He was regretful, but he didn't know why.
Now, it was not just a matter of regret.
He might not even be able to keep his life.
All the officials and nobles in the court were so glorious and glorious.
But now, they were either killed or imprisoned.
Xianyang City fell into panic.
This was a shocking change.
Wasn't it the karmic sin that they had committed at that time?
It was already late at night.
Feng Quji didn't feel sleepy. He held the pen and felt extremely frustrated.
At this moment, an old servant outside the door said,""Prime Minister, someone from outside the estate requests an audience!"
Feng Quji took a pen and glanced at Feng Jie.
He was very vexed.
"It's late at night. Who is so polite?”
Although it was already a disaster.
Although he knew that Wang Jian's army was already killing people from house to house.
It was Feng Quji's turn.
As the Prime Minister, he still had to follow etiquette.
"This man handed over an invitation," said the old servant,"saying that the Prime Minister will know when he sees it."”
Feng Quji asked Feng Jie to bring the invitation over.
He raised it under the dim candlelight and his expression changed.
"Quickly enter the inner hall!"
Feng Quji sat in the inner hall, waiting anxiously and nervously.
The words 'Old Friend of the Nine Plains' on the door card, he had even forgotten about the impending calamity.
The person who was invited into the inner hall was none other than Meng Tian.
Meng Tian and Feng Quji had known each other since their early years.
The two of them had similar interests and became good friends.
Now that she knew that her good friend Feng Quji was about to die, Meng Tian could not help but come to take a look.
At this moment, Meng Tian was covered in a black robe.
He even wore a thick bamboo hat on his head.
When he opened it.
He only had a worried expression on his face.
"General Meng, tonight might be the last time we meet.”
Meng Tian put her bamboo hat aside.
He sighed.
"Prime Minister, oh Prime Minister, how could you be so muddle-headed to get involved in such a matter?”
Feng Quji laughed.
He didn't have the melancholy of dying at all.
Instead, it felt like relief.
"With your word, Meng Tian, this old man will be satisfied even if I die immediately.”
"It's a pity that there isn't any good wine in the mansion right now. Otherwise, I would definitely get drunk with General Meng.”
" Prime Minister, oh Prime Minister, this is not the battlefield. This is not the time for us to express our feelings. If you have any matters to attend to, you can tell me. Meng Tian will definitely help you.”
"What about the funeral?" Feng Quji stroked his beard. There was nothing else. Isn't it all about that?"
"If I can let my descendants inherit the remaining wealth in the family and let them live without worry in the future, it will be enough for this old man's life.”
"As for whether my son Feng Jie can escape this calamity, that will depend on his luck.”
"The revolution that His Majesty has initiated this time indeed deserves to be witnessed with some blood. It's just a pity that this old man won't be able to see Great Qin prosper under the governance of His Majesty and the Imperial Advisor.”
"But now that I think about it, I regret it.”
"If I could understand the good intentions of His Majesty and the Imperial Tutor as soon as possible, I would not have ended up like this today.”
Meng Tian stopped him." Prime Minister, stop talking. It's not your fault. Everyone is using you as a shield to fight back. You are also being pushed forward by everyone. I know this.”
"Since the Prime Minister doesn't have much to do, let's not talk about those sad things today. I'm here to take one last look at you.”
The two of them were very honest and not so pretentious.
Therefore, the two of them only talked about the past.
They talked about daily life, views on government, life, the court, and the people.
They chatted about the scenery.
In any case, he did not talk about being wronged, wronged, or anything else.
Feng Quji understood.
He did not feel wronged at all.
He had to bear the consequences for doing this.
After Meng Tian left, a white silk was hung on the beam.
The Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty hung himself on the beam and left.
In the end, he wrote down all his crimes.
He was prepared to let his son hand it in.
Feng Jie was also a well-known man.
In his early years, he and Meng Tian had actually gone to the battlefield together to kill enemies.
But now, he could only write down his crimes one by one under his father's corpse.
Then, it formed a memorial.
This was a confession.
As he listened to Meng Tian and his father's conversation, he realized that he had indeed done something wrong.
It stopped His Majesty's determination to change.
However, it was already too late to wake up now.
The next morning.
The originally full court was now empty.
Those were the seats of the nobles who had been purged last night.
Just by looking at the court, one could tell how serious the purge last night had been.
Everyone's eyes turned red.
When had such a huge change ever happened?
Ancestral Dragon looked at the briefing.
As well as the inventory of Wang Jian's family wealth that he found in the end.
The Ancestral Dragon closed his eyes and did not look at the bottom.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
At this moment, Feng Jie stood out from the ranks.
"Report!"
"Your Majesty, my father committed suicide last night. My father entrusted me to submit this crime to Your Majesty.”
"At the same time, my father has also entrusted me with a message.”
The Ancestral Dragon was not a heartless person.
He understood that Feng Quji was indeed a talent for the imperial court.
However, in the face of change, this was the only way to implement it.
Hence, he nodded in pain.
"Speak!"
Feng Jie said with tears in his eyes," My father said that it was his fault for obstructing His Majesty from distributing the land. He wants to see His Majesty and Imperial Preceptor working together to push Great Qin to prosperity.”
As he spoke, Feng Jie knelt on the ground and raised his memorial high.
"Your Majesty, I was lucky enough to escape last night. However, I have written my confession and am willing to follow my father.”
Ancestral Dragon closed his eyes and asked the eunuch to bring over the confession memorial.
He took a look at the two memorials.
Then, he put it down gently.
Feng Jie said again," Your Majesty, my father was muddle-headed for a moment. Although my father has committed suicide, I am willing to bear all the blame for my father."”
Ancestral Dragon held the memorial.
After hearing Feng Jie's words, he choked.
The Feng family had made an indelible contribution to Great Qin's foundation.
However, he had no choice but to make this decision.
He gently put down the memorial.
