Prime Minister of Great Qin

"just……"

Zhang Liang chewed on these two words and said with a strange expression: "Does this include me?"

"Of course it includes." Ji Heng said: "History is very crowded, and most people are not qualified to appear on it. Most of the people who appear on it only have a few words, and their words are unclear."

"What the world really knows."

"It is never a person's complete past and experience, just some fragments of words, and this will also be the most common understanding of this person in the world."

"In the hearts of many officials in the Qin Dynasty, you are indeed a person whose sins are too numerous to write down, but you may only leave a few short words in history."

"Abandon darkness and turn to light."

Hear the words.

Zhang Liang smiled.

Light and shade, how easy can it be to decide? But if he really offered advice to Qin, I'm afraid he would also get a lot of infamy.

He straightened his mind and said, "What do you want to do?"

"There's no rush." ​​Ji Heng said calmly, "I'll take you to the palace tomorrow and meet those officials you hated so much."

"But not before that."

"You and I can compare it first and see if we have the same ideas."

Ji Heng looked at Zhang Liang with a smile.

Zhang Liang frowned, looked at Ji Heng curiously, and asked puzzledly: "What do you mean?"

"The personnel of the Restructuring Office have not yet been decided." Ji Heng said: "You know the officials in Guandong better, and I am more familiar with Guanzhong, so we choose officials from each other to join them."

"By the way, let's see if you and I are of the same mind, have the same views on restructuring, and have the same criteria for selecting officials."

Done.

Ji Heng looked at Ying Sinian and said, "Si Nian, go to the study to get some pieces of paper, and then get two pieces of pen and ink."

Ying Sinian nodded.

He also hurriedly walked towards the study.

Hu Hai and Young Master Gao looked at each other and became interested.

This is not a good choice.

There are a lot of talents in Guanzhong and Guandong. Even if the restructuring involves a wide range of people, only a small number of people will be selected to join it, so who to choose to join it is particularly critical.

And this degree is also worthy of scrutiny.

If one of the selected officials is too strong, it will gradually take over and make the situation one-sided, which is very detrimental to the restructuring.

Therefore, there must be checks and balances.

Guandong is indeed in the limelight right now, but overall, it is still not as good as Guanzhong, so it is not that easy to achieve a balance.

Zhang Liang was silent.

When Ji Heng said it, he already understood what Ji Heng was thinking, which was to see if he and Ji Heng had the same ideas, and in his opinion, who should be prioritized in terms of the selection criteria for the restructuring and the officials selected? back.

This all takes a lot of effort.

He looked at Ji Heng, with a smile on his lips, and said lightly: "Since Brother Ji is so elegant, let's give it a try."

"I also want to see how far behind Brother Ji I am."

soon.

Ying Sinian came with pen, ink and paper, and the ink had already been polished.

Ji Heng did not start writing immediately.

Instead, he drank wine leisurely and waited for Zhang Liang to think about it. His speech was a bit sudden, and Zhang Liang did need some time to prepare.

At least you have to organize your own restructuring ideas.

Hu Hai and others also slowly approached, staring at the two of them with curious expressions. They were also very curious as to which people they would choose in the end and what criteria they would use.

Half an hour passed.

The two of them never made any move.

However, both Ying Sinian, Hu Hai, Gongzi Gao and others were very calm and even brought a bed and mats for themselves.

Waited for a while.

It was completely dark.

Zhang Liang finally nodded. He reached out, picked up the pen on the desk, thought for a moment, and wrote down a name first.

At this time.

Ji Heng then started writing.

After both of them had written the first name, Ying Sinian reached out and took it, and then read out the names on the two pieces of paper.

One is Meng Yi.

One was somewhat unexpected.

It’s Chen Ping!

Seeing this, Hu Hai and Young Master Gao looked at each other, with a hint of surprise in their eyes. Meng Yi and the others could actually guess that after all, the Meng family was so prominent and no one was involved, so it couldn't be justified.

But Chen Ping?

How could he be the first to be named?

In terms of military merit, he is not as good as Han Xin and Liu Ji, and in terms of internal affairs, he is not as good as Xiao He and Cao Shen. If he hadn't relied on Guanzhong, I'm afraid something would have happened to the Three Jins.

Chen Ping was not the primary candidate. Several people looked at Han Zhangliang suspiciously, as if they had thought of something, with a hint of disdain in their eyes.

Zhang Liang is afraid that he has selfish motives.

After the Guandong Rebellion, Zhang Liang's main area of ​​activity was in the Three Jins. For a long period of time, he suppressed Chen Ping.

Therefore, Chen Ping is the first choice.

Maybe he is secretly promoting himself.

Thinking of this factor, several people couldn't help but feel a bit of contempt and disdain for Zhang Liang.

However, to their surprise, Ji Heng nodded to Zhang Liang's choice and seemed to agree with it, which made Hu Hai and others look puzzled.

Hu Haikou said bluntly: "Ji Heng, he clearly has selfish motives in choosing Chen Ping. Among the heroes in Guandong, Chen Ping cannot be ranked first."

Ji Heng glanced at Hu Hai, smiled, and asked, "Then do you know the selection criteria? And why I chose Meng Yi?"

Hu Hai was stunned.

He said bluntly: "It's because of Mengshi. Mengshi is now very prominent in the court. How can we not let Mengshi participate in such a major event as the restructuring?" "That's why."

"There should be a counterpart in Kanto."

"Not to mention Han Xin, who was born in the military, at least it should be Liu Ji, right?!"

Hu Hai expressed his opinion.

Ji Heng shook his head with a smile and said: "That's wrong, Meng's prominence in the court has nothing to do with the selection of officials this time."

"Because the criteria for selecting the chief officials are not based on status, status, background, etc., but on the fundamentals of Da Qin."

“The foundation of Da Qin is law!”

"Meng Yi used to be a court official and was in charge of the laws and regulations of the Qin Dynasty. He knows the law very well, and Chen Ping is also a legal official."

"So their identities are equal."

"After many ups and downs, Meng Yi gained a better understanding of the laws and regulations of the Qin Dynasty, while Chen Ping climbed up from a humble beginning and also had a deep understanding of the laws and regulations. Therefore, both of them are actually representatives of the law."

"It's just that one person is in Dharma Pass."

"One person is Fa Guandong."

Listening to Ji Heng's explanation, Hu Hai and others suddenly realized that they were also a little ashamed, and looked at Zhang Liang with a guilty look.

Only now did they understand the villain's heart.

Zhang Liang's expression remained as usual.

I didn't care at all about the misunderstandings of Hu Hai and others, and continued to write the second name.

The same goes for Ji Heng.

Ying Sinian read out the two names again.

A Xiao He.

The other one is Zhang Cang.

They had no objection to the appearance of these two people. Zhang Cang was in charge of the economy and Xiao He was in charge of internal affairs. To a large extent, they were similar.

Overall, Zhang Cang is actually slightly taller.

However, there has been a rumor from the outside world that Xiao He was discovered and recommended by Zhang Cang, so it is unlikely that there will be much conflict between the two.

One is law.

The second is wealth.

So who would be the third candidate?

Neither Zhang Liang nor Ji Heng stopped, and continued to write down the third name. However, before writing, Zhang Liang actually waited on purpose, as if he was a little undecided.

After Ji Heng finished writing, Zhang Liang wrote down the name completely.

Ji Heng's writing is brilliant.

And Zhang Liang wrote about Li Zuoche.

This also surprised Hu Hai and others. These two names were somewhat unexpected.

Can Liao really be considered Guanzhong?

He was indeed born in Guanzhong, but his fortune and rise were basically in Guandong, but now he serves in the imperial court.

As for Li Zuoche, it is even more outrageous.

This man is a surrendered general.

It was recovered when Han Xin attacked Zhao. If this was based on the standard of military generals, there would be no surrendered generals. Da Qin lacked everything except generals.

Ji Heng seemed to have guessed the doubts of Hu Hai and others, and took the initiative to explain: "The third is a soldier, and Liao is a general who rose from the bottom in Guanzhong."

"Li Zuoche was born into a noble family, and then he experienced ups and downs, and finally reached where he is now. To some extent, both of them have climbed up step by step from a low status. It's just that one has a low status in birth, and the other is a reduced general. "

"They are very familiar with most of the conditions in the army. They also have a relatively deep understanding of the Great Qin Army's military merit system, and they benefit from it."

"So the two are generally similar."

"This is determined by military merit."

"I know you may recognize Han Xin more, but Han Xin has no equal in Guanzhong, so we can't add Meng Tian to the list."

"This is obviously impossible."

"Moreover, Han Xin is such a genius. The restructuring is aimed more at ordinary people. His suggestions are destined to be different from ordinary people, so we can only take them from below."

Hu Hai nodded.

I am also convinced by this reason.

Han Xin is indeed a very powerful person. He is obviously not from a good background, but he fights extremely vigorously. Da Qin can be regarded as a general, but no one in the government and the public dares to boast, and dares to defeat Han Xin reliably.

He really wasn't a good fit.

Then, Ji Heng started writing again, but Zhang Liang didn't write anymore. It wasn't because he couldn't, but because he couldn't compare.

Ji Heng wrote next about Li Erlang.

Li Bing's son.

The only thing he could write was Gongshuzhang, but although Gongshuzhang was a descendant of Gongshupan, it was still far behind Li Erlang.

And the closer you get to the more subdivided candidates, the less Kanto can offer. It's not that these people are not talented enough, but they have no chance to show off, let alone prove themselves.

It must be incomparable.

Therefore, after hesitating for a while, he stopped writing very neatly.

But after Ji Heng finished writing his list, Zhang Liang still filled in the missing candidates, but few people in the Qin Dynasty knew those names.

but.

Zhang Liang is also quite proud.

My thoughts and those of Ji Heng are very similar to some extent. They both start from the most important foundation of Da Qin and then extend to the branches.

The rosters written by Zhang Liang and Ji Heng were eventually accepted by Ying Sinian.

When he goes back later, he will also put it on Fusu's case and let Fusu make the decision.

But Ying Sinian was still convinced.

This roster will eventually be approved because the reasons are very good. (End of chapter)
