Chapter 133: When the Night Whispers (3)
Wei Yi was silent.
The emperor's intentions, he also had a thorough understanding.
The emperor was not satisfied with the current pattern of the imperial court. Now the imperial court is clearly divided, with the civil official group headed by Li Si, the military attache group headed by Wang Jian and Wang Ben, as well as the royal relatives and other forces are intricate. Since the destruction of the Qi State, these forces, which could still be integrated, have launched a series of struggles for interests. Some departments of the imperial court obviously hit the forces of one side or another. This made the emperor very dissatisfied.
You know, this is his empire, his court. Whoever it is, you have to realize that in this empire, in fact, only one voice is supreme, and no one else has the right to dictate this empire except him. But these people are all old subordinates who have followed him for many years, and as long as their behavior is not excessive, he will keep a certain silence to soothe the hearts of these old ministers. But these people must know that in some areas, they cannot cross the emperor's bottom line. Therefore, in the selection of the county guard of Minzhong County, the emperor gave his own attitude. The candidates given by the ministers of the DPRK and China must be branded with a certain party behind them. Such a candidate is not what the emperor is waiting to see. He wants someone he chooses. However, among the courts, there are not many such candidates.
And Chen Sheng is undoubtedly the most outstanding one among these few people.
can fight, get along with the people of the Yue nationality, and is a student of Wei Yu, his own junior brother, and his foundation is red. The vision and insight and the ability to deal with government affairs should not be too low. Best suited for service in this new county. These are not the most important, the important thing is that Chen Sheng, who was appointed as the county guard of Minzhong County, will no longer be able to be the target of all forces, because the emperor has already stretched his thick thighs over. As long as Chen Sheng is not too stupid, he will naturally understand the meaning. If Chen Shengzhen can manage the place of Minzhong County as Wei Yu said, then he will be transferred to the imperial court in the future, and the imperial court will definitely have another strength. The emperor was not worried about the complicated distribution of power in the imperial court. Because the more contradictions these forces have with each other, the more convenient it is for him to control.
After a period of silence, Wei Yu finally spoke: "Your Majesty is wise. ”
……
Chen Sheng, who was far away in Minzhong County, naturally wouldn't know that in this calm night, he had become the youngest county guard (governor) of the Great Qin Empire. However, at this time, it was difficult for him to calm down.
Dongye is the royal capital of Minyue. Due to the fact that the kingdom barely made a decent resistance, it was captured by Zhao Tuo. He was imprisoned in the palace.
Although he was captured and lost his freedom, the treatment of Su Shao was still good, and the emperor did not order him to be killed, and like Dongou Wang Wu Zhu, both of them were demoted, from king to king, and still had a fief of fifty li in name. This kind of treatment, the kings of the six kingdoms of Shandong did not have this kind of treatment. This is because the residents of the land of Ouyue are more difficult to suppress, so the Huairou policy has become more affordable.
Dongye Linhai. On such an ordinary night. On the beach by the sea, two young people stood.
The sea breeze is very cool, and although it has a fishy smell, it is still very fresh.
Fusu looked at the vast sea, and after a long time, he slowly said: "Before I came to Dongye, I had never seen the sea. Looking at the rising tide, he recalled: "My concept of the sea is only known from Zhuang Zhou's "Getaway". At that time, I also thought that the so-called North Underworld and the South China Sea. It's just Zhuangzi's crazy thoughts at work. It was only when I saw the sea that I knew that what he wrote was not wrong. It's just that, I don't know what the end of the sea will be? ”
The person next to him was Chen Sheng.
Chen Sheng smiled faintly. As for the problem that plagued Fusu, in his opinion, it was not a difficult problem.
"Nature is another piece of land." Chen Sheng added in his heart: "It is a very large and rich land. ”
Fusu didn't answer. Looking for Chen Sheng tonight, it's not to express my feelings and discuss literature or geography with Chen Sheng. After a while, he said slowly: "My ancestor of the Ying clan was just a groom of King Xiao of Zhou at the beginning, because he raised horses well, he was given a small piece of land, this land is still in Longxi, whether it was back then, or now, it can be said to be a barbarian land, who would have thought that hundreds of years later, Daqin would become a behemoth today?" ”
Chen Sheng did not speak. However, it is only when he is in history that he can feel the vicissitudes and drama of history itself.
"Since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, he has been fighting with the Rong people in Longxi and the Central Plains. In the eyes of the Rong people, we are enemies, and in the eyes of the Central Plains countries, our barbarians. Fusu did not hesitate and continued to speak: "In the past hundreds of years, there have been three very great kings who have changed the history of the Qin people. ”
Chen Sheng squinted his eyes and quietly listened to the most noble prince of the empire tell the history of his family's rise and fall. He also wanted to know how Fusu interpreted this period of history.
"The first one is Mu Gong. He contributed a lot to the rise of the Qin State and led the Qin people out of the first turning point. Since then, the state of Qin has appeared in the eyes of various countries in Shandong. Although at that time, in the eyes of the Central Plains countries, the Qin people and the barbarian Hu people in the grassland were probably similar. But it was also because of him that Qin began to compete for hegemony with the Shandong States for the first time. ”
Chen Sheng nodded slightly.
"The second is King Qin Xiao." When Fusu said this. When he said this, a gleam appeared in Fusu's eyes. He said in a deep voice: "King Xiao's reuse of Shang Jun and his large-scale change of law are the foundation of the prosperity and strength of my Qin country. ”
Chen Sheng continued to nod. Regarding this far-reaching Shang Martingale change, Chen Shengshen thought so. This is the most successful change in Chinese history. Although Shang Ying died in the end, the content of the reform was retained, which contributed to the prosperity of the Qin State.
"The third is my father." Fusu said lightly: "Under his overall planning, the Six Kingdoms were destroyed. ”
Chen Sheng continued to nod. Needless to say, the ability of the First Emperor. This world-famous king, among the more than 30 kings of the Qin State, is in the top three without dispute.
"I want to be the fourth." A glint flashed in Fusu's eyes, and he said seriously to Chen Sheng's.
Looking at Fusu who said his thoughts so calmly. Chen Sheng was stunned for a while. He naturally knew that it was not an easy thing to hear Fusu's words. If these words reached the ears of the emperor, the emperor Lao Tzu would definitely not be pleased with the majestic ambition of his son, but would raise the butcher knife fiercely.
So Chen Sheng felt very lucky. At the same time, I feel very unfortunate.
