"Your Majesty, the minister does not approve of ruling the world with a feudal system." Sure enough, as everyone expected, without waiting for the other ministers to speak for or against, a minister loyal to the First Emperor immediately jumped out to veto, and then loudly put forward his own idea of governing the country: "The minister thinks that the county system is more in line with the situation of my dynasty. He begged His Majesty to divide the world into a number of counties, and to send county guards and county lieutenants to manage the local government and military, and to allow them to have a certain degree of autonomy, but they must be designated by His Majesty for a term of several years. In this way, the majesty of His Majesty can be conveyed to the place through the county guard and the county lieutenant, stabilize the hearts of the people and the army, and make the world peaceful forever! ”

"What kind of county system governs the world, it's simply ridiculous."

A minister jumped out and accused the minister who proposed the "county system" with a righteous face, and said loudly: "If you don't do things for yourself, you will not be diligent, and if people do not do things for yourself, it will be disadvantageous. Therefore, if the world is governed by a feudal system, the shepherds in various places are the princes of His Majesty and the most loyal noble ministers, and they are the cornerstone of our great cadres to build the country, and they will never harm the interests of the dynasty because of selfishness. In contrast, the sub-envelope system is more reliable. ”

"The so-called 'man is not for his own sake', if the shepherds in various places are the lords of the vassal states, they will consider all matters in their own interests, and then they will be kings and hegemons in various places, and where will your majesty be!" One of the ministers sneered.

"Nonsense! If you can't even trust the prince and the minister, can you trust the other ministers as the county guard? You yourself have said that people will not be destroyed for their own sake, do you think that the minister who serves as the county guard will not ignore the majesty of His Majesty for his own interests? ”

One of the ministers snapped.

"That's much better than sealing the land and becoming a prince!"

"It's better to divide the envelope system......"

"For my 10,000-year foundation, I implore Your Majesty to adopt a feudal system to govern the world!"

Just when the solemn and solemn court, because of the support for the two systems to govern the world, and the competition was so close that they almost rolled up their sleeves to fight, a harsh voice suddenly sounded in the main hall, hearing this voice, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including the left prime minister Li Si and the right prime minister Fan Ju are faces changed, and everyone turned their heads and looked at the voice one after another.

Wang Juan!

Seeing the white-haired, skinny but upright figure, the Confucian lineage in the court and the ministers who hoped for the implementation of the feudal system were all shocked and invigorated.

Former Zuo Prime Minister Wang Xuan, over the age of sixties, very senior, is the first emperor's hardcore loyal minister, when there were forces from all sides to make trouble, resulting in Su Qi died on the battlefield, and there was Lu Xiang to take power, the big cadres inside and outside can be described as precarious, it was he who supported the first emperor, lobbied many neutral ministers to take refuge, and made great contributions to the first emperor's smooth ascension to the throne. Although others have retired from the position of prime minister early because of their old age, his influence in the court is unparalleled.

Seeing that it was him, the minister who opposed the feudal system didn't dare to say anything, even though the minister opposite was too shameless in his heart, and even the old man moved out.

I saw Wang Juan say clearly: "The world is so big, it is not comparable to the great cadres when they are a vassal state, like the Yan country, the Qi country, and the Chu country are located in a remote area, and if you don't set a king for them, you can't pacify it." Since the establishment of our dynasty, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms have not forgotten to restore the country, and the disciples of the Mo family have taken the anti-cadre as their own responsibility, and the local soldiers have been exterminated unfavorably, and the reason is that there is no king to pacify the local area. Your Majesty, the old minister hopes that Your Majesty can implement the feudal system as soon as possible, divide the princes under Your Majesty's knees, divide them into various places, and shepherd all countries on behalf of the Son of Heaven. ”

"What the old prime minister said is very true." The Confucian minister Chun Yuyue walked out and said without hesitation: "Those who can last for a long time without learning from the ancients are unheard of." Yin Shang ruled the country with a feudal system, won the country for 600 years, and followed this policy, and the country had a lifespan of more than 900 years. If I can follow the example of the ancient sages to govern the country, and rely on the protection of His Majesty and the gods, I will definitely be able to enjoy the glory of the country for thousands of years! ”

The old prime minister is right. The doctor's insights are also unique. Emperor Shi, who had been silently observing the actions of the ministers, had to speak gently to appease the old prime minister, and his statement immediately made the hearts of the ministers below who supported the feudal system happy, but the next moment, their hearts fell into the ice hole.

"It's just that this matter is very important, and I need to think about it carefully. Zuo Prime Minister Li Si, what do you think about this discussion? ”

Hearing the words of the first emperor, the hearts of the aristocratic ministers and the ministers of the Confucian line couldn't help sinking, and the fools knew that Li Si, who had served as a court lieutenant, was the leader of the Legalists who were vigorously promoted by the first emperor, but the first emperor was the first to look forward, and the first emperor listened to the words of the old prime minister Wang Juan and Dr. Chun Yuyue, but went to ask Li Si's opinion, and his attitude had already indicated his position.

Wang Juan sighed softly, knowing that his efforts were in vain after all, he couldn't help but feel lost, as if he had aged several years all of a sudden.

Zuo Prime Minister Li Si walked out of the queue without hurrying, and Lang Lang said: "It is not advisable to use the history of Zhou to prove the superiority of the feudal system to govern the country. As we all know, King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou divided their disciples and relatives with the same surname, although it made the world temporarily calm, but their descendants gradually became estranged and attacked each other, just like enemies, the princes fought against each other, never dying, and later, even Zhou Tianzi was powerless to stop it. ”

"Now that the world is unified by the power of His Majesty's gods, it is only necessary to divide the world into a number of counties and select capable and pragmatic ministers to manage it. For princes and meritorious officials, the ministers advocated the use of public taxes to reward them heavily, based on financial rewards, rather than giving fiefs. The implementation of the county system, supplemented by the Qi people to govern Qi, the Yan people to govern the Yan policy, over time, the people of the world are the people of the great cadres, and there is no evil heart, the world is naturally peaceful. ”

"What Aiqing said is very agreeable!" The First Emperor sighed and said, "In the past, everyone in the world suffered from endless wars for many years, and it was because of those princes and kings. Now that I rely on the gods of my ancestors, the world has just been settled, and if I set up a vassal state, it will be tantamount to provoking another war, and it will be difficult to demand peace and tranquility? ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The First Emperor said everything to this point, if he still dared to insist on the feudal system, that is, he would use his own head to test whether the blade of the soldier was sharp, and the ministers who were refined and calculating would naturally not do such a stupid thing. Some clever ministers and generals have already begun to secretly plan to take on the position of a county guard or county lieutenant.

The Confucian ministers were bent on restoring the Zhou rites, and would never agree to the implementation of any county system, even if the first emperor opened his mouth to set the tone. It's just that when they were about to plead again, a large internal guard suddenly rushed into the court hall in a hurry, his face full of excitement.

"Report! Special Envoy Su Lingxuan has an urgent military situation to inform His Majesty. Yesterday at night, the Mo family giant led a group of masters of unknown origin, as well as nearly a thousand disciples to attack the camp at night, and was defeated by the envoy Su Lingxuan led the troops, killing hundreds of Mo family disciples, and a group of masters of mysterious origin were all ambushed and captured! In this battle, the envoy won a great victory! ”

Bang!

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the news brought by the guards caused an uproar in the main hall. The reason is nothing else, it is really that the name of the Mo family giant is too loud.

The Mohist school is listed as one of the two major schools of thought among the hundred sons of the Confucianists, and its disciples uphold the concepts of Mozi, the patriarch of the school, such as "love and love" and "non-attack", and never agree with the action of the Great Qian Dynasty to unify the world, and are determined to oppose the Qian.

Since the Daqian Dynasty was promoted from a vassal state to a dynasty, the disciples of the Mo family contacted the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and have been secretly planning all kinds of trouble-making actions, secretly engaging in anti-cadre undertakings in various places. It can be said that this school of thought is the biggest obstacle to the Daqian Dynasty's governance of the world.

There was a chaotic conversation in the court, and the ministers and generals who didn't know the inside story were discussing the authenticity of the information, after all, they all knew the power of the Mo family, and they expressed considerable doubts about the fact that Su Lingxuan, whose name was "waste" resounding in Xianyang City, could survive the sneak attack of the Mo family and catch the Mo family giant. As for the ministers who knew the inside story or had something to do with themselves, their hearts jumped suddenly, and their faces changed greatly.

The First Emperor looked at the ministers below whose faces had changed drastically with a smile, and only after a moment did he say, "Bring the detailed report!" ”

"Yes!"
