Chapter 174: Cunning rabbits are dead and running dogs cook
The Jiuyuan Army, the first army of the Qin Dynasty, created by Meng Tian, was demolished by himself. Hu Hai knew that even if Meng Tian was loyal to the Qin Dynasty, he would have a knot in his heart. What's more, there have been rumors that he wanted to treat the Meng family.
How can I not worry Meng Tian if I take action?
Even if Meng Tian has a genealogy in his heart, but there are tens of thousands of people from the Meng family, each of whom said something like that, Meng Tian and Meng Yi, who originally had a genealogy in his heart, would probably become more and more rude in their hearts in the end, and they would be filled with words.
Jin is not a fairy tale.
In fact, Hu Hai had long wanted to have a good chat with Meng Tian. Whether it was for the sake of the Qin Dynasty or to appease the Meng family, these things must be done.
However, Meng Tian has been out of the war, and military affairs must be controlled by someone who can control the situation. Therefore, since Hu Hai killed Zhao Gao and took office in person, there are only a few times for the monarch and ministers to get together, and more
Don’t talk like this, like today, and chat.
What Hu Hai did not expect was that the influence of those rumors on Meng Tian had reached the point where he forced him to retire. Of course, it was definitely not just the role of rumors. The Montessori clan itself must have also evaluated the impact of retreating but not retreating on the family.
After all, Meng Tian is already the only duke of Jiuyuan, and she is the only duke of the Qin Dynasty. I think they must be thinking that Meng Tian, who has a huge influence on the military, will retreat. He will definitely be no longer embarrassed to go deep into every corner of the Jiuyuan Army.
The generals of the Meng family at all levels have taken action. No matter what, as long as Meng Tian is still alive, even if Meng Tian is no longer the commander of the Jiuyuan Army appointed by the court, and with the son-in-law of the Meng family, Meng Tian can still deal with Jiu.
The original army is like a commander.
In addition, as the Minister of Personnel, Meng Yi does not need to do too obvious. He only needs to arrange the people of the Montessori clan in an appropriate position, and the Montessori clan can occupy a new place in political affairs. In this way,
Over the past few years and decades, the Montessori tribe is probably not only a leader in the Qin army system, but also a vital position in politics.
Hu Hai believed that Meng Tian had definitely weighed these, but Meng Tian definitely didn't know that these things had already been considered all the pros and cons when Hu Hai appointed Meng Yi as Minister of Personnel. This was why Ying Liang, the right chief of Zongzhengfu, was founded.
He was promoted to the Left Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Chen Youguang, the magistrate of Chengwu County, was promoted to the right Minister of the Ministry of Personnel by several steps.
Although the ministers of each department are the head of a department, the real thing is actually the left and right ministers of each department and the four departments. The left and right ministers of each department and the four departments can be said to have basically divided the main functions of each department completely. If a minister of a certain department is enough
Be strong and control all the four internal departments in your hands. Then you can really control one.
However, although the appointments of the chief ministers of each department have exchanged and the secretary of each department has the right to nominate, the final appointment power is still in the hands of Hu Hai. Without Hu Hai's approval, the chief ministers of each department are not so easy to do.
As the most important part of the six ministries, how could Hu Hai feel at ease to put it all in one's hands? Even if that person is Meng Tian.
After all, Meng Tian’s retirement today is actually another level of exchange. Meng Tian used his retirement to exchange for the stable position of Meng Yi and the Montessori generals in various legions. Of course, it also made Hu Hai feel at ease.
.
However, it seems that Meng Tian himself has not made up his mind yet. This can be seen from Meng Tian’s request to meet Hu Hai alone today and privately make this request.
If Meng Tian really wants to use his retirement to threaten Hu Hai for exchange, then the most direct way is to Meng Tian directly propose retirement at the court meeting. At that time, the news had already spread. As long as Meng Tian's attitude was firm, Hu Hai was really
There is no way.
Meng Tian has retired. If Hu Hai continues to pursue the Meng family, he will probably be disappointed by the old ministers. To be more serious, as long as the Meng family makes a sound, Hu Hai's reputation will be hit.
After all, Meng Tian has been famous for decades. Whether it is character or achievements, it is an existence that is admired by people all over the world.
Hu Hai knew that Meng Tian could not retire no matter what.
At this time, Meng Tian’s resignation would have had an impact and shock on the Qin Dynasty. You must know that he had just dismissed Linghu Fan’s position as a marquis. The surrendered ministers who were granted the title of marquis for their merits were now
They all became frightened birds, afraid that the next person to be dismissed would be themselves. In this case, if the Qin Taibao and the Jiuyuan Gong Meng Tian retired and retired, then no matter what, no matter whether Hu Hai thought or not, the evaluation of "the cunning rabbit died, the lackey was cooked"
I think it will be put on him.
Similarly, Hu Hai also knew that he could not make any compromises in the matter of Meng Tian’s resignation. At least on the surface, he could not make any exchanges and compromises with Meng Tian.
Once this hole is opened, many people will probably use this hole to seek their own compromise in the future.
"I don't need to say anything about retirement. I will definitely not agree to it. And I hope I will not say anything like retirement in the future. I have never doubted the loyalty of the Meng clan to me and to the Qin Dynasty. There are some things that are indeed the case.
I am doing it, and it is very obvious, but I am weakening not only the Montessori clan, but all the nobles of the Qin Dynasty cannot influence the stability of our Qin Dynasty with their own strength. I do not allow it now, and I will not allow it in the future.
I will never do the loyal minister who has made contributions to my great Qin Dynasty. I hope my dear friends can understand my painstaking efforts."
Speaking of this, Hu Hai has basically expressed his bottom line. It is not only targeting the Meng family, but also all the nobles of the Qin family are in their own calculations. Even with Meng Tian's calmness, he couldn't help but
Shocked and terrified.
If these words from Hu Hai were just heard, it would not be said that the Qin Dynasty would immediately be in chaos, which would at least 90% of the nobles of aristocrats from the young emperor in front of him were disunited.
Isn’t the emperor afraid that he will have conflicts between the king and the minister when he hears such words? Or does Emperor Xing really trust him so much?
Meng Tian's mind was in chaos for a moment and she was silent.
Hu Hai glanced at Meng Tian, who was pale, stopped talking, and started drinking on his own.
The emperor's study, which was as warm as spring, suddenly fell into a different tranquility.
...
It was not until dark that Meng Tian left the emperor's study.
This conversation that happened in the winter of the third year of the Second Emperor was not recorded in history books, and Meng Tian did not have any words afterwards.
Three days later, Meng Tian, dressed in military uniform, appeared in high spirits at the grand dynasty meeting where Emperor II summoned the envoys of the Western Regions.
