The younger brother of the First Emperor

Chapter 337: Chang'an curses the King of Qin, Li Sidong goes out to recruit people, and Wang Wan looks for temporary workers
Policies are implemented from top to bottom, and actions taken from the top will have an impact on the lower levels.

But politics is not so simple that you can't just focus on the upper parts and not the lower parts.

It doesn't mean that just because you sit on the supreme throne, the people below you will be loyal to you and have no ulterior motives.

King Zhuangxiang of Qin ascended the throne with his great achievement of destroying the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, the last surviving branch of the Zhou Dynasty, and Lu Buwei took charge of the government with his influence in the Qin government and the country for nearly twenty years.

A new official has three things to do when he takes office, not to mention the handover of regency.

Ying Chengjiao, a history major student, had only a written understanding of these things in his previous life. He knew the results but not the reasons.

I have been influenced by this since I was young, and have made up for the shortcomings of not having practiced it. I understand this principle very well, so I advised my brother to use his power to rebel and use the killing of the Bai family as an excuse to establish my authority.

His brother's reluctance was beyond his expectations, and the reason he gave was even more beyond his expectations.

What is the pattern?

This is the layout!

I will never use only 30% of my strength. There are too many things I want to do, so I won't delegate them to others. I can't wait any longer, so I'll make you my reserve to prevent future troubles.

These words made Ying Chengjiao, a modern man, feel excited. They were really inspiring!

This is the vision and spirit of an emperor who will be remembered throughout the ages. No one else can imitate him.

How hot your blood was then, how cold it is now.

How excited I was at the beginning, how speechless I am now.

"You are so disdainful to establish your authority. What are you pretending for?" Ying Chengjiao was really furious.

The young man pointed at King Qin Zheng's nose and stabbed him:
"I told you not to be so radical, you said you couldn't wait, you said you had 100% of your strength but didn't want to use 30%.

"Ha! I was really frightened.

"Where's your strength? Tell me where the remaining 70% of your strength went? Speak! Don't be so nervous!"

King Zheng of Qin didn't know what "Ma Zha" meant, but he could guess the general meaning from the angry tone of the boy.

The king, who had held power for less than a month, was so angry that he slammed the table:

"Didn't you give the advice? Didn't you come up with the strategy? Didn't you propose the centralization of power?
"You can't solve the difficulties, so what are you proposing? Which wise minister's advice will allow the king to find a strategy to implement it himself?

"I am the king. I only make decisions. I don't care how they are executed. Whoever proposes it gets to execute it!"

This makes sense from the king's perspective, but it makes no sense from Ying Chengjiao's perspective.

In order to defeat Gongsun Long, Ying Chengjiao studied the art of debate for a period of time. Ying Chengjiao, who was called a debater by other philosophers, was extremely good at debate.

He could always argue that something was unreasonable, not to mention that he was now convinced that he was extremely reasonable. The boy's eyes were filled with anger:

"Who are you photographing? Huh? Who are you photographing?

“When Nai Gong proposed it, he gave a strategy!
"You don't follow the strategy, and you act as if you're going to die tomorrow. Now you want a strategy from Guan Naigong? You got nothing!
“When it rains you remember to use an umbrella, when a child dies you provide milk, when the sheep run away you mend the pen.

"Don't you know to ask questions about things you are not sure about? Does the thing under your nose only know how to eat and drink?

“You can tolerate being radical.

"If you are so patient, don't look for me! How nice it would be if you asked me in your dreams like a father after you pass away?"

When King Zheng of Qin heard this, his face turned red and he felt dizzy from anger. He had to hold on to the edge of the table to keep himself steady.

He had never been insulted like this before.

He was never scolded like this when Lu Buwei was in power, nor when he was a student, and even during the most difficult period when he was held hostage in Zhao State, he was never scolded like this.

Wang Wan, Li Si and Meng Tian took a deep breath when they heard this, and the entire huge council hall was almost deprived of oxygen.

They were very angry about the current situation, and even more angry about the damn trust between the two gentlemen - why couldn't you two just communicate with each other?

But no matter how angry I am, isn’t this insult too harsh?
The purpose of giving a strong word to the king is to make him listen to the advice, and the purpose of scolding the king is to wake him up. Chang'an Jun was just venting his emotions, without any advice at all!
The three people who saw the king being humiliated wished they had not come here today.

Wang Wan and Meng Tian were horrified. They felt that this time the king would severely punish Chang'an Jun, and they were also a little shocked.

They had appreciated Chang'an Jun's eloquence and thought that the rumor that "Pingyuan Jun was scolded to death by Prince Chengjiao" might be true.

This curse is too dirty!

Li Si is fine.

Li Tonggu, the son of Wu Zi, was extremely knowledgeable and familiar with the scholars of Jixia Academy. He knew very well how difficult it was to excel in debate in Jixia Academy, and he knew very well that the study of morphology and nomenclature was the most debateable subject.

Li Tonggu, who was well versed in the philosophy of mice, was more sensitive to the king's attitude. He guessed that the king would be furious for the sake of his dignity as a king after being insulted in front of the three of them.

King Zheng of Qin was very angry, angry that he could not scold his evil brother!
The bastard's tongue seemed to be borrowed. For every sentence the King of Qin said, there were ten more to follow. If the bastard hadn't deliberately asked questions and waited for answers, the King of Qin wouldn't have been able to get a word in.

Knowing deep down that he had messed up, Ying Zheng was so scolded that he didn't want to admit his mistake at all.

He was wrong in this matter, but he couldn't be so harsh in scolding him! How dare this bastard curse him to death!

He didn't know how much the young man had planned for this, how many people had contributed to this plan, and how much those who had contributed had contributed.

Lü Buwei died for this. Zou Yan and Zou Zi pledged their lives to pass the title of chief priest to Ying Chengjiao. Lu Zhonglian and Lu Zhonglianzi sacrificed their reputation and dignity just to see the world described by Ying Chengjiao one day.

There are also Kong Bin, Kong Chuan, Deng Lingxue, Xiang Lifu, Dun Ruo... all the philosophers and celebrities are working hard for this goal.

King Zheng of Qin's radicalism might cause all the efforts of everyone to go to waste.

Attacking an unprepared enemy is completely different from attacking an enemy who is ready for battle. Otherwise, Bai Qi would not have remained silent until now, and Lu Buwei would not have built a school under the cover of the major event of 517,000 gold.

Ying Chengjiao kept cursing for more than a minute before he stopped, and his lips were dry from cursing.

King Zheng of Qin's lips were dry and his breath was dry.

Wang Wan, Li Si and Meng Tian all had their lips dry, they were frightened.

The furious Chang'an Jun is so scary!

What's even more frightening is that the king, who was scolded so badly and couldn't even return the favor, did not punish Chang'an Jun!
Aren’t you just talking?

Your Majesty truly regards Lord Chang'an as a ruler on an equal footing with himself!
Then after this...hiss, I dare not think about it, I can’t think about it.

"You brat! Have you cursed enough?" King Zheng of Qin's face was so gloomy that water could drip from it.

"Even if I scold you eight hundred times, it won't be enough! You are the brat! An ignorant brat!" Ying Chengjiao said "Pooh".

Since the boy traveled through time, he often looked down on others because of his subconscious foresight. Qin Shi Huangdi was the first person he looked up to because of his foresight.

Taking a deep breath, calming down the emotions that were still surging and wanting to express the fragrance of flowers and birdsong, the young man took over the responsibility and began to call the roll:
"Tonggu, what good plan do you have?"

Li Si was already feeling annoyed by the King of Qin's permissive attitude towards Chang'an Jun. Hearing this, his body trembled. He bowed his head to Chang'an Jun as if he was facing King of Qin.
"I would like to go to Lanling and ask the master to come forward."

Li Tonggu had no other choice but to ask for help. Even a good cook cannot cook without rice.

All officials are controlled by the nobles of the old Qin Dynasty, and the king has far too few people to use. This is a dead knot that even Duke Zhou cannot untie.

The young man hummed, his expression did not ease, and looked at Meng Tian:
"Where is Meng Tian?" Meng Tian: ((|||))
Isn't this difficult for people?

Although his current official position is Nei Shi, a civil servant, he does have some knowledge of literary affairs.

But what he learned the most from childhood to university was the art of war, and what he read the most were military books. Born into a family of generals, he was the one who accompanied the king in practicing martial arts, and it was Wang Wan who accompanied the king in studying!

He only knew that he shouldn't kill everyone in this matter. As for good strategies, Meng Tian was not righteous.

Monnesi was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still couldn't say anything. His lips were trembling, and finally he had to bite the bullet and say, "I really don't know."

"Ha." The young man sneered, "You know the Pinyang Tiger Talisman, but don't know how to govern the country? Wang Wan, it's your turn. You should speak."

Meng Tian did not hear Ying Chengjiao calling Wang Wan.

The four words "Pinyang Tiger Talisman" pierced the most fearful place in his heart.

Before leaving, veteran Wang He presented a forged Pinyang Tiger Talisman in front of him.

He knew, but he didn't report it.

Wang He has a close relationship with his great-grandfather. He has watched him grow up and teased him countless times. In Wang He's heart, his status is not much different from that of his great-grandfather.

For such an elder, the last thing he did before returning home was to mourn his great-father. For the safety of his Meng family, he gave the forged Pinyang Tiger Talisman that could kill three tribes. How could Meng Tian betray it?
For some things, not reporting them is a capital crime.

There is a special term in Qin law - crimes such as harboring.

His only remaining arm was trembling, Meng Tian was sweating profusely, and his face was as pale as a deathly person.

Wang Wan did not notice what Meng Tian was doing next to him. As the last one to be called, he was racking his brains to think of how to answer.

It was understandable for Meng Tian, ​​a rough martial artist, to say he didn't know, but as a civil servant he felt it was unacceptable for him to be unable to say anything.

"Wan thinks." Wang Wan, who had started to prepare when Li Si was called, said in a deep voice, "The reason why there are so many twists and turns is that there are treacherous officials who slandered the king and caused him to be dismissed frequently. The treacherous officials should be executed."

Having said this, Wang Wan quickly raised his head, looked at Ying Chengjiao sincerely, and said carefully:

"My Lord, Wan is not talking about you, Wan..."

Wang Wan was afraid that Chang'an Jun would misunderstand him. The king had just said that it was Chang'an Jun who gave advice, but now he said that it was a sycophant who made slanderous remarks and should be executed. Isn't this clearly saying that Chang'an Jun was a sycophant who should be executed?
This is the superficial meaning of the sentence, but Wang Wan did not actually mean this.

But he couldn't explain the whole thing, because if he did, the king would lose face.

Wang Wan, who didn't want to offend either king, looked embarrassed, and his complexion was only slightly better than Meng Tian who was standing next to him.

"No problem, I understand what you mean." Ying Chengjiao waved his hand. He really understood.

This is the white glove he had talked about with his brother before, also known as taking the blame, taking the blame, scapegoat, and temporary worker.

When something goes wrong, they push one unlucky guy out and put all the blame on him.

In the five thousand years of Chinese history, some things have not changed much from ancient times to the present.

"Li Si, Wang Wan, you two come with me to Fengtian Palace, and we will discuss the aftermath. Meng Tian will accompany our king to reflect carefully." Ying Chengjiao was the first to walk out of the palace gate.

Li Si and Wang Wan didn't know whether to follow or not. They looked back and forth between King Zheng of Qin and Chang'an Jun, lingering more on King Zheng of Qin.

"Go, go, go!" Qin Wang Zheng waved his hand in frustration, "Go with that bastard!"

The two of them hurriedly responded with "Yes" and chased after Chang'an Jun.

When they left, Wang Wan and Li Si had already noticed that something was wrong with Meng Tian. They would not have been so frightened if he could not answer the questions.

The four words "Pinyang Tiger Talisman" flashed behind the two of them, and finally they left without saying anything.

They just pretended not to know and not to see it, just like they didn't hear Chang'an Jun scolding King Zheng of Qin today.

Only King Zheng of Qin and Meng Tian were left in the hall.

Without seeing that certain boy, King Zheng of Qin's mood gradually calmed down and his complexion gradually returned to normal.

The radical king sighed, walked over to Meng Tian, ​​slapped him hard on the back, and scolded him with a smile:
"That bastard asked me to reflect, not you, so what are you afraid of?
"A fake tiger talisman makes you lose your courage?

"I know what you think, and I don't blame you.

"Just remember to tell me next time something like this happens. Am I unreasonable?"

Meng Tian was struck by lightning, and fell to his knees with a thud, tears welling up in his eyes:

"I...are guilty!"

He hit the ground with his head, knocking it heavily:
"Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

"What crime have you committed?" Qin Wang Zheng's eyes fell on Meng Tian's empty sleeves. "Forging the tiger talisman will result in the execution of the entire clan. Do I want to execute your entire clan, Meng Tian?"

Meng Tian, ​​lying on the ground, clenched his teeth and said nothing.

"Stand up." Qin Wangzheng pulled Meng Tian up with force. "I originally wanted to pretend that I didn't know about this matter and let it go, but I didn't expect that brat to bring it up."

With a wry smile:
“I also know what he is thinking.

"He was exposed as the bad guy, and I will be the good guy to win your heart, Meng Tian.

"This guy is always calculating.

"But I don't want to, I think it's meaningless.

"What is our relationship? We are playmates who grew up together. You never showed mercy when you fought me before.

"If I don't trust you, Meng Tian, ​​and still want to use tricks, then my life will be too tiring."

Qin Wang Zheng wiped away some dust from Meng Tian's head and continued:
"I know your difficulties.

"If you are really impatient and want to be promoted to a prince, and seek credit and reward, I still look down on you.

"Let's just forget about this matter. No one will mention it again in the future. Just don't let it happen again."

Meng Tian's eyes were shaking and his mood was agitated, but he couldn't speak.

At this moment, he was willing to die for the king in front of him.

"Let's go and see what the three of them have come up with." Qin Wangzheng's face darkened again: "I am the king! I don't need to reflect on anything! I'm rebelling against him!"

King Zheng of Qin stormed out of the palace, followed closely by Meng Tian.

The protagonist of the Fengtian Hall that day was not Qin Wangzheng, but Changan Jun. Changan Jun treated all four people equally, and none of them escaped the scolding.

After scolding, it’s time to wipe the butt.

The next day.

Li Si went east to Lanling to get people to come.

Chang'an Jun forcibly raised Baili Sheng from the hands of Prime Ministers Xiong Wen and Xiong Qi. The prestige he failed to establish last time was established this time!
