Is the First Emperor crazy?
In the eyes of Wei Liao and others, it is crazy.
But the First Emperor himself didn't think so.
He doesn't think he's crazy.
In the past, it wasn't that he didn't understand everyone's pursuit of profits, he just didn't want to share the profits.
Not that he was really mean and unkind.
But the lessons of the Zhou Dynasty were placed in front of him, and he had to treat them with caution.
The Zhou Dynasty has been passed down for thirty-seven generations from King Wu of Zhou. It has been passed down for thirty-three generations since the Jin Dynasty was divided into three families. It has been passed down for eleven generations since King You of Zhou was mediocre and caused Quanrong to destroy Haojing.
This is the result of enfeoffment of interests.
The so-called enfeoffment of interests means that there is not only a false name, but also actual benefits, that is, fame and fortune are both shared.
Fame is easy to give out and easy to take back, but profit is different. It is easy to give out but not easy to take back.
The First Emperor knew this truth well, so he did not give away the benefits.
But it's different now.
If he wants to conquer Jiuzhou and become the true co-owner of the world, he must let these people die for him.
Before the six kingdoms were destroyed, everyone thought they could share the profits, but the results were not satisfactory.
Then if you want them to conquer Jiuzhou, will they agree?
Obviously, I would not agree.
Of course, the First Emperor could use his power to force them to conquer Jiuzhou with him.
But is it possible?
It is impossible to succeed!
Because everyone is not of the same mind, how can we do great things?
After much thought, the First Emperor came up with this conspiracy.
That's right, the map of nine continents in the world, Wang Jue, including the two choices, are all conspiracy.
Whether the ministers choose one or two, it doesn't matter to the First Emperor.
Because from the moment you make a choice, you are already in the game.
If you choose to entrust the land of Baiyue, will that benefit me? So have I treated you badly? No, then I want to conquer Jiuzhou. Are you embarrassed not to participate?
You chose to conquer Jiuzhou with me and benefit future generations. Then my purpose is consistent with your interests. Should we work together to become bigger and stronger and create greater glory?
Therefore, the conspiracy of the First Emperor has an effect on anyone who pursues interests.
And he doesn't have to worry about endangering the country.
Those who are thousands of miles away can be granted the title of marquis, and those who are thousands of miles away can be granted the title of king.
Sound tempting?
But I didn’t say anything specific!
I promise you that I will grant you the title of marquis or king, and I will never break my promise. So I grant you nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine miles, ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine miles. Isn't that excessive?
You may think that if you can go so far, you can come back, but let me tell you, you are overthinking, and I haven’t even used the grace order yet! Why are you so anxious?
In this wave, I am on the fifth floor, and you are on the first floor.
Crazy?
I don’t feel it at all, I’m even so calm that I want to eat hot pot!
"Ahem..."
Seeing that the ministers were so excited and still looked like they couldn't believe it, Ying Zheng coughed twice.
Zhao Gao understood immediately and stood up and shouted.
"quiet--!"
"Crash..."
The ministers surrounding the Nine Continents of the World heard Zhao Gao's shouts and quickly retreated to both sides. The entire hall was as silent as the autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.
Upon seeing this, Ying Zheng smiled and asked, "Have you made your choice, ministers?"
"this……"
The ministers looked at each other hesitantly.
The next moment, Li Si stood up and said, "Your Majesty, do you think it's inappropriate?"
"What's wrong?"
Ying Zheng turned to look at Li Si and said calmly.
Li Si said sternly: "Whether it is to entrust the land of Baiyue or the land of Jiuzhou, it will not be of any benefit to our Great Qin. On the contrary, it will cause the Great Qin to fall into a dilemma!"
"Dilemma?"
Ying Zheng frowned and said, "What is a dilemma?"
"First, if the land of Baiyue implements the enfeoffment system, there will be a situation of separatism among the princes, which is not conducive to the government's governance."
"In addition, the Seven Kingdoms are governed by a prefectural and county system, and the Baiyue is governed by a feudal system. This will make the people of the Seven Kingdoms feel that our Great Qin is unfair, and may even feel that they are inferior to the barbarians."
Hearing this, all the ministers looked at each other.
"Ah."
Ying Zheng chuckled and said with a faint smile, "What about the second one?"
"this……"
When Li Si heard Ying Zheng laugh, he couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart, but when Ying Zheng asked, he had to answer, so he bit the bullet and said: "The second reason is that our dynasty has never had a precedent of a king with a different surname. There is no legal regulation on how much merit can be achieved to be crowned king, and it is not legal!"
As soon as these words came out, the ministers couldn't help but nodded slightly, thinking that this must be explained clearly.
Otherwise, like Wang Jian and his son, they would only be granted the title of Chehou after having made such great achievements.
Moreover, the Marquis of Che only had a town and no fiefdom.
As if he had read through the thoughts of the ministers, Ying Zheng smiled slightly: "Is the dilemma raised by Li Tingwei your doubts?"
"this……"
All the ministers looked at each other and shouted in unison: "Dare you ask Your Majesty to clarify my doubts!"
"good!"
Ying Zheng waved his sleeves and shouted, then smiled and said: "The enfeoffment should be parallel to the prefectures and counties. I have a countermeasure in my mind. If the land of Baiyue is conquered, the princes can manage the fiefdoms by themselves and pay part of the taxes to the court. As long as they do not violate The princes have the final say on the national policies of the imperial court and all matters within the fiefdom.”
"As for whether the counties and counties in the Seven Kingdoms will make the people of the Seven Kingdoms dissatisfied, don't worry about this. I have decided to amend the cruel laws and adjust the policies to benefit the people. I believe they will understand me."
"in addition."
As he spoke, he paused, turned his gaze to Li Si, and then continued: "Li Tingwei said how much merit can be given to the king. I really didn't make it clear. Now I will add two points and issue an edict to the world. When For legal principles.”
"First, regarding military merit, if one person destroys six kingdoms, his descendants can be crowned kings!"
"Second, the title of king is not limited to military merit. Those who have made significant contributions to the country can also be crowned king by their descendants!"
"boom!"
It was like a bolt of lightning flashed across, and all the ministers were trembling as if they were struck by lightning.
Numb.
Even the old ministers of the Six Nations who cherished their homeland were numb.
They never thought that the First Emperor would drop such a "blockbuster" during his reign.
Make the king!
Things that they never dared to think about in this life can actually come true!
Even if they are sealed descendants, this wave will not be a loss!
Why did the First Emperor suddenly become enlightened? Didn’t you refuse to divide the land between life and death before? Why did the big ones come as soon as they were enfeoffed?
What a surprise!
What a surprise!
His Majesty!
I am willing to die for you!
Shh.
Be quiet, I haven’t finished speaking yet!
In winter, the warm sun is shining high, the north wind is whistling, and the trees want to be quiet but the wind does not stop.
Ying Zheng slowly walked towards the high platform, with his hands behind his back, looking down at the ministers below, and said loudly: "Everyone, are you willing to give me a try? Are you willing to dominate the world with me? Are you willing to share wealth with me?"
The three consecutive questions are like the great bell of Hong Zhong, shocking the hearts of the people.
"Your Majesty is willing!"
The ministers cheered loudly.
Li Si, Feng Quji, Feng Jie, Yao Jia and others clenched their sleeves and couldn't help but murmur to themselves: "Your Majesty has changed..."
"..."
Ying Zheng smiled and said nothing.
Of course I have changed.
I am no longer the King of Qin.
I am the lord of China.
I have ended more than five hundred years of chaos.
Former enemy.
Together we have become my people.
I am the ruler of the world.
My achievements will be cast in bronze.
Engraved on the top of the mountain.
My glory will illuminate the world.
My achievements will benefit your descendants.
Forever passed down to the world.
I.
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng.
