"Meng Qing, how long has it been since you went to Shangjun? Have you learned anything…"
He didn't directly appoint the other party to his position. As he spoke, Ying Che's gaze shifted to the right.
"Your Majesty, it has been more than four years since I gave up literature and went to martial arts. I have learned the principles of a soldier…"
"Soldiers should expand their territory and repel all enemies. The battlefield is the best home.”
Meng Tian didn't use any fancy words. She sat on the spot and cupped her hands, answering in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"What do you and Imperial Brother think of the long line of defense at the Great Wall?”
Hearing this, Ying Che paused for a moment and slowly said.
Since he wanted to form the initial civil and military team, he would definitely not appoint any mediocre people.
"Your Majesty, I believe that we should take the initiative to attack the frontier. Using cavalry against cavalry is the fundamental way to solve the problem in the north.”
Meng Yi didn't reply immediately. Instead, he said after some consideration.
This was a conclusion that he had painstakingly come up with after his elder brother's strict teachings and many years of military life.
"That's right. Meng Yi is relatively calm and has a basic strategic vision.”
It was more common in the later generations, but now, using cavalrymen against cavalrymen was a new concept. Ying Che nodded slightly, confirming what he had just said.
"Your Majesty, I hold the opposite opinion. The best policy is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”
"With the help of etiquette, we can avoid an unnecessary military disaster.”
After hesitating for a moment, Fu Su looked at his sixth brother, who was the emperor. In the end, he still insisted on his idea and said directly.
"Military affairs are military affairs. They are either on the way to attack or preparing for the next battle. Why would the other party obey any enlightenment?”
Meng Yi was stunned when he heard that. He looked at Fu Su strangely.
" I'm deeply influenced by the left wing of Confucianism. I've lost my own subjective thinking and can't be of much use…"
Hearing this, Ying Che frowned slightly. He had completely lost his patience with his Imperial Brother Fu Su.
It wasn't that Confucianism was useless, but that they needed to retain a certain amount of thinking and add in the checks and balance of Legalism in order to be effective.
Great Qin's martial spirit and determination to forge ahead could not be destroyed because of this.
"Minister Meng, from today onwards, you will be the commander of the Imperial Army of the North Yamen. Do not disappoint me.”
Many emotions flashed through his mind. Ying Che thought for a moment and then gave an order.
"See, this subject will definitely not disappoint the emperor.”
Using a verbal order to appoint him to a position was no different from taking the initial step in power. Meng Yi could not help but be shocked and hurriedly replied.
Even for the talented and bold First Emperor, it was still difficult for him to take over the power in such a short period of time.
"As for Imperial Brother, go to Fengchang to take on the position of chief clerk. There is no need to return to Shangjun.”
Ying Che looked at Fu Su on the left and said indifferently.
"Good, good…"
Fu Su heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Tian Zi did not intend to kill him.
The shadow brought by the 19th brother Huhai was still lingering. No one wanted to get involved in the sensitive politics of the throne.
"A complete Qingshui Yamen without any power, and the First Prince has been properly arranged.”
After hearing the emperor's arrangement, Meng Yi finally understood why the emperor could appoint people verbally.
After all, the First Prince was one of Great Qin's two heroes, and he had been sent to Shangjun by the Divine Ancestor First Emperor. This was a test of his ability to adapt at the last minute.
"Later, Zhen will inform the Left and Right Prime Ministers.”
Ying Che waved his hand and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Seeing this, Meng Yi and Fu Su stood up and bowed before leaving the Hall of Political Establishment.
"Look, this is the bamboo slip that His Majesty used to appoint Meng Yi and the First Prince.”
In the yamen that was known as the center of power, Wang Wan picked up a bamboo scroll and said.
"Lord Wang, why don't you read it out?”
Feng Quji, Wei Liao, and the others were not the only ones curious about how Tian Zi handled the situation. Even Li Si was no exception.
Meng Yi was Meng Tian's younger brother, and he had a lot of military merits. It was not good to arrange a low position, and it would not be able to convince the masses if it was high.
As for the former First Prince, Fu Su, he was one of the people that the Holy Ancestor First Emperor valued. If he didn't handle it properly, it would definitely make all the officials in the court feel disappointed.
"General Meng was appointed as the commander of the Imperial Army of the North Yamen, and the original First Prince was appointed as Fengchang's secretary.”
After obtaining the agreement of most people, Wang Wan opened the bamboo slips and stood in the middle to read them one by one.
"With Meng Yi's military achievements, he is qualified to be a general of the Northern Yamen's Imperial Army.”
In his mind, Meng Yi's battle record appeared. Li Xin smiled. Overall, it was quite reasonable.
"The power of the position of Chief Secretary is not great, and there is not much profit to be gained. This is exactly in line with the First Prince's style of handling matters.”
Feng Quji was stunned when he finished speculating. Tian Zi's arrangement was flawless.
The First Prince, Fu Su, focused on literature. Even if he had some reputation among the people, it was impossible for him to directly serve as a minister. The position of the main secretary was neither high nor low.
"By cleverly arranging for First Prince Fusu, as an official, he naturally wouldn't feel sad about the death of the rabbit, and it saved him a huge hidden danger.”
After hearing the brilliant arrangement, Li Si agreed with it and nodded.
Staying in the Fengchang Yamen as a bookkeeper was no different from being completely isolated, but no one could find fault with it.
"In the future, all military and political matters will be conveyed to His Majesty in the Administrative Hall.”
After pausing for a moment, Feng Quji announced as the Right Prime Minister.
The current situation in the court was gradually becoming clearer. The influence of the Jizi (early moon) fresh incident would definitely give the emperor a lot of support, so it was better to take advantage of the situation.
"Prime Minister Feng is right, I agree.”
The smile on Li Si's face grew wider. He was really not afraid that Feng Quji would not announce it.
"Even Feng Quji had no choice but to make concessions. His Majesty's path to power is truly unstoppable.”
Hearing the conversation between Feng Quji and Li Si, the rest of the civil and military officials were filled with emotions. It had only been a short while since the emperor ascended the throne.
