Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 9 There is no avenue in the world that cannot stand, and the court cannot succeed without power! (for collection)

Outside the Xianyang Palace.

Fusu waited respectfully outside the hall, with a slightly apprehensive expression.

He really didn't want to provoke Shihuang to be angry again.

It's just that the situation is different this time, Ji Heng is a man of great talent, if he can come forward to save him, it will surely benefit thousands of people in Great Qin.

All he thought and worried about was Da Qin, if his father knew about it, he would forgive him. Thinking of this, he subconsciously touched the thick bamboo slips in his sleeve, feeling a little at ease.

soon.

Then someone said loudly from the hall: "Chuan, the eldest son Fusu has an audience."

Fusu took a deep breath and entered the hall with a solemn expression.

He often went to Xianyang Palace, but every time he entered the palace, he was a little worried, lest he would be scolded by the First Emperor.

A hundred steps away from the first emperor, Fusu bowed respectfully and said, "My son, Fusu, has met my father."

"Say, what's the matter?" Ying Zheng didn't look up.

"Your minister is here to plead guilty." Fusu said nervously, "My younger brother was punished by the emperor and imprisoned. Since my younger brother was young, I was afraid that the environment in prison would be uncomfortable, so I sent someone to send me wine and meat on my own initiative. Because the etiquette and law are inconsistent, the son is the elder brother, but he knows that he has violated the law, so I ask the father to punish him."

Fusu knelt down on the ground, her forehead pressed against the ground.

Ying Zhengren listened to Fusu's opening, and after reviewing the memorandum in his hand, he said lightly, "I already knew about this matter. As an elder brother, it is understandable for you to be considerate of brothers. If this time it is only for pleading guilty, you can step down." , I don't have time to listen to these trivial matters."

Fusu lowered his head as hard as he could, but still noticed Shihuang's eyes lingering on his face for a long time.

It seemed that he was a little disappointed in his visit this time.

Fusu gritted his teeth tightly, finally withstood the pressure, and said with difficulty: "My son... My son came here this time, besides pleading guilty, I also want to intercede for Ji Heng."

"My son read Ji Heng's related documents and files today. This man is not very old and has limited reading. He has such an understanding of the world situation only after listening to a few Confucian scholars. This man is really amazing. If it can be used by the imperial court, it will definitely become a great help to the imperial court."

"This person did slander Qin Zheng, but as far as I know, he was probably bewitched by a few Confucian scholars."

"My son."

"I want my father to pardon Ji Heng's death crime!"

Ying Zheng stared at Fu Su silently for a moment, shook his head in disappointment, and said: "Since you have read Ji Heng's documents and files, you must know the past life of this person, but only based on some bamboo slips and some hearsay. Do you dare to know this person with such certainty?"

Fusu said:
"My son doesn't dare."

"It's just that my son looked at his documents and files, and didn't see that he had the heart to mess with Qin."

"Besides, with his shocking talent, if he really had a heart of rebellion against Da Qin, he would have chosen to flee Xianyang long ago. How dare he continue to stay in the city?"

"This person has no restoration trip in the past. It is recorded in the documents that this person only behaved badly once, that is, criticizing the Great Qin's New Deal in the street. But in the eyes of my son, these are not harmful to the overall situation, so my son has a feeling of compassion. Heart, I want to ask Father to spare his life."

"Father, please enlighten me."

"Mingjian?" Ying Zheng snorted coldly, and shouted angrily, "Do you want me to be like you, according to my personal preferences, after reading some documents and files and understanding some details, and then hastily changing the sentence? Such a ridiculous joke Behavior, do you still have Qin Fa in your eyes?"

heard.

Fusu's face turned pale, and he knelt down on the ground in horror.

Ying Zheng threw the brush in his hand under the case, and said in a cold voice: "You said earlier that you gave Hu Hai wine and meat, which violated the law. Since you know that you have violated the law, why don't you correct it? Instead, you make mistakes again and again. ? Or even worse?"

"You thought what you saw was the truth?"

"Unexpectedly, those are exactly what he wants you to see."

"I used to let you read "Han Feizi" and "Book of Shang Yang", but you felt conflicted and refused to read them all the time. Now that it's over, you still can't even understand the basic tactics, let alone insight. What's the use of having a benevolent heart while holding on to those pedantic Confucianism all day long?"

"National affairs, everything is about life and death, how can a word of kindness and a word of benevolence be able to end it?"

"Empty talk of benevolence and righteousness will not govern the country!"

"I know I was wrong." Fusu lowered his head, not daring to argue.

"Know your mistake?" Ying Zheng's face darkened, and he shouted angrily, "Is it enough to say you know your mistake? When will you go down and correct it?"

Fusu trembled all over, and sweat dripped from his forehead.

Yingzheng looked at Fusu coldly, but calmed down again, and said calmly and patiently like never before: "Remember, tricks are not all conspiracy."

"Those who are in power are strategizing, so are those in power!"

"What is a politician?"

"The avenue is the foundation, and the strategy is used."

"There is no avenue in the world that cannot be established, and the court cannot be achieved without power."

"Mingjun Zhengchen can not play tricks, but he must be familiar with tricks."

"Why does Han Feizi have the theory of traitors and seven evils who only talk about power and conspiracy? Can he really be able to dominate the country and exercise power if he eats people with one mouthful?"

"He is forging a sharp weapon for Legalists to rule the world."

"Since ancient times, so many wise rulers, good ministers, famous scholars and heroes have all died in the middle of the road because they did not understand power schemes. How many legalist masters also died because they did not understand power schemes or disdain power schemes, and ended up in different places."

"You are my eldest son, born in the emperor's family, you are destined to fall into the quagmire of seeking power."

"From the perspective of disposition and preference, I also don't like power schemes."

"But Jun Dao Art does not make decisions based on personal likes and dislikes. Even if you feel disgusted and conflicted in your heart, as long as you are in its position, you must study it."

"I seek to govern the world with the power of the rule of law."

"Use everyone's learning to temper the power of insight."

"That's why I can intimidate the world with my humble body, dare to hand over hundreds of thousands of troops to others without any worries, and control the court without conspiracy."

"I'm never afraid of anyone playing tricks. Whoever wants to gain a foothold in Daqin relying on tricks, teach him to try."

"But you can't!!!"

"You don't read "Han Feizi", and you don't understand enough about "Shang Jun Shu". You don't know the evil of human nature, and you don't know the benefits of power and conspiracy. Without insight, without insight, blindly pedantic and benevolent, you will only lose power and lose your country."

"Are you still confused by what Ji Heng said?"

"My son is indeed a little confused." Fusu lowered his head, not daring to raise it at all.

Yingzheng gasped heavily, then gradually calmed down, leaning on the big pillow of the couch, and said slowly: "If you had a deep understanding of "Han Feizi" in the past, you would not have such doubts at all, let alone choose to come here."

"My son is willing to read Han Zi's book from now on." Fusu said hastily.

"Okay, let's not talk about it." Ying Zheng closed his eyes dejectedly, and said with a flick of his sleeves, "Go on, don't plead for others so easily in the future."

"You don't have the ability!"

"Don't you want to know the reason? Let Ji Heng tell you."

"Royal father." Fusu paled.

"Get down!" Ying Zheng opened his eyes, which were filled with indifference.
