The courtiers looked down upon Li Shui's explanation, thinking that this guy was making arrogant excuses again.

Li Si twisted his beard and smiled and said: "The one who is pure will be the one who is pure. I believe you all can decide for yourself who plagiarized whom. There is no need to argue with each other. If Mr. Huai really likes this title of first-class first, I will let you know."

There is nothing wrong with coming out. If Lord Huai wants a reward of a thousand gold coins, I can give it to you with both hands."

The courtiers were all impressed by Li Si's high moral integrity. When they looked at Li Shui again, their contempt became even stronger.

Li Shui rolled his eyes and thought to himself: "Li Si, this guy is really treacherous. On the surface, he doesn't care, but inside and outside his words, there is a hint that I am not as knowledgeable as you."

Li Shui said calmly: "Master Li, there is no need to give up the reward. After a while, I will make you convinced."

Li Si chuckled and said, "Then I'm all ears."

Li Shui opened the bamboo slips, carefully examined them for a while, and finally recognized the fourth item. Then he said with great confidence: "My fourth item is to oppose Dr. Chun Yuyue's suggestion of enfeoffing the princes."

Chunyu Yue was stunned and said unhappily: "Master Huai, I just reprimanded you a few times. You should not take revenge for personal gain and deliberately attack me."

Li Shui sneered.

The courtiers all looked at Chunyu Yue with sympathy.

Ying Zheng asked Li Shui calmly: "Why do you oppose enfeoffment? What is the reason?"

Li Shui said loudly: "Since the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the princes have been fighting for hegemony, and the war in the Central Plains has continued for more than five hundred years. The people have been displaced and their lives have been devastated. May I ask you, why is this?"

When Li Shui asked this question, his eyes were fixed on Chun Yuyue. This question was obviously prepared for Chun Yuyue.

Chunyu Yue had no choice but to reply: "Because the rites and music have collapsed, the outlines are often cut off. The king is not a king, and the ministers are not ministers. The father is not a father, and the son is not a son. Therefore, no one respects the emperor, and the princes are doing their own affairs."

Chun Yuyue answered this question without any pressure. After finishing speaking, Nian Xu smiled.

Li Shui sneered and said, "Fart, that's nonsense."

Chunyu Yue was so angry that he almost fainted: "Master Huai, this is the political hall. How can you be so rude and humiliate the minister in front of the court?"

Ying Zheng said calmly: "Huai Guzi, if you speak rudely again, I will punish you."

Li Shui saluted Ying Zheng and said, "I heard some people talking nonsense, and then thought about the suffering that countless people have suffered, so I can't bear it."

"I believe that the hundreds of years of war in the Eastern Friday Dynasty were all caused by feudalism. King Wu defeated Zhou and conquered the world in one fell swoop. Then he enfeoffed the children of the heroes. At the beginning, the princes were close, but after several generations, the blood relationship gradually became alienated, so that

Attack each other like enemies."

"When the emperor is strong, he can still suppress it. Once his strength is damaged, the princes will take the opportunity to rise up, annex territory, and plunder the population. There will no longer be peace in the world."

Chun Yuyue's face turned pale, and his lips kept trembling, as if he wanted to speak, but couldn't.

Confucius believed in the Rites of Zhou and wanted to return to the Zhou Dynasty. The Emperor of Zhou sat in the center, and eight hundred princes guarded the surroundings. The king is the king, and the ministers are ministers. The nobles work hard, and the common people work hard. Everyone performs his duties and does what he wants. The world is stable.

, it’s fun.

Chunyu Yue received such education since he was a child, and this view has been deeply rooted in his heart.

Suddenly Li Shui came up with another set of ideas, saying that the hundreds of years of war in the Eastern Friday Dynasty were caused by King Wu of Zhou's enfeoffment.

This caused Chun Yuyue's worldview to collapse. He subconsciously wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to start.

Li Shui glanced at Chunyu Yue and thought: "Because you are Li Xin's brother-in-law, I didn't beat you up as a rebel, so you don't need to thank me."

Li Si smiled slightly and said: "Master Huai's words are quite reasonable. I agree."

This is not the first day that Li Si, Chun Yu Yue, and Wang Ben have competed with each other in the court. Seeing that Chun Yu Yue was suffering, Li Si did not mind taking advantage of the situation.

As for his speech helping Li Shui, he didn't mind. Li Shui was too junior and had offended too many people. Such people would not pose a threat to him.

Thinking of this, Li Si continued to talk: "Before the Qin Dynasty unified the world, we had already implemented the system of prefectures and counties in our own country. After unifying the four seas, we also tried to implement prefectures and counties in the six countries. In my opinion, these prefectures and counties

, can be passed down and made into custom-made ones. From now on, the world will have no different intentions and will be able to enjoy long-term peace and stability."

Li Shui chuckled: "That's nonsense."

Li Si felt a little pain in his heart: "Why is this person so ungrateful? I'm speaking for you, but you say I'm talking nonsense?"

Li Shui said with a smile: "I just said that I opposed enfeoffment, and Mr. Li just followed my wishes and said that he wanted to run counties and counties. Is this plagiarising me?"

Li was speechless for a moment: "This is too vindictive. Are you calling me nonsense just because I disparaged you just now?"

Li Shui holds a grudge, but in fact Li Si is not a big-hearted person.

At that time, because Li Si was jealous of talents and talents, he framed Han Feizi and caused a generation of famous Legalists to die in prison. This person's ambition is evident from this.

Seeing Li Shui talking nonsense, Li Si was also a little unhappy. He sneered and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Huai, why can't you go to the county? You don't want to treat people wrongly and talk nonsense in the court."

Li Shui rolled his eyes and said, "Master Li also said just now that the country is now running prefectures and counties on a trial basis. If the system of prefectures and counties is perfect, do we still need to discuss here how to stabilize the world?"

Li Si opened his mouth and was a little speechless.

Li Shui continued: "The Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, which lasted for thousands of years, all had the shadow of enfeoffment. The people of the world have long been accustomed to enfeoffment. The powerful powers in various places also recognize the enfeoffment from the bottom of their hearts."

"Although the Qin Dynasty has unified the world now, it is a military unification, not a conceptual unification. Many people, especially the nobles of the six countries, miss their homeland and never forget to return to the era when the princes stood side by side."

"Now they don't dare to make any changes. But if the world changes one day, they will definitely swarm up. By then, there will be wars and smoke everywhere."

"Guess, there is no Prince of Da Qin to guard. Will the county magistrates and governors fight to the death? Or will they surrender to the nobles of the six countries in exchange for higher official positions?"

Ying Zheng was a little frightened when he heard this. He is a monarch and has a longer-term vision than others. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that what Li Shui said was very possible.

At this time, Wang Ben chuckled: "Lord Huai is really interesting. He opposes both enfeoffment and the administration of counties. So what should you do?"

Everyone looked at Huaiguzi with glaring eyes, and thought with gloating: "Yes, you were very happy with scolding people just now. You scolded anyone who didn't deal with you. It's typical to treat people wrongly. Now, all the ways

It's blocked, let me see how you go."

Li Shui bowed his hand to Ying Zheng and said loudly: "My lord, please implement the parallel system of prefectures and states. There are both prefectures and counties, and there are princes. The prefectures and the states are intertwined."

"In this way, the princes guard all sides, and it will be even more difficult for the nobles of the six countries to rebel. And there are counties and counties between the princes and countries, which also strengthens the emperor's control over the world."

Li Si sneered and said: "What if, as time goes by, the princes become stronger and want to rebel? What should we do? Isn't this back to the shortcomings of enfeoffment?"

Li Shui said: "So, we must implement the second strategy, which is called the grace system."

"The princes, regardless of their direct concubines, all have the right to inherit the feudal kingdom. Therefore, after the old princes die, the new princes will divide their land. In this way, after several generations, the feudal kingdom will become smaller and smaller, and finally

They are no different from ordinary wealthy households and are all placed under the control of counties."

"And by that time, the world will have recognized Da Qin and China as a unified dynasty. The people will be united and there will be no need to worry about splitting."

The courtiers were silent. Someone next to them muttered: "Why didn't I think of this?"

Li Shui secretly laughed in his heart: "You can imagine that there is something wrong with it. This is a method that several generations of emperors in the Western Han Dynasty learned through bloody lessons."
