135 Refusal to serve as prime minister

"The rebellion has basically subsided, there is Taifu Li Ling, the general Wang Jian An is in the country, and there are prime ministers in the court, Wang Qi, Tingwei Li Si and others to assist the king, and now the Great Qin State, the current king, no longer needs the old man like the old man to point fingers and support from the side."

"Xiangbang?"

"Your Majesty, please also ask the king to allow the old man to resign from his position in the court, tell the old man to return to his hometown, be a rural scatterer, and enjoy two days of leisure."

"The widow has just been crowned, and Chang Yu has not yet been caught, and now many officials have been slaughtered by Chang Yu, and there is a big vacancy, is the middle father really going to leave at this time?"

"The old man is old, the king doesn't have to worry, the affairs of the DPRK and China and the appointment and dismissal of personnel, the old man has already discussed with Wang Qi and Li Si, and he will give the king a list as soon as possible, and ask the king to approve the last wish of the old man."

LΓΌ Buwei fell directly to his knees, he, the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, finally decided to completely let go of power and leave.

"Well, since the middle father has made up his mind, the widow will not be kept."

Ying Zheng has been looking forward to this day for a long time, and even if he keeps it, he is just talking about it.

"That's right, Lis!"

"The minister is here!"

"Regarding the rebellion of Chang Yu, although this Chang Yu was recommended by Xiangbang to enter the palace, after all, Xiangbang is the hero of my Great Qin State, and he is also the middle father of the widow, and he has great merit to my Great Qin, Xiangbang has now handed over the right, and you don't have to hold Xiangbang accountable!"

"Yes, I understand."

"Old man, thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Buwei said thank you, but he was very unhappy in his heart.

I have already taken the initiative to quit, but I didn't expect to end up with a bad name, but unfortunately I can only be unhappy after all, and Lu Buwei did not hate Yingzheng because of this, but felt very happy, at least, the current Yingzheng is experienced enough.

"Taifu, are you willing to be a widow's minister?"

Ying Zheng's words suddenly changed, pointing directly at Li Ling, and he actually wanted to appoint Li Ling as the new prime minister.

"Thank you for the king's love, but Li Ling thinks that he is a martial artist, he doesn't know how to govern the country, and he can't be the prime minister."

"If even the Taifu claims to be a martial artist and doesn't know how to govern the country, then wouldn't we have no face to stand in this hall? Taifu is the king's Taifu, the world also respectfully calls him the master, although he did not recruit disciples, but his concept of governing the country still leads me to the ministers of Daqin, Taifu is to recommend Weichen to the king's side, so that Weichen has today's status, Taifu is really unwilling to be the position of this Xiangbang? ”

Seeing that Li Ling was about to refuse, Li Si glanced at Ying Zheng, and after making sure that he could come out, he immediately stood up.

"Yes, what Li Si said makes sense, and if you don't say anything else, Taifu's ability to see people is unprecedented, not only Li Si, but also Lieutenant General Wang Qian, I heard that Mr. Yuzi also came to Xianyang because of Taifu!"

"Since Taifu entered and exited the court, he first destroyed the Zhou royal family, resisted the invasion of foreign enemies, quelled the rebellion of Mi Chen and others, and now he has exterminated the Chang Yu Rebellion Party and maintained the orthodoxy of my Great Qin.

"Please Taifu take the position of Xiangbang!"

Things are always like this, with one person taking the lead, someone will immediately echo it, especially since this matter was first proposed by Yingzheng.

"You don't have to persuade me anymore, it's okay for me to go into battle to kill the enemy, let me stay in Xianyang to deal with the government, I really don't have that ability. Moreover, the king's ambition is in the world, so do you think I should stay here to help the king govern a Qin country, and shouldn't I be outside the Hangu Pass and lay down the whole world for my Great Qin? ”

β€œ......”

Now don't talk about other courtiers, even Li Si, and even Ying Zheng can't let Li Ling serve as the prime minister anymore, Li Ling said this, if you let Li Ling stay in Xianyang as a prime minister, you will trap the Qin State in the existing territory.

"Since this is the case, the widow has decided, so the post of Xiangbang will be vacant for the time being, and the widow will make a decision after the Taifu finds a suitable candidate for the widow."

......

"Master, why don't you be in harmony! What a good opportunity this is, the middle father is gone, let you come to be this Xiangbang, and condense the entire Qin State into a rope for Zheng'er, just like the master once taught Zheng'er, only when the whole country is twisted into a rope, can we work together to work hard, rush out of Hangu Pass, and let my Great Qin stand in... Standing in ......"

"Standing tall among the nations of the world."

"Hehe, it's been too long, Zheng'er forgot about it, but the master knows what Zheng'er means."

Scratching his scalp, he and Li Ling hadn't communicated so easily for too long.

"You go and find Li Si, I'll rest here, and when Li Si arrives, I'll talk to you in detail."

After the court meeting was dispersed, he found that Li Ling was left alone by Ying Zheng, and Li Si knew that Ying Zheng was likely to look for him for a while, so Li Si didn't leave the palace at all, so it didn't take much effort at all, and Li Si appeared in front of Li Ling.

"Li Si, do you think I should stay in Xianyang and be a prime minister, or should I go out to lead the troops to fight?"

"Back to the master, Li Si thought... thought that the master should stay in Xianyang to be a minister, at least for a few years, he should stay in Xianyang. ”

"Look, look, even Li Si said that the master should stay in Xianyang."

Hearing that Li Si also agreed with his own opinion, Yingzheng instantly came to his senses.

"Li Si, your uncle, I specially brought you here to ask you to help me, and you actually teamed up with Zheng'er to anger me!"

"Master, don't blame Li Si, Li Si also said his own opinion."

Li Si hurriedly apologized.

"Then tell me why you think I should stay in Xianyang."

"Li Si knows that the master is determined to assist the king to dominate the world, but the time is not ripe at the moment, the canal built by Zheng Guo is about to be completed, but it is still not completed after all, even if it is completed, the grain harvest in Guanzhong will not rise until at least a year or two, and the logistics are not enough to ensure that it is not suitable for a large-scale army. At the same time, the Chang Yu Rebellion Party has not yet been cleared up, the country is still unstable, and the military strength of our Great Qin is not enough to dominate the world, and the time is not ripe. ”

"Good fellow, you really say the head of the way, but let me tell you, I just don't want to be this prime minister. Zheng'er, you remember for me, in the future, the Qin State will not need to have a Xiangbang! The position of Xiangbang commands all military and political powers, and there are no checks and balances in this position! A person who has lost his checks and balances, if he has other careful thoughts, the entire Qin State is in danger. Therefore, Qin State, from today onwards, do not set up the post of Xiangbang again. ”

After hearing what Li Si said, Li Ling didn't say anything, his analysis was very reasonable, but this was not the reason why Li Ling refused to serve as Xiangbang.

"Li Siduo thanked Master Tzu for his teachings."

"I see, no wonder the master is unwilling to serve as Xiangbang!"
