When he woke up the next day, he still remembered the great things he had done yesterday.
The issues of enfeoffment and prefectures and counties were resolved at the Great Court Meeting, and the Chidao Plan was proposed. The Chidao Plan was successfully persuaded privately, and the original harsh Chidao rule in history was changed.
Of course, the most important thing is what Qin Shihuang said when he left.
The emperor will issue an edict to Zong Zheng and Feng Chang to fulfill his original promise to Zhao Tuo.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo took out an exquisite sachet.
The sachet is embroidered with a picture of two birds leaning on each other.
"Guan Guan Jujiu, in Hezhizhou..."
Zhao Tuo muttered softly.
It was a pity that after he led the army back to the country, the entire Qin Kingdom immediately began to transform into an imperial system. Dealing with the three kings, discussing the emperor's title, enfeoffment, and disputes between counties and counties, one after another major events came one after another, leaving him no chance to meet the people in the palace.
Of course, even if Zhao Tuo thought about it, as a foreign minister, he was not qualified to enter the inner palace.
Unless someone gets the emperor's consent and invites him later, but the emperor had so many things to do before, Fusu probably wouldn't dare to ask at that time.
"I haven't seen you for two years. I wonder how my beautiful lady is doing."
Zhao Tuo sighed quietly. Although the emperor had made a promise, it was impossible not to miss him in his heart.
Some people always think about emotional matters very complicated, but in fact they are not logical.
Sometimes, seeing the right eye is everything.
It doesn't have to be love, but it must be a heart-warming feeling.
Not to mention that after many contacts and interactions, the two parties became more in tune with each other and gradually fell in love with each other.
In addition, Zhao Tuo has been fighting abroad for a long time, and his army is filled with hundreds of thousands of strong men.
When you are alone late at night, you also need some emotional sustenance.
Of course, identity is also an important plus.
Just when Zhao Tuo was sighing in his heart, a messenger from the palace came to his house and brought Zhao Tuo exciting news.
"Master Fusu, please invite me to the palace to speak to you masters about how to conquer the six kingdoms?"
After Zhao Tuo came to his senses, his eyes lit up with joy, he quickly changed his clothes and entered the palace immediately.
It was just that he was quite excited when he came, but when he walked into the depths of Qin Palace and saw the young masters, he felt a little disappointed.
It turns out that what the messenger said was true. The person who asked Zhao Tuo to enter the palace this time was really to tell stories to you young masters.
In front of Fusu's palace, more than a dozen young men dressed in black stared at him with curious eyes.
Among them were Young Master Gao, Young Master Jianglu, Young Master Ronglu and others whom I had met before, and there were also more young Young Masters whom I had never seen before.
But the person he wanted to see was nowhere to be seen.
"My father said that the great concubine has extensive knowledge of the past and the present, and has fought on the battlefield to help me, the Qin Dynasty, unify the world. He knows the dangers of the world's feudal princes separatist forces. Therefore, he ordered me to ask the great concubine to come here and tell our brothers about the difficulties of unifying the world.
and the ills of enfeoffment."
Fusu had a clear voice, elegant manners, and smiled slightly at Zhao Tuo.
"It turns out that the emperor asked me to brainwash his sons."
Zhao Tuo's eyelids twitched slightly, and he guessed Qin Shihuang's intention.
In addition to the heroes of the empire, who benefited from the enfeoffment system, the biggest beneficiaries were naturally the princes of the emperor.
According to the rules set by Shang Yang in the Qin State, if a clan has no military merit, they are not allowed to have titles or hold official positions. In the Qin State, except for the future prince, other princes can have some status and enjoy wealth by virtue of their relationship as princes and heirs.
worship.
But when the emperor dies, the status of these princes will plummet, and their children can only enjoy the empty reputation of princes and grandchildren, without much benefit. In the future, their descendants will become common people and become the heads of Guizhou, disappearing from the rest of the world.
Compared with this, enfeoffing a local vassal can not only allow them to rule a country, but also make them rich and noble for generations. The benefits are endless.
Therefore, Qin Shihuang abolished the feudal system and established prefectures and counties. Naturally, all of his sons who had no hope of succeeding were disappointed, and even
There might even be some people harboring secret resentment in their hearts, so Zhao Tuo was asked to explain to them why they were not enfeoffed in order to clear their minds.
"Zhao Tuo, I have met all of you gentlemen."
Zhao Tuo saluted these young men.
All the gentlemen returned the gift one after another and announced their names.
Gongziwen.
Young Master Wu.
Young Master Chang.
…
A group of young men whose names they had never heard of saluted Zhao Tuo and said hello, giving him a general understanding of Qin Shihuang's sons.
Among them, the oldest ones below Fusu, Gongzi Wen and Gongzi Wu, were brothers. They were very attentive to Zhao Tuo and seemed to be quite trying to please him.
Zhao Tuo looked calm and just treated him with common courtesy.
It wasn't until he heard the youngest child report his name that Zhao Tuo's expression changed slightly.
"Hu Hai has met the great concubine."
The youngest child was only a few years old. He looked at Zhao Tuo with wide eyes and baby fat on his face. He looked a little cute.
Hu Hai!
What a little kid!
Zhao Tuo stared at Hu Hai in front of him, and couldn't help but clenched the hands in his sleeves into fists.
He had the urge to push the other person to the ground, take off his pants, and spank him hard.
"Hey, what does a concubine look like? Is it possible that there is some dirt on my face?"
Hu Hai blinked, tilted his head to look at Zhao Tuo, and touched his face randomly.
This action made Zhao Tuo's tense heart relax a lot.
Just a child.
Without the guidance of his brother Zhao in history, Hu Hai would not have done those things.
"The young master was joking. Zhao Tuo just saw that the young master is very smart and will definitely be a blessed person in the future."
Zhao Tuo grinned at Hu Hai.
Hu Hai shivered inexplicably when he saw the concubine showing his white teeth towards him.
After some pleasantries, Fusu invited Zhao Tuo into the palace and formally told the princes about his conquest.
"I used to join the army and follow General Li Xin..."
Zhao Tuo spoke slowly, and followed the emperor's request to talk about the unification war he had experienced from the beginning.
However, although Zhao Tuo was telling stories, his thoughts were not here.
The audience he wanted was not there.
Therefore, compared to the previous times when he was elated, this time he seemed a little less passionate and omitted many things.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But even so, you gentlemen also listened with great interest.
Before they were crowned, they all lived in the palace, rarely going out and not having much experience. They had never heard Zhao Tuo talk about various wars and local customs, and each one of them was caught by what Zhao Tuo said.
Heartbroken.
At the end, after Zhao Tuo finished talking about the war that destroyed Qi, he said: "Therefore, all wars are caused by enfeoffment. If our Qin country also enfeoffs the princes in various places after unifying the world, after several generations, the blood ties between the countries will be weak.
Bo, the war will be restarted. At that time, I don’t know how many years of war the world will experience, how many soldiers will die on the battlefield, blood will flow into rivers, and bones will cover the wilderness.”
"The Emperor Shengming saw this and wanted to keep the Xia Dynasty as one family forever, free from disputes and attacks, and restore peace and happiness to the world, so he abolished the enfeoffment and established counties and counties. You gentlemen should be aware of these painstaking efforts.
"
Zhao Tuo said this and made a summary of his speech.
"My father is a wise man who cares about the world."
"However, the system of enfeoffment is a system that brings chaos to the world and should be abolished."
All the princes immediately responded, especially the older ones such as Mr. Wen and Mr. Wu, who took the opportunity to flatter Qin Shihuang one by one.
Zhao Tuo watched with cold eyes, feeling that what these gentlemen were saying was just for the occasion.
If we talk about Hu Hai, Jiang Lu and other young princes may still respect Zhao Tuo's words.
Those older gentlemen have already understood the reality and the benefits of the enfeoffment system to them. How could they be persuaded by Zhao Tuo's words?
It's just a show.
However, Zhao Tuo thought it didn't matter. After all, among the princes of the Qin Dynasty, except for Hu Hai, who was most favored by the emperor and needed attention, the others basically couldn't make any big waves and could be ignored.
Zhao Tuo raised his head and glanced out the window. He saw that the sky was dim and it was almost dusk. Unknowingly, he still talked for so long. He stood up and said goodbye to all the gentlemen.
Fusu replied: "I would like to thank the chief concubine for making our brothers understand the difficulty of unifying the world. We should have sent the chief concubine out of the palace in person, but I want to give you a test, so I will send you off far away.
Yes, sir, please go slowly."
"Brother, we should send him to the chief concubine. This behavior is not in line with etiquette."
Gongzi Wen and Gongzi Wu shouted and showed flattering smiles to Zhao Tuo.
Fusu turned around and glared at them. After all, the eldest brother was the oldest, so the two young masters did not dare to speak again.
Fusu then saluted Zhao Tuo with a strange smile on his face.
Zhao Tuo was startled, remembering the scene when he entered the palace last time, and immediately understood.
Uncle, what a good man!
"You gentlemen, there is no need to see each other off."
Zhao Tuo hurriedly said goodbye and strode out of the house.
Outside the door of the house, the golden crow was setting in the west, and the sky and the earth were dim.
Zhao Tuo turned his head and looked at the corridor he saw last time.
It was there that the girl presented the pepper and the man presented the pendant, completing a ceremony unique to the two of them.
as expected.
Between the wooden pillars of the wooden fence, there was a girl in a black skirt, looking up eagerly.
She has changed.
Zhao Tuo sighed a little.
The girl has bright eyes and white teeth, a charming smile, and her appearance becomes more and more delicate.
And two years later, her figure is even taller and more graceful than before. The fullness of her chest holds up her clothes. The flowers that were once waiting to be bloomed are now in full bloom.
【In view of the general environment,
The princess is nineteen years old.
In later generations, he will be an adult.
Zhao Tuo groaned in his heart.
"Why, we haven't seen each other for two years. Have you forgotten me?"
Ying Yinman raised her beautiful eyebrows and snorted.
Zhao Tuo woke up with a start, strode over quickly, and said with a smile: "Qingqing Zijin, you are in my heart. Princess Yurong has always been in Zhao Tuo's heart. For hundreds of days in the past two years, how can I forget it even one day?"
Hearing this, Ying Yinman's face turned red.
"You are a swindler, and you are talking nonsense in front of me again."
While cursing, Ying Yinman glanced at Zhao Tuo's lower body. When she saw the familiar pendant hanging on Zhao Tuo's waist, she nodded with satisfaction, her face becoming more and more charming.
Until she raised her head and looked at Zhao Tuo's face getting closer and closer, her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled.
Zhao Tuo joked: "Why does the princess see me like this? Is there still rice on my face?"
Ying Yinman snorted, pretending to be disgusted and said: "It's not that you don't have millet, it's just that you turned black."
…
Just when Zhao Tuo met the princes and princesses in the palace.
Zongzheng and Fengchang, who were among the nine ministers, also received edicts from the emperor.
He was ordered to perform divination to choose a day to hold the crowning ceremony for the eldest son Fusu.
Next, the eldest son will marry the daughter of Tingwei.
At the same time, the emperor also ordered two ministers to discuss the marriage between the chief concubine Zhao Tuo and the princess Ying Yinman.
