I was a gentleman in ancient times

Everyone's doubts were finally relieved when they heard the latest news from Lou Guo.

Yu State took the lead in attacking the city and conquering the territory. Seeing this situation, how could the other vassal states be willing to fall behind?The piece of meat is only that big, and one step behind may result in one less bite.Therefore, everyone became nervous and scrambled to send troops to attack Lou.

Xun Wei, the king of Bei State, regretted it long ago. If he had listened to Prince Qi's words and prepared troops and horses on the border earlier, they would have taken half of Lou State's cities by now.It's a pity that when they realized that something was wrong, it was too late to gather troops and rush to the border of Lou State.

Although they also won several cities, they were far from what they expected.

Prince Qi never came back after he went there last time. He finished his work, left a letter for someone to hand to King Bei, and set off to marry the newcomer.I will never go back to Bei again.

"Hmph! Bei country is Prince Qi's home country after all. Wang Ziqi left as soon as he said, did he really not care about his mother country? He should gather troops to attack the city first. It's really a good opportunity to let the prince live." Qi missed it." Zeng Yi blurted out and complained.

He seemed to have long forgotten how he opposed it, how he persuaded the king not to listen to Prince Qi's advice.Now, everything is pushed to Wang Ziqi.

The veteran Gan Shen on the other side couldn't stand it any longer, and said bluntly, "Master Zeng's words are biased, right? Prince Qi reminded him to prepare earlier. The result? Isn't it because of your efforts, Mr. Zeng?" Are you against it? Now you don’t want to repent, but use excuses to shirk? You have no responsibility at all. Is this what a gentleman did?”

Old Zeng Yi blushed, she still refused to admit her mistake, and said stubbornly: "Who would have thought of what happened today? At the beginning, this old man also thought carefully. If this is really a trap, what should we do if Bei is damaged? Wang Ziqi As a member of the royal family, I am deeply gracious, but I don’t know how to put the overall situation first. On the contrary, I ruined the country’s major affairs because of my personal affairs, and I am telling the truth, how can I be wrong?”

"Prince Qi's road has been paved, who will do what he said?" Gan Shen sneered, "Master Zeng, you are cautious and afraid of taking responsibility. But even if Wang Ziqi really sent troops to attack the city according to your wishes, Are you really not going to accuse him of making decisions without authorization? Tsk tsk tsk! Who would dare to bear such a serious crime? Instead of this, it is better to settle the major issues of your own life. The old man thinks that Wang Ziqi did nothing wrong."

Gan Shen opposed Zeng Yi everywhere, making him vomit blood in anger.Pointing at Gan Shen tremblingly, speechless.

It was the monarch Xun Yu who couldn't stand it anymore, "Okay, Prince Qi is not to blame, but we all underestimated Wei Su and didn't believe that he could really mess up Lou State like this. That's why we miscalculated. There is no need for this matter." Again, let’s discuss the follow-up questions now.”

Now that the King of Bei had spoken, all the ministers naturally followed, Zeng Yi could only shut up resentfully even if she was not offended.

Xun Qi was not affected at all at this time, and headed towards West Qin with his guards.There is someone he misses there, who can put aside everything and live together with her, and thinking about Xun Qi makes him very excited.

At this time, the capital of the state of Qin, King Zhan of Qin announced his decision to worship Wei Su as his prime minister.The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty was no longer surprised at this time, and the position of the Qin State had already been waiting for him.It will be a matter of time before Wei Su becomes prime minister. Now that it is settled, it can be regarded as the dust has settled, right?

No one objected to this, if they still felt that Wei Su was young and unworthy of Germany.Now they have nothing to say, and Lou Guo's lessons learned are still vivid in his memory.It was this gentle, refined, kind and gentle young man in front of him who, with just a few gestures, destroyed a great power.But who knows the truth, who is not afraid of him?

Wei Su accepted King Qin's acceptance of his fate with a smile, and after thanking Qin Zhan, he didn't hear any objection.He is still a little strange, this is too smooth, right?Don't you ministers have anything to say?Not even a single question.He is not from Qin either, but just an outsider. Are they really willing to give up the position of Prime Minister of Qin?

Before he finished thinking, all the ministers congratulated in unison, "Congratulations to the king for meeting a good minister and virtuous minister, and congratulations to Mr. Wei for being a king and practicing Taoism for the well-being of the people of Qin."

Wei Su said a few words of modesty and politeness, and for a while he was very happy.Qin Zhan was very happy, and took this opportunity to announce his intention to lead the army to the frontier himself.

The courtiers were opposed and supported when they heard the words, but of course it was impossible to stop what Qin Zhan had already decided.Qin Zhan directly arranged, "Prince Xu still acts as the agent of state affairs, and the minister of state assists state affairs. In addition, the king's decree was passed down, but all Qin people, during the slack season, based on the mile, all young and strong will organize military training, line up, and kill them all." It will be implemented according to the standards of the army. The chiefs of the villages and pavilions in various places will supervise this matter, and if there are violators, they will not be tolerated."

The ministers looked at each other, this?Is there something wrong with the king's decree?

Cheng Hui stood up and asked doubtfully, "Your Majesty, the people in the village mainly farm. They are all organized into the army, so what about the farming in the fields?"

"Naturally, farming cannot be neglected. That's why we train during the slack season and return to the fields when the farming is busy. What I need is a good man who can kill the enemy in battle and return to the field after taking off his armor."

This seems to be feasible. Since the farming season is not delayed, everyone has nothing to say.In fact, as long as Wang Ling is not too outrageous, they usually turn a blind eye.

At the beginning, Mrs. Zhuan Tai cleaned up the court, and suppressed and purged all the members of the royal family who opposed her to assist the government. The court dared not speak out.Later, the palace changed, Mrs. Zhuan Tai fell down, and Qin Zhan really held the power, and there was another wave of purges. Those members of the royal family thought they would turn over from now on.How did he know that Qin Zhan ignored them at all. In the past few years, leaving them aside and ignoring them, only one prince caught his eye and was promoted.

Those royal uncles yelled at Qin Zhan as a white-eyed wolf, but there was nothing he could do about it. He had no power, and what he said didn't work at all.Qin Zhan is not a fool. Back then, he used Mrs. Zhuan Tai to block the knife in front of him, and his purpose was to clean up this group of arrogant royal families.After finally suppressing it, how could he be trapped in a cocoon, let the royal family dominate again, and suppress himself for life at that time?

Besides, he promised that he would not let Wei Su be controlled by others, and give him a clear and bright court where he can do whatever he wants and let him flex his muscles.

Therefore, up to now, he basically has the final say on the court.

The ministers in the court also know that the king is young and promising, with ambition and ambition.He wants Qin to become strong, which is not something that can be done just by talking, but also requires the king's hard work and the help of wise ministers.

Seeing that everyone no longer had any objections, Qin Zhan glanced at Wei Su and said, "In order to make talented people available to me and attract people with lofty ideals from all over the world to come to Qin, Qin must make certain changes."

Regardless of other people's reactions, he said in one breath: "All decrees will be issued by the Minister of Defense after discussing with the ministers at that time."

His Majesty trusts Wei Su so much that he entrusts Wei Su with full authority over this matter?All the ministers looked at Wei Su in unison, and saw that he was calm, as if it was not an important matter.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wei Su bowed his hands to the ministers calmly, "I will trouble you all at that time."

Someone stood up, "Your Majesty is determined to change, which is a great thing for Qin. If the decree is beneficial to the country and the people, then needless to say, everyone will support it. However, if the decree is against the harmony of people, most people If they are against it, is it still necessary to issue a decree?"

Wei Su smiled and said: "No matter what kind of decision-making will have two sides, it is impossible to take care of everything completely. It depends on whether the overall interests are worth doing. As for the quality of government orders, the masses have discerning eyes. Let the people test the final result. What I mean is that no matter whether it is good or bad, you have to try it before you know it. Therefore, first set aside a place to implement the new decree, and after a year or so, it will be up to the people to decide whether it is good or bad. Keep the good ones, And if the government order is not good, the people of Qin will not suffer any losses. What do you think?"

Everyone discussed, and they all felt that there was nothing wrong with Wei Su's words.

"The Minister of Wei's words are indeed reasonable, and the minister seconded it." Cheng Hui was the first to agree.Then everyone nodded in agreement.

Wei Su smiled and said, "Your Majesty has one more request, I hope His Majesty will grant you permission."

If there is anything Qin Zhan can't agree to, as long as it is Wei Su's request, Qin Zhan will absolutely follow it. "It's okay, Wei Qing."

"This change is related to the foundation of Qin State, and whether Qin State can become a powerful country. Therefore, this is not a matter of the minister alone, but a matter of the ministers in the court and the people of the world."

Wei Su glanced at the ministers who didn't understand why, and said with a smile: "I think we should pool our wisdom, no matter who it is, ministers, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and all walks of life, they should all contribute their own strength and jointly contribute to the Great Qin."

There was a smile in Qin Zhan's eyes. He already knew what Wei Su was thinking, but now he wanted to act out a play together, "What does Wei Qing mean by that?"

Everyone didn't know that their king and Wei Su were digging a hole together, and they couldn't help but nodded when they heard the words.The king asked what they wanted to say, and each of them was waiting for the answer.

Wei Su laughed in his heart, this Qin Zhan really has a way of pretending.He followed Qin Zhan's words, "My Majesty, I believe that everyone has strengths in their own field, like a farmer, he knows the crops in four seasons, and a businessman knows the high and low of the goods. One person counts short, Everyone counts, so it is necessary to solicit opinions and suggestions extensively. Not only can the ministers have any good suggestions for reform, but the people of Qin can also put forward their own opinions and suggestions. If it is really useful, once adopted, you can get A reward from the imperial court."

"Wow~" Everyone was in an uproar, what did Wei Su call this?The world is divided into "scholars, farmers, businessmen", that is, there are different levels, and there is a natural gap between officials and civilians.A major national event such as reform is originally a matter for public officials, so what can the common people know?How is it possible to let them also participate in national affairs?

Immediately, someone stood up and objected, "It's unreasonable, how can the common people participate in such an important matter? The great affairs of the country are no small matter, how can it be a joke? What is the intention of the Minister of State for such a proposal?"

Wei Su didn't panic at all when he was questioned, "Why can't the common people participate? The common people are the people of the Qin State, and they pay taxes to support the army. The salaries of the ministers have the blood and sweat of the people of the Qin State. They are no worse than the people sitting here. You think you are superior to others. May I ask, without these selfless and dedicated people, would you still be able to sit here safely?"

Some people were ashamed, blowing their beards and staring in anger, "Heretics, a country, from the king to the people of Li, should perform their duties and perform their duties. Is there any reason to go overboard? The king governs the country, and the officials serve Wang Ling acted on his behalf, farmers planted land, merchants bought and sold, these are all matters of nature. If we really want to follow what Minister Wei said, wouldn't it be messed up?"

Seeing someone doubting and questioning Wei Su, Qin Zhan frowned and was about to stand up for Wei Su, but Wei Su shook his head, signaling Qin Zhan not to intervene. .
