"The minister thinks that what the Lord Lieutenant said is really a roundabout statement!"

This person's voice was low, and the target in his words was directly at the Lord Lieutenant Zhao Hai.

Zhao Tuo looked for prestige and found that the person who spoke was Wang Wu, one of the Nine Qings.

Zhao Hai also heard this, turned his head to stare at Wang Wu, and said coldly: "The old man is broad? Hehe, then I want to listen to the history of the king's inner history, what can I say. ”

Wang Wu's face was calm, since he stood up, there was no turning back.

When he saw the emperor on the emperor's couch smiling at him, he suddenly felt relieved.

The Emperor is encouraging him!

What if Zhao Hai is an old minister of the Four Dynasties.

Wang Wu knew very well that the Qin State was the emperor's Qin State.

If you want to climb to the top in this country, you must not only be able to do things, but also be favored by the emperor.

Now that the right prime minister is old, it will only be a few years since he retired.

When the situation recedes, whether it is the left prime minister Wang Juan ascending to the throne, or the imperial historian Feng Zai ascending, the two of them will always have to vacate a position. And that position, generally choose from Jiuqing.

He Wang Wu expressed his loyalty to the emperor today, and when he chooses in the future, will the emperor consider him more?

After a little calculation in his heart, Wang Wu did not hesitate any longer, and said directly: "What the Lord Lieutenant said in the past that King Zhaoxiang gave the people two times without meritorious service, it was for state affairs, which is true. However, the emperor gave the title of the head of the world this time, why not for the sake of state affairs? ”

Zhao Hai snorted coldly: "The emperor obviously gave the people the title to celebrate his merits, so how can he talk about state affairs?" ”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces were different.

Directly saying such offensive words in front of the emperor, Zhao Hai is probably the only one in the court who dares to do this.

The First Emperor smiled and said nothing.

Wang Wu shook his head and said, "This is the truth I just said that what the Lord Lieutenant said is really broad. In the past, when the king of Zhaoxiang was in the past, the seven kingdoms of the world were fighting, and my Great Qin wanted to go east and merge the world, so there were people recruited to go to Anyi to give the knight, and there was also the knight Hanoi Qianshou for the battle of Changping, which was the king of Zhaoxiang for the sake of state affairs, and broke the rule that non-meritorious service is not allowed to worship the lord. ”

Wang Wu's voice suddenly raised, and he raised his voice: "The so-called time has changed, and now the emperor is Shenwu, and within one universe, the six kingdoms will be annihilated, and there will be no more war in Zhuxia." However, although the princes are extinct, their remnants are still there, and many Qiantou are afraid of our Qin law and have the heart of the six kingdoms, so this situation will damage the stability of our Great Qin in the homeland of the princes. ”

"Therefore, the emperor gave the world the title of the first class of Qianshou this time, not only to celebrate my great Qin great martial arts, to raise the authority of the emperor, and to make all the people happy. It is also for the sake of virtue and the hearts of the people of the world! ”

Wang Wu said more and more fluently, and said excitedly: "If the emperor bestows the knighthood, all the people will worship and enjoy the glory and practical benefits, how can they miss the thoughts of the mediocre lords of the six countries." In this way, all the people in the world return to their hearts, and the princes are stable, so that my Great Qin State Zuo Yongchang is really a matter of giving a lord and getting ten thousand benefits, isn't it a national matter? ”

There was silence in the hall, and even Zhao Hai was silent.

Although the Qin State destroyed the Six Kingdoms, the time of annexation was too fast, and he almost became a big fat man in one bite.

As a result, there was a serious shortage of Qin officials, even if Zhao Tuo took precautions and put forward a proposal to expand the number of children in the school. But how can the cultivation of officials be so fast?

From the son of a nobleman who is illiterate or knows a little bit of writing, to a clerk who is proficient in the law and has passed the examination, it is impossible to learn it in a few years.

Therefore, in a short period of time, it is impossible for the number of Qin officials to cover the entire 36 counties under heaven, and many places still have to rely on local people, which leads to the weak control of Qin over the hometowns of the princes.

In addition, the Qin law is strict, and the common people of the Qianshou in the hometown of the princes are accustomed to the free and casual life of the Six Kingdoms, and they are suddenly incorporated into the Qin law system, and everything they do must be controlled by the law.

The nobles and powerful people in various places can also rely on their wealth and connections to get away with their crimes, but the common people of Qianshou have to obediently admit their crimes when they break the law.

In this case, it is natural that the people are resentful, and some people even miss the free life of the Six Kingdoms era.

These things were reported to Xianyang by the county guards and supervisors in various places, and all the ministers knew about it.

Now that Wang Wu has connected the emperor's knighthood with these things, at first glance, it does make some sense.

Give the world the title of the first level of Qian, show the emperor's kindness, in exchange for their return?

Buy the hearts and minds of the people!

If it can really be done, with the first-class title, it will be able to settle down the Qianshou, reduce their grievances, and contribute to the rule of Great Qin, which is not impossible.

All the ministers, including Li Si, are thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

Qin was the first great unified dynasty, and it was the first time that the world was ruled directly by the same imperial court.

These meat eaters in the court do not have the case of the ancient great unified dynasty to learn from, and they have to grope their way forward in everything, cross the river by feeling the stones, and it is difficult to know the consequences no matter what policies are implemented.

In the face of Wang Wu's words, they had to consider and weigh them.

Seeing that Zhao Hai was silent by himself, Wang Wu was proud in his heart, he felt that he had found a "righteous" reason to endorse the emperor, and the emperor would definitely be happy, right?

He quietly glanced at the emperor on the emperor's couch, and saw that his expression was indifferent, and he was noncommittal about it, but the smile on the corner of his mouth still encouraged Wang Wu, and he felt that what he just said was really good, and he would definitely be in the emperor's heart in the future.

The first in the list of military generals, Zhao Tuo, the marquis of martial arts, watched coldly.

He looked at the First Emperor on the emperor's couch.

Except for the faint smile on the corner of his mouth, the emperor has always been calm, making it impossible to see what he is really thinking in his heart.

Buying the hearts of the people with a knighthood and stabilizing the rule, is that really what you mean?

Zhao Tuo sighed in his heart.

Li Si, Zhao Hai, Wang Juan and others don't know whether it is useful for Cijue to buy the hearts of the people, so they still need to think about it.

But Zhao Tuo, as a latecomer, knows it clearly.

Bestow?

There's a bird for it!

The historical Qin Dynasty only existed for fourteen years before it was overthrown with a bang.

There were many reasons for the demise of Qin, from the rulers, to the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, to the system of the entire country, all of which had various problems.

How can it be changed by giving the world the first level of knighthood?

Naive!

As long as your emperor continues to build palaces, continues to recruit conscripts to repair the Lishan Mausoleum, and keeps fighting, and even attacks Baiyue in the south, the will of the people of Daqin will collapse sooner or later.

This knighthood level is of no use at all for a truly stable country, except for asking the leaders of the Qians to say a word of the emperor's holy virtue at that time.

It's a bit like drinking water to quench your thirst.

In Zhao Tuo's view, once this title is given, not only will there be no benefits, but there will be a lot of disadvantages.

The first of these is that the fighting spirit of the entire Qin army will be affected.

The soldiers are all full of energy, ready to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and you suddenly give the head of the whole world a knighthood, so what kind of strength is there to fight.

Isn't it better to stay at home and move up the next level than to go to the battlefield and risk your life?

Zhao Tuo shook his head and glanced at Wang Ben beside him.

The lord and lieutenant are all on top, and it's time for you to take the lead.

I saw that the imperial lieutenant took a deep breath and finally stood up.

Wang Ben was to perform the duties of the imperial lieutenant and state the disadvantages that this edict had brought to the entire military merit system and the army.

"The minister and the king died to play Your Majesty, and the king's internal history said that the knighthood can win the hearts of the people in the world, and the minister dare not say much."

"Ranchen is a lieutenant, in charge of military affairs, and knows the incentive effect of the title system on the soldiers, and my Great Qin soldiers are fighting for meritorious service. At that time, Shang Jun was based on military merit and worship the lord system, so that my Qin people were like tigers and wolves, good at fighting and fighting, so they could go east in one fell swoop and conquer the six countries. ”

"Now Your Majesty has given the world the title of the head of Qian, let's not say whether it can be returned, but this kind of practice will definitely wear down the hearts of the soldiers to fight on the battlefield, ruin the combat power of our Great Qin army, and destroy the military merit system from now on!"

"As soon as this case is opened, the title will definitely tend to be indiscriminate!"
