General Qin

Chapter 488

Li Si was about to open his mouth to severely criticize Wang Wan and Dr. Zhu.

However, when he got to his mouth, he was blocked by the sudden clear voice, and he couldn't help but let out a dry "quack" laugh, which was very uncomfortable.

who is it!

Li Si looked over angrily, and found that the speaker was Zhao Tuo standing in the ranks of generals.

Great Master!

At this time, the officials in the palace also saw the appearance of the speaker, and their expressions were all shocked.

Wang Wan's face was livid, and an unbelievable look flashed in his eyes.

The theory of enfeoffment is to reform the current Daqin administrative system.

Once successful, the emperor's sons and military meritorious officials can benefit from it, and Wang Wan and Confucian disciples can realize their ideals and control the right to speak in state affairs.

But things always have two sides. Since some people benefit, there are also people who will lose their benefits. For example, the disciples of Legalism who have always advocated the centralization of power and wished to control everyone in the world.

So Wang Wan and the doctors all thought that someone would stand up to oppose it, but they expected the enemy to be Ting Wei Li Si.

Why is it that Li Si is screaming like a duck and hasn't expressed his opinion yet, but you, Zhao Tuo, are the first to jump out and object.

Wang Wan was very angry.

You, Zhao Tuo, are the beneficiaries of the enfeoffment system!

We stand up to offer suggestions and suggestions. Once you succeed, you may get the benefits of building a country, which can be said to be beneficial and harmless. It's fine if you don't support it, but you won't be the first to jump out against it, right?

At this moment, not only Li Si screamed strangely, but Wang Wan's face was ashen, and the rest of the officials also behaved differently.

Right Prime Minister Kai opened his eyes, and gave Zhao Tuo a weird look, thoughtfully. The Confucian doctors stared at Zhao Tuo full of hostility, and Chun Yuyue gritted his teeth even more.

The public minister who originally belonged to the neutral faction looked around and shut up, preparing to observe the situation. Among the generals, Wang Ben and Meng Wu looked at Zhao Tuo in amazement, but said nothing, while the other generals frowned.

One of the reckless Qiang people couldn't bear it anymore.

"Zhao... Da Shuchang! What do you mean by this? The system of enfeoffment is a way for a strong country to secure its borders. How did it come out of your mouth that it became a theory of a weak country and a king? Please make it clear!"

Qiang Yan said angrily, his voice was very loud, it could be seen that he was a little anxious.

"Qiang Yougeng said that it is true that dividing land to build a country and defending the central government is a beautiful policy for three generations. Xia, Shang and Zhou all practiced enfeoffment. How did it become a short-sighted and superficial view in the mouth of the elders? We have never heard of such words. Yes. We want to learn from the ancients, how can it be too much!"

Among the doctors, Chun Yuyue couldn't help but echo Qiang Lu's words.

Zhao Tuo first glanced at the emperor on the emperor's couch, and saw that his expression was still calm, and he could not see any happiness or anger.

Above the court meeting, the officials debated and discussed, and finally the emperor made a decision.

Before that, he would not be involved as a referee.

Thinking of the result of this debate in later generations, Zhao Tuo felt at ease. How could he lose if he was sure of winning?

He laughed and said: "What a beautiful government for three generations, in my eyes, it's nothing more than the old words. It reminds me of the reforms of the Shang monarchs in the past. There are Qianlong and Du Zhi, who say that there is no fault in the ancient times, and there is nothing wrong with the rules." Isn't "evil" what you call it in this temple today, and you want to imitate the words of three generations of entrustment."

"I am here today to tell you with the words of Lord Shang: In the past, the ancient emperors all made laws according to the time, and made rituals according to the situation. Together, the country does not need to follow the law!"

"You and others say that enfeoffment is a beautiful policy for three generations, but the situation of the three generations in the past is very different from the situation in the world today. At that time, the world had not experienced five hundred years of wars. People in the world only heard about the feudal system, but did they know about the county system?"

"If you don't know the system of prefectures and counties, you can only follow the feudal way. Therefore, you and others claim that the feudalism of the three generations of ancients is kingly and beautiful, but in fact there was only one choice at that time! How can this be used as an eternal basis? How can we imitate everything?"

"My lords, the times are different! We have a better choice, why should we take the retro road!"

Zhao Tuo's voice was passionate, and he first attacked the basis of the "three generations of American politics" that the opponent insisted on.

Three generations practice feudalism because they have only one choice, and today's Daqin still has counties and counties to choose from, why should they learn from the three generations?

Hearing this, the lacquer carving among the doctors couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Zhou Xing enfeoffed, there are eight hundred years of the world, is it true? If you learn from the ancients, the country will last forever!"

Zhao Tuo responded loudly: "Eight hundred years? The eight hundred years you mentioned is actually only a hundred years of Zong Zhou. After the catastrophe of Quan Rong, Zhou still has the ability to rule the world?"

"The so-called Emperor Zhou is not only a puppet with a false name, but also a bad debtor who is forced into debt and unable to pay back the money to the creditor."

Hearing this, Gong Qing, who knew the allusion in the palace, suddenly laughed out loud.

That was the time of King Zhaoxiang. At that time, the Qin State was powerful and threatened the Guandong.

King Zhou Nan, the son of heaven, wanted to restart Hezong, contact the kingdoms of Shandong to attack Qin, and revive the glory of the son of heaven.

But at that time, King Zhou Nan was too poor, he could only have an army of a few thousand people, and he couldn't afford the military expenses of these thousands of soldiers.

King Nan of Zhou borrowed money from the rich and powerful families in the country, promising that after he would contact the princes and defeat Qin, he would return the loot with interest to the people of the country. The emperor personally borrowed money, and he really borrowed a lot.

King Zhou Nan was ambitious, and immediately led his troops westward, and at the same time called on all countries to send troops.

Faced with King Zhou Nan's call, some countries in the Kanto Kingdom took care of his face and sent some people symbolically, but most of them ignored it directly, which made it impossible to implement King Zhou Nan's plan to jointly attack Qin.

A few months later, King Zhou Nan's plan to attack Qin went bankrupt. Although he didn't fight a single battle, he spent all his military expenditures.

King Nan of Zhou had no money to pay back, so he ordered people to close the palace gate to keep the creditors out. The creditor was yelling and shouting outside to pay back the money. King Zhou Nan was upset when he heard it, so he hid in a high platform in the palace.

This is the origin of "heavy debts", and the king of Zhou Nan has become the highest-ranking old man in history.

There was a chuckle in the hall.

That’s right, Zhou has eight hundred years of empire, and in the end, he, the emperor of Zhou, can’t even pay back the money he borrowed from the country, and he is surrounded by creditors. Can this kind of empire be counted?

On the emperor's couch, Qin Shihuang smiled faintly, as if he was also laughed at by this funny incident.

But there was a cold light in his eyes.

In his eyes, the whole world belongs to the emperor.

Whatever the emperor wants, people in the world should ask for whatever they want.

How dare you ask money from the leader of the world?

Against them!

Zhou Tianzi's fate must be taken as a warning.

The lacquer carving was blushed by Zhao Tuo's example, but it's really hard to say that it has been eight hundred years.

Zhou Tianzi in the back was really aggrieved.

Seeing that Chun Yuyue and Qi Diao Bi were blocked by Zhao Tuo one after another, the doctor servant Zhou Qingchen frowned.

He said loudly: "Finish the vassals and build the guards to protect the central government. In the past, it was the system of enfeoffment in the Zhou Dynasty that was able to be rescued by the princes in the disaster of the dog army, and King Ping of Zhou was able to move eastward to Luoyi and continue the kingdom. Zuo! If there was no enfeoffment in Zhou in the past, who would be able to save him from such chaos?"

Zhou Qingchen is worthy of being a doctor's servant, and he pointed out one of the benefits of the enfeoffment system in one sentence.

That is to say, when the central court encounters a crisis, the princes can work hard to save the country and act as foreign ministers.

The important ministers in the palace nodded their heads again and again, which is indeed a great benefit.

Zhao Tuo narrowed his eyes slightly, remembering the knowledge he got from Li Shiqi last night, and said sharply, "Zhou Pushe wants to deceive me out of context?"

"You keep saying that the disaster of the dog army in the past was saved by the princes in order to save Zhou Zuo. Then why don't you say how the disaster of the dog army in Zong Zhou was caused? Isn't it all the so-called external actions in your mouth? The princes who assist the prime minister!"

"King Zhou You's change of crown prince is a matter for the emperor's family. But Shenhou, as a prince, united with the state of Yu, colluded with the dog army and fought against the emperor, and the disaster of Zong Zhou happened just now!"

"And after King You of Zhou was killed, the princes and princes of the state established Yu Chen as the son of heaven, in order to bring the king. Marquis Shen, Marquis of Jin, etc. made King Ping, who had colluded with the dog army, as the son of heaven! The two kings stood side by side and fought for two weeks. Hou attacked and killed King Xie of Zhou, and helped King Ping move eastward to Luoyi!"

"King Ping was a man who colluded with dogs and soldiers to kill his father, and was established as the son of heaven by the princes. At this point, the prestige of the emperor has been completely lost. There are those who cut the king's wheat, those who shoot the king's shoulders, and those who ask the weight of the nine tripods. The princes of the world Who really regards Emperor Zhou as the co-lord of the world!"

"So Zhou Pushe said that the princes who served as prime ministers were the ones who killed the emperor? The ones who established the emperor? Or the ones who wantonly bullied the emperor?"

There was no sound in the hall.

The doctors turned pale.

On the emperor's couch, Qin Shihuang's eyes were cold.

As Zhao Tuo said, the calamity of the dog army was caused by the collusion of the princes with the barbarians.

The feudal princes of the Zhou Dynasty killed the Emperor of Zhou!

"The so-called gentleman's fortune will be cut off for five generations. The system of enfeoffment may not be hindered by blood relatives in the previous generations, but as for hundreds of years later, the princes are alienated from each other, have mutual hatred for each other, and even rebel and kill the emperor. Isn't it even more catastrophic!"

Zhao Tuo's words did not end here. His voice became even louder, and he angrily reprimanded all the doctors who supported the enfeoffment: "No, the rebellion of the princes will not last until the fifth generation. The princes are talking about the benefits of enfeoffing the princes in the palace today. Didn't my country, Qin, enfeoff the feudal lords before?"

"My lords, you still remember the three rebellions of the Marquis of Shu in Qin Kingdom!"
