My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 304 The righteousness a king should have (please book all the monthly tickets for rewards!)

After hearing this, everyone naturally wanted to come over to congratulate Fusu.

Fusu waved his hand, "Wait a moment, the edict hasn't arrived yet."

Xin and everyone were accompanying him, but anyone else would have jumped up long ago when they heard such good news. Even the prince, at such a young age, has a more stable mentality than anyone else.

Therefore, everyone around Fusu believed that as long as he followed the prince, he would never encounter any trouble.

In this era where human life is regarded as nothing, being able to live a stable life as slaves and servants is the greatest gift from God for people like them.

Xin heard that the prince would be canonized as a king, and now he has heard about the name of the king. He is sure that this matter is almost inseparable.

"Prince, you are able to let the king make you a prince. It shows that the prince's ability and talent have been recognized by the king and many ministers in the country."

"For the prince to be crowned the king as the prince in the Qin Kingdom, it is no less difficult than ascending to heaven. But the prince has done it now."

Fusu was also extremely happy!

This was at the end of the Warring States Period, and it was unprecedented in history that someone could be made a king or a king of Qin.

Even now, that is the first person.

After Lord Changping and Lord Changwen, the number of people in the entire Qin State who were named kings was zero!

You must know that the feudal monarchy system prevalent during the Warring States Period was a continuation of the feudal feudal system during the Spring and Autumn Period. "Jun" was originally a new title for a senior official.

Xin bowed his hands and said, "In the Zhou rites, 'the king is the supreme one.' Only the emperor, princes, ministers, and officials who own land can be called kings."

"To be respected as a king, there must be two conditions. One is to possess land; the other is to have ministers."

"Although there is such a rule, until the three families were divided into the Jin Dynasty, there was no precedent for the official title of Qing Dafu being called "Jun"."

"Although Dr. Qing can be called the king in name, his title is always 'gong'. It was not until the three families were divided into the Jin Dynasty that the title 'jun' appeared."

"Chu calls itself a barbarian, and its titles of 'jun' and 'gong' are almost used indiscriminately, with no rules to follow."

"In the Central Plains countries, the first people to call the official Qing the king were the retainers of the official Qing. The retainers of the Ji family of the Lu doctor called the Ji family 'the king', and Jin Shimo called Zhao Jianzi the 'jun'. The Fan family and the Zhongxing family are also called 'jun'."

"In the past, no prince has ever dared to call a minister a 'jun' or give him the title of 'jun'."

"The first person in the Central Plains to ennoble a minister with the title of king was not a prince, but Zhao Xiangzi. In the first year of his reign, Zhao Xiangzi went to Xiawu and killed the king. Later, Zhao Xiangzi granted his brother Bolu the title of king. His son Zhou became the king of Dai."

"Bolu is the first prince. The first prince died early, so he sealed his son's title."

"It's just that the prince should have heard it. The king before the three families were divided into Jin Dynasties was naturally completely different from the king after the Jin Dynasty."

"When the war spread across the world, becoming a monarch became more and more common. But the conditions for becoming a monarch have also changed a long time ago."

"One is naturally to be granted titles by relatives. Su Qin once said, 'Residents, fathers and brothers can all be granted titles. In addition to kinship, there were also people who were granted title because of fame and sex during the Warring States Period."

"The second is the enfeoffment based on merit. Guanzi once said: Those ministers who are able to plan for the success of the country and name it will have the land cut off and enfeoffed; those who can advance and retreat with military chariots in a controlled manner and achieve fame will have the land cut off and enfeoffed." The latter. The prince has a distinguished status. He is the eldest son of the king. He is not awarded the title by blood. Relying on his own contribution to the establishment, he has become the only king of our Qin country today. He is the four gentlemen who are often missed by the people of the world. I think their merits and His status may not be as good as that of a prince."

"Since the Jin Dynasty, although it has become common to be granted the title of king, many people can achieve the position of king by virtue of blood relatives. However, although the power is in the hands of the king, it often needs to be discussed by the ministers. .”

"Chen Cui, a minister of the Yan State, once persuaded the Queen Mother of Yan to let the young master go east to Qi State to be a hostage, but the Queen Mother refused. Chen Cui said that if the king wanted to make the young master king, then the officials would say: 'The young master has no power. It’s merit, it shouldn’t be sealed.'”

"The only way to enter the country is to let the young master go east to the state of Qi as a hostage, and then he can be crowned king for his merits."

"Otherwise, when the crown prince ascends the throne, Young Master Dong will be demoted to a commoner. Therefore, until the Queen Mother personally makes the Young Master a prince, Young Master Dong will never be crowned a king for the rest of his life."

"Even if the Queen Mother's son is indeed related by blood, he still has to perform meritorious deeds to be crowned king."

"Although the rules set by our ancestors have not changed, the atmosphere in the world has changed. People no longer regard services such as enfeoffment among blood relatives as a norm. Instead, they value their own abilities and contributions to the country more."

"So many princes and grandsons later had a natural blood advantage, but without merit, it would be very difficult for them to be crowned kings."

"As for our Qin State, the reason why it can become the most powerful country in the world is because our Qin State has broken those inherent rules. In the minds of our Qin people, who has worked the most, who has made the greatest contributions, and who has the most talent? He should be given the highest title."

"Prince, you have been named a prince, which shows that you have been recognized by everyone. Such a major event is destined to be written down in the history books by historians."

Xin's eyes were filled with admiration for Fusu.

“When a person has power and status and is able to do so many things that many people cannot do, it is a great inspiration to the people around him.”

"The king once said that people are divided into good and evil, loyal and traitorous, and gentlemen and villains. But these people are almost everywhere. Therefore, the most powerful thing for a person is not to save the gentleman, nor to kill the traitor. .”

"The most powerful thing about a person is that he can make everyone around him be moved by his actions. The king said that this is the definition of a king in his mind."

"In my opinion, this is the reason why the king conquers people's hearts. The treacherous villain should behave well around the king, and the loyal and virtuous people can also be reused by the king."

"Being a king is never an easy matter. Many scholars have written many famous articles, which are praised by the world. However, in the eyes of minor ministers, they are never as good as the king."

Listening to these words, Fusu thought of Ying Zheng's cold and stern appearance. He is like a mountain that ordinary people can't help but worship when they see him.

But it's like the ocean, with its endless abyss, and others can't tell what he's thinking. Many people think he is crazy, greedy and unjust.

Only a time traveler like Fusu can understand him.

No matter what, supporting Ying Zheng in completing the establishment of the emperor system is what he must do.

"Believe it. Are you telling me what you want me to do next?"

"No. Prince, I just want to say that, like the king, you have finally proved how high your position is by relying on your own abilities. This is enough to teach the world and the subjects a good lesson."
