Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 451: Too Many Prime Ministers

"Hey, kid, come back to Xianyang soon. Why are you so depressed now?"

Xiang Yu drove his horse beside Tianming and said with a smile: "Didn't you say you have memories of this place when you were in Guancheng?"

"That's a false memory given to me by the sleeping spell. I was carried out of the palace right after I was born."

Tianming lowered his head. Several months of battlefield life had made him accustomed to the feeling of riding a horse: "That Lord Dongjun from the Yin Yang family told me a lot of things."

When facing the Great Wall Legion of the Qin Army, although Xiang Yu contributed more and was more famous, Tianming also got a lot of credit.

His Highness the King of Qi will summon a group of soldiers from the Northern Legion of the Qi Army to participate in the emperor's enthronement ceremony at the beginning of the new year. Both of them will be the first batch of personnel to enter the court.

According to Xiang Yu's understanding, Tianming had always wanted to leave the Qi army after the death of Qin to explore the world, but he did not refuse when faced with this order from the King of Qi. The reason could only be because of one person: Gai Nie.

After all, this was the reason why Tianming chose to leave Little Sage Village and join the army with him.

"Really?" Xiang Yu moved his gaze away from his companion's face and looked at the clouds in the sky in front of him. He no longer pretended to be relaxed: "Actually, I know you are hiding a lot of things, but I will believe that all your choices are made by yourself. heart!"

"Shao Yu." Xiang Yu has returned to his own surname and has grown up, but the title 'Shao Yu' is still Tianming's only choice when he is alone with him.

He turned to look at his long-time friend and understood that although he was usually proud, he would show amazing patience and help when facing people close to him, especially when Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng were gone.

If the two of them were still in Guan City or even Little Saint's Village, he would definitely make a face and laugh at Shao Yu like this. However, now, they are not children anymore, and they can no longer hurt him with so-called jokes as they please. The kindness of friends.

So Tianming nodded heavily: "Thank you, don't worry, I have been separated from uncle for so long, I just want to ask him one question."

"Is it related to the surname?" Xiang Yu was slightly worried in his heart, but he didn't ask.

Jing Tianming's Jing was Jing Ke's Jing. This matter was known to him and Gao Yue after Tianming's sleeping curse seal was broken by Yin Yang Family Dongjun.

How Jing Ke died is not a secret among the knights in the world. It will be easy to find out tomorrow.
Judging from the fact that this kid still calls Mr. Guy uncle, he shouldn't be too crazy after getting the answer to the question from Mr. Guy himself. '

Xiang Yu comforted himself, just like what he just said: he chose to trust his companions and did not bother Tianming more on this issue.
Two young people in their prime are approaching Xianyang step by step with their goals in mind.

"Since the time of Jiang Taigong, the core area of ​​Qi State has been the land of Qilu. Now that the king wants to choose Guanzhong as the capital, the ministers in Linzi have been talking about it."

"But they still came here, didn't they~"

Lu Wei smiled and invited Fu Nian, who had come all the way here, to play chess. The head of the Little Sage Village did not dare to refuse. After bowing respectfully, he asked His Highness King Qi to take the black piece first.

Lu's chess skills have never been superb, but they have improved a lot over the years and are above average.

Fu Nian is a master of chess. He usually plays against the second junior disciple Yan Lu and the third junior disciple Fang at the same time in Little Sage Manor. He is one of the top chess players in the world.With just a few simple moves, he was able to discern the true level of His Highness King Qi, and made the decision to maintain the unbeaten situation naturally. Therefore, the moves made by the two of them were quite thrilling.

During the Qi Army's Western Expedition, Fu Nian assisted Prime Minister Lu Qing in Linzi to take charge of the jurisdiction of the conquered areas. For the first time, he held a high position of authority, and he did a fairly good job.

After all, Confucianism is a science of governing the country.

It's just that Fu Nian has a habit of being as strict in managing his subordinates as he is in managing his students, so the reviews from the Linzi Intelligence Agency are mixed.

However, Lu Wei knew that Fu Nian was a loyal gentleman, and those "severe" shortcomings were not shortcomings for the monarch. It was because of his reputation and hard work that the Linzi court did not make any big mistakes on its way to Guanzhong.

And because of his existence, some people did not dare to point the finger at Lu Weishi, so they secretly cursed Fu Nian and Confucianism to vent their anger.

It can be said that Fu Nian restrained many officials' grievances for the King of Qi himself.

"Traditionally speaking, Linzi should be the capital. But considering the stability of the empire, Qin's only choice is to work hard to govern Guanzhong for many generations." Fu Nian never cares about the insults others give him. If he hears those insults face to face, he will definitely Punishment will be imposed without hearing or asking specifically about anyone who is dissatisfied with him.

Specializing in the swordsmanship of the Holy King, Fu Nian's Inner Sage and Outer King pay attention to the internal cultivation of character and the external practice of kingly ways. The latter was a policy that he could only implement after the peasant uprising, while the former has been cultivated to his core for decades.

"Xiaoshengxianzhuang has always respected tradition, but it is not just tradition. The development of Confucian thought in the past three hundred years is the fastest among all schools of thought, so it will naturally obey the king's orders."

"With our cooperation with Prime Minister Lu, those ministers who have resentments will not dare to disobey."

Seeing Fu Nian's respectful answer, Lu Wei paused leisurely and motioned to the young eunuch serving beside him to pour wine for him. The head of the Little Shengxian Manor did not dare to ask for help, so he raised the wine to express gratitude in an orderly manner. .

Such a wise minister is truly a talent for the Prime Minister, but he may not have the chance to become the Prime Minister.

Among Lu Wei's ministers, Lu Qing, Fu Nian, and Xiao He were all pillars of the court and could be prime ministers. However, relatively speaking, Lu Qing was the most suitable to be the first prime minister of the empire. He had followed Lu Wei for more than 20 years. He has managed Gonggongtang for nearly 20 years. He is the first prime minister of the new Qi State and should also be the first prime minister of the Qi Dynasty. With such qualifications, no one would have any objection to his status.

Xiao He is suitable as the second person. His ability is absolutely no problem, but there is still Lu Qing. However, Lu Qing is a bit old, and his internal energy level is relatively shallow. He will face the problem of low energy within a few years. At that time, Xiao He, who has been the deputy for several years, can take over the position calmly.

Fu Nian is of the same generation as Xiao He. Normally, he is unlikely to take over Xiao He's position.

It is a pity, but it is also a happy worry. In the next generation, there will be young talents such as Lu Shan, Lu Yu and even Han Xin competing for the throne. Within three generations, Lu Wei does not worry that there will be no one available for the empire.

"The ceremony for the enthronement was designed by Confucian scholars such as Kong Yu and Shu Sun Tong. Although it is quite hard to come from Linzi to Xianyang, you still have to keep an eye on this aspect."

In this era of talent spurts, everyone has to fight for their position by themselves. Even as a king, Lu Wei does not have to worry about them, so the emotion in his heart is just swept away, and he immediately calls Fu Nian to do things.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, there will never be any problems with the ceremony!"
