Chapter 669 It's just a matter of pushing the boat
"I didn't expect Hu Hai... no, the entire Great Qin court seemed to be a bit more resolute this time."
It's still the dock, it's still the inside of the unknown big ship, and a few troublemakers have gathered together again. Sitting at the east end is the man who is very domineering when walking, sitting and lying except for running around in the cabin, and on the right is a man.
The young man with disheveled hair has red eyes, as if he hasn't slept well for a long time.
Then came Xu Fu and Crow, but the two of them formed a sharp contrast at this time. One proudly raised his chin and even glanced at the Crow next to him with contempt.
"The efficiency of the Qin Dynasty has always been very high. When Emperor Qin was still in power, as long as he gave an order, the ministers would perform their duties and work together on the same thing in all aspects. However, after Hu Hai came to power, he began to play with checks and balances.
I had a set, so I gradually slowed down.”
Surprisingly, it was the young man who answered, but Xu Fu didn't seem to understand and asked: "Why do you have to slow down at the beginning of checks and balances?"
The young man reached out and took the teapot and teacup, "There are so many things in the world, and there is also so much power. The more you have in your hands, the less in the hands of others. When Emperor Qin was in power, he held
The power is absolute, while the power of the ministers is very even. It can be said that they each perform their own duties and act naturally quickly. If Hu Hai wants to play checks and balances, he needs to decentralize power first. After all, if the power of the ministers is not worth mentioning,
So what’s the point of checks and balances?”
Xu Fu frowned, "Why does it sound so stupid? If the truth is so simple, why do so many emperors still play with checks and balances?"
The young man sighed, "Power is often linked to obligations. The more power you have, the more things you have to do. This is definitely a heavy burden. If you have the ability of Emperor Qin, you will be fine, but if you don't,
Then this heavy burden will make you work hard."
“Then the decentralization of power won’t be tiring?”
The young man was funny, "Of course I'm not tired. You have to know that if you can separate power and responsibility, you won't be tired. Retain the authority of the emperor and leave what needs to be done to the ministers below. Naturally, there will be no more tiredness than before."
Problem. What you need to do is to balance those cronies with too much power in the government and the opposition."
Xu Fu finally understood, "No wonder so many emperors play with checks and balances and talk about emperors' tricks. They just want to make themselves happy and not tired!"
The young man paused for a moment and then nodded, "The truth is this, but there is also a limit here. Too much decentralization can easily lead to disobedience. Too little decentralization can easily make oneself too tired. If it exceeds the limit of ability, it will be...
It's twice the result with half the effort. Moreover, this kind of gameplay can easily deceive future generations. After all, the power that has been divided is not so easy to take back. Ministers will often use "ancestral system" and "etiquette" to advise or collude with the ministers to restrict the emperor.
"
Xu Fu nodded, "Speaking of this, I thought of the previous Emperor Qin. Before he transformed into a dragon, he had to clean up a large number of ministers. I remember that at that time, there was a man named Sima Guang who danced the most fiercely and died the most.
miserable."
The young man said with some respect in his tone, "Emperor Qin's move was to pave the way for Hu Hai. He left several auxiliary ministers, but he did not give them any substantial power, but only gave them the title of consultant. This
We have tried our best to concentrate power in the hands of Hu Hai. What happens in the future depends on how Hu Hai plays. In other words, power will be redistributed by Hu Hai."
The very arrogant middle-aged man seemed not to want the young man to be more beautiful than before, and continued: "It is precisely because Emperor Qin killed a large number of ministers before transforming into a dragon that nothing major happened after Hu Hai succeeded to the throne.
.This is the power of deterrence, but as ministers, they will keep testing. They will test Hu Hai's bottom line, test the difference between him and Emperor Qin, and most importantly, see if Hu Hai will be as good as Emperor Qin.
ruthless!"
Xu Fu thought about it carefully. He didn't care much about the things in the court, but recently the ministers had indeed become somewhat active. Some ministers had to take care of the affairs of other yamen from time to time. This is the sign that a powerful minister is about to be born!
The young man smiled and said: "The reason why we decided so quickly this time is because the Qinglong Club is a provocation to power. Before, Hu Hai might have been worried about King Xian being an elder or something like that, but the ministers didn't care. Qun.
The more power I have in my hands, the more I want Qinglong to die. In this way, not only will you get concrete evidence, but all the officials will promote this conquest."
Xu Fu frowned and looked at the young man with some fear, "In this case, your plan... still complies with the general conspiracy!"
The young man shook his head, "It's not a major trend. It was Hu Hai who created the current situation. I'm just pushing the situation along. But I need to think carefully about it later. After all, it is impossible to transfer all the masters away in the crusade against the Azure Dragon Society."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked at the silent crow and said disdainfully: "Your Ten Kill Sect has almost been killed by Li Yuanfang. I'm afraid there is no way to delay it any longer or transfer some experts."
Wu Wu failed to complete the task of intercepting and killing Dique, so he spoke very quietly. Now that he was being ridiculed, he couldn't help it, "Humph, the Great Qin Cavalry is so powerful, how long do you think the current Green Dragon Society can hold them back? If it weren't for us
, I’m afraid you’re back over there before you enter the palace.”
The middle-aged man was disdainful, "That's not because I exchanged the position of the Qinglong Association's general altar from Zhu Wuwu, otherwise how could your Ten Kill Sect succeed so easily!"
The middle-aged man is from Japan, and Zhu Wuwu has cooperated a lot with Japan. In addition, Shangguan Jinhong was once one of the dragon leaders, and later broke away from the Qinglong Society. Naturally, he will not keep any secrets for him. It is better to use the information of the Qinglong Society in exchange.
Come to some practical meaning.
Therefore, the current situation of the Qinglong Club has something to do with Zuo Zhou. Who allowed him to steal a branch of the Qinglong Club from Shangguan Jinhong?
Crow's brows were furrowed, and he was still waiting to argue, but the young man reached out and interrupted: "Okay, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope. Now is not the time for internal strife. If there are any conflicts, wait for us to get them.
Dragon Bone, everyone should rely on their abilities! There is no need to worry about the Great Qin Cavalry and a few generals, but what about the other masters?"
Seeing that there was a peacemaker, everyone quickly went down the steps. Xu Fu continued: "Monk Jian Chi is now busy rebuilding the Shaolin Temple and has left the imperial capital. I used the name of Hu Hai to ask the people from the Ministry of Works to delay the construction materials and other aspects."
After a delay, he won't be able to come back in a short time."
Crow snorted: "Ksitigarbha has already gone to find Jian Chen and the others. We don't need to take action directly. We just need to create some trouble. Wuming has been transferred away. He will definitely not be able to come back in the short term."
The young man asked with some worry: "What about Zhou Tong and Huang Shang? Li Yuanfang and Qinglong have old grudges. He will definitely go, but Zhou Tong will not. He is Zhan Shiqi's master, and he can be regarded as the youngest member of Li Yuanfang's family.
Bodyguards, as long as we pretend to attack the general's palace while we are at it, Zhou Tong should be able to hold him back. But... Li Yuanfang's women are also very powerful, and ordinary masters may not be able to hold off Zhou Tong!"
Crow said indifferently: "Don't worry, if there were indeed no loopholes to exploit in the former General's Mansion, but that's not necessarily the case now, just leave this matter to me, the Ten Killing Sect."
"Then only Huang Shang is left..."
"..."
Cabin, your name is silence!
Everyone looked at each other, and everyone saw distress in each other's eyes. Among all the masters on the ground ranking, Huang Shang was the most troublesome.
Huang Shang usually did nothing but hid in the Hanlin Academy and read books. It was not easy to get him out of the Hanlin Academy, let alone transfer him.
"Otherwise, let's not talk about him first. If he really comes out to cause trouble, we can deal with it together." Seeing that this was not going to work, the young man simply suggested this.
"This is the only way to go."
"Okay, what about Bai Qi?"
Crow regained his confidence again, "Bai Qi is too good to be transferred. He just needs to attack Fusu and others like Wang Jiantong did. It's a coincidence that we haven't been able to find Fusu's location, but we didn't expect it.
Fusu had taken that blood-coagulating pill, and following his blood energy, we finally found his location."
Xu Fu nodded, "The Blood Coagulation Pill comes from the Qinglong Society, maybe it was given to him by Yin Man."
"Hehe, I can only say that the Qin Dynasty will be destroyed! Hahahaha!"
The young man was a little disgusted when he looked at the crow who was laughing wildly. Good guy, his Adam's apple is so prominent.
"Last time, your plan to kill the whole family was quite flawless, but it was later revealed by Li Yuanfang!"
The middle-aged man spoke sarcastically before the young man. The crow choked and his eyes became more fierce. Xu Fu advised: "Okay, the more complete the plan, the better. Is there anything else worth noting? The top experts on the ground list have solutions.
Then... what about the top people on the list?"
The young man heard this and sighed, "Great Qin is really enviable. If I have so many masters, I won't be stolen..."
The middle-aged man ignored the young man's sigh and said to himself: "I have a method that should attract the attention of all the masters in the city, but in this case, we may have to give up some of the benefits."
"Tell me about it?"
"I know a master overseas. He directly wants to compete with someone in a duel, but all the affairs are complicated and there is no chance. And the master is in the imperial capital. If we can facilitate this duel, I believe we can easily defeat the entire city.
All eyes are focused on it."
Xu Fu frowned in disbelief, "The last duel that attracted the most attention in the martial arts world was between Xiong Ba and Dugu Jian, but then Dugu Jian died and Xiong Ba was also arrested. Are you sure there is someone else whose duel can attract such a big attention...
…Damn, I even forgot that there is a Xiongba!"
Xu Fu rubbed his temples in annoyance, but the middle-aged man next to him didn't care too much, "Don't worry, Youruo and Dufeng are Xiongba's weaknesses, and they only need some small tricks to hold him back. As for the duel... haha,
A duel in which someone is destined to advance to the top of the rankings must be extremely popular!"
