"Go to sleep if you don't understand!" Emperor Shihuang said angrily: "Who wants you to get up?"
Pa~
Ying Chengyu slapped the table.
"Your Majesty, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me. Feng Quji, are you mad? Why did you lift the table? Disturb my sleep!"
Feng Quji, the prime minister in the imperial censor, was qualified to fight against two prime ministers. How could he be afraid of Ying Chengyu?
Hearing this, he smiled and said: "What does it matter if Mr. Chang'an is disturbed in his sleep? It would be better to go to the balcony to sleep after the court is over. Is it possible that he has been fined for three years and his salary is so tight that he can't even go to the balcony?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Feng Quji, the censor Shi Zhongcheng, still has a lot of face.
When a modern boss tells a joke, whether it is funny or not, the subordinates should laugh. This was also true in ancient times.
At that moment, many Qin officials laughed out loud.
There were more than a hundred ministers in total, and twenty or thirty were laughing. The iceberg atmosphere in the court instantly thawed and turned into a pool of spring water.
Ying Chengyu was satisfied.
Of course, this was not the result of Ying Chengyu alone, but could not have been achieved without the cooperation of the emperor.
When the first few ministers laughed out loud, the First Emperor's face instantly turned ugly.
Then no one in this hall would dare to laugh out loud.
"Hmph! Who said I can't go? You will go with me after the court is over!" Ying Chengyu snorted coldly.
"Mr. Chang'an is so powerful to me, why didn't you support the steward last night? I heard that the steward committed suicide on the spot last night. Although the doctors from the Imperial Medical Office arrived in time, he is still in a coma, and I don't know if he can be saved. "
Feng Quji's expression remained unchanged and he continued.
"You're looking for a fight!"
Ying Chengyu, full of shame and annoyance, rushed over to beat Feng Quji.
"Xin, let's join hands with you!" Li Xin suddenly stood up and stopped in front of Feng Quji in a flash.
Ying Chengyu stopped in time. Although he had a look of shame and annoyance on his face, he no longer mentioned beating Feng Quji.
"Cowardly little fellow!" Li Xin glanced at Ying Chengyu contemptuously.
This sentence made Ying Chengyu blush and look like he was going to pounce on him in the next second.
Li Xin waited for Ying Chengyu to make the first move.
If Meng Tian hadn't come to him for a drink after the meeting that day, he would have beaten Ying Chenglong violently.
"Zhao Gao." The voice of the First Emperor spread throughout the hall.
"I'm here." Zhao Gao responded respectfully.
"Qin Law, how can private fighters be punished?"
"Those who fight privately will be punished according to the severity of the punishment. The lighter ones will be sentenced to ten months in prison, and the more severe ones will have their heads displayed in public."
This exchange between the king and his ministers was meant for Ying Chengxuan and Li Xin.
Ying Chengyu sneered and said: "Your Majesty is afraid that you will be beaten to death by me, so I will spare your life."
The ministers burst into laughter again.
This time, there were fifty or sixty people laughing.
The laughter spread to the walls of Xianyang Hall, and was knocked back and echoed in the hall.
Li Xin was killed by mountains of swords and seas of blood, and he was also a candidate for general during the war.
Ying Chengxuan's words were undoubtedly regarded by the ministers as a way to save face and to be tough.
Li Xin snorted, not even bothering to argue.
The First Emperor looked at the domineering Li Xin and said silently in his heart: If I don't stop him, he can really beat you to death.
Ying Chengyu and Li Xin each returned to their seats.
This farce ends here.
But the atmosphere in the court at this moment was completely different from before Ying Chengyu spoke.
The ministers were all ready and gearing up, their ears pricked up, and they looked at Li Si with hatred.
County system, right?
The best of both worlds, right?
Come on, come on, tell me quickly!
If they were sure it wasn't the First Emperor's order, then they would have to argue with Li Si.
"Li Si, continue." The First Emperor looked over.
"Wei." Li Si responded.
Staring hard at Ying Chengyu who interrupted him, Li Si continued to talk: "The husband's county belongs to the court. The county belongs to the county, and one county has several to ten counties. Within one county, there are County Sheriff, County Lieutenant, County Supervisor. The County Sheriff is the head of a county and is in charge of government affairs. The County Lieutenant is in charge of military affairs. The County Supervisor is in charge of supervision. If the county has problems, it can be consulted by the county. If the county cannot decide, it can be reported to the court. Hall. The county and county officials are determined by His Majesty's words. In this way, the world will be settled."
Before Li Si, this kind of governance had not appeared.
The county system had been proposed a long time ago, but it was Li Si who created the idea of putting counties into counties and having them administered by the court.
Prior to this, the county had two explanations:
The first type is the city on the border used to defend against foreign enemies.
For example, Shangjun, where Ying Fusu was exiled in history, was built to resist the Hu people. The scope of this kind of county will be larger than that of ordinary counties, but its status is not as high as that of counties. It can be understood as a semi-military building.
The second type is county-owned land.
"Yi Zhou Shu Zuo Luo" says: There are hundreds of counties across thousands of miles, and there are four counties in the county. That is to say, there are four counties within a thousand miles, and one county has four counties.
No matter what kind of county it is, it is different from the county Li Si mentioned.
According to the upper-lower management method of the feudal system and the county system proposed by Shang Yang, Li Si finally invented the county system that lasted for more than a thousand years in China.
The system of prefectures and counties was continued by later dynasties until the Song Dynasty.
Although the name was changed several times in the middle, such as changing "county" to "state", or adding a level of administrative unit between counties and counties to be called "dao", they were all changes in the soup without changing the medicine. In essence, it is still the county-county system. set.
The reason why the Yuan Dynasty did not use the county system and created the provincial system was to suppress the development of the Han people. This article has nothing to do with it and will not be explained here.
In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang reversed course and instituted the enfeoffment system. Later, Zhu Di raised an army and proclaimed himself emperor and immediately cut down the vassals. In the end, he relied on the system of counties and counties.
The eighteen inland provinces of the Qing Dynasty were governed entirely according to the county system.
Including our current provincial, municipal, and county institutions, they are actually still based on the county system.
The county system proposed by Li Si has lasted for two thousand years, which is enough to prove how advanced this system is.
Although when Li Si first proposed it, the county system he mentioned was not that complete.
But there is no doubt that this system is advanced and feasible, conducive to the long-term unification of China, and conducive to the control of the country by the First Emperor.
However, this system of prefectures and counties, which lasted throughout China's entire feudal dynasty, encountered significant resistance from officials at the time.
Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang, Feng Quji and other giants did not make any move. They still had to figure out what the First Emperor meant.
But under the signal from their eyes, some courtiers stood up.
These ministers were not afraid of offending the First Emperor. Even if they were offended, they would not die.
The first one to jump out and look for trouble is Ying Chengyu. If you want to have an operation, it's Ying Chengyu.
I saw Li Si, a direct subordinate of Tingwei who was affiliated with Tingwei Mansion and had a salary of one thousand stone years, standing up and cupping his hands.
"I dare to ask Li Tingwei, who has used this system? Where was it used? When was it used?"
The duty of Ting Weizheng is to assist Ting Wei. To put it simply, he is the deputy Ting Wei.
If Tingwei is not here, Tingwei is the biggest in Tingwei's mansion.
Li Si looked at his subordinates with cold eyes.
The first person to stand up and object was Ting Weizheng of Tingwei Mansion. This was undoubtedly a slap in Li Si's face.
"Your Majesty will use it! Use it in Qin! It will be used at this time!"
The struggle between the feudal system and the prefecture and county system in the Qin Dynasty began.
Ying Chengyu exhaled inwardly - his hard work was not in vain, and finally began to make different sounds.
