Great Qin's son-in-law

"Great Qin really can't tolerate nobles?" Xiao He said.

Liu Ji pondered for a moment, finally nodded affirmatively, and said: "During this period of time, I have repeatedly thought about it. Da Qin really cannot tolerate nobles. Qin Zheng itself runs counter to the nobles. Even if Qin Luoheng didn't do anything this time, he will definitely do it next time Will do it."

"We all overlooked one thing before."

"What kind of country is Daqin trying to build?"

"These problems can actually be seen from the new policies of the Great Qin Dynasty. These new policies came from the first emperor, and to a certain extent, they represent the will of the first emperor. The first emperor wanted to eradicate the nobles, and even built a new family."

"But if I were Shihuang, I would do the same."

"Nobles must be attacked!"

Liu Ji's gaze was sharp and rarely serious.

Xiao He asked, "Why?"

Liu Jidao: "In the past hundreds of years, Chui Gong and the literati ruled the world together. As a result, we have all seen that the literati gradually became self-reliant, and even separatist regimes. Follow the chaos of the Zhou Dynasty?"

"Scholar bureaucrats and aristocrats are not tolerated by the first emperor."

"At the grand gathering of scholars back then, I vaguely remember someone telling me that the ten sons said that the lust of a gentleman will be cut in the fifth life, and the lust of a villain will be cut in the fifth life. If it can be realized, there will inevitably be a situation. , people from the bottom continue to climb up, and then decline after several lifetimes.”

"Here it goes."

"Isn't this situation more beneficial to the royal family than the era of scholar-bureaucrats?"

"The constant rotation of the scholar-bureaucrat class means that these scholar-bureaucrat classes can never accumulate strength. How can such a scholar-bureaucrat class threaten the royal family?"

"After Shang Yang's reform, Qin actually established this system, but at that time there was only Qin in one place, so it didn't cause a shock in the world, but this system also brought vitality to Qin, because Qin didn't stick to trifles, only talent Yes."

"Therefore, many talented people in the world chose to vote for Qin."

"the reason is simple."

"Because Qin doesn't look at your background, your family status, your status, but your ability. If you are really capable, then you can occupy a high position."

"This situation has not changed since the unification of Qin Dynasty, but has been further strengthened."

"And this has become a knot between Qin and the nobles."

"Nobles enjoy the superiority of being born superior to others. This sense of superiority has existed for hundreds of years. How could they be willing to be reduced to the pariah that they used to regard as 'pigs and dogs'? Therefore, the nobles will definitely oppose Qin."

"Because the two are like fire and water."

"The Qin government was established on the basis of opposing the dictatorship of the scholar-bureaucrats, and it must also step on the corpses of the nobles to establish a new system. What happened in Chu this time is just a microcosm of Qin's further extension of its own system to the whole country."

"That's never going to go away."

"unless."

"Great Qin perished."

"Or the nobles are completely destroyed."

"I have been thinking about whether this system will be successful before, but the behavior of the tenth son this time made me think a little more."

"In the past, scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world."

"Right now, the Ten Young Masters are clearly aiming to unite the lower class and make the lower class confront the scholar-bureaucrat class. It may indeed be a feasible method to have the lower class to attract the attention of the scholar-bureaucrat class. It won't change."

"Perhaps the emperor's suppression of scholar-bureaucrats has never changed."

"The bottom layer is at best scratching the itch."

Liu Ji lowered his head with a rare serious expression.

During this period of time, because he worked in Shouchun County, he also had a deep understanding of the Qin government and the Qin system. Coupled with his own comprehension, he gradually became clear about the operating system of the Great Qin.

The so-called system of Daqin.

In fact, they all serve one person.

It is the emperor!

All the laws and decrees of the Great Qin are actually aimed at consolidating the imperial power and preventing the power from falling apart, and they have been constantly weakening the power of the courtiers. From the beginning to the end, the Great Qin's system pursues that the Great Qin will last forever, and the emperor will rule the world alone.

Anything that might threaten imperial power is constantly being weakened and suppressed.

And
Liu Ji gradually realized something.

There is actually a reason why Daqin was not keen on eliminating the nobles of the six countries before, but aimed at maintaining stability in the world.

The hidden dangers of the nobility are obvious.

The hidden dangers inside Daqin are truly fatal.

Listening to Liu Ji's explanation, Xiao He was thoughtful, and then sighed softly: "Yes, these nobles are born high, how could they be willing to accept the reality? Are they willing to admit that they are really down?"

"Qin can't tolerate these nobles."

"Even if the Ten Young Masters don't attack the nobles of Chu this time, Da Qin will definitely attack other nobles next time, and they will never stop."

"Qin's government is dominated by scholar-bureaucrats."

"In order to prevent the emperor's power from being threatened."

"The first emperor came out of troubled times. He knew the flaws of the Zhou Dynasty system like the palm of his hand. Naturally, he didn't want the Great Qin that he built by himself to repeat the same mistakes. Therefore, the existence of nobles who have been prominent for generations is completely contrary to Great Qin."

"It's too cruel to be beheaded for just the fifth life."

Xiao He couldn't help but sighed.

Liu Ji frowned slightly and glanced at Xiao He.

He said angrily, "Why Xiao He? You still want to be a nobleman? Do you want to be a prince for generations?"

Xiao He's expression froze.

Liu Jidao: "It's not bad for people like us with half-clay legs to become scholar-bureaucrats. As for being a nobleman before, I basically don't think about it. Moreover, the system of Great Qin is indeed cruel, but it may not be really cruel."

"Daqin's title is gradually decreasing."

"So after the fifth generation, if one's descendants are still incompetent, even if they are nobles, they would have fallen down long ago, but if the descendants of the family have talents, they will naturally be able to rise again. Blindly suppress."

"If there is no one in the five generations, even if you are given the position of public minister, can you sit still?"

"Daqin's system seems ruthless, but in fact it's a little bit respectable. Even if you are really incapable, as long as you don't make mistakes or have accidents, you can basically get through it safely. But if you want to rise again, you can also take some risks. thing."

"High returns entail high risks."

"At that time, there should be some costs."

"I think Daqin's system is good, at least better than the bullshit system of the third generation, at least it gives us such low-level people room to rise. If the descendants of Gongqing can't become talents with such a wealthy environment, it can only mean that they are just a person. waste."

"What can one expect from waste?"

"When the time comes, we'll all be dead, and it's our business to deal with future generations."

"It would be nice if we could pass on an official title and half a title."

aside.

Fan Kuai laughed loudly and said: "Liu Ji is still right. The matter of future generations, regardless of our business, no one may remember us at that time. Why do we worry so much? You might as well work harder if you have this spare time. Earn more titles."

Hearing what the two said, Xiao He not only blushed.

Archway:
"I was thinking too much."

"Ashamed!"

Liu Ji shook his head and said: "This is not your problem. Your background is better than ours. After all, you have been in school and studied. Fan Kui and I faced the loess in the past, so naturally it doesn't matter to these people."

"But you are different."

"You have a certain family background."

"So you naturally want to continue the family."

"There's nothing wrong with that."

"And this is also a hidden danger for Qin Ting at the moment."

"The hidden worries of the nobles are in the open, but the courtiers in the court are in the dark. Those people are in high positions, how can they not want to shade their children and grandchildren? Most of these people want to restore the 'nobility' control people."

"The corruption of the six places may not be caused by them."

"Before the first emperor, he kept his hands on the nobles of the six lands. It may be that he was deliberately marking the officials of the court. After all, the nobles of the six lands were completely vulnerable in the eyes of the first emperor, and the officials of the court were the real worries."

"A few years ago."

"If I remember correctly."

"There has been a change of officials in the court."

"Those veterans are really willing to step down?"

Liu Ji sneered.

He didn't believe that those who were born in high positions would be willing to step down, that was the real power in their hands.

Hearing what Liu Ji said, Xiao He frowned.

He took a deep look at Liu Ji, and in a daze, he felt that Liu Ji seemed to have a particularly clear view of the Daqin system.

Liu Ji didn't say much about it.

He is only temporarily in charge of the post of county assistant in Shouchun, and he has no control over the affairs of the court, so naturally he won't put his mind so far.

Xiao He said: "Liu Ji, how do you think Chu Di will end?"

heard.

Liu Ji's eyes became darker.

He clenched his chin, with some hesitation in his eyes.

Slowly said:
"not sure."

"But at least the nobles must be finished."

"Officials big and small in Chu land should not make a big move, but they will kill some of them. As for the others, it should be like this."

"The prestige of the ten sons will be very high in Chu."

"However, we have to wait until the tenth prince leaves to see the situation in Chu. At that time, the officials of Chu and some remaining nobles will definitely counterattack, but the strength may not be as good as before. I am afraid that our task at that time will be responsible for the suppression."

"But in any case, we are all beneficiaries."

"At least we have a share in the fields, and we also have us when we get promoted."

"As for the matter in the court, it's the tenth master's headache. We don't have to think about it, but if nothing happens after the tenth master returns, then we can be completely bound together with the tenth master from now on."

"Because the ten sons will definitely be the heir of the Great Qin Dynasty!"

"Although the ten sons are the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty, in my opinion, it is already a certainty, but the courtiers in the court may not be willing, so there will be some repetitions in the end. This time the matter has a great impact. If the first emperor takes action to suppress , there is basically no objection.”

"If the first emperor doesn't come forward and let the ten sons solve it by themselves, there will still be a period of time."

"But it's only a matter of time."
