Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, there was silence in the Qilin Hall.

The military generals all lowered their heads and said nothing. In this court, unless it was a war, generally speaking, these generals would not speak if they could.

These generals were only thinking about the paper that Ying Wei created just now, and how to use this thing on the battlefield to maximize its efficiency and thereby improve the combat level of the army.

Most of the civil servants are headed by Lu Buwei. Whatever Lu Xiangbang says, they just need to follow Lu Xiangbang and wave the flag.

There are still some officials, such as Lord Changping, who neither support Lu Buwei, but also dare not openly oppose him.

This group of people is actually a very small number of forces in this court.

Ying Wei watched the court situation with cold eyes, thinking about the situation in the court.

At the same time, he also suddenly understood why Yingzheng would reuse Changping Jun after Lu Buwei fell.

In fact, everyone in the court is Lu Buwei's party members. These party members need to be cut off bit by bit. It is impossible to replace them all in one go.

At that time, a group of officials headed by Lord Changping who did not collude with Lu Buwei were simply in the clear.

In addition, Changping Jun was related by marriage to the Qin royal family, so Ying Zheng could only choose him.

Put yourself in his shoes, if Ying Wei sat on the throne of Qin, if he didn't know that Lord Changping would rebel in the future, he would definitely reuse Lord Changping.

At this time, Lu Buwei secretly thought, and he even breathed a sigh of relief. He had been waiting for this day for too long.

After Ying Wei returned to Xianyang, Lu Buwei waited for Ying Wei to enter the court.

As long as Ying Wei enters the court and has an official position, no matter what his position is, there will always be a superior or subordinate.

At that time, 04 Lu Buwei had countless means to deal with Ying Wei.

For example, any of Ying Wei's political orders can be made to be violated by his subordinates, and he will not be able to do a good job. If he continues to neglect his duties, he can have hundreds of officials interfere with him in the court.

The Qin State has clear rewards and punishments. If you don't do your job well, even Ying Wei, the Lord of Chang'an, will have to accept punishment until he voluntarily resigns.

And if Ying Wei really accidentally made a big mistake, then even if he was a feudal lord, he might be deprived of his fiefdom and title.

If you don't see it, even Cheng Xiu will make a mistake and die.

And even if Ying Wei doesn't make big mistakes, he keeps making small mistakes. As a result, Ying Wei's reputation will be completely ruined. The world will think that he is an incompetent person who can't even do this small job well.

You must know that in this era, people's reputation is like wings, and everyone cherishes feathers. If Ying Wei's reputation is completely ruined, it is equivalent to social death.

At that time, what Ying could not do was to really become a feudal lord who was waiting for death and never even thought about getting even half a step closer to the court.

It can be said that Lu Buwei is not evil. What he is waiting for is for Ying Wei to enter this game of power and enter his Lu Buwei territory.

However, Lu Buwei never expected that Ying Wei would actually master the Taoist way of doing nothing, and the best is as good as water. He actually chose not to enter the officialdom to confront him head-on, but chose to stay outside the court from the beginning.

In this way, Ying Wei is just a feudal lord of Qin State without any official position. Since he has no official position, he will not make any mistakes. Instead, he can use his identity as Lord Chang'an to make himself aloof.

Although Ying Wei was not a loser before time traveling, he knew clearly that he would not become invincible after time traveling and be able to defeat Lu Buwei, an old fox in the officialdom.

The Queen Mother Huayang was tricked by him, and her father, King Zhuang Xiang, never played with him. People like Ying Zheng and Lord Changping were also cautious in front of Lu Buwei.

For such an awesome person, Ying Weike couldn't help but feel that he could defeat the opponent in the areas he was good at, so he had to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses to fight on a different track.

It's just that Lu Buwei doesn't know what Ying Wei is thinking. If he knew that Ying Wei valued him so much, he didn't know whether he should be relieved or smile bitterly.

Lu Buwei only thought that the two brothers Ying Wei and Ying Zheng had finally lost their patience after waiting for so many months and wanted to use this opportunity to increase their rewards.

Hehe, young people will be young people after all, so they can’t hold their breath.

The old god Lu Buwei is here. No matter what position Ying Zheng gives to Ying Wei, he will agree to it. Only by dragging this Lord Chang'an, who has been fighting with him to death, into this officialdom can he, Lu Buwei, use many of his methods!

Above the court, everyone had different thoughts. Some were gloating about the misfortune, while others were looking serious. They were all waiting for Ying Zheng to say something.

Ying Zheng said slowly:"……The few people wanted to learn the Zhou rites, so they set up the post of Winter Official in the Shaofu to supervise the papermaking, hoping to completely replace bamboo slips with paper and allow the Qin State to issue orders"

"What do you think, dear friends?"

Lu Buwei and Baiguan both said without thinking:"……Can!"

After the emergence of paper, many officials knew that there must be a special position to supervise papermaking, especially because these papermaking techniques cannot be spread. At least they cannot be spread in a short period of time, so that Qin can take advantage of it.

But Lu Buwei I was wondering, maybe the King of Qin wanted Chang'an Jun to take this position, but the status of this position is too low?

And although the Shaofu is one of the Nine Qings, he is in charge of the internal affairs of the royal family, which is completely different from the court system. It doesn't count as entering the center of power at all.

As the Lord of Chang'an, doing this job is simply disrespecting him.

Just when Lu Buwei was thinking, he heard Ying Zheng say again:"……Dear friends, are there any candidates for this position?"

All the officials said nothing, because the Young Mansion is mainly responsible for the internal affairs of the royal family. This is one of the few places that Ying Zheng can control.

But those positions in the Young Mansion can only be responsible for the internal affairs of the royal family, so On the contrary, the power is embarrassing.

If the King of Qin has the power now, then the position in the Young Mansion is still a good position, and he can be close to the King of Qin. But now the King of Qin has no power, and if he goes there, his official career will almost be cut off.

Ying Wei stepped forward at this time, cupped his hands and said:"……Your Majesty, I have a candidate to recommend"

"Chang'an Jun said it doesn't matter."

Ying Zheng nodded and said.

In the court, the two of them naturally cannot be called brother Wang, third brother, etc., but must be more formal.

"Your Majesty, I have a younger brother named Li Si, who is from the Chu State and once served as a minor official in the Chu State."

"However, Li Simin was studious and progressive, so he joined the Confucian Xiaoshengxian Village and studied under Xun Qing. Now he has returned to Xianyang with his ministers, hoping to get an official position in our country of Qin."

"Although Chen came up with the method for making paper this time, Li Si did the main work."

"Li Si spent several months working day and night to perfect the art of papermaking, and his achievements are indispensable."

"Therefore, I recommend Li Si to enter the Shaofu!"

Since Ying Wei promised Li Si to get an official position for him, although Li Si is easy to use, Ying Wei is a person who keeps his promises. This is like the emperor without jokes. A king can use power, but he must have credibility. Otherwise, he will be mean and ungrateful, and his subordinates will no longer trust him in the future. Moreover, even if Li Si has a position, will he dare not to do anything he asks him to do?

At most, Li Si will be asked to do two jobs at 996!

The reason why Ying Wei let Li Si enter the Shaofu is because Li Si is now equivalent to one of his own, and he will be safe only if he enters the Shaofu.

Otherwise, if he really enters other departments, he will definitely be played to death by Lu Buwei. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Lu Buwei didn’t even have to say anything, his subordinates would target Li Si

"In this way, do lovers have any meaning?"

Ying Zheng asked again

No one from the officials said anything, which meant it was meaningless. After all, it was just a trivial matter.

"Then Chang'an Jun will ask Li Si to report tomorrow."

Ying Zheng said again

"Here!"

Ying Wei responded and stepped back.

Lu Buwei remained silent. He knew this was an appetizer and was waiting for the next main dish.

Sure enough, Ying Zheng continued:"……I want to send someone as an envoy to South Korea. Can any of you recommend someone?"

Lu Buwei took a step forward and asked:"……Your Majesty, I wonder why your Majesty wants to send someone as an envoy to Korea?"

Lu Buwei didn't understand at all why he wanted to go to South Korea as an envoy.

Because Ying Zheng said calmly:"……Cheng Xiu rebelled years ago. Cheng Xiu's mother is a Korean princess. Everyone suspects that South Korea is causing trouble in Cheng Xiu's case."

"I sent an envoy to South Korea just to question the King of Han and see what he said, asking South Korea to cede territory and pay compensation!"

Many officials were silent.

This excuse is too bad.

Well, Qin always likes to find weird excuses to attack other countries. After all, they have to have a name.

Although 313 can have no name at all. Just beat him directly, but that would be too impolite.

What does it mean that Cheng Xi’s mother is a Korean princess, so his rebellion is related to Korea. This is an excuse. How could the King of Han cede the land and pay compensation.

But as long as the King of Han refuses, there is an excuse. , you can directly send troops to South Korea.

Could it be that the king is preparing to attack South Korea? But it is not the king’s turn to have the final say, but it depends on Lu Xiangbang.

For a while, many eyes secretly looked at Lu Buwei, and The same is true for the generals.

They also guessed that Ying Zheng might have the idea of ​​attacking South Korea, which made these generals excited.

For military generals, the only place where they can make achievements is on the battlefield.

Lu Buwei remained silent. I was a little confused at that time, so I took retreat as the path forward:"……Does the king have anyone to choose?"

Ying Zheng stated his purpose:"……I want to send Lord Chang'an as an envoy to Korea. What do all the beloved ministers think?"

Lu Buwei's thoughts suddenly changed, and he was shocked by the thoughts of Ying Zheng and Ying Wei.

Of course he knew that this must be something that the two had discussed long ago.

But why should Lord Chang'an be sent as an envoy to South Korea? Where can I go? What's the use? Is there anything in this that I can't understand?

Subconsciously, Lu Buwei wanted to refuse, but then he thought about it, so what if he refused? If Chang'an Jun insisted on going to South Korea, he would have no official or position in the Qin State. , he can go whenever he wants, there is nothing he can do to stop him.

And why does Chang'an Jun want to leave Qin? Doesn't he think there is danger abroad?

Lu Buwei was rarely confused. Ying Wei and Ying Zheng used this wild move to make him Confused.

There were many things that Lu Buwei couldn't understand, but he also knew that everyone was looking at him and there was no time for him to figure it out.

Lu Buwei hesitated for a moment and said:"……I think it is okay. As Lord Chang'an, sending an envoy to South Korea is the greatest respect for the King of Han."

Lu Buwei suppressed his thoughts and thought about the soldiers coming to cover up the water and the earth. He would see how Ying Wei would attack later, and then he would deal with it.

This Chang'an Lord knew the Taoist method well, and it made him unable to do anything. Could it be that he had to continue to choose the sword? Is it better to take a different approach?.
