Not only was Chunyu Yue very excited, but ministers from Confucianism, or many ministers whose interests were closely related to Confucianism, also reacted fiercely as if they were stabbed by Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu, and successively refuted Wang Ben's proposal.

"The Marquis of Tongwu, the general is angry and daring. Although the general has always respected Tongwu Hou very much, the proposal of Tongwu Hou is really too rash! Su Lingxuan has no title or position, and has no military merit. At the age of fifteen, he served as the governor of Xue County, and has mastered all the government affairs of a county and has tens of thousands of troops. It is unheard of."

The proposal of the King Ben of Tongwu Hou was not only unacceptable to the civil officials, but also the generals who were both military strategists could not understand it. A general couldn't help but stand up and oppose it.

"Tongwu Hou, this is a big mistake! I know that the two generations of Tongwu Hou and the Su family are better. The old general and the late Wu'an Gong were close friends. As an elder, Tongwu Hou was understandable in his mood to recruit the younger generations. However, the position of county magistrate is crucial. It can be said that the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people was decided by the thought. Isn't it too much to let a child who is fifteen years old, who has never seen any world, and has no experience in handling government affairs hold such an important position? Your Majesty, I will never agree with this discussion."

In the political hall, Fan Ju, the right prime minister who has been attacked by Confucianism recently and has less than interfered in the political affairs of the court, couldn't help but walk out.

The death of the former doctor Zhao Liankai was troubled by his plan to seize Confucian secrets. In the end, he had to use the eunuch Zhao Gao, who had always looked down upon everyone, to save his life. In the eyes of all forces, the miscellaneous families led by Fan's family were all face-lost and suffered heavy losses. Although there was no direct evidence on the contrary, Zhao Liankai's death was done by Su Lingxuan, except for him, Fan Ju really couldn't imagine that other forces had reasons to attack him at this critical moment, so the debt would still fall on Su Lingxuan.

Therefore, at this time, Wang Ben proposed that Su Lingxuan be the governor of Xue County, which was absolutely unacceptable for Fan Ju and the people from the Za Family.

"Although Su Lingxuan made contributions to arresting the Mo family giant this time, he was young and ignorant of the world. If he was allowed to serve as the governor of Xue County, wouldn't he be successful at a young age and not get any training? This would be bad for his future growth, and he might be Zhao Kuo again!" Another official in the court also objected.

"Yes, this is inappropriate for Tongwuhou. I think it's better to let him start from the bottom, first go to a county magistrate or county magistrate in a county with less than 10,000 people, and then make specific decisions based on his ability to handle government affairs."

"As the saying goes, 'I'm a hero, a hero'. Wu'an Gong is a hero who is a hero and an invincible god of war on the battlefield. As his only son, Su Lingxuan must have inherited his talent and talent in this area. So compared to civilians who handle government affairs, I think military positions or lieutenant positions are more suitable for him. How about appointing him as a county lieutenant?"

One minister after another directly or indirectly denied Wang Ben's proposal, Confucianism, Legalism, miscellaneous schools, military strategists, and almost half of the civil and military ministers in the court stood up to oppose it. However, there were many people who supported Wang Ben's proposal, all of whom were confidants of the Wang family in the army or generals who were dependent on him.

While the court was noisy, the left prime minister Li Si and Meng Yi, one of the leaders of another backbone force in the military, chose to remain silent and watch the development of the situation.

As the most trusted right-hand man of the First Emperor, the left prime minister Li Si was in charge of the Legalists, the Meng brothers and the Wang clan held military power. They together constituted the most solid cornerstone of the First Emperor's rule in the world. For a long time, in addition to some internal conflicts between the Legalists and military strategists, the three families advanced and retreated in the court and helped each other. However, they did not receive any notice from Wang Ben's proposal in advance, and they were unable to make a clear idea of ​​what was going on.

Is this a casual mention of Wang Ben’s sudden whim? Or is the old man of the Wang family unwilling to be lonely and has other thoughts?

Or, what secret letter did the First Emperor give him Wang Ben alone?

At this time, the only people who were still calm in the court were afraid that the only ones, Emperor Shi and Wang Ben. In fact, they had long expected the fierce opposition from Confucian ministers and even other ministers.

Abandoning the grudges and grudges of Confucianism and military strategists, a small number of ministers strongly opposed Su Lingxuan's intention to be the governor of Xue County. It is really considered from the perspective of the interests of doing big things. Even if there are some private intentions, it is understandable. The reason why more ministers oppose it is because Xue County's geographical location is too important.

In the thirty-six counties divided by Emperor Shi and others, Xue County was part of the territory of Lu at that time, and its territory was a narrow and long land from Teng County to north to Tan County (now Zaozhuang, Yutai to Shandong/Tancheng near the sea).

Anyone with some military knowledge and common sense knows that the strategic location of this land is very important, especially for Confucianism, which is even more crucial.

Xue County arrives in Lu/County in the north, and holds the throat of most of the Qilu land. It is not only the hometown of Confucius, but also the main area for the activities of Confucian disciples today, but also the strength range that Confucians have been operating for a long time. The southern part of Xue County is located at the junction of Shandong and Suzhou, and is the gate of southeastern Shandong and the thoroughfare of Qilu. It is an important transportation route for the exchanges between Qilu and Jianghuai region, and it is the "throat" of southern Shandong.

Controlling Xue County means controlling more than half of the lifeline of the Confucianism in Qi and Lu!

The Confucian Chongshan Academy has just attacked Su Lingxuan, and the grudges are deeply rooted. If Su Lingxuan controls it at this time, the Confucian scholars in the Confucian holy land and Qilu land will be out of safety, and they will not be able to easily obtain the support of the six major academies from the outside world and sit in the city of distress. Therefore, Confucianism or ministers who have interests in Confucianism will never let Su Lingxuan control it.

On the other hand, Xue County and Sishui County are connected, and the three boundaries on the southeast, east and northwest sides are all in the southeast, east and northwest. The deep mountains and forests in the eastern part of Sishui County are the location of the Mohist City. It can be said that the military force of Xue County can easily block more than half of the channels for the contact between the government city and the outside world, and cut off the secret channels for Confucians in the Qilu land to secretly support the Mohist school. This situation is not what Confucian disciples want to see.

Seeing that the ministers in the court expressed their opinions on his proposal, Wang Ben said calmly: "I recommend Su Lingxuan because he was young and could catch the Mo family giant who made me unable to arrest him repeatedly, causing unprecedented damage to the Mo family. In addition, he also had the military achievements of his 300 guards to break the military achievements of nearly a thousand elite disciples of the Mo family. Although he was young, he had the talent of inheriting his father and mother, so he must be very different. As for his lack of experience in handling government affairs, he could regard Xue County as a test for him. If he could not even solve this problem, it means that he was incapable of ability and lacked ability. After inheriting the title of Duke Wu'an, he would just let him return to Xianyang City to be a Duke of Qing."

"Absurd, absurd, absurd! You are crazy to let a fifteen-year-old boy be the governor of Xue County! I will never agree anyway." Chunyu Yue was so angry that his hair and beard moved, pointing at Wang Ben and said in a frustration.

"It doesn't matter whether you agree or not, the key is to rely on Your Majesty's decision." Wang Ben glanced at him contemptuously, just as Confucianism looked down on military strategists who only knew how to march and fight, and military strategists looked down on those cowardly literati who only knew how to shake their pens.

When Wang Ben heard that the topic was transferred to the First Emperor, the court suddenly became quiet and no one spoke again. Everything depends on the First Emperor's decision.

"I am sure to pass the request of Wuhou and grant Wu'an Duke Su Lingxuan the only son of Wu'an County as the governor of Xue County. On the day the order is reached, you can rush to Xue County to take office."

Majestic and noble, like a god in the Nine Heavens, sounded in the hall. At that moment, everyone, including Wang Wan, was stunned and their minds were blank.

This is the beginning of the battle against Confucianism!?

Before everyone could react, Emperor Shin-Emperor continued, "I heard that the beloved son of Tongwuhou is quite famous in the Bingsheng Terrace. He is very familiar with military books at a young age and is also good at military chess. Let's do this. Since a Su Lingxuan has been appointed as the county magistrate, I will simply appoint another Wang Li as the county magistrate and work together in Xue County."

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of your son!" Wang Ben, the Duke of Tongwu, looked excited. Although he tried his best to suppress it, he couldn't help but smile a bigger and bigger smile on his lips.

A county lieutenant can control tens of thousands of troops without war. Even the smallest county lieutenant can be called "general" in the army.

From a student from the Sword Saint Platform to a county magistrate, even if Wang Yu had his father, Tongwu Hou and the grandfather of the Duke, he would have reached the top in one step. This promotion speed that was not enough to describe when riding a rocket, the father of the person involved could not be overjoyed.

"Ling Xuan, Li'er, I have tried my best to help you. The next thing is up to you."

Wang Ben lowered his head and said in his heart that he thought of the figure that he was only worthy of looking up next to him.
