Chapter 651: Friend and enemy? Cherish each other? It’s just for profit! Pick yourself an opponent!
Ying Chengqiao looked shocked: "Marquis Wenxin?"
Naturally, Ying Chengyu and Ying Zheng also considered the situation mentioned by Zhang Liang.
The two brothers are now clearly standing against the people, which may cause the people to rebel, or it may cause the two brothers to lose control of the people in order to control the people.
So the two brothers need someone to stand opposite them and fight with them in the ring.
This can not only give the people a channel to vent their anger, but also allow more people to choose to fight in the court rather than in the military to avoid large-scale unrest. It can also prevent the two brothers from acting excessively because they cannot accurately understand the people's tolerance.
As for the final candidate, the two brothers unanimously selected the Queen Mother Huayang!
This is a real person.
As for Lu Buwei?
This name is not within the scope of Ying Zheng's consideration at all!
Ying Chengyu also shook his head subconsciously and said: "What Marquis Wenxin wants is very different from what I and your Majesty want."
"Although I have saved Marquis Wenxin's life, I only want to borrow Marquis Wenxin's talent, not use Marquis Wenxin's ability."
"If Marquis Wenxin enters the situation, the situation between North Korea and China will become increasingly chaotic!"
Zhang Liang said warmly: "A gentleman is harmonious but different, but what he seeks is the Great Way."
"Liang believes that Marquis Wenxin's thoughts are indeed very different from those of your Majesty and Your Majesty."
"But Marquis Wenxin's thoughts are most similar to those of your Majesty and Your Majesty."
"Marquis Wenxin once said: The foundation of the ancestral temple lies in the people, and the governance of the people lies in having officials."
"The duties of each department that Marquis Wenxin admires are in perfect harmony with the government policy that the king seeks this time."
"Many of the measures taken by Marquis Wenxin when he was in power were for the purpose of 'loving and benefiting the people'. How is this similar to the king asking for too much?"
"Moreover, Marquis Wenxin is capable and famous. Once Marquis Wenxin returns to the court, there will be a large number of talents and even common people to assist Marquis Wenxin in governing the people!"
In Lu Buwei's view, "loving and benefiting the people" should become the core idea of the court's operation.
How can that be considered as ‘loving and benefiting the people’?
At least we should achieve the whole life, that is, the six desires.
The full six desires can be simply understood as satisfying the most basic material needs and spiritual needs of the people!
Lu Buwei regards all six desires as a means, while Ying Chengyu regards all six desires as an end. Although the two have different core demands, they are walking on the same path.
In order to rectify the six desires, Lu Buwei believed that it was necessary to establish "obedience to the people" as the standard of official duties, and proposed a series of management methods, which was completely consistent with Yingzheng's desire to deal with the chaos among officials in Guandong.
But Lu Buwei's methods were gentler than those of Ying Chengyu and Ying Zheng, and he also had a system of enfeoffment that could give the people sweet dates.
Once Lu Buwei enters the game, with Lu Buwei's thoughts, skills and abilities, he can easily compete with Ying Chengyu and Ying Zheng - at least that's what people in the world think.
Mrs. Han continued: "In fact, with the successive annihilations of countries, the situation between North Korea and China has become uncontrollable and increasingly chaotic."
"Recently, my sisters from the three kingdoms of Yan, Qi, and Zhao have been writing to me frequently, asking me to take care of their juniors who are coming to Great Qin."
"Many people also came to seek refuge with the concubines in the palace, and tried to use the power of the concubines in the palace to seize control of the Qin Dynasty."
"There has been an undercurrent surging in the front hall of Da Qin's harem for a long time, but the king is still able to control it. It's just that we are trying our best to turn it around, so it never appeared."
"The return of Marquis Wenxin to the court will cause greater disturbances, but the situation in the DPRK will not necessarily be more chaotic than it is now."
"And the disturbance caused by Marquis Wenxin's return to the court is not a bad thing for my son."
Now Ying Chengyu's faction has actually become the largest faction in the Great Qin Dynasty besides Ying Zheng.
With the entry of new forces from all sides, the struggle between Ying Chengyu and his family will be inevitable.
But as long as Lu Buwei returns, a large number of courtiers will gather around Lu Buwei and quickly form a powerful new faction.
Although the power of Lu Buwei's family is difficult to surpass that of Ying Chengyu's family, Lu Buwei wants something and Ying Chengyu wants nothing. The activity of Lu Buwei's family will greatly surpass that of Ying Chengyu's family and become the main participant in the imperial struggle. .
At that time, Ying Chengyu and his team can retreat to the second line and sit on the mountain to watch the fight between tigers and tigers.
Ying Chengyu frowned: "Not necessarily."
"Marquis Wenxin's thoughts are too firm and almost impossible to change."
"Your Majesty, my thoughts and those of Marquis Wenxin are indeed similar, but there are also many completely conflicting contradictions."
"If Marquis Wenxin returns to the court, he may be a constraint for us in the future."
"And Marquis Wenxin may not regard me as an enemy!"
Not to mention anything else, just the battle over the enfeoffment of counties is enough for Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng to fight.
The struggle between the rule of law and the rule of man, the struggle for monarchy and the power of the prime minister will definitely become the daily life of Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng.
Mrs. Han smiled warmly: "Marquis Wenxin is a minister after all."
"The firmer Marquis Wenxin's thoughts are, the firmer his definition of his minister will be."
"Although Marquis Wenxin will use some cunning tactics to achieve his goals, Marquis Wenxin's ultimate goal is to achieve the prosperous age he desires."
"The reason why the former king was unable to govern Marquis Wenxin was because the king had never personally governed. Marquis Wenxin received the royal order from the late king to take charge of the government. It is Marquis Wenxin's responsibility as a minister to take charge of the government."
"According to Marquis Wenxin's thoughts, the king at that time should not have interfered with the affairs of the state."
"And today, the king is already in charge, and Xiu'er is quite brave!"
Ying Chengyu suddenly became enlightened.
Lü Buwei's firm thinking is also Lü Buwei's softest line of defense.
Lü Buwei can fight with Ying Chengjiao to the death.
Lü Buwei can also suppress Ying Zheng before he took power.
But Lü Buwei cannot suppress Ying Zheng after he took power.
Lü Buwei's thinking does not allow him to change the difference between the monarch and the minister. He can only persuade Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng will make the final decision!
Otherwise, Lü Buwei will not be able to integrate knowledge and action, and his thinking will be self-contradictory.
The military power held by Ying Zheng and the family soldiers led by Ying Chengjiao can make Lü Buwei's body self-contradictory.
A great sage who can fight with Ying Zheng, respected by the world, but finally has to obey Ying Zheng, is indeed more suitable than the Queen Mother Huayang to be the opponent of the two brothers!
Ying Chengjiao smiled and nodded: "What mother said is reasonable."
"I never thought that I would fight to the death with Wen Xinhou in the past."
"In the end, I not only saved Wen Xinhou's life, but also helped him return to the court!"
"It's really... things are unpredictable!"
Lü Buwei gave Ying Chengjiao all his thoughts and learning, and handed over his retainers, manpower and even the hidden candidates to Ying Chengjiao.
In the eyes of outsiders, Ying Chengjiao can be said to have inherited Lü Buwei's legacy.
But Lü Buwei has repeatedly tried to kill Ying Chengjiao!
So Ying Chengjiao didn't know how to describe the complicated and entangled relationship between him and Lü Buwei for more than ten years.
Mrs. Han gave a summary: "It's only for your benefit."
All the intersections between Ying Chengjiao and Lü Buwei revolve around the same core: benefit!
The complicated relationship between Ying Chengjiao and Lu Buwei was also due to one reason: the temptation and compromise made for the sake of interests!
It’s just that what Ying Chengjiao and Lu Buwei sought was not the real money and silver, but the personal interests of realizing their personal ideals.
So, what is the complicated relationship?
It’s just about interests!
Ying Chengjiao chuckled: "Mother, what you said is very true."
"As Zhang Liang said, it is in the best interests of the king and me for Wen Xinhou to return to the court."
"In this case, let’s discuss how to let Wen Xinhou return to the court!"
Ying Chengjiao looked at Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang: ? ? ?
Your Majesty, why don’t you take a look at how old I am this year?
Such a complicated matter, you ask me?
Zhang Liang quickly cast a look for help behind the curtain.
Zhang Rang spoke slowly: "I think that if you want to make Wenxin Hou return to the court, the key lies in the king and Wenxin Hou himself."
"The key is that only Chang'an Jun can break it!"
"But Chang'an Jun can only break the key, and the rest needs to be accomplished by the people."
"So, the road for Wenxin Hou to return to the court must be long and difficult."
"But the road for Wenxin Hou to return to the court can partially realize the king and the king's plan."
"The length of time is not important."
Ying Chengjiao sat up straight and said seriously: "Please tell me in detail, Zhang Tianan!"
Facts have proved that Gui Ling and Ji Wei were right not to wait for Ying Chengjiao.
The four people in the study room did not realize the passage of time at all, but were seriously discussing the major events of the future of the world.
Until a low cry sounded, it woke up everyone in the study room.
"Madam, Master, it's already dawn (3:00), and it will be time to start harvesting in one hour."
Hearing the call from the eunuch Zhang Ming, Madam Han was slightly startled: "It's already dawn?!"
"Qiang'er, you..."
Madam Han subconsciously wanted Ying Chengqi to take advantage of the time to sleep for a while.
But she felt that with less than an hour left, even if he slept, he would probably not be able to sleep well.
Ying Chengqi smiled and stood up and said, "It's okay, it's just a sleepless night."
"I often feel this way when I go to war."
"Today, I'm sorry to bother you, Zhang Tianan, but I'd like to ask you to think carefully about what you and I just said."
"I still have to preside over the autumn harvest, so I'll take my leave first."
Zhang Rang said tiredly, "I'm old and really tired."
"When I think it through, I'll write it down and tell Liang'er."
"If you don't understand, just ask Liang'er."
Ying Chengqi smiled and shook his head, "That won't work."
"If there's anything, I'll do the hard work."
"I'm presiding over the autumn harvest today and I'm tired. I should let Zhang Liang accompany me and do the hard work for me."
Zhang Liang protested in a low voice, "Liang, I haven't become your disciple, let alone sent you a gift!"
Zhang Liang certainly knew how much benefit it would bring to him and the Zhang family if he became Ying Chengqi's disciple.
But Zhang Liang really didn't want to meet this big devil who likes to play tricks on children often!
Ying Chengjiao knocked on Zhang Liang's head: "Are all the lessons I taught you in vain?"
Zhang Liang couldn't help but look at the curtain for help.
Behind the curtain, Zhang Rang's grateful and slightly guilty cry came: "Thank you."
Ying Chengjiao smiled casually: "Zhang Liang, let's go!"
After breakfast, Ying Chengjiao took Zhang Liang and a group of family soldiers, retainers, and servants, and Mrs. Han took the three daughters of Gui Ling and the officials of Chang'an Palace.
A group of thousands of people walked towards the fields in the west of Chang'an Township, and saw that a larger team was waiting there!
