Chapter 329: Simple enfeoffment will inevitably lead to disaster in the future

This is not a boast. When Ying Zheng ruled the Qin Dynasty, there were really no direct and thorny ministerial issues.

After all, he can be regarded as a pioneer with extremely great prestige, and coupled with Lao Qin's respect for royal power, no one dared to have any objections.

Of course this is not entirely a good thing...

For example, when Hu Hai, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, ascended the throne and became the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, even if he acted recklessly, the officials did not dare to raise any objection or substantively dissuade him.

As a result, Hu Hai directly brought the Qin Dynasty into chaos, and brought disaster to such a powerful country.

Centralization of power is naturally a good thing. He can have the most powerful execution power, eliminate all obstacles, and solve problems as quickly and easily as possible!

However, when the executor has a clear mind, the impact of an incorrect instruction will naturally be devastating.

"However, although Zhou Bo and his gang are quite prominent, they were eventually liquidated."

Zhao Long laughed and said, "The reason why he is awesome is because his son is also awesome!"

"His son?"

"Yes, his son, Zhou Yafu!"

Zhao Long said, "His son Zhou Yafu single-handedly led 100,000 imperial troops and defeated 300,000 Wu-Chu coalition forces. This was considered a good military miracle in ancient times."

Of course, what Zhao Long did not say was that it was actually these 300,000 people who had to fight against the city wall of Emperor Han Jing and his younger brother, King Liu Wu of Liang.

An army of 300,000 people could clearly attack Chang'an directly by taking a detour, but in the end, they had to use 300,000 people to attack Liu Wu's fiefdom.

As a result, Liu Wuxin said that I am the emperor's younger brother. If the emperor is gone, I will be gone too. I have to fight.

Then he fought with the Wu-Chu coalition for three months.

Liu Bi was not convinced and said to himself, "I am 300,000 versus 100,000. I have the advantage. Why should I retreat?"

How demoralizing is that?

knock!

Then, Zhou Yafu saw the opportunity and waited for work. He destroyed the food and grass first and then outflanked them, destroying the 300,000 Wu-Chu coalition forces.

Uh...huh?

What? What did you say?

Upon hearing Zhao Long's words, Ying Zheng and Li Si were suddenly startled and confused.

"Sir, where did Wu Chu come from? Could it be that he is also a descendant of Liu Bang?"

"Yes, but it's not right either..."

Zhao Long smiled and said, "Wu and Chu are both big countries that were entrusted by the Han Dynasty. However, these two big countries are not actually Liu Bang's sons. Wu is Liu Bi, the son of Liu Bang's second brother Liu Zhong, and Chu is Liu Bang's younger brother.

Liu Jiao's grandson Liu Wu, these two people are actually Liu Bang's brothers and descendants..."

"Combine your brothers and their descendants as kings..."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, "As time goes by, things will inevitably change!"

"Haha, from a human perspective, it is like this." www.81zw.??m

Zhao Long laughed and said, "If you are close to your brother, at most you will be close to your brother's child, but your child may not be more close to your brother's child. It will be even harder for the next generation!"

Liu Bang's intention was also good. While weakening the king with a different surname, he also took care of his own clan. However, relatives and relatives were just like this. As they lived, they became more and more distant.

Not to mention anything else, the division of family property between brothers has been an unsolved problem for ages, let alone a family united by a country? It is inevitable that there will be rebellion and mutual enmity in the future.

Otherwise, do you think there are many people with the surname Wang and Li now? To put it bluntly, many of them are from the same family! But so what, after meeting you now, at most I will say a few polite words, should I cheat you?

Trick you!"

"But it is so!"

After Ying Zheng heard this, he sighed and laughed.

The Ying family of the Qin State and the Zhao family of the Zhao State were originally from the same family and were both descendants of Zaofu. But in the end, weren't they still fighting to the death over the territory?

Bloodline, once there is a slight distance, there is basically no sense of family affection.

Of course, ancient times were better than modern times. After all, the Zhou Dynasty left a patriarchal system to Chinese civilization.

In modern times, more and more people do not take blood and kinship seriously.

And Ying Zheng actually has a relatively deep understanding of this issue.

Therefore, after he unified the six kingdoms, many people suggested that Yingzheng implement the enfeoffment system so that his sons, clan members, and those heroes could all be enfeoffed, which would be a great feeling for them all.

However, Ying Zheng refused.

Ying Zheng said that after the enfeoffment, within a few generations, they would inevitably become enemies with each other!

When the time comes, the descendants will attack each other, power will fall, and the country will be in disarray. The descendants of the Zhao family will eventually become puppets, or disappear into the dust.

Instead of doing this, it would be better not to let them feel happy for a while, but to let Ying, whose surname is Zhao, have a guaranteed feeling of happiness.

At least, with the lineage of imperial power, as long as centralization of power is maintained, and as long as the imperial power of the Ying Zhao family is maintained, then the Ying Zhao family can control the core of power and never fall!

Of course, he thought a little too much, but he didn't expect that the second generation would fall.

but……

Later dynasties basically followed his example. Even if they engaged in enfeoffment, they also insisted on a centralized system of power.

As a result, the Liu Han imperial power lasted for more than two hundred years. Counting Shu, the Liu family had been emperor for a total of about 440 years and controlled imperial power for more than 400 years.

Of course, the Wang Mang New Dynasty in the middle must be excluded.

In addition, the Li and Tang Dynasties lasted for 290 years, the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty lasted for 320 years, and the Zhu and Ming Dynasties lasted for more than 270 years.

I don't divide the feudal clans, and my sons may not all be happy, but my children and grandchildren will always be happy, and at least the imperial power is guaranteed.

If you rush to enfeoff, your descendants will inevitably attack and fight each other, and it is very likely that they will have different surnames. They will take advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters and lose your kingdom.
