Chapter 435 Zichan explains the funeral arrangements
When Youji saw this situation, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
How could he actually not know about Zichan's situation? In those days, after Zichan was assassinated, in order to avoid further persecution by Fengduan's party, he came to live in his house for a while.
At that time, You Ji had already seen some clues. But now, after Zichan returned to power, he had so many things to deal with and had to deal with so many things every day, it was inevitable that he would be exhausted.
Therefore, now he looks even more out of shape.
Zichan smiled calmly and said:
"Good luck, now that the matter has come to this, you don't have to worry too much. Birth, old age, illness and death are all human beings, so who can avoid them? It's no regrets for Qiao Qiao to be able to build such a foundation for our country of Zheng while he is still alive!"
You Ji sighed:
"Doctor, just rest in peace and rest, and don't think wildly. This is an unlucky thing to say..."
However, Zichan waved to You Ji again, asking You Ji to come to his side. Then, he weakly held You Ji's hand and said:
"Ji, after I leave, you must be the one to hold the position of Minister of Consul. I hope you can shoulder such a big responsibility! If it were anyone else, I would still be worried!"
Yes, as mentioned before, if it were others, they would either be indifferent to the king, or they would completely overturn his current new line of establishing the country, or even return to "vassaling other countries". line up.
Being disloyal to Uncle Zheng will inevitably plunge the Zheng Kingdom into civil strife; and abolishing the New Deal line will not only mean that Zichan's hard work will be in vain, but the people of Zheng Kingdom will return to the past and will be miserable;
Facts have also proved that only by firmly following the path of independence and openness is the foundation of Zheng Guo's country. While we must continue to seek the right to independence for ourselves, we must not rest on our laurels and have bad relations with powerful neighbors.
So, who should be the next minister of power? This can be said to be the key among the keys!
When You Ji heard this, he was silent for a moment and said firmly:
"Doctor, don't worry. Youji understands that youji will do his best to live up to the doctor's trust!"
Just listen to Zichan sighing again at this time:
"Hey... Ji, what I'm worried about now is nothing else. It's just that you are too tolerant and might not be able to win over a young person! So, I hope you can change, even if you are a little harsher on others. ,it is also fine!"
When Youji heard this, he was very puzzled:
"Ah? Why did the doctor say this? The doctor always treats others with forgiveness when in government, why do you advise Ji to be strict in governing? Ji believes that if the government is too strict, it may not be beneficial to the country or the people. ah."
"Hey, Ji. You can't see the key to this after all! In today's world, only those who are virtuous can use lenient political methods to make the people obey, and it is difficult for you and me to do so. Yes, so we can only settle for the next best thing!"
"For example, when people see fire, they are afraid, so few people will die in the fire; but water looks gentle and boneless, so people will despise it and play with it, so many people will die in the water. So it is not easy to be both forgiving and enlightened at the same time. If you are not strict with the people, you might actually hurt them!"
When You Ji heard this, he still didn’t take it seriously:
"Ji Ji has always been convinced by what the doctor said. However, I may not agree with this matter. Ji Shi doesn't know. Since the doctor is so close to the people, how could he have such thoughts?"
"Ji, remember, you must listen to what I say today, otherwise it will only increase your troubles in the future! The overseas Chinese's governance is indeed friendly to the people, but it is precisely because of this that the whole country of Zheng is now like this.
Such extravagant spending! This is the reason why Fengduan is able to accomplish such things!"
Li Ran couldn't help but admire Zichan when he heard this. Because as a person from the future, he was too familiar with the situation Zichan was talking about now.
However, after all, this was Zichan explaining the funeral arrangements to You Ji, and it was not convenient for him to explain directly to him. Therefore, he stayed aside and said nothing.
But You Ji obviously still disagreed. After all, what he saw was that the Zheng Kingdom was moving towards stability and prosperity under the leadership of Zichan.
That being the case, how could he be wrong if he just follows Xiao Gui and Cao Sui in the future?
Zichan saw that he never took his words to heart, and couldn't help but feel worried. But there was nothing he could do. You Ji was a good man, and asking him to be strict with others was really making things difficult for him.
But in terms of his prestige and support for his reforms, You Ji is the only person Zichan can trust now.
"Ji, after you become the minister of power, you should listen more to Ziming's opinions. You are also old acquaintances. Even if Ziming doesn't talk much, you must know it too."
"Doctor, although I don't have a close relationship with Ziming, his talent is obvious to everyone in the world. Please be at ease, doctor."
"Doctor Zichan, don't worry, I will do my best to live up to your trust!"
Zichan looked at it, nodded slightly, and then closed his eyes. He had talked too much today and consumed too much energy.
But at this time, Li Ran had to continue:
"In addition, there is another thought. Although Deng Xi had an enmity with the doctor before, he still has the ability to govern the country. If he can be allowed to return to Zheng, Zheng will be safe in the future!"
Hearing this, Zichan couldn't help but slightly opened his eyes:
"Oh? Then...is he still willing to come back?"
"We don't know what he thinks. But we also know that he is a well-educated man. He will not be willing to live in a mere corner of Ye Yi. Only by coming to Zheng Yi can he display his talents!
"
Zichan nodded slightly.
"It would be best if he is willing to come back. Uncle Zi, if this Deng Xi comes back, you must reuse him. This man has great talents and may be able to help you!"
When Youji heard the sound, he immediately responded:
"No! Yuji understands."
Seeing that Zichan needed a rest and was already feeling exhausted, Li Ran and You Ji wanted to leave. But at this moment, they had to report that Fan Yang, the Central Army of the Jin State, came to visit.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fan Yang came to represent the Jin Kingdom, but his son was nowhere to be seen in the court, so he came to visit him.
In fact, the Jin State is now in chaos, and the six ministers are constantly fighting. The ruling minister Wei Shu is also an extremely capable person, but his force is unable to cope with it. Therefore, the other hereditary ministers of the Jin State are
Most of the clan didn't like him very much, especially the one who came now, Fan Yang.
Fan Yang came to Zheng State this time, obviously in the name of mourning, but actually to test the current situation of Zheng State.
After all, the current situation in the Jin Kingdom is in chaos, and Fan Yang, as the central army, naturally wants to make a difference.
And the most promising one is undoubtedly the land grabbing war.
As the saying goes, "Kill you while you are sick." If they, Fan, can find some clues from the recent chaos in Zheng State, then he will be able to make a name for himself.
If he wins a big victory, not only can he gain some land, but also the right to speak in the Jin court may be able to directly overpower Wei Shu.
However, Fan Yang did not think about finding fault with any country. As its neighbor, Zheng State, is also famous as a "repeated country" in history, so of course it became his best choice!
Therefore, Fan Yang's trip had a clear purpose. Zichan also knew this very well, so he did not let Li Ran and You Ji avoid it, but let Fan Yang come in directly.
Soon, Fan Yang entered the house and when he saw Zichan on the hospital bed, he also hurriedly saluted:
"Zuo Yang of the Jin Army has met Dr. Zichan!"
Fan Yang was in his forties. He looked strong and strong, and there was a strong air between his brows, but he was obviously hiding it.
Zichan forced himself in front of Fan Yang and raised his hand slightly.
"Fan Zhongjun doesn't need to be polite."
Fan Yang's identity at this time was the left of the Central Army of the Jin State. As the nominal second-in-command of the Jin State, his status was not low. In fact, Fan Yang was because of his relationship with other people such as the Zhongxing family, the Zhi family, and even the Handan family.
The Zhao family all belong to the Jindong Group east of the Taihang Mountains, and their fiefdoms are directly connected to those of Wei, Lu, Zheng, and even the Zhou royal family!
Moreover, the Fan family was related by marriage to the Liu family who was in charge of the Zhou royal family at that time. Therefore, in terms of reputation, the Fan family of Jin completely overshadowed Wei Zhu, who was the commander-in-chief of the Central Army at that time.
"Fan Zhongjun has a lot of things to do every day. It is not easy to come to our country of Zheng as a guest. You have worked hard all the way!"
"Doctor Zichan's words are serious. Yang Yang has also heard about what happened in Zheng State before. It is really sad..."
A lot of things happened in the Zheng State during this period. The Four Kingdoms were conflagrated, the Ji clan was destroyed, and Zheng merchants were also persecuted on a large scale. They either died or fled. These all cast a shadow over the Zheng State, which was originally founded as a merchant country.
haze.
In addition, recently, the ruling minister Feng Duan died mysteriously, and Si Dai, the leader of the Si clan, also died violently.
These successive changes would look like a violent storm to any small country.
So in this case, it is inevitable that someone with ulterior motives will catch you.
Zichan knew that the person who came was not a good person, so he did not accept Fan Yang's words, but interrupted him directly and introduced You Ji and Li Ran to him.
Fan Yang couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard Li Ran's name.
"Two great names, Yang Yang is also like thunder!"
Li Ran smiled and said:
"Haha, the villain just has a false reputation, and he has actually insulted your respect."
After the two met, Zichan got back to the topic and said:
"By the way, I wonder why Fan Zhongjun came to our country of Zheng this time?"
Zichan actually asked this question knowingly, but he had to ask it. And when he said these words, his tone was a little low and a little coercive.
Zichan was such a smart man. He had actually seen Fan Yang's thoughts clearly.
He knew that he was about to die soon, so if he didn't handle it properly at this moment, Zheng Guo might be in trouble again in the future.
