During the Zhou Dynasty, the eldest son succession system was used as the foundation, and then the enfeoffment system was established.

  But at that time, the territory of the Zhou Dynasty was far less than that of my dynasty. The ministers have verified in private that the territory of the Zhou Dynasty was far less than one-fifth of the vastness of my dynasty.

  Let's talk about the imperial court's control over the world.

  Although the Zhou Dynasty said that it is true that the coast of the land is not the king's land, and the ministers who lead the land are not the king's ministers; but the edicts of the Zhou emperor in the Zhou Dynasty only acted on the ground less than a thousand miles away from Luoyang.

  Therefore, in the Zhou Dynasty, the system of enfeoffment was implemented, and the emperor of Zhou was the nominal co-lord of the world.

  This is the biggest difference between the current dynasty and the Zhou dynasty, which is here.

  However, since the Zhou Dynasty to the present, the territory of my Chinese family has expanded to such a degree? "

  Su Wen couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He suddenly felt that this old man seemed to have something. He didn't simply want to restore the ritual and music system of the Zhou Dynasty.

  "Aiqing try to say, no matter what the words are, I don't blame you!"

  Hearing the emperor's words, Kong Kun was even more determined to die for the confidant. He bowed his hands and said:

  "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

  Afterwards, Kong Kun turned to face the many ministers, and bowed his hands: "This is the system of enfeoffment.

  In the past, the ancestors of the Great Qin occupied the land, but now the Neishi County of my Great Qin court, the land of a county is the Qin State in the past.

  However, my ancestors of the Great Qin Dynasty were princes of the Zhou Dynasty, but they made great efforts to govern them, attacking Rong and Di in the north, and attacking and destroying the country of Yiqu.

  Destroy Bashu in the south and obtain the land of Tianfu in the two counties in the middle of Shu, and the territory expands instantly.

  This is what my ancestors of the Qin state did.

  Looking at the State of Yan again, the State of Yan went on an expedition to Donghu in the north and captured thousands of miles of land.

  Zhao State even attacked the Xiongnu in the north and captured vast and fertile land.

  To the south lies the state of Chu. The state of Chu had been at war with the southern barbarians for hundreds of years in the early years, and they still captured large tracts of land.

  It is also this system of princes that has always maintained a positive and enterprising spirit in leading the world. Wherever the territory can be expanded, the princes and kings will go to great lengths to attack the city.

  In today's world, everyone thinks that the Xiongnu country is the northernmost place, and that the Yuezhi people are the northernmost place.

  Actually? "

  Kong Kun paused for a while, and then his hands shook: "After the Northwest Yuezhi Kingdom was destroyed, my court only knew that following the land of the Western Regions and going to the northwest, there is still a vast land of the Western Regions, and among the Western Regions, small countries are side by side. , I don't know how many people there are who refuse to obey Wang Hua and respect His Majesty's edict!

  This is one of them.

  Second, in the past, when the late emperor approached the dynasty, he led an army of [-] to march south to Baiyue.

  Right now, the south of Chu, the three counties of Guilin, Xiang, and Nanhai may sound very small, but in the Zhou Dynasty, the land of the vassal states was not comparable to the land of these three counties.

  The minister dared to say that a county in the southeast was not as good as a vassal state in ancient times.

  The southern gate of Daqin is in the hands of Ren Xiao, who is more suitable than in the hands of the Daqin clan? "

  Such a remark, not to mention that Meng Tian did not dare to answer directly, but Su Wen might have to think for a moment.

  I have to say that Kong Kun's remarks are full of forward-looking.

  Because it was Shang, the Central Plains were in great chaos, and Ren Xiao closed himself up, but if the one guarding the south was a certain heir of the First Emperor Ying Zheng, not Ren Xiao, then the history would be completely different.

  This has to make Su Wen pay attention to this old master again. His ancestor Confucius has such a great reputation in history, of course, it is not a rant.

  So naturally, being a descendant of Confucius was not given for nothing.

  Moreover, Kong Kun's remarks, from beginning to end, are full of a strong spirit of expansion, which seems to let Su Wen see that he is not an old master.

  It is a warrior who wears a Confucian crown and carries a war sword. At any time, the sword will be unsheathed, and blood will be splashed five steps.

  Yes!

  Today's Confucianism is completely different from the Confucianism of later generations.

  Later generations were called Confucianism, and now is Confucianism.

  What's more, Confucius and his people have never been a scholar without the power to tie a chicken. Among the six arts of a gentleman, there is still one ".ˇshooting".

  What is ejaculation? (Good Mano)

  Simply put, it's archery.

  Looking at the ancients today, people may think that archery is very common, but it should be noted that the bow and crossbow are equivalent to the sniper rifle of today!

  Therefore, the Confucian students of the moment, who immediately open up the territory and immediately govern the world, are by no means false.

  "The waiter said that Ren Xiao, the first lieutenant of the Southeast, had too much power. That's just because the territory of these three counties is all in the hands of Ren Xiao, but the imperial examination system will be implemented in the world, and the newly selected officials will serve as county governors in various regions. , why should you be afraid of Ren Xiao's excessive power?"

  At this moment, Li Si suddenly spoke in a non-salty manner.

  It is rare for these two old rivals to agree on the matter of enfeoffing the kings.

  "Oh? Really?" Kong Kun shook his head lightly: "Lord Shang Shu may be too idealistic, if this imperial examination, the people who came to take part in the imperial examination were rebellious from the Six Kingdoms in the past, disguised as scholars.

  As always, the land of a county falls into the hands of these people, abandoning my Daqin and digging my own grave? "

  "Worry?" Su Wen was shocked, he really didn't pay attention to this problem! .

Chapter 862

  The corners of Li Si's eyes sank, obviously he hadn't thought about this issue either.

  "Is it alarmist?" Nei Sten really couldn't listen to Kong Kun's remarks.

  "Oh?" Kong Kun shook his head, and then bowed his hands to Nei Sten: "Dare to ask Shang Shu, who are the scholars in the world today, who are literate and hyphenated?"

  Nei Sten was about to speak when his expression stiffened.

  Kong Kun said solemnly: "The scholars in the world, the people who know the text and the hyphenation, except for me, the Qin Dynasty, the rest of the people are mostly the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.

  Confucius, the ancestor of the Confucian family, started a private school and broke the monopoly of knowledge by the aristocracy.

  But even so, [-]% of the people in the world who know the text are still nobles from the Six Nations in the past.

  So, this is also a minister! "

  Kong Kun turned around and bowed to Su Wen: "This is also the second question I want to talk to Your Majesty about the current shortcomings of the imperial examination system."

  "To open the imperial examinations rashly is of course His Majesty's pioneering move to open the door for students all over the world and change the drawbacks of the world official system.

  But in the same way, the relics of the six kingdoms who came under a pseudonym will take the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination.

  If you are loyal to my Daqin, it will be fine, but if you have a ghost in your heart and become the governor of a certain place, as the official minister said, then the world will be in chaos! "

  Speaking, Kong Kun sighed: "It is based on these considerations that this minister is bold, knowing that the 497 division system has such and other drawbacks, but the minister still hopes that His Majesty will entrust the princes to be kings and sit on one side.

  In this case, even if some of the six kingdoms relics who are scheming, really become a high-ranking county governor in a certain place, if they want to cause chaos, I am afraid it is impossible to do it. "

  Kong Kun's voice fell, and there was silence above the Nuo Grand Court Hall, and the iron needle fell to the ground, which could be clearly heard.

  After a few inhalations, Su Wen said slowly, "Aiqing thinks that the remnants of the Six Nations are the root cause of my great Qin?"

  Kong Kun said solemnly: "Definitely! Since the Spring and Autumn Period began, there have been eight hundred kingdoms under the sky, but within two hundred years, there are only more than one hundred left, and then seven kingdoms stand side by side, hundreds of years.

  Therefore, even if I, the Great Qin, rule the world and divide the world into forty-six counties, the people of the world will still be divided into Chu people, Zhao people, and Qi people according to the previous seven kingdoms. "

  After that, Kong Kun looked at Su Wen and said, "I'm afraid it will take two generations for this kind of transformation, and by that time, everyone will call themselves Qin people.

  But the things that are currently in front of me do not allow me to have so much time. Therefore, dividing the kings may be the fastest and most effective way to solve this problem. "

  Su Wen is really shaken, at least for now, he is not worried that Ying Jianglu, Ying Gao, Yingtian will rebel.

  Young Master Sheng, who had rebelled against Miaozi before, had already let himself be slaughtered after the Crouching Tiger.

  After all, when he went north rashly back then, he actually had some thoughts, just to see who could lose his temper and want to jump out and rebel.

  Now that Kong Kun said this, Su Wen somewhat understands why in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, a person like Liu Bang would choose the prefecture and the state.

  Perhaps, it is really out of this consideration.

  The world has been divided into seven kingdoms for hundreds of years, and people's thoughts are deeply rooted, which may eliminate many resistance.

  Kong Kun looked at the contemplative expression on the emperor's face. At this time, he did not dare to talk too much, so as not to offend the emperor.

  After all, from the current point of view, the possibility of chaos anywhere in the world seems to be very low.

  However, the emergence of the imperial examination system really gave many people the possibility of exploiting loopholes.

  "Where's one of the loving ministers?" Although Su Wen meant what the loving ministers meant, his eyes fell on Meng Tian.

  But on second thought, Meng Tian doesn't seem to understand politics very well.

  If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been killed by Li Si and Zhao Gao in the official history.

  Therefore, Su Wen's eyes fell on Li Si again.

  Li Si could only bow his hands and go out: "Your Majesty, Shi Lang Kong's words are reasonable, but your Majesty, look at it, it has been almost fifteen or fourteen years since the late emperor established the country with counties and counties. ?"

  Su Wen thought to himself that there is no one to rebel against the county (bgdi) in the world now, but in the history of Daqin I have seen, the dog thief Yingtong, the governor of the county, was the first to collude with the Xiang clan, the remnant of Chu.

  Therefore, Kong Kun is definitely a person with a terribly high IQ.

  His remarks in the courtroom have already revealed the potential crisis of Qiangsheng Daqin.

  Not only the current state of Qin, but also a county, the governor's power is too great; in the case of official history, the collapse of the Qin state and the arrogance of being left to the sidelines, this almost made Kong Kun's right!

  And historically, the demise of the Han Dynasty was also due to the fact that local officials held heavy troops and fought endlessly for a local feudal lord, which led to the demise of the Han Empire.

  So... this guy's IQ and vision really made Su Wen admire him extremely.

  Throughout hundreds of years of history, everything has been said...

  Sadly, in the official history, there are very few records of Kong Kun, and the most famous one is only the collection of books by Lubi...

  Kong Kun cupped his hands and said: "Those who don't plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a while, and what the minister said is the worry expressed by my Daqin Anle.

  As the saying goes, if you are born in trouble and die in peace, this minister dares to assert that this statement is not groundless and alarmist. "

  Li Sidao: "Servant Kong Kun, what you said was an alarmist. The chaos in the world all stemmed from the chaos of the kings. Now you propose to confer a king, which is a historical regression."

  Kong Kun sighed: "Then Mr. Li, how do you solve the current shortcomings of the imperial examination system? Furthermore, in the county system, it is a fact that the county governor has too much power.

  In addition, the minister has heard that on the way back from Kuaiji County, His Majesty once encountered a county magistrate who robbed a civilian girl as his concubine. things of the people.

  This is His Majesty's personal experience, Li Shangshu can't say, this is just an accident, right?
