Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 255 The war in the world is over! (Please subscribe)
Three days later.

The banquet was held as scheduled.

It's just that the officials attending the meeting looked a little restrained.

In the past half a month, they had a lot of contact with Fusu, and they also admire Fusu very much, but admiration is one thing, and willingness to serve Qin firmly is another thing, and this banquet is in their hearts. , perhaps it was Fusu's invitation to them.

but.
None of them really made up their minds to serve Qin.

Once in the meeting, Fusu spoke in public, but it was a bit difficult for them. On the one hand, it was really difficult to refuse in person, but they had to refuse. Therefore, when they actually arrived in the lobby, everyone had a somewhat stiff expression on their faces. Also with a bit of sadness.

Although he was still enthusiastically chatting with other people around him, he seemed to be absent-minded.

soon.

Fusu arrived at the lobby.

Everyone stood up to greet him.

Fusu looked at everyone present with a smile on his face, and felt a sense of pride in his heart. After this period of contact, he actually clearly realized that these officials were actually hiding their clumsiness.

But even so, it is still hard to hide his talent.

If they are willing to serve Qin, why should Qin be unhappy?
Fusu sat down in the main seat, and said with a smile: "Thanks to your help, the transfer of non-commissioned officers under the administration of the affairs office has been successfully completed, and there is no objection in the army. This is all thanks to your hard work."

"Fusu is really grateful."

talking.

Fusu bowed to everyone.

Everyone stood up quickly, but they didn't dare to accept it.

Li Dan said: "Your Highness is serious. Fortunately, we have the opportunity to enter the Affairs Office because of His Highness's appreciation. As ministers of the Qin Dynasty, it is not our duty to handle political affairs. Your Highness is like this, it is really embarrassing for the ministers and others."

"I really dare not accept it."

Others also spoke one after another.

"Your Highness, this is really frustrating."

"Please rise, Your Highness."

"."

Fusu did not insist. After bowing, he straightened up again. He said calmly: "Although I have only been working with you for less than a month, I have learned a lot. Confucius once said, If three people walk together, there must be my teacher, as far as this matter is concerned, it cannot be more correct."

"However, the affairs of the Ministry of Affairs have come to an end."

"There is always a banquet in the world."

"The affairs office I formed this time was originally a temporary initiative, so it can only be regarded as a temporary establishment. When the South China Sea affairs are over, it will be time to disband."

Speaking of which.

Fusu sighed and said: "In the past few days, I have even been thinking about how great it would be if things in the South China Sea were a little turbulent, so that you can stay in the Affairs Office for a while longer, and I can also learn from you. More experience in dealing with political affairs."

heard.

Everyone looked at each other with delicate expressions.

Li Dan and others said solemnly: "Your Highness is interested, but everything comes first. Your Highness is already involved in political affairs, so how can you waste too much time on us? Although the Affairs Bureau will be disbanded, we are just moving to another place. Continuing to serve Qin, there are not many similarities and differences between the two."

Fusu nodded slightly.

He said, "It's true."

"Today's banquet should be a wedding banquet."

"Come on, have a drink."

Fusu didn't say much about this. He waved his sleeves and asked the servants around him to serve wine.

Serve with wine and meat.

The atmosphere in the entire lobby instantly became lively.

Everyone was having a great time drinking and drinking, and their words and deeds were full of laughter and compliments.

Fusu sat in the main seat and looked down calmly.

He felt that the excitement below belonged to them and had nothing to do with him, but he also knew the reason. His identity here meant that he was destined to be subject to various constraints and restrictions.

He didn't bother.

Just drinking wine quietly alone.

By the time they were full of wine and food, the hall was filled with the smell of alcohol. Many people's faces were red and they looked tipsy. A few people even showed signs of being drunk and intoxicated.

At this time.

Fusu stood up.

He looked at the people below and said with a smile: "Now that I have eaten and drank enough, I see that you are all in high spirits. I, Fusu, also have a few words to say."

A word fell.

The few people who were still a little drowsy immediately became excited and became energetic instantly. Although they still looked sleepy, their eyes were clearly bright and sharp.

Fusu gently held the wine bottle with his fingertips and said calmly: "You are actually all smart people. There is no need to say some things, and there is no need to say them. I, Fusu, do have the intention to let you serve Qin, but I will not force you to do so." , let alone force it, and I also know that the current Great Qin does have many shortcomings, even..."

"For scholars in the world, it is not very attractive."

"Everyone has selfish motives."

"They all have their own ideas."

"There's nothing wrong with that."

"The same goes for me, Fusu."

"The world is now devastated. Hundreds of years of war have just ended, and various projects have been started non-stop. The Qin Dynasty is building roads and water conservancy projects all over the world. The number of convicts and corvees imposed is shocking. As local officials, you are responsible for the local government. In fact, I know the situation very well. I have also been to the place in depth, and I barely have an understanding of the place."

"Although it is not as good as you, but it does understand."

talking.

Fusu's eyes moved to Shi Yue and Mao Chen.

They were all people Fusu met when he was "re-opening the road to the country", and they were all capable and talented people. It was from their mouths that he learned a lot about the situation at the grassroots level.

Shi Yue and others lowered their heads, feeling only uneasy in their hearts.

Fusu continued: "The world is tired and all the people are suffering. This is indeed caused by Da Qin himself. It is also Da Qin that caused the current grievances in the world. The people are in dire straits. All the people in the world hate Qin and hate Qin. I, Fusu, can understand it, even if I’m actually not surprised that you have deep prejudices against the imperial court and your own understanding of the world.”

"Because this is indeed the current situation in the world."

"Although I appreciate your abilities, I will not promote you."

"Most of you don't want to be promoted."

"but."

"I am here today to send you a message."

"The war in the world is over!"

"Although Nanhai will launch its third expedition in the near future, you have been in Lingling for a while, and you have some understanding of this so-called expedition. It is just a final cleanup, and it will not have much impact on the world situation. "

"So I'm not exaggerating when I say this."

"When the war in the South China Sea completely subsides, the war that has lasted for hundreds of years in the world will also come to an end."

heard.

Everyone's eyes are slightly different.

All the people present are smart people, so how can they not hear the voice?

The meaning of Fusu's words is very simple, that is, let them put away those unrealistic ideas. The world will not be in chaos again, let alone the past wars. If they are still delusional about the world in chaos, then it can only be Daydreaming.

But how can it be that Fusu has the final say?

How could Fusu not know everyone's thoughts? He continued: "Everyone has selfish motives. Who in the world will not think more about themselves? But I might as well tell you that when this expedition to the South China Sea is over, the imperial court will It will shift its focus and gradually turn its attention to world governance, recuperate and rest with the people."

"I just hope that when the world is really peaceful, you can make the right choice." "Also."

"Do you know why I am using Kanto officials so aggressively this time?"

The crowd looked over curiously.

In fact, everyone has always been curious about this. Not only Xiao He and others, but also Li Dan and others were also curious. They knew that the roster of the Affairs Office this time was controversial in the court, and Fusu also faced a lot of difficulties for this. pressure.

But the reason has never been known.

Fu Su calmly said: "Someone told me something in the past."

"There has always been a distinction between old and new people in the world."

"Qin people are divided into old and new Qin people, and the system is also divided into three generations of royal government and Qin government. There are great similarities and differences between them. However, the court is aware of the existence of these similarities and differences, but cannot tolerate them forever. They must be eliminated intentionally. In this way Only in this way can we realize the unification of the world. The current unification of Da Qin is only superficial and has not really been achieved."

"But sometimes even if you really want to do it, it's obviously not something you can do in a short time."

"Sometimes you need to tolerate a difficult thing and slowly break it down into feasible small things. For example, the difference between the old and new Qin people. The prejudices in people's hearts are like a big mountain. If you want to change the prejudices in the hearts of the world, you need to Do a lot of things, and you will even be questioned and criticized, but as the prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, I have to do it."

"So I chose to enable you."

"Even if I know nothing about you, and even know that you are against Qin, I still do this because some things are destined to have a beginning. As for the final result, it is not very important."

"Because people's ideas don't change in a short time."

"But what I want to tell you is that you can wait and see for a while. In the future, you will understand that Da Qin is different from the past Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and Da Qin's system is also different from the past. Da Qin will really regard all people in the world as The people of Great Qin."

“Treat everyone equally!!!”

"also."

"Some of you may have other thoughts."

"I actually don't mind."

"Because you really don't understand Daqin's system, and you are more willing to accept the habits of the past, but people always have to look forward. If you don't keep pace with the times, you are destined to be abandoned by the times, just like the past six years. country in general."

"After this banquet, you will all return to your original counties."

"I, Fusu, don't have anything to give."

"I will give you a piece of jade. If you have any ideas in the future, you can write to me directly with this jade."

Done.

Fusu shouted outside the lobby.

In an instant, several clerks entered the lobby holding bamboo trays.

Then he told everyone one in turn.

After everyone got the jade stone engraved with special words, Fusu had no intention of staying any longer and said calmly: "The sky is high and the road is long. See you soon. I hope that when we meet again, we can still be like this time." Talk to each other, not fight each other."

"Of course I don't think the world will go to war again."

"after all."

"The war in the world has ended!!!"

After saying these words, Fusu didn't look back and just raised his arms and left.

Everyone was left with mixed feelings.

Li Dan and others' eyes narrowed slightly. They looked deeply at everyone present, but they didn't say anything more. They just raised their hands to signal, and then left one after another.

finally.

Only officials from Kanto were left in the lobby.

Everyone said nothing to each other, they just stared blankly at the jade in their hands, with mixed feelings in their hearts.

There is no shortage of smart people in the world.

Fusu is a smart man.

He guessed their thoughts from the beginning. He never mentioned promoting or appointing them from the beginning to the end. He simply praised them for their hard work during this period. The rest just expressed some emotions and gave some suggestions at the same time. Counsel and admonish.

Wu Rui looked at the crowd and sighed: "Our Highness is actually like a bright mirror in his heart, and he knows our thoughts very well. He has never wanted to embarrass us, he is just using this to test our thoughts."

"In all fairness."

"If the situation in the world were not unstable and there were people who understood the righteousness so well, I, Wu Rui, would actually be willing to join in. But right now, I am not alone and I have a lot of burdens on me. I really don't dare to make a choice easily."

"but."

Wu Rui rubbed the engraved jade in his hand and said with a strange look on his face: "Your Highness also left us a way out. His character and mind are really admirable."

The eyes of the others were dimmed.

What Wu Rui said may not be what they thought.

They are different from the officials in Guanzhong. They are in Guandong and far away from the imperial court, so they must be cautious. If the world really changes, if they choose to side with the Qin court, they are afraid that their heads will be lost immediately.

Do they have any choice?
Unless it is true that, as Fusu said, there will be no more wars in the world and Da Qin can completely occupy the world, then they dare to make choices, otherwise maintaining the status quo and staying away from the court is the most correct choice at the moment.

It is also the only option.

But is it possible?

They shook their heads secretly.

impossible.

The gap between Guandong and Guanzhong is so great that Fusu alone cannot make up for it. Even if Fusu intends to make changes, the accumulated grievances of all the people in the world have been accumulating, and they need to be released after all.

The world has suffered from Qin for a long time.

It is not Qin that suffers, but the whole world!
Only by releasing hundreds of years of grievances in the world can the world truly be stabilized.

And all this will be at the expense of Qin's death!
This is also destined.

At least in their hearts, this was already doomed.

The drunkenness of the people at this time has long dissipated.

Compared with the previous enthusiasm, it has become much colder.

Everyone simply cupped their hands, said goodbye to each other, and began to leave.

Less than a cup of tea time, the lobby was empty.

Only the mess on the ground.

Branches on the moon.

Fusu did not rest.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the bright moon sky, with mixed emotions.

In fact, he could have retained or even promoted these people, but after weighing them, he gave up.

He is no longer what he used to be.

He also has a more transparent view of people and things.

If you want to accept these people as Qin Yong, you need to ensure at least one thing.

The world is at peace!

This is something he cannot guarantee at the moment.

He chose to take a step back, give the officials in Guandong some time, and at the same time stabilize the world as soon as possible.

Finally, the collection of the world will be realized.

　After two days of rest, I feel a little out of rhythm.

　　[-] tomorrow, pick it up slowly.
