Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 300 Update! ! ! (Please subscribe)
"Fusu, it's really a good trick. Not only did it not fall into the trap, it also settled the matter."

"This ability and skill are really amazing."

Zhao Gao looked uncertain.

The content of Yan Le's letter was completely beyond Zhao Gao's expectation. Not only was Fusu not affected, but he handled the matter properly and found a reasonable explanation for Ji Heng's identity. If anyone wants to follow Ji Heng in the future, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do if I make a fuss about it.

Zhao Gao pinched the wood chips in his hands, his mood seemed a little impetuous.

Fusu faced the crisis and handled it very well.

If His Majesty knew about it, he would be greatly pleased. During this period, although he had worked hard to plan for Hu Hai and was willing to take risks to help Hu Hai, compared with Fusu, he was still far from enough, or even far behind. Yuan, after this, the gap between Hu Hai and Fu Su not only did not narrow, but also widened.

Zhao Gao said coldly: "Now we are in some trouble."

"Although I am a magistrate of the CRRC, my authority is no longer what it used to be. I am not qualified to observe political affairs at all. Moreover, during this tour, His Majesty's opinions were basically not publicized to the outside world. Even if he discussed with the courtiers, they were mostly limited to a few people. , most of the courtiers were kept in the dark, even Li Si was the same."

"In this case, I can find opportunities for Hu Hai to do things, take the opportunity to expand his influence, and arrest some old restorationists. This is the current limit."

"It's very unwise to be good at making opinions anymore."

"First of all, I don't know what His Majesty's next intention is, and secondly, if you make your own decisions again and again, it will only cause His Majesty's dissatisfaction."

"Just like this, wouldn't it make Fusu Zhuan more beautiful than before?"

Zhao Gao's eyes were cold.

He knew very well that Fusu's affairs in Xianyang would soon be heard by the First Emperor. This appropriate handling would greatly add to Fusu's political talents.

Zhao Gao tore the wood pieces into several pieces and threw them into a flower garden.

It was already midnight, but Zhao Gao had trouble sleeping and eating.

finally.

He sat up anyway.

"No."

"We can't let Fusu show off like this anymore."

"Fusu is currently handling political affairs alone. He is completely different from Hu Hai, and has a different impression on His Majesty."

"If this continues, Master Hu Hai's chances will only become less and less."

"but."

"According to the letter sent by Yan Le, Fusu seems to have indeed expressed his dissatisfaction with the current court, and also more clearly advocated the use of more officials from the six regions. This may be a good breaking point. The official position of the court The number seems to be large, but there are more officials who want to join the ranks. Once there are more officials in the six places, there will undoubtedly be fewer officials in Guanzhong."

"Is this what the officials in Guanzhong want to see?"

"Perhaps this can be used to win over officials who were originally wavering."

"But the gap between Mr. Hu Hai and Fu Su is still huge."

"No matter how bold the courtiers are, they dare not blatantly support Hu Hai, let alone refute His Majesty's appointment of the crown prince in person. If you want the courtiers to dare to openly submit a letter, there seems to be only two ways. One is for Hu Hai to make a big show of his voice on the patrol. Brilliant, growing rapidly, and finally growing up to be able to stand alone.”

"As for the other."

"Just let the courtiers make the decision."

"Instead of asking His Majesty to continue to do what he says."

Zhao Gao's eyes were slightly closed, and there was a flash of cold light and coldness in his eyes, like a poisonous snake.

But as soon as this thought arose, he was quickly wiped out by Zhao Gao.

He didn't have the guts.

a long time.

Zhao Gao snorted, and could only try to get Hu Hai to do more things to win the attention and attention of the courtiers. At the same time, he secretly continued to instigate the relationship between Fusu and the courtiers, and then continued to win over the courtiers, and finally Fusu To achieve the isolation of the court, they jointly submitted a letter asking the First Emperor to depose the crown prince.

It's just that this behavior takes too long.

The elder Zhao Gao couldn't wait.

in the chariot.

The First Emperor was also awake.

He also received a paperwork.

A document issued from Xianyang, the person who sent the document was Ying Bi.

Ying Zheng calmly read the entire document, and finally put it down and said calmly: "Some people in the court were very loud and had too many thoughts. Fusu handled it well this time and did not let these people go. People succeed, but it’s not that simple to get these courtiers to push back.”

"Ultimately, you have to resort to force."

“It’s easier said than done to seek change.”

Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slip and let out a long sigh.

A long time ago, Qin implemented kingly politics, and ruling the country by kingly became a tradition that the Qin State could not violate at that time. Even if the ancestors of Xiaogong reformed the law, they still needed to respect the legacy of Qin Mugong. It was clearly stated that it was 'repairing the decrees of Mugong', and it was not Dare to speak out is to abolish kingly politics.

Da Qin is currently facing the same situation.

The courtiers of the Qin Dynasty have long been accustomed to the current political customs, and the resistance to changing customs will be extremely great.

They don't want the court to change.

But Fusu's desire for change is too strong right now.

It was so intense that the courtiers would not tolerate it. This was a conflict between maintaining past traditions and seeking innovation and change.

The two are inherently incompatible.

Ying Zheng was also filled with emotion, because once upon a time, Du He and others were also staunch seekers of change. However, in just over ten years, after experiencing the pain of seeking change, these people were no longer willing to continue seeking change and began to Be conservative and tend to maintain the traditions currently formed.

Ying Zheng also knew the reason.

They became the beneficiaries of the current political tradition.

Once the Qin Dynasty implements reforms again and re-establishes new political concepts, many of these ministers in the court will fall behind due to discomfort.

This is also a historical necessity.

Ying Zheng dug out the "Book of Shang Jun" from a pile of bamboo slips under him, and then opened the "Book of Shang Jun: Gengfa", which recorded the debate on the reform decision-making of the Qin State during the reign of Duke Xiao. The ruling ministers Qianlong and Du Zhi at the time firmly opposed the reform and advocated maintaining the traditions of the Qin State.

Ying Zheng whispered: "Gan Longyun said: 'A sage does not teach by changing the people, but a wise man governs without changing the law. He who teaches for the sake of the people succeeds without labor; he who governs according to the law, the officials learn from it and the people are at peace. If we change the law now, we will not Following the example of the Qin State, we teach the people more courtesy, and the ministers are afraid that the world will discuss the king!'"

"Du Zhi: 'If the benefits are not a hundred, the law will not change. If the merits are not ten, the tools will not change. The law has no faults in ancient times, and there is no evil in following the etiquette. You have your own plan!'"

"Shang Jun rebutted Gan Longyun: 'What the Master said is worldly talk! Ordinary people are content with their old habits, while scholars are addicted to what they hear. The reason why these two are officials and abide by the law is not that they are outside the law. The three generations are different. Ritual is the king, and the five hegemons are different from the law. Therefore, those who know how to practice the law, and fools control evil. The wise are more polite, but the unfaithful are restrained! Those who are strict with etiquette are not enough to talk about things. Those who control the law are not enough to talk about changes. '" "You have no doubt!"

"Shang Jun also refuted Du Zhiyun: 'In the past life, there were different religions, so how could there be ancient laws? If the emperors did not follow each other, how could they follow the rituals? Fuxi and Shennong taught without punishing them, Emperors Yao and Shun controlled without anger, and when it came to civil and military affairs, they each made laws at their own time. Rituals are made according to the circumstances. Etiquette and laws are determined by the time. Orders are made in accordance with the appropriateness. Soldiers, armor and equipment are all used according to their purpose.'"

"Therefore Lord Shang said: 'If you don't follow the same rules in governing the world, you don't have to follow the ancient rules to benefit the country!'"

"The king of Tang and Wu prospered without cultivating the ancients, and the Yin and Xia Dynasties were destroyed because they did not follow the rituals. However, those who oppose the ancients are not necessarily wrong, and those who follow the rituals are not necessarily right."

"You have no doubt!"

"."

Ying Zheng read this entire update.

His vision is very clear.

He originally advocated the reform of the world, which was actually based on this article. At the beginning of the founding of the Qin Dynasty, he actually did not rectify the government and recuperate on a case-by-case basis. It also stems from this, because Ying Zheng and Shang Yang had the same views, and they firmly believed that it was not good for the world. Cleaning up the old political traditions and only doing some superficial affairs will not help at all.

Superficial changes that do not involve the fundamental political principles of the world, do not involve the royal tradition, or retain the old traditions, cannot be comprehensive and profound, nor can they be stable and sustained. Once the storm surges, the old foundations and old ideas will resurrect, so Ying Zheng Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, it has always firmly promoted the great destruction and establishment of the country, intending to conquer the world and rebuild a new world.

It’s just ten years of innovation without much achievement.

The old political traditions of the world are still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the courtiers who originally supported the reform have gradually integrated with the traditions, forming a new political tradition. This force has now dominated the court, and the reforms of the past ten years in the Qin Dynasty have also rapidly disappeared, and the entire Qin Dynasty returned to the old path of the world.

The country was trembling and paralyzed, and various rumors and man-made disasters followed one after another.

Under the increasingly political trend throughout the world, Ying Zheng himself was actually shaken.

It's just that I'm a little unwilling.

So he made a final struggle.

That is, burning books.

He intended to use this administrative method to forcibly reverse the trend of pedantic politics in the world. However, this last resort method, with little effect, caused greater turmoil in the world. The louder the opposition from the courtiers, the more powerful the government was. The accumulated changes were shattered into pieces by the impact.

It also started from this time.

The imperial court of the Qin Dynasty became more and more oriented towards the political tradition.

Li Si and other reform forces, who were originally determined to innovate, gradually became silent and restrained when they saw the situation. In the following years, Da Qin completely fell into the swing of political tradition, which in turn caused greater chaos and turmoil in the world, and he also began to turn By promoting the solemn and solemn virtues of the holy king, the cruel conflicts in the world were calmed.

He also became indifferent to the reform.

His subsequent determination to reform was actually due to Ji Heng.

In Ji Heng, Ying Zheng seemed to see the shadow of 'Shang Yang'. Although unlike Shang Yang's aggressiveness, Ji Heng obviously seemed a bit lazy, but the two of them had one thing in common, which was their firm will to reform. He had read "The Book of Shang Jun" many times in the past and was already familiar with some of Shang Jun's ideas. In Shang Jun's view, the success of a country's reform movement depends on whether its reform content is comprehensive and profound, and also depends on the country's understanding of the reform. The depth of the betrayal of political tradition.

The reforms implemented by Shang Yang in Qin.

From the beginning to the end, Shang Yang was extremely clear-headed, knowing the ultimate goal of the reform and how to make it the most profound and thorough.

At this point, neither Ying Zheng nor Li Si can achieve the sobriety and thoroughness of Shang Yang. Often when they encounter something that needs to be explored by themselves, they will subconsciously return to the royal tradition and have no regard for their own country's system and It is also difficult to get a full picture of the form of civilization. We can only take a step at a time. In this case, many officials will naturally want to play political tricks.

This is understandable and inevitable.

Because Da Qin itself is very unclear about the way forward, it has become more and more difficult to govern the world since the reform.

In the end, it was inevitable that there would be vacillation.

When Ji Heng said in prison that day that his ambition was to "change the country, change the way of governance, change livelihoods, and change the people," Ying Zheng instantly had some direction for the way forward for Da Qin, but he didn't know how to "change" specifically. It was still very vague, and he vaguely realized that Ji Heng's change was not the change he wanted.

So he needs Ji Heng's guidance, but he must always be wary of Ji Heng.

Just as he said when he first talked to Ji Heng, he didn't have that much time.

It is impossible for him to reuse Ji Heng, and he will never allow Ji Heng to become an official. Such a figure who can promote the world's reform with his own ability is simply beyond Fusu's control.

Especially Shang Yang who came first. Shang Yang and Qin Xiaogong were so harmonious as monarchs and ministers. But after Qin Xiaogong died, Shang Yang showed his own opinions that were different from the reform, and wanted to limit the monarch's power. This was what actually killed Shang Yang. The reason is that Ji Heng's political views are different from those of Da Qin. If Ji Heng is allowed to serve as an official, with Ji Heng's talents, he can easily control the court in a few or more than ten years.

At that time, the world will be hard to say.

He didn't dare to gamble.

I don't believe in Fusu's ability either.

So he would rather imprison Ji Heng for the rest of his life.

Ying Zheng recovered his mind.

He looked at the documents sent from Xianyang again, with a hint of indifference in his eyes.

In the past, he would not have cared too much about Du He and others' attitude of "not worrying about troubles a hundred miles away, but focusing on troubles thousands of miles away". However, since Da Qin continues to firmly follow the road of innovation, it means that no matter in the world The old traditions inherited in the past and the political traditions formed by the Great Qin court in the past ten years have become stumbling blocks on the road of reform in the Great Qin Dynasty.

That's it.

How can we let it continue to block the road? !

He took out a blank bamboo slip from under his body, picked up a brush and wrote two words on the bamboo slip.

“More laws!!!”

Subsequently.

He put the bamboo slips on the fire and shouted directly outside the car: "Someone, please send this bamboo slips to Xianyang and hand it over to Fusu."

soon.

Then a eunuch entered the car respectfully, raised the bamboo slip above his head, took it, and then walked out softly.

Ying Zheng was not worried at all about whether Fusu could understand his intentions. Even if Fusu couldn't understand, Ji Heng would definitely understand. Although he didn't know whether Ji Heng had actually read "The Book of Shang Jun" , but out of recognition of Ji Heng's political sense, he believed that Ji Heng could understand his intentions.

And that's enough.

After Fu Su's matter was settled, Ying Zheng went to his desk again to deal with the memorial.

When I saw Hu Hai making his own decisions in Hengshan County, I couldn't help but frown, but after thinking about it, I just passed by.

He knew Hu Hai's thoughts well.

And having Hu Hai in front is not a bad thing. At least it can make the layout of the court a lot clearer, and it can save a lot of time in the future.

The carriage creaked and creaked outside.

Sunrise time.

The First Emperor's hunting camp has arrived at Penglize in Lujiang.
