A year later, Shushan.

Ye Wuji's eyes calmly looked at the Tai Chi Bagua Array that had become extremely dim, and under the continuous impact of that evil force, the seal was getting weaker and weaker.

"Your Majesty. "The original Shao Si Ming, the current Star Soul, and the Flame Spirit Ji appeared behind Ye Wuji on the left and right," there is news from Xianyang's side, the vanguard of the Roman Empire has appeared. ”

Flame Spirit Ji slowly reported that in the intelligence, the vanguard of Rome had already fought with the Golden Fire Cavalry, and in the first round of confrontation, the Golden Fire Cavalry led by Meng Tian completely defeated the other party.

However, this is also normal, the empire is waiting for work, and the Roman Empire is an expedition of laborers, not to mention that this is only the vanguard of the Roman Empire, both in terms of quantity and quality, the empire has an absolute advantage.

"I've been here long enough, so let's go back to the palace. "This year, Ye Wuji basically never left Shushan and has been staying in Shushan.

In the face of the seal left by the Yellow Emperor era, even if Ye Wuji is confident, he does not dare to be careless, since the seal has been inevitably damaged, then prepare for battle in advance.

Originally, the emperor of an empire has not been in court for such a long time, and various problems will inevitably arise, but these problems have not been dealt with by Gai Nie, Wei Zhuang, Han Fei, Xiao He, Chen Ping and others, and the empire has not had any major problems, and the empire has been developing steadily.

The reason why Ye Wuji stayed in Shushan for a year was that in addition to dealing with the destruction of Yu Yuan's seal in the future, he also didn't want to hear news from the outside.

This year was also the most chaotic time for the anti-Qin forces, and some originally prosperous cities even had the phenomenon of ten rooms and nine emptiness, even the territory of Chu ruled by Tian Yan and others was extremely chaotic at this time.

The current anti-Qin forces are not even able to cope with the attack of the empire, and they can't even take care of their own internal affairs, and the conflicts between the forces of various countries and their own residents are intensifying day by day.

Ironically, the families that escaped from the scope of the empire before are constantly moving towards the interior of the empire, and I have to say that feng shui takes turns.

This year was also a year of steady development of the empire, schools were established one after another, and at the same time, the Great Qin Imperial Bank was officially established.

The emergence of banks has an immeasurable role in the development of commerce, especially in this era, small transactions are good to say, a large number of transactions, the amount of money needed, can only be pulled by a carriage, the status quo of this kind of transactions, seriously restricts the development of commerce.

There are eight ways for subordinates to realize their conspiracy: First, they are in the same bed. What does it mean to share a bed? That is, a noble lady, favored and delirious, flattering, and beautiful, is exactly what the monarch is obsessed with. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the monarch to live happily and be drunk and full of food, to beg them for what they want is a means to make the monarch obey. The courtiers bribed them with gold and jade treasures through the inside line, and asked them to bewitch the monarch, which is called "sharing the bed". The second is on the side. What does it mean to be on the side? That is, to advocate excellent dwarfs, to be close to the acolytes. These people. The monarch accepted it without giving an order, and accepted it without support, comprehending the monarch's intentions in advance, and feeling the monarch's mind in advance. These people are the ones who act in unison, in one tone, in one voice and action to change the monarch's mind. The courtiers bribed them with gold and jade treasures through the inside, and helped them do illegal things outside, so that they could influence the monarch, which is called "on the side". The third is father and brother. What do we mean by a father and a brother? That is, an uncle or brother is a person who is close to and loved by the monarch, and a minister and court official is a person who consults and conspires with the monarch. These people did their best to participate in the council, and the monarch must listen. As a courtier, he used a musical Chinese girl to serve the uncles and brothers of the monarch, and used rhetoric to envelop the ministers and court officials, and at a critical moment, he entered the lord of Galu, so as to stir them up and make them interfere with the monarch, which is called "father and brother". Fourth, nourishment. That is, the monarch likes to decorate the palace and the pond, and likes to dress up a Chinese girl and a dog to pleasing the eye, which is the monarch's calamity. As a courtier, he used all his people's strength to decorate the palace and the pond, and increased the endowment to dress up the Chinese girl and the dog, so as to entertain the monarch and disturb his heart, obey his desires, and mix selfish interests in it, which is called "raising trouble". Fifth, the people are cute. That is, being a courtier distributes public property to please the people, makes small favors to win the people, and makes the court and the people agitate to praise themselves, so as to deceive the monarch and achieve his desires, which is called "people's meng". Sixth, popularity. What is popular? That is, as a monarch, he keeps his words in his stomach and does not talk to people, rarely hears his subordinates talking, and is easily moved by rhetoric. Be a courtier, seek a good argument abroad, and provide for those who can speak at home, so that they may speak for their own selfish interests. To speak beautiful words, to speak fluently, to induce him with favorable circumstances, to intimidate him with evil, to invent false words to harm the monarch, is called "fashion". Seven is mighty. What does it mean to be powerful? That is, the ruler relies on the masses of ministers and the people to form a powerful power. What the people like, the monarch likes, and what the people don't like, the monarch doesn't like. As a courtier, he collected knights with swords, provided for outlaws, and used them to show off his might, advocating that those who obeyed him would get it, and those who did not obey him would die, so as to intimidate the ministers and the people so as to realize their personal intentions, which was called "mighty and strong". Eight is the Quartet. What is the Quartet? That is, as a king, the small country serves the big country, and the weak soldiers are afraid of strong soldiers. If a big country blackmails a country, a small country will obey it, and if a strong army oppresses the territory, a weak army will obey it. Those who are courtiers will increase their endowments, exhaust their money and food, weaken their own country to serve the great powers, and turn to the power of the great powers to coerce their own monarchs; in serious cases, they will attract the armies of the great powers to suppress the territory to hold the country hostage, and the lighter ones will repeatedly bring in envoys from the great powers to deter the monarch and make him afraid, which is called the "Quartet". All these eight means are the means by which the courtiers realize their treacherous schemes, and they are the reasons why the contemporary monarch is deceived and held hostage and thus loses his power, and it cannot be ignored.

Ming Jun admires the beauties and beauties in the palace and ignores their admonitions, and is not allowed to make personal requests. For the right and left attendants, when using them, we must strictly monitor their remarks and not exaggerate. For fathers and brothers and ministers, listen to their opinions, but be sure that they will be punished to guarantee the consequences, and they are not allowed to make false recommendations. For things to watch and play, there must be a basis in the law, and the ministers are not allowed to sacrifice or cut without authorization, so that the ministers do not guess the monarch's mind. The Ming monarch's exercise of favors, all the distribution of goods from the treasury and the grain of the official warehouse, and the benefit of the people, must be in the name of the monarch, and do not let the subordinates attribute the favor to themselves. As for those who are discussed, those whom are praised by those who praise them, and those whom are hated by those who are degraded, must verify their talents, find out their faults, and do not allow the ministers to praise or slander each other. For those who have courage, meritorious service in combat is not rewarded unusually, crimes are not forgiven for breaking the law in private fights, and ministers are not allowed to buy people with personal wealth. The Ming monarch obeyed the legitimate demands of other vassal states, and rejected those who were not. The so-called king of the dead country does not mean that the country is gone, but that the existence of the country is completely unowned. If you let your subordinates control the country with external forces, the ruler will lose his country. Obeying a great power in order to save the country from peril is faster than not obeying, so don't listen. When the ministers knew that the monarch did not obey, they did not collude with the foreign princes, and the foreign princes knew that the monarch did not obey, so they did not accept the nonsense of the subordinates defrauding their own monarch.

The Ming monarch set up official titles and knights, which were used to promote talents and encourage meritorious heroes. Therefore, those who have great merit are honored and rewarded. Meritorious persons are appointed according to his talents, and they are awarded according to their merits. Therefore, talented people do not hide their talents to serve the monarch, and meritorious people are willing to make meritorious deeds, so things can be done and meritorious deeds can be established. Now it is not the case, without evaluating the virtuous or not, whether merit or not, appointing those who are valued by the princes of other countries, obeying the requests of the right and left attendants, and the father and brother ministers ask the monarch for knighthood from above, and sell it below to collect wealth and cultivate private parties. Therefore, those who have a lot of wealth buy officials and become honorable people, and those who have dealings with the monarch's close servants become powerful people by asking for trusts. The hard-working courtiers were not judged, and the changes in official positions were reversed and confused. Therefore, the officials neglected their duties and went out to mingle, abandoning their affairs and greedy for money. Therefore, the talented people are slacking off and do not seek progress, and the meritorious people are depraved and despise their duties, which is the atmosphere of the country![1]

Increasing the endowment, exhausting money and food, weakening one's own country to serve the great powers, and turning to the power of the great powers to coerce one's own monarch;
