Han Fei said: "Naturally not, dare to ask the king, under the current regime of the Qin State, if the courtiers of the Chu State or the courtiers of the clan are good, if there is a rebellion and a land is divided, the king does not consider the heartfelt situation, can you stop it?" So is this a hidden danger? ”

Ying Zheng suddenly realized.

He finally understood what Han Fei meant, and now, the reason why he felt that he could suppress the entire courtiers was because he was Yingzheng, but what about the descendants?

For example, the state of Chu is an aristocracy, and his advantage is that the king does not need to devote his efforts to manage the fiefdoms of the nobles, nor does he need to recruit soldiers and horses.

Even if the nobles of the feudal clan are loyal, if one day, just if, who can guarantee that these nobles with fiefs and soldiers will not rebel.

Han Fei saw that Yingzheng fell into deep thought, and immediately asked: "Great King, if you can be called princes today, there are only seven kingdoms left, and there are more than 100 countries that were named princes back then, so why, these princes have not only perished, but now they have overthrown the Zhou Dynasty that divided them, could it be that they were once disloyal to the Zhou Dynasty?" If they are disloyal, will the Zhou Dynasty give them the name of the land and the princes, can the Zhou Dynasty think that he will be overthrown by the princes he has feuded. ”

Ying Zheng heard this.

Suddenly a cold sweat broke out, and said: "The widow understands, do you mean that the current Qin State has reached the time when the world is about to be unified, and the widow has divided the meritorious ministers?" Maybe in a few hundred years? The widowed Qin State will be replaced by the widowed princes like the Zhou Dynasty. ”

Han Fei shook his head and said, "Is the king's words wrong? Not a few hundred years? In Han Fei's opinion, it will only take less than a hundred years? Or even shorter. ”

Ying Zheng and Su Zheng were both stunned.

Su Zheng was shocked? Han Fei almost saw through history.

And Ying Zheng was shocked? Less than a hundred years old?

Ying Zheng asked: "Please also ask Mr. for advice, why did the widows unify the country, but the national fortune is only less than a hundred years!" ”

Han Fei continued: "To the filial piety so far? Qin advocates the rule of law? This is not an exaggeration, but once, the princes of the world competed for each other, and the Qin State was the Rong people in the west, and they did not understand the law of etiquette? Naturally, strong laws are needed to support it, so-called? Qin's rule of the world lies in punishment rather than morality? That's it. ”

"But this sentence? Is it just suitable for the still weak Qin State? The Qin State today? If you still take the rule of the world, it lies in punishment rather than morality, it will inevitably make the people suffer, the subjects will suffer, and it will inevitably affect the rights of the king and the Qin State, that is to say, the current Qin State is about to get the whole world, and the world is Qin's. ”

"If you continue to focus on the law and ignore morality, it will leave an incomparably huge hidden danger, but the law is still not chaotic, what the king has to do is to establish a complete political system in the law, so as to ensure that the power of the world is still concentrated in the hands of the monarch, and the subjects of the world must also be gracious and powerful, so as to continue to consolidate the royal power, then what can be done, that is, the establishment of 'potential'."

Su Zai nodded, said slightly, and said, "You mean, the legal system can govern the troubled times, but you can't rule the prosperous times by the legal system alone, right?" ”

When Han Fei heard this, his heart trembled.

looked at Su Zheng and said again and again: "Wuhou said the true meaning in one sentence, Han Fei admired." ”

Ying Zheng also looked at the two of them in surprise.

Su Zai's sentence is a sentence summarized by countless scholars after the destruction of Qin, so Su Zai himself sees that he is from God's perspective, but Han Fei in front of him can rely on the current politics to see this truth, how difficult and difficult it is, and at the same time how wise it is.

Ying Zheng asked urgently: "The widow asked you, what should the Qin State do in the legal system?" ”

Han Fei continued: "If the new system wants to implement the law, it will establish a 'potential', and the establishment of a 'potential' is to establish a country where power is concentrated in the hands of the king. The three are mixed with the 'magic power', you can form a complete legal system, and insist on equal supervision regulations to form a unified power in the 'potential', and the government decrees are concentrated in the central place, as long as this central place is established, then the grand cause of Qin to govern the country and pacify the world can be smoothly obtained and implemented, Han Fei called this central governance, for the centralized power. ”

When Ying Zheng heard this, he already admired Han Fei very much in his heart, centralization, this kind of system, he had never heard of it, but it was undeniable that he couldn't find anything to refute.

Local and central.

Ying Zheng said: "The widow understands, the widow finally knows the problem of Qin, since the widow is in power, he is the same as the previous king, abandoning Confucianism and Taoism and practicing the law, strict is enough, but I just feel a little like a cat and a tiger, I always feel that it is not so handy, and now I have heard your theory, and the widow has finally woken up." ”

Ying Zheng's sigh was naturally extremely profound.

It's like if he wants to implement his decree to Dongjun now, the only way is to send someone to Dongjun to find Zhang Tang and let Zhang Tang do it.

It seems that it is still the king's order, and Zhang Tang will implement it.

But the inside is different.

For example, there is no specific process for the implementation of the decree to return to the central government, and there is only a way to send individuals back to Xianyang to talk about how to establish and improve the law and how the localities can be supervised by the central government.

This question is now obtained here in Han Fei.

How not to surprise Yingzheng.

Su Zheng was secretly frightened, isn't this the county system.

Historically, the county system was proposed by Li Si, and from that time on, the Qin State from the pavilion to the county, to the city, to the county, whether it is population or food, everything will be governed by a complete system of the central government.

However, the Qin State was still destroyed.

This Liss said that there was another contradiction.

However, even if Ying Zheng was ten times smarter, it was impossible to imagine that although the county system was later, it was even used by later generations for more than 2,300 years.

No matter how the dynasty changes, no matter how it wants to change, the land of China is still a county system.

It can be seen how powerful the intelligence of the person who put forward it is.

After all, at that time, no one was God's perspective.

According to the original history, after Yingzheng unified the world, he was immediately confused, because he didn't know how to manage the unified world, and he didn't want to divide it like the sages.

So he obeyed Li Si's county system.

Su Zai asked: "Ben Hou has something unclear, and he still wants to ask for advice." ”

Han Fei arched his hand and said: "How dare you ask for advice as a Taifu in the future, Han Fei is not necessarily right, but he points out the shortcomings of Legalism according to Legalist thought, and gives improvements, which is more suitable for the current world." ”

Su Zai said with a smile: "Han Changshi's words are serious, the centralization proposed by Han Changshi is the county system in the eyes of Ben Hou, Ben Hou agrees very much, if the Qin State is unified, the county system you said will be implemented, the country will be stable, and the national fortune will be prosperous. ”

Ying Zheng and Han Fei were also very surprised.

Ying Zheng said: "I can't imagine that Taifu is so respected, the county system? What a county system? This is really a precedent in ancient and modern times, and few people are fortunate to know that there is such a way to govern the world. ”

When Han Fei heard this, he muttered to himself: "County system? Yes, it's the right thing to do! ”

Su Zheng asked solemnly: "The people of the world, now the people of the seven countries, are all divided and governed, and the people have long been accustomed to the control of the princes, but once the Qin State dominates the world and realizes the county system, the people of the Seven Kingdoms will become the people of Qin, and the people of Guanzhong are still good, but those people who originally belonged to other countries will begin to suffer from the Qin law." ”

"Under the instigation of the remnants of the nations, there will inevitably be rebellion, once the central government does not handle it properly, isn't it still in danger of destroying the country? It's like Zhao Di, every year the people of Zhao come out to rebel against Qin, and thus be suppressed by Qin, year after year, over and over again, and when the world is unified, isn't the situation of Zhao State permeating the entire Qin State? ”
