Chapter 244: Limiting Imperial Power
Be quiet.
With Yingcheng's loud words, many courtiers in the entire Dazheng Palace became extremely quiet.
It seems that even a heavy breath at this time is wrong.
"Dismantle!"
Wang Ben's eyes flickered, and he looked at Yingcheng incredulously.
These days, though he is on the throne.
But he knew exactly what was going on in Xianyang City.
On that day, he left Yingcheng in a bad mood, and he was ready to face Yingcheng directly.
Even he felt that the reason why Yingcheng did not preside over the government these days was because he was trying to find a way to deal with him.
But now.
Yingcheng's proposed military dismantling system.
made him unclear for a moment what Yingcheng was going to do.
Has the military dismantling weakened the military?
Not really!
On the contrary, there are so many townships in the world, even if there are five people stationed in a township, the number of them is in the millions.
Coupled with the strength of the seven major theaters, the strength of the entire Great Qin not only did not decrease, but on the contrary, it will increase.
That's not the point.
The real key, military service!
Once the military dismantling system is implemented.
Of the 50 million people in the world, there will be 30 million soldiers who can be called up for military service at any time.
In the military dismantling system, the seven major theaters not only have the ability to mobilize these troops, but also have the ability to mobilize all the people in the townships who are serving in the military.
This, unprecedentedly terrifying, strengthened the military power of the Qin State.
Feng Zheng and Wang Ben's eyes swelled, and they slowly moved towards the First Emperor, wanting to see the First Emperor's attitude.
However.
At this time, the First Emperor couldn't see the slightest emotion on his face, but just looked down at Yingcheng's book of ten thousand words quietly.
"Dismantle!"
Li Si couldn't help but murmur in a low voice, and his mind was constantly deducing the military disintegration.
"Dismantling."
Feng Qujian pondered in his heart, and tried his best to understand the core of the military dismantling system.
The fifteen core ministers in the entire Dazheng Palace, the real center of power in the world, secretly pondered one after another.
And Yingcheng.
There was no delay.
continued: "Third, divide the clan, give the surname, set up ten thousand Qin Ding, and sacrifice for the world!" ”
"In unpredictable times, even in our myths and legends, there is Pangu who opened the world and there is the Queen Mother of the West, and where its ethnic group is has long been unknown."
"And where did we come from?"
"There was no answer."
"Who were our ancestors?"
"There was no answer."
"However, it is widely agreed that the parents of the father and mother go back and forth, chasing back to antiquity and even the beginning of antiquity, and there is no trace."
"For example, the ancestors of my Ying clan, tracing the evil of Yin Shang, and tracing the ancient Ying tribe, however, inheriting the past, people have ancestors, in the era of Fuxi Nuwa, I believe that we must belong to a member of the ancient tribe."
"And for countless years, the world has agreed that we are the descendants of Yan and Huang."
"How?"
"In the fusion of countless tribes in ancient times, led by the Suiren tribe, a Chinese tribal fusion circle was formed, and then Xia Yu divided his ancestors into clans and shared ancestors,"
"There are surnames such as Xiahou, Hu, Nan, Xun, Tongcheng, Bao, Lou, Bao and so on."
"In a long period of time, there are surnames such as Li, Feng, and Wang."
"The same ancestor, that is, a clan, with a ancestral hall, worship together, and this, the formation of a huge clan, or hundreds of thousands of clans, like a country within a country, its own clan law, can be described as daunting."
"And this is not conducive to the rule of the country, in the imperial decrees, these clans will be stable if they obey the order, and if they are violated, they will be chaotic,"
"Therefore, it is imperative to divide the clans."
"I propose that within the nine clans, that is, to establish ancestors by clans, such as my winning clan, fundamentally solve the problem of the clan, with His Majesty as the center, there are nine clans above, nine clans below, and the rest of the clans, give surnames, set up their own ancestral halls to worship, and no longer call them wins."
"And all the clans in the world are divided into clan surnames in this way, and they are the surnames of ten thousand families."
"However, this law violates the virtue of the ancestors, and it is a moral degradation, and the ancestors are not even recognized by the ancestors."
"Therefore, I propose that Your Majesty cast the Qin Ding of the Ten Thousand Families, engrave the surnames of the clans of the world, respect the Ding, worship for the clans of the world, and worship the ancestors of the clans of the world, and worship together with the incense of the world."
"In the past, Xia Yu made nine tripods, for the world's tripods, engraved Kyushu can be a public opinion, since then, the pattern of Kyushu in the world is fixed."
"Today, Your Majesty can also make ten thousand Qin Ding, the ancestral Ding, engraved with the world's ten thousand clans, since then, the world's clan pattern is fixed."
"And the descendants are endless, there must be innumerable, the world is still nine, since my Qin country can be passed on for thousands of generations, cast a tripod to ten thousand, why can't one clan and one tripod."
"In the future, where there is a clan, that is, to cast the tripod into the ancestral tripod, the party is my descendants of Yan and Huang, the people of China, and the people of Qin."
Yingcheng finished speaking loudly.
Be quiet.
Still quiet.
All the important ministers collectively fell silent.
Ren Zuding.
Wanjia Qin Ding.
The implications of this are extraordinary.
Or even say.
This is a supreme way to gather people's hearts.
Li Si's eyes flickered, and he even had a picture in his mind.
The patriarchs of all the ethnic groups in the world stand together under a high platform, under the leadership of His Majesty the First Emperor, and worship the picture of the ancestors.
There are thousands of patriarchs of all ethnic groups, which means that the country is prosperous in humanity.
"This maybe, in one fell swoop, can put an end to the situation of the different hearts of the people of the six countries, and the world respects the ancestors of the people, which means that we were once the same ancestor."
Li Si's heart shook.
looked at Yingcheng in extreme horror.
Pattern!
He thought that the Qin Tomb was already the pinnacle of Yingcheng.
Unexpectedly.
In such a short period of time, Yingcheng actually came up with such a magnificent and incredible plan for eternity.
It's really more human than human, more dead than human.
"Wanjia Qin Ding!"
Fengchang Mansion ordered Zhao Qia to be amazed.
Mastering the matter of the world's temple sacrifices, he knows too well the importance of the ancestral tripod.
The matter of the Jongmyo seems to be insignificant.
But.
The temple is the core thing that truly unites people's hearts and dominates the world.
This is the only way to unite people's hearts.
If you ignore the affairs of the temple, it will be the beginning of moral decay and disorder in the world.
Even he can say with certainty.
The affairs of the temple are the foundation of the society.
The Spring and Autumn Rites are still in existence, but during the Warring States Period, even if the rites were lost, it was only the loss of the rites between the vassal states, and in the vassal states, the temple sacrifice was still indispensable.
This is a guarantee for the stability of a country and the cohesion of the people's hearts.
Look at the strength of a country, and even just look at the country's temple sacrifices.
It has nothing to do with military power.
There is an ancient saying that the hearts of the people are united, and Mount Tai moves.
And the matter of the temple is a symbol of the unity of the people.
The reason why the Qin State was able to dominate the world, in a real sense, was because the Qin State was united, the people were willing to eat bran to nourish the military, and the nobles were willing to give up themselves to strengthen the Qin State, so the Qin State could have the national strength to dominate the world.
"How can this work, no, Renzu Ding can, but it is divided into clans, how can it be!"
However, if Renzu Ding is recognized, the sub-clan may not be recognized, especially Yingfu, after hearing Yingcheng's example, it will not be good in an instant.
What the hell.
If you want to divide the clan and give the surname, then that is to say, you must directly divide the millions of clans in the Qin State.
This is more terrifying than cutting down the Zongzheng Mansion collectively.
The meaning of the existence of the Zongzheng Mansion is to deal with the affairs of the clan, because in the long development of the Qin State for 556 years, the number of the clan has reached millions, and this special force needs to be governed by the Zongzheng Mansion.
Arguably.
Zongzheng Mansion was an independent institution for dealing with minorities under the imperial court.
And if it is divided into clans.
Then these clan forces will all be divided into good people.
Although the important ministers in the Dazheng Palace did not immediately raise objections.
But each mind is also different.
Yingcheng's performance today, the level involved is too large, divided into clans, military dissolution, and abolition of the capital, any of which is no longer a national policy, but has risen to the Wanshi policy.
The impact of each system is extraordinary.
In every system, a lot of good things can be said, and a lot of bad things can be said.
In the end, it doesn't work.
There is no way to tell.
They don't know now.
In the end, whether to implement it or not.
"This matter of abolishing the capital actually makes some sense." Feng Shijie's mind fluttered, because he knew one thing very well.
Today's Deliberations.
If he is the county warden of Mikawa County, he is not eligible to participate.
But.
He was the county warden of Neishi County, but he was eligible to participate.
This is the convenience of the capital.
If this law is to be introduced, he is strongly opposed.
Nonsense.
Once the capital is abolished and the accompanying capital system is implemented, the imperial court will move the court to other counties at will, then even if he Feng Shijie has a relationship, he will only be a county guard.
Where can it be compared to now, it is the patrol envoy, and when the patrol envoy sees him, it is also a courtesy of three points, and his official position seems to be lower than Jiuqing, but in fact, it is Jiuqing.
Even if the internal history was only at the county level before, it was also the Jiuqing position.
This is the advantage of the chief official of the capital.
This is nothing to agree with.
Many important ministers in the entire Dazheng Palace have different thoughts.
The First Emperor was even more expressionless.
But Yingcheng.
But at this time, he took a long breath, no longer looked at the many important ministers, but looked at the First Emperor with heavy eyes.
"Fourth, limit the imperial power!"
"The minister doesn't want to make any exposition here, just mention four words, restricting the imperial power, and only restricting the imperial power is the guarantee of the continuation of the country."
"Minister, the advice is complete!"
Let's talk about it.
Yingcheng knelt on the ground, waiting to receive the punishment.
Hiss!
But Yingcheng's voice did not fall.
Li Si, Feng Quji, Wang Ben, and Meng Yi were all sluggish.
Looked at Yingcheng incredulously.
In a hurry, he also followed Yingcheng, prostrate on the ground, bowed his head, and did not dare to speak loudly.
"I knew it was a madman." Li Si secretly scolded Yingcheng in his heart.
Limiting imperial power?
This kind of thing, I'm afraid that only Yingcheng dares to bring it up in the whole world.
Since the unification of the world, people all over the world, even those Confucian scholars who call themselves gentlemen and gentlemen all day long, have tried their best to strengthen the imperial power with various theologies.
Even though he Li Si is the leader of the Legalist family, he stresses that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, but he has never shown the attitude that His Majesty the First Emperor will investigate if he makes a mistake.
】
The First Emperor was not wrong.
The emperor is not wrong.
Imperial power reigns supreme.
This is an immutable fact.
But now.
"How dare you!"
Li Si was extremely depressed, and he didn't even know whether to scold Yingcheng angrily.
Among these many ministers, it was he Li Si who had the most contact with Yingcheng.
He doesn't know if Yingcheng has anything to do, but don't let people misunderstand, Yingcheng has such an idea because of him Li Si.
He swears.
In the future, you must definitely keep your distance from the madman Yingcheng.
It's horrible.
"Me!" Wang Ben almost dropped his jaw and shook his head.
Although he has not experienced the theory of the destruction of the country when Yingcheng suddenly rose.
But I have also heard a lot, and I know that Yingcheng is bold.
But he really couldn't think of it.
Yingcheng's courage is so big.
Now he was sure of one thing.
Yingcheng really didn't target him!
Accompany the capital system!
Dismantling!
Ren Zuding!
And also...... This limited imperial power.
Any one of them is a shocking thing that cries ghosts and gods.
Against him, it's not even a drizzle.
Risk!
He's really obedient to Yingcheng now.
Following Yingcheng is really a high-risk thing.
Be a little careless.
I don't know what Yingcheng is going to do.
"How dare you limit imperial power!"
There was no sound in the Dazheng Palace, but one by one, the hearts had already set off stormy waves.
And just under everyone's astonishment.
The First Emperor said expressionlessly: "Oh, why don't you say it, how to limit the imperial power, why don't you come and hear it?" ”
But this sentence is spoken.
Li Si, Feng Quji, Wang Ben and many other important ministers, where do they dare to raise their heads again, 7 I can't wait not to hear these four words.
If you curse the dead in your heart, Yingcheng has already been cursed to death by them.
But it was Yingcheng, as if he didn't feel the slightest hint of the volcanic eruption under the immersion of the First Emperor, and continued: "The minister has not yet figured out how to restrict the imperial power, so there are only four words to propose to limit the imperial power. ”
"And restricting imperial power is a thing that must be established for the eternal inheritance of the country."
"The king is strong and the ministers are weak, the upper and lower are centrifuged, the army is weak and the ministers are strong, and the lower is bullied, there is no balance, and the life and death of a country is maintained by the thought of one person, Your Majesty is holy and loved by the subjects, unless Your Majesty can live forever and be immortal, if not."
"In the eight hundred years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there is no need for ministers to repeat it, the sage of the king has geometry, and the sage of the king has geometry, and the courtiers mostly use the faint monarch of other countries to advise their own kings and saints, and the kings mostly take the faint monarchs of other countries as a warning and clear heart."
"However, this is only a personal reason, and my Qin State is the only country standing in this world, and I can't decide the rise or fall of this country because of the king's reason, Your Majesty is the king of Qin, the kings of the past are also the kings of Qin, and the future kings are also the kings of Qin."
"The rise and fall of the king is the rise and fall of the Qin state, the king's stupidity is the weakness of the Qin state, the Xia Dynasty died in the tyranny of Xia Wei, the Yin Shang died in the desolation of the king of Zhou, the son of Zhou Tianzi is weak and the princes are not respected, the stability of the world is maintained by the sage and stupidity of the king, and how to inherit the immortality?"
"But between the monarch and the minister, there is no certainty, if the imperial power is restricted, the courtiers will have the power to the government and the opposition, if the imperial power is supreme, the fate of the country will be handed over to one person, the reason, the minister, can not think of any law that can continue for eternity."
"Therefore, only with these four words, it is explained that the Great Qin needs to limit the imperial power, but how to limit it, the minister does not know the law!"
"The minister believes that as long as it is a unified country, it must be the existence of absolute centralization, and the centralization itself must be attributed to the body of one person, which is an inevitable situation."
"If we centralize power in the midst of centralization, there will inevitably be a situation of separation, and there will be no solution to the eternal problem!"
