Chapter 180: Who Should I Save When I Fall into the Water?
The remaining major families were already frightened birds after learning about the fate of the four major families. After lobbying by the two clans, and the people described it vividly, the major families believed that the weekend was the reincarnation of the god of war, and they couldn't wait to hand over their family property and private soldiers, so as not to turn around and kill them on the weekend.
After a bloodbath, the weekend controlled Yingdu in a real sense, and mastering the authority is also mastering the right to speak, and whether it is among the courtiers or the people, the weekend has successfully established its prestige, reversed the negative image, and is no longer the faint monarch who is indulging in fun in the hearts of the people and courtiers.
After he completed the task, he was able to return to modern times, and this time he copied several major families, and the treasury received a lot of good things. So on the weekend, I reviewed with great interest, and Cheng Jia handed in the list and selected the items that suited my heart.
"Did you have a bit of a calculation when it came to collecting your belongings? Don't fill your pockets with unclean hands and feet. Weekend reminded.
"Wechen has always been inseparable." Cheng Jia is a smart person, and he immediately understood the deep meaning of his words.
Weekend nodded with satisfaction.
I have to say that these century-old family heritage is profound, and the family property of several families is about the same as the tax revenue of the national treasury for a year, but most of their family property is bronze.
The bronzes belong to the cultural relics controlled by the state, and they are not allowed to be bought and sold publicly, and the price is relatively cheap. After careful selection, I finally picked a sword that was as sharp as clay on the weekend.
He had shown "telekinesis" many times in front of everyone before, and everyone who witnessed it thought he knew how to do immortal arts. Cheng Jia was right in front of him, and he asked someone to take the sword over the weekend and put the sword into the system space in front of Cheng Jia.
Cheng Jia once again witnessed him "taking things from the air", and he gradually became a little accustomed to it, and he almost decided that King Zhuang had learned some immortal methods, and he was a little more in awe of the weekend in his heart.
The next day, I went to the court again on the weekend, and at a glance, the number of ministers in the court was much higher than before, and there were many fresh faces among them.
The ministers looked at the weekend on the throne, and his gaze seemed to be no different from that of ordinary people after the jade crown hanging from the crown, but he had a royal temperament all around him, and just yesterday his hands were stained with the blood of countless people. He is like a sleeping lion at this time, and whenever a foreign enemy invades his territory, he will erupt, leap up, and bite the enemy's neck.
Observing the ministers' expressions through the jade crown over the weekend, the ministers' reactions were quite satisfactory over the weekend.
Cheng Jia walked out from the ministers and said: "King Zhuang, there are many clansmen in the four clans who serve in the court, and now they have all surrendered to the law, but the vacancy caused by them must be filled by meritocracy as soon as possible, so as not to cause changes in the chaos." ”
Before the weekend, a list of people who colluded with the major families was written, and then it was just a matter of selecting talents from outside the list.
"You ask people who are not on this list to come to me one by one, and I will pick the right people from them."
The civil official handed over the list to Cheng Jia, and Cheng Jia was secretly stunned, when did King Zhuang write this list?
In the past, the appointment and dismissal of officials had to go through a process, first recommended by the direct superiors in the original unit, and then the final candidate was decided by King Zhuang, but in the past, King Zhuang never cared about the appointment and removal of officials, so the appointment and removal of officials was still in the hands of Cheng Jia.
How to choose the right official has already had a proposition in mind on the weekend.
In the early afternoon, all the qualified officials waited outside the temple for the weekend summons.
The first candidate official came in, glanced at the roster on the weekend, and his eyes fell on the person kneeling on the ground, and asked directly: "Shi Qingjia, don't be nervous, I just want to ask you a question." If I fall into the water with an ordinary person, and you can only save one, what are you saving me? Or save the people? ”
In modern times, women like to ask their husbands which one they will save if they fall into the water with their mother-in-law. The weekend questions were similar. During the Warring States Period, hundreds of schools of thought contended, and Confucian culture did not have a dominant one, and the doctors did not have the concept of putting the people first and the monarch first, so there was no standard answer.
"How can the ants and untouchables be compared with King Zhuang, of course Weichen will save King Zhuang." Vera didn't want to be eager to show her loyalty to the weekend. Just kidding, how can a pariah be compared to the king of a country.
"Good! Won my heart. "The Emperor's Mind Technique, that is, he can't let people see what he thinks in his heart. Weekend glanced at the waiter, and the waiter hurriedly went to summon the next person.
Shi Hao was confused, there was already news in the court, this time King Zhuang played in front of him in order to select talented people, if he was appreciated by King Zhuang, he would be able to carp jump into the dragon gate. But on the weekend, he only asked him one question and sent him out. When he came out of the main hall, some of the officials who were friends with him awaited summons immediately stepped forward and asked him what King Zhuang had asked. But he didn't know why, and others wouldn't believe it when he said it, so he had to wave his hand to the side and say nothing.
More than a dozen officials were summoned in a row, and the answers were all the same. On the surface, it seems that everyone is satisfied with everyone's answers, but if everyone is satisfied, how do you choose a good person?
At this moment, a man in his fifties, with gray hair and a sewn and mended official uniform, walked much slower than the others.
The roster stated that this person's name was Qin Qian. This person's resume clearly states that he is fifty-one years old. It is rare for people to live for 70 years, and in the Warring States Period, people can live to 50 and they can be regarded as the very longest-lived among the ancients.
I asked the same question too many times, and my mouth was a little dry on the weekend, so I drank tea to moisten my throat.
Mechanically asked the question again over the weekend.
Qin Qian paused, and even thought half a beat slower than others. "King Zhuang is blessed by heaven, how could this happen?"
"The world is like a chess game, who can say for sure what is happening in the world?" It's cunning to avoid his questions. This person has some skills than others, and he has always been just a low-class official before, because the family he was born in is not prominent, and he can only be regarded as a low-class family among many families. Although powerful people can also get ahead during the Warring States period, they must also be given the opportunity to shine.
However, he avoided the questions asked by the weekend, and the weekend would not let him just fool around, so he had to show some skills.
"If such an unfortunate thing really happens, Weichen will definitely save King Zhuang."
"Oh? Why? ”
"The safety of King Zhuang is related to all the people of Chu, although Wechen gave up one people, but saved the people of the entire Chu State, Wechen thinks it is a good deal."
I asked this question over the weekend, not because I wanted the courtiers to say that the people were more important than the king, after all, this Confucianism was too advanced for the people of the Warring States, and it was not conducive to the rule of the imperial power. It's not that I want to hear how the courtiers can make sycophants.
The ministers who came in to answer before all said that they wanted to save King Zhuang, and when asked the reason, they all said that the people were inferior and King Zhuang was noble. Anyone can say beautiful things, how fanciful what they say, when they really need help on the weekend, these loyal courtiers don't run away, and they will be grateful on the weekend.
