Thanks to user Zhu for his reward! This week's business trip, I have returned today, and it is updated normally.

*******

Ying Zheng will not forget that his ability to defeat the Lao Ai rebellion and regain power from Lu Buwei is inseparable from the support of the army.

Back then, the two major generals in the Qin army, Wang and Meng, stood firmly with him.

This time, no matter what you think deep down, Wang Jian still expressed his support for Ying Zheng on the surface.

Ying Zheng's eyes looked at Meng Tian, ​​who had never expressed anything, and his mind was a little confused.

Meng Tian is even younger, unlike the old and cautious Wang Jian.

Feeling the eyes of everyone, Meng Tian looked around slightly and frowned slightly.

The enfeoffment of the sons as kings?

This question is not easy to answer at all.

Support will cause Ying Zheng's displeasure.

If you don’t support it, you will inevitably offend most court officials, as well as princes who want to become princes.

"I don't know how to answer Your Majesty's question."

Meng Tian raised his hand and bowed, "But, please show your Majesty a game."

“What game?”

Ying Zheng didn't expect that Meng Tian would give such an answer.

At the same time, the ministers in the hall were also curious: What kind of game does Meng Tian want to show?

"I ask Your Majesty to call you a singyou, and I will naturally show it to Your Majesty." Meng Tian smiled slightly.

In the palace, there are many talented people who are proactive in juggling and telling jokes for their careers, and they are enjoying themselves. Ying Zheng was curious and wanted to see what games Meng Tian wanted to play.

The issue of ceasing was discussed just now, and the atmosphere above the hall was a bit tense.

Meng Tian proposed to let the Chanyou come and attract the attention of the ministers. The tense atmosphere dissipated a lot.

After a while, a short, fat man less than five feet, entered the hall under the guidance of the eunuch. The man was not ordinary in size, a little shorter than the famous Chinese short man Wu Dalang. If he hadn't had a relatively mature face and a few sparse strands of long beards, he would have thought that this man was just a child.

Youzhan entered the hall, looked left and right, Shi Shiran walked ten steps away from Ying Zheng, and bowed his hands: "Your Majesty asked Youzhan to come, but what funny jokes do you want to hear?"

Youzhan has been in the Qin Palace for five years and is very familiar with the eunuchs and guards in the palace. Before coming in, the guards reminded him of the situation in the palace.

"Youzhan, I asked you to cooperate with Meng Aiqing and play a game."

Ying Zheng pointed at Meng Tian.

"What game does General Meng want to play?"

Youzhan turned around and looked at Meng Tian, ​​who was wearing a black court suit and a crown on his head.

Meng Tian led troops abroad all year round and rarely returned to Xianyang. Youzhan had heard of Meng Tian's name, but he had never heard of it. Meng Tian liked to play funny games.

"It's a very simple game." Meng Tian smiled, "I'll tell you an animal, you can use a tree to make a loud sound twenty times, and then answer one of my questions."

A trace of doubt flashed in Youzhan's eyes, and he didn't understand Meng Tian's intention. However, Meng Tian asked him to come, just to cooperate, and it was a verbal game, so there was no danger.

Thinking of this, Youzhan nodded slightly.

"I wonder what animal General Meng asked Youzhan to count?"

"mouse."

"mouse?"

Everyone in the hall frowned tightly, thinking in their hearts: Is there anything special about rats?

Youzhan put aside his distracting thoughts, took a step back, took a deep breath, and began to chant loudly: "Rat, rat, rat..."

After a few breaths, Youzhan finished reciting the mouse twenty-one times.

"What are dogs afraid of?"

Youzhan had just finished reciting, and Meng Tian asked sternly.

"Rat." Yuzhan replied subconsciously.

"Puchi--" A disharmonious laughter came from the hall, "How come dogs are afraid of mice?"

Yuzhan quickly reacted and smiled disapprovingly.

As an advocate for excellence, it makes people laugh and serves for the people of the court, it is the responsibility of advocating excellence.

Meng Tian nodded slightly and apologized to Youzhan. Today, he did not intend to make Youzhan ugly.

Ying Zheng did not laugh, but frowned slightly, thinking about something.

······

The enfeoffment of the sons as kings was still in the county. With such a major memorial, a court meeting could not discuss a definite result.

After the court meeting, just walked down the steps of Xianyang Palace, an eunuch quietly grabbed Meng Tian.

"General Meng, Your Majesty sends you to the apex to discuss matters."

Following the eunuch, he rushed to the back hall of Xianyang Palace. He saw that Ying Zheng had already taken off his crown, replaced his generous and complicated royal clothes, and put on simple casual clothes.

"Your Majesty." Meng Tian felt a little dissatisfied with Ying Zheng and quickly said hello.

"Meng Tian, ​​do you support the Prime Minister's memorial?" Ying Zheng asked coldly.

The palace maids and eunuchs in the back hall had already avoided them from afar, leaving only Ying Zheng and Meng Tian.

"Your Majesty, what does this mean?" Meng Tian said.

"You asked Youzhan to play the game of counting rats. When Youzhan replied that dogs are afraid of rats, I know what you want to say."

Ying Zheng was the emperor and usually called me, but in private, he still casually called himself "me".

"Tell me, what do you think in your heart?"

Meng Tian faced Ying Zheng's gaze and was dissatisfied with him, but more confused. In the early years, the two of them, together with Jian, talked about the idea of ​​annexing the world and ending the war.

Ying Zheng thought that Meng Tian would understand him and would not enfeoff the throne again.

"Your Majesty, I think that if you want to end the war, traveling to counties is the best solution."

Meng Tian knew in his heart that the county system represented the direction of history. After the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the vassal states were divided, and Liu Zongyuan wrote "On the Feudalism", which completely ended the Chinese debate on feudalism and counties.

Only the county system can be in line with China's reality of achieving unity.

"However, people's thoughts and ideas have great inertia. Just like a carriage driving at high speed, if you want to turn, you cannot turn too fast. Since the feudal period of King Wu, people have been accustomed to feudalism in their minds for thousands of years. Sudden changes are afraid they cannot accept them for a while. This is the power of inertia."

Meng Tian expressed her worries.

After the Qin State annexed the world, the abolition of feudal divisions and the thorough implementation of the county system was tantamount to a revolution, and the complete laying of the pattern of Chinese historical and political.

Such revolutions are only comparable to those of the people's revolution in later generations. Grandpa Mao claimed to be Qin Shihuang, and from the perspective of revolution, he did have his own reasons.

"The people cannot start with worrying about it, but can be successful. I abolish the feudal divisions and run counties, and do not allow all countries to coexist, and fight endlessly. The head of Guizhou does not understand my painstaking efforts, and I do not need the head of Guizhou to understand." Ying Zheng snorted coldly.

Meng Tian smiled bitterly in her heart.

Ying Zheng thought that as long as there were no nations, there would be no war in the world. How could he understand that although the six countries in Shandong were gone, the entire generation of Shandong people still existed for many years.

It was not until a hundred years later that the people in China gradually forgot the national memory of the Warring States Period.

"How can I not understand your Majesty's painstaking efforts?"

Meng Tian couldn't tell Ying Zheng that after you die, the remnants of the six Shandong countries will be ready to jump out and want to restore the country.

"Your Majesty is still clear about the past when Qin State destroyed Shu?"
