Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 242: Prince Qin for Generations! (first update)
After dinner.

Xiao He and Liu Ji walked towards the residence.

On the way, Xiao He asked in confusion: "Why did you say that during the meal?"

Liu Ji smiled and said: "These are probably other people's thoughts. There is a gap between Guandong and Guanzhong. Although I didn't say it verbally, I was somewhat arrogant in my heart."

"They may not really think highly of those heroic children in their hearts."

"But these people are also very smart. Even if they have some emotions, they will not express them easily."

"So I just went with the flow and helped them say this. I tolerate it when I want to tolerate it, and avoid it when I want to avoid it. I, Liu Ji, have the lowest status. It is most appropriate to say this to bully the weak and fear the strong. It only gives them a way to step up. Just get off."

heard.

Xiao He thought about it.

He stared at Liu Ji closely.

Finally shook his head.

This might not necessarily be Liu Ji's real idea.

Liu Ji is very smart.

Many people are easily underestimated by Liu Ji's frivolous behavior, but if they really underestimate Liu Ji, it is easy to suffer a big loss. Liu Ji did this because he was not the candidate selected by His Highness Fusu, so it was even more important. Speaking positively is to prove a point.

He is entitled to stay here.

It's just that Liu Ji chose to set off others by belittling himself.

However, this method is indeed the most effective.

At least for now, other people don't have much opinion on Liu Ji, and many people are even happy to have Liu Ji who is "cowardly and fearful" in the field. After all, with Liu Ji in front, any behavior of them seems to be There are justifications.

And this is also where Xiao He admires Liu Ji very much.

Can bend and stretch.

Liu Ji is very self-aware.

He will not easily anger everyone, but will use various means to make everyone relatively friendly, but this kind of harmony is often not long-lasting, but to a certain extent, it is enough, Liu Ji will take advantage of this Opportunity to constantly improve yourself.

Xiao He said slowly: "Aren't you afraid of being misled by your cleverness?"

"The people present are probably not ordinary people, who can make achievements in counties and counties where good and bad people are mixed. Your methods may be easily seen through."

Liu Ji smiled, didn't care, put his arms around and said, "So what if you know?"

"I was just giving them a step down."

"These guys are smart."

"Don't they know whose world it is now?"

"Don't they know that no matter how talented they are, they will eventually have to look at Qin Ting's eyes?"

"they know."

“And it’s pretty profound about it.”

"It is precisely because of this that people like me need to open their mouths to talk about some face-saving things and give them face-saving respect."

"And I know these people better than you do."

"Their coming to Lingling this time may not have any good intentions."

"Like Uncle Le from Dongxiang, he is a famous general after Le Yi, and he can be regarded as a nobleman with a prominent family background. Could it be that he is willing to be driven by Qin? Don't want to restore the glory of the old clan? When I traveled around the world, I I have heard that many nobles from the six countries actually have deep resentment against Qin Ting, and it may be unrealistic to want these people to work for Qin."

"These people came here for a purpose."

Xiao He was silent.

It's not a bad idea for them to come this time.

Liu Ji looked at Xiao He with a half-smile, and said lightly: "Now you know why I said that? Most of the officials who came this time had ulterior motives, but they all knew each other. I just made it up for them in advance. Some foreshadowing, so that they don't have too much psychological burden."

"after all."

"In the end, it depends on political achievements!"

"Whether it is the children of meritorious officials or the nobles of the six countries, when they come to Lingling this time, they are destined to obey Fusu's orders. However, some people will deliberately hide their clumsiness, some will want to please Qin Ting, and some will follow I waited and wavered, trying to find out the reality of Qin Ting for the follow-up."

"But no matter what, you need to be gentle on the surface."

"And even if this Highness really values ​​us, he is from Qin after all, so he will favor some Guanzhong officials to some extent."

"There's nothing wrong with that."

"I might as well have secretly reminded them."

"I don't know how they will talk about me in private. At least they will restrain themselves on the surface, so as not to make each other too ugly."

Xiao He smiled wryly and shook his head.

He said: "You are obviously a pavilion chief, but you think so much."

Liu Ji waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't understand this. When you go out, whether you have money or not is another matter. The most important thing is to brag. If you don't convince others, how can someone give you good wine?" Meat?"

"Haha."

Xiao He followed and smiled.

This is in line with Liu Ji's daily style.

immediately.

Xiao He seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "Just now you said in the lobby that you had contact with those Qin officials? Is this true?"

Liu Ji nodded, and said complacently, "This is of course true."

"But I didn't find out much news."

"But you are more or less aware of it."

"Among the officials who came to Lingling this time, it is clear that there are more officials from the Kanto region, and the officials from the Qin region in Guanzhong, except for those few heroes, there are only less than ten people. This number is actually a bit wrong. The list may be very particular, but no one knows what His Highness thinks in his heart."

Xiao He nodded.

He actually noticed it too.

I thought it was due to lack of personnel.

But it had been two or three days, and he had already reacted before anyone else arrived.

Those are the only officials who fear Guan Zhongqin.

The meaning is hard to guess
immediately.

Liu Ji seemed to have thought of something, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "According to what I found out, it seems that we were introduced this time by a censor named Zhang Cang. According to those Qin officials, We Guandong officials were all recommended by this person, as if... this person is the official in charge of the world's best plan."

"Zhang Cang." Xiao He chewed the name in his heart, then nodded and said: "If this person is really an official in charge of the world's best plans, he may indeed recommend me. I have actually noticed in secret that the person who came this time , are indeed officials who have managed the various places well in recent years, presumably, this is also the main reason His Highness values ​​them."

Liu Ji nodded.

The two walked side by side and said nothing more.

As for other things, they couldn't guess them, or they could only pry into the truth when Fusu arrived.

the other side.

Shi Yue was also very confused.

He is completely confused about his being recruited this time.

It has been a few days since he came to Lingling, and he still hasn't recovered. He is just a pavilion chief, why is he valued by His Highness?

Although he knew that besides himself, there was also a pavilion chief who came here this time.

But this person does not seem to be in the list of recruitment.

That is to say, he is actually the last official among the officials recruited this time, and this made Shi Yue a little uneasy, so in the past few days, he also took the opportunity to walk around with other people, trying to find out There is more news, but there is very little news from inquiring.

The only thing he knows is that Zhang Cang recommended him.

He didn't know Zhang Cang.

Not eligible either.

After a few days of uneasy emotions, his mind gradually calmed down. After some thinking, several figures suddenly appeared in his mind. The few officials who came to Qinting at the beginning, when they left, they said He might be reused in the future, but he didn't think so at the time.

It didn't even matter.

But the experience of this period of time made him think about it.

Perhaps these people really spoke for themselves.

Think of this.

Shi Yue also felt emotional.

In fact, he never wanted to be promoted later.

There is indeed no hope.

In addition, the place has become more and more unstable in the past few years, and he has gradually developed some anxiety. He only wants to guard his Qin Pavilion. It's a little unexpected.

But he was still very grateful.

after all
This opportunity is truly extraordinary.

Unusual.

This is the affairs office of the Crown Prince of the Qin Dynasty. If I can get into the eyes of the Crown Prince, my future career will be smooth. This is very different from the ordinary promotion path. I will not be restricted and affected by too many places. My future will be smooth. It's bright.

Even the most indifferent person may find it difficult to calm down in the face of such a scene.

Xianyang, Mengfu.

Ever since Meng Tian was called back, he has been staying in Xianyang.

Meng Tian has no objection to this.

study.

Meng Tian held the military book in his hand, and looked at it intently.

Meng Yi resolutely at the side, although he has been dismissed and has no job right now, he has not slacked off, and has been studying hard. What he is currently looking at is the "Business Administration" promulgated by the Tingwei Mansion three months ago. law".

After looking at it for a while, Meng Yi put down the bamboo slips and sighed softly: "At the beginning, my elder brother strongly opposed me as a court lieutenant. I was a little confused at first, but now I finally understand that my elder brother is thinking of me. , but most of the laws and decrees that I am familiar with stay on the bamboo slips, and I haven't really grasped them, nor have I a too keen awareness."

"If it weren't for His Majesty's trust, it would be impossible for him to do the job."

Meng Tian shook his head and said: "Your Majesty chose you as Ting Wei on that day, and he trusts you to be competent, and you did not make too many mistakes in the position of Ting Wei, but your experience is too lacking It's hard to cover everything. You used to be too smooth, and when you encounter setbacks, you will easily lose your sense of proportion. Although you have been dismissed from the post of Ting Wei, after this period of precipitation, you have actually grown a lot compared to the past. "

"and"

Meng Tian hesitated for a moment, then said in a concentrated voice: "In fact, it is not easy for you to involve too much in the matter of "Shang Lv". This matter may not end like this. His Majesty's resignation of you may not be to protect you."

heard.

There was a strange look in Meng Yi's eyes, and he asked in surprise: "Why did you say that, brother?"

Meng Yi shook his head and said, "It's just a premonition."

"This "Law of Commerce" was actually promoted by His Royal Highness, but even if I was far away in northern Xinjiang, I quickly understood after hearing this "Law of Commerce" that the promulgation of these laws and regulations hit merchants hard. Since ancient times, merchants have been rare goods. Representatives for sale, these people are unproductive and should be severely punished."

"However, in the past, merchants were only suppressed in terms of status, not to restrict merchants' business contacts."

"The "Law of Business" is not the case."

"It restores a certain status of merchants, but at the same time, it imposes great restrictions on the money that merchants value most. It is very difficult to implement it, and there may be many repetitions during the period.”

"So it is difficult to calm down in a short time."

"You are not familiar with the business methods of merchants, and you have never dealt with low-level traffickers and merchants. If you continue to be in charge of the Tingwei Mansion, you may deform the implementation of the "Law of Commerce", and it will be counterproductive. , and during this time, although you are not in the court, you can still observe how other officials are doing, and you can learn a lot of experience from it, which will be of great benefit to you when you return to the court in the future."

Meng Yi nodded.

He looked at Meng Tian and asked: "Brother has been back to Xianyang for a long time. Do you know when he can return to the army?"

"This matter should be decided by His Majesty." Meng Tian said.

Subsequently.

Meng Tian said in a deep voice: "As far as the current situation is concerned, I won't be returning to Beiyuan Camp anytime soon."

Speaking of which.

Meng Tian's eyes flickered.

In fact, he already understood in his heart.

His Majesty summoned himself back this time, and asked Fusu to go to the South China Sea to deal with the military. It might not be that he was afraid of the generals in the army, but by staying in Xianyang, he could guarantee to the greatest extent that the army would not have any troubles. After all, if Fusu Su's idea spread to the Beiyuan military camp. If he really had a dissatisfaction with His Majesty, he might take the opportunity to make trouble. This is not what His Majesty wants to see.

He has been the prime minister of Qin for generations.

Never had any dissatisfaction with His Majesty.

His Majesty chose to recall himself, perhaps out of trust.

Also.

When His Royal Highness Fusu's implementation in the South China Sea goes smoothly, he may also use this strategy on the Beiyuan army. He has no dissatisfaction with the court's actions, and is even happy to see the court do so, because with Wang Ben's After dying of illness, Montessori seems to be the only one in the army, which is actually a very dangerous signal.

He's been trying to avoid it all these years.

It's just that his two Meng brothers, one is the Great General of the Qin Dynasty and the other is the Jiuqing. They have so much power that they can't hide it at all, but fortunately, following Meng Yi's 'mistakes', Meng Yi's official position was removed , The court also began to rectify the army, which meant that the sharp blade that had been hanging over Montessori's head was taken back by His Majesty.

He couldn't help but feel a lot more at ease.

In the past, Montessori was too favored by His Majesty.

This kind of intimacy has reached the point where Meng Tian is a little scared.

However, in the past six months, he has gradually calmed down. Although he is staying at home now, he feels extremely peaceful.

And during the time he stayed in Xianyang, Meng Tian also ruthlessly made up for some court affairs, and had a general understanding of what happened in Xianyang this year, but the more he knew, the more he realized Fusu Great changes.

This change has been somewhat shocking.

even.

Meng Tian couldn't see the crown prince clearly.
