Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 462 Fusu asks Lin Xuan for his candidate! Lin Xuan recommends Xiao He!

Han Xin nodded slightly when he heard Meng Yi's words. He only thought that Meng Yi was suitable for this position.

The situation of the Meng family was not taken into consideration. If Meng Yi was really made the person in charge of road construction, it would indeed arouse jealousy from other ministers.

This is indeed not good news for the Meng family.

Fusu, who was sitting in the main seat, nodded slightly. He was also thinking about recommending Meng Yi for this position.

But he gave up the idea when he remembered that his teacher had told him that the Meng family should keep a low profile.

"Han Xin understood what Shangqing Meng Yi said. Since Shangqing Meng Yi does not want to take this position."

"I recommend General Wang Ben. Han Xin has worked with General Wang Ben on the border before."

"Although General Wang Ben is a military commander, he is very thoughtful and is very suitable to be the person in charge of road construction."

"Sir, I recommend General Wang Ben for this position."

Han Xin looked at Fusu and recommended Wang Ben again.

Fusu smiled when he heard Han Xin's words and said, "General Han Xin, you may not know this."

“The Wang family has always been low-key, and this position is so eye-catching.”

"Even if Wang Ben wanted to be in charge of building the road, his father, General Wang Jian, would not agree."

"When conquering the six kingdoms, General Wang Jian did this to reassure my father."

"He repeatedly asked the emperor for rewards, so that the emperor and the ministers in the court would be assured of him."

"After the unification of the Qin Dynasty, General Wang Jian, who had countless military exploits, rarely left the mansion bestowed upon the Wang family by his father."

"Old General Wang Jian rarely meets with other ministers and generals."

"Once General Wang Jian knows this news, he will definitely ask Wang Ben to refuse."

Fusu looked at Han Xin and told Wang Ben the reasons why he could not agree.

Lin Xuan, who was sitting aside, was drinking fine wine, looking very relaxed.

Lin Xuan admired General Wang Jian, who was more accomplished than his master but did not arouse the First Emperor's fear.

In addition to the fact that Qin Shihuang himself had the magnanimity to tolerate others, another reason was that Wang Jian had self-knowledge.

He will not be arrogant and do whatever he wants just because of his merits.

Even the ministers in the court admired Wang Jian very much and could not find any fault with him.

The same is true of the Wang family's family style. Wang Ben and Wang Li are both very low-key.

The other children of the Wang family never cause trouble outside.

When Han Xin heard Fusu's words, there was a hint of disappointment on his face.

He recommended Meng Yi and Wang Ben successively, but both were rejected.

Han Xin highly approved of the Qin Dynasty's road construction, and he also knew that the person in charge of road construction was very important.

If Han Xin didn't know that he was not capable of holding this position, he would have taken the initiative to recommend himself to the prince.

Meng Tian, ​​who was sitting opposite Han Xin, looked at Lin Xuan who was drinking wine without saying a word.

He said, "Mr. Lin Xuan is so calm, I guess he already has a candidate in mind!"

After Meng Tian finished speaking, Fusu and several others looked at Lin Xuan.

"Teacher, who do you think is the most suitable person to be in charge of building the road?"

Fusu looked at his teacher Lin Xuan and asked.

Hearing Fusu's words, Lin Xuan smiled and put down the wine bottle in his hand, looking at the few people and said:

"The position of person in charge of road construction is very important. He decides whether the road construction can be completed faster and whether the quality of the road is good or bad."

"More importantly, building roads requires a lot of money, which is a great temptation for those responsible for building roads."

"So the person in charge must convince the ministers in the court and keep his original intention and not do anything that would let down the Qin Dynasty."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and the others and expressed his thoughts.

Fusu, Meng Tian and others nodded slightly when they heard Lin Xuan's words. They agreed with Lin Xuan's statement.

Lin Xuan looked at them and said, "As Li Si is the prime minister, the ministers in the court will not question him."

"Your Majesty has also given Li Si many rewards, and Li Si does not value money." "Li Si is suitable to be the person in charge of road construction, but his official position is the prime minister, the head of all officials."

"This means that Li Si cannot take this position."

Fusu and others nodded slightly when they heard Lin Xuan's words. Li Si was indeed suitable for this position, but the official position was too high and he could not take it.

Lin Xuan continued, "In addition to Li Si, I think Xiao He can be the person in charge of building the road."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu, Meng Tian and others and mentioned Xiao He's name.

"Xiao He?"

When Fusu, Meng Tian and others heard Lin Xuan's words, there was a hint of surprise on their faces.

"Teacher, why do you think Xiao He is suitable to be the person in charge of building the road?"

Fusu looked at Lin Xuan and asked his own questions.

Meng Tian, ​​Han Xin and others nodded slightly. They had the same idea as Fusu.

Lin Xuan heard Fusu's question and said, "Xiao He served as the chief examiner of the imperial examination."

"It made the imperial examination system run very smoothly and selected some talents for the Qin Dynasty."

"Your Majesty also praised Xiao He in front of other ministers in Qilin Hall."

"Other ministers also recognized Xiao He's talents because of the imperial examination."

"Apart from his ability, Xiao He doesn't care much about money."

"As the chief invigilator, many people secretly gave gifts to Xiao He, hoping to help their people pass the exam."

"Xiao He did not accept any gifts and selected talents fairly and impartially."

"This also proves that Xiao He is not a greedy person."

"In that case, why can't Xiao He be the person in charge of building the road?"

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and others and told them the reason why he recommended Xiao He.

Fusu and others were stunned for a moment when they heard Lin Xuan's words, but they soon reacted.

"Sir, you are right. Xiao He is indeed suitable for this position."

"I also agree with the person recommended by you. This position should be given to Xiao He."

Han Xin and Meng Tian spoke up to agree with Lin Xuan's proposal.

Fusu, who was sitting in the main seat, nodded slightly and listened to the explanation of his teacher Lin Xuan.

He also understood why the teacher recommended Xiao He.

"I understand what you said, teacher. Tomorrow morning, I will recommend Xiao He to the emperor as the person in charge of road construction."

Fusu looked at Lin Xuan and expressed his thoughts.

Lin Xuan smiled when he heard Fusu's words. He knew that Fusu would agree to the person he recommended.

"Sir, should we send someone to invite Xiao He here to inform him of this matter?"

"To prevent Xiao He from being unprepared and acting out of control when the young master recommends him to the court tomorrow morning."

Han Xin looked at Fusu and expressed his thoughts.

After hearing Han Xin's words, Fusu looked at his teacher Lin Xuan and said, "Teacher, what do you think?"

The others looked at Lin Xuan, and the hall became quiet again.

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "I think what General Han Xin said makes sense."

"Tomorrow morning, the young master will ask His Majesty to select a minister to be in charge of building the road."

"There will definitely be ministers who want to take this position if Xiao He is not prepared."

"Your Majesty may send another minister to this position, and then your idea will fail."

"It's better to tell Xiao He in advance. It's a good opportunity to hear Xiao He's own thoughts."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and agreed with Han Xin's proposal.
