Ziying lowered his head and said nothing, not knowing what to say.
He knew that the people in that position were very cold-hearted, but he didn't feel that these clans were doing the right thing.
This world was conquered by the First Emperor, not by them.
They are lying here eating, drinking, having fun and enjoying the conveniences brought by this status. Why do they want to seek that position or even more?
Will His Majesty the First Emperor really kill them?
He didn't believe it.
Ziying knew that what these people were praying for was just a touch of greed in their hearts.
Since greed arises, how can we be free from it?
He closed his eyes, an idea slowly growing in his mind.
...........
For five or six days in a row, Chen Ke remained motionless in his yard. He didn't even want to go out and just wanted to lie on the bed.
Fortunately, no matter what he ate or what he did, there were servants to deliver and serve him, so he lived quite comfortably for the past five or six days.
More comfortable than in my previous life.
After all, he doesn't need to clean the house, cook the food, or do anything else.
It can also be kept clean and even has a slight fragrance.
The smell of sandalwood floated in the room, and the small room was soon filled with a heavy smell, which made people feel a little comfortable.
Chen Ke was half lying in the room, holding a miscellany in his hand.
This miscellany was something he finally found. It was written by an unknown person. It contained many interesting things.
After a while, a boy came in a hurry.
"Young Master, the right prime minister is here."
Right Prime Minister?
Li Si?
Chen Ke raised his eyebrows, with curiosity on his face.
What is this person doing to come to me today? Is there something important?
Dang even stood up.
At this time, Li Si had already walked to the middle courtyard. Next to Li Si were General Wang Jian and Prime Minister Zuo Wang Guan.
Just as they walked out of the middle courtyard, several people bumped into each other.
Li Si, Wang Jian, and Wang Guan all looked serious and solemn, not smiling as usual.
When Chen Ke saw these three people coming together with serious expressions on their faces, he knew what they meant.
Li Si held the imperial edict made of black silk in his hand, and his voice was solemn and majestic.
He looked at Chen Ke and said: "Your Majesty has a decree, and Young Master Chen Ke will listen to it."
Chen Ke straightened his body and bowed slightly: "Chen Ke listens."
Li Si unfolded the imperial edict and said loudly.
"The emperor was entrusted with the destiny of heaven, and the edict said:
The young man, Chen Ke, is noble and thrifty, and his virtue shines brightly like the sun and moon. God gave him the divine object "paper" and created the art of "printing", which made the world convenient and the Qin Dynasty prosperous.
We also set up a Baijia Palace event and a literary competition to select and recruit talented people for our Qin Dynasty to secure the world.
Just when the remnants of the Six Kingdoms were in chaos, the young man Chen Ke had a far-reaching plan and was able to promote virtuous ministers and stabilize the world.
Its merits are in the country and benefit the world.
Therefore, I order.
He was granted the title of "Uncle" by Chen Ke, the Shaofu, and was granted the title of "Zhongmu County Uncle".
Announce it to the world, and the envoys will hear about it."
After Li Si finished reciting the contents of the imperial decree aloud, a slight smile finally appeared on his face.
He looked at Chen Ke in front of him and said, "Mr. Chen, will you accept the order?"
Chen Ke bowed slightly and bowed slightly to the black imperial edict to show respect.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, for ten thousand years——"
"Great Qin Ten Thousand Years——"
After Chen Ke got the imperial edict in his hands, Wang Jian and Wang Guan on the side smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Chen."
"After the peace of the world, His Majesty has never awarded any titles."
"Now His Majesty has awarded you the title of "Uncle". If it were before the unification of the Qin Dynasty, your title would have even surpassed that of some of the princes of the year, hahahahaha. "
Although Wang Jian's words were somewhat ridiculing, they were indeed well said.
In the "Zhou" period, if calculated according to the etiquette of the enfeoffment system, there were four classes: the world, the princes, the ministers and officials, and the scholars.
But at that time, the titles were divided into five levels.
Gong, Hou, Bo, Zi, male.
After King Wu Jifa founded the Zhou Dynasty, he only awarded the title of "gong" to the kings of two countries.
One is the State of Qi and the other is the State of Song.
Because the State of Qi is a descendant of the Xia Dynasty, and the State of Song is a descendant of the Shang Dynasty.
Most of the rest hold the title of "hou".
And the Qin Dynasty that now dominates the world, at the beginning, it was just an "uncle" title.
He was called "Uncle Qin" at that time.
Later, the world gradually became chaotic, and rituals and music collapsed.
Each prince and king claimed to be a "king" one after another. At that time, the number of princes gradually increased.
Therefore, there is an interesting story that when Song Xianggong was at the alliance meeting, he angrily criticized King Chu Cheng, saying that King Chu Cheng was a false king and he was the real prince.
Now that Yingzheng can give a title of "uncle", and has not even specifically stated that it cannot be inherited, then this title can even be hereditary and replaceable.
Although this title is not as powerful as the previous week, his status and reputation are representative.
This is actually a reward that is separate from the Qin military merit system.
According to the military merit system, Chen Ke would have been awarded fifteen, sixteen, or seventeen medals at this time.
These two titles are also at the forefront.
But after all, the military merit system is not suitable for today, and the title system is more in line with this time.
These are all things that Ying Zheng came up with after careful consideration.
Originally, he wanted to award Chen Ke the title of Seventeenth Rank and make him the concubine commander, but after thinking about it, he felt that this position was not worthy of Chen Ke's achievements.
But if Chen Ke is named "Guannei Hou" or "Lie Hou", Chen Ke doesn't seem to have made such a big contribution now...
After all, it was Han Xin who really destroyed the six countries.
After Han Xin came back after his success, he was only awarded eleven honors according to the military merit system and was made the right concubine.
Chen Ke obviously understood Ying Zheng's concerns and thoughts, so he didn't care about this reward that was not in line with the military merit system.
Although the rewards of the military merit system can continue to be used for the time being, they need to be gradually given up.
Therefore, it is a good thing to reduce the use of the military merit system at this time.
The influence of the military merit system can be gradually eroded.

Zhangtai Palace
Ying Zheng held on to the railing and sighed quietly.
Jiang Lu stood beside him, his head lowered, slightly silent.
Even though he has returned to Xianyang City for a while, he is still not used to his current father.
In the past, my father was as cold as a god, but now my father is more like a father.
"Father, you can just grant the young man the title of "Uncle". Why do you add a "county" before "Uncle"? "
"Is there any deeper meaning in this?"
ps: Oh my god, I have finally finished writing this chapter. This is the most difficult chapter I have ever written.
In the middle of the book, I gradually began to follow logic, and even had to create a closed logic myself. I have to say that this is really tiring...
As for the imperial edict in this chapter, a lot of my hair fell out...
My knowledge is too shallow...continue reading...
Let's just wait and see...I tried my best. I won't be here today. Can you guys go to bed early?
