Hereditary succession and hereditary diminishing succession, in fact, this system first appeared during the Wei and Jin dynasties.

The original fixed inheritance of the title is divided into two types, and under the ordinary hereditary, every time the title is passed, it must be reduced by one level.

The emergence of this system is because Sima Zhao expanded the content of the title, and by the time of Sima Yan, because there were many knights, these people were distinguished, some titles could be passed on without increasing or decreasing, and some titles were to be constantly demoted.

During the Tang dynasty, the clan was also included in the system, and by the Song dynasty, hereditary succession was basically replaced by demotion and uninherited titles.

And the person in charge of this in history is Pei Xiu.

In Luoyang at this moment, most of the ministers were angry in their hearts.

Wang Chang sat on the top with a straight face, his face was pale, and he didn't say a word.

Zhong Yu knelt on the side, looking very respectful.

"Prince, my younger brother is indeed a little excessive, and the ministers have made great contributions and obtained the title"

As soon as Zhong Yu opened his mouth, Wang Chang interrupted him.

"Zhong Yu, don't say it again."

"I have a good relationship with you, and I have never competed with Accountant Zhong these days, but this time, I really have nothing to say to him, please go back."

Zhong Yu let out a long sigh, "Prince, our two families are quite communicative, and we have family affection. ”

"Zhong Hui's idea is a little more radical, but what he thinks about is also the great cause of the society, not for himself."

Wang Chang looked at him in surprise, "Does Zhong Gong think that I am the villain who thinks about himself?" ”

"Don't I understand the principle of weakening the gate valve of the great clan with decreasing titles, while avoiding the emergence of new clans and reducing the burden on the temple?"

"Only your brother knows the big things in the world, and we are all stupid and stupid people?"

Wang Chang patted the case in front of him angrily, "We all know these truths!" ”

"But is that how things work?"

"Even if you want to reform the title, you have to pay attention to the speed of progress, such as today's many major events, migration, work for relief, schools in various places, tax issues, not one thing has been completely done!"

"Your Majesty went to Yongzhou this time, and even found the inadequacy of the officials, and issued two edicts in a row!"

"Why is this happening?"

"It's because there are people like Zhonghui who are in a hurry, who don't know contentment, ignore the fundamentals of the world, only see what they want to see, and only care about their own merits and ignore the danger!"

"Until now, he has never been able to understand his mistakes, and he dares to accuse the old man!"

Wang Chang said angrily: "Please go out with Zhong Gong!" lest you make evil from now on! ”

Zhong Yu was very helpless.

In the last Shangshutai meeting, Zhong Hui proposed to weaken the title step by step, which immediately caused great controversy, Wang Chang thought that Zhong Hui's idea was not suitable for the moment, and decided to terminate the meeting.

Then, he was severely criticized by Zhong Hui.

Zhong Hui thinks that he only cares about personal gains and losses, cares about his title, and doesn't care about the interests of the whole world at all.

Therefore, he thought that Wang Chang should be removed and let himself directly lead Shangshutai.

Wang Chang immediately ordered the bell to be blasted out.

The contradictions between the two sides have also been thoroughly intensified.

This made Zhong Yu's scalp tingle.

This time, he came to plead, but Wang Chang was already offended too ruthlessly, if it weren't for the past friendship between the two families, I am afraid that Zhong Yu would have been beaten out.

Zhong Yu could only continue: "When I go back this time, I will definitely discuss this matter with my younger brother, please don't worry!" ”

Without waiting for Wang Chang to answer, he got up and saluted, turned and left the place.

After walking out of the mansion, Zhong Yu slowly raised his head, his eyes full of exhaustion.

For this younger brother's nonsense, he really has the heart and is powerless.

The emperor's favor to his younger brother was too much.

My brother's behavior over the years has become more and more presumptuous, becoming more and more arrogant day by day, and he can't wait to do everything for more than a hundred years in one day.

If this continues, he believes that one day, his brother will cause a great mess, and then he will go into the earth with the great ambition he desired.

What kind of person the emperor is, Zhong Yu couldn't be clearer.

With the support of several relatives, Zhong Yu got into the car and immediately coughed.

He was much, much older than Zhong Hui, and he was no longer young.

The driver immediately drove away and soon disappeared from the road.

At this moment, Zhong Hui is busy sorting out many documents in his hand, which are all about the many problems that exist in the current title.

Pei Xiu was sitting next to Zhong Hui at the moment, her face full of sorrow.

Knowing that this would be the case, Pei Xiu would never dare to mention him any knighthood.

Just before the Shangshutai meeting, Cao Chao came to Pei Xiu and urged him to complete the school as soon as possible, Pei Xiu knew that Zhong Hui was thinking about the tax matter, and in order to find something to do for him, he told Zhong Hui the two ideas of title subdivision and title reduction that he had thought about in the past.

According to Pei Xiu's meaning, after seeing two brand new ideas, the first reaction of a normal person is to think about this problem, and then gather his henchmen to discuss.

But he never thought that Zhong Hui would be able to bring it up at the Shangshutai meeting the next day, and let himself explain it to everyone.

When he saw the eyes of everyone looking at him, Pei Xiu knew that it was bad, and this was a big deal.

Sure enough, at this moment, he was tied up and boarded on Zhonghui's thief ship.

He couldn't help but persuade: "Zhong Shizhong, this matter is very important, it is not easy to solve, it is not something that can be implemented in a short period of time Your Majesty has not come back yet, it is better to suppress this matter first, and wait until Your Majesty comes back, and then we will talk about it, what do you think?" ”

Zhong Hui glanced at him, "It was you who proposed to change the title at the beginning, but now it is you who are holding back." ”

"Look at the reaction of the ministers, do they seem to be able to agree?"

"Besides, should things like this, which are considered unkind, be carried out by His Majesty? What do we do? ”

Pei Xiu really couldn't understand what the person in front of him was thinking.

He explained again: "Zhong Shizhong, these two of my two are just immature ideas, the matter of the title is very important, and it is also in contact with the clan, Your Majesty has spent so much energy to appease the clan, if your words are spread, you have to make the clan frightened, and let Your Majesty's many efforts go to waste, how can you bear it?" ”

Zhong Hui nodded, "What you said makes a lot of sense, that's why we need to negotiate, the knighthood is not a trouble now, and I don't want to implement this policy today or tomorrow." ”

"I mentioned it in Shangshutai, in fact, I just wanted to hear the thoughts of the ministers and whether they could check and fill in the gaps."

"I never thought that the ministers were villains who only cared about their own titles and didn't pay attention to the world."

Pei Xiu was completely silent, not knowing what to say.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Zhong Hui looked at Pei Xiu with a smile.

"This is Wang Chang's lobbyist!"

He hurriedly got up and prepared to greet his brother.

But when Zhong Hui walked out of the door, he found that it was his son, Zhong Yong.

"Father!!"

Zhong Hui glanced at him, then looked outside, "Where's my brother?" ”

"Father! Uncle, after he came out of Wang Shangshuling's house, he was unwell, and he was in his house at the moment, and I came to inform you on purpose! ”

Zhong Yong's face was pale and he looked extremely frightened.

Zhong Hui narrowed his eyes, turned around and walked back to the study, and sat next to Pei Xiu.

"My brother, in order to suppress me and let me stop fighting against Wang Chang, this is a feint to deceive me."

Pei Xiu frowned, "Zhong Gong is sick?" You're not visiting? ”

Zhong Hui waved his hand, "My brother is strong enough to beat three like me, and he is sick?" How is that possible? ”

"It's just a strategy, let's continue to talk about big things."

Zhong Hui continued to talk about things, and Pei Xiu didn't say anything more.

But Zhong Hui's words were no longer as neat as Fang Cai's, and he paused after a few words, and pondered from time to time.

Suddenly, Zhong Hui slammed the paperwork in front of him.

"That's it"

Zhong Hui said helplessly: "You go back first." ”

Pei Xiu saluted and fled away, and Zhong Hui asked Liu Yuan to prepare the carriage and horse.

Liu Yuan quickly prepared the carriage, and Zhong Hui got into the carriage and rushed towards his brother's mansion.

Liu Yuan sat in the car with him, looking at Zhong Hui, who was a little absent-minded, and he asked, "Teacher?" Did something happen? ”

Zhong would scoff.

"Knowing that it is a plan, but still running to the middle of the plan, do you think such a person is stupid?"

Liu Yuan was a little puzzled, "What's the plan?" ”

Zhong Hui did not answer him.

When the carriage arrived, Zhong Hui swaggered towards the inner room.

Seeing the nephews who were crying and saluting him, he waved his hand to stop them from crying and told them all to go to the outer courtyard.

When he walked in, Zhong Yu was lying on the bed, and the imperial doctor was taking his pulse.

Zhong Hui also did not salute and walked to his brother's side.

He lowered his head and looked at Zhong Yu on the bed.

"Brother, I'm here, I don't have to do it anymore."

Zhong Yu slowly opened his eyes, his eyes bright.

Zhong Hui was not the slightest surprised, just asked the imperial doctor to go out, sat down beside his brother, and looked sideways at the door.

"Why is it that no one in the world can understand me except Your Majesty?"

Zhong Yu just looked at him, "Shiji, I may not be able to hold on." ”

Zhong Hui's hand trembled, "Okay, I'll wait for His Majesty to come back and then negotiate." ”

"It has nothing to do with this, I'm getting older, I took loose drinks when I was young, but my body is getting weaker and weaker, and I can't help you solve your problems anymore."

"You're still strong! Why are you bluffing me? ”

Zhong Hui looked at his brother with displeasure.

The two brothers looked at each other.

Zhong Yu shook his head, "Shi Ji, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this year, at this age, I can be regarded as a full house of children and grandchildren, successful and famous, there are no regrets, the only thing I can't let go of is you." ”

"What would you do if I were gone?"

Zhong Hui tugged at his collar, and his expression became more and more irritable.

"You're not old, you're tough!"
