Chapter 444: Suppression
Using rewards to appease people's hearts and attract people's hearts with better scenery is a good strategy that Lin Ze told Hu Hai when he first entered Chang'an.
Now it seems that the effect is not bad, just looking at the faces of this group of civil and military officials in the hall, he can't help but be happy and expectant, Lin Ze knows that this chess move is very right.
Especially the temptation of hereditary replacement, although it is difficult for most people in the temple to have the opportunity to obtain this reward, they can't resist the desire in their hearts.
Just like in later generations, everyone knows that the probability of winning 5 million is very low, but there are still a lot of people who want to make a big deal with a small one?
No matter what time it is, the power of sugar-coated cannonballs cannot be ignored.
At the same time, according to the previous promise, Hu Haixin promoted some officials, most of whom had secretly defected to him a long time ago, and now that Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, they naturally got the early returns.
Even because of Hu Hai's promises, they will naturally become Hu Hai's diehard loyalists, and become Hu Hai's nails embedded in the court and controlled by the court.
In a similar time and space in later generations, why was Hu Hai easily overtaken by Li Si and Zhao Gao? It was not because he was young and had no foundation in the court.
Lin Ze's earlier layout was largely for this to a large extent, and as for how useful it was, Lin Ze didn't dare to guarantee it.
However, Lin Ze was not very worried about this, as long as he succeeded in advancing to the Grandmaster, he would not have to worry about this situation, if he had not advanced to the Grandmaster, even if Hu Hai was set up, he would not have any extra moves.
After the reward, it was the official court meeting, first of all, the three princes and nine secretaries headed by Li Si reported to the new emperor Hu Hai some important situations in the empire recently, and there were several important matters that required the new emperor to nod himself.
Although Hu Hai didn't know how to deal with it, Li Si, as the prime minister, had already given a few solutions, and to put it bluntly, he only needed to do a multiple-choice question.
It took almost an hour for this debriefing to end, which also indicates that most of the process of the court meeting has been completed, and then the final stage is followed.
Just like in the TV series, Huang took a step forward and shouted in a shrill voice: "It's not early, Your Majesty has an order, there is something to play, and there is nothing to retreat." ”
Because it was the first court meeting of the new emperor, the officials present had almost no intention of playing to Hu Hai, and just waited for the court to retire as soon as possible and go back to study how to obtain the new title issued by the new emperor.
At this time, Li Si stood up, bowed to Hu Hai and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." ”
Hu Hai replied quietly: "Accurate." ”
Li Si stood up straight and said in a deep voice: "The first emperor returned to heaven at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, which is really beyond our expectations, although the construction time of the Lishan Mausoleum is not short, but as far as the minister knows, it still does not meet the requirements of the first emperor before his death, so the minister implores His Majesty to arrange for someone to continue to build the Lishan Mausoleum to comfort the spirit of the first emperor in the sky." ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers couldn't help but buzz, how could the prime minister suddenly propose to continue the construction of the Lishan Mausoleum? Especially on the first day of the new emperor's accession to the throne, he didn't care about the feelings of the new emperor?
Hu Hai's face suddenly gloomy when he heard this, and he said coldly: "I'm afraid this is not very good, not long after my father's coffin entered the Lishan Mausoleum, you and others are building on it, I'm afraid it will shock the peace of my father." ”
Li Si shook his head and said: "No, the minister thinks that His Majesty's repair of the Lishan Mausoleum for the first emperor is a manifestation of filial piety, and I hope Your Majesty will consider it carefully." ”
Hu Hai turned to the other officials and asked, "What do you think?"
Zhao Gao took a step forward and said, "The minister seconded the proposal." ”
Hu Hai frowned when he heard this, and then returned to normal, sweeping away the other officials, but because Li Si and Zhao Gao came out first, most of the people in the palace expressed their approval, and a small part expressed silence, and none of the ministers objected.
In the end, Hu Hai stopped his eyes on Lin Ze.
Lin Ze couldn't help but smile bitterly, the other party is powerful, and under the pretense of righteousness, it's useless for you to look at me.
As if hearing Lin Ze's heart, Hu Hai retracted his gaze, forced himself to maintain a calm look with the city government that he had cultivated for many years, and said: "Since everyone has expressed their approval of the prime minister's proposal, let's follow what the prime minister said." Funds were allocated from the national treasury to build the Lishan Mausoleum to the style that his father had expected during his lifetime. ”
After hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Si's mouth, and he replied flatly: "Your Majesty is wise." ”
The corners of Hu Hai's mouth twitched, what does this mean that if he doesn't agree, he will not be wise?
I saw Li Si continue: "Since Your Majesty has promised to continue to build the Lishan Mausoleum, why don't you also determine the person in charge." ”
"The minister recommended the new Shaofu Lin Ze as the person in charge, for three reasons, first, the construction of the emperor's mausoleum should have been the responsibility of the Shaofu, and Lin Shaofu had the responsibility to do so. ”
"Second, Lin Shaofu is His Majesty's confidant, and he will only be more attentive to the construction of the mausoleum of the first emperor. ”
"Third, Lin Shaofu ascended to a high position at a young age, and he needs to be tempered more before he can become a pillar of the empire. ”
"I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"
When Lin Ze heard this, the corner of his eyes jumped suddenly, Ten years of building the Lishan Mausoleum? This Li Si is suppressing me undisguised.
Ten years, compared to the lifespan of more than two or three hundred years for a six-rank martial artist, it is naturally nothing.
But in front of him, Hu Hai had just ascended to the throne, and Lin Ze, as his confidant, should have been the time to show his strength, but he was going to be transferred out of the power center for ten years.
Once Lin Ze was transferred out of Chang'an for ten years and away from Hu Hai's side, who could guarantee that Hu Hai, as the emperor, would still be able to remember some friendship at that time?
Moreover, as the emperor, Hu Hai will never lack talents around him, and he has been marginalized for ten years, even if Hu Hai still remembers Lin Ze, there will be no good position left for him.
Or is this the only thing that Li Si has to do?
In ten years, if there is any accident in the construction of the Lishan Mausoleum, Li Si will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, and Lin Ze, who has lost the protection of Hu Hai, will have nothing to resist?
Before Hu Hai could respond, Zhao Gao stood up and arched his hand and said, "The minister thinks what the prime minister said makes sense. ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked, and the two giants actually attacked the new Shaofu at the same time, it seems that this Shaofu Lord is in a bad situation.
Lin Ze didn't say a word, just looked at Hu Hai calmly, in this case, unless Hu Hai came forward and resolutely kept him in Chang'an, he might not have to guard the lonely Lishan Mountain.
Hu Hai had a look of hesitation on his face, glanced at Lin Ze, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered the dead Fusu, and then turned his head away, and spit out two words clearly in his mouth: "Quasi-play." ”
Lin Ze's eyelids drooped, hiding his gloomy color under his eyelids, to be honest, he didn't care about Li Si and Zhao Gao's deliberate suppression, because he knew that he couldn't fight against the two grandmasters now.
Even after seeing the power of the grandmaster, Lin Zeneng was sure that his strength was vulnerable in front of the grandmaster.
Similarly, for him, it is nothing to go to Lishan to build an imperial mausoleum for ten years, Lin Ze actually doesn't care much about power, or that sentence, as long as he is promoted to grandmaster, everything will change, and even the so-called ten years are just a joke.
With the momentum of the grandmaster, who would dare to suppress him?
What Lin Ze cared about was Hu Hai's attitude, even on the issue of continuing to build the Lishan Mausoleum for Emperor Qin, he asked for the opinions of others, and finally had to make a decision.
And in this matter of him, as soon as Zhao Gao spoke, Hu Hai easily responded, and didn't even ask him more.
