Chapter 49: Spring Comes Again [4k, end of this volume]
With Zhongmu as the core, covering three counties?
This basically gave most of Sanchuan County to Chen Ke, because Sanchuan County is only seven counties.
Among them, Zhongmu and the three counties mentioned by Fang Cai are a total of four, which already accounts for more than half of Sanchuan County.
Half of the county was given to Chen Ke and became Chen Ke's fiefdom.....
This is indeed a very trusting move for Chen Ke, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible for the First Emperor to give such a big place to Chen Ke.
You must know that after the division of counties and counties in Daqin today, there is no so-called fiefdom.
Even Wang Jian has no fief at the highest level, or there is no clear fief, and some can only enjoy some of the property above the fief.
However, when the First Emperor said that this would be his fief, there were no additional conditions at all.
Obviously, it is possible to give Chen Ke all the power here.
And immediately after, what everyone was thinking appeared in their ears, it was the voice of the First Emperor who was extremely calm, and even seemed light.
"Chen Ke, relocate these four counties as "Chang'an County" and become your fiefdom, and from now on, in Chang'an County, you can even be said to be a veritable king of Chang'an."
The First Emperor looked at Chen Ke quietly like this, and after hearing the First Emperor's words, the people around him also looked at Chen Ke quietly.
Their eyes were filled with jealousy and envy.
How can this not be envied?
After the founding of the country, the only fief with real power, what is the difference between this and being crowned a king?
Often the things that all people, or many people, have, are not enviable, but often the only thing is the most enviable.
For only one can get,
This is the case with Chen Ke today.
If there were a lot of feudal princes within Great Qin at this time, then the reward that Chen Ke received at this time would not be worth mentioning.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
Everyone was waiting for Chen Ke to thank him, and they all felt that Chen Ke must be grateful, not refused, because they didn't think that someone would refuse such a big benefit.
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke and quietly waited for Chen Ke's answer.
Fusu stood at the front with his head bowed, the look in his eyes was invisible, and Wang Jian and Li Si were both looking at Chen Ke quietly.
Above the court, it was so silent, and it was rare to be so silent.
Chen Ke felt everything around him, whether it was the jealous eyes, or other eyes, or the malicious eyes hidden in the dark, which he thought he couldn't feel.
He put it all out of the way.
Standing there quietly, feeling the tranquility of Zhangtai Palace at this moment.
After a while, he slowly stepped forward, his voice a little flat, but there was a thick seriousness in this smoothness.
"Your Majesty, thank Your Majesty for the grace of the fief."
The meaning contained in this sentence is so strong that the people around him are instantly relieved, and then their eyes are full of excitement.
Even Wang Jian and Li Si are like this.
Why?
Because everything is difficult at the beginning, it is very simple to continue to carry out one thing along this end.
Just like the appearance of the first emperor and the appearance of the title of "emperor", the people behind can easily continue.
It's like a county system.
The people in the back can imitate the people in front and continue to implement this system, and there is no need to waste any brains at all.
Subsequent dynasties rarely introduced new things, and most of the time they sewed and patched up the original things.
For example, the county system in the early Han Dynasty was a very simple and mechanical integration of the county system and the feudal system, and there was no even integration.
It's just that some Western counties have a county system, and some places have a sub-feudal system, that's all.
The official system of the Han Dynasty basically followed the official system of the Qin Dynasty and basically remained unchanged.
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was no new system, nothing more than the emergence of a nine-grade Zhongzheng system, which was just a division of grades.
Later, the three provinces and six ministries in the Sui and Tang dynasties were a relatively novel innovation, but it was only on the basis of the three princes and nine secretaries, and some powers were divided, nothing more.
Throughout history, it is said that it is the first one, and there are probably only four things.
One is the "emperor system" during the First Emperor period, the "county system of unified nations", the "imperial examination system" in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the "provincial system" in the Yuan period.
And now that Chen Ke has made a head, a fief with real power, then it will be much easier for these heroes to get a fief with real power in the future.
The big deal is just meritorious service.
Everyone saw hope, and saw the hope that they might be able to divide the fiefdom in a large area, even if their own credit in the future is not as big as Chen Ke, and the territory is not as big as Chen Ke, so what about a county?
What about half a county?
Even so, it is something that can be passed down from generation to generation.
Just as everyone was excited, Chen Ke's voice rang out again, and this time, his voice caused these people to fall into a brief panic.
"But Your Majesty, the minister disagrees with two points."
"First, the minister did not agree with the division of Zhongmu and the other three counties as a separate fief of the minister, and named it "Chang'an County".
He raised his head and was clearly organized: "For example, many counties today have already been divided, and counties with a "planning" nature have been formed, and at this time, "Chang'an" is divided separately, so what about the remaining counties in Sanchuan County?" ”
"If the minister is not mistaken, there should be three counties left, can these three counties form a county?"
"If you can't form a county, how should it be divided? Divide these three counties separately into Xianyang and the imperial court? ”
"If you do, what will be the level of these counties?"
"If it is divided into other counties, what about other counties? Will there be a huge, bloated county? ”
"This has a great impact on the world, and the minister does not agree with this matter."
After listening to Chen Ke's words, everyone's hearts relaxed a little, and they were secretly speculating.
Is this for the sake of Daqin, or do you feel that there are only four counties too few, and you want to simply want one county? Directly want a Sanchuan County?
Such a thought filled everyone's minds, and even Fusu was shaken for a moment, feeling that it was his teacher who wanted more.
There were only two, no, three people, and when they heard Chen Ke's words, they looked at Chen Ke in some surprise, with suspicion in their eyes.
It shouldn't be.
On the top of the main hall, only one Chen Ke was still standing there steadily, neither his mood nor his expression changed in the slightest.
He quietly looked at the First Emperor and many ministers in front of him, and finally spoke: "Your Majesty, the second is that the minister does not approve of His Majesty's handing over the rights of the entire Chang'an County to the minister. ”
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall suddenly became even more silent.
Everyone looked at Chen Ke in astonishment, with a blank and puzzled face, as if they didn't understand why Chen Ke could refuse such a big temptation.
Truly.
Who can refuse such a big right?
Few will be able to refuse.
But now there is a person who can refuse, and this person not only refuses, but also cuts off everyone's back road.
And that's not all.
Chen Ke continued to speak, and he stepped forward, like a warrior about to fight.
"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be started."
"Or that everything can't begin, and if you make a beginning, the follow-up will be out of control."
"For example, now that His Majesty has given his ministers the rights in a fief, then there are more people who have made great contributions later, what should I do?"
"Such as the old general Wang Jian."
"Your Majesty gave me a county of land and gave me the right to a county, then General Wang made great contributions, and even destroyed several countries."
"How many fiefs should there be for such a merit, and how much real power should there be?"
"Such as Prime Minister Li Si."
"The destruction of the Six Kingdoms must have the credit of Prime Minister Li Si, if there is no Prime Minister Li Si to stabilize the world in the rear, then how can the world be pacified?"
"With such a credit, how many back covers should be given to Prime Minister Li Si?"
Chen Ke turned around and looked at the many ministers standing behind him: "Among the many courtiers standing in the Zhangtai Palace, who are among the three princes and nine kings, which one has not made a lot of contributions?" ”
"Your Majesty."
"If I am given rights, then what about these people?"
"If it is given to them, how much land will be left in this world?"
Chen Ke said earnestly: "Your Majesty, there are not many lands in the world, even if you count other continents, there are not many. ”
"Your Majesty has worked hard to unify the world and shape it into the current situation, do you want to bury such a Great Qin with one hand?"
"Great Qin, or the Central Plains and the land of China, have finally converged into one, is Your Majesty going to split them up with his own hands?"
"What good is it for Your Majesty to split it like this?"
"What's in it for Great Qin?"
Saying this, Chen Ke knelt down slightly, with a slight heaviness in his eyes: "Your Majesty." ”
"If it is because of the ministers, Huaxia will fall apart again, Daqin will fall apart again, and the county system that has been held on to it will fall apart, and in the near future, it will become similar to Zhou's feudal system again."
"What kind of sinner should he be?"
"How will the people of the Hereafter write about their ministers?"
Thinking of this, speaking of this, Chen Ke's eyes were already full of tears, he raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng who was sitting on the high platform.
"Your Majesty."
"Minister, I don't agree with this."
This is the first time that Chen Ke has faced Ying Zheng with words of rejection, and even the first time that Chen Ke has such a tough attitude towards Ying Zheng and opposes Chen Ke so strongly.
Everyone standing in the court looked at these two people with a slight touch in their eyes.
Wang Jian took a step forward: "Your Majesty, the minister seconded Chen Fengchang's idea. ”
Li Si also took a step forward: "Your Majesty, the minister also seconded Chen Fengchang's idea. ”
In the queue, another person walked out, his expression was heavy, he raised his head, a face was extremely similar to Meng Tian in the northern Xinjiang, but there was a little more Sven on his body.
It was Meng Yi.
Meng Yi looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, the minister does not agree with this matter. ”
He said softly: "On behalf of the Taiwei Meng Tian and the deceased martyrs of the Meng family, I seconded Chen Fengchang's idea. ”
Three Princes and Nine Princes, Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, General Wang Qian, Prime Minister Li Si, as well as Chen Ke, who can almost be called half of the Three Princes, and the younger brother of General Meng Tian, all of these people have expressed their positions.
How could the rest of us not understand the meaning of this?
Immediately, they chimed in: "Your Majesty, the ministers seconded Chen Fengchang's idea. ”
Ying Zheng sighed slightly, with a little tiredness and a little helplessness on his face.
"Since this is the case, then the four counties will not be divided, but these four counties will still be divided into your fiefdoms, and you will only enjoy some of the food in this fiefdom, but you will not control the rights of the four counties."
"The title is still Chang'an, which means to protect Chang'an."
"How?"
Chen Ke kowtowed slightly, with gratitude in his eyes: "Minister, thank you for your kindness." ”
"Your Majesty, ten thousand years-"
"Great Qin Wannian-"
Such a voice spread throughout the hall, and the court meeting ended in such a situation.
........
After the dispersal of the dynasty
Wang Jian and Li Si walked on the street with a slight smile in their eyes.
"Brother Li, what do you think of this play between Your Majesty and Chen Ke and Kid Chen?"
Li Si heard Wang Qian's question, and laughed in a low voice, he hid his smile so that others could not see that he was laughing.
"The play played by Chen Xiaozi and His Majesty is very good, at least at that time, few people can see it, or no one should be able to see it except you and me."
"You and I can see that it's because I know Your Majesty too well and know Chen Ke too well."
Li Si shook his head, and Wang Jian also said, "Isn't it." ”
"Especially on the side of the kid Chen Ke, he is not such a person who will harden His Majesty, he doesn't have the guts."
"So the right thing to develop should be after this incident, Chen Ke boy came to His Majesty and talked about this matter alone."
"How can you be so direct that you will confront Your Majesty in front of everyone?"
"Those who don't know Chen Ke will never know how timid and afraid of trouble Chen Ke is."
"Then they will never feel that this is a play, they will only feel that the actors in this play are so real."
The two talked and laughed and walked into the distance.
At this time, Chen Ke also came out of the Zhangtai Palace, and he stood on the steps outside the main hall, with a slight smile in his eyes.
The sky is still so blue, and the wind outside is still so clear.
A gust of wind was blowing, and the wind carried the smell of spring, everything in the distance seemed to be in full bloom, and the temperature in Daqin seemed to be rising.
All this indicates that spring is coming.
"Spring is coming."
Chen Ke sighed faintly, and then looked at the sky dome in the distance, as if he wanted to see something through this sky dome.
"Spring is coming, how many springs is this?"
