Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 288 How powerful Da Qin is! (Please subscribe)

Listening to Zhang Cang's words, Fusu was thoughtful.

Zhang Cang said no more.

He has told Fusu the solution. If Fusu still can't think of what to do, his political acumen is really poor. He can help Fusu for a while, but he cannot help him all the time. Moreover, he It can also be seen that Ji Heng has always wanted to cultivate Fusu to think independently, so he will not get into too much trouble.

In addition, he had been tricked by Fusu too many times before, and he really didn’t want Fusu to be too dependent on him.

Think of this.

He sighed in his heart.

I don’t know who in the court is plotting this time, nor what the ultimate goal is, but these people are indeed very shrewd in their calculations, and they know Fusu very accurately, and immediately cut off the connection between Fusu and Ji Heng, letting him Fusu had no way to ask Ji Heng for advice. If he hadn't been in the court for many years and had been cautious in this powerful and chaotic power, not being known to the outside world, he might have plotted against others. Then Fusu would really be helpless. Take measures.

But he also knew it.

There won't be much time left for Fusu.

Fusu did not have enough time to calmly observe state affairs and hone his talents like the princes of Qin in the past. In addition, Fusu had been deliberately restricted by the First Emperor, which never allowed Fusu to truly step into the center of power. Suddenly, he was involved in If you step into it, especially if you step directly into the center of the vortex, if you cannot withstand the setbacks and storms, you will probably die in the middle.

Just after this.

My situation may become extremely difficult.

In one thought.

Zhang Cang's face wrinkled into a bitter melon.

But he also knew that he actually had no choice.

I am too close to Fusu. If I don't help, I will definitely be in trouble when Fusu plots against the courtiers.

its so.

It's better to take the initiative.

But he was also very curious as to why Fusu insisted on alienating the 'guest ministers', and it was so obvious that this would not be of much benefit to Fusu. But through this incident, he seemed to have realized it. There are some things that I haven’t thought about carefully yet, and I haven’t fully understood them in a short period of time.

And since Fusu dared to do this, he must have discussed it with Ji Heng.

Ji Heng's intelligence was far superior to his own, so he would not have made such a big mistake, so it could only have been intentional.

There are other plans.

Zhang Cang touched his chin with his fingers and thought secretly in his heart.

aside.

Fusu was carefully considering Zhang Cang's words.

Deny all evidence? !

'How can the vastness of heaven and earth, and the vastness of governance, be limited to what is before our eyes? '

'Those who want to govern China must be inclusive! '

He kept mumbling these two sentences in his mouth, and his eyes became clearer and clearer.

He already knew what to do.

He smiled and said: "Thank you Zhang Qing for your advice. Fusu understands."

"If you don't want to fall into other people's schemes, you have to escape. This time, the incident is aimed at me. The other party must have made sufficient preparations. No matter how I defend myself, I will fall into what the other party has already planned." is involved in the plan, so just don’t fall into it.”

"He questions his, I reveal mine."

"And this actually coincides with what Mr. Ji said."

“The disclosure of a secret is not the same as an open secret.”

"In the past year, I have indeed become somewhat alienated from some courtiers. I have had quite a lot of differences in political opinions and understandings. Sometimes my dissatisfaction is even directly shown on my face. Therefore, there are many rumors in the court. I, Fusu, have a lot of differences with Kanto The courtiers who were born are biased, and this is actually known to the court.”

"But it may not be true."

"It's true because it's true, it's not true because I never admitted it."

"If you haven't admitted it, how can it be true?"

A smile appeared on Fusu's face.

He said slowly: "Now these people are making trouble with things that are recognized by the outside world. If I panic, I might be fooled and claim this 'truth'. Once I claim it, it means that I have been fooled." The trap set by these people, even if they can escape from it later, they are destined to be implicated in this matter."

"Da Qin originally promoted the rule of the world."

"And I, the crown prince, openly caused internal strife and divided the court. In the end, even if my father tried his best to protect it, it might not be of any use."

"Difficult to reach."

"The court is actually a battle between the king and his ministers."

"Either I will be deposed as Crown Prince, or Your Majesty will make a lot of concessions for me, which means that my father has 'lost'."

"It is always the courtiers who benefit."

"So I can't admit it, and I don't dare to admit it."

"You shouldn't admit it."

"I, Fusu, did not do this, nor did I have this intention. My idea was that 'those who want to govern China must be inclusive.' As for why it was misunderstood by the outside world, it is just because my vision is higher and I see a wider field. , my vision is not limited to the court, but to the whole world."

"I did alienate some courtiers."

"But Feng Quji, Ma Xing, and you, Zhang Cang, are all from Guandong. Am I alienated at all?"

"Last time I set up the Office of Affairs, in addition to recruiting Lang officers, I also recruited Xiao He, Wu Rui, Liu Ji and others. Aren't they from Guandong?"

"I am not just happy with the present, but I aim to let more talents from Shandong enter Qin, eat Qin's salary, be loyal to Qin, and contribute to Qin's construction."

"This is the reason why Great Qin is so powerful!"

"Prime Minister Li Si once said: 'A country with a vast land has many millets, and a country with a large country has many talents. This is because Mount Tai does not allow the earth to be scratched, so it can become big; rivers and seas do not choose small streams, so they can be deep; a king does not reject the masses. "Concubine, so you can understand its virtues." At present, there are many people in the world who resent Qin, causing the people of the world to retreat and not dare to go west. I, Fusu, intend to recruit these people of the world to our great Qin again, what is wrong?"

"On the contrary, the one who caused the trouble this time is the one who, regardless of the merits, is not a 'Qin man' and is just a guest."

Fusu's eyes were bright.

He expressed his opinions eloquently.

His voice grew louder, more sonorous, and calmer.

heard.

Zhang Cang nodded happily.

Fusu finally understood his intention.

Since these perpetrators use "Remonstrance and Expulsion Letters" to target Fusu, Fusu can also use "Admonishment and Expulsion Letters" to fight back. They, the courtiers in the court, are probably the "Qin people", and it is they who are making noises. "Drive away" the people of the world so that they do not dare to go westward.

If these remarks continue, although Fusu will be at odds with many courtiers, at the same time, he will also win the favor of people all over the world.

in addition.Fusu will be less constrained in his actions in the future. He no longer has to consider too much the influence of the courtiers, and he does not need to think about the courtiers' attitudes. Compared with Fusu, the advantages actually outweigh the disadvantages. After all, the other party has clearly targeted him. We already hate each other, so why continue to show off?
And Fusu is obviously more confident.

Zhang Cang cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness is wise. I only briefly explained it. Your Highness understands everything so quickly. I really admire you."

Fusu looked at Zhang Cang, smiled bitterly and said, "Zhang Qing, please don't make fun of me."

"If you hadn't explained the stakes of this matter, I would have been kept in the dark. It's precisely because I understood everything that I dared to completely put aside the burden and face this matter squarely. This is all Zhang Qing's credit. Fusu is still self-aware."

Zhang Cang laughed and did not take credit for this.

From the previous words, he had clearly noticed that Fusu had a big conspiracy.

He was not satisfied with the status quo of the court.

even
Fusu wanted to change that.

If you want to change the situation in the court, there must be people up and down. As for the people at the top, Fusu has already explained that they are the officials he values, while the people at the bottom may have to be eliminated from the court officials, but What made Zhang Cang very surprised was that if Fusu's words were meant to be told to him, it would be a good idea. If they were Fusu's true thoughts, then the court would probably be turned upside down in the future.

Because that meant that many of the courtiers had to go down.

In one thought.

Zhang Cang's heart was already a little hairy.

He felt like he was involved in something big again.

However, Zhang Cang couldn't help but comfort himself that he must be overthinking, and His Highness just said it out of anger, and didn't really think so. After all, these were the founding heroes of the Qin Dynasty, and they all made great achievements for the Qin Dynasty. A veteran of meritorious service, how dare Your Highness really let these people go down?
There is no reason or morality.

What's more, His Majesty said back then that if all the heroes cannot retire, how can the Qin Dynasty stand in the world?
Just thinking about the recent changes in Fusu and Ji Heng who was plotting secretly, Zhang Cang suddenly felt unsure again.

He just hoped now that he was overthinking.

otherwise
It's a big deal.

Fusu glanced across Zhang Cang's face, and when he saw Zhang Cang's frightened and frightened expression, he also knew that Zhang Cang had heard the few words he had accidentally let slip just now, and with Zhang Cang's words I probably guessed something about his character and talent, so he showed this look.

But Fusu wasn't worried either.

It was impossible for Zhang Cang to tell this matter.

Moreover, the courtiers are targeting me in this way, so why should I care too much about it?
Ji Heng thought it through.

As long as you want to adhere to the state affairs of the Qin Dynasty and change the current situation of the Qin Dynasty, you are destined to be at odds with the courtiers. If you want to reduce the courtiers' control over the court, you will inevitably break with the courtiers. Therefore, from the beginning, you should not have any ambitions. Fantasy and luck are related to power and interests, and it is impossible for either party to compromise, at least until there is no clear winner or lose, no party will compromise.

In fact, he had figured it out a long time ago.

Otherwise why this?

But it's not too late to understand now.

The courtier's attack this time also subtly helped me, reducing my burden and showing my determination. More importantly, I no longer have to be so constrained in the future, and I can be more open-minded.

This may be a blessing and a curse, and a misfortune and blessing.

Fusu bowed respectfully to Zhang Cang and sighed: "I took a long breath to cover my tears, lamenting the hardships of the people's livelihood. I used to read Qu Yuan's few sentences and felt deeply. I didn't know until I was actually in it. The difficulty is that after this incident, some courtiers and I will inevitably become incompatible, and some conflicts may be brought to light from the dark. More and more courtiers will alienate me because of political differences. In the future, The only people I can rely on in Fusu are Zhang Qing and a few others."

Zhang Cang's heart was trembling, and he said quickly: "Your Highness is serious."

"I know that His Highness's ambition is to serve the country and the people. I am also deeply inspired. Otherwise, how could I have the courage to speak to His Highness at such a moment?"

"I firmly believe that Your Highness will be able to make Great Qin prosperous."

Done.

Zhang Cang knelt down and bowed directly.

Seeing this, Fusu quickly stretched out his hand to help Zhang Cang up, and said with a wry smile: "How can I, Fusu, have such great ambitions? I just want to reduce the hatred in the world and allow all people in the world to rest and recuperate. That is enough. However, I am a soft-spoken person. He doesn’t have much administrative ability, and looking back on the past, he has caused many ridiculous things, which is really shameful.”

"Let's get down to business."

"Now that I know how to solve my problem, what about Mr. Ji's?"

"Mr. Ji's matter is not big or small. If it is not handled well, it may turn into the situation of Zheng State. Ji Heng is a great talent and has helped me a lot. If he is framed by a traitor for this, , or plot against traitors, I can’t calm down.”

Fusu looked at Zhang Cang and asked for a solution.

He already knew it.

My own intelligence is not enough to fight against these cunning courtiers, so I can only turn to Zhang Cang, hoping that Zhang Cang can give a proper solution.

Zhang Cang was silent for a long time.

see.

Fusu's heart was inexplicably hung up.

But Zhang Cang chuckled after a while, as if he didn't care much about it at all.

Zhang Cang looked outside the door and said softly: "Your Highness is actually overly worried. Mr. Ji's matter is not something to be afraid of. Although Mr. Ji caused this incident, as far as the current situation is known, the outside world does not know much about Mr. Ji." Many people know only that he has a close relationship with His Highness, and very little is known about Mr. Ji’s true situation.”

"and"

"Even if they really know the true situation of Mr. Ji, they don't dare to say it directly. They just want to target His Highness, and they don't dare to directly provoke His Majesty."

"If you dare not tell the truth about Mr. Ji, then the matter will be resolved very easily."

"Why?" Fusu was a little puzzled.

As far as he could think, Ji Heng's identity was a big problem. Once a proper explanation could not be given, according to the law, Ji Heng would be directly charged. Wouldn't Ji Heng have to become a prisoner again?Although this is not a big deal, it is not what Fusu wants to see.

Zhang Cang chuckled lightly and pretended to be mysterious: "This matter is indeed easy to solve."

"It's just that the solution is no longer available to me."

"And on Zong Zheng."

"Zongzheng?" Fusu was stunned and became more and more confused.

"Doesn't Ji Heng have no identity now? And not only in Guanzhong, but also in Guandong, there is no household registration for 'Mr. Zhong'. Since there is no household registration, then give 'Mr. Zhong' a household registration." Zhang Cang said lightly.

heard.

Fusu was even more confused.

If he could create a household registration for Ji Heng, why would he need to consult Zhang Cang?
Isn’t it because I can’t make it up?

And what does this have to do with Zongzheng?
Fusu's eyes were full of confusion.

Just when Zhang Cang was about to explain, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the hall.

Wei Sheng's voice also sounded outside the hall.

"Your Highness, something is wrong."

"Shaofu Du He, Yu Shi De and others are outside the palace asking for an audience."

"They said they wanted to check with His Highness about the rumors that are spreading widely."
