"Tonight, let's discuss the gains and losses and influences of the current Great Qin Empire, what do you think?" Wei Yu was the first to ask.

"If the teacher likes it, it's fine." Chen Sheng smiled slightly. Wei Yi teaching, quite a famous style, like to comment with Chen Sheng on the political gains and losses of all generations over the ages, this kind of open-minded teaching, so that Chen Sheng learned a lot of knowledge from it, and the ideological realm has become more broad. Especially when it comes to some palace secrets and hidden affairs of the princes that have not been recorded in historical books, many of the contents make Chen Sheng feel extremely novel. These are all the contents that the later Taishi Gong did not include in the "Historical Records". Not to mention people like Chen Sheng, who rarely turn over history books, even if they look through Taishi Gong's works, it is difficult to find them.

"Hmm." Wei Yu's expression was flat, and he began to ask: "The world has been divided for hundreds of years, and finally the dust has settled this year, Sheng'er, my Great Qin unified the six countries, the emperor abolished the division of feuds, the county system, set up three princes and nine secretaries, the book is the same text, the car is on the same track, unified weights and measures, the world style is a new one, in this regard, what do you think of the emperor's measures?" ”

Wei Yu's face was solemn, and he couldn't see joy or anger. But very seriously. This question was determined after thinking about it for a long time. These measures, in today's world, except for a very small number of politicians with excellent vision and insight into the world, the rest of them are only regarded as emperors who are different and show their own unique actions. Wei Yi believed that if his disciples were only a little wise and not wise, it would be impossible for them to see through the great benefits of the decrees implemented by the Great Qin Empire at such an age.

Hearing Wei Yu's question, Chen Sheng didn't even think about it, so he said: "Abolishing the feudal division and implementing the county system is conducive to the imperial court controlling the world." If the empire follows the example of the three dynasties and the feudal state is widespread, it is tantamount to forming the situation since the Western Zhou Dynasty again, and within a hundred years, the world will definitely reappear in the war of annexation of the world! This move is beneficial to all the people in the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the emperor's move will benefit all generations; And the three princes and nine secretaries, the division of government affairs is clear, there is mutual containment, which is conducive to the emperor's control of the courtiers, but also conducive to the implementation of government decrees, although it is not the best way, but it is also rare, and as for the book with the text, the car with the track, the unity of weights and measures, it is a major measure that is conducive to the integration of my Chinese people, the unity of civilization and the unity of thought, then the people's cohesion, the people's cohesion is the world's peace, this is naturally a great feat! Regarding the exploits of Qin Shi Huangdi, these have long been settled in the history books, but Chen Sheng only slightly modified the comments in them, using the "take-it-or-leave-it" doctrine, and relayed these words to Wei Yi.

"Good!" Wei Yu slapped his thigh and praised loudly. The emperor also had a plan behind the implementation of these decrees, and naturally had an extremely deep understanding of the true meaning of these decrees. I was very satisfied with Chen Sheng's explanation, and I had already determined the identity of my student "saint" in my heart.

Hearing that the master and apprentice were discussing politics, Tian Peng couldn't help but listen. He was originally the son of a family, and he had a natural sensitivity to politics, and after listening to Chen Sheng's words, he couldn't help but be impressed in his heart, and he was afraid that none of the faint monarchs and ministers in the Qi country could compare with the young man in front of him who was only slightly older than himself.

Wei Yu thought for a while, and suddenly asked Qidao: "Sheng'er, I heard you say that the system of three princes and nine kings is not a very good method, do you think that there are better measures in the world today?" "At the beginning, in order to divide the power structure of the three princes and nine secretaries, the emperor gathered countless ministers and talents, and repeatedly discussed before he came up with such a power structure. However, thinking of Chen Sheng's possible identity, Chen Sheng hadn't spoken yet, but he had already believed a little.

Chen Sheng smiled bitterly, thought for a while and said: "The three princes and nine kings, restraining each other, are essentially for the emperor's family to be dominant. But the autocracy of the emperor also has drawbacks, if there is a dim son of heaven and no restraints, it will cause the people to live in misery. ”

Wei Yi's brows tightened. Chen Sheng's words are already a bit rebellious. In this era when centralized power was just forming, the idea of separation of powers and checks and balances that Chen Sheng was familiar with in later generations was obviously not suitable for this era. However, he said: "The real reasonable power structure, first of all, is to restrain the unlimited power of the emperor, and the power comes from the people, and the people can veto the dissatisfied king." ”

Wei Yi's brows furrowed again, as if he was in endless contemplation, he nodded, but then shook his head again, and said thoughtfully after a while: "Master Meng once said, 'The people are the most expensive, the society is second, and the king is the lightest.'" This is somewhat the same as what you said, but this kind of political structure is not liked by any emperor, let alone implemented. Maybe thousands of years later, the world will change, or it may be possible. ”

Chen Sheng smiled helplessly. Why doesn't he know this? When this people-oriented ideology was extended to democratic politics, I don't know how many years it took, let alone how many people died and how much blood was shed to realize it. Regarding Wei Yu's judgment, Chen Sheng secretly said in his heart, in this piece of land, the structure established by the emperor has been maintained for more than two thousand years, which is twice as long as the thousands of years that Wei Yu said.

After asking, Wei Yi was very satisfied. Suddenly changing the topic, Wei Yu asked: "Now that the empire is unified, what do you think is the top priority, and what will be the direction of the empire?" ”

Chen Sheng thought for a while and said: "Naturally, it is to lightly punish the meager endowment, gather the hearts of the people, vigorously eliminate the diehard forces of the six countries, and maintain the stability of the territory." Wei Yu nodded, this answer is also decent, not outstanding, but it is basically in line with the current national policy.

But Chen Sheng changed his words and said; "But with the current emperor's character, this is not very likely. The current emperor is young and ambitious, and it will not be long before he will go back to war. ”

Wei Yu's heart moved, and he asked, "The Six Kingdoms have been pacified, where are the soldiers?" ”

Chen Sheng said with a solemn face: "Conquer Baiyue in the south and conquer the Xiongnu in the north." ”

"......" Wei Yi was shocked in his heart, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face. You must know that this southern expedition to the north, but after the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, one of the established national policies formulated by the emperor and him, only to recuperate for a year or two, the army will attack on two fronts, expand the territory in the south, and drive out the Xiongnu and other barbarian tribes that threaten the safety of Xianyang in the north. Few of the ministers in the government and the opposition could understand the emperor's thoughts, but Chen Sheng saw it.

"Yes, with the emperor's character, he should behave like this." Wei Yu said quietly. When Chen Sheng said this, he had made a comprehensive determination of Chen Sheng's judgment: if he wasn't a natural saint, how could this kid see the general trend of the world so thoroughly. This kind of ability is a mystery that only the legendary saints who know for 500 years and know 500 years can see!
