Chapter 55: The Prime Minister's Mansion

At this time, the dark young man who came in at the end smiled and said, "Dare to ask the people of the 'Four Changes', what does this third change mean by the heavy martial arts?" Wei is the first to lead the world. ”

The purple-shirted gentleman laughed heartily, "What kind of fur is the foot? Those who re-emphasize the military and depose the literati are not the martial arts of the mountains and wilderness, nor are they the scholars who dethrone the market. Chongwu dethroned the text, which is the martial art of the temple and the dethroned court. To put it mildly, the cultural rule of the uncle is fading day by day, the general's martial arts are rising day by day, and the military is declining, and the blessing is also a curse? This should be a precursor to the change of Wei's national policy. ”

"Good——! ——! Mining There was an uproar, and there was already a buzz of discussion in the hall.

"So, dare I ask where the change is going?" The young man didn't smile.

At this question, the hall was suddenly silent, and everyone looked at the purple-shirted gentleman.

The purple-shirted scholar is also a young man without a beard, with a mediocre appearance but an extraordinary bearing. He flashed his gaze at the dark young man and smiled: "Chasing after you is not the way of escaping." However, the cave fragrant spring is the land of culture, and it doesn't hurt to express the block directly. Looking at the ends from a distance, the ambition of Wei to dominate has been determined, and it will seek to level the world within three years. The opportunity is now. The day when Uncle Gong died of acne was the time when the general's iron cavalry was rampant! ”

At the end of the day, the hall was surprisingly quiet, and people had forgotten the conventions of judging. The black young man bowed his hand to the purple-shirted gentleman, sat down calmly, and whispered a few words to the white-faced young man beside him.

"Who's under the feet? So alarmist? In the quiet field, a red-clothed soldier with a sword stood up, his face was red, and he asked in a loud voice: "Listening to the words of the foot, it seems that the Wei State should do nothing, and take advantage of the heart." But do I think so? Definitely! Uncle Gong has been in power for 20 years, and he does not try to enrich the people, and his martial arts have been defeated. If it weren't for General Pang Juan turning the tide and winning all three battles, how would Wei have face? Uncle Acne is about to pass away, and it is the day when King Wei gets rid of the shackles and is determined to forge ahead. Although the world is big, only the Taoist lives in it. Could it be that the Warring States are vying for power and land, and our Great Wei State is unifying the world, is it worth being so surprised? ”

"Good——! ——! Mining Suddenly, there was a storm of applause in the hall and shouts of cheers.

The black youth also applauded excitedly. But the purple-shirted man threw his sleeves away.

Another young man beside the dark young man said in a low voice, "General, I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to take a look." Then he turned and left.

The young man walked out of Dong Xiangchun and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the right direction, and it seemed that the footsteps along the way were not fast, but the distance of one mile was quickly reached.

This young man is naturally Qin Feng, Qin Feng arrived near the Prime Minister's Mansion, and looked around left and right, this is the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is the important place of the country, and there are relatively few residents, especially at this moment when the Prime Minister is critically ill, passers-by are even more scarce.

"Hmm...... The Prime Minister's Mansion is heavily guarded. Qin Feng thought secretly, "It seems that we are going to change our strategy." ”

Qin Feng walked to a courtyard wall, lifted his breath and lightened his body, jumped over the courtyard wall, landed in a courtyard, and then walked lightly to the prime minister's residence, and finally, after four advances, Qin Feng saw a residence guarded by several imperial doctors.

"Presumably Uncle Acne lives here." Qin Feng thought secretly, and then slowly approached the wall and sent it in with a thin pole on the window

Go to a tiny thing, this is the same reconnaissance equipment that Qin Feng brought---- a miniature camera and steal. Listen!

After Qin Feng connected the signal, he quietly retreated, found the canopy of a big tree, hid, and looked at the picture that appeared on the screen.

The white-haired uncle was lying on the couch and breathed like a gossamer, and he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.

If he hadn't stubbornly breathed a sigh to see King Wei, he would have already gone back to heaven.

As the pillar of the Wei State, he felt that he was really going this time. He couldn't care about the sparse carriages and horses in front of the door since he was sick, the seldom of visits from King Wei, and all kinds of bizarre gossip.

His only hope at the moment was for King Wei to come back as soon as possible and listen to him explain the last and most important thing in his life.

He knows very well in his heart and is also very confident, whether it is in terms of merit, prestige or even hard work, he is a well-deserved famous minister of the Three Dynasties of Wei. Not to mention the disobedient relationship between King Wei's father, Wei Wuhou and his monarchs.

Since King Wei Hui ascended the throne, his position as prime minister has not wavered. Although he lost several battles and was captured by Qin Xiangong once, he did not add the brilliance of martial arts to King Wei.

But he is still the prime minister, and his status in the Wei court is still so prominent, and the intimacy and trust of the King of Wei in him have not changed.

His loyalty and virtue are well known. In the Wei government, there are many people who ridicule him for his mediocrity, but there is not a single gossip about his moral integrity.

From the bottom of his heart, he affirms himself to be a middle talent. But he also looks down on many talented people, and there is only one reason, that is, these people lack a great virtue to cultivate talents and achieve things. He believes that he has great virtue, but he does not have the outstanding talent to turn great virtue into political affairs.

For many years, he has always had a wish deep in his heart, that is, to find a talent for Wei who can turn things around, and at the same time, this person must have a high political character, so as not to cause trouble to the country. After 20 years of searching, he was once in the sea but it was difficult to find a scoop of drink. Who would have thought that in the past few years when his political affairs were scarce, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he had stepped on iron shoes and had nowhere to find a great talent by his side! The great luck of the country is difficult to find.

I don't know how many times he has sighed, how many times he has been excited, and how many times he has planned to recommend it?

But in the end, it failed again and again. He really didn't know how to handle this important thing, and he was always in a deep hesitation and depression. According to King Wei, General Pang Juan is a genius in the world, and it seems that with Pang Juan, he can be a hundred.

Uncle Acne doesn't see it that way. In terms of political ability, he thinks he is always in the middle. In terms of appearance, he thinks that he is the eye of heaven that never loses one. What Pang Juan lacks is the ability to achieve great things and great virtue, just as what his uncle lacks is the talent to achieve things.

is also a famous general, Pang Juan is obviously inferior to Wu Qi in the early Wei Kingdom. This is the lofty ambition and the tenacious will to never compromise with decay and decay, and it is the kind of grand duke and openness of Qi Huangyang in the old Jin Dynasty who did not avoid relatives and enemies.

Pang Juan can be the general, but he can't be the prime minister. Otherwise, the Wei state will inevitably fall in his scheme. But King Wei always laughed at these truths. Later uncle

Acne will not be talked about anymore.

The country is stable, and the sum of the generals is coming, he always says Pang Juan, how can he be at peace with his heart? At the moment, Uncle Gong didn't think about these anymore, he only wanted one thing, that is, to recommend to King Wei for the last time to inherit his position as prime minister. He believed that King Wei would come to visit him at the last moment no matter what, and he had one last chance. There was silence in the bedroom. The maids on the couch stood around, their faces nervous. The uncle and old lady sitting in front of the couch were helpless, weeping and speechless.

"Uncle and the old prime minister are worthy of Wei Guoyi!" Qin Feng looked at the dying uncle on the screen, and couldn't help but sigh.

Uncle Gong suddenly opened his eyes and asked with difficulty, "King Wei, have you returned to Daliang?" ”

"King Wei returned to the palace last night and said that he would come to the palace at noon today to visit your condition." The old lady hurriedly replied.

"How, you say? Back to the palace last night? Uncle Gong was surprised.

The old lady helped her uncle sit up, "Don't worry, King Wei will come." ”

Uncle Gong sighed in disappointment, and wanted to say something but stopped. After a long pause, he suddenly asked, "Wei Ying, where is it?" ”

"What?" When Qin Feng heard this name, his face changed suddenly! Wei Ying, this is a very famous name in the history of the Qin State. Because, he has another name---- Shang Ying! Of course, that's for later. It's just that Qin Feng knows.

A maid stepped forward, "Prime Minister, the middle concubine is sorting out the Prime Minister's bamboo slips in the study." ”

Uncle Gong panted and said, "Please, please him, come and see me." ”

"Yes." The maid answered the order and hurried away.

The study of the Prime Minister's Mansion is in the second entrance of the front yard, in the cross courtyard of the State Chamber.

The State Office is the main hall where the uncle handles government affairs, and it is also the center of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

There is a moon gate to the west of the state hall, and entering the moon gate is an exquisite small courtyard. There is a pool in the courtyard, with green trees and pavilions, which is extraordinarily quiet. After the pool, there is a row of six-bay brick and stone houses, which is the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion. During the Warring States period, the power of the prime minister was very great.

This "big" is not to replace the monarch's decision-making, but to independently open the government to exercise day-to-day executive power. The so-called opening of the palace means that the prime minister's residence is an independent government office, and the prime minister has the right to convene officials in the palace and issue instructions without entering the palace.

Other officials, except for the king's charter, must conduct official business in the official office to which they belong or are in charge, and the mansion is only a residence in the simple sense.

Uncle Acne is the old prime minister of Wei, and Wei is the most powerful, rich and civilized country, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is even more extraordinary. Let's just say that this prime minister's study room not only contains the world's famous classical books and articles of famous scholars of various schools since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but also contains the government decrees of the Luoyang royal family, the major warring states, and the vassal states, as for the government decrees and classics since the Wei State changed the law.

The so-called learning in the government means that the government has a collection of books and a major intellectual class that cannot be compared with the people. The study of the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Uncle Acne is managed by six young concubines and one middle concubine. Most of the young concubines are young clerks, who actually do a lot of daily sorting, repairing and engraving affairs. The Nakashoko was an adult civil servant, usually a subordinate of the Founding Minister, who could take charge of any specific matter designated by the Founding Minister. In the Prime Minister's Mansion of Uncle Acne, the middle concubine has always been in charge of the study.
