Chapter 358: Position

When everyone arrived, the First Emperor signaled to the chamberlain beside him and handed the urgent letter sent by Zhao Ying to everyone.

"This is a letter sent to me by the emperor's eldest grandson, you might as well take a look at it first......"

Epistle?

Everyone, quite tacitly, did not say a word, and silently accepted this "letter" written by His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun to His Majesty. Since it is an "epistle", it is different from a "song".

The former is just a private exchange and discussion between the ancestors and grandchildren, no matter whether the matter is successful or not, it is limited to the grandchildren and has nothing to do with political opinions, while the latter is a very serious discussion between the monarch and the minister, representing the position of the emperor's eldest grandson.

Now that Zhao Ying has such a status, his every move, word and deed no longer represents more than himself.

If there is a disagreement with the opinion of the First Emperor on something, it will inevitably cause an uproar.

Of course, it would be another matter for the First Emperor to take out the "letters" written to him by his grandson and let everyone read them. For this point, probably except for the three newcomers in the cabinet, Wang Jian and others are well aware.

The eldest grandson of the emperor, who was still immature at the beginning, has unconsciously grown to such a point.

Wang Jian held the letter and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but then he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, and then glanced at His Majesty the First Emperor sitting on it without a trace.

I didn't see any clues, so I forcibly reined in my thoughts, looked at this "letter" carefully, and finally understood why His Majesty specially summoned these old ministers to come over and read this letter together.

Because, this letter raised an unprecedented topic, and it was very easy for the first emperor to be sensitive.

He actually wanted to abolish Nanjun and Hengshan County as Gangneung Mansion!

Governance for Gangneung!

and whimsically set up Xiong Xin, a descendant of King Chu Huai, as the governor of Jiangling Prefecture. It's just that this metropolitan governor only has a name and no real power, not only all the important military and political affairs in the palace belong to the chief of the palace and Sima, but even he himself has to be controlled and supervised by the imperial history of the palace.

The eldest grandson of the emperor, this is to borrow the name of Xiong Xin, a descendant of King Chu Huai, to appease the people of Chu.

It has to be said that this is an extremely bold idea and an extremely risky proposal.

Everyone knows the determination of the First Emperor to implement the county system, and they also know the price paid by the First Emperor to implement the county system.

Now, he, the eldest grandson of the emperor who values him the most, has actually proposed to change this system in the Nanjun area. Although it is only a corner of the place, and it still bears the name of trial implementation, who dares to guarantee that this kind of trial will not become the norm in the future and replace the county system that has just been established?

To put it mildly, this is called a bold attempt, and to put it mildly, it is shaking the political system!

"How-"

The First Emperor looked calmly at the groaning crowd.

"What do you think of the emperor's eldest grandson's suggestion......

Before the First Emperor's words fell, Li Si had already stepped out, with a solemn expression.

"Your Majesty, by all means, if it has not been established for a long time, the county system is the foundation of the imperial court, and it is beneficial to push administrative orders to the imperial court, control the localities, restrict the expansion of the wealthy clans, infringe on the people, and hinder the local government."

Speaking of this, Li Si once again bowed deeply to the First Emperor.

"Your Majesty, it is a taboo for the court to change the order every day, not to mention, the descendants of King Lichu today, how do you know that there will be no descendants of King Qi in the future? Now Chu has a mansion, and in the land of Wei and Zhao in Japan, Han Yan's belonging, how about waiting? If the heirs of each country are established, what is the difference between the situation of the division of the six countries after a long time? ”

Speaking of this, Li Si's voice became more and more sincere.

"Your Majesty, the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in the anthill, and once this opening is opened, there will be endless troubles......"

The First Emperor bowed slightly, and then looked at Feng Quji, who was silent on the side.

Feng Quji secretly complained in his heart.

He never expected that such a smart imperial grandson would ask such a thorny question so recklessly this time. But he is different from Li Si, he is a person who has already laid out the carriage and horses, and stands on the platform of the emperor's eldest grandson, and his grandson-in-law is also the emperor's eldest grandson's descendant. At this time, if you take the lead in opposing the proposal of the emperor's eldest grandson......

He sighed secretly in his heart, stood up, and bowed.

The old minister thought that Li Xiang's words were a bit excessive. His Royal Highness's words, although they seem bold and whimsical, may not be a good move to stabilize the land. When His Majesty encompassed the four seas in the past, the war with Chu was the most tragic, and the people of Chu were the most hostile to the rule of our Great Qin, if they could really recruit the king of Chu and Xiong Xin, set up as the governor of the capital, and make him the nominal supreme governor of Chu, all the decrees were under the banner of the descendants of the king of Chu, then the people of Chu would inevitably be attached to ......"

Speaking of this, Feng Qujian bowed again.

"In this way, within ten years, the people of Chu are expected to be stable......"

Looking at Feng Quji, who was talking eloquently, Li Si couldn't help frowning slightly, and subconsciously glanced at this right phase who always likes to go against himself recently.

He didn't believe it, Feng Qujian couldn't see the aftermath of His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson's proposal!

However, he saw that the First Emperor still nodded calmly, without any expression, and he was familiar with the habits of the First Emperor, and his heart couldn't help but sink.

The First Emperor looked at Tai Weiyi.

Taiwei pondered for a moment, and then said seriously.

"The policy of the emperor's eldest grandson is not necessarily different from the county system, although the name has changed, but the essence is the same, in addition to the addition of a nominal metropolitan governor, there is still a separation of military and government, the so-called long history, can be regarded as a county guard, the so-called Sima, can be regarded as a county lieutenant, and has not shaken the foundation of the county system......"

When the First Emperor heard this, a trace of emotion finally appeared on his face.

Wei Yizi continued as he spoke, considering his words.

"But it can be used to dispel the resentment of the people in Chudi and stabilize the hearts of the local people, if it is limited to one place, it may not be a feasible strategy......

Seeing that the First Emperor looked at him, Wang Jian bowed down and said.

"Inevitably, if you are worried that it will take the opportunity to become bigger and harm the place, you might as well let it learn from the emperor's eldest grandson ......"

When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and raised his eyebrows.

"What do you mean by that?"

Wang Jian said.

"Your Majesty may be able to give him the mansion and land in Xianyang, so that he can take the post of governor of Jiangling like the emperor's eldest grandson......"

In the era of the first emperor, there was no tradition of remote collaring, and the only precedent was Zhao Ying. To this day, he still bears the name of the county guard of Hexi County, although he has never returned to the fiefdom since he came back.

Fortunately, it was him, otherwise, if it were someone else, he would have been impeached into a hornet's nest.

When the First Emperor heard Wang Qian's words, his eyes couldn't help but light up!

Meng Yi, who had been silent, suddenly stood up and bowed.

"Your Majesty, if you are interested in experimenting with the suggestion of His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, you may wish to include Changsha, Jiujiang and other counties......"

The First Emperor nodded slightly.

"Good!"

Reese:......

He looked at Feng Quji, who had no position, and then at Tai Wei and Wang Jian who were there with the old god, and Meng Yi, who was silent, and suddenly felt as if he was isolated......

He naturally knew that the first emperor favored the emperor's eldest grandson.

also knows that His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun is showing favor to himself, after all, his own son can serve as the county guard of Huiji County, which is the recommendation of His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, but the problem is that he is not Feng Quji, an old fox who has no position, and there is no way to compare with Wang Qian, an old man, Wang Jian is not only the teacher of the art of war of His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, but also the in-law of the Emperor Eldest Sun, who can show the carriage and horses and support the Emperor Eldest Sun openly.

He is Li Si, the speaker of the current Legalist in the court.

The emperor's eldest grandson's proposal today is clearly shaking the foundation of the county system, and as the main promoter and practitioner of the county system, as well as the defender of the Legalist system, he cannot but express this attitude.

Otherwise, you are giving up on your roots.

"You three, you might as well talk about it - it doesn't hurt to be blunt, you are the cabinet, and you are only responsible to me, and you don't need to consider anyone's opinion......"

Meng Yi retreated, and the First Emperor set his eyes on Li Chen, Xu Zhi and Zhuo Yi, and he wanted to know what the attitude of the three young people picked out by his grandson on this issue.

"I have heard that the world is impermanent, time changes, and the holy monarch can always formulate the most suitable policy to appease the people according to the situation and local conditions, rather than being confined to the specific policy situation. His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun is able to formulate the most appropriate policies according to the local situation, and his boldness is far beyond ordinary people......"

What the First Emperor didn't expect was that this time, it was Li Chen who took the lead and clearly stated his views.

Xu Zhi glanced at it, stood there, looked a little lonely Li Si, sighed lightly in his heart, and said hard.

"The minister thinks that the government of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson of the emperor may be able to reap miraculous effects......"

It's good that he's a disciple of Li Si, and it's not bad that he adheres to the philosophy of Legalism, but he's not stupid.

He can come to this day and become the first cabinet of Great Qin, and he is qualified to help His Majesty vote for the draft, all of which are recommended by His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson, without the Emperor Grandson, there would be no his present, no Emperor Grandson, and no future for him.

Seeing the First Emperor's gaze, Zhuo Yi got up and said.

"The government of the emperor's eldest grandson will be able to appease the people, gather the hearts of the people, the people have no disputes, and there is no resentment in their hearts, then they can be the king, but the farmers can be mulberry, so, it can be described as benevolent ......"

Hearing the statements of the three people, the First Emperor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his eyes.

Li Chen, Xu Zhi and Zhuo Yi's answers made him very satisfied.

In his opinion, as a spare talent selected by his eldest grandson, it doesn't matter what else matters, whether he can get in tune with his grandson and keep up with his grandson's ideas is the most important premise.

These three people can almost really be cultivated.

Li Chen, Xu Zhi and Zhuo Yi don't know what an important test they have just experienced. One thought of heaven, one thought of hell.

……

For the officials of South County, these days have been very difficult.

Because, His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, the governor of the Jiangnan counties, who originally said that he would leave when the ship and grain and grass arrived, suddenly stayed and did not leave.

Let these officials in Nanjun go up and down, and everyone can't help but worry.

After all, who is not afraid of such a powerful master who can control his life and death?

That's the governor of the Jiangnan counties!

The county guard Ji Mu came over every day to ask for peace, pulled Zhao Ying, and knocked on the side, wanting to know, what does His Royal Highness the eldest grandson mean? However, Zhao Ying didn't get a reply from the First Emperor, where would he tell him this?

I could only talk about him every day, but then I was annoyed by the nagging, so I simply pulled Ji Mu and began to run to the countryside to investigate the local customs and customs, as well as the promotion of Zhancheng rice in various places.

Unlike Nanyang County, the grain seeds obtained here were relatively early, and most of them were planted on time, but to Zhao Ying's surprise, despite this, the people here were not actively planted.

The people of Chu generally don't trust the Great Qin government very much.

“…… Ahem, Your Highness, don't blame, the people of the countryside are ignorant and ignorant, when these rice are harvested next year, they will naturally know His Highness's hard work when they see the benefits......"

Worried that Zhao Ying would be angry, Ji Mu coughed lightly and persuaded him out loud, Zhao Ying smiled and shook his head.

"It's okay, this kind of thing should be gradual, let them cultivate spontaneously, I asked too much......

Ji Mu secretly observed Zhao Ying's expression, and saw that he really didn't mean to be angry, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Back in the camp, Zhao Ying summoned the Daqin storyteller near Nanjun in front of Ji Mu.

"The subordinates have seen His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson!"

These apprentices from Confucianism and the Mo family did not expect to be personally received by His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun here, and they all looked excited, and rushed forward to bow and salute.

Zhao Ying stepped forward with a smile on his face and personally helped the older people in front of him up. Only then did he look around at everyone and said with a smile.

"You have worked hard, you don't need to be polite, please sit down......"

Zhao Ying's words made them sour and almost burst into tears.

Unlike the Great Qin storytellers who were assigned to Guanzhong, or Hedong and other places, these Great Qin storytellers who were assigned to Nanjun were in a very difficult situation, after all, their job was to publicize the benefits of the Great Qin policy and the First Emperor system to the local people.

And for many people in Chudi, whoever said good things for the First Emperor and Great Qin was their enemy......

Being cold-eyed and hostile to others is light, the key is that their propaganda effect is almost zero, but even so, they can only grit their teeth, bite the bullet, continue to insist, and then sort out the local customs and customs by the way, and send it back to Xianyang......

The bitterness in it is really not enough for outsiders.

For these situations, the county guard Ji Mu is naturally clear, at this time, listening to Zhao Ying's consultation about this, he suddenly felt a little sweat on his forehead, after all, these Daqin storytellers encountered this situation, and he, the county guard, could not shirk his responsibility.

Fortunately, although His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun listened very carefully, he didn't seem to want to hold him responsible, but pondered for a moment and looked at the person in charge of Nanjun.
