Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 44
Legalists.

A school of thought that has shone countless lights in history. This school takes the mission of enriching the country and strengthening the army, and they believe that in order to enrich the country and strengthen the army, laws must be enacted, and everyone should be locked in the cage of the law. Regardless of high or low, one is determined by the law.

It can be said that legalism has played a very important role in history, which can be seen from the fact that all countries have formulated laws and used them so far.

But about 200 years ago, a predecessor of the Legalists got rid of it. The legal system he developed in a big country at that time was not only harsh to the people, but also to the rulers. It was too late, and the strict laws caused the collapse of the most powerful country in the world at that time, and each of the three countries born on the basis of this great country was no weaker than Qin today.

This incident caused the Legalists to become street rats on the mainland. Everyone shouted and beat them, and the rulers were even more worried that the Legalists would play off their own country.

So for 200 years, the Legalists have not been in power in any country. Of course, not being in power does not mean that they will not be in office. Officials in various countries, especially the yamen used by the Ministry of Punishment, are full of many legalist apprentices.

However, these legalist apprentices never claimed that they were legalists. They were afraid of arousing hatred. Although others knew, legalism was useful, so they turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.

Changsun Wuji's move today can be said to be blatantly telling the world that he is an apprentice of the Legalists, and that he wants to make his own voice in Qin and on the mainland.

Wang Mang didn't have any bad thoughts about Legalism. After all, the world in his previous life was a world where the rule of law ruled the country. Although the law is often useless, it is always a relatively fair way.

Wang Mang had no intention of yelling at Changsun Wuji, but if the Legalists sent someone to run in front of him and yell, if he pretended not to see it, then he would lose face, so Wang Mang looked cold Looking at Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji didn't expect Wang Mang to see his origin just by his words, and immediately kowtowed: "My minister Qi Zuo Your Majesty, the eldest grandson's family has been favored by the emperor, and his loyalty to the emperor and his patriotism can be seen in the sun and the moon. Today, it is about to There is great chaos, and my ministers of the Qin State are still so unwilling to make progress, once the world is in chaos in the future, how will our Qin State maintain the foundation of eternity."

Seeing Wang Mang thinking, Changsun Wuji kowtowed again and said: "Today, I would like to be your majesty's predecessor, to eliminate treacherous ministers for your majesty, to set the record straight with the law, to clarify right and wrong, and to bring peace to your majesty forever."

The world is in chaos?

If a different person stood here, I'm afraid he would have quarreled with Zhangsun Wuji at this moment, and even those with different political opinions might have to hit their heads directly.

However, Wang Mang has a different idea about this. He doesn't know much about the situation in the world, but he knows that he must have a different mission when he was reborn in this world.

Wang Mang didn't know what the mission was, but Wang Mang knew a little bit. With the advantages brought by the system, he would soon be able to quell the rebellion in the south, and then Qin would soon become prosperous and strong. This is called loneliness.

An emperor who doesn't want to rule the world, rule the world, and rule the world as a king is definitely not a good emperor. As his strength grows, Wang Mang will sooner or later embark on a road of external expansion.

So Changsun Wuji's statement not only didn't make Wang Mang feel angry, but on the contrary, Wang Mang felt that this guy had something in his stomach, and that he had the same smell as himself. No, he had the same ideal, one heart, and his own people.

Since ancient times, any subordinate who can be united with the leader will not be too bad as long as the leader does not fall.

But Wang Mang didn't have a happy and amiable face for a moment, but continued to say with a cold expression: "You are a bit alarmist, and this kind of national event, why are you a little Zhongshu Ling to get involved."

"The sage said that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. As a subject of His Majesty, the Zhongshu Order of Daqin should be considered for His Majesty and Daqin. I don't care about my personal life and death." Changsun Wuji said loudly: "Let's not talk about the general trend of the world today, just talk about the Great Qin. All the officials in the court are stupid, dying and ignorant of change. If things go on like this, what strength does our Great Qin have to rank among the big countries?"

"These are not things you, a Zhongshu Ling, should worry about." Wang Mang's tone softened.

"As the Secretary of the Central Committee, my official's duty is to assist His Majesty in handling government affairs. I didn't want to say these things at first. These are what the senior officials of the six departments and three departments should say, but today's Fang Xizhi's incident has greatly touched my official." Changsun Wuji sighed: "One Fang Xizhi will expose my Daqin's scars to the world, and Daqin's cancer like Fang Xizhi is far more than Fang Xizhi. In the future, once these cancers burst, I fear Daqin... ..."

cough!
Wang Mang coughed, Changsun Wuji's expression changed drastically, and he quickly bowed his head to the ground, not daring to say a word.

According to what Changsun Wuji said, Daqin is now terminally ill, and if he doesn't get treatment, the country will be destroyed in the end.

But you can’t keep saying these things. If you say it again, people will say that you are patriotic. If you keep saying that once it gets out, it’s not patriotism, but resentment. Complaining to the court, complaining to the emperor, that’s absolutely nothing. What a good end.

So Wang Mang resolutely stopped Changsun Wuji's words, but looked slightly calmer, looked at Changsun Wuji and said: "Zhongshuling, I will not talk about your other suggestions for the time being, I came to you today mainly to tell you It is very interesting to search for talents in Lu Ye, and I would like to know how you select talents for me."

Changsun Wuji also knew that he had finished what he was supposed to say today, at least the emperor had listened, otherwise he would have been captured by Jin Yiwei at this time.

At this time, Changsun Wuji also felt a little scared, his back was completely soaked, and people's courage was always discouraged directly after courage, and Changsun Wuji was the same.

At this time, when the emperor asked him how to select talented people, Changsun Wuji kowtowed and said: "I have done a good job in organizing the documents and sorting out the memorials, and I have done a good job for your Majesty's predecessors, but if you talk about selecting talented people, reforming the legal system, and enriching the country and strengthening the army This minister's ability is not enough, but this minister has a senior brother who is currently in Chang'an, if His Majesty can get help from this senior brother, half of the world will already be in His Majesty's hands."

With the help of one person, the whole world can be achieved?
With such a loud tone, Wang Mang looked at Changsun Wuji with some surprise. Although Changsun Wuji was still young, his ability to hold the position of Zhongshu Ling was evident. Outstanding.

And this kind of person has such great awe for another person at this moment, and even gives him such a big evaluation, which shows the great talent of his senior brother.

For capable people, Wang Mang has never minded to recruit with the greatest sincerity, immediately Wang Mang said happily: "I don't know who is your senior brother?"
