I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

chapter 101

Not at all.

These high officials are all human beings, how could they be so kind?

Zichan could see all this clearly in his heart.

They are not afraid of the spread of the disease, they are clearly afraid that their own interests will be lost.

After all, once the four gates are reopened, on the one hand, if the disease in the city breaks out again, the probability of them or their clansmen in Zhengyi becoming infected will be high.

On the other hand, if the news of Zheng Yi's illness went to the countryside, would their fiefdoms still be safe and sound?At that time, don't you have to suffer losses?
So, to say that these ministers are all for the sake of the people in the city?It's better to say that each has his own ghosts, and just yelled a few more hard at Gongsun Hei's mouth.

Moreover, they didn't know that this so-called "disease" was not a natural disaster at all, but a man-made disaster.

Therefore, in their consciousness, the rapid spread of this disease is really too terrifying.It would be fine if the high-incidence areas in the west and south of the city could be controlled in time.But once the city gate is opened, pedestrians will flow around at that time, and it is uncertain where they will go.

They may not care about other people's lives, but they care more than anyone else when it comes to their own interests.

This is probably their mental activity at the moment.

Zichan and Hanhu looked at each other indiscriminately, and they both shook their heads slightly with helplessness on their faces.

Neither Zi Chan nor Han Hu could object to Si Hei's proposal on this occasion.

Because Si Hei's topic and his words can be said to fully interpret the brilliance of human nature and the nobility of morality. Even Zi Chan and Han Hu can't find any flaws in it.

And all the senior officials naturally chose to stand on Si Hei's side for the sake of the present struggle.

If it is said that Si Hei's proposal itself is not that important, then Han Hu needs to be more cautious about the second proposal of other ministers.

After all, it is "the strength of many people".This proverb can actually be used anywhere. For 5000 years in China, just this one sentence can explain everything.

Although Hanhu is the head of the country and Zichan is the ruling minister, but in the face of today's one-sided court situation, what they can do is actually very limited.

Just like the current situation, when almost everyone agrees with Si Hei's proposal, even though Han Hu has always supported Zi Chan, he has to temporarily change his mind at this time.

"Zichan, what do you think?"

So he wisely threw this question back to Zichan. After all, Zichan was the secretary of state. How to make a decision on this matter would ultimately depend on his opinion.

Hearing the sound, Zichan certainly understood what Hanhu meant.

Since the people in the court are all opinions on continuing to seal the four doors, if he insists on lifting the ban alone, he will naturally offend all the officials in the court.

Hanhu asked him to express his position at this time, in fact, it was to give him a step, not to make the matter stalemate in front of all the officials.

"Back to the country, since all the doctors think that continuing the ban is the best policy, what else can you say?"

Now all the ministers are demanding to continue the ban, no matter how capable Liang Zichan is, it is impossible for him to commit such public anger.

Although Zichan already knows the ins and outs of the situation well, but right now he can only follow the path.

On the other hand, Si Hei is a person who can't hide things after all.This time he succeeded, his fleshy face immediately showed a look of complacency.

The smile gradually rose, his eyes swept over, and he became even more arrogant.

"Since this is the case, let's not make any changes for the time being. In addition, I ask Dr. Zichan to do his best to completely control the spread of the disease in the shortest possible time!"

Han Hu's pressure can also be imagined, the position of the country is really not easy to take.

……

After the court meeting ended, Han Hu privately sent someone to find Zichan again, and invited him to come to Han's mansion for a talk.The two sat down in the courtyard of Han Mansion, and whispered secretly:
"Uncle Shi, Hu is already a little worried. I wonder if Uncle Shi is confident that he can handle the current situation?"

There was no one around, but the sound of "Uncle Shi" made the two of them very close.

Because of today's court meeting, Rare Hujian Zichan has always been relatively weak today, and he has not shown the kind of unambiguous courage he had in the past.Therefore, I couldn't help but feel a little worried about him.

"Thank you Zipi for your concern. I'm fine."

"This matter is still under Qiao's control, please rest assured."

Of course, Zichan's showing weakness was not without reason, and he naturally had his reasons for doing so.

It's just that the time is not yet ripe, so of course he can't say it casually.

Han Hu couldn't help but nodded and said:
"If so, that would be great."

"However... These days, rumors are spreading in the city, which is very unfavorable to Uncle Shi. Hu has also sent people to investigate secretly, but it is a pity that little has been obtained."

"Someone must have done this on purpose, Uncle Shi should be more careful."

Hanhu's keen political sense also quickly realized that the disease may not be as simple as ordinary people see it.

But due to his status as a country, he couldn't be on the front line.And the current situation is extremely complicated.There are all kinds of intelligence and gossip, which is simply dazzling.Therefore, all these made him seem at a loss and at a loss for what to do.

However, his years of experience in politics told him that the investigation of this whole matter was full of obstacles.That must be because there must be another article behind all this.

Therefore, he is also kindly reminding Zichan, hoping that he can make every step of the way, and never show his flaws, so as not to let others take advantage of it.

"Well, what Zipi said is very true, and Qiao has always had this impression. Everything needs to be handled with caution."

"Since the current ban is continued, at least on the surface, it is not bad for the people of Zhengyi. But if someone deliberately provokes trouble secretly, Qiao should deal with it strictly."

"only…"

At this point, Zichan seemed a little embarrassed and couldn't continue talking.

Hanhu waved his hand and said:
"Uncle Shi, but it doesn't matter."

When Zichan heard the sound, he sighed:
"It's just that, if someone really did this on purpose, then his influence will be deeply rooted in Zheng's country. Now in Zhengyi's territory, there are only a handful of people with such influence."

"The so-called move the whole body with one hair, even if the matter can be found out by then, I'm afraid it will be difficult to completely get rid of the behind-the-scenes. I don't know what Zipi's intentions are?"

In fact, both he and Hanhu knew in their hearts that the so-called disease was man-made.

But the difficulty is that even if they all understand that this is man-made, they can't get it on the stage to explain it clearly.

This is very similar to what Li Ran experienced in the Lu State. Even if Li Ran and Uncle Sun Bao knew that the former prince Ji Ye was assassinated by the Ji family with deep roots in Lu State, what they could do was still very limited.

Zichan and Hanhu's current situation is generally not too different.

"Alas... Speaking of which, it's really difficult..."

Hanhu sighed slightly, but he couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds.

After a while of silence, he suddenly asked:

"By the way, where is that Li Ran in the city? Have you talked to him about this?"

"To tell you the truth, this matter was investigated by him, and he was just acting as a coordinator."

Zichan bowed his hands and said, looking a little ashamed.

Hanhu was startled when he heard the sound, and then suddenly said:
"I see…"

"Since that's the case, then why don't you ask him for his opinion?"
