has its own rules. When both parties are unwilling to overturn the table, let alone you are Chang'an Jun, even if you are Ying Zheng, you have to abide by the rules!

Xiong Qi thought Ying Chengjiao had given in.

But Ying Chengjiao bowed solemnly: "I ask to be appointed as the audience."

Ying Zheng said without hesitation: "Approved!"

Rules?

The rules we set are the rules!

Ying Chengjiao took out a carving knife from his sleeve and carved a few words, then smiled and looked at Xiong Qi:

"Lord Changping, I have handed the memorial to you, can you please present my memorial now?"

Xiong Qi: !!!

The two brothers sang the same tune and Xiong Qi was dumbfounded.

You are just playing dirty!

And which normal person would upload his own memorial on his behalf!

But no matter how Ying Chengjiao operated, he had already complied with the rules.

Even if Xiong Qi was dissatisfied, he could only say coldly: "Of course you can."

Ying Chengjiao bowed his hands and saluted again: "I received the memorial from Lord Chang'an: Zheng State is a spy!"

The carving was too slow, and Ying Chengjiao could only carve these four words in a short time.

Ying Zheng asked solemnly: "Lord Chang'an said that Zheng State is a spy of Han?"

"How can Zheng State be a spy of Han!"

Ying Chengjiao told Ying Zheng the general direction of his plan.

But Ying Zheng did not expect Ying Chengjiao to help him break the situation, and he also believed that with the help of Zhang Rang and others, Ying Chengjiao would at least not ruin the big thing, so Ying Zheng did not pay attention to the details of Ying Chengjiao's plan.

Now Ying Chengjiao's move confused Ying Zheng.

Zheng Guo can be said to be the world's top water conservancy engineer. He worked diligently and devotedly in the ten years since he entered Qin.

And with Zheng Guo's identity, he could not obtain the key intelligence of Daqin at all, even if he wanted to steal secrets, he had no chance.

Now you say he is a spy?

What is he after?

For a while, Ying Zheng was a little confused whether Zheng Guo was really a spy or Ying Chengjiao was framing Zheng Guo!

Ying Chengjiao explained: "Zheng's entry into Qin was the strategy of King Huanhui of Han."

"King Huanhui of Han sent Zheng to Qin to persuade the king and Lu Buwei to build a canal from Zhongshan to divert the Jingshui River to the west to Hukou as the canal mouth, and use this canal to divert the Jingshui River to the east and flow into the Beiluo River."

"This canal is more than 600 miles long and can irrigate more than 40,000 hectares of farmland!"

Xiong Qi shook his head: "This move can make Guanzhong a fertile land, and we will not be afraid of natural disasters!"

"In this case, how could Zheng be a spy for Han?"

"Chang'an Jun should not waste any more time."

Even if Xiong Qi was too much, he did not dare to let Ying Zheng wait in the square late at night to watch them fight for power.

When the sun set, it was the end of the first round of offensive. Xiong Qi was eager to gain more rights.

And Xiong Qi had not yet said the most important request, and he had not yet got the position of prime minister!

All these took time.

Ying Chengjiao said in a deep voice: "But your Majesty and all the ministers should know how much manpower is needed to build this canal."

"Since the construction of this canal, the military force that our Great Qin can use for foreign wars has been reduced by more than 50% compared to before the canal was built?"

"The previous kings of our Great Qin have worked hard to govern the country, and the national strength of the Great Qin is growing day by day, and it has repeatedly expanded its territory."

"How can Han, a neighboring country of Qin, not be afraid?"

"But no one can stop the pace of the Great Qin's eastward advance!"

"That's why King Huanhui of Han just sent Zheng Guo to Qin."

"The purpose is to weaken the national strength of our Great Qin and make it unable to conquer foreign countries in recent years!"

Hearing this, many court officials were shocked.

"Zheng Guo is actually a spy? I have had many contacts with Zheng Guo, and I can't see any other plots from him!"

"Incredible! It's incredible! Every year, our Great Qin hands over 30% of its national strength and half of its able-bodied men to a spy for dispatch?"

In the past ten years, Zheng Guo has been hidden from power, but the national strength controlled by Zheng Guo has not decreased at all.

Such a humble and powerful person is actually a spy from another country? ! !

The court officials were just thankful.

Thankful that Zheng Guo was just repairing the canal in a safe and stable manner!

Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous!

Only Xiong Xia laughed: "King Huanhui of Han did this to stop my Great Qin for ten years?"

"Why not do it in exchange for a mere ten years to make Guanzhong a fertile land!"

"And King Huanhui of Han even gave my Great Qin a great talent for water engineering for this."

"If all spies in the world are like this, my Great Qin should have more and more!"

Xiong Qi shouted angrily: "Xiong Yezhe, shut up!"

"All those who deceived the king should be punished, how can they enter more Qin territory?"

From the perspective of the people, there is nothing wrong with Zhengguo Canal.

It doesn't matter whether Zheng Guo is a spy or not!

But if you look at it from another perspective, the problem is big!

Collaborating with foreign countries, deceiving the king, and being a spy, these three points alone are enough for Zheng Guo to die three times.

As for whether to pardon Zheng Guo?

That is a decision that only the King of Qin can make, and others only have the right to advise.

Feeling Xiong Qi's anger, Xiong Xia hurriedly bowed his hands: "I have spoken out of turn, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Ying Zheng ignored Xiong Qi and asked in a deep voice: "Do you have any evidence?"

Ying Chengjiao bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty can summon Han An to inquire about this matter."

"Brother, you can also look for the documents of the former King of Han, among which there are letters between Zheng Guo and the King of Han."

Seeing that Ying Chengjiao was so sure, Ying Zheng had already made a judgment in his heart.

Zheng Guo is really a spy!

Ying Zheng immediately ordered: "Pass on my order!"

"Quickly summon Zheng Guo and Han An to the court for questioning!"

"Quickly look for the old Han documents and the correspondence between King Huanhui of Han and Zheng Guo!"

Meng Tian immediately bowed his hands: "Yes!"

Ying Zheng said with emotion: "I never thought that Zheng Guo would be a spy of Han."

"I was deceived by Zheng Guo!"

Ying Chengjiao said gently: "It's because the king has a long-term vision and can see the world in decades."

"But King Huanhui of Han only focuses on Qin and Han in the next ten years!"

Xiong Qi laughed and said: "But even if King Huanhui of Han uses spies to delay the strength of our Great Qin, Chang'an Jun of our Great Qin will still lead the army to destroy Han."

"I congratulate the Great Qin! Congratulations to the king!"

The crowd also Fen bowed: "I congratulate the king!"

After shouting, Xiong Qi spoke in a gentle voice: "Chang'an Jun, please return to your seat first."

"Today, we should sort out the affairs of the court of our Great Qin, so that it will be easier for the king to govern the Great Qin."

Ying Chengjiao nodded slightly: "Changping Jun is right."

"I have listened for a long time, heard too many illegal and disorderly acts, and saw that the former humerus of the Great Qin were exposed and revealed their true colors."

"I have a doubt, please solve it for me, Changping Jun!"

Xiong Qi was impatient, but he still suppressed his temper and nodded: "Chang'an Jun, you can speak frankly."

Ying Chengjiao asked in a deep voice: "How many memorials are there today to impeach court officials?"

Xiong Qi looked at Xiong Xia and others.

The messengers who were relatives of the Chu clan and Lu Buwei's subordinates came out one after another: "I still have 172 letters in my hand."

"I still have 57 letters."

"I still need to report..."

Ying Chengjiao calculated for a moment and gave the answer: "In other words, 862 impeachment memorials?"

"If I remember correctly, more than 250 ministers have been found to have violated the law and dismissed from their posts today, right?"

"In other words, today alone, my Great Qin has caught more than a thousand rats!"

Ying Chengjiao sighed with emotion: "When I learned about the affairs of Zheng State, I felt that the court of my Great Qin was not as clear as I usually see."

"But today I just learned how many treacherous people are hidden under this bright and clear world!"

Xiong Qi frowned.

He was increasingly confused about what Ying Chengjiao was trying to do.

Is it just a lament that the government is not clear?

How is it possible!

With Ying Chengjiao's eyes, it was impossible not to see that their core point was to fight for power.

Out of caution, Xiong Qi said in a deep voice: "I am also deeply frightened by today's report."

"That is why we need to eradicate the chaos in the court as soon as possible!"

Ying Chengjiao ignored Xiong Qi, but turned to look at the court officials, with a bit of sadness in his voice.

"There are two of the three dukes in the court, and the king has to dismiss one."

"The king has to dismiss four of the nine senior ministers."

"The king has to dismiss more than a thousand of the ministers!"

"Look at these more than a thousand people, which one is not in an important position? Which one is not a pillar of the court?"

"What they did is shameful to the Qin Dynasty! Shameful to the Qin Dynasty! Shameful to the king!"

"And you!" Ying Chengyu pointed at all the courtiers who were still standing with trembling fingers: "Although everyone is standing on the dry shore in high-sounding glory, are you so clean?"

"I know that some of you are more evil than these more than a thousand people!"

"The current danger of the Qin Dynasty does not lie in other countries or other places, but in this court!"

"It's right here in Qinian Palace!"

"If you die, all the other places in Da Qin will die. Sooner or later, my country, Da Qin, will perish, leaving me waiting to die without a place to bury!"

Xiong Qi scolded in a deep voice: "Mr. Chang'an, what you said is too much!"

"There are indeed many ministers in the court who violate the law, but most of them still love the Qin Dynasty!"

"And what we are doing today is to restore peace to the Qin Dynasty!"

Ying Chengyu walked quickly towards Xiong Xia and raised the bamboo basket full of memorials beside Xiong Xia: "Changping Lord, come and say this to the basket of crimes in my hand."

"I have received so many memorials from my subjects, and there are even spies from other countries such as Zheng Guo who have been hidden in the court and have not been known to anyone."

"I said that the imperial court is dead. Is it really too much?"

"Or do you think Mr. Changping thinks these charges are all fabricated?"

"Xiong Ye!" Ying Chengyu said angrily: "Tell Mr. Changping whether these charges are true or false!"

What can Xiong Xia say?

He could only hand it over helplessly: "All the accusations are true!"

Xiong Qi didn't know what to say.

Ying Chengxuan used the charges and evidence that Xiong Qi had collected or even fabricated to beat him.

Regardless of whether he admits or denies it, he will only make a mess in the end!

While silent, Ying Zheng sighed with emotion: "What Lord Chang'an said is also what I think."

Standing up, Ying Zheng walked down the stairs slowly and walked towards the courtiers: "The country of our ancestors was left in the hands of a few people, but it has become like this."

"I am heartbroken and heartbroken. I am guilty of Da Qin!"

"I am ashamed of my ancestors and ashamed of heaven and earth. I wish I could depose myself!"

No matter what they thought in their hearts, all the courtiers raised their hands in unison: "I am guilty!"

Ying Zheng sighed: "You are guilty, you are guilty, I have heard too many guilty words today."

"What's the use of pleading guilty?"

Ying Chengyu suddenly raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the reason why traitors are rampant in the current court is actually due to the national policy of our Great Qin!"

"We, the Qin Dynasty, have always valued foreign visitors and given respect to visitors from other countries. We do not hesitate to treat them with the title of general or even prime minister!"

"In the past, this move allowed our country, Great Qin, to develop rapidly and become the strongest country in the world!"

"But in recent decades, the number of foreigners pouring into my country has changed."

"No longer a hero of the world, but a corrupt official with no bottom line, an unscrupulous businessman who takes advantage of others, and a dandy with no knowledge or skills!"

"They don't care about Da Qin in their hearts, they are just fighting for their own glory and wealth."

"They have no spirit of law and are trying to destroy the foundation that supports Da Qin!"

"Please give me your orders!"

Ying Chengyu stood up straight and shouted loudly: "Expulse all foreign visitors standing in the court!"

"Strengthen inspections at all passes in Daqin, tighten the channels for foreign visitors to enter Qin, and expel all foreigners who enter Qin illegally!"

"Let all talented Qin people stand up, unite, and participate in the great mission of building Great Qin!"

"Make Great Qin great again!"
