A series of angry scoldings all disappeared after the First Emperor spoke.
Whether it is Li Si, who will be famous in later generations, or Feng Quji, who still has powerful power at this time.
The Confucianists who were so arrogant that they were even supported as pillars of the Han Dynasty...
Everyone shut up the moment the First Emperor opened his mouth!
They all lowered their proud heads.
No one dared to continue to reprimand the First Emperor when he spoke.
No one dares to cross the boundaries of the First Emperor...
Even Chun Yuyue only secretly asked the First Emperor's parents and children to oppose this matter...
Chen Ke knelt there with a solemn look on his face.
He looked at the First Emperor and waited until the First Emperor finished asking questions before speaking: "Your Majesty."
"The ministers rebelled against the county system"
Before these words caused a stir, Chen Ke immediately said: "But I am not against your Majesty."
"It's not even against the unification that His Majesty wants to carry out."
Chen Ke glanced at Fusu who was kneeling in front of him and Chun Yuyue who was standing in front of him.
"I just don't have a good mind and think that the system of prefectures and counties that His Highness Fusu opposes is the same as the system of prefectures and counties that I want to oppose."
Aren't the county system that Fusu wants to oppose and the county system that he wants to oppose the same county system?
This sentence is a bit convoluted, but how could there be someone as stupid as a donkey in the court?
When he realized what Chen Ke meant.
Some people also sighed in their hearts. It seemed that they wanted to bring down Chen Ke, but there was no chance for the time being.
How could this person survive?
Li Si sighed in his heart, he had never found Chen Shaofu to be so talented in the past.
Such a glib tongue.
How come you are so eloquent and talkative today without any stage fright?
Now, I'm afraid it has aroused His Majesty's curiosity, right?
As expected, the First Emperor had a curious look on his face after listening to Chen Ke's words.
He looked down at Chen Ke and said, "Oh?"
"You said that the county system you oppose is different from the county system Fusu opposes?"
"tell me the story"
After hearing these words, Chen Ke felt relieved a little.
Since the emperor asked for an exit.
As long as there are no problems with his subsequent answers, his life will probably be saved.
But this is not a moment to be taken lightly.
Dang even raised his head, looked at the First Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know that Mr. Fusu opposes the system of prefectures and counties in order to support the system of enfeoffment."
"If I knew it"
"Definitely, after Young Master Fusu objects, if you start a new one, your Majesty will not misunderstand."
"Master Fusu supports Confucianism's enfeoffment system and Confucius's Zhou rites."
"But Chen is different."
"I oppose Prime Minister Li's system of prefectures and counties purely because of one thing."
Chen Ke raised his head and expressed his inner thoughts clearly.
“The county system proposed by Prime Minister Li Si has some problems.”
"These issues will affect His Majesty's ultimate goal."
"That's why I am opposing the system of prefectures and counties at this time."
"What I object to is not the system of counties and counties per se, but this imperfect system of counties and counties."
Although this sentence is convoluted, everyone in the court understands it.
For a moment, they all lamented Chen Ke's good luck.
There is a difference between opposing the county system itself and opposing the county system.
The difference is even greater than the difference between humans and animals.
The "prefecture and county system" itself is not only a system, but also a means and measure for the emperor to unify and consolidate the world.
The county system is a means.
You can object to the method, but you absolutely cannot oppose the meaning behind the method.
Opposing this method, as long as you can come up with a better method, you will be the emperor's beloved minister, and even more a wise minister.
But if you object to the figure itself...
Then you are against the emperor!
Wait for death, there is no hope.
Listening to Chen Ke's words, the First Emperor, who was sitting firmly on the throne, suddenly raised his eyebrows.
Are you opposed to the imperfect means of the "county system"?
Because they didn’t know that Fusu proposed supporting the enfeoffment system, so they spoke together?
The First Emperor looked at Chen Ke with a half-smile.
Of course he could see that Chen Ke was indeed opposed to the county system at first.
Ying Zheng glanced at Chunyu Yue, who was standing in the crowd with his head lowered and as quiet as a chicken.
He also knew that it was Chun Yuyue who instigated it!
It was only at this time that the First Emperor became somewhat interested in the shortcomings of the county system mentioned by Chen Ke.
In the feudal era, everyone's lives depended on the emperor's thoughts...
If you say you are not guilty, you are not guilty, and if you are guilty, you are not guilty.
If you say you are guilty, you are guilty, and if you are not guilty, you are also guilty.
Just like Zhao Gao, Meng Tian participated in Zhao Gao's violation of the law many times. When Zhao Gao knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, didn't the First Emperor also pardon him?
So from the beginning, Chen Ke was not prepared to use clever words and fickle changes to exonerate himself.
Because he is different from others, he knows the essence more clearly!
Look beyond the surface!
As long as the First Emperor wanted to spare his life, even if he really wanted to oppose the county system.
The First Emperor would pretend not to know.
So the next steps are the most important! Being useful is the most important thing!
Ying Zheng looked down at Chen Ke with a calm expression on his face, without causing any disturbance.
"oh?"
"What are the shortcomings of today's county system?"
"Chen Shaofu, tell me the shortcomings of the county system"
"If it is reasonable, you will have no fault, but you will have merit."
The First Emperor has already decided.
Things have entered the next stage.
Chen Ke raised his head with determination in his eyebrows.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's system of counties and counties is essentially good and has a good starting point."
Chen Ke first affirmed Li Si's county system to avoid offending anyone secretly.
Li Si is good, his starting point is good, and everything is good.
"It's just that the Prime Minister is always in front of His Majesty, dealing with important matters of the family and the country, but it is easy to overlook some small things."
The Prime Minister has a high status and has to deal with many important things and is very busy.
So it's normal not to see some small details.
Unlike me, I am a little transparent, a small official, inconspicuous.
"These little things are actually hidden in places. If you don't go out often, it's normal not to know."
So the problem with the county system is not because Mr. Li has a problem, Mr. Li is still great.
After giving Li Si a hint of support, Chen Ke continued to speak.
"And I, I was an official in Handan County a few years ago."
"That's why I know a little more about these than Mr. Li."
After Chen Ke organized his thoughts, he first summed up the words: "The system of prefectures and counties is to consolidate the rule of our Great Qin and enable our Great Qin to last forever."
“Therefore, the imperial court’s dominance over local areas must be strengthened.”
"In this case, the county system is indeed the best solution."
“But there are a few problems”
Chen Ke raised his head, looked at Li Sid and said, "I have the courage to ask, Prime Minister, can you answer it?"
