Chapter 137 Chapter 136 Liu Ji and Lu Pheasant never met again
He was the chief official in Peixian County and saw many problems with the Qin Dynasty, not only the problems of Qin's laws, but also the fact that the Qin Dynasty swallowed up the six countries too quickly, resulting in The problem of insufficient officials.
As a smart person, when he sees the problem, he will naturally think about the solution, and the solution he came up with is to make certain modifications to the existing "three elders".
Xiao He immediately stated his method to Ying Zheng. Others in the palace were contemplating the feasibility of Xiao He's method, but they heard Liu Jidao: "Your Majesty, this method is feasible, but it has flaws."
< br>To be appreciated by the King of Qin as an official, he naturally had to show some of his insights and talents.
Ying Zheng said: "What are the flaws?"
With Ying Zheng's permission, Liu Jidao said: "The policy of recommending the three elders to assist the county magistrate and educate the people is indeed feasible, but it will also make the three elders gain power in the county and township. "
"Before the Three Elders, although these people have high morals and high prestige, they are no different from other villagers. They can be elected as the Three Elders after they gain power. Can they still be of high moral character and respect? "
"Even if the three elders can assist the county magistrate, educate the people, and do their best to share the worries of the king, over time, will they be able to do so? Change? "
"If they take advantage of their power for their own benefit or their own family, wouldn't it be a disaster for the country and the Qin Dynasty? "
"The three elders are elected for a while, and then the three elders may be elected by the villagers later? If the members of a family are always the three elders, the family and the clan will grow rapidly and become a powerful and prominent family. Not only will it be useless in governing the place, but It's even more harmful."
Liu Ji looked at Xiao He's "Three Elders" method from a height and saw the problems at a glance.
This method can indeed alleviate the problem of insufficient officials in the Qin Dynasty, but it will make the three elders bigger and form local cancers in the future.
Liu Ji then said: "If this strategy is implemented, it will be carried out in the places of the original six kingdoms. Who do you think the three veteran generals recommended by the king are in these places?"
This sentence That was what Liu Jizhen wanted to say, and his words hit many people in the palace: Yes, if this revised version of the three elders policy is implemented in the land of the Six Kingdoms, who will be selected as the three elders?
The answer is obvious. You can even think of it with your toes. It will probably be the nobles of the Six Kingdoms or someone related to the nobles of the Six Kingdoms!
Let these people become the three elders and then become bigger and stronger in the local area. Do you think they will not rebel against Qin when they become strong?
Liu Ji did not know that after he conquered the world, he adopted this three-elder policy and awarded it to the world, which had a profound impact on both the Han Dynasty and China.
Although even if he doesn't promulgate it, this thing will pop up sooner or later.
Because there was no other way, backward communication and inconvenient transportation in ancient times made it difficult for the imperial power to directly govern the grassroots. They could only let the three elders or local gentry and country gentry cooperate in governance.
After listening to Liu Jizhi's words, Xiao He apologized to Ying Zheng and said: "I never thought that there would be such a flaw. I am not thoughtful enough. Please punish me!"
Ying Zheng shook his head and said: "It's not my fault, you have this problem. It’s so huge that even a few people can’t solve it.”
Only one person may be able to solve this problem for him, and that’s Li Nian.
But thinking about the gap between the later generations of Da Qin and Li Nian, Ying Zheng felt that Li Nian might not be able to solve it.
Although Li Nian comes from later generations and possesses the knowledge of later generations, he can propose solutions from a further historical perspective, but the conditions for those solutions may not be available in Da Qin.
No matter how good the method, no matter how good the technology, no matter how good the ideas are, they will eventually be subject to the times!
It is quite good that Xiao He was able to figure out how to solve the problem of lack of officials in Qin Dynasty by modifying the Three Elders.
Ying Zheng looked at him and said: "You have the talent to help the country, don't hide your clumsiness in the future!"
Xiao He knew that King Qin was telling him: From now on, you will do your best to serve me. I can forget about the problem.
But why did King Qin rate him lower than Liu Ji?
When the King of Qin evaluated Liu Ji, he said that "governing the country can bring peace to the country, and in troubled times, the country can be stabilized." He only said, "You have the talent to help the country." Although this evaluation is not low, "helping the country" and "defining the country" are still There is a gap.
It is equivalent to Liu Ji being able to found a country and become a king in troubled times. He can only assist Liu Ji to become a prime minister. But how is this possible?
Although he felt that Liu Ji was extraordinary and thought that he would become a blockbuster sooner or later, he did not think that Liu Ji was far superior to him and had the talent to found a country and become a king.
With confusion in his heart, Xiao He assured Ying Zheng: "He will do his best to serve the great king of Qin!"
Ying Zheng said: "The same goes for you, I will not be granted official positions for the time being, and I will observe the politics in the court first!"
Xiao He is the future prime minister of Qin selected by Ying Zheng.
According to the history provided by Li Nian, it can still be used for at least several decades. Where can such high-quality cattle and horses be found?
Wang Wan is old, and he does not want Li Si to become prime minister, so there are not many people to choose from.
Xiao He was the first contributor to the founding of the Han Dynasty and the first prime minister of the Han Dynasty. There is no doubt about his talent and he can definitely govern the Qin Dynasty for him.
Of course, he would not directly let Xiao He enter the court as prime minister, but would first let him manage local areas, not only to let him accumulate qualifications, but also to use Xiao He to manage some places for him.
Xiao He thanked him and sat down. Others who came from Peixian County thought that Ying Zheng would treat them like Liu Ji and Xiao He, but they did not expect that Ying Zheng would only briefly chat with them.
Although they were also ordered by Ying Zheng to observe politics in Xianyang, and they have a bright future in the future, everyone else in Peixian County can see the difference: Liu Ji and Xiao He are somewhat special to the King of Qin, especially Liu Ji.
The summons was over, and Liu Ji, Xiao He and others left.
In Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng was listening to Jiao Li's recital, and reported to Ying Zheng some of the things Liu Ji, Xiao He and others had done and said on the way to Xianyang.
When he heard that when he entered Xianyang, Liu Jizeng saw a woman in a carriage and asked Jiao Li about the woman's origin. Ying Zheng couldn't help but asked curiously: "Do you know which family the woman belongs to?"
Jiao Li carefully replied: "Back to the king, it's Lu Pheasant from Shanfu County, Dang County!"
If possible, Jiao Li doesn't want to answer this question.
Because he also believed that Lu Pheasant was very likely to enter the palace. If Liu Ji fell in love with Lu Pheasant, wouldn't it mean that he almost stole a woman from the king?
He had a good impression of Liu Ji and did not want him to die because of it!
Hearing Jiao Li's answer, Ying Zheng said: "You mean Lu Pheasant and Liu Ji met? Liu Ji also fell in love with Lu Pheasant and wanted to marry him?"
Jiao Li said: "That's true, but Liu Jizai has to After knowing that Lu Pheasant was invited by the king, he never thought about it again. "
Ying Zheng glanced at Jiao Li, this Liu Ji is really incredible. After a while, even the envoys he sent started to come. Speak for it.
However, it was a coincidence that Liu Ji and Lu Pheasant met when they entered Xianyang. But this time, Liu Ji would not be able to marry Lu Pheasant again, unless he died and the Qin Dynasty fell!
He invited Lu Pheasant and his family to Xianyang. In addition to being curious about Lu Pheasant, the first queen in history, he also had other plans:
He is not planning to bring Lu Pheasant into the harem, but wants Lu Pheasant to be his daughter-in-law. He is still considering which son Lu Pheasant will marry.
In Xianyang, in a certain room, Lu Yu, who lived in the same room as Lu Zhi, asked in a low voice: "Sister, why hasn't that person taken you into the palace yet?"
Lu Pheasant did not answer her sister's question, but fell into thinking. She originally thought that the King of Qin invited her family to Xianyang because of her.
After entering Xianyang, although there were people to receive them, there was no news about entering the palace, which made her doubt that her original guess might be wrong: Could it be that the King of Qin didn't want her to enter the palace as a concubine, but they themselves Thinking too much?
Thinking that he had fantasized about entering the palace to serve the King of Qin, Lu Pheasant couldn't help but feel ashamed and annoyed. It was really embarrassing, but he felt a little disappointed that he might not be able to enter the palace to serve the King of Qin.
