Chapter 155: The Prime Minister of a Country, a Lackey for Others

Those who have won the hearts of the people since ancient times have won the world.

This sentence can be said in the Han Dynasty, but in the Qin Dynasty, it doesn't work, it doesn't make sense.

Deeply influenced by the legacy of the Warring States Period, the Qin Dynasty had different views on the word "people" than later generations.

Because the Qin Dynasty did not win the world by winning the hearts and minds of the people, but was domineering.

The Warring States suffered two million casualties, and Bai Qi killed half of them.

Vertical and horizontal Zhang Yi deceived the world, Wang Jian and Wang Ben annihilated the Six Kingdoms.

There is not a single word "people" in this from beginning to end.

Therefore, the mainstream thought of the Qin Dynasty was:

The people are not the key to taking the world, but the coolies who maintain the luxurious life of the monarch and aristocracy.

To this day, except for the Guanzhong, the people of the world still do not regard themselves as Qin people.

Qin has no people's heart, but he has the world.

In this current situation, who can say that the will of the people is very important?

Although Mencius shouted the slogan "the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light" early on, this sentence was not widely recognized.

In addition to the traditional protégés of Confucianism, all the sons of a hundred schools of thought should regard this sentence as the absurd words of Confucian Mencius.

It's like the Taoist Zhuangzi who dreamed of butterflies and woke up and couldn't tell whether it was a dream butterfly or a butterfly dream.

Which one doesn't have one or two famous madmen?

When the ministers did not express their opinions on Li Si's strategy, Ying Chengcheng pointed out that the word "people's heart" is okay, this is an opinion.

However, under the circumstance that all the ministers agree with Li Si's strategy, it is meaningless and untenable to talk about the will of the people.

The will of the people is far from being able to maintain stability in various localities, and this is a public opinion.

Ying Chengcheng wants to break the public opinion, this is very difficult, it is as difficult as the sky, he can't use examples to tell the ministers the importance of the people.

The people-oriented and Confucian-governed Lu State has long been destroyed, and the current Qin State is a country governed by law.

Without giving examples to talk about theories, this is still useful for that group of Confucian scholars, but not in the court of the Qin State.

The old Qin people don't rap, and the theory has a fart.

When Zhang Yi first entered Qin, the civil and military forces of the Qin State were all cold-eyed, how to look at it and how it was not pleasing to the eye - how could this person who could only play tricks be a prime minister, and the king was dumbfounded.

When Zhang Yi used Qin Qi to break through the five countries, all the people in the Qin State had to call out for each other with joy and convincing.

Qin Guo is a doer, pragmatic, and does not play false.

In the current situation, except for the First Emperor, who can suppress the heads of the ministers to convince people, basically no one can break it, and there is no second First Emperor in this world.

If you want to convince people with reason, you can't invite the vertical and horizontal marquis back, and you can't do it.

Zhang Taidian Ying Cheng Cheng and the First Emperor discussed the Tao and had a deep understanding of the limitations of the times, and he alone could not change it.

There is no force to suppress the ministers.

There is no reason to explain the ministers.

If you want to break the game, normal people can't do it.

But Ying Cheng can, he is a shaft.

Bang dang~

The table in front of him rotated, jumped, flew straight into the air, and then landed freely and slammed into the floor tiles.

One of the four table legs knocked off and staggered to the ground.

In the Xianyang Palace, this is already the first time that Ying Chengcheng has overturned the table.

"There's no reason, it's just not how!"

The ministers who were waiting for Ying Chengcheng to give their unique insights were stunned.

This performance, isn't this still the shaft, what is this called!

The First Emperor glanced at Ying Chengcheng and yawned.

"I'm tired, retreat."

The ministers were confused.

Your Majesty is retiring from the court?

None of the policies have been implemented at today's court?

If it weren't for the persecution of the Queen Mother, His Majesty would have set the position of the crown prince, and there would be no point in holding today's court meeting.

The two policies proposed by Li Si to collect copper and iron and move the nobles were obviously discussed by His Majesty at a small meeting.

The situation is very good, why is it suddenly not implemented.

The inquiring gaze of the ministers shifted to Ying Chengzhi in the front row.

Could it be, is it because Chang'anjun opposes it......

With the departure of the First Emperor, everyone left the scene in turn.

Out of the Xianyang Palace, the four Qin ministers in the court walked towards Yingcheng with a smile on their faces, and shouted ten meters away:

"Today, the four of me have a small gathering in the house, there is a beautiful concubine at the table, and there is a fine wine in the case, and Chang'an Jun wants to ...... Hey Chang Anjun! ”

The four of them had not walked three meters, and Ying Cheng was walking fast on tiptoe, and he had already walked thirty meters.

Ying Cheng disappeared in the direction of the disappearance, contrary to everyone.

The four of them stopped, and the leader looked at the back of Ying Cheng.

"See you again another day."

The other three also looked at Yingcheng's back and nodded.

"Chang'an Jun's martial arts are not inferior to my generals."

"Regardless of the side, there are few people in my Qin State who can achieve it."

"Such Chang'anjun, the harem is allowed to be unimpeded, and His Majesty trusts it here...... I went to Chang'an Jun's Mansion to pay respects. ”

The leader muttered for a moment.

"I'll go myself."

While the four of them were discussing, many of the other Qin ministers also paid attention to Ying Chengcheng, and the pace of leaving in the past slowed down.

Ying Chengcheng is the emperor's younger brother, and his interests have no conflict with these Qin ministers.

In the past, it was the success of the erection, although what he did today is still the behavior of the erection.

But in the hearts of the ministers, this shaft is not the other shaft.

"Why doesn't Prime Minister Zuo continue to say that with the implementation of these two policies, there is no possibility of chaos in Daqin, it is a miracle."

A person walked to Li Si's side and walked side by side with Li Si, Li Si was a little surprised.

He is the prime minister of Great Qinzuo, and these days he has shown favor to him, talked to him, and invited him to come over countless people.

But the fact that the person in front of him could find him still made Li Si feel a little flattered.

The first military person of Great Qin, the national lieutenant, and the head of the generals who have never fought on the battlefield.

Lees stopped, half-turned.

"Your Majesty is poor, how can a courtier, force the lord to do what he doesn't want to do?"

"Zuo Xiang said this, can he be trusted?"

Li Si was silent.

"I watched all the monarchs look at Chang'anjun with their eyes, and their steps are slow. Only the left minister walked inconveniently, never looked back, and was unscrupulous in dealing with Chang'anjun, why didn't he say anything? ”

At this point, it is equivalent to picking out.

Wei Yu was fifty or sixty years old, and there was no roundabout in his words, and he went straight to the point.

Li Si rarely interacted with Wei Yi, and the two were not in the same department, not in the same category, and did not have much intersection.

This conversation with Wei Yu gave Li Si a preliminary understanding of what kind of person this national lieutenant who has always been a quiet national lieutenant is.

It can only be said that the protégé of a soldier who has not been on the battlefield is still a protégé of a soldier.

Hearing Wei Yi's words against Ying Chengcheng, Li Si leaned in front of Wei Yi with a rigid face, leaving all the respect he had for this military first person behind.

"Si is in a hurry, I want to go to Chang'an Jun's Mansion."

Wei Yi was surprised, squinting his eyes and looking deeply at Li Si, who seemed to have changed into a different person.

He didn't understand why Li Si wanted to defend Ying Chengcheng so much.

You Li Si is the most favored minister in front of His Majesty, and he is also talented, and he is also in the position of prime minister.

"The prime minister of a country, a lackey for others, if His Majesty learns about it, he will not be displeased."

"I heard that once upon a time, there was a country where the country's biggest general, Yu Guo, did not have any martial arts, but he has always sat firmly in the position of general. Compared with this shameless general, what is my Li Si doing today? ”
