Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 426 The First Emperor personally taught Sun Yat-sen on politics

Regarding inheritance, this aspect is actually not the expertise of legalists.

Because what Legalism emphasizes is that everything should serve the king's personal will, whoever the king says will naturally be who he is.

But... Li Si studied under Xunzi before. Although he was a Legalist, he naturally also learned some Confucian classics.

"In this regard, Gongyang Gao seems to have something to say?" Li Si frowned.

I have to look through the book later to see if I can quote it.

If what Gongyang Zhuan says is similar to what I think, then it is naturally excellent. If Gongyang Zhuan says something different from what I think, then I am a Legalist and have prepared in advance, so I can regard it as Use evil words to attack them.

It can be regarded as a precautionary measure and preparation.

On the other side, inside the palace.

Zhao Si also began a new experience of assisting the government.

The First Emperor was in the chief position, and Zhao Si was at his side. The grandfather and grandson were about to face piles of memorials from all over the world, as well as from the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers.

Everything in the world is settled on a piece of white paper.

"read……"

The First Emperor pointed to the memorial on the desk, and Zhao Si picked it up and read the memorial word for word.

"Xun Lin, the governor of Handan County, came to report. Recently, there have been rebellions in Handan. There are rebellions in all parts of the Zhao Kingdom. It has become a mess. The chaos started in the countryside and caused chaos among Yingchuan County in Handan County. "Every time Handan County sends troops, they hide in Yingchuan County. Every time Yingchuan County sends troops, they hide in Handan County. In this case, we dare not make decisions without authorization, so we ask your Majesty to make a decision." Zhao Si He opened his mouth and briefly read the memorial to streamline its contents.

Nowadays, as writing becomes more and more convenient, officials report more and more nonsense. For example, this memorial from Handan County is just that, but it contains a lot of convoluted complaints and pleas. The whole article is probably about 2,000 words long.

Because of this situation, Zhao Si had worked as a content screener for the First Emperor for a period of time. Now that he is back to his old job, he is quite familiar with it.

The First Emperor nodded, but he did not review it immediately. Instead, he looked at Zhao Si and asked, "In your opinion, how should this situation be handled?"

Zhao Si was stunned for a moment, not expecting the First Emperor to ask questions at this time.

According to the laws of the Qin State, military movements of more than fifty people must be personally approved by the First Emperor.

Of course, self-protection does not count. The county still has the autonomy to eliminate local rebel parties.

The problem reported by Handan County is actually a classic problem.

That is, officials cannot enforce laws across districts.

The rebellious party took full advantage of this and made repeated attacks in Handan County and Yingchuan County, so much so that the county guards in both places used rat weapons. Therefore, they were unable to eliminate the rebellious party. If it took too long, there was a possibility that the rebellious party would become bigger.

To put it bluntly, there are too many rules and regulations, and some restrictions are used by people below. In this case, policy intervention from the top decision-maker is needed.

At the very least, you have to endorse their cross-border law enforcement, otherwise most officials would rather do nothing than make mistakes.

This situation was common, and it was even more common in the last years of the dynasty.

The so-called grand plan of the family and the country cannot compare with one's own promotion and wealth. Therefore, friendly forces are in trouble. Things that seem incomprehensible to modern people are actually the norm in that era.

"Relax restrictions appropriately? Give full play to their subjective initiative?" Zhao Si asked tentatively?

"Subjective initiative?" The First Emperor glanced at Zhao Si with some doubts.

"It is to give them greater autonomy so that they can act according to their own decisions." Zhao Si explained.

The First Emperor laughed out loud.

"This, Your Majesty...why is the eldest father laughing?" Zhao Si asked.

"Come here with the map..." The First Emperor waved his hand.

Zhao Si heard the sound and took the map of Da Qin and put it on the table.

The First Emperor pointed to Handan County and Yingchuan County and said, "There is no dangerous and remote place between Handan County and Yingchuan County. What does this mean?"

"It means... once the county soldiers arrive, it is almost impossible for the thieves to move between the two places based on the geographical advantages, let alone hide from the local county soldiers based on the geographical advantages?" Although Zhao Si has not read military books seriously, he still understands this basic principle. , he just didn’t know the specific topography of the junction between Handan and Yingchuan.

"What do you mean by the eldest father, the governor of Handan County is raising the bandits to respect themselves?" Zhao Si's heart suddenly lurched.

"That's not necessarily the case. If nothing else happens, since the Sheriff of Handan County has already submitted a letter, the Sheriff of Yingchuan County will naturally submit a letter as well. After all, the thieves are circulating in Handan and Yingchuan and cannot be eliminated. Naturally, the Sheriff of Yingchuan County also has Responsibility." The First Emperor said with a smile.

"That……"

"Do you know who the Sheriff of Handan County and the Sheriff of Yingchuan County are?" the First Emperor asked.

When the First Emperor asked this, of course Zhao Si didn't know.

He has always stayed by the side of the First Emperor. He can still name the officials in Xianyang. The local officials... are not recorded in the history books. Zhao Si does not know most of them. Even if he knows the names, he does not know them. Who is it specifically? Even if he stood in front of Zhao Si, Zhao Si might not be able to recognize him.

"Xunlin, the governor of Handan County, came from Anyi and later moved to Handan. After I destroyed Zhao, Xunlin took the official as his teacher. For eight years, he was promoted to Lang Guan, and then served in Xianyang. He was sent to Handan to serve as the commander-in-chief. Sheriff, supervising Handan.

The name of the governor of Yingchuan County is Meng Hui. He comes from the Meng family in Guanzhong and is a descendant of the old clan. He was awarded a title for his military merits and was promoted to Langguan. He watched the government for ten years and was sent to Yingchuan as the county governor. He and Xun Lin was a Lang Guan at the same time, and they often had conflicts when he was a Lang Guan. Later, I sent him to Yingchuan and Handan to serve as county governors. What do you think I meant by this move? "The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si and asked.

"Handan and Yingchuan are adjacent to each other, and there is a gap between Meng Hui and Xun Lin. Does your Majesty intend to use them to check and balance each other?" Zhao Si asked tentatively.

"Go and find Meng Hui's memorial," the First Emperor said.

Zhao Si heard the sound and rummaged through the memorials and took out the memorial from Yingchuan County.

"Look..." The First Emperor nodded.

Zhao Si heard the sound and looked over...

"Meng Hui was strong-willed and impulsive. He got into a lot of trouble when he was a Langguan. Therefore, I don't need to read his memorial to know. I'm afraid most of it was to impeach Xun Lin and support the invaders to respect themselves instead of doing anything. Yes and no." ?" Zhao Si looked at it, and the First Emperor spoke.

"My eldest father really knows how to see fire!" Zhao Si nodded when he heard this.

"Looking at it now, what do you think should be done?" asked the First Emperor.

"I issued an order to urge Meng Hui and Xun Lin. I thought they were beaten, but there was no need to delegate power. If the thieves are not eliminated, they would be replaced and transferred, and Meng Hui and Xun Lin would be recalled to Xianyang for accountability." Zhao Si spoke firmly.

"Why do you do this?" The First Emperor nodded and asked.

“There is no dangerous and remote place between Yingchuan and Handan. Therefore, the survival of the rebellious party is not a problem of the right time and place, but the problem of people and people.

If these two places want to eradicate chaotic parties, there is no need or reason to decentralize power.

As for whether it was because of the self-respect of the bandits or because of the personal conflicts between the two county guards, now that it has been put in front of His Majesty, there is absolutely no reason for His Majesty to act as a peacemaker in the dispute between these two people.

At a time when chaos is everywhere, facing this situation, there should never be any hesitation, let alone betting on who is right and who is wrong. "Zhao Si pondered for a moment and said.

"It's taboo to change the commander before the battle..." the First Emperor said with a smile.

"It's a big taboo, but they don't dare to bet on whether His Majesty will hold them accountable. His Majesty only needs to make this attitude.

Since Meng Hui comes from the old clan, his roots are still in Guan. As for Xun Lin, since he became an official as a teacher, he must have a relatively ordinary background. In this case, who of the two can take responsibility for such a major event? "Zhao Si said.

Hearing this, the First Emperor nodded and said with a smile: "You are wrong about one thing. Xun comes from Ji's surname and has a long bloodline. After the three families were divided into the Jin Dynasty, although the Xun surname declined, the bloodline is still there. As for Xunlin, although it has become so thin Only by taking officials as teachers can one enter school and become an official, but the threshold is very high...

When he regarded an official as his teacher and his official status was unknown, it was the threshold.

But he is the governor of Handan County, and when he is in charge of a county, he is in trouble..." the First Emperor said quietly.

"Your Majesty, is it possible that Xun Lin colluded with the local nobles to support the bandits in order to change things later?" Zhao Si asked in shock.

"This kind of thing should naturally be considered, but there is no obstacle to this matter. Since there is no obstacle, there is no need to delve into it." The First Emperor nodded.

Zhao Si understood. The First Emperor was telling himself that he should make current guesses based on the worst guesses.

But the First Emperor said that there was no obstacle, so why was there no obstacle?

Zhao Si thought about it carefully and realized that collusion is nothing more than supporting the bandits to respect themselves.

After the First Emperor issued the ultimatum, there were only two ways to go before Xun Lin.

Either jump back, or calm down and suppress the thieves.

Will Xun Lin rebel? Most likely not.

After all, the Zhao Kingdom’s biggest brand son Xie, his cheap uncle, has been captured, and the first place the army will clear out is the land of Yanzhao...

Of course, this is just a conjecture, and Xun Lin may not be colluding with local nobles.

The First Emperor was just teaching himself how to make judgments, decisions and issue orders in the face of this situation.

Wait...Why did Shi Huangdi teach himself these things?

Zhao Si was shocked...

"So when looking at the political affairs of a country, what the king knows is nothing more than a piece of white paper with a few black characters. If the feelings of a place are all put into it, it will naturally not be safe and sound. Therefore, if you only make judgments and decisions based on a memorial, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient It's nine out of ten.

If a king cannot know the boundaries of his own country, does not even know the topography of his counties, and does not know what kind of people his ministers are and what kind of character they have, how can he make a correct judgment? "The First Emperor spoke, seeming to be sighing, but also seeming to be teaching.

But when it fell in Zhao Si's ears, it was like thunder.

This is the true art of the emperor...

Wait...is this too much?

The First Emperor has really exposed himself!

Zhao Si looked back a little and was surprised to find that the First Emperor simply explained this memorial clearly and put it in front of him to teach him.

The landforms of Yingchuan in Handan, and even the names, origins, relationships and personalities of the two county governors...

Zhao Si had not assisted the First Emperor in his work before.

It's just that at that time, Zhao Si was responsible for handling some trivial matters.

Or read it to the First Emperor, so that the First Emperor can understand the content faster and make a quick judgment.

As for why the First Emperor made the judgment, the deep meaning behind the judgment, and the starting point of the judgment, this was completely unknown to Zhao Si and was something that the First Emperor would never tell Zhao Si.

And now...

Does the First Emperor seem to be really trying to put himself in the same perspective as him?

I'm afraid this is the real thing, something that only the royal family can learn, right?

Let me just say that there is a limit to the closeness between monarch and ministers.

"Why are you standing there in a daze? Keep reading." The First Emperor waved his hand.

Zhao Si scratched his head when he heard the sound and watched the First Emperor's reviewing movements. He quickly picked up the jade seal and stamped it, and then picked up the new memorial and read it word by word.

When Zhao Simian read, the First Emperor listened and thought with squinted eyes.

After Zhao Si finished reading, the First Emperor wrote and reviewed it, and Zhao Si stamped it with his seal.

During this period, Zhao Si was also responsible for tedious and detailed matters such as ink grinding.

The First Emperor would occasionally ask Zhao Si for his opinion on how to deal with the situation. If there was something wrong with what Zhao Si said, the First Emperor would correct it. If there was something Zhao Si didn't understand, the First Emperor would also give Zhao Si an explanation and analysis.

Occasionally, Zhao Si would even be asked to try to grade by himself.

If Zhao Si was right, the First Emperor would simply read it back without changing it word for word.

For Zhao Si, his sense of participation has been greatly improved and he has also gained a new administrative experience.

If there were subtitles, the subtitles "Experience +1+1+1" should be flying over Zhao Si's head at this time.

And on the other side...

Li Si and Wang Jian have returned to the place where government affairs were handled.

"Where's Doctor Feng?"

Li Si entered, but did not see Feng Quji, so he asked slightly strangely.

"The imperial censor has not returned..." the waiter in the room said with surprise on his face.

Feng Quji never came back at all.

Li Si was surprised by this. Feng Quji quickened his pace in front of him, and he was able to talk to Wang Jian about Zhao Si in private. Feng Quji was never seen again.

Li Si thought that Feng Quji had already arrived...

"I've just received the good news. I'm afraid the imperial censor is busy going back to report the good news..." Old God Wang Jian sat down and said leisurely.

Li Si's head turned around when he heard this, and he sat down with a bit of teasing on his face.

"That's right. Anyway, he doesn't have anything to deal with. When he learned about such a major event, he was probably busy informing the opposition right minister."

How long have you been delaying to help Su Li Chu...

It was the last time it was said that Fusu would succeed as the crown prince.

There is such a fuss every year.

This time, Fu Su returned to Xianyang with the greatest momentum. After all, Fu Su came back with his military exploits in Longxi, but the position of the crown prince was still not determined.

Now...

Is there any forty-year-old son in the world? I'm afraid Fusu's supporters have been impatient for a long time.

If the throne is not established, the right prime minister in the opposition may not be able to withstand it.
