Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

Chapter 242 The world is shocked, and the kings appear!

Gongzi Gao's voice was loud and passionate, and he was in a completely impassioned state. There was no trace of his previous reluctance. This was the reason why Gao Yao had planned this.

"Today, General Zhennan is appointed as the Grand General, commanding all the troops in the country, and is given the title of Marquis of Guannei and the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery."

"Feng Quji will be the Prime Minister, helping me to pacify the world!"

As Gongzi Gao's voice fell, there was a roar like a tsunami. Countless soldiers in shining helmets and armor were all below, and officials from various counties were on both sides, kneeling one after another.

"We will work hard for the Qin Empire and pacify the world!"

"We will work hard for the Qin Empire and pacify the world!"

"We will work hard for the Qin Empire and pacify the world!"

As the news of Prince Gao's ascension to the throne began to spread, at the same time, the imperial edict from the court in Xianyang also began to spread throughout the country, which was to enfeoff the kings, not only with names and surnames, but also with fiefs.

However, due to the existence of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, the kings enfeoffed in this edict seemed very particular. In Kuaiji, Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng had just conquered Kuaiji County and supported the descendant of King Huai of Chu, Xiong Xin, as the new King Huai of Chu, and then launched an uprising.

At the same time, the imperial court also quickly issued an edict, conferring Xiang Yu the title of King of Chu and granting him the three counties of Kuaiji, Minzhong and Jiujiang as the territory of Chu.

The Western Wei King Wei Bao was made the King of Wei. Because he was an old relative of the Wei State, he was given the two counties of Hedong and Shangdang as his fiefdom.

Shen Yang, the King of Zhao, was an old minister of the State of Zhao. He was given the title of King of Zhao, and his fiefdoms included Zhao County, Qinghe County, and Dong County. Han Cheng, the King of Han, was a relative of the State of Han. He was given the two counties of Yingchuan and Huaiyang as his fiefdoms. Zhao Xie, the King of Dai, was a nobleman of the State of Zhao during the Warring States Period. His fiefdoms included the two counties of Taiyuan and Hengshan.

In addition, there were a total of ten princes, including Han Guang, King of Liaodong, Zang Tu, King of Yan, Tian Shi, King of Jiaodong, Tian Du, King of Qi, and Wu Rui, King of Hengshan.

The ones selected by Mysterious Yi Xiaochuan are basically the eighteen princes of the late Qin Dynasty. These people are basically the clansmen, nobles, and ministers of the six kingdoms before. The reason for this selection is very simple, that is, these people have certain abilities and influences to become princes. However, unlike before, this time there are certain adjustments in both the fiefdom and the number of people.

The entire Qin Dynasty was completely divided because of this division. Twenty-seven of the original thirty-six counties of the Qin Dynasty were divided, leaving only nine counties in its hands. However, these nine counties were very exquisite. They were Jiuyuan, Yunzhong, Shangjun, Beidi, Neishi, Longxi, Hanzhong, Bajun, and Shujun. As a whole, these nine counties just ran through the entire Qin Dynasty from south to north.

Generally speaking, this method of enfeoffment encountered opposition from many ministers. The reason was very simple. There were too many places that needed to be defended, and the overall defense line stretching from south to north was too long. The pressure on the entire court was too great in terms of defense, and it was not conducive to continuous fighting. However, Fusu resolutely implemented this matter under the advice of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, and even some opinions in the court were forcibly suppressed.

When the news that the Southern Border Prince Gao had ascended the throne and proclaimed himself the King of Qin reached Xianyang, the entire city was shaken, and the people in the court were even more panicked. No one had expected that when the kings were enfeoffed here, someone here would declare himself king.

At the Xianyang Palace,

"Your Majesty, Prince Gao is trying to split up our Great Qin and ignore the laws of the court. If we don't deal with it in time, everyone in the world will follow suit and our Great Qin will no longer be a country."

"I beg Your Majesty to send troops to conquer the southern border immediately. If the problem cannot be solved as soon as possible, I am afraid that someone in the Qin Dynasty may become rebellious."

"His Majesty......"

The court meeting had just begun, and many ministers had already written to Fusu to ask him to deal with the situation in the southern border. Some of them even used rather fierce words, not sparingly using words like splitting up the Qin Dynasty. Even though there was suspicion of alluding to Fusu, these ministers did not hesitate to take the risk.

Among them, the influence of Qin Shihuang was relatively large. The image of Qin Shihuang in later generations was that he was cruel and merciless, burning books and burying scholars. In fact, even in the middle and late period of Qin Shihuang who indulged in seeking immortality and asking for the way, he did not extend the butcher knife to any loyal minister of the Qin Dynasty, whether it was Wang Jian or Wang Ben. If it were in the hands of other emperors in later generations, they would not be able to save their lives because of their great achievements, and it is hard to say whether their families could survive. However, they were able to have a good end in the Qin Dynasty. The books burned and scholars buried were basically some books with national influence in the six countries, and the lives of the alchemists were mainly buried, along with hundreds of Confucian scholars who opposed Qin Shihuang.

This situation occurred because Liu Bang buried history to a great extent for his own reputation. In addition, he wanted to promote Confucianism and educate the people to be conservative and loyal to the emperor, which led to the burning of books of various schools of thought. In fact, it was just the opposite. The books of various schools of thought in the Qin Dynasty could be circulated everywhere, but in the Han Dynasty, they were not banned on the surface, but in fact, they had long been gone.

Fusu was famous for his benevolence. These ministers were able to speak out their opinions when they were under Qin Shihuang's command, so why would they worry about speaking out their opinions in front of Fusu?

"Meng Yi, how is Zhang Han doing?"

Listening to what the court officials had reported, Fusu had been under great pressure during this period. If it had not been for Meng Yi's advice, Fusu would not have been so confident. The decree to enfeoff the kings had been issued, but the effect was far different from what Fusu had expected. Now, Prince Gao had appeared and actually called himself the King of Qin, and openly accused Fusu of being unworthy of inheriting the Qin Dynasty.

This is like he is just unhappy with you and takes up the responsibility to do it alone. It would be strange if Fusu felt good about it. However, we still need to ask Meng Yi about the specific situation.

Although Wang Ben still holds great power, there is no doubt that Fusu trusts Meng Yi more. This is why it was Meng Tian before he went to the northern border, and Meng Yi after he went to the northern border. For such a long time, Fusu has already regarded Meng Yi as his most trusted minister.

"Your Majesty, General Zhang Han is now withdrawing his troops to Neishi. General Zhang Han fought against Chen Sheng and Wu Guang and won every battle. He has already wiped out 40,000 rebels. However, the rebels are everywhere and the plane's retreat is blocked. General Zhang Han has withdrawn his troops in advance and will be able to return to Neishi within half a month."

At this time, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan also immediately reported, and at the same time, a trace of caution appeared in his eyes. The reason was also because of the rebellion of Master Gao. Although the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan had roughly guessed what Gao Yao was going to do when he learned that Gao Yao had taken Master Gao away, he did not expect that Gao Yao would actually do this so decisively.

Although in the eyes of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, it was not important what decision Gao Yao made at this time. He even guessed that in the face of his conspiracy, Gao Yao was likely to go all out and put all the troops in the southern border to fight in Xianyang. He was ready to send more troops to Hanzhong, but he was a little surprised that Gao Yao actually changed to another way to burn his boats.
