Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 431 Zhao Si is crowned king!

The king's deliberate connivance and unclear attitude often resulted in repeated temptations and pulls from his ministers.

Just like the First Emperor's decision to establish a crown prince, he always felt that Fusu was not established. But now the situation is very good. Fusu has a great son, and the First Emperor has a great grandson. Chen naturally launched a new round of testing.

It's just that the previous memorials were ignored by the First Emperor, as if they were lost in the sea...

The First Emperor did not express his position, but his ministers needed an attitude.

Therefore, during this court meeting, Fusu's supporters had mustered up the courage to test the matter of establishing a crown prince in front of the First Emperor.

Yes, take courage.

After all, the oppressive force exerted by the First Emperor was indeed too great.

Therefore, after the report, Feng Quji was ready to explore the road. He had even organized how to tactfully express the importance of establishing a prince to the country without angering the First Emperor...

Unfortunately, the First Emperor took the initiative directly and interrupted Feng Quji's spellcasting by asking about the situation in Zhao.

Feng Quji initially thought that... the First Emperor might really want to stabilize the Zhao region...

Therefore, after the First Emperor spoke, the three ministers and nine ministers each made comments, some from a military perspective, some from a political perspective, and some proposed the implementation of some policies...

As for Sangong, he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and watched the performance of the courtiers present without saying a word.

But the First Emperor seemed dissatisfied with everyone's suggestions.

"too slow……"

"Too much waste is wasted, and the gain is not worth the loss..."

"With Zhao people ruling Zhao land, how can the country have two masters?"

"The laws of Qin are universal, and Zhao is no exception..."

Zhao Si, who was sitting on the sidelines, listened to the speeches and suggestions of the top talents of this era, and was surprised to find that the policies they proposed, regardless of whether the First Emperor would use them or not, were all effective methods.

He even heard governance policies similar to modern special districts...

There are also suggestions to formulate targeted Qin laws and relax policies accordingly...

All are feasible, but unfortunately, these are not what the First Emperor wanted.

The ministers talked about it but the Emperor did not use it, so more suggestions were put forward.

Xizhi Lun, who had been pondering for a long time, also responded: "Your Majesty, all your strategies can be tried. I heard that governing a country cannot take into account both gains and losses. If you follow your Majesty's current request, I have a method that will not be too wasteful." It takes a lot of manpower and material resources, but it is very effective. It can also apply Qin laws to Zhao land without causing Zhao people's resentment. Your Majesty, are you willing to listen?"

The First Emperor heard the sound and looked towards Xizhilun.

Xizhilun is the censor, of course, he is not anyone's party member.

He supports the eldest son's succession to the throne, but that doesn't mean he will form cliques. Xi Zhilun has always been known for his bad mouth and poor interpersonal relationships, including his relationship with Fusu.

Such people are usually very courageous.

"Tell me and listen..." The First Emperor nodded and looked towards Xizhilun.

"Choose a clan to be crowned the king of Zhao and let him govern the country of Zhao. The people of Zhao will soon be stable." Xizhi Lun said.

The moment Xizhilun opened his mouth, Feng Quji's heart suddenly jumped.

Even Wang Jian, who had closed his eyes to rest his mind, was slightly surprised, and then looked at Li Si a few times with a half-smile.

As for Li Si, the old god's calm expression suddenly changed, and his brows slowly tightened as he looked at Xizhi Lun, who opened his mouth.

Leaving aside others, being crowned king is definitely taboo for Li Si.

To Li Si, this was tantamount to showing off. Of course, there are many people who show off towards Li Si every year. Li Si subconsciously planned to refute, but out of habit, he glanced at Zhao Si and the First Emperor.

But he only saw that the Emperor's face didn't seem to change much.

Looking at Zhao Si again, he saw Zhao Si winking at Li Si with a smile on his face.

Li Si's originally accumulated momentum was weakened by three points. He knew that Zhao Si would not be idle and watch his jokes...

So Li Si pondered for a moment, and although his brows were still furrowed, he didn't speak in the end.

Li Si did not express his position, and naturally no one did. The First Emperor smiled and said, "It is indeed a good idea to grant the king to Zhao. Although the Qin State is based on the system of prefectures and counties, the situation in Zhao is different after all. It’s not that exceptions cannot be made, but who can be granted the title of King of Zhao in order to stabilize Zhao as soon as possible?”

As soon as the First Emperor finished speaking, Li Si was cleared...

Good guy, it looks like it was agreed upon again.

But the sad thing is that I didn't bring him with me this time?

Li Si instinctively began to think. He did not doubt the First Emperor's trust in him now. Even if he was killed, he would not be able to wait until now.

The reason why he wanted to make a King Zhao is probably because the First Emperor wanted to make someone King Zhao, right?

Thinking of this, Li Si naturally looked at Zhao Si.

"This boy's mother is from the Zhao Kingdom clan... If I remember correctly, Young Master Gao is also a descendant of the Zhao Kingdom clan?

However, it was impossible for the First Emperor to make Prince Gao the King of Zhao. Even if the First Emperor wanted to make Prince Gao the King of Zhao, Fusu’s supporters would not agree...

Recently, there have been more and more discussions about establishing a crown prince..."

It doesn't take long for an old fox in the political arena to capture the key points through the tiniest bit of information.

The First Emperor wanted to make Zhao Si the King of Zhao!

Maybe this is an exchange? Regarding the exchange of Li Chu Fusu?

Of course, even if Li Si figured it out, he couldn't take the initiative to speak.

He must remain silent when it comes to conferring the title of king.

He could not show even a shred of goodwill toward the feudal system.

Zhao Si... was an exception, so he chose to remain neutral and not delay the First Emperor.

Otherwise, even if it is a mantis trying to act as a chariot, he will not hesitate.

In fact, it was not only Li Si who was stunned, but also Xizhi Lun, the proposer of the title of king.

He was also stupid...

What he didn't expect was that the First Emperor agreed, and what he didn't expect was that Li Si didn't take a stand?

like? Are your suggestions going to be adopted?

Well, it is worth mentioning that Xizhilun did not support the enfeoffment system. The reason why he proposed to be crowned king was because he deliberately used this disgusting Shi Huang to persuade the Shi Huang not to be too demanding and want to do things but also want to cause trouble.

To put it bluntly, it was to propose an even more extreme thing. If the First Emperor refused, he would then use this to persuade the First Emperor to be more pragmatic and consider the experienced suggestions of his ministers.

The broken window effect... Xi Zhilun said that the house should be demolished... Hey, did the First Emperor really agree?

So now Xizhilun was riding a tiger and couldn't get off. He looked at the First Emperor with some hesitation and embarrassment.

He doesn't agree with the enfeoffment system...

Xizhi Lun frowned, the words he said were like water thrown out and could not be taken back, so Xizhi Lun could only make amends for himself. "Being a king should be done with caution. If Zhao is made a king, the people of Zhao should first recognize his identity. In this way, we can only choose a son with the blood of the Zhao clan." Xi Zhilun looked at the First Emperor tentatively. of opening.

"Among the other gentlemen, only Young Master Gao is from the clan..."

"I don't agree!" Feng Quji was the first to speak.

Just kidding, Zhao’s land is so big and there are so many Zhao people, yet he still gets the title of king.

If you let the young master go, isn't that going to harm his young master?

Fusu hasn't established a heir yet, but his brother has been crowned king first!

The reason why Fusu stood out among the brothers was that Fusu seemed to be demoted, but in fact he was the only prince among the princes who actually controlled the military and political affairs of the place.

It's called being demoted, but in reality it's almost the same as enfeoffment.

But Longxi is so remote...

Moreover, Fusu did not become king in Longxi at first.

Zhao land is different. It used to be a real land of one country.

Young Master Gao still has the blood of the Zhao clan, what is he planning to do?

After more than ten years of operation, wouldn't it mean that the entire Zhao region is a party member of Gongzi Gao? By then, Fusu's position as crown prince would be in jeopardy.

Even if Fusu decides on the crown prince, Fusu's supporters will not allow anyone else to be crowned king before Fusu ascends the throne.

What a king!

We have soldiers, we have money, we have food, we have people, we are self-sufficient, we have our own political team...

If the king goes one step further...

Feng Quji was the first to react and began to elaborate on why the young master was so tall.

In short, he firmly disagreed with the young master's appointment as king of Zhao. Feng Quji opened his mouth, and everyone who was originally planning to discuss the matter of establishing a heir today also fired.

Put aside the prince in advance, the house is about to be stolen, first take down the young master.

Xizhilun himself did not agree with the enfeoffment system. At the same time, he also recognized that Fusu was a qualified prince. In addition, the mention of the title of king was originally to make the First Emperor take a step back.

Now that the First Emperor is advancing instead of retreating, Xizhilun himself has become weak.

"Doctor Feng's concerns are indeed justified. I thought too little about the matter of being crowned king. I apologize!" Xizhi Lun, as the person who mentioned the title of king, took the lead in initiating the surrender.

"What is there to blame for offering advice to the country? Moreover, making the king of Zhao is indeed the best way at present. Gao may not be suitable for making the king of Zhao, but I have a total of eighteen children, even if all the young masters are not It's suitable. I still have more than a hundred grandsons. Isn't it enough to find a young master who can take on the important task of making the king of Zhao and let Zhao land settle down as soon as possible?" The First Emperor asked rhetorically.

Xizhilun took a breath, but luckily he didn't lose his temper.

and many more……

The First Emperor hasn't given up on making Zhao the king yet?

You can't, the First Emperor is really...

Um? hold on?

Feng Quji frowned as if he realized something.

After recalling the words of the First Emperor, Feng Quji suddenly remembered Wang Wan's previous warning.

"The reason why the memorial regarding the appointment of the crown prince has been left unpublished may be because of the minister. Is there anything that cannot satisfy His Majesty?"

After correlating the information, Feng Quji looked at the figure who was still accompanying the First Emperor and sitting together with the First Emperor even during the court meeting. Suddenly, Fu Zhi spoke in his heart and said: "Your Majesty, if you say that the land of Zhao can be crowned king, it will bring peace to the people of Zhao." , I think there is a young master who is just right for me."

The First Emperor glanced at Feng Quji, and finally a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.

"You might as well make it clear that even if it's wrong, you can discuss it again, and you shouldn't accuse someone of something just because of your words." The First Emperor nodded.

"This young master is by your Majesty's side!" Feng Quji looked at Zhao Si with a smile.

Zhao Si looked "surprised" when he heard the sound, and the First Emperor also seemed confused. He looked at Zhao Si again, with hesitation on his face.

When Feng Quji saw this, he knew it was in place, so he hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, the young master comes from the Zhao clan, his uncle is the clan leader of the Zhao clan, his mother is the sister of the clan clan leader of the Zhao clan, and his father is from Da Qin. Regarding the eldest son, in terms of identity and bloodline, there is absolutely no one today who can convince the people of Zhao more than the identity of the young master. Before the young master's life experience became known, the young master had already worshiped him as a minister for his merit, and was in charge of the Five Grain Garden, Hangzhou and Hangzhou. Mao Junfu, leading Yulin, starting the game, holding many responsibilities, but in an orderly manner. He only managed the Zhao land, and the talents of the young master were definitely enough.

As for virtue, before the young master met His Majesty, he was praised by all the ministers. After returning from the sea, he was extremely loyal and brave. Later, when he entered and left the court, he was also praised as a virtuous minister. Uncle Sun Tong, the doctor waiting for the imperial edict, praised him as a true gentleman.

No matter in terms of noble status, outstanding talents, or noble moral character, there are very few people who can compare with the young master. If such a person is not enough to make Zhao king and make Zhao land stable, who can? Do it? "

Zhao Si smiled even more when he heard this.

Although it’s business flattery, who doesn’t like flattery?

It was difficult for Feng Quji to guess the First Emperor's intentions in such a short period of time and to organize such a long paragraph.

The most important thing is that what he said is meaningful... Stopping, Zhao Si restrained his inner turmoil.

Although flattery sounds nice, you should never take it seriously.

In the final analysis, it was all about taking advantage of my father's savings.

Feng Quji would definitely not agree to let other princes be granted the title of king, but if he was granted the title of king, it would undoubtedly be a great strengthening of Fusu's power, and he was totally willing.

No matter what the feudal system or the county system, it is not as big as establishing a heir apparent.

The so-called system can be changed...

When the First Emperor heard this, his expression was extremely serious. After listening, he pretended to frown and consider it, and then looked at the officials and said, "Sure enough?"

"Of course!"

No one wants to have a dispute with the Establishment Party at this time, which is thankless and offends others.

The main reason is that there is no other option except Fusu. If Fusu is delayed, he will have no place to shelter from the wind and rain. Even Li Si, who has different political views with Fusu, has always avoided this kind of thing, let alone other people?

Those who could participate in the small court meeting were all old foxes, and they had an account in their hearts. Therefore, for a while, everyone was in favor of the court, Zhao Si was crowned king, and everyone expected him to return.

"Since all the ministers agree, I can only agree to make an exception and make Zhao Si the king, so as to appease people's hearts as soon as possible and stabilize the Zhao land. However, after all, the Qin Dynasty is based on counties and counties, and the matter of making the king is nothing more than that. Once, it is considered an exception, and we cannot follow the same rules."

The First Emperor agreed to the requests and suggestions of the ministers, but considering that the Qin Dynasty was based on the system of prefectures and counties, he also agreed with the ministers that such a thing would not happen again.

Well, after conferring the title of king on Zhao Si, the door to the title of king was also blocked.

Don't use such an excuse to bring up the matter of being crowned king again in the future.

When Li Si heard this, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Great, a world where no one gets hurt is achieved!

When Feng Quji heard the sound, he was greatly reassured!

good good!

Now, isn't it time to take advantage of the victory and discuss establishing a throne?
