Chapter 528: The power of the Great Qin Emperor is supreme!
Chapter 528: The power of the Qin Emperor is supreme! (First update)
"Great Qin really cannot tolerate nobles?" Xiao He said.
Liu Ji pondered for a moment, and finally nodded affirmatively, and said: "I have thought about it repeatedly during this period, and the Qin Dynasty cannot tolerate the nobility. The Qin government itself runs counter to the nobility. Even if Qin Luoheng does not take action this time, he will definitely do it next time.
I know how to do it."
"We all overlooked one thing before."
"What kind of country is Da Qin going to build?"
"In fact, some clues about these problems can be seen from the New Deal of the Qin Dynasty. These New Deals all came from the First Emperor. To a certain extent, they represented the will of the First Emperor. The First Emperor wanted to eradicate the nobility, and even used it to build a new family."
"But if I were the First Emperor, I would do the same thing."
"The nobles must be attacked!"
Liu Ji's eyes were sharp and rare.
Xiao He asked: "Why?"
Liu Jidao: "In the past hundreds of years, Chui Gong and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together. As a result, we have all seen that the scholar-bureaucrats gradually became self-reliant and even separatist regimes. They listened to the instructions but not the propaganda. The First Emperor was the one who ended this troubled world, so how could he want to return to the throne?
Follow the chaos of the Zhou Dynasty?"
"The First Emperor cannot tolerate scholar-bureaucrats and nobles."
"At the time of the first gathering of scholars, I vaguely remember someone telling me that the Ten Young Masters said that a gentleman's glory can be beheaded in five lifetimes, and a villain's glory can be beheaded in five lifetimes. If this can really be realized, a situation will inevitably occur.
, people at the bottom continue to climb up, and then decline after several lifetimes.”
"Repeat from here on."
"Wouldn't this situation be more beneficial to the royal family than the era of scholar-bureaucrats?"
"The constant rotation of the scholar-official class means that these scholar-official class are never able to accumulate strength. How can such a scholar-official class threaten the royal family?"
"After Shang Yang's reform, Qin actually established this system. However, it was only Qin at that time, so it did not cause a shock in the world. However, this system also brought great vitality to Qin, because Qin did not stick to trivial matters and was only about talents.
It’s a move.”
"Therefore, many capable people in the world chose to join Qin."
"the reason is simple."
"Because Qin doesn't care about birth, family status, or rank. He only cares about your ability. If you are really capable, then you can be in a high position."
"With the unification of Qin, this situation has not only not changed, but has been further strengthened."
"And this has become a deadly knot between Qin and the nobles."
"The nobles have enjoyed the superiority of being born superior to others. This sense of superiority has lasted for hundreds of years. How could they be willing to become like the untouchables they regarded as 'pig dogs' in the past? Therefore, the nobles will definitely oppose Qin."
"Because the two are inherently like fire and water."
"The Qin government was established on the basis of opposing the dictatorship of scholar-bureaucrats, and it was bound to establish a new system on the corpses of nobles. What happened in Chu is just a microcosm of the Qin Dynasty further extending its system to the whole country."
"This is never going away."
"unless......"
"The Qin Dynasty was destroyed."
"Or the nobility will be completely destroyed."
"I have been thinking about whether this system can be successful, but the behavior of the Tenth Young Master this time has made me think more."
"In the past, scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world."
"At present, the Ten Young Masters clearly aim to unite the lower class and pit them against the scholar-official class. It may indeed be a feasible method to have the lower class to attract the attention of the scholar-official class. However, as some people from the lower class enter the 'scholar-official class', these people may not necessarily
It won’t change.”
"Perhaps the emperor's suppression of scholar-bureaucrats is an eternal thing."
"The bottom layer is at best just scratching the surface."
Liu Ji lowered his head, his expression unusually serious.
During this period, because he served in Shouchun County, he also had a deep understanding of the Qin government and the Qin system. With his own understanding, he gradually became clear about the operational system of the Qin Dynasty.
The so-called system of Da Qin.
In fact, they all serve one person.
It's the emperor!
All the laws and decrees of the Qin Dynasty were actually designed to consolidate the imperial power and avoid the loss of power, and they were also constantly weakening the power of the courtiers. From the beginning to the end, the system of the Qin Dynasty pursued the idea that the Qin Dynasty would last forever, and that the emperor would rule the world alone.
Anyone who might threaten the imperial power is constantly being weakened and suppressed.
and......
Liu Ji gradually realized something.
There may be a reason why the Qin Dynasty was not keen on clearing out the nobles of the Six Kingdoms before, but aimed at maintaining stability in the world.
The hidden dangers of the nobility are obvious.
The hidden dangers within Da Qin are truly fatal.
Listening to Liu Ji's explanation, Xiao He thought thoughtfully, and then sighed softly: "Yes, these nobles are born to be superior. How can they be willing to accept reality? Are they willing to admit that they are indeed in decline?"
"Qin cannot tolerate these nobles."
"Even if the Tenth Young Master doesn't attack the nobles of Chu this time, Great Qin will definitely attack other nobles next time, and they will fight until death."
"What the Qin government wants is the rotation of scholar-bureaucrats."
"This is to prevent the emperor's power from being threatened."
"The First Emperor came out of troubled times. He was well aware of the long-term shortcomings of the Zhou Dynasty system. Naturally, he did not want the Qin Dynasty he founded to repeat the same mistakes. Therefore, the existence of nobles who have been prominent for generations is completely contrary to the Qin Dynasty."
"It's too cruel to kill him after just five lifetimes."
Xiao He couldn't help but sigh.
Liu Ji frowned and glanced at Xiao He.
He said angrily: "Why Xiao He? Do you still want to become a noble? Do you want to be a minister for generations?"
Xiao He's expression froze.
Liu Jidao: "For people like us who are half-assed, it would be great if we could become scholar-bureaucrats. As for becoming the former nobles, we basically don't think about it. Moreover, the system of Da Qin is indeed ruthless, but it may not be really cruel."
"The titles of Da Qin decrease gradually."
"So after five generations, if your descendants are still incompetent, even if you are a high official, you will have already fallen down. But if your descendants have talents, they will naturally be able to rise again. Da Qin is a meritocracy, and it is not just a matter of talent.
Just suppress."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If no one has come forward for five generations, even if you are given the position of public minister, how can you still sit there?"
"Da Qin's system seems ruthless, but in fact it still gives you some dignity. Even if you are really incompetent, as long as you don't make mistakes and don't get into trouble, you can basically survive safely. But if you want to rise again, you may also take some risks.
matter."
"High returns must be high risks."
"Then you should bear some price."
"I think Da Qin's system is good. It's at least better than the bullshit system of the Three Generations. It at least gives people like us at the bottom a chance to rise. If the descendants of Gongqing can't become talented despite such a wealthy environment, it can only mean that they are just a bastard.
waste."
“What to expect from waste?”
"We will all be dead by then, and the future generations' business will be none of our business."
"It would be great if we could pass on an official and a half-lordship."
aside.
Fan Kuai laughed loudly and said: "Liu Ji is right. Don't worry about our future generations. No one will remember us at that time. Why should we worry so much? If you have this free time, you might as well work harder.
Earn more titles."
After listening to the two people's words, Xiao He's face turned red.
Gongshou Road:
"I was overthinking it at the moment."
"Ashamed!"
Liu Ji shook his head and said: "This is not your problem. Your background is better than ours. After all, you are people who have gone to school and studied. Fan Kuai and I used to face the loess, so naturally these things are not important."
"But you are different."
"You have a certain family background."
"So you naturally want to extend the family line."
"This is actually understandable."
"And this is also a hidden danger for Qin Ting at the moment."
"The hidden worries of the nobility are obvious, but the courtiers in the court are the ones who are hidden. Those who hold high positions, how can they not want to protect their descendants? A large part of these people want to restore the 'nobility'
The one who controlled it.”
"The corruption in the Six Lands may not be caused by them."
"The First Emperor had not taken action against the nobles of the six regions before, maybe he was deliberately keeping an eye on the officials of the imperial court. After all, the nobles of the six regions were simply vulnerable in the eyes of the First Emperor, and the officials of the imperial court were the real thorn in his side."
"A few years ago."
"If I remember correctly."
"There has been a change of officials in the court."
"Are those veteran ministers really willing to resign?"
Liu Ji sneered.
He didn't believe that those who were born in high positions would be willing to step down. That was the real power in their hands.
After hearing what Liu Ji said, Xiao He frowned.
He looked at Liu Ji deeply for a few times, and in a daze, he felt that Liu Ji seemed to have a particularly clear understanding of the Qin system.
Liu Ji didn't say much about this.
He is only temporarily holding the position of commander-in-chief in Shouchun. He can't take care of the affairs of the court, so naturally he won't put his mind so far ahead.
Xiao He said: "Liu Ji, how do you think Chu Di will end?"
Hear the words.
Liu Ji's eyes became deeper.
He clasped his chin, a bit of hesitation in his eyes.
He said slowly:
"not sure."
"But at least the nobles are definitely doomed."
"Officials big and small in the Chu region will probably not make any big move, but they will kill some of them. As for the others, that should be the case."
"The prestige of the Tenth Young Master will be very high in Chu."
"However, we have to wait until the Tenth Young Master leaves to see the situation in the Chu Territory. The officials and some remaining nobles in the Chu Territory will definitely fight back, but the strength may not be as strong as before. Our task then will probably be to suppress it."
"But no matter what, we are all beneficiaries."
"At least we have a share of the land, and we also have a share in the promotion of official positions."
"As for the matters in the court, that's for the Tenth Young Master to worry about. We don't have to think about those things. But if nothing happens after the Tenth Young Master returns, then we can be completely bound to the Tenth Young Master from now on."
"Because the Tenth Young Master will definitely be the Crown Prince of Qin!"
"Although the tenth son will be the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty, in my opinion, it is a certainty, but the courtiers in the court may not be willing, so there will be some recurrences in the end. This incident will have a great impact. If the First Emperor takes action to suppress
, then there is basically no objection.”
"If the First Emperor doesn't come forward and let the Tenth Young Master solve the problem on his own, there will still be some time."
