Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 251 Fair?Don't you think it's funny? (seeking subscription)

Xianyang's undercurrent gradually formed.

Officials of all sizes in the South China Sea are also facing challenges.

After Fusu came back from the South China Sea camp, he handed over some matters to them. He just asked them briefly every day, and they were responsible for the suggestions and arrangements.

They didn't dare to be careless or careless in any way.

It's just that after making relatively proper arrangements for all the non-commissioned officers nearby, two people were left out for some reason.

The names of the two people were constantly exchanged among Xiao He and others.

But no one made a decision.

finally.

In order to determine their official positions and whereabouts, Li Dan decided to convene everyone for a discussion.

This view is also widely recognized.

is the day.

A side room in Lingling.

Li Dan, Xiao He and others sat together.

Li Dan looked around and saw that all the officials from the Office of Affairs were present. He also nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I am a few years older than you, so I volunteered to be the host of this time. Please don't mind."

talking.

Li Dan continued: "This time, there is only one thing to discuss with you."

"It's the placement of the two generals in the army."

"As for who the two are, you have been dealing with the South China Sea affairs for so long, and you probably already know them all. One is the son of the Great Qin General Tu Sui, Tu Lan, and the other is the son of the Qin General Zhao Tuo, Zhao Yu. The identities of the two are actually They’re all a little special.”

"Before Tu Sui died, he was the commander-in-chief of the South China Sea Army. After Tu Sui died, his son inherited his father's will and continued to take root in Lingnan. He made many achievements in the army and was praised by many generals."

"The other person is more familiar to you."

"He is the son of the current Nanhai Lord. Now the problem lies here."

"Judging from the official positions provided by the Prime Minister's Mansion, there are only two official positions that can accommodate them. One is the magistrate of Yongcheng County, and the other is the county magistrate of Huai County. Status is very different.”

"Yongcheng was the capital of the Qin Dynasty in the past. It had a prosperous population with tens of thousands of registered residents."

"Huai County is just a small county near the water."

"The household registration has been hovering on the edge of tens of thousands. There was a very bad shipwreck incident some time ago. This undoubtedly caused officials in Huai County to have a certain negative impact in the hearts of many people. This will more or less affect to future promotions."

"These are the only two official positions that the Prime Minister's Mansion can offer right now."

"We, too, have choices."

"Who do you think between Tu Lan and Zhao Wei should be the magistrate of Yongcheng County, and who should be the magistrate of Huai County?"

Following Li Dan's question, the side room fell silent immediately.

No one said anything.

Li Dan had already anticipated this situation.

The decision was not easy to make.

In terms of ability and qualifications, Tu Lan is undoubtedly more qualified, but the bad thing is that his father is dead, and Zhao Wei's father is still in office. If Zhao Wei is arranged to go to Huai County, it will easily cause Zhao Tuo's dissatisfaction. Zhao Tuo is currently The Qin army's status was second only to Meng Tian's. He held a high position and was as powerful as Jiu Qing.

Can they provoke such a person?

Because of this.

Everyone in the affairs office clearly knew the situation, but no one was willing to take the risk. That's why the rosters of these two people were constantly passed around in their hands, but they remained unresolved.

see.

Li Dan frowned.

He stood up slowly and went to close the door of the side room.

Afterwards, Li Dan said slowly: "Now you can speak freely, this is all behind closed doors, and will not be known to the outside world, and there should be a conclusion on this matter."

heard.

Everyone's eyes are slightly different.

How they don't know this.

It's just that it's really hard to make a sound, and it's even more impossible to ask Fusu for an answer.

Could it be that Fusu really didn't know?
Of course not.

Fusu handed over all this matter to them, obviously he also has the intention of taking the school exam, otherwise he would pick up some easy tasks to do, how could there be such a good thing in the world.

Therefore, everyone tacitly did not think about asking for instructions.

This is what they need to solve.

a long time.

Seeing that the people around him were still unwilling to speak, Li Dan hesitated for a while, and decided to speak up. He took the initiative to say: "Since you are unwilling to speak, I, Li Dan, will be the first to speak out. I think Tu Lan should be appointed as the county magistrate of Yongcheng. Tu Lan's ability is outstanding, he has always been stable in the army, and he has repeatedly made military achievements, which shows his talent, and his competence is worthy of the name."

"As for Zhao Yu."

"Although his father is the chief general of the South China Sea, Zhao Yu didn't gain much military exploits, and he was always under his father's wings, and he didn't really take charge of himself. Therefore, in my opinion, Zhao Yu needs to prove himself alone, and Yongcheng is The large county has a large population, and it is inconvenient to let it do anything, so it is most suitable for the magistrate of Huai County."

"What do you all think?"

heard.

The crowd laughed bitterly.

How could they not understand the truth?
It's easy to say, but hard to make a decision.

In particular, this decision has to be handed over to Zhao Tuo for review, which is even more difficult. Isn't this going to save Zhao Tuo's face?
A little silence.

Uncle Le got up and said, "I have no objection to this, but will it be unfair to Zhao Yu?"

"Although he is blessed by his father, he is willing to take root in Lingnan. This is actually not easy. Although there have been wars in Lingnan these years, most of them are piecemeal. If you want to gain military merits, you must not only deal with it properly, but also need a certain amount of luck. Maybe The resumes we saw were not entirely accurate."

"I think maybe it should be carefully considered."

But when he said these words, Uncle Le couldn't help but dodge his eyes.

Apparently he finds it difficult to convince others.

But the difficulty of this matter is here, the difficulty is not to arrange Zhao Yu, but to deal with Zhao Tuo.

After all, Zhao Tuo is the commander-in-chief of the army, leading 50 troops. With such great power, and for them to be so contemptuous of his son, once word spreads, it will definitely damage Zhao Tuo's reputation, and it is easy for Zhao Tuo to feel resentment towards them. This matter is difficult. The trouble lies with Zhao Tuo himself.

As Uncle Le took the initiative to pierce the window paper, other people also expressed their concerns.

Without exception.

They were all worried about Zhao Tuo's reaction.

It's just that everyone's words were restrained, and they basically followed Uncle Le's words. They were all complaining about Zhao Wei, but they couldn't tell where they were grievances.

After some debate, it was ultimately fruitless.

Some people think that Tu Lan should be the magistrate of Yongcheng County, while some people support Zhao Mei as the magistrate of Yongcheng County.

But no one dared to make a real decision.

Although Tu Lan's father is dead, his father has many friends in the court. If Tu Lan is appointed as the magistrate of Huai County, it will not be justified in any case, and it will even cause dissatisfaction among many courtiers, and to be fair, Tu Lan's My father died fighting for the Qin Dynasty. If he were to deal with it this way, it would be somewhat unsatisfactory and even mean and ungrateful.

It is really hard to convince the public to treat it like this.

even.

Even they will feel a little chilled.

They are all officials of the Great Qin Dynasty now, if something happens to them one day, and the court treats their children like this, will it make them not feel chilled?

It is precisely because of so many concerns that everyone has been uncertain for a long time.

a time.

But everyone was deadlocked.

No one has ever dared to make a conclusion about this matter.

finally.

Li Dan looked at Wang Ping and asked, "Wang Ping, you are a general and know a lot about military affairs. In your opinion, how should we handle this?" Wang Ping's expression froze.

How can he handle such a hot potato?

Wang's family situation is no longer what it used to be. With the death of his eldest father and father, Wang's life is no longer what it used to be, and he doesn't want to make troubles anymore. Yes, many members of my Wang clan have joined the army, but I have been working as a civilian, so I don't know much about military affairs, so I really can't give effective advice."

"but."

Wang Ping paused, and said in a deep voice: "I don't think it's important how we look at it, what matters is why the names of these two people appear on the roster, and what your Highness thinks."

heard.

Everyone's eyes are slightly different.

What Wang Ping said was right, Fusu's attitude was the key.

General Pi's rank in the army is not considered low. This time only Zhao Yu and Tu Lan are on the roster, which can actually give some clues, but even so, it is not something they can lightly decide, especially The final decision will be in the hands of Zhao Tuo first, which makes them even more at a loss.

This then influenced the final decision.

But this is not Fusu's test for them.

It's just that this test is really grueling.

In fact, they mainly did not want to offend Zhao Tuo.

At this time.

There was a burst of laughter from behind the seat.

"What's the matter? You guys are discussing it over and over just to discuss this?"

"Everyone pretends to be confused while pretending to understand."

"Does it make sense?"

"You are saying that you are unfair to Zhao Wei, but inside and outside your words, you actually support Tu Lan as the county magistrate. It is just because of Zhao Tuo's face that you don't want to make this decision yourself. You all want to You are thinking too much about letting others come forward so that you can escape from it."

"Is this really so difficult?"

"I, Liu Ji, don't think so."

Hearing a burst of disapproving words from behind, everyone was slightly startled, but after hearing who said it, they couldn't help showing a touch of helplessness on their faces.

How could he, Liu Ji, be qualified to make decisions?

even.

If it wasn't for His Highness's grace, he wouldn't be eligible to attend.

On that day, after Xiao He told Fusu about Liu Jizhi's day, Fusu did not blame him for it, but he also strictly ordered Liu Ji not to interfere in the affairs of the affairs of the government, but Liu Ji was eloquent and eloquent. He also showed up outside from time to time, relying on his eloquence, forced Fusu to look at him differently, and finally allowed him to participate in it.

But as a 'fake' official.

That’s an agent!

Hearing Liu Ji's generous words, Xiao He couldn't help but raise his forehead.

However, out of his trust in Liu Ji, he was still very curious about Liu Ji's views. He slightly cupped his hands and said to everyone: "Since Liu Ji dares to speak out, he must have his own opinions. Liu Ji, please tell me what you think about this matter." the opinion of."

Liu Ji chuckled.

He stood up very naturally.

He looked at the people in front of him and said with contempt: "None of what you said before is tenable."

"fair?"

"How can there be justice in this world?"

"These words are enough to deceive the illiterate ministers at the head of Guizhou. What backgrounds do you all have? You have all read a lot of books. How can you be less knowledgeable than a rural person like me?"

"Open your mouth to be fair, shut your mouth to be fair."

“Don’t you think it’s a little funny when you say the word fairness?”

"People are born in different classes. Some people are born noble, some people are born mud legs, some places are like spring all the year round, and some places change seasons. Even the environment is different, so what is it? Human, fairness? It’s just human hypocrisy.”

Hearing Liu Ji's words, many people in the venue frowned, with a hint of displeasure in their eyes.

Liu Ji didn't care.

He stood with his hands behind his hands and said with an unruly expression: "Fairness is just a lie made up by scholars. It is also a sophistry specially made up by them to satisfy their own selfish interests. Is fairness necessary in the world?"

"Not required."

"Ask those at the bottom, who really cares about fairness?"

"No one cares!"

"Because these people at the bottom know very well that there is no standard for fairness. The standard depends on the words of the scholars. If the scholars say it is fair, they will find excuses and reasons in every possible way to make people think it is true. It’s fair, but is it really fair?”

"Ha ha."

Liu Ji scoffed at this.

In Liu Ji's eyes, fairness is as stinky as Confucian scholars.

It's all fake stuff.

There is no standard.

It all depends on the opinion of the scholar.

This is not fair at all, it is just self-deception.

It's just fooling a group of illiterate people and letting a group of people follow along to act.

It’s just that after saying it for a long time, some people took it seriously.

Liu Ji said coldly: "You think this matter is difficult to decide, in my opinion, the method of resettlement is already on the horizon, it is not a matter of fairness or unfairness at all, but just implement it according to Daqin's fundamentals. "

"There is only one point in the Great Qin legal system."

"just!!!"

"This is the most important thing in Qin Fa."

"This is also what the world cares about most."

"Because the Great Qin is a legal system, the justice of the Great Qin is based on the law and can be seen. Therefore, whether it is fair or not, the world can also see clearly and clearly. Compared with those vain things , What the world wants to see is the real thing, what morality and shame, benevolence, righteousness and fairness are all fooling people."

"You can think people at the bottom are stupid, but you can't think they are stupid."

"Their understanding of the world is very simple, that is, the rules you set, have you followed them in the end? If you follow them, then it is fair. Otherwise, how can you convince others?"

"This time is no exception."

"Everything is done according to the regulations."

"Zhao Tuo is dissatisfied, let him find the law's problems."

"Go and change the law."

"Otherwise, if you follow the regulations of the law, there will be nothing wrong in any case. Justice is the most important thing in the affairs office."

"You have too many thoughts."

heard.

Everyone's complexion changed slightly, but no one refuted.

They all lowered their heads in thought.

Liu Ji's words made them wake up instantly and understand the key point of this time.

just! ! !

a time.

Everyone looked at Liu Ji high.

Liu Ji is not easy.

How could he directly see the truth and falsehood in such a short period of time.

It is indeed the person who makes His Highness look sideways.

The power of insight is amazing.
