Hearing this, I got up and bowed, humbly asking for advice: "Zongzheng teach me!" ”

Yingwu accepted my salute, did not feel inappropriate at all, and replied: "Your Majesty, please sit down, Rong Chen is careful." What is a Maison? Those who are not rich and powerful are those who are prosperous and prosperous! Therefore, there is no king of duckweed and the king of wandering, and the same will be true. Li Si is under Daqin alone, and his power has reached its peak, but why does he sigh and don't know where to go? Because he is an outsider in Daqin after all. ”

I don't quite understand: "With Li Si's current status, how can he be called rootless duckweed?" If it is said that he is not from Qin, he is from the old Chu, and this cannot be changed. ”

Ying Wu smiled slightly: "The Feng family is also from the old Han, why don't they have such worries?" ”

I frowned slightly, as if I understood a little: "The ancestors of the Feng family came to Qin, and after two generations, they have been reused since Feng Ting. After three more generations, the big roots in the Great Qin Tree are deep, so naturally there is no such worry. ”

"Yes, yes. Li Si is different, he has no foundation in the Qin State, if the Li family can become a family in the Qin State, Li Si is the founder of the Li family, a supreme minister, and no one in the future generations can surpass him. Prosperity and decline, the Li family has not accumulated for several generations, and there is a gap with His Majesty's political opinions, it is destined to go downhill all the time, how can Li Si not be worried? ”

It dawned on me that Yingwu's words gave me a new understanding of these gate valve families.

Indeed, without the precipitation of several generations, no matter how high the official position and how much wealth there are, it is still a castle in the air, and it is very easy to collapse suddenly, and the later world is called the nouveau riche. For example, Daqin...... However, it is still possible that the emperor of the Qin Dynasty can be stably passed to the third generation and become a century-old empire.

"Does Zongzheng have a way to deal with it?"

Yingwu's smile became a little intriguing: "Your Majesty can marry Li Shiyun!" ”

I looked at Yingwu in amazement: "Why did Zongzheng say this?" ”

Let's not talk about anything else, in history, Fusu married Li Si's daughter, what was the result? If you don't kill Li Si in the same way!

Ying Wu said with a solemn face: "If the emperor is alive, even if His Majesty marries Li Shiyun, he may not be able to control Li Si, because ...... The old minister didn't say much. Now it's different, Your Majesty has ascended the throne, and Li Shiyun marries Your Majesty, which is much heavier than marrying Ying Tao to Li Jie! After all, the foreign minister is no better than the insider, and this will be more able to contain Li Si than Li You and Li Jie's high-ranking officials. ”

I took a deep breath to calm myself down. Yingwu said it well, marriage, as a marriage method that prevails in the elite class, pays attention to the right family and knows the roots, which is not unreasonable. No matter how many princesses I marry to Li Si's son, it can't compare to me marrying Li Si's daughter directly.

But......

I frowned: "Zongzheng, is there any other way?" ”

Ying Wu sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "It's not the old minister's words, if Your Majesty wants to kill Li Si, the old minister has countless ways. But if you want to use Li Si, there is nothing else that can impress him. ”

I was speechless, and said slowly for a long time: "I want to think about it." ”

Ying Wu looked at my expression and guessed, "Your Majesty already has someone you like?" ”

I smiled helplessly and didn't hide it: "Zong Zheng is aware of everything, the daughter of Ba Widow Qing, Ba Taoyao." I'm going to marry her after I get crowned. ”

Ying Wu didn't have a surprised expression, and said happily: "Lao Chen knows her, this child is a good choice to support a family business as big as Ba Shi alone." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "Doesn't Zongzheng think there's anything wrong with me marrying a businessman who is six years older than me?" ”

You must know that in this era, the concept of Shinong industry and commerce, and the concept of lowly businessmen is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, not to mention that after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Qin State was unprecedentedly strict with the prohibition of merchants. Trade with the Western Regions is a major matter involving diplomatic relations, so no one resolutely opposes it, even so, Yu He often chatters with me.

Yingwu shook his head, and the old god was saying: "I think my Empress Dowager Qin Xuan was born poor, but she is only the eighth son of King Huiwen." So what? For the sake of Daqin, he did not hesitate to use the dignity of the mother of the country to lure and destroy Yiqu...... Ahem, it's far away. ”

I was speechless for a while, in front of Yingzheng's son, it was okay to talk about Yingzheng's great-grandmother......

Yingwu continued: "What the old minister means is that a gentleman does not have to be rigid about his background when choosing a wife, if he can set an example for women in the world, why not marry him?" Such as Li Ji, Xia Ji and the like, although you are a princess, look like a fairy, but Xia Ji charmed the monarch, died Chen Guo, three times for the queen, seven times to marry as a wife, adultery with people is commonplace, even if this kind of woman is noble, how can she be the wife of the emperor? ”

I smiled with relief, I didn't expect Yingwu to be quite open-minded, even in the relatively open Qin Dynasty, it was quite rare.

"However," Yingwu said, "The old minister wants to remind His Majesty that if His Majesty really wants to accept him as a concubine, he must first remove him from his business status." Moreover, it can be made a concubine, but not a queen. Therefore, the old minister still hopes that His Majesty will carefully consider Li Shiyun's matter, and the position of queen is not Li Shiyun, but also Feng Shiyun and Wang Shiyun...... The fate of this emperor is also. ”

I was silent and did not answer, and my heart was full of emotion.

"I see, thank you Zongzheng."

After thinking about it, I continued: "What does Zong Zheng think about Feng Zheng's person? "After that, I told Yingwu about Feng Quji's request to remove Feng Zhengzuo from his post as prime minister before he died.

After Ying Wu listened, he smiled: "Feng Quji is right, this kid is a loyal minister, not a capable minister." ”

"Oh?" I'm a little surprised, Feng Zheng and Meng Yi grew up watching him, and he must know Feng Zheng very well, does he also think that Feng Zheng is incapable?

"I think Feng Zheng is quite capable in handling things, but sometimes he is a little ...... Unreliable, what does Zong Zheng mean by this? ”

Yingwu touched his beard and said with a smile: "What Your Majesty said is good, Feng Zheng is nearly forty years old, but he often has a youthful heart, and he is farther away than Li Si in terms of handling things and scheming. However, sometimes it doesn't matter whether a courtier is capable or not, because a capable courtier will inevitably make countless enemies in the court, such as Li Si. A courtier like Feng Zao, who is kind to people on weekdays, can mediate for His Majesty when he encounters difficulties. Feng Quji, he is afraid that Feng Zheng's heart will be used, and he is also deeply affectionate. ”

I nodded, got up and said, "I understand, thank Zongzheng again." ”

Yingwu beckoned, and his subordinates immediately came in to help him get up: "The old minister is going to be unreasonable, what I said to Your Majesty today is the last suggestion of the old minister." ”

No one else would or would dare to tell me this.

Looking back on the history of the Qin State, Yingqu Liang and Yingqian, Yingsi and Yinghua, Yingji, Yingdang and Yingji, which generation of kings is not exhausted, which siblings are not brothers, friends and brothers, and then to the Yingwu in front of him, it is simply intolerable that the Qin State does not unify the world.

I stood up and saluted respectfully, and said from the bottom of my heart: "Xie Zongzheng! ”

Saying goodbye to Yingwu, I had a lot of thoughts on the way back.
