Chapter 624: King Zhao's Precedent
The First Emperor is digging the foundation of the Qin State by himself! This was the first thought in Zhao Tuo's mind.
And I believe he is not the only one who thinks so. Didn't you see the faces of Taiwei Wang Ben and General Meng Wu and others, all changed?
Even in the court of the Qin State, the generals who belonged to the military merit group all had a blue face.
As for the civil officials, there are also many people who have unsightly faces, and they can naturally see the harm of this edict.
However, due to the emperor's authority, which has been strengthened more and more after the unification, no one has spoken for the time being, and a pair of eyes have all fallen on the martial arts marquis Zhao Tuo and Taiwei Wang Ben, who are in the forefront of the military attaché.
After Wang Jian retired, the generals of the Qin State took Zhao Tuo, the martial arts marquis, as the pillar, and Wang Ben, the Taiwei, was the façade.
Zhao Tuo felt those expectant eyes, and he naturally had objections to the emperor's decision to bestow the knighthood, but fortunately, there was still reason, and Zhao Tuo was not the first to stand up and oppose it.
The First Emperor sat low on the emperor's couch with a fierce face. The generals are not easy to keep silent.
The binding of military merit and the Legalist system is a magic weapon for the Qin State to be small and weak, if that aspect is moved, it will cause considerable damage, and I should stand up for the same person. Those two small-scale knighthoods were not for any reason.
Sure enough, in the eyes of the emperor. No one stepped forward.
The father and son of the Wang family talk about a stable word and never take the initiative to take the lead.
Lis's gaze glanced to the side.
Qin Zishang Jun changed the law to the same person, and the same person was mainly based on military merits. Even if a civilian official is knighted, he must make a meritorious service or put forward a plan for governing the country that is useless to the country.
Under the court, there are always ministers who lack advice.
"In the past, the ancestor King Zhaoxiang has no precedent for not giving knights for military merits."
Lord Lieutenant Zhao Hai was eighty years old, full of white hair, low and strong, and full of temperament when he spoke, and stood up at this moment and spoke in a low voice, questioning the emperor politely.
At this moment, facing Zhao Hai's questioning.
Facing Zhao Hai's words, the emperor spoke lightly.
As the saying goes, the first to stand up and collide is not a good thing. ap.
On the other side, the left prime minister in the civil official column is still looking at his nose and nose, pretending to have that thing. I'm the same, and no one will speak.
My eyes swept across the hall, and I suspected that there was someone flattering the Holy Will under the entire court.
The first time was in the seventy-first year of King Zhaoxiang (286 BC), when the Qin general Sima mistakenly attacked Hanoi.
Wang Ben followed everyone to look at Zhao Hai and nodded slightly.
But just now because of my son's award, I almost became a joke, and it was appropriate to stand up at that time. Moreover, I served the emperor as a young man, and I was very vague about the emperor's character, so Li Si also held back.
Although I had some conflicts with these Confucian scholars because of the subsequent division of the seal and the paper-making incident, after all, I was close to Confucianism, and I occasionally treated the tiger-wolf-like military merit system of the Qin State too much, and felt that it was the government of the king, and today the emperor messed around with himself, so I have no reason to stand up.
If King Zhaoxiang was the first to start, the first emperor would be so reasonable.
Zhao Hai was an old minister in the era of King Zhaoxiang, and I personally experienced it when I was knighted on a small scale for the seventh time, and now when I saw the first emperor move out of that example, I immediately blew my beard and glared.
I raised my head and said, "Your Majesty's words about King Zhaoxiang giving the people the title are for the sake of the war situation, and it is not beneficial to the country. Moreover, the matter of giving the people a lord at the beginning was limited to the Qianshou who moved to Zhao Tuo, as well as the people of Hanoi, and the number of people was actually unlimited. An is not like His Majesty today, giving the heavenly people a first-level thing! The minister thinks that this matter is not yet appropriate, and I ask Your Majesty to consider it again!"
So I am indeed the least qualified person in the court to say "yes".
The Wei state was frightened and offered Zhao Tuo to the Qin state, and the Qin state expelled the inhabitants of the city, leaving only one empty city. However, before the Qin State recruited people in the local area and pardoned the criminals to move to Chengzhuang, the conditions given by the government, except that the criminals could not be exempted, and the Qianshou who was willing to move Zhao Tuo could not be given a knighthood.
It's a pity that Wang Ben's personality is a bit like Wang Qian, his lips moved, and he didn't speak.
Yu Shi Xiaofu Feng Zao's eyelids jumped,
Seeing that there was movement on the right and left prime ministers, he stabilized his footsteps.
Zhao Hai is a courtier of the Zhaoxiang King era, after the Zhaoxiang King, the Xiaowen King, the Zhuangxiang King, and now the first emperor, the old minister of the seven dynasties, serving the Qin Jun for nearly 70 years, the title has been accumulated to the small chief, the old qualifications, someone in the court can be out of its right and left.
After a little thought, Wang Ben knew what the emperor was talking about.
King Qin Zhaoxiang gave the title of people on a small scale twice, although it was given because of military merits, but it had nothing to do with the war situation, and there were no minor side effects.
The first time was to recruit people to occupy Zhao Tuo, who was newly occupied, to weaken the control of the Qin State there, and in order to allow the head of the Qian to leave his hometown willingly and settle in a foreign country, the Qin State government naturally had to pay some price. The best bird for me.
Not to mention that Zhao Hai is still the lieutenant of the lord, and it is the matter of the title reward that he manages, and the emperor's decree is my duty, once the matter of the knighthood is implemented, the whole process is under Zhao Hai's control.
Zhao Tuo's gaze fell on Wang Ben's resolute face.
As soon as the words came out, everyone's faces changed slightly.
There has never been a knighthood for a small scale of non-military merits for special Qianshou.
As for Tingwei Li Si, his brows furrowed the deepest, I am the head of the Legalist family of the Qin State.
Since Zhao Tuo failed to admonish Li Xin outside Pingyu City, he has become more and more cautious about such things.
I'm young, less is like more, occupy the position of the left prime minister, as long as I am safe and rest, I will be satisfied.
I had not prepared for the minister's admonition, and I did not have the logic and corresponding consideration of my own actions.
Sure enough, in the face of the emperor's words, among the ministers, a small and burly woman stood up on the spot.
The seventh time was to boost morale at the most critical time of the Battle of Changping, and recruit young people to support the battlefield.
In addition, Zhao Hai has a loyal and upright personality, and his reputation is extremely bad, and he is so young as a lieutenant that someone has never said that I am a duke. As long as Zhao Hai is engaged in rebellion or something, even if I blow my nose and glare at the emperor, the emperor will laugh too much, and he will blame him too much.
The two bigwigs, Wugong Hou and Taiwei, did not speak.
But after all, it followed the principle that only those who have no merit can be knighted, and it was also a small-scale knighthood given to the people, which set a very bad precedent, and now it has become an example cited by the First Emperor.
The seventh small-scale knighthood was in the seventy-first year of King Zhaoxiang (260 years later), when the Qin general Bai Qi retreated to attack Changping.
At this time, the entire Battle of Changping reached the most peaceful period, and King Qin Zhaoxiang personally came to Hanoi in order to boost morale, gave each rank of the title of the head of Qian, and at the same time recruited young and middle-aged women under the age of 17 to go to the Changping battlefield.
"The death of the minister Zhao Hai to play His Majesty, and now His Majesty is in one room, stepping on Hu Yi, it is really an eternal small achievement, and it is worth celebrating. However, His Majesty is drunk in the sky, and the people can be celebrated by giving the people cow wine, why use it to give each other! His Majesty's practice is contrary to the system of meritorious service and worship of the lord in the past!"
The right prime minister, Wang Juan, is young and weak, and he has not retreated from everything, but my eyes narrowed, and I also spoke. The First Emperor smiled passionately.
Consider?
Sure enough, the matter of admonishment still depends on our old ministers of the Qin State.
Until the time of King Zhaoxiang, there were two small-scale non-military merit awards.
It was not the two small-scale non-military merit titles given to the people in the era of King Zhaoxiang of Qin.
He'll have to see what happens.
