Chapter 211 Enfeoffment and Counties

Chapter 211 Enfeoffment and Counties

Li Si looked at Zhao Gang and felt more and more confident.

First, he recruited hundreds of scholars, and now he canonized Zhao Gang as a false son. Ying Zheng issued the decree directly without discussing these two things with himself.

As the auxiliary minister, he felt uncomfortable, but also felt a little bit of threat.

But he was more worried about his status.

Many Sangongs and Jiuqings on the side looked at Zhao Gang and felt a little bit of disbelief.

Zhao Gang looked at Ying Zheng in front of him in shock and seemed to understand something.

There are not a few people in the Manchu Dynasty who know their identities. The reason why Yingzheng was not canonized directly, but adopted as an adopted son.It seems that the Ying clan is unwilling to let go.

In fact, Zhao Gang didn't care much about who he was.

He just wants a more stable life, not to live in fear every day.

But now it seems that everything is as Li Mu said.

With great power comes great responsibility.

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gang from the moment the edict was read out. There was no excitement or joy on his face, but a deep self-blame and helplessness on his face.

In the end, Ji Ru and her own son were unable to return to the Ying clan.

The fake son was just telling outsiders. In fact, he could only be regarded as a domestic slave at most and not a serious prince. There would be no possibility of inheriting the throne in the future.

I am sorry for Ji Ru, and for those who died protecting Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang took a step forward and bowed to Ying Zheng, "Ying Gang sees Father."

Old Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gang in tears and nodded repeatedly: "Good boy, good boy!"

The father and son hugged each other and wept, and the ministers who knew Zhao Gang's identity were also filled with emotion.

After exchanging pleasantries, Ying just stood up, looked at the leaders of the various schools in front of him, and said, "Since my father ordered me to serve as the Grand School Order, I will take up this responsibility. I wonder if you think what I said is right? "

"That's right!" All the people from the hundred families shouted in unison.

"Before that, I would like to ask you a question."

Ying just cleared his throat and said, "We are all descendants of Emperor Xuanyuan, why should this land be divided by Qin, Chu, Qi, Yan, Zhao, Wei and Han?"

The show is here!

Hearing Ying Gang's words, smiles appeared on the faces of everyone.

People from all schools and factions have different expressions, some are contemplative, some are inscrutable, some are disdainful, and some are motivated, Zhao Gang sees all of these.

But the only thing he can't see through is the attitude of the Taoists, like a pool of clear water, which can't be seen through.

Zhao Gang used his mind-reading skills to look at the past, and only then did he understand the reason why the other party did not express his opinion.

The person from Taoism is Chisongzi, the younger brother of Renzong Xiaoyaozi.

Unlike others, they have a deep obsession with Qin, and it is by no means that a few things can change their position and determination.

"Master Chisongzi doesn't agree with what I said?" Zhao Gang was not annoyed by Chisongzi's objection, and said with a smile.

"Returning to Your Majesty, returning to the Taixue Order, I really dare not agree with what the Taixue Order said. You must know that since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the history of canonization of princes, the king's court being in the middle and the princes' guarding has been passed down for thousands of years. Although we are the same They are descendants of the Yellow Emperor, but the ancestral system cannot be abolished."

The words of the red pine nuts caused the surrounding temperature to drop suddenly.

Especially Pushe Zhou Qingchen's expression changed drastically.

Because what Chisongzi said was not a matter of Taixue, but a matter of Qin's national strategy.

All dynasties adopted the enfeoffment system, but the Qin State went against the grain and implemented the system of prefectures and counties. At the beginning, the Confucian children wrote a letter against it, but the first emperor did not pay any attention to their request.

Now Zhao Guo originally planned to eliminate the boundaries of culture, but unexpectedly turned to national policy.

Ying just wanted to object, but after thinking about it, he looked at Ying Zheng, who was sitting high above the hall, and swallowed his words back.

"The ancestral system cannot be abolished? Then let me ask you, I heard that the emperor of Zhou divided the princes into more than a hundred families. Why was it that when the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Zhou Dynasty and destroyed the six kingdoms to unify the world, there were only seven kingdoms left? I dare to ask the other princes now where?"

Ying Gang also quickly said: "Your Majesty's words are very true. When I destroyed Zhou in the Great Qin Dynasty, I never saw people from the six kingdoms of Shandong come to defend the emperor of Zhou? Did the princes of the six countries obey the orders of the emperor of Zhou? And the reason why the royal family of Zhou was able to Where does it come from to become the co-lord of the world?"

"This..." Chisongzi argued for a while: "Your Majesty, we also respect Your Majesty as the Lord of the World. The reason why the Lord of Shang and Zhou Dynasties can last for hundreds of years is because of entrusting the children of meritorious officials. Now His Majesty is unified. It's only been a few years, but you can see what's going on in the land of Shandong, from this point of view, enfeoffment is the right thing to do."

Ying just saw that Chisongzi was ignorant of current affairs, so he continued: "Since Emperor Xuanyuan, Dayu divided Kyushu, Xia began, and then the monarchs of the Xia Dynasty changed the abdication into hereditary, and there was no entrustment. But why did Xia last for hundreds of years? How long? Although Xia is a tribe, why did the Shang and Zhou divide the feudal lords? Since Xia is the leader, why didn't they follow the ancestral system? Can Master explain it to me?"

Ying Gang pressed on every step of the way, making Chi Songzi's face flushed red and speechless for a long time.

"This……"

"Hehe, since Master Chisongzi can't solve the puzzle for us, then I will tell everyone why."

"To put it bluntly, the population has changed a lot."

The hall was extremely quiet, and it was a matter of national origin. There had been debates since the destruction of the country. Because of the suppression of Ying Zheng's power, many people dared not stand up to oppose it.

But now that the power of the Six Nations has rekindled, those who support the feudal system have come forward again.

"Since Xia, although civilization has been born, the population is sparse, the weapons are simple and the people live in hardship. After Xia, it is Shang, the bronze ware gradually matures, the people cultivate more and more, and the population increases. When they gather together, they are extremely unchanged. This is why There was enfeoffment. In the Zhou Dynasty after the Shang Dynasty, ironware gradually appeared, gradually replacing bronze, food was more abundant, and weapons became sharper. More than a hundred princes fought and annexed each other, and only our country, Great Qin, was left. We are gradually becoming stronger, but we The enemy is also growing."

Ying Gang eloquently made everyone fall silent.

"In the past, the Western Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by the dog army, and now the Huns are rampant, and the Qiang, Yuezhi, Donghu and other alien races have never given up their hatred for our Huaxia clan. If we continue to divide the land, it is absolutely impossible for a single country to compete with the alien races in the north. If you continue to follow the teachings of your ancestors at this time, can any of you tell me which country in the world can resist hundreds of thousands of cavalry from the Xiongnu?"

Ying Gang's words left everyone speechless.

Ying Gang continued: "Combination leads to life, division leads to death. This is the root cause of the prefecture and county system implemented by the emperor. The purpose of our establishment of Taixue is also the same. Think about those schools that have died out. If everyone continues to be hostile to each other , their yesterday is your tomorrow.”

Ying Gang's words hit everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer, and everyone who was against it at first let go of their obsessions, watching Ying Gang choose to obey.

"In that case, my farmer will take my leave first." Tian Meng suddenly said.
