Chapter 52: Referring to a Deer as a Horse
The next day.
Xianyang.
"These ministers, all despicable, no one can be trusted, no one can be cleared, I understand that this emperor is not easy to be." Hu Hai lamented that his subordinates were all a bunch of miscellaneous fish, and they were useless, and he was extremely disappointed.
"What Your Majesty said is extremely scary, it is not easy for the first emperor to create Great Qin single-handedly!" Zhao Gao saw that Hu Hai was a little sad, so he followed his meaning, anyway, what is he saying now?
Now Xianyang can do whatever he wants, Hu Hai is just a child and doesn't understand politics.
"Speaking of government politics, I may not be as good as Fusu." Hu Hai felt that the minister had deceived himself, and he was not as good as Fusu at this point, and the people wanted it.
"If you want to talk about ability, Your Majesty may indeed be inferior to Fusu, but isn't Your Majesty just engaged in politics?" Zhao Gao saw Hu Hai's sad face, and now he remembered that he was not capable, but unfortunately it was too late, "Besides, there are more capable people, but there are a few people who have the opportunity, and Your Majesty can ascend to the throne, which shows that this is fate." ”
Without him Zhao Gao, there would be no such fate, it seems that seven points depend on hard work, and three points are destined!
Hu Hai thought about it and felt that there was some truth, but it was Zhao Gao's help before and after, otherwise he would not have been able to sit on the throne.
"No, it's all the credit of Taifu, and I will learn from Taifu in the future." Hu Hai has a weak heart, he is not happy to be an emperor every day, he understands that the emperor is not good.
"Your Majesty, let Weichen really be a little flattered." If Zhao Gao hadn't used him as a shield, he would have been disobedient, but fortunately he didn't destroy his own business.
"Taifu, how do you say that as the emperor, how should I serve the people?" Hu Hai now knows that others don't accept him at all to let this emperor go, especially when rumors spread outside, and he can't compare with Fusu.
Now it has reached a point of deception, he doesn't know how to choose, why is it so difficult to be a good emperor.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty will know what it means to serve the public later?" Zhao Gao smiled, he specially prepared a set of questions for Hu Hai today, I believe Hu Hai has learned a lot.
"Audience of the ministers." A eunuch said.
"See Your Majesty." Everyone hurried to pay homage to the emperor.
"Flat." Hu Hai looked at the group of people below and said with an expressionless face.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The crowd responded.
Zhao Gao said to Hu Hai: "Your Majesty, Weichen has harvested a valuable and good horse from a southern merchant and is ready to present it to Your Majesty. ”
Good horse?
Hu Hai still had a little bit to look forward to, so he didn't know what tricks Zhao Gao was playing, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then let me open my eyes today." ”
"Yes." Zhao Gao responded.
"Bring it in." Zhao Gao said.
I saw seven or eight big men outside the hall carrying something in, covered with cloth.
Seeing this, the ministers hurriedly turned around to see what tricks Zhao Gao was going to play.
Zhao Gao waved his hand and motioned for them to break the black cloth and uncover it, and there was a deer in the cage.
Someone said: "Is this clearly a deer?" ”
"yes!"
whispered one by one, not daring to make a big noise, afraid of falling for this Zhao Gao's trick.
They still remember Li Si's fate yesterday, but they didn't dare to make any more remarks, for fear of annoying Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao looked at the people below and said again, he knew what they were talking about, smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone, take a good look, take a look, is this a deer?" Or is it a horse? ”
Everyone looked, it was indeed a deer, no one dared to speak, did not know what to say?
For fear that if they made a mistake, they would become Li Si at that time, so they couldn't make a hasty decision, so they could only follow Zhao Gao's wishes.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Zhao Gao smiled and said, "Otherwise, what do you think is a horse standing on my left, and what you think is a deer standing on my right?" ”
It's another multiple-choice question, if you're not careful, you may be famous, Zhao Gao has already killed a lot, and these people have already followed Zhao Gao!
No one dares to disobey Zhao Gao, otherwise it will be death.
Everyone didn't know how to choose, they didn't know where to start, it was obviously a deer, they had eyes, but they didn't dare to say it.
People who are greedy for life and afraid of death and steal life have read the books of sages in vain, and even the last pure land in their hearts is gone.
Just when everyone was hesitating, someone thought of a way, since the imperial court was already the dictatorship of this eunuch, there was no problem on his side.
Zhao Gao couldn't even kill the people who followed him, so someone hurriedly asked Zhao Gao: "So what Taifu said just now was a horse or a deer?"
Some people listened, this method is the best, and there is no choice with Zhao Gao, unless you Zhao Gao even kills yourself, then they will admit it!
"I think it's a horse, let's start choosing!" Zhao Gao smiled, looking at these people and feeling funny.
Hearing Zhao Gao say that it was a horse, some people felt that they had chosen!
"It's a deer, why didn't you see it clearly." Some people began to think that it was a deer, insisted on their own ideas, and said to the person who said the horse.
Zhao Gao looked at the two sides, so he said, "Everyone, you better go forward and take a look and confirm." ”
Everyone stepped forward to take a look, and there was no doubt that it was indeed a deer, and someone said, "Everyone, this is obviously a horse!"
"No, it's a deer!"
"The prime minister just said that this is a horse."
"yes, you have to look closely, it's a horse."
"The prime minister personally bought it, how can it be fake."
"That's the horse."
"It's a horse."
"It's a horse."
After reading it, everyone stood on Zhao Gao's left, indicating that this was indeed a horse.
Some people think it's too child's play, and everyone knows that it's a deer, and they can only think of it as a three-year-old child.
Almost everyone stood on the left, and a few people were still watching, Zhao Gao pointed to the caged deer and said, "This is indeed a good horse." ”
"Yes, the prime minister is right."
"Good horse."
"Good horse indeed."
"When you grow up, you must be a Maxima."
"It's just a god horse."
"I think so."
Hu Hai looked at everyone like this, Zhao Gao can let everyone tell the deer out of the horse, he is indeed capable.
The remaining few people didn't dare to speak, only a few of them, afraid that it would be more than lucky, and they didn't expect Zhao Gao Chaotang to be like this.
It's really chilling, the invincible Great Qin Empire actually let a eunuch be in charge.
"Okay, it's a horse." Hu Hai smiled and said, "Retreat!" ”
When everyone retreated, Hu Hai said to Zhao Gao: "Taifu, why do you say it's a horse, it's obviously a deer, why did so many people say it was a horse just now." ”
Zhao Gao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this question is actually very simple, because they want to live, and they want to live well." ”
Hu Hai looked puzzled, and asked again: "Taifu, didn't you call me the Emperor's Technique?" What does it mean to refer to a deer as a horse?"
Zhao Gao said: "Your Majesty, but any adult can tell whether it is a horse or a deer, we say that he is a horse, that is a horse."
This is the criterion for selecting talents, because he can follow us, otherwise no matter how capable people are, we will resolutely not use them.
If you can't use your ability, that's a scourge, just like a wild horse, although your leg strength is good, you can't use it at all. ”
Hu Hai smiled when he heard it and said, "Taifu is right. ”
Since then, officials of all sizes in the imperial court have heard Zhao Gao's change of color, and they have not told the truth, after all, such a ridiculous thing can be accepted by Hu Hai, so what else can he not accept.
Hu Hai didn't even know what he was becoming an emperor for, and he didn't even have the ability to judge things, so he didn't pay attention to the government from then on.
