"Shechen!?"

Qin Shi Huang was stunned, and the others, except for Zhao Gao, including Meng Tian, who had already arrived at the door by being carried and was about to use Rong Di's invasion to catch Yi Xiaochuan, were also stunned.

There are many nouns, things, and characters in this era that have not appeared, including the minister, or this year there are only two concepts of loyal ministers and ** ministers, either loyal or treacherous, non-treacherous or loyal, and other concepts of courtiers have not appeared at all.

"Yes, Shechen! The last general will not dare to be a traitorous minister, but he also does not want to be a so-called loyal minister, and the last general is willing to be a capable minister or even a minister! ”

Qin Shi Huang's brows furrowed: "What is a minister?" ”

"The so-called ministers are not those who are honest, arrogant, upright, and talk about the country and Your Majesty, but in fact rarely really care about the needs of the country and Your Majesty, and only care about what kind of public reputation, fame and even how to evaluate the history books after death. But it is definitely not those traitors and thieves who turn their backs on Your Majesty, collude with foreign enemies, and sell their countries! ”

"The so-called ministers are external treacherous, corrupt, tyrannical, etc., many people will think that they are traitors, but in fact, they have their own bottom line, and they are still courtiers who are loyal to the country and the king. On the one hand, this kind of courtier can die for his family and country and His Majesty without regrets, and do his best for the soldiers and horses and the people under his rule, but on the other hand, he has his own selfishness and does not hide it. They will loot the people's fat and ointment, they will bend the law for bribes, they will engage in favoritism, they will suppress political enemies, and they will flatter Your Majesty at every opportunity, but they all have their own bottom line of principles, and they know that if they are enough, they will definitely not damage the majesty and fundamental interests of the country and Your Majesty! ”

Qin Shi Huang's face became more and more strange: "This courtier is a little interesting, as you said, it is really not a loyal minister, and it is definitely not a traitor...... Well, just listening to the meaning of your words, it seems that there are many kinds of courtiers, not limited to loyal ministers and ** ministers, and everyone wants to be, at least they want to say that they are loyal ministers in front of the truth, why do you disdain the name of loyal ministers? ”

Without waiting for Guo Dong to answer, Qin Shi Huang suddenly turned his head to look at Zhao Gao: "Zhao Gao, I know that you have a close relationship with your uncle, I wonder if you are also the minister that your uncle said?" ”

Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, he didn't know how this goods could be less than his body, looked at Qin Shi Huang, looked at Guo Dong, and the denial that had reached his throat was somehow swallowed back by him, and then gritted his teeth and didn't get up, he knelt directly on the ground and walked a few steps to Qin Shi Huang and bowed down in front of him: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that it is absolutely impossible for anyone to think that the minister is a loyal minister, but as Uncle Guo said, the minister will never dare to be a traitor, so ...... The minister is a minister! I am also willing to be a courtier! ”

Qin Shi Huang was stunned, and Li Si and Meng Tian, who had just asked others to figure out the ins and outs, were also stunned.

What's going on today, why are there two of them, and now there is a third one who has taken the wrong medicine?

People can't wait to pat their chests and say that they are good, right, and right, that they are loyal ministers, that they only have the country in their hearts, and they have no selfishness.

Why are these two guys all convulsed today? What is even more unacceptable to them is that Qin Shi Huang is not only not angry at all, but is very interested and even likes this answer?

"Oh? Can you tell me why you want to be a minister? How do you understand Shechen? ”

Zhao Gao kowtowed to Qin Shi Huang: "Your Majesty, the traitorous minister only has himself in his heart, and he doesn't care about the country and His Majesty at all, and the minister would rather die than do it!" And loyal ministers, not to say whether those so-called loyal ministers accept a eunuch, just say that how many loyal ministers are true and how many are false? Among those really loyal ministers, how many of them just keep talking about the country and Your Majesty, maybe they are right, but in fact they don't care at all whether they are useful or not, whether they are really beneficial to the country and Your Majesty! As Uncle Guo said, they care more about what others think of them, so loyal to them...... Your Majesty, although the minister is a castrated eunuch, he doesn't disdain it! ”

Therefore, the minister and the uncle are willing to be a traitorous villain in the eyes of others, and willing to be a minister who has selfish desires, but absolutely puts His Majesty and the country first! Because the root of the traitorous minister's foothold is their own interests, and it is harmful to the country, and the foundation of the loyal minister's foothold is to leave a name in history and be admired by all the people, and they can abandon anything for the sake of these. And the minister and the uncle are the ministers, and everything that the ministers follow is His Majesty, and then the country! ”

"In the eyes of loyal ministers, the country is above everything else, including Your Majesty, but they don't care at all that this country is Your Majesty's country. In the eyes of the ministers, His Majesty is above all else, we can be greedy, we can practice favoritism and even break the law, but we will never infringe on Your Majesty's interests, because in our eyes, including ourselves, and the whole country, are Your Majesty's, and naturally Your Majesty is the foundation of everything. It's like a horse, we usually want to eat some good forage, and even if there is a special horse boy to serve us, it would be nice to have an egg every day. But when the director is in need, he will ride his horse and whip down, even if there are thousands of troops on the opposite side, he will definitely not rush in and fight with the master in the army without the slightest hesitation! ”

Zhao Gao's words made most of the people, especially those so-called loyal ministers, such as Meng Tian, very ashamed, and even unable to accept and agree with them at all.

But Qin Shi Huang laughed and patted Guo Dong's shoulder, and then gently kicked Zhao Gao: "You minion can speak!" Get up and give me a thump on the shoulders! ”

Zhao Gao smiled in response, then got up from the ground, waited for Qin Shi Huang to sit back on the throne, and gave him a slap on the shoulder.

"Uncle Guo, tell me what you think of the courtiers!"

Guo Dong nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”

"The last general believes that there are not only traitors and loyal ministers, and that there is absolutely no person, anything, or anything in the world that is absolutely pure and single, and so are courtiers! Courtiers should not be simply divided into loyal ministers and ministers, courtiers should be composed of good ministers, capable ministers, cadre ministers, virtuous ministers, traitorous ministers, loyal ministers, ministers, foolish ministers, direct ministers, honest ministers, etc., and each kind of courtiers is not absolute, it is only the most important identity positioning, it does not mean that it can only be this one, there will be other more or less, good or bad properties in the body, that is, the so-called people are not perfect, the principle of heaven and earth. A nation and a king do not need and cannot have only one kind of courtier! As the saying goes, the ruler is short, and the inch is long! Complementarity and synergy can be all-encompassing. ”

"And those who are ministers, except for the kind of traitors who bring disaster to the country and the people and collude with foreign enemies, the rest of the ministers, no matter what kind of courtiers, should be based on the identity of the minister, not those names! No matter what kind of courtier, it must be His Majesty's courtier first, and then he can talk about other things, and some people have reversed this relationship between primary and secondary! I forgot that there was a king first, and then there was a king's ministers! Minister, Sasuke of the king! And not the Sasuke of the mountains and rocks! ”

Qin Shi Huang frowned, slightly closed his eyes and tasted it carefully for a long time: "Okay, good, it is really a lion man with amazing words, such a statement is shocking, but there is something to say and true!" Come here, pass on my life, this time my monarch and ministers...... The theory of the three monarchs and ministers can be recorded in the history books, and ordered to be passed on to the world, so that everyone in the world knows! ”

After finishing speaking, Qin Shi Huang turned his gaze to Meng Tian: "Aiqing, you have come just in time, this time I have decided that Uncle Guo will lead the army to recruit Rong Di, in addition to the 13,000 elite people in his headquarters and the 7,000 people in the Juxian Hall who are imprisoned in various prisons, 30,000 from your Mengjia army need to be transferred from your Meng family's army...... No, if you take out 50,000 people, I don't know what difficulties Aiqing has? ”

Meng Tian was stunned, he didn't expect that he just wanted to take this opportunity to fish out Yi Xiaochuan, but Guo Dong fished out the entire Juxian Hall!

But why? If there was really a Juxian Hall in his heart, why did he personally lead people and soldiers to surround the Juxian Hall and arrest all the people in the Juxian Hall?

"The minister has no objection, but I just want to ask Uncle Guo that 70,000 soldiers and horses are mobilized from three places, are you not afraid of chaos and chaos? In addition, I don't know what kind of soldiers does Uncle Guo want for these 50,000 soldiers and horses, and how many are they? ”

There are many kinds of soldiers and horses, such as cavalry, charioteers, foot soldiers, archers, and foot soldiers, and there are several kinds of foot soldiers, including swords, long ges and shields with weapons, and cloth armor, leather armor and iron armor with clothing and armor, so Meng Tian asked what kind of soldiers and horses Guo Dong wanted.

After all, Guo Dong originally only needed to transfer 30,000 people, and Qin Shi Huang increased it to 50,000, but it was not all of the Meng family's army, so he naturally wanted to ask a clear and good arrangement.

"Fifty thousand soldiers and horses are all Changge soldiers!"

The matter was settled, and then Guo Dong took a holy decree from Qin Shi Huang and sent people to various prisons, bringing the scattered members of the Juxian Hall who were imprisoned in various places to Xianyang on the way to Rongdi to wait for the convergence, while he himself and Zhao Gao, who had nothing important to do after the next dynasty, personally went to the largest prison in Xianyang to greet the released Xiang Liang and other core members of the Juxian Hall.

"Ziliang, today really scared me out of a cold sweat, I didn't expect that the words you said about Yuchen before were really useful!"

Although today's incident was sudden, Guo Dong and Zhao Gao were not prepared at all, but the relevant remarks about Yu Chen had already been said by the two of them before, after all, the two of them were destined to be only themselves, and there would never be any concept of family and country, the world, and the king and society, but such a side could not be known to others, so a good-looking skin was needed to be draped on the body as a disguise.

Of course, you can also say that you are both a watch and a memorial arch, and this description is indeed more accurate.

"This is not just some nonsense, today's events also make me understand a lot, no matter what our two brothers are for, at present, we are really only doing the road of the minister, whether it is right or wrong, right or evil, just Qin Shi Huang alone!"

Zhao Gao stopped: "But Qin Shi Huang will die in two years, what will we do then?" ”

Guo Dong smiled: "When the time comes, the two of us will break up!" ”

Zhao Gao was stunned, and looked at Guo Dong puzzled: "Break? What rupture? ”

"Qin Shi Huang, as the first emperor in history to unify the world, is not a fool, naturally knows that among his many children, the most suitable to inherit the throne is Fusu, and the most unsuitable to inherit the throne is Hu Hai, and the rest are too mediocre, so they will inevitably pass the throne to Fusu before they die. But Fusu's ascension to the throne is only bad for us and not good, especially for you. So what we have to do is to get rid of Fusu at that time, unite with Li Si, the head of civil officials, and help Huhai to take the throne together. ”

"Of course I know that, but why should the two of us break up?"

Zhao Gao still didn't understand what Guo Dong meant.
