Zhou Qing raised his head and looked at the door of the room, his spiritual sense flashed, he was indeed Cai Ze, the newly established king, and there were several people not far away, who should be doctors from the academy.
"Invite me!"
Without hesitation, the words just fell out.
Gangchengjun Cai Ze went through four dynasties, from King Zhaoxiang, to King Xiaowen, to King Zhuangxiang, to Emperor Brother, and he stayed in Qin for decades.
Although his achievements are not very outstanding, his qualifications are still quite profound.
Although the Qin Dynasty didn't think much about seniority, after all, when he became the king, he was also a high-ranking noble. He put down the pen in his hand, put it on the pen stand, and stood up after committing suicide.
Xue'er had already stood up to prepare tea. As for Xiao Meng, she seemed to have not heard of it. She was still kneeling on the couch in front of the window, holding a book and reading it carefully, exuding an aura of tranquility all over her body.
"I've seen the prince!"
After a few breaths, in the reading side hall, Cai Ze, the newly-decorated monarch with white beard and hair, was dressed in regular clothes and bowed deeply. He had been in the Qin Dynasty for decades and was already very old.
However... my whole body is still full of energy.
A pair of old eyes are not muddy, but there are some mottled traces of time on the expression. Looking at the extremely young prince in front of him, he unconsciously feels emotion in his heart.
Etiquette has not been lost!
Lord Wuzhen!
The half-brother of His Majesty the First Emperor.
He entered Xianyang at a young age and made outstanding achievements. He was awarded the title of Lord Wu Zhenjun, then Marquis, and then Marquis. In terms of status, he was the first person in the Qin Temple Dynasty.
Compared with him, he is not far behind.
Even the response back then was not enough.
"Hahaha, you don't need to be polite."
"sit!"
"Xue'er, take...Lingnan Yunwu Fragrance Tea!"
Zhou Qing came forward, supported her with both hands, and guided her to the wooden case beside her. Then, he looked at Xue'er. He had been working here these days, and many things in the mansion were also there.
"yes."
Xueer smiled softly.
"I heard from people in the academy that the princes and princes have already accomplished the reform of characters. I also have an opinion. Square characters with regular and neat strokes have both pictographic meaning and the ability to express meaning."
"The book is much more beautiful if it is recorded on paper."
"This is a great event in the Xia Dynasty. I have been in the academy for many years and I have deep feelings about it."
Cai Ze took his seat and also smiled.
I am the first Grand Priest of the Central Academy, and it goes without saying that I have feelings for the academy. Many of the rules and regulations in the academy were implemented and passed down from my time.
Of course, what the princes and princes in front of me said was used as a model.
After all, there is a huge difference between the Central Academy and the Jixia Academy, let alone the National Protectorate Academy, which is much more important than the Central Academy.
The Central Academy can be regarded as the place where the elegance of all Xia has been passed down most completely among all Xia. The only thing that can compare with it is the Confucian Little Sage Manor.
After all, as the core foundation of Confucianism, Xiaoshengxian Manor has spent nearly a hundred years of Confucian efforts, and the Central Academy cannot compare in some aspects.
But... with the power of the whole country behind us, the Little Sage Village is not something to worry about.
Inheriting the elegance of all the summers, clearly understanding the ways of the elegance of all the summers, and also understanding that for Your Majesty, it is important and necessary to have the same text in the book. In the eyes of some people, it is to annihilate the elegance and etiquette of all countries.
In fact, it is a new life.
"Sure enough, if all the people in Xia can think like Lord Gangcheng, then... the world will be stable."
"The reform of the writing system has just been completed. If it goes quickly, it will be available in Zhuxia early next year."
Zhou Qing nodded.
Text unified.
It was a heavy blow to the grand occasion that all Xia dynasties had flourished for three generations.
However, it is more helpful.
If the inheritance of elegance is to last forever, the only way is to drop the seeds among all the peoples of Xia. As expected, elegances are different and obscure, so there is a danger of annihilation in itself.
Since the laws and regulations of the Qin Dynasty were issued, the tenth month of each year has been stipulated as the first year of the year, and now it is almost the next year.
As he said that, Xue'er on the side had already brought the tea.
"Try this velvet leaf."
"This is when I left Nanjun that year, I sent a message to Zhao Tuo, asking him to attack Lingnan, and by the way, I collected some rare millet leaves in the Xia Dynasty."
"This is a kind of cloud tea found in South Vietnam. The surface looks similar to other millet leaves. It can be brewed with hot water. After a few breaths, wisps of clouds will grow on their own."
"It lingers on the tea surface for a long time, and the fragrance is delicate and elegant. I like it very much."
Taking the jasper tea cup, he watched the clouds rising in his hand and the mellow fragrance filling the air. He placed it to his mouth, and the aroma lingered all over his body. Zhou Qing said as he took a sip.
Although he drank it many times, Zhou Qing still liked the taste.
"The tea that the princes like is naturally good."
"Zhao Tuo is also a thoughtful person. I heard that he is less than twenty years old and is already worthy of being a noble scholar. He will definitely become the backbone of the Qin Army in the future."
Cai Ze also took the tea and sniffed it lightly.
Nodding.
It is indeed a new kind of tea. After blowing lightly to pass the heat, I took a sip and the aroma spread to my lips and teeth, leaving a long aftertaste.
As for the people of Zhao Tuo mentioned by the princes, they also know it.
At the first court meeting after one day, Duke Zhao Tuo was awarded the twelfth-class title Zuo Geng!
Among all the titles conferred, it seems that he is not prominent, but how old is Zhao Tuo?
And who is behind Zhao Tuo?
Not to mention, when Zhao Tuo succeeds in his attack on Lingnan, his title will be greatly improved, and at least he will be a junior high.
After a long period of qualifications, there are very few people in the military who are ranked high.
"I have always liked that child, and he is worthy of my appreciation."
Zhou Qing smiled again.
Zhao Tuo!
After being trained by Qianhong and Guowei Mansion, coupled with his own guidance, and years of experience, he has become successful and has been tempered by Lingnan.
Can be of great use.
"Gangchengjun came to see me. He must have something important to do."
"But it doesn't matter."
After some small talk, Zhou Qing placed the tea cup in his hand on the table and looked at Gangchengjun Cai Ze in front of him.
There is a saying that goes well, no matter what happens, don’t go to the Three Treasures Palace.
If it was about the reform of the writing system, given Gangchengjun's status in the Central Academy, there was no need to come to see him. The doctors from the academy could handle it well.
In this case, it can only be other things.
Still not a simple matter.
"Haha, the prince is really smart."
"Since the prince has said this, I really have something to discuss with the prince."
Cai Ze also laughed loudly. In fact, he didn't want to find the prince for this matter, but it was requested by some people, so he had to come.
They are all old friends from the past, and some are students that I like.
"Female princes?"
"County as one?"
Zhou Qing said directly.
"This..., the prince is indeed an extraordinary person."
"That's exactly what happened."
"I wonder how the prefectures and princes view the feudal lords and the prefectures and counties as a whole?"
When Gangchengjun Cai Ze heard this, he straightened his waist and bowed deeply.
It is indeed for these eight words that the prince said.
The feudal lords!
County as one!
It seems like they are just two different systems, but in fact they involve many things.
Great impact!
"What do you think, Gosei-kun?"
Even without using magical powers, Zhou Qing could guess the origin of Cai Ze's trip and could help him find him. There was only one related thing.
Ask for your own opinion.
Your own opinion?
I don’t seem to have any opinions!
"Junhou."
"I think what Wang Wan said is quite reasonable."
Now that we are here, there is no need to hide some things. There are no outsiders in this side hall, and the two women are the prince's companions.
The reason why I came to look for the prince is because of the unique status of the prince.
In terms of status, the prince was the first person in the temple dynasty.
In terms of blood, he is His Majesty's half-brother.
In any case, the princes of the county will not oppose the feudal princes.
As expected, Your Majesty has granted you the status of a feudal lord, and with your ability as a prince, you can definitely inherit a vassal state and continue to have descendants, which is a great honor.
No one will be unmoved.
Although the prince is an expert in the Tianzong, he has been in Qin for many years. Even if it is not for himself, he should still be plotted by his descendants. The prince does not need to care about the feudal princes.
What about future generations?
Those are feudal lords!
Not any other reward.
In addition, His Majesty attaches great importance to the prince. Sure enough, the words of the prince must have great weight. Coupled with Wang Wan's power, Li Si is not worried.
What's more, Wang Wan was not against the integration of prefectures and counties. He just proposed to give remote places such as Yan, Liaodong, Qilu, Nanchu, and Jiangnan to the feudal princes.
It does not harm the power of Qin.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the princes and princes have rarely spoken, but no one can ignore the words of the princes and princes.
Wang Wan thought this was an opportunity.
Cai Ze also thought it was an opportunity.
"At the great court meeting, the prime ministers and court officials were quarreling, and I also know what they said."
"There is some truth in what both of them said."
"And... I believe that Xiangbang has no selfish motives, and Your Majesty also knows this."
"The feudal lords of the country are integrated into the counties and counties, and the involvement is not small."
"If Mr. Gangcheng wants to know what I am thinking, then I can also express it clearly. For me, both are fine."
"This prince is ranked as a county prince. If he is not beheaded for five generations, he will be demoted to Chehou after five generations!"
"This is already a great honor."
"For me, it makes no difference whether I am a feudal lord or not. Even if I am a lord, I will advise your majesty in the future, and I will extend my favor to you after the kingdoms have stabilized their rule over the lands."
"Divide the feudal lords into each other and consolidate their authority."
"As for the integration of counties and counties, the problems we face are just a little bigger. However, no matter how big the problem is, can it be bigger than the great Qin Dong going out to attack and destroy other countries?"
"Therefore, it is necessary to veto the feudal lords of the country, and the counties and counties are in the hands of your majesty, not this prince."
Zhou Qing gave a clear answer.
When Gangcheng Jun came, he knew from the beginning that he wanted to make suggestions in front of the emperor brother, and he was inclined to confederate the princes. In fact, that was what he had thought from the beginning.
First, establish feudal princes, and use the powerful power of the feudal country to suppress the restoration of those remote places.
Decades later, the power of the restoration was weak, and they began to rectify the feudal princes one by one. Under the order of favor, the feudal countries were weak, and they were supplemented by counties and counties.
Yandi, Qilu, Nanchu... places that were previously difficult to regulate will all be brought under the jurisdiction of Xianyang. This is a safer approach.
It is also the most gentle approach.
In the course of time, Da Qin indeed had this strategy, and it would not collapse instantly.
It can only be said that Brother Huang’s steps are a bit big!
Of course, the imperial brother's methods are enough to suppress all evildoers.
But... Canglong Qisu?
Star ancient covenant?
…
A little tricky.
"Can the prince...?"
It is very obvious that Gang Chengjun is not satisfied with this answer.
The intention of the princes and princes is to withdraw from other things, and do not want to worry about the feudal princes and the affairs of the counties and counties as a whole.
Although the prince's reasons are sufficient.
The position of a prince would not be eliminated for five generations. After five generations, he would be demoted to the title of Chehou, and he would continue to be lowered according to the normal Qin title. In this way... one or two hundred years later, the descendants of the princes will still be prominent.
Whether or not the feudal lords are enfeoffed does not have much impact.
However, this is not what I want.
"Gangcheng-kun is working as a lobbyist for some people?"
Zhou Qing waved his hand, took the tea cup on the table, and sipped lightly again.
Wang Wan's words are not selfish.
Some people may not be sure.
The reason why those people wanted to enfeoff the feudal lords of Great Qin was that they did not want to be under the rule of law of Great Qin and wanted stability within the enfeoffed state.
On the other hand, some people hope to govern the world with the teachings of kings, benevolence and virtue, but this is obviously not feasible in Xianyang, Guanzhong, so they can only look elsewhere.
The third one is far away from the control of the Xianyang Central Center of the Great Qin Dynasty. Many restoration forces and restoration people... can be much more active, at least they can act normally.
…
Zhou Qing believes that Cai Ze will not be unclear about this.
"Not so."
"The feudal princes...I think it is more in line with the current situation of the Qin Dynasty. Since the three generations, the princes have risen together, and the feudal princes are not without merit."
"Your Majesty is very fond of Legalism, and even more fond of the book "Han Feizi". I have read a lot of Han Fei's words. Although I cannot say that I can grasp your Majesty's heart, I can still touch a few of them."
"Prefectures and counties are integrated, and important decisions are made in Xianyang. If things go on like this, the prefectures and counties will be weak. If the prefectures and counties are weak, the country will be weak. If the country is weak, the law will be weak."
"A weak law is undoubtedly the beginning of chaos!"
"The princes of the feudal country may divide your majesty's authority, but... grant the blood of the royal family to control the four directions, govern the four directions, and protect the emperor Xianyang."
"Even if I am a prince, I still want to win over the Qin clan, and the Xia are still in my hands!"
"What do you think the prince thinks?"
After staying in Xianyang for decades and being Wen Xinhou, although I am not the center of Xianyang, I know... many things.
Even more, I can observe His Majesty as a bystander!
County as one!
You can figure out the advantages and disadvantages yourself.
The feudal lords!
The advantages and disadvantages are also obvious and have been proven over thousands of years.
What's more, no system is perfect, and the flaws in the integration of counties and counties are also obvious. All matters, big and small, are decided in Xianyang.
If things go on like this, counties will become weak. This is inevitable!
There are many counties and counties in the country. If the counties and counties are weak, the country is naturally weak, and there are many things that show weakness.
As for the legalism of Qin!
Legalism is naturally excellent, but Lord Shang once said that the true strength of Legalism lies in the monarch. Sure enough, if the monarch abides by the law and understands the law, then Legalism will be extremely strong and the country will be extremely strong.
The Qin State has unified all the Xia for more than a hundred years, which is a clear proof.
However, the power of Legalism lies in the hands of the monarch. Who can guarantee that every monarch will be as heroic as Your Majesty?
Sure enough, what should we do if we meet a mediocre monarch or a foolish monarch?
If you hold magic power in your hands, the Legalist way will be in chaos.
This is very likely to happen, because the law is a rule created by people, and how to manipulate it is also in people's hands.
Sure enough, the feudal princes of the country were all of the Qin clan blood. When the emperor's land was strong, the Xia had no worries, and the princes guarded the four directions.
Sure enough, the empire is weak, and even if there is chaos among the princes for three generations, it will only be an internal fight between the Qin clan. No matter who wins in the end, the world will only be in the hands of Qin.
This...don't the prince want it?
Doesn't His Majesty want it?
"Mr. Gangcheng is worthy of being a veteran of the country!"
Zhou Qing praised.
This is the first time that someone has made it clear in front of me that the counties and counties are integrated and the feudal lords are included in the country. What they say is quite reasonable, and I appreciate it very much.
"Counties and counties are integrated, and their expertise lies at the top."
"The disadvantages of feudal lords are the following!"
"This point..., after the Qin Dynasty destroyed Chu, your Majesty had a discussion with me, and I told you this."
"The two are left to your Majesty's discretion."
Zhou Qing stood up after committing the crime and casually looked out the window. The sun was shining brightly today, and the summer scenery inside the academy was still beautiful.
Putting his hands behind his back, he responded to Gangchengjun Cai Ze.
Know the pros and cons and then decide.
Zhou Qing was also somewhat uncertain about the future path. After all... one thought was certain, that is, it was unlikely that the feudal feudal feuds of the Spring and Autumn Period would reappear among the Xia.
The unification of the Xia began with the Qin Dynasty!
