Chapter 1175 The Naive Zhang Han [Subscribe*Subscribe for monthly tickets]

"It would be a waste of your talent if you don't become a eunuch!"

For the first time, Zhang Han understood what loyalty meant.

Compared with Hei Bai Xuan Jian, their loyalty seems so worthless.

If I were Ying Zheng, I would definitely like and promote Hei Bai Xuan Jian.

As for slander and defamation, they are nothing compared to the loyalty of Hei Bai Xuan Jian.

It is no wonder that the number of memorials impeaching Bai Hei Xuan Jian from the Censorate became fewer and fewer, while the number of memorials impeaching him increased.

Because the censors and imperial inspectors are not stupid. They know that they can't deal with the black and white Xuan Jian, so they will naturally take advantage of the weak.

It was obvious that among the two intelligence chiefs, he was the softer persimmon in the eyes of the censors and imperial censors.

In the past, he thought that it was because Hei Bai Xuan Jian was familiar with Wang Wan, and because he had the title of Marquis, the court officials all gave Hei Bai Xuan Jian this face.

Now it seems that it is entirely because I am easier to control.

"This Daqin, I can eat it for eternity!"

Hei Bai Xuan Jian smiled, waved his hand behind his back to Zhang Han, and strode away.

"You don't understand this officialdom!" Li Yao also appeared beside Zhang Han and sighed.

To be in the officialdom, you must either be valuable or so important that no one can replace you, like An Qisheng and Li Yao.

Either your prestige is very high, so high that even the king dare not touch you easily, such as the leaders of the various schools of thought.

However, the requirements for both are too high, and most people do not have the ability to do so.

Then the easiest thing to do is to become a lone minister!
Hei Bai Xuan Jian belongs to this type of minister.

It can provide the king with full emotional value without causing any trouble to him.

The former two are prone to accidents, but the latter is absolutely safe as long as the king is still there.

"Wouldn't this make him a traitor?" Zhang Han looked at Li Yao doubtfully.

"So what? As long as Your Majesty is in power, even if he becomes a traitor, he will be a big traitor and no one can touch him." Li Yao said with a smile.

Do you really think it's so easy to be a treacherous villain?

Ordinary people can’t even become one if they want to!

What's more, as long as Hei Bai Xuan Jian is not stupid and does not touch the bottom line of the court officials, everyone will only regard him as a villain who is good at flattery, and everyone will turn a blind eye to him and will not take the initiative to provoke him.

After all, a villain may not be able to accomplish anything great, but he can prevent you from accomplishing what you want to do.

Look at the three dukes and nine ministers of Qin, people like Wang Jian, Wei Liaozi, and Xiong Qi, all of them treated Hei Bai Xuan Jian with courtesy and did not provoke him.

He may not be able to help you do anything big, but if you mess with him, he can find a thousand ways to prevent you from accomplishing what you want to do.

It is like the army marching south. If it does not provoke Black and White Xuan Jian, the army can march normally.

Once you provoke Hei Bai Xuan Jian, he can paralyze the army's intelligence and reconnaissance system, and every now and then he will tell Ying Zheng that you have your own army and are powerful enough.

By then, even Wang Jian will be in trouble.

This is why it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain.

Among the court officials, apart from the idle censors and reviewers who would provoke Black and White Xuan Jian, who among the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, various government offices and local prefectures would take the initiative to provoke Black and White Xuan Jian?
If Zhang Han had half the awareness of Bai Hei Xuan Jian, he would not have submitted so many impeachment memorials.

Favors will be exhausted sooner or later. If a new way to maintain the relationship between the two sides cannot be found, Zhang Han will sooner or later be transferred away from Xianyang, leave the Shadow Guard, and may even be unable to serve as the Shaofu.

Without these identities, who would take a second look at him?

"Or, I'll resign from the post of Shaofu and the commander of the Shadow Secret Guard and go to the Prince's Palace!" Zhang Han finally thought. The court is too scary. The three dukes and nine ministers are all a bunch of old foxes. In the past, Hei Bai Xuan Jian was his brother in distress. Who knew that Hei Bai Xuan Jian secretly rolled inward and became a master!

It would be better for him to go to the Prince's Mansion to practice with that group of young people before returning to Xianyang.

"What are you thinking about?" Li Yao was speechless. What a naive person.

If it weren't for Ying Zheng's protection, Zhang Han would have died many times.

"You are now the commander of the Shadow Secret Guard, the head of His Majesty's secret guards, and the Shaofu, one of the Nine Ministers of the Great Qin. What kind of status and position do you think the Prince's Mansion can give you when you go to it?" Li Yao felt a little tired.

"I can be the Prince's Guardian!" Zhang Han said seriously.

"There is one around the prince. Although I am not sure which faction he belongs to, you should know that as the successor of the Qin Dynasty, the faction groups around the prince have already been divided."

Li Yao really thinks Zhang Han is too naive.

Do you really think there is no one around Fusu?
Those generals, Ji Bu, Ying Bu, Wu Rui and others represented the forces of Bingzhou and Chu, Meng Yi represented the military and old aristocrats of Qin, and Xiong Qi represented the matriarchal line and the royal family of Qin. Not everyone was qualified to become a member of the crown prince's team.

The big cake of the prince's team's power was actually divided up by various forces from the very beginning.

If Zhang Han wants to interfere now, he will only take away other people's cake and increase his political enemies.

Didn’t you see that even the black and white Xuan Jian were not mixed in?
Now Zhang Han is the Shaofu, one of the Nine Ministers of the Qin Dynasty, and represents the direct lineage of Ying Zheng, so no one will touch him.

But he left on his own initiative and went to touch other people's cakes, which was just seeking death.

If he dares to resign today, the impeachment memorial against him tomorrow will not be piled up in the Censorate, but will appear directly on Ying Zheng's desk.

"If you don't understand anything, you might as well learn from Lord Xuan Jian. Lord Xuan Jian found Yang Duanhe to learn from, and you can go find Lord Tonggu." Li Yao suggested.

After all, in addition to being the host of the reform and the chief judge, Li Si also served as the builder of the Imperial Mausoleum of Mount Li. This position required dealings with the Shaofu, and was also the hub of contact between Zhang Han and Li Si. Using this as an excuse to get together with Li Si, even the censors could not find a reason to impeach him.

"Lord Tonggu?" Zhang Han was a little confused.

Li Si offended too many people.

Getting too close to Li Si at this time would be tantamount to seeking death.

Just because people don't dare to touch Li Si doesn't mean they don't dare to move him.

"You're still too young!" Li Yao sighed.

"You are the leader of His Majesty's secret guards, the Shaofu, and His Majesty's man, while Li Si is following His Majesty's orders to carry out reforms. The two of you are natural political allies."

"Because you are the leader of the secret guards, Lord Tonggu will not take the initiative to look for you in order to avoid suspicion."

"It doesn't mean you can't take the initiative to find him."

"You took the initiative to find Master Tonggu. To outsiders, it seemed that this was His Majesty's intention. It was His Majesty who was supporting Master Tonggu from behind."

"So, no one will say anything to you. If His Majesty knew, he would just think that you understand him and know how to share His Majesty's worries."

“???” Zhang Han was stunned. How could such a small action involve so many complicated things?
"Lord Tonggu is going to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. What can I do?" Zhang Han hesitated.

Li Si was determined to die before he could become the leader of this reform and the first to step forward.

But he had no awareness of his mortality.

"So you are too young, and you underestimate the status of the Shadow Secret Guard Commander and the Shaofu."

"It is precisely because you know nothing that you need allies and an external brain."

"It just so happens that Lord Tonggu has the political sensitivity that you don't have."
