"Why are you here again?"

In the stone room of the Imperial History Mansion, Zhang Cang's fat face was lifted from the pile of books, and he looked at the uninvited guest Heifu with some impatience.

Heifu smiled bitterly: "Zi Gu, is this disgusting me?" ”

"How dare you."

Zhang Cang stood up with a few cases and muttered: "It's just that when Heifu is a councilor, it doesn't matter, it's an idle errand." Now as a Zhonglang household order, the guard is forbidden, in addition to resting Mu, when he does not leave the king, he still has time to come to the hiding room, so it is strange. ”

Heifu said helplessly: "Today is on the order of His Majesty, let me come to find the book." ”

"Your Majesty asked you to pick up the book?"

Zhang Cang was a little surprised: "Isn't this the business of the confessor?" ”

"I didn't take it and send it to the inner court, but let me see it myself." That's where Heifu gets upset.

He said: "I don't know where the book is, so I can only come to Zi Gu for help." ”

Zhang Cang became interested: "What book did Your Majesty let you read?"

"The volume of the Marquis of Shu in "The Book of Qin"."

Qin Ji is the name of the history book of the Qin State, this book is hidden in the "Ming Hall Room" next door, with Zhang Cang's help, Heifu quickly found the old bamboo slips.

He sat down on the desk with good lighting, and after unfolding the scroll, he skipped the records of the Shu silkworm Cong Yu and Du Yu's Kaiming clan, and jumped directly to the battle of Qin's extermination of Shu.

"In the ninth year of King Huiwen, Zhang Yi, Sima Cuo, Du Weimo and others cut down Shu from Shiniu Road, and the king of Shu rejected it from Jiameng, and was defeated, and Bashu was returned to Qin ......"

"Ten years, King Huiwen made Tongguo, the son of the King of Shu, the Marquis of Shu, and Chen Zhuang as the minister of Shu. In the next six years, the Marquis of Shu Tongguo rebelled against Chen Zhuang, and King Huiwen ordered the chief Gan Mao, Zhang Yi, and Sima Coo to return to Shu, Chen Zhuang was afraid, killed the Marquis of Shu to surrender, and then punished Chen Zhuang and exterminated the Kaiming clan......"

Hefu had only heard about this history and did not know the details, but the emperor specially ordered him to read it, which must have a deep meaning.

"In the seventeenth year, King Huiwen named Qin Gongzi Yun as the Marquis of Shu, and he was strong in Shu to Rong Bo, which was to move the people of Qin to ten thousand families. Twenty-seven years, Zhang Ruocheng Chengdu. ”

"It turns out that Chengdu came from like this...... "Although Heifu likes sweetness, he also loves spicy food, and he likes Chengdu and Chongqing very much.

He continued to look down: "In the fourteenth year of King Zhaoxiang, the Marquis of Shu sacrificed mountains and rivers and offered them to the king, and the king and his close ministers were killed. The king suspected that the Marquis of Shu was rebelling, and he was furious, causing Yun to commit suicide and executing twenty-seven of his ministers......"

Heifu was shocked when he read this, and understood Qin Shi Huang's intention to let him read this history.

Sure enough, further down the page, there was another rebellion.

"In the fifteenth year of King Zhaoxiang, Wang reinstated Gongzi as the Marquis of Shu. In the thirtieth year, he heard that the Marquis of Shu wanted to rebel, and the king reinstated him. Then the Marquis of Shu was abolished, Shu County was placed, and Zhang Ruo was the county guard...... Later, King Xiaowen took Li Bing as the ...... of Shu County"

After reading it, he was speechless for a long time, just sighed and covered his face.

Good guy, I was slapped in the face by the emperor!

Of course, Zhang Cang knew the content on the bamboo slip, and when he saw that Heifu behaved differently, he said in a low voice: "What did you say to Your Majesty?" ”

"No other."

Heifu smiled again, this matter was a small lesson given to him by the emperor, and he had to keep his mouth shut, but if he thought about it carefully, it was quite an honor to be instructed by Qin Shi Huang.

The meaning of Qin Shi Huang is obvious, and the policy of "one country, two systems" offered by Heifu is not new. And the idea of "using the border marquis to town Rong Bo barbarian", King Huiwen and King Zhaoxiang have long practiced it in Shu, but the result is not very good.

Whether it was the Marquis of Shu of the Kaiming clan or the two sons of the Qin State, they did not end well, but it was Ba County next door. There was no feudal son to guard the town, and the county was directly set up, because the ethnic policy implemented against the Ba people was reasonable, and there was never any big chaos.

"There is a rebel here, but there is no rebel county, and it is ......"

Heifu's smile was a little bitter, he understood what the emperor meant: young man, if you want to make suggestions for the country's plans, you should learn more!

He finally understood why the emperor and the Legalists insisted on a comprehensive county and would never let go of the feudal feuds......

This matter is a foregone conclusion, and he can't change it with just a few words.

……

Sure enough, the next day, when Heifu was still on duty in the four seas and returned to one hall, the emperor summoned his ministers and announced the decision on feudalism and counties at the court meeting.

"When the Son of Heaven was founded, the princes established a family, the secretary placed the side room, the doctor had two sects, relatives and respects, although thousands of people praised it, but this private world also!"

"Qin is different, take the law as the teaching, take the officials as the teacher, reward not selfish relatives, the clan is not allowed to belong to the clan without merit, the prince Wang Sun II is the common people, and the first soldier of the Qianqian can be listed in the court for his achievements in ploughing and warfare, and this public world is also!"

Standing in the hall, Heifu's throat moved, and he always felt that this was not quite right, but when he thought of his own experience, there was nothing wrong with it.

Although he only developed by hugging Li You's thighs, in the final analysis, what allowed him to rise was the relatively fair military merit system of the Qin State.

After these two resounding declarations, the Emperor ordered the confessor to read out the final verdict:

"Today, the next party is fighting endlessly, so as to have the prince. Lai Zongmiao, the world was initially decided, and the country was restored, it is a tree soldier, and it is not difficult to ask for its peace! Feudalism, the theory of counties and counties, the court is discussed! ”

"Therefore, I don't seal my children, and divide the world into thirty-six counties, and the counties are guarded, captained, and imprisoned!"

The victory was decided, and the Doctors at the end of the temple fell silent, disappointed in the new dynasty.

After sighing lightly, Wang Xuan, the prime minister of the left, took the lead in bowing down and praising him, expressing his determination to obey the emperor!

Li Si also bowed down with the ministers, but when he lowered his head, the corners of his mouth showed a smile that no one noticed.

This is not only a dispute between him and Wang Juan for the future right minister, nor is it not only a dispute between feudal counties and counties, but also a dispute between Confucianism.

In the past few months, the Confucian doctors have jumped up and down, and finally been woken up by a stick, and the emperor's most trusted thing is still the government of the Legalists.

And he Li Si will always be in the heart of the emperor!

……

The four seas returned to the palace, and the ministers bowed and praised the emperor's decision, but the ears of Qin Shi Huang suddenly sounded the words that had been haunting his ears for the past twenty years.

"Qin Wangzheng, do you remember...... The ancestors of the past dynasties, the ambition to rule the world? ”

"I remember, I have achieved this ambition."

He held the jade seal carved by He's bi with both hands, and covered it heavily on the edict!

"Grander ambitions, great deeds of the ages, will be realized in my hands!"

If the world is a carriage, then the emperor is the emperor, and he will make a long plan and control the universe!

He waved his whip to take the world away from this "separation-division" road that has lasted for thousands of years, and bring the creatures of Kyushu to a new path!

Shiyun: "Zhou Dao is like a stone, and it is as straight as an arrow." What the gentleman does, the villain sees. ”

Confucian scholars praised Zhou Zheng, but in the eyes of Qin Shi Huang, it was just a stale and conservative way.

And Qin Dao is the way of the queen of law, the way of pushing through the old and bringing forth the new, and the way that no matter how good the gentleman or the villain, they can give full play to their talents!

It is also the way of the eternal lineage!

Even though Heifu's words that day made him hesitate a little, Emperor Qin's heart was as strong as iron, he did not allow repetition, and he would never turn back!

His gaze was always forward, looking past the heads wearing high crowns and martial crowns, looking outside the temple gate, and looking into the distance.

Qin Shi Huang seemed to see the captives of the Six Kingdoms in shackles, wading through the turbid waves of the Weishui River, building a new majestic palace on the loess of the northern saka of Xianyang.

He saw that Hangu was open to the east, and 120,000 households and nobles from the six countries and the common people were dragging their families and mouths, and they were coming to the west.

He saw that the soldiers of the world were collected one by one, and the beggar-thy-neighbor Guanliang River defense was collapsed one by one, and the big river was no longer troubled, and the dangers of the past became a smooth road.

He also saw the vast expanse of land under his rule.

The east of the land is to Haiji Korea, the west is to Lintao and Qiangzhong, the south is to Wuling, the north is according to the river is the plug, and Yinshan is to Liaodong. And in the south of Limen and Jiuzhi, there is still an unknown wooded seashore waiting for the Qin people to explore.

He also saw that on both sides of Zhangtai Street, the officials of the various government offices were sealing copies of his edict, handing it over to the post posters, and sending it to various places in the boats, and delivering it to the guards, orders, and ministers of 36 counties and thousands of counties, and then continued to pass it downward, and read it aloud to the illiterate people by the townsmen and lidian.

What will be followed will be the chanting of 30 million heads in unison.

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years!"

"Qin Wannian!"

……

After Qin Shi Huang charioted out of the palace, Heifu, who didn't have to be on duty tonight, still stood in place for a long time.

"The emperor thought that he could cut the dead knot of feudal-division and lead the world on a new path. As everyone knows, China's 2,000-year-old cycle of chaos has just begun! ”

Can you be harsh? I'm afraid not.

Hefu pondered: "Each of us, whether ancient or time-traveler, can only look for answers from known history. ”

"Later generations will see the benefits of Qin's rapid destruction and Han's implementation of the parallel county state, and will think about whether Qin can take a different path when he is divided. But Qin Shi Huang and Li Si, what they saw was the great chaos caused by the Zhou Dynasty, and the three rebellions in Shu caused by the canonization of the Marquis of Shu by the Qin State! ”

But then again, the decision made by the emperor today is not wrong in the general direction

Although it is easy to bend the waist too fast, although his stubbornness will exacerbate the sharpness of the contradiction. But the wheels of history are rolling forward, the tide of the times is mighty, this resolute, enterprising, and fighting man, even if the choice he makes at this moment, even if it is not perfect, is it not worthy of respect?

Hef found himself involuntarily worried about the future of the Empire......

Although the honor and disgrace of an individual's life is the most important, it is impossible to be indifferent and let it go as it sits within the system.

At this time, he also walked down the stairs, along the central axis of the palace, and came to the gate of Zhangtai Palace, Lang Wei also has a holiday, Heifu has been in the palace for ten days, and finally ushered in a rare rest.

Unexpectedly, outside the palace gate, someone stopped him and said:

"Nakaro Household Order! I haven't seen me for three years, and when I was in the temple, I didn't know me anymore? ”

Looking at the young man in front of him who was dressed as a bus and was about the same age as himself, Heifu was stunned for a moment, and then he was happy.

"It turned out to be Brother Ba!"

It was when the Yidaoba people rebelled in Nanjun that he joined hands with him to quell the rebellion Ba Zhong, the son of Ba widow Qing!

However, why did the son of this mine boss come to Xianyang?
