Seeing Fusu being so serious, everyone looked at each other.
Du He waved his sleeves and asked without hesitation: "Although I intend to help, the matter is very involved, and we have to investigate it. May I ask Your Majesty, what is Your Majesty's attitude towards this?"
Du He asked again about the First Emperor's attitude.
Fusu's expression remained unchanged and he said solemnly: "This is just my personal idea."
Yao Jia took the words and refused directly: "Your Majesty did not speak. I dare not take any rash action. Your Highness should know that there are millions of lieutenants in the Great Qin Army, and the number of soldiers who have served in the past twenty years is even higher." How can such a huge army, millions of people, act rashly?"
"Once something goes wrong, it will be a disaster for Da Qin."
"I really don't dare to take any action."
"Your Highness, please forgive me."
Hu Wujing also raised his head and said: "Your Highness, we are not the ones to interfere in the affairs of the army. Your Highness asked us about your plans, which is really embarrassing for us. Your Majesty has not spoken, and we really dare not act rashly, and your Highness may It’s really too much to worry about.”
"Master Hu Hai was attacked in Lingnan, and the ministers were also shocked."
"But the memorial submitted by General Zhao Tuo made it very clear that it was indeed an accident, and it was indeed the words of Master Hu Hai in the army that aroused the anger and panic of the Baiyue people, so that these Baiyue people Choosing to take a desperate risk was just an accident from beginning to end."
"Your Highness's current worries may be unfounded."
Others nodded.
They are not allowed to interfere in military affairs, and His Majesty has not spoken, so who dares to get into trouble?
See this.
Fusu frowned.
He also felt a little thorny.
These old foxes can't get enough of it, and they have been trying to evade it, but they just don't want to deal with it head on.
Although he had expected it, he felt a little angry for no reason when hearing these old foxes keep throwing questions around.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his dissatisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "So this time we are just discussing it first."
"Things have to be resolved."
"Some things are just like the dust in the house. The dust will not disappear by itself without a broom. Since I, Fusu, already know and have noticed it, I will not let it go. If I continue to let it go and let the military morale fluctuate, then To Da Qin, this is truly unacceptable."
"Right now I just want to ask you to think of a solution for Fusu."
"Why are you making such excuses?"
Fusu's tone gradually became colder.
The atmosphere in the hall was slightly stagnant.
See this.
Li Si said in a deep voice: "How does Your Highness want to solve it?"
Fusu said: "Decent."
"Let some problems in the military be resolved with dignity."
"The imperial court will reward the knights that were owed in the past to as many people as possible, so that the soldiers will no longer have any resentment, and these elite soldiers of the Qin Dynasty who shed their lives and blood for the country will receive the rewards they deserve."
"Old Qin people should be the real winners in the world."
The words have not yet finished.
Yao Jia interrupted directly: "Your Highness, be careful what you say."
"His Majesty once said when he founded the country that there is no distinction between old and new Qin people in the world. His Majesty brought up this old matter again. If His Majesty knew about it, he would definitely face a lot of criticism. Your Majesty is the Crown Prince of Qin. How can you say that it is so inappropriate? Word?"
Fusu glanced at Yao Jia coldly and said indifferently: "If you don't say something, does it mean you don't have it?"
"The distinction between the old and new Qin people in Da Qin has always existed and has never been erased. Even this prejudice will always exist. In my opinion, the main reason is that the imperial court owes the old Qin people in Guanzhong, so it I subconsciously prefer the old Qin people in my heart."
"The debts owed to military meritorious officials are never honored, and this bias will always exist."
"Because the problem still lies in one point."
"The old Qin people did not receive the due rewards, so the distinction between the new and old Qin people will always exist. If the imperial court subsequently honors the merit rewards, the imperial court will no longer owe the old Qin people. Under such circumstances, it can naturally be done easily There is no distinction between old and new.”
"All the people in the world are the people of Da Qin!"
"But now how can you be blind and pretend you can't see when you close your eyes?"
"You can pretend you can't see it."
"Fusu can't."
"So this time Fusu does not want to discuss with the ministers, but wants to ask you, Ji Yu, if you can properly solve the long-standing shortcomings of the Great Qin Army and completely resolve some of the old harshness of the Great Qin since Shang Jun's reform. , so that Da Qin’s internal affairs will be completely stable.”
"If the army is determined, the Qin Dynasty will be safe."
"What do you think?"
Fusu looked at the ministers below with earnest eyes.
The palace was quiet.
Li Si frowned.
He had already seen that Fusu was not just testing, but was really thinking about it.
This made him feel slightly unhappy.
As of now, Fusu does not have the so-called imperial talent.
The so-called emperor's talent is based on the world's heart that is different from ordinary people's heart.
This kind of heart for the world can be said to be cold, lust for power, and a cannibalistic character that treats all people as nothing but grass. However, we have to admit that the heart of an emperor who leads the world really cannot have the benevolence of ordinary people. I am ready to say , the emperor's kindness cannot be expressed by ordinary people's kindness.
after all
The emperor must have both the interests and the interests of the world in mind, and must not have the grudges and grudges of ordinary people.
If ordinary people are benevolent, then it is certain that even an ordinary general cannot do well, let alone an emperor? !
Now Fusu is trying to change the existing situation because of his own selfish thoughts. This is really too pretentious and too natural.
Doesn’t Your Majesty know about the affairs in the army?
How come Fu Su came to point out and point at the wheel?
However, even if His Majesty knew it, he never really cared about it, and even if the imperial court owed the soldiers and soldiers, so what? Do the army sergeants really dare to rebel?
There are always people to sacrifice in this world.
In Li Si's view, the army is the hound in the hands of His Majesty.
It is just an animal that serves its master. The owner can certainly appreciate the hard work of the hound animal, but how can he use the hound animal to listen to the owner's decision-making will?
Isn't this ridiculous? !
Others frowned as well.
They were very puzzled by Fusu's thoughts.
Since nothing happened in the army, why should we act rashly?
Can the military affairs be easily touched?
If it is not handled properly, does Fusu know what consequences will result? If we make decisions in a hurry based solely on the excitement of our brains, wouldn't we be treating the political affairs of the Qin Dynasty as child's play?
absurd!
I saw that all the ministers were silent.
Fusu sighed deeply in his heart. He knew that Ji Heng was right again.
The less you do, the less mistakes you make, and the less you do, the better.
As long as there is no problem, it means there is no problem.
If you want the ministers to take it seriously, you can't persuade it with just a prince, nor can you do it with good words.
The smile on Fusu's face stopped abruptly and was replaced by a look of indifference.
He said indifferently: "I know you don't want to pay attention to it, and you don't want to pay attention to it at all, but there are some things that need to be explained in advance."
"I, Fusu, didn't do this on the spur of the moment."
"But I have my own thoughts."
"The Empire is never peaceful."
"In the past, the entire empire has been immersed in a state of 'peace in the world' and 'impurity', but this situation is truly deceiving itself. If Da Qin wants to completely stabilize the world, it must face up to the current situation."
"Great Qin's energy should not continue to focus on building a civilized world, but should turn its attention to investigating the undercurrent of restoration. In my opinion, Great Qin should vigorously eliminate foreign invaders externally, and suppress the restoration internally."
“Those two things go hand in hand.”
"It's also a closely connected whole."
"Suppression and restoration must be based on clearing up long-term border troubles, and consolidating border areas must be based on cleaning up internal affairs. But both of these things have a major prerequisite."
"It means Guanzhong is stable."
"You are all important ministers of the Qin Dynasty."
"He knows the current situation of Da Qin very well."
"It's much clearer and more realistic than what I, Fusu, can see."
"You also know better than me the situation in Guanzhong in recent years. The Lishan rebellion two years ago, the bandit leader Qian Bu fled, and is still caught today, and His Majesty was attacked in Lanchi, etc. This is enough to show that the situation in Guanzhong is The situation is not as good as it is said to be.”
"It's getting worse."
"Fusu doesn't understand what big policy you are planning."
"In Fusu's view, Da Qin's first priority should be to consolidate its foundation."
"Strengthen the pass!"
"You don't dare to talk about the old and new Qin people, then let me, Fusu, do it."
“Old Qin people are the foundation of Great Qin.”
"He is also the real hero of the Qin Dynasty that was able to wipe out the six kingdoms and unify the six kingdoms. To consolidate the foundation of the Qin Dynasty, the first thing to consolidate is the hearts of the old Qin people."
"The most important thing among them is the army!"
"You think what happened in the South China Sea was just an accident."
"But I, Fusu, don't think so. I think this is a sign that the military's morale is wavering."
"It is even more of a shake of the old Qin people's confidence in the imperial court."
"If the skin is gone, how can the hair be attached?"
"If the people of Lao Qin have no confidence in the imperial court, no matter how great the imperial court does, what's the use? They will just continue to deceive themselves and others."
"The morale of the military is the morale of the people."
"It represents the attitude of the old Qin people towards the imperial court."
“There will be no room for any slights.”
"In the eyes of the nobles, there is no distinction between old and new Qin people in the world, but if something happens to Great Qin, who do you think will be the ones who can really contribute to Great Qin?"
"New Qin people from Guandong?"
Fusu Leng looked at the courtiers below and continued: "The restoration of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms has been secretly planned, and it is bound to come. Da Qin must respond with an attitude of preparing for a decisive battle, instead of continuing to whitewash peace and sing about tranquility."
"Without the determination to completely wipe out the nobles of the six countries, Da Qin's New Deal cannot be truly consolidated."
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not."
"I, Fusu, will win the hearts of the old Qin people again."
"Because the people of Old Qin are the foundation of Great Qin, and only the people of Old Qin are the ones that Great Qin can truly rely on and trust. In the past, Great Qin owed Old Qin a lot. Now that Great Qin has conquered the world, it should deal with the past. The debts of the old Qin people will be paid one by one."
"I, Fusu, would rather make mistakes than do nothing."
The words fell.
The already silent hall was now even more dead.
The ministers looked at each other with a solemn look in their eyes. Fusu's words actually revealed his thoughts secretly. Fusu did not think that the world was really peaceful, but that the empire had always been spied on by various forces. In the past, the court paid too much attention to it. There are big policies and new policies, but the fundamentals have been neglected.
What Fusu wanted to do was to consolidate Guanzhong.
Strengthen the hearts of the old Qin people.
Li Si's expression softened slightly.
He is not worried that Fusu has his own opinions, he is more worried that Fusu does not have his own ideas. As the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, of course he must remain loyal as always, but if Fusu makes a decision completely out of the heat of his head, this is Li Si Wanwan's fault. unacceptable.
At this moment, Fusu had obviously thought carefully.
It does make some sense.
It's just that Fusu's political views are vaguely contradictory to His Majesty's.
The new policies implemented by Da Qin in recent years are all in line with His Majesty's will. A rash turn will undoubtedly be another torment for the world, and may also cause His Majesty's dissatisfaction.
but.
Are Fusu's words really Fusu's personal thoughts?
Li Si hesitated.
Du He, Yao Jia and others frowned. They took a deep look at Fusu. They did not expect that Fusu would express all his true thoughts, and they did not know how to refute them.
a long time.
Li Si and others finally gave in.
Li Si said in a deep voice: "Your Highness has such great ambitions. This is the blessing of the Qin Dynasty. However, the number of soldiers in the army is as high as one million. In the past twenty years, there are even more soldiers who have won military honors. Such a huge reward is simply beyond the reach of the imperial court." Cashed in.”
"Great Qin has indeed taken over the world."
"It's just still not enough."
"Most of these soldiers are Guanzhong people. They have grown up in Guanzhong since they were young. The land in Guanzhong is limited and has long been inseparable. It is not because the imperial court is unwilling to give it, but because it really cannot give it. As for the land in Guandong, the imperial court has also asked the soldiers. It is precisely because of this that there is mutual migration of populations between Guandong and Guanzhong.”
"But there are only a few people who are willing to leave their homeland."
Fusu nodded.
Of course he understands this.
He said: "That's why I called you here because I want you to think about whether there is any other way to realize the rewards under the military merit system without having to distribute the land and houses."
Hear the words.
Everyone frowned.
Du He said solemnly: "Your Highness, there is really no way to solve this problem. If there is a solution, the imperial court will not always suppress it. Farms and houses are almost the only thing for soldiers."
Fusu snorted coldly and slammed the table.
He said coldly: "I believe there is always a way."
"As long as you are willing to put your mind to it."
"If you can't give Tianzhai, then give it to someone else. I, Fusu, don't believe it. The only reward I, Da Qin, can give is Tianzhai?"
"in addition."
"You don't have to give me any more excuses."
"This is not a negotiation."
"It's a notice!"
"It's an order!!!"
"I will give you three days. After three days, I will hold a banquet in Yong Palace to entertain you again. I believe that you will give me a satisfactory answer by then."
Finished.
Fusu waved his sleeves and left.
Everyone looked at each other.
Fusu's words were completely beyond their expectations, and his attitude was too tough and determined.
Li Si looked at the direction Fusu was leaving, with a deep thought in his eyes. He turned back to look at Du He and the others, and left without staying in the side hall.
Not long after.
Everyone in the palace left one after another.
After all the ministers left, Fusu turned around and returned to the main hall.
Looking at the empty hall, Fusu sighed. The last words were given by Ji Heng. You should act like a king and you don't need to be polite to the courtiers.
It's just that Fusu has a gentle personality after all, and the previous words are the ultimate.
