The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1129 Family Tree and National History [Subscription*Monthly Ticket Request]

There is actually no conflict between feudalism and centralized power.

Control what can be controlled, and divide what cannot be controlled by manpower and transportation!

"I believe the Qin State should also be interested!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

The military merit system of Bingzhou would not collapse. After all, Bingzhou was vast and rich in resources, and its inhabitants were mainly nomadic peoples. They had no obsession with leaving their homeland of China, so the rewards could be given anywhere.

It was different with the Qin State. The territory of the Qin State was so small that it was difficult to enfeoff Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi, unless they were granted the five noble surnames and promised to expand their territory.

The Qin State had finally achieved unification, so it was naturally impossible for a second political power or small court to exist within the Qin territory.

As a result, the value of the land, flags, and stone tablets discovered during the Bingzhou field trip is still increasing at this moment.

"Foreign Minister, send the map to the State of Qin and ask Zhao Zheng if he wants the land back. If he does, we will send it to him. Of course, we have to exchange it for money!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

Alone Better Together.

Bingzhou cannot take up so much territory, and the situation will be different if Qin State is added.

All the people of Xia are united.

In the future, no matter whether Bingzhou or Qin is gone, these people with titles in other places will at least have a home.

As for the fiefdom of Bingzhou, whether Qin recognized it or not, it was bound to recognize it. It helped, got a piece of land for free, and demonstrated its own strength. Why not do it?

Even if it is just a small piece of land, it can give the reigning monarch a good reputation for expanding territory, which is a temptation that no emperor can refuse.

"Drag Qin into the water!" Gongsun Linglong understood immediately.

Bingzhou cannot handle such a large territory, with so many places for raising flags and engraving stone tablets. If it were to ask for help from all of them, Bingzhou’s national strength might not be able to support it. But if Qin was added to the mix, the situation would be different.

Is Qin short of money? Yes!
But was Qin poor? Yes, it was poor!
But if our own people were bullied outside, would China still be poor and short of money?
will not!

You can be bullied at home and looked down upon because of your poverty, but you can’t be like that outside!
The city-state system of the Maurya Empire was a natural place for the Qin State to alleviate the disadvantages brought about by military merit titles.

The militaristic Qin Dynasty cannot stop its conquests, so it won’t stop.

Expanding territory and becoming a partner from an employee, who can refuse?
What’s the point of a single page in a family tree?
This is a new chapter in the history of our country.

A family tree published alone can at most have influence in a local area, but what about a national history published alone?
That is the true way to be remembered through the ages. Even if you fail, it will be recorded and wait for future generations to come.

What's more, given the current size of Qin and Bingzhou, it is not easy to fail.

Those who can be granted a title are all carefully chosen and picked from among the people of destiny.

In a word, His Majesty allows you to overcome all difficulties and establish a country. Who can refuse?
Even if it was Wang Jian or the good-natured Yang Duanhe, as long as Ying Zheng dared to say that he would take people out to establish a country for them, Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe would not say that they were old. They would only sharpen their swords and say, "Help me up, I can still fight!"
The temptation to enfeoff is enormous.

Giving away people and three months' worth of food and fodder was the minimum guarantee for the emperor's fiefdom.

If you can't get a foothold in the local area after three months, then there is no need to leave. Just come back and work honestly.

As for the assassination?
In fact, no one would care too much. If Yan Yan was dead, it would be a big deal, but Yan Yan was not dead and he was arrested, so it could only be regarded as a small disturbance in the court.

Therefore, interrogations were only conducted by the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Military Control Commission in cooperation with the Supreme Court, and none of them were brought to the Prime Minister's Office for trial.

The highest-ranking officials who went to the trial were Han Fei and the deputy censor of the Censorate. Zhao Gao did not show up.

At the Yulin Guard station, Han Fei brought the judges and law enforcement guards from the Supreme Court to receive these assassins.

"Master Han Fei, please be careful. These people are all masters. Ordinary shackles may not be able to block their cultivation. So, I pierced all their scapulae!" Dian Qing reminded cautiously.

"..." Han Fei looked at the masters who had their scapula locked with cold iron hooks.

Even if he was a master, his scapula would be locked, and his fighting power would be almost completely wasted. If there was no great opportunity, his life would be wasted.

As for cruelty and sympathy, Han Fei had no such ideas.

"Sir Han, Sir Zhao sent me here to cooperate!" The deputy censor was also very clear about his position.

He was just here for the formality, and Han Fei was still the main person in charge.

"Hello, Lord Yun!" Han Fei was also very respectful.

"Take him away!" Han Fei signaled the law enforcement guards to take the man back to the Supreme Court.

Although people were sent to invite Qin to send people to jointly try the case, Bingzhou would also conduct a trial first.

"Commander Mo, what kind of result does His Majesty want?" After returning to the Supreme Court, Han Fei called Mo Ya and asked him privately.

The Supreme Court is responsible for judicial enforcement, but that does not mean there are no other tricks and operations.

For major cases like this, it actually depends more on what outcome the higher-ups want, and then the Supreme Court will stop at that outcome and will not continue to investigate further.

"Stop at Nan Gong!" Mo Ya said in a low voice.

If the investigation is really continued, Donghuang Taiyi of the Yin-Yang School and even the Taoists will be implicated.

So Yan Yan didn't want to make too much of a fuss.

Otherwise, not only these criminals, but also the hundreds of families behind them will be implicated, which is not in line with the development trend of Bingzhou.

"Zifei understands, thank you Commander Mo!" Han Fei nodded.

If we stop at Lord Chu Nan, then the same goes for the others. We will only punish the main culprit without implicating the hundreds of families behind him.

"The Jinyiwei and the Military Control Commission will come to warn the forces behind them. They need the cooperation of the Supreme Court and some money!" Mo Ya continued.

Why is it three three? Because there is still four for the one on top.

"Okay!" Han Fei smiled.

When the Jinyiwei and the Military Control Commission come to your door, it is not a matter of how much you can come up with to settle the matter, but how much they want before they are satisfied.

Soon, a delegation of Qin envoys arrived, led by Li Si.

"There are many Qin titles involved. Junior brother, do you want to avoid them?" Han Fei looked at Li Si and asked in a low voice.

"Tonggu brought your majesty's personal sword. He had no intention of letting these people return to Xianyang alive!" Li Si pressed the long sword at his waist.

The order he received was not to let these people return to Xianyang alive.

After the trial in Bingzhou was over, these people were sent on their way.

As for the family forces behind them, the Qin State has also sent Luowang and Yingmiwei to control them.

"That's good!" Han Fei also breathed a sigh of relief. If Qin insisted on bringing back certain people, Bingzhou would be in trouble.

"Lord Nan must die, right?" Li Si asked.

As for Duke Nan of Chu, Ying Zheng's attitude was to save him if possible, and forget about it if not.

"Your Majesty wants to build a nine-story pagoda as a mausoleum, and they are the guardian beasts of the nine-story pagoda!" Han Fei did not hide it.

Even if he didn't say these things, Li Si could find out by asking.
