Chapter 111: The First Emperor personally taught Sun to deal with politics
In terms of inheritance, it is not really a non-family specialty.
Because Legalism emphasizes everything that serves the king's personal will, whoever the king says is naturally whoever he is.
But...... Li Si used to study under Xunzi, although he was a legalist, but he naturally learned some Confucian classics.
"Ram Gao seems to have said something about this?" Li Si frowned.
I'll have to flip through the book to see if I can quote it.
If what the ram says is similar to what he thinks, it is naturally excellent, if what the ram says is not the same thing as what he thinks, then he is a legalist, and he has prepared in advance, so he can be regarded as a fallacy to attack it.
It can also be regarded as a rainy day and prepared.
And on the other side, inside the palace.
Zhao Si also started a new experience of auxiliary government.
The first emperor is in the main position, Zhao Si is on the side, and the grandfather and grandson are about to face a pile of twists and turns from all over the world and the three princes and nine kings.
Everything in the world is paid on a blank piece of paper.
"Reading ......"
The First Emperor pointed to the fold on the case, and Zhao Si sensibly picked it up and read it word by word.
"Handan County Shou Xun Lin played, recently Handan has been in turmoil, there are rebellions in the entire Zhao country, has become a mess, the chaos of the party started in the countryside, in Handan County between the Yingchuan County, every time Handan County sends troops, they hide in Yingchuan County, every time Yingchuan County sends troops, they hide in Handan County, every time Yingchuan County sends troops, they hide in Handan County, in this case, do not dare to make decisions without authorization, so please Your Majesty ruling." Zhao Si opened his mouth and briefly looked at the fold and streamlined the content.
Nowadays, as it becomes more and more convenient to write, there are more and more nonsense words from officials, such as this letter from Handan County, which is just such a thing, but there are a lot of words in it that complain about the crime, and I am afraid that there are 2,000 words in the whole article.
Zhao Si had worked as a content screener for the First Emperor for a period of time because of this situation, and now he is back in his old business, which can be regarded as a mastery.
The First Emperor nodded, but he didn't approve it at the first time, but looked at Zhao Si and asked, "According to you, how should this situation be handled?" ”
Zhao Si was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the First Emperor to ask a question at this time.
According to the laws of the Qin state, military movements of more than 50 people must be personally approved by the First Emperor.
Of course, self-preservation certainly does not count, and there is still the autonomy of the county government to eliminate local rebel parties.
The problem reported by Handan County is actually a classic problem.
That is, officials cannot enforce the law across districts.
The chaotic party made full use of this point, and repeatedly jumped sideways in Handan County and Yingchuan County, so that the county guards in both places threw rat traps, so they were unable to eliminate the chaotic party for a long time, and they were afraid that the chaotic party would become bigger.
To put it bluntly, there are too many rules and regulations, and some restrictions are played by people below, in which case the top decision-makers are needed to intervene in the policy.
At the very least, you have to endorse their cross-border enforcement, or most officials would rather do nothing than make mistakes.
This was widespread, and in the last years of the dynasty, it was even more common.
The so-called family and country plans are not as good as being promoted and making a fortune, so it is difficult for friendly troops to move like a mountain, and things that seem incomprehensible to modern people are actually the norm in that era.
"Appropriate relaxation of restrictions? Unleash their initiative? Zhao Si tentatively asked?
"Initiative?" The First Emperor glanced at Zhao Si and was a little puzzled.
"It's about giving them more autonomy to act on the decisions they want to make." Zhao Si explained.
The First Emperor laughed when he heard this.
"This, Your Majesty...... Why is the eldest father laughing? Zhao Si asked.
"Fetch the map, come here......" the First Emperor waved his hand.
Hearing this, Zhao Si took Daqin's map and put it on the desk.
The First Emperor stretched out his hand and pointed to Handan County and Yingchuan County and said, "There is no dangerous and remote place between Handan County and Yingchuan County, what does it mean? ”
"Meaning...... As soon as the county soldiers arrived, it was almost impossible for the thieves to flow between the two places according to the geographical advantages, let alone hide and avoid the local county soldiers according to the geographical advantages? Although Zhao Si has not read the military book seriously, he still understands this basic truth, but he is not clear about the specific topography of the border between Handan and Yingchuan.
"What does the eldest father mean by the self-respect of the county guards of Handan County?" Zhao Si's heart slammed.
"This may not be, if nothing else, since the county guard of Handan County has been booked, then the county guard of Yingchuan County will naturally also be booked, after all, the thieves are flowing in Handan and Yingchuan, and they cannot be eliminated for a long time, and the county guard of Yingchuan County is naturally also responsible." The First Emperor smiled and spoke.
"That ......"
"Do you know who the county warden of Handan County and the county warden of Yingchuan County are?" The First Emperor asked.
The First Emperor asked this, of course Zhao Si didn't know.
He has always stayed by the side of the First Emperor, and he can still call out the names of the officials in this circle of Xianyang, the magistrates...... It is not recorded in the history books, most of Zhao Si is unknown, even if he knows the name, he doesn't know who it is, even if he stands in front of Zhao Si, I'm afraid Zhao Si won't be able to recognize it.
"Handan County Guard Xun Lin, from Anyi, later moved to Handan, after the destruction of Zhao, Xun Lin to the official as a teacher, for eight years, was promoted to Lang Guan, and then served in Xianyang, was sent to Handan as the county guard, supervising Handan.
And the county guard of Yingchuan County is named Meng Hui, from the Meng clan in Guanzhong, a descendant of the old clan, won the knighthood for military merits, was promoted to Langguan, watched politics for ten years, and was sent by me to Yingchuan as the county guard, he and Xun Lin were Lang officials at the same time, and the two often had conflicts when they were Lang officials. The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si and asked.
"Handan and Yingchuan are next to each other, and Meng Hui and Xun Lin have gaps, does Your Majesty plan to use them to balance each other?" Zhao Si tentatively asked.
"You go find out Meng Hui's twists." The First Emperor spoke.
Zhao Si rummaged through the folds when he heard the sound, and took out the folds of Yingchuan County.
"Look at ......," the First Emperor nodded.
Zhao Si looked at it when he heard it......
"Meng Hui is strong, easy to act impulsively, and caused a lot of things when he was a Lang official, so he doesn't need to see it to know, I'm afraid it's mostly for the impeachment of Xun Lin to raise his own respect, and not to do anything, yes or no?" Zhao Si looked at it, and the First Emperor spoke.
"The eldest father is really like watching the fire!" Zhao Si nodded when he heard this.
"Now, what do you think should be done?" The First Emperor asked.
"Send an order to urge Meng Hui and Xun Lin, thinking that they will be beaten, and there is no need to delegate power, if the thieves are not destroyed, they will be replaced, and Meng Hui and Xun Lin will be recalled to Xianyang for accountability." Zhao Si spoke calmly.
"Why?" The First Emperor nodded and asked.
"There is no dangerous and remote place between Yingchuan and Handan, so it is not the right time and place to prevent the chaos from being destroyed, the problem lies in the people.
If these two localities want to eradicate the chaotic party, there is absolutely no need or reason to delegate power.
As for whether it is someone who supports himself or because of the personal contradiction between the two county guards, now that it has been placed in front of His Majesty, there is absolutely no reason for His Majesty to act as a peacemaker for the dispute between the two people.
At this time of turmoil, in the face of this situation, there should never be the slightest hesitation, let alone betting on who is right and who is wrong. Zhao Si pondered for a moment and said.
"It's taboo to change commanders on the spot...... First Emperor said with a smile.
"It's a big taboo, but they don't dare to bet that Your Majesty will not hold them accountable, Your Majesty only needs to make this attitude enough.
Since Meng Hui is from the old clan, his roots are still in the Guannei.
As for Xun Lin, since he took the official as his teacher, he must have a relatively ordinary background, in this case, who of the two of them can take responsibility for such a major event? Zhao Si said.
The First Emperor nodded and smiled when he heard this: "One thing you said is wrong, Xun is from the surname Ji, the bloodline has a long history, after the three families were divided, although the surname Xun declined, but in the end the bloodline is still there, as for Xun Lin, although it has been thin to the point that only the officials as teachers can enter the school, but the threshold threshold ......
When he took the official as a teacher and was unknown, he was the threshold.
But he is the county guard of Handan, and when he is in charge of a county, he is the door......" the first emperor said faintly.
"What does Your Majesty mean is that it is possible for Xun Lin to collude with the local nobles to raise his own dignity in order to change things in the future?" Zhao Si opened his mouth in shock.
"This kind of thing should naturally be considered, but there is no obstacle to this matter, and since there is no obstacle, there is naturally no need to delve into it." The First Emperor nodded.
Zhao Si understood that the First Emperor was telling himself that he should use the worst conjecture to make the current guess.
But the First Emperor said that there was no obstacle, why was there no obstruction?
Zhao Si thought about it carefully and understood that collusion is nothing more than self-respect.
After the First Emperor issued an ultimatum, there were only two ways in front of Xun Lin.
Either jump back, or suppress the thief with peace of mind.
Will Xun Lin jump back? Most likely, no.
After all, Zhao State's biggest signboard son, Xie, that is, his cheap uncle, has been arrested, and the first place to be cleared by the army is the land of Yan Zhao......
Of course, this is just conjecture, and Xun Lin may not have colluded with local nobles.
The First Emperor was just teaching himself how to make judgments and make decisions in the face of this situation.
Wait a minute...... Why did the First Emperor teach himself these things?
Zhao Si was shocked in his heart......
Therefore, looking at the political affairs of a country, what the king knows is nothing more than a blank piece of paper and a few black characters, and the feelings of a place are all in it, and naturally it cannot be auspicious, so if you only make judgments and decisions from a piece of music, I am afraid that it is nine times out of ten.
If a king does not know the boundaries of his land, does not even know the topography of his own county, and does not know what kind of people his courtiers are, what kind of character they have, how can he make a correct judgment? The First Emperor spoke, as if he was emotional, and it seemed to be teaching.
And when it fell on Zhao Si's ears, it was like thunder.
This is the true art of kingship......
Wait a minute...... Wouldn't that be too much?
The First Emperor really showed himself the truth!
Zhao Si looked back a little and was surprised to find that the First Emperor simply put this one in front of him to teach himself.
The topography of Handan Yingchuan, and even the names, origins, relationships, and personalities of the two county guards......
Zhao Si had not assisted the First Emperor in his work before.
It's just that at that time, Zhao Si was either responsible for dealing with some trivial things.
Either read it to the First Emperor, so that the First Emperor can understand the content faster and make a quick judgment.
As for why the First Emperor made a judgment, the deep meaning behind the judgment, and the starting angle of the judgment, this is completely something that Zhao Si does not know and the First Emperor will never tell Zhao Si.
And now......
The First Emperor really seemed to be trying to put himself on the same page as him?
I'm afraid this is the real thing, something that can only be learned by the royal family, right?
I will say that there is a limit to the closeness between kings and ministers.
"What are you doing? Continue reciting. The First Emperor waved his hand.
Zhao Si scratched his head when he heard the sound, looked at the action of the first emperor's review, and picked up the jade seal seal, and then picked up the new fold and read it word by word.
When Zhao Sinian was thinking, the First Emperor squinted his eyes and listened and pondered.
After Zhao Si finished reading, the first emperor took up the pen to read, and Zhao Si stamped the seal.
During this period, Zhao Si was also responsible for tedious and subtle things such as ink research.
The First Emperor would occasionally ask Zhao Si for his handling opinions, and if there was something wrong with what Zhao Si said, the First Emperor would also correct it, and if Zhao Si did not understand something, the First Emperor would also explain and analyze it to Zhao Si.
Even occasionally let Zhao Si try to review it himself.
If Zhao Si was right, the First Emperor would simply read it back without changing a word.
For Zhao Si, his sense of participation has been greatly improved, and he has also gained a new experience in politics.
If there are subtitles, at this time, Zhao Si's head should be flying over the subtitles of experience +1+1+1.
And the other side......
Li Si and Wang Jian have returned to the place where they handle government affairs one after another.
"Where's Dr. Feng?"
Li Si entered, but didn't see Feng Quji's figure, and asked a little strangely.
"Doctor Goshi hasn't returned...... said the waiter in the room with a look of surprise on his face.
Feng didn't come back at all.
Li Si was surprised because of this, Feng Quji accelerated his pace in front of him, and he was able to talk to Wang Jian about Zhao Si in private, and he never saw Feng Quji's figure behind.
Li Si thought that Feng Qujian had already arrived at the place......
"When I first got the good news, I'm afraid that Doctor Yu Shi was busy going back to report the good news...... "Wang Jian sat down comfortably and said leisurely.
Li Si's brain turned around when he heard the sound, and he sat down with a bit of ridicule on his face.
"Yes, he doesn't have anything to deal with anyway, and when he learns of such a big event, I'm afraid he's busy informing the right minister in the opposition."
How long has Fusu Lichu been delayed......
The last time it was said that Fusu would succeed to the throne as the prince was already the last time.
I have to make a trip like this every year.
This time, Fusu returned to Xianyang with the greatest momentum, after all, Fusu came back with the exploits of Longxi, but the position of the prince was still not decided.
Now......
There is a forty-year-old son in the world? I'm afraid that the supporters of Fusu have long been impatient.
If you don't make a reserve, I'm afraid that the right minister in the opposition will not be able to withstand it.
