Chapter 241 The man watching the show [please subscribe]

The next morning, the four gates of Xianyang were wide open.

Pedestrians who have already been waiting at the city gate have lined up in a long line and are undergoing strict inspection before entering and exiting the city gate.

However, before the city gate started to let people pass through, both sides of the road into the city were already lined with colorful flags fluttering in the wind.

Everyone was surprised to see so many colorful flags, thinking that some grand ceremony was going to be held.

But when they saw the words on the colorful flags, many people gathered around.

Then, a soldier who had already received professional training took a special loudspeaker and shouted loudly under the colorful flag:

"Do you want to get rich overnight?"

"Do you want to counterattack in life and reach the top?"

"Do you want to sit in a luxurious carriage, hug each other, and enjoy fine wine and beauties?"

"Wake up, stop thinking! There is everything in your dreams!"

"Are you desperate?"

"Just despair!"

"If you want to change your destiny, if you want your dreams to come true, then come and try your luck!"

"Da Qin Patriotic Lottery, don't miss it if you pass by. The first official ticket sales point in the east gate of Xianyang is waiting for you to make money!"

"Each bet only costs one and a half taels, and you can win up to one hundred taels of gold!"

"That's right! You heard it right, it's one hundred yi gold. One and a half taels can earn one hundred yi gold. What are you waiting for?!"

"Specially launched by the Prime Minister's Palace of the Great Qin Dynasty, the court's credibility is guaranteed, and no one can be deceived. The lottery will be drawn an hour before the city gates close every day. The winners can go to the Prime Minister's Palace the next day to redeem their prizes!"

"Don't hesitate, don't worry, give it a try and the donkey cart will turn into a horse carriage!"

"Just one and a half taels can be exchanged for one hundred yi gold!"

"Specially launched by the Prime Minister's Office of the Great Qin Dynasty, the credibility of the imperial court is guaranteed, and children and old men are not deceived."

Waves of shouts filled the entire four gates of Xianyang City. Both the literate and illiterate old Qin people and the people of the Six Kingdoms were stunned by the shouts.

For more than a hundred years, the people of the Qin Dynasty have never seen this kind of scene. In the past, there was a businessman who was a disciple of Mu Lixin, and in the later, there was Lu Buwei, who made a fortune. Both of them have become legends that the people of the old Qin talk about.

Especially Tumu Lixin, both the listener and the speaker will sigh at the end;

"If you move a tree and get a hundred gold, the grace of Shang Jun will no longer be seen!"

Unexpectedly, today's patriotic lottery ticket was so well done.

The Lord of Shang established trust in the people and made the people trust the court.

The people of the old Qin Dynasty were originally dull and thick-headed, but after Shang Jun's reform, their faith in the imperial court became even more real.

As long as everything involves the imperial court, the people of Lao Qin have always been prudent, and there is no such heated discussion as the people of the Six Kingdoms.

When Xunzi entered the Qin Dynasty, he had many emotions, among which two sentences were the most appropriate:

'The people have ancient customs, and the officials have a public spirit.'

If they want to make the people listen to one side of the story and doubt the imperial court, the old Qin people themselves have to think carefully.

Today's patriotic lottery does not look like a piece of cake, nor does it look like a thousand pieces of gold. It is better to be careful.

Things in the world are sometimes very strange.

If the propaganda soldiers did not talk about the Prime Minister's Palace, the old Qin people would still want to have fun and see it as a surprise. But when the propaganda soldiers mentioned the imperial court as a guarantee, some people were immediately eager to try.

"Where can I buy tickets? Come down here!"

Suddenly there was a loud noise, and the crowd started to cheer and move out of the way.

At the same time, inside Xianyang Qilin Hall.

At this time, the First Emperor's last court meeting before his eastward tour was being held.

After the flood in Dongjun was resolved, the atmosphere in the DPRK became relatively relaxed.

Ying Zheng sat high on the dragon chair made of golden nanmu, quietly listening to the report from the minister below, and remained silent.

"Your Majesty, at the turn of spring and summer last year, there was a sudden earthquake in the two counties of Longxi and Beidi. Subsequently, the two counties suffered from successive disasters. There was no harvest in summer and autumn, the fields were barren and withered, and numerous cattle and sheep were killed and injured.

In addition, the Qiang and Xiongnu invaded the territory, and a large number of refugees continued to pour into Guanzhong. We urgently need to allocate a batch of grain seeds to settle them during the busy spring plowing this year!"

Feng Quji stood up and said slowly.

"Um."

Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the dragon throne, nodded slightly: "I have already handed over the preparation of money and food to the right prime minister."

As he said this, he subconsciously shouted: "Wang Wan!"

"."

The whole place was silent and no one responded.

Ying Zheng frowned, looked around, and said with some confusion, "Where is Wang Wan?"

Hearing that Ying Zheng called Wang Wan twice, but no one answered, the ministers couldn't help but turn their heads to where Wang Wan should have been standing, and looked at each other, looking at each other.

"Meng Yi!"

Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the dragon chair, shouted loudly.

If you can't find Wang Wan, you are right to look for Meng Yi.

After all, as a doctor, Meng Yi was mainly in charge of the palace. He knew exactly which ministers came to court and which ministers did not come to court.

At this time, Meng Yi stood up from the right side and saluted Ying Zheng respectfully.

Ying Zheng interrupted him impatiently and said directly: "I ask you, why did the old prime minister not come to court today?"

"this"

Meng Yi looked embarrassed.

I said in my heart that I am not Wang Wan's personal attendant. He didn't even enter the palace gate. How do I know why he didn't come?

Although the Meng family had a close relationship with Wang Wan, Meng Yi really didn't know what Wang Wan was doing.

"Reporting to your majesty, the old prime minister has come up with some kind of Da Qin patriotic lottery ticket, which is on sale at the east gate of Xianyang. Today is the first day of sale."

Meng Yi said, as if he had some understanding, and speculated: "I think the old prime minister should be in charge of the overall situation personally, so he didn't come to court!"

Good guy!

You, Wang Wan, are too naughty!

It was just a mess before. After all, Li Si is better than you. Now it’s better. You didn’t even ask for leave in the previous court?

Although His Majesty did not ask you to retire and return home, and asked you to stay in Xianyang and preside over the government after his eastward tour, you can't be so arrogant, right?

Your Majesty hasn’t left yet!

As if affected by the dissatisfaction below, Ying Zheng's face suddenly darkened.

He knew without thinking that this so-called Great Qin Patriotic Lottery must have been created by that boy Zhao Hao again!

Sure enough, the moment Meng Yi finished speaking, Feng Jie, the imperial censor who was supervising all officials, stood up angrily: "Your Majesty, the etiquette must not be abolished!"

"Although Wang Wan has made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty, he cannot be arrogant about it. What's more, Wang Wan is the right prime minister and the head of the officials. He should set an example. If everyone follows his example, wouldn't it be a mess of court etiquette?"

"Your Majesty is about to tour the east. All the affairs of the court, big and small, must be managed by Wang Wan. If Wang Wan behaves like this, how can he clean up the court system, make the government orders clear, and make the officials manage the Qingming Dynasty?"

After finishing speaking, he paused and said righteously:

"Therefore, I believe that etiquette cannot be abolished!"

As soon as the words fell, the whole place was in an uproar.

Feng Jie's discussion is sonorous, powerful and shocking.

Feng Quji, standing at the front on the left, smiled bitterly and shook his head, remaining silent.

Although Feng Jie is his son, Feng Jie's character is not as deep as his, so Feng Jie stood up to impeach Wang Wan, but he did not agree with it in his heart.

Because once Wang Wan steps down, there is a high probability that he will go further.

But it is not in his interest to go further like this.

After all, there are many veterans of the empire behind Wang Wan.

Going further like this will only make him the target of public criticism, and the gains outweigh the losses.

But everything Feng Jie said made sense. Even if he wanted to clear up the relationship between father and son and say a few good words to Wang Wan, he couldn't do anything.

"Well, what Feng Aiqing said is true!"

Ying Zheng nodded calmly, then looked down and said solemnly: "Come here, find the old prime minister, and tell me that it is my order. No matter what happens, report it to the court!"
