Chapter 102: Cheng Yu hides the edge, the Meng family exerts its strength!
Faced with Wei Zhuang's unabashed words, Li Si was not polite and made his position clear in just one sentence.
"I would like to ask, Prime Minister Zuo, is this world your Majesty's or yours?"
Li Si gave two options, but in fact there was only one choice - Wei Zhuang could only choose the former.
If you choose the latter, you are not seeking fiefdom, but seeking death.
But choosing the former does not mean everything is safe. As long as Wei Zhuang said these five words, "It is your Majesty's world," Li Si will continue to attack: Since the left prime minister said that it is your Majesty's world, how can you put Your Majesty in the world if you want to divide it?
Where? Where are you?
Wei Zhuang was the Zuo Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, so it was not easy to be tricked.
There is only one choice you gave, so I will fill in another answer.
He cupped his fists and gestured to Ying Zheng, saying loudly: "This is your Majesty's world, and it is also the world of everyone in the world."
This response was watertight and spoke with great righteousness. It did not fall into Li Si's language trap and once again insisted on its own position.
"What the Prime Minister Zuo said is true!"
Censor Zhongcheng Feng Quji finally came to his senses, and without any hesitation, he stood up suddenly from behind the desk.
"Your Majesty is the king and father, and we are all your Majesty's ministers and sons. We should share your worries and solve your problems! Now that the chaos has begun, the world wants to be governed, and the refugees want to return. We, the common people who travel to study, feel the pain of the world's lack of governance. For this reason
, I sincerely hope that your majesty, the feudal princes, will be our good assistants, and we will control the four directions, so that the world will be governed and the people will return. In this way, the world will be settled and the Qin Dynasty will last for thousands of years!"
Prime Minister on the left, Prime Minister on the right, and Prime Minister on the left.
The top three civil servants in the court were united in spirit, each expounding his own opinions, fully expounding the necessity and benefits of the enfeoffment system.
Ying Chengyu took care of all the ministers in Zhou Dynasty.
He saw that every minister was ready to move and had the desire to stand up.
Ying Chengyu sighed.
This scene was something he had never imagined.
What happened made Wei Xiang pierce the window paper.
Doesn't he know that if he wins this debate about the county system, he will not be unjust if he dies?
Wei Zhuang, the left prime minister, has a great reputation and high prestige.
He stood up to break the tacit understanding between the king and his ministers and brought the matter of fiefdom to the table, which created the alpha-wolf effect.
The ministers will no longer care. They will follow the wolf in the shape of Wei and charge bravely, sparing no effort.
If you win, everyone will get the land.
If defeated, the leading bird will be shot with a spear, and Wei Xiang will inevitably die, but the ministers will still be safe.
Soon, a senior minister with an annual salary of two thousand dan, who was not a nine-level minister, stood up and said: "Federalization is a great system that has existed in China since ancient times. Without enfeoffment, it is not enough to stabilize the Qin Dynasty!"
Another minister stood up and said: "With the power of Xia, Shang, and the three dynasties, and the plans of countless forefathers and sages, there can be enfeoffment. Li Tingwei said he disagreed, but he thought that his thoughts were worth more than three dynasties.
What are the thoughts of a hundred sages?"
"Cai!" All the officials shouted to each other.
"This system of prefectures and counties is an expansion of the county system. How can you plan for the world if you plan to rule one place?"
"The heirs of the princes, heroes and ministers guard the frontiers, defend against enemy invaders externally, and treacherous traitors internally. This is the law passed down by our ancestors for thousands of years, and the law of our ancestors cannot be changed."
"In the land of the Six Kingdoms, the people still miss their homeland, and uprisings and rebellions emerge one after another. If you want to mobilize troops from Xianyang to exterminate them, the traitors will have already gone by then. If there are people nearby who are princes and have military power, they can be suppressed in time. Please entrust your Majesty with enfeoffment!"
"..."
The Qin Dynasty's court was like a pot of boiling water, gurgling and bubbling out.
Every courtier is a bubble, fighting to burst and express what is on his mind.
They come with force and passion.
Before he finished speaking, that one had already stood up.
Xianyang Hall has never been so lively, and the voices inside are endless without stopping.
The ministers supported the feudal system while criticizing Li Si.
Li Si only had time to ask a question before he was beaten to death by the tsunami-like wave.
No matter how eloquent he is, no matter how frustrated he is, there is no use for him at this moment - he doesn't even have a chance to speak.
He could only shut up and sit down silently, waiting for the ministers to finish venting, and for this wave to roll over.
Before that, he had no choice.
He used to be a respected Jiuqing Tingwei with considerable power in the court.
Today, it is nothing.
He was like a clay and wood dummy. No matter how much drool fell, he could only do it on his own. He couldn't even hold up an umbrella.
Li Si stood quietly in the rain, waiting for the wind to stop and the rain to stop. This was the only thing he could do.
His fighting spirit has not been low, but has become more high-spirited.
He was waiting, waiting for the moment when he would shine like the scorching sun in Xianyang Palace.
Although at this moment, he felt a little disappointed in his heart...
This is true for all lonely ministers, Li Si, you should have known this.
Li Si laughed at himself.
He didn't know how long he had to wait, whether for a cup of tea, a stick of incense, or half an hour.
But he knew he had no choice but to wait.
If you want to stop the ministers, only the First Emperor can do it, but the First Emperor cannot end at this moment.
Before the great debate between the enfeoffment system and the county system came to an end, the First Emperor's entry was biased and he was taking sides.
This is a lonely battle that only belongs to him, Li Si, for his dream of becoming prime minister.
However, a sound of thunder and banging suddenly sounded.
Soon, the impassioned speeches of the officials turned into exclamations and angry accusations.
"What are you doing, Lord Chang'an!"
"Ying Chengyu! How dare you turn this case on my desk!"
"You are such a bastard, you are not a son of man!"
"..."
The rain of saliva in the sky disappeared early, and Li Si was rescued.
Li Si was shocked both physically and mentally.
He turned around and saw Ying Chengyu wandering among the crowd in anger, overturning every table in front of him.
The desk flipped around, hitting either one minister's foot or another one's arm, causing all the ministers to jump in confusion.
The most irritating thing is that Ying Chengyu didn't lift the case of any military general, so he went to lift the case of the older civil servants whose strength was declining and couldn't defeat him - Ying Chengyu only bullied the old.
These old men could not defeat Ying Chengxiu, nor could they stop him from continuing to do what he did. They could only angrily rebuke and curse.
A peaceful and solemn remonstration meeting suddenly turned Ying Chengyu into a scolding shrew in the market.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The officials are in a hurry.
Desks were scattered in all directions.
Longxi Marquis Li Xin snorted coldly and was about to set off to stop this farce.
Suddenly, a steady and strong hand placed on his shoulder, exerting downward force to prevent him from standing up.
"Brother Xin, can you please sit down?" Meng Tian said warmly.
But the irresistible attitude in those words and the gradually increasing power in his palm were not gentle at all.
It's said to be an inquiry, but it's actually a notification.
Li Xin is not afraid of Meng Tian, but he respects Meng Tian.
He always believed that the attack on Chu was defeated, and if it hadn't been for Meng Tian, he would have been buried deep in the earth at this moment.
Although he was a little surprised as to why Meng Tian helped Ying Chengyu, this did not delay his acceptance of Meng Tian.
"Brother, believe in what you say and listen to it."
Wang Ben watched, frowning, wanting to take action but not sure if he should, so he looked at his father sitting next to him.
Wei Zhuang is not afraid of death. This opportunity is once in a lifetime, but this Zhuzi went crazy at this time. What a bad thing!
Wang Jian, who no longer closed his eyes and fell asleep, flashed a trace of anger in his eyes, and nodded at Wang Ben.
The greatest military meritorious figure in the Qin Dynasty, after Wei Zhuang, the Hu prime minister who was not afraid of death, broke the window paper, he finally decided to enter the court and support the enfeoffment system!
Wang Ben got Wang Jian's permission and stood up halfway.
A big hand appeared out of nowhere and pressed directly on Wang Ben's shoulder, forcibly pressing down this man who was second only to his father in terms of military merit in the Qin Dynasty!
"My dear nephew, would you please sit down?" Meng Wu said warmly.
The undeniable meaning in those words, and the constant blessing power on his arm, are even more so for his eldest son, Meng Tian!
Wang Ben didn't respond and turned to look at Wang Jian's expression.
Wang Jian looked extremely solemn.
He looked at this old friend who had never made any great achievements in his life, and now his official position and title were not as good as those of his eldest son, who was enlisted in the same batch as him, and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by the Duke?"
Meng Wu, the head of the Meng family who had never been famous throughout his life and had the least sense of existence, grinned widely.
Although there was no sound, anyone could tell that Meng Wu was laughing!
Meng Wu pressed Wang Ben with his right hand and pointed at himself with his left hand. He laughed silently until tears flowed down his face.
"The meaning of Meng Wu."
Wang Jian had never seen Meng Wu like this before. In fact, he had never thought highly of this military commander who was of the same period as him.
If the Meng family did not have Meng Ao, who had outstanding merits and served the Qin kings of the four dynasties, still alive, Wang Jian would not even bother to talk to Meng Wu.
Born in the Meng family, he was taught by Bai Qi, the Lord of Wu'an, and taught by words and deeds by Duke Meng. Meng Wu, whose military exploits were mediocre, was not worthy of the respect of his king, Jian.
Therefore, although Wang Jian felt that Meng Wu at this moment made him feel a little strange.
But as soon as he heard that Meng Ao didn't mean it, Wang Jian's eyes stood up.
"Jian doesn't follow your wishes."
Under the gaze of the Great Qin War God who wanted to kill, Meng Wu placed his left hand on the Great Qin War God's shoulder.
"In the battlefield, I am not as good as you in martial arts. Today in the court, you are not as good as in martial arts. If the Marquis of Wucheng doesn't believe it, you can give it a try."
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
Wang Jian narrowed his eyes, thinking about the new grandson he named Wang Li, thinking about the Wucheng fief he already had, and thinking whether he could stop Ying Chengyu would not affect the enfeoffment or the outcome of the dispute between counties and counties.
So the great Qin military leader stabbed Meng Wu with his eyes as sharp as a sword, and said coldly: "Wang Jian only knows about Meng Wu today."
Wang Ben, the second most decorated soldier in the Great Qin Dynasty, would not say anything more when he saw his father acting like this.
Meng Wu did not answer Wang Jian's words.
He pressed Wang Jian with his left hand and Wang Ben with his right hand. In recent years, many people felt that the Wang family, which was newly promoted to the first military family in the Qin Dynasty, should not act rashly.
The mediocre previous head of the Wang family looked at Ying Chengyu, who was still making a fuss, and said with a smile in a voice that only he could hear: "Little King Qin, you are very angry."
In the court, for every general who wanted to stop this farce, another general would appear next to him.
Those who appeared later were either members of the Meng family or military generals who had old ties to the Meng family. Every one of them was very polite and courteous.
They would ask the general who wanted to stand up gently: "How about sitting down?"
answer.
It's good for you and me.
Shouldn't.
The generals' pupils shrank suddenly and they looked at Meng Wu, who was pressing Wang Jian with his left hand and Wang Ben with his right hand. Who dared to resist?
There were just one or two generals who were unyielding, unruly and determined to break free.
When the second Mongolian general, the third Mongolian general, and the fourth Mongolian general came over.
When he asked in a warm voice, "How about sitting down?", eight strong arms pressed down on his shoulders.
These two angry generals could hardly even breathe. How could they stand up and say "no"?
Meng family, Meng Wu, bring the Meng family members to the entrance.
Not for the aloof First Emperor, but for the very temperamental Little King Qin.
After this court meeting, the Qin State no longer had any dispute over whether the first military family in the Qin Dynasty was the Meng family or the Wang family.
The First Emperor took in everything below.
He looked at Ying Cheng and the Meng family exerting their strength, a trace of disappointment and a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
Disappointed, Ying Chengxuan stood up at this time and was satisfied with what the Meng family had done.
This criticism is what Li Si deserves, so why bother to explain it to him?
If Li Siruo can't even bear this, how can he deserve to enjoy the position of prime minister?
Although Cheng Xi's character was much stronger than Fu Su's, he was still kind-hearted and soft-hearted in the end.
After his father left, Meng Wu followed him to become Xian Zangfeng.
It's a happy event to get up today.
Now that Meng Wu has risen, I don’t believe it. If I don’t have Wang Jian and Wang Bi, I can’t conquer the Huns and Baiyue!
"Are you bullying people? Li Si said a few words for me, and then you all attacked him? He's coming after me, right? Nian nian nian, what the hell!"
When Ying Chengyu heard that no one in the palace was giving any more advice, he sat down on the table, crossed his legs, and pointed his nostrils to the sky, loudly rebuking the ministers.
All the officials were speechless.
Are you worthy of being someone with the same level of knowledge as you?
But they knew that talking to a scoundrel like Ying Chengyu was nonsense, so they all surrendered and complained.
"I ask your majesty to drive Ying Chengyu out of the palace! To set the course for the dynasty!"
"If you disturb the order of the court, I will also ask you to do so!"
"Your Majesty, if this son is not punished, there is no justice!"
Peng~
The First Emperor retook the throne and became furious.
"What does it have to do with you, the prince, when you discuss important national affairs? Zongzheng! You don't have to pay this prince ten years' salary!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zong Zheng stood up and responded: "Wei!"
Ying Chengyu was shocked and said: "Ah? Ten years! Your Majesty doesn't want it! I know I'm wrong!"
The First Emperor said angrily: "If you still dare to make a noise, I will give you another year!"
Ying Chengyu opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't dare to, so he sat down dejectedly.
The ministers were very happy and laughed loudly in the messy Xianyang Palace.
Deserve it!
Ten years of salary!
Look, what has this guy been eating and drinking in the past ten years?
Neishi Mengyi looked at the laughing faces of the courtiers and felt that these courtiers were like monkeys being played by others, which was very funny.
To this day, colored glaze is still a valuable item and has not become widespread.
Then the ten-year salary that you value so much is just a matter of selling a few pieces of colored glaze to Lord Chang'an who masters the art of making colored glaze?
Thinking of this, Meng Yi suddenly covered his entire face with one hand. He felt extremely ashamed.
If Meng Wu had not told him yesterday that Ying Chengyu invented colored glaze, then today, he would also be a monkey.
He suddenly understood the image of these people in Ying Chengyu's mind: they were all monkeys.
Wei Zhuang's heart sank heavily.
I exerted my momentum in one go, then weakened again, and finally exhausted three times. Lord Chang'an cut off the momentum I had built up with my own life!
He did such a great thing with his actions. The elder Anjun has really been hiding his own clumsiness and self-destruction all these years!
He made such a big fuss, but His Majesty couldn't bear to punish him. How many pieces of glassware are worth ten years of salary?
What I thought was indeed correct. Great Qin has had a tradition of brotherhood and brotherhood since ancient times.
The Second Emperor of Qin is not the eldest son, but the Lord of Chang'an!
I cannot seek a fief from Your Majesty now, and when the vicious Lord Chang'an comes to power, there will be no possibility of a fief.
If Ying Chengyu knew that Wei Zhuang was determined to pierce the window today because he, a man who wholeheartedly gave hope to his ministers, broke the hope of Wei Zhuang, I don't know how he would feel.
Wei Zhuang is about to get the situation back on track.
In his ears, he heard hoarse and hoarse shouting.
He turned his eyes sharply and saw that the owner who made the sound was none other than Tingwei Li Si.
Li Si, thank you very much.
He knew some details about Ying Chengyu, and naturally also knew why Ying Chengyu did what he did - Ying Chengyu was helping him, helping him get into his rhythm as soon as possible and launch his argument as early as possible.
Only the First Emperor could stop the officials.
Only Ying Chengyu can do it to make the officials stop making trouble.
As a great Qin Tingwei, one of the Nine Qings.
If Li Si still loses control at this juncture and fails to seize the opportunity created by Ying Chengyu, then he can commit suicide and meet his senior brother Han Fei who is dead in his heart.
Lord Chang'an has done so much for you, that's enough!
I, Li Si, will be shameless today and sit down as a book-backer.
Now I will let you take a look at what the county system is.
Amidst the loud laughter in the hall, Li Si screamed at the top of his voice.
"From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, for hundreds of years, you abandoned etiquette, threw away musical instruments, and picked up pots and broken cauldrons as treasures. Over the years, the mountains have fallen into deep valleys, and the deep valleys have grown into hills."
"The country is changing, the monarch is changing, the government is changing, the people are changing, the laws are changing, everything is changing, hundreds of rivers and streams merge into the sea, and eventually the tide changes."
"During this period, hundreds of schools of thought were surging, competing to explore the way to govern the country. Are Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism, and Taoism the same as the original theories created by Confucius, Mozi, Lizi, and Laozi?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of several ministers present suddenly changed slightly. They wanted to say something, but before they could speak, Li Si's voice continued to reach their ears.
"No! Hundreds of schools of thought have changed to a point that no one can recognize! Why? Survive of the fittest and seek change! Hundreds of schools of thought will eventually lead to a great tide of reform."
"What is the reform? Change the country, change the way of governance, change livelihoods, and change the people. In a word, change the meaning of world civilization! There are ever-changing changes, and the axis lies in the style of governance. The style of governance is like the soil.
The rest are like tangerines. If tangerines grow in Huainan, they become tangerines. If tangerines grow in the north of Huaihe, they will become tangerines. If the land remains unchanged, how can tangerines become oranges?"
"The feudal princes split the land and divided the country, which led to continuous wars and endless turmoil in the world. People thought about governance, and people thought about unity. They thought about the unification of the world, they thought about governing with one law, and they thought about abandoning feudalism. Xia, Shang and Zhou
At that time, the aspiration for the unification of the world was still in its infancy and had not yet gathered into a great tide, so the forefathers and sages failed to discern the general trend!"
"Today's world, if we really practice feudal lordship, it will be tantamount to abandoning the hearts and minds of the people of the world. It will be tantamount to replanting the roots of division and rule, abandoning China's exploration of more than five hundred years and returning to the old path! You have already deprived yourself of the emperor's salary.
, If you don’t repay your kindness, how can you still be a human being? Sticking to one’s family’s studies without considering the current situation is no different from carving a boat to seek a sword!”
Li Si's voice was impassioned and his whole person was full of high morale. He stood in the central hall and looked around at everyone with a look of arrogance.
