When Youji saw this situation, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
How could he not know about Zichan's condition? In those days, after Zichan was assassinated, in order to avoid being persecuted by Fengduan's party again, he came to live in his house for a while.
At that time, Youji had already seen some clues. But now, after Zichan returned to power, he was dealing with so many things and so many things to deal with every day, and it was inevitable that he would be exhausted.
Therefore, now it looks even more out of shape.
Zichan smiled calmly and said:
"Ji, now that the matter has come to this, you don't have to worry too much. Birth, old age, illness and death are all human beings, so who can avoid them? It's no regrets that Qiao can build such a foundation for our country of Zheng while he's still alive!"
Youji sighed:
"Doctor, please just relax and rest in peace. Don't think wildly. This is an unlucky thing to say..."
However, Zichan waved to You Ji again, asking You Ji to come to his side. Then, he weakly held You Ji's hand and said:
"Ji, after I leave, you must be the one to hold the position of Minister of Consul. I hope you can shoulder such a big responsibility! If it were anyone else, I would still be worried!"
Yes, as mentioned before, if it were others, they might be indifferent to the king, or they might completely overturn his current new line of founding the country, or even return to "vassaling other countries". line up.
Being disloyal to Uncle Zheng will inevitably plunge the Zheng Kingdom into civil strife; and abolishing the New Deal line will not only mean that Zichan's hard work will be in vain. The people of Zheng State will go back to the past and will be miserable;
Facts have also proved that only firmly following the path of independence and openness is the foundation of Zheng Guo's country. We must continue to seek the right to independence for ourselves, but we must not rest on our laurels and antagonize powerful neighbors.
So, who should be the next minister of power? This can be said to be the key among the keys!
When You Ji heard this, he was silent for a moment and said firmly:
"Doctor, don't worry. Youji understands that youji will do his best to live up to the doctor's trust!"
Just listen to Zichan sighing again at this time:
"Hey... Ji, what I'm worried about now is nothing else. It's just that you are too tolerant and might not be able to win over a young person! So, I hope you can change, even if you are a little harsher on others. ,it is also fine!"
Hearing this, You Ji was very puzzled:
"Ah? Why did the doctor say this? The doctor always treats others with forgiveness in politics. Why do you advise Ji to be strict in governing? Ji thinks that if the government is too strict, it may not be beneficial to the country or the people. ah."
"Hey, Ji. You can't see the key to this after all! In today's world, only those who are virtuous can use lenient political methods to make the people obey, and it is difficult for you and me to do so. Yes, so we can only settle for the next best thing!"
"For example, when people see fire, they are afraid, so few people will die in the fire; but water looks gentle and boneless, so people will despise it and play with it, so many people will die in the water. So it is not easy to be both forgiving and enlightened at the same time. If you are not strict with the people, you might actually hurt them!"
When You Ji heard this, he still didn’t take it seriously:
"Ji Ji has always been convinced by what the doctor said. However, I may not agree with this matter. Ji Shi doesn't know, since the doctor is so close to the people, how could he think so?"
"Ji, remember, you must listen to what I say today, otherwise it will only increase your troubles in the future! The overseas Chinese's governance is indeed friendly to the people, but it is precisely because of this that the whole country of Zheng is now like this. Such extravagant spending! That’s why Fengduan is able to accomplish such things!"
When Li Ran heard this, he couldn't help but admire Zichan. Because as a person from the future, he is too familiar with the situation Zichan is talking about now.
However, after all, this was Zichan explaining the funeral arrangements to You Ji, and it was not convenient for him to explain directly forward. Therefore, he just stayed aside and said nothing.
But You Ji obviously still disagreed. After all, what he saw was that the whole country of Zheng was moving towards stability and prosperity under the leadership of Zichan.
That being the case, how could he be wrong if he just follows Xiao Gui and Cao Sui in the future?
Zichan saw that he never took his words to heart, and couldn't help but feel worried. But there is nothing to be done about it, You Ji is a good guy, so asking him to be strict with others is really making things difficult for him.
But in terms of his prestige and support for his reforms, You Ji is the only person Zichan can trust now.
"Ji, after you become the minister of power, you should listen more to Ziming's opinions. You are also old acquaintances. Even if Qiao doesn't say much, you must know it too."
"Doctor, although I don't have a close relationship with Ziming, his talent is obvious to everyone in the world. Please be at ease, doctor."
"Don't worry, Doctor Zichan, I will do my best to live up to your great trust!"
Zichan looked at it, nodded slightly, and then closed his eyes. He had spoken too much today and consumed too much of his energy.
But at this time, Li Ran had to continue:
"In addition, there is another thought. Although Deng Xi had a bad relationship with the doctor before, he has the ability to govern the country after all. If he can be allowed to return to Zheng, Zheng will be safe in the future!"
Hearing this, Zichan couldn't help but slightly opened his eyes:
"Oh? Then...is he still willing to come back?"
"We don't know what he thinks. But we also know that he is a well-educated man. He will not be willing to live in a mere corner of Ye Yi. Only by coming to Zheng Yi can he display his talents! "
Zichan nodded slightly.
"It would be best if he is willing to come back. Uncle Zi, if this Deng Xi comes back, you must make use of him. This person has great talents and may be able to help you!"
When Youji heard the sound, he immediately responded:
"No! Yuji understands."
Seeing that Zichan needed a rest and was already feeling exhausted, Li Ran and You Ji wanted to quit. But at this moment, it was reported that Fan Yang, the Central Army of Jin Dynasty, came to visit.
Fan Yang came to represent the Jin State, but his son was nowhere to be seen in the court, so he came to visit him.
In fact, the Jin Kingdom is now in chaos, and the six ministers are constantly fighting. The ruling minister Wei Shu is also an extremely capable person, but his force is unable to cope with it after all. Therefore, most of the other hereditary ministers in Jin were not very interested in him, especially the one who came now, Fan Yang.
Fan Yang came to Zheng State this time, obviously in the name of mourning, but actually to test the current situation of Zheng State.
After all, the current situation in the Jin Kingdom is in chaos, and Fan Yang, as the Chinese army, naturally wants to make a difference.
And the most promising one is undoubtedly the land grabbing war.
As the saying goes, "Kill you while you are sick." If they, Fan, can find some clues from the recent chaos in Zheng State, then he will be able to make a name for himself.
If you win a big victory, you will not only get some land. Moreover, the right to speak in the Jin Dynasty's court might also be able to directly overpower Wei Shu.
However, Fan Yang did not think about which country to blame. As its neighbor, Zheng State is also famous as a "state of repetition" in history, so of course it became his best choice!
Therefore, Fan Yang's trip had a clear purpose. Zichan knew this very well, so he did not ask Li Ran and You Ji to avoid it, but let Fan Yang come in directly.
Soon, Fan Yang entered the house, saw Zichan on the hospital bed, and hurriedly saluted:
"Zuo Yang of the Jin Army has met Dr. Zichan!"
Fan Yang was in his forties. He looked strong and strong, with a strong aura between his brows and eyes, but he was obviously hiding it.
Zichan forced himself in front of Fan Yang and raised his hand slightly.
"Fan Zhongjun doesn't need to be polite."
Fan Yang's identity at this time was the left of the Central Army of the Jin Kingdom. As the nominal second-in-command of Jin State, his status is not low. In fact, Fan Yang belongs to the Jindong group east of the Taihang Mountains like the Zhonghang family, the Zhi family, and even the Zhao family in Handan, and his fiefdoms are closely related to those of Wei, Lu, Zheng, and even It's the Zhou royal family, they all followed directly!
Moreover, the Fan family was related by marriage to the Liu family who was in charge of the Zhou royal family at that time. Therefore, in terms of reputation, the Fan family of Jin completely overshadowed Wei Zhu, who was the commander-in-chief of the Central Army at the time.
"Fan Zhongjun has a lot of things to do every day. It is not easy to come to our country of Zheng as a guest. You have worked hard all the way!"
"Doctor Zichan's words are serious. Yang Yang has also heard about what happened in Zheng State before. It is really sad..."
A lot of things happened in the Zheng State during this period. The Four Kingdoms were conflagrated, the Ji clan was destroyed, and then the Zheng merchants were persecuted on a large scale and either died or fled. These all cast a shadow over the Zheng State, which was originally founded as a merchant country. haze.
In addition, recently, the ruling minister Feng Duan died mysteriously, and Si Dai, the leader of the Si clan, also died violently.
These successive changes would look like a violent storm to any small country.
Therefore, in this case, it is inevitable that someone with ulterior motives will catch the pigtails.
Zichan knew that the person who came was not kind, so he did not accept Fan Yang's words, but interrupted him directly and introduced You Ji and Li Ran to him.
Fan Yang couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard Li Ran's name.
"Two great names, Yang Yang is also like thunder!"
Li Ran smiled and said:
"Haha, the villain just has a false reputation, and he has actually insulted your respect."
After the two met, Zichan got back to his business and said:
"By the way, I wonder why Fan Zhongjun came to our country of Zheng this time?"
Zichan actually asked this question knowingly, but he had to ask it. When he spoke these words, his tone was slightly lower and somewhat coercive.
Zichan was such a smart man. He had actually seen Fan Yang's thoughts clearly.
He knew that he was about to die soon, so if he didn't handle it properly at this moment, Zheng Guo might be in trouble again in the future.
