This first emperor is awesome

Is everything west of the river reversed?

Take my kindness as weakness, and I will let you understand that those who betray the empire will die without a place to die.

"The minister immediately sent someone to do it."

Ting Wei Wang Guan bowed his hands again.

"It has been more than four years since today's unification, and the temporary policy of appeasing the nobles of the six countries in the past is no longer in line with the time."

"What do you ladies think?"

Yingzheng once again dropped a blockbuster, which caused an uproar among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the people of Chu know the rituals and music of Jing and Chu when they rule Chu, the prosperity of Wei when they rule Wei, and the customs of Zhao when they rule Zhao..."

The Taizhong doctor came out and remonstrated with Ying Zheng.

"You mean that Qin people don't know rituals and music? Guanzhong is not as prosperous as Wei? Zhao's customs are not Daqin's customs?"

Ying Zheng's face was cold, staring at the Taizhong doctor, and questioning each word.

The Taizhong doctor immediately lowered his head, with a look of astonishment on his face.

Do you mean this yourself?

Obviously, it means that Chu people are more familiar with Chu's customs and customs than people from other places, Wei people understand Wei's business exchanges better, and Zhao people know more about Zhao's tough folk customs.

Why did my own words completely change when it came into His Majesty's mouth?

What a crime of disrespect!

Where did he dare to say any more, he could only stand there with his head down obediently, like a child who did something wrong, waiting for his parents to punish him.

"Your Majesty, if the people of Zhao rule Chu, the people of Chu rule Wei, and the people of Wei rule Zhao, what is the prestige of the government?"

Doctor Zhong also stood up and said.

"Does the world belong to Chu people, Zhao people, Yan people, Wei people, Qi people, Han people? Or Daqin people? The prestige of the government depends on the local dignitaries to maintain it. What is the use of the government?"

Ying Zheng asked again.

"Your Majesty, although the six kingdoms of Shandong are dead, they can govern the vast land of the six kingdoms. Without the support of the local nobles, how will the government officials and government orders be passed?"

Doctor Jianyi stood up and spoke.

"Then how about giving up the land of the six kingdoms in Shandong and allowing them to restore their autonomy, and the Qin people shrink back to Guanzhong?"

Ying Zheng said neither salty nor light.

"Your Majesty needs to be cautious with this order. One hair will affect the whole body. If the old six kingdoms rise up, it may shake the foundation of the country."

Yushi Cheng Bailihua also said worriedly.

"I will give them a chance. If I can sweep the six kingdoms once, I will be able to rule the world a second time. I will destroy the six kingdoms again. I want to see who in this world can shake the Great Qin Empire."

Sitting on the throne, Ying Zheng looked calm and calm. Although his voice was not loud, it exuded endless domineering.

"Your Majesty is mighty, Great Qin Wannian."

Immediately, all the civil and military ministers in the hall stood up, bowed to Ying Zheng, and said respectfully.

Many intelligent people have read the unusual meaning from His Majesty's words.

Your Majesty is simply forcing the nobles of the six countries to rebel, so that they can be justifiably destroyed.

"From now on, the people of Chu will not rule Chu, the people of Zhao will not rule Zhao, the people of Yan will not rule Yan, the people of Qi will not rule Qi, the people of Wei will not rule Wei, the people of Han will not rule Han, and the people of Qin will not rule Qin."

"Ten years is a term of office, and they are transferred to the nearest place, from the county guard to the county magistrate. All officials of the empire are not allowed to be officials in their hometown, and those who violate the order will be dismissed from office."

Ying Zheng's words were like a boulder falling from the sky and falling into the calm sea, causing huge waves.

"Your Majesty would like to abide by His Majesty's sacred instructions."

All the civil and military ministers immediately stood up and bowed their hands.

Some people are happy and some are worried, but there are beneficiaries and beneficiaries in every reform and implementation of the New Deal.

But in any case, with His Majesty's tough attitude, who can reverse the trend of Tao Tao?

If you can't, you can only follow the trend, otherwise you will hit one head and bleed, and even be convicted.

"I feel that my energy is not as good as before. Today, all the lovers are here, so let's discuss with you young masters, who can take on the burden of the crown prince."

Ying Zheng looked at the ministers who had just finished, and said again in shock.

The officials below immediately whispered to each other, and discussions arose one after another.

There are nearly thirty sons under His Majesty's knees, most of whom are crowned.

Among all the sons, the eldest son Fusu is the most outstanding and is well-known.

Regardless of the ruling and opposition parties, who doesn't know the virtuous name of the eldest son Fusu?

"Your Majesty, the eldest son Fu Su Renyi is humble, and should be the crown prince."

"Sir, second."

"Sir, second."

After Censor Cheng Bailihua spoke first, most of the ministers immediately seconded their opinions.

Only Li Si, Feng Quji, Wang Jian, Meng Yi and others, because of their high positions, were highly valued by His Majesty, and they dared not express their views before knowing the Sacred Heart.

There are also a small half of the ministers, who are either in high positions, or are honored children who have been favored by the emperor.

Their family has been officials for generations, and they are well aware of the cruelty of court struggles, so they are unwilling to express their views easily.

On the other hand, those who strongly recommend the eldest son to help Su are either rootless people, or some petty officials who are in idle positions and have no power in their hands.

The ministers who really held the real power almost all kept silent with a tacit understanding.

They are already extremely human ministers, and they don't have the heart to cling to those petty officials.

Ying Zheng looked at the whole court of civil and military officials with almost one voice, and strongly recommended Fusu.

In addition to three points of relief in the heart, there is seven points of vigilance.

Although those ministers who hold important positions have not expressed their views, but from this we can get a glimpse of the whole leopard.

They don't say it because they understand who is the supreme ruler of the Great Qin and who gave them the supreme glory.

Except for those who are not favored by Fusu, most of them should support the eldest son Fusu as the heir apparent just like those who strongly recommended Fusu.

Meng Tian is his confidant general, but he is also a strong supporter of Fusu.

I also like Fusu very much. In troubled times, heavy codes are needed, while in prosperous times, benevolent governance is applied.

However, if Fusu succeeds to the throne, his admiration for Confucianism will definitely promote Confucianism.

The situation in which later generations respected Confucianism and dismissed hundreds of schools was not the result I wanted.

Confucianism is indeed conducive to consolidating the stability of the empire, but there are also many prejudices that make people pedantic and old-fashioned.

In a world of great controversy, being stubborn, getting drunk behind closed doors, and singing praises is tantamount to cutting off the way forward.

A hundred schools of thought contend and bloom one after another. Only when the ruler is long and the inch is short, can we grow vigorously.

As far as I am concerned, whether it is Confucianism, Legalism, or a hundred schools of thought, whichever is beneficial to the empire is a useful study.

Incorporate the strengths of hundreds of schools, gather talents from thousands of places, build the foundation of all generations, and solidify the foundation of eternity.

"Ziying."

Ying Zheng suddenly called out.

Ziying's grandfather was the half-brother of King Zhuangxiang. His father died in battle early in life, and his mother also fell ill for a long time. She died after giving birth to her.

Because the family members are thin and come from the same line, His Majesty is merciful, thinking of blood and family ties, and gave the name Ziying, who was raised in the palace.

"The minister is here."

Ziying, who was in his early twenties and handsome, stood up and bowed to Ying Zheng.

"You are a family member of the Ying family, my nephew, and I watched you grow up."

Ying Zheng made a fool of himself, as if he was talking about his parents.

"Your Majesty's grace, Ziying will remember it forever, and never dare to forget it."

Speaking of this, Ziying's face was full of gratitude, and he respected and loved His Majesty from the bottom of his heart.

"Well, you are about the same age as the princes, and you have a close personal relationship. Let me ask you, who is suitable to be the prince of the empire?"

Ying Zheng changed the subject and asked directly.

Ziying showed a thoughtful look, and soon showed a firm look: "The crown prince is related to the country's destiny and the safety of the country. I dare not speak nonsense. Which son does your majesty like, then he is the crown prince of the Great Qin Empire."

"If I want to make Hu Hai the crown prince, you don't object?"

Ying Zheng's eyes were deep, and he said with a straight face.

"I don't dare, I will follow His Majesty's instructions in everything."

"It's just that I heard that Xia Jie is less intelligent, has a bad temper, is greedy for wine and sex, and loves hunting. Guozuo died after 400 years."

"Xin, emperor of the Shang Dynasty, was very keen in hearing and seeing. He was extremely talented and good at fighting. He was so aggressive that his national power was emptied. In 600 years, the Yin and Shang Dynasties collapsed."

"King You of Zhou, who respects etiquette and trustworthiness, enjoys music, desolate state affairs, and treats many evils. He smiles after being praised by Bo Bo, and does not hesitate to break trust with the princes. The disaster of the 800-year Great Zhou Dynasty originated from this."

After Ziying said these words, as if he had exhausted all his strength, he exhaled deeply.

You must know that it takes a lot of courage to say these things, but since His Majesty asked, then as a subject, I must fulfill my responsibilities.

"Hu Hai is not Xia Jie, nor can he become Xia Jie. Fusu is not Zhou Youwang, nor will he become Zhou Youwang. I am not Emperor Xin, and Great Qin is not a great merchant."

"Xia died because of the nobles fighting for power, not because of my sister's love. Shang died because of conquest and rebellion, not because of Daji's beauty. Zhou died because of the hearts of the princes, not because of Bao Si's bewilderment. The Six Kingdoms died because of endless internal strife, not because Qin was better than Jin Ge Iron Horse."

"If I die at this moment, and the crown prince is still pending, how many people do not have their own careful thinking? People are not ruthless, and it is human nature to seek happiness for the family and for the children and grandchildren. One I will destroy one."

Ying Zheng's words were like a grand bell, humming, echoing endlessly in the hall.

"I dare not wait."

Everyone lowered their heads at the same time and said in unison.

"Called."

Ying Zheng waved his hand.

Zhao Zhong on the side immediately took out the black brocade imperial decree again, and read it aloud.

"I have been on the throne for more than 38 years. I have worked diligently to govern and dare not let myself go. I have inherited the remaining wishes of my ancestors and the hearts of the people. With war, I have clarified the Xuanyu, and with officials, I have stabilized the world. However, manpower will eventually be exhausted. Know the destiny, care about the affairs of the state, and belong to the people."

"Gong Ziyu has a good character, respects his parents, is handsome and diligent in learning, and possesses talents. He was appointed as the crown prince of the Great Qin Empire, and succeeded to the throne of the East Palace. His mother, Song Meiren, was promoted to Mrs. Song."

"Wang Jian, the protector of the country, has made outstanding contributions and made great contributions to Qin. He ordered Wang Jian to be the prince's tutor, with a salary of five thousand shi..."

"Hua Wenhou, Feng Quji, the doctor of imperial history, is mature and dignified. He has supported the country for many years. He ordered Feng Quji to be the prince's tutor, and he was promoted to Duke Zhuguo, with a salary of five thousand shi."

"Wuwei Hou's brave general, Meng Tian, ​​has made outstanding military exploits and fought in all directions. He ordered Meng Tian to be the prince's teacher, Jin Jue Ding Guogong, with a salary of five thousand shi."

"Li Si, the prime minister of the Marquis of Tong, has repeatedly made outstanding achievements and is outstanding in wisdom. He ordered Li Si to be the prince's teacher, Jin Jue Wei Guogong, and a salary of three thousand stones."

"Announcement to the world, Xian envoys hear it."

After Zhao Zhong finished reading, he looked at the civil and military officials below.

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years, Great Qin ten thousand years."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, God bless the Prince."

Manchao Wenwu once again opened their mouths and shouted in unison.

"I hope that at the court meeting tomorrow, I don't have to start a big killing spree."

Ying Zheng dropped a word coldly, and left in a huff.

"Retire..."

Zhao Zhong immediately shouted loudly.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty once again opened their mouths to worship in unison.

On the second day, the night was hazy, the sky was not yet bright, and a little bit of starlight swayed the night sky.

In Xianyang Palace, as soon as the gate of the Five Watches Palace was opened, there was an endless stream of ministers entering the palace.
