Chapter 132: Zhao Si is the only choice
In the Black Ice Terrace, Liu Bang and Chen Sheng were barely two thousand stone officials.
It belongs to the existence second only to the leader of the Black Ice Terrace.
If calculated according to the official positions of the courtiers, Chen Sheng and Liu Bang can be regarded as kings, which is not surprising, after all, when Zhang Cangxiao and others were still tempering, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Liu Bang, and Lu Juan were already killing under the leadership of Dun Ruo.
Moreover, at that time, the First Emperor issued an order to move the king's tomb, and all the dirty work was lost to Heibingtai, and it was normal for Liu Bang and others to be promoted quickly.
After all, their backstage is Zhao Si, and the Black Ice Platform is not as expensive as a normal official position after all, after all, the Black Ice Platform itself is positioned as the sword in the hands of the emperor.
However!
Now here's the problem!
Zhao Si is the king!
Then their so-called rapid promotion is nothing compared to Xiao He, Zhang Cang and others.
That's a feudal king!
Almost all of the official positions in a country's affairs, large and small, are waiting to be divided.
Zhao Si is the king of Zhao State, and the team under him will inevitably soar to the sky.
Xiao He and the others will also fly directly from a few hundred stones to two thousand stones, and it is not a conjecture to pay homage to the marquis.
Not to mention, the rights of Zhao Guo are waiting for Zhao Si's team to divide up.
And Liu Bang, Lu Xuan, Chen Sheng, and Wu Guang, who joined the Black Ice Platform, could only watch dryly.
As soon as you enter the black ice platform, it is as deep as the sea, and if you can't get out, you can't get out.
"Repentance! Repent too! Liu Bang sighed.
Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and Lu Juan looked at each other, and they also sighed.
The four of them all thought that joining the Black Ice Platform could quickly make meritorious contributions and find another way, but they never thought that the opportunity to soar to the sky was gone.
"But I will be ordered by the king to guard Zhao Di, if I don't transfer......" Liu Bang thought to himself.
Although nominally he can't do anything in Zhao Guo under the command of the lord, the people who come to Zhao to take up his post are all old acquaintances.
For Liu Bang and others, it is no different from a mouse entering a rice tank.
Left and right, they are all their own people, of course, provided that they are not transferred by the First Emperor or Dunruo.
"It's just that the lord has been crowned king, and all affairs can be conscious, almost unlimited, no matter how much Your Majesty dotes on the lord, I'm afraid you can't leave me in Zhao Di anymore." Liu Bang sighed in his heart.
The autonomy of Zhao State is too high, according to the letters of Zhang Cang and others, almost except for the official positions appointed by the imperial court himself, the rest of the official positions Zhao Si can decide for himself.
Moreover, Zhao was able to have its own army, and had the right to make laws, collect taxes, and launch labor.
Except for the annual tribute of some grain and grass wealth to Xianyang, the administration and military are completely independent.
It's not that Great Qin can't control it, but the First Emperor doesn't want to care about it at all.
But the black ice platform is different, this is the emperor's eyeliner.
According to Liu Bang's idea, the First Emperor should at least ensure that he knows the situation of Zhao State well.
They are Zhao Si's disciples, and they are not trusted by nature, and even if they do, they have to consider avoiding suspicion.
With the first emperor's desire to control, he can't really let his eyes be smeared on the situation of Zhao State, right?
Liu Bang and the others groaned in their hearts, each lamenting, and regretted their decision to join the Black Ice Platform in the past.
On the other side, on the galloping road, the frame of the soldier Gongwei was slowly moving towards Zhao Di.
Zhang Cang, Chen Ping, Xiao He, the three highest IQ people were in the same car, planning for the Zhao State that was about to arrive.
Chen Ping and Xiao He each expressed their opinions on the governance of Zhao State, which were effective methods in Zhang Cang's opinion, but they were also denied by Zhang Cang one by one.
"After entering Zhao, the first priority is to quell the rebellion and turmoil of Zhao." Zhang Cang shook his head and spoke in a deep voice.
"Sir's words are wrong, you should first restore the connection between the counties and counties, restore the rule of officials, and rectify the county soldiers, if you just go to Zhaodi, you will go straight to quell the rebellion, and if you don't focus on governing the officials and reassuring the people, even if the rebellion is quelled, it will recur." Xiao He shook his head and said no.
"In my opinion, we should publicize the momentum with great fanfare, so that the people of Zhao know that Zhao Di has become the feudal state of the lord, and use this to promote the blood of the lord, and at the same time take the initiative to contact the heroes and nobles of Zhao Di, the reason why the rebellion of Zhao Di has not been quelled is nothing more than their support, and now that Zhao Di is feuding, there is a shortage of officials, and the official offices need to be rebuilt, and the vacant positions are enough, so that they can sit down and discuss carefully." Chen Ping opened his mouth and said.
Neither put counterinsurgency first.
Because in the eyes of the two, the so-called rebellion is nothing more than the support of the local nobles, and they only need to deal with the local nobles, or run the basic market well, and the rebellion will be extinguished without a fight.
"You're all right, but you're ignoring one thing." Zhang Cang shook his head.
"Temple!" Zhang Cang spoke in a deep voice.
"You may not have heard of the news in Xianyang, but now the voice of the prince is even more serious, but compared with before, the ministers are on a par with the lord and the eldest son, father and son, and build momentum for it." Zhang Cang said.
"What do you mean, sir?" Xiao He's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, and he fell into thought.
This is the difference between connections and news channels, Zhang Cang was the imperial historian in the Qin State in the end, and his connections are relatively high-end, so even on the road, he can understand the changes in Xianyang.
However, Chen Ping and Xiao He could not grasp this kind of news, so they also formed a difference in the decision-making of Zhao Guo.
"Your Majesty's goal is almost ......," Zhang Cang had a slightly embarrassed look in his eyes.
"If it is not as I expected, His Majesty has hinted at the ministers, it is nothing more than wanting to make the lord the prince." Zhang Cang said.
"But in this way, the eldest son won't be ......," Chen Ping said when he heard this.
"Who said that the eldest son and the lord can't stand at the same time?"
"It's just that according to Your Majesty's intentions, it should be that you want to set up a grandson first, and then a prince, which I told you before, but this kind of thing is too unbelievable after all, but the eldest son's henchmen will not be unable to understand it......"
"The reason why it hasn't been brought up now is that I am pretending to be confused and want to seek a turnaround, and secondly, because the momentum of the lord is still not enough after all...... If Your Majesty does not want to go his own way, this matter can only be raised by the ministers. ”
According to the current public opinion, the reputation of the lord has spread out of Guanzhong, and the Qin people in the gate all say that Qin has three generations of holy monarchs, so pulling to the end is nothing more than to see who can't hold their breath first.
If Your Majesty can't hold his breath, then he will first set up a prince and then a grandson.
If the ministers can't hold their breath, then they will set up the prince first and then the prince.
It is precisely because of this that the court has a lot of criticism, thinking that His Majesty's move may make a gap between father and son, which is not a grandiose move.
But now that the matter has come to this, we should also make a public announcement.
Therefore, it is necessary to pacify Zhao Di as quickly as possible, and there can be no compromise on the nobles of Zhao Di, and those who should be relocated must also send them to Xianyang without falling.
Not only to be fast, but also to be upright and beautiful, the main public reserve is justifiable.
With such merit, no matter how you say it, it also gives them a step......
Moreover, if the matter of Longxi has been decided, Han Xin has a lot of military achievements, even if he looks at a hundred years, such military achievements are less than five fingers.
It won't be long before the documents of Longxi's report will reach Xianyang.
When Han Xin returns to Xianyang, His Majesty will reward him and convene a court meeting, as long as we pacify Zhao before Han Xin's reward.
With such a two-pronged approach, the main public reserve will also be decided! Zhang Cang said seriously.
"Your Majesty's actions like this will indeed cause criticism......" Chen Ping sighed when he heard this.
Fusu and Zhao Si, the father and son, will definitely not be able to get close, and the First Emperor can't do anything to intervene in that place.
In fact, if they could, Fusu's henchmen would definitely want the father-son relationship to be harmonious and intimate.
But the First Emperor artificially created a deep gap for the dismantling.
The so-called order of the reserve seems to be nothing now, and I am afraid that it will never be able to pass the threshold in the future.
Emperor Shi has been emphasizing that although Fusu and Zhao Si are father and son, they are not one.
"The eldest son is lenient and benevolent, Your Majesty will inevitably have resentment in his heart when he acts like this, and the lord will also ......" Xiao He also spoke.
"That's not true, in fact, with the character of the eldest son, I'm afraid I won't mind Your Majesty giving the lord the title of king." Zhang Cang shook his head.
I don't mind, if Fusu was the emperor, he would have followed the example of Zhou Tianzi to defend the royal family.
"We know too little about news like this, is Sir so sure about the matter of the Lord Prince?" Chen Ping asked.
"Not sure......" Zhang Cang shook his head.
"Yes there is only one choice......"
Zhang Cang looked at Xiao He and Chen Ping, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Haven't you ever thought about why the eldest son and His Majesty have such conflicting political views, but the ministers are still willing to wave the flag for the eldest prince and make suggestions on the matter of establishing a prince?"
"Your Majesty really doesn't have many options...... Only the eldest son can calm the hearts of the people in the world, even if he wants to do the matter of separation, and conflicts with His Majesty's political views.
Your Majesty has never dealt with things with likes and dislikes, and the hidden dangers of the policy Your Majesty knows better than anyone else, if you choose a prince who has the same political views as Your Majesty, but you are faced with the death of the second emperor, it is better to set up the eldest prince as the prince, there is a lesson from the Zhou royal family, and the national fortune of 800 years is also considered to be long.
The reason why the ministers shouted for it was not because of the generosity of the eldest son, but because, no matter what, the eldest son was still the most qualified and capable person to inherit the throne, and although His Majesty was angry because of the eldest son's political opinions, he never really punished the eldest son severely from beginning to end......
The so-called exile of Longxi, in fact, the power of Longxi is in the hands, and it is called exile, but in fact, what is the difference between it and the king?
I'm afraid that only someone as affectionate as the eldest son can take it seriously......," Zhang Cang said with a sigh.
"And the lord, although he is the son of the eldest son, he is older than the people, and he has never gotten along with the clan, let alone been close.
Moreover, His Majesty has always been close to the lord, the lord is smart and can govern political affairs, and the lord who has always followed His Majesty to govern will not be widespread.
And the descendants of His Majesty, no one can compare with the lord, so it is reasonable for His Majesty to pay attention to the lord. Zhang Cang said.
This conclusion is due to the express indication of the First Emperor on the one hand, and the fact that the First Emperor really has no choice.
"But even if the lord is a prince, he is only a grandson, and after the eldest son succeeds to the throne, he will ......" Xiao He groaned when he heard it.
"Your Majesty is only a dozen years older than the eldest son.
When an old man in his sixties sees an old man in his eighties, most of them just call out for brother......" Zhang Cang shook his head.
Is it really that age, the teenage gap, is it huge?
"The reason why Your Majesty has made a gap between father and son is precisely because of this."
"Even if the eldest prince is widely feuded among the princes, it will only be a decade or two at most, and the prestige of Great Qin is still there, as long as the lord is not close to the princes, it is not difficult to recover the fief." Zhang Cang said.
Chen Pingxiao frowned when he heard this.
Zhang Cang said too far, if it were an ordinary person, he would think that Zhang Cang was unfounded.
But these three people are all wise men, so they don't think that Zhang Cangqi is talking nonsense, but secretly thinks about how they should deal with the situation in the future.
"Therefore, Your Majesty attaches great importance to one priority, and the pacification and governance of Zhao State is also the top priority."
"But if you only rely on the county soldiers of Zhao Di, even if you want to quell the rebellion, it will not be an overnight thing." Xiao He shook his head when he heard this.
The combat effectiveness of the county soldiers is just like that, not to mention the local rebellion and the secret support of the nobles.
And the nobles have their own manpower in the government and the local army, and it will be quite troublesome just to sort out the local military and government, how can they quell the rebellion of Zhao State at the speed of light?
Before Han Shin returned home?
Wouldn't that be just two or three months?
"So we have to take a two-pronged approach, on the one hand, we must hype up the blood and momentum of the lord, so that Zhao people's hearts can be at ease and paralyze them, and on the other hand, we must use some off-the-board tricks." Zhang Cang shook his head and smiled.
"Off-the-shelf?" Chen Ping looked at Zhang Cang in surprise.
"Taiwei supervises the counterinsurgency, and has an overview of the Great Qin military, and the general Wang Ben has just quelled the rebellion of the Yan State, and the army is still suppressing the place, as long as the general is willing to borrow troops, the rebellion of the Zhao State can be extinguished with a snap of a finger." Zhang Cang said with a smile.
"The army needs to be transferred out, right?" Xiao He frowned.
"The captain supervises the military of the world with wind and candles, and there are no taboos in his actions." Zhang Cang opened his mouth and said?
"But I heard that the Taiwei has no longer interfered in the government since the war against Chu, even if he asks him for advice, he will not speak, and because of this, the four famous generals, only the Taiwei has not faded so far, and the Taiwei has a temperament, will he really ask His Majesty, will he send troops without going through the court?" Xiao He asked.
"If you even have to ask Your Majesty about such a thing, then why did Your Majesty say in the court that how to quell the chaos is up to the Captain?" Zhang Cang shook his head and smiled.
"Besides, pacifying Zhao Di, for Your Majesty, it is nothing more than the next holy decree urging Wang Ben to send troops as soon as possible, the reason why the decree has not been issued for a long time, the reason why Wang Ben has not received the royal order to leave the land of Yan until now, is it because Your Majesty doesn't care about Zhao Di?"
Chen Pingxiao He glanced at each other, and they all felt something.
Oh, this is to bind the Wang family to the lord.
Of course, this choice has to be made by Wang Jian himself.
If Wang Jian is unwilling, he can certainly pretend to be blind, just ask the first emperor through the court, and then transfer troops after receiving an answer.
is still the same sentence, after all, he is the only marquis of Great Qin, and in his last years, the first emperor will not embarrass Wang Qian.
Even if Wang Jian was unwilling, the First Emperor would not force him.
But......
What about Wang Jian after that? What about the Wang family?
