"Han Feizi" has a saying: Those who are in control can unite the weak to attack one strong one. Hegemony means making one strong to attack the weak.
Whether vertically or horizontally, they are all preparing for attack and killing.
Strategists are the same as military strategists. The more chaotic the world is, the more intense the disputes. The more active the strategist is, the more useful his tactics will be.
At a time when all schools of thought hope that their own theories will last for thousands of years and become the mainstream theories in the world.
The disciples of the strategist family are weak, but they hope that there will be no more strategists in the world.
The Confucian Chun Yue, the Confucian Fu Sheng, the Legalist Li Si, the Taoist Tang Zhen, the famous Yao Jia...
The children of hundreds of families were all dumbfounded as they looked at the weak but powerful politician, who was not very tall.
This statement was even more unbelievable to them than before when he stood up to support the county system.
What does it mean if Zonghengshu is missing?
It means that the theory of Zongheng has disappeared, and Dun is weak and wants to cut off the inheritance of the Zongheng family.
"Deceive the master and destroy the ancestor!"
"Destroying humanity!"
"Treasonous!"
"..."
The First Emperor did not express his opinion, and the ministers did not dare to curse loudly. They all cursed in a low voice, using all the curses they knew.
This act of weakening was equivalent to killing his own parents at the time, and he was despised by everyone in the world.
But the people of this world do not include the First Emperor.
The First Emperor stared at the rude Dun Rui for a long time, then suddenly he patted the throne and burst into laughter. The laughter was so loud that the dust on the beams of the Xianyang Palace was shaken.
"Hahahahahaha! You are so mad that you don't bow to the king when you see him. You are indeed qualified not to bow to me! You are qualified not to bow to anyone in this world! Why don't I dare to respond to your request? I will allow you to do this. The last strategist in this world!"
The theory of political strategists is a theory of division and struggle in troubled times.
The absence of political strategists means that the world remains the same and there is no more division and separatism.
The politicians were weak, and they never paid tribute to the First Emperor.
At the moment when the First Emperor said that he was qualified not to salute anyone, he frowned and put away the arrogance in his bones.
He knelt down on his knees, spread out his hands, and knocked his head, always proud, on the altar of Xianyang Hall.
Qin Li did not kneel down. Dunwei, who had never bent down in his life, made the most humble kneeling salute to the First Emperor.
"Qin Chen is weak, and on behalf of all the people in the world, and on behalf of the people of China for generations to come, I thank the First Emperor."
Gai Nie, who was protecting the First Emperor, looked extremely humble and weak looking at his attitude and movements.
In the past, the sword master who was either saying "licking the dog" or "how can a man do this" in his heart silently held the sword at his waist.
Man, this is how it should be!
Li Si was greatly shocked and ashamed. He really wanted to ignore it and run out and kneel on the ground with Dun Rui.
But he thought that he would soon get the coveted position of prime minister.
Thinking about my hard work over the past few decades.
Thinking of the noble king and disciples at home.
Si, it can’t be done!
"Hahahaha! Okay! I accept it! You don't want to reward me, but I want to reward you! I will promote you to the third level, a mansion, ten thousand gold, ten pairs of jade, a hundred concubines, ten beauties, and an annual salary of five Thousand stones!”
The officials were in an uproar, and all the civil servants and military generals spoke out against it.
"Your Majesty, no! Qin law stipulates that anyone above the fifteenth rank must obtain military merit before they can be promoted!"
"Your Majesty is already the 16th-level Grand Shangqiao. If you want to be promoted to the third level, you will be the Marquis of Guannei. It is unreasonable to be granted the title of Marquis without outstanding military achievements!"
"I have earned a title through many days of bloody battles. It is unfair to just open my mouth and say for half an hour that I am so much superior to you!"
The First Emperor patted the throne and stood up suddenly, his face showing no anger but no authority!
"Noisy!"
If you compare Xianyang Palace to a large iron pot with boiling water constantly bubbling.
The first emperor's "noise" was like pouring a ladle of cold water into a large iron pot.
The water no longer rolls, and the court no longer noisy.
"The Marquis of Guannei, it is indeed inappropriate." The First Emperor muttered, observing the expressions of the ministers.
The voice passed down.
All the ministers thought that the First Emperor changed his mind and lowered Dunwei's title because of their feelings.
Everyone has a look of disgust on their face - you hurt everyone by being weak, don't even think about feeling too comfortable!
Ying Chengyu looked at the light in the eyes of the First Emperor and was speechless.
childish.
"Feng Dunruo as the Marquis of Che, and give him the title of Zongheng!"
In the Great Qin Empire, since Wang Jian was granted the title of Chehou, the second Chehou was born - Zonghenghou Dunwei!
The officials were stunned, confused and in disbelief.
Your Majesty, can you make Dunruo the Marquis of Che?
If we object, instead of going down, we will go up?
Ying Chengyu sighed.
Just knew it was so.
Li Si regretted it too much.
Just kneel down.
"His Majesty!"
He stood up weakly, patted the soil on his knees, and returned to his proud attitude.
"The title and title are weak, and the fiefdom is not worth it."
The position of Chehou should have a fiefdom.
For example, Wang Jian, the Marquis of Wucheng, whose fiefdom was Wucheng.
"Fiefdom?" Ying Zheng looked at the ministers and said, "In the future of Great Qin, there will be no fiefdom."
Xianyang Palace was shaken violently!
Wang Wan, Feng Quji and others seemed to have aged ten years.
There is death in the Wei-shaped face.
Wang Jian nodded towards Meng Wu, glad that he was blocked by Meng Wu just now.
Guo Wei Wei Liao, an old man, touched the rough table with his hands and said in words that only he could hear: "I have long seen that Your Majesty is a man with accurate bees, long eyes, sincere birds, the sound of jackals, a little kindness but a tiger's heart. Li Si and Your Majesty, you are like Shang Yang to Duke Xiao of Qin."
Most of the twenty-seven doctors who just stood up, from various aristocratic families, had similar thoughts.
If we hadn't earned tens of millions of money and heard that we couldn't entrust them, our hearts would be filled with despair today.
Since His Majesty has been aware of this matter recently, we will wait until the wind blows.
There are also a large number of Qin officials, looking at the seat where the eldest son Ying Fusu was sitting.
I am still young, not as old as those on the left and right, so I can afford it.
If your majesty cannot divide the land, then we can wait until the eldest son comes to power.
Everyone had different thoughts and ulterior motives, but the ministers had already expected this result and were not surprised.
Only Ying Chengyu was surprised, he was even a little confused.
No fiefdom?
What about one country, two systems?
What about the parallel system of counties and states?
And what about the order of grace?
Although the system of counties and counties has argued over the enfeoffment system, if you don’t take legalist detours, most people will still think that Li Si is your trumpet!
Wouldn't this make the officials dissatisfied with you?
How can dissatisfied ministers quickly help you rule the world?
Except Fusu is still there, isn't Daqin still following the old path?
no! The royal brother must have been cowardly and said he was having fun! I made a slip of the tongue and forgot all this. I have to come back!
"I disagree!"
Taking advantage of the fact that the First Emperor did not say the words "prefecture and county system" himself, Ying Chengyu jumped up and shouted loudly, attracting the attention of the whole audience.
What's this guy going to do again?
Yes! Your Majesty visits the county! This guy doesn't have any land!
The ministers' eyes lit up.
Bring up a glimmer of hope.
They thought Ying Chengyu was very hateful just now, but now they think Ying Chengyu is very cute.
"Oh? Do you have any objections again?"
“I don’t care whether other people give them their land or not, I have to have it anyway!”
Ministers: Is this what people say? This guy is not cute at all!
But when they said this in their hearts, there was still a glimmer of hope in their eyes.
As long as one person has a fiefdom, then basically everyone has it.
Although most of them knew very well in their hearts that the First Emperor would definitely refuse sternly - with the First Emperor's arbitrary nature, there was no reason to change his mind for Ying Chengyu.
"Since you want a fiefdom, then I will fief Yongdi to you."
Yongdi...
As expected, this will not make His Majesty change his decision.
The ministers sighed, thinking that Ying Zheng's words were a joke.
Yongdi is the seat of the Qin State's ancestral temple, and its status in the Qin State is even higher than that of Xianyang.
The place in the world that is least likely to be enfeoffed is Yongdi.
Ying Chengyu's expression condensed. Looking at the half serious and half joking face of the First Emperor, he finally understood what the First Emperor had planned.
Brother Huang, do you want to break the bet? Impossible, I want Zhao Xianglu to die in Yongdi!
"Yongdi holds the tablets of ancestors of all dynasties. It is the ancestral land of our Qin country. How dare I ask for it? Your Majesty, you are not sincere at all." Ying Chengyu complained.
This Shuzi still has some self-awareness.
The ministers secretly thought in their hearts.
I knew it was so.
A trace of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the First Emperor.
"You have to be sincere, okay, I will give you sincerity!"
The First Emperor's crown and robes fluttered, and there was no wind. He shouted loudly, like spring thunder!
The hearts of the ministers quickened, and they all saluted the first emperor in history.
Although the final outcome was known, the First Emperor did not pronounce the final verdict. They always had a sense of luck - what if His Majesty chose the enfeoffment system?
Ying Chengyu stared at the First Emperor. He could still make jokes to stop the First Emperor, but it was meaningless.
As long as the First Emperor is determined, he can achieve his goal by going back to Zhangtai Palace to draft an imperial edict. Ying Chengyu cannot always follow the First Emperor.
Brother Emperor, you wouldn’t be so hasty about national affairs, right?
"The theory of governance can be divided into enfeoffment and prefectures and counties! Now the princes have decided that the prefectures and counties will prevail, and the Qin system will be prefectures and counties!"
The verdict was pronounced.
A few are happy but many are sad.
All the ministers were filled with sorrow, and they mustered up their spirits and said against their will: "Your Majesty is wise.
Li Si was extremely excited and shouted with relief: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Dunwei stood proudly, his seven-foot body like a ten thousand-foot giant, and said with his hands behind his back: "This is a very good move."
Wang Wan, Feng Quji, and other senior officials of Qin Chen forced themselves to hide the disappointment on their faces, and put their hope in Ying Fusu, who had been ill for a long time. They revived their spirits and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Wei Zhi's face looked ashen, and his originally strong body suddenly became weak and weak!
If it weren't for Wang Wan and Feng Quji to hold him up, Wei Zhuang would have fallen down!
Back then, Shang Yang fought with the nobles of the old Qin people, and Duke Xiao of Qin chose Shang Yang. The nobles of the old Qin people were defeated, and the blood of the noble people of the old Qin dyed the river red!
When Bai Qi and Fan Ju were competing, King Qin Zhaoxiang chose Fan Ju.
Bai Qi was defeated. Tu, a generation of people who had never been defeated on the battlefield, Lord Wu'an of Qin, who had fought for the Qin Dynasty all his life, committed suicide in Lord Wu'an's palace with the sword of the King of Qin!
Now, Wei Zhuang and Li Si were fighting, the First Emperor chose Li Si, and Wei Zhuang lost.
In the struggles that have been put on the table throughout the ages, the loser can only die!
The foreign prime minister was so angry that he smiled sadly and said: "Your Majesty is wise."
No matter what they thought in their hearts, all the ministers recognized the First Emperor with their mouths at this moment.
But the First Emperor's eyes did not stay on any of his ministers, he only focused on Ying Chengyu.
The First Emperor felt a sense of relief when he saw his own brother gnashing his teeth and looking like he wanted to beat him.
"You don't cooperate with me, but you still want me to cooperate with you?" the First Emperor said in a normal voice.
But because the platform was too high and the court was too noisy, only Gai Nie and Zhao Gao could hear the First Emperor's words.
Gai Nie's hand holding the sword tightened.
Your Majesty is so impulsive that you really want to strike down the young master with a sword.
Zhao Gao turned his head and looked at Gai Nie.
The God of Plague seemed to want to draw his sword just now. Who did he want to kill?
Ying Chengyu read what the First Emperor was saying through lip reading, so he became angry and evil.
I've gone to great lengths to come up with two surefire strategies for you, so you're just trying to mess with me, aren't you?
Pang Rang~
Ying Chengyu angrily threw a table on the nine steps of Danqi, shocking the officials who were congratulating the First Emperor.
Why is this guy so crazy?
"You're such a sage, this is a public fiefdom!"
The officials were stunned.
This guy is so brave...
Gai Nie's hand let go of the sword.
Your Majesty is better...
Zhao Gao looked sideways in confusion.
Why does Chang'an Jun not want to kill the plague god after causing trouble?
Does this god of plague have some kind of madness and wants to kill people without seeing them causing trouble?
Later, I will ask the imperial doctor if there is any way to cure him. How can such a perverted person protect His Majesty?
Don't go crazy and chop His Majesty down one day...
"Where is Lang Guan?" the First Emperor shouted angrily in a cold voice.
"I'm here!" Two Lang officers who were guarding the palace came in holding arms.
"Blow this guy out of Xianyang Palace!"
"only!"
The two officers walked towards Ying Chengxi and stretched out their hands to catch Ying Chengxi's arms.
"Go away! Mr. Nai will leave on his own!"
Ying Chengyu shook it off impatiently and strode towards the outside of Xianyang Palace.
As he was about to leave the palace, he turned around and looked coldly at the First Emperor, saying: "I will definitely come back!"
The officials made malicious speculations.
This guy, who has been so active in participating in government affairs recently, must have come to attend the court meeting because he has no money to go to the balcony.
Plop~
Before the officials could react.
The left prime minister of the Great Qin Dynasty knelt down on the ground like a king. This foreign prime minister with blue eyes prostrated himself on the ground and said: "I have mistakenly peeked at the divine weapon, and I will die without complaint! I pray that your majesty will see my humble achievements and spare the lives of my three tribes!"
Wei Zhuang knew that he would die, so he only wanted to preserve the three clans and leave his bloodline.
Seeing the actions of Prime Minister Zuo, who was under one person and over ten thousand people in the Qin Dynasty, all the ministers felt sad.
But no one spoke, no one dared to speak, unless they wanted to die with Wei Zhuang!
This is the price of puncturing the window paper and tearing off the fig leaf.
Shoot the first bird!
Failure means death!
The First Emperor looked coldly on this great hero who made the barbarians dare not cross the Great Wall for ten years and allowed the Qin Dynasty to pacify the six kingdoms without any worries. He personally promoted Wei Zheng to the position of Prime Minister Zuo.
"Kui Zhuang, I only have one question for you. As long as you tell the truth, no matter how you play it right, I will accept your request."
Wei Zhuang originally thought that if he committed such a serious crime, the First Emperor would definitely punish other tribes.
He was trying his best to make this request, but he didn't really have much hope, but he didn't expect the First Emperor to agree so easily.
Being able to kill only him and save the lives of everyone in the family is definitely an unexpected surprise for him!
The shape of Wei seems to have been reborn, and the majesty on horseback seems to have been restored! Playing the right words loudly, for fear that the First Emperor would regret it and say: "Your Majesty has asked, and all ministers will respond truthfully. If it is not true, both gods and men will abandon it, and heaven and earth will destroy it!"
"I ask you, which one is suitable for Great Qin, the enfeoffment system or the prefecture and county system?"
Wei Zhuang did not expect the First Emperor to ask this question. In order to protect his family, he instinctively wanted to cater to the First Emperor and answer the question of the county system.
But looking at the serious eyes of the First Emperor, I thought that the First Emperor had never broken his promise, and thought of the poisonous oath he had sworn.
"The enfeoffment system! No matter how impeccable the prefecture and county system created by Li Si is, it is just talk on paper! Zhao Kuo of the Zhao State won the famous general Lian Po and defeated the famous general Zhao She in terms of military tactics. In the actual battle of Changping, he was defeated by Wu Anjun in one blow. He was unbearable. One blow. How is Zhao Kuo's art of war different from Li Si's counties? Without practical use, it is difficult to judge its capabilities!"
"Qin is a great country that has never been seen in ancient times. If you dare to divide it into vassals, you can get at least a thousand years. Qin should seek stability and not be curious. If there is no experience in the system of prefectures and counties, Qin may be able to enjoy it for ten thousand years, or it may be able to live for just ten years. Collapse of the Qin Dynasty. I, the Qin Dynasty, cannot afford to gamble!"
"You really dare to tell the truth." The First Emperor sneered and shouted: "Li Si comes forward."
Li Si's heart was beating rapidly, and his dark face was blood red.
He had a hunch that what he wanted was coming!
"I'm here!"
"Now I consecrate you as Prime Minister Zuo, and temporarily assume the position of Tingwei."
"only!"
There was a hint of tears in Li Si's word "wei".
After going through a lot of hardships and twists and turns.
I, Li Si, finally got the position of prime minister that I dreamed of.
From today on, I am no longer Li Tingwei, but Left Prime Minister Li Si!
"Kui shape."
"Chen, here!"
Wei-like posture with eyes closed and head bowed.
His Prime Minister Zuo has left him, and his life will also leave him!
Wang Wan closed his eyes, Feng Quji closed his eyes, Wang Jian closed his eyes, Wei Liao closed his eyes, all the ministers closed their eyes...
Wei Zhuang died for the feudal system, or it can be said that he died for their common interests.
They couldn't bear to watch.
I can't bear to see this foreign prime minister, with his body and head in a different place, and at the end of his road.
"Ignorance of the general situation is an unpardonable crime! I will be promoted to a higher rank, rewarded with a hundred gold pieces, ten pieces of cloth, and be dismissed from office and returned to my hometown!"
Wei Zhuang raised his head suddenly, his face full of shock.
Can I live?
The ministers opened their eyes suddenly, their faces full of shock.
Not only did Your Majesty not kill the Left Prime Minister, but he also raised the title of the Left Prime Minister and gave him a hundred gold and ten cloths to allow the Left Prime Minister to return home?
"Don't you accept the order?" The First Emperor's words were not good.
But Wei Zhuang felt that the First Emperor's words at this moment were even gentler than the 14-year-old concubine he had taken in the past two months!
"Your Majesty, won't you kill me?" Wei Zhuang said tremblingly.
He knew he shouldn't ask this, but he couldn't help it. He wanted to know why so much!
Political struggles throughout the ages!
The loser must die!
"You have done so much for Great Qin, why should I kill you? Just because you disobey me and are different from what I think?"
Ying Zheng glanced at the ministers and said in a cold voice: "If the heroes cannot retreat intact, how can Ying Zheng stand in the world? Retreat from the court!"
Wei Zhuang, the left prime minister of the Qin Dynasty who did not cry when he fell off his horse when he was eight years old, fought with foreign tribesmen and had his ribs cut off but did not cry, suffered countless white-eyed discrimination in the Qin State but did not cry, the prime minister of the Hu people, the old prime minister, burst into tears, full of hot tears. orbit.
"I respectfully send you your Majesty's greetings!"
The sound was very loud.
"Your Majesty, Wang Wan, would like to send you off respectfully!"
"Your Majesty, Feng Quji, sends you off respectfully!"
"Your Majesty, Li Si, would like to send you your Majesty's greetings!"
"Your Majesty, Wang Jian, would like to send you off respectfully!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I would like to send you off to you, Prince Ben!"
"Your Majesty, Wei Liao, would like to send you off respectfully!"
"Your Majesty, Feng Jie, would like to send you off respectfully!"
"Your Majesty, Yao Jia, would like to send you off respectfully!"
"..."
On this day, Xianyang Hall was the center.
The clouds within a ten-mile radius were all dispersed by the Xianyang Palace's cry, and there was no cloud for ten miles!
On this day, the First Emperor walked a long way from Xianyang Palace, and he could still hear the words behind him saying farewell to His Majesty!
On this day, all the eunuchs, maids, and ministers of Xianyang Palace listened to the farewell to His Majesty for a full quarter of an hour!
Ying Chengyu, who was hiding in a tree and waiting to find the First Emperor for questioning, rubbed his eyes.
"Damn, that's so impressive!"
At midnight, Zhangtai Palace.
"Your Majesty, the Lord of Chang'an is here to pay your respects."
"Go away, I'm not here to meet you, I'm here to punish you!"
Ying Chengyu pushed aside Zhao Gao, who was respectfully reporting, and threw away the bamboo slips held by the First Emperor.
