Prime Minister, don't pick up on integrity

From the beginning of the year to April, in just a few months, several major events have quietly happened in the small South Korea.

First, the old king of Han died for some reason, and Han Fei, the son of Han who tried his best to turn the tide, succeeded to the throne. Then the whole city of Xinzheng was blocked, and the forbidden army almost came out. The most shocking thing in South Korea is that Zhang Ping, the prime minister of the three generations of Han, was re-elected as a doctor of the imperial history, and took the post of supervisor.

The new prime minister is actually an unknown person who was only in charge of burning incense in the ancestral temple.

Under the seemingly peaceful river, there are often dangerous undercurrents hidden.

Those officials who are much more sensitive than ordinary people have already smelled abnormal signals.

As the saying goes: Flowers do not have a hundred days of success, and people do not have a thousand days to be happy.

Originally, in this court, the change of power, the new for the old, is also a common thing, but this incident is so unusual.

Zhang Ping was born in a big Korean family. Starting from his grandfather, he has been Prime Minister of Han for three generations. Zhang Ping himself has not made any serious mistakes since he became the prime minister. Zhang Ping was King Han's goal, so why did he promote Zhang Ping's title and increase his salary?

Moreover, what was even more strange was that Zhang Ping did not show any dissatisfaction when he was robbed of the position of prime minister by an unknown person, or Zhang Ping just kept his dissatisfaction in his heart.

According to relevant sources, Zhang Ping, the former prime minister who came out of the palace gate at noon, looked normal except for his hasty pace. When he heard the news, some people gloated, some sighed and sympathized, and many more people were thinking about how to get out of the palace. Without offending Zhang Ping, go to please the new prime minister.

But what they never expected was that not long after Zhang Ping left the palace gate, a carriage also set off from the carriage and horse farm outside the palace gate and rushed all the way to Zhang Ping's mansion.

Sitting in the carriage was the new prime minister who was previously unknown.

===

"Brother Li, you took a risky move."

Sitting in front of the case, Zhang Ping, the former prime minister and the current imperial historian, raised his wine and said to the person in front of him.

When Li Si asked him to borrow a pass, Zhang Ping was taken aback. His first reaction was: Is Li Si going to leave Han and enter Qin?

But then he thought about it again, this is impossible, even if Li Si wants to leave, why should he wait until the city gate is closed at night before leaving, wouldn't it be more convenient to go out of the city directly to Hangu Pass during the day?

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ping suddenly guessed the reason why Li Si did this, and he simply prepared for Li Si the fast horse and the pass needed to enter and exit the Xinzheng and Han-Qin borders.

Li Si got what he needed, thanked him in a hurry, and left quickly. Zhang Ping was in a daze as he watched the fast horse rushing away in the dark night.

After a while, he turned around and said to Hou's servant behind him, "Prepare the horse, I want to go to the palace to meet the king."

After seeing Han Fei in the palace, Zhang Ping just said, "Li Si rushed to Hangu Pass overnight", and Han Fei suddenly got up, and while he was about to walk out of the palace, he shouted loudly: "Where is Han Li?" Where are the Hanli people! Get your horse ready!"

Han Fei looked so flustered that he completely lost his previous demeanor, but all of this happened to be within Zhang Ping's expectations.

Zhang Ping got up and walked slowly to the door.

"Where is your majesty going?"

Han Fei glanced at Zhang Ping in surprise. In his opinion, what Zhang Ping asked just now was just nonsense.

"Go and get Li Si back!" Han Fei replied concisely, his eyes were staring anxiously at the outside of the hall, wondering where the hell Han Li had gone, at this moment, Zhang Ping's calm voice came Into Han Fei's ears.

"It's been an hour since Li Si set off. If he really wants to leave Han and enter Qin, no horse can catch up with him."

"What do you mean?"

Han Fei turned his head to look at Zhang Ping, his tone was a bit unfriendly, and there was faint anger in his eyes, but Zhang Ping just replied calmly: "I just want to ask you a question, if you chase Li Si back How do you plan to use him? If you still leave him idle, it is better to let him enter Qin."

Han Fei was silent. After being told by Zhang Ping, he had calmed down and understood the meaning of Zhang Ping's words.

My junior brother is an inexhaustible talent, but because of a moment of unhappiness, I made him an idler. It is no wonder that Li Si left Han overnight and entered Qin Dynasty. If Li Si can be brought back this time, he must not be allowed to It's done as usual.

After thinking for a while, Han Fei tentatively asked:

"How about Tingwei?"

When saying this, Han Fei has been staring at Zhang Ping nervously, waiting for Zhang Ping's answer.

Li Si didn't forget the agreement he made with Han Fei, and Han Fei didn't forget either. What's more, Han Fei and Li Si studied together for three years, and knew exactly where the most suitable position for Li Si was, but there was already someone in that seat, and that person , which happened to be Zhang Ping in front of Han Fei.

As if he had already guessed what Han Fei was thinking, Zhang Ping met Han Fei's eyes calmly and smiled slightly. There was actually a bit of sadness in that smile.

Zhang Ping bowed respectfully and said calmly:

"I think that Li Si has the talent to lead the government, and only the position of prime minister who is in charge of hundreds of officials can keep him.

"Prime Minister...you..."

"Zhang Ping felt that he had little talent and learning, and voluntarily gave up the virtuous, and hoped that the king would allow it."

Next, Xinzheng was sealed off, the imperial army was dispatched, and Zhang Ping was reassigned as a royal doctor. Although the real power was reduced, the title and salary were greatly increased.

Zhang Ping is a smart man. The reason why he would take the initiative to give up the position of prime minister is naturally because Li Si's leadership talent is indeed superior to his, but more importantly, he has already seen that the relationship between Li Si and Han Fei The discord is only temporary. When Han Fei's seat is firmly established, Han Fei will definitely start reforming. Han Fei and Li Si are on the same page.

Besides, there is another reason...

Looking at the young man in front of him, Zhang Ping rubbed the jade wine glass with his fingertips, the beautiful touch was like the delicate skin of a beauty.

From ancient times to the present, none of the reformers have a good end. If the reform failed, Shen Buhui was defeated and committed suicide, and Wu Qi pierced his heart with ten thousand arrows. The end of a five-horse dismemberment.

Zhang Ping admired and admired Li Si's talent and courage, but at the same time, he knew very well that he would never have such courage.

Li Si, who was kneeling and sitting opposite Zhang Ping, naturally didn't know what Zhang Ping was thinking, and he could only smile wryly when facing Zhang Ping's words.

Only God knows that he went out of the city overnight to Hangu Pass just to send someone off, not for the prime minister's seat.

Seeing that Li Si didn't answer, and Zhang Ping didn't continue the topic, he raised his glass to drink with Li Si, and then asked, "Korea has been poor and weak for many years, what good plan does Brother Li have?"

Li Si frowned slightly.

Back then, he didn't want to go to South Korea with Han Fei because the situation in South Korea was too complicated and bad. Even if he wanted to save him, he just couldn't do it.

Although the situation in South Korea is much better now than in the past, under his intervention, South Korea's 12 troops did not go to die, and they are still guarding the border. Several important towns in South Korea have not been annexed by Qin, and even The important thing is that Han Fei has become King Han.

But even so, it is not so easy for South Korea to survive in the cracks of several powerful countries and become stronger.

In history, South Korea has also been strong. During the period of Han Zhaohou, Shen Buhai, who was the same generation as Shang Yang, proposed to strengthen the army by means of tactics. It took 16 years to reform and train the new army, trying to destroy Zhou first and then Qin. The Kingdom of Wei finally ruled the world.

So ambitious, but in the end he couldn't resist the [-] cavalry of Pang Juan, the famous general of Wei State.

In two months, Xinzheng became a city of blood. The recruits were almost wiped out, and the reinforcements were delayed. Xinzheng was at stake.Shen Buhai was deeply ashamed of Zhaohou and the people, and committed suicide.

Afterwards, Qi Guo besieged Wei to rescue Han, and Ma Lingdao Sun Bin killed Pang Juan.

A vigorous reform was annihilated in the flames of war.

The failure of Shen Buhai's reform may be due to problems in the governance itself on the one hand, and the more reason is that Shen Buhai's luck is really bad.

After Zhaohou, no one in South Korea mentioned the reform again, that is, because the failure was too tragic, and the South Korean court almost turned pale when they heard about the reform.

Even Zhang Ping, who had always been on Li Si's side, had doubts about the reform.

Although Li Si also had no idea in his heart, he still replied seriously: "When Shen Buhai reformed, he first ruled with surgery and then strengthened the army. Unfortunately, the army of Wei State attacked before Zhaohou and Shen Buhai died. , The reform ended in failure. In my opinion, the rule of law is not the right way in the world, and it should first enrich the country and then strengthen the army."

Zhang Ping asked again:

"South Korea is the weakest of all countries, how easy is it to become a rich country?"

Li Si smiled and said:

"Depending on one thing is enough to make a country rich."

"What?"

Li Si leaned slightly, and whispered two words in Zhang Ping's ear, and then, those beautiful peach blossom eyes suddenly widened.
