The first thousand six hundred and sixty-ninth chapters
"Not even a month after Wei Ting returned from Chu, he already had such a plan."
"Meng Yi admires me!"
Compared with the tangle of Prime Minister Wang Wan in the palace, Li Si is in a pretty good mood now in Tingwei's mansion which is not very far away.
Last year, the Chu State was conquered and destroyed. According to the needs of regulating the vast Chu land, it was necessary to have an important minister stay to manage all the affairs left in the Chu land.
Originally, General Wang Jian voluntarily stayed, but the king refused, so it fell on him.
For more than half a year, Huaibei, Huainan, and parts of Jiangnan in the Chu region have stabilized. Especially after the large-scale turmoil in the Chu region, it is unlikely that there will be any major conflicts in the future.
At that time, the Chu army generals raided Shouchun, and the new King of Chu, Xiong Qi, the former Qin Changping Lord, appeared, which also added a lot of credit to himself.
After the first battle, the remaining power of the Chu State was defeated. Immediately afterwards, the Qin army entered the south of the Yangtze River and advanced from place to place, completely wiping out the vitality of the Chu State.
Soon afterwards, the Qin army gathered outside Linzi City of Qi and Lu. King Jian of Qi surrendered without a fight, and the Qi State was destroyed.
All summers unite!
Destroy the Six Kingdoms!
The six kingdoms were unified under Qin!
Since Duke Xiao, the efforts of the six generations of ancestors of Qin have led to the current situation of Qin's unification of the world. Li Si sighed and praised for a long time.
This is the hamster rat!
Sure enough, I chose the rat in the toilet back then, and the result was still as magnificent as it is today?
When he left Xiaoshengxian Manor more than ten years ago, his senior brother Han Feicai was ten times as talented as him. The king admired him very much, and he was also envious of him.
However, Senior Brother Han Fei has great talents, but no room to display them. How can he compare with the Qin State when Han is just a weak country? Three times he read the "Book of Strong Han", but the King of Han refused to accept it, which is enough to explain the problem.
The talent of the senior fellow apprentice is indeed unparalleled, but he does not have the right time, the right location, and even less harmony. He does not follow the advice of Confucian Meng Kezi. How can he achieve success in this way?
Sitting quietly in the spacious hall of Tingwei's Mansion, Li Si bowed his hands and smiled softly when he heard the words of the boss Meng Yi. His eyes were deep and he passed by all kinds of things in the past.
I...succeeded.
Senior brother failed!
In fact, not long after he entered the Qin Dynasty, he should have known that his senior brother would not succeed. This was even more true when his senior brother entered the Qin Dynasty. If he was not protected by Marquis Wu Zhen, his words and deeds would also be punished.
However, on the other hand, my senior brother is successful. I have read the book "Han Feizi" myself, but I could not write it myself.
But it is the essence of Legalism.
The king loves it very much.
Li Si... also read through it many times and learned a lot, because "Book of Shang Jun" and "Han Feizi" are the king's policy strategy and the direction of the king's next world.
Many people in Xianyang are speculating on how the king will lead Qin next?
Are you all guessing what decision the king will make?
Li Si thought that the answer had actually been there for a long time, but those people didn't pay attention to it, and only a few could notice it.
Xiangbang naturally knows it, but Wang Wan, the prime minister, will not agree with him. Wang Wan is his good friend. He went east for the Qin State a few years ago and has been working together.
But, at this moment.
Many things are not that simple.
Qin Guodong made a difference in the world!
After one day, governing the world is completely different!
Wang Wansuxi's "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals"!
You know it yourself.
The various strategies he suggested were definitely different from his own, and that was his own opportunity. Being in the temple, the driving force for progress was to apply what he had learned.
The two of them are truly worthy ministers!
Both goals are currently in progress. Qin's destruction of the Six Kingdoms is a considerable opportunity for both of them to advance their two goals.
Returned from the Chu land and took charge of Tingwei Mansion again!
Li Si believed that this moment was the real beginning of his achievements.
First as a long history officer, then as a prime minister, and then as a court official, Li Si felt that he knew what the new Zhu Xia needed!
At such a juncture, what does the king hope to do?
And what should I do!
Otherwise, why would he let himself take over as Tingwei after Lord Changping sentenced Qin?
"The long history has given me too much praise, but in fact, it's all the responsibility of the Tingwei Mansion. I don't dare to make any mistakes."
"This is a ten-volume exposition newly compiled by Si. Please forward it to your Majesty on your behalf!"
After Meng Yi finished speaking, Li Si stood up from behind the case, took down a stack of paper from the case with both hands, which was more than three inches high, walked to Meng Yi and handed it over.
It was a detailed discussion of the "Ten Essays on the Governance of a Country" that I had previously submitted.
Not long after returning from Chu, I had "Ten Essays on the Governance of a Country"!
Yes, you should have this document to submit.
You must have this document to submit.
Now Tingwei's Mansion should exert its powerful capabilities. In terms of temples, Tingwei's Mansion is ranked among the national palaces. Below Guowei's Mansion, it is where Qin Fa's authority condenses.
No matter who it is, mention Tingwei Mansion.
They all have only one impression - Dharma!
The Tingwei Mansion has many responsibilities, one of which is planning new laws and amending new laws. The source of this is the Tingwei Mansion.
It is planned by the Tingwei Mansion. After modification, it is submitted to the government and the king for review, and then the central government discusses it, and then the Tingwei Mansion makes revisions.
After this cycle, a new law was finally issued.
In this way, no matter what, the core starting point and ending point are at Tingwei Mansion. Li Si has reason to believe that this is the king's trust in him.
The six kingdoms have been destroyed, and the Xia will inevitably face a huge choice.
"Another ten volumes!"
He carefully took the pile of documents with both hands, without glancing at the contents, and gently dropped it into a small wooden box that he had brought on this trip.
Not long after Master Li Si returned from Chu, he first published "Ten Treatises on the Governance of a Country", and then published volumes of detailed expositions on the Ten Treatises.
This kind of ability... Meng Yi thought that he would never be able to do it now.
"Although there are ten volumes, it is far from enough."
"The lands of Shandong and the new Xia need too many new laws and regulations, involving hundreds or even thousands of specific matters."
Li Si smiled slightly.
For the purpose of "Ten Essays on the Governance of a Country" and for the discussion in this volume, when I was in Chu, I had no leisure time and no leisurely moments.
As a long-time official, he has personally participated in the planning of the temple. In terms of status, he is considered an important minister. He knows a lot about the secrets of the central government and knows a lot about many things.
What’s more, King Yu knows a lot.
King!
He is definitely a heroic lord of his generation, no less heroic and overlord than any of the previous kings of Qin, and he will become the lord of the world in the future.
The young king ascended the throne and was controlled by Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei. Later, he wiped out Lao Ai, deposed Lu Buwei, and gradually eliminated the influence of the harem of the Empress Dowager Huayang and the Empress Dowager Xia.
This kind of skill... definitely surpasses the late King Zhaoxiang!
During the years of King Zhaoxiang, he was restricted by Mi Bazi, restricted by Ranghou... He was restricted for several decades. If Fan Ju entered the Qin Dynasty, everything would be unpredictable.
But the king had already achieved that step.
How not to be a British master!
Your Majesty's character and courage are already outstanding.
Coupled with a series of measures in recent years, the methods of governing are not only divorced from the Qin law for more than a hundred years, but also gradually changed according to the situation of Qin and Zhuxia.
That's true.
The king will definitely not follow the old path of Zhou in the future.
Nor will he be the co-lord of the Xia Dynasty like the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty!
In any case, one thing Li Si can confirm is that Qin will inevitably embark on a new path that will allow the Xia to prosper.
Only this is what the king wants!
This is also what the center wants.
A brand new road?
How difficult!
The first and fundamental thing is to create a new structure for Zhuxia. What will a new Zhuxia look like?
It’s a feudal state system like that of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty!
Or a unified system of counties, counties and central government!
Or something else!
Is Chi Road passable?
New regulations for merchants and businesses!
…
No matter what changes occur, the Tingwei Mansion has to take out its own things. Li Si feels that he is much luckier than his senior brother Han Fei, and luckier than many of his predecessors in the Legalist family.
A million Qin army attacked and destroyed the six kingdoms.
And the Tingwei Mansion that he is now in charge of will become the starting point for Zhu Xia's new path and become an important person participating in Zhu Xia's new structure.
Li Si was delighted.
Therefore, Shouchun in the Chu region was already strategizing on "Ten Treatises on the Governance of a Country". After all, the many years of stay in Xianyang were not an illusion.
Returning them to Tingwei Mansion means taking them out one by one and presenting them to the king.
Your Majesty...there are no surprises!
This confirmed what Li Si was thinking.
"Although there are many laws and regulations, they are also numerous."
"Back then, Lord Shang's law was implemented in Qin, and it took twenty years of hard work before it was effective."
"Today... under the Qin Dynasty, the implementation of laws will be more effective."
Meng Yi closed the small wooden box. He also knew the specific contents of some of the things inside. As a long-time minister, the king would also ask about it.
"When Meng Yi came here today, Your Majesty said that if there are not enough manpower, Tingwei can dispatch it on his own."
"Whether it's the national government office or some people from various places in Shandong, they can all be sent back."
"It's also possible at the Central Academy."
This is the king's password.
There is no need to leave behind documents. With the status of Tingwei, he can also recruit talents from those places. Meng Yi is just reminding him.
After he finished speaking, he looked at the huge hall of Tingwei Mansion in front of him.
In the past, this place was empty, and the pillars on both sides were blocked by screens. Now, they have all been removed and replaced with bookshelves. There are also a large number of officials on the wide thoroughfare in the center of the bookshelves.
"Haha, please don't worry, Your Majesty."
"Tingwei Mansion will not disappoint the king."
Li Si laughed and raised his hands, not far away there was a waiter offering herbal tea.
"At present, in addition to the original manpower, there are also capable officials transferred from the six countries in the Tingwei Mansion to revise the law."
"The Central Academy and the Shaofu have gathered hundreds of people to browse the classics and seals of the Xia Dynasty, hoping to find a new code that satisfies the king and can be used by the Xia Dynasty."
Continuing with the preface, Li Si pointed at the huge and bustling hall in front of him. In the middle of summer, the supply of herbal tea here was not cut off.
Otherwise, these people would simply not be able to bear the scorching heat.
As for himself, he is at the core and thinks of summarizing the strategy.
"Meng Yi will definitely forward this message."
"It's getting late, Meng Yi should leave."
"Counting the time, the king should be having a banquet with Marquis Wu Zhen now. Who knows, these things will come in handy."
Meng Yi's square and handsome face also had a smile on his face. He bowed deeply before saying goodbye and leaving. There was a drop of water in the hall just after midnight.
"Wu Zhenhou?"
"Wuzhenhou returned to Xianyang today?"
Li Si greeted him and saw him off. Hearing this, he was slightly surprised.
I really didn’t know that Marquis Wu Zhen was coming back today. In the past few days, I had been dealing with matters in the Tingwei Mansion. I just heard that Marquis Wu Zhen had returned recently.
No, I will come back today.
Indeed, according to the great favor of Marquis Wu Zhen in the past, as Meng Yi said, when he was having a banquet with the king in Xianyang Palace, he knew it when he was a long history in the past.
"good."
"The king issued a document many days ago, summoning Marquis Wuzhen to return to Marquis Wuzhen to discuss important matters of state affairs."
Meng Yi nodded, this is not a secret, everyone in Xianyang knows it.
It is estimated that Mr. Li Si was so absorbed in many complicated things that he forgot about it.
"Wu Zhenhou has always been favored by the king. The next important affairs of the country will definitely be successful. I am looking forward to it."
The two of them walked out of the hall side by side.
Immediately, with Meng Yi's courtesy again, Li Si returned to the bustling hall.
"Wu Zhenhou has returned?"
"This... I don't know what Marquis Wu Zhen discussed with the king."
After returning to the first case, Li Si thought a little.
This person is Wu Zhenhou!
Many years ago, when I first entered Xianyang, I knew and understood that this person... was very unique.
Especially the king treated him very uniquely.
Whether it is the position of the first marquis since taking office.
Or give Luo a lot of authority.
Under the center, except for Marquis Wu Zhen, no one holds the position of general, prime minister, or general overseer of the four counties. Each of these positions is extremely important.
From this point alone, we can see how much the king values Wu Zhenhou.
As a result, Marquis Wu Zhen had enough influence on the king in many matters.
The Xia Dynasty is about to change, and the king has not yet made the final decision on many matters. Whether it is the prime minister, Wang Wan, or himself, there is room for action.
What did Marquis Wu Zhen say?
He probably won't be involved too much, but he will definitely be involved in the most important aspects. Sure enough, Marquis Wu Zhen appreciates Wang Wan's strategy? Then... I don't think the king will hesitate.
Because the strategy stated by Marquis Wu Zhen has been error-free for many years and has always been proven to be correct.
Especially the two university palaces!
As expected, Marquis Wu Zhen said that the power coming from the two university palaces would also help.
However, Marquis Wu Zhen shouldn’t be able to help Xiangbang Wang Wan, right?
But... I can't say for sure.
In Xianyang, the only person with this weight is Wu Zhenhou.
Guowei Wei Liaozi is old and doesn't pay much attention to him.
General Wang Jian has outstanding achievements, but he seems to be unwilling to stand out.
My friendship with Marquis Wu Zhen is not bad, and my friendship with Marquis Wuzhen is even more prosperous than the Prime Minister Wang Wan.
My own luck.
Encounter a rare event since three generations of antiquity!
No matter what, he wants to leave his mark deeply on Zhu Xia.
"Wu Zhenhou!"
Whispering again, Li Si's eyes fell on the wooden case in front of him. There were many documents on it, some written by himself, and some submitted by people below.
"Someone is coming!"
After a long time, Li Si turned slightly to the side and looked behind him at a personal officer who was about thirty years old.
"grown ups!"
The man bowed deeply.
"With my order, go to the government and collect all the files from Shu County, Ba County, Qianzhong County, and Nan County in the past five years."
"Well, plus the files from Nanyang County."
"Get it done quickly."
Li Si sat in front of the case, quickly wrote the document with a pen, and stamped it with his own seal of Tingwei Mansion.
"Yes, sir!"
The personal officer, Chang Shi, took it with both hands.
Not long after, he led a group of people out of Tingwei's Mansion and went straight to the national government not far away.
