Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 302 System is always more reliable than human nature! (first update)
Qin Luoheng said:

"Can it be avoided by being locked up in Xianyang?"

"The reason for this kind of situation in history is basically that the clan's children have mastered the local military and political power, so they have the ability to challenge the court, and then have the idea of ​​​​replacing it. This situation is not impossible."

"It's just that we need to make a fuss about the system!"

"Throughout the history of China, there are actually very limited restrictions on the children of the clan. Except for the theory put forward by the Shang Jun that they must not be a member of the family unless they have military merits, basically all dynasties in history have not had too many explicit restrictions on the children of the clan, and Shang Jun The relevant laws and regulations are also half-abolished in Daqin."

"In all dynasties, when the country was founded, the imperial court actually needed the support of the imperial clan, but if the enfeoffment was implemented, what happened in the later Zhou Dynasty would undoubtedly happen again, and after three generations, the family affection between the imperial clan was weak, and the situation of separation between the local government and the imperial court was even worse. It happens frequently."

"Yes."

"Shihuang made another choice."

"Since enfeoffment is not enough, these people should be confined to Xianyang. With the strong national power of Great Qin, it is more than enough to support the clan."

"But it's actually treating the symptoms, not the root cause!"

"The imperial court is already extremely short of people, but now it restricts a large number of clan children to Xianyang, which undoubtedly exacerbates the shortage of local people. As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the people are few and the ministers are many. The place is too far away from Xianyang, and the deterrent power of the imperial court radiates not."

"And this is also the reason for the enfeoffment of the past dynasties."

"No matter how bad the clan's children are, they still come from the clan. In the early days, they shared weal and woe with the imperial court, and everyone suffered a loss. Therefore, the clan's children are beneficial to stabilize the place."

"But the first emperor obviously thought about the long term."

"The first emperor knew how the Zhou Dynasty fell, and also knew that enfeoffment was unreliable, so he pushed for the system of prefectures and counties, just to avoid this situation."

"It's just unrealistic."

"The world is vast, and the Great Qin has a shortage of officials. This move is tantamount to increasing the burden on itself. How can the courtiers not know the pros and cons of it? They just dare not speak."

"After all, it is related to the emperor's family."

"In my opinion, the first emperor doesn't have to change. He only needs to make certain changes. Shang Jun's method is actually the best. Only by making meritorious service can he be granted clan membership. Without credit, he will be automatically removed from the clan. This is also beneficial. Reduce the burden on Daqin."

"I know the chief official's worry."

"The chief official has personally experienced the Chengyu Rebellion, so he is worried that he will repeat the same mistakes, but there are actually certain reasons why the same mistakes will happen again. It's just that no one has thought about it before, and they dare not think about it, because the imperial palace is deep and deep. Test, outsiders can't interfere!"

"Great Qin has its own laws!"

"But the laws involving the clan's children are abandoned."

"Not even any more."

"And this is obviously wrong. There are many talented people among the clan's children. In the past, the Daqin clan made great contributions to the establishment of Daqin. Yinghua, Yingji, etc. have become generals and ministers. Now Daqin There are so many descendants in the clan, so why can't there be another talented Wang Zuo?"

Qin Luoheng shook his head and said:

"No!"

"Prevention is essential."

"Not less."

"The power of the emperor must not be left behind!"

"But blocking is worse than sparse."

"Shihuang was the first to propose restricting the clan's children to Xianyang. In the short term, there is indeed no problem, but in the long run, this method will definitely cause problems, because the life of the clan's children is too rich."

"Right now, among the princes of the first emperor, only a few can covet the position of crown prince, and most of them can only choose to indulge in leisure and pleasure. What about in the future? Right now, the prestige of the first emperor is high enough to prevent them from fighting, but what about later? ?”

"The emperor's heirs spend their entire lives with the only goal of fighting for one."

"In the future, internal friction will become more serious."

"What's more, let a person with good power come to power, but only knows how to play power and knows nothing about governing the world. How can such a person govern Great Qin well?"

"and."

"As time goes by, the number of clan children will increase."

"Right now Daqin is indeed able to provide for it, but what about in the future? What about after a hundred years or a thousand years? At that time, the number of clan children was already an astonishing number. Would you be willing?"

"And this will also intensify the battle for the next crown prince!"

"When."

"The internal friction between clans will become more serious!"

"Daqin relied on the unity of the clan to grow from weak to strong, but now it is at the end of the day, and even because of a small loss, it gave up all its original advantages because of a mistake. Isn't it a pity?"

"Since the Great Qin Reform, we have not supported useless people."

"What about the clan?"

"This is beyond the law!"

"From now on, the princes of the clan will only have one way to compete for the reserve. They will definitely have fierce conflicts with their successors. Because they can only stay in Xianyang, the internal friction among the princes will rapidly intensify, and the situation will even be like fire and water. Once one party gains power, afterwards , with new and old grudges piled up, it's hard not to kill the rest of the young masters."

"Once this precedent is set, it will probably intensify in the future!"

"The first emperor's approach is to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, and this is actually inevitable, because the world has never restricted the clan in the past, and throughout the long history, there is no way to learn from it, so the first emperor adopted a one-shot method. "

"But the actual effect is very small."

"You can only care about the present, but you can't care about the long-term."

Ying Zheng's face was ugly.

It was the first time he was scolded like this.

Although he was extremely annoyed, Ying Zheng did not lose his mind, because Qin Luoheng's words did hit him, and what he said was very reasonable. Even if it really continued, what Qin Luoheng said would inevitably happen. occurring.

Because of desire!

Ying Zheng said with a gloomy face, "So you think it's time to assign titles? Give some vacant posts to the clan's children, and send them to the local area, so that they can be powerful in the local area?"

Qin Luoheng smiled.

Said:

"Of course it's impossible."

"In my opinion, Daqingang is still using the old system."

"You don't get naturalized without meritorious service!"

"The children of the clan are already well-qualified, but if they want to obtain the membership of the clan, they must prove that they have the ability, otherwise, they will only enjoy temporary wealth and honor. Great Qin has no shortage of clans, and there is no shortage of clan children."

"What Daqin lacks is a system!"

"A system that manages the entry and exit of the clan's children."

"Daqin has always claimed to the outside world that everything has its own rules and regulations, and the children of the clan should also have relevant laws and regulations."

"The problems that the chief officials worry about can be restrained by the system."

Done.

Qin Luoheng paused.

Ying Zheng's eyes were slightly fixed, and his expression was a little serious.

He said, "Details."

Qin Luoheng took a deep breath, bowed respectfully, and said, "What you say later, the boy may be a little shocking, please forgive me."

Ying Zheng took a deep look at Qin Luoheng.

snorted coldly:
"If I really have an opinion, what you said earlier is enough to make you suffer in prison. I don't have such a small temper. If you can't say something with reason, then don't blame me for turning your face and denying others. gone."

Qin Luoheng smiled awkwardly.

Said:

"The official said so."

"In my opinion, the Daqin system is seriously lacking."

"Not only the clan's children, but also the imperial court. Daqin's system is very chaotic, unsystematic, and even less systematic. Right now, it is still a grassroots team, and there is no formalized and rationalized system at all!"

Ying Zheng frowned.

But he didn't choose to speak.

He just looked at Qin Luoheng coldly.

Qin Luoheng obviously knew what he was talking about.

He took a deep breath again, and said with a solemn expression: "The boy has also heard about the big movement in the imperial court these days. After studying it with great concentration, he discovered a truth. Daqin did not have a clear promotion system. This time, the imperial court The reason why the hall is so violent is not subjective."

"Even passively."

"The officials above the court, unless they die of old age, illness, or are really unable to work, they will basically not take the initiative to retire. If the Great Qin really stabilized the world, the officials would have no worries about food and clothing, and there is no danger of life and death. Life is undoubtedly will increase."

"These officials will even control the court for a long time."

"The imperial court needs new faces, new ideas, and young and vigorous officials. However, the promotion system for officials has never been systematically established. In the past, they were promoted when there were vacancies, or were abolished. , and then choose someone to appoint."

"It's actually unhealthy!"

"Daqin's promotion and retreat system should be put on the agenda."

"Daqin has its own charter."

"If there is a promotion, naturally there will be a retreat!"

"Not only local officials, but also court officials."

"Three lords and nine ministers, there should be no exceptions for these important court officials."

"When a certain time limit comes, you should step down, or when you reach the age, you should step down automatically. Only when the position is vacated, can the court have a steady stream of potential for advancement, and can effectively avoid officials' mediocrity and laziness."

"in this way."

"With the circulation of official positions, officials have a visible promotion space, which is also beneficial to improve the enthusiasm of officials, and then keep Daqin in a dynamic balance all the time, preventing the court power from being seized by others."

Ying Zheng frowned.

Qin Luoheng provided him with a new way of thinking.

Officials advance and retreat.

If it can be done, combined with the Great Qin system, it can indeed avoid the emergence of powerful ministers to a large extent, and can also maintain the centralization of power to a large extent, avoiding the fall of imperial power. More importantly, the selection of officials is in the hands of the emperor, as long as the emperor Pay attention, and you can largely prevent other families from growing bigger and threatening the court.

Ying Zheng closed his eyes slightly.

He took a deep look at Qin Luoheng and realized that Qin Luoheng was different from before.

His thoughts became more ruthless!

Ying Zheng said indifferently: "This is your solution to the clan's children?"

Qin Luoheng nodded.

Said:

"Just by analogy."

"From small to large, from the end to the root, everything can be solved by the system. The Great Qin obtained the world by the system, and it should also govern the world from the system."

"Institutions are always more reliable than human nature!!!"
