In the prime minister's house, all the doctors followed Wang Wan and warmly invited Zhao Tuo into the house.
Although it was not yet dark at this time, candles were already lit in the house.
In the exquisite bronze lamp, the firelight swayed, illuminating the room as bright as day.
"Master, please take a seat."
Wang Wan was very polite and always had a smile on her face.
On the way in, he kept talking funny words to Zhao Tuo, and Zhou Qingchen and others also told some allegorical stories from time to time, trying to make the atmosphere lively and cheerful.
Zhao Tuo was smiling. After seeing these doctors, he vaguely guessed what they were going to do.
But now that he has entered the prime minister's house, he has no choice but to be cautious in his words and actions, and from time to time chooses a few harmless words to echo the other party, but in fact he remains vigilant in his heart.
After a while, everyone sat down.
Wang Wan sat in the main seat, Zhao Tuo sat in the right seat, accompanied by Wang He, and the doctors sat opposite.
The beauties from the mansion, dressed in blue robes and white stockings, filed in carrying fruits and vegetables, bowed and placed them on the eucalyptus in front of everyone.
At the same time, wine was boiling in the room, and the faint aroma of wine filled the air.
"It's winter, and it's the time when oranges smell fragrant. These are the finest tangerines shipped from Huainan, the land of Chu. They have thin skin and sweet juice. Please give them a try."
Wang Wan said with a smile. There were a few oranges in the lacquer tray on everyone's bed. The golden color looked very pleasant.
The servant shot Zhou Qingchen and stroked his beard and smiled: "These oranges from Huainan are good. I heard that the chief concubine used to accompany General Li Xin to conquer Jingchu. When our army was betrayed by the rebels and was frustrated, the chief concubine made a decisive decision in the face of danger and crossed the Huaihe River.
The water struck Shouchun and finally achieved a world-shattering feat."
"It is said that at that time, the great concubine used Huainan tangerines to fill the stomachs of the soldiers so that they could achieve great achievements. The great concubine's ability is really admirable. In my opinion, these Huainan oranges can be called "General Zhao's Oranges"
Yes, haha."
After Zhou Qingchen finished speaking, another doctor immediately answered with a smile: "Haha, this "General Zhao Orange" is quite interesting. If we can really give it this name, when everyone eats Huainan oranges in the future, they will think of the concubine's conquest of Chu.
His amazing achievements at that time can be regarded as a beautiful story."
Several other people echoed the words of the two. They took this opportunity to taste Huainan citrus to praise Zhao Tuo's achievements in conquering Chu and to close the relationship between the two parties.
Hearing the boastful words from the crowd, Zhao Tuo forced a smile on his face, his hands on his knees were tightly clenched, and veins popped up on the backs of his hands.
After conquering Chu, Zhao Tuo ate all kinds of fruits except oranges. Whenever he saw these things, he felt his stomach twitching and felt like retching.
Two years later, he had almost forgotten about this thing, but suddenly Wang Wan brought it out and awakened the tragic memories of his past.
These people also use the name "General Zhao Orange". Isn't this an attempt to spite others?
Fortunately, Wang Wan invited him to the house this time, not just to treat him to oranges, but for a purpose.
After Zhao Tuo made a false response, the doctors stopped laughing and prepared to get down to business.
Wang Wan winked.
Among the doctors, Chunyu Yue, the one with a long face and short beard, spoke up and raised his hand to Zhao Tuo.
"I heard that the great general, a young man of great talent, aspired to become a marquis at a young age. He followed the Marquis of Wucheng to participate in the battle to destroy Yan and Chu, and even led an army to conquer Qi. He is certainly very familiar with the roads of the four directions."
"The journey from Qi to the land of Yan is thousands of miles away. Even if you ride a fast horse, it will take ten months. The army is conquering, and it takes a spring and autumn. I don't know what the chief concubine thinks of traveling from Xianyang to the land of Qi and Yan.
, is that okay?”
[An app that has been running stably for many years. It is comparable to the old book-chasing tool. It is used by all old bookworms.
However, precisely because Chunyu Yue was from Qi, Zhao Tuo couldn't talk nonsense in front of everyone.
After all, he is a dignified concubine, and he still has to be shameless when he speaks.
Zhao Tuo recalled in his mind how he led his army to travel thousands of miles between Qi and Qin, and the roads he took were sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, sometimes steep and sometimes dangerous.
Zhao Tuo shook his head and said truthfully: "Thousands of miles away, traveling back and forth is naturally inconvenient."
Seeing Zhao Tuo shaking his head, all the doctors looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.
A Confucian interface called Qi Piao Bi.
"What the chief concubine said is true. In the past, the world was in chaos and all the kingdoms were at war. Today, thanks to the divine power, the gods have made clear decisions, raised up righteous soldiers and put an end to the riots, so that the whole world can be pacified and the world can be settled."
"However, we see that the lands of Qi, Yan, and Chu are thousands of miles away from Guanzhong. If we were to issue an edict in Xianyang today, and use fast horses to gallop to spread the edict to the three places, it would take ten days or even a month.
It will take a long time before the Qin officials everywhere know about it."
"And once something happens in these three places, it will take a long time to spread it to Xianyang. In this way, it will be difficult for the imperial court to issue orders to the local areas, and local affairs will be difficult to hear in the ears of today. From this perspective,
, it’s extremely inconvenient.”
After finishing speaking, another doctor named Duanmu Gui spoke again: "Of course, in addition to the inconvenience of roads to and from Guanzhong, the folk customs of various places are also very different. Yanzhao is more prosperous, Qilu is more comfortable
, The people in all lands do not follow the laws of Qin, and like to be dissolute and comfortable. Today, they are governed by the same laws, and I am afraid there will be many inconveniences."
"In the past, the Zhou Dynasty conquered the Zhou Dynasty, and made its descendants and heroes establish territories and seal the territory. They built real ravines, real estates and real estates, and governed according to customs. Only in this way did the four directions become stable, barbarians entered the dynasty, and the world lasted for 800 years during the Zhou Dynasty."
As these Confucian scholars and doctors spoke one after another, they got closer to the core of this banquet.
Zhao Tuo felt sweat running down his back.
He had completely understood what these people wanted to say, and also understood the purpose of Wang Wan inviting him to the banquet.
Enfeoffment!
Sure enough, after these doctors expressed their opinions.
Chunyu Yue made a conclusion. He stared at Zhao Tuo with his eyes fixed on him and said in an excited voice: "I heard that Yin had a state of 600 years, and Zhou had a world of 800 years. They are all meritorious officials who are descendants of the outer seal, and they are their own branches and assistants."
"Nowadays, there are nobles in the sea, but their children are just like a common man. I don't know the number of people who have made great contributions to the noble ministers, but they don't have the title of a foot of land. If you do this in the future, if Tian Chang, a minister of the six ministers, commits treason, and
How can we help each other if there is no help from outside?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It is unheard of that people can last long without following the example of the past. Therefore, we would like to make suggestions and propose the strategy of enfeoffment. Please grant all the princes and meritorious deeds.
My ministers, fill in the remote areas of Yan, Liao, Chu, Yue, Qi and Lu, establish the territory of the four directions, and appease the four barbarians, so that Qin Zuo will be able to last forever and be his lord for eternity."
After the doctors finished speaking, Prime Minister Zuo Wang Wan looked at Zhao Tuo with a smile.
He opened his mouth and said: "The border areas are far away, and it is difficult for the Qin law to govern. Although the chief concubine proposed to move the clans of the six kingdoms into Guanzhong, this would be very expensive, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and would waste people and money. Even if all the clans of the six kingdoms moved in,
In Guanzhong, it is still difficult for the people in the homeland of the princes to govern according to the Qin law. It is better to rule them by enfeoffment, just like the old master Shang father governed Qi, follow the customs and simplify the etiquette, then there will be no need for the court to spend a single gold or a penny, and peace will be achieved in all directions."
"And the enfeoffment proposal we are talking about will not only bring peace to the country and benefit the people, but also allow the princes to enjoy glory. The noble ministers will also be able to get enfeoffments of a foot of land, and pass the land to future generations through their merits. Isn't it wonderful?"
After Wang Wan finished speaking, he added another sentence, saying: "We talked to the generals of the Xin family, the Yang family, and the Qiang Yougeng and other meritorious ministers, and they all praised it. I wonder what the chief concubine thinks of this discussion?"
At this point, Wang Wan and the other doctors had already come to a conclusion.
They tempted Zhao Tuo with the benefits of enfeoffing the land, hoping to get Zhao Tuo to agree with their proposal and propose the enfeoffment policy to the current emperor.
Zhao Tuo was a great contributor to the Qin State's unification of the world. Once Qin Shihuang really implemented the enfeoffment system, in addition to the princes, if he wanted to enfeoff the heroes, Zhao Tuo would naturally be indispensable.
He established a feudal land and established a country, he was called a lonely Taoist and a few people, and he passed down the country to future generations!
Aren’t you, Zhao Tuo, moved?
Wang Wan's eyes were bright and he believed
No one can resist the temptation to become the king of a country.
Zhao Tuo heard that his forehead was sweating and his eyes were red.
He raised his head and looked at Wang Wan in the main seat.
