In fact, Hu Hai's concerns can be easily understood. Among the options he already has, Confucianism is definitely a good medicine to assist in national governance. The problem only lies with Zuo Zhou. Yes, Cheng is also him, and the problem is also him!
Zuo Zhou is one of the five great generals of the Qin Dynasty, and he is also a powerful person like a pillar. Even the Emperor of Qin tried to win over him before he transformed into a dragon. But precisely because of his status, Hu Hai really didn't want to give him any more advice.
He has more power.
Sometimes, a person can gain status but not power. Zuo Zhou has too much status in the hearts of many people. If he gains the corresponding power, what if he really takes the lead in rebellion in the future?
After all, it was related to the rule of the royal family. Hu Hai could not place his hopes on one person's morality and loyalty. What's more, Zuo Zhou didn't look like he was loyal to the royal family.
"...This is what happened. General Li discovered Gongsun Sheng's conspiracy, so he took the action of slaying the dragon."
Zhan Zhao pursed his somewhat dry lips and spoke continuously for more than half an hour before detailing their journey along the way, although there were still many secrets that he didn't know.
Hu Hai and many courtiers showed expressions of amazement. This General Li can really cause trouble!
Hu Hai looked at the large row of generals below and said, "My dear friends, what do you think we should do next? Although this is a good time to occupy the Song Kingdom's territory, our Great Qin has just begun to digest the Turks not long ago. If we absorb the Song Kingdom's territory again,
It’s a bit careless, and it will also affect domestic development!”
When the emperor expressed his position first, which is the correct way to ask the courtiers? This is not to tell the courtiers clearly that I want to be more stable and not to send troops. If the courtiers are sensible, they will definitely agree with it. It is a pity that the court of Qin Dynasty
But that's not the case...
Li Si took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the leader of the Song Kingdom was so immoral that the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. If we don't send troops to fight for a piece of territory at such a good opportunity, it will definitely make people underestimate the strength of our Great Qin, and there will be a flood of temptations in the future.
If there is such an influx of people, won’t there be endless troubles when the time comes?”
Hu Hai was a little helpless, "But the Qin Dynasty can't bear the trouble for the time being. Although it can send out the army, I can't guarantee sufficient logistical supplies. If it takes too long, won't it put the frontline soldiers in crisis?"
Bao Zheng took a step forward and said, "I recommend a person to take command. Once this person comes out, our soldiers will surely be able to capture many cities without a fight!"
Hu Hai was confused. Are the enemies stupid? Can they still offer the city?
"Back then, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was immoral, which caused the Yang family to defect to our country, the Qin Dynasty. The reason is known to everyone. If the old lady is in charge this time, then I believe that the people of the Song Dynasty would not open their doors to welcome him!"
Hu Hai was stunned for a moment, and he had to admit that with Song Huizong's way of disappointing the people, if the Yang family returned to the Song Dynasty at this time, there would definitely be a large number of followers.
It's just... The Turks of Great Qin haven't finished digesting it yet. Here comes another piece of Song Kingdom territory. Are you too eager for quick success? And Li Yuanfang got a piece of territory in just one trip. Who knows what he will do next?
, isn’t it that our Great Qin will be dragged down by him?
Well, well, there is another reason. He doesn't want to give Zuo Zhou any real power, but he also doesn't want the Yang family to be too powerful.
The ministers below knew his virtue very well, and they seemed to be thinking about some kind of balance. Di Renjie said in a row: "If your Majesty allows it, I can show off my face in front of Li Yuanfang. If it is General Li
If you can personally lead the troops there, the people who believe in the Song Kingdom will probably be scared out of their wits and surrender without a fight!"
When Hu Hai heard this, he said, "It's better to let the Yang family go. If we adopt more conciliatory policies, it can also reflect the benevolent government of our Great Qin."
"Your Majesty is wise!"*n
Hu Hai coughed lightly and said, "Let's talk about this for now. Regarding the selection of the Imperial Advisor, do you have any opinions?"
This time no one said much, they just looked at each other and fell silent. Choosing a national teacher is actually like injecting ideas into the country. Judging from the current situation, the best candidate is of course Old Man Zuo, not only because of his
With a background in both the Demon Sect and the Confucian Sect, the key is that he is one of his own. But everyone can see that Hu Hai is afraid of Li Yuanfang, so how can he say anything that could cause trouble again?
As a few courtiers who were not afraid of offending Hu Hai, the main reason why they did not propose Old Man Zuo was because they knew that Old Man Zuo actually had the same character as Zuo Zhou, they were both very lazy and unwilling to take responsibility.
In the past, they would force Old Man Zuo to take responsibility based on the idea of making the best use of everything, but now it can't be done. Zuo Zhou has killed the strong man on the ground list. You can't force a great Qin Zhushi to do something he doesn't want to do.
Upon seeing this, Hu Hai waved his hand and said: "Everyone, please step back!"
As he spoke, Wu Zi stood up and left the hall, followed closely by a group of escorts, eunuchs and maids. Looking at his thoughtful look, you knew what he wanted to do.
"Prime Minister, regarding the matter of the Imperial Preceptor... what kind of advice do you think Zhao Gao will give?" Di Renjie and Bao Zheng caught up with Li Si before leaving the palace.
Li Si seemed to have expected it, and was not surprised to see them. He replied calmly: "Confucianism is indeed helpful for national governance, but your majesty is obviously wary of the influence of Li Yuanfang and Zuo Feng in the side sect. So in order to please your majesty,
If the purpose is yours, then Zhao Gao will definitely follow His Majesty’s instructions.”
Bao Zheng sighed: "We also know this, but the problem is that we should have gone against Zhao Gao to decide the national policy. If he suggested not using Zuo Gao, then we should use him. But the key is that Zuo Gao himself is not willing to get involved.
We cannot force this matter."
Li Si sighed, "This is where I'm a bit embarrassed."
Di Renjie was the most familiar with Old Man Zuo. He thought for a while and said, "Actually...it doesn't matter who the national master is. The key is whether it is Confucianism. I was wondering, can someone replace him?"
Li Si frowned, "Brother Di, do you mean to find other people from the Confucian sect? But except for the descendants of the Zuo family, the rest of the Confucian sect may not have that prestige, and this person cannot be too close to Zuo Zhou.
It’s a little hard to find!”
Di Renjie had no choice but to stop talking. He had to take care of Hu Hai's mood and stabilize the development of the country. Normally, it was just a show, but once Li Yuanfang's matter was involved, it would be a bit of a headache.
Li Simo rubbed his chin and suddenly thought of an idea, "What if we don't use Confucianism?"
"What's the meaning?"
"I mean, it's not Confucian on the surface, but we can take the essence of Confucianism and integrate it into it. In this way, it has nothing to do with the Zuo family, and we can develop and grow the country according to our wishes. Isn't it the best of both worlds?" Li Si said with a look in his eyes.
Getting brighter and brighter.
Di Renjie and Bao Zheng looked at each other, "Do you have someone to choose?"
"Not yet, but it doesn't matter who this candidate is or what faction he belongs to. You just need to agree with him what ideas he will promote after becoming a national master."
"This is a way. Wait, if that's the case, wouldn't we have to follow Zhao Gao's wishes this time?" Bao Zheng's face looked a little ugly, as if he had been hit, and he felt like he was being beaten by a dragon or a phoenix.
Hina feels infected.
These words made Di Renjie and Li Si feel awkward. After a long silence, Li Si finally said: "Well, let's just think of it as fooling Zhao Gao. After all, if you always go against him, you will be easily discovered by him, and you will not be able to serve as a beacon in the future."
what to do?"
…
Almost at the same time, Hu Hai was indeed asking Zhao Gao for his opinion. Zhao Gao is now very popular. No one in the government or the public could see His Majesty's preference for him. Except when facing Li Si and others, he was always on the sidelines both inside and outside.
Go.
Now when he heard Hu Hai's inquiry, he immediately said: "General Li Yuanfang is now undefeated, and after the army once again captures part of the Song Dynasty's land, this credit cannot be relied on. Now the only way to show His Majesty's kindness is
It’s a title or even a title of king with a different surname! Of course, if it’s just a name, that’s it, but you can never hold the position of National Master with both hands.”
Hu Hai sighed after hearing this: "My dear, you understand me! It's just that the position of the national master is still up in the air. After all, it is a worry for me. In fact, when my father was here, I mentioned this matter before, but it was ignored by my father.
The emperor's pressure has been put down. Now it's time to put it on the agenda but there is no suitable candidate. It's really hard for me."
Zhao Gao took a step forward and offered advice: "Your Majesty has already worked so hard for state affairs, why bother taking these problems on yourself? Why don't you just look at God's will?"
"Oh? What do you mean by God's will?" Hu Hai was puzzled.
Zhao Gao smiled and said: "A national teacher must have outstanding skills and admirable prestige. Your Majesty can cast a wide net to catch more fish and let people with lofty ideals from all over the country compete. When the time comes, Old Man Zuo will not know martial arts.
If you can't become a national advisor, you can't blame your majesty. And your majesty can also get a satisfactory national advisor!"
Hu Hai was shocked. This idea is great, but the problem is, you, Zhao Gao! You are Hu Hai's beacon, how can you put forward such constructive suggestions? How can I refute you?
But based on previous experience, only the opposite is correct. Now I think this is a good idea. Doesn’t that mean that I am as smart as you, Zhao Gao?
"Uh... I understand Aiqing's opinion. Come here, check if the court officials have left the palace. If they haven't left, chase them back. I have something to discuss with them."
…
In the General's Mansion, Zuo Zhou crossed his legs, listening to old man Zuo describing the changes in his family, the imperial capital, and the court in the past few days, while looking at Axiang's body randomly. This girl is a bit developed.
Ever since he found out that Zhan Shiqi had slept with Zuo Zhou, his resentful little eyes had made Zuo Zhou's hair go crazy. It seemed that he would have to do anything to her tonight.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? Did you hear what I said?"
The old man Zuo waved in front of Zuo Zhou, who came to his senses and asked, "Where are you talking about?"
The old man Zuo had a look of disdain on his face, "I think about all these messy things every day. When will you be as stable as me as your father? I guess Zhang Liang and the others will take the initiative to hang out with you."
"I don't care if an old man hangs out with me or not!"
Old Man Zuo sighed, "Your rather annoying good brother came here once and said he found some traces of the same kind."
