Chapter 364 Proposal, Great Loyal Minister?

The proud expression on Xiaomeng's face froze, and she looked at Yingxi in disbelief.

I thought what she said was an undercurrent that was hard to notice.

Unexpectedly, Ying Xi had arranged everything!

This is incredible too!
Ying Xi smiled slightly, Qi State is of course one of his goals.

Just want to win Qi, the best route is naturally to attack through Yanzhao.

But now, the big purge of Yanzhao is not only for maintaining stability, but also for Qiguo to prepare for it!
Even Li Si and Cao Changqing didn't see through this meaning!
But this point has long been in Ying Xi's plan!
In the 21st year of Qin Wangzheng, the eighteenth day of the first lunar month.

This day is the beginning of spring every year, where sacrificial activities are held.

Similarly, this day is also a day for divination by those who like to play with superstitions.

After burning books and deceiving people, even if some people still believed in those superstitions, no one dared to reveal it.

Those who occasionally used this trick to fool people on weekdays also kept their mouths tightly closed on this day, for fear of uttering one or two words that would kill them.

The folks are unusually quiet, but in the early court, there are turbulent winds and clouds.

The topic of the morning court today is the Spring Festival Sacrifice.

Tai Chang, who was in charge of the ancestral temple rituals and sacrifices, couldn't wait to stand up before the voice of going to court fell.

"Your Highness, I have something to play!"

"Speak." Ying Xi said lightly.

"His Royal Highness, today is the time for spring sacrifices. According to past practice, His Majesty and all His Highnesses should be present."

"His Royal Highness is still in a coma, and being unable to attend is an irresistible factor. However, Eldest Prince Fusu and your Highness are still in Xianyang."

"Especially Eldest Prince Fusu, he should stand aside as his deputy to help His Highness."

Taichang finished what he wanted to say in one breath, and then took two deep breaths to stabilize his breath.

Just after Taichang finished speaking, several adjutants standing beside him who were in charge of offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple also stood up.

"Your Highness, what Tai Chang said is very true, and the ministers also feel the same way."

"Besides, as the eldest son, as a deputy, if he doesn't have a suitable identity, I'm afraid it won't be good."

"If I offend my ancestors, I, Daqin, can't bear it if I blame him."

"Exactly! And after restoring the status of the eldest son, the people of the world must think that His Royal Highness is as magnanimous as possible, and can use the eldest son regardless of the past. The eldest son must also be grateful!"

A group of people are talking in a hurry, but all the meanings have only one ultimate purpose.

Reuse Fusu again!

These people were talking when suddenly an old but very clear voice sounded.

"The old minister thought it should be like this!"

Ying Xi followed the voice, and found that the person who spoke was an old minister with white beard and hair, and even a little old.

But as soon as this person opened his mouth, the ministers who were noisy just now immediately quieted down.

Looking at the old minister's eyes, he was full of excitement.

The identity of this old minister is not ordinary!
The name of this person is Gu Huan, and his official position is not high, only the third rank.

And now because of his advanced age, it is only a false name now.

But even so, no one in the hall dared to underestimate this person.

It's not how powerful this person is, but that this person has a great reputation among the people!

At the beginning, when Gu Huan was still a county magistrate, the local area encountered a severe drought and there was no grain harvest.

Officials in other disaster-stricken places ate and drank themselves, so they naturally ignored the people and pretended not to see them.

However, Gu Huan, regardless of the obstruction of the local nobles, risked his life to open a warehouse to release grain.

He even ate and slept with the victims every day.Not only that, after seeing that the people had no water to drink, they went out to dig wells under the scorching sun every day.

In this era, there are no high-tech devices.

But Gu Huan dug thirteen wells abruptly with his hands!

The reason why thirteen wells were dug was because there was a water source in the No.13 well.

But no one doubts that if there is no water in the No.13 well, then Gu Huan will definitely continue to dig the No.14 well!

until there is water!

For this trip, the common people are naturally grateful to Gu Huan.

It is said that every commoner who got water from that well went to kowtow to Gu Huan to thank him.

The news spread throughout Daqin, those thirteen wells immediately became Gu Huan's most dazzling achievement!

At that time, Qin Wang Yingzheng, after hearing about this incident, also exclaimed that it was incredible, and summoned Gu Huan.

After that, Gu Huan seemed to be on a rocket, and within a few years, he stepped from a local magistrate to the main hall of Xianyang Palace.

Ying Xi had heard of this, of course.

It's just that before that, Ying Xi thought that such a person who was dedicated to the country and the people would not participate in the open and secret struggles above the court.

Unexpectedly, Gu Huan was also not exempt.

However, before that, Ying Xi needs to figure out what Gu Huan's real intention is.

Thinking in his heart, Ying Xi had already walked down, came to Gu Huan, and helped him up.

"Gu Aiqing, please hurry up, Gu Aiqing's name, His Highness has already heard of Gu Aiqing's name when I was still a playboy."

After receiving Ying Xi's praise, Gu Huan burst into tears immediately: "Your Highness..."

Ying Xi raised his hand to stop Gu Huan, but said sincerely: "If I, an official of Daqin, can have half of Gu Aiqing's character, why does the prince need to do it again and again?"

When he said this, Ying Xi's eyes seemed to look around.

The minister who was seen felt a burst of panic in his heart, and was so frightened that he quickly knelt down.

"The ministers are responsible for the entrustment of His Highness, please His Highness the Crown Prince punish him!"

Punishment?

Ying Xi sneered in his heart.

What these people say is extremely beautiful, but I'm afraid they don't think so at all in their hearts.

These ministers have already been recorded in Ying Xi's mind, and they will be dealt with one day.

But now is not the time to deal with them.

Sighing, Ying Xi continued: "If you can all be like Gu Aiqing, how can my Great Qin be called a tyrant?"

The ministers bowed their heads again: "The ministers deserve death for their crimes!"

Ying Xi directly ignored another performance by the ministers. These people, every moment of their actions, were interpreting what it meant to be a man who would not kill himself.

"The humble name of the old minister can be heard by His Highness. The old minister is very honored. This life is worth it!"

Gu Huan was excited again, trembling all over.

Ying Xi was even afraid that Gu Huan would die suddenly on the spot.

Fortunately, although Gu Huan is old, but his body is still strong, he paused for a while and then said: "Your Highness, the old minister feels that what Tai Chang and others said just now is extremely correct."

"When the eldest son is restored, let him participate in the sacrifice with other highnesses!"

Ying Xi didn't seem to hear the last two words of Gu Huan, turned back to the throne, glanced at the ministers below, his face was full of disappointment.
