Ying Zheng looked at Fusu's back and sighed heavily.
Fusu is too immature.
Although there have been some changes now, they are not enough.
Far from enough!
Those who are ignorant of power and strategy, do not know the art of politics, and do not understand the ways of kings and ministers will eventually lose their power and lose their country.
He actually didn't have many expectations for Fusu, he only hoped that he could protect the world, but now that Fusu had made great progress, his expectations for Fusu couldn't help but be a little higher.
"Some truths, if you understand them, you understand them; if you don't understand them, you don't understand them."
"Even if I tell you forcefully, if you don't understand it clearly, I will only end up harming you."
"After all, I am impatient."
"The art of monarchy and art does not depend on personal likes and dislikes."
"But the rule of law will."
"Back then, Tian Dan rebelled against the Kingdom of Yan, and King Yan Zhao had unique insights and had no doubts about Le Yi. However, when King Yan Zhao died, Tian Dan once again used his rebellion skills, but King Yan Hui immediately fell into the trap and deposed Le Yi. , so that the reform planned by Le Yi died midway, and the Yan Kingdom fell into great decline and was unable to recover."
"What's the reason?"
"It's just that King Yan Hui doesn't have the ability to see the overall situation."
"Only when a monarch controls the power of the rule of law to perfection can he still benefit from corruption when influenced by selfish desires, and not let his 'power' fall too far."
"The only thing in the world is weapons and names, not fake people!"
"If utilitarianism is not maintained, the world will change hands."
Ying Zheng shook his head and looked at the books on his desk.
This is Meng Yi's letter.
"Zhao Gao..." Ying Zheng stared at the bamboo slips with cold eyes.
He originally wanted to pardon Zhao Gao.
First of all, Zhao Gao has served him for decades and is easy to use.
Secondly, Zhao Gao is smart. Even when he is in poor health, with Zhao Gao by his side, he can avoid many problems.
He can understand that Hu Hai is close to Zhao Gao.
But he got so close that Hu Hai asked Fusu to plead for Zhao Gao.
This made Ying Zheng wary.
Zhao Gao is very observant and capable. He can usually handle the matters assigned to him very well.
The reason why he wanted to pardon Zhao Gao was mainly because he was in poor health and needed a handy person to help him do some things. When he completed the layout of the court, Zhao Gao would also be dismissed from office. If something happens to him, Fusu can still sit in the court.
Now Fusu has turned around and begun to specialize in political strategy.
And Zhao Gao is his close minister.
If the two become connected over this matter...
Ying Zheng's eyes turned cold.
He could allow Fusu to learn political tactics, because Fusu was the eldest son and his designated prince, and Fusu was not familiar with political tactics, nor was he a person with outstanding talents. If Fusu studied for a few years, it would be difficult to pose a threat to him. , plus Fu Su Zhongxiao, he is not worried about Fu Su Sheng having different intentions.
But Zhao Gao can't.
Zhao Gao is good at franchise.
Staying by your side again, you know too many things.
He doesn't like things that are beyond his control.
This is the thought.
Ying Zheng suppressed the idea of pardoning Zhao Gao.
At least until Fusu didn't give a clear answer, he would not think of pardoning Zhao Gao again.
This can also be regarded as a test for Fusu.
Sunset.
Zongzheng Yingteng returned to the palace with several bamboo slips.
Ying Zheng sat high on it, looked at Zong Zheng calmly, and said, "Ji Heng's situation was found out so quickly?"
Ying Teng said:
"Return to Your Majesty."
"Ji Heng is a member of the Ji clan. With such a rich and distinguished family, it is easy to find out the details."
"When Ji Heng arrived in Xianyang, he was only twelve or thirteen years old, and he didn't do much in Jicheng. During this time, I checked all the Ji clan members in the city, and spent a few days verifying that everything was correct. Only then will Ji Heng’s information be compiled and submitted.”
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
Ying Teng raised the bamboo slip in his hand high above his head.
Ying Zheng looked to the side and signaled. Immediately, a eunuch walked up to Ying Teng softly and bowed respectfully. Then he took the bamboo slips with his hands high and carefully went to Ying Zheng's case and took these few copies. The bamboo slips were placed beside the desk.
Ying Zheng glanced at it briefly, without reading it, and said calmly: "Zong Zheng, tell me about Ji Heng."
"No." Ying Teng responded.
"Ji Heng's lineage is considered a side branch under the Ji family."
"The status in the clan is not high."
"When I was eight years old, I began to read and write, and I was taught by my master for only four years."
"After the fall of the Yan Kingdom, the whole family moved to Xianyang."
"After coming to Xianyang, Ji Heng hung out with Han Xin, the former Korean prince, Tian An, the former Qi prince, and others. However, Han Xin, Tian An, and others were much older than Ji Heng. Ji Heng was at best a small follower. Later, the imperial court moved 500,000 nobles, The powerful ones in Lingnan include Han Xin, Tian An and others."
"And the Ji family was not included in it due to the decline of the family."
"The Guji family has always stayed in Xianyang."
"It's just that because of the declining fortunes of the Ji family, it is difficult to continue to provide for people's squandering. Ji Heng and other children of the Ji family have to consider making a living. Ji Heng is a lazy person who is unwilling to put down his status and become a person who sells his labor. He chooses Go and sell it with some Confucian scholars."
"Multiple verbal abuses were made."
"Seven months ago, I gathered a crowd to slander me again. I was eventually exposed and was thrown into jail."
"He has been in prison ever since."
Ying Zheng's eyes were slightly cold and he said in a deep voice: "How did he slander me?"
"This..." Ying Teng was stunned for a moment.
"explain."
Ying Teng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a trembling voice: "First it was, 'If the Wei water is not washed, the mouth will be prosperous', then it was 'Hu Ye is the one who destroyed Qin'. Seven months ago, it was 'A Fang, A Fang' ,Death...Death of the First Emperor'."
"What else?" Ying Zheng said.
Ying Teng shook his head and said, "That's all I've heard so far."
"Ji Heng used to mainly hang out in Fengyue and didn't know the political principles of the Qin Dynasty at all. In addition, the Yan Kingdom was destroyed and the Ji family declined. He also liked to interact closely with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and Confucian scholars, so he had a deep resentment towards the Qin Dynasty."
"This person cannot live without a king, so trapping and killing him is the most appropriate thing."
"Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning."
Ying Zheng was silent for a while, then suddenly said with a sneer: "Zong Zheng, you have underestimated this person."
"This person is as talented as Wei Liao."
"Wei Liao is good at military affairs and good at strategy and tactics."
"This person is good at politics and understands the general trend of the world."
"I have only been educated for four years, and I am just hanging around in the fences and houses, just to deceive others."
"He was sincere in his interactions with young masters from all over the world, but he didn't expect that the Ji family would decline so quickly, so that he was left in the city. In the end, he had no talent and could only show his authority verbally, and he never expected that Yes, I will suddenly take action against those who 'confuse the public' with their evil words."
"Everything may have its own number of days."
Ying Zheng raised his head and looked outside the hall.
Ying Teng frowned, a little confused.
Ying Zheng withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "This matter needs to be settled."
Ying Teng said: "It's all within the scope of my duties."
"I excuse myself."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly.
When Ying Teng was completely gone, Ying Zheng looked slightly coldly and said, "Ji Heng, you really created a problem for me."
