Chapter 1470 A false alarm

"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable, I'm so angry..."

After hearing what happened in the court today, Zhao Hai's Qiji's seven orifices were roaring back and forth in the study, roaring loudly like a fire-breathing beast.

Chen Xu proposed to implement the Lord Act, which was reasonable. After all, almost all the kings and princes and ministers had known the contents of the Lord Act drafted by Chen Xu before, and that the current military structure and military merit reward system had reached a point where they had to be changed. The Marquis of Jingwu first proposed the reform of the military system, and then the First Emperor solicited Chen Xu who had left the capital. Chen Xu put a new military title bill into the military reform memorial sent back, and the content was very ordinary, which was to restore the fifth-level titles from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to replace the current twenty-level military titles, including the army and the officials of the court and county courts, and use merit evaluation to verify the merits, and finally granted the Lord and a certain amount of fief.

There is no problem with this old bill, and now the feudal system of princes has been restored. As long as Hu Hai ascended the throne, he can impose a large number of officials who assisted him in usurping the throne.

And this promise is the core content of Zhao Hai and Hu Hai being able to win over important figures.

In addition to Zhao Hai, Zhao Cheng and Zhao Ying and other royal personnel who wanted to get a ban on the country, Qi Dang, the internal historian, Shen Gongyan, the Ministry of Personnel, and Lu Xiao, even the Lieutenant's Mansion, were deeply tempted by this and boarded the ship.

Qi Dangshen Duke Yan and Lu Xiao were both important officials in the court. The nine ministers were honored. Although there was no marquis, the nine ministers had a status of honor. They were also granted fiefs and land property. They were named Shangqing Marquis and were treated similarly. The only thing is that the nobles were official titles and could not be inherited. If they died of illness or old age or return home, their titles and fiefs would have to be taken back. The marquis could be inherited. Even if they had children and grandchildren, they could still enjoy the mountains and enjoy the happiness. This is the benefit of military merits and the reason why Chen Xu's new Lord Act was supported by almost all officials this time.

But what Zhao Hai and others did not expect was that the second edition of the Lord's Bill that Chen Xu suddenly reported today was so crazy, almost completely cutting off their most important temptation to win over kings, princes, ministers, and important civil and military officials with one blow.

No princes or princes unless he is a royal relative.

"Chan Xu, I actually implemented such a bad method to cut off my back..."

Zhao Hai gritted his teeth and rushed around the study room, his face gloomy and ferocious. After a long time, he pushed out and ordered the car to go straight to Chunfangyuan. At the same time, he asked the servants from the mansion to invite a group of core members to discuss.

In just half an hour, in a separate garden in the backyard of Chunfang Garden, the guards around them held steel knives and crossbows to prevent their defense from being scattered. Several luxurious carriages followed one by one. Soon, middle-aged and elderly men in brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes were coming down, leaving a group of guards and coachmen, and then headed straight for a separate room in the garden with a gloomy face.

Zhao Hai had already been waiting in it, and the group of people were familiar with it. Before they could even greet him, they all gathered together to start muttering and discussing. The insults of the teeth-cutting incisors and the sound of the angry hammering table were heard.

After a low and noisy, the room slowly became quiet. A group of princes who usually swayed by the city were panting and plucking their beards and began to think of their own ways.

"At this point, we cannot lose our stance. Although the Lord's Act has begun to be implemented, it is not impossible to change. As long as Hai'er can ascend the throne smoothly, we can still modify or even abolish this Act!" After a long time, Zhao Bing, the oldest Marquis of Gaoyang, spoke.

"I said so, but now I am afraid that I will affect our planning. I want to use the method of enfeoffing the princes to lure those important officials, but I am afraid there will be problems!" Zhao Cheng, the Marquis of Changwu, shook his head with an ugly expression.

"It seems that you should be as careful as possible in the future and don't make promises about the ban. The most important thing now is to carefully comfort some of the Qinghou who have been won over, so as to ensure that you will not break your promise after the matter is completed!"

"Yes, comfort is indeed very important. Lu Xiao was still hesitant. If Qi Dangshen Gongyan and others had any questions, I was afraid that the matter would be exposed..."

"That's true. This incident happened a little unexpectedly. Later, someone was arranged to invite Qi Dang and Shen Gongyan to have a banquet and comfort him. By the way, what's the situation in Lu Xiao recently?"

"Lu Xiao hasn't come to the chess and card room for three consecutive days. He has owed Wucheng Hou more than 70,000 yuan and Yang Mu more than 30,000 yuan. He still owes a lot of money, totaling about 200,000 yuan. In the past few days, he heard that he was borrowing money and asking about selling the land in the villa. I am afraid he is almost at the end of his life..." Zhao Hai spoke.

"This is good news. As long as Lu Xiao surrenders over, we will have a much greater chance of success!"

"I'm afraid that this new Lord's bill will make him hesitate..."

"Mr. Marquis doesn't need to worry!" Just as Zhao Cheng shook his head, the door of the room creaked open, and a young scholar wearing a green cloth walked in.

"Mr. Zhang is here just right!" The princes and princes in the room stood up together, and the nervousness on their faces became a little relaxed, as if this young man was their backbone.

"What do you think about the new Lord Act?" A group of people sat down again, Zhao Hai asked after pouring a cup of hot tea for the young scholar himself.

"Whether you don't worry, this Lord's Act is not the final version and will not have any impact on the Marquis' plan. At most, Lu Xiao will definitely get into the trap for half a month..." The young literati smiled after taking a sip of tea with a relaxed expression.

"Why did Mr. Zhang say this?" Zhao Hai and others looked at the young scholar together.

"Did you forget that after the court proposed to implement the Lords Act, the Marquis of Qinghe immediately submitted a supplementary bill. Although the content is unknown, it will inevitably involve more details of the priesthood of the Lords and princes. The current Lords Act is just the first edition, which is in line with the reform strategy of Qinghe Hou's always rough first and then detailed first and then difficult. In Liang's opinion, that supplementary bill is the key!" Zhang Liang put down his teacup and said.

"The supplementary proposal was hidden by His Majesty, and no one saw it. How can Mr. Zhang be sure it is related to the ban?" The five doctors Zhao Ying asked with confusion, pulling his beard and holding his face.

"Doctor Zhao only looked at the surface but did not think about it. He had asked the court officials in detail just now. His Majesty said something after reading the supplementary bill, indicating that this supplementary bill was aimed at some future things, and you think where is the focus of the future of the Qin Dynasty?" Zhang Liang's eyes swept across the faces of Zhao Hai and others.

"The future...the future...the center of the future of Qin is probably to conquer the West!" Zhao Hai grabbed his beard and thought for a long time, and his eyes lit up.

"Yes, the focus of the future of the Qin Dynasty is overseas. In the West, Your Majesty's ideal is to conquer hundreds of millions of tribes in the four continents of the world and achieve the supreme emperor's way. Although our Qin Dynasty is good at soldiers and food, the world is very large and east, west, south and north, and the territory is even more vast. It is easy to conquer, but it is too difficult to govern. You must have heard the story of the Western Alexander Empire. It is precisely because the Alexander Empire is too vast and the conquered tribes and races have too many, which has caused serious internal disagreements. After the death of Alexander, the huge empire collapsed instantly, creating a situation where there are many princes in the West..."

Zhang Liang took a sip of water slowly, and his eyes lit up, and said, "The experience of the Alexander Empire is near, and the Queen of Qinghe is a disciple of the immortal family. How could the Qin Dynasty repeat the same mistake? It will inevitably be fully prepared for the Qin Dynasty to conquer the West in the future. Liang believed that the Queen of Qinghe, the secret and unanimous supplementary bill, was to prepare for the expansion of overseas and conquering Western countries in the future. Once the Qin Dynasty conquers cities and territory in the West and cannot govern the county, it can only be governed by the princes. Although Your Majesty has more than ten princes, the world is too big and the title of the prince must not be enough. In the end, it will inevitably be necessary to enfeoff a large number of nobles with lords to govern overseas and the West. This is the only feasible way!"

"It's good, it must be!"

"Mr. Zhang is very talented, so that can explain it!"

"It seems that I'm just a false alarm!"

Zhao Hai and others were excited and their eyes shone. The depression and anxiety in their hearts were instantly swept away, and their spirits were refreshed.

"Since Mr. Zhang said that Lu Xiao would definitely surrender, I will be relieved. If there are really a lord and princes in the Lord's Act, then everything will be done according to the plan. I will inform Qi Dangshen Gongyan and others about this matter later, so as to dispel their doubts. Let the third brother talk about it!" Zhao Hai began to arrange the task.

"Okay!" Zhao Bing nodded.

"Mr. Marquis must not be careless. It is best to speed up the pace of winning over Lu Xiao, so as not to have too many dreams. Since he still has family property, it is best to add a fire to him, take off the firewood from the cauldron and completely deprive his family property, and then apply for it. Only when he completely surrenders to the Marquis' planning will be sufficiently sure!" Zhang Liang sat next to him while drinking tea.

"How to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot? Please teach me Mr. Zhang!" Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment and asked quickly.

"Liang heard that Lu Xiao was borrowing money everywhere and looking for someone to take over the land near Cuju Square in recent days. Now he is anxious to take action. Why don't the Marquis secretly use tricks? First, let the Marquis Wucheng and others come to collect debts, and then send someone to buy the land at a low price. Lu Xiao will definitely come to the chess and card room to make a profit. In this way, Lu Xiao will soon be spared from both people and money. At that time, the Marquis will come forward to protect and even redeem the land for him. Lu Xiao will definitely be grateful!"

"Not bad, Mr. Zhang is a perfect solution. Now that the Qinghe Marquis returns to the capital, many things must be more hidden. We should win over Lu Xiao as soon as possible to avoid the nights and dreams!" Zhao Jian and Chengdu nodded together, and Zhao Hai naturally agreed very much.

After some conspiracy, several people dispersed.
