Chapter 1498 Tangled candidates
"Last time His Majesty said he wanted to revive Wang Li to lead his troops to fight, I thought it was an excellent opportunity. I didn't expect that they would come up with such a bitter plan. Wang Li stayed in the capital with a stern face. His plan was very clear. He must be thinking of the imperial guard position in a certain capital. My father-in-law should pay more attention!"
"I naturally know, but some things are not predictable. The status of the imperial guards is too sensitive. In fact, it is difficult for us foreign ministers to intervene, and random intervention will even make His Majesty suspicious!"
"The father-in-law vowed to stop Wang Li last time?" Chen Xu had a strange feeling of being deceived.
"I don't say that, how could you volunteer to deal with Lu Xiao!" Meng Yi smiled dryly.
Chen Xu:...
"But don't think that the Meng family has not exercised its strength. His Majesty is determined to regain Wang Li as the commander of the expedition to the absolute sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial s
Chen Xu was speechless, but he didn't want to tell the story of the First Emperor's sudden death during this tour. After all, this matter was very strange, and Chen Xu did not completely believe in Meng Yi's character. This guy's loyalty to the First Emperor was hard to guarantee that he would not make any mistakes after he knew that, resulting in all plans being wasted.
Chen Xu's purpose was to prosper the Qin Dynasty. He saved the First Emperor by the way. If he could, he would save him. If he could, he would be fine. Life and death are life and death, wealth is in heaven. After dying once, he already had a very strange understanding of death.
Maybe if the First Emperor died here, he would travel to another world and lively deliver food.
Therefore, Chen Xu and Meng Yi currently have common interests, but absolutely no common goal, so it is best to control some things yourself.
"Your Majesty's parade is a foregone conclusion. Once you leave the capital, all the changes may happen on the road. If Your Majesty encounters an unexpected accident but does not make a crown prince, and Zhao Hai and Hu Hai may plan to usurp the throne. This is the biggest crisis we have to face. Therefore, the capital must be in control so that it can be invincible at that time. I sent a secret letter to Marquis Jingwu last time. I wonder if Marquis Jingwu had ever talked to his father-in-law!" Chen Xu asked another question.
"Brother has said that he promised to make arrangements in secret according to your proposal, but those things will be useful at that time?" Meng Yi nodded with confusion.
"Just prepare for the future. Those who have more temples will win. Before the last moment, we, Zhao Hai and others, are more prepared. As for whether they are used, I can only take one step and take one step!" Chen Xu shook his head.
"Hmph, aren't you doing it completely? If you don't use it then, you have to pay for it. Do you know how much money it cost to me just do this thing..." Meng Yi was shaking his beard and eyebrows as he spoke. It seemed that he had indeed spent a lot of money and felt a little distressed.
"You father-in-law knows how much money I spent to deal with this matter..." Chen Xu slowly opened his hand without raising his eyelids.
"Five hundred thousand?" Meng Yi put down the teacup.
Chen Xu rolled his eyes.
"Five million?" Meng Yi's face shook slightly.
"At least 50 million!" Chen Xu spoke slowly, then picked up the teacup to moisten his throat.
"So the little money spent by my father-in-law is not worth mentioning. I have said a long time ago that if our Majesty cannot be fully prepared in advance this great disaster, once Hu Hai ascended the throne successfully, the Qin Dynasty will inevitably be violently turbulent. The Book of Heaven has warned me and I have to do my best, but I also hope that my father-in-law will not have any luck. Although Zhao Gao is dead now and Li Si has passed away, Hu Hai is still Hu Hai. As the youngest son of His Majesty, he cannot convince the public, and after ascending the throne, he will inevitably start killing and eliminate dissidents in order to stabilize his power. You, Mengshi, is the first goal, and I have finally assisted Your Majesty to make the Qin Dynasty prosperous and prosperous, and will also disappear due to the turmoil..."
"Once the emperor and the ministers, all the merchants and gentry who are currently dependent on you and me or many important ministers will be liquidated. The first Chinese money house I control will be forcibly occupied and deprived by Hu Hai and Zhao Hai. The public will run a lot of deposits due to panic. The Chinese money house will go bankrupt. The smooth road plan of investing one billion will inevitably be abandoned halfway. Those ordinary people who invest all their wealth or purchase national debts will instantly turn into waste paper..."
Speaking of this, Chen Xu looked at Meng Yi.
"Can your father-in-law imagine the entire Qin Dynasty at that time? A prosperous era suddenly turned into the wailing of all people, thieves arose, and all industries withered. Liang and other countries in the Liao Dynasty would inevitably be dissatisfied with Hu Hai. They would raise troops to rectify the court and lose the support of the court. Then the Baiyue Western Regions would fall into chaos again. China, which had just been peaceful and peaceful for ten years, would inevitably attract war disasters and blood, and all people would fall into dire straits. Even if your father-in-law had a plan to protect it, all the glory and wealth at present would turn into smoke and dust. Your Jiangxi porcelain was jealous of the kings and princes, and it would definitely not be able to save it..."
"Bang~" Meng Yi punched the tea table with a heavy punch and said with a pale face: "Whoever dares to steal my husband's property, I will let his family be destroyed!"
"My father-in-law said it right. All the power and wealth are earned by you and I at the moment. How can others be affected? Since ancient times, the success of kings and defeats of enemies, and the person who laughs the last one is the real winner. Therefore, we cannot give in at all unless..." Chen Xu stopped talking.
"Unless what?" Meng Yi asked.
"Unless you are willing to defect to Hu Hai..." Chen Xu said word by word.
"What do you mean?" Meng Yi looked straight at Chen Xu.
"Hehe, I just gave my father-in-law a private idea. Power and wealth always matched my status. If it cannot be matched, then people will be dissatisfied. My father-in-law is now at the top of the court, and his family is rich. These are the fears and jealousy of Hu Hai and others. If his father-in-law surrenders to Hu Hai and supports him to usurp the throne, he will definitely enjoy wealth and honor in the future, and even go further. He will be awarded the title of Duke, and truly be able to be the best minister to protect his descendants of the generations..."
"Fuck, the Montessus has been loyal to the emperor for generations, how can he be a traitor..."
Meng Yi glared at Chen Xu, and his anger slowly calmed down. He grabbed his beard and thought for a moment, then glared at him and said, "No, you must be disliked by me and want to drive me from the position of the Censor!"
Chen Xu quickly shook his head like a rattle: "How can my father-in-law bury his son-in-law like this? I'm just testing my father-in-law's loyalty to His Majesty!"
"Hmph, if it weren't for the father-in-law and son-in-law, I'm just hitting your dog's head!" Meng Yi snorted coldly, and his expression slowly relaxed. He picked up the teacup and took a sip and said, "What did you mean by what you said just now?"
"It really doesn't mean anything else?" Chen Xu shook his head.
"Hmph, I am not a three-year-old child. Don't hide it. There are only you and me here. What can I say?" Meng Yi hummed again.
"You promise not to tell me?" Chen Xu looked at Meng Yi closely.
"I swear to the heavens that any words today, even if they are rebellious, will be rotten in my stomach and will never reveal a word!" Meng Yi nodded seriously.
"Since your father-in-law has such a guarantee, then I will ask you a question. If Your Majesty really cannot escape the catastrophe this time, and we have completely destroyed Hu Hai's intention to forge the edict, then which young master we recommend to ascend the throne to satisfy the civil and military officials of the court and the people of the world. Of course, it is impossible for everyone to be satisfied, but at least most people must ensure that most people can agree with it. Otherwise, the Qin Dynasty will still fall into turmoil, and even the princes such as Liangning in the Liao Dynasty will be dissatisfied, resulting in the inability to calm the surrounding areas of the Qin Dynasty. This peaceful life that has finally been created will still be messy..."
"This..." Meng Yi grabbed his beard and began to stare blankly, with a tangled expression on his face.
If this question was put before, many people would definitely recommend Fusu.
After all, Fusu's status is there, Yu Li and Yu Fa are the best successors of the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty. However, with the increasing implementation of Chen Xu's reforms, the understanding of the Qin society has also changed rapidly in recent years. With the deliberate promotion of newspapers and Chen Xu, the rule of etiquette and law based on Xunzi's concept has now been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Whether it is the official, noble, official, or the literati, most of them have accepted and recognized this concept, and have a relatively unified and clear understanding of the strategy of governing the country.
Driven by this trend, whether it is newspapers, forums, or even folk people, they always speak etiquette and law. In order to promote the concept of their own sects, the disciples of the Hundred Schools have begun to integrate them, looking for perspectives from other theories to confirm the correctness and authority of their sects, so as to promote the dissemination and development of their respective sect cultures.
Even Confucianism, which is regarded as the first school of extrinsic studies, has become more pragmatic in recent years, and has begun to weaken the cumbersome traditions of rituals and music, weaken the values of superiors and inferiors and the five ethical values, and has moved the ethical relationships of the ruler, ministers, fathers and sons, and married the law, combined the law with the education of benevolence and virtue, and promoted a new Confucian theory. In other words, the Xunzi school is the most active at present, and the Meng school is becoming increasingly decadent.
But Fusu's teacher was a genuine disciple of Mencius, who highly praised the five constants of human ethics and etiquette of the noble and inferior etiquette. Meng Yi and many important officials of the court may vaguely know that some of the reasons why the First Emperor was reluctant to make Fusu the crown prince was because Fusu was too convinced by Confucianism. Although he was known as virtuous, he was more rejected by the law. This was not in line with the tradition of governing the country by magic in the Qin Dynasty and was very likely to cause disputes among the officials of the court. If the court was uneasy, the people would be turbulent, which would inevitably cause another round of competition between the French and Confucians. The disciples of the hundred schools of thought would inevitably be involved in the quarrels. Then the tranquility of the Qin Dynasty would still fall into chaos.
What's more, the disciples of the Fajia family will inevitably be dissatisfied with the recommendation of Fusu.
