Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 340 Innovation Chapter Zhou Chong's Treat

"Sir, you invited so many people, why didn't you invite Li Si?" Chunyu Jue couldn't understand it, and said, "Li Si is eager for success and shorthand, and his character is not very good. After all, he is kind to you. As the saying goes, Well done, you should repay the kindness of dripping water with springs, you invite Mr. Liaozi and the others to come to discuss important matters, and just exclude Li Si, this is beyond reason."

She was very thoughtful and grateful, and Zhou Chong was very moved. He took her little hand, patted the back of her hand, and said, "I am very grateful to you if you can say that. I don't invite Li Si, it's not It's because I hate him. You know what he is like. There is nothing to praise him for. He is still kind to me. Besides, if you don't look at his face, you should also look at Shuyao's face. It stands to reason that I should invite him. The reason why I didn't invite him was because of his future, not because I was ungrateful."

"What will happen to him in the future? If you don't invite him, he will get more and more involved with Ying Ning and the others. When the king is furious, he will become a sinner. The king will not kill him, but his official is very likely. Ah." Chunyujue said worriedly: "His character is not good, but his talent and learning are indeed rare. After all these years, without him running around, many things would be difficult to handle with just you, Mr. Liaozi, and Han Fei. .I mean, you can help him as much as you can. It's a pity that such a talented person doesn't need it."

Zhou Chong said with a smile: "If I don't invite him, I'm helping him. Inviting him will hurt him instead."

These words are too unbelievable, Zhou Chong clearly knew King Qin's intentions, invited Wei Liao and the others to discuss important matters, but did not invite Li Si, let him mix with Ying Ning and the others, something must happen, Chunyu Jue couldn't figure it out, Said: "Is there anyone like you to help?"

Zhou Chong nodded affirmatively, and said: "Then there's no need to talk. If I invite him to let him know the king's intentions, he won't be able to be the prime minister."

"Li Si is prime minister?" Chunyu Jue was even more surprised, and said, "Is this possible?"

Zhou Chong said with a smile: "Li Si is not the best candidate in terms of character, talent, and merit. Han Fei is much better than him in talent. It's just that Han Fei is born with a disability. A prime minister can't stammer. Say a word? A waste of time not to say it is more likely to cause ambiguity and do bad things."

Chun Yujue continued: "In terms of credit, you and Mr. Liaozi's credit is far above his. If it's either you or Mr. Liaozi, it's not Li Si's turn."

"You're right. In terms of credit, Mr. Liaozi and I are the ones who deserve the most credit. It's just that Mr. Liaozi is a noble person who doesn't know how to pay respects to a prime minister. I, you know that I have decided to go, in order to help the king complete the task of appeasing the heroes I have to step back, and it's not my turn to be a chancellor. Wang Wan's successor is less likely to be a chancellor, and only Li Si is the most suitable." Zhou Chong analyzed.

Chunyu Jue still couldn't figure it out, and said: "But his character is really hard to say, it's too bad, if he becomes the prime minister, it's hard to guarantee that nothing will happen."

Zhou Chong laughed loudly and said: "It is because of his character problems that he is the most suitable prime minister. I can tell you that not only will there be no accidents when he becomes prime minister, he will also make great contributions to the country. For the current reform There are huge benefits."

"What's the reason?" Chunyu Jue's eyes widened.

Zhou Chong explained: "The current matter is a hurdle for him. If he passes this hurdle, he will be the prime minister. If he cannot pass it, there will be no good fruit to eat. At this critical moment, I cannot invite him. Not to mention reminding him, you have to show his truest side, you can understand the reason, the king pays attention to him all the time, if I invite him to the king, he will suspect that I reminded him, and his prime minister will It's over."

Chunyujue couldn't turn the corner for a while, thought for a while, struck with a pair of jade hands, and said repeatedly: "Miao Miaomiao! The art of emperors is to make good use of gentlemen and villains. In the current situation, it is better to use villains than gentlemen! Li Si's character has shortcomings, but he has one thing that you can't compare with: he can carry out the king's intentions without compromise. At the critical moment of innovation, there are many things that may not be seen. You and Mr. Liaozi probably won't even have the heart to do it, but Li Si will do it without hesitation. If such a person doesn't ask for a chancellor, who else can he use? Mr. Xiang, how did you think of it?"

Zhou Chong laughed and said: "The king has already made arrangements. Do you remember the matter that the king scolded Li Si in front of the officials a few days ago? On the surface, it seems that the king was dissatisfied because of Li Si's wrong answer. That's the king protecting him, reminding him not to get too involved with Ying Ning and the others, and the two are also beating him, wanting him to know the majesty of the king."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Chunyu Jue repeatedly agreed, "A person like him has talent and learning, but his character is questionable. If you don't beat and beat him often, there is no guarantee that he will not do outrageous things. Your Majesty is really a sage." .”

Zhou Chong said in admiration: "The king's heroic talent is rare throughout the ages, and he may not be able to produce one in 1000 years. He is even more skilled in the emperor's mind. Gentlemen are cute, villains are hateful, but for emperors, gentlemen and villains have their own advantages. It is enough to make good use of these two kinds of people. It is precisely because of this that Guan Zhong said that a gentleman should not be a prime minister when he was sick. It is not unreasonable, but very reasonable."

Chun Yujue thought for a while, and said: "After hearing what you said, I think Li Si is also a transitional prime minister. Once the reform is over, he will offend many people, and his prime minister will come to an end. So what will happen to succeed him as prime minister?" Who is it? Mr. Liaozi, or you?" Her words can be summed up simply: Li Si has been used as a gun, and he should be thrown away as soon as the reform is completed, and another prime minister will be chosen.

Zhou Chong shook his head and said: "Neither. Mr. Liaozi stepped into the world of mortals because he couldn't bear it. He wanted to help the king rule the world and end hundreds of years of war. The world of mortals is lively, the white clouds are cold, everyone has their own love, and I have been too busy, I don’t want to go back and forth, I just want to be with you, and I am satisfied with teaching others some useful knowledge in my spare time. "

Chunyu Jue was very moved, put Zhou Chong's hand on his pretty face, and said softly: "You are good to others, and they understand in their hearts, but if it is beneficial to the world, you should still do it instead of guarding them. Man, when you aim everywhere, you can rest assured that he will be your good wife."

Zhou Chong was very moved and said: "Gou Li Sheji is life and death, if necessary, I will do it myself, but the king's innovation is successful, talents come forth in large numbers, so why bother to do everything?" Must Zhou Chong?"

Chunyu Jue looked at Zhou Chong with a happy face, and asked curiously: "Then who will be the prime minister? Gan Luo?"

Zhou Chong was not too clear about this issue. Zhou Chong knew that Xiao He was the best candidate to succeed Li Si, but this person was not yet listed on the temple, so he should find a way to promote him to the temple.Xiao He's ability to govern the country has been recognized through the ages, and it would be perfect for him to succeed Li Si.
