冯去疾 / Feng Quji

冯去疾 / Feng Quji enters the wiki through Qinji 127-3 as a Qin minister named in the 《赵正书》 account of 秦始皇’s final succession discussion. In that version, he appears with 李斯 near the dying emperor and helps argue that the court should establish the nearby 胡亥 / 秦二世 rather than summon a broader discussion from far away.

The page is source-scoped because the episode itself flags Feng Quji as a difficulty. The host says his presence in the deathbed scene is hard to reconcile with the expectation that he was at 咸阳, and leaves the contradiction unresolved rather than forcing a harmonized narrative.

For the wiki, Feng Quji matters as a marker of the 《赵正书》 variant. If he is present, Hu Hai’s establishment looks more like 临终就近立储 by senior ministers; if he is not, the alternate account loses one of the voices that makes the decision look procedurally collective.

Qinji 130-4 gives Feng Quji a later, less source-problematic court role. As right chancellor, he joins left chancellor 李斯 and general 冯劫 / 冯杰 in warning 胡亥 / 秦二世 that rebellion is worsening while 阿房宫 construction, taxes, and frontier rotations keep burdening the population.

The episode presents the advice as loyal burden reduction, but Hu Hai reads it as a failure of the three senior officials and orders them jailed. Feng Quji therefore shifts from a contested accession-witness in Qinji 127-3 to a concrete example of high ministerial remonstrance failing under Hu Hai’s captured court.

Key Claims

  • Feng Quji is named in the alternate source tradition, not in the previously ingested forged-edict account.
  • His function in the episode is ministerial validation for a nearby-heir emergency choice.
  • His contested location makes him a source-critical warning, not a settled biographical anchor.
  • Qinji 130-4 makes him a right chancellor who joins Li Si and Feng Jie in a practical remonstrance against construction and corvee burdens, then is imprisoned.
