He is very clear that although Yingzheng has granted him the right to make decisions, he still has to go through the other party's advice on matters related to military affairs. Otherwise, even if he doesn't say anything on the surface, he will definitely be dissatisfied with him.

For the king, no matter how much credit you have made before, once you arouse his suspicion, you will not be far from a dead end.

As the eunuch in charge of the net, many people thought that he was relying on ruthless killing of superiors, and the most outstanding thing about Zhao Gao was his control over people's hearts.

Whether it's Ying Zheng who is pressing on his head, or being dominated by his subordinates, he is very clear about what these people are thinking.

Sure enough, Ying Zheng was quite satisfied with Zhao Gao's humble attitude, put down the pen in his hand, and said, "Present it."

"promise"

The former responded respectfully, then walked over and handed the bamboo slip in his hand to the other party.

Yingzheng reached out to take it, opened the bamboo slips and looked at it, and then his expression changed: "Bai Yifei wants to use South Korea to exchange himself as a lord?"

Zhao Gao replied: "Exactly. He must have known that South Korea's national fortunes are only a few years away, so he found a way out for himself in advance."

Ying Zheng snorted softly, "He's smart."

Zhao Gao bowed and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to agree to this matter?"

Yingzheng put the bamboo slips aside, and said, "Why don't you agree to such a cheap offer? Although Daqin wants to take South Korea easily, if the opponent resists desperately, it will still cost a lot of people.

It is a good thing to be able to win a country without bloodshed, so that the soldiers of Daqin will save some blood. "

"Your Majesty is merciful!"

Zhao Gao followed suit and made a small flattery.

Ying Zheng said: "Tell Bai Yifei that when the world is divided again, Nanjun can be given to him as a fief."

"promise!"

Zhao Gao clapped his hands in response, then turned around and left to go to work.

When he exited the hall, Ying Zheng said, "Come out."

After the words fell, a figure walked out from the side hall, bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty."

"Li Si, what do you think about this matter?"

Ying Zheng asked a question.

Li Si replied after hearing the words: "The humble minister and the king have the same idea, and it is the best policy to subjugate the enemy without fighting."

Speaking of this, instead of a pause, he said with some hesitation: "It's just"

"Just how?"

Ying Zheng asked.

"It's just that Your Majesty really intends to give Bai Yifei the land of a county?"

Li Si raised his own question. Although exchanging a county for a country is a very cost-effective thing, I always feel that the other party's agreement is a little too happy.

Hearing the question, Ying Zheng glanced at him, and said calmly: "The widow keeps his promise, and what he said will naturally be fulfilled. If there is really a day when the world is divided, he will naturally abide by the agreement."

After the words fell, Li Si's expression changed, and his eyes flickered involuntarily.This sentence sounds normal, but the emphasis is on the word "if".

If that day comes, Nanjun will be rewarded to the other party, but what if there is no such day?

Thinking of this, a thought immediately flashed through his mind.Then he clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you intend to abolish the enfeoffment?"

"What do you think?"

Ying Zheng asked back, but did not deny it.

Li Si couldn't help but set off a wave of waves in his heart. The enfeoffment system has been passed down for thousands of years. Although dynasties have been constantly changing, this system has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has become a common sense.

Therefore, many people think in their hearts that even if the countries are unified, the new emperor will continue to implement the enfeoffment system, just like Shang Tang exterminated Jie and Wu Wang defeated Zhou.

But now Yingzheng wants to end the enfeoffment system, and if it gets out, it will surely shock the whole world.

The king's boldness and ambition seem to be greater than he imagined.

"What do you think?"

Seeing that he didn't respond, Ying Zheng asked him a question.

Li Si hurriedly bowed and replied: "I think that the abolition of enfeoffment is an act of great merit, and it will surely establish the only world in the world!"

Ying Zheng's expression remained the same, and he continued, "How can merit last for thousands of years?"

Hearing this, Li Si's heart couldn't help but move. He knew that this was a test for him by Ying Zheng, and the result of the test might determine whether he could become a supreme minister in the future.

Chapter 3 and Four

After hearing Ying Zheng's question, Li Si's brain turned quickly, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Reporting to the king, according to what I saw, although the enfeoffment system is beneficial to the maintenance of order and allows the princes to share the worries of the emperor, but the formation of The disadvantage is that it will cause endless harm!"

"Tell me carefully."

Ying Zheng said.

Li Si cupped his hands slightly, and continued: "The main reason why there have been many wars in the past hundreds of years, and the continuous wars of various countries, is the decline of the Zhou Dynasty.

If the Son of Heaven is strong enough to suppress everything, naturally there will be no problem.But if the royal family is at a low point, or if the power of the princes is too strong, it will not be able to continue to maintain the inherent order.

Those who are ambitious are definitely not willing to be just a lord, but want to replace him.In this way, the princes who originally guarded the emperor became the biggest source of disaster.

Therefore, I believe that although enfeoffment can achieve temporary results, it will plant the seeds of disaster for the future. Once there is any turmoil in the royal family, the princes below will take the opportunity to cause chaos, and the land of Kyushu will be divided again! "

After the words fell, Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "What you said is reasonable. Since there are many problems in the enfeoffment system, how do you think we can change this situation?"

Hearing these words, Li Si replied: "The most important reason why enfeoffment is not desirable is that the emperor has dispersed the power in his hands, and his power has been greatly weakened, so that he can no longer form a sufficient deterrent.

Therefore, Weichen believes that if we want to make the country more stable, we should do the opposite and put more power in the hands of the king.Everything can be decided with one word, even if it is thousands of miles away, all the officials can bow their heads and obey orders! "

Yingzheng's expression changed, his eyes flickered, and he looked at the other party and said, "Your words are very in line with everyone's wishes."

Hearing this, Li Si couldn't help showing a look of joy on his face. He knew that what he said just now should have pierced Ying Zheng's heart.

He knew that the Qin monarch had ambitions and courage far beyond ordinary people, and he also had a strong desire to control. What he wanted in his heart was naturally the centralization of power rather than the decentralization of power.

At this time, Ying Zheng continued: "Then tell me, since the enfeoffment cannot continue, how will the Great Qin rule the world if it is to be ruled in the future?"

Hearing the question, Li Si said respectfully: "I think that after the abolition of enfeoffment, maybe the system of prefectures and counties can be used instead."

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "County?"
