Qiang Qin

(Thank you for the reward of the book friends who protect you)

Li Yuan is persuasive and persuasive. In terms of vision and knowledge, he is like an older brother, teaching Li Zheng the experience of ups and downs in life.

With the current power of the Li family, it doesn't really matter whether Li Zheng is the prime minister or not.The most important thing is that as long as Li Yuan is the King Wu of Qin, the glory of the Li family will not decline.Conversely, if one day Li Yuan fell, even if Li Zheng became the prime minister of Qin, it would be a castle in the air, unable to withstand the slightest disturbance.

It's not that Li Zheng doesn't understand the principle that "one prosperity is one prosperity and one loss is one loss". He was just stunned by Xiangguo's position for a while. It is not the case if you want to fight to the death.In all honesty, Li Zheng did not possess many of Chen Ping's abilities in dealing with things.

Thinking of this, Li Zheng couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

He who was once bewildered by beauty and power, repented while talking.From this point of view, Li Zheng not only has the same appearance and knowledge as Li Si, but also has similarities with Li Si in temperament.

"The important minister of the country is not based on appearance, but on the heart. That is, to take the interests of the country as the foundation and act with the heart. This point, the second brother must remember. If not, the position of Xiangguo will never be with you. "Li Yuan said lightly.

Putting aside his personal integrity, Li Zheng's ability to do things has been trained enough to be qualified for important official positions such as Qin Yushi Cheng, Dajun Sheriff, Doctor, etc. Now, what he needs is to settle down.

Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to survive a hundred battles.

Li Zheng's confession allowed Li Yuan to quickly grasp the details of Chen Di and others' plot, and the role of each person involved in this incident gradually became clear.

Ji An, the initiator of the corruption impeachment, is actually just a small role being used.Ji An himself has an upright personality, can't tolerate any sand in his eyes, and has a very bad relationship with Chen Yuan. His nature fell into the eyes of those who cared, and he became the vanguard to attack Chen Ping.

Guan Yue, the person in charge of the Capital Agricultural Supervision.

He was also an old acquaintance of Li Yuan when he was in Xingyang, but this time, the role he played was not glorious, because his identity was not just as simple as assisting Li Zheng, but behind a series of clan forces planning.Guan Yue gradually became the new think tank of the clan forces.

Guan Yue's family.

This is a small family in Guanzhong, without much foundation. It stands to reason that he has no intersection with the clan, but things are often so unbelievable. It began to be revealed, from small to large, from superficial to deep.Those long-term influential clans were also accumulated step by step in the beginning, and the Guan family and the declining Chen family reached a certain tacit agreement, and the two sides decided to support each other in many aspects.In order to shorten the time for each other to rise.

This alliance of mutual use is the eternal theme of the annexation and dissolution of the various forces in Guanzhong, from the pre-Qin to the Tang and Song Dynasties, and it has been going on for a long time.In the end, the pattern of the Guanzhong clan with seven surnames in the Tang Dynasty, and the Zhong and Yang surnames in the Song Dynasty were formed in the northwest, but now, Guan Yue is so adventurous.It is to contribute to the growth of the family.

At the same time, the change in Guan Yue's mentality was also due to another reason, which was Zhao Ben's death.

In the city of Xingyang, Zhao Ben, Guan Yue and Chen Di once had a thrilling past. At that time, Li Yuan was just a small military lord who broke out from Daliang, while Guan Yue was already the hero of Xingyang, an important town in Sanchuan County. , Zhao Ben is even more expensive as the county guard, and Chen Di is a senior official sent by the court to inspect.

Fortunately for Guan Yue, he seems to have chosen a good direction.

At the beginning of Li Yuan, he wavered, but then, under the persuasion of Ying Yushu, Gongsun Ying and others, he chose to continue to follow Li Yuan's subordinates.

After entering Guanzhong, Guan Yue showed his shrewd and capable side in the administration of Yongqi, especially in the farming of Zheng Guoguo Canal. The strict requirements made Guan Yue feel uncomfortable.

People can change.

Humans are also fickle animals.

With his smooth and flexible handling methods, Guan Yue stands in this era and is on the right track in Qin State. He hopes that more young and enterprising fresh blood will join him, and that the officials in office can continue to learn and keep pace with the times. When he entered, Guan Yue's thoughts couldn't keep up.

He didn't want to give up his current power, and he didn't want to keep up with the fast-paced pace. If Chen Ping and Li Zheng were to choose one as the prime minister, it would be better for Li Zheng to fool him.

——.

Beginning of the new year.

The government of the Qin State, which was calm on the surface but turbulent in the dark, changed suddenly and repeatedly. First, the Prime Minister Chen Ping asked himself to punish himself for three years for taking bribes and embezzling ink.Some county guards, mid-level and lower-level officials in the Chen family who directly engaged in corruption and bribery, such as Chen Yuan, were dismissed from their official posts and sent back to their hometowns.

Then, at the court meeting, Yushi Cheng Li Zheng made a special statement on the matter of Ji An's confession to Chen not long ago, and discussed some laws and regulations that officials discussed and evaluated, focusing on speeches involving slander, malicious attacks, etc. The scope is specified, and the speech officer is prohibited from doing evil things in the name of direct remonstrance.

After the two incidents, the government of the Qin State was revived, and then a group of officials who fell behind in the performance appraisal, such as Guan Yue of the Dunong Supervisor, were dismissed from their corresponding positions and replaced by younger and more capable officials. Guan Yue had a lot of ideas about this at first, but after looking for Wu Wang Li Yuan once, he was completely silent.

In addition to these changes, on a certain night, a group of forbidden troops entered Li Zheng's imperial censor's mansion to arrest Chen Di and other clan remnants. Yuan unceremoniously ordered that the matter be executed directly.

Chen Di's body was thrown into the barren hills deep in Mount Li. What awaited him was the wild beasts in the forest.The rest of the Chen family, etc., were exiled to the border area, and now they can only bear the bitter fruit they planted, and in the border county where the clan power has no living soil, their descendants can only use To support themselves with their hands, maybe after a few generations, they will integrate into the people in the frontier and truly become a self-supporting part.

In the handling of these court changes, Li Yuan did not officially come forward from the beginning to the end. He was just secretly paying attention to the changes in the general direction, paying attention to which ones are beneficial to Qin and which ones are unfavorable. When the spring of 199 BC came , Li Yuan suddenly found out that he had passed the age of 30. (to be continued..)
