Chapter 562: Cause of Death of Gan Luo
Gan Mao nodded and said, "Mr."
"Lao Gan, my ancestors are Gan Mao and Gan Luo." Qin An said excitedly, "They are all historical celebrities. I wonder if your family has a genealogy or biography. I want to know about Gan Luo. "
Gan Luo on the side became interested and asked: "Why is Sir so interested in Gan Luo and not Gan Luo's eldest father Gan Mao?"
Qin An explained: "Some of Gan Mao's events have been written down in history, and he died a good death in the end.
But Gan Luo was different. He was a child prodigy and became a prime minister-level official at a young age. However, for unknown reasons, there was no news about him. "
"Isn't there any record in the history books?" Gan Luo asked, he was also curious about his future.
Qin An said: "There are several causes of Gan Luo's death. The first one is that the First Emperor stabbed Gan Luo to death before he unified the six kingdoms."
"Why is this?" Gan Luo asked immediately.
Why was he stabbed to death by Ying Zheng's sword? I shouldn't have done anything wrong.
Qin An said helplessly: "It was not because he was so outstanding that he was named Shangqing after returning from his mission to Zhao. But this position was given to him by Lu Buwei.
Lu Buwei and the First Emperor were enemies. When the First Emperor took charge and found out that the court was controlled by Lu Buwei, his first idea was to eliminate Lu Buwei's cronies.
And Gan Luo is Lu Buwei's disciple and holds a high position. If he doesn't die, who will? "
"That's not right. How could the First Emperor kill ministers at will, especially ministers like Shangqing?" Gan Luo said.
"The king wants you to die, and he has many ways to make you die." Qin An said, "The reason why he killed Gan Luo with one sword in the court was mainly to show his displeasure to Lu Buwei."
Lu Buwei was very angry when he saw this, and finally launched a rebellion, but it was unsuccessful. The First Emperor did not kill Lu Buwei.
But this is one of the legends.
The second legend is that Gan Luo didn't like to help the cruel King of Qin. Note that the First Emperor had not unified the six kingdoms at that time.
But Qin Wangzheng liked Gan Luo's talents very much and arranged for him to live in the palace.
So in order to escape from imprisonment in the palace, Gan Luo deliberately touched the concubine's feet while playing chess with the concubine of the King of Qin.
The concubine reported this matter to Qin Wangzheng, so Qin Wangzheng killed Gan Luo. "
"False accusation, this is a false accusation." Gan Luo said angrily, "How could ancestor Gan Luo hook up with a concubine in the palace."
Qin An said speechlessly: "I didn't say it was Gan Luo's intention, but there is another rumor. It is said that Gan Luo died of illness.
I don't know the specifics, so I'm asking you. I don't have a biography or anything, especially about Gan Luo. "
Gan Luo said with a gloomy face: "Yes, Gan Luo is not dead, but someone wants to assassinate him. In order to track down the murderer and avoid the assassination, he pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool.
The final situation is that after the Great Qin is gone, the ancestors have no meaning to survive, and they finally die together with the Great Qin. "
Qin An couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said: "Sure enough, you are righteous and will die with the country. The First Emperor will definitely reward you greatly if he knows about it."
"This is what my ancestors should have done, and there is no need for any reward at all." Gan Luo said.
"You are also very righteous, just like your ancestors." Qin An said.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir." Qin An said, "Please sir, can you help me answer some questions."
"If I can help answer it, I will definitely answer it." Qin An said.
"Thank you, sir." Gan Luo said, "Sir, does he know what the village chief wants?"
"What are you talking about?" Qin An asked.
"Everyone here is our own people, so let me tell you straight away, His Majesty wants to be the emperor of every country in the world."
"I know this." Qin An said, "If you want to ask whether it can succeed, I can tell you clearly that with my help, it will definitely happen."
"Of course I know that the village chief will definitely succeed. What I'm asking is not this question, but I want to ask, once the village chief becomes the king of the ten miles and eight towns, what should the original ministers of the imperial court do?
We can't kill them all. "Gan Luo asked.
Qin An said: "Of course you can't kill them. Even those who don't surrender to my father-in-law can't be killed. Those who are willing to stay, let them stay. Those who don't want to stay, let them go back, and give them a lot of rewards. It can be considered as their hard work for the country and the people over the years.
Of course, those evildoers cannot be let go. To punish those people severely is to vent the anger of the people, and at the same time it is also building a reputation for oneself. "
"Doesn't the structure of the imperial court need to be changed? I learned about the six-ministry system, the cabinet system, the imperial examination system, etc. from the village chief.
I wonder if there is anything you want to change, sir? "Gan Luo asked.
Qin An thought for a while and said: "The cabinet system is to facilitate the emperor's handling of content, and the members of the cabinet help the emperor review memorials.
Moreover, this cabinet system appeared in the Ming Dynasty and was considered a good system.
From ancient times to the present, the cause of death of every long-lived emperor is basically the same, that is, overwork and exhaustion of the body.
That being the case. Why hasn't a cabinet been formed yet? "
"Where are the candidates for the cabinet?" Gan Luo asked again.
“People in the cabinet can choose people from the royal family, or people with low official positions, or even people who are not qualified to go to court.
People in the cabinet may have no power, no official position, and no reputation, but they must not hold real power. Once they hold real power, they also have the power to revise memorials.
Then he can do evil things. As long as an official submits a memorial, he will know it immediately. Then the memorial will be returned, and the official who wrote the memorial may encounter something unexpected.
Or being charged with other crimes will not make you feel comfortable anyway. "
"Sir, can the cabinet system be changed?"
Qin An said: "Of course. For example, the cabinet members can be changed every three years. Before each change, they must be kept confidential.
As a result, the cabinet cannot grow even if it wants to. Even if they want to hold on to the power in their hands, they only have three years. What can they do in three years? "
"Sir, you are wise." Qin An said, "But the candidate is changed every three years. How to choose this candidate?"
"One, selected from the court and elected by court officials. Of course, this official cannot have real power.
The second one is to be elected from the local area. Local officials recommend some people and then have their background investigated.
The third one is to recommend from the people. The people know the good and bad, and of course they have to investigate.
The fourth was chosen directly from the royal family.
The emperor had many sons and brothers from whom he could choose and even choose his successor. "
Some people died, but not completely...
