Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 353 I might have to make friends with Chen Ping in the future! (Please subscribe)

Lama Temple.

Fusu has returned to his bedroom.

He was not in a hurry to rest, but turned around and went to the study.

Sitting at the table.

He casually took out a blank bamboo slip, picked up the already very smooth rabbit hair pen, dipped it in ink, and began to write down the pen.

Fusu wrote very quickly.

It only took less than a cup of tea to write this document.

The content is also very concise.

They conducted a rating on the scholars invited to this banquet. Among them, Chen Ping was in the first row, rated A, and the only one ranked A was Chen Ping, followed by Lu Chen and Yuan An. The evaluation was B. As for Liu An, Yuan Sheng and others, they were classified as C.

Stop writing.

Fusu blew a breath.

Then I thought about it in my mind.

After confirming that there were not many problems with this evaluation, he nodded with satisfaction.

As Chen Ping expected, he had been secretly paying attention to these visitors during this period, and sent his attendants to inquire about these people from time to time, and even sent people to the places where these visitors went to investigate the relevant situation. It is the ability to gain insight into these people as much as possible.

Avoid too much deviation.

but
Chen Ping's appearance was indeed somewhat beyond Fusu's expectations.

It can even be said to be overjoyed.

For such talented people, they are now almost reluctant to take sides, and even less willing to completely tie themselves to other people's forces, especially the situation in the world is unclear. In addition, Qin's "reverse behavior" in recent years has not been popular among the people and has no support in the world. Most scholars actually deviated from Qin Ting.

Only those who want to make an official career and change their humble destiny will really come to Xianyang.

But Chen Ping is here.

Perhaps as Chen Ping himself said.

His background is the biggest limitation. In this era when the nobility is still rampant and the 'scholar' class is still noble, it is actually difficult for a 'scholar' like him who comes from a low-level background to be reused by all parties. First of all, they don't believe them. If they really have real talent and knowledge, I just think that they are opportunistic, or they just want to cater to them. Secondly, appointing people with noble background can also win over more nobles and use the power of the nobles for their own use.

Even someone as talented as Chen Ping will still be left out in the end.

So Chen Ping actually didn't have much choice.

It is inevitable to be an official in Qin Dynasty.

It's just that there are still too few people like Chen Ping in the world. Most of them are actually closely related to the nobility or scholar class, but maybe Qin is the only one in the world who will give them equal opportunities regardless of their family background. .

Fusu shouted outside the palace: "Wei Sheng, send this document to Prime Minister Feng and ask him to arrange the corresponding official position."

soon.

Wei Sheng entered the palace.

He carefully took the bamboo slip and exited carefully.

Since Fusu became the crown prince, his power has become stronger and stronger and more and more frightening. Now he does not dare to make any mistakes and is afraid every day.

Wait for Wei Sheng to go away.

Fusu yawned.

He was not in a hurry to rest, and frowned and said: "A-level people can be prime ministers, B-level people can be courtiers, and C-level people can only be in counties. But with so many scholars coming this time, we can The number of people serving in counties is still very small, and Mr. Ji may have realized this a long time ago, so he told me not to worry about whether there would be less official positions."

"Ugh."

"There are many scholars in the world, but there are only a few who are willing to serve Qin."

"Most people are still trapped under the influence of the 'old system' after all."

"But when Great Qin begins to carry out a thorough reform of 'education', the situation in the world will instantly become clear. The good days of 'nobles' and 'scholars' will also come to an end, allowing more talented people to Talented people are given opportunities to advance and maintain a certain degree of mobility. This may be the basis for the long-term stability of Daqin in the future."

"But it will take a long time to get to this point."

"So what's the problem?"

"It took six or seven generations for the Qin Dynasty to rule the world. At worst, it will take another six or seven generations for the Qin Dynasty to completely eliminate these stubborn people in the world and restore a bright world to the world and a clear world to China. "

"I, Da Qin, can do it!"

Fusu's eyes were firm.

Ever since he had a clear understanding of himself, he felt that his mind was getting clearer and clearer.

Seeing things more and more sharply.

the other side.

Lu Chen and Yuan An sat around a big case.

They were not in a hurry to go back to their room to rest, but were waiting for Chen Ping to come back.

When they were in the Neishi Mansion, they had already noticed something strange, but perhaps they did not have enough vision to see through the reality of these bamboo slips, but they could not see through, and after seeing the conversation between Chen Ping and Fusu, they immediately After realizing it, Chen Ping must have seen something fishy.

So after the two of them took stock together on the way back, they prepared to wait for Chen Ping at Didian to ask about the specific situation.

Otherwise, I would always feel a little uneasy.

Lu Chen whispered: "Brother Yuan, what do you think Chen Ping saw?"

"Judging from the content of this bamboo slip, if it spreads, it will actually have a big impact on scholars like us. It will also further lower the threshold for learning and reduce the cost of learning to a certain extent. However, these bamboo slips are for high-ranking princes and generals. How could it be so simple when Young Master Da Qin made it and passed through Fusu's hands?"

"It's just that in the past two years, Qin Ting's actions have become more and more unreasonable, and it has become increasingly unclear to people. I feel really uneasy."

"I'm afraid that if you don't make a clear judgment, you may end up misunderstanding yourself and your family."

Lu Chen sighed softly.

Yuan Ang frowned slightly and chuckled: "Brother Lu, there is no need to be so panicked. We are just here to see the current situation of Qin Ting. We do not have to become an official. And as His Highness said, Qin Ting has always been a scholar." 'It is unacceptable that there are very few scholars who are willing to serve Qin. If we go to serve, how can we not be valued by the Qin court?"

"Now you and I are actually worried about the same thing."

"That's what Qin Ting wants."

"How ambitious."

"If you just want to stabilize the world, it's actually not that difficult. You just need to take a little rest, try to reduce the disputes in the world, or put aside all kinds of disputes and try to live with the people. In this way, even if the nobles and scholars want to stir up the world, I'm afraid It will also take a lot of effort, but after the First Emperor's tour, the nobles of Guandong will be greatly suppressed, and the world will definitely gain peace for a while."

"But I'm afraid Qin Ting will not be satisfied with this."

"But I want to plot more."

"Once the Qin court has something planned, it will definitely arouse a lot of dissatisfaction in the world and cause various troubles. How can the nobles and scholars who are suppressed at that time not take action? In that case, the world may really be in trouble. It’s going to be some turmoil.”

"Now there's only one thing we need to figure out."

"How big is Qin Ting's ambition?"

"According to my inference, from these bamboo slips, we may be able to get a glimpse of some clues. Unfortunately, we are really blind and cannot see the deeper meaning. At the moment, we can only use Chen Ping to solve our doubts."

Yuan Ang shook his head.

He used to be quite conceited.He believes that he has extraordinary talents and is considered a talented person in the world.

But after coming to Xianyang, he came into contact with some officials. Especially Chen Ping's performance this time, he couldn't help but question himself. What's more, Chen Ping's background was even lower than them. How could such a humble person have such insight? , with such a keen judgment, it is really amazing.

He is ashamed of himself!

The two of them sat cross-legged at the table, speechless.

Looks dissociated.

I don't know what to think.

soon.

There was a steady sound of footsteps outside the door. The footsteps were very steady, and every step they took was steady and steady. When they heard the familiar footsteps, the two of them looked at each other, and the original feeling of drowsiness disappeared in an instant. Wu Cun, the two stood up.

Chen Ping just entered the house.

When he came to meet him, he saw two glaring eyes.

He cupped his hands and said, "Brother Lu, Brother Yuan."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Brother Chen, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Wait for me?" Chen Ping was startled, and then he guessed something. There was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes, and he cupped his hands and said, "I've made you two wait too long."

Yuan Ang waved his hand and said: "It's okay, but Brother Chen probably guessed what we were thinking. Today in the palace, our thoughts were clumsy and we didn't see the deeper meaning of the bamboo slips. But Brother Chen should also know that we are from a higher background." However, scholars from hundreds of families are not as good as those noble families. Every choice they make must be made with great caution, so as not to end up in a bamboo basket, or even bring disaster to the family. Therefore, seeing Brother Chen in the palace seems to be aware of it, it is inevitable. Something happened in my heart."

"I hope Brother Chen can give me some advice."

"Thank you Yuan Ang."

Yuan Ang saluted Chen Ping with a very correct attitude.

Lu Chen also saluted.

Chen Ping's face changed slightly, and he quickly stretched out his hand to help the two of them up, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Yuan, Brother Lu, why are you doing this? It's just that you want me to reveal it. I'm afraid it's really difficult for me. I can really see that. I have learned some things, but these matters involve a lot of important political matters, how dare Chen Ping speak out casually?"

"Please forgive me, dear brothers."

Chen Ping declined.

He really didn't dare to tell it.

If he told this, Fusu would definitely die if he knew about it. What was even more fatal was that he was not familiar with these two people. If they leaked the specific situation, it would have great consequences for the entire world. How could he, Chen Ping, bear the influence of such a serious crime?

Although I don't want to offend, I really can't do anything.

heard.

Lu Chen and Yuan Ang looked at each other, with a hint of disappointment in their eyes.

In fact, they had already guessed it in their hearts.

Otherwise, Chen Ping would not have been deliberately secretive when he was in the Neishi Mansion. But when he really heard Chen Ping's rejection, he was still a little disappointed. However, the two of them had good natures and quickly adjusted their mood. Lu Chen He handed it over again and said: "This is because we didn't think carefully."

"Brother Chen is so cautious and it is right."

"It's us Meng Lang."

Chen Ping said gratefully: "Thank you two dear friends for your understanding."

Just when Chen Ping was secretly relieved, Lu Chen spoke again. He asked: "We don't ask Brother Chen to tell you the specific situation, but Brother Chen can tell us the contents of the bamboo slips in your hand and what they are." Did the information make Brother Chen think so deeply?"

Chen Ping frowned when he heard Lu Chen's words.

A look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

He smiled bitterly, already aware of it.

These two people really want to ask something. If they are determined not to let go, they may not give up.

He touched his chin and lowered his head to think.

He hesitated for a moment.

Chen Ping said with some uncertainty: "If I say that I realized something was wrong, it was actually mainly due to my understanding of Qin Ting. In addition, this matter involved several Da Qin princes, so I couldn't help but think about complicated aspects subconsciously. ”

"Plus."

"The bamboo slip I read is a fable."

"The content is to carve a boat and ask for a sword."

"Both of you have probably heard of this story, so I won't go into details. It is precisely because I have been thinking about it so much, and seeing this story again, that I couldn't help but have more doubts in my heart, and then I thought of some things. I figured it out in an instant, but I was still a little unsure at first, and wondered if I was being too preoccupied."

"But after asking His Highness a few questions, I fully understood."

"My guess was correct."

"The contents of the bamboo slips are indeed amazing, but that doesn't mean they are all."

"The meaning beyond the bamboo slips is more significant."

"Carving a boat to seek a sword, beyond the bamboo slips" Lu Chen and Yuan An chewed in a low voice, frowning, as if they were trying hard to think about the deeper meaning.

see.

Chen Ping cupped his hands and said: "This is all Chen Ping can say. If these two dear friends can't react yet, Chen Ping can't really do anything. It's getting late, so I will go back to rest first. Please come early, dear friends." Rest and don’t need to worry too much about this matter.”

Done.

Chen Ping nodded slightly, then turned and left.

He didn't stay.

There wasn’t much reason to stay.

The reason why he was willing to say a few more words was just because the two people did not ridicule him when they were in the Imperial Palace. In addition, the talents of these two people were not low, and he also had the desire to get acquainted with each other, so he said a few more words. But that can only be said for this reason. If the two of them still can't figure out the clues, it has nothing to do with him.

He said everything he could.

After hearing Chen Ping's words, Lu Chen and Yuan Ang looked solemn and quickly raised their hands and said, "Thank you, Brother Chen, for telling me. We are very grateful."

Chen Ping did not stop and returned directly to his residence.

Lu Chen and Yuan An had returned to the table, but they did not sit down. They just frowned and thought deeply about this sentence. After a long time, Lu Chen shook his head with a wry smile and said: "After all, we are not very talented and have little knowledge, so we cannot see the depth of it, but I, etc. I can't see that other people are even more like this, and there is only one Chen Ping. And today, when Chen Ping noticed it in the palace, His Highness was also quite surprised. It means that when His Highness came, he didn't think that anyone could guess it. Thinking about it like this , maybe it’s normal that I can’t guess.”

"It's just that we are all used to overestimating ourselves."

Yuan Ang nodded.

He has given up now.

From these two short sentences, I really can’t tell anything.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This Chen Ping's talent is probably far above us. With just a few bamboo slips, he can understand so many things and understand so deeply. If he becomes an official in the future, his achievements will not be low. We will You must never offend him, and you must even make friends with him.”

"It should be so." Lu Chen nodded.

Speechless for a while.

The two of them also went back to their rooms.
