The four hundred and tenth chapter of the proposal (1)

That night, Xuezheng Baili Tong held Han Fei's memorial in his hand and asked to meet the King of Qin.

In the partial hall of Xianyang Palace, there was no such saying as King Wen of Shang or King Wu of Zhou in the Shang Dynasty. In history, Pan Geng, who realized the revival of the Shang Dynasty, only the title of King Pan Geng was the Shang King.

Meng Tian had some conjectures about what kind of motives Ying Zheng abolished the posthumous law.

After King Zhuangxiang of Qin passed away, Ying Zheng succeeded to the throne at the age of thirteen. He witnessed the ministers' appointment of posthumous titles by Lu Buwei, and the ministers were in a rush and endless discussions, and he wanted to suppress the rebellion of Yi Ren's life.

At that time, no one took the little Ying Zheng seriously, which made Ying Zheng very unhappy.

Ying Zheng's character is tenacious and resolute, confident and conceited, and he is absolutely unacceptable. After the death of immortality, his ministers politely discussed him.

No matter what, Ying Zheng wanted to be the emperor and abolish the posthumous law, and his ministers were not particularly concerned about it.

It used to be called the King, but later it was called the Emperor, but it was changed to another title. It was no different if the person was still the same person. After Ying Zheng passed away, there was no need to discuss the posthumous title, and the funeral would be simplified.

There is Ying Zheng's prestige. As long as the things he decided were not particularly outrageous, no one would stand up and object to the point of opposition.

What the ministers and generals are concerned about is how the ministers should reward merits after the emperor's title is determined.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Although Wang Wan was old, she changed her mouth very quickly, and the title of Your Majesty was not stagnant.

"What do you mean by the Prime Minister?"

Ying Zheng looked very happy with a slight smile on his face.

"Your Majesty is the emperor and rich in the world. As the princes, he must be worthy of his own life. Now that the princes have first been defeated, Yan, Qi, and Jing are far away, and the people are fierce. If they do not place a king, they will not be able to suppress him. Please make the sons kings, but the best wishes are for you."

Wang Wan had written a letter to Ying Zheng earlier, proposing to confer the title of princes of Qin as kings and to take charge of the old lands of the princes. Now that Wang Wan proposed it again at the court meeting, Ying Zheng was not surprised.

Among the ministers, there are many people who advocate enfeoffing the sons as kings, and Wang Wan is just a representative of high and powerful positions.

Swish swish swish-

Everyone's eyes turned to Wang Wan, and then they looked at the throne in the hall with anticipation.

"The Qin army headed east to the six countries and annexed the world, and it was up to the ministers to plan in the middle. The generals wore strong and held sharp edges to attack and destroy the Warring States Period in Shandong. My sons were born in the Qin Palace and grew up in Xianyang. They had no achievements in size. Fortunately, they were born in a royal family and were named the princes. I feel guilty."

Ying Zheng raised the wine cup in his hand and toasted everyone with a glass of wine. Few people could hear Ying Zheng’s true meaning when he said this. Most people only thought that Ying Zheng needed to be humble.

The Confucian scholars who insisted on the existence of the ritual of abdication were even more versatile.

In the huge hall, only two people understood Ying Zheng’s thoughts. One was Meng Tian and the other was Li Si.
