Chapter 342: Governing Su Nei Shi Fu Decree, Xu Feng
Wang Ben's words made Yingcheng stunned.
Soldier Leader!
Wang Ben wanted to give up the leader of the military family to Yang Duanhe, and he did not intend to fight.
This took him by surprise.
Wang Ben did not show a half-humble attitude these days, but instead took the facts and shouldered the responsibility of the Son of Heaven, trying to educate him.
This is not a good sign, the Son of Heaven is just a name, but if he really acts in the name of the Son of Heaven, then his authority will be greater.
And this.
also made him think that Wang Ben did have the position of the leader of the military family.
Although the imperial court did not set up such positions as leaders, including Confucian leaders, peasant leaders, etc., the leaders of the imperial court were not recognized by the imperial court and were not given power.
but
To know.
Leader of the Soldier is not as simple as a title.
Once in that position.
It will naturally make a group of people obey from the heart, and from then on, become the supreme leader of a group of like-minded people with common beliefs, whose words and deeds will become an example, and there will be a group of firm followers.
Although the number of soldiers is not as large as that of Confucianism and peasants, they occupy an extremely important position in the world.
Even the imperial power could not interfere in the internal decision-making of the soldiers.
It's like he can't appoint the leader of the Legalist family, the leader of the peasant family, by order of the imperial court.
It can only be the leader of the Legalist family, and the peasant leader wants to be loyal to him and the Qin State, and then he promotes these leaders to achieve a mutually beneficial situation.
It can be said that the leader is similar to the imperial power, the patriarch and other positions that can decide the life and death of people.
Wang Ben said that he would give up if he gave up, and he was not surprised.
Once Wang Ben decides to give up the leader of the military family, then next, the core of the Great Qin military will be transferred from the Wang family to the Yang family, and the only thing that the Wang family can rely on is the prestige of Shuanghou and the prestige of his relatives, and the status of the Wang family will also decline.
"I also hope that Your Majesty will make a decision as soon as possible, and if it is late, there will be changes, and the commander of the Eastern Guard Capital will be empty for one more day, and there will be more possibilities for a crisis."
"Hedong, Nanyang, and Sacheon have been affected by the war, and if Jibei is affected again, I am afraid that this year's harvest will decline sharply, and the impact cannot be sloppy."
Wang Ben couldn't help but admonish.
It's not that he doesn't understand politics, it's just that many times he doesn't want to participate even if he understands it.
But nowadays.
The position of commander of the eastern capital is vacant, and the situation in the thirteen counties of the eastern guard is unstable, and once there is turmoil, it will be a fatal blow to the new dynasty at this time.
Yingcheng was also hesitant at this time, and even said that he was making a choice.
He really wanted to weaken Wang Ben's power, especially Wang Ben's influence in the army, but not now, and his current position still needs Wang Ben to maintain.
After all.
Wang is now the only relative he can trust.
The rest of the people in the hall were also quiet and did not spit out half a word.
Including Li Si, Feng Quji, and Meng Yi, they didn't mean to participate.
They are all human spirits, and they understand better than anyone else.
If this thing is not good, it will lead to fire.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, if it is known by the disciples of the military family who support Wang Ben, they think that they influenced the decision-making of the second emperor, causing Wang Ben to be forced to give up the battle for the leadership of the military family, so he pointed the finger at them, that is, to make enemies for himself.
Long.
After Yingcheng's difficult choice, he finally said, "I'm right!"
"Spread my will, the Son of Heaven, the protector of the country Wang Ben, step down from the post of commander of the western defense capital, and then set off to the Linjin defense line, take over the position of Yang Duan and the commander of the central defense capital, and take over Yang Duan and pacify the Xiongnu rebellion."
"Ling Yang Duanhe, when he received the order, he stepped down as the commander of the central guard, and immediately left for Handan, took over the post of commander of the eastern guard, and guarded the thirteen counties of the east."
"Passing on my will, General Poyan Xin Sheng has made meritorious contributions to quelling the chaos, and has been promoted to the commander of the Western Guard, and he has received the order
Leave for Longxi immediately."
Hear the words.
Wang Ben also seemed to be suddenly relieved, knelt down and said, "The last general obeys the order, and immediately prepares to leave, go to Xiayang, and take over the Linjin defense line."
And Li Si on the side, Feng Qujian and a few people, although they were full of doubts, quickly said, "Your Majesty's holy order!"
Several people were puzzled by Wang Ben's actions, and they were figuring out what Wang Ben meant.
"The government decree of the history of Su Nei, the second position of the servant order, can the princes have a suitable candidate?"
But it is Yingcheng, and it has not stopped, and today's deliberations are mainly to deal with the mess that happened when the first emperor was buried.
The Imperial Servant Order is an extremely important position, and it is not allowed to be disposed of rashly.
"Your Majesty, the government decree of the Su Nei Shi Mansion, the old minister has a recommendation." At this time, Feng Quji was no longer humble, and said very neatly: "Dongfang Dao Patrol Envoy, Xu Feng!"
"Xu Feng, born in the Xu clan of Nanyang, in the fifty-first year of King Zhaoxiang, Chu Yan attacked Qin, Qin attacked Zhou and broke the alliance, captured King Zhou and returned to Xianyang, and at the same time brought 100,000 households into the customs, among them, there are Nanyang Xu clan, Sanchuan Zhang clan and other major clans."
"And Nanyang Xu's family, originally a nobleman of the Lu State, lived in the area of Sichuan in Dangjun County, after the Chu State destroyed Lu, the Xu family returned to Chu, and King Kaoli was afraid of the Xu family, so he demolished the Xu family, and Lu Xu was divided into three, Lu Xu, Chu Xu, Nanyang Xu, so far, Nanyang Xu is called Lu Xu."
"Among them, after King Chu Kaoli destroyed Lu, the leader of the Lu Xuzhong peasant family, Xu Fang, the patriarch of the Lu Xu clan, was moved to Nanyang because of the old Lu Qinggong, and Xu moved to Juyang at the beginning of Chu Zun, and Xu Zhen led his own line to live in this Lu land."
"Among them, as soon as the Nanyang Xu clan migrated to Nanyang, they were attacked by the Zhaoxiang King who broke the Chu State and attacked Nanyang, Xu Fang surrendered to Qin, and brought the Nanyang Xu clan into the customs as the Qin people, and Xu Fang was also entrusted by the Zhaoxiang King with the important task of governing the Dan land."
"And this Xu Feng is the eldest son of Xu Fangyan, in the second year of the first emperor, he was recommended by Xu Fang to serve as a historian in Sunei, and was appreciated by LΓΌ Buwei as the county governor of Bazhong County, and he was properly governed in Bazhong, and he was also appointed as the county commander of Peiguan County and the county of Hanzhong."
"After the first emperor took charge of the Qin State, he promoted Xu Feng to the county guard of Hanzhong County, and after the first emperor pacified Jibei, he transferred Xu Feng to Jibei to govern Jibei County, and in the twenty-eighth year of the first emperor, Xu Feng was transferred back to the capital before he was appointed to the throne, and until August, he was appointed as the patrol envoy of the Eastern Road."
Feng Quji said, paused slightly and continued: "Your Majesty, the old minister has been thinking about it for a long time, and Xu Feng is the best candidate to govern the order of the Su Nei Shi Mansion."
Yingcheng did not allow it directly, but looked at Li Si, Meng Yi, Yingtian, and even Wang Ben with a search.
Wang Ben didn't seem to like him at all.
Meng Yi lowered his head.
And Li Si looked at Feng Quji, as if he was about to say something, but he stopped thinking and said, "Feng Gong is also righteous and fair this time."
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this Xu Feng is also suitable!"
Li Si seemed to think why he didn't object, and added, "Your Majesty doesn't know that this Xu Feng is after Xu Xing, the leader of Lu Nong."
"If you want to go far, Xu Xing's creation of agriculture is Teng Nong's learning, which was used in some places in Teng and Song Kingdom, but it has never been used as a national study.
"And this is slightly different from what Feng Gong learned from Qi Nong, who was influenced by the Confucian "gentleman is far away from cooking", and the main "persuasion of agriculture and mulberry to have enough food and clothing", and its fundamental learning lies in "learning from the sage who has achieved success in agriculture and persuading the people to engage in agriculture and mulberry to benefit food and clothing." γ
"The fundamental lesson of Xu Xing's advocacy of "the sage and the people plough and eat together" lies in the fact that "the sage who has learned from agriculture leads the people to engage in farming, planting millet first and then eating, and the people compete to follow it," especially against those who eat without work."
"And this, there is also the famous Meng-Chen dispute, Mencius *** Yu Teng, and Xu Xing's disciple Chen Xiang, launched the famous distinction between agriculture and Confucianism, naturally, with the destruction of the Lu State, Lu Nong naturally could not fight against Qi Nong."
"And Lunong, although he has some strengths, but his opposition to eating without work is too paranoid, from the king to the people, they have to work first and then eat, so naturally they will not be adopted by the king."
"The agronomy used by my Qin State today is also from Qi Nong's study to persuade the people to engage in farming, not Lu Nong
The learned sages plough and eat with the people."
"Despite this, Lu Nong's learning has not been broken, which is inherited by the Nanyang Xu family and the Dongjun Chen family, although the Nanyang Xu family's status in agriculture is not as good as that of Qi Nong, but it also has a lot of influence, and there are many supporters among the farmers."
"Among them, Xu Feng has a vital role, where he has been governed, he must do one thing first, set an example, select ten acres of fertile land, convene the people under his governance to watch his cultivation, and hoe weeds, repair canals, repel insects, and call the people to follow the harvest when they are harvested, and when the people see the abundance of the grain they have harvested, they will be convinced and compete with it."
"Jibei County can become one of the granaries of my Great Qin in a very short period of time, Xu Feng has made great contributions, although his learning cannot become the orthodoxy of agriculture, but taking its essence is also a good strategy for governing the land."
Saying that, Li Si did not shy away from Feng Quji's smile and said, "And this will inevitably involve the dispute over the orthodoxy of agriculture."
At this point, Li Si didn't go any further.
Everyone who understands understands, and he is also to avoid the suspicion of the second emperor, and explain the reason clearly, as for the result, he believes that the second emperor is by no means a stupid king.
Yingcheng pondered slightly, without any hesitation, and said directly: "Summoning the Eastern Dao to patrol the road and make Xu Feng enter the capital."
Li Si almost said that he was enlightened, and he naturally had nothing to consider.
This Xu Feng, to be precise, is Feng Quji's enemy above the court, and he is also the enemy of life and death.
Feng Quji now controls the peasant family with Qi Nong's idea of governing the country, while Xu Feng controls the peasant family with Lu Nong as the concept of governing the country.
Whether it is Qi Nong or Lu Nong, they are both factions of the peasant family, like the eight schools of Confucianism, but they are different in the concept of governing the country.
Unless, like Chun Yu Yue, the Qin state only appointed the Confucians of the Sun clan and gave Chun Yu Yue the maximum power to annex other Confucian factions, so that a unified Confucianism could be formed.
The reason why this is so is because the Qin court unanimously agreed that Confucianism is useless except for the Confucianism of the Sun family.
Regardless of the correctness of the claims of other factions, it only depends on the degree of compatibility with the Qin state.
However.
The problem of the peasant family is precisely because the study of Qi agriculture is the mainstream of agriculture, which is the art of the people, and the sage persuades the farmers, but the sage has to command the people to cultivate, which is the power after becoming an official.
Although Lu Nong's study cannot become the mainstream of agriculture, it is also recognized by the Qin State, and its fundamental reason lies in the fact that Lu Nong's proposition can become a policy for governing the country.
As a result, people like Xu Feng have become pivotal figures step by step.
Even Qi Nong will follow suit.
Among them, there is a dispute over orthodoxy.
Even if Xu Feng was a road patrol envoy, it would only affect the route of the Eastern Road, but once Xu Feng became the governor of the Su Inner Historical Mansion, its influence would spread all over the Qin State.
Feng Quji's recommendation of Xu Feng was undoubtedly to make enemies for himself in the court, and also to establish a strong enemy for Qi Nong.
As for why Feng Quji did this, this is a question worth pondering.
Through Feng Quji's actions, he was able to see Wang Ben's actions more clearly.
There is no one who can mix in the position of being above ten thousand people under one person, and none of them is a person with a developed mind.
Feng Qujian is protecting himself, or protecting Qi Nong.
He is delegating power, but Feng Quji is decentralizing power.
Although there are different schools of farming, because of the trust of the first emperor in recent years, the status of Qi Nong's learning in the Qin State has been unshakable, and more importantly, the sages of Qi Nong's learning are all over the world.
The First Emperor had enough mind to accommodate Feng Quji and Qi Nong, but he may not have enough mind to tolerate an unshakable Qi Nong's learning.
And Feng Quji, foreseeing this, took the initiative to split the agronomy before he suppressed Qi Nongzhixue, so as to reduce the loss.
Equally.
Wang Ben's current power is too great, and in the face of this irreplaceable power, Wang Ben chose to take the initiative to give up the powerful position that he could fight.
This is the choice of the wise, not to be carried away by power.
And he can also get through this transition period of imperial power with more confidence.
The candidate of the Zhisu Nai Shifu has been selected, and the next step is to agree on the position of the servant.
Although the Imperial Servant Order is only in charge of the royal chariots and horses, it is also an extremely important Jiuqing Mansion.
Its functions and powers are inextricably linked with the royal family, and it is a royal property directly related to the Jiuqing Mansion in the court.
There was not much controversy about the selection of the candidate for the Tai Servant Order, and several people recommended it, and then he weighed it.
Soon, the servant's order was finalized.
And other than that.
The Weiwei Mansion also needs to select generals, and this, the Three Princes and the Nine Secretaries can't control it, the Weiwei Mansion is like his private soldiers, and he can dispose of it at will.
Soon.
An internal and Korean discussion ended.
Wang Ben set off for Xiayang, but left the Tiger Ben camp in Xianyang, and the commander Yang Feng led the army to garrison the Soohe Plain.
Among them, the lieutenants each have their own duties.
The edicts sent to Wuguan, Xiayang, and Dongfang Dao also left Xianyang, and transferred Xinsheng to Longxi, Yang Duanhe to Handan, and Xu Feng to return to the capital.
And now.
For Qin, it may face a greater test.
Following.
Yingcheng once again summoned the three princes and nine kings to participate in the deliberations of the Inner Dynasty.
And this time there is only one thing that has been agreed upon.
Issuance of grain bonds!
The issuance of grain bonds with the reputation accumulated by the Qin State over the years would be the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Qin State if it made a mistake.
In the past three months, Qin's frequent use of military forces and the frequent movement of millions of troops have led to an exponential increase in food consumption.
Now there are three large mouths of blood waiting for the Treasury to feed, and they can't stop for a moment.
The Great Wall Army, the Southern Expeditionary Army, and the Linjin Defense Line.
At this rate, before July, the grain and grass of the imperial court will be in an emergency.
The solution to this decision in February must be launched, and now the specific process matters must be finalized, the specific time for the promulgation of the decree, and the government will wait until Xu Feng returns to the capital to preside over the overall situation.
