Chapter 172: The End of the First Emperor’s Influence
The military merit conferment system has been implemented in Da Qin for hundreds of years. It can be said that it has penetrated into all aspects of Da Qin. He directly ordered the destruction of the military merit conferment system. Even if Zhao Wen was the emperor and had absolute strength in his hands, there would be big trouble.
Using the method of the Han Dynasty was Zhao Wen's suggestion to the First Emperor in the past, but now, after he sat on the throne, Zhao Wen felt that he could not wait so long.
In Da Qin, only he can be supreme, not the system!
And making the family members of the four imperial concubines marquis was his first move to break the military merit conferment system!
The veteran who was the first to speak up suddenly had cold sweat on his face. To say that he maintained the military merit conferment system was tantamount to saying that he could not be loyal to the emperor!
A general is not loyal to the emperor. For this reason, let alone him, his family will probably die without a burial place. Not long ago, seven military nobles had their homes confiscated, and the female volume was welcomed in the Jiaofangsi.
Coming and going was a great shock to all the military nobles!
From this alone, we can know that these people have no status at all in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor.
But despite being loyal to the emperor, the emperor's will conflicts with the system that Da Qin has always maintained!
All the generals looked at Wang Jian, who was standing at the front of the generals, hoping that he, the first among the generals, would stand up and firmly safeguard the foundation of the Qin military.
After all, the military cabinet is in charge of all military affairs, and it is absolutely justified for Wang Jian, the chief assistant of the military cabinet, to maintain the most important system in the Qin army!
With Wang Jian's status as the Chief of the Military Pavilion and his military exploits, if he firmly refuses, even if the power in His Majesty's hands can overwhelm the entire Qin Dynasty, he must still consider it.
Wang Jian sneered in his heart. Since His Majesty came to the throne, he first appointed himself, who had been idle, as the chief assistant of the military pavilion, and then gave him internal energy and magic medicine. Based on the magic of Tianmen he saw that day, he would not even give him the method of becoming an immortal in the future.
It will be strange.
The emperor who treated him so politely just wanted to make several of his relatives Guannei Marquis, so he stood up to oppose it. What did he want to do? Could it be that he wanted to tell the emperor that his authority could suppress the imperial power!
Now the emperor raises this question just to let everyone know who the ministers of the Qin Empire are loyal to now, but he, the leader of the military, has stood up to oppose it, and this is not how he seeks death.
Moreover, among the four people sealed this time, three of them can be said to have been running rampant in the Chu land for hundreds of years. Together, they were able to suppress even the King of Chu back then. Such people were brought into the capital with the intention of cleaning up the local tyrants. This book
It was the great policy of Qin Dynasty, so he could not oppose it.
He looked down at the floor tiles in front of him motionlessly, as if there were flowers on them, without any intention of speaking.
The atmosphere in the hall gradually solidified, but the coldness on Zhao Wen's face became more and more serious.
If he remembered correctly, in the future, in this hall, Zhao Gao and even a eunuch would be able to suppress someone, and there would be a case of calling a deer a horse!
Being able to rely on Zhao Gao but unwilling to support him, how could he think that he would not dare to kill someone?
All the civil servants had smiles on their lips. The Great Qin court has always been filled with these military generals. These warriors are used to being arrogant and domineering, but they have forgotten that it is no longer the time to conquer the world, and His Majesty is not the emperor before the Great Qin. He needs to be relied on.
The general will stabilize the world.
Seeing that the emperor's face above is getting more and more ugly, all the generals below know that today, His Majesty obviously wants to know an answer from people like himself, what is he loyal to!
This is not only the military merit conferment system, but also the various ancestral systems of the Qin Dynasty. If you think about it more deeply, there is also the First Emperor who still lives in the palace and has become obviously younger.
Some people's faces were already pale, while more of them lowered their heads and remained silent like Wang Jian, hoping to get rid of today's incident.
The old emperor is still alive, and is most likely even in the apse. If he supports his majesty in breaking the ancestral law, how can he meet the first emperor in the future, or even claim to be a minister of the first emperor.
But if you object, the new emperor is watching from above. The imperial concubine's father, the uncle of the Qin Dynasty, only made a Guannei Marquis, not even a Chehou, and he didn't even have the actual number of households. You actually object!
Could it be that the princess's father is not as noble as you, a rough guy in the army? This is simply a life-threatening choice!
Just when there was silence in the palace, Wang Jian, the chief assistant of the military pavilion, gently raised his head, took a step forward, bowed respectfully, and said loudly: "I second the proposal!"
Many older military nobles looked at Wang Jian with contempt, as if he had tarnished the honor of the military nobles, but Wang Jian also stepped forward without hesitation and said loudly: "I second my opinion!"
Immediately, all the generals in the palace stepped forward at the same time, saluted and loudly said: "I second the proposal!"
No one is a fool. This is no longer a problem of a few Guan Neihou. With the strength controlled by His Majesty the Emperor, if the choice is wrong, the family will have no future in Daqin in the future. It is even difficult to say whether there will be a family in the future.
The First Emperor, who had been sitting quietly in the back hall, looked at the front hall with a very complicated expression. After a while, he sighed softly, stood up slowly and walked towards the back hall.
From today on, there will be no trace of myself in the Great Qin court!
He is still alive, but in the hearts of the ministers in the court, there is no longer the First Emperor in the world, and there is only a Supreme Emperor resting in the harem!
"Yes!" Zhao Wen nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, there were still many smart people in the court, and after today's incident, the First Emperor's supreme influence in the Qin Dynasty had come to an end.
In the future, even if the First Emperor is unwilling to be lonely and wants to come back, he will only be the Supreme Emperor of Qin, not the First Emperor!
Sitting down again very naturally, looking at the ministers below who looked as usual, Zhao Wen continued to talk about the next thing: "Since ancient times, the country has been destroyed without stopping sacrifices. Now that the world is unified, the cabinet will set aside a place according to the old rules of the royal family.
, it is a place of worship for the royal families of various countries, let them seal it!"
"There are also old ministers from various countries, as well as ministers loyal to the royal families of various countries, who can follow!"
"No!" Several members of the cabinet stepped forward and saluted at the same time.
This is an ancient ritual that has existed since ancient times. Since His Majesty the Emperor is unwilling to break this rule, the ministers in the court will naturally not object.
Moreover, the feudal status is still limited. Each of the royal family and nobles of Great Qin only has a fiefdom of tens of miles, and they are all in the wilderness. No one really cares whether these people will do anything big in the fiefdom!
As for the old ministers from various places, if they are really willing to go there, they will save Da Qin a lot of trouble!
Seeing that the emperor was planning to withdraw from the court after finishing his words, an old man stepped forward with an angry look on his face and loudly said: "I have a plan to report to you!"
