Chapter 485: The Storm Will Rise

Wang Juan's eyes were like torches, staring at Zhao Tuo.

The eyes of the doctors were full of expectation, and they were all waiting for the response of the young man whom the emperor trusted most.

They are very confident and believe that Zhao Tuo will definitely agree.

Didn't you see the eldest in front of you, her face was already slightly red with excitement, and her expression was different?

He must have been thrilled and excited by the moment.

Once the Qin State reopened the feudal system, according to the rules of the three generations, in addition to the emperor dividing the princes to become princes in various places, Zhao Tuo's meritorious heroes and nobles are also indispensable.

Seal the land and establish a state, and become the king of a country.

Who can resist such a big temptation?

However, to their surprise, the rosy on Zhao Tuo's face quickly disappeared, and his complexion returned to calm.

Zhao Tuo looked directly at Wang Juan and said coldly, "Prime Minister, do you remember what I said to Jinshang in the palace six years ago?"

The doctors were stunned.

Six years ago?

What did Zhao Tuo say to the emperor?

Could it be related to what they call separation?

These doctors were all newly recruited learned people from the princes' hometowns, and they naturally didn't know about what happened in the main hall of the Qin Palace a few years ago.

Wang Juan's face changed.

Six years ago, above the main hall of the Qin Palace.

Wasn't that the time when Jing Ke assassinated Qin?

Zhao Tuo said in a deep voice: "Zhao Tuo has never forgotten the words of the past, and he should be consistent. At today's banquet, I was invited by the prime minister, but I suddenly felt unwell, so I took my leave first, and the prime minister and the princes should not send it."

As he spoke, Zhao Tuo straightened up, arched his hand to Wang Juan on the main seat, turned around and strode out.

"Chief, Chief!"

Wang He, who was sitting with him, shouted and hurriedly followed, trying to redeem himself.

Zhao Tuo ignored them and left straight out of the house.

"The shaft is very rude!"

Seeing Zhao Tuo suddenly brushing his sleeves and leaving, his back disappearing outside the door, Chun Yuyue couldn't help but scold angrily.

Compared to Chun Yuyue's anger, Zhou Qingchen saw Wang Xuan's strange expression, and couldn't help asking, "Prime Minister, I don't know what this chief just said about what happened six years ago, what does it mean? What did he say then?"

Wang Juan's face was cloudy, but he shook his head in the face of inquiry.

The current emperor has issued a strict decree that no one should divulge what happened.

Once the matter leaks out, it will be severely punished.

So after so many years, the world only knows that the person who stopped Jing Ke from assassinating Qin is Gao Tuo, but they don't know that Zhao Tuo and Gao Tuo are the same person.

Qin's law is harsh, and he Wang Juan doesn't want to defy the law.

He originally thought that Zhao Tuo's words of "the world" in the past were just to survive in death, deliberately currying favor with the emperor and finding a righteous and awe-inspiring reason for what he did.

Now Zhao Tuo's status is completely different from that of the assassin's deputy envoy in the past.

Once the emperor was persuaded to implement the division of the feudal system in Great Qin, in Wang Juan's view, it would not only help the empire stabilize the world more quickly, help Confucianism achieve the goal of restoring the government of the Zhou Dynasty, but also allow Zhao Tuo to get practical benefits in it.

It's a triple-win.

That's why they want to win over Zhao Tuo to make suggestions together, after all, this eldest concubine is quite favored by the emperor, and he blocked Li Si's proposal to kill the king of Qi in one sentence before, as long as Zhao Tuo speaks, the emperor will definitely consider it more, and it may not be possible to break the territory for him.

This is also an important reason why they invited Zhao Tuo to join the gang.

Who knows that this is the result in the end.

"Maybe this son wants to maintain the image he showed back then, so he doesn't want to make suggestions with us. However, the matter of dividing the seal is very good for my Qin State to stabilize the frontier, and it is also more beneficial than disadvantageous to him Zhao Tuo, even if he disagrees on the face, he should not oppose it in his heart. Most of them will choose to remain silent in order to avoid suspicion, just like the Wang and Meng families."

Wang Juan thought in his heart, he still didn't believe that young man could refuse the temptation of fiefdom and build a state, that was what many people dreamed of.

He turned to Zhou Qingchen, Chun Yuyue and the others and said, "Since the eldest chief is unwilling to make suggestions with us, then it doesn't matter."

"Now the Xin family, the Yang family, the Sima family, and most of the ministers in the court and the central government support our proposal, and our supporters are very numerous.

[In view of the general environment,

……

The night will be dark, in the Li family's house.

Li Yuxing rushed into the house and shouted, "Father, that Zhao Tuo was invited to the mansion for a banquet by Wang Juan, I'm afraid he wants to follow them to participate in the division of the seal!"

Li Si was sitting in front of the couch at the moment and looking at Jian Mu.

At the beginning of the empire, there were many things, and he, the court captain, was naturally busy from morning to night all day, and it was rare to have a moment of rest.

"You sent someone to keep an eye on the chief?"

Hearing his son's words, Li Si put down the slip in his hand and asked with a frown.

Li Yu's face froze: "Zhao Tuo is in the limelight now, and he has a gap with my Li family, so I have some attention to him. There is also that Wang Juan, who has always been at odds with his father, and now he is moving around with that group of Confucian scholars, preaching the matter of dividing the feuds, and I also pay more attention to him, so I only know about Wang Juan's invitation to Zhao Tuo to the banquet today."

"Don't let people do such things again, send people to spy on the minister, once it happens, do you know what the sin is? In addition, how can you call the eldest chief and the prime minister Zuo by their names!"

Li Si glared at his son, and his voice was very stern.

Li Yu said, "Father said yes. However, tomorrow is the Great Dynasty Meeting, and since the chief of the Great Mansions agrees with Prime Minister Zuo's policy of dividing the feuds, maybe they will suggest to the present that the system of sub-feuding should be implemented in the world. The one who divides the seal, the enemy of my Dharma family, my father should be careful."

Li Si asked, "How do you think that the chief of the great concubine agrees with the policy of dividing the feuds?"

"In addition to the Wang family, the court has the greatest merit with the chief of the great house, and if the world is divided now, the chief of the great lord will definitely be able to get the honor of splitting the earth and be the king of one land. How could he disagree with such a big benefit?"

Li Yu said with some jealousy.

Li Si shook his head slightly.

What Li Yu said made sense, but he Li Si didn't believe that Zhao Tuo would agree to Wang Juan and others' proposal to divide the feud.

When the name of the emperor appeared in his mind, the scene where this son threw out the name of "emperor" and won the emperor's great joy.

The Emperor's Heart.

Doesn't Zhao Tuo understand?

"Go down." Lees waved his hand.

"Yui."

Li Yu retreated disappointed, he was still full of joy, thinking that this news could be rewarded by his father.

However, before he could take two steps, Li Si stopped him again.

"I told you before, now that my Li clan is in a major event, you should be cautious in your words and deeds, you act impulsively and ignore the overall situation, and you are so bold as to send someone to spy on the ministers and nobles, and you want to harm my Li clan when you behave like this? Starting today, you will study the scriptures and read through the books of the sages until I agree, and you will not be allowed to leave the house, do you hear me?"

Li Si spoke sharply, making Li Yu tremble, and nodded hurriedly.

Look at the back of my son's vanishing appearance.

Lees's eyes narrowed.

"Zhao Tuo knows the heart of Jinshang, and he will definitely not agree to divide the seal, so he is my ally. I should join forces with him and take down Wang Juan and those Confucian scholars first."

……

The carriage arrived at his mansion, and Zhao Tuo got out of the car with an ugly face.

"Wang Juan, this old horseman, actually wants to pull me into the water and persuade the emperor to divide the seal with them, isn't this looking for death and pulling me on my back?"

"In the entire Qin State court, everyone can speak and be sealed, but only I, Zhao Tuo, cannot. If I open this seal, not only will I stand opposite the emperor, but I will also change back to the original after years of hard work and war to unify the world

Isn't the battle of the past few years in vain, and the soldiers who died for this have all died in vain?"

Zhao Tuo was very angry.

He hasn't scolded anyone for a few years, and today he couldn't help but scold Wang Juan and the group of Confucian students in his heart.

Scolding to scolding.

However, he also knew in his heart that the sub-feudal system that Wang Juan said was not without merit.

The division that Wang Juan and the group of Confucian scholars said was not simply like the Zhou Dynasty, which divided the territory of the world to the sons and heroes.

Instead, the place that was originally digested by the Qin State remained unchanged, and it was still a county directly under the imperial court.

It was just to divide the newly conquered Chu, Yue, Yanqi and other remote and remote places, and each place was governed according to customs, and each country made corresponding laws to rule the local people as soon as possible, which to some extent contributed to the rapid stability of the Qin Empire.

That is, the parallel system of counties and states that was implemented in the later Han Dynasty.

With today's productive forces, transportation conditions and other factors, this system does have certain benefits for sitting on the country, if Qin implements it, it may be able to change the outcome of the death of the second to a certain extent.

But what about the back?

Zhao Tuo's mind flashed through various events such as the "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms" and the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings".

His eyes became firm again.

History has proved that the parallel system of counties and states is also a big tail in the later period, and it is not a real solution to the problem.

Not to mention, what the emperor thinks in his heart, he Zhao Tuo is very clear.

"Tomorrow is the great court meeting after the world's big drink, and Wang Juan and others are likely to propose a split at tomorrow's big court meeting. It would be fine if I hadn't gone to his mansion for the banquet, but now that I've been to his mansion, I'm suspicious. Tomorrow he only needs to propose to the emperor about dividing the feud, and I will be the first to stand up against it."

"Be firm in your attitude and clear in your banner!"

Zhao Tuo whispered in his heart.

Then he turned to the attendant who was accompanying him and said, "Send someone to invite Mr. Li to come to my house, by the way, and please come to the middle school as well."

"Yui."

The attendant immediately received the order, and soon went out to invite Lishiqi and Shiruma.

"The chief called me late at night, what was the urgency?"

As soon as Li Shiqi entered the mansion, he saw Zhao Tuo's solemn expression and hurriedly asked.

Shiruma also looked worried.

He hadn't seen Zhao Tuo like this for a long time.

"There may be something big going on at the court meeting tomorrow, so I should discuss it with my husband."

Zhao Tuo invited the two into the house for a secret conversation.

In order to debate and persuade people, people like Lishi often read many books and learned all kinds of allusions.

He wanted to ask Lishiqi about some knowledge about feudalism and counties, as well as learn the art of eloquence.

As for Shibu, it is because he also has the qualifications to participate in politics.

Therefore, Zhao Tuo must ventilate with him in advance, so as not to be tempted by the benefits of separation, and stand on the wrong team, then it will be over.

At the moment of such a major event, Zhao Tuo was very solemn, and discussed with the two until midnight, and then he barely slept for a while.

The next day, when the sun was about to dawn, there was a rooster crowing outside the house.

Zhao Tuo opened his eyes.

Walk out of the house and watch the morning light on the horizon.

He knew that today would be a day that would go down in history.
