With Zhongmu as the core and covering three counties?
This basically gives most of Sanchuan County to Chen Ke, because Sanchuan County only has seven counties.
Among them, Zhongmu and the three counties mentioned just now make a total of four, which already accounts for more than half of Sanchuan County.
Half of the county was given to Chen Ke and became Chen Ke's fief...
This was indeed a very trusting move for Chen Ke, otherwise the First Emperor would never have given such a large place to Chen Ke.
You must know that after the Qin Dynasty was divided into counties and counties, there was no such thing as fiefdom.
Even the highest-level Chehou like Wang Jian does not have a fief, or there is no clear fief, and some can only enjoy some properties on the fief.
However, when the First Emperor said that he would use this place as his fiefdom, he did not have any additional conditions.
It is obviously possible to give Chen Ke all the power here.
And then, what everyone was thinking about appeared in their ears. It was the voice of the First Emperor, which was so calm that it even seemed light and airy.
"Chen Ke, relocate these four counties into "Chang'an County" and make it your fiefdom. From now on, in Chang'an County, you can even be said to be the true King of Chang'an. "
The First Emperor looked at Chen Ke quietly like this, and after hearing the First Emperor's words, the people around him also looked at Chen Ke quietly.
Their eyes were filled with jealousy and envy.
How can one not be envious of this?
After the founding of the country, it was the only fiefdom with real power. What is the difference between this and becoming a king?
Often things that everyone, or many people have, are not enviable, but often things that belong to only one person are the most enviable.
Because only one person can get it,
This is the case with Chen Ke today.
If there were many feudal princes in Da Qin at this time, then the reward Chen Ke received at this time would not be worth mentioning.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
Everyone was waiting for Chen Ke to thank him. They all felt that Chen Ke would definitely thank him instead of refusing, because they didn't think that someone would refuse such a great benefit.
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke, quietly waiting for Chen Ke's answer.
Fusu stood at the front with his head lowered, the expression in his eyes invisible. Wang Jian and Li Si looked at Chen Ke quietly.
It was so quiet above the court, it was rare to be so quiet.
Chen Ke felt everything around him, whether it was the jealous eyes, other eyes, or the malicious eyes hidden in the dark that he thought he could not feel.
He kept it all outside.
Standing there quietly, feeling the tranquility of Zhangtai Palace at this moment.
After a moment, he slowly took a step forward, his voice a little calm, but this calmness contained deep seriousness.
"Your Majesty, I would like to thank you for the gift of the fiefdom."
The meaning contained in this sentence was so strong that the people around him breathed a sigh of relief, and then their eyes were full of excitement.
Even Wang Jian and Li Si are like this.
Why?
Because everything is difficult at the beginning, it is very simple to continue to implement one thing along the way.
Just like the emergence of the First Emperor and the emergence of the title "Emperor", people after him can easily continue it.
Just like the county system.
The people behind can imitate the people in front and continue to implement this system without having to waste their brains at all.
Subsequent dynasties rarely introduced new things, and most of the time they just patched things up on the original ones.
For example, the county system in the early Han Dynasty was a very simple and mechanical fusion of the county system and the feudal system, or even no integration at all.
It's just that some Western countries implement the system of counties and counties, and some places implement the system of enfeoffment, that's all.
The official system of the Han Dynasty basically followed the official system of the Qin Dynasty and remained basically unchanged.
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was no new system. There was nothing more than a nine-grade Zhongzheng system, which only divided the grades.
Later on, the Three Provinces and Six Ministries in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was a relatively new innovation, but it only divided some powers on the basis of the Sangong and Jiuqing, and that was it.
Looking at the entire history, there are probably only four things that were the first.
One is the "emperor system" during the First Emperor's period, the "nationally unified county and county system", the "imperial examination system" during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the "provincial system" during the Yuan Dynasty.
But now that Chen Ke has made a start, a fiefdom with real power, it will be much easier for heroes like them to obtain a fiefdom with real power.
At most, it's just meritorious service.
Everyone saw hope, and saw the hope that they might be able to distribute large-scale fiefdoms. Even if their contributions in the future are not as great as Chen Ke's, and their territory is not as large as Chen Ke's, what about a county?
What about half the county?
Even so, it is something that can be passed down from generation to generation.
Just when everyone was excited, Chen Ke's voice rang again, and this time, his voice caused these people to fall into a brief panic.
"But Your Majesty, I disagree with two points."
"First, I do not agree with dividing Zhongmu and the other three counties into separate fiefdoms for me, and naming them "Chang'an County". "
He raised his head and reasoned clearly: "Now that many counties in the country have been divided, and counties with a "planning" nature have been formed. At this time, if "Chang'an" is divided separately, then the remaining counties of Sanchuan County will be separated. What about a county? "
"If I remember correctly, there should be three counties left. Can these three counties form a county?"
"If it cannot be formed into a county, how should it be divided? Divide these three counties separately into Xianyang and the jurisdiction of the imperial court?"
"If this is done, what will be the levels of these counties?"
"If it is divided into other counties, what about other counties? Will there be a huge, bloated county?"
"This has a great impact on the world, and I don't agree with it."
After listening to Chen Ke's words, everyone felt a little relieved again, and they were secretly speculating.
Is this for the sake of Da Qin, or do you feel that four counties are too few, and you want to simply get one county? Want a Sanchuan County directly?
Such thoughts filled everyone's minds. Even Fusu was shaken for a moment, feeling that his teacher wanted more.
Only two, no, three people, when they heard Chen Ke's words, looked at Chen Ke in surprise, with suspicion in their eyes.
This shouldn't be the case.
Above the main hall, there was only one Chen Ke, who was still standing there calmly, with no change in his mood or look.
He quietly looked at the First Emperor and many ministers in front of him, and finally said: "Your Majesty, the second thing is that I do not agree with your Majesty handing over the rights of the entire Chang'an County to me."
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall suddenly became even quieter.
Everyone looked at Chen Ke in astonishment, with confusion and confusion on their faces, as if they didn't understand why Chen Ke could refuse such a big temptation.
really.
Who can refuse such a great right?
Few can say no.
But now there is a person who can refuse. This person not only refuses, but also cuts off everyone's way out.
And that's not all.
Chen Ke continued to speak, and he took a step forward, like a warrior about to fight.
"Your Majesty, this matter cannot begin."
"In other words, everything cannot be started. If it is started, subsequent events will be out of control."
"For example, now that His Majesty has given me rights in a fiefdom, what should I do if there are more people who have made great contributions later?"
"Like old general Wang Jian."
"Your Majesty bought me the land of a county and gave me the rights of a county. Then General Wang made great contributions and even destroyed several countries."
"How much fiefdom and real power should we get for such a feat?"
"Like Prime Minister Li Si."
"The destruction of the six kingdoms must be attributed to Prime Minister Li Si. If there is no Prime Minister Li Si to stabilize the world from behind, how can the world be pacified?"
"With such credit, how much should Prime Minister Li Si be given?"
Chen Ke turned around and looked at the many ministers standing behind him: "Of the many ministers standing in Zhangtai Palace, among the three nobles and nine ministers, which one has not made a lot of contributions?"
"His Majesty."
“If you give me rights, will you give these people rights?”
"If we give it to them, how much land will be left in the world?"
Chen Ke said earnestly: "Your Majesty, there is not much land in the world, even if you include other continents, there is not much."
"Your Majesty has worked hard to unify the world and create the current situation. Do you want to single-handedly destroy the Qin Dynasty like this?"
"The Qin Dynasty, or the Central Plains and China, have finally come together into one piece. Does your Majesty want to separate them with your own hands again?"
"What good will it do to His Majesty to split it up like this?"
"What good will it do to Da Qin?"
Having said this, Chen Ke knelt down slightly, with a slight heaviness in his eyes: "Your Majesty."
"If it is because of my ministers, China will fall apart again, and Qin will fall apart again, and the system of prefectures and counties that have finally persisted will fall apart, and in the near future, it will once again become a feudal system similar to Zhou's."
"What kind of sinner should I be like?"
"How will future generations record my ministers?"
After thinking and saying this, Chen Ke's eyes were filled with tears. He raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng sitting on the high platform.
"His Majesty."
"My lord, I absolutely do not agree with this matter."
This is the first time that Chen Ke has rejected Ying Zheng. It is even the first time that Chen Ke has such a tough attitude towards Ying Zheng and opposes Chen Ke so hard.
Everyone standing in the court looked at these two people with a little touch in their eyes.
Wang Jian took a step forward: "Your Majesty, I second Chen Fengchang's idea."
Li Si also took a step forward: "Your Majesty, I also agree with Chen Fengchang's idea."
In the queue, another person came out with a heavy expression. He raised his head. His face was very similar to Meng Tian in Northern Xinjiang, but he was a little more gentle.
It was Meng Yi.
Meng Yi looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, I don't agree with this either."
He said softly: "On behalf of Taiwei Mengtian and the deceased martyrs of the Meng family, I second Chen Fengchang's idea."
The three gongs and nine ministers, the general Wang Jian, the prime minister Li Si, Chen Ke, who is almost half of the three gongs, and the younger brother of the general Meng Tian, all of them expressed their opinions.
How can other people not understand the meaning of this?
Immediately they all echoed: "Your Majesty, I would like to express my support to Chen Fengchang's idea."
Ying Zheng sighed slightly, with a bit of fatigue and helplessness on his face.
"In this case, the four counties will not be divided, but these four counties will still be divided into your fief. You will only enjoy some of the food in this fief, but you will not control the rights of the four counties."
"The title is still Chang'an, which means protecting Chang'an of the Qin Dynasty."
"how?"
Chen Ke kowtowed slightly, with gratitude in his eyes: "My lord, thank you for your kindness."
"Your Majesty, for ten thousand years——"
"Great Qin Ten Thousand Years——"
Such a sound spread throughout the hall, and the court meeting ended under such circumstances.
........
After the dispersion of the dynasty
Wang Jian and Li Si were walking on the street with a little smile in their eyes.
"Brother Li, how do you think the drama between His Majesty and Chen Ke went?"
Li Si smiled softly when he heard Wang Jian's question. He hid his smile so that others could not see that he was smiling.
"The play performed by Mr. Chen and His Majesty was very good. At least at that time, few people could see it. In other words, no one should be able to see it except you and me."
"You and I can tell because we know His Majesty and Chen Ke so well."
Li Si shook his head, and Wang Jian also said, "That's not true."
"Especially Chen Ke, he is not someone who would be tough on His Majesty. He doesn't have the courage."
"So the correct development of things should be that after this incident, Mr. Chen Ke comes to His Majesty to talk about this matter alone."
"How could it be possible to directly contradict His Majesty in front of everyone?"
"Those who don't know Mr. Chen Ke will never know how timid and afraid of trouble Mr. Chen Ke is."
"Then they will never feel that this is a play, they will only feel that the actors in this play are so real."
The two walked away talking and laughing.
At this time, Chen Ke also came out of Zhangtai Palace. He stood on the steps outside the hall with a slight smile in his eyes.
The sky is still so blue, and the wind outside is still so clear.
A gust of wind blew, carrying the faint smell of spring. Everything in the distance seemed to be blooming, and the temperature in Daqin seemed to be rising.
All this shows that spring is coming.
"Spring is coming."
Chen Ke sighed quietly, and then looked at the sky in the distance, as if he wanted to see something through the sky.
"Spring is here, which spring is this?"
