"The Diannong Division is getting bigger and bigger. Old General, what do you think of my status as Sicheng?"
"What's more, I also hold the military position of Dian Nong Zhonglang General, both civil and military. In a few years, I'm afraid my influence will be no less than that of Li Si."
"I naturally know that Li Si will be wary. This person has a strong desire for power. Now he has to deal with Wang Wan and the others, and it won't be long before he will deal with me."
"Now that you know it, why don't you dig in?"
"Hehe! The old general doesn't know here! No matter how influential the Diannong Division is, I have only joined Great Qin for a short period of time. I can't fight against these people at all, so the easiest way is to rely on Your Majesty."
"In this case, I will choose to be a lonely minister. In this way, no one will criticize me in the future."
"It doesn't matter if I offend the Yin-Yang family so much. Besides, you said, old general, that the Yin-Yang family and the empire are not of the same mind. They may rebel against the empire in the future, so haven't I already made preparations?"
"In addition, I am indeed interested in the Fuso sacred tree in the hands of the Yin Yang family. Why not do this if you can get it in one fell swoop?"
Su Fan said with a smile. After finishing speaking, he looked at Wang Jian.
As expected, Wang Jian also looked at him in surprise.
"It seems that I am really old! I underestimated you."
"Haha not bad!"
When Wang Jian heard this, he also laughed. The more he looked at Su Fan, the more he liked him. He sincerely regarded the former as his nephew.
It's a pity that my granddaughter is already married, otherwise, this son would be a good match.
"But you boy, you have to be careful in the future. From now on, you will definitely become a thorn in the side of some people."
"And one thing, I want to remind you, is that the issue regarding the prince must not be touched upon lightly."
"Haha! Don't worry, old general. I know this very well. It is His Majesty's family matter and has nothing to do with me. I believe that no matter who becomes the prince, it will have no impact on me."
"His Majesty is now in his prime. In the future, when the crown prince ascends the throne, I may have already stepped down."
"To be honest, the reason why I am willing to accept your majesty's official position is because I want to use the luck of Great Qin to practice."
"You"
Wang Jian couldn't laugh or cry when he saw Su Fan telling the truth. Others were very cautious about their rights, fearing that they would slip away from him, but he didn't care at all.
But this is the best. Once an emperor and a minister, his abilities can be carried forward in the hands of your majesty, and he can even become a very popular minister and become the prime minister of a country.
But the next emperor is likely to be different. If he can step down in time, it will be a good thing after all.
After all, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Your Majesty is broad-minded, but that does not mean that the emperor who takes over will have your Majesty's broad-mindedness.
Retreat early to avoid being like Lu Buwei.
Just like him, he also quit in time, but it also created the prosperity of the Wang family today.
Xianyang City became more and more lively because of Su Fan's return and the performance of him and Li Si.
Many people have never seen the mirage, but they also know that after all, the Shaofu spent a lot of money to build it.
Moreover, the higher-ups also know about His Majesty's future plans. In the northern grassland, because the barbarians are not weak, although Great Qin's cavalry is fierce, war horses are always a problem.
In recent years, Da Qin and the Six Kingdoms have been fighting each other, and a lot of war horses have been lost. Therefore, there is no twenty years to restore the war horses to their peak.
Without war horses, fighting the northern barbarians on the open grasslands, even if Da Qin could gain the upper hand with its elite soldiers and armor, it would be difficult to do anything against those grassland barbarians.
After all, even if they can't fight, is it possible that they still won't run away?
The war horses raised in the Central Plains are indeed not as good as those on the grasslands.
It is impossible to advance to the north. The forests in the south are vast and the rain forests are full of dangers and are not suitable for large armies. Moreover, the rain forests are full of poisonous miasma. The army will get sick if they go there. It can be said that before the war with Baiyue, its own losses will reach 30%.
.
This is a bloody lesson.
Therefore, if Daqin wants to develop, it can only develop from the eastern sea. The sea is vast, but everyone knows that there are many islands in the sea, and the islands are large and small.
The small ones are only a few thousand feet long, while some of the large ones are not even smaller than Da Qin.
Such a continent is a new goal for Da Qin.
Moreover, some sages have said that there are indigenous people in those continents, and conquering them will naturally increase the strength of Great Qin.
This is military merit.
No one can ignore the military exploits of the Qin Dynasty. Since the Six Kingdoms were destroyed, there have been very few military exploits.
No one is willing to give up this way out now.
Previously, the mirage was occupied by the Yin Yang family, because they contributed the effort and others had nothing to say, and the Yin Yang family was not easy to mess with.
But now that the Prime Minister and Diannongsi have stepped forward, they have seen an opportunity.
All parties have also come forward one after another, and the court has become more and more noisy these days, kicking out the Yin Yang family first.
Then they each fight for it.
Many people in the imperial court do not trust the Yin-Yang family because they are too mysterious.
Because you are unfamiliar with it and cannot control it, you will naturally be wary and hostile.
Someone took the lead, so all parties were no longer afraid of the Yin Yang family. After all, if the sky fell, there would still be a tall man holding it up.
Even if the Yin and Yang family wanted to hold them accountable in the future, it would only fall on Li Si and Su Fan.
That's what these people think.
So they are all unified.,
As a result, the officials who relied on the Yin Yang family were in trouble and were besieged by most people.
Two fists can't defeat four hands, but one mouth can't speak to everyone.
Not everyone has Zhuge Liang's eloquence and can battle with other scholars.
Of course, as a result, these people became even more hostile to Su Fan and Li Si.
However, Li Si has been in Da Qin for decades, and he can be said to be full-fledged. He has many people supporting him in the court, but these people do not dare to do anything to Li Si.
Su Fan is also a high-ranking official, but he has risen too quickly and has little background. Even though he has a high and powerful position, none of them is considered a minister in Xianyang City.
So immediately someone took the lead and began to criticize Su Fan, saying that he had been killing innocent people indiscriminately in the local area for more than half a year, causing local riots.
Anyway, if there is any guilt, they will be pressed on Su Fan's body, and any shit basin will be pressed on Su Fan's head.
For a moment, it seemed as if Su Fan was being shouted at and beaten by everyone, and some people were also fishing in troubled waters secretly.
It's a pity that no matter how much they throw dirty water, Su Fan still sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, either in Diannongsi or going to court to rest his mind every day.
These people were simply ignored.
And His Majesty never said anything wrong about him. Instead, he severely criticized some of those people and even demoted several of them.
