Ji Heng took himself a glass of cold water.

He held the cold water in the palm of his hand and said slowly: "Public is public, private is private, and the two cannot be confused." ”

"Wang Ben's death is indeed a national martyrdom, but the court can't take it too seriously."

"Everything should be based on public spirit."

"Again."

"Although the Qin people were very sad about Wang Ben's death, it didn't last long."

"Therefore, what the court has to do, in addition to the glorious funeral of Wang Ben, is to use Wang Ben's death as much as possible to 'profit' for the court, I know that this statement is very cold-blooded and ruthless, and it is also very immoral and unkind, but this is politics."

"There are no feelings, only interests!"

Fusu's face was slightly gloomy.

Ji Heng's words made him a little uncomfortable.

He knew that what Ji Heng said was right, but it was too much to use a dead person.

Ji Heng ignored Fusu's complicated complexion, looked at the house calmly, and said lightly: "Maybe it's a little difficult to accept, but you must learn to accept it, and you must learn to control it." ”

"In his position, he seeks his government."

"This is a very clear truth told by the ancients."

"As the eldest son of Great Qin, you should put the world first."

"The Wang family has been Qin for generations."

"If you really have a heart, you can be kind in the future."

"If it's really because of a momentary thought, and you ignore the world, then it's really ridiculous."

Hear the words.

Fusu's face changed.

His hands clenched secretly, but he finally let go.

He arched his hand and said, "Please also ask Mr. for advice." ”

Ji Heng shook his head and said: "There is nothing to point out, just some ordinary operations, with the death of Wang Ben, the other five places will not make large-scale trouble, even if there is, it is only sporadic, it will not become any climate, and the nobles will still 'cherish their name' after all." ”

"Not so with the imperial court."

"The rebellion of the nobles of Qi is an opportunity for Great Qin."

"An opportunity to get your hands on it all together."

"What happened to the merchant who asked Ling to find from the Lishan prisoners before?"

Fusu frowned.

But I don't know why Ji Heng suddenly mentioned those businessmen.

He said in a deep voice: "Those dozen or so businessmen have all been exempted from their crimes some time ago, and they have all started business again, but the scope of their business is not large, and they only occupy the business of the three businessmen who resisted the order before, and the current situation is not very good, and they have been squeezing out other businessmen." ”

"Why did Mr. Ji ask this?"

Ji Heng said lightly: "Qidi rebelled, and Shang Jia Ding participated in it. ”

"After the government quells the rebellion, you can send these merchants over and let them run the business of Qidi, and drop the pawns of the Qin court in Qidi."

"These businessmen have no background in Qidi."

"If you want to survive the exclusion, the only thing you can do is to rely on the government."

"And then to achieve the effect of differentiation."

"In addition, the control of the imperial court alignment is insufficient, even if it can manage the officials at the county level, the local power is still very thin, and these merchants have invisibly increased some power to the Qin officials in the past, which can deepen the control of the imperial court alignment to a certain extent."

Hear the words.

Fusu was thoughtful.

These businessmen are no longer of much use in Guanzhong.

It doesn't take more than a dozen people.

If you put it in the same place, it can indeed be of great use.

First, they are not familiar with the place, and if they want to take root in Qidi, the only thing they can rely on is the government, and they can only be Qin officials, and secondly, Qidi has developed commerce, and these businessmen in the past undoubtedly want to grab money from Qi merchants, Qi officials and Qi nobles, which has also invisibly strengthened the control of the local area and weakened the strength of Qi land.

Maybe it won't work out too well.

But this was originally delivered to the door, why wouldn't Daqin do it?

If these merchants can gain a firm foothold in Qidi, the imperial court will be able to make a lot of profits.

From any point of view, it's good and it's not harmful.

Ji Heng said: "In addition to sending businessmen to put eyeliner on the Qi people, the imperial court can also be ruthless, clean up the officialdom of Qidi, clean up some officials who are obviously at both ends of the head and rat, strengthen the officials of the imperial court to align the land, and give more help to the officials of the Qin people, but the situation of the officialdom must be moderate." ”

"Enough is enough."

"The main direction of the cleanup is the merchants."

"The purpose of all the current actions of the imperial court is actually very clear."

"It's just for money!"

"At other times, it was too blatant and somewhat worried, but now it can take advantage of Wang Ben's new death and rebellion in Qidi, which makes the soldiers very angry, and suppresses Qi Shang fiercely to collect money as much as possible."

"But don't go too far."

"Just let Qi Shang have a little more blood."

"Now is not the time to bring all Qi Shang to justice."

"The iron-blooded suppression of the rebellion, and the businessmen and officials behind it, mainly beat and deterre."

"After this incident, Qi Di will not be able to recover in the short term."

"The imperial court can also make a lot of profits."

Fusu nodded secretly.

He didn't expect so much at all, and when he heard Ji Heng's words, he knew that he could do this.

Fusu arched his hand and said, "Fusu understands." ”

"When I get back, I'll tell your majesty about it."

Ji Heng glanced at Fusu, shook his head and said: "There is no need to report these things, the officials of the imperial court are all people who are well versed in politics, and they know the stakes better than you, the reason why I say so much is to let you know that when dealing with state affairs, you should focus on the overall situation, and not on personal selfishness." ”

"If you insist on thinking about Wang Ben's contribution, it will be how many opportunities you will miss."

"Daqin's current situation is difficult, if you don't seize every opportunity, it will be impossible to turn things around."

Fusu said: "Fusu remembers. ”

Ji Heng stood up from the recliner and said, "Now that Wang Ben has been sent to the cemetery, you should continue your journey to the founding of the country, only this time, I will not follow anymore, you brothers will go on their own." ”

Hear the words.

Fu Su frowned, puzzled: "Mr. Ji, why is this?" ”

Ji Heng's eyes showed a deep color, and he said lightly: "My existence has greatly weakened your autonomy, and it has also made you rely on a certain amount, this situation is not right, I have already decided when I came out of prison that I will not put myself in the game." ”

"This time I made a mistake."

"Re-embark on the road of opening up the country."

"This is not for me, but for your journey of refining your hearts."

"You sons, you have never realized one thing, the influence of the First Emperor on you is too great."

"You and Hu Hai are two opposites."

"Hu Hai's daily life, many times inadvertently imitate the first emperor's every move, you are not, you used to be very dissatisfied with the first emperor's strength, so everything is used to singing the opposite, maybe it can also be called rebellion, but you two brothers, in the final analysis, did not get rid of the influence of the first emperor."

"One imitates for imitation's sake."

"One is against for the sake of opposition."

"My appearance."

"Got you guys a little changed."

"But this change is not beneficial to you, just one more person to imitate."

"That's all."

"As the son of Great Qin, this situation is very dangerous."

"Everyone in the world says that in the six hundred years of the Qin State, there have been a lot of Ming monarchs, from the founding Qin Xianggong, to Qin Wengong, Qin Wugong, etc., it seems that every monarch of Great Qin is not bad, but is this really the case? No, before Qin gave birth to his son, the successive monarchs of Great Qin actually followed the succession of father to son, and almost all of them followed the primogeniture inheritance system. ”

"And starting from Qin's son, Daqin began to appoint the king as a virtuous."

"But there is no clear definition of Danxian."

"What is Xian?"

"What kind of person can be called virtuous?"

"Whether it's the ancient saints, or the people of the Spring and Autumn Period, they can't give a definition."

"Why can Great Qin always be a monarch?"

"Qin Xiangong died early, his youngest son was only five years old, and he was promoted to the throne of the monarch for the three concubines, and when he was ten years old, he was killed by these three concubines.

"And not just once."

"After the death of Duke Hui of Qin, Duke Qin took the throne when he was two years old."

"The great politics of the Qin State were presided over by his mother, who reused eunuchs and relatives, and then there was a chaotic government of 'the sages do not say that they hide themselves, and the people are depressed and resentful', and since then, the Qin State has almost no longer established a young master, and all monarchs must be adults."

"If the son of a contemporary monarch is a minor, the monarch shall appoint his brother after his death."

"Only in this way can the foundation of Qin's strength and prosperity be laid."

"Why does adulthood become the criterion for a monarchy or not?"

"It's actually quite simple to me."

"The establishment of the Great Qin monarch is not the so-called meritocracy."

"It's the 'maturity' of the standing!"

"In the world of great controversy, people are precocious, they understand the truth of the world very early, they also have their own insights, and they have formed their own set of rules of conduct.

"These monarchs have their own thoughts."

"They will not easily follow the crowd, nor will they easily bewitch others, but will first substitute their own thinking, and then decide whether to do it or not."

"It's important to have your own thinking."

"Right now you're lacking."

"You were influenced by the First Emperor in the past, and now you are influenced by me, whether the First Emperor or me, it has a deep influence on your concepts, so that you lack your own independent thinking, and in the long run, you will not get any growth, and you will only seek the opinions of others when you encounter problems."

"I have completely lost my opinion."

"If there are good ministers to assist, it is good, if traitorous ministers are supplemented by unscrupulous officials, ministers are autocratic, the national government is unstable, and the situation of Qin's government is declining, it will happen again."

"The reason why I proposed to let you go out of the country."

"It's not to make up for the history of Qin."

"Instead, I want you to borrow historical materials to polish your own knowledge, condense your own judgment criteria, truly feel the situation of the previous kings and monarchs of the Great Qin Dynasty, think about the way of governance of these monarchs, and then explore your own way of governance and form your own judgment basis."

"Blindly imitating is ultimately inferior."

"And my existence has affected your independent thinking, you will subconsciously ask for my advice when you encounter something, if I continue to follow, your re-opening of the country this time, after all, is just a formality, an empty understanding of history, and there is nothing to gain."

"It doesn't make sense."

"The Great Qin Gongzi must have his own ideas!"

"Living in the shadow of others can indeed lead a stable life, but it is destined to have no prospects."

"As future generations, we should step on the shoulders of our predecessors and go further, instead of enjoying the shade in the shadow of our predecessors."

"And you also need to understand one thing."

"As the prince of Daqin, what you have to think about is not what kind of son you want to become, but what kind of son the world needs, maybe you can't do it perfectly, but as long as you move forward along this path, you are destined not to do too much."

"Though you are over thirty years old."

"But you're not mature in terms of how you do things."

"I also lack my own basis, and I am too susceptible to the influence of others."

"It is true that the existence of the First Emperor has too much influence on you, but the manifestation of maturity is not to break away from the influence of the First Emperor and give birth to your own independent thinking."

"That's what adults are!"

"If you don't have your own view of right and wrong and values, you are just a plaything attached to others after all."

"Such a person can't become the king of Great Qin."

Fusu stood still.

His eyes kept changing, and finally he hung his head.

He was powerless to refute.

Ji Heng said it very explicitly.

He was indeed a little willful in the past, and many times he opposed it for the sake of opposition, just because the First Emperor was too strong, which made him very depressed in his heart, and when he knew that the First Emperor's decision was wrong, he would be very indignant to oppose it, but are these objections really his true thoughts?

Probably not.

Ji Heng's existence, as Ji Heng himself said, has given him an extra channel to show his differences, but from beginning to end, it is just his own self-esteem that is at work, wanting to be recognized by the first emperor, but afraid of being disgusted by his father, so he has never been able to get rid of the influence of the first emperor.

And even the impact is getting deeper.

Fusu smiled bitterly, his voice was a little low, and said, "Thank you, Mr. for enlightening, Fusu has been taught." ”

Ji Heng looked at Fusu, shook his head, and said, "It's not all your fault, the influence of the First Emperor is too huge, how easy is it to get rid of the influence of the First Emperor?" That's why you need to take the path of the founding of Great Qin with your heart, which is a completely different concept from the First Emperor. ”

"The 600-year road of the Qin State has overcome thorns and thorns."

"It will be of great benefit to you."

"Whether it is the suspicion of the lord and the country, or the dictatorship of the eunuchs of foreign relatives, or various reforms, this can be learned, taking history as a mirror, knowing the rise and fall, taking people as a mirror, knowing the gains and losses, and re-taking the road of the founding of the Great Qin, both, if you can use this to refine your own political way, no matter what you face in the future, you will not panic."

"I will not be easily seduced by traitors and take away authority for powerful ministers."

"Born to the sun, rooted downward!"

"Put your roots in the 600-year history of Great Qin."

Fusu took a deep breath.

His heart is beating hard right now, and Ji Heng's words have benefited him a lot.

He respectfully bowed to the teacher and said: "Fusu has been taught, and Fusu will remember Mr. in the future." ”

"Born to the sun, rooted downward!"

"During this time, Fusu was indeed slack, there was a gentleman present, and he could ask Mr. directly in case of trouble, so he had less to think about, Qinting, Xichen, Huangyi, and then Pingyang, almost all of them were thinking alone, and I and my other younger brothers were basically silent."

"I have indeed lost the true meaning of this trip."

"Thank you, sir."

Ji Heng bowed slightly.

He said slowly: "Many truths in the world are the same. ”

"What happened in history may be repeated in the future, so you should think about the decisions made by the monarchs at that time, think about why they did what they did at that time, and then construct your own ideas and how you will choose them, and then temper your own consciousness."

"The real history books of Great Qin start with Qin Wengong."

"It was also from the beginning of Qin Wengong that Great Qin set up historians to chronicle."

"In the old capital in front, the relevant historical materials are almost passed on by word of mouth, so you don't have to pay too much attention to it, but since Pingyang, the relevant historical materials of the Qin State have become sufficient, and you need to use this to polish more, and when you form your own thinking habits, you will no longer be as unclear and unclear as in the past."

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

"That's all I can say, and as for the final outcome, it's up to you."

Fusu respectfully behaved.

Ji Heng seemed to remember something, and added a few more words.

He said: "When you return to Xianyang, you should each write a copy of your thoughts and present it to the First Emperor. ”

"This is also the big test of your trip."

Fusu was stunned.

Immediately, he also guessed Ji Heng's intentions, and said gratefully: "Mr. has a heart, Fu Su must keep it in mind." ”

Ji Heng nodded and said, "On this trip, in addition to experiencing the difficult road of the previous kings and kings of the Great Qin, you must also go deep into the local area and understand the local suffering. ”

"Putting down roots in the land is not a lie, you should do it."

"The current environment of Great Qin has changed greatly from the Qin State in the past, and if you blindly copy it, you will only reap the consequences, so when you combine the actual situation, you should think about it holistically, and if you can think further, it would be even better."

Fusu nodded.

I think so.
