Although I kept Zhang Liang, I did not let him follow me. After all, he was a dangerous person, and I was worried that he was just pretending to submit to me.
I asked Meng He to tell him the contents of the court meeting every day. If he had any suggestions, Meng He would report back to me. But so far, this person has been Xu Shu entering Cao's camp without saying a word.
Soon Zhang Liang came in. I asked Lan'er to pour two cups of tea, then looked at him and said, "How are you doing?"
Zhang Liang's body has almost recovered, and he still looks like he is aloof from the world.
After hearing what I said, he picked up the cup and took a sip without politeness, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Emperor. Everything is fine."
I smiled and responded: "Emperor is already the special title of the late emperor, just call me His Majesty."
Zhang Liang replied: "Yes, I wonder why your Majesty called Liang here?"
I stared at him for a while, and when I saw that he had no response, I said, "I ordered Meng He to tell you the content of the court meeting every day, but I heard that you didn't have any reaction after reading it, so I wanted to ask you to ask. Ask me, what do you think of what I have been doing these days?"
Seeing my sincere question, Zhang Liang put down his cup and said sternly: "Liang is very impressed. Liang had heard before that His Majesty studied under a great Confucian scholar and always had a heart of benevolence, but he did not expect to be involved in hundreds of schools of thought. Liang heard that After His Majesty's changes in agriculture, military affairs, and fortifications, it was not that he had no reaction at all, but he really didn't know how to react. What a good person has learned is the way to govern a country, not the way to do things."
I nodded and asked, "Then do you think what I did was right or wrong?"
Zhang Liang was silent for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I forgive you, I don't know the truth."
Seeing that he wasn't trying to deal with me, I didn't continue to ask.
I replied: "It doesn't matter. I have another thing I want to hear your opinion on."
He turned to Xingzhong and Lan'er and said, "You two go out first, I have important matters to discuss with Zhang Liang."
Xing Zhong hesitated for a moment, then Zhang Liang smiled knowingly: "My lord, don't worry. As your Majesty said, Liang will not dig his own grave."
Seeing me nodding, Xingzhong backed away. I accidentally glanced at Lan'er and saw Lan'er secretly glancing at Xing Zhong, and I smiled in my heart. I was afraid that this little girl was attracted to Xing Zhong.
After the two of them went out, I suppressed my smile and asked Zhang Liang bluntly: "I want to know who are the people who conspired with you to rebel against Qin, or do you know where the people who conspired against Qin are?"
Zhang Liang seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and said: "The people who followed Liang have been killed long ago, otherwise Liang would not live in the Xiang family. You know, the Xiang family is not easy to get along with. As for other people who oppose Qin, Different ways do not work together, and good people have never come into contact."
Seeing that I didn't answer, Zhang Liang continued: "Liang Liang had already predicted that Your Majesty would ask this question, and also guessed that His Majesty would not believe Liang's words. I can only tell Your Majesty that what Liang said is not false."
After staring at Zhang Liang for a long time, I couldn't tell whether what he said was true or false.
Helpless, I continued to ask: "Then what do you think I should do with these people if I catch them?"
I really haven't figured out how to deal with these people right now. Kill directly? There are so many people who may not be able to be killed, and there is a risk of arousing greater resistance. How can they all be used for their own purposes like Zhang Liang? It's impossible, there are too many people, and if the environment changes, it's hard to say whether they are heroes or bears.
Zhang Liang thought for a while and then replied: "Does Your Majesty have confidence in his national policy?"
I paused and said: "For ordinary Guizhou people, I have confidence. I believe that my national policy will definitely enable Guizhou people to live and work in peace and contentment."
Zhang Liang asked back: "Since Your Majesty believes that he can make the people of the world prosperous, why do you still worry about someone continuing to rebel against Qin? If everyone can have enough food and clothing, Liang believes that no one will choose to follow him at the risk of losing his head. ... People like us are rebelling, what do you think, Your Majesty?"
I pondered for a while and said: "This is the truth, but after all, the implementation of my national policy takes time. What if these people start to cause chaos before the national policy takes effect?"
"Your Majesty can send people to keep those people under surveillance. Liang thinks that these people can be divided into two types. One is those who really think about the people of the world and are wholeheartedly anti-Qin. If they see your Majesty's actions of loving and cherishing the people, they will They must be like Liang and choose to stop fighting and live a good life; the other is people like the Xiang family who want to overthrow the Qin Dynasty for their own interests. No matter what national policy your Majesty makes, even if the people of the world eat meat and have their families Even if they have a tile-roofed house, they will still oppose His Majesty."
"As for the former, once their anti-Qin intentions are slightly reduced, they will still be citizens of the Qin Dynasty; for the latter, once they discover the intention to cause trouble, it will not be too late to arrest them. Since your Majesty asked Liang how to deal with them, he must have already dealt with them. I know my whereabouts like the back of my hand.”
After listening to Zhang Liang's words, I nodded slightly. Now it seems that this is the best way to deal with it. There is no need to kill a lot, and there is no need to think about how to deal with a group of people who don't know their roots.
Thinking of this, I felt a little at ease.
I looked Zhang Liang up and down and said, "Sir, you are indeed a great talent. You solved a headache for me. How can I thank you?"
Zhang Liang raised the corners of his mouth, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "What Liang does is just for the people."
I stood up and said, "I will give you a reward. The time has not come yet. Sir, just don't be suspicious of me. If you need anything, just tell Meng He."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After sending Zhang Liang away, I was in a good mood. Since he opened his mouth to advise me today, I am not afraid that he will continue to keep silent in the future!
Then I called Xingzhong in.
Based on my memory, I wrote down one by one those who fought against Qin in the late Qin Dynasty. I have written down all the people whose names are mentioned in the history books in detail. I am not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. I am afraid of not knowing which rebellion will be the beginning of the end of the fate of Great Qin.
Fortunately, the rebellion between Xiang Yu and Zhang Liang did not take off, otherwise I might not be the one sitting in Xianyang now.
After I finished writing it, I checked it carefully several times to make sure I didn't miss anything, and then handed the list to Xing Zhong. He warned solemnly: "Arrange the clean room to secretly monitor the people on this list. You must not be discovered, and you must not let this list leak. Only you can see the list, and clean rooms are not allowed to pry on each other. This is This matter is top secret and only you and I know about it. If it is leaked out, I will never forgive you!"
I have always been very kind to the people around me. This was the first time I saw me being so strict in Xingzhong. He also said attentively: "I accept this order. If it is leaked, no one in the clean room will live to see your majesty!"
Seeing that Xing Zhong knew how powerful he was, I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This matter is really of great importance. Don't let me down."
Xing Zhong nodded in agreement.
I suddenly thought of Lan'er outside the door, and a smile appeared on my lips: "What do you think of Lan'er?"
Xing Zhong raised his head in astonishment. The contrast between the previous and the previous was a bit big. His mind did not turn around for a moment, and he replied hesitantly: "Your Majesty, I have not discovered that Lan'er has done anything nefarious. Do you want me to investigate?"
I suppressed my smile and said, "What a fool. Lan'er has been with me since she was a child, and you still need you to investigate? Go and do what I asked you to do."
Xing Zhong resigned with a question mark on his head.
When I saw Lan'er coming in to refill the tea and Xing Zhong, who had a puzzled look on his face, I hadn't been so happy for a long time. I finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, leaving Lan'er confused...
