Chapter Twenty-Three: The Storm (I) [4k, Ask for Subscription]
Give up hate?
Hearing these four words, Ying Rong's face had a mocking smile on his face.
Reign?
He stood up, his hands in his sleeves, and looked at his uncle who was standing in front of him with a calm expression.
"I said, uncle, are you a good person?"
"After the feudal system, will you give up your dream of ruling the world and becoming an emperor?"
"Your Majesty has all kinds of bad things today, but there is only one good, so that people know what to do if they want to have long-term peace and stability after the world is returned to one person."
"It's good for you, it's good for me."
"If one day the division is successful and comes to your own territory, don't you want to follow the example of Your Majesty and rule the world?"
"Now that Your Majesty is still alive, you and I don't dare to make any moves, and there are still so many peaceful days for more than ten years and twenty years in the world."
The corners of his mouth are not only mocking himself, but also mocking the world.
"But Your Majesty's age is here after all, when Your Majesty leaves, are you sure you can still suppress the ambition in your heart?"
"At that time, even if I give up my hatred, will you still be able to give up your ambition?"
Ying Rong walked in front of Yingdian, his eyes were like hungry wolves, shining on this not-so-dark night.
"Actually, you already knew that, didn't you?"
"What hatred can I have in my heart for a father I have never met?"
"Whether it's you or me, it's all for power, for the sake of sealing the country, and for the hope that you can get the world in the future."
Ying Rong turned, and then walked out, his indifferent voice wafting in the wind.
"You and I are just covering our hearts for the sake of the world, how long can we deceive ourselves with such ambitions?"
Ying Rong's body disappeared into the courtyard, leaving only a few floating fallen leaves.
Yingdian silently stared at the fallen leaves, then sighed slowly, and then said, "Who said it wasn't?" ”
"It's just that Your Majesty is so easy to deceive."
His hands slowly gathered in the wide sleeves, and then let go again, looking very calm and calm.
"Cheng Jiao left a group of people back then, and there are still a group of people in my hands."
Yingdian looked at the seemingly vast sky in the distance: "I don't know if the people under His Majesty are really so loyal." ”
"Meng Tian, Wang Qian, Chen Ke, Li Si and others can't dig up, but are all the courtiers as noble as them?"
The corners of his mouth were mocking, with disdain.
In the world, what hero would not want to be a king?
It's just that they don't know if they have the ability or the possibility.
If you come to the end and are cornered, it is also a possibility to challenge the possibility that it is impossible to succeed.
In this world, where there are gods, where there is indelible prestige.
If there is, it is that the benefits given are not enough!
When a benefit is given at your fingertips, even far above death, everyone forgets the danger of death, not to mention the so-called prestige?
Yingdian put down his hand, and then sighed faintly.

barrack
Dozens of miles outside Xianyang City, in the barracks
A man in a military uniform sat there, with a slight indifference, hesitation, and entanglement in his expression.
In front of him sat a man with flowing clothes, looking very ordinary, full of scholarly spirit.
Fan Zeng.
At this time, Fan Zeng was nearly sixty years old, with the smell of wind and frost on his body, but the light in his eyes made him not look like an ordinary sixty-year-old man.
He looked at Zai Yu in front of him, with a sincere expression.
"General, think about it, if this matter is successful, even if His Majesty is angry, what can he do?"
"When the time comes, you can leave with Dong'an Jun and King Qi at that time."
"The King of Qi has promised you, and when the time comes, you will be the general of the Qi Kingdom, won't you live more comfortably than your current life?"
Fan Zeng's eyes were filled with emotion: "Even according to the new official system that is about to be implemented, you are just a four-rank general. ”
"But if you dare to gamble, you can become a doctor who can become a product, or even a minister of a country, side by side with the prime minister."
Fan Zeng's eyes looked at Zai Yu, and he felt that Zai Yu was already tempted.
"Think about it."
"Could it be that Dong Anjun will still deceive you?"
Hearing this, Zai Yu sighed faintly, and then said: "You let me think about it for a while, such a big matter, can I make a decision if you come once or twice?" ”
"Even if I make a decision now, can you trust me to make a decision so easily?"
His fingers kept rubbing underneath, and the pendulum in his heart was constantly swinging.
Jae Yu was really hesitating.
He controls the army stationed here, but the army here is not all the forces around Xianyang City.
Guan Zhongjun was only half a day's work away from him, even if they succeeded by then, would they be able to leave Xianyang City?
The arrival of the Guanzhong army here was only a matter of moments.
Zai Yu actually didn't believe that Dong Anjun's plan could succeed, after all, in his eyes, how could the god-like First Emperor not expect this?
But he was really moved by Fan Zeng's words.
After a long time, he sighed, but still looked at Fan Zeng hesitantly: "Please Dong Anjun give me another day." ”
"Tomorrow on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, I must tell you the news anyway."
Fan Zeng didn't hesitate at all, nodded directly and said, "Okay." ”
He stood up, even if Zai Yu didn't agree to his proposal and didn't agree to his affairs, he still behaved very gracefully.
It seems that he is not worried about a Zai Yu, which makes the balance in Zai Yu's heart tilt a little more.
After Fan Zeng left, Zai Yu sat in the big tent, a little candle flame flickering, reflecting his figure, looking very miserable.
"How the hell should it be?"
Since ancient times, there have been only two ways to rebel, one is to immediately abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and the other is to go all the way to the dark.
Zai Yu also knows this.
But he is still hesitant, most people in the world are like this, they can't make the right decision for themselves.
Even when they make the right decisions for themselves, they sometimes can't follow through with them.
And Fan Zeng, who left the barracks, looked slightly wrinkled.
"The current situation is not good for Dong Anjun."
The truth was not as easy as he had just shown, and the generals he met actually expressed a certain degree of distrust in Dong'anjun's affairs.
That's as it should be.
But as Dong'anjun's advisor, he felt that it was a little difficult to carry out the things in the future.
When Fan Zeng was young, he liked to make some tricks, and he didn't like to take the ordinary road, and the person he admired the most was Zhang Zi back then.
Zhang Yi was able to rely on his own resourcefulness and his incorruptible tongue to make Great Qin invincible, and he felt that he should be able to do the same.
It's just that reality makes him tired.
Fan Zeng pressed his forehead: "How should this matter continue?" ”
Dong Anjun doesn't want to rebel, and he doesn't want to go that far, but if things really can't be helped, then he can only go that way.
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
Now the situation is very clear and clear, and Fan Zeng feels that what he has to do is to make up his mind for Dong'anjun.
Perhaps, they need some additional support.
Thinking like this, Fan Zeng walked in another direction.
..........
And at this time, the Manufacturing Agency.
Even though it was stormy and cruel outside, the manufacturing agency was still in such a scene and orderly.
Since Chen Ke established the Manufacturing Department, the Manufacturing Department has become a special yamen.
In practice, this yamen has constantly divided into its own departments, and according to experience, it has also begun to exert different forces.
When Chen Ke saw the Manufacturing Department again, he actually felt that the Manufacturing Department at this time did not look like the Manufacturing Department.
It's like a combination of the Academy of Sciences and several other institutions.
Of course, this was normal in the early days of the reform of the law, because Daqin did not have so much production capacity and manpower, so it was impossible to directly achieve the kind of clean and clear division of institutions in later generations.
It's normal for a lot of parts to have duplicate functions, or for a lot of departments to be under the jurisdiction of something that should be under the jurisdiction of several departments.
Over time, these institutions will gradually become more and more clearly divided.
Li Si followed behind Chen Ke, and Chen Ke followed behind Chen Ping of the Manufacturing Department, and now Chen Ping has been promoted to the deputy director of the Manufacturing Department, and he is already second only to Jiuqing in terms of rank.
But Chen Ping was still like a small official in front of Li Si and Chen Ke.
He knows his identity, and he knows why he has the identity he has now, and what kind of status he has.
"Prime Minister Li Cheng, Chen Fengchang, you come with me."
Chen Ping smiled and took Li Si and Chen Ke and kept walking forward, with a calm look on his face.
Chen Ke raised his eyebrows, and there was curiosity in his voice: "There are so many divisions in the current manufacturing department?" That's pretty good. ”
Chen Ping respectfully returned: "Fengchang, the current manufacturing department is divided into a lot, and it is also divided into different places according to different functions. ”
"The main thing is that those people are very arrogant one by one, sometimes they feel that each other's ideas are wrong, and sometimes they feel that each other's things collide with their own things."
"So after playing Your Majesty, it was decided to expand the manufacturing department and then divide it into different areas."
Chen Ke blinked: "According to what?" ”
Li Si opened his mouth at this time: "I know this very well, it is divided according to the area of the five elements of yin and yang and the eight trigrams of the two yi. ”
"Those who are engaged in research more or less feel that their research is related to the Five Elements, so they choose an area for each."
Li Si said with emotion: "When I was last year, in order to expand this manufacturing department, I wasted a lot of effort. ”
He pursed his lips: "Originally, I wanted to leave a large area and divide an administrative region with Penglaizhou. ”
"But after this matter came out, His Majesty said that if you are still in the imperial court, you must feel that you should focus on these studies, so you emphasized the expansion of the manufacturing department first."
Li Si's voice carried some resentment and complaints, and Chen Ke certainly heard these emotions.
So Dan smiled and didn't say a word.
Seeing that Chen Ke didn't react, Li Si smiled a little wryly.
In fact, there is no other meaning, just complain and complain, and then let Chen Ke quickly find a way.
As he was walking, Chen Ke suddenly said, "Brother Li, do you know what I took you to see this time?" ”
What's the Thing?
Li Si shook his head slightly: "I just heard you say that it is called something called "cement", is this thing still very useful?" ”
Chen Ke just smiled and looked at Chen Ping, who was walking aside, bowing his head and not speaking, pretending that he didn't exist.
"Chen Ping, you are the deputy director of this manufacturing agency, if you want to take a step forward, do you know what to do?"
Chen Ping nodded immediately, he actually knew his own shortcomings in his heart, and he also knew that Chen Ke was pointing him out now.
"Xia Guan has a little guess in his heart."
"The Manufacturing Agency is a very important department, and when you were still in the Shaofu, you used to be the director here."
"Xia Guan feels that if you want to be the director here, you must first understand what those people in the manufacturing department are studying, or not called understanding, but understanding."
"If you don't even understand these things, how can you manage such a large manufacturing agency?"
Chen Ke smiled and nodded, he looked at Chen Ping, as if he was explaining to Chen Ping: "You're right, the Management and Manufacturing Department must be able to know what people here are studying." ”
"If you don't know how they make things, which is the rules, then you have to do something else."
"Master what they make."
"Only in this way can we better serve these people."
Chen Ke's voice seemed to be filled with emotion, and he said meaningfully: "In fact, the director of the Manufacturing Agency is not an official position. ”
"To me, it's more of a 'steward' position."
"You're going to give the people here the help you can, help them deal with things they're not good at."
"For example, political things, such as money things."
"You're not a leader, you're a servant."
Chen Ke's voice was a little low.
He doesn't like some people, obviously some professional industries, but he finds some laymen to guide those insiders.
Some people will only talk about politics and splendid articles, but they have not practiced it at all, so they will not make some policies that benefit these industries at all.
This is the most hated thing for Chen Ke, there is no one.
Therefore, he decided to set up rules at the very beginning and tell all the officials and upper echelons of special industries.
"They are not leaders, but servants."
If you are not satisfied, then do not climb to this position.
