Chapter 297: The five emperors will never reunite, and the three generations will never attack each other!
"Old minister, correct the facts." Zuo Prime Minister Feng Quji broke the silence in the palace and said loudly: "Old minister is now in charge of household registration for the whole country. He knows very well about the nobles of the six countries. Dr. Zixiang said that most of the nobles of the six countries moved to Xianyang. It is a big mistake.
also!"
"What are the facts?"
"It has been six years since His Majesty issued the edict to move the nobles of the Six Kingdoms. In addition to the relocation after the war of annihilation in the early years, only more than 2,000 large families of the so-called nobles of the Six Kingdoms have moved to Xianyang, and these were all severely punished by the government.
A big supervisor."
"For example, the Xiong family, Jing family, Zhao family, and Qu family in Chu State, the Han family and Zhang family in South Korea, the Tian family, Guan family in Qi State, the Wei family, Zhang family, Chen family in Wei State, and the Zhao family in Zhao State
The great nobles such as the Ji family, the Wu family, the Yan family, and the Li family were all moved to Xianyang."
"Even so, many people from these clans are still fleeing and hiding, and there are still a large number of original nobles from various countries who are still entrenched in the local areas, such as the Xiang clan of Chu State, the He clan of South Korea, the Li clan of Zhao Kingdom, the Le clan, etc.
They are doing evil in the local area, harming the people, and plotting for restoration."
"Everyone has known this for a long time!"
"Why would the imperial court have issued an arrest warrant in the past few years?"
"also."
"You slander the court officials and say they are the real culprits behind the scenes. How ridiculous!"
"The ministers of the imperial court have been in Xianyang for many years and have long since lost contact with the Six Kingdoms. Even if they do have contact, the imperial court and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are more important and less important. Don't these ministers understand? You are in a high position, and your status is not that of the Six Kingdoms.
Can the rest of us compare? Why are you so short-sighted?"
"In your eyes, are the ministers of the Qin Dynasty inferior to those of the Six Kingdoms?"
"The annexation of local land is indeed bad. When I first took charge of household registration in the world, I also heard some folk proverbs. The folk said: The rich have fields stretching across the country, and the poor have no place to stand. When I heard this, I was also very sad, but if I put this kind of shady story
It is simply ridiculous to belong to an important minister in the court!"
"It took the Qin Dynasty ten years to dominate the world."
"Today, it took only six years to annex half of the people's land in the world. Is this really beyond human power? Such evil means and greedy plundering of people's households can only be achieved through long-term annexation. The Six Kingdoms have indeed been destroyed, but the nobles in the city still have food and clothing.
No worries, the fields will be plentiful."
"Have you really never thought about the reason?"
Feng Quji stopped abruptly.
The entire hall was as quiet as a deep mountain valley.
The doctor in attendance felt like a thorn in his back, his face was gloomy and he was speechless.
They naturally knew this, and even knew some conclusive facts about the annexation of land by the nobles of the six countries, but these could not be explained to outsiders.
Many courtiers nodded.
They have all heard about the land annexation trend.
Most people in the world attribute the cause to the corrupt officials of the government, but the Qin Dynasty has only ruled the world for six years, and now it has barely figured out the local household registration, population, books, etc. How can it seize food from the mouths of local nobles and powerful people so fast?
and.
Confucianism is very abnormal today.
Making a fuss about something that is not yet clear, or even openly slandering a court minister, is such a despicable behavior, it is really disgusting and makes people suspicious.
Zheng Guo also came out and said: "As for the Confucian scholars who said that the enfeoffment of your Majesty's children is all under the control of governors, I also have different opinions. The vassal system you admire is actually the old system of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. But during the three dynasties, the world had not changed.
Although agitation arose, there was no contention among hundreds of schools of thought. From the emperor of Zhou to the ordinary people, they only knew the feudal system."
"At that time, I was practicing feudalism. Instead of following the royal way, my mother would rather say that I had no choice!"
"That's why it's not an eternal basis."
"Besides."
"The bones of King Wu of Zhou were not yet cold, but the Zhou family was in great trouble. The person who caused the trouble was the ruler of the royal family. The princes of Cai were so feudal, how could they protect the emperor? How could they protect the royal family?"
"As for the rebellion in Haojing by King You of Zhou Dynasty, the great princes of the royal family, Jin, Lu, and Qi, did not dare to save them. If the Qin people had not abandoned their grudges and King Qin Qin of Qianli fought bloody battles, how could the Zhou family in Luoyang have continued?"
"Not to mention that the feudal princes are like enemies of each other, attacking each other without being able to stop them, beggaring their neighbors and trampling on the people's livelihood... All this and so on have led to hundreds of years of chaos in China, and the feudal princes have
It can be seen that this has become the root of disaster for the world!"
"If you really become a feudal lord, it will be tantamount to abandoning the hearts of the people of the world. It will be tantamount to planting the roots of division and rule again. Abandoning the exploration of China for more than five hundred years and returning to the old path. You and other doctors are all well-educated scholars. Now
Sticking to one family's studies without considering the current situation, how is it any different from carving a boat to seek a sword?!"
Zixiang's face did not change and he retorted: "What I said is to govern according to the time and place. This is the right way of the world, and it was not proposed by me."
"In the Qin Dynasty, since the reign of King Huiwen when Bashu was taken over, the royal ministers have directly led Bashu for nearly a hundred years, which is very similar to the feudal princes. In the reign of King Zhao, there was Ranghou who governed the pottery place. At the beginning of your Majesty's time, the king's younger brother Chengcheng governed Taiyuan.
, this is actually the case!”
"And I don't advocate feudalism, but rather determine the size of the feudal country based on geographical distance."
"The king is feudal. The closer the land is, the bigger the country is. The farther the land is, the smaller the country is. Therefore, there can be princes ten miles away on the sea. All these and so on are governed by different distances. How can there be chaos?
In the current situation, the feudal princes are determined to rule in one court, so how can there be two rules in the world?"
Yang Duanhe said:
"As you said, the governance of China's border areas, such as Yinshan, Longxi, Liaodong, and Nanhai, especially requires feudal princes? If the border areas are really feudal, I dare to say that the Qin Dynasty will lose its barrier of thousands of miles, and the Zhou Dynasty will
If you die, you will die among the princes!"
"The troubles of princes are the source of turmoil!"
"If the imperial court is not feudal, it can work together as one, and if there is trouble on the border, it can be calmed down at any time, so that the chaos in Haojing will not happen again, and the chaos in the world will be greatly reduced. Even if the nobles of the six countries have evil intentions, they will not be able to blackmail them.
People, when the restoration comes, the family will definitely be isolated from the world, and what should we fear from the 600,000-strong iron army of the Qin Dynasty?"
Yang Duanhe did not quote scriptures, and he could not speak in those literate words. His words were as simple as ever, without too many passionate words, but they made the originally messy hall feel like a gust of autumn wind sweeping through it, giving it a chilling air.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Everyone was quiet for a moment.
Other courtiers who wanted to speak fell silent.
Only the doctors' eyes were still full of dissatisfaction.
They did not take Yang Duanhe's words seriously, and their expressions were full of criticism. They had never taken Yang Duanhe seriously in the past. In the past, Yang Duanhe rarely spoke, so from beginning to end, in their eyes, Yang Duanhe was just a person.
A dark, stout and solid general, he didn't understand anything at all.
Just when the doctors wanted to refute.
Li Si, who was sitting at the head of the officials, suddenly stood up.
He loudly said:
"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you."
"Prime Minister Jin said." Ying Zheng looked very calm.
Li Si bowed and said:
"Today is a big banquet. Your Majesty wanted to lay out the state affairs. Unexpectedly, the doctor's servant shot Zhou Qingchen to approve the Qin government, which led to the doctor Chunyu Yue to criticize the system of prefectures and counties, and asked him to implement the system of vassals."
"The government has been stable for six years, but things can suddenly happen. Li Si believes that this is unusual!"
"The poem goes: The wind and rain are like darkness, and the cock crows endlessly."
"The aristocrats of the six countries are engaged in evil annexation in an attempt to restore the old system. There is a lot of talk between the government and the public about their desire to act royally. They also slander the court, spread rumors and prophecies, and the nobles flee, etc., which are all proof that the undercurrent of restoration of the old system is raging."
"It is not a crime to argue in court."
"However, it has been six years and there is an edict from His Majesty. If we can invite Jiujiang again, there must be a big undercurrent like wind and rain. The so-called hurricane started at the end of Qingping. Such a violent force cannot make it possible."
Spread into disaster.”
"I recommend a thorough investigation of the doctors in the Doctoral Academy!"
Li Si finished speaking.
Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of all the doctors.
Zixiang's face also changed slightly.
He originally thought that his actions were very cautious and no one in the court would notice, but Li Si seemed to have lightning eyes, and in just a few words, he revealed his thoughts directly, and pointed the finger directly at them.
I want to thoroughly investigate Confucianism!
Zixiang felt that her back was soaked.
It was also the first time that he knew the importance of the great minister.
An ominous premonition suddenly arose in my heart.
Li Si continued:
"Today's discussion and the words of the doctors are all about carving a boat and asking for a sword!"
"The old minister once again reiterated today: The five emperors will not reunite, and the three generations will not attack each other. Each has its own way of governing. It is not that their intentions are contrary, but the current situation is different."
"The Qin Dynasty has created great achievements that will last for eternity, which cannot be understood by Confucian doctors."
"The flowing water has passed, and the boat is sailing in the wrong place."
"Chun Yuyue spoke of the three-generation vassal system, and Zi Xiang spoke of enfeoffing his disciples to control the state. All the merchants of Chu were carving boats and seeking swords, so it was not enough to follow his example."
"That's why."
"It is time to abolish the system of prefectures and counties and implement the system of vassals."
"I won't discuss it again in the future!"
After Li Si finished speaking, all the officials nodded.
The doctors were all silent.
Although Ying Zheng did not speak, everyone could feel the dissatisfaction of the First Emperor. If this topic was raised here and the county system was abolished, it would be completely lost and could never be raised in the court again.
Kong Yu's face looked a little ugly.
Naturally, he didn't want it to end here. Their goal hadn't been achieved yet.
But Li Si had already said this, he couldn't even think of how to respond, and now other courtiers actually agreed, as if the situation was over.
Subconsciously.
He looked at Zixiang.
Zixiang's face was equally ashen. After Li Si's words, they blocked their way forward. Even after the banquet was over, the court might really start to investigate their Confucianism, but now they couldn't withstand the investigation.
Can't be checked either!
Zixiang took a deep breath and thought of countermeasures in his mind.
a long time.
He finally thought of a way to deal with it.
But his expression showed obvious fatigue.
he knows.
Once his words are spoken, Confucianism may completely lose power, and may even suffer a series of suppression and retaliation from the First Emperor, but he has no choice.
He must drag.
If you don't delay.
If the imperial court really conducts a strict investigation, not only will their private studies be exposed, but their affairs with the nobles of the six countries will also be exposed. Even if they escape Xianyang, there will no longer be a place for Confucianism in the world. He wonders if the imperial court will
Check, but he doesn't dare to gamble.
Because he really can't afford to lose!
He has no choice!
Zixiang wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Trembling:
"I dare you to ask all the gentlemen to give me a report!"
"Whether counties should be enfeoffed or not, the opinions of the princes should be listened to."
