Chapter 219 It looks like enfeoffment, but it’s actually a struggle for power.

【And, what this old man said is not without reason.】

Feng Zhengxin said, [In the late Qin Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the rebellious parties of the princes and the localities emerged one after another, and the localities lost control in an instant. There was indeed some reason why the feudal system was not set up.]

[This is because the benefits of the Central Group were not reflected in time, and the Qin Dynasty was directly destroyed!]

[However, the feudal system in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period did have many disadvantages. At the beginning, it did reach the point of defending the royal court. The princes around basically all of them were territories captured by themselves by themselves, and of course they did not accept you later.]

[Forget it, this is a troublesome thing... Since I asked me to say it, I will just say a few words, after all, I can't be beaten.]

After hearing this, Ying Zheng felt a little moved.

The fall of Qin was indeed a bit because the feudal system was not established?

There is some truth to this.

After all, I think Qin can be passed down for generations, but I never thought that it would be destroyed by Hu Hai and Zhao Gao!

He looked at Feng Zheng and thought to himself that I want to see, what are your ideas?

"Report to Your Majesty, although I don't understand, it is better to discuss the pros and cons of this feudal system or not."

Feng Zheng said, "First of all, what Dr. Chunyu said is that the local rights are not great and there is a lack of mobility, which leads to many disasters in the local area."

As he said that, Feng Zheng continued, "What Your Majesty is worried about is that after the feudal division, the local government and the central government will be separated from each other and will sooner or later follow the retreat of the Zhou royal family."

"Well, but that's the case."

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "The world has been separated for a long time, and there should be no more feudal divisions, and the world will undergo great chaos."

"His Majesty……"

After hearing this, Chunyu Yue immediately said, "My ministers believe that the Qin army is strong and the children of Guanzhong are invincible. What your Majesty is worried about is impossible to happen."

"Dr. Chunyu believes that no matter how tragedy is, the country will not be destroyed?"

Ying Zheng frowned and said, "The same was true for the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the end, wasn't it also disrespected by the princes, and then the country was destroyed even more tragically?"

"Your Majesty, but the great Zhou Dynasty granted many meritorious officials and generals, but the ones you want to grant were clans of the same surname and descendants."

After hearing this, Chunyu Yue immediately said, "No matter what, the Qin Dynasty will not fall into the hands of outsiders."

"Damn it!"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng immediately shouted, "Are you going to let me sit in the same room and fight?"

"Your Majesty, protecting the country is the most important thing!"

Chunyu Yue said, "If there are thieves who seize power and usurp the throne and rebel, there are no strong ministers in the court, and all the people in the clan are common people, who will rely on to save them?"

"Chunyu Yue's words are too one-sided!"

Ying Zheng shouted in a deep voice and then said to Feng Zheng, "Feng Zheng, continue to say that."

"promise."

Feng Zheng continued, "Report to Your Majesty, I believe that Your Majesty is never worried about the feudal system, but about the local resistance and the desire to be free from virtue. And Your Majesty also does not want to see any descendants,

Fighting with each other in the room.

What Dr. Chunyu mentioned, as he said just now, was afraid of the disadvantages of the local area, and also fear that if the court had usurped power, the royal family would be weak and no one would save him.

However, I believe that if Dr. Chunyu and His Majesty have a dispute, it is not the same thing, nor can it be completely resolved by dividing the throne or not."

kindness?

Are these two things?

When Chunyu Yue heard Feng Zheng's words, he was stunned.

"Is that true?"

Ying Zheng asked, "You said these are two things? Since that's the case, what solution can I solve it?"

"Report to your Majesty, we will solve it one by one."

Feng Zheng said, "First of all, above the court, the weak ministers believe that in the court, we can further reform and divide the power of the general, and change it from the powerful three ministers to a bunch of prime ministers. This power is divided into a lot, and each person is responsible.

There is only a little power, how can he be a powerful minister?"

"Oh? How to differentiate?"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng asked immediately.

Divide the power of the two parties and eliminate the opportunity for powerful officials in the court?

Hearing Feng Zheng's words, Ying Zheng was very curious and eager to know.

After all, no one wants to break down the power in the hands of the ministers more than he does.

The system of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers was also created by him and Li Si on the basis of the previous period.

Moreover, this system laid the foundation for the political structure of the imperial court for thousands of years in China!

That's right, why the Qin Dynasty is the most important thing for China is that for more than two thousand years, and even in the present, generations of descendants have contributed to Qin Shihuang's decision-making and enjoyed their benefits.

That's so awesome!

However, what Qin Shihuang's generation could do was too limited. He created a very good prototype, but God did not give him this opportunity to go further.

Even what he couldn't accept the most was that he died in less than three years and the Qin Dynasty was destroyed!

Fortunately, all the contributions of Daqin have been passed down for more than two thousand years.

Han is just the inheritance of Qin's mantle.

"Report to Your Majesty."

Feng Zheng said, "In fact, the establishment of this cabinet is the first step in differentiating power.

The minister dared to believe that in fact, this struggle for power is basically a struggle for power between the king and the prime minister, or there may be a general, but this is still too rare."

"kindness……"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, "But this is the case. If the power of the prime minister is too large, it is easy to develop great traitors and evil, and the tail cannot be lost."

"So, His Majesty founded the Cabinet with the intention of delegating more rights from the Prime Minister, and at the same time he was too busy to do so, so he founded the Cabinet with the original intention of decentralization.

Therefore, the Wei minister dared to suggest that the system of Three Dukes and Nine Ministers be changed to the system of Three Provinces and Six Ministry.”

"Three provinces and six ministries?"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng felt a sudden change in his heart.

Feng Zheng seemed to have mentioned these in his mind?

"What are the three provinces and six ministries?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the three provinces refer to the Secretariat, the Menxia Province, and the Secretariat.

The six ministries refer to the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of War, Ministry of Justice, and Ministry of Works under the Secretariat. This Secretariat is actually the current position of prime minister, but it has changed from one person to the entire department and a group of people.

Your Majesty, you think, it is much harder for this group of people to vent their anger completely than a single person, right?"

Hiss?

Transform the position of prime minister from one person to a group of people?

This is undoubtedly a good idea!

After all, the possibility of a group of people making plans at the same time will be greatly reduced.

Ying Zheng knew very well that all officials must not let them all be extremely harmonious and truly work together.

Otherwise, it would be a blessing for all officials, but it would be a disaster for the emperor.
