Reborn Daqin, I am the emperor

Even if you are given rights and fiefs, you are still just a prince, not a so-called king.

All these changes, speaking of it, stemmed from Ying Shou's former Daqin title change system.

In the former Qin Dynasty, various official titles such as Sangong Jiuqing, 72 doctors, etc. were established. Not to mention more, there were more than 20 titles, which were not divided into first-class and second-class.

However, after Yingshou changed all the systems, the imperial court changed from the original Sangong Jiuqing to Sangong and Six Departments. Officials at all levels were divided into nine ranks, which were formed by the chaos of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties in later generations. This is the officialdom system.

In officialdom, there are people who have real power to manage various things.

In addition to the officialdom system, it is the title system.The title system is different from the officialdom. Those who win the title may or may not have rights in the officialdom, but no matter whether they have rights or not, the title is a symbol of nobility.

Those who are officials do not necessarily have titles, and those who have titles do not necessarily become officials.Those who are officials currently have real power, and may have nothing in the future, so they can only retire and get subsistence allowances.

But the title does not necessarily have real power, but as long as the title is not lost, you can always eat salary, this is the difference between the two.

Chapter 785 Final Decision

In today's Great Qin Dynasty, there are no more than 20 titles in the former Qin Dynasty. Instead, Yingshou has changed it according to the system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but it is quite different from the system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the titles were male of Jianguo County, son of County Jianguo, uncle of County Jianguo, marquis of County Jianguo, Duke of County Jianguo, king of Jianguo County, prince and so on.

This is actually similar to the title system of the Zhou Dynasty. From the Xia Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty, the title system was actually baron, viscount, earl, marquis, duke, and finally a prince.

It's just that the kings of the Zhou Dynasty were completely different from those of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In the Zhou Dynasty, the kings could only be the emperor.

For example, the ancestors of the Qin State, Qin Xiaogong, Qin Xiangong, etc., are dukes.

Another example is Luhou, Qihou, etc., which are Marquises.

Besides, the founding monarch of the Zhou Dynasty, Xibohou of the Shang Dynasty, etc., in fact, there is a wait in the name, in fact, he is the earl.

Today, the title system formulated by Ying Shou can be said to be a combination of all dynasties and generations, gathering the essence and discarding the dross.

For example, whether the rights in this title are retained or eliminated.This right should be planned according to which dynasty's formulation and so on.

Finally, it is determined as six titles, namely Baron, Viscount, Earl, Marquis (Prince), Duke (Duke), and Wangjue (County King, Prince)

Among them, in addition to the princes included in the royal title, each title is divided into three ranks, the third rank is the lowest, and the first rank is the highest.

Such as the third-class baron, second-class baron, first-class baron, third-class viscount, second-class viscount, and first-class viscount, and so on, and finally, they are the third-class county king, second-class county king, and first-class county king.

Of course, before deciding on this system, Ying Shou also thought a lot about it. Ordinary people, general titles are promoted, and when they reach the Duke, they are basically capped.

As long as there are no accidents, it will be even more difficult to produce a county king.So this county king or something is actually set for the monarchs of all countries.

Ying Shou's ambition has never been hidden.What he wants is not just a Qin country.

The future Great Qin will surely sweep the world. In order to let the monarchs of the world gain some hope and countries come to court, he deliberately left the system of county kings.

Of course, when it comes to the title of king, unless Ying Shou believes in it very much, it is basically impossible to have real power.

Otherwise, once real power is gained, the once-destroyed country may revive, which Ying Shou will never allow.

Now that countries in the southwest are coming to vote, Ying Shou's title of county king, which has been carefully prepared for a long time, just happened to come in handy.

Following Ying Shou's opinion, the officials fell silent for a moment, and after a long time, they suddenly understood something.

The emperor of emotion said it nicely, and thought about it all night.In fact, he had this idea a long time ago.This is purely a layout first, and then a start.

One trick is to wait for the rabbit, and each returns to his position.So deliberate here, what else can the officials say?

"My dear friends, now you want to hear my opinion, and I have said it, but you can tell me, what is my idea?"

Ying Shou watched and pondered for a long time, then suddenly, he raised his head one by one, and couldn't help laughing at the officials who looked at him with admiration.

From the eyes of the ministers, he saw admiration, as if to say that the emperor is worthy of being the emperor, and he is really cunning and cunning.

This ending has already been set long ago, obviously it is to prepare for today, and it has to be very embarrassing.

With such eyes, Ying Shou felt a little sense of accomplishment.

It is said that if you are prepared, opportunities will always be reserved for those who are prepared.

He Yingshou has already made preparations, not only for the positions of the countries in the southwest, but also for the titles of the Xiongnu Shanyu and Donghu Khan.

Of course, it's one thing to be ready, but it's another thing whether these people can sit on it.

The kings of the countries in the southwestern countries who have invested so much effort and effort, Ying Shou is naturally happy to see their success, and let them be the king of Daqin.

But if the Xiongnu and Donghu didn't know what to do and swore to fight to the death, they would be beaten by Daqin so that there would be no quid pro quo, and it would not be their turn to enjoy the title.

If you want to enjoy it, you need to exchange conditions.And the power in their hands is the condition of exchange.

As the saying goes, the prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

Wouldn't it be a joke if any king of a subjugated country would come to Daqin to ask for a title at any time?

Moreover, this time the southwestern countries, nicknamed the 23 countries, actually, there are at most eight of them who can really be crowned kings.It is the king of Dian, the king of Yelang, and the kings of the other six countries who led the whole country to vote.

For example, Zhao State, although their people were sent to Qin State, but in the final analysis, the country was still destroyed.Even the country is gone, so naturally he is not qualified to negotiate terms.Ying Shou can at most be a marquis of King Zhao's descendants, which is considered heavenly.

As for the rest of those who either surrendered to Han Xin, or were destroyed by Han Xin, they never thought of submitting to Great Qin and seeking protection.

Of course Ying Shou would not treat them badly, but it's a godsend. It's enough to give their descendants a viscount or earl, and none of them are hereditary.

If you want to be hereditary, see how the descendants work hard, and see how the descendants make achievements.

Only the titles obtained through meritorious service will have the opportunity to be hereditary.

"I report to you, Your Majesty, it's so wonderful. In this way, apart from raising a few idle kings, Daqin will have no complaints and no disasters of enfeoffment. This is the best solution, Your Majesty is wise!"

Finally, Di Renjie walked out first, cupped his hands and said with a smile.

"That's right, Your Majesty. This approach not only calms the hearts of the nations, but also makes the world peaceful. This is the supreme strategy and it is feasible!"

Xiao He stepped forward and said solemnly.

While speaking, all the ministers spoke one after another, and they all agreed with Ying Shou's decision.

In fact, it's okay not to agree with this kind of thing. For one thing, they really can't think of a better way.

Furthermore, many examples from the previous dynasty are still there.

I remember that the first emperor of the previous dynasty abolished the enfeoffment system. At that time, the admonishers of the Manchu dynasty knelt outside the palace gate day and night, persuading the first emperor not to abolish the enfeoffment system.

Among them, the sons of the Ying family and the founding fathers were the most supportive, because once they were entrusted, they would get a lot of benefits, at least everyone was a monarch.

Therefore, the handling of the affairs of the world that time can be said to have caused unrest in the world.In the end, the first emperor said that he would not change it if he didn't change it. He also set up a cauldron in front of the palace gate and told those admonishing ministers that whoever dared to come would throw it directly into the cauldron, which was actually cooking in a big cauldron.

As a result, dozens of admonishing officials jumped into the cauldron one after another, making a gesture of deadly admonishment, wanting to leave their names in history.

The end result is that death is in vain.Not to mention death in vain, but also being convicted, it's okay not to leave a name through the ages, but once a name is left through the ages, it is infamy.

From this incident, everyone has learned a truth, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty decide small things, and the emperor has to decide the big things.

If you say something wrong, say something wrong, but never try to force the emperor, otherwise you will end up making up your own mind.

So all kinds of things, plus the fact that the officials felt that the emperor's actions were beneficial, naturally they would not be foolish to refute the emperor.

Chapter 786 Zhang Liang's Plan

A gentleman is sincere, not to be bullied!

A hypocrite is a villain, speaks out the righteousness of a gentleman, and does unbearable things.

For a true gentleman, treat him with sincerity, and say what you have to say, it is your duty to die for your country.But it is a shame to try to win a good name in this way.

There may be no shortage of such people in today's imperial court, but there are basically no such people in the three gongs and six departments who hold great power.

Not all of them are gentlemen, but they are definitely not hypocrites.

For example, Zhang Liang, who speaks out the words of a gentleman and does what a gentleman does, but he has never been a real gentleman.

He is a talented man, a strategist, and a chess player who uses the world as his chessboard.Sometimes, when it's time to act like a villain, he will never hesitate.

During the speech, Zhang Liang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was the last to speak, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, doing this can be described as benevolent and righteous."

"The order of a county king is to keep people and the land of Xianyang. From then on, the countries will no longer have the ambition to compete for supremacy, and the head to tail will not be connected. From then on, the dragons will have no leader, and it will be difficult for a storm to arise!"

"I feel that this strategy can be used forever. In the future, the world will be stable, and it will be called eternal. Preserving benevolence and righteousness, but also leaving a reputation, can be called a holy decision through the ages!"

"Moreover, the most important point is that the Xiongnu and the Hu people are now staring at the Great Qin. If there is anything to talk about, it would be good if the three legs stand on top of each other."

"If you can't, then appease the kingdoms and kings in this way. By then, the hundreds of thousands of troops in the southwest will become the strongest fighting force in our Great Qin. After all, the blood of Jiuli and Sanmiao is the blood of God of War."

"It's okay for them to be indulgent on weekdays. Once they gather together and reproduce the glory of Chi You's Jiuli, they will be invincible in the world, sweeping all over the world, and no one can beat them."

"No matter how strong the Xiongnu cavalry is, how can they defeat the Jiuli demon soldiers? The barbarians are bloodthirsty, how can they stop the descendants of the Sanmiao. With this confidence, why should we fear the Xiongnu Donghu?"

As he spoke, Zhang Liang had already laid out the world before he opened his mouth.

In this layout, the descendants of Jiuli in the southwestern countries are really too important, so important that they have become Daqin's trump card.

However, his statement is not an exaggeration at all.

When the emperor fought Chi You, to put it bluntly, the Yellow Emperor was not Chi You's opponent at all.If it wasn't for the help of Yandi's tribe in the end, Huangdi would be defeated.

Not to mention too much, not to mention the history, just say that in the myths and stories of later generations, whenever the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You is mentioned, the emperor almost relied on the help of others to fight against Chi You.

For example, the Nine Heavens Xuannv, the great beasts, all kinds of gods and so on.As for Chi You, he was directly labeled as a devil as a definition, gods block and kill gods, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas.

In the end, it was because of the large number of opponents and the continuous flow, coupled with some specific reasons, that they ended up in a big defeat.

From this, one can imagine how powerful the Jiuli tribe is.To sum up, when the Jiuli people fought for hegemony in the world, they definitely fought more with less, and fought with the weak to be stronger, bigger and braver, and never needed any help.

Those who can do this are rare in the world.

For example, when Chi You and the Jiuli Clan were placed in the Warring States Period, one of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period was Jiuli, and Chi You was governed purely by the Jiuli Clan and competed with the Six Kingdoms.

This point, even if it is as strong as Qin, it can't do it, so Qin can only join forces and fight with the six countries in different ways.

Knowing that after a hundred years of hard work and the suffering of several generations, the Six Kingdoms have been completely defeated.

In addition, in the end, the first emperor swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger, persevered in all directions, and finally destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world.

It can be seen from this that there is a big gap between the old Qin who went to the country together and the Jiuli people who swept the world back then.

As long as the fighting power of the Jiuli people is gathered and their potential is unearthed, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Daqin's hole card.

"Well, it seems that Zhang Aiqing has already planned something about this, so you might as well say it out and let everyone hear it!"

After hearing what Zhang Liang said, Ying Shou said with a smile.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have not thought deeply about the affairs of the Southwest countries these days. After all, the troubles of Daqin are still in the northern part of the country. However, the Southwest is now in the hands of my Daqin. For me, Daqin, it is no less than sending charcoal in the snow. !"

"When the ministers were discussing how to arrange the kings, the ministers were thinking about how to use the power of the Southwest. After much pondering, the ministers finally had an idea! At the same time, the placement of the people in the Southwest is also a problem. I think, I feel that they can just cooperate with each other and complement each other!"

Zhang Liang cupped his hands and said with a smile.

"Oh, is that so? The resettlement of the people in the Southwest is a big trouble. Since Aiqing has a decision in mind, it's best, let's talk about it!"

Ying Shou's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself: "As expected of Zhang Liang, after all, he is more suitable to be a chess player, a chess player who plays games in the world and makes arrangements for the world."

"As long as the general trend of the world is in harmony, for him, it is like laying out a chessboard, thinking about the layout all the time!"

While speaking, the officials also looked at Zhang Liang.

If today's court meeting can effectively resolve the crisis of going north, it will be a blessing for Daqin.

"My Majesty the Emperor, since the pre-Qin Dynasty ruled the world, immigration and defense of the border have been the norm. There are three advantages to doing so. One: it can defend against the enemy, like on a chessboard, it is placed in an orderly manner, and an order is obtained."

"Two: Once the nobles and common people of various countries get together, troubles will inevitably arise. In order to prevent this kind of time from happening, the common people of different countries must be arranged separately. In this way, it will be difficult for dragons to gather together, and the world will naturally be settled."

"Thirdly, build after breaking down, this is a must for building a country!"

"However, after thinking about it again and again, I feel that the land in the southwest is not suitable for immigration for the time being. It is already a cold winter. You must know that the eight countries including Dian Kingdom and Zhao Kingdom are for the safety of the people."

"Just going to my land of Great Qin, Bashu, which is so close at hand, still consumes the power of the whole country of the eight countries. It is conceivable how huge the financial and material resources are required for immigration!"

"Today, our Great Qin's national strength has indeed recovered a lot, but it has not yet reached the point where it can be squandered like this. The people of the eight countries, including the Southwest Dian Kingdom, have a population of only five or six million."

"If all the Southwest emigrates, it will be a matter of tens of millions. And if the people of Daqin want to immigrate there, we also need tens of millions of people to go there. The cost is too great!"

"If it was normal, it would be fine. At most, the whole country will endure it and it will be over. But now that the enemy is facing us, it's okay if we can't fight, but if we do fight, can our national strength of Daqin be able to bear it? Let’s just say it.”

"Once it is exhausted at this time, when the time comes, the soldiers will have no food and the whole country will be powerless, and Daqin will only have to be beaten!"
