For a long time after receiving the thanksgiving, Chen Sheng was still in a dream. It was as if happiness had come so suddenly that he couldn't believe it was real.

But soon, he calmed down from this happiness, and then panicked inexplicably. He didn't have much experience in management in two lifetimes, and now the imperial court handed over a territory that had just been conquered to him to manage, which in itself was unreasonable.

The newly annexed land of Ouyue, with its backward economy, strong folk customs, disobedience to the king, and its own way of government, it is difficult to integrate these people from outside the country into qualified residents of the Qin State. He suddenly found that what was handed over to him was not a fragrant dumpling, but a hot potato.

That night, Chen Sheng set up a banquet to entertain Han Dongqing's old Yushi, Meng Yi and Fusu who came from Xianyang. During the banquet, Han Dongqing was very happy, and drank seven or eight old wines in a row, and the wine was so drunk that the old imperial history took the case and said with emotion: "The old man has been this imperial history for more than 30 years, and he has been the imperial history for so many years, and he has impeached many big traitors and evils, and also recommended many young talents. However, the talents who can enter the eyes of the old man, Master Wei and the emperor are only Chen Junshou, who hopes that the county shou can be in a county in central Fujian, can defend Tuanbang, recruit barbarian aborigines, and a Huaxia family. ”

Chen Sheng was humble, and he persuaded to drink frequently, and the guest of honor was happy for a while. Meng Yi and Fusu took advantage of the old imperial history's wine, and asked a lot about the attitude of the court ministers to the emperor's appointment of the county guard of Minzhong, the old imperial history didn't know whether he was drunk, or he didn't think to keep it secret, and told everything he knew, even the left prime minister Li Si was demoted to become a court lieutenant, the right prime minister Feng Qujian was shelved, the CRRC government ordered Zhao Gao to be reprimanded by the emperor, and Wang Juan was reused by the emperor and so on.

Both Fusu and Meng Yi had their own channels to learn about these contents from the imperial court. But the information he got was not as clear as what Han Dongqing said.

Of course, in addition to these news, everyone also got other content from Han Dongqing's mouth.

After the emperor appointed the county guard of Minzhong County, he let go of the ministers to discuss the three positions of county commander, county lieutenant and county supervisor of Minzhong County. These three positions are all very important.

There is no doubt that this round of agreement will involve various factions in the contention, and the result is not unexpected. The position of the county is obtained by Ying Huo, Ying Huo is the son of the royal family, the son of the emperor's uncle, the age is not confused, he has been a young secretary in Zongzheng Mansion, dealing with royal affairs, this time, the side branch of the royal family also showed his influence, and sent Ying Huo to Minzhong County as a county Cheng.

The appointment of the county lieutenant was even more surprising, it turned out to be Li Si's third son Li Shen, Li Shen is only twenty-three years old this year, not long ago, the emperor gave him a marriage and married a princess of the imperial family. This is a great honor for marrying her family, but for Li Si, it is nothing, because his eldest son Li You and second son Li Tong have both taken the royal princess, and Li Shen can marry a princess, which is no exception.

Li Shen, who was full of ambition, was originally one of the best candidates for the county guard of Minzhong County, and in addition to him, it was Zhao Tuo in the Southern Expedition Army who was his opponent. However, Zhao Tuo was transferred by the emperor to continue to fight, and the emperor appointed Chen Sheng as the county guard, which made Li Shen very disappointed for a while. Getting the position of county lieutenant still didn't make him feel better.

In the end, only the county supervisor remained. What is surprising is that this old imperial historian Han Dongqing is the new county supervisor. Unexpectedly, Lao Yushi has been an official in the court for decades, and he has the possibility of being released as an official when he is old. However, for the court officials, it is a derogatory to transfer Han Dongqing out of Xianyang and put him in Fujian, a place where birds don't. From Chen Sheng, Ying Huo and Li Shen, these people are not too old, and if they are placed in Fujian, it can be said to be a kind of gilding or exercise, but Han Dongqing is already old, and if he is placed here, he will be old. Many ministers who don't know what to do still think that Han Dongqing's recommendation this time violated the interests of too many people, and he was banished to Fujian by all forces, and he was accompanied by Chen Sheng. As everyone knows, this is the emperor's most thoughtful arrangement.

After the banquet dispersed, Han Dongqing was arranged to rest, but Chen Sheng was left behind by Meng Yi. Fusu didn't go with the two, but just gave Chen Sheng a look. Chen Sheng knew in his heart.

Now that Han Dongqing has come here, the eyes and ears of all the forces in the imperial court have also arrived at this place, and Fusu is reluctant to let people know that he and Chen Sheng have formed an alliance.

"What do you think of the emperor's arrangement this time?" Lifting the clay pot in front of him and taking a sip of tea into his mouth, Meng Yi "sizzled" and made a comfortable sound, and asked Chen Sheng directly. When Meng Yi has no outsiders, he behaves very casually and uninhibitedly.

Chen Sheng frowned, not knowing the meaning of Meng Yi's words.

Meng Yi chuckled, waved his hand again and again, and said, "I forgot, you kid hasn't even been to Xianyang, and if you think about it, Master Wei rarely tells you about the situation in Xianyang." That's it, Fusu and I will leave Minzhong in the past two days and go back to Xianyang, and I'll give you a reminder here. ”

"Please be taught." Chen Sheng was awe-inspiring when he heard this. He is no stranger to politics, but he doesn't know much about the various forces in the imperial court. Although the teacher occasionally mentioned some powerful people in the court, he rarely mentioned the power behind them.

"You kid don't have to be so serious. Now you are also the guardian of a county, and I am the county keeper of the inner history county. Call me Second Brother Meng. Meng Yidun said with a smile: "The imperial court is naturally the emperor's court. But where there are people, there will be conflicts of interest, and for the sake of their own interests, there are naturally forces in the court that come together by interests. ”

Chen Sheng nodded again and again.

"In ancient books, it is said that the square gathers by like, and the object is divided by groups. The division of power in the imperial court is roughly like this, the two largest forces are civil and military officials, in addition, there are also the royal family and the power of foreign relatives and eunuchs. But that's just the general idea. ”

Chen Sheng continued to nod, he could roughly understand all of this, because in the entire history of the Chinese feudal dynasty, these forces of each dynasty were eternal.

"There are two main factions in the current civil service system." A look of disgust flashed in Meng Yi's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "They are Li Si and Wang Juan's two factions. Both of them used to be the disciples of Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei, but their political views are different, I believe that the political views of the two of them, you are clear, I won't talk about it more. ”

Chen Sheng let out a "hmm". Li Si and Wang Juan are like fire and water in terms of what kind of governance the country implements, which Chen Sheng naturally knows.
