Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 676: Cultivating the Wang Family (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

"This matter is of great importance and requires coordination from top to bottom in the court. Now is the time of governance, and civil servants have to pay more attention to everything. I have established four departments, and only two of them are led by ministers. This matter of "Clan Chronicles" is of great concern to The officials worked together, and I decided to hand over this matter to the Ministry of Personnel. I remember that there were many Qin officials who had returned, and some were selected from the Imperial Academy. This is what I handed over to the Ministry of Personnel. This is the first major event, and I hope that all the staff can handle it well.

Zhang Cang couldn't help but ask:
"I wonder who Your Majesty thinks is qualified for the job of Minister of Civil Affairs."

In the Ministry of Personnel, all the officials below the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers are in charge, and their authority is extremely heavy. Even now, no one has taken over the job.

The Second Emperor looked at Zhang Cang and asked everyone present:

"Whoever you think is worthy of this important task, feel free to recommend it."

The two Wang brothers were waiting where they were. They had always wanted this job, but in this situation, such a good thing could not happen to them.

Meng Yi took the lead and said:

"Your Majesty, I think Zhang Cang is qualified for this position."

After two years, both mules and horses have finished walking.Zhang Cang's talent is obvious to everyone, so Meng Yi recommended him.

So everyone agreed, saying:

"I think that Zhang Cang, the imperial magistrate, is worthy of this post."

"Then I will worship Zhang Cang as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, lead the staff of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and concurrently serve as the imperial edict."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"That's it for today's discussion. If anything comes up, we'll discuss it in the morning."

All the ministers said that they should only retreat.

"Wang Gang and Wang Meng, you two stay."

After Wang Ao left, the other two Wang brothers stopped talking and sat beside him the rest of the time.At present, the two Wang brothers have feelings for each other, and they don't know how the emperor will deal with them.

When everyone retreated, Fusu naturally cursed:
"The three of you came to see me together today, did you make an appointment before?"

The two of them bowed and lowered their heads, not daring to reply.

"Don't you have anything to do in the palace? When do I need knowledgeable people to come up with strategies for governing the country? Why don't I see the three of you coming so neatly? You guys, ever since I asked you to come to the court to discuss politics, you have been working all day long. I will only focus on some matters of fighting for power and gain. I rewarded the son of a wealthy family in Jiangdong for the great cause of the empire, but you have committed the following crimes, what is your purpose?"

Wang Meng stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly."

"Say!"

"Your Majesty is an orthodox royal family, with noble blood, and the princess is even more delicate. Your Majesty married the princess of my Great Qin Kingdom to this unknown person from Jiangdong. I am afraid that the bloodline will be messed up. I am Taizhu. I work under Taichang's command and is in charge of etiquette." All the officials are criticizing what your Majesty has done. Your Majesty, your actions are really confusing the boundaries between nobles and common people."

"Since the Xia Dynasty, there has been a distinction between nobles and common people. This old rule has been passed down for thousands of years. Once Your Majesty takes office, cutting off political parties is nothing. The people of Old Qin are still willing to support you. But Your Majesty, Are you willing to look down on the common people? Those who have spent all their efforts to get to the royal court are willing to look down on the common people."

"The nobles and the common people are two naturally different classes. Your Majesty is not helping to protect the nobles, but is busy raising the status of the common people. This move may cause turmoil instead."

After hearing this, the second generation wanted to go down and kick Wang Meng twice.

"How do you think his brother compares to the former Prime Minister Feng Quji?"

"Of course it's not as good as that."

"Then do you know why I rely more on Wang Wu than on the former Prime Minister Feng Quji?"

"Also ask Your Majesty to enlighten me!"

"You three brothers, how short-sighted you are! How narrow-minded! When I talk about making suggestions for the great cause of the empire, each one of you is like a lost dog. As soon as the marriage is mentioned, they rush to you. I am really ashamed of the former Prime Minister Wang Wan."

"I hope your Majesty will forgive me."

"Don't you know the theory of yin and yang and the five elements? It is the way of nature when yin rises and yang wanes, and all things flow. The fate of the empire also lies in it. My ancestors of the Qin State were originally just washing horses for the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. Later I became a prince, and now I am the lord of the world. As a big country, I should be more cautious. I know very well that the water can carry a boat and also capsize it. If I don't appease the people today, will I have to wait for the people tomorrow? Did a rogue planter jump out of it?"

"The difference between nobles and common people is just a trick designed by our ancestors to rule the people. If the people believe this kind of rhetoric, it will definitely be beneficial to the country. However, if you are a noble and regard this saying as a wise saying, That means I don’t know what to say. In order for the empire to maintain long-term peace and stability, I just want to let the people of the world see my determination to abolish this distinction, so that I can gain the support of the people. Governing a huge country is often more troublesome than capturing a city. "

Reasoning with the emperor can only lead to being convinced.

The second son spoke eloquently, and the two brothers nodded like rattles.

"Your Majesty appeases his anger, it's all short-sightedness of the ministers. No one has ever said this to the ministers before."

The reason why the nobility declined is because the descendants of the nobility have forgotten the history of their fortune, and all of them have drifted away. They are arrogant and extravagant, and do not treat the common people as human beings.

Fusu looked at these two people angrily.

"If you have nothing to worry about, think about it. How did you get your power and honor? If you are still like those old officials of the first emperor in the future, always telling me about the difference between nobles and Qianshou, don't blame me for not remembering old love."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I'll think about it carefully when I get back."

"Come back to see me after you have thought it through. What I told you today will also be conveyed to Wang Ao. I hope that in the future, there will be another descendant of the Wang family who will take the position of the three princes and nine ministers in the Qin Dynasty."

"Your Majesty's great kindness will be unforgettable for the three of us brothers. Today, Wang Ao made rude remarks that insulted His Majesty's majesty. Your Majesty can still forgive him magnanimously. I thank Your Majesty on his behalf."

"The queen is my first wife, and the Wang brothers are also my brothers."

After hearing this, both of them felt their hearts heat up.

"Since my father passed away and my eldest brother was exiled to Jiangdong, the empress and our brothers have been in distress. Now that your majesty has spoken such words, I am really grateful."

"The first prime minister is to the first emperor, just like an oar is to a boat, and Wang Wu is to me. The same is true. You brothers, there is no need to worry about this. I will recall Wang Wu."

"With your Majesty's words, everyone in the Wang family is relieved."

When the two brothers saw that the emperor was still looking very worried, they couldn't help but ask:
"I don't know why His Majesty is troubled by something, but the ministers want to share His Majesty's worries."

"A few days ago, I learned a piece of news from Zhang Han. Part of the army led by the traitor Ren Xiao fled back to Shu County. However, it has been several months since this incident. The governor of Shu County, Li Erlang reported the matter to me. I want you two to go and comfort the deserters who have returned and let them stay in Shu County. Things in central Guizhou should be handled carefully and do not let the old generals know about it."
