Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 174 Harmonious But Different! (seeking subscription)

Lama Temple.

It was late at night.

Fusu still looked at the bamboo slips at his desk, as if he had no intention of resting.

During this time, he felt very tired.

It's not that people are sleepy and tired.

is tired.

He also felt the difficulty of doing things for the first time.

In fact, he has participated in many political affairs in the past. He actually participated in various practical matters related to people's livelihood, such as the coin reform at the beginning of the founding of the country, population registration, land tax corvee, etc., but his participation at that time was not deep. Have a general understanding.

This shipwreck was not the case.

He is solely responsible.

Because of this, I deeply understand the difficulty of scheduling.

I felt the constraints from all sides.

He put the bamboo slips in his hand on the case, yawned rather sleepily, took a sip of the tea he begged from Ji Heng, and sighed long.

a long time.

He stood up from the table, put his hands behind his back, and went outside the hall.

Looking at the bright starry sky, my heart is very heavy.

He whispered: "The ancients said: 'You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others'. Back then, I thought that the ancients were not enlightened after all. Now that I have experienced these things, I understand the profound truth."

"Zhang Cang made it very clear that day."

"Where to stand will determine the final attitude of the major government offices on this matter, but I was negligent. I thought that as the eldest son, and was ordered to handle this matter, the major government offices should fully cooperate and do their best as before. to solve this problem.”

"But after all, I am shallow."

"I exposed my thoughts too early."

"So much so that the officials of these several government offices noticed that although they did not expressly oppose it, they were obviously much more passive than before, and even seriously slack."

"Although the refutation is well-founded, the root cause lies in Zhang Cang's 'different ways'!"

"This is the real court!"

Fu Su stood tall, looking at the sky from afar.

A little less idealistic, a little more calm and realistic.

He leaned on the railing quietly, letting the breeze blow his face and blow the ends of his hair, feeling filled with emotion.

When his thoughts cleared up a bit, he turned back to Gongyu.

Sitting at the table.

Fusu frowned, and muttered: "Power seeks power, and those in power seek power. The avenue is the foundation, and the power is used. There is no avenue, and there is no power. It is not until today that I deeply understand the meaning of these words."

"Harmony but difference, fighting without breaking."

"This is the imperial court."

"If you don't know the tricks, it will be difficult for you to take a single step in the court. I was too immature before, my understanding of this is too weak, and I am too self-righteous."

"Dharma, art, power, this is the way of power and strategy."

"Han Feizi felt this deeply, so he integrated the way of legalism into one body, and exhausted his life-long insight to uncover all the mysteries of power and strategy. He is not a man of power, but forging sharp weapons for legalists. .”

"In order to prevent Mingjun Liangchen, famous scholars and heroes from dying in the middle of the road because of lack of power and strategy."

"My previous view was too narrow."

He flipped through the bamboo slips from under the case, and picked up the "Han Feizi" that was once again dusty. He patted the dust on it with his hands, but he didn't open the bamboo slips, but just stared straight at it.

"The principles of power and strategy summarized in "Han Feizi" cannot be understood by reading books. Only by going deep into the vortex of power can we have a real understanding of it, and can use this to temper our own insight." Fusu said in a low voice. A few times.

finally.

He put down "Han Feizi".

This time, he did not put "Han Feizi" beside the case, but directly on the case.

Fu Su said softly: "In the past, I regarded the tactics of maneuvering as a conspiracy, but now I think it's funny, but it's a pity that I didn't understand the truth at that time, and even before I took charge, I was still full of ignorance about it. Disdain, but if you really put yourself in it, you will know the importance of strategy."

He opened a bamboo slip on the case and read it without distraction.

these days.

He wasn't having a good time.

Although he was not impeached by the courtiers by name, he has been pointed at secretly. He is no longer the young and impulsive person he used to be, so he can hear the voice of these officials.

The officials of Tingwei's Mansion, Shao's Mansion, and Zhisu Neishi's Mansion have often complained to themselves these days.

Some shirk their responsibilities, some complain that political affairs are too heavy, and some complain about their own inaction, which has caused their official offices to be scolded by the people.

All kinds here.

It all fell to him in the end.

He also felt heavy pressure for the first time.

The pressure is different than before.

The pressure he felt in the past was mostly from the things themselves, but this time the pressure came from the joint pressure of officials inside and outside the court. Although it was not stated clearly, the run on inside and outside the words was obvious.

He has been suffering a lot these days.

He had only just touched on political differences, and now he encountered such resistance. He could no longer imagine the pressure that Shi Huang faced with the courtiers due to major political differences in the past, and the constraints he would suffer.

I'm afraid it's even worse.

It can be seen that there are no trivial matters in the court.

After looking at the bamboo slips for a while, Fusu put down the rabbit hair brush in his hand, frowned and said, "At the beginning I still underestimated the impact of this matter, maybe it really shouldn't have Zhang Cang participate in this matter."

"Zhang Cang is a superior censor, and is not responsible for punishing officials. Now, because of my recklessness, Zhang Cang has endured a lot of pressure. Not only have I offended other censors in the Yushifu, but I have also offended the officials of the major government offices. Quite a few, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Zhang Cang to do things in the court in the future."

"Zhang Cang was originally disliked by the courtiers because of his size, and it may be even more difficult to be promoted after this incident."

"I really owe Zhang Cang."

But soon, Fusu's eyes became determined.

He knows.

Some things must be done.

If he had been dissuaded by so many people in the past, he would have given up and adopted the proposal of Du He and others, but now, after so many things have been tempered, his will has long since changed, and he has become incomparably changed. Be firm and never change.

He looked outside the hall and said loudly: "Wei Sheng, how is the situation in the city these few days?"

Wei Sheng said: "Return to your son."

"What the young master ordered, people have been sent to do it, and the news has been spread. After a few days, most people in the city know about it, but there are also many doubts and refutations. Generally speaking, the city People still trust the imperial court, and they also believe that the imperial court can solve the matter by taking action."

"It's just that the time for spring plowing is getting closer, and the emotions at the bottom have obviously become restless again."

"Young master, look"

Fu Su nodded slightly, and said, "I have my own idea about this matter."

"Yes." Wei Sheng said.

Wei Sheng looked at the sky, his eyes were full of worry and he said: "Young Master, it's getting late now, it's time to rest, Young Master has been working so hard for several days."

"The minister is worried."

Fu Su frowned, and said in displeasure: "What is this tiredness? Some things were caused by my carelessness, if I could do it at that time"

Halfway through the conversation, Fusu seemed to have thought of something, a shadow flashed across his face, he didn't say anything more, he just raised his arms and said: "Okay, that's it, I will go to rest when I really have to rest."

"You don't need to persuade me!"

Seeing Fusu get angry, Wei Sheng showed a look of fear, he was too timid to persuade him any more.

Fusu looked at the case again.

Looking at the documents presented by Shaofu and Tingweifu, there was a look of coldness in his eyes, and he said: "I really can't do anything about your current slack and lazy government, because you can always find reasons and excuses, but now the big The official office is no longer half a year ago."

"In the past six months, under Father's intentional control, the major government offices have promoted many officials."

"Many of them are newly promoted."

"If you don't do something, someone else will do it."

"Daqin has not reached the point where you are indispensable, and wants to use this to put pressure on me. You have made the wrong idea."

"How can I, Fu Su, bow to you?!"

A coldness flashed in Fusu's eyes.

If it was more than half a year ago, he would have been really helpless about this, but in the past six months, Daqin has been making adjustments to the various bureaucracies, which also gave Fusu a chance to intervene.

The current Shilu of Tingwei Mansion.

He was originally the censor of Lingqu, supervising the construction of Lingqu. During his tenure, there were no mistakes in the construction of Lingqu. In November last year, he was appointed as Ting Weizheng for his father.

This person can help himself.

In addition to Shi Lu, there is also Sima Chang, the copper judge of Shaofu.

After Sima Chang became the general of Qin, Sima Cuo, the Sima family can be regarded as a family with considerable influence in the history of Qin, but the Sima family has gradually declined in the past few decades. The main reason is that one person was involved .

White up!

Sima Chang’s eldest father, Sima Qi, was Bai Qi’s lieutenant general, and was eventually killed because of his involvement in Bai Qi’s affairs. The killing of Bai Qi by the former king of Zhaoxiang was so influential that subsequent generations of Qin kings did not dare to use it rashly. For ten years, the Sima family fell into decline.

It was not until the first emperor took office that he rectified Bai's name.

Not only did Bai Qi's son Bai Zhong be granted the title of Marquis.

It also reactivated the major families that were implicated back then.

Sima was able to recover.

It's just that decades have passed, and the Sima family's influence in the Qin State has long since declined. Sima Chang and Sima Xin are two brothers, one is now a copper official, and the other is just a commander in chief.

In addition to these few people, there are also some newly promoted officials.

These can be used by Fusu.

Think of this.

Fusu frowned.

He feels that all this seems to be natural, but it is obviously not the case, but someone is secretly planning, and all the changes in Daqin's eyes seem to be following the established track.

In one thought.

Two figures appeared in his mind.

One is Shihuang.

The other is Ji Heng.

Fusu didn't think too much about it, and it was useless to think too much. He made some annotations on the bamboo slips, and didn't continue to read the bamboo slips, and he finally felt a little tired.

He yawned several times.

Then he got up and left the study, and walked towards the side hall where he slept.

Outside the hall, Wei Sheng had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Fusu coming out, he hurriedly followed.

Fusu's figure disappeared into the palace.

now.

The sky has turned pale.

The surrounding trees made a rustling sound under the breeze.
