The undercurrent of Xianyang is gradually formed.

Officials of all sizes in the South China Sea are also facing tests.

After Fusu returned from the Nanhai camp, he handed over some matters to them, and simply asked them every day, and they were responsible for the suggestions and arrangements.

They didn't dare to be negligent or sloppy.

It's just that all the non-commissioned officers in the vicinity have made relatively proper arrangements, but for some reason they missed two people.

The roster of the two people was constantly exchanged among Xiao He and others.

But no one decided.

Ultimately.

In order to determine the official positions and whereabouts of the two, Li Dan decided to convene everyone to discuss.

This point of view has also won the consensus of everyone.

It's the day.

A side room in Lingling.

Li Dan, Xiao He and others sat together.

Li Dan looked around, and when he saw that the officials of the affairs office were all present, he also bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I am obsessed with how old you are, so I volunteered to be the host of this time, and I ask you not to mind." ”

said.

Li Dan continued: "There is only one thing that has been summoned to discuss with you this time. ”

"It's the placement of the two generals in the army."

"As for which two are the specifics, you have been dealing with the South China Sea affairs for so long, I am afraid you have all counted them in your hearts, one is the son of the Great Qin general Tu Sui, Tu Lan, and the other is the son of the Qin general Zhao Tuo, Zhao Ying, the identities of the two are actually a little special."

"Before Tu Sui's death, he was the commander of the South China Sea Army, and after Tu Sui's death, his son inherited his father's legacy and continued to take root in Lingnan, and made many achievements in the army, which was praised by many generals."

"The other person is even more familiar."

"He is the son of the current master of the South China Sea, and now the problem is here."

"Judging from the official positions provided by the Prime Minister's Mansion, there are only two official positions that can accommodate them, one is the Yongcheng County Commander, and the other is the county magistrate of Huai County.

"Yongcheng is the former capital of Great Qin, with a thriving population and tens of thousands of household registrations."

"Huai County is just a small county near the water."

"Hukou has been hovering on the edge of tens of thousands, and some time ago there was a very bad shipwreck, which undoubtedly led to the officials of Huai County, which has a certain negative impact in the hearts of many people, which will more or less affect future promotions."

"At the moment, there are only these two official positions that the Prime Minister's Mansion can give."

"We also have a choice to make."

"Who do you think of Tu Lan and Zhao Yi as the commander of Yongcheng County, and who is the county magistrate of Huai County?"

As Li Dan asked, the side room immediately fell silent.

No one spoke.

For this situation, Li Dan had long expected it.

It wasn't an easy decision to make.

In terms of ability and qualifications, Tu Lan is undoubtedly more competent, but the bad is that his father died, and Zhao Yi's father is in a proper position, if Zhao Yi is arranged to go to Huai County, it is easy to cause Zhao Tuo to be dissatisfied, Zhao Tuo is now the second only existence in the Qin army, with a high position and authority, and the authority is not inferior to Jiuqing.

Is such a character that they can provoke?

That's why.

The people in the ministry were well aware of the situation, but none of them were willing to take the risk, so the roster of these two people was constantly passed in their hands, but it was always unresolved.

Looked at.

Li Dan frowned.

He slowly stood up and went to close the door of the side room.

Then, Li Dan said slowly: "Now you can speak freely, this is all behind closed doors, and it will not be known to the outside world, and this matter should be decided." ”

Hear the words.

Everyone's eyes were slightly different.

How could they not be clear about this.

It's just that this mouth is really not good to speak, and as for asking Fusu to answer, it is even more impossible.

Didn't Fusu really know about it?

Definitely not.

Fusu handed over all this matter to them, and clearly had the heart to take the school examination, otherwise they would all pick up some light things to do, how could there be such a good thing in the world.

Therefore, everyone tacitly did not think about asking for instructions.

That's what they need to solve.

Long.

Seeing that everyone around him still refused to speak, Li Dan hesitated for a while, and decided to take the initiative to speak, he took the initiative to say: "Since you don't want to speak, then I, Li Dan, will take the lead in speaking out, I think that when Tu Lan is appointed as the commander of Yongcheng County, Tu Lan has outstanding ability, has always been steady in the army, and has repeatedly made military achievements, which shows his talent, and it is worthy of his name to make him competent." ”

"As for Zhao Yi."

"Although his father is the chief general of the South China Sea, Zhao Ying has not won many military achievements, and he has always been under his father's wing, and he has not really been in charge, so in my opinion, Zhao Yi needs to prove himself alone, and Yongcheng is a large county with a large population, so it is inconvenient for him to do it, so it is the most suitable for the county magistrate of Huai County."

"What do you think?"

Hear the words.

Everyone laughed bitterly.

How could they not understand the truth?

It's just easy to say, but it's hard to make a decision.

Especially this decision has to be handed over to Zhao Tuo for review, which is even more difficult, does this have to save Zhao Tuo's face?

There was a little silence.

Uncle Le got up and said, "I don't have an opinion on this, but will it be a little unfair to Zhao Yi?" ”

"Although he was blessed by his father, but he was willing to take root in Lingnan, which is actually very difficult, although there have been wars in Lingnan over the years, but most of them are piecemeal, if you want to achieve military merits, in addition to your own coping properly, you also need a certain amount of luck, maybe the resume we see is not completely accurate."

"I think maybe it's time to think about it."

It's just that when he said these words, Uncle Le's eyes couldn't help but dodge.

Obviously, I find it difficult to convince the public.

But the difficulty of this matter is here, the difficulty is not to settle Zhao Yi, but to deal with Zhao Tuo.

After all, Zhao Tuo is the chief general of the army, leading 500,000 troops, such a big power, they despise their sons so much, once it spreads, it will definitely damage Zhao Tuo's prestige, and it is easy for Zhao Tuo to resent them, and this matter is tricky in Zhao Tuo himself.

As Uncle Le took the initiative to pierce the window paper, others also expressed their concerns.

Without exception.

are all worried about Zhao Tuo's reaction.

It's just that everyone's rhetoric is more restrained, and they basically follow Uncle Le's words, they are all complaining about Zhao Yiming, but they can't say where they are uneven.

After some arguments, it was ultimately fruitless.

Some people think that Tu Lan should be the commander of Yongcheng County, and some people support Zhao Ying as the commander of Yongcheng County.

But no one dared to really make a decision.

Although Tu Lan's father is dead, his father has many friends in the court, if Tu Lan is the magistrate of Huai County, this is unjustifiable anyway, and it will even cause dissatisfaction among many courtiers, and in all fairness, Tu Lan's father died for the Great Qin, if it is disposed of like this, it is somewhat unsatisfactory, and even a little mean.

It's really hard to convince the public to be treated like this.

Even.

Even they feel a little chilly.

They are all Great Qin officials at the moment, if something happens to them one day, and the court treats their heirs like this, how will this make them chill?

It is precisely because of so many concerns that people have been uncertain for a long time.

Time.

But the crowd was deadlocked.

No one dared to make a conclusion about this incident.

Ultimately.

Li Dan looked at Wang Ping and asked, "Wang Ping, you are from a general's family and know a lot about military affairs, in your opinion, how should you deal with it?" ”

Wang Ping's face froze.

How could he take such a hot potato?

With the death of the eldest father and father one after another, the Wang family is no longer what it used to be, and he does not want to settle more rights and wrongs, Wang Ping smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "This is really difficult for me, there are indeed many people in my Wang clan who have entered the army, but I have been engaged in civilian work, and I don't know much about military affairs, so I can't give effective advice." ”

"Still."

Wang Ping paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I don't think it matters how we look at it, what matters is why the names of these two people appear on the roster, and what His Highness thinks." ”

Hear the words.

Everyone's eyes were slightly different.

Wang Ping is right, Fusu's attitude is the key.

General Pi's military position in the army is not low, this time only Zhao Yi and Tu Lan are on the roster, which can actually get a glimpse of some clues, but even so, it is not something they can make lightly, especially the final decision will come to Zhao Tuo's hands first, which makes them a little confused.

This in turn influenced the final decision.

But this is not a test for them in Fusu.

It's just that this test is really grinding.

In fact, they are mainly unwilling to offend Zhao Tuo.

Then.

There was a burst of laughter from the back of the seat.

"What is the matter with me, you discuss and discuss, just to discuss this?"

"One by one, they pretended to be confused."

"Does it make sense?"

"You are saying that it is unfair to Zhao Yi in this mouth, but in and out of the words, you actually support Tu Lan as the county order, but because of Zhao Tuo's face, you don't want to let yourself make this decision, you all want to let others come out so that you can get out of it, you guys, you have too many thoughts."

"Is this really that hard?"

"But I Liu Ji doesn't think so."

Listening to a burst of disapproving words from behind, everyone was slightly shocked, but after hearing who spoke, their faces couldn't help but show a touch of helplessness.

How can he, Liu Ji, be qualified to make decisions?

Even.

If it weren't for His Highness's kindness, he wouldn't be eligible to sit at the table.

On that day, after Xiao He told Fusu about Liu Ji's day, Fusu did not blame him, but also strictly ordered Liu Ji not to meddle in the affairs of the government, but Liu Ji was able to speak well, although he did not participate in it explicitly, but he appeared outside from time to time, relying on his own ability to speak, he insisted that Fusu looked at it differently, and finally authorized him to participate.

It's just as a 'fake' officer.

That is, the agent!

Hearing Liu Ji's unsparing words, Xiao He couldn't help but support his forehead.

However, out of trust in Liu Ji, he was still very curious about Liu Ji's opinion, and he bowed his hand slightly to everyone: "Since Liu Ji dares to speak out, he must have his own opinion, Liu Ji, you can tell me your opinion on this matter." ”

Liu Ji smiled.

It was natural to stand up.

He looked at the people in front of him and said with contempt: "What you said before is untenable. ”

"Fair?"

"How can there be fairness in this world?"

"These words are enough to deceive the illiterate Qianshou subordinates at the bottom, what kind of background are you, you are all people who have read a lot of books, how can you be less knowledgeable than me, a country person?"

"It's fair to open your mouth, and it's fair to close your mouth."

"Don't you think it's a little funny when you say the word fair?"

"People are born into three, six, nine and so on, some people are born into nobles, some people are born with mud legs, some places are like spring in all seasons, and some places change in all seasons, and even the environment is different, what is it to talk about people, fair? It's just human hypocrisy. ”

Hearing Liu Ji's words, many people in the audience frowned, and there was a trace of displeasure in their eyes.

Liu Ji didn't care.

He stood with his hands in his hands and said with an uninhibited face: "Fairness is just a lie made up by scholars, and it is also a sophistry that they specially fabricate to satisfy their own selfishness. ”

"No."

"You go and ask those people at the bottom, who of them really cares about fairness?"

"Nobody cares!"

"Because these people at the bottom know very well that there is no standard for fairness, and the standard depends on the mouth of the scholar, and when the scholar says that this is fair, they will change the law to find excuses and reasons, so that people think that this is really fair, but is this really fair?"

"Huh."

Liu Ji scoffed at this.

In Liu Ji's eyes, fairness, like Confucianism, is smelly.

It's all fake and empty.

There is no standard.

It all depends on the opinion of the scholar.

What kind of fairness is this, but it is just self-deception.

It's just fooling a group of illiterate people and letting a group of people follow along.

It's just that after talking about it for a long time, some people take it seriously.

Liu Ji said coldly: "You think this time it is difficult to decide, in my opinion, in fact, the resettlement method has long been called, and it is not a fair or unfair thing at all, but it can be implemented according to the foundation of Great Qin." ”

"The fundamentals of the Great Qin legal system are a little bit."

"Just !!"

"This is the most important thing of Qin Fa."

"This is also what the world cares about the most."

"Because Daqin is the legal system, and Daqin's justice is based on the law, and it can be seen, so whether it is fair or not, the world can also see it clearly, and it can be seen clearly, compared to those vain things, what the world wants to see is the real thing, what morality and shame, benevolence, righteousness and fairness, are all fooling people."

"You can think people at the bottom are stupid, but you can't think they're stupid."

"Their understanding of the world is very simple, that is, the rules you set, whether they are followed in the end, if they are obeyed, then it is fair, otherwise, how can they be convincing?"

"This time is no exception."

"Just do it according to the charter."

"Zhao Tuo is dissatisfied, let him find fault with the law."

"If there is a kind, go and change the law."

"Otherwise, if you do it according to the statute of the law, there will be no mistake in any case, and justice is the most important thing in the ministry."

"You have too many thoughts and too many distractions."

Hear the words.

The faces of the crowd changed slightly, but no one refuted.

They all bowed their heads thoughtfully.

Liu Ji's words made them wake up in an instant and understand the key this time.

Fair!!!

Time.

Everyone looked up at Liu Ji a few times.

Liu Ji is not simple.

In such a short period of time, I can directly see the reality and the reality.

It is worthy of being the person who makes His Highness look sideways.

The power of insight is amazing.
