Chapter 529 The Scheming of Xianyang Palace
The Feng family behind Feng Quji is not a special existence in Qin State, but like the Yang family in Huaxian County, the Feng family has been high-ranking officials in Qin State for many generations, and each generation has people with high positions of two thousand stones, which can be regarded as real. Old Qin people, there are still many families like the Feng family in Qin State. Although they may not be high-ranking officials, their influence in the middle-level official circles is not trivial. Feng Quji can now become the official doctor of Qin State. The result of the Feng family's accumulation over the years.
It must be known that the Yushi doctor is not as important in the power structure of the Qin state as it is in the future imperial power sequence, ranking third among civil servants, but in recent years, with the expansion of the Qin state's borders, other The importance gradually increased, faintly surpassing Jiuqing.
The opinions expressed by Feng Quji at this time also represent the views of most old Qin people to a certain extent.
Listening to Feng Quji's statement, Qin Wangzheng could also think of why Feng Quji said that.
It's just that while expressing his attitude, Feng Quji was also thinking about whether he should continue talking, and now he didn't want to offend an existence like Yang Ming.
"Continue." Feng Quji thought well, but Qin Wangzheng was unwilling to let Feng Quji go so easily.
Qin Wangzheng knew why Yang Ming sent so many policy minutes to Xianyang Palace, and the attitude of people like Feng Quji also made Qin Wangzheng see a lot.
Qin Wangzheng had already spoken, so Feng Quji naturally didn't dare to keep it up. Although he didn't want to offend Yang Ming, he didn't dare to offend Qin Wangzheng, so Feng Quji could only say: "Don't say anything else, it's just this imperial examination. It is impractical to establish one item. The Qin State has always ruled the country by law, with officials as teachers, and the army to judge meritorious service. If the imperial examination system is used to select officials, what will the Qin people think? Let those who study law and those who are in the army What do you think of the knowledge of fighting for fame?"
Hearing Feng Quji's words, Qin Wangzheng showed a thoughtful expression. Feng Quji was indeed hitting the key point. The position of officials is limited. Yang Ming used the imperial examination system as a means to recruit elites from various schools of thought into the bureaucracy. The systematic approach is not advisable in Qin Wangzheng's view, it has directly shaken Qin's state-building policy, especially those people may not really recognize Qin...
Seeing that Qin Wangzheng didn't intend to interrupt at all, Feng Quji could only continue talking, and picked out various questions among them. For a while, only Feng Quji's voice was left in the entire hall.
"However, the nine chapters of Prime Minister Zuo's administration are not without merit. Prime Minister Zuo is very good at constructing and operating the tax system. The regulations are clear and the operation is efficient. This is far better than the current tax system in Qin State. Also, the inspectorate of the Ministry of Punishment has many overlapping functions with the censor, but it is more effective than the censor, and this point can also be adjusted by the censor's office based on this."
In the main hall at this time, Feng Quji became the real protagonist. It was not until half an hour later that Feng Quji finished speaking.
Qin Wangzheng did not express his opinion on this, but looked at Li Si. Li Si was the person who understood his thoughts best and had always been on his side. In terms of satisfaction, Li Si was equal to Zhao Gao.
Seeing Qin Wangzheng looking at him, Li Si could only bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, just as the Yushi doctor said, Prime Minister Zuo's nine chapters of governance can only be implemented in Yandi, but it is absolutely impossible to spread it to the whole country. "
Li Si knew Qin Wangzheng's thoughts. Qin Wangzheng wanted to build a country with only one voice in the whole country, but Yang Ming's strategy, although it also achieved the centralization of power in the court, it did not concentrate power in one person. Could Qin Wangzheng be willing?
Qin Wangzheng wants to transform the whole world in the way of Qin State, so how could he be willing to use Yang Ming's method to change Qin State? What Qin Wangzheng wants to do is to change the six countries and turn them into the current Qin State, not to What I have been changed, it seems that there is not much difference, but in fact it is big.
In particular, it is impossible for Qin Wangzheng to use the imperial examination system to shake the current bureaucratic system of Qin State. He still relies on these people to rule the world.
However, in Li Si's view, the imperial examination system is a good thing. Although it will bring a lot of trouble in a short period of time, it will benefit the world in the long run. Not to mention anything else, even the most indifferent to fame and fortune Taoism and Mohism, which do not value fame and wealth at all, also have many people who want to be officials, and the imperial examination system has opened a hole for these people.
More importantly, because of the existence of various countries, people from various schools of thought can find a way out in other countries even if they can't find a way out in Qin State. However, soon there will be only Qin State in this world. If Qin State If the country does not use the hundreds of schools of thought, the people of the hundreds of schools of thought will lose their way to rise. Is it really a good thing for Qin to be suppressed by these people?
Besides, Li Si was originally born in Confucianism. Although he found his position in Qin State with the knowledge of Legalism, but thinking of his hardships in the early years and the gap between himself and Han Fei, who were born in the royal family, how could Li Si not think about it? See the emergence of the imperial examination system.
It's a pity that Li Si is no longer the young man who was struggling to find a job. Now he is a bureaucrat of the Qin State, and the things he can only consider are what the Qin Wangzheng thinks.
So with Li Si, Qin Wangzheng heard what he wanted to hear.
"What does Ting Wei think?" After Li Si finished his opinion, Qin Wangzheng asked Han Fei again.
"My lord, I don't have a high opinion. What I want to say, I can only use the words of Dr. Feng Yushi, which is unrealistic." Han Fei said bluntly.
At this time, what Han Fei really cared about was another issue. In the bamboo slips sent by Yang Ming, Han Fei saw a larger and magnificent country, which had never appeared before, and was a country that transcended time and space, but wanted to To build such a country, it is necessary to carry out more grand and thorough reforms in Qin State than Shang Jun's reforms in Qin State, but correspondingly, more people will be offended during the reform process.
Because of the reforms in the past, Shang Jun certainly strengthened the Qin State and promoted the current rebirth of the Qin State in one fell swoop, but he was tortured to pieces. The reforms were to change the original order and benefit from the original order. How can people be willing, it will inevitably cause a strong backlash.
Because of Honglian's relationship, although Han Fei doesn't like people like Yang Ming very much, he can't admit his brother-in-law without tears. Even for Honglian, Han Fei is unwilling to let Yang Ming take the path of a reformer .
However, when Han Fei's words fell on Qin Wangzheng's ears, it made Qin Wangzheng think of more things. Qin Wangzheng may not agree with what everyone supports, and Qin Wangzheng may not agree with what everyone opposes. would totally deny it.
No matter how wise he was, Qin Wangzheng still couldn't change his suspicious temperament. From Feng Quji to Han Fei, these people all opposed it. Is it really because those things are not feasible?
Qin Wangzheng has already thought too much out of control.
"Prime Minister You, what do you think?" Qin Wangzheng turned his gaze to Xiong Qi, and listened to the truth that the current Qin Wangzheng has not forgotten.
"My lord, the reform is for the foundation of all generations, not for the immediate benefit." Xiong Qi replied.
Among the opinions of everyone, Feng Quji was out of standpoint, Li Si was out of fame and fortune, and Han Fei was out of his sister, so they came to different views, and Xiong Qi naturally had his own views.
Among the bamboo slips sent by Yang Ming, Xiong Qi saw something else out of half of his Chu blood. What he saw from the bamboo slips was the land of Yan that Yang Ming wanted to change, the state of Qi, and A region like Chu State.
From the changes in Yandi in the past few years, Xiong Qi clearly realized a reality. It is completely feasible to use Yang Ming's method to rule the lands conquered by Qin State. Yandi is just a precedent. The future Chu State Nor is it necessarily an exception.
In the future, if Qin State can really use Yang Ming's method to govern the old land of the Six Kingdoms, it will only take a few decades, and the old land of the Six Kingdoms will really be completely digested by Qin State. In recent years, the definition of Chu State in my heart Xiong Qi, who gradually became clear, subconsciously did not want to see them happen.
Moreover, Xiong Qi also understands Qin Wangzheng better. From Qin Wangzheng's series of subtle expression changes when he just listened to Feng Quji and others' opinions, he already knew that if he objected again, it would probably have the opposite effect As a result, Qin Wangzheng's self-confidence sometimes made it easy for him to have rebellious thoughts on some things, and even go his own way.
So when Qin Wangzheng asked him, Xiong Qi answered in the affirmative, and he even played a trick in it, saying something and hiding something.
Thinking about everyone's answers, Qin Wangzheng fell into deep thought. What people like Xiong Qi can see, Qin Wangzheng can also see, and Qin Wangzheng also has his own views. Yang Ming's approach certainly looks good now. , but in the eyes of Qin Wangzheng, there is a fatal problem, that is, time cost.
The king of Qin created his own empire. He didn't have so long to implement Yang Ming's strategy step by step. In the future, he might be able to implement it, but he, the king of Qin, could not implement it himself.
Qin Wangzheng was meditating, his fingers subconsciously buckled on the desk, he was weighing, weighing the pros and cons of it, as Qin Wangzheng meditated, the atmosphere in the hall also fell into a dignified atmosphere.
At this time, everyone in the hall knew that the current decision made by the King of Qin would determine the future national policy and path of Qin, and even the fate of the country, and they could not tolerate being nervous.
"Prime Minister Zuo has been in Yandi for a long time, right?" Qin Wangzheng asked after thinking for a long time.
"Since the expedition to Zhao in 16, Prime Minister Zuo has not returned to Xianyang for more than three years." Li Si, who first guessed the purpose of King Qin's politics, cleverly revised the question of King Qin's politics and added that time It has been lengthened quite a bit.
"It's time for Prime Minister Zuo to return to Xianyang, or the children in his family will not know him as a father." Qin Wangzheng started a rare joke.
