Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 302: The crown prince seeks a wise order? ! (Please subscribe)
"Han Fei." Ji Heng said in a deep voice.

Fusu lowered his head and did not dare to look at him. He actually knew in his heart that Ji Heng supported Shang Yang's method more than Han Fei's method, because 'change' was the answer Ji Heng wanted.

However, as Ji Heng said, he could indeed choose Shang Yang's method.

Just let him firmly implement Shang Yang's method.

He can't do it!

He has indeed changed a lot in the past two or three years.

However, some fundamental benevolence has only been hidden and has not really disappeared. Regarding Shang Yang's method, he admitted that he has always been biased deep in his heart. Although he is trying to overcome it, the impact he has received over the years is not due to these two. It can be reversed in three years.

If there is no way to govern the world, the country will not follow the ancient laws.

Legislation is made at that time, and rituals are made according to events.

In Shang Yang's eyes, the laws of the world should change with the situation. Rituals can change, laws can also change, and they even have to change constantly. Only in this way can we always keep in line with the current way of governing the world, and can we always maintain the direction of the country. Previously, Fusu thought that he did not have this kind of almost terrifying insight, and he did not dare to have too many extravagant hopes.

If he firmly chooses Shang Yang's method.

From now on, it will only become "change for the sake of change, governance for the sake of governance". Under such circumstances, the situation in the world will only become more and more corrupt, and a crisis may even break out in this kind of vacillation. This is not what Fusu wants to see, nor is it what Fusu wants to see. Fusu can handle it.

So Fusu finally gave up Shang Yang's method.

Even if this was advocated by the First Emperor.

Compared with Shang Yang's method, Han Fei's method is actually quite mediocre.

Also pay more attention to the monarch’s abilities!

Things in the four directions must be in the center. If the saint holds the key, the four directions will follow suit.

This test of the monarch's talent is in line with the national system implemented by the Qin Dynasty in the past, and it is also what the monarch of the Qin Dynasty must do. Fusu admits that he has read "Han Feizi" many times and understands the ideas of "Han Feizi". In today's world, it is also the easiest and most acceptable method for Fusu to accept.

Because it has to be in the center!

If something really happened in the world, he would be willing to shoulder it alone.

Think of this.

Fusu raised his head and said with firm eyes: "The law of Great Qin from now on is Han Fei's law."

Ji Heng calmly withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "Now that you have made your choice, you must always hold firm to this belief. You are the prince of Qin. The world is in chaos, and you cannot be in chaos. The world will come and go again, but you cannot go back again."

Fusu cupped his hands and said, "Fusu will remember your words."

Ji Heng nodded and said: "Since you choose Han Fei's method, the matter will be from all directions, and the court's solution will also come from all directions."

heard.

Fusu's gaze was slightly different.

He wondered: "Can court affairs be resolved by all parties?"

Ji Heng chuckled and said slowly: "There is no distinction between the four directions in the center, so why not?"

"It's just a matter of time and method."

"But in the end, we reach the same destination through different paths."

"Please sir, teach me." Fusu said thoughtfully and quickly.

Ji Heng stood with his hands behind his hands and looked at the sky, as if through the thick clouds, his eyes fell on Guandong, Yunmeng, and the coastal mountains and rivers of Wuyue. He said lightly: "Sun Tzu said: 'The love of a soldier is the master of speed. , take advantage of others' inadequacy, and use the unexpected method to attack what they don't guard against.'"

"Even if the troops are expensive and fast, food and grass still need to go first."

"The same principle applies."

"The matters in the court can be done quickly or slowly, but if you only replace the officials in the court, you will end up treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Changing the soup without changing the medicine. No matter how many people you replace in the court, it will still not help. The court will still be the same. Court.”

"There is no point in changing people if you don't change your ideas."

"Just the second Duch."

"So this should not be done quickly, but slowed down."

"Gather up food widely and build walls high."

"What the court needs to replace is a large number of officials who are stubborn in their own opinions, but they cannot be replaced by a group of officials who are also stubborn in their own opinions. Therefore, what the court needs to do now is to train a group of officials who can replace these old ministers."

"This is the most important thing!"

After hearing Ji Heng's words, Fusu was thoughtful.

He had already guessed Ji Heng's thoughts, and also knew that Ji Heng's intention was to let him clarify his own method. This would be Da Qin's idea of ​​governing the country in the future, and it would also be the criterion for officials to be selected in the future. Officials carried out some screening, allowing more and more officials to abandon the pedantic political ideas of the past and switch to new ideas.

Then the replacement of the court was accomplished without any bloodshed.

Fusu looked at Ji Heng respectfully.

Ji Heng continued: "Your method of breaking the situation has always existed."

"Have you heard about the First Emperor's stay in Guandong?"

Fusu nodded.

The First Emperor's tour was such an important matter, how could he not pay attention to it as the son of man?

Fusu said: "According to the information I received, my father used the information gap to plot against the remaining people and scholars in Guandong, making them mistakenly think that the imperial court was spending so much effort to target them, but in fact it was just a feint to force them to flee. , wait until the rebel forces near Yunmeng are weakened, then launch a thunderous attack and purge the officials of several nearby counties."

"Now this method is so successful that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and the scholars did not expect it. Even if they react now, it is probably too late. After this incident, the local government has also changed its view on Qin's politics."

Ji Heng nodded.

He said calmly: "The First Emperor's targeting of the remnants and scholars of the Six Kingdoms during his tour is not within the scope of discussion. The only thing you need to pay attention to is that the First Emperor did not assign officials to this."

"That's all you need to care about."

"The transfer of non-commissioned officers of the Beiyuan Army has not been completed."

"You may also know in your heart that this was reserved for you intentionally by the First Emperor."

"The purpose is to further advance your affairs."

Fusu smiled bitterly and said: "I do know about this matter, and I also know that my father trusts me and provides me with a lot of convenience in my subsequent work."

Ji Heng said coldly: "Do you really only think about this much?"

heard.

Fu Su was taken aback.

He looked at Ji Heng with some surprise and said doubtfully: "Sir, Fusu is a little unclear. Isn't the vacancy of local officials just to provide opportunities for the subsequent transfer of Beiyuan sergeants? Is there another explanation?"

He was indeed a little confused.

Ever since he heard about the incident in Guandong, he had actually been planning secretly. He was planning to wait until the court was stable and then send someone to send orders to the Beiyuan army to further promote the transfer of non-commissioned officers so that the issue of military honors could be alleviated again. However, he just heard what Ji Heng said. , which made him startled.

Ji Heng snorted coldly and said indifferently: "The First Emperor has spent so much energy, and you only use it to fill the gaps?"

Fusu's face turned pale, but he didn't dare to refute.

Ji Heng said coldly: "Fusu, you need to understand that these measures taken by the First Emperor in Guandong have indeed effectively dealt a blow to the arrogance of the nobles and scholars of the six countries, and also severely frightened the local officials. , but you also know that the nobles and scholars of the six countries will not give up and will definitely fight back. When the First Emperor's tour is over, trouble will definitely arise in these places that have been targeted."

"Furthermore," "The First Emperor has made so many movements, which are just used to fill the vacancies. Don't you think it is a bit wasteful and overkill?"

"Your vision is too narrow."

"You should look at the world and the entire Qin Dynasty."

"There is a slang saying that kills someone while he is sick."

"Now the First Emperor is swaying the world. Although the nobles and scholars of the six countries have the desire to retaliate, they do not have the courage to retaliate. They can only hide with their tails between their legs and dare not show their faces. Therefore, in the next few months, or even most of the year, This will be a rare 'expansion period' for the Qin Dynasty, which the First Emperor gained in exchange for his own exhaustion and even the loss of a lot of vitality."

"During this precious period of time, Da Qin just seized the opportunity to 'conquer cities and seize territories' and 'attack cities and villages' as much as possible, instead of continuing to fight steadily and step by step as in the past. The First Emperor's body could not support the next patrol. , Therefore, if Daqin does not seize this rare period of opportunity, it will be difficult to have it again in the next few years or more."

"What Da Qin should really do now is to completely drive the rivets in Guandong!"

"You have to move hard and fast."

Fusu took a deep breath. He also realized his problem. He seemed to only focus on the things he cared about. As for other things, he rarely had far-reaching insights and rarely truly considered the world situation. He also hurriedly said: "Please sir, teach me."

Ji Heng said in a deep voice: "In extraordinary times, resort to extraordinary measures."

"The nobles and scholars of the six countries will definitely fight back in the future. In this case, how can the imperial court just give up? The two are already at odds with each other, so there is no need to show mercy. When they are afraid to speak out in Guandong, they must go further. Hit them hard."

"And the best way is to issue a 'seeking talent order'."

"This is the order for seeking wisdom." Fusu muttered, but he was also stunned.

Ji Heng said coldly: "It's the order to seek talents."

"Qin Xiaogong issued an order seeking talents and recruited heroes from all over the world. He was finally able to harvest Shang Yang, and then started the great Qin Dynasty for more than a hundred years. Now that the Great Qin is in trouble, why can't it follow suit?"

"and"

"When you seek virtue, it's up to you to decide what is a virtue."

Fu Su concentrated his mind.

Ji Heng continued: "Now the nobles and scholars of the Six Kingdoms do not dare to be too public. Issuing the order to seek talents at this time will undoubtedly cause discord among the nobles and scholars of the Six Kingdoms. And you must not really think that They are all homogeneous internally, among the nobles there are high-ranking families and poor families, among the scholars there are high-ranking scholars and commoners, and everyone has different ambitions."

"Divide and transform, that's the right way!"

"in addition."

"If you want to take action against Du He and other court officials, you must find replacement candidates. But in the court, how many people can really replace these officials? How many of them agree with your political views? In the end, it is just a left hand for the right hand, a futile effort , so the real successors should be people from all over the world who are promoted from humble beginnings. These people will be on your side."

"Otherwise."

"It's time for the officials in the Affairs Office to move their positions."

"Buying horse bones with a thousand gold coins was not suitable before, but now it is suitable. It is time to release the thousand gold coins, and they must be promoted before asking for virtuous orders. Let the world know that the officials who follow you Fusu can be promoted." ."

"Such a request for talents will also make people more attractive."

"The officials in the Affairs Office have worked with you after all. If they can't be promoted, doesn't it mean to tell the world that serving Qin, or at least following you Fusu, will not get any promotion, nor will it How can people be willing to serve as officials if they have more room for promotion? How can they make people willing to serve as officials?"

Fusu's heart moved slightly.

He was moved by Ji Heng's words.

But I'm still a little worried. After all, I can't make the decision on this matter, and if there are remnants of the Six Kingdoms or scholars who hate Da Qin enter, won't it make Guandong, which is already weak in Da Qin's control, even weaker?
Fusu hesitated and said, "Fusu admires your opinion, sir."

"How to prevent the remnants of the Six Kingdoms?"

Ji Heng sneered and said disdainfully: "You are a bit too worried. The order for seeking talents issued this time is not the order for seeking talents from Da Qin, but the order for seeking talents from your prince Fusu. What you are seeking is not to enter the court. They are just serving as local officials. Do you think the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and related scholars are really willing to be small officials in counties?"

"They're not going."

"They don't bother to do the little things."

"These people's hearts are as high as the sky, and they only see glory and splendor. How dare they stoop down to do practical things?"

"Even if someone does get involved, as long as they can do things for Da Qin, what difference does it make if they have different intentions? If they have different intentions, don't officials in other places not have the same?"

"What Da Qin wants now is officials who can do things well."

"That's all."

"Furthermore, if the officials of Great Qin are to be trusted or not, and if the nobles of the six countries are to be trusted with the scholars, the original officials in that place may also become resentful. If they keep each other in check, it may not be bad for Great Qin."

"It's more important."

"If you want to join Qin as an official, you must recognize Qin's laws."

"The scholars are arrogant, and the nobles of the six countries are arrogant. They look down on Qin Fa, especially when they bow their heads?"

"Besides, it's just excessive right now."

"It can disgust the restoration forces and strengthen the imperial court's control over Guandong. Why not?"

heard.

Fusu smiled wryly.

He also didn't expect that Ji Heng actually wanted to issue a "Writing for Talents" in his own name. How could this be done?If the First Emperor knew about it, wouldn't he be getting into trouble?
Fusu said: "Sir, is there something wrong with publishing it in the name of the Crown Prince?"

Ji Heng said indifferently: "Why not?"

"Do you think the First Emperor can't see your thoughts? You need to understand that the final candidate was decided by the First Emperor and was only announced in your name. Moreover, what the First Emperor really cared about was always the court. As long as it does not touch the court, Don, nothing will happen to you."

"and"

"You can directly submit a letter to ask for instructions now."

"Whether it succeeds or not, it will be clear when the time comes."

"If the First Emperor objects, naturally he cannot publish it. If the First Emperor agrees, how can he refuse? As a prince, sometimes you have to dare to take risks. If you don't take any risks, how can you trust others?"

"Sometimes being a little aggressive may not be a bad thing for you."

Fusu's face turned pale.

There was a trace of struggle and hesitation in his eyes.

finally.

He still nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Fusu will remember it. I will write to His Majesty when I get back later and inform him in detail."

Ji Heng nodded.

At this time.

Fusu added: "Fusu came here this time to ask for something."

"Father sent an order a few days ago."

"There are only two words on it."

"More methods."

"Fusu is a little confused. Please help me, sir."
