Chapter 104: Jia Wuyan, made by counties and counties, secretly discussed by the First Emperor!
The speaker has a beard on his chin and a thin face. He is the Qin State's top minister and the famous Yao Jia.
A few years ago, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Han and other countries wanted to unite to deal with Qin. Ying Zheng summoned his officials to discuss the matter, and Yao Jia volunteered to go as an envoy to the four countries.
In the end, Yao Jia fortunately lived up to his fate.
With a pair of sharp teeth and money and treasures, he stopped the four kingdoms from uniting, eliminated an unforeseen catastrophe for the Qin State, and won Ying Zheng to be worshiped as the Supreme Minister.
From this, we can see Yao Jia's ability of speaking.
Moreover, Li Si and Yao Jia were on a mission to Korea together, and they brought Han Fei back together. He had experienced Yao Jia's power at close range, so how could he not be afraid of him?
"Brother Yao also wants to speak?" Li Sidao said.
If possible, he really didn't want to face Yao Jia.
First, the personal relationship between the two is pretty good.
The second is fear of Yao Jia.
Even with the perfect system of prefectures and counties given to him by Ying Chengyu, Li Si did not think he would win.
All schools of thought have their own strengths, but the specialty of famous scholars is debate!
The famous theory that a white horse is not a horse was put forward by a famous scholar.
"The great system in the world can be decided by Tingwei, but not by Jia?"
The positions were different, and his descendants were involved for eternity, and Yao Jia had no intention of retreating.
Li Si took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, please speak."
"Jia asked, when will this Chi Road be completed?"
Li Si's expression changed.
He never expected that Yao Jiaqi was so clever and he immediately saw the only flaw in his plan.
He could only say with a dark face, "It can be as short as five years, or as long as ten years."
"Jia thought that with the help of gods and men, it would take five years for Tingwei to complete the journey. May I ask Tingwei, how can we explain the chaos that has occurred in the past five years?"
Yao Jia spoke neither hurriedly nor slowly, but pressed forward step by step. He had no intention of wanting Li Si to answer.
He did this not to argue with Li Si over a chidao issue, but to argue for enfeoffment.
"Now the princes are first defeated, the world is first settled, and the undercurrent of restoration is still surging. In terms of general trends, if there is trouble in the lands of Zhao, Wei, and Han, it is still possible to stay close to calm the chaos. However, the three lands of Yan, Qi, and Chu are remote and difficult to control. If there is unexpected chaos,
, Xianyang is beyond reach."
"The dangers at this time are similar to those at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty's destruction of the Shang Dynasty. In order to stabilize the world, the Qin Dynasty should temporarily follow the rule of enfeoffment and enfeoff the emperor's princes as feudal princes to guard the remote border areas in order to stabilize the world. This is a temporary plan.
.”
Yao Jia used retreat as an advance. He did not say that he would implement the enfeoffment system completely, but wanted to enfeoff it temporarily.
But the land has been divided, and it is not that easy to come back.
"color!"
The officials cheered.
As soon as Yao Jia came out, he greatly strengthened the confidence of the officials. In terms of words, few schools of thought could compete with the famous ones.
Li Si's heart sank heavily.
In fact, Yao Jia's remarks were not difficult for him, and he could refute them.
But it works this time, but what about next time?
This is the famous Yao Jia!
It's useless to think too much. No matter who stands in front of Si today or doesn't let Si become the prime minister, it won't work!
A sharp look flashed in his eyes, and he was about to speak.
An arrogant voice interrupted him.
"My steps are so majestic!"
Another Qin minister wearing Shangqing's attire came out, seven feet tall, with eyes above his head, facing Yao Jia.
Looking at him like that, he seemed to be going against the famous Yao Jia.
Li Sifu reached his heart and turned his head to look at Ying Cheng.
Seeing Ying Chengyu blinking at him, he felt reassured.
Today I have Lord Chang'an in the court, so I can sit back and relax.
…
A few breaths ago, when Yao Jia had just spoken, Ying Chengyu grabbed the official uniform of a Qin minister next to him and whispered: "Return the favor!"
When Qin Chen sat down, he was half a head shorter than Ying Chengyu. Hearing this, he whispered: "How can I pay it back?"
Ying Chengyu stared closely at Yao Jia, who was slow and leisurely.
"Do you remember the county system I told you about that day?"
Qin Chen looked unhappy.
"Li Sidu remembers it. What can't I remember? Who am I looking down on?"
"Then go ahead and get him!"
"Who? Yao Jia?"
"Yes, redeem him, and you and I will owe nothing to each other."
Qin Chen was silent.
Ying Chengyu thought it was a refusal, because if the Qin Dynasty implemented the enfeoffment system, the Qin minister next to him would definitely get a fiefdom based on merit.
"If you don't want to go, don't worry. I don't like forcing others, so I'll do it myself!"
"Can you argue with Yao Jia?"
"I shouldn't be able to argue, but I want to try." Ying Chengyu said with bright eyes: "For historical figures like you, I am very excited to be able to compete with you in the fields you are good at."
"You are a historical figure! Can you speak human language? Every time you say some unknown words, which makes people angry." Qin Chen looked at Yao Jia and said proudly: "Read well and study hard. I am the one who is arguing about academics."
If I'm not as good as you, I can argue and I'm invincible."
He stood up slowly, and as he stood up, he said in words that only Ying Chengyu could hear: "I still owe you my life. This trip is not to repay your kindness, but to repay your kindness. I am a minister of Qin, and I have eaten Qin Lu
, I should repay Qin’s kindness. I wish there is only Da Qin and only China in this world.”
…
Originally, Yao Jia's appearance had already made all the ministers overjoyed. They were so happy that they almost rose into the air, believing that they had a chance to win.
But the appearance of this seven-foot-tall proud Qin Chen made the mood of the officials drop to the bottom.
Because this Qin minister is called Dun Ruo.
Dunwei was a political strategist in the late Warring States period who was unruly and famous for two things.
One of them saw that Ying Zheng refused to worship him and scolded Ying Zheng's imprisoned mother for being unfilial.
The second one was to alienate the harmony between the kings and ministers of the Zhao Kingdom. He wanted the King of Zhao to move to his own country and defeated Wang Jian, the God of War of the Qin Dynasty, and to make it difficult for the Qin army to advance further.
The life trajectories of Dun Ruo and Yao Jia are highly similar.
Like Yao Jia, he used his mouth and the money given by Ying Zheng to persuade the four countries, and used words and money to break the alliance of the four countries.
The difference between Dun Ruo and Yao Jia lies in the four different countries he lobbied for. Compared with Yao Jia, he had fewer Chu and more Wei.
The lobbying environment was also different. When Yao Jia went out, Ying Zheng blatantly gave him gifts. Everyone in the world knew that Yao Jia was a minister of Qin, which was Ming Dynasty.
When Dun Rui traveled, Ying Zheng did not show up, nor did he admit that Dun Rui was a member of the Qin State. All countries regarded Dun Rui as a white body, which was dark.
Therefore, although both men's achievements were to lobby the four countries.
But compared to Yao Jia, who wears a gold medal "valued by the King of Qin" to avoid death, Dun's weak situation is more dangerous.
"Dun Shangqing? Why did he confront Yao Shangqing?"
"With the power of defeating the weak, it is enough to gain a fiefdom. How could he..."
"Another one like Li Si, who got mad!"
"..."
The ministers were whispering.
The expressions of Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang, Feng Quji and others who had had in-depth exchanges with Yao Jia a few days ago changed.
No wonder we looked for Dunwei, but Dunwei disappeared. He actually didn't want to enfeoff. Now we can only see whether Yao Jia can argue...
"After the Warring States Period, the general trend of the world has become two types of governance: the feudal princes are one, and the prefectures and counties are one. Now, when you are talking about governance, you want to enfeoff first and then change it. If you are not naive and unreasonable, your mind is not right and your heart is not right.
.”
"I dare to ask your Majesty: Once the world is unified and the dynasty is divided into prefectures and counties, when the prefectures and counties come out, can the princes give up the land and return their titles? Today, the court has no princes yet, but it is like this. At that time, it had many soldiers and strategists.
Will the wealth be given away to you?"
Crazy, all crazy!
Zuo Xiang is crazy, Li Si is crazy, Dun Wen is also crazy!
Such things should be tacitly understood in the heart, how can we declare them with our mouths?
While they were speaking weakly and eloquently, the officials' faces became paler and paler, and they peeked at the First Emperor's expression from time to time.
The expression of the First Emperor was the same as before when Li Si said that he was going to repair the palace and the civilians in the imperial mausoleum went to repair the Chi Road. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry, and the officials were even more panicked.
Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang, Feng Quji and other top supporters of the feudal system also became increasingly disheartened.
They have a feeling that today, the county system should win.
Yao Jia's face was no longer calm, and this famous celebrity was turbulent in his heart.
It's not that Dunwei's words were so sharp that he couldn't resist, but that Dunwei dared to speak more than he did.
Dun Rui is just like Li Si, pointing at their noses and saying that they want to rebel in the future and don't act according to the rules.
"At that time, the princes in the world were in charge of political affairs, and the world was in chaos. Do you want chaos? Do you want to govern? Furthermore, the governance of the world should be determined based on the geographical distance and the difficulty of chaos. Those who are easy to govern will be strict, and those who are difficult to govern will be lenient.
, doesn’t it mean to condone the illegality of distant politics and cause chaos? How is the justice of Qin’s laws in governing like this? Where is the righteousness of heaven and earth!”
After Dun's weak argument, Yao Jia looked uncertain. He didn't think he was weaker than Dun.
But when it comes to debating, one person has concerns, and the other dares to say anything. When there is a big gap in level, they can still use technology to make up for it, like him and Li Si.
But in a situation where the level is almost the same, for example, if he and Dun are weak, how can he win?
This is like playing in the King of Glory, Yao Jia King Rank, with 0 inscriptions he can beat Li Si, who is in the diamond rank and has 150 inscriptions.
But against someone who is at least the same king as him and is weak at 150 inscriptions, he will definitely lose.
Yao Jia actually has the intention to quit, but if it continues like this, it seems that he, Yao Jia, is too incompetent.
If I had known that Dunwei was on the side of the county system, I would not have responded to Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang, and Feng Quji's invitation.
Why bother coming when you are old and your reputation is not guaranteed?
"When King Wu of Zhou founded his country, his territory was only two million miles away. When the Qin Dynasty conquered the world, its territory was seven million miles away. It expanded the territory more than three times, all of which were the result of enfeoffment."
Yao-Jia Autonomy was bound to lose, but in order to preserve its reputation, it could not lose so quickly and had to continue exporting.
"Absurd! When King Wu of Zhou founded his country, he had a territory of two million miles. When the Qin Dynasty destroyed Zhou, Zhou only had one city, Luoyi. This is the result of enfeoffment!"
Without thinking, he replied bluntly.
He has never lost to anyone in debates in his life.
The debate between the two men recognized as the most eloquent in Great Qin began.
The ministers held their breath. They all knew that this debate would determine the enfeoffment system and the prefecture and county system.
Even Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang, Feng Quji and others are like this, their hearts and souls are attached to it.
But Ying Chengyu, who had been in high spirits just now, lost interest after listening to the first paragraph of Yao Jia's speech about Dunwei.
Yao Jia's previous speech to Li Si was very aggressive.
But when I spoke to Dunwei just now, I just talked about the benefits of the enfeoffment system.
Based on this alone, Ying Chengyu knew that Yao Jia was timid.
Those who are timid will be defeated!
Ying Chengyu was not interested in a debate whose outcome was already known.
Listening to the heated argument between the two, Ying Chengyu looked at those Fa Sheng who were holding their breath.
When the matter has reached this point, Li Si has not yet allowed these legal practitioners to participate in the discussion.
That proves that the imperial brother did not choose Fa Sheng as the legalist millennium development plan, and the collective brainstorming group proposed the option of counties.
Instead, they chose one country, two systems, with the prefectures and states running in parallel and adding grace orders.
Now the more desperate these people are after being told that they are weak, the more grateful they will be when the prefectures and states are launched in parallel and the grace order is extended later.
Not bad, it meets my expectations perfectly.
Now we just have to wait for the Yao-Jia debate to end, and the ministers to ask the emperor to make a decision, and the emperor shows mercy.
I just don’t understand one thing. If this institutional problem is solved in this way, doesn’t it matter whether I’m present or not?
What does the emperor want to do behind my back?
…
"Jia is speechless."
Yao Jia let out a long sigh and admitted defeat in this peaceful debate.
This long sigh was like the first falling card of a domino, triggering a chain reaction.
All the courtiers sighed deeply in their hearts and looked at Li Si and Dun Rui with hatred.
It was these two people who ruined the eternal blessings of their descendants!
Dunruo smiled proudly and faced the First Emperor on the throne.
The First Emperor looked at Dunrui, with a gleam in his eyes, and said softly: "Dunrui, last time you taught me how to break the alliance, and I promised you the position of minister. Today you teach me how to govern the country, but if you want something, please do as much as you want.
Come on."
Li Si wants to be the prime minister, so what do you want?
The ministers looked sideways, everyone was looking at Dun Rui, and they also wanted to know what reward Dun Ruo would get in exchange for the eternal blessings of their descendants.
The First Emperor was never stingy in rewarding meritorious ministers, a fact that all Qin officials knew.
"Your Majesty, what do you want from me?"
Even in the face of the First Emperor, he still did not change his arrogant nature.
In this Xianyang Palace, Dun Rui faced the First Emperor without raising his hand or saluting him.
He put his hands behind his back, raised his face and looked directly at the First Emperor, and said loudly: "I am weak, I only have one thought, I hope there will be no more arbitrariness in this world! Can Your Majesty be satisfied with being weak?"
