"Is this Yingzheng a fake, why is he so unsmart?!" Jiang Bai looked at Ying Zheng's understanding of the two systems of the Three Provinces and Six Ministries and the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, and complained before going to bed at night.

Zhao Ji didn't know what he meant.

"The mutual checks and balances of the three princes and nine secretaries and the six ministries of the three provinces, why did he only think of setting up a few more official positions? While the three provinces and six ministries were in control of the court, didn't he see that I didn't mention the Imperial Historical Observatory and the National Governor's Mansion? Jiang Bai wondered, he thought that it was impossible for Yingzheng not to see a certain direction revealed in this.

Zhao Ji hurriedly reassured: "Zheng'er believes in you too much, and he doesn't think much about your suggestion at all." ”

It's no wonder that if you don't consider other people's opinions, you won't be an emperor through the ages.

"Probably too busy to think about it, tomorrow you go to find it, and clearly tell Yingzheng that the six ministries system of the three provinces and the three princes and nine secretaries system should try to check and balance each other and integrate each other," Jiang Bai said, "For example, why can't the person in charge of the three provinces be Jiuqing?" ”

Zhao Ji completely understood.

It not only decentralizes the power of the prime minister, but also checks and balances the three provinces and six ministries.

"There is another meaning, the level of Shangshutai is too low today, and it is necessary to gradually improve the level and status of Shangshutai through Jiuqing concurrently serving as the six Shangshu or Shangshu's servants." Jiang Bai Road.

When Ying Zheng learned about it, he said, "Taifu actually thinks that I should have such a strong ability to understand? This is my high opinion, but this is not all Taifu means, using Jiuqing to improve the status of Shangshutai and the six departments at this time, on the other hand, after the establishment of the three provinces and six departments, Jiuqing can also use the older qualifications to coerce Shangshutai, and at the same time, if the three provinces and six departments need to be divided and reformed in the future, Jiuqing can use a higher level, but to achieve the control of the inner palace and the outer court. ”

That's right.

"This should be Yingzheng's ability and thoughts, what has he been thinking about lately, why can't he even think of such a simple thing?" Jiang Bai praised and questioned.

Zhao Ji said good things for his eldest son: "I trust you too much, so I didn't think about it at all, and besides, Zheng'er's martial arts also need to be improved. ”

That's just as well.

Jiang Bai thought for a moment and deliberately mentioned something.

"Immortality? Still longevity? Ying Zheng took a piece of music sent by Fusu and scratched his head very strangely, "How is Taifu confused, in this world, the only way to live long is to be strong in martial arts and be careful, and you value your own health, how can there be a fruit that makes people live forever?" ”

Fusu said: "Probably there are other intentions, how can Taifu be a person who believes in this doctrine." ”

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it." Ying Zheng scratched his head.

It just so happened that the people invited by his edict arrived in Xianyang.

"Master Zou has arrived!" Wei Wang Jiao was happily entertaining guests at home, a large number of scholars from Wei State, especially the down-and-out scholars came to visit, and the emperor also asked him to entertain on his behalf, which made Wei Wang Jiao very happy, and on this day, when everything recovered, someone came to report.

King Wei thought about it for a while, got up in surprise and said, "But the master Zou Yan who was in the Jixia School Palace back then? ”

It was him, and he didn't come alone.

At the east gate of Xianyang, more than 20 miles away, a group of more than 1,000 people was slowly walking towards the city.

On an ox cart, a master with a white beard and no age was quietly recuperating with his eyes closed.

Next to the car was a tall, fluttering middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked in the direction of Xianyang and quietly sent someone to investigate.

"No need, the emperor does want to reform the evils of the world, this is everyone's luck." In the car, the old man opened his eyes and smiled amiably, and sighed lightly, "It's just that the old man is now over eighty years old, and the emperor has been asking for a visit for many years, so I don't know what his intentions are." ”

Middle-aged human: "It's not necessarily a bad thing. ”

"I don't know, but Ying Zhengxiong's talent is far greater than that of the princes of the Six Kingdoms, and he shouldn't have taken a fancy to some extension of our Yin-Yang Doctrine." The old man said, "Xu Fu, when you arrived in Xianyang this time, do you still want to tell the emperor about your overseas immortal mountain discovery?" ”

It turned out that the person's name was Xu Fu, the famous Xu Fu.

Xu Fu bowed down and said: "Xianshanzhi said, a wise person will not believe it, otherwise, why hasn't the Yan State and Qi State lived in the East China Sea for so many years?" If the Emperor believes, I will leave him. ”

What if you don't believe it?

"Then I will persuade him to try to develop a sailor, an East China Sea division." A smile appeared on Xu Fu's face and he said, "As far as I know, there are savage tribes in the depths of the East China Sea that have gradually converged, and once they are allowed to form a climate, it will pose a threat to our Central Plains. We can take advantage of this opportunity to include the islands of the East China Sea in the Central Plains. ”

Then he said, "What does Master Zou think?" ”

The old man is the world-famous Zou Yan.

Zou Yan said with a smile: "Doesn't Xu Fu know that the old man believes in the theory of 'Kyushu', and we live on a small island in the deep sea?" However, I heard that Taifu Jiangbai is very steady and wise, and he is afraid that he will not support the move of asking for power from the deep sea. ”

"Not necessarily!" Xu Fu was full of confidence, "I see that Jiang Bai is quite greedy for land, if words can't convince him, I will use overseas immortal mountains to persuade him." ”

Zou Yan laughed, he didn't believe that people like Jiang Bai could be persuaded by words.

"Zou Fuzi doesn't know, this man persuaded the emperor to carry out a conquest in the northwest, although I don't know what good things are in the northwest, but I think it's just two kinds of land and population. And in the depths of the East China Sea, there may be something else that they have not seen, and I can convince them. Xu Fu is more confident.

Zou Yan shook his head slightly, he was different from Xu Fu, a well-known scholar, he traveled between the nations and knew too much about the nature of those in power.

Ying Zheng said that if it sounds good, it is called eloquence, and if it is ugly, it is the king of tigers and wolves.

This kind of person is extremely utilitarian, and it is too difficult to convince him with an ethereal method of asking for immortals.

Jiang Bai is Yingzheng's most trusted person, and he is the man of Empress Dowager Zhao, and he is probably not a master who can be persuaded by words.

Xu Fu is young!

After arriving outside Xianyang City after a short time, someone greeted him outside the city gate, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Zou Yan took a closer look and hurriedly ordered all his entourage to tidy up their clothes.

"Who is that young man?" Xu Fu put his hand on the pergola and took a closer look, only to see a young man with a kind attitude, wearing soft armor standing at the front.

Zou Yan said: "Tall, modest, gentlemanly, and full of wealth, he should be the prince of Daqin." ”

Fusu?

Xu Fu's eyes flashed.

When the convoy approached, Fusu arched his hand and said: "I didn't know that Master Zou was coming, I waited for the arrival of the company, and I invited Master Haihan." ”

Zou Yan said: "The eldest son looks at it highly, and the old man is just a savage. ”

"It's just in the wild." Fusu smiled and stepped forward to salute.
