However, all the important civil and military ministers who had always been relied upon and deeply trusted by Emperor Qin Yingzheng all looked hesitant at this moment. You looked at me, I looked at you, but no one answered immediately.

Because what the First Emperor thought of, they also thought of it.

But it was precisely because they thought of it that they did not dare to answer rashly.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Qin Yingzheng frowned and asked again with dissatisfaction:

“All the ministers present are among the most intelligent people in the world!”

“Could it be that at this moment, Qin has seen the danger of national subjugation, but no one can come up with a solution?”

All the civil servants and generals present had wry smiles on their faces when they heard this.

The civil and military ministers who can stand in the court at this moment are not only the top talents in the world, but they are at least the top talents in the world. Brilliant.

But precisely because they are the world’s top talents and outstanding people, they have become more and more aware of how troublesome and difficult it is to solve the”threat of national subjugation” raised by the First Emperor! The military merit system is The foundation of the Qin State and millions of old Qin people are the foundation for supporting the military merit system.

Once the fairness of the military merit system is destroyed, it will destroy the foundation of the Qin State and it will be in conflict with millions of people. The old Qin people turned against each other.

No one”six hundred” can afford such consequences.

Not even the First Emperor!

Before the hearts of the original heads of the six kingdoms were truly conquered, the Qin State and the First Emperor would lose millions. The support and support of the old Qin people is self-destruction!

Now looking back at the scene of”The eldest son of the Qin Dynasty Fusu”, it seems that the whole world is rebelling, the six kingdoms are restored, and the Qin Dynasty is crumbling. This should be proved.

But after the Qin State wiped out the six kingdoms and unified the world, they also had to admit one thing, that is, the military merit system, with the demise of the six kingdoms, seemed to have come to an end, and it was difficult to maintain the land. Go on.

The simplest point is that the Great Qin Dynasty cannot create a massive military merit that is enough for the 20 million Guizhou capital of the original Six Kingdoms to”receive salary”.

Therefore, it continues to treat the military merit system strictly according to the principle of”no merit without merit”. , It is almost impossible to ask the people of the six countries to do so.

Moreover, the heads of the six countries in Guizhou were also very resistant to Qin’s”rewarding for military merit”.

Under such circumstances, Qin took the initiative to destroy the military merit system. In order to ensure fairness, it is almost inevitable to directly allocate acres of land to the original heads of the six kingdoms of Guizhou.

Unless Qin does not want the original heads of the six kingdoms of Guizhou to become Qin people who are obedient to Qin.

But in this way First of all, the Qin State can only conquer the Six Kingdoms and the heads of Guizhou by force at most, but it cannot really make the Six Kingdoms completely disappear and make the heads of the Six Kingdoms sincerely surrender. There will always be people in the hometown of the Six Kingdoms who want to restore. The flags of the Six Kingdoms rebelled again and again.

And the Qin State will never be able to truly become one country in the world!

Thinking of this, a group of civil servants and generals once again remembered the words of the prince Fusu on the sky:

“The military merit title system will wait for the Qin Dynasty to defeat the Six Kingdoms and unify the world, and then force the Qin Dynasty to choose between the old Qin people and the original heads of the Six Kingdoms.”

This sentence is so appropriate!

Now it’s just a matter of choosing one or the other!

But the question is, can they choose?

Judging from the sky of”The eldest son of Great Qin, Fusu”, it seems that they will be in the future. Between the old Qin people and the original six kingdoms of Guizhou, they finally chose the six kingdoms of Guizhou. As a result, the Qin Dynasty was about to collapse.

So this time, between the old Qin people and the original six kingdoms of Guizhou, they chose Lao Qin. People of Qin?

Apart from anything else, the Qin State, with the support of millions of old Qin people, is unlikely to be subjugated in any case. At most, it will return to the situation where various vassal states in the Central Plains compete for hegemony again. However, as soon as such an idea emerged, it was extinguished by a group of civil servants and generals.

Unifying the world was not only the wish of the ancestors of the Qin Kingdom, but also the wish of these civil servants and generals who had worked hard for their whole lives.

Now tell me They gave up the true unification of the world and returned to the situation where the various vassal states in the Central Plains competed for hegemony again. Not to mention that the First Emperor did not agree, they were unwilling.

At the same time, they also understood why the Qin State had so many great talents and talents, and the Shang Dynasty Jun, Zhang Yi, Fan Ju, Lu Buwei and others are all among the few wise men in the world.

However, no one has seen that there are such drawbacks and hidden dangers in the military merit and title system.

Because before them, whether it was Shang Jun or Zhang Yi, The era of Qin that Fan Ju and Lu Buwei lived in was still the era of Qin that Fan Ju and Lu Buwei lived in.

Either they were working hard for the unification of Qin, or at most they saw the dawn of Qin’s unification. However, even true unification could not be achieved, but Let’s think about the problems of Qin after the reunification.

If you say this, I’m afraid not everyone will laugh.

Don’t even talk about Shang Jun, Zhang Yi, Fan Ju, Lu Buwei and others, even if they are not mentioned by Prince Fusu on the sky screen Next time, they will not realize this problem.

But this is normal. Before Da Qin is truly unified, all they need to think about is how to unify!

Only after Da Qin is truly unified, will they need to further face it. Think about and solve the balance problem between the old Qin people and the original heads of the Six Kingdoms of Guizhou, and how to manage this huge world problem!

And when they thought about it, they realized that they and others seemed to be completely immersed in the eradication of the Qin Dynasty. In the joy of the six kingdoms and unifying the world, they did not notice the various problems hidden underneath after Qin unified the world.

They still used the original way of governing Qin and continued to govern the country that had wiped out the six kingdoms and unified the world. The new Qin State in the world!

However, this way of governance is obviously inappropriate.

As a result, now facing the First Emperor’s inquiry, none of them present can come up with a truly effective solution.

“Is it possible that none of your ministers can solve my worries and Qin’s worries?”

Qin Emperor Ying Zheng struck the sword hard again, the look of dissatisfaction on his face became more and more obvious, and his eyes fell on Li Si vaguely.

Seeing this, Tingwei Li Si gritted his teeth, stepped forward, lowered his head and held his hands. road:

“political reform!”

“How to change the military merit system!”

“Nowadays, the military merit and title system has become no longer applicable as the Qin State unified the world. On the basis of safeguarding the original interests of the Qin people, we should also take into account the interests of the former heads of the six countries of Guizhou.”

“Create a new set of laws again and promote them all over the world!”

As soon as these words came out, the other civil servants and generals present took a breath and looked at Li Si in shock. It is not that no one among them has thought of such a solution, but even if they had thought of it, they would not dare to propose it…….

Because the last person who carried out reforms in Qin was named Shang Yang, although the reforms were successful in the end.

However, Shang Yang’s end was that he was falsely accused of treason, he was defeated and died in the battle, his body was transported back to Xianyang, and his whole family was killed.

With the precedent of Shang Yang having such a tragic fate, Li Si still dared to say that he wanted to change the law. The other civil servants and generals had to admire Li Si’s courage, and at the same time secretly sighed in their hearts:

“Li Si is indeed a disciple of Legalism, just like the Shang Lord in the past!”

At this moment, Li Si, who was bowing his head and saluting, was about to cry.

As the leader of the Legalist family, how could he not know the fate of the former Shang Lord?

But did he have any choice?

He also wanted to become the ruler of Qin. Where’s the Prime Minister?

And the Emperor’s eyes frequently fall on him.

If he doesn’t stand up to respond and take responsibility at this time, then the Emperor probably won’t give him any shoes to wear in the future, but he probably wants to go further. It’s unlikely.

After all, it’s impossible for the First Emperor to promote or appoint a prime minister who dares not take on heavy responsibilities.

Especially when he needs the prime minister to take on heavy responsibilities.

But since he dares to stand up, it’s not impossible for him to stand up. A little bit sure.

Based on his understanding of the First Emperor and looking back at the relationship between the Qin monarchs and their respective prime ministers in the past dynasties.

We can roughly draw an inference, that is: the contemporary Qin monarchs and the contemporary reform prime ministers can actually basically say that the monarch and his ministers get along with each other. But with the passing of the old Qin Lord and the succession of the new Qin Lord, no one can continue to protect the old prime minister.

At the same time, the new Qin Lord also needs a suitable candidate to establish his authority and win over the ministers in the court. At this time, the old prime minister, who had offended many people by presiding over reforms before, would often become the first choice of the new Qin monarch. The prime minister with a better ending would either run away to another country, or be so scared that he would resign and go into seclusion.

The worse ending The Prime Minister of the country will either be killed or commit suicide.

So Li Si also wanted to understand that for his position as Prime Minister, the reform should be carried out.

4.1

The big deal is that after the reform is completed, if the First Emperor unfortunately dies in his In front of him, he would drink a glass of wine and follow the First Emperor directly.

In this way, he could not only change his wealth during his lifetime, but also preserve his reputation after death.

By then, even if the new Qin Jun succeeded to the throne, he would not be able to do anything to him, a dead man. What?

After all, he only offended other ministers with his reform. He did not harm the Qin State. On the contrary, it can be said that he made great contributions to the Qin State!

If the new Qin Lord wants to open his coffin and kill his body after his death, Or maybe it’s to liquidate the descendants of his family.

Then I’m afraid no one will dare to reform the Qin State or serve the Qin State in the future.

Qin Emperor Ying Zheng looked at Li Si who”bravely” stood up, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face , nodded and said:

“good!”

“Since Li Qing has this intention, Li Qing will be responsible for this matter!”

“After the curtain of heaven passed, Li Qing thought carefully about how to reform the law so that he could not alienate the old Qin people from the Qin State, but also make the leaders of the original six countries of Guizhou obey him.”

“There is no need to rush this matter, safety is the most important thing!”

Li Si nodded, as if he was looking forward to death, and nodded sharply in response:

“Yes, Your Majesty!”.
