Xianyang Palace.

Feng Qujian and other courtiers have retreated.

In addition to Fusu, only Meng Tian and Zhang Cang were left in the palace, both of whom were Fusu's most trusted courtiers.

Fu Su sat on it, looked at Meng Tian and Zhang Cang with a cold expression, and asked, "Now that everyone else is gone, you are the people I trust the most, just tell me why this system is so difficult to change." ”

"I want to hear what you really think."

It is true that the age limit of sixty has been determined just now, and the three princes and nine kings can be slightly exceeded, but when the details are really discussed, it is difficult to make an inch.

Even......

In the end, it was all gone.

Only a 60-year-old age limit was negotiated, and as for the rest, there was no progress, which was also unanimously opposed by Meng Tian, Zhang Cang and others.

Zhang Cang and Meng Tian glanced at each other, and their eyes showed a hint of indignation.

Fusu's idea was actually right.

But it's not operational.

can only make a start, as for the follow-up, there is no way to promote it, they are indeed opposed in the front, and their attitude is very resolute.

This is not only because of selfishness, but more importantly, the unreality of this idea, and the impact on the world is too great, enough to endanger the safety of Great Qin.

Fusu really couldn't think of a reason.

Because he is a king.

And he and others are ministers.

The two sides saw and paid attention to different points, and Fusu's idea was undoubtedly beneficial to Daqin and the royal family, but it was also contrary to the interests of all officials in Daqin.

The temple was quiet.

Zhang Cang and Meng Tian didn't speak.

Seeing this, Fu Su frowned and wondered: "This matter is so difficult to talk about?" You are so unwilling to tell me the truth? ”

Meng Tian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is angry, it's not that the ministers don't want to say it, but they don't know how to say it, Your Majesty is dedicated to the Great Qin Society, and the ministers are grateful." ”

"However, the world belongs to His Majesty's family."

"The suggestions and ideas put forward by His Majesty just now will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the future stability of Great Qin, and can also promote the flow of the Great Qin Dynasty and ensure the concentration of talents to a certain extent."

"The minister dared to offend His Majesty."

"The interests of His Majesty and the royal family have been greatly strengthened and consolidated from this, but what about the officials of Great Qin? And what did they get? ”

"Admittedly."

"Your Majesty has just stated that he will give the minister certain preferential treatment, although the minister does not know how His Majesty will give preferential treatment, but he will definitely not treat me badly."

"And our ministers still insist on opposing it, not because they are selfish and want to ask for more from Your Majesty, but because they are thinking more about Great Qin."

"The ministers have rewarded the former emperor and His Majesty enough, enough to be rich and noble for several generations, but as the ministers of Great Qin, how can they only have personal interests?"

"If the ministers agree to His Majesty's suggestion for personal gain, I am afraid that we will be pushed to the opposite side of the vast majority of officials in the world."

"The ministers are terrified."

Fusu frowned.

He didn't understand a little, this is obviously more beneficial than disadvantageous to hundreds of officials in the world, why does Meng Tian still say this? If the officials of the court do not resign, then there is a chance for others to be promoted?

Zhang Cang shook his head.

He smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty is thinking too simply, Your Majesty is in the palace, but he has ignored a lot of details. ”

"These details, in fact, are not very important in themselves, but at this time, they have become extremely serious, Your Majesty can know how much money the court needs to distribute in a year?"

Fusu shook his head.

He didn't know much about it.

Zhang Cang sighed lightly and continued: "The Yulu issued by the court is actually not the key, the key is that many officials have lived on Yulu for most of their lives. ”

"In the past, the world practiced the hereditary system."

"If the officials die, they can also get death, and now that they retire at the age of sixty, there may not be much difference between the low-level officials, and even many low-level officials will not live to be sixty."

"But there will be people who will live to be sixty."

"There are three or four hundred thousand officials in Daqin, this number is very large, if the state system is implemented again, this number will expand a lot, such a huge number of officials, there will not be too few who live past sixty."

"That's it."

"Once the age of 60 is over, many families will lose one or two hundred stones, or even higher, and it will be difficult to make a living from luxury."

"How can you not have a deep grudge against the court at that time?"

"After the unification of the world, according to the minister's estimate, the life expectancy will be greatly improved, and the medical hall system implemented by His Majesty in Guanzhong can also greatly protect the health of officials, so the life expectancy of officials will be increased in the future."

"When the time comes......"

"Your Majesty's decision made lightly, I don't know how many officials' livelihoods will be cut off in the future, and the ministers are ministers, how can they not feel like rabbits and dogs are cooking?"

"The local officials are all capable and talented people, and they can live to sixty years, but they are afraid that their influence is not small, and the ministers are frightened."

"The minister is lying for a while, please calm your anger."

Listening to Zhang Cang's words, Fu Su's body trembled, his face turned a little pale, and after listening to Zhang Cang's explanation, he completely understood.

He only noticed the courtiers, but he ignored the vast majority of officials in the world, whose vital interests were the most touched.

The courtiers and officials only rely on their income, which is enough to worry about food and clothing, and they have been prosperous for several generations, but the officials at the bottom do not have this condition.

In this case, it will only exacerbate the corruption and degeneration of these people, and if too many people are dissatisfied, it will even shake the foundation of Great Qin in the local area.

The system can be changed and can be changed.

But the vital interests of the majority of officials must be safeguarded, otherwise they have no incentive to carry out and promote, and only want the horses to run, but not give the horses grass, how is this possible?

"If you continue to ......" Before he finished speaking, Fusu shook his head, and if he continued to give it to Yulu, Daqin would not be able to raise it at all.

Money!

Meng Tian wanted to speak and stopped, but finally did not speak, Yulu is only a part of it, and there are many other problems, the protection of officials.

Without an official presence, many officials are only afraid that they will be targeted and retaliated against, and there are too many such influences, and it is easy to step down, and it is not that all officials want to stick to one position.

But what about stepping back?

How should their vital interests be safeguarded and protected? Is there really no one who has considered this issue in the world of great controversy, there must be.

It's just that after weighing it up, they all gave up.

The disadvantages are too great.

It's better to die, this is the least problematic, after a person dies, and then he is targeted, the court needs to bear the least responsibility.

The burden on the world and the court is also the smallest.

It's just that the efficiency of handling political affairs is slower, and it is undoubtedly more worthwhile than the situation in all aspects brought about by the change.

Fusu sat on the seat, completely silent.

He knows.

I think too little about myself.

It's too one-sided.

If it is really such a good change, I am afraid that someone has already done it, and it is precisely because the resistance is too great and the negative impact is too much that no one will do it.

"It's because I didn't think it through." Fusu Road.

Immediately, Fusu looked at Meng Tian and Zhang Cang and asked, "Then can't it really be changed?" ”

Zhang Cang was silent.

Meng Tian was also silent.

Can you?

Maybe.

It's just that the cost is very high, and the gains outweigh the losses, and this change is not a little bit of a star, but all aspects.

The entire system of the world must be re-established, which is equivalent to creating a new system on top of the old system.

How easy is that?

Zhang Cang raised his eyebrows, he raised his head and looked at Fusu, as if he remembered something, and said curiously: "Your Majesty, why do you suddenly want to make changes to the world system?" ”

Fusu frowned.

He glanced at Zhang Cang deeply, but he didn't say anything.

Looked at.

Zhang Cang immediately understood.

It's Ji Heng!

He sighed in his heart, he had realized that something was wrong, Ji Heng had been dormant in Xicheng for so long, and now he was beginning to show his fangs.

Fusu was not the first emperor after all.

He couldn't hold it down!

Now that Fusu has been led by Ji Heng's nose, perhaps many of Ji Heng's judgments and decisions are right, and they are indeed beneficial to Daqin.

But Fusu did not know the border.

It's easy to fall into Ji Heng's calculations.

So that Daqin is at his mercy.

Zhang Cang glanced at Meng Tian, then at Fusu, and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty must tie the bell to the bell, this person proposed it, presumably the follow-up has already been thought of, but Your Majesty is the emperor, you should be careful, don't take it lightly because of closeness." ”

Hearing Zhang Cang's reminder, Fusu's face changed slightly, he looked at Zhang Cang fiercely, his breathing was a little short, and he said in a condensed voice: "Zhang Cang, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhang Cang bit his lip and said firmly: "The minister just thinks that the heart of guarding against people is indispensable. ”

"Ji Heng's intelligence is too high, not ordinary people can compare, in the past, he did put forward a lot of good strategies and ideas for His Majesty, but the current world is not in the past."

"This man has big ambitions."

"But its ambition may not be the same as Daqin, nor may it be beneficial to Daqin."

"Your Majesty is cautious."

Meng Tian lowered his head, he didn't participate in this conversation, he had heard of Ji Heng's existence, but he didn't know much.

But Zhang Cang's intelligence, he knows, this person can make Zhang Cang so jealous, and even feel panicked, which is very appalling.

Fusu looked at Zhang Cang.

Eventually, he sat down.

A dry smile appeared on his face, and he nodded, "I know." ”

After Zhang Cang's awakening, he also came to his senses, he relied too much on Ji Heng in the past, and Ji Heng's ambition may not really be the same as him.

If he continues to be influenced by it, he is afraid that the world will gradually move towards Ji Heng's thoughts, and will the world still be familiar to him at that time?

Fusu asked gloomily: "Then in your opinion, is there still a need to change this system?" ”

Zhang Cang smiled helplessly: "Yes." ”

"It has to be changed, too."

"Reason." Fusu said coldly.

Zhang Cang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Now that Your Majesty has been put on the shelf, this matter has also fallen into the ears of the courtiers, if it stops abruptly halfway, it will not be good for Your Majesty's prestige." ”

"What's more."

"The court needs someone to make room."

"Otherwise, the group of heroes in Kanto will probably have resentment, and the estrangement between Guanzhong and Kanto will still be there, and the unification of the world will be just a flash in the pan."

"The steps have been taken."

"There's absolutely no turning back."

"What's more, the whole world is actually in this person's calculations, and Daqin is the same, now the situation in Daqin has been framed, and he is in a dilemma, only by continuing to move forward and getting rid of the shackles can he really get out."

"And it's all about this person."

"Although Daqin can produce many people, he is the only one who knows all parties well and has a deep understanding of the situation in the world."

"I beg Your Majesty to invite Ji Heng to come out!"

Hear the words.

Fusu's face changed slightly.

He didn't expect that Zhang Cang would say this, and he wanted Ji Heng to come out.

This was something that the emperor strongly opposed at the beginning.

Zhang Cang seemed to have guessed Fusu's thoughts, a flash of shrewdness flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Your Majesty, this time is not that time. ”

"In the past, it was inconvenient for this person to show up."

"But now it's different, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are ambushed, and the world is completely returned to Qin, if it continues to hide behind the scenes, it is really inappropriate."

"Only by letting him be put on the surface can his thoughts be perceived by outsiders, and only then can the outside world see the true intentions of this person."

"The darkness is always controlled!"

Hear the words.

Fusu's expression moved slightly.

He also understood that he continued to let Ji Heng shoot in the shadows, and in the end he would only put him on fire, but if Ji Heng was forced out, everything would be borne by Ji Heng.

Instead, he can hide behind the scenes.

If Ji Heng is out of the pool, he can solve Ji Heng at will, so that he will not be unbearable because he is not on the bright side.

He's a king.

How can a monarch rush to the front again and again, and let his subjects hide behind the scenes?

Fusu nodded with a smile and said, "Good." ”

"I'm blind, you're right, the situation in the world has changed, and he was really not suitable for showing up in the past, but now."

"He is the leader of the situation in the world, and he should stand in front of the stage and solve the world's affairs one by one, so it is not in vain for him to work hard."

"That's exactly what the minister meant." Zhang Cangdao.

A person's intelligence may not be as good as Ji Heng's, but the collective wisdom of hundreds of officials can make Ji Heng's mind clear.

At that time, Ji Heng is really selfish, and he will be impeached soon, and Fusu will know faster, and system reform is a matter of offending people, Ji Heng leads, and resentment should naturally fall on Ji Heng's head.

No matter from what point of view, the benefits to Fusu outweigh the disadvantages.

How could he not allow it?

The only influence is that Ji Heng is out of office, but he will not give Ji Heng too much real power, let alone let Ji Heng get involved in power.

It will only allow it to complete this innovative system.

Think about it.

Fusu's expression relaxed.

He was still very anxious, he didn't know what to do, and even thought that he would take the initiative to find Ji Heng once and let Ji Heng explain the follow-up clearly.

But it's not necessary right now.

Let Ji Heng deal with it and solve it himself.

He only needs to keep an eye on Ji Heng to do things, and with Ji Heng's mind to contain the courtiers, he also has more time and energy to complete the reform of the army.

Fusu said: "Since this is the case, then it is so decided, I will immediately issue an edict, and I will make him a doctor of Daqin, and he will have the authority to participate in politics and discuss politics, and be responsible for the future restructuring of Daqin." ”

Zhang Cang and Meng Tian hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise." ”

Fusu is happy now.

even wanted to float a big white face, but there was no wine around, so he could only give up.

Seeing this, Zhang Cang and Meng Tian also chose to retreat.

Retreat to the outside of the temple.

Zhang Cang couldn't help but let out a long breath of turbidity.

Now that he has finally thrown this burden out, he doesn't know where Fu Su clearly wants to make himself responsible for Meng Tian.

But he really didn't dare to take such a thing.
