Chapter 1176 Li Yao's Way of Survival [Please subscribe*Please vote]

"People should know themselves. Lord Xuan Jian is a lone minister, so he does not need allies and does not care what others think of him."

"You are different. You can't be a lone minister, and you don't have the cunning of those old foxes, so why don't you find yourself an external brain?"

"Join the reformers and become one of them. If you encounter problems, they will help you solve them instead of facing the treacherous court alone with your limited political wisdom."

Li Yao said seriously.

As I said, to survive in this world, you need strength and background.

Zhang Han was a direct descendant of Ying Zheng and was naturally suited to be a lone minister, but he clearly did not have this awareness.

Therefore, instead of being unpopular both inside and outside, it is better to join the reformists who are also the lone ministers.

In this way, even if something happens in the future, Li Si, the Supreme Court, and the reform forces will not sit idly by, because that is not only targeting Zhang Han personally, but also a provocation to their force.

Of course, there is a price to pay, which is that the threats faced by the reformers' forces will be shared equally with Zhang Han.

But compared with Zhang Han fighting alone, what is the risk of this being flattened?

"Then which power group does Lord Li Yao belong to?" Zhang Han looked at Li Yao puzzledly.

"I am different from you grassroots!" Li Yao said with a smile.

"Although Zhao and Qin were once enemies, it does not mean that our Li family is at odds with Qin. My grandfather Li Tan was the Marquis of Bairen in Zhao and made great contributions in fighting against the Hu people. My father Li Chong followed my grandfather as an envoy to the Great Qin and was valued by King Zhao. He stayed in Longxi to resist the nomadic people of the Western Rong. He was appointed as the governor of Longxi and was granted the title of Marquis of Didao."

"And because of my family background, I inherited my father's title and became the governor of Nanjun. I also had a good son. Then he became a great man later in life and was promoted to the position of Internal History of Grain and was granted the title of Marquis Che!"

Zhang Han also realized that the Longxi Li family seemed to have so many titles that they had no extra offspring to inherit.

The title left by Li Chong was initially inherited by Li Yao, but Li Yao was a late bloomer. He surpassed his father's title by relying on his military merits and political achievements, and was awarded the highest rank of Chehou. Li Xin was also awarded the title of marquis by virtue of his military merits.

It also means that the Longxi Li family actually has three marquisate titles to inherit.

It’s just that... the Longxi Li family doesn’t seem to have that many descendants to inherit.

"So, I am really different from you grassroots people. My Li family has long been naturalized and integrated into the Qin State, becoming a long-established aristocratic family in Qin State, and my son Li Xin is also a direct descendant of your majesty..."

Li Yao spread his hands and asked, "Do I still need to take a position?"

Wherever I stand, that is my influence.

I am not only an indispensable person, but also one of the people with great influence in Daqin.

No matter how the court changes, people like him will always be able to sit firmly on the throne.

This is the difference between the top dignitaries and the grassroots.

Li Si, Zhang Han and others spent their entire lives trying to achieve nothing more than what Li Yao and others had when they were born.

Li Si and his people wanted to work hard and burn themselves out to become the first generation, and let their descendants become the second generation like Li Yao.

As soon as Li Yao was born, he was already at the pinnacle of this game of power.

"My Lord, what is your purpose in teaching me this?" Zhang Han wondered.

There is no support without reason, and no love without blood ties.

Li Yao said so much to him, it is impossible that she didn't want anything.

"Not everything requires a return. It's like investing. No one can say that they are 100% profitable. I remind you that you are in a high position at a young age. You have a promising future. If you have a son, you can make a good relationship. If my Li family has problems in the future, there will be one more person to help."

Li Yao said with a smile.

He would remind Zhang Han, simply because Zhang Han was still young and had a long way to go in the future. No one in the court could be sure that he would not get into trouble in the future, nor would his offspring get into trouble.

Make good connections so that if something happens, you won’t be alone and helpless.

This is also the way for the nobility to survive.

"Zhang Han will always remember your kindness in supporting me today!" Zhang Han moved.

This is the gap between the grassroots and the aristocracy.

If they fail once, everything will be reset to zero, but Li Yao and his team can fail many times.

This is why everyone wants to move up, and they all hope that their family can become a family like Li Yao and his.

Descendants of Fumian!

"Come on, young man!" Li Yao left with a smile.

He would remind Zhang Han, actually he was doing it for Ying Zheng and Li Si to see. After all, Zhang Han was Ying Zheng's man, otherwise he would not have become the leader of the Shadow Guard.

He was just telling Ying Zheng that no matter what the old Qin aristocrats did, they, the Longxi Li family, would always stand on Ying Zheng's side.

If there are any problems with the reform in the future, the Li family will not be held responsible.

It’s just that Zhang Han obviously doesn’t understand these things yet.

If the Minister of Grain was the purse of the Qin Dynasty, then the Minister of the Imperial Household was in charge of all the projects in the country.

Therefore, Zhang Han never figured out how much power he had.

If Li Si wanted to carry out reforms, he needed the support of the Shaofu.

If the Shaofu did not support it, Li Si would find it difficult to implement the standardization of wheel gauges or build any large-scale water conservancy projects.

But with the support of the Shaofu, Li Si would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

At least now Li Si has gained the support of Zhongtingwei and Zhisuile Neishi of the Nine Ministers. If he gets the support of Shaofu, then the only ones left are Diankeqing whose power is declining, Taifu who is in charge of horse affairs, Zongzheng who is in charge of royal family, and Fengchang who is the head of the Nine Ministers.

The rest of the Weiwei and Langzhongling were military generals.

Among these four, Feng Changqing was originally Ying Zheng's man, used to divide the power of the prime minister; Zong Zheng was also the patriarch of Ying clan, and naturally supported Ying Zheng; Tai Pu, as the name suggests, was also Ying Zheng's man, the king's servant, and was also called Taizi Xima when he was the prince.

With this calculation, Zhang Han's joining meant that the reformists directly received six votes out of the nine powerful people in the Qin Dynasty, plus two abstentions, leaving only a powerless guest official.

At that time, no matter it is a big court meeting or a small court meeting, Li Si can directly say, everyone here is my people, what do you have to fight me?

So, Li Yao had actually seen this a long time ago.

Even if he didn't remind him, someone would find Zhang Han and make him see the current situation in Xianyang clearly.

Therefore, Li Yao was happy to be the angel investor, taking the initiative and establishing a good relationship with Zhang Han before anyone else found him.

"It's another day of guaranteed profit. It's lonely to be an expert. I should think of how to trick that bastard Chen Zijian!" Li Yao thought boredly.

Life without an opponent is really boring.

People still have to find something to do in order to live longer.

As for Chen Jian, who was far away in Beiye Royal City, he felt inexplicably chilled. He just looked at the account book he had received, the numbers that represented endless wealth, and didn't care about these things anymore.

I have enough capital to withstand the hardships, so why should I be afraid of any storms?
