Fusu still didn't seem to be able to fully understand, but Zhao Kuo was unwilling to say anything more.

Before Fusu left, Zhao Kang, who had finished his work, walked in. Compared to Fusu, Zhao Kang was even more afraid. Since he was a child, he had been beaten by his father. Zhao Kuo has not beaten him these days. It can be seen that Zhao Kuo was using Wu Chenghou to inspect the place, rather than visiting his son as a father. In front of the officials, he also gave enough face to the unqualified prefect, at least he did not beat him.

But Zhao Kang knew in his heart that this beating was inevitable.

Sure enough, as soon as he walked in, Zhao Kuo stood up angrily and cursed: "You sir! Is this how you manage the place?!" As he said that, he picked up the crutches and attacked him. Zhao Kang felt that he could actually avoid it, but Zhao Kang did not choose to hide because this was his father. Zhao Kuo seemed ruthless in his attacks. In fact, he would never hurt his children, but just let them gain a memory and threaten them more.

Zhao Kang felt his father's weakness. His father was no longer as strong as before. However, Zhao Kang still cooperated with the scream and hid behind Fusu in panic. As usual, Zhao Kuo gritted his teeth and asked him to come. Zhao Kang stood carefully in front of Zhao Kuo and prepared to "hide". Zhao Kuo said: "You are the prefect here, you must treat your subordinates fairly, and you must make clear rewards and punishments!"

"When you were very young, I told you not to do bad things because they were small, and not to do good things because they were small." "Now I also want to tell you not to punish bad things because they were small, and not to reward good things because they were small." Zhao Kuo said seriously: "This is the principle needed to govern the local area and the country. If you indulge in sin, even if it is conducive to stability, it will lead to the imitation of everyone. In this way, bigger problems will arise!"

Zhao Kang said helplessly: "There are serious shortages of officials. If they are dealt with according to Fusu's method, the officials will have some problems and will all be dealt with. How do you want me to manage the place?"

"This is not the reason why you indulge them. Do not blame the public? The law does not blame the public itself is a wrong statement... No matter who violates the law, no matter how serious or how many people are, the violation is wrong. As for what you said, no official can use it... The school department is solving this problem, and the shortage of officials will soon pass. Even if there is a serious shortage of officials, we cannot indulge these things, otherwise, this will definitely cause more terrible consequences than being unable to manage."

Zhao Kang nodded and said, "Father, I understand. In the future, I will never indulge anyone. I must be strict in rewards and punishments."

"Oh, I know you want to restore this place as soon as possible. This was once a place that was destroyed in the war. At least, you let the people here accept Qin. However, Kang, officials represent the country. If officials take the lead in violating the law, the world will be destroyed..." Zhao Kuo sighed, and he looked at Fusu on the side and said, "Fusu has no way to stay here. I want to take him back. It's better to let him do something with Li Si."

Fusu wanted to say something, but in the end, he just reluctantly agreed to Zhao Kuo.

"Father, how is Xiu? Is he okay? I haven't seen him for a long time... Sometimes, when I see the children playing on the road... I will think of him." Zhao Kang, heartless, asked about his son's condition seriously. At this moment, Zhao Kuo saw the tears in his eyes. At that moment, Zhao Kuo felt mixed feelings. His worst son seemed to have grown up in an instant and became a real man.

Zhao Kuo was a little surprised. He looked at his son, looked for a long time, nodded, and said, "He is very good. He is now enlightening me. He is different from you. He is still a person who likes to study." He heard this sentence, Zhao Kang was a little happy. He rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "That's good, that's good, reading... My son might be able to be the prime minister!" Zhao Kang, who hates reading the most on weekdays, was so happy when he heard that his son likes reading.

Zhao Kang did not hate reading, he hated his poor reading... Zhao Kang, Fusu and Zhao Kuo started to talk about some things at home again. After chatting for a long time, Zhao Kang took Fusu away and did not disturb Zhao Kuo again. As soon as he walked out of the mansion, Zhao Kang said to Fusu: "This time I go back with your eldest father, and you don't have to tell you all the things here, or your father, just say it briefly, don't cause trouble for me anymore!"

Fusu helplessly agreed to this unreliable Zhongfu.

The next day, Zhao Kuo had just gotten up, and there was a young official waiting for him outside the door. The young official begged Zhao Kang for a whole day yesterday before he got a chance to be with Zhao Kuo and wait for his orders. When Zhao Kuo walked out of the inner room, the young official hurriedly leaned over and bowed, but it scared Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, looked at the energetic young man, and then smiled and praised: "I am so energetic!"

The young man looked at his idol excitedly and said, "I will come and listen to your orders by the prefect!"

"Oh? Wait for the order? What can I do?"

"The prefect said you might want to go to various county towns and let me accompany you."

"When did he become so considerate?" Zhao Kuo glanced at the young man, continued to walk towards the front yard, and asked, "It was probably you who asked?" When the young man heard this, his face turned slightly red, and he couldn't help but grin and said, "Yes, I exchanged my year-long holiday!" The young man found that Zhao Kuo was not so serious on weekdays, so he was also a bold joke.

Zhao Kuo didn't care about this at all. Instead, he admired the young official in front of him. He invited the other party to sit down and have dinner with him. The young man finally said his name, Cao Shen. Hearing this name, Zhao Kuo was stunned. Why did all these Han Dynasty's anti-cave ministers emerge? Of course, he knew Cao Shen, and at first he knew that it was because he was a child and always heard Cao Cao's statement that Cao Shen was the prime minister of Han.

He also knew the allusion of Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, and knew that this was also a well-known minister. However, Zhao Kuo didn't understand why this Han Dynasty prime minister served as a county magistrate. Judging from his figure and tone, he looked like a powerful general, not like a prime minister. However, generals like Lian Po and Li Mu could serve as prime minister. In this era, the division of civil and military affairs was unclear, so Zhao Kuo was still acceptable.

Zhao Kuo immediately asked about some things on his battlefield. Cao Shen was not polite and talked about his battle with Zhao Kang. It turned out that when Wang Jian attacked the surroundings of Pei, he voluntarily asked to join Wang Jian's army. He shouted every day to join the army. When Wang Jian's general Yang Duanhe learned about this, he asked him to serve as a soldier under his tent. Later, he was promoted because of his bravery in combat. Later, Yang Duanhe turned to Quyang and followed Zhao Kang's order. Zhao Kang discovered him and reused him.

The two of them had similar smells... No, both of them were very brave, so they became good friends. Cao Shen, who took the last military merit car, successfully changed from a commoner to a doctor in the Qin Dynasty, and finally followed Zhao Kang to serve as an official. In the following days, he fought with Zhao Kang several times with Yue people, and his military achievements were great, and no one in the army dared to underestimate him. Speaking of joining the army, Cao Shen said confidently:

"That soft boy in Qi will definitely not resist like Chu. If I don't rush to join the army, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to make military achievements in the future. Anyway, Chu can't stop Qin, so why not use this war to make myself stand out!" Zhao Kuo narrowed his eyes. This is also a good talent. If I go through some teaching, I will definitely be Fusu's left and right hand in the future.

Zhao Kuo asked Fusu to call him and let Fusu sit aside and eat together. Cao Shen was a carefree person. Even if he was having a meal with Marquis Wu Cheng and the prince, he was not much restrained. The only restraint came from idols, and this restraint was because of respect rather than because of his title. Well, is this "Zhao Kang" who hates studying very much, a good general, and has certain political abilities.

Fusu's attitude towards the county lieutenant was not bad, and he was quite polite. Zhao Kuo looked at Fusu and said seriously: "If you want to govern the world, the most important thing is to be able to recognize people. What kind of person do you think this county lieutenant Cao is?" Hearing Zhao Kuo's question, Fusu couldn't help but look at Cao Shen in front of him. He said: "Cao County lieutenant is an outstanding general, brave in combat and good at using troops... However, he is arrogant and has poor governance laws. He can be a general, but not a minister."

When Cao Shen heard Fusu's comments, he was not angry. He just smiled and said casually: "It is enough to be a general. Who would be a prime minister?"

Zhao Kuo smiled but said without saying a word. He looked at Fusu and said, "You see, people's abilities have improved slightly, but they are still not enough."

"What do you think, Dafather?"

Zhao Kuo shook his head and didn't speak. Cao Shen was easy-going or nervous, so Fusu said that he could not be a prime minister. In fact, not all prime ministers must be as solemn and old-fashioned as Li Si and Han Fei. Fusu still has some prejudice to people, and has to look at people comprehensively. People like Cao Shen are exactly what the king can use with peace of mind. They don't have too many scheming and have no other ideas. After the war, they go home to drink and enjoy their own life.

You don’t need to stay away from the temple in the name of self-cultivation, you don’t need to insult your reputation by corruption, and you don’t need to be executed by the king, because such people often don’t have too much ambitions, nor do you think about usurping the throne or something. In the words of later generations, Cao Shen’s current personality is just a funny person, a little bit fierce. Who has ever seen a funny person who can even succeed in rebelling?

In history, when Cao Shen was the prime minister of the country, he drank all day long, and the officials immediately followed suit.

The back garden of the prime minister's house was close to the officials' houses. The officials' houses were drinking and singing all day long, and Cao Shen could hear their voices in the backyard. Other officials hated this matter, so they invited Cao Shen to visit the back garden. They heard the sounds of the officials drunk and singing, shouting and shouting. The officials hoped that the prime minister would summon them to stop them and rectify this behavior. Cao Shen asked people to take the wine and furnish the table to drink, and also sang and shouted, corresponding to the officials.

Who would be afraid of such a prime minister? Besides, he did not deliberately do this to avoid being afraid. He has been like this since he started to rise up. He is a little childish, but he knows his shortcomings, can see the strengths of others, and is willing to admit that he is not as good as these people. This alone is something that many famous names cannot do.

Emperor Hui in history was ambitious and wanted to make a career, but Cao Shen drank all day long. Emperor Hui asked his son to test him. Cao Shen met Emperor Hui directly and asked him, "Who do you think you are stronger than Emperor Taizu Gao?" Emperor Hui of course did not dare to compete with him. Cao Shen asked again, "Who do you think I am stronger than Xiao He?" Emperor Hui told him directly, Xiao He is better than you. Cao Shen told him, since we are not as good as them, wouldn't it be better to develop steadily according to their system? What are you thinking about?

Those who can advise the emperor in this way are either wasteful people who eat and drink and wait for death, or wise men with great wisdom.

Zhao Kuo looked at Cao Shen, then looked at Fusu beside him, and said, "Do you still remember the story I told you? People who want to do big things may not understand, but they must find a way to ask clearly. If you close your eyes and pretend not to see it when you encounter something that doesn't understand, that's not what a gentleman should do!" After he finished speaking, he left here with a crutch. Before leaving, he also signaled Cao Shen's direction.

Fusu thoughtfully, he looked at Cao Shen and asked, "There is one thing, I wonder if you can solve my doubts?"

Cao Shen said seriously: "Please tell me."

Fusu told Cao Shen about Zhao Kuo's killing of Chang'an Jun. He asked, "I don't understand the idea of ​​my father, please tell me." Although Fusu said this, he didn't think Cao Shen could tell him anything. Fusu was upright and did not think of looking down on others or being jealous. He just had the arrogance of a young man, and he himself did not see through it. Cao Shen was not much older than himself, so how could he see through it?

Cao Shen laughed as he heard Fusu talk about Zhao Kuo killing Chang'an Jun, and said, "How come the prince doesn't understand the truth?"

"Please give me some advice."

"Wucheng Hou advocated the rule of law, and the rule of law is just a means, the purpose is to protect the people. At that time, if Wucheng Hou abides by the rule of law, he would not be able to protect the people. He would harm the purpose for means. This is absolutely impossible. Therefore, Wucheng Hou killed Chang'an Jun to abandon the previous means to achieve his goal. Now your behavior is for the Qin world, your behavior is a means, and letting the people of the world benefit the people is the goal. Wucheng Hou is persuading you. In order to achieve your goal, the previous means are not something that cannot be given up!"

Fusu suddenly realized and asked again: "But the great father once said that unjust means cannot achieve the result of justice."

"Yes, but there are many ways of justice. Is it unjust to kill Chang'an Jun with Marquis Wu Cheng? To eliminate thieves for the country and the people, I wish I could have been twenty years old and could drive a car for Marquis Wu Cheng to kill the evil thieves who killed the people!"
