"So you are observing the widows, that is to say, you already know the harm of the enfeoffment system?"

Zhao Lie suddenly realized, he didn't expect that what he said had already been presupposed by others.

"Yes, I come from Qi, so I naturally know the harm of this system, especially the last king of Qi, and the prime minister, it is unreasonable. You resigned because of the darkness in the officialdom of your country."

"So you support the county system, right?"

"I don't support the prefecture and county system either. It's just that it's okay to use the prefecture and county system in Kyushu now. However, as the land area increases, there will be problems in the management of the prefecture and county system. In fact, the seven countries are not. Let's talk about the previous ones. Youyun Kingdom has four major regions, how many counties are there? If all of them become provinces, it will be easier to manage."

Unexpectedly, Chun Yuyue actually supported the provincial system. It seems that this person is indeed a great talent in governing the country, and he is not constrained by the actual situation, but his attitude is rather arrogant. This kind of person will not be popular in the officialdom in the future.

"Very good, then please go back and convince your friends, can we support the abolition of enfeoffment together? Let's put aside the provincial system first. The current land area is already able to use the county system. When problems are about to arise, we can switch to the line system." No one had anything to say about the provincial system at that time.”

"promise!"

The Jixia Academy is already overcrowded. This is where many Confucian scholars live.

Chunyu Yue came back, and everyone was waiting for the final answer.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, the enfeoffment system will definitely be abolished, but the king promised that as long as the time is right, the provincial system will be realized. That is to say, the current county system is only a transitional stage, and the country still needs to expand its borders. Tuotu, the current one is not very strong, and the strength of the empire is not limited to this, what do you think?"

All the people were silent, not knowing how to answer, this is a wise Youyun King, so the previous speculation can be given up now.

"We just agreed? Don't you have any resistance? In your eyes, this matter is over?"

One Confucian scholar still couldn't accept this reality and directly came out to oppose it.

"Either the provincial system, or the enfeoffment system, where did the county system come from? This King Youyun is clearly playing us!"

"I don't think it is he who proposed the exercise system, but you also know that the current three ministers are all heroes of the founding of the country. Naturally, their system should be supported. Think about it with everyone. We are still very young now. They all It’s a group of old men, can’t we still consume them? Even if we are in the prime of life in 20 years, but they are already in their twilight years, won’t the power be in our hands by then? And it will be realized in 20 years If there is great unification, there will be problems in the prefecture and county system itself, and we will not be needed at that time, and the country will definitely reform."

"You really trust that Youyun King so much?"

"Indeed, his sincerity has touched me. I am willing to trust this person and give my life to him. If you are not willing to go out of the mountain, why don't you just stay with me and see what happens?"

Some people were still silent. Seeing Chunyu Yue's begging so much, they couldn't say anything more.

In Xuanzheng Palace, Wei Yang has already started his own statement.

"Your Majesty, now that the world has been preliminarily determined, and you are about to ascend the throne, the country will continue to adopt the system of prefectures and counties in order to stabilize the Quartet. The enfeoffment system that has been used since the Zhou Dynasty should be abolished."

Zhao Lie looked at the others confidently.

"Do you have any different opinions?"

This time, there was no sound in the audience, it seemed that everyone had gone silent.

"Chun Yuyue, please tell me, you are the representative of Confucianism, you are also an outstanding talent in governing the country, and now you are a capable general in the province. The three ministers all said that you are a new star in the future, so I really want to hear about you. Good regards."

In fact, all of this has been designed. After all, such a representative is to set an example for everyone.

Chunyu Yue stood up, showing such respect for the first time.

"Returning to the king, the current situation, the enfeoffment system is indeed unstable, and the world will be safe when the king is around, but it is hard to say whether the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period will reappear in future generations, so what I mean is that the system of prefectures and counties is indeed different from the feudal system. It is also much superior, so what I mean is that the system of enfeoffment can be abolished."

"it is good!"

Zhao Lie stood up, looked at the officials, and laughed.

"Since there is no objection, then the enfeoffment system will be abolished?"

The ministers were very puzzled. The Confucian scholars who always sing the opposite tune are so quiet today. Even the mad student Chunyu Yue has changed. It seems that the abolition of enfeoffment is imperative.

"My minister agrees!"

In this way, the debate about a national system finally came to an end here, and the next thing to do is the exciting emperor's ascension to the throne.

However, there is still a problem here. Since he is going to be enthroned, he is the Son of Heaven. What should he do to convince the world?
"Chunyuyue, you are a representative of Confucianism. Now the enthronement is imminent. Both the Huns and Baiyue have vowed to attack the Central Plains again. How do you answer?"

"Actually, this problem is very easy to solve. Your Majesty is the only king in the world. The hundreds of years of civil strife have finally been quelled by your Majesty. Such a feat, of course, can be regarded as the emperor. Therefore, I think that the Zhou royal family no longer exists. Yes, the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo still exists, although it is just a piece of stone, but the king can re-carve it, implying that our nation will last forever."

Everyone present nodded, and everyone occasionally agreed with this statement.

"Then I will leave this matter to you!"

"promise!"

Chang'an City, Weiyang Palace, all kinds of decorations have already started, Zhao Lie's ascension to the throne has finally come to a critical moment.

It's just that Zhao Lie is still very worried that what is about to happen will affect his ascension to the throne. After all, this is the first time in the ages.

He came to the ancestral hall for sacrifice again, looking at the ancestors in front of him, hoping to find some inspiration again.

"Son, I see that you are very flustered now, can you tell us what happened!"

"The widow is about to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. It stands to reason that this is a good thing, but the widow is still uneasy. After becoming the emperor, many things will not be as free as they are now."

"Indeed, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Now you care about Jiuzhong Prefecture, but others may not accept your affection. This is your problem now. However, you have already taken down the representative of Confucianism, which means that you are still Those who are capable, don’t worry that your ancestors will always bless you.”

"What about expanding the territory? After the few become emperors, they will continue to develop the empire, but the ultimate goal is to unify the empire, not to maintain the status quo. This is another challenge."
