Chapter 337: The Unthinkable Counselor (Second Update)
Therefore, the Huns still have to deal with it, and this advice doctor still has to make good use of it, and neither end can be delayed.
To say that this Lu Jia, who has already decided the position of counselor in Yinggao's eyes, is still very nervous in his heart in the past two days, the night Xiao He came to him he knew that Yinggao must have liked what he wrote, and he was very satisfied, otherwise, it was a counselor, and his position in Daqin's court was not low, how could he design a list for himself for such a position?
But the next day, when Lu Jia really saw the notices posted all over Xianyang City, his mood was a little different from before.
Originally, he thought that this position of the counselor was rewarded by Yinggao for the good things he wrote, but as soon as he saw the duties of the counselor, Lu Jia knew what was going on, and said in his heart that the emperor dared to arrange himself to this position in order to make good use of his mouth!
What is his biggest ability, Lu Jia still knows it very well in his heart, that is, eloquence! And the responsibilities and conditions of this position of counselor, in Lu Jia's opinion, seem to be specially tailored for Yinggao for himself, which can be regarded as affirming his ability in some aspects, but at the same time, Yinggao has put forward a lot of requirements for himself.
It stands to reason that even if this is the case, Lu Jia still has to be grateful to Yinggao, because if there is no Yinggao, he will only lecture in Daijun at most, and who can find him, even if he does, maybe he will be killed directly because he participated in Xue Jun's anti-Qin alliance?
But Lu Jia is not a fool, although he has never mixed in the court of Great Qin, but what kind of officials are and what the nobles of Great Qin are like, he still knows some more or less, Yinggao asked him to do this, even if he wants to break the so-called balance and ecology of the court of Great Qin, if he does this, he will be poked in the backbone by some nobles of Old Qin, pointing his nose and scolding.
What's more serious is that if he really uncovers the old background of a certain old Qin nobleman, people will want to kill him, and Lu Jia has no doubts in his heart.
Can this young emperor of Great Qin protect himself?
This is Lu Jia's biggest question after seeing this notice, he is not stupid, he knows what kind of character he will become in the Great Qin Dynasty if he does this, and in addition to knowing Yinggao and Xiao He, Lu Jia does not have any foundation in Xianyang City, although Yinggao and Xiao He are almost the most powerful characters in Xianyang City, but they are used by people, if someone really wants their own life, they will not protect themselves Lu Jia's heart is uncertain.
These are just superficial matters, and if you think about it a little deeper, Lu Jia also knows that if he gets to the position of a counselor, then the reform strategies he wrote before are bound to be put forward through his own mouth.
And such a strategy will definitely damage the interests of many nobles in the Great Qin Dynasty, coupled with the responsibilities of the counselors themselves who were required by Yinggao before, it is a problem for how many days he can live.
To go, or not to go?
This question has been haunting Lu Jia's heart since he saw the notice, and he knew that if he directly told Xiao He that he couldn't do this counselor, Yinggao and Xiao He probably wouldn't kill themselves, but they would just put themselves in Xiao He's mansion in the form of staff, in that case, the new ideas that he thought out and put forward would definitely come out of Yinggao's or Xiao He's mouth, and in the final analysis, it would have nothing to do with him.
In the end, Lu Jia told himself that what kind of decision he made was nothing more than gambling with his own life, betting on what his status in Yinggao and Xiao He's hearts was.
If he gambled, Lu Jia knew that he would probably die on the way back to his mansion one day, but it was more likely that Daqin's history would leave his name forever, and it would even be quite a strong stroke.
If you don't gamble, you may be able to live in the shadow of Yinggao and Xiao He, and even live quite well in Xianyang City in Daqin, but there is one thing, no one will know who Lu Jia is, no one will know what Lu Jia has done for Daqin, and a few years later, when he dies, he may only remember that his name is Lu Jia, and he is a very talented person.
This night, Lu Jia almost didn't sleep, and he was fighting a very fierce battle in his heart......
In the end, on the last day of the doctor's registration, Lu Jia appeared in that place and wrote his name and information on a piece of bamboo slips, what he didn't know was that Xiao He, who had been hiding in the dark and observing silently, finally let out a long breath after seeing him appear, and then Shi Shiran left.
"Then Lu Jia didn't sign up until the last day?" The next day, the news reached Yinggao's ears.
"It's not like this guy isn't very interested in the position of the counselor, is he?" Xiao He was a little incomprehensible about this Lu Jia's series of strange actions, if it was replaced by any other Confucian scholar or the inheritor of another school, if there was such an opportunity for his voice to spread in the court of Great Qin, he would definitely seize it, even if this opportunity might bring him some dangers, how could he retreat in order for himself to be able to make a name for himself and carry forward his inheritance? So this Lu Jia has been grinding on the ink for so long, and in Xiao He's heart, this guy's purpose may be a little impure.
"If he is not interested, this guy will not go to register on the last day, the more he values his life, the more he can make a difference in this new position of counselor, I am not a reckless man in the position of counselor, the more he values his life, the more he can use his mind to complete my task, since Lu Jia can decide to do this on the last day, it should be that he has already thought it through."
Ying Gao's patient explanation made Xiao He acquiesce in this matter in his heart, indeed, what Ying Gao said is reasonable, and it cannot be said that things are somewhat biased towards Lu Jia, Xiao He also knows the risk of this counselor, if he gets to that position, he has to expose the problems of those Great Qin nobles every day with the determination to die, so thinking about it, he doesn't look down on Lu Jia so much.
Soon, it was the day when the position of the counselor began to be examined, and this time in the exam, Yinggao did not make any more moths, but adopted the traditional written test method, and there was only one question, that is, what are the pros and cons of Daqin's new policy.
But even so, there was a lot of discussion in the Great Qin Dynasty about Yinggao's bold attempt, this time, Yinggao was equivalent to digging a pit for them, and when they didn't want the position of the doctor, Yinggao's true purpose was revealed.
By this time, there were some old people in the court who had already faintly felt something, but they didn't have any real evidence, just a counselor who no one wanted to be, it really didn't mean anything, and with Yinggao's ability in the Great Qin court, even if you could see something, you had to weigh your own weight first when you called the emperor of Great Qin, didn't you?
Originally, Yinggao did have the idea of whether he could use this examination school to find more talents in Xianyang City, but after the end of this examination, Yinggao found that this is indeed an unlikely thing.
And those who have signed up, almost all of them are people who fish in troubled waters, Yinggao's topic, almost all of them are praises and praises to Yinggao, these people obviously want to let Yinggao see themselves by slapping the horse, and then become this counselor, as for the post, of course, it is still a whisker.
Originally, I was still interested in personally reviewing the bamboo slips of these people, but after a day of review, I couldn't smile bitterly, and I said that the reason why this talent can be called a talent is really because he is a little too rare.
Therefore, needless to say, the position of this counselor doctor is Lu Jia's.
When Lu Jia's name spread on the court of Great Qin, and even on the ground of the entire Xianyang City, except for Ying Gao and Xiao He, most of the officials of Great Qin were confused, they thought that they should be able to carry Xiao He or Han Xin's subordinates to choose one of their cronies to hold this position, but this Lu Jia turned out to be such a person that no one had ever heard of.
This made the officials in the Great Qin court more and more unaware of what kind of medicine was sold in Yinggao's gourd, and they absolutely did not believe in Yinggao's opinion in their hearts that Yinggao had to arrange this doctor according to the results of the school examination, but for such a thing, they were helpless, so they could only quietly observe the changes in the court.
On the night when Ying Gao announced that Lu Jia was about to officially start participating in the next court, when the rest of the officials were sneering at this person they had never heard of, in the hall of Meng Yi's mansion, several princes in fancy clothes who looked much younger than Meng Yi knelt in front of Meng Yi, and their eyes were full of awe when they looked at Meng Yi.
"From tomorrow, no matter how much property you have used the king's new policy to obtain, all of them will be dispersed, my Mengshi clan, if there is a trap for my people of Daqin, those who violate the king's order will be expelled from the Mengshi clan immediately, and today I have added this article to the ancestral teachings, and you will all draw your name on this bamboo slip!"
Meng Yi's voice was quite cold, and after finishing speaking, he threw out a roll of bamboo slips that had been around for some years.
"Uncle, the monarch is persecuting the old Qin nobles in Xianyang City, the uncle is silent, and it has nothing to do with my Meng's family, one of the two uncles is the first person in the court except for the king, and the other is my Daqin God of War-like figures, my Meng's family is doing their best for Daqin, what kind of money can be from the hands of some Qianshou, if my uncle does this, he will fall into the inferior, and the status of my Meng's clan will be greatly inferior to before!"
"That's exactly the case, uncle, there is indeed a rumor above the court of Great Qin, but my Mengshi has been fine, doesn't this already show that the king is not the same as other nobles for my Mengshi family? Uncle don't have to worry about that. ”
As soon as Meng Yi said this, the few young people below couldn't sit still, during this time, with the new spring breeze of the New Deal, several of them all turned the people in the family into businessmen, taking advantage of the status of Meng Yi and Meng Tian brothers in Xianyang City, almost whatever they wanted, they could do whatever they wanted, and they could set as high a price as they wanted.
From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, the young people of the Meng clan, who have already tasted the sweetness, naturally don't want to listen to the words of Meng Yi, who is almost the patriarch who presides over the overall situation in Xianyang City.
Listening to the reluctant words of his two juniors, Meng Yi's eyebrows twitched slightly, if anyone who knew him saw it, they would know that this was a sign before the imperial lieutenant was angry, and if he knew each other, it was better to hide away.
"If such remarks come out of your mouth again, you will no longer be a member of my Meng clan!"
After saying this, Meng Yi's gaze swept in front of everyone below one by one, obviously, this time he was really angry.
The young people below also finally realized that Meng Yi, who has always had a mild temperament, was playing really, if he argued with Meng Yi at this time, not to mention his nephew, it was his own son, who estimated that you are not a member of the Montmont clan, and you will not be a member of the Montmont clan.
So, under Meng Yi's obscenity, these children all wrote their names on the ancestral teachings of the Meng clan, and promised not to take advantage of the loopholes of the new deal, so Meng Yi put them all back in their respective mansions.
Looking at the ancestral training in his hand, Meng Yi finally breathed a long sigh of relief, obviously, he had already seen something from Yinggao's actions, and began to take precautions.
