Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 347 Innovation Chapter Waste and Enclosure ([-])
"Your contributions, I understand in my heart, those who have merit will be rewarded, this is the iron law of the Great Qin." Qin Shihuang forbade.

Li Si has now fully understood that he himself has made a huge mistake, that is, he should not follow suit, and it may be too late to make amends. On behalf of the ministers, he said: "Your Majesty, my minister Li Si thinks that rewards for meritorious service are the foundation of the country." , but it's not that the emperor doesn't reward it, it's that the ministers are unwilling to accept it. The ministers have minor merits, but compared with Mr. Liaozi, Mr. Zhou's merits are really too small. Mr. Liaozi and Mr. Zhou are noble people. I would like to be rewarded, but the ministers dare not accept it.

"Besides, the world has just been unified, and there are still many things to do. If the minister waits and only cares about the merits and forgets what to do, wouldn't he be ashamed of the emperor and the world?"

All the ministers said in unison: "My subjects! Please don't reward the emperor!" Before, they were all focused on rewarding, but now they are all on rewarding. The only difference is that there are more role models.

"I understand your intentions in my heart." Qin Shihuang said: "But you must be rewarded for your merits. I will definitely reward you for your merits. I will reward you after this matter is discussed. Besides this, there are a few things to deal with. The first is The post of Lieutenant of the State is vacant, and Lieutenant of the State has a lot to do with it. The soldiers and horses in the world cannot be left unattended for a day. In my opinion, Zifang should be the Lieutenant of the State. Zifang, are you willing to do your best for the world?"

In ancient terms, Guowei is the "Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses". In modern terms, he is equivalent to the Minister of Defense, in charge of the army, and has a lot to do with it.

In history, Wei Liao assisted Qin Shihuang to unify China, and Zhang Liang assisted Liu Bang to bring peace to the world. Both of them were good planners. It was perfect for Zhang Liang to succeed Wei Liao as the captain of the country.

Zhang Liangqian said: "The emperor's favor, Zhang Liang is very grateful. It's just that Zhang Liang has little knowledge and qualifications, so he dare not take the post of captain of the state. Please ask the emperor to find someone else."

"Humility is certainly a virtue, but sometimes humility is not applicable." Qin Shihuang analyzed: "Mr. Liaozi is a noble man who has been fighting for several years and is exhausted. I can't force others to be easy. The position of Captain of the State is not bad, but according to my opinion, Mr. Zhou is better at government affairs. His policy theory is very clever, so it is not suitable for the position of Captain of the State. Wang Jian and Meng Wu are steady men who are able to recruit and fight well. After all, they are old. I've been fighting all my life, and I'm tired. If I want to relax, I can understand.

"Only you, Zifang, young and sharp, can make no plans, possess the talent of a commander, what's more rare is that you are good at planning and fighting, and you can look at the big picture and coordinate the overall situation. It's perfect for you to be the captain of the country. Please, Zifang don't refuse any more."

Wang Jian clasped his fists and saluted and said: "Ovary, what the emperor said is very true. Wang Jian has fought countless battles all his life, but there are not many people who can convince Wang Jian. The emperor is one, Mr. Liaozi is one, and Mr. Zhou is one. Your Zifang is also one. According to Wang Jian, Zifang has both Mr. Liaozi's strategy and Mr. Zhou's ingenuity. The position of Captain of the State can only be made difficult by Mr. Liaozi. You can’t make Mr. Liaozi difficult, can you?”

His words immediately got the support of Meng Wu Meng Tian and the others.

Zhang Liang pondered for a while, and said: "Since this is the case, Zhang Liang dares not obey orders, but where Zhang Liang can't reach, please advise."

Qin Shihuang was very happy and said: "Zifang is in charge of military affairs, so I can rest assured. Zifang, you have to understand that I use you not only because of your outstanding talents, but also because you are young and promising. I want to use a group of young and talented juniors like you to take charge of the military and political affairs of the Great Qin. In this way, it will not take long for the Great Qin to be full of talents. It will not work if the Great Qin is not strong and prosperous. I can assert here: Soon In the future, Great Qin will be rich and powerful!"

In fact, this is already preparing for Zhou Chong's strategy of "retire heroes and enter civil servants".

"Your majesty is wise!" All the ministers had to admire Qin Shihuang's far-reaching vision.

Zhang Liang said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your care, Zhang Liang dare not try his best!"

Qin Shihuang went on to say: "Unification of the world is certainly a good thing, but you should not think that the world will be peaceful from now on. I see, the Great Qin inherited the 800 years of abuses of the Zhou family, and everything is waiting to be done, and everything is waiting to be done. It is necessary to govern the world well. Hard work is required. To govern the world well, one must choose an outstanding prime minister."

The prime minister had high authority and was admired by thousands of people. The officials couldn't help but look at Han Fei. They thought that Han Fei must be the best candidate for the prime minister, and even Li Si had to think so.

However, the development of the matter was far beyond their expectations. Qin Wang first looked at Han Fei, feeling very sorry, and finally looked at Li Si, and said, "Li Si, you will be the prime minister of Daqin, are you willing?"

Li Si's involvement in the enfeoffment almost made a big mistake. Qin Shihuang, who is perceptive, would know that not only did Qin Shihuang not blame Li Si, but instead asked him to be the prime minister, it was so unexpected that the officials couldn't help but exclaimed One after another, the sound became one piece.

Even in his dreams, Li Si never imagined that the position of prime minister would actually fall on him, his eyes widened, and he realized it after a while, and hurriedly declined: "Your Majesty, my minister Li Si is weak in intelligence, so I absolutely dare not take on this great responsibility. Your Majesty, I think Han Fei is the most suitable prime minister."

What he said reached the hearts of the officials, and they couldn't help nodding their heads in agreement.

Qin Shihuang sighed and said: "You are right. I admire Han Fei's talent and learning. There is nothing better than him being the prime minister. However, you also know Han Fei's flaws. It will wear him down, and it is up to you." It is more appropriate to serve as the prime minister."

The word defect refers to Han Fei's stuttering. If Han Fei is the prime minister, because of his lack of articulateness, he might make two quarters of an hour, or even longer. Tired enough, the obedient people are also tired, and even worse, it will cause ambiguity, which will lead to bad things.Therefore, the best way to arrange for Han Fei is to let him make suggestions instead of participating in actual matters.

"This..." Li Si was still in disbelief.

Han Fei said to Li Si: "Li Si, your classmate Yu Xianshi, Xunzi, you know my faults..." He pointed to his mouth, stuttering for a long time and couldn't speak.

Li Si understood what he was going to say, and stopped him: "Senior brother, you don't need to say it, Li Si understands in his heart."

Qin Shihuang asked: "Li Si, are you willing to be prime minister?"

Li Sifu knelt on the ground with a bang, and said: "I accept the decree!" He burst into tears with excitement.

He was originally a person who was fighting for the enfeoffment, but now he has become the prime minister. In the eyes of the officials who are arguing for the enfeoffment, he is a traitor, and they hate him so much. If it weren't for his high position and authority, he must have yelled at him long ago.

Qin Shihuang looked at Li Si and said, "Li Si, I give you three words: loyal to me!"

Although there are only three words, the weight is extremely heavy. It is precisely because Li Si fell to Qin Shihuang at a critical moment and took out the "Book of Remonstrance and Distribution", which proved that he was in awe of Qin Shihuang and followed Qin Shihuang wholeheartedly. Then such a person must be reused. .

"I will remember it in my heart!" Li Si said tremblingly.

He is a traitor in the eyes of those who are fighting for enfeoffment, and a clown in the eyes of those who do not want to be enfeoffed. It can be said that Li Si has offended all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and there is no way out. He can only die well if he is loyal to Qin Shihuang. Once he loses power, he will suffer.This trick to drive the ducks to the shelves was so clever, Zhou Chong admired Qin Shihuang's wrist in his heart.
