My brother is the most handsome man in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 500: I am afraid that if there are too few rebels, Your Majesty will not be able to kill them all.

There was something obviously wrong in the eyes of the superior Qin Er.

Wei Zhang was secretly happy that this was the solution they came up with.

After careful discussion, everyone unanimously concluded:
Qin II was mediocre and mediocre, but his desire for the throne was very strong and his methods were ruthless.

Killing the Queen Mother, killing Gan Luo, and now trying to dethrone Ying Fusu as the crown prince, aren't they all for the purpose of centralizing power?
This is an old tradition of the Qin State. There is no king of Qin in the past who does not want to centralize power. The first emperor who wanted to centralize power the most also wanted to replace the enfeoffment with complete prefectures and counties.

The Qin Empire also had a tradition of having powerful ministers emerge in large numbers.

Empress Dowager Xuan, Empress Dowager Huayang, Lu Buwei, Wei Ran... these are all.

As an official in the Qin State, anyone who is extremely illustrious will be tabooed by the king.

Bai Qi was like this, Zhang Yi was like this, and this Jiang Shang who jumped out of nowhere was like this.

"Your Majesty! I heard that the traitor Jiang Shang has kept hundreds of followers in the Prime Minister's Mansion. They are called civil and military officials and hold small court meetings every day!"

"Your Majesty has great trust in this old thief, but you don't know that this old thief is so ambitious that he has blocked His Majesty's hearing and wants His Majesty to harm the Crown Prince to lose his virtuous reputation!"

"The prince is disobedient, but your majesty thinks nothing of the late king's affection. Isn't this beautiful? The whole court and the public praise your majesty's virtues! All the soldiers in the country call your majesty a virtuous man!"

Xiangbang Jiang Shang held his left chest and panted.

"What nonsense! What nonsense! Your Majesty..."

The noisy court meeting did not end until noon, and Prince Ying Fusu was ordered to leave for Shangjun immediately.

In order not to bear the bad reputation of assassinating the late king's son, and to bear the reputation of being generous and virtuous, the emperor let the prince go.

The ministers were very excited.

They figured out Qin II's preference, name.

They drove a nail between the Second Emperor of Qin and Jiang Shang. Which official could withstand the hands of the supreme king's fake ministers?
They worked together to protect His Highness the Crown Prince and showed their loyalty to His Highness.

Next, they have to be honest and obedient.

In the streets and alleys of Xianyang, voices questioning Qin II's virtue began to appear.

The content is that Qin II conspired to murder the previous king for the throne.

In order to consolidate the royal power, he killed the late king's mother, Queen Mother Zhao, and the late king's friend Gan Luo.

It is basically the same as what Sikong Cheng said when he was young.

Prime Minister Jiang Shang entered the palace three times in three days, his face getting uglier each time.

Zhou Qingchen, the left prime minister, was summoned to the palace on the fourth day. When he came out, his chest was as high as a victorious rooster.

In the next few days, Meng Yi, the internal historian, Fu Zikang, the internal historian of Zhisu, Zhang Han, the doctor, and other nine ministers were all summoned separately in the next few days. They looked both happy and worried when they left the palace.

Soon, a eunuch left holding a tightly wrapped object wrapped in black satin.The inner and outer three layers of black satin were wrapped tightly, and it was impossible to tell what it was from the outside.

However, judging from the fact that Xiangbang was mourning for his heir, and that the officials of Xiangbang's palace sent memorials to Xianyang Palace, it is very likely that the top-quality black satin was engraved with the traditional jade seal that said "Ordered by heaven, both longevity and longevity".

Hunjun seemed to have finally gotten up from his soft home, remembering that he was the emperor of the Qin Empire and had to handle various political affairs of the Qin Empire.

After working hard for less than seven days, Cai Ze, Lord Tsunade who had been idle at home, was summoned to the palace. When he came out of the palace, he had already served as the censor Zhongcheng.

Two days later, the left prime minister Zhou Qingchen and the censor Zhongcheng Cai Ze came to the doctor's office with the imperial edict.

A group of well-educated doctors put down their brushes and books.

Watching the two men open the imperial edict, they announced that all the doctors would participate in the court meeting and that they would plead not guilty during the court meeting.

From then on, the doctor's office held a small court meeting every three to five days and a large court meeting every ten and a half days.

Discuss what?affairs of state.

The Ph.D.s, who had always been shelved and immersed in learning without real power, were very excited and felt that what they had learned could finally be put to use.

If the court meeting is not held, isn't the court meeting held by their doctors the court meeting?

In the past, the doctors only answered the emperor's questions, and their opinions did not play a decisive role in the Qin State but were auxiliary.

Nowadays, civil and military officials do not go to the court to express their opinions. Only doctors can express their opinions on government affairs. This feels really great.

The prime minister Jiang Shang, who was thought to be in bad luck by the ministers, was not killed by the owl, nor by the three tribes of barbarians.

Whether it is extremely peaceful or not, things will turn around.

The Second Emperor of Qin affirmed the legitimacy of the hundreds of famous disciples and said that even King Qi Wei could withstand being stabbed in the face. I am much more virtuous and generous than him, so I can do it too.

Jiang Shang was ordered to hold a discussion, but all the proceeds from the discussion had to be reported to the palace.

The Meng, Xi, and Bai families were gone, and Gan Luo also rebelled and was killed. The status of the Wei family, which was originally a noble family, rose.

There were no tigers in the mountains and Wei Zhang, who was called the king by monkeys, sneered after watching the court with cold eyes for several days.

You, Qin II, think that by abolishing the Great Court Meeting and establishing two Small Court Meetings, you can get rid of the influence of aristocratic families?The family is everywhere!
If they keep using the Qin Sword to open the way and point at the deer in Lumingyuan and call it a peerless horse, those who dare to say that it is a deer will drown in Xianyang Prison, and there is nothing the family can do.

I am a minister, and I cannot fight against the murderous king.

But if you talk angrily and make small moves, you are running into the arms of aristocratic families!
Nine out of ten people who are literate are children of aristocratic families. How can the untouchables in Guizhou have the opportunity to study?
After the doctor's office experienced two events, the doctor entered Korea and Taishan killed Bo, most of them were from aristocratic families.

The nobles of Qin conveyed their thoughts to the Prime Minister's Mansion, to the Doctor's Office, and finally to Qin II.

Want to get rid of our family?dream!
After all the six kingdoms of the First Emperor were destroyed, didn't he still dare not directly implement the system of prefectures and counties?The merits of the Three Emperors and the virtues of the Five Emperors were not matched by those of the previous kings. Why do you, the Second Emperor of Qin, have no title of emperor?
By stupidity and cruelty.

The nobles' wishes were conveyed to the ears of Qin II, but none of them listened.

The unwilling nobles introduced Wei Zhang's son-in-law, Jingjun, a doctor of law, and wanted Jingjun to assassinate Qin II.

They suspected that the imperial censor Cai Ze, who had always been timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and the left prime minister Zhou Qingchen, who only knew how to flatter, had deliberately omitted their will in the report.

The Second Emperor of Qin would come to the doctor's office every time he held a court meeting to start the court meeting, and he would leave after only half a cup of tea.

Jingjun seized this opportunity. As soon as Qin II sat down, he shouted about national policies and stabbed Qin II in the face.

The next day, a doctor of law accidentally drowned in Xianyang Prison.

The ministers were silent, and Wei Zhang was itching with hatred.

Is this what you call getting a face tattoo?

You are just doing it to gain a reputation!
In addition to the role of checks and balances between the two Umrah meetings, the discussion between the two Umrah meetings has no effect on you at all, right?
In order to express his grief for the late king, Qin II finally chose the emperor's title of [-].

It comes from the sentence "I am the First Emperor, and the generations to come will be counted. The second and third generations will be counted for all generations, and the legend will be endless."

Ying Chengyu also gave titles to all the emperors in later generations, and they must all follow the words of the late king, three emperors, four emperors and five emperors, to show that he will never forget the late king's contribution to unifying the world.

Since Ying Chengxuan ascended the throne, everyone in the world has addressed him as Your Majesty.

When you have to address Ying Chengyu, who has no title, you may call him the King of Qin, or the Emperor, or sometimes you may call him the King of Qin, but there is no such thing as the Second Emperor of Qin.Qin II is what future generations call him, just like Qin Shihuang.

From then on, there was only one person named Dang Yingcheng—the Second Emperor.

The common people in Guizhou didn't think there was anything wrong with this account, but the aristocratic children who didn't worry about daily necessities and liked reading novels all looked weird.

The word "two" has long been given the meaning of stupidity by the protégés of novelists who have been booming in the past few years.

In the past, I only dared to call Hunjun behind his back, but now he calls me directly to his face.

Second Emperor, stupid emperor, this number is so appropriately chosen!
"In ancient and modern times, Tai was respected. Your Majesty can be called the Emperor of Tai. The word "二" is a bit unbeautiful."

Cai Ze looked at Ying Chengyu's expression and said cautiously.

"Oh? Why? I think it's beautiful."

Ying Chengqiao seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Your Majesty thinks it is beautiful, so it must be beautiful. Ze is old, has a weak will, and is disturbed by other people's words and actions."

"Nowadays, in troubled times, Tsunade-kun has become more and more adept at protecting himself."

"With His Majesty's grace, it would be difficult for Ze to die."

Ying Chengxue laughed out loud.

"Cai Ze, Cai Ze, you are really afraid of death to a certain extent. You are such a smart person, wouldn't you be able to see that if you follow me, you will be infamy for thousands of years? Don't you want to clear your name?"

Cai Ze lowered his head and said respectfully:
"I remember His Majesty said that compared with life, a posthumous reputation is not worth mentioning."

Ying Chengxun shook his head.

"I never said that."

Cai Ze slapped himself hard, causing blood to flow from the corner of his mouth.

"I remember it wrong."

After returning home, Cai Ze closed the doors and windows, sat on the bed alone, rubbed his slightly red and swollen face, and chewed his teeth.

"The Second Emperor... these idiots! They screamed so happily in front of Your Majesty. Do you really think Your Majesty doesn't understand the meaning of these two words?

"Whoever thinks your Majesty is the second is the real one! Stay away from these two people, lest they get stained with feces and urine and stain my clothes!"

Cai Ze remembered clearly that when he met with the First Emperor, he saw the First Emperor scolding the Second Emperor, saying that if you have time to write such lousy books, you might as well read the "Book of Shang Jun" again!
The First Emperor's original words were like announcing the names of dishes, naming nearly ten books in one breath.

Cai Ze, who loves reading "Spring and Autumn", went back to look for these books and found that there were novels and poetry collections with different author names.

He then searched for books based on the names of these authors, and all the poetry collections and novels published in the past few decades were placed in front of him.

The First Emperor had always disdainful of lying.

Cai Ze didn't want to believe it, but he had to believe that the novelist protégé who had a blowout and the new poetry writers who suddenly broke out were all Ying Chengyu.

The stupid meaning of "two" was given by the Second Emperor.

No seeds can be planted in the winter soil, and no crops can be harvested.

In past winters, people in Guizhou relied on the food they had accumulated throughout the year to survive at home, and only a few people could still find a living.

This year is different.

This year, rebellions broke out all over the country, and the Qin State conscripted troops again.

The standing army in the pass of Qin State was very small.

In Xianyang, the capital of Qin, the army had city defense troops under the control of internal history and Langguan who protected Xianyang Palace. The two together totaled less than 15 people. The Lantian camp guarding the capital of Qin had a permanent army of [-] troops.

As for the other major counties and cities, the total number does not exceed [-].

Qin's army is mainly concentrated in the border areas. The total number of border troops in the northeast and northwest is 30.

The total number of soldiers in all the Qin armies was around 50, which was not enough for Wang Jian's army to attack Chu.

There is only one reason for this. The Qin State cannot afford to support so many troops. The King of Qin needs most of his people to farm the land.

The Qin State has always recruited soldiers during war, and after the war, most of the soldiers were sent home to farm.

However, Qin never recruited soldiers in winter.

Because of the winter recruitment, when you enter the military camp, you have to not only take care of the soldiers' meals, but also their salaries. In the Central Plains, there is basically no fighting in winter. This habit is the same as in the desert.

Since it is the beginning of spring to go out to war, it is better to recruit troops in March when spring flowers are blooming. Recruitment in winter has no use except draining the national treasury.

Training soldiers for war?Qin State does not need training, and all the people of Qin State, which implements the policy of farming and war, are soldiers.

My father and eldest father, who had been on the battlefield, would consciously train the men in the family to have some fighting skills and commands. Going to the battlefield was a fate that the Qin people could not escape.

But the second emperor conscripted troops.

Lieutenant Lian Po, who had been a retainer of the Second Emperor, entered Xianyang Palace and explained the pros and cons in an attempt to put an end to this absurd behavior.

We went there on horseback and came back in an ox cart.

This was not the favor of the second emperor, but the fact that the captain's buttocks were so bruised that he could not ride a horse after being beaten with twenty sticks.

Xianyang was originally the one-spoken hall of the Second Emperor, and no one dared to speak. After looking at the closed gate of Guowei's Mansion, no one dared to speak.

The prince who was far away in Shangjun sent a memorial. He first strongly opposed the winter conscription, and then said that he could lead the border army to conquer the rebellion next spring.

The second emperor severely reprimanded the prince and asked him to take care of the northwest gate and not let barbarians knock on the gate. He should take less care of the affairs in the middle of the gate.

In half a month, the second emperor raised 50 troops in Guanzhong in the name of winter training in preparation for the spring crusade against rebellion.

When the people in the head of Guizhou heard about Qin's military conscription, they signed up enthusiastically, scrambling for fear that they would not be able to join the army.

The second emperor specially held a court meeting for this purpose. He wore a solemn imperial robe and a crown to show off to the civil and military officials.

I asked with a smile, except for me, where else in the history of the Qin State have the people been so active in recruiting troops?

The ministers shook their heads and said no.

The second emperor laughed and said, "What does this mean?"It shows that the people love me and regard me as their king and father. If I don’t adjust Lantian or recall the border troops, I will have an army of 50 in an instant. In March, I will personally conquer the rebellion!
The ministers all call His Majesty the Holy Ming. Your Majesty is the most virtuous and most beloved king of the Qin Kingdom. With Your Majesty, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are nothing more than clowns and vulnerable to attack.

Prime Minister Zuo Zhou Qingchen said with a smile:
"I am afraid that if there are too few rebels, Your Majesty will not be able to kill them all."

The second emperor, Long Yan, was delighted and was immediately promoted to the first rank.

Jiang Shang, the prime minister, Lian Po, the country's captain, and Fu Zikang, the governor of Su Nei, jointly reported that the national treasury and local grain depots consumed a huge amount, and they were attacked by the ministers.

He was directly expelled by the displeased Second Emperor.

The ministers all said that His Majesty is wise on their faces, but in fact they were sneering inwardly, just waiting to see the second emperor's scandal and what you would do if you ran out of food!
