"But many things in the Qin State over the past hundred years have not always been like this. Many people in the clan have become high nobles with some meritorious deeds."
"There are still some people who can achieve high status without any merit."
"Actually, military merit titles... have also changed and are not static. The current military merit titles are not the same as those of more than a hundred years ago."
"When an empire is first established, stability comes first in the long run. As long as the empire is stable, many troubles will no longer be troubles."
"The stable appearance of the empire, apart from the fact that the system and national policies cannot be changed at will, is that it is passed down by His Majesty's heirs."
"Since King Yu, hereditary blood inheritance cannot be changed." Lan
"Sure enough, Donghuang Taiyi of the Yin-Yang family can refine the elixir of immortality, so naturally we don't care about it."
"But...if it cannot be refined, Your Majesty will always have to find a successor to the empire in the future."
"If a young master is an ordinary person without meritorious deeds, in the future he will make meritorious deeds first and climb up the ladder step by step. It will be too difficult."
"Fusu has been practicing for many years, but he can only be crowned king."
"From the perspective of Xuanqing, each prince may have special experience. To rule the empire, one does not need to be proficient in hundreds of schools of thought and methods."
"Of course, it's better to be proficient and knowledgeable."
"Right now, Fusu's performance is not satisfactory to His Majesty. In a few years, some of the young men in Xianyang Palace will grow up." Lan
"It would be very difficult and time-consuming to get up from the ground up like Fu Su did, and it would be difficult to achieve success in an extreme time."
"Whether a person is suitable to be a king or an emperor can be seen through some things!"
"Just like whether a person is suitable for practicing the Way of Heaven, I only need to give him a lecture or two, and if I gain something, I will have enlightenment."
"If you don't get anything, it will be difficult."
"Fifth-level nobility and even royal nobility can be used by the clan's children. Those titles are nothing more than tools."
"The key is how to set the rules."
"There are also things that His Majesty has been deliberately avoiding for many years." Lan
"That's the difference between direct concubines and concubines."
"His Majesty's intention, Xuan Qing understands, is that he hopes that all the young masters will be born with the same status, so that the best ones can be selected from them in the future."
"It can also avoid some cluttered thoughts during the temple dynasty."
"But... His Majesty can do that thing. If there is a successor king and emperor, what about them?"
"The honor of the queen, the mother of the world, the great one of Kunning."
"A queen must be more noble. Otherwise, there will be no rules in the world, and the queen's honor will not be obvious."
"The princes born from the Queen are noble, which means they have innate advantages. It is not good for other princes." Lan.
"It is also easy to create conflicts between establishing direct descendants and establishing virtuous people."
"The Crown Prince!"
"This is also something that Your Majesty has avoided in recent years. There are certainly benefits. Under His Majesty's control, there will be no trouble."
"If the successor emperor, the emperor, does not have your majesty's means of control, your majesty's prowess, and does not establish a crown prince, trouble will easily arise."
"Because, without a prince, it means that there is a possibility of a prince, and there may be competition."
"When the empire was first established, His Majesty commanded the whole world, and with the power in hand, everyone bowed his head, whether in the temple, dynasty or in the army."
"Succeeding kings and emperors will hardly be as majestic as your majesty." Lan.
"Sure enough, I met some important ministers of the temple and dynasty with evil intentions, or some generals in the army with evil intentions."
"The country will be in chaos."
"His Majesty is the First Emperor, and it is almost impossible for his successors to be kings and emperors. It is almost impossible to surpass His Majesty in achievements."
"The empire's territory extends from the South China Sea in the south to the grasslands in the north. In a future battle with the Hu people, the empire has great hope of winning."
"In fact, the empire's borders can be pushed into the extremely cold regions of the north."
"Edom reaches the east of the sea, beyond the Liaodong Great Wall. Ye Teng is also preparing to use troops to capture the land outside the Great Wall and Jizi North Korea."
"To the west, in order to conquer the grassland, the land west of Hexi, the land of Wusun, the land of the Western Regions... will also fall under the empire's control."
"..."
Since we are chatting.
Then talk about some meaningful topics.
Zhou Qing sat behind the eucalyptus, playing with the tea cup, and talked a lot about the establishment of the fifth rank... It is not difficult in fact, the problem lies elsewhere.
The empire today!
is special.
It would be difficult for any emperor other than the emperor to control him.
Many things and problems exist. Because of the existence of Brother Huang, those problems are not hidden dangers. However, Brother Huang will indeed be in trouble in the future.
Hidden dangers still have to come out.
Twenty-first rank!
Fifth-class knight!
Heaven and earth, the emperor and the queen!
The Crown Prince and the Crown Prince ensure the stability of the country!
...Lan
One by one, one by one, it is a huge matter to solve any one of them.
Gongsun Li of Xianyang Palace is called Madam, but in fact she is the queen. Otherwise, Gongzi Gao will not accompany her on this trip.
The imperial brother loves the house and the crow, and gives advice to the young master along the way. He also allows himself to pay attention to and teach him.
That is the intention.
"..."
"..."
"You, I wanted to talk to you about the fifth rank, but you said those things..., which makes my heart feel much heavier at this moment." Lan.
"The prince!"
"There are some things that I will consider in my spare time."
"I long for the elixir of immortality from the Yin Yang family."
"I know that it is very difficult for Zhu Xia right now. It is difficult for anyone to control the overall situation except me. Therefore, I want to live longer."
"It's great to live forever."
"Even if I can't live forever, I still hope to live as long as the late King Zhaoxiang. This will be enough for me to solve many problems."
"Even if the elixir made by Donghuang Taiyi can help me live ten more years, the cost of millions or tens of millions of gold will be worth it." Lan
"I know that the pills that the prince took to me are precious, but it is a pity that they are of no use to me."
"The reason for this, His Excellency Dongjun, has also told me that those are Haotian's rules and those are the Human Emperor's methods."
"As long as I am not the emperor, the elixir you refined can easily help me live for more than a hundred years."
"However..., if you are not the Son of Heaven, you will lose your authority. In the days of the Five Emperors in ancient times, when kings abdicated, although the Five Emperors were fine, it was difficult for some people."
"One emperor and one courtier, that is the unchanging truth."
"I don't want that day to come."
"This world... I hope it can become better in my hands." Lan
"road!"
"The way of a prince is to practice and pursue the way of heaven!"
"The way of the Emperor is my way!"
"After I took charge of the Qinian Palace, this principle was settled."
"I left the queen's honor for Li'er, but unfortunately, Li'er didn't accept it."
"The Crown Prince."
"The warlords, over the past hundreds of years, I also know a lot about the troubles that have arisen due to the lack of a prince or prince in the country." Lan.
"But... I hope to choose a successor who is most suitable for the empire."
"The distinction between direct descendants and concubines is not important to me."
"Whatever suits the empire is the best."
"Instead of establishing a queen and a prince, you can choose the most suitable person from among the princes."
"Let them use their own methods, everything is under my control."
"yes!"
"I...if my life is approaching one day, what will my successors do?" Lan
"I don't know whether the successor will have the means I have to control the ministers!"
"Whether they will be like me and not establish a queen and a crown prince, I don't know!"
"..."
"The empire is so difficult."
"When I think about this, I have many plans for a complete solution."
"The prince has a perfect plan!"
The First Emperor Yingzheng sighed when he heard this.
Playing with a document on the eucalyptus also said a lot. No one hopes for the inheritance of the empire for eternity more than myself.
I hope that every monarch and emperor in the empire will be brave and wise.
Hope they can resolve any troubles and conflicts easily and forcefully.
That result... is difficult to determine and difficult to grasp.
"A foolproof solution?"
"Confucian Datong?"
"The Dharma is eternal?"
"What is the highest virtue in Taoism?"
"..."
"Everything is feasible, everything is difficult!"
"It is difficult to determine the seven emotions and six desires of human beings, which is the beginning of chaos."
There is a solution, of course.
Zhou Qing calculated with his fingers and had many methods.
All methods from various schools of thought can be used. As long as the prerequisites of those methods can be met 100%, the problem can be solved.
otherwise.
The trouble will always be there.
"..."
"The way of Dharma comes from the seven emotions and six desires of human beings."
“Confucian benevolence and courtesy!”
"That's why I value it so much. It can very well complement the shortcomings of the Dharma and complement each other's yin and yang."
"That's all." Lan
"That's all."
"The more I continue, I feel that there are more and more troubles in the world. Lord, please tell me what you think about the fifth-class nobles first!"
"Give me more reference."
All right.
The sound strategies mentioned by the princes and princes are all correct.
It's all feasible, but... it's difficult to reach the end.
Ying Zheng waved his hand and stopped thinking about that. In fact... he also knew many things and was doing them slowly.
Hope the problems can be solved one by one.
Fortunately for the prince, he told them all at once.
"Hahaha!"
"Your Majesty, drink tea!"
"Fifth-class Lord!"
"In Xuanqing's opinion, the crown prince and the crown prince of the country should not be chosen easily, but they must not be chosen irresponsibly."
"But it can be settled slowly." Lan
"The end of the fifth rank is the Crown Prince!"
"Children of the clan can be ranked as fifth-level nobles!"
"The bottom of the five ranks is baron, the one above is viscount, and the one above is earl!"
"Um."
"All sons of the emperor can initially be granted the title of earl!"
"A count is lower than a marquis, and is lower than a marquis of the twentieth rank. He is similar to a king. In the future, the matter of kingship can be eliminated."
"The queen's son can be a marquis!" Lan
"It's more noble after all."
"Then it will depend on your merit. If you participate in important military affairs, you will be promoted to marquis, duke or king if you have merit!"
"In this case, it can be dispensed with..., huh?"
"There's something going on outside!"
Let’s briefly talk about the arrangement of the fifth rank?
It's okay to talk about it. This matter is not trivial. You may have reference for what you said, and the opinions of the officials will also be there.
The final decision will be made by the Emperor's brother.
As he spoke, he raised his hand and took the kettle and a jar of millet leaf from the corner of the carriage. The vitality of heaven and earth circulated, and the ultimate power of transforming gods was perfectly displayed.
Otherwise, with just one thought, the vacuum will operate and the tea will be finished.
The boiling water rises, and the leaves fall into the cup.
In just one or twenty breaths, he stretched out his hand to push a cup of tea over. The fifth-level nobles kept talking about it. Along the way, the emperor also talked about this topic with him many times.
The prince and the crown prince must not be the first to make the decision according to the emperor's brother's wishes.
In this case, it would be better for a prince to have a lower starting point, and at most for a queen to have a higher starting point. The final position requires competition and choice.
"..." Lan
Ying Zheng smiled slightly, smoothed his beard and hair, and got some tea. Regarding the specific arrangements for the fifth rank, all the ministers had different opinions.
It's a pity that those ministers didn't dare to speak.
Li Si... was also a little more cautious.
It is very good for a prince to refer to this matter.
The lowest possible title for an emperor’s son is an earl?
Why not create a baronet?
Ying Zheng was a little puzzled. They were promoted from Baron, which showed their abilities.
As for the Duke or the Prince?
As long as the whole thing is perfect, then..., listening carefully to what the emperor brother said, I couldn't help but think about it deep in my heart.
Suddenly!
Ying Zheng, who was drinking genuine tea, was surprised when he felt the emperor's brother's sudden words. He raised his head and looked over, then followed the emperor's eyes and looked out of the carriage.
】
All obstacles, movement and silence are faint.
Boom!
Rumble!Lan
…
"There's an assassin!"
"There are assassins underground!"
"Protect Your Majesty!"
"Protect Your Majesty!"
"..."
Within a few seconds, the entire East Patrol team was in great chaos and chaos, and deafening sounds were heard.
There was also the sound of the Black Dragon Army soldiers constantly patrolling and fighting.
The earth trembles.
The roar of the void.
The rocking of the carriage.
Loud fighting.
…
"Assassin?"
"Underground assassins?"
Zhou Qing was surprised and slowly stood up.
Ying Zheng looked calm and stood up, walked to the wooden carriage window with a slight crack, and looked out the window.
There was already chaos there.
"Underground assassins?"
"It's rare for those people to figure it out!"
"The sound just now was a bit like exploding gunpowder. If it weren't for the special nature of the carriage, it would be hard to predict!" Lan
Sniffing the scent coming from the wooden window, Ying Zheng held the tea cup in his hand and was very surprised. The assassin who ran out from the underground?
How do those people know that they will definitely go here?
I don’t even know where I will go!
The deafening sound is very similar to the explosive gunpowder developed by the Shaofu and Huguo Academy. In recent years, it has been rarely used.
It was also used when attacking Chu. It defeated Ruyin in the shortest time and tore a hole in the Chu army's defense line.
Listening to the sound, the carriage is not very far away.
If it were a carriage made of ordinary wood, it would make a lot of noise, but this carriage was made by the Shaofu smelting a variety of fine gold and rare wood.
Invulnerable to swords, water and fire.
"Um?"
"What a big stone, a lot of strength!"
It is indeed a thing that explodes gunpowder. Before the unification of the empire, it appeared in the Shaofu and also in the Protectorate Academy.
Attacking Chu also had its outward appearance, and I think some people imitated it.
The smell is very unique.
It can be identified, and the emperor's brother also smelled it.
Outside the window, many people were fighting and fighting, and many masked men in black clothes were trying their best to attack the troika.
Along with it, there were stones as big as a human head or even larger in diameter, coming overwhelmingly, making a harsh sound as they broke through the air.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing couldn't help but raise his palms, and a mysterious purple light appeared on his body.
"It's slightly inappropriate, just block this place."
I wanted to use my profound strength to protect the carriage and isolate external things, but in a flash, I thought of the possible consequences.
He stretched out a palm and placed a blockade on the wooden window in front of him. If all the stones were shattered, those people would know where the emperor's true identity was.
