Chaotic Qin

Chapter 148 1 Death

Ying Zheng laughed when he heard Qin Zichu's words.

He looked at Qin Zichu and said in a low voice, "Wu Qi said the words 'The son of the emperor, the third generation will receive the title'. At that time, the state's wealth and titles were in trouble in Chu, and he was mourning for Chu. Wang Bianfa tried his best to solve this problem and came up with a solution. I, Daqin, have already solved Shiqing and Shilu completely, but why did Zichu bring this up again?"

The biggest disadvantage of the Shiqing Shilu system is that it cannot mobilize the enthusiasm of talents to serve the country. If talents lack the idea of ​​making contributions, the country will definitely become weaker and weaker, and politics will gradually tend to be corrupt and incompetent.

But it is undeniable that when opening up territories, if the rewards for meritorious officials include the commitment to their descendants' official titles, it will be able to mobilize their greater enthusiasm.

Therefore, Qin Zichu and Ying Zheng looked at this matter from different angles.

Qin Zichu shook his head, and said seriously: "Compared with other countries, the Juelu system of our Great Qin has weakened the power of Juelu the most. The title can only provide them with money, not power. Moreover, the title is only for the title of nobility. One of the courtiers, not a single descendant can get asylum. But I think, if it can be extended to three generations with "benevolence", then even if it is only money, many people will rush to the title. Because no one can guarantee that their descendants will It is destined to produce good talents, and for those who have fought for their lives to ensure that their family will not decline for three generations, they will get more support and gratitude. After three generations, the capable will live in it, and the incompetent will naturally decline. .and……"

Qin Zichu said with a meaningful smile.

He said proudly: "Ah Zheng, when we select talents in Daqin, we almost don't care about their backgrounds. When officials attack the opponent's character, their backgrounds can't be regarded as a defect of their political opponents. I don't need to say more about the benefits, but there are too many talents recommended. Most of them, except for a few that we can spare time to meet, many of them are handed over to the courtiers. In other words, these talents are not so much the talents of our Daqin, as they are the disciples of other courtiers. But if they How about they all become 'Students of the Son of Heaven'?"

Ying Zheng's slightly squinted eyes suddenly lit up, completely understanding Qin Zichu's train of thought.

He connected Qin Zichu's words before and after, and said excitedly: "Zi Chu, you mean that the military generals of the country must guard the border all the year round, and the suffering is unspeakable, and not many people are willing to replace them. Therefore, you can give the generals a noble title Lu wins over to ensure that the three generations of his family will not decline and fall into trouble. However, the civil servants above the hall are recommended by others, and they are recruited uniformly... No, you can simply make a list, and then use the current embarrassing current affairs as the examination questions, let them answer collectively, choose Those who are good will be appointed!"

Qin Zichu immediately nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I mean. Ah Zheng, what do you think?"

"Brilliant plan!" Ying Zheng clapped his hands and laughed, his eyes gleaming extremely brightly.

He happily leaned forward and kissed Qin Zichu's side face, and laughed loudly: "This method is really great. In this way, I can implement the county system as I like, and I don't have to push Jiang as I often do for Qi Guotian." I am worried about the ministers of the power of the clan dynasty. At that time, I will be able to refute the accusations raised by the Confucian scholars when they demanded enfeoffment!"

Yingzheng chose the county system at the beginning, not only because the county system can control the power in his own hands to the greatest extent, but also because of his background.

Yingzheng's childhood was very difficult. At that time, he had the ambition of "the inferior people climb up".

In the Warring States Period when there were too many classes, Yingzheng even had a bit of hatred for the princes and nobles of Zhao. After he returned to Qin and received a good education and enjoyed the luxurious life of a prince, the scope of this hatred also gradually increased. His ambition to unify China has expanded to the noble children of the other six countries.

After Yingzheng unified China, the former princes and nobles of the six countries did not accept his rule honestly, but changed their ways to make trouble.

This deepened Yingzheng's dislike of the princes and nobles left over from other countries.

Therefore, when the Confucian scholars tirelessly put forward the "Faxian King", intending to divide up the group of aristocratic survivors from various countries who were finally defeated by Yingzheng but still looking for death, Yingzheng's nerves were completely angered, and even the Confucian scholars were also attacked. disgusted.

In other words, in Yingzheng's mind, the enfeoffment system, in addition to being inferior to the prefecture and county system itself, also deeply stimulated Yingzheng's negative emotions.

He will never pass the enfeoffment system, even if he is reborn, it is impossible to change Ying Zheng's thinking in this regard.

Qin Zichu said considerately: "I see that it won't be long before the six kingdoms are wiped out, and I know that sooner or later the struggle between the enfeoffment system and the prefecture and county system will be pushed to the top again. That's why I went to think about the feudal system. The method evolved to maintain the power in the hands of the king. You can do it if you think it is good."

Ying Zheng listened to Qin Zichu's words and realized that this method was not his idea.

He asked curiously: "Who has such a talent and came up with this method?"

Qin Zichu heard Ying Zheng's question and knew that he would not be happy with the answer.

But Qin Zichu still couldn't help laughing and said, "It was a tyrant with a reputation similar to yours who created the imperial examination system, and it was a female emperor who created the emperor who personally asked the tributes to the palace."

Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty and Wu Meiniang would definitely touch Ying Zheng's anger.

Sure enough, Ying Zheng's expression darkened immediately after hearing the answer.

He said unhappily: "What's going on? There are still women in power?"

Qin Zichu patted Ying Zheng on the shoulder, and said calmly: "Don't look down on women, you are qualified to say that women are not good, but it is because women do not have the opportunity to receive the same education as men, and in this era, because of wars and farming techniques are too Falling behind, women have not yet had the opportunity to use their wisdom because of their natural physical weakness. If the weak will fight their brains alone in the future, women will not lose to men."

Qin Zichu sighed as he spoke, and said solemnly: "No one deserves to be oppressed. Ah Zheng, don't give women chastity archways, I hate this kind of thing, it's disgusting. Suppressing women's development, It can only prove the man's fear from the bottom of his heart, the fear that he is a loser."

Ying Zheng snorted coldly and turned his face away.

Qin Zichu leaned forward and said in a good voice: "Don't you also say that it is a good idea for the emperor to come to the examination in person? At least this empress is very talented."

"I won't praise widows who are virtuous." Ying Zheng pulled Qin Zichu into his arms and whispered into his ear.

He arrogantly declared: "I have nothing to fear!"

Qin Zichu couldn't help laughing, put his arm around Ying Zheng's waist, and the two cuddled together for a long time without making a sound.

After a while, Qin Zichu said with a smile: "It's okay to be afraid, it's scary for women to deliver goods—such as my mother."

Qin Zichu and Yingzheng are lingering, and the atmosphere in Xianyang Palace is harmonious, while Yan Wangxi, who is far away in Jidi, is so frightened that his face turns pale.

"Yao Jia Mingming accepted a huge bribe from the widow, why would the Qin State attack me, Dayan?" Yan Wangxi was so frightened that he didn't choose what to say, and in a panic, he even said all the words about his collusion with the important officials of the Qin Dynasty.

The prime minister, Li Fu, has always been short-sighted and arrogant.

Hearing Yan Wangxi's words, not only did he not feel that it was inappropriate for Yan Wangxi to collude with the loyal ministers of the Qin Mission without discussing with his subordinates, but he thought it was a good idea.

Therefore, Li Fu immediately asked: "My lord, there is no movement of the Qin army at the border. Is this news from Yao Jia?"

Yan Wangxi nodded in dismay, and said anxiously: "Yao Jia said that he brought the widow's explanation and Dukang's map back to Qin, and he did not calm Prince Chu of Qin at all. Please look, Prime Minister, the message from Yao Jia reads Prince Zheng has already arrested the spies of Wei State and tortured them—the spies of Wei State just wanted to inquire about the news of Qin State, and that unfilial son Dan was the mastermind of the assassination! King Qin locked him up, and he wanted to kill him King Qin, then the widow sent him to Qin as a hostage, does he also want to kill the widow after returning home?!! Because of this matter, let alone Du Kang, even if the widow gave the entire map of the country of Yan to Qin Prince Chu , and bowed their heads to the state of Qin, they will not let go of a person who tries to assassinate themselves. No matter what, I can't escape this catastrophe!"

Li Fu took the small piece of brocade that Yan Wangxi stuffed into his hand.

Zhao Guotong's words were densely written on it in tiny small characters, and the meaning was similar to what Yan Wangxi said, but apart from explaining things, it was nothing more than repeatedly persuading Yan Wangxi to continue to cede land and seek peace.

Although Li Fu is not a person with a bright mind and understanding of people's hearts, he is indeed a full-fledged militant and careerist.

After reading the contents of the brocade, Li Fu discarded the brocade on the ground with a face full of disdain.

He directly said to Yan Wangxi: "My lord, since Yao Jia is a guy who eats inside and out, we will continue to send him a large sum of jewelry, let him deliberately speak to the lord of Qin and the leading generals, and enter Yan from Wusui and Fangcheng." environment, how about catching turtles in an urn?"

As soon as the chestnut words came out, the frightened expression on Yan Wangxi's face disappeared without a trace.

Wu Sui and Fangcheng were the cities that became the land of Zhao State after they were attacked by Lian Po in the Battle of Yanzhao.

The people of Yan State are very clear about the secret road leading into the city and the nearby topography.

If the Qin army really entered here, then no matter how many Qin troops came, they would be blocked by the Yan soldiers who had prepared in advance, and they would be unable to move.

At that time, prepare firewood and vegetable oil, and lock the gates of the two cities. Even if the Qin army is brave and invincible, it will be difficult to fly!

Thinking of this, Yan Wangxi was ecstatic.

He said repeatedly in his mouth: "Yes, yes, yes, what the prime minister said is true! The widow immediately sent gold and silver treasures to Yao Jia, so that he can speak to the king of Qin! Send all the soldiers to Wusui and Fangcheng!"

That night, a convoy rushed out from the machine city, the capital of Yan State, and headed south quickly.

The Yan people, who were escorting a huge amount of bribes, intended to catch up with the Qin army heading north—Yao Jiaxin had already said that his mission this time was to come with the army and persuade Yan’s old neighbor, Qi, not to be troublesome. Yan State was attacked by the Qin army and sat idly by.

Yao Jia sat across from him, and after bowing down to the general Li Muqian, he said seriously, "General Li Mu, Yao Jia has already done what you ordered, but if Yan Wangxi doesn't take the bait, will there be trouble in the future battle?" What about the impact? After all, we sent him the news that the Qin army was approaching nearly half a month in advance."

Li Mu narrowed his eyes and laughed.

There was a sharp light in his eyes, he waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "If the plan is successful, all the attention of the Yan army will be concentrated in Wusui and Fangcheng, and we have no intention of deploying other positions. Our army can destroy the Yan army as soon as possible. Even if this fails, there will be no loss for us—the combat effectiveness of the Yan army, whether it is prepared or not, I can't see a little difference."

Li Mu used to be from Zhao country, and the soldiers under him were also from Zhao country.

Could it be that the people of Yan State are familiar with the terrain of Wusui and Fangcheng, but they are not familiar with them as former victors?

Yan Wang Xiyue took chances and did not make detailed preparations for the war, the better the opportunity for them.

What Li Mu wanted was not just victory, it was too simple for him—what Li Mu wanted was to save the lives of his soldiers to the maximum extent possible in the process of destroying Yan!
