Chapter 387 Feng Quji retires
When it comes to the accountability system, all the officials in the Qilin Palace looked at Feng Quji.
Seeing this, Feng Quji sighed helplessly:
"His Royal Highness's accountability system is good, but it has changed too much all of a sudden, and the officials may not be able to accept it for a while. Should we make a transition first and give the officials below some time to prepare?"
Although he was reluctant, Feng Quji had no choice.
After all, he comes from a family of officials and officials, and has the deepest relationship with the official class in Daqin, and he is also the head of civil servants, so he has to stand up at this moment.
However, in order to reduce the consequences of opposition as much as possible, Feng Quji still adopted a more euphemistic wording.
After Feng Quji's words fell, the officials in the Qilin Hall subconsciously glanced at Ying Zheng. Seeing Ying Zheng's calm expression, the hearts of all the officials suddenly sank.
In this situation, even Shi Huang's cronies such as Meng Yi and Dun Wei would not dare to speak rashly.
"Feng Shangshu, if an official doesn't even know what his subordinates have done, then the official's ability may be questionable, or this official is actually deliberately pretending not to know, so as to shirk his own responsibility. ?”
"If the imperial court doesn't impose strict requirements on these officials and ask them to ask carefully about what happened within the scope of their duties, a small disaster will turn into a big disaster in the future. Even killing this official will not help."
"Don't forget that the imperial court appoints officials to benefit one side, not to let them be high-ranking officials who only enjoy power and don't give anything!"
Ying Yu snorted coldly and said, "Excessive kindness will only harm others and oneself in the end, and affect the development of the entire Great Qin!"
"I was confused for a moment, and please forgive me, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Seeing this, Feng Quji hurriedly bowed to admit his mistake. He had no intention of contradicting the crown prince Ying Yu.
The reason why he stood up was only due to pressure.
After all, the power in the hands of the prince Ying Yu is no different from that of the emperor.
If the crown prince really wants to use Feng Quji to stand up, no one will be able to save him.
So Feng Quji, just put on a show, stood up and said something casually.
It can be regarded as an explanation to the officials of the world.
"Feng Shangshu has been an official for many years, and the government and opposition officials know Feng Shangshu very well. It is understandable for Feng Shangshu to feel unbearable."
"It's just that Feng Shangshu needs to be clear that the officials of Daqin represent the image of the Daqin court, and their every move will be understood by the common people as the meaning of the government."
"Under such circumstances, if the court does not impose strict requirements on the officials, and if the officials are corrupt and violate the law or fail to correct in a timely manner, the damaged people will be the ones who will resent the court."
"After accumulating in this way, what consequences will eventually lead to, presumably Feng Shangshu and everyone here are not clear?"
"Only a strict system can make the truly outstanding officials stand out, and let the stupid and mediocre officials show their true colors. Only in this way can qualified officials be tempered, and only in this way can the government's decrees be truly implemented."
"Otherwise, no matter how powerful Daqin is, no matter how invincible it is, it will not be able to resist the moths from within. No matter how tall the building is, if there is a problem with its foundation, it will collapse one day."
Ying Yu said in a deep voice.
In the history of later generations, the reason why the Central Plains dynasty went from leading the world to lagging behind for so long, the problem still came from inside, not outside.
Daming, which was once powerful, also fell on top of the moths inside.
Otherwise, even in the event of a natural disaster during the Little Ice Age, those braids who were no more than barbarian tribes at the beginning would never have the chance to enter the Central Plains.
As a time traveler, Ying Yu would not fail to learn this lesson.
Great benefits have been given to Daqin officials. It can be said that once they become officials, they will be guaranteed for life. If they are not satisfied, Ying Yu will definitely not mind brandishing the beheading knife.
Even if Daqin is short of officials, it will not tolerate such moths.
Ying Yu never hopes that the empire on which the sun never sets that he has worked so hard to build will leave eternal regrets in the future because of internal problems.
And the accountability system that prevents the passing of time must be strictly implemented now, when the prestige of Ying Yu and Ying Zheng is enough to frighten the whole Qin Dynasty.
Otherwise, the emperors of later generations would not have the prestige and courage of Ying Yu and Ying Zheng to implement such a decree that would definitely make the entire official class dissatisfied.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became serious.
All the officials looked at each other for a long time, but in the end they still didn't speak.
Ying Yu's attitude was already very obvious.
Ying Yu absolutely must implement this decree.
If they dare to stop them, Ying Yu will definitely not mind letting them retire early, or even go directly to Xianyang Prison to spend their lives.
They would never doubt whether Ying Yu had such energy.
Those who can stand here are very clear that if Ying Yu hadn't rejected it himself, Ying Zheng would have already passed the position to Ying Yu.
Even though Ying Yu is still the crown prince, with the full support of Ying Zheng and the power to supervise the country, his power is no different from that of the emperor.
Officials like them are unlikely to be qualified to compete with Ying Yu.
Moreover, in the court, Ying Yu's iron club had already taken over the general trend.
Meng Yi, Wang Jian, Wang Ben, etc. are all absolute supporters of Ying Yu. Xiao He and Chen Ping, who were discovered and promoted by Ying Yu, also began to have a greater voice.
In other words, the reason why the Great Qin Dynasty Hall can maintain the atmosphere of speaking freely is that Ying Zheng and Ying Yu left a stage for the officials to play more.
This is a gift from the emperor, not that the officials really have the right to negotiate with the emperor.
If you make the wrong choice, you will pay a huge price.
Sure enough, Ying Zheng, who had been silent all this time, glanced at the courtiers with different expressions, and finally spoke:
"What the prince said is my plan for the future of the Qin Dynasty, and it must be implemented as soon as possible."
"What Your Majesty said is that I know I was wrong!"
After Yingzheng's words fell, Feng Quji spoke again, hesitating slightly and continued:
"Your Majesty, the old minister is now in his sixtieth year. The state affairs are heavy, and the minister has more energy than energy. I want to go home and recuperate for a while. Please allow me your Majesty's permission."
After Feng Quji finished speaking, the expressions of all officials changed drastically.
But Ying Zheng, who was on the throne, said without changing his expression:
"That's it!"
"During Feng Shangshu's recuperation, the Shangshuling has been temporarily replaced by Xiao He."
"Also, Jin Chenping shoots for Shangshu Zuopu!"
As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, there was a gasp in the hall.
As expected of the First Emperor, when he made a move, it was indeed straightforward.
This Xiao He went directly to the sky in one step. Although he was acting temporarily as the minister, anyone with a discerning eye knew that this temporary acting might be permanent.
All the officials in the Qilin Hall were shocked, but Feng Quji himself had a relaxed expression.
To be able to retire with dignity and enjoy the newly launched retirement benefits, to Feng Quji, it can be said to be a kind heart.
After all, he had already planned to 'resign'!
