Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 218 Loyalty to the emperor, worry about the emperor! (seeking subscription)
West City.

Ji Heng was already lying leisurely in the courtyard.

Holding the bamboo fan in one hand and patting the thigh with the other hand, the life is very comfortable and comfortable.

Hu Hai is similar.

He even sometimes felt that his life as the son of Daqin was not as easy as Ji Heng's life.

He put his hands on his head and asked suddenly: "Ji Heng, what did you tell my elder brother that day? Are you so confident?"

Ji Heng didn't tilt his head, and just said: "Actually, I didn't say too much to Fusu, I just said two simple words, Liwei!"

"Don't talk about things in an inquiring tone."

"It's an order!"

"You can't talk about these veterans of the empire with your mouth."

"They have been struggling in the court for many years. How can a fledgling like Fusu be able to resist? As long as they want to refuse, they can easily find forty and one hundred ways. Veteran ministers who are underestimated by seniority can only suppress their arrogance with the posture of a senior official."

"Other than that, nothing else."

Speaking of which.

Ji Heng was also quite sad.

In the past, I often heard people say that there are three fires for a new official to take office.

He really thought it was an official's airs, and wanted to show off his prestige, or intimidate the local officials, but only after he really entered the big dye vat of officialdom, did he know the correctness of this sentence.

Not want to burn.

Instead it had to be burned.

If you don't burn this fire, the officials below will not take it seriously, they will only think that you are easy to bully, and only when you are really angry, let them feel the difference in status and status, and make them feel that it is difficult to deal with it As a new official, he will be constantly made things difficult and tossed about in the future, so that they can stop their crazy thoughts and truly obey orders.

At least he didn't dare to do too many actions on the surface.

Only words can become words.

Not empty talk.

Listening to Ji Heng's explanation, Hu Hai was thoughtful.

Immediately, he asked again: "What if those people still don't listen?"

Ji Heng sneered and said disdainfully, "That's an official issue, not Fusu's issue."

"Even if some of the courtiers were dissatisfied with Fusu, they didn't dare to do it so blatantly. They just tripped up secretly and didn't dare to shake face in person. Moreover, Fusu is the heir of the Great Qin Dynasty after all. If he did too much, it would cause Fusu Dissatisfied, no matter what the final result is, they will probably mutter in their hearts, and they will not be retaliated by Fusu in the future."

"The political struggle in the court is far more complicated than you think."

"Fight without breaking, both struggle and cooperation, is the mainstream of the court."

"Blindly opposing, this kind of person is destined to be rejected by all parties. Even if the family status is prominent, it is difficult to be prominent for too long."

"Politics is an art of compromise."

"Only so."

"History can always move forward with twists and turns."

"And that's where politics goes most of the time."

Hu Hai scratched his head, feeling a little confused, only feeling that there were many twists and turns in it.

He felt that if he was really in the environment Ji Heng said, he might not be able to handle it at all, and he would be easily fooled by these old officials, and he would be more likely to wave his sleeves and leave the political affairs to other people in the end. .

In one thought.

He couldn't help but feel that he might be right to give up the battle for the crown prince.

at least
He is currently incapable of doing so.

Hu Hai lay down again.

Neither of them had much entanglement about it.

As long as Fusu starts to put on a cold face and straighten his posture, no matter how arrogant, prominent, or mighty the officials of Daqin are, they can only bow their heads at this moment.

Because they are just ministers! ! !
the other side.

Du He and others have already left.

Their opposition this time was not great.

Although they had a lot of complaints about Fusu last time, the matter has already passed. Moreover, their consideration at that time was also for the sake of the court. Opinion.

This time it was only a relative question.

It's just that they are a little puzzled, Fusu suddenly cares about the title, what is the reason for this?
Does he really want to solve it?

Yao Jia asked about Du He.

Du He stroked his beard, shook his head and said, "It's strange, I can't figure it out, the problem of military merit is indeed the biggest hidden danger of Daqin, but this hidden danger can't be solved easily, and it wasn't even caused by His Majesty. , which is left over from Shang Yang’s reform.”

"Daqin is regarded by the world as harsh and harsh."

"Actually, it's not unreasonable. The system established by Shang Yang relies on letting the people commit crimes, and then through the deprivation of titles, so as to realize the cycle of everyone having a title, everyone losing a title, and then everyone fighting for the title."

"But with the unification of the world, the military meritorious lord is getting more and more tired."

"The world doesn't have so many military exploits anymore, to support ordinary Qianshou to obtain the title."

"And Daqin's large-scale collection of corvees also kept many people in the frontiers, and they had no chance to convict them. This also led to the continuous hoarding of titles at the bottom, but they were not consumed, and the new generation of bottom leaders could not obtain titles."

“It is as difficult as heaven to solve this dilemma.”

"Even if the first emperor intends to abolish the military merit system, the military merit system has been deeply rooted in the Qin Dynasty for hundreds of years. It is not easy to abolish it? It will only arouse greater dissatisfaction and resentment."

"So the imperial court chose to turn a blind eye."

"As long as the problem doesn't explode and can be delayed, it will continue to be delayed."

"Believe in the wisdom of future generations."

"It's just why Fusu wants to solve it so quickly and early. Doesn't he really know what it will mean to Daqin if he doesn't handle it well?"

After whispering, Du He shook his head and said, "Impossible."

"It's impossible for His Highness not to know."

"If you really don't know, you will never mention these."

"It's just that I can't figure it out."

Seeing this, Yao Jia smiled and jokingly said: "You have been calculating money and food all day, maybe you have overcomplicated things, maybe His Highness has always been very straightforward, but we were deceived by His benevolence in the past, Our Highness may also be a tiger wolf."

"What do you mean?" Du He looked at Yao Jia curiously.

Yao Jia said coldly: "Maybe His Highness is not worried about the military changes regarding the South China Sea issue, but worried about whether he will be able to control the army when he rises to power in the future. The prestige of the First Emperor is high enough, so he can naturally be deterred, but what about His Highness?"

"Can he be shocked?"

"Beiyuan army, with Meng Tian's help, it may not be difficult."

"But what about the South China Sea Army?"

"Who can rely on over there?"

"and"

Yao Jia sneered, with a serious expression on his face, and said calmly: "Last time, Mr. Hu Hai was the first to speak up in order to get rid of the crisis in the South China Sea, and he also publicly said that the court would solve it. Now this matter obviously falls on the shoulders of our Highness." Above all, if he doesn't handle it well, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the crown prince to secure his position."

"And now His Majesty is still here, and His Highness can still help."

"But if it can't be resolved during this period of time, then if something really happens in the future, it may be difficult to deal with it."

"This is what His Highness needs to worry about."

heard.

Du He nodded.

He agreed with Yao Jia's statement.

He smiled and said, "Then what do you think we should do next?"

"How to do it?" Yao Jia laughed and said casually: "Naturally, it is to fulfill the duty of a courtier, be loyal to the emperor, and take care of the emperor's worries."

The two looked at each other and said nothing.

They also understood each other's intentions.

As the laughter stopped abruptly, the figures of the two also disappeared.

　It's been a bit of a slump these days, but it will be fine next month.
