Chapter 1030 The World Is Ours and Yours! Have I Ever Been Disgusted with the Division of Fiefdoms?

This is mobilizing talents, not buying groceries.

Ying Chengxuan did not play the trick of retreating into advance. After leaving the palace gate, Ying Chengxuan walked away without any hesitation or pause.

As for the whereabouts of Kong Yu, Fu Sheng and others?

Ying Chengyu really hoped that they would abandon Qin and go north in anger!

This time in the battle to destroy Qi, Ying Chengyu failed to go on a killing spree and left a lot of tricks behind, but in the next battle, Ying Chengyu will not leave so many worries for Great Qin!

In Ying Chengyu's view, most Confucian scholars in Da Qin and Guandong have irreconcilable conflicts in their fundamental interests.

Great Qin will reward those who have merit, and Great Qin will reward those who have merit, and Great Qin will respect merit.

Even if Ying Chengxuan is a prince of the royal family, his birth status is one of the most noble in the Qin Dynasty. He still has to rely on his efforts to lobby back to the territory of hundreds of miles before he can be crowned king. If there is no merit, Ying Chengxuan will be just a commoner in his life!

Even if Yao Jia was just the son of a city gatekeeper and had been a thief, because he had made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng was willing to reward him generously, treat him with courtesy, and promote him to the ninth minister of the Qin Dynasty!

This concept is tantamount to cutting off the interests of Kong Yu and other great scholars!

The reason why Confucian scholars such as Kong Yu became great Confucian scholars was that their extensive talents and learning were only one aspect. Their status as descendants of Confucius, Mencius, or descendants of a certain son, or descendants of a certain powerful person was even more important.

If they only talk about their merits and not their family background, are they still qualified to be called great Confucians? Can they still be called great Confucians and be praised by the world when they spend all day reading, reciting poetry, tasting wine, and talking without doing anything to produce, contribute to the people, or make contributions to the country?

It's obviously impossible.

Kong Kun never served in the Qin Dynasty, but he ordered a large number of his disciples to join Qin as officials. Seeing Chen Sheng's rebellion against Qin, Kong Kun did not hesitate to join Chen Sheng's banner as a grand master, and summoned his former disciples to join forces with Chen Sheng to capture the Qin city until he was captured by Zhang. Even when Han Yihe provoked rebellion, he had no intention of surrendering to the Qin Dynasty. This shows that Kong Yu was determined to fight for the hereditary interests of the powerful!

When it comes to how to appease these Guandong Confucian scholars, Liu Bang gave a unique trick.

He personally went to Qufu to worship Confucius. Although Kong Teng, the younger brother of Kong Teng, had no merit, he was named the enshrined king just because he was a descendant of Confucius. The descendants were happy to be used by Liu Bang and joined the officialdom of the Han Dynasty one after another, cheering for the Han Dynasty and singing praises.

However, Ying Chengyu was unwilling to give in!

Striding out of the old Qi Royal City, Ying Chengyu looked at the thousands of energetic figures outside the city gate and couldn't help but raise a light but sincere smile: "Excuse me for waiting."

The world is ours and yours, but it should not belong to them who are old and rotten!

Thousands of candidates raised their hands and shouted: "Chang'an Jun is so polite!"

Ying Chengqiao said loudly: "The Qin Dynasty has been conducting examinations for dividing the imperial examinations for a long time."

"Those who fail, don't give up and try again next year."

"Those who are promoted must not be arrogant and do not forget the laws of Qin!"

"Release the list!"

With this order, the atmosphere on the scene became tense.

Qi Diao Li and Gong Yangba led a group of examiners to carry out six wooden boards carved from giant wood.

On the first part of the wooden board, six gold characters "A", "B", "C", "D", "W" and "Ji" are inlaid with gold lines.

The six boards had just been carried out of the city gate, and all the candidates were already agitated. They pushed forward one after another to take a look, but they were frightened by the swords of the legal officials and had to jump on the spot.

When Qi Diao Li and other examiners hung the six gold medals one by one on the wall of the royal city, the atmosphere was almost boiling!

"Look! Is my name on the list?"

"No. 16 on the B list! Hey!!! I won! I won!! Hahahaha~~~~"

"Hey! When will I be able to see your and my names like this? Come on! Brother Zhou rides on my shoulders and climbs up to look at me!"

A group of candidates were crowding, pushing and looking at the list, but a powerful drink caused another wave of ripples like being thrown into boiling water.

"Mr. Chang'an! Don't release the list first, lest you regret it for the rest of your life!"

Not only were there calls, but more than a dozen figures rushed towards the six gold medals.

"Canglanglang~"

There was a sudden sound of uniformly drawing swords, and fifty law officials drew their swords out of their scabbards and faced each other coldly, forcing these dozens of figures to stop suddenly. They no longer dared to attack the gold medal, and could only open their arms to shield the candidates with their bodies. sight.

All the candidates immediately became angry!

Who dares to hinder us at such a critical moment!

oh? It's Fu Sheng, Zi Yusheng and other great scholars! Then... I guess they have something important to do, so let's wait for now.

The candidates gradually became quiet, and Fu Sheng hurried all the way to Ying Chengyu and bowed his hands in front of him: "Fu is concerned about all the people, so he had a little conflict out of necessity. Don't blame me, Lord Chang'an!"

Ying Chengyu looked at Fu Sheng and others in confusion and asked, "Why haven't you guys returned home to pack up your things so that you can go north?"

Ying Chengyu patted his forehead and said as if he suddenly woke up: "Are you afraid of being questioned by the border officers?"

"It's just that I didn't think carefully. Therefore, although you can walk in Qi without a road guide for the time being, you still need a road guide to leave the country."

"I will personally give you guidance later to ensure that you leave Qin smoothly!"

The faces of Fu Sheng and other great scholars suddenly turned dark.

You guy, why don't you open the pot and pick up the pot?

Fu Sheng's voice couldn't help but become more solemn: "It's a small matter for us to go or stay, but the peace of the people of Qin is a big deal."

"I heard that the Lord of Chang'an asked the candidates in this civil service examination whether they thought Qin should be governed by feudalism or prefectures and counties."

"No?"

Ying Chengyu nodded slightly: "Not bad."

Fu Sheng's voice couldn't help but become a little louder: "King Cheng and Duke Zhou moved the Yin people to Luoyi, and in memory of the demise of Xia and Shang, they created an eldest son to serve as Zhou Houping, and first built Wei Shu (Wei Kang). Shufeng) was granted to Kangqiu to protect the remaining people of Yin."

"Uncle Wei gathered his people, and the people were very happy! There is no chaos in Kangqiu, and the hearts of the remaining people of Yin are all toward Zhou!"

"The Master said: Zhou was in charge of the second generation, and he was so gloomy and literary! I followed Zhou."

"Now the Lord of Chang'an has abandoned the enfeoffment of feudal states and chosen prefectures and counties. He has also added his own thoughts to the question of selecting talents, so as to determine the order of talents."

"If Lord Chang'an refuses to accept remonstrance and insists on supporting the counties, I think Wu Geng's Rebellion will definitely happen again!"

"If Lord Chang'an refuses to accept advice and insists on serving his own interests, I think everyone in the court will have only one family to speak out and no one will be able to tell right and wrong. The country of Qin will be in danger!"

Although the Zhou Dynasty implemented the system of enfeoffment at the beginning of its establishment, the number of princes enfeoffed during the period of King Wu of Zhou Dynasty was less than 800. Their purpose was more to conquer the territory externally and appease the Yin Shang remnants internally. , so the subjects of enfeoffment were meritorious ministers such as Jiang Taigong, meritorious relatives named Ji such as Zhou Gongdan, and survivors of the Yin and Shang dynasties such as Wu Geng, the son of King Zhou.

After the death of King Wu of Zhou, Wu Geng united with the three kingdoms of Bei, Yong, and Wei, who were originally responsible for supervising him, as well as several of King Wu's younger brothers. He also brought together a group of remnants who were loyal to the Yin and Shang dynasties to launch the Wu Geng Rebellion, which was known as the Wu Geng Rebellion. The Rebellion of the Three Prisons almost led to the death of the Second Zhou Dynasty!

After Zhou Gongdan personally conquered the rebellion, he was still afraid. This really started the era of great enfeoffment. The purpose of enfeoffment was also transformed from offense to both offense and defense. The enfeoffment was given the important task of serving as a barrier for the Zhou royal family. The number of enfeoffment in the Zhou Dynasty skyrocketed. The number of princes surnamed Ji and Ji increased sharply, and gradually formed the feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty that was well known to later generations.

Ying Chengyu looked at Fu Sheng like he was a fool and asked, "Just now, all the great scholars gathered together to question my nephew."

"Now you are obstructing official duties and stopping me from giving advice. Is this what this is about?"

"Do you think that I don't know about the Wu Geng Rebellion or the faults of the three prison guards?"

Fu Sheng felt even more uncomfortable, and his voice became heavier and colder: "Fu Sheng doesn't care about Qin's survival."

"However, if all the people suffer due to the fault of Lord Chang'an, then Fu is really unwilling to do so!"

The candidates couldn't help but make a little noise.

The candidates who supported the rule of the Qin Dynasty in the test paper wished they could kidnap Fu Sheng on the spot, lest Fu Sheng's words would change Ying Chengyu's mind.

The candidates who supported the enfeoffment of Qin Dynasty in the test paper stopped other candidates and looked at Fu Sheng eagerly to support them.

Ying Chengyu shook his head speechlessly and spoke loudly: "Take the roll of Cao Shen, who is the first-class person in the first test!"

There was an uproar among the candidates: "Cao Shen? Who is this? I have never heard of this person's name!"

"Just by listening to his name, you can tell that this person is definitely not from a wealthy family. How on earth did this son use his ability to flatter, say things that go against his heart, and try his best to admonish the counties to govern the Qin Dynasty in order to steal the top rank?!"

"Just because I guessed what Lord Chang'an was thinking, and supported the use of prefectures and counties to govern the Qin Dynasty, he can get a first-class reputation? It's such an unfair test, so it's okay not to participate!"

Zhou Chang grasped Cao Shen's sleeve and shook it vigorously, shouting in surprise: "Brother Cao, you won! The first place in the first class! The first place in the first class is my brother Cao!"

Almost all the candidates cast unkind glances at Cao Shen, and there seemed to be a line of small words written on their eyeballs: Flattery!

Only Cao Shen's head was buzzing and he was stunned.

Cao was already mentally prepared to return without success. How could he possibly get the top spot?

With the repeated orders from the military strategist, the candidates finally stopped making noise, and Cao Shen's test paper was delivered to Ying Chengyu.

Ying Chengyu handed the test paper to Fu Sheng and said quietly: "Read it!"

Faced with Ying Chengyu's attitude, Fu Sheng's displeasure was directly on his face and he wanted to throw him away!

But thinking that he was here for this, Fu Sheng finally picked up the test paper and recited aloud: "My husband from Qin has lived in Guanzhong for a long time, and my husband from Qi is located on the coast of the East China Sea."

"The rule of Qin is not suitable for the land of Qi, and the people of Qin do not know the land of Qi."

"Therefore, the student thought that the land of Qi should be divided into four kingdoms, and the four princes of the royal family should be enfeoffed. Then, the princes of the royal family should imitate Uncle Wei, search for the virtuous people of Qi, inquire about the way of governance, and govern with laws adapted to local conditions... "

After reciting this, Fu Sheng was like a goose that was strangled by the neck, his voice suddenly stopped and his face turned red!

He finally understood why Ying Chengyu looked at him like that just now.

The number one person selected by Ying Chengyu for the first test actually supports the enfeoffment system!

but! How is this possible!

The scholars were stunned, the candidates were at a loss, and everyone looked at Ying Chengyu.

Kong Kun almost couldn't wait to ask: "Does the Lord of Chang'an dislike ruling Qin by enfeoffing?!"

Ying Chengxuan asked: "Have I ever said that I despise the system of enfeoffment?"
