Chapter 664: Weird
Lu Zhe didn't know so well why the First Emperor didn't appoint the crown prince earlier, and he didn't have the heart to inquire about what it was for. He didn't appoint the crown prince too early, it was completely deliberate, and it was not something that was decided at the first time of his head.
At present, there is no primogeniture law, and there is no so-called "way to establish the elder but not the virtuous, and to abolish the elder and the young". In the past, because the competition between countries was too fierce, if the person at the helm of the country was too incompetent, it would inevitably destroy the country's honor, so the selection of heirs was basically based on meritocracy. Under such a premise, how Lu Zhe chooses an heir from his descendants has a lot of room for maneuver, and he will not be restricted to death by rules and regulations.
The group of people who followed Lu Zhe's rise, their only idea was not to let people with royal blood become the masters of the future country, that was for fear that the heir with the blood of the nations would leave behind the hatred that belonged to the nations, after all, they went from having nothing to having a prominent position to standing on the old corpses of the nations, who didn't worry that they would be liquidated if they did something?
Lu Zhe naturally knew what those people thought. But what he really thinks, no one knows.
The matter of personal expedition is certain, but it is not a matter of setting off, it is never so simple to ask the king to lead the army to the battle, and it is far more complicated than the generals leading the army to go to war.
The county guards of each county were ordered to return to Nanling, and the garrisons in various places also made corresponding transfers, and at the same time, the commanders of some garrisons also made a change, and the concentration of logistics and materials used a lot of manpower, and many other things may take a long time.
When a king leaves the capital to go to the front, there are many things that can arise, and the question of who should oversee the kingdom in the king's absence is a big question.
The prison is generally held by a certain prince, but to be honest, Lu Zhe's eldest son is only the three-year-old eldest son Lu Qi, followed by the two-year-old eldest son Lu Yi.
If you are too young, how can you play the responsibility of supervising the country? After all, it is some ministers who keep the country running, and they are not young children who don't know anything.
LĂź Zhe researched many practical examples that had already existed, and he found that many kings did not choose which prince to be the prison state when they set out on their expeditions. Rather, certain ministers are chosen. In most of these cases, the prince was too young to actually participate in politics.
"The ancients knew that choosing a young child as a prison would be used by careerists?" Lu Zhe is actually not used to some of today's practices, everything is chosen from reality, and anything that will cause misunderstanding can be avoided.
So who should Lu Zhe elect as the depositor of the prison state?
"Lord, the name of righteousness." Yan Bi reminded.
That's right! Those kings who choose ministers as supervisors of the country, they rely on bloodline to rule the country, and in addition, there are many clan bloodlines to supervise, Lu Zhe is not from any noble bloodline, and there are no many clans to back up, it is a completely different system.
For a long time. Princes and generals are all kind, and the kind of people who can't become the rulers of the country without any bloodline has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so they are not worried about the usurpation of the courtiers and the people, because they will not be accepted by the people, and they will also suffer an unprecedented counterattack.
Lu Zhe reopened the file and checked it carefully, and he found that since the Tian clan became Qi, there was no example of a courtier supervising the country in various countries...... It's not right, if he remembers correctly, the first emperor did not set up any candidates for supervision at all when he went on patrol repeatedly. It's like a hub in the middle of an activity.
"If you don't stay in prison, all executive orders are still from orphans, is it feasible?" Lu Zhe didn't ask Yan Bi, it was Xiao He and Sima Xin, who were recruited later.
Sima Xin and Xiao He looked at each other for a while. They replied, "Yes." â
Bringing the administrative team to the battlefield together means that Xiao He, Sima Xin and other high-ranking people will go out with them, and only two or three kittens will be left in the country. But there's a premise here, and that's influencers. Including those who were considered a threat by Lu Zhe, all of them had to go together.
Han Liguo has been in power for nearly four years, and there are so many high-ranking people. In such a short time, they have not had time to establish their own party members, and almost all the influential people in the people are the patriarchs of the big clans.
The Han state was a state of expansion, and the people had influence, and those who had ambitions gathered people to raise troops as early as the time of turmoil, some were wiped out in the war, and some were absorbed into the administrative system of the Han state.
Before Lu Zhe killed the heroes, the vested interests would not allow the country to be in turmoil, so Lu Zhe just gave an order, and the core officials racked their brains to think about it, and then made a long list.
"Liu Bang?" Lu Zhe glanced at Xiao He when he saw this name in the list, and if he didn't recognize the wrong handwriting, it was written by Xiao He.
Why did Xiao He put Liu Bang's name on the list, Lu Zhe didn't ask, in fact, there was no need to ask. The glory and status that Lu Zhe can give Xiao He has reached a certain extreme, and Xiao He, as the first batch of vested interests in the Han Kingdom, will destroy the existing class of vested interests unless his brain is broken.
The list is almost all the people who can imagine that there will be some kind of trouble after Lu Zhe's expedition, and this is only one of the steps that Lu Zhe must do in his own expedition, and the next arrangements for the army are even more important.
After tossing for about two months, the news that Lu Zhe was going to personally lead his army north had already reached the other countries.
The Qin State did not rely on the intelligence system to find out, they received a notice from the Gongwei half a month after Lu Zhe decided to go on a personal expedition.
During that period of time, Meng Tian led the Great Wall Army to move the battle line back, and finally stabilized the battle that had been out of control.
As the Central Plains Army dispatched troops to the north for reinforcements, Meng Tian had enough troops and pushed the battle line forward for more than 20 miles, buying more time for the subsequent construction of fortifications.
LĂź Zhe's desire to personally lead the army north was not only a major event for the Han State, but also a major event for the Qin State that required great attention.
The Qin State had just transferred the troops of the Central Plains Army, and it didn't take long for it to be reported that Lu Zhe was going to lead his army north, and it would be absolutely false for them to say that they were not worried about what Lu Zhe's real goal was.
It was not until the threat that Qi would be encircled when Donghu and several other forces went south to relieve Linzi was confirmed, and the news that the Han army's offensive in Qilu had stalled and retreated to defense also came later, that Qin had a little belief that LĂź Zhe's personal expedition was to solve the changes that had occurred there.
The lieutenant in Xianyang could sense Qin's vigilance against this incident, and Fusu personally entertained and tested the alliance between Qin and Han.
Aligned or non-aligned, the 30,000 Han troops who sent an observation group to the Han State and the first batch of invasions and coordinated operations had already passed through the defense area of the Central Plains Army in Sanchuan County, and the meaning expressed by Lu Zhe was actually obvious.
Gongwei frankly told Su, the king of Han naturally intended to form an alliance with Qin, but in view of Qin's consistent lack of credibility in history, there was a lot of opposition in Han to this, believing that a paper covenant could not get any practical constraints, so Han King Lu Zhe withstood very strong pressure to send them to Xianyang first, and then despite the fierce opposition of the ministers, he tried to send the first batch of 30,000 Han troops into Qin to help in the war.
Being told in person that Qin had no credit, and to be honest, Fusu was a very embarrassing experience. However, he couldn't come up with any words to refute it, and there were facts that were recorded in the annals of history in order to achieve the goal, and that was a stain that could not be erased.
"The situation in our country is very complicated, the king is a Qin person, listed as a minister from all countries, and the head of the Qians is basically a Chu person." Gongwei pointed to himself: "Wei is also from Chu." â
Fusu didn't say anything, just looked at the lieutenant quietly.
"It is difficult to clarify the grievances and grievances between Qin and the other countries, if it weren't for the fact that the object of our followers is the king, I'm afraid it will ......" The next words Gongwei did not say, but the meaning was very clear, if it were not for Lu Zhe as the ruler, their group of forces would have formed an alliance with the countries to attack Qin early.
"General Gong and Han Wangzhe have given the unfinished mission, right?" Fusu asked.
"Indeed." Gongwei first bowed his hand, and then said: "My king has a ...... of mention."
That's what the Qin State is doing at the moment, the Qin army in the north is making a prepared retreat and luring a group of Huma led by the Xiongnu into the depths, which is such a thing.
"I was supposed to communicate with the prince as soon as I arrived, but at that time, your army was already shrinking the front, so ......" Lieutenant Gong smiled: "Now is not very opportune." Qi entangled Donghu, Chen Sheng, and Yan to join forces of nearly 300,000 troops to the south, and our army's strategy of cutting off the land passage between Linzi and the north was frustrated. Time has changed. â
Meng Yi, who came in after the briefing, just heard the last words of the Gongwei, he first saluted Fusu, and then signaled to the Gongwei, and said: "The King of Han went north to personally conquer, presumably to implement the strategy of stagnation again?" If the 300,000 enemy army is wiped out, will the King of Han directly lead his army to attack Linzi, or turn the northwest? â
Gongwei kept frowning, he didn't know if Meng Yi was really stupid or fake, so he would ask about the actual movements of the king of a country.
Fusu also looked at Meng Yi reproachfully, those words should not be asked unless Han Guo himself wanted to inform Qin Guo.
Meng Yi didn't seem to realize that he had said anything inappropriate, and said very seriously: "If the King of Han led his army to Linzi, the communist general would not have said those words." â
The lieutenant looked at Fusu, and then at Meng Yi. He didn't know if it was his own delusion, whether it was Fusu who didn't blame Meng Yi for being painless, or Meng Yi who looked like a stunned person, they all seemed to have an inexplicable sense of urgency?
"With the current situation of the Qin State, it will not do anything harmful to both sides, and it is difficult to maintain the northern border, and it is difficult to predict how long it can last." Meng Yi completely ignored the captain's constant frowning: "If the King of Han intends to implement the strategy of annihilating Huma, we will also show the corresponding determination to persist." â
What kidding this is! The grassland Hu and Qi Yan coalition forces both advanced the battle line to Shangjun, and the Qin State could still let go of the defense line and let them kill under Xianyang City? (To be continued......)
