Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 414 Rewarding meritorious ministers and amnesty for the world

Zhao Kun had already told Ying Zheng that if he wanted to use Zhang Liang, he had to be honest first.

The combination of grace and power of the imperial technique is not suitable for Zhang Liang.

So Ying Zheng was full of sincerity to Zhang Liang from the very beginning, which moved him beyond measure.

Considering that Zhang Liang traveled everywhere in history, Zhao Kun suggested that Ying Zheng let him make suggestions.

The reason why Zhang Liang traveled all over the world has a lot to do with Liu Bang's later political trend.

Because of Zhang Liangshan's conspiracy and Chen Pingshan's conspiracy, Liu Bang in the later period took a dark route and killed meritorious officials. Obviously Chen Ping was more suitable for him, so Zhang Liang resolutely left Liu Bang.

Facts have also proved that he was right to go.

If he doesn't roam around, the end will not be much better.

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied respectfully: "Your Majesty unified the six kingdoms. If you talk about governing the country, it is less than one ten-thousandth of your Majesty's. But if you talk about governing the country, I have a few points to discuss. Like a new centralization!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng immediately became interested, and waved his hands: "Come here, I will give you a seat and tea!"

Not long after the words fell, a group of maids and servants carried the table, tea and snacks, and put them in front of Zhang Liang and the four of them, who sat down one by one.

Ying Zheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea, then said with a smile, "Zhang Qing, but it's okay to talk about it, it's best to talk about it in detail!"

"it is good."

Zhang Liang responded, took a sip from his teacup, and said: "The new centralization, the first point is military power and strength. Now that the world has been re-established, many generals are holding heavy troops and guarding various places. This is very bad."

"Although His Majesty's prestige is enough to shock the world, but the lessons learned from Xin Sheng, His Majesty must guard against."

"Furthermore, once Liu Bang is pacified, there will be more than one million armored men in the Great Qin Dynasty. It will be a heavy burden for the common people to support millions of armored men today."

As soon as these words came out, the other three people looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to say more.

After all, this topic is too sensitive.

Since ancient times, military power in the hands of emperors has been taboo.

Ying Zheng was silent for a moment, and asked: "The armored men of the Great Qin Dynasty are indeed a problem, but if the military power is easily reduced, will it make people feel that the birds are exhausted and the good bows are hidden?"

"For the livelihood of the people, His Majesty must consider this issue. As long as His Majesty treats the generals as well as before, no one will question His Majesty, unless he has a second heart." Zhang Liang said seriously.

Hearing this, Ying Zheng looked pensive.

The current military power is actually in the hands of Zhao Kun.

If the military power is greatly reduced, it is equivalent to reducing Zhao Kun's power. In this way, some people on Fusu's side will definitely have twisted minds, which is not conducive to his supervision of the country.

And it will also cause a gap between their brothers.

Although Zhang Liang's suggestion is good, but now is not the time, this matter should be left to that boy Zhao Kun to solve.

After thinking for a while, Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ping calmly: "Chen Aiqing, what do you think?"

"This"

Chen Ping hesitated for a while, looked at Zhang Liang, and then replied: "I think this proposal is good, but there are some things that don't need to be rushed. Your Majesty can discuss with Li An Jun whether to take advantage of the opportunity of disarmament to reorganize the Daqin army."

"For example, arrange some veterans and pawns in places that are more suitable for them. In addition, the mechanism for deploying troops must also be changed to prevent the rebels from changing!"

"What Chen Aiqing said is true."

Ying Zheng nodded to Chen Ping with a smile, and then turned his attention to Zhang Liang: "Earlier, that kid Zhao Kun suggested to me the idea of ​​a military academy, and I think it's good;

Since the army is going to be reorganized, why not arrange some veterans and soldiers in the military academy to teach young generals, what do you think? "

"Military Academy?"

Zhang Liang was taken aback for a moment, with doubts on his face.

however.

Before Zhang Liang could react, Meng Tian couldn't sit still: "Your Majesty, is this military academy a new government office?"

Ying Zheng thought for a while and said, "Let's count it as a new government office. The specific plan depends on that boy Zhao Kun's arrangement. However, I plan to list the dean of the Military Academy with the Jiuqing."

"what!?"

The four were shocked when they heard this.

The dean of a college is actually listed with Jiuqing, isn't that equivalent to Shiqing?
With a sudden change of mind, Zhang Liang's eyes brightened, and he thought that Mr. Li An was really powerful.

Such an ingenious arrangement not only elevates the status of the veterans, but also does not make them feel abandoned by His Majesty, and it can still play the remaining heat, which is simply wonderful.

"With His Majesty's arrangement, the veteran's problem has basically been solved, and only the soldiers are left."

"Soldier, I'll think about it again, let me talk about your second suggestion first."

Seeing that Yingzheng didn't want to talk about the reduction of soldiers, Zhang Liang sighed secretly, and continued: "The second article is to attack the powerful, and the powerful are divided into local powerful and conferring kings and knights."

"I believe that enfeoffing kings and titles should no longer be set up as eunuchs, but should be changed to a salary system. This can not only avoid being too big, but also avoid bullying others."

"The local tyrants are mainly because of the collusion between those aristocratic families and local officials, which leads to unclear governance and brings great troubles to the country's governance."

"I have considered these two points."

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, and said: "When the empire was first established, the system of counties and counties was adopted. Although there were no enfeoffments, the food towns were rewarded a lot. Since the old way cannot be followed, then even the food towns will be cancelled, and only the title of knighthood will be retained. False name, changed to salary system."

"As for the local tyrants, you don't have to worry. After a few years, they will all fall apart."

"Ok?"

Zhang Liang was taken aback for a moment, his face showing confusion.

Chen Ping cupped his hands curiously: "What do you mean by your Majesty's words?"

"I plan to set up an imperial examination and abandon the monopoly of the great families on talents and books!"

Yingzheng said domineeringly: "The former Daqin officials were all the sons of local powerful families, but I have a new plan to let everyone in the world have a channel for promotion, whether it is the son of a farmer or a poor family. My son, you can all step into the official career!"

"what!????????"

The pupils of Chen Ping and the others were like a magnitude [-] earthquake.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng felt secretly refreshed.

It was that kid Zhao Kun who shocked him before, now it's his turn to shock others.

Hey, what's that called?

Oh yes, pretense!
Although Zhao Kun's words are harsh, I just want to pretend.

"Cough, cough!"

Ying Zheng coughed twice, and said with a very calm expression; "What do you love, what do you think of me?"

"Your Majesty."

Meng Yi looked at Ying Zheng in surprise, hesitant to speak.

Meng Tian's eyes widened, as if he didn't know Ying Zheng.

And Chen Ping and Zhang Liang's brains were buzzing, they never expected that Emperor Shi Huang would be so ruthless.

And it's so cruel that it makes people happy.

What a great cause it is to let everyone in the world have the possibility of being promoted to official career!

The First Emperor is indeed the First Emperor, his height is beyond the reach of ordinary people! !

"Hoo"*4
The four of them took a deep breath at the same time, then stood up respectfully, cupped their hands at Ying Zheng, and said, "Your Majesty is holy!"

"Okay, okay, sit down, you just need to know about this, don't spread it around!"

Ying Zheng smiled and waved his hands, then motioned for the four of them to sit down.

The four looked at each other, and they all saw the word "cautious" in each other's eyes.

Yes, this matter must be treated with caution.

If something goes wrong and His Majesty's great cause fails, wouldn't the four of us be too much to write down?
Seeing the way the four people looked at him changed, Ying Zheng didn't dare to go too far, so he quickly changed the subject: "That Zhang Liang, do you have anything else to say?"

"Your Majesty is a great talent, Zhang Liang doesn't dare to play tricks, I believe His Majesty has already considered many problems." Zhang Liang said seriously.

Hey!
I screwed up!

Ying Zheng raised his hand to his forehead, and suddenly he was a little dumbfounded, thinking that pretending to be coercive is not so fun!

But why can that brat Zhao Kun pretend every time?

The first emperor failed to pretend to be coercive, but the grand court meeting on the second day was full of coercion.

The bells and drums are ringing together, the flowers are clustered together, beaming with joy, and a hundred flowers are in full bloom.

Even though today's weather is not so good and the sun is not so bright, the hearts of all the ministers are warm.

Because all the ministers know that today is a big day for the first emperor to bestow rewards.

"The time has come, enter the dynasty——!"

While everyone was waiting anxiously, a sharp and high-pitched shout came from inside the palace to outside the palace.

Immediately, a group of courtiers came to their place according to the guidance of the surrounding palace servants, and stood respectfully.

About half an hour later, the first emperor, wearing a five-clawed golden dragon black robe and a nine-beaded crown, slowly walked up to the dragon chair from the side of the hall.

It was a dragon chair specially ordered by Zhao Kun, and the materials were all carefully carved from high-quality golden nanmu, birch, and small-leaved sandalwood.

It was the first time for Ying Zheng to sit on the dragon chair for a grand court meeting, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

In the past, he would kneel and sit on the top of the hall, but now he sits instead, and he suddenly feels like he can see all the mountains and small things at a glance.

Well, it fits his temperament very well.

When Yingzheng was done, a eunuch named Fu walked up the steps with a jade seal symbolizing imperial power.

At the same time, two little eunuchs holding trays followed behind.

Ying Zheng glanced at the tray, then took the big seal, and stamped the jade seal on the edict on the tray.

The eunuch who was in charge of reading out the edict immediately picked up the edict, stood at the bottom of the steps, and read aloud: "Emperor Qin Shihuang said: I am a person who was destined to be a disaster, and I will inherit the blessings of the heavens, and the blessings of my ancestors will re-establish the world, and I will be a hero and virtuous person;

Wherever the land of Great Qin is, is it the land of the king, the shores of the four seas, is it the king's ministers, the land of the counties, and the people's Antianli. "

"Nowadays, the civil and military ministers are reunited in Xianyang. I am grateful for the difficulty of the Qin government. I hereby amnesty the world, and the salty envoys will hear about it."

Although the first emperor's dynasty implemented centralized power, the imperial power was sacred, and in the hearts of all the subjects, it was like the sound of heaven.

"My emperor, ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years—!"

Outside the Xianyang Palace, civil and military officials, as well as the noble children who were invited to watch the ceremony, saluted respectfully according to specific etiquette.

After the edict was read out, the eunuch Xuanzhi carefully put it away, put it in a dragon pattern wooden box, and came to the steps where Ying Zheng was sitting high.

At this time, another little eunuch with a tray stepped forward, and Ying Zheng followed the same pattern to cover the jade seal.

The eunuch Xuanzhi stepped forward, respectfully picked up the new will, stepped forward again, and read aloud: "Emperor Qin Shihuang said: "If I have meritorious service, I will be rewarded, and if I have done wrong, I will be punished. Rewards and punishments are clearly defined. Today, the world will be re-established, and the great society will be established in the capital. The nineteenth son of the emperor, Zhao Kun, was named the crown prince, and Fusu, the eldest son of the emperor, was named the king of Qin."

"My emperor, ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years—!"

All the ministers were overjoyed when they heard the words, and they all congratulated.

The next step is the enfeoffment of the courtiers, mainly the new candidates for the three princes, namely, the Prime Minister of the Right Chen Ping, the Prime Minister of the Left Meng Yi, the Doctor of the Imperial History Meng Tian, ​​the Taiwei Wang Ben, and Zhang Han, the Shaofu of Jiuqing, and Zhang Liang, the Lang Zhongling. , as well as military general Han Xin, general Li Xin and so on.

When all the rewards were completed, the crowd shouted again, "Great Qin Wannian, Shihuang Wannian".

In this way, the entire rewarding process is considered complete.

After that, the grand court meeting will start.

The prince and the king don't need to go to court without the emperor's order, so Zhao Kun and Fusu left Xianyang Palace straight away after receiving the seal of the prince and the king of Qin, and went back to their respective palaces, waiting for the first emperor to summon them.

The rest of the courtiers also changed into new court uniforms and formally went to court to discuss state affairs.

Because the old Qin Dynasty did not establish the East Palace, Zhao Kun's East Palace is still his original prince's palace.

The official office of the East Palace has not yet been established.

To put it bluntly, he is now a polished commander.

However, he didn't care much.

Anyway, this kind of thing can't let him worry about it.

Returning to the original prince's palace, Zhao Kun felt a lot of emotion for a while.

Although there are many maids and attendants, it still looks deserted.

After all, no one here is familiar to him.

Just when Zhao Kun was showing sadness, a joyful voice came out of nowhere: "My lord!"

"Ok?"

Zhao Kun froze for a moment, then turned his head to look.

But he saw a tall, slender, good-eyed, creamy-skinned, absolutely beautiful woman quietly appearing in sight.

Wang Ya?

It should be Wang Ya, right?

Zhao Kun thought so, and at the same time, his eyes fell on the beautiful woman in front of him who was blushing because of shyness.

If it was Wang Ya, then the change was too great.

Although Wang Ya's background is good, but the eighteenth female college is really exaggerated.

Her face, which was originally delicate and exquisite, became delicate and charming, and her hair was neatly pulled back, making her look mature and dignified.

Under the clear and alert eyes, there is a lively and smart hidden.

The figure is even more well-proportioned, one point too fat, one point less too thin, coupled with a tight-fitting long skirt, it looks even more graceful and graceful.

"Ya, Yamei?"

Zhao Kun called out uncertainly.

Even though he was 90.00% sure that this woman was Wang Ya, he was also a little bit uncertain.

It's like the kind of little girl next door who suddenly becomes a peerless beauty.

"Ah."

Wang Ya nodded obediently, and then boldly looked at her fiancé.

However, from her joyful eyes and sweet smile, it can be seen that she is very satisfied with Zhao Kun now.

After all, Zhao Kun has changed a lot in the past three years.

You have to be magnanimous, you have to have good looks, you have to be heroic and handsome.

of course.

More importantly, the current Zhao Kun is the first prince of Great Qin and the future Emperor of Great Qin.

The change in status also made Zhao Kun radiant.

Although the reunion of the two was a bit abrupt, it was not a surprise.

Surprised, Zhao Kun eased his emotions, took a few steps forward, and asked softly, "Why are you here?"

"Your Majesty asked me to come, but I miss you too..."

Before she finished speaking, Wang Ya couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Zhao Kun, and said softly, "My lord, do you miss me?"

　Thanks for going back to that year... 588 rewards.
