"What's the hurry? Frizzy. Meng Yuan unhurriedly pulled the fishing rod, and the fish ran away.

"Teacher, you're not in a hurry. But now she has attacked my Bai family! Bai Jiayi said anxiously, "I heard that she has asked people to investigate the matter of Old Lady Bai becoming an evil worshipper. ”

At the mention of this, Meng Yuan snorted coldly: "Demon magic and evil arts, the Seven Kingdoms will not tolerate it!" You're embarrassed to say this! ”

Bai Jiayi hurriedly shook the pot and said, "The students don't know either!" Although the old lady Bai is nominally my elder, there is no contact between us, who knows that he will become an evil cult after he is buried? Someone must have framed it! ”

"If you do something wrong, you have to admit punishment, and the king will punish you, and it is all right to be in love with the law." Meng Yuan still looked like he didn't care about himself.

"Yes, yes, the student should be punished." Bai Jiayi responded with his mouth, but he slandered in his heart: "The old immortal is still pretending to be here, and the Meng family is the biggest force in the old clan." The Yingyi people want to deal with the old clan, and sooner or later they will deal with you. Do you blame me for the evil art of the Bai family? You may not have used this old thing, I saw you twenty years ago, you just looked like you were half cut into the ground, but you survived two monarchs, and now you are still alive and well, I heard that you can still count women at night, if you want to say that there is no name, ghosts don't believe it! ”

Seeing Bai Jiayi admit his mistake, Meng Yuan said: "There are some things that should not be rushed. When the new monarch ascends the throne, she naturally wants to show her authority, and we just look at it. ”

"But—" he said, as his voice changed, "and we cannot compromise on key issues. ”

"What does the teacher mean? What is the matter of national policy? Xi Qiming asked.

After each county lord takes office, he will "set a national policy" for some time. That is, to formulate the strategic direction for the next national development, this decision is an important thing that determines the direction of the fate of the entire country.

Originally, according to tradition, the Yingyi people should set national policies after taking office, and under normal circumstances, they follow the ancestral system.

But the Yingyi people dragged it on for so long on the grounds that state affairs were complicated.

Bai Jiayi said: "Yingyi people appoint Zhang Beichen, I'm afraid they don't want to follow the ancestral system!" Attempt to change the law! ”

"Jun Shang is young, and it is understandable that he wants to change." Meng Yuan said, "But we, the old ministers, have to take care of the king." You can't let the king listen to the villain's slander and mislead the state affairs! ”

"After all, she is the monarch, and I am afraid it is inappropriate for us to directly oppose her." Xi Qiming's mind moved, and he said: "Not long ago, the king issued a recruitment order, and many scholars came to the Qin State to offer advice to the Qin State. They will also be involved in the formulation of national policies. Why don't we win them over and let them come forward, and the king can't say anything! ”

Meng Yuan nodded slightly and said, "You have made some progress." ”

"If we can win Zhang Beichen to our side, then the matter will be nine out of ten!" Xi Qiming said.

"Zhang Beichen, he killed the people of my Bai family!" Bai Jia and B were a little angry.

"Brother White!" Xi Qiming comforted: "I can understand you, but in the face of big things, don't worry about this." ”

"You and I have to think about the family!"

……

Zhang Beichen stayed in Baiyang County for more than ten days to deal with the affairs of the county.

Labor management, field division, population registration, water conservancy projects, etc., he let people implement them one by one, so that things in Baiyang County will become orderly, with the "Reclamation Order", even if Zhang Beichen leaves, the successor can easily manage here.

After doing this, he packed his bags and went to Liyang, the capital of Qin.

Before leaving, Yingyi asked Che Yang to give Zhang Beichen a BMW with the blood of a demon beast, but he could travel thousands of miles a day, and Zhang Beichen rushed to Liyang within a day.

At this time, Liyang City was much cleaner and more orderly than he had seen more than a month ago, and he heard that the Yingyi people had ordered people to manage the displaced people and dispersed them to various counties for resettlement.

Zhang Beichen was about to go to the Qin Palace to meet him, but was stopped on the street.

"May I ask if Mr. is the county magistrate of Baiyang County, Lord Zhang Beichen?" He was stopped by a man dressed as a servant.

"Exactly, what's the matter with you?" Zhang Beichen asked.

The servant said, "My lord wants to invite you to the mansion as a guest, and please don't refuse." ”

"Who are your lords?" Zhang Beichen wondered in his heart, how long has he been in Liyang City, and this person knows the news? It seems that the energy is not small.

"My family is the Qin State Doctor Xi Qiming." The officer said.

West Begging? Zhang Beichen naturally knew who he was, the current family of the Xi family. His ancestors once followed the first monarch of the Qin State to fight the world, and his military achievements have been passed down to this day.

This is the backbone of the old clan, and he came to invite himself at this time, either to warn him or to win him over.

"I'm sorry, I'm tired and need a break." Zhang Beichen directly refused.

"Lord Zhang really doesn't think about it?"

"Not considered."

"Okay." The servant said, "Then my lord has another word for him." When it comes to determining the national policy, I hope that Lord Zhang will think about it carefully, and those who have changed the law since ancient times will not die well nine times out of ten! ”

……

Zhang Beichen stayed in the capital for a few days, and he stayed in the Zhaoxian Hall for the past few days. This used to be a mansion under the name of the King of Qin, and the Yingyi people paid out of their own pockets, paid money and land, and hyped it up, attracting some scholars who traveled to Qin to come to the Qin State.

"Brother Zhang, the national policy will be decided soon! Is Brother Zhang ready? In the Zhaoxian Pavilion, a man with dark skin but elegant temperament asked.

He is Jing Ping, a close confidant of the Yingyi people, in the earlier simulation, Zhang Beichen took refuge in him and became his protégé.

"Almost." Zhang Beichen is very confident, he has simulated memories and knowledge of his previous life, so he should be fine.

"Brother Zhang still has to be careful." Jingping reminded, "The old clans will definitely not approve of the change. I've heard that many of the scholars from the Zhaoxian Pavilion have been in contact with them in recent days. ”

"These people have studied under hundreds of schools, and there is no shortage of powerful people. Now that the monarch wants to reuse you, you will naturally become a thorn in the side of their superiors, and they are afraid that they will attack you! ”

"Thanks for the reminder." Zhang Beichen nodded, in fact, he had already felt the hostility of the scholars around him in the past few days living in the Zhaoxian Pavilion.

……

Zhang Beichen stayed for a few more days, and finally came to the day when Qin decided on the national policy.

On this day, the courtiers of the Qin State and the scholars of the Zhaoxian Pavilion all went to the palace to participate in the court meeting of the national policy.

The Yingyi people bathed in incense, put on the black and red robes of the King of Qin, and first went to the temple to worship the ancestors according to the rules, and then went to the court.

In the main hall of the palace, the Yingyi people sit on the golden and jade throne, with a cold jade face, overlooking the ministers.

Her gaze swept among the ministers until she saw Zhang Beichen standing below, her eyes lingering for a few seconds.

The people of Yingyi know that today's national policy is destined to be not peaceful. She has asked Jingping to convey the meaning to Zhang Beichen that she wants to set the national policy of changing the law and strengthening the country.

At this point, she alone is not enough, Zhang Beichen has to contribute.

Meng Yuan, who had gray hair and beard, read in an old voice: "The new monarch is in power, and he should set a national policy to govern the country." Your Majesty, please sacrifice the Xuanniao! ”

Yingyi stood up and pulled out her sword, the blade of which gently slashed across her palm, blood falling on the sword, and the blade made a clanging sound!

Immediately afterwards, I saw a mysterious bird phantom flying from afar, hovering in the center of the main hall, which was the symbol of the national fortune of the Qin State, the totem Xuanniao.

Zhang Beichen looked at Xuanniao, he had already learned the process of determining the national policy from Jing Ping's mouth.

First, everyone discussed, and after formulating the national policy, they identified the monarch and the Xuanniao, and if the national policy could enhance the national fortune, heaven and earth would give birth to a vision, descend auspiciousness, and enhance the national fortune of the Qin State.

If not, there would be no vision. However, it is very difficult to strengthen the country with national policies, and in most cases, in order not to change, the new monarch will inherit the previous national policy, so that although there are no surprises, there will be no big mistakes.

As soon as Xuanniao came out, Yingyi said to the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about the national policy of Qin? ”

The ministers ignored it, and Xi Qiming immediately said: "The ministers believe that the tradition of the Qin State should be inherited and the military rule should be inherited. ”

Military rule is the tradition of the previous Qin State, strengthening the army and strengthening the country, relying on the conquest of a strong country.

"Doctor Xi is right, the country should be ruled by the military!" The generals agreed, and the old clans even more so.

The Yingyi people looked at them with a sullen heart. These people in front of them are all vested interests in the old system of the Qin State, and they are naturally unwilling to change the law.

But the Yingyi people knew very well that the Qin State was reckless and weakened year by year. Her sovereign father even lost one-third of the territory of the Qin State, and if this continues, the Qin State is afraid that the country will be destroyed!

The Yingyi people said: "The widow thinks that the old system is not advisable. The Qin State is in decline, and if it inherits the old system, it will be in danger of destroying the country! ”

Seeing that the monarch opposed their proposal, the courtiers did not speak, but looked at Meng Yuan one after another.

Meng Yuan coughed twice, and then said, "Your Excellency is serious. Since the beginning of the Qin state, we have ruled the country with the military, and all the successive Qin kings have been like this! The ancestors taught the old ministers many times that the ancestral system cannot be violated! ”

"This Meng Yuan, use the ancestral system to suppress me!" Ying Yi secretly scolded in her heart, if it was before, she really couldn't find any reason to reply.

But after several simulations, the Yingyi people are also full of experience.

She asked Meng Yuan rhetorically: "Prime Minister Meng, you said that the ancestral system cannot be violated. So whose ancestral system are we to emulate? Is it the ancestral system of the ancestors, or the ancestral system of the widowed grandfather? Or the ancestral system of the founding monarchs? As far as the widow knows, although their national policies are all military rule, they are different! ”

Meng Yuan naturally wouldn't be overwhelmed by a word, he said: "Of course, it's the national policy of the ancestors!" ”

"The national policy of the ancestors?" Yingyi asked: "You have all followed the widow's monarch father and implemented the national policy of the ancestors, has the Qin State become stronger or weaker?" ”

"This ......" Everyone was embarrassed, everyone knew that the Qin State had become weaker.

The Yingyi people took advantage of the victory to pursue and said: "The Qin State has become weaker, is it because you are not effective in implementing the national policy?" Or is there something wrong with the national focus? ”

The ministers were dumbfounded again, they naturally couldn't admit that they were not effective in implementing the national policy, but they could admit that there was a problem with the national policy, didn't that give the Yingyi people an excuse to change the law?
