After all, the monarch who initiated enfeoffment is still there, and he can control it most of the time.

Moreover, the central royal family has enough strength to say no to any local dissatisfaction.

Just like the Zhou royal family, it was so powerful at the beginning. Even if it enfeoffed hundreds of princes, the central royal family still had enough strength. At this time, regardless of any small princes, all the princes and uncles, as long as they dare to make trouble,

The ashes will be melted directly for you.

Therefore, at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, during the Three Prisons Rebellion, King Zhao's Southern Expedition, and even the war with the princes, the Zhou royal family at this time had great prestige, and they could tell the princes exactly what they wanted!

However, as more and more enfeoffments were made and Wang Ji became smaller and smaller, the strength of the Zhou royal family naturally became weaker and weaker, or not stronger.

Later, King Zhao's Southern Expedition took place, which wiped out the royal family's elite army for the first time. The prestige of the royal family was also greatly reduced for the first time.

The strength in your hands is no longer so strong, and others will certainly not be so afraid of you. This is an instinctive reaction.

And after that, if you continue to enfeoff, it will make matters worse!

In the end, even the landlord’s family really had no food left!

A boss who is strong enough can be respected by all his younger brothers.

However, it is impossible for a weak boss to gain the respect of all his younger brothers. Respect is possible, but fear is absolutely impossible.

To this extent, respecting you is a matter of affection and disrespecting you is a duty.

A potential problem with the Western Zhou Dynasty's enfeoffment system is that some originally unimpressive places were enfeoffed to some unimpressive princes, but later on they could only watch these princes grow stronger and stronger.

Because they conquered the local barbarians Rongdi!

After the conquest, there was a population and land, so it would be easy to develop and grow.

Therefore, Qi State, Yan State, Chu State, Jin State, and Qin State, the princes in these territories developed and grew one by one.

First, it annexed the barbarians, Rongdi, and when it developed enough, it began to covet the territories of other princes.

After King Ping moved eastward, everyone saw the decline of the royal family, so who had nothing to fear, they immediately began to annex the princes.

So, the vigorous Spring and Autumn War began.

In the end, it developed into several large families, and as the ministers came to power, the three families were divided into the Jin Dynasty, and they became the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. Everyone continued to fight until the Qin Dynasty was unified.

It can be said that the enfeoffment of princes was started by the Zhou Dynasty and maintained the rule of the Zhou Dynasty. However, it was also the reason for the demise of the Zhou Dynasty.

He was disrespected, bullied, devoured, and finally destroyed by the princes he enfeoffed!

It’s really a show where success and failure are divided.

"The Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by the feudal system, while the Qin Dynasty was established and prospered by the feudal system..."

Ying Zheng said, "If we continue to enfeoff, wouldn't it be self-sowing evil consequences?"

"That's what the village chief said!"

After hearing this, Li Si immediately nodded in agreement, "Da Qin must never enfeoff again!"

"But didn't Great Qin die in his second generation?"

After hearing this, Chunyu Yue couldn't help but argue, "If enfeoffment is implemented, that's not necessarily the case! After all, enfeoffment has protected the Zhou Dynasty for eight hundred years! Is this comparable?"

"Haha, even so..."

Zhao Long laughed and said, "The implementation of enfeoffment is still a slow poison! Moreover, we cannot compare the situation of the Zhou Dynasty with the Qin Dynasty! During the Zhou Dynasty, so many places in the Central Plains were wastelands. The so-called enfeoffment, even if it is close

The nobles are located in relatively distant cities and dangerous places, and those who are not very close to each other are enfeoffed in remote places!

Moreover, the well-field system was still implemented at that time. If there was a land foundation, there would be an economic foundation.

However, the Qin Dynasty was different! During the Qin Dynasty, the well-field system had long ago collapsed, and this was one of them. Moreover, during the Qin Dynasty, the Central Plains had just been pacified and conquered. It had not been settled for many years, and you started enfeoffing it again.

? Then if Qin Shihuang is still alive, it will be fine. If Qin Shihuang is gone, will the Qin court still have a king who can control it? After the enfeoffment, can it be ensured that those princes will be obedient for generations to come?

Apart from anything else, if there are no accidents and Fusu ascends the throne, wouldn't he be kind and wise like Fusu? The more kind and wise he is, the more lenient he will be to the princes. Do you think the princes will behave with their tails between their legs?

?

I guess not! The princes wish that the emperor would be extremely benevolent. In this way, no matter what kind of monster they are, no matter how they go beyond the control, they will be forgiven.

Become the emperor? Can he be? He can't be, he doesn't have the ability, you know?

Not to mention, he still has the idea of ​​replacing Legalism with Confucianism as the national policy. What do you think he will do when internal and external troubles are added? Do you think Qin Shihuang could have guessed this step? The country is gone, will he feel uncomfortable?

Bar?"

Buzz…

After hearing what Zhao Long said, Ying Zheng felt extremely heavy in his heart.

pain!

What Zhao Long said really touched on his sore spot!

And, it hurts, it hurts so much!

Isn't this what he has always been worried about?

What kind of enfeoffment is this?

Should we replace Legalism with Confucianism and Taoism as national policy?

Do you really not consider the internal and external troubles you will face when the time comes?

The country may be destroyed by you, but you still want to do it with a hammer!

Fusu was silent for a while after hearing this, and then he had no choice but to look at Chun Yuyue.

Chunyu Yue also had a wizened expression for a while, and then said, "Then...if all the gentlemen can bathe in the Confucian way of saints, I'm afraid it may not be as what the teacher said? Isn't this the importance of Confucianism? You see

,week……"

"Oh, Teacher Zhou Cun, if you want to say this, don't use the Zhou Dynasty as an example!"

Zhao Long smiled and said, "He was not suitable for the Zhou Dynasty. There are not many such examples in later dynasties, right?"

"Later...afterlife?"
