One wrong step, one wrong step. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Changping Jun had to think that judging from the strategy designed by Shang Gong for him to suppress Lu Buwei, there must be other purposes.

If the young King of Qin wants to create a school palace, let him start it, and there is no conflict with his own interests. The main purpose of the eviction order was to suppress Lü Mansion, where the guests were all Lü Buwei's sworn friends, and compared to this, Lü Buwei had many more people available than others.

Those people have been in Xianyang for a long time, and they have rich connections, and if Changping Jun wants to monopolize power, he must limit Lü Buwei's power. Therefore, Changping Jun didn't think much about this plan sent by Shang Gong, and took action in a big way.

But now it seems that Shang Gong should have other purposes, which is to use Changping Jun as a gunman. found that the situation was not right, and immediately turned his head and pointed the gun at Changping Jun, very aggrieved, in terms of political means, Changping Jun was still worse than those old foxes.

This is also why Yingzheng doesn't want to punish too much, everyone gives each other a step, and no one can offend anyone. Above the court, Lü Buwei's power is still the heaviest, so Changpingjun can't fall, and only Changpingjun can balance Lü Buwei.

The emperor's mind is the way of balance, and if you are weak, you will help whichever side. In short, in the Great Qin Dynasty, there can be no situation where one person is dominant, so that the policies that can be launched by Yingzheng can be implemented steadily.

After a while, Li Si walked in from outside the hall, paid homage to Yingzheng directly, and stood in the center of the hall until he was questioned.

Ying Zheng asked: "Your courage is too big, how dare you leave Xianyang without the permission of this king?" You are from Lengyue, Li'er and I are in the Qin Palace, what is the difficulty, just go to the palace to find us, how can you have the idea of leaving the Qin Kingdom alone? ”

"Fortunately, you still remember to come to see this king, you came to answer me first, why don't you go to the Qin Palace to find me, but wait for me to be summoned outside the palace? Because of you, Prime Minister Zuo has been punished, and when it gets out, someone will definitely complain that I am biased towards you. ”

Li Si hurriedly saluted Changping Jun, raised his head and said to Ying Zhengyan: "For selfishness, the grass people really want to see the king and the young master to clarify Li Si's position. But I can't go, because this matter is related to my Great Qin Jiangshan Sheji, and it is unreasonable to tell me with a personal relationship, it will seem that Li Si relies on nepotism to obtain wealth and nobility, and it will not benefit Leng Yue at all. ”

"Leng Yue is very poor, but he is rich and unruly, and Li Si disdains to do it. I am here today for official business, as a grass people, to explain to the king and all of you how powerful it is. The matter of expelling guests, at least in my Great Qin, has never happened, and the previous kings did not dare to do it. ”

"If it is a good thing to evict guests, why didn't the previous kings do it? Because the disadvantages are too great, the damage caused to Daqin is even worse. Therefore, Li Sibucai spent the whole night writing a volume of "Expulsion Order" and invited the king and all the adults to watch it. ”

"After reading it, if the eviction order continues, Li Si will leave the Qin State and return to the mountains and forests, so as not to make it difficult for the king and the young master."

Li Si handed over a bamboo slip, and Zhao Gao took it and handed it to Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng took it and didn't look at it carefully, but said: "Since everyone is here, if you have any questions, you might as well come and listen." This king is very familiar with Li Si, he will not talk nonsense, since he said that the eviction of guests is harmful, you might as well argue with him. ”

Lu Buwei breathed a sigh of relief, someone finally came to refute the eviction, and he really wanted him to say, first, he was not prepared, second, he did not think about it in detail, and third, he did not think of a follow-up solution. Blindly refutating will definitely make people find fault and omission, and it will really become a quarrel with others.

Shang Gong was silent, standing there as if he had nothing to do with him. Chang Pingjun looked at Li Si carefully, he had heard of this person before, but he had never seen it. Leng Yue was born, and he has studied with Xunzi and Lu Buwei, which can be described as a rich five-car school.

This person is a good hand at handling political affairs, and he is not very proficient in military affairs, which has no conflict of interest with Changping Jun. Shang Gong said that evicting guests can increase the power of the royal family, and Changping Jun also agreed, but there was no need to issue an eviction order. After all, there are few people in the royal family, and if there are few staff members in any family, if they are all expelled, they will become unavailable.

That's why there are people who chase away customers, and there are also regulations for relatives and alienation. But what is the harm of evicting customers, Changping Jun does not understand, and he also wants to know what are the drawbacks.

Changping Jun couldn't hide his thoughts, and asked directly: "After the expulsion of guests, the power of the royal family can be increased, and the king needs to establish the authority of the monarch, and there will be no mixed different voices at that time, so there is no harm in any calculation." The king trusts you, but he is not familiar with you, so tell me why can't we give an order to expel you? ”

Li Si clenched his fists and said eloquently: "The matter of chasing customers is indeed wrong, I can explain it in detail from two aspects: big and small." Whether there is a mistake or not, you should decide as soon as you hear it. ”

"In the big picture, in the past, Qin Mugong sought sages, invited Yu from Rong in the west, invited Baili Xi from Chu in the east, ushered in Uncle Jian from Song State, and appointed Pibao and Gongsun Zhi from Jin State. Qin Mugong appointed these five people, annexed twenty countries, and dominated Xirong. ”

"Qin Xiaogong reused Shang Ying, King Qin Hui used Zhang Yi, King Qin Zhao got Fan Ju, and the previous kings of all dynasties made contributions to Qin Guocai because of the appointment of Keqing. What does Keqing have to be sorry for Qin Guo? If the first kings also ordered the expulsion of guests, how could I get the hegemony of the Central Plains of Great Qin? ”

"On the contrary, with the use of guest secretaries, the imperial power was more stable, and the status of the royal family was recognized by the nations. Adults, please think about it, if it weren't for those guest kings, would Daqin be able to develop so fast? Since it can develop fast, the battle of the Central Plains is more than national strength, and whoever develops faster will win, so why not use Keqing? ”

"From a small aspect, pearls and treasures are not produced in Qin, and beauties, good horses, and treasures are also from Eastern countries. If it was only the things that the Qin State wanted, then many good things would be gone. ”

"Why do you have to chase away these things when they are available? If we don't want it, those things will be used by other countries, and those countries will use them. In the same way, if there are talented guest secretaries we don't need, they will go to other countries to increase the strength of each country, and in the end they will inevitably threaten the great cause of the Qin State. ”

"Isn't that impossible? Your Excellency can go to the city gate to have a look, many of the guests are already planning to leave. Brain drain, shops divested, and many goods will follow to other countries. Merchants have a low status, and the vast majority of those who do business are guests of various families. ”

"Keqing is all gone, and there is no way to do business. You can't stand up and do those lowly things. Don't say that my Great Qin can't evict guests, no matter how mediocre the kings of various countries are, there has never been an eviction of guests. ”

"So today, Li Si met and came to ask for his resignation, mainly because he couldn't survive. After the eviction order, the guests of the Lu Mansion were panicked, everyone wanted to eat, and the Qin State was no longer able to settle down, so in order to survive, they could only find another place. ”

Everyone held their breath, especially the small aspects, and everyone felt the same way. Changpingjun can't speak, I don't want to know, I think about it carefully, I'm very afraid, which house doesn't have such a person?

Qi Chen suddenly said: "Three layers of the money and grain in the treasury come from Bashu, and most of the officials who transport them are not from Qin. The dead soldiers of the Ba family also have very few Qin people. Lu Xiang used to be a logistics officer, and he has a deep understanding of this aspect, if the guests are evicted, those who have no official positions are among the expulsions, how much will be lost every year? ”

Lu Buwei hurriedly echoed: "What Lord Mi Chen said is right, many of them grew up in the Qin State, but they are still not Qin people, if they are all expelled, the army will collapse." ”

Those generals who closed their eyes opened their eyes suddenly, and they all looked at Gong Xu. The military generals have their own groups, and since the death of Meng Fu, the court is headed by the Duke of Xuan.

Gong Xuan said in a deep voice: "If you have enough trouble, let's end it, Daqin can't chase away customers, Changping Jun, I owe you for your bad ideas." You crooked and bent ways, as much as you bully us rough people don't understand, it's okay to fight for power alone, but you can't cross the line. Now it seems that the swordswoman's punishment for you is light, and it is estimated that she did not expect this step. ”

is a good Li Si, Ying Zheng was stunned in his heart, and he continued to scrutinize step by step, and even the army was affected. How could the generals of the army agree? Great Qin looks at his merits by his military merits, and no matter how fierce the noise is, they can ignore it, but if it affects the army, he won't talk nonsense with you, and stop it directly in person.

Changping Jun was cold all over his body, and a cold momentum locked on him, and he didn't need to look at it to know that it was Zhongli's, and this time it really annoyed the swordswoman. No one had told him about the disadvantages of evicting customers before, and it is estimated that even Shang Gong himself should not know too much, who is also the core figure of the royal family, where would he know about the affairs of lowly businessmen.

The status of the merchants was very low, and the magnates looked down on those profiteers, but there was a very serious problem that had to be considered, once the eviction order was implemented, those people could not stay in the Qin State. And how many of the merchants are Qin? If those people expel too much, the army's logistics and supplies will inevitably not be able to keep up, and it is estimated that Mrs. Ba will rush to Xianyang and point at their noses and scold.

Relatively speaking, there are only 3,000 people at most in Lufu, and the Bashuba family is the granary of the Qin State, at least hundreds of thousands. Most of the leaders who transported money and grain were not Qin people, and once the eviction order was executed, Changping Jun would no longer dare to think about it......

Zhongli spoke again, and said in a cold voice: "Changping Jun, hand over the talisman of the garrison, and after retiring from the dynasty, this evening, come to Huayang Palace to ask the Queen Mother for his guilt." ”

Changping Jun drooped his head, bowed his head and said, "Oh." ”

Holding up the talisman with both hands from his arms, Zhao Gao took it and handed it to Yingzheng, Zhongli stretched out his hand, Yingzheng showed a wry smile and handed the talisman to Zhongli.

The ministers saw this detail, and the swordswoman was holding the Qin sword, representing the power given by the previous kings. Yingzheng is not yet in charge of the government, and he cannot hold any military power, Zhongli is too obedient to the rules. As for whether Changping Jun can return the talisman, it can only depend on what he says when he goes to the palace.

If Mrs. Huayang disagrees, or Zhongli is not at ease with him, it is estimated that Changpingjun's political career will come to an end. A person can be arrogant, but he can't cross the line, and even the army will be affected by the expulsion of guests, which will shake the foundation of Great Qin, and of course people will not let you come nonsense.

The military attache in the army, headed by Gong Xuan, directly said that Zhongli's punishment was light, so Zhongli directly deprived Changping Jun of his military power, and he could give an explanation to both the top and the bottom. Everyone understands it, Changping Jun also knows this truth, this is okay, if Zhongli holds on to this matter, not to mention that Prime Minister Zuo's position is not guaranteed, and even his life may not be saved.
