Ying Zheng appeared in the main hall of Zhangtai Palace, looked at the people standing below, and said with a smile: "Everyone is here today, and people who have not seen each other for a long time are also here."

He sat there, looked at Mr. Dong'an aside and said, "Dong'an, why are you here today?"

"Is it possible that you also have some thoughts on the enfeoffment they proposed two days ago?"

This question is not only for Mr. Dong'an, but also for all the people who were absent a few days ago and are here today.

For these people, Ying Zheng did not want to kill them with one shot.

Even now, Ying Zheng is still willing and wants to give those people a chance.

After all, it is the blood of the Qin royal family, the same as the blood in his body.

Lord Dong'an was sitting there kneeling. Although he now had stools and chairs, except for Ying Zheng at the top and Wang Jian beside him, who was the pillar of the country, the rest of the people still knelt most of the time.

Of course, in Chen Ke's view, it is already a good thing that it has not evolved into the emperor sitting and they standing, or it has continued to evolve into the emperor sitting and they kneeling.

Today's intellectuals still have some backbone and dignity.

At least it was much better than some intellectuals in later generations.

That group of people may no longer be called intellectuals, they are just a group of dogs that will bark at their own people if they are given a bone.

Dong'an Jun raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng above, with a slight calmness in his voice.

Perhaps today has reached this time, and they all know that there is no need to continue pretending, and there is no point in continuing to pretend.

Therefore, everyone's true colors were exposed.

He said softly: "Your Majesty."

Lord Dong'an did not answer Ying Zheng's question. Instead, he asked with confusion: "Actually, I have a question, but I haven't been able to get an answer. I feel very confused."

He sighed faintly: "What does the Qin Dynasty rely on to dominate the world?"

Dong'an Jun looked directly into Ying Zheng's eyes. Ying Zheng could see the fear and fear in his eyes, but deep in Dong'an Jun's eyes, there was something more determined that made him ignore these fears.

It was ambition, desire.

Ying Zheng sighed inwardly, knowing that nothing could be done to save these people.

He also looked at Lord Dong'an calmly: "So, Dong'an, why do you think the Qin Dynasty unified the world?"

Lord Dong'an said directly: "It's the old Qin people who rely on it, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and our clans who rely on it."

"It depends on everything."

Ying Zheng was very calm. Even if he heard the meaning of Dong'an Jun's words, he was still calm. There was even a little disappointment in his eyes.

"Is it?"

"So, Dong'an."

"what do you want to say?"

Dong'an Jun stood up abruptly, his aura becoming indomitable in an instant, like an assassin who finally showed his ferocious claws in front of the person he wanted to assassinate.

"Your Majesty, this world is not yours alone. Sweeping the world and swallowing up the whole world is not yours alone."

"So, why should you alone have the final say in this world?"

He suddenly turned around and looked at the ministers standing in the court, his eyes slowly filled with ambition.

"If it were not for the remaining six generations of the kings of the Great Qin royal family, would today's Great Qin be what it is today?"

"Will the achievements of King Xiaowen and King Zhuang Xiang be wiped out?"

"Will the contributions of Zhang Zi, Mi Bazi and others back then be buried in the ruins of history?"

"Do all the meritorious officials in this court really have no merit at all?"

"Are all their needs covered up by Your Majesty's selfishness?"

Dong'an Jun took a deep breath, his fingers trembling in his wide sleeves. He was still scared, but at this time he could no longer restrain his inner excitement.

He suddenly took a step forward and walked in front of Li Si.

"Back then, Prime Minister Li Si used the "Remonstrance to Drive Off Guests" to save everything in the Qin Dynasty. "

"If it weren't for Prime Minister Li Si's letter of remonstrance and banishment of guests, would the Qin Dynasty be able to dominate the world today?"

"If it weren't for Li Sicheng's letter of remonstrance and expulsion many years ago, His Majesty would probably have expelled all the people from other countries. If that were true, would the Qin Dynasty be able to be unified today?"

"Why do we, the Qin Dynasty, unify?"

"Because our Great Qin is not limited to one discipline and can entrust talents from all countries with important responsibilities and gather them all into our Great Qin!"

Dong'an Jun turned around and glared at Ying Zheng on the stage.

"Your Majesty, you feel that you are a god, and you feel that you can never make mistakes."

"Then what do you think of the book of remonstrance and expulsion?"

"The existence of Prime Minister Li Si has become the best evidence for this matter."

Immediately afterwards, Lord Dong'an walked up to Wang Jian again and bowed deeply.

"Then there is General Wang."

"It's listed as, I don't need to say more about General Wang's contribution, right?"

"If it weren't for General Wang, Great Qin would have been defeated like a mountain!"

He pointed outside the main hall in the distance, seemingly pointing to the distant and invisible Li Xin, and said: "His Majesty trusted Li Xin back then, which made Li Xin arrogant and arrogant, and finally he was defeated like a mountain."

"Your Majesty went to invite General Wang to come out. This is how to restore the decline."

"This is why Da Qin's empire has been preserved."

"Only in the end can we be unified."

"There are seven countries in the world, and besides me, Da Qin, there are six countries. How many of these six countries were destroyed by General Wang?"

"Is there anyone else in Great Qin who can replace General Wang's achievements?"

Lord Dong'an walked up to the other clan members, his expression softening a little.

"Apart from these two, don't the many ministers in this hall have any merit?"

"They worked diligently for the Qin Dynasty, and finally the Qin Dynasty was unified. What did they gain?"

"Let's talk about the Great Qin clan."

"From King Xiaowen and King Wu in the past to Mi Bazi and others later, many members of the Great Qin clan fought bloody battles for the Great Qin."

"Who has ever had a moment's rest?"

Dong'an Jun's interest seemed to have softened a little at this time. He stood there and finally looked at Ying Zheng calmly, as calmly as the lake after the storm disappeared.

"Your Majesty, this world's merit was created by the people of the world."

"Why can't this world be enjoyed by everyone in the world?"

"Isn't it true that based on the merits of Prime Minister Li Si and Old General Wang Jian, they are not worthy of being crowned king?"

"According to the contribution of the Great Qin Clan, isn't it worthwhile for the Great Qin Clan to be crowned kings in various lands through their bloodline?"

"His Majesty."

Mr. Dong'an stood there, looking like a heroic man who sacrificed himself for the sake of all sentient beings in the world.

Ying Zheng looked at Dong'an Jun like this and didn't say a word, just silent.

At this time, in the main hall, a strange silence began to be vented continuously, making the entire atmosphere become strangely heavy.

Chen Ke, Li Si, and Wang Jian stood there with helpless expressions.

The corners of Li Si's eyes were twitching, but Chen Ke was more relaxed.

Because Mr. Dong'an just now didn't mention Chen Ke at all.

Ying Zheng sighed softly, then looked at the many ministers below and said, "What do you think? Like Lord Dong'an, do you want to be crowned king of all lands?"

Yingrong stood up with a calm look on his face.

He took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Qin Dynasty has only been unified for about three years and implements a system of prefectures and counties."

"In the past three years, the world has not been stable."

"People from the six countries have jumped out and want to oppose His Majesty's rule."

"If Chen Fengchang hadn't been here and made many plans, I'm afraid the world would have been as turbulent as before."

"If it weren't for the things that Chen Fengchang came up with, such as repeating crossbows, printing, papermaking, etc., and if Chen Fengchang hadn't exposed the Confucian conspiracy, how could there still be such a peaceful world today?"

Ying Rong worked step by step: "When Zhou founded the world, it had been peaceful for more than four hundred years. If King You hadn't been too tyrannical and ignorant, Zhou would have been able to continue."

"Your Majesty, after such a comparison, can't we find that the disadvantages of the county system are not as good as those of the feudal system?"

"For the sake of the world and the thousands of Guizhou leaders in the world, I ask your Majesty to abolish the system of prefectures and counties and implement a system of enfeoffment."

Ying Rong's voice fell, but Ying Zheng's expression remained unchanged.

He just looked at the ministers and said, "Who else has different opinions on the county system?"

The ministers in the hall look at me and I look at you, they all dare not speak at this time.

Everyone remained silent.

However, in the face of huge interests, sometimes fear is ignored.

Someone stood up and showed their greed.

"Your Majesty, I second the idea of ​​Lord Dong'an and Young Master Rong. After three years of implementing the system of prefectures and counties, many problems have indeed been discovered."

"These problems cannot be erased even by Chen Fengchang."

"In addition, General Wang Jian and Prime Minister Li Si did a lot of credit for bringing peace to the world, and the clan also has its share of credit."

"Therefore, I agree with the enfeoffment system."

After the first bird jumped out, every other bird jumped out.

In the end, one-tenth of the courtiers in the entire hall expressed their support for the enfeoffment system. As for the others, they stood there with indifferent expressions.

They all felt that the enfeoffment system had no chance of winning.

His Majesty is not a person who will change himself after being threatened. They looked at the people in the audience coldly, waiting for their final outcome.

Ying Zheng's voice fell: "Okay."

There was even a slight smile in his voice, which made people shudder.

"What you said is very good."

"I'm actually a little moved."

Ying Zheng squinted his eyes, looked at Wang Jian standing in the audience and said, "General Wang, tell me what you think?"

"You didn't express your stance just now, but now it's time to express your stance."

"Do you support the enfeoffment system or the county system?"

Wang Jian snorted coldly, glared at the group of people and said, "That's all nonsense!"

"I'm so angry."

He seemed to be forcibly calming down his anger and said: "Your Majesty, whether it is the enfeoffment system or the county system, it is just a system."

"I do not support any system, I only support Your Majesty!"

Wang Jian stood there, even at his current age, he still looked like a killing god.

"If Your Majesty wants to implement the system of counties and counties, then I will be the staunchest supporter of the system of counties and counties."

"If His Majesty wants to implement the enfeoffment system, then I support the enfeoffment system."

"If there is anyone with evil intentions who wants to shake His Majesty, my sword is not rusty yet!"

"You can still kill people!"

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si who was standing on the other side and said, "Li Si, what do you think?"

"Just now Mr. Dong'an fought for you. I feel that just giving you the position of prime minister is too unfair to you. I should give you the position of king."

"If the enfeoffment system is really implemented, you should indeed be granted a king."

"Are you willing?"

Li Si looked smiling, but could not hide his anger.

"Your Majesty, it was I who proposed the abolition of the feudal system and the implementation of the county system."

"The system of prefectures and counties was created by me. Today, some people actually attack the system of prefectures and counties, and try to make Your Majesty think that I am just a feudal system."

"This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world."

"The county system is like my child. How could I dislike my own child?"

"No matter what system it is, there will always be many problems when it first appears, but as time goes by, these problems will be gradually solved."

"What we need to do is improve him, rather than abandon him directly."

"Of course I support the system of counties and counties, and I am the most staunch supporter of the system of counties and counties."

Ying Zheng turned around again, looked at Chen Ke and said, "Chen Ke, Ying Rong also said just now that if it weren't for you, the world would have been in turmoil."

"What do you think?"

Chen Ke smiled bitterly. He was fishing on the side, but he didn't expect to be dragged in by Ying Zheng.

In other words, if that guy Ying Rong wants to implement the enfeoffment system, he will never let him go.

After all, he had firmly supported Fusu's enfeoffment system before, and he was the one who wanted to implement the enfeoffment system and almost lost his life for it.

Even if I later turned to support the county system, I am afraid that in the eyes of some people, I was doing it for my own life, right?

Now that old things are brought up again, they feel that they have confidence, and they will naturally want to win over them.

But now it seems that there are still differences between them.

Yingrong wanted to pull him in, but Dong'an Jun didn't want to.

Chen Ke coughed lightly, then stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, I am a "traitor". How can I say this? "

He sighed quietly, showing his helplessness.

"Actually, my attitude is very obvious. After all, the current system of prefectures and counties is the result of continuous improvements made by me and Prime Minister Li."

"The general judgment system and other matters were also proposed by the minister."

"The Baijia Palace was also proposed by me."

"Isn't my attitude obvious? Will it cause some people to misunderstand?"
