Chapter 413
"Oh? I don't know what kind of surprise it is?"
Su Xuan was very curious, what kind of surprise could Ying Zheng give him?
Ying Zheng smiled mysteriously: "Mr. Su will know in a while!"
Su Xuan looked at Ying Zheng and didn't say much.
Time passed, and many days passed.
I don't know if Ying Zheng sent the Shadow Secret Guard to investigate the reality of the Net.
During this period, almost every day, there was a morning meeting. After the Qin State unified the world, for the officials of the Qin State, it can be said that there were countless big and small things.
On this day's morning meeting.
After many civil and military officials gathered, Ying Zheng did not let them discuss the new policy, but ordered the eunuch to read an imperial edict.
"Su Xuan, the leader of the Yin-Yang School, has a profound Daoist method and is a true immortal in the world. Since he entered Qin, he has made many strange achievements. Now he is specially appointed as the National Teacher of Great Qin..." *** ### CHAPTER 671: Those Who Seek Their Own Death!
As soon as this imperial edict came out, it immediately caused an uproar among many ministers.
Before this, there was no so-called National Teacher in the Qin State, but from this title, it is not difficult to imagine what a National Teacher is. To put it simply, it is a teacher of a country. Besides that, in this imperial edict, Ying Zheng gave Su Xuan various privileges, such as status equal to the emperor, no need to bow when seeing the emperor, seeing Su Xuan is like seeing His Majesty the Emperor, and allowing him to open a mansion, granting him a fief, and other measures, all of which undoubtedly pushed the position of National Teacher to a very high status.
After this imperial edict was spread, ministers immediately stood out.
"Please think twice, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
"In our Qin State, there has never been a position of National Teacher. Although a National Teacher has no military or political power, as a teacher of a country, his status is respected. How can it be easily added?"
It was not just one person who stood out, nor was it just two people.
After Ying Zheng's imperial edict, they appeared to be impassioned and resolutely opposed it.
Listening to their opposition, Ying Zheng's gaze gradually became cold, looking at these people as if they were dead people.
"According to your meaning, is Mr. Su not worthy of this position of National Teacher?"
Cold words came from Ying Zheng's mouth. Many people realized that something was wrong and chose to shut their mouths, but there were still some people who resolutely opposed it. In their words, it was nothing more than that the position of National Teacher was no small matter and could not be easily added. At the same time, they also implicitly mentioned some Su Xuan, and the hidden meaning was that Su Xuan was "not worthy of the position," had no so-called talent, and even if he had powerful strength, he could not easily serve as the National Teacher.
"I have made up my mind, you all stop talking!"
Ying Zheng listened to these people's words and became more and more irritable, and said coldly again, all their voices were covered by him, and this matter was considered to have come to an end.
Even if some people were still dissatisfied, Ying Zheng's imperial edict had already been issued, and it was impossible to change it.
In this way, without Su Xuan accepting the appointment on the hall, because of Ying Zheng's imperial edict, he became the National Teacher of the Qin State, with a transcendent status.
After the morning meeting dispersed.
Those officials who opposed Su Xuan becoming the National Teacher left in groups, and the other officials also dispersed.
"Junior Brother Li Si, I don't know how you view today's matter~~?"
Han Fei came to his junior brother Li Si and asked him.
"What does Senior Brother want to say?" Li Si's appearance looked much older than Han Fei, which was not strange. His age was indeed older than Han Fei, and the reason he was a junior brother was only because he started late.
This situation is similar to the Guigu brothers. Wei Zhuang among the Guigu brothers is older than Ge Nie, but because of the time of entry, he can only call Ge Nie senior brother.
"About His Majesty the Emperor appointing Su Xuan as the National Teacher!"
Han Fei did not believe that his junior brother Li Si really didn't understand what he was asking.
Li Si's gaze flickered slightly, and he said coldly: "Seeking his own death!"
"Yes, there are always some people who can't see the situation clearly and want to find death themselves." Han Fei sighed with a complex tone.
Li Si said coldly again: "Senior Brother is a little reluctant?"
Han Fei said bluntly: "It is indeed a little unkind, after all, these people come from the Confucian School!"
"Even if they come from the Confucian School, they are asking for death, and it is their own fault, and it has nothing to do with us." Li Si saw it very clearly.
What he and Han Fei were talking about were the officials who stood up to oppose Ying Zheng after he read the imperial edict today.
Did they oppose Su Xuan becoming the National Teacher really because the position of National Teacher was no small matter and could not be easily granted to others?
Not so!
Before this, the Qin State had never had a National Teacher. Even if Ying Zheng wanted to add a National Teacher, it didn't matter, not to mention that the one who became the National Teacher was Su Xuan.
For the old ministers of the Qin State, Su Xuan's existence was never a secret. He had a transcendent status. Before this, although there was no title of National Teacher, in fact, it was no different from the National Teacher. Now, it was just because of the imperial edict that he had an extra title.
But some people couldn't see it clearly and wanted to stop Su Xuan from becoming the National Teacher.
This group of officials was the representative figure among them.
They stopped Su Xuan from becoming the National Teacher, not because Su Xuan was not worthy of the position, but because Su Xuan came from the Yin-Yang School.
And they came from the Confucian School.
A National Teacher is a teacher of a country, with a transcendent status. How can a person from the Yin-Yang School serve as it? Even if there really is a National Teacher, it should be served by a person from the Confucian School, which is a prominent school.
This is their idea, and Han Fei also knows their idea very well.
Watching these people seek their own death and anger Ying Zheng, he felt very painful, but he could do nothing.
Even when he and Su Xuan went to the Confucian School back then, Fu Nian of the Confucian School had already expressed his stance that the Confucian School had surrendered to the Qin State, but in the end, some people could not see the situation clearly and thought too highly of themselves.
The Qin State asked the Confucian School to surrender because the Qin State did not want to see a chaotic Confucian School, but it did not mean that the Qin State really needed the Confucian School and could not do without it. If the Confucian School did not know the current affairs, the Qin State would not mind destroying the Confucian School.
The initiative has been in the hands of the Qin State from the beginning.
But this group of Confucian officials did not think so. In their view, the Qin State's request for the Confucian School to attach itself is because the Confucian School has indispensable value to the Qin State, and their talent is something the Qin State cannot lack.
After the Confucian School surrendered to the Qin State, in order to show respect for the Confucian School, Ying Zheng appointed some officials from the Confucian School, which made them even more unable to see the situation clearly and even more arrogant.
In the view of the Confucian officials, the Legalist School is a group of eagle dogs. Although they helped the Qin State unify the world, they still need their Confucian School to govern this world.
Today's matter is just a small episode. On the surface, it is their resistance to Su Xuan becoming the National Teacher. In fact, it is their test, and they are expressing their dissatisfaction.
But some things cannot be tested easily.
A few days later, those officials who opposed Ying Zheng's appointment of Su Xuan as National Teacher in the court were dismissed from their official positions. If they were dismissed for no reason, it would be difficult to convince the public, but Ying Zheng produced solid evidence.
It can only be said that no one is perfect. As long as they are people, they will make mistakes.
If it were in the past, these mistakes might not be fatal, but at the moment, having offended Ying Zheng, these mistakes were found out, which was enough to make them lose their official positions.
They implicitly said that Su Xuan was "not worthy of the position," and Ying Zheng directly made them, who were "deficient in private morality," lose everything. *** ### CHAPTER 672: Those Who Are Clever!
