"Great opportunity?"

As soon as they heard Li Si's words, the ministers of Zhao State present couldn't help but be a little confused in an instant, and they all cast puzzled glances at Li Si.

But Zhao Dan didn't think so, on the contrary, Zhao Dan's eyes lit up, and the whole person seemed to be very interested, and said to Li Si: "Li Qing, tell me, how is it a way to destroy the Wei State?" ”

Li Si said with some excitement: "Your Majesty, please think about it, because of Duan Ganzi's murder of the monarch in the current Wei Kingdom, there must be people in the country who are extremely uneasy. As the overlord of the world and the leader of the alliance of the Seven Kingdoms, it is natural for the king to correct Duan Ganzi's behavior and completely eliminate Duan Ganzi, a shameful traitor. ”

"Therefore, the king can use the righteous name of killing the traitor Duan Ganzi to send troops, and then order the army to annex the Wei State!"

As soon as Li Si's words fell, the other ministers of Zhao State in the hall couldn't help but show shocked looks on their faces, and the eyes that looked at Li Si suddenly began to feel a little wrong.

You must know that whether it is Zhao Sheng or Lian Po, their plan is either to gain fame or to get the land of Wei.

Li Si is good, and the opinions he put forward not only want to gain fame, but also to uproot and completely eliminate the huge Wei State!

Zhao Sheng couldn't help but open his mouth and said to Li Si: "Li Qing, it is understandable that you are young and inexperienced, but after all, this is discussing important military matters, and you can't talk so much in front of the king." ”

Zhao Sheng's words, half of which did have the meaning of good words and persuasion, and there was also no lack of beatings and warnings, which meant that although the king allowed you to participate in this discussion, but after all, you are too young, too young, and not capable enough, so you should obediently shut up and let us mature and capable people solve this matter.

But since Li Si became a lieutenant, he has been a wooden man enough, and he has waited for an unknown amount of time before waiting for such an opportunity to speak.

Li Si knew very well in his heart whether he could get rid of the title of acting lieutenant on his body now, and be able to truly gain the power to participate in the discussion of military aircraft affairs like the other six important ministers of Zhao State, completely because of the opportunity given by Zhao Dan today.

In the face of such an opportunity, don't say that it is Zhao Sheng, even if Li Si's father and ancestors are here to scold Li Si, then Li Si also wants to say these words in his heart, so that everyone knows that I, Li Si, is fully capable of becoming an important member of the political arena of Zhao State!

Thinking of this, Li Si's whole person suddenly became calm, smiled at Zhao Sheng, and asked unhurriedly: "Li Si Bucai, I want to ask Ping Yuanjun here, I don't know how Pingyuanjun thinks Li Si's opinion is inappropriate?" ”

Zheng Zhu on the side frowned and said: "Li Qing, if the king really sends troops to attack Wei in the name of helping Wei to crusade against rebellious ministers and thieves, and pockets all the Wei land along the way, it is indeed something that can be done with the strength of our country's military strength now." But the question is, how can you guarantee that other countries will definitely stand by and let our country annex Wei? If you can't do that, then your opinion is misleading! ”

Zheng Zhu's last sentence made a very severe accusation against Li Si.

As the saying goes, there is no love for no reason in the world, and there is no hate for no reason, and the reason why Zheng Zhu jumped out to question Li Si is naturally for a reason.

As a lieutenant of Zhao Guo, Li Si's own function is to be responsible for the assessment of officials, and to decide whether officials are promoted or demoted by virtue of the assessment.

However, due to the fact that the personnel power of Zhao has always been personally controlled and interrogated by the monarchs of previous dynasties, many times the lieutenant is only responsible for the assessment and reporting, and then the decision is made by the king of Zhao himself, so that there is naturally no such momentum as the "heavenly official" in later generations, and even able to compete with the cabinet.

However, fortunately, due to the big mistake made by the previous Si Kou Zhao Bao, the current monarch Zhao Dan transferred the power of supervising officials that originally belonged to Si Kou to the lieutenant.

Therefore, the current lieutenant department is now responsible for supervising the daily administration and misconduct of officials, and is also responsible for evaluating the annual performance of officials.

To put it simply, the original lieutenant was the invigilator during the exam, and was responsible for supervising the situation of the officials of the Zhao State during the exam (in the autumn), and then handed over the test papers to the king, who was responsible for grading the test papers.

And now, when the power of Si Kou has been handed over, in addition to being responsible for invigilating the examination during the exam, Lieutenant Zhao Guo has also assumed the responsibility of the class teacher, and can punish and supervise unqualified officials and students, so it can be said that his power has been greatly improved.

In such a situation, Li Si was naturally full of confidence and wanted to let go of his hands and feet, and it happened to usher in the autumn plan, so Li Si threw himself into it with great enthusiasm.

You must know that Li Si, as a legalist official, attaches great importance to this kind of examination of rules and regulations, and he is not only very ruthless to himself, but also very strict with others.

Li Si's predecessor, Li Bo, was originally a strict and well-known official, but Li Si's strictness was even completely above Li Bo, which made the officialdom of Zhao State feel unbearable.

For example, in this count, Zheng Zhu's big bank actually had 16 officials demoted or dismissed because they were not qualified, and another 37 officials were warned because their grades were within the danger line (they were demoted if they were warned for two years, and they were warned to be dismissed directly for three years), which is three times the number of previous years.

Zheng Zhu, as an important minister of Zhao State, naturally had some channels, and he had discovered such a result in advance, so he secretly visited Li Si, wanting Li Si to raise his noble hand and let Zheng Zhu's subordinate officials go together, so that Zheng Zhu's big bank department would not be too ugly in this plan.

However, Li Si refused Zheng Zhu's request without hesitation, and insisted very resolutely on the original results without the slightest change.

After the results of the above calculation came out, Zheng Zhu's big bank department was undoubtedly at the bottom of the seven departments in charge of the ministers, and was criticized by Zhao Dan, so Zheng Zhu was naturally very unhappy with Li Si.

You must know that the autumn season has only ended on October 25, that is, it has just passed a few days, and the anger in Zheng Zhu's heart has not dissipated at this time, and it is inevitable to find trouble with Li Si.

Regarding Zheng Zhu's sharp questioning, Li Si didn't seem to be worried at all, and the whole person seemed to have begun to get used to the feeling of expressing opinions on such occasions, and he was much more comfortable when speaking.

"Zheng Qing's words, although they sound reasonable, but from the perspective of the overall situation, it is too one-sided."

This rebuttal naturally made Zheng Zhu's face flush with anger, you must know that Zheng Zhu has been in charge of Zhao's diplomatic work for more than 20 years, and he can be regarded as an old diplomat of Zhao, and he thinks that he is also a well-known columnist on the mainland today.

But now it is such a junior who is younger than Zheng Zhu for almost a whole generation, saying that Zheng Zhu looks at diplomatic issues too one-sidedly, how can Zheng Zhu endure this?

Zheng Zhu immediately opened his mouth and shouted at Li Si: "Li Qing, you dare to speak so wildly in front of the king!" If you can't say anything good this time, I will ask the king to cure you for this sin of opening the river! ”

Zhao Dan, who was sitting on the throne, frowned, and said in a timely manner: "Okay, don't quarrel, they are all widows and important ministers of Zhao State, and they are still arguing here, what kind of system!" ”

After seeing that both of them closed their mouths, Zhao Dan said to Li Si in a deep voice: "Li Qingru can say it well if you have something to say, don't say anything else." ”

It seems that he is blaming Li Si, but in fact, he is a little protective of Li Si, after all, he has quarreled with Zhao Sheng and Zheng Zhu without saying this, and when he finishes speaking, won't he offend everyone?

To be honest, this is also a common problem of Legalist officials, that is, it is very, very easy to offend people.

Legalist officials attached great importance to the rules and regulations and the emperor's decrees, and in layman's terms, they liked to be the emperor's loyal dogs, and even did not hesitate to make enemies of other Zhao officials who were also in the official class for the sake of the emperor.

As a result, colleagues often have a very poor perception of Legalist officials, and whenever they have the opportunity, they will attack these Legalist officials in groups, trying to bring them down and make them stink.

As long as you flip through the history books, you will find that representatives of Legalism such as Li Sichao, Zhang Tang, Sang Hongyang, etc., are basically like this, they are not treated by their colleagues when they are alive, and as long as they are abandoned by the king, they can only die.

Although the contradiction between Li Si and Zheng Zhu has definitely not reached that point now, Zhao Dan doesn't want his minister to get to the point where you are living and drinking, so he specially warned Li Si to see if he can understand it.

Li Si responded after hearing Zhao Dan's words, and he didn't know if he understood, so he immediately said very respectfully: "King, the reason why the minister said that just now is actually for a reason. Chen's idea is actually very simple, it is true that although our country is very strong now, it is not enough to destroy Wei independently. But...... What if the Great King united with other countries and took advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attack Wei together? ”

As soon as Li Si's words came out, the entire hall was suddenly silent.
