Chapter 398 False courtiers

Not to mention it, in Xianyang City, even not far from Xianyang Palace, the number of visitors is definitely not a small number. Cao family is just the tip of the iceberg. This incident of visitors is a natural thing in the eyes of many nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period. When they continue until this time, they naturally would not have thought that they would be cancelled.

This time, no one came forward to make any comments, but their expressions made Ying Gao see that if you want to continue to implement this matter, it may not be as relaxed as before.

Because Ying Gao discovered that many people's eyes were not looking at him or Xiao He who said this, but were staring at the two people who were currently standing at the forefront of the Qin Dynasty, Meng Yi and Feng Quji.

Xiao He and Han Xin, the outsiders from Xianyang City who had no background and no foundation, naturally did not have any disciples in their mansions, but Meng Yi and Feng Quji were different. Their family had already taken root in Xianyang City, and their family had experienced the most chaotic period in Xianyang City, so everyone knew that the group of disciples would definitely exist in Meng Yi and Feng Quji's mansions.

Xiao He naturally saw the performance of everyone. Suddenly, a light of inspiration flashed in his mind. He suddenly understood Ying Gao's intentions and why Ying Gao did not reveal the revision of Qin Rule to Feng Quji and Meng Yi in advance.

It is obvious that only in this case can Ying Gao see clearly whether Meng Yi and Feng Quji really have the determination to support him. If Ying Gao reveals this matter to the two in advance, it is difficult to guarantee that the two will not hide or whitewash activities for some outstanding guests who have served their family for many years. Once the news is revealed in advance, it will cause Ying Gao to be even more trouble.

At this time, either rejecting, questioning, or agreeing happily. In short, it is time for Meng Yi and Feng Quji to express their opinions. If they don’t say anything, it will be an ending where you neither oppose nor make the emperor happy. That means you are still angry in your heart, and in the end you can only end up with two sides and not human beings.

Silence began to cover the Qin court. Ying Gao, like everyone else, did not hide his gaze. He looked at Meng Yi and Feng Quji, waiting for their news.

Ying Gao never fought unprepared battles. Ying Gao had already asked the Zhu family and Han Xin to inquire about the number of officials in Xianyang City, especially the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers' Mansions, and it had been about half a year.

Because Ying Gao had never released any news of banning the guests before, many officials were not wary of the matter of the guests. Many of them even went to Xianyang City to stroll around when they were bored. Although they did not have a proper identity, they did not go in and out of the city gate, so naturally no one cared about them.

According to the Zhu family's return, the most visitors in the entire Xianyang City were the Meng family, where Meng Yi was the patriarch. The total number of visitors in the mansions of various branches of the Meng family exceeded 300, and most of them were used as guardians. Although Meng Yi's status and the public security in Xianyang City may not be used at all, these visitors were still in his home.

In fact, Ying Gao's remediation of the disciples was not entirely because there were anti-Qin people among the disciples of the Cao clan. However, the incident made Ying Gao put the disciples in a more important position.

Ying Gao knew that in the Qin Dynasty, there are traces to whether every new policy will be supported by success or failure. The reason for Ying Gao's punishment of hundreds of people for opening up the transformation of business registration is also related to the existence of this disciple.

The reason why the disciples are called disciples is because they either claim to be talents or the talents that the people who hire them think are talented, whether they are literary or martial, must be more or less skilled. Of course, there are many people's skilled skills that brag.

But don't worry about whether these people brag or are really good. If you can let them abandon their identities and stay in the noble mansions that hire them, rich revenge is essential.

Ying Gao knew that most of the expenses of many noble families were spent on hiring customers, because why? Because customers meant the face of your family.

If you, a member of the Nine Ministers, only have three or five disciples, but there are dozens of censors, where will you put your face?

So when Ying Gao opened his business, many nobles tried to use this matter to make money. It was not because they just liked money, but because some nobles rely entirely on the salary of people in the court, it was really not enough.

Ying Gao asked Xiao He more than once, if all these disciples became the people of the Qin Dynasty, and all of them would durable their ability to help the Qin Dynasty rise, how many more talents could the Qin Dynasty produce? Xiao He had no other expressions in the face of such a problem except to sigh.

Feng Quji's family's number of disciples is the highest. After all, Feng Quji is now the right prime minister, and his son Feng Jie almost controls two or three counties outside Hangu Pass. His granddaughter Feng Qing is Ying Gao's only wife. From this perspective, it seems that the Feng family will be the first family in the Qin Dynasty sooner or later. Therefore, although the old man has very strict requirements for himself, the more the disciples in the family, it is naturally better.

At this time, Meng Yi and Feng Quji suddenly felt the pressure on themselves.

For the two of them, this incident was obviously a real sudden attack. This was different from Ying Gao's questioning in his own hall alone, but an investigation of almost all the Qin officials.

Once the two of them raised a little objection, the people behind them would follow them like evil wolves to oppose the revision of Qin's rule. If they gritted their teeth and agreed to this matter, they would probably be cursed and isolated by the officials below.

The two looked at each other and saw the difficulties in each other's eyes.

Logically speaking, one of these two men is the head of the three men and the other is the family of Mrs. Ying Gao. Ying Gao should not be unable to get along with them, but Ying Gao also knows that if you can't put some serious medicine from the root, you will never be able to correct this matter in your life, and the matter of the disciple is such a thing.

What is the emperor's intention?

This question is the biggest problem that Feng Quji and Meng Yi were thinking about. After this period of silence, Meng Yi's face gradually relaxed, because he found that no matter what he thought, Ying Gao's matter should definitely not be directed at him and Feng Quji.

After thinking about this, Meng Yi's biggest question became whether he should give up his disciples directly. Finally, he made his own choice.

In the end, under the gaze of Ying Gao and nearly a hundred people in the court, Meng Yi took the lead in front of Ying Gao.

Seeing Meng Yi who finally stood up, many officials below showed a smile. They were ready. Once Meng Yi said something doubtful, they would all stand up and discuss it. The amendment of Qin's laws is a big deal. No matter how much Ying Gao said it in the court on weekdays, if most of the officials opposed this matter, he should never do it.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say about this."

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

...

As soon as Meng Yi left, twenty or thirty people followed him out, and there were still more and more situations.

"Grandmaster, let's talk first!" Ying Gao was not panicked when he saw this situation, but signaled to Meng Yi to speak first. Meng Yi looked back at the officials following him, with a hint of smile on his face, and finally spoke.

"There are many disciples in Yi's mansion. Since the revision of Qin's rule today has become a foregone conclusion, Yi is willing to list the guests in our mansion in this court. After that, the resignation of soldiers in our mansion will be conducted in our mansion and place these people separately!"

What? This shouldn’t be the remark of the Taiwei?

As soon as Meng Yi said this, the dozens of people following him were a little confused at that time. They were already ready to oppose this matter, so they waited for Meng Yi to take up the banner of opposition first. However, they did not expect that when Meng Yi said this, he not only did not oppose this matter, but instead poured a lot of oil on the fire.

"Okay! It's rare that the Taiwei supports this matter. He is really a role model for my Great Qin! But what do the princes behind the Taiwei have to say, so why don't you say it quickly?"

After a simple praise of Meng Yi, when Ying Gao put his eyes behind, his smile had turned from a smile to a fierce and fierce wolf.

Ying Gao naturally knew what these two-faced guys wanted to do before. He originally thought that after the rectification in the court before, the quality of the officials had been greatly improved, but just such a matter of a disciple made many people appear in front of Ying Gao.

In fact, although Ying Gao had prepared for this matter before, deep down he still couldn't figure out what it was for.

If you were born in troubled times, it would be understandable to raise some servants to guard your mansions and homes. However, under the governance of Ying Gao, the safety factor of the Qin Dynasty has been rising steadily, especially in Xianyang City. As long as you are not like Lu Jia before, you are afraid of many people who are anxious to jump over the wall, your safety can definitely be preserved in Xianyang City.

Therefore, for these people, the disciples are basically useless except for showing off. In this case, they still completely disregard Ying Gao's determination to change Qin's rules and the benefits that this can bring to the Qin Dynasty in order to protect the possibility of their disciples. This really made Ying Gao feel a little bit disgusted with Ying Gao's determination to change Qin's rules.

But these people have always felt quite good about themselves. When they saw Meng Yi saying this, even if the banner fell and the banner had arrived, they naturally would not regard themselves as a new banner. So, I don’t know who said something later: “Your Majesty, what I think in my heart is like the Grand Marshal!”

Although these words were good words, Ying Gao always felt like he was about to cry after he said this person. But immediately afterwards, there was a lot of echoes behind him. Everyone expressed that they were willing to sacrifice their families to fully support the Qin Dynasty's Qin law reform.

At this time, even if this matter was successful, Ying Gao couldn't laugh. This time, he issued a new policy and revised Qin law. Although the setbacks encountered in the court were not very big, Ying Gao knew that the biggest setback was not originally in the court.

However, this incident made Ying Gao discover a more huge problem, that is, the Qin Dynasty's court, in other words, the center of power of the Qin Dynasty. Almost all decisions of all sizes of Da Qin were first issued here, but there were a lot of people standing here. In addition to the key positions above the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers and several generals who could really fight, the dozens of people on them were actually profit-oriented and competing for power. This made Ying Gao think about it and feel that he was a very failure of the emperor.

Alas! This is just a wave of failure and another wave of failure!

Ying Gao sighed in his heart, but he also knew that after just issuing this new policy and Qin laws that might have shaken the entire Qin Dynasty, it is impossible to make any major changes to the Qin Dynasty at least in the short term.

Otherwise, he, as an emperor, would be very likely to become a commander with his own bottom line. However, he knew that these officials in the court, even the people of the Qin Dynasty, had their bottom line. No matter who they were, once the bottom line was broken, then what he did would definitely be something that no one could imagine.

However, Ying Gao's face was still full of red light. At least that day, he was successful. So Ying Gao asked the Zhu family to take a team of guards, while registering the information of the guests provided by these people, and while taking Qin Lu directly to the mansion of these people to recruit the guests.
