After flipping through a few bamboo slips in a row, Ying Zheng looked at Xiao He, who was standing beside him, and said,""Minister Xiao seems to have done quite a bit of research on Elder Huang's techniques.”
"This subject only occasionally hunts for novelty, not research. I heard that Your Majesty is a learned man, proficient in various academic fields, and is far less knowledgeable than Your Majesty.”
Xiao He was extremely humble, and did not hide his admiration for Ying Zheng in his words.
"I have indeed studied various schools of learning, but I have learned the form and not the method.”
"Many people will never be able to master one of the academic fields in their entire lives. I am just an ordinary person after all!”
Ying Zheng was very calm, and did not try to put on airs.
"Your Majesty is wise. It is the path of a Saint King to control all talents and serve the country. There is no need to do everything personally, good at the head of hundreds of schools.”
Xiao He thought for a moment, then said to Ying Zheng.
"Minister Xiao's words are indeed reasonable."
Ying Zheng could not deny it, as he naturally understood what Xiao He meant.
It was just like how supervisors did not need to know all the craftsmanship. They only needed to let the craftsmen work well and do their jobs. Soon, a magnificent palace could be built.
It was the same principle to govern a country. If the ruler had to understand everything in the world, what was the point of having all the civil and military officials in the court?
Let these ministers work hard and do their jobs well, and the world will be prosperous and healthy.
If the supervisors were incompetent, the craftsmen would cut corners and slack, and even if they managed to build a palace, it would not be able to withstand the slightest wind and rain and would soon collapse.
It was the same for countries. The courtiers were corrupt and formed cliques for personal gain. In the long run, no matter how strong the country was, it would eventually be eaten up by these maggots.
For so many years, his health had been deteriorating day by day. He had personally handled everything and worked hard to manage the government.
On the other hand, these ministers were all glowing. In the future, they could not just let themselves be tired to death while they were idle.
It was imperative to reorganize the Imperial Court. They only needed to hold the last pass and give the appropriate power.
I've exhausted myself to death, but they're all kneeling to welcome the new dynasty. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
I want to live well and exhaust them to death.
Yes!
After Ying Zheng thought it through, the way he looked at Xiao He changed.
Xiao He felt a chill run down his spine. Why was His Majesty's gaze so terrifying?
Did I say something wrong?
"The two of you, leave."
Ying Zheng turned his gaze to Liu Ji and Cao Can, who were standing behind Xiao He, and waved his hand.
Liu Ji and Cao Can looked at each other and smiled bitterly in their hearts. However, they could only bow and say,"Yes."
After saying that, the two of them left the study with some disappointment.
This was the First Emperor!
Perhaps this was the only time in his life that he could get so close to the First Emperor!
Ying Zheng watched Liu Ji and his wife leave, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Coincidentally, Xiao He caught a glimpse of it and his heart turned cold.
His Majesty's smile was too…
Cough cough!
What are you thinking about?
How can I profane Your Majesty's dignity?
"Xiao He, I won't hide it from you. This time, I came for two things.”
"First, Zhen knows that you will be leaving for Kuaiji tomorrow morning to take up your post, so I will fulfill it for you!
"Secondly, Great Qin needs talents like you, so We hope that you can recommend a few talents to serve the country and plead for the people.”
Ying Zheng went straight to the point and said to Xiao He.
"What virtue and ability does this subject have? I have no size to the country and have not offered a single strategy to Your Majesty. How dare I trouble Your Majesty? I only thank Your Majesty for your kindness…"
Xiao He was so touched that tears were streaming down his face. However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
"Alright, don't be jealous. I'm already here. Minister Xiao won't let me come for nothing, right?”
Ying Zheng looked at Xiao He with a smile.
Xiao He's voice suddenly stopped and he was stunned for a moment.
His Majesty's intentions were not in the wine. It was fake that he was fulfilling his wish, but it was true that he was here to poach people, right?
"Your Majesty, Cao Can, the prison official of Pei County, can put an end to the border on horseback and guard the peace on horseback. He is an all-rounded talent in both civil and military affairs. If it was just managing a prison, it would be a waste of talent.”
Xiao He recommended Cao Can to Ying Zheng without hesitation. He knew Cao Can's talent the best.
"Really?"
Ying Zheng didn't agree directly, but asked in return.
"This subject is willing to use my life as a guarantee. If Cao Can does not have the talent that this subject has mentioned, this subject is willing to offer his head to repay Your Majesty's kindness.”
Xiao He was resolute and resolute. For his good friend, he was willing to risk his life.
Although Xiao He had always been cautious, he was confident that he had not misjudged his good friend Cao Can.
In terms of knowledge, Cao Can was not weaker than him. In terms of strategy, Cao Can was far superior to him.
Perhaps Cao Can was not as famous as the old General Wang Jian, but he had the demeanor of a Great General.
To command an army, the most difficult thing was not the art of war, but the innate affinity of some people.
He was born with this kind of talent, and he could make people convinced.
Xiao He sensed this talent from Cao Can.
"Since Cao Can is the prison official of the Great Qin Dynasty, if he is really talented, the Imperial Court has made achievements every year.”
In fact, this was the main purpose of Ying Zheng's visit today. Since he wanted to reform and reorganize the imperial court, he naturally had to find out where the shortcomings of the imperial court's operation were, so that he could prescribe the right medicine.
Why couldn't officials like Xiao He and Cao Can, who were capable and within the system, be promoted?
Ying Zheng had thought about many things, but he still wanted to hear them with his own ears.
