"It's really hard to have a Shangguan who works harder than me!" Han Fei had to sigh.
Among his peers, Li Si can be regarded as a model of Confucianism. He is incredibly self-disciplined. He can do things today and never put them off until the next day.
If you say a certain time, it will never be more than a minute or a second ahead of time, and your behavior will seem to be in accordance with the law.
This forced Han Fei, who was already a bit dissolute and lazy, to admit that he couldn't be like Li Si.
When they were studying together at Little Saint Xian Village, Han Fei thought that his talent could not be matched by even Li Si's flattery, but Li Si managed to catch up with him through his own efforts.
Coupled with Qin Wangzheng's vigorous training and all-out support, Li Si now seems to have surpassed his slack self.
But Li Si was like this, but he met Qin Wangzheng, who was more ruthless than him and was able to pressure him to make progress.
I can only say that maybe this is what the Book of Changes says, fire is like people, a gentleman distinguishes things by categories, and things of a kind flock together.
"Actually, who doesn't want to feel more relaxed?" Li Si sighed.
"However, what we are encountering is an unprecedented trend, a brand-new world, and a unified and centralized empire that has never appeared before."
"We don't have any precedents to follow. How should this new empire go and how to do it? There are no classics for us to learn from."
"And we hold high positions, and our words and deeds will determine the direction of this powerful but very fragile empire, and determine the lives of hundreds of thousands, even millions, or tens of millions of people. How dare you be careless?
?”
Qin's heritage taught them how to unify the world and how to conquer other countries, but that was the end of it.
No one has provided them with any advice on how to defend this powerful yet weak new empire.
Therefore, both he and Ying Zheng had to work hard, observe and study everything in detail, and not dare to slack off in the slightest.
It is said that Ying Zheng is a workaholic, but laziness has always been a weakness of human nature, but some people can restrain it and avoid it through hard work and pressure.
"Suddenly I don't want to agree to your request. With a superior like you and a majesty like Qin Wangzheng, I feel that I will either die from exhaustion or be on the road to death from exhaustion for the rest of my life!" Han Fei sighed.
He didn't think much about it at first, but after listening to Li Si's explanation, he understood that the unification of Qin was not simply due to the accumulation of generations, nor was it because there were so many emperors who were good at conquering and liked to cause trouble.
It's so simple.
The key lies in the support from Qin Wangzheng, Li Si and others in the rear, who can allow the soldiers in the front to start the war at will, and can condone Emperor Yao to disrupt the situation.
Take Jiujiang as an example. Is Chu really incapable of destroying Jiujiang?
No, it's just that Chu State cannot afford the losses after destroying Jiujiang, which will result in Chu State no longer being able to resist Qin's attack.
Didn't Jiujiang's development from an insurrectionary army initially rely on the Qin State to provide them with nearly a year's supply of food, grass and luggage?
Without this initial supply of food, grass and baggage, the rebel army would have fallen apart due to hunger and cold without even having to take action from the Chu State.
"Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements!" Han Fei thought.
If Li Mu, Jin Yao and others are the real battlefield generals, then Ying Zheng, Li Si and others who gave them such support behind the scenes are the real decision-makers.
"I have recommended my senior brother to Your Majesty for the post of Tingwei, so senior brother must be prepared!" Li Si said seriously.
Han Fei's face froze. If you agree, then recommend him to someone else!
"Are you sure the King of Qin dares to use me?" Han Fei rolled his eyes. Who he is and who he is is unknown to everyone in the world.
As long as the people in Qin's court are not sick, they would not be able to do such a thing if they let an enemy prince serve as his nine ministers!
But then I thought about it, the real decision-maker in Qin's court was already sitting in front of me!
"What is this!" Han Fei spread his hands helplessly, his leisurely and pampered days were gone in one fell swoop!
It was clearly Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang and Li Mu who gave up their jobs and ran away. Why should they, as idlers, take the blame?
Qin's year-end dynasty was finally held as scheduled.
The entire Qinian Palace could not accommodate so many officials entering the dynasty. Especially after annexing Han, Wei, Yan, Zhao, and Chu, the Qin State established prefectures and counties in the hometown of the Five Kingdoms, making the number of Qin State officials exceed the number when the Qin Palace was built.
expected.
Therefore, at the end of the year, the entire dynasty chose to move the throne to the steps in front of the Qinian Palace, while the ministers and officials stood in the square in front of the palace. This way, all the officials who entered the capital could sit down.
However, this was a hardship for Zhang Han and Zhao Gao, who were responsible for delivering the message.
Two people had to stand in front of the ministers and officials and in front of Ying Zheng respectively. One was responsible for conveying the officials' words to Ying Zheng, and the other was responsible for conveying Ying Zheng's words to the officials.
Really, communication is all about shouting, and performance is all about shouting.
At the end of the year, the first thing the court did was to announce the resignation of Wei Zhuang and Wang Wan, leaving their positions vacant.
All the courtiers were in an uproar for a while. No wonder they found that many officials from the prime minister's office did not show up, and Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang also did not show up again.
Of course, some powerful people know this.
Therefore, the real discussion is who will win this high-hanging aspect.
The feudal officials who had returned from various places also looked around, guessing who might be the new prime minister.
Feng Quji was a little confused, because before today, he had not been summoned by Ying Zheng again, which meant that this phase had nothing to do with him.
"Brother (father)!" Feng Muze and Feng Jie both looked at Feng Quji.
Before this, the whole of Xianyang thought that Feng Quji would be Wei Zhuang's successor, but now looking at Feng Quji's lonely expression, it was obvious that Xiang had another candidate.
It's just that they are more curious about who can defeat Feng Quji and win the position of right minister.
"The positions of the two prime ministers are respected and related to people's livelihood. Therefore, I specially order General Li Mu, Lord of Wu'an, to also assume the power of the right prime minister and take charge of the country's affairs!" Ying Zheng spoke again, interrupting the uproar of the courtiers.
"It turns out to be Mr. Wu An!" Feng Quji, Feng Muze, and Feng Jie all looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
If there are other people who still have the intention of disobeying and fighting, but it's Li Mu, Lord Feng, Lord Wu An, then there's nothing they can do.
"Specially promoted to Lieutenant Li Si, pretending to be Left Prime Minister to assist Wu Anjun in taking charge of state affairs!" Before the officials could react, Ying Zheng once again announced the candidate for Left Prime Minister.
"False left prime minister!" Feng Quji breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not a left prime minister. Fortunately, there was a fake word, otherwise he would really be Yuyu.
"In addition, former Tingwei Chief Justice Han Fei has been promoted to Tingwei Qing!" Ying Zheng opened his mouth again and announced the candidate to replace Li Si.
