Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 370: The position of young master? (Please subscribe)
As Zhang Cang seconded the proposal, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed.

Especially Duch.

His pupils shrank, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock.

It was not Zhang Cang who was shocked.

Zhang Cang is a close minister of Su, and this matter is closely related to Zhang Cang, so it is natural for Zhang Cang to agree. However, Feng Quji's words were completely beyond his expectations and caught him by surprise. and.

He really couldn't figure out why Feng Quji agreed to this ridiculous opinion?
He is the Prime Minister of Great Qin, how can he be so arbitrary?
Just because Fusu is the crown prince?
Can you do such evil and misbehave?
How dare Feng Quji agree to such a statement full of flaws and full of indignation?
Is Feng Quji going crazy?
Du He's eyes were red with anger, and his pupils were about to burst into flames.

He wanted to question Feng Quji loudly, why did he agree with Fusu's childish idea?

Doesn't he really regard the affairs of the Qin Dynasty as child's play?
Ridiculous!

But he didn't dare to refute.

He could only be sulking alone, but the sullen look on his face was not concealed at all.

He no longer cares about expression management.

Feng Quji is the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty. His voice is too powerful to influence other people's views and opinions. Now that Zhang Cang is making noises from the side, I am afraid that other economic ministers will also be shaken.

This is extremely detrimental to him.

Feng Quji saw the change in Du He's expression.

He glanced across Du He's face lightly, with a hint of disappointment and displeasure in his eyes.

He recovered his mind, cupped his hands and said, "His Highness said that it is better to use the remaining brave men to chase the poor bandits. It is indeed a bit bold, but overall, it is a good strategy. Maybe the ministers are confused."

"I really can't figure out the reason."

"But that's not the original idea."

"We, the courtiers, have not thought about it, let alone thought about it. How could we have guessed that the local nobles and scholars are so powerful?"

"If you calculate mentally but not intentionally, you already have a better chance of winning."

"also."

"Do you still remember the purpose of His Majesty's tour?"

"It's just to spread to the world the concept of cultivating human affairs to defeat heaven."

"Now His Majesty's tour is just to spread this concept in the Kanto region, but in fact he has not made any achievements."

"There is no real progress in implementation."

"If you just shout a slogan in vain and spend so much effort, wouldn't it seem hollow and vain?"

"And if you can combine 'Cultivating Human Affairs to Conquer Heaven' with His Highness's intention to build a warehouse in Kanto, you can clearly perceive that what His Highness is planning is completely implementing 'Cultivating Human Affairs to Conquer Heaven'. "

"This must be the subconscious reaction of people all over the world."

heard.

Linghu Fan, Zhao and other officials looked at each other thoughtfully.

What Feng Quji said was true.

From the perspective of Kanto, the imperial court announced that it would practice "cultivating personnel to conquer nature" and then built an "emergency warehouse" in Kanto. This is completely reasonable and logical, and will not cause too many people to resist and follow. disturbed.

Even if you really sense something is wrong.

Even they couldn't imagine Fusu's boldness, how could these officials in Guandong imagine it?
Thinking of this.

Their expressions softened slightly.

Feng Quji added: "According to His Highness, this warehouse is not actually used for storage, but is only used for transshipment. The first attempt is not for transshipment, but to test the actual situation of the place and use it." This further rectifies the local administration."

"The warehouse was built by the imperial court."

"The imperial court will definitely send heavy troops to guard it, so the place where the warehouse is located will be difficult for traitors to steal in a short time."

"And when the local area transports grain, grass, salt, iron and other materials that the people depend on for their livelihood to these warehouses, the control of the local area has actually been handed over to the court. Without salt and iron, even if there is chaos in the local area, there will be less If you are sharp, you will be easily quelled by the court."

"Plus."

"The imperial court controls salt, iron, grain and grass."

"Local people will not easily be coaxed by the anti-Qin forces at the bottom."

"It can also achieve a certain degree of peace of mind."

"It is basically impossible to shake the foundation of the imperial court in Guandong by just relying on local officials and powerful people without coercing enough people at the bottom. And if they really dare to rebel, the imperial court can even distribute the salt, iron, grain and grass. It is used to inspire the people at the bottom to suppress these rebellious parties."

"Under such circumstances."

"Whether it's powerful or officials with ulterior motives, they don't dare to blatantly cause trouble."

"They themselves lost the opportunity."

"It has also lost the qualification to coerce the people at the bottom."

"So what His Highness said next is to conduct an inventory of the government offices related to the economy of Guandong. It will be easily implemented because the imperial court controls the life throats of a certain place and they have to follow it. In order not to intensify the conflict between Guandong and Guanzhong, the imperial court If there is a conflict, a certain degree of concessions will be made to calm local emotions and prevent the local government from being too frightened."

"So His Highness's idea has a high probability of success."

"Because the attack was a surprise."

"In the past period of time in the Great Qin Dynasty, the thoughts of the court officials were to rely on time to smooth out the differences between Guandong and Guanzhong little by little, and to pursue long-term peace and stability in the two places. However, what they gained after repeated forbearance was not the peace between the two places. Relaxation, on the contrary, will further intensify the contradictions, and this has already shown that the imperial court’s past strategy towards Guandong was a failure.”

"In that case."

"Then it's time to make some changes."

"Let tens of millions of people in Kanto completely wake up."

"Let them understand."

"The era of the Six Kingdoms has long passed."

"Now the world belongs to Great Qin!"

"Living in the past is a recipe for death."

"The policies implemented by His Highness in the past two years involve many aspects, and most of them focus on 'officials'. Therefore, Feng Quji has reason to believe that under the leadership of His Highness, within a few years, Daqin will have more There are many useful 'officials'."

"These 'first-time officials' are indeed not as capable as the officials in the past."

"But at least they have awe of Qin Lu."

"And this is exactly what the Qin people in Guandong do not have. With these newly trained 'officials' serving in Guandong, the imperial court's control over Guandong will only gradually deepen. This is obviously more in line with the national conditions of the Qin Dynasty."

"However, the situation in the world is changing rapidly."

"The anti-Qin forces will not really sit back and wait for death."

"They will definitely take action."

"If the Qin Dynasty still adopts the strategy of maintaining stability in response to all changes, it will certainly be able to deal with it in an orderly manner, but in this case, the imperial court will always be in a passive state. The imperial court still has spare power now, but what if it happens in the future?"

"So when it changes, it changes."

"If the imperial court does not seize the opportunity of the weakening of the nobles and scholars to further strengthen its control over Guandong, and given time, the nobles and scholars will make a comeback, or collude with powerful officials with ulterior motives, it will only cause greater harm to the world. Can the imperial court really suppress it so easily?"

"Furthermore."

"They suffered such a big loss this time, how can they really not have a long memory?"

"so."

"I, Feng Quji, support His Highness's idea."

"The strategy of governing the country is indeed based on stability, but the false and the true, the true and the false, make it difficult to guard against, and sometimes it can be a good strategy to break the situation. Since His Highness is so determined, how can we, as ministers of the Great Qin, retreat?"

"I should follow His Highness' footsteps and cut through the waves and thorns."

aside.

Zhang Cang also stood up and said: "I, Zhang Cang, have the same view."

"To deal with the enemy, we must be as fierce and courageous as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. The Qin Dynasty can plow the Xiongnu and sweep away the holes, and it can also uproot the anti-Qin forces."

"Maybe it won't really be able to be cleared away."

"Targeting only the nobles and scholars can stop the rumors in the world."

"If we can go one step further, we can suppress local officials with ulterior motives and powerful locals."

"Wouldn't the situation in Da Qin be better?" "Now that His Highness is so enterprising, how can I, Zhang Cang, object?"

heard.

The other economic ministers looked grim.

They looked at each other secretly, their eyes were quite deep and meaningful.

They glanced at Du He imperceptibly, and vaguely understood some of the situation. They and others seemed to have been tricked by Du He and others. Now that Feng Quji had made his attitude clear, Zhang Cang, a close minister of His Highness, also Strongly agree.

If they still persist in their obsession, they may really want to harm His Highness.

Linghu Fan cupped his hands and said, "I didn't understand His Highness's good intentions just now, but now that Prime Minister Feng Quji has awakened me, and Censor Zhang Cang has reminded me, it's like waking up from a dream. I also agree with Your Highness's idea."

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

"."

As more and more people agreed, there was no longer any opposition in the palace.

Almost everyone in the hall expressed their attitude.

Only one person.

Never spoke.

This person is Shaofu Du He.

Regarding Du He's situation, everyone in the hall was paying attention consciously or unconsciously. After everyone else finished speaking, they all looked over in unison.

Duhe's face was livid.

His face was so gloomy that water could drip from his face.

He was extremely angry.

He originally wanted to use this to get other officials to stand with him, oppose Fusu's idea, and then keep his position. Unexpectedly, with Feng Quji's defection, the situation on the court changed drastically in an instant.

He suddenly became the target of public criticism.

He also knows.

There is too little room for struggle.

Fusu obviously couldn't tolerate him anymore, so he kept staring deliberately.

Don't give him any trouble at all.

As the situation turned, he was helpless.

Du He's face changed again and again, and finally his eyes turned red, and he lowered his head weakly. A smile that was uglier than crying appeared on his face, and he said: "Chen Du He also agrees with His Highness's view."

"There may be certain risks, but if the monarch and his ministers work together, it may not be impossible."

"I also firmly believe that the imperial court should forge ahead with determination."

"Your Highness is wise."

heard.

A smile finally appeared on Fusu's face.

He cupped his hands and said: "This is just Fusu's humble opinion, but it is so appreciated and valued by all the ministers. Fusu is also deeply grateful. Here, Fusu thanks all the ministers."

Fusu bowed to everyone.

"I am terrified." All the ministers bowed quickly.

Fusu raised his body, a rosy look flashed across his pale face, and he said in a deep voice: "Since all the ministers have no objections, this matter will be handed over to the courtiers for discussion in a few days. Fusu will also sort out a report in the next few days. If the ministers have no objections to the document by then, Fusu will rush to deliver the document to His Majesty."

"Do you have any objections?"

"Your Highness is wise." All the ministers said in unison.

Fusu nodded slightly.

He glanced across the hall indifferently, and finally fixed his gaze on Du He, with a cold look and contempt in his eyes.

This made Du He feel nervous.

A bad thought suddenly came into my mind.

His expression changed even more.

At this time.

Fusu said indifferently: "I had a discussion with Young Master Du He earlier."

"When Mr. Du He was discussing with me, he thought that he was old and his energy was declining. He could no longer maintain high-intensity political affairs. His thoughts were gradually becoming more conservative and he could no longer keep up with the progress of the court, so he could no longer keep up with the progress of the court. I will retire from the post of Shaofu in the future."

"Du Shaofu is a loyal minister of the Qin Dynasty."

"I have devoted endless efforts to the Qin Dynasty to unify the world and establish and govern the country. Fusu is also very grateful. However, important matters of the court cannot be forced, let alone perfunctory. Therefore, although Fusu is very reluctant, he can only agree."

"However, the Shaofu is the most important palace in the country."

“Don’t live without a master for a day.”

"Therefore, in the next few days, the court will also discuss the candidates for the Young Master. His Majesty is far away in Kanto and will not be able to return for a while. Therefore, Fusu will also be fully responsible for the appointment of the Young Master. You are all economic ministers. Please invite me when the time comes. Be present together."

heard.

Linghu Fan and others were stunned for a moment.

Then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face, and he said quickly: "I am waiting for your order."

Done.

Fusu waved his sleeves and left without looking back.

When Fusu walked away, the surprise on the faces of Linghu Fan and others could no longer be concealed. No one among them asked Du He if this was true. After all, His Highness had said it himself. Even if it was not, it was still true at the moment. .

And they also figured it out later.

Duhe was clearly plotting against them.

Du He has already plotted against himself and others, so why should he save face now?

But after all, when we get along, we still have to make the decision on the surface. After a few simple words of emotion, we each left.

The looks he looked at other economic ministers were somewhat hostile.

Duhe went down.

The court eventually needs someone to take charge of the economy.

And they are the best economic ministers in the court and in the world, so why not choose from them for the position of Shaofu?
What's more, His Highness also deliberately told them to go and attend before leaving.

Isn’t this a reminder to choose from them?

Their current official positions are not low.

But that was the Shaofu, an important minister of the imperial court.

Real power is overwhelming.

How could they not be moved?
Compared to the ecstasy of others, Zhang Cang only felt his hands and feet were cold.

He just noticed that Fusu looked at him specifically before leaving. He and Fusu had known each other for so long, so he didn't know Fusu's intentions. Fusu clearly wanted him to fight.

Those words were also meant for myself.

It's just that it's unreasonable for him to plot against the censor and compete for the position of Shaofu.

When.

He may also antagonize other economic ministers.

Doesn't this force him into a pit of fire?
Zhang Cang smiled wryly.

He cupped his hands with everyone and left with a gloomy face.

It's just that my mind is full of mixed emotions.
