"His Majesty……"
The monarch and his ministers sat across the table, and Zhao Si, the food companion, accompanied the First Emperor to dinner as always.
"What's the matter?" The First Emperor was enjoying the meat soup by himself without raising his head.
Now that the First Emperor's diet has returned to normal, the skills of the imperial chef are still worth mentioning. Under normal circumstances, if there is nothing else, Zhao Si will just wolf down his food without speaking in the middle of the meal.
"It's like this. I want to recommend two talents to you." Zhao Si said.
Lang Guan!
That was Da Qin's official reserve, a place where key talents were trained. Even Yilang, to be honest, it was not that easy to get into. Even Meng Yi did not have the right to directly approve people to enter the ranks of Langzhongling and become Langguan.
"Caught yesterday?" The First Emperor put down his spoon and looked at Zhao Si.
"Please, please come." Zhao Si smiled awkwardly.
Nowadays, Zhao Si's method of hiring retainers has almost become a recognized pleasure. However, it should be said that most of Zhao Si's current retainers started from humble beginnings. For them, being caught once does not actually affect anything. On the contrary, When everyone is caught, there will be a revolutionary friendship of sympathy for each other.
"What position do you want?" The First Emperor rolled up his sleeves.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I am here to recruit talents for the country, but I can't bear to see talents buried, but I don't rely on your Majesty's closeness to control the official position." Zhao Si scratched his head and corrected the First Emperor's statement.
"Let's talk..." The First Emperor paused but did not refute Zhao Si. This boy is quite honest. At least for now, what Zhao Si did was really to recruit scholars for the country, and he had no selfish motives. If it weren't for Zhang Cang After struggling to maintain it, Zhao Si's retainers had already dispersed.
It can be seen that Zhao Si actually just borrowed a name and did not really intend to form his own force.
Because of this, the First Emperor was always very generous when Zhao Si asked for official positions.
"It's like this. I arrested a total of nine people in Pei County this time... and invited two of them, one is Xiao He and the other is Cao Shen. They both serve as officials in Pei County. In my opinion, In Zhang Cang's opinion, both of them have the talent of Wang Zuo, and they are indeed the treasures in the ocean.
The two have been officials for many years, and Qin's laws have been learned by heart, and they are even more comfortable in handling affairs. What they lack now is just because of their humble status before, and their inability to access more knowledge and systems. Therefore, I want to recommend them to become Yilang and continue their studies. "Zhao Si pondered for a moment and said.
"How talented is Wang Zuo?" The First Emperor smiled.
If someone else said this, it might be a bit funny, but if it were said by Zhao Si, even though this kid always looked out of tune, he still had credibility.
Facts have proven countless times, don't take Zhao Si's words as a joke.
Especially for the First Emperor who had experienced the incident in the sand dunes, he valued and trusted Zhao Si much more, and paid more attention to Zhao Si's behavior.
Even the existing retainers under Zhao Si were carefully investigated by the First Emperor.
The First Emperor also truly affirmed Zhao Si's unremarkable ability to tell people.
"How does it compare to Chen Ping?" asked the First Emperor.
When the First Emperor asked this question, Zhao Si knew that the First Emperor had already touched him deeply.
Now it seems that not only himself, but also some people related to him have also entered the sight of the First Emperor. Otherwise, even if the First Emperor knew that Chen Ping was talented, he would not regard Chen Ping as a measurement unit for Wang Zuo's talent.
The First Emperor paid too much attention to himself, but Zhao Si didn't care. He had done so many unexplainable things, not to mention that he was still in human form, walking around auspiciously and changing positions. If he were the First Emperor, , I’m afraid I’ve long been eager to put a surveillance camera on myself.
It doesn't matter, Zhao Si had thought about it before the Dune Change, and it's not a bad thing to be left or right.
Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Zhao Si responded to the question posed by the First Emperor: "Cao Shen may not be as good as Chen Ping, but compared with Chen Ping, Xiao He is no worse or better."
Zhao Si carefully gave his own evaluation based on history.
To be fair, Xiao He is definitely the well-deserved number one hero of the Han Empire. This is something that no one can take away and everyone is convinced of it.
It is difficult to compare Cao Shen and Chen Ping, but Xiao He must be firmly ranked as the number one hero in the early Han Dynasty.
The First Emperor nodded.
It was precisely because of paying more attention to Zhao Si that the First Emperor had a clearer understanding of the talents of Zhao Si's disciples.
In the past, no matter what they said, it was nothing more than one-sided words. Now, in his spare time, the First Emperor would even personally ask Dun Rui to compile data and analyze their abilities.
This also led to the discovery that Chen Ping was indeed a well-deserved talent.
His academic attainments have been vaguely on par with Zhang Cang's, and his various thoughts have become more mature. What he lacks now is practice.
As long as Chen Ping is given some time to practice, Chen Ping will be able to reach the same height as Zhang Cang sooner or later.
As for Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, they were working under Dunwei's hands, not to mention the people under his nose, and they were well-deserved talents with two thousand stones.
Li Shiqi and Han Xin arrived in Longxi for the first time, but have not yet taken action, and because the distance is too far, it is difficult to analyze.
Now two more talents have emerged who are comparable to Chen Ping...
Facts have proved once again that sometimes, even if it is a joke, what comes out of Zhao Si's mouth may not be just a joke.
Obviously, the First Emperor chose to believe Zhao Si again.
In fact, it doesn't matter if Zhao Si is wrong. The two Langguan are indeed crucial, but he will give it to Zhao Si if he asks.
Zhao Si is the candidate he has high hopes for. There is no reason for such a talent to only be allowed to succeed and not allow him to make any mistakes.
"In this case, let's transfer the two of them to become Yilang. In addition, Chen Ping does not need to be an official. Let's transfer them to Lang Zhongling and become Langguan." The First Emperor pondered for a moment and said.
Lang Guan!
But the position of Thousand Generals is much more important than Han Xin's, and they were given to three at a time.
If you don't take away the Sangong and Jiuqing, to put it bluntly, you are using the private power of the First Emperor.
The current situation of Da Qin is there. Without merit, no matter whether it is a civil official or a military officer, there is no chance of promotion.
To go through the formal review process, Chen Ping, Xiao He, Cao Shen and others had to be removed immediately, and they were not qualified to touch Lang Guan's side.
Naturally, the First Emperor also had his own ideas. Now that the grand tour of the world was coming to an end, the Qiangui Order was getting closer and closer. Although Li Si was standing in front of him, the meal that should be eaten by Zhao Si was still indispensable. There had to be someone. Hands available.
Zhao Si is not a ranger recruited. These people are indeed talented and hard-working. There is no need to just follow Zhao Si and eat and drink. Moreover, Zhao Si really needs to have something to show his leadership status.
Zhao Si may not be able to understand these things, but Zhang Cang can definitely understand them, otherwise he would not have asked Zhao Si to recommend talents to him.
"This! I thank your Majesty!" Zhao Si was overjoyed.
OK OK!
By directly recommending three lieutenants at once, the people in the team will be stabilized.
There is a precedent here, Zhao Si can also draw cakes for everyone generously, and everyone will believe that as long as they follow Zhao Si, they will have a bright future.
Joining Lang Zhongling and becoming a Langguan is one of the shortcuts to skyrocketing.
"Aren't you recruiting scholars for the country and are loyal to the public? Why are you grateful?" The First Emperor teased.
"They are still a little selfish. After all, they have become my disciples and regard me as their lord..." Zhao Si scratched his head.
After all, he is the one who collects stamps, but the person who pays for his official duties is the First Emperor.
"Is there anything else?" Seeing that Zhao Si had not moved much, the First Emperor continued to ask.
"There is still a small thing." Zhao Si said.
"Didn't your Majesty ask me to check the memorials sent from Kuaiji County to the imperial court when I was in Xianyang? I have felt something recently." Zhao Si said.
"What did you find?" The First Emperor smiled.
In fact, he had already discovered something fishy about Kuaiji. This time he was going on a grand tour of the world and had to deal with it after passing through Kuaiji.
"It's too fake and too peaceful." Zhao Si frowned and said.
"Logically speaking, this is the Chu land. The Chu land is the farthest away from the pass. There are also many barbarians, and there are many people who disobey discipline. If capable ministers and officials want to use their fists, they will definitely make big moves. But After Yin Tong, the governor of Kuaiji County, took office, except for the first two years when the clan wiped out a few nobles, there was no action later, but the whole of Kuaiji has always been smooth and there have been no more troubles." Zhao Si shook his head.
"Yin Tong was also a Langguan, and he had made great achievements before serving as a county guard. Maybe it was because of his outstanding governance?" The First Emperor smiled.
"This is also what worries me. If it is just because of suspicion, there is no way to push Lang Zhongling to send Lang Guan to inspect Kuaiji according to the established procedures. The speed is too slow and the purpose is too obvious. He has plenty of time to deal with it.
I would like to ask Your Majesty to order Hei Bingtai to secretly conduct a thorough investigation and catch the evidence. If any problems are found, arrests will be made directly. If no problems are found, Lang Guan will be dispatched step by step to continue the investigation from the local area. "Zhao Si said.
Isn't that what the Black Ice Platform does?
Before the Black Ice Platform, it was not that simple to organize a thorough investigation.
They have done a good job, and the financial statements and public security reports are all beautiful. It is not that simple to set up a special task force. Even if the First Emperor set up a special task force to organize an investigation against all the opinions, there are too many hands and feet that can be used to conduct an investigation on the surface. too much.
"Catching wind and shadows? It may cause criticism. How should we solve it?" The First Emperor smiled.
"Isn't this exactly the effect that Black Ice Platform should have? If such a department, which is independent of the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers, can win the admiration of the civil and military officials of the court, then His Majesty will have to consider whether there is something wrong with Black Ice Platform?
Besides, Heibingtai's torture is independent of Jiu Qing. How to investigate, how to arrest, and how to interrogate are all under His Majesty's control. There won't be any big trouble. Besides, His Majesty, you saw the clues in Xianyang. , isn’t now the time for Hei Bingtai to show off his skills? "
It is because Jiuqing's local censorship is so easy to fool that there are so many people who are lucky.
After all, everyone is within the system and most of them are familiar with the process. It is not a matter of principle, and it is not that difficult to fool them.
Black Ice Terrace is different.
This department has decided from its birth that he must be unjust.
This is a sharp knife. The sharp knife inward is also a sharp sword hanging over the heads of officials.
The First Emperor smiled and said nothing. It was rare that Zhao Si could start thinking about the problem.
(Everyone should buy a monthly ticket at the beginning of the month!)
