Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 435: A dead end (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

Meng Yi got the advice from the retainer and naturally knew how to deal with this matter.

But before he aggressively recruited former scholars from the Six Kingdoms to enter Qin's highest level, where they could directly meet the emperor's official organization, he had to ask the emperor.

This thing is no small matter.

Qin officials don't think there's anything particularly noble about their names, but the memorials they write must be presented directly to the emperor. Not only that, each of them must promise to be loyal to Qin to the death.

This Qin State is not the Qin State today, but the Qin State of the real Qin people.

After all, Ting Wei Meng Yi didn't have much affection for the people of the Six Kingdoms, especially after they destroyed the Six Kingdoms, the resistance of the survivors of the Six Kingdoms against the Great Qin Empire often occurred.

Now, if we want to put these people into the grassroots ranks of Qin's bureaucracy, wouldn't that be inviting wolves into the house?

Meng Yi hesitated again and again, but rushed into Xianyang Palace before sunset to see the Second Emperor.

"Your Majesty, 300 Qin officials are more difficult than a [-] army. If it is necessary to ensure that the number of Qin officials in Qin will increase by [-] in three years, unless His Majesty the Emperor is willing to select people who have served in the government from among the six former kingdoms."

Qin officials are government officials.

Being familiar with the laws of Qin is not enough. The key is to be able to handle government affairs, and if you are not in your forties or fifties, you are not enough to convince the public.

Seeing that the second son had a solemn expression, Tingwei seemed to be reconsidering the matter, so he continued to strike while the iron was hot.

"Your Majesty, I am worried that if this method is followed, it will be difficult to ensure that these people are loyal to Your Majesty. When the late emperor was in power, although the number of Qin officials sent to each county was small, they were also assisted by local natives. There are officials who handle government affairs, but in the final analysis, His Majesty has never trusted the people of the Six Nations and has not given these people positions of real power."

"Selecting and training Qin officials according to your methods means that your Majesty will give some of the power of local governance to the original people of the Six Kingdoms."

The people of the Six Kingdoms were hostile to Qin, and Qin did not trust the people of the Six Kingdoms.

But the pressing demands of the rulers made it obvious that both conditions had to be eliminated.

If there are not enough officials, this is a dead end.

This is not like other problems, which can be achieved by promoting an inexperienced young man to achieve the purpose of establishing an internal dynasty. It is not like using some brains, a little effort, and taking some risks to kill the pillar of an empire, or to make some sacrifices to solve it. Yes.

This is the first time Fusu has encountered such a difficult problem.

Although many times, Fusu felt that his past ten years had been too ordinary, but in fact, this was precisely the reflection of his success along the way.

His path to becoming the crown prince was really going too smoothly.

Fusu's job as a prince was just boring. If he felt bitter, it was just because his life was too boring.

The farmer still plants in spring and harvests in autumn. He has hope in spring and the joy of harvest in autumn. But Fusu has neither the joy of harvest nor the mood of expectation.

Ever since, facing Wei Ting, Fusu showed his powerless side for the first time.

Meng Yi also felt that the emperor was helpless about this matter.

But obviously, handing over real power to people from the Six Nations is definitely not a trivial matter.

It was only in the past two years that local riots and rebellions finally stopped.

By doing this now, isn't it handing power and weapons to people who are their own potential enemies?

But there is no goal that cannot be achieved in this world.

There is still a way to solve the problem of officials, and it is a shortcut.This shortcut is the thousands of troops left by the first emperor to the second emperor.

At this time, if there are strong troops stationed in Guanzhong as a deterrent, those officials will still be obedient even if they are not trained and taught to be loyal to the emperor.

In this way, a war within the empire can be completely avoided.

But Meng Tian, ​​he has not yet agreed to this matter.

But don’t forget, time flows. In the frontier area, there are already barbarians invading from time to time. With 30 troops stationed in Jiuyuan, how can they be leaderless?

Meng Tian has been back in Xianyang for almost half a month.

It seems that spring is coming to an end.

What Fusu was worried about was that Meng Tian would soon come to bid farewell to him. At that time, he would use force to formally issue an edict and use tiger charms to mobilize troops.

Fusu listened to Tingwei's request. Obviously, he came to ask for mercy from himself, not to ask him to let the original officials of the Six Kingdoms join the ranks of Qin officials. This would be confusing and would put the rule of the empire in danger in the future.

There are not enough officials, which is a dead end, but there is a good medicine in this world that can solve all problems.

time!

Fusu stared at Meng Yi's face for a long time, and finally said in an extremely cold and indifferent tone:
"Tingwei wants me to take back the edict?"

Meng Yi was shocked.

"Your Majesty, are you asking me to take risks?"

"I have made my own decision. The purpose of establishing the Imperial Academy is to recruit talents. I hope that the sacrificial wine can be put to good use and the Imperial Academy building will not be left empty."

After hearing this, Meng Yi had no choice but to bow and say he was the only one, and then resigned.

Yu Yang held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help but walked to Fusu on his own initiative.

"Your Majesty, I think that the number of Qin officials can be small, but they must be loyal. Why doesn't Your Majesty reduce the number of spare Qin officials to a hundred people and insist on 300 people. I privately think that the people of these six countries still have their hearts. The old country.”

"Your Majesty has just ordered all the royal families of the Six Kingdoms to be buried with the late emperor. The people of the Six Kingdoms will definitely be indignant. Now Your Majesty wants the people of the Six Kingdoms to join our most stringent official selection team in the Qin State. This is indeed letting the tiger go home."

"In my opinion, letting the original officials of the Six Kingdoms and the powerful landowners dominate the place is the real way to let the tiger return to the mountain."

"Furthermore, in a world of tens of millions of people, how can I use a court with no more than 50 people and Qin officials with no more than a hundred people as local officials to control it. Defending the world is not like conquering the world, but in my hands I have There are also thousands of troops and horses, but who will I use these thousands of troops and horses to deal with?"

Yu Yang was speechless by the emperor's words, and knowing that he was wrong, he asked to leave.

Fusu looked at Yu Yang's retreating back, and a smile appeared on his lips inadvertently.

Shen Yu only felt:
"Your Majesty, this lieutenant is actually on good terms with Tingwei in private. They had impeached Zhao Gao together before. Now, relying on the support of the Meng family behind him, he actually committed the following crime and dared to mention your Majesty casually. He is so rude. Is it possible for your Majesty to do so? Shouldn’t he be punished?”

"No, in fact, I need such a person to help me get through a difficult situation. I believe that Meng Tian will not be able to hold on for long."

Shen Yu was full of doubts after hearing this.

He never understood why, after His Majesty succeeded to the throne, he tried his best to make all the forces surrender to him, but he kept giving him the cold shoulder when it came to the fattest piece of mutton, Captain Mengtian.
