Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 20 Wise Men! (for collection)

three days later.

Hu Hai went through all these bamboo slips.

It didn't leave a deep impression, but for Hu Hai, he was quite satisfied.

He was indeed present at the court dispute that year, but he was very young, only in his early ten years old, so his memory is very vague. If Ji Heng hadn't brought it up again, he would not even remember that debate. , He gradually recalled some past events.

This court dispute was initiated by those doctors.

Who it was, he couldn't remember.

But the scale of the China-related creation controversy was unprecedented.

Except for a few generals who had to appease the border areas, almost all the foreign ministers, the sheriffs and magistrates of the big counties who had established stable official offices, were summoned to Xianyang, and all twelve of their princes also joined the court. In addition, all officials in Xianyang's government offices, except those under the rank of officials, all officials will participate in the meeting.

The usually spacious main hall was full of seats for the first time.

For the first time, it also seemed a little narrow.

Hu Hai sat on the table with a confused expression, as if he had traveled through time and space and returned to the debate.

It was midsummer, and the morning was very cool. The first emperor wore a crown and belt, which was incomparably solemn, declaring calmly and majesticly.

"The world is unified, and I am opening a new dynasty."

"Running the feudal lords, or governing counties and counties is a matter of great importance."

"A few days ago, the first discussion trio has been issued, and the public discussions of various departments have generally become clearer."

"In conclusion, I advocate two points."

"Today's court, the final decision, I will personally make the decision."

"The government of the court does not avoid disagreements, but it doesn't matter what you say."

"."

In Hu Hai's memory, the debate was clearly one-sided.

At that time, after the old prime minister Wang Wan spoke in favor of enfeoffment, nearly ninety-nine percent of the officials present at the meeting chose to support enfeoffment, and the few who opposed it were Li Si from the Tingwei Mansion and a few officials under the Tingwei Mansion.

This so-called controversy.

In fact, it was the dispute between Wang Wan and Li Si.

Other people's opinions are just supporting various opinions.

and.

Neither side can convince the other.

Hu Hai looked at the bamboo slips on the case and shook his head secretly.

He has long forgotten the specific details at that time, and the only thing he can remember are two.

One is what Wang Wan said, 'If you don't want to be a king, don't fill it in! '

One is what Li Si said, "There are many children with the same surname, and then they are alienated, and they attack each other like chou." '

He couldn't remember which side he was in favor of at the time.

Later, Shihuang asked the princes to speak, and he did speak, but those words did not come from himself, but were taught by Zhao Gao privately the day before. In favor of counties.

Think of this.

There was a look of suspicion in Hu Hai's eyes.

He had already read all the bamboo slips he sent, but he didn't find that the young masters played it right. He couldn't help but wondered: "Did I remember it wrong? I didn't speak at the time? It shouldn't be, although I can't remember what I said specifically. , but he should have opened his mouth at that time, otherwise Zhao Gao would not have mentioned it often."

"what's going on?"

Hu Hai looked at the bamboo slips on the case suspiciously, but in the end he didn't think about it too much, thinking that the eldest brother had forgotten it.

He stood up slowly and shouted outside:
"Come on."

"Go and inform the eldest son, and send a few people to collect the books."

"Also ask brother to prepare more wine."

Done.

Hu Hai went straight to the small courtyard in the prison, where everyday criminals worked.

As the execution date is approaching, the law also shows a bit of leniency, and no longer requires criminals to work, but keeps them in prison, waiting for the final execution. Of course, the main concern is that the criminals will break the pot and do some crazy things before they die. Act of.

The courtyard is very empty.

Hu Hai was walking around bored.

But in his heart, he was thinking about how to please Shihuang.

He still wants to save Zhao Gao!

Not only is Zhao Gao his external teacher, but more importantly, Zhao Gao is sincere.

I have always been really good for myself.

It was because of Zhao Gao's secret advice that he could always please the first emperor.

And after so many years, Zhao Gao has fulfilled everything he asked for.

This made Hu Hai very satisfied.

"It's up to me to intercede, I'm afraid my father won't agree."

"Elder brother won't help me either."

"The only thing I can rely on now is Ji Heng."

"This person has great talent."

"If he can think of a few ideas for me, to help Daqin out of trouble, maybe the emperor can change his mind."

"At that time, not only will I be released from prison, but I will also be able to save Zhao Gao."

"It's just that this person is crazy and has a very stubborn personality, so he probably won't help me." Hu Hai was also very troubled by Ji Heng's reluctance.

the other side.

Fusu slowly closed the bamboo slips.

He has received a message from Hu Hai in prison.

He gave instructions to Wei Sheng who was waiting outside the hall, shook his head secretly and said: "With Hu Hai's stubbornness, it's probably just a quick scan, but it should be enough. Back then, the court system's debates were not known to the outside world. What Ji Heng knows is also limited, most of it is hearsay."

"However, as he said at the beginning, where there is a changer, it contains the way of change."

"Maybe I really have my own unique insights."

"In the past three days, I have read the more than 70 scrolls of bamboo slips in detail, from the three lords and nine ministers to the local county magistrates. cognition."

"The enfeoffment of prefectures and counties is a dispute over Daoism."

"Daqin finally chose counties and counties, but the implementation process was too hasty, which aroused public anger and resentment."

"If the emperor's implementation is slower, maybe it won't be where it is today."

"Ugh."

Fusu sighed lightly.

In fact, he realized very early on that Daqin used the people too much.

There were many persuasions, but none of them were successful, and they were even scolded by the first emperor.

And what to do?
Fusu got up slowly, looked out of the hall with a worried expression, and said in a concentrated voice: "Great Qin is now troubled, hundreds of families and courts are at odds, the nobles of the six countries are rampant day by day, the head of Guizhou in the Kanto has complained for a long time, a little careless, It could turn the world upside down."

"What should Fusu do now?"

he does not know.

He only felt that Daqin was in danger.

Fusu withdrew his gaze and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.

He looked at the bamboo slips on the table again, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "This time, I have a lot of understanding of the division of counties and counties, and I must be able to detect whether Ji Heng really has real talents and learning."

"If he relies on the outside world's hearsay and his own subjective guesses, he can tell the difference between counties and counties."

"Even at the risk of being scolded, I will definitely protect you once!"

"Ji Heng, whether you can survive depends on whether you are really capable." Fusu whispered, looking at the bamboo slips again.

In fact, he thought Ji Heng was a great talent very early on.

It's just that after listening to it twice, and after reading "Han Feizi" and "Book of Shang Jun", some of his cognitions have changed.

Now he is more mature and calmer.

Ji Hengzhi's talent, from the current point of view, is only a personal conjecture, if you want to really prove it, in addition to being able to predict things in advance, you must also make accurate predictions and judgments about the things in front of you.

That's all.

To be called a wise man!
ps: I feel a little unwell today, so the writing is relatively watery, sorry.
