"The lover was reluctant to let the son of Fusu go to Qiongya, but he didn't pity the three sons at all, and sent them directly to Lingnan."

Seeing that the New Year is getting closer and closer, the matter of establishing a monarch has become a hot spot in the focus of the government and the opposition, and Ye Zijin can't help but care.

But what is surprising is that the three princes who are most likely to inherit the throne were deprived of their wealth privileges by Heifu in accordance with the "Clan Law" established by Shang Ying, "the son without merit is also a concubine", and was thrown directly to Lingnan, nominally to be the "lord of the city", but in fact exiled.

"If the First Emperor had listened to my advice, he would have gone to the border more than ten years ago, but now it is just a little late."

Heifu felt that he was generous enough to the three sons, so he asked Ye Zijin to sit next to him and talk about a past incident.

"At that time, the world had just been unified, and the first emperor ordered the ministers to agree on the pros and cons of feudalism and counties.

At that time, Heifu told Qin Shi Huang about his experience of the southern expedition to Yuzhang:

"From Xianyang to Yuzhang and Changsha, there are many forests and swamps, and the roads are dangerous, at least two months, and most in March, so it is difficult to inform the imperial court."

"Lingnan is farther away, and another month will be added, and the government documents are still like this, and the private trade exchanges, one back and forth, a year has passed."

How much the empire's frontier can expand is determined by the distance of transportation, with the road conditions of this era, the speed of carriages and horses, even if there are galloping roads and spiritual canal bonuses, Lingnan is far beyond the scope of Qin's national radiation, whether it is conquest or domination, it will have to pay a huge price.

"In addition to the long distance and the inability to convey the imperial decrees in time, the south is also dominated by the Yue people and barbarians, and there is a lack of household and people, so it is impossible to collect taxes at all. Even if a nominal county is set up, in fact there are no people to predict and no land to govern......"

"I suggested at the beginning that instead of vacating the county, it is better to make the princes town. He was made a border marquis, so that he led the people to migrate, ruled the barbarians and the Yue people, and slowly promoted the education, and changed the Xia into Yi. ”

It was only vetoed by the First Emperor.

"I was originally bitter and kind, but the First Emperor was not very happy to hear it."

As he spoke, Heifu straightened his face, pulled his beard, raised his eyebrows, and lowered his voice, imitating the tone of the First Emperor's speech:

"Heifu, you want to use my sons as border county orders, and you also wrote that Jiangnan is very hot and has the disease of water Gu. The princes grew up in the north, with fine clothes and food, and suddenly entered the wilderness, I am afraid that before they arrived at the place, they have contracted the disease and died! ”

Ye Zijin only felt funny: "The lover only needs to paint his face, and he can go to the stage to play the first emperor......"

It turned out that after Heifu asked his uncle and grandson to revise the history books and reveal the "truth" before and after the collapse of the First Emperor to the people of the world, he still wanted to make this paragraph into a hundred plays and show it to the people of Guanzhong, but unfortunately they encountered a big problem:

No one dared to play Qin Shi Huang.

In the minds of the people of Guanzhong, the First Emperor is still a god-like existence, although this god is not very close to the people and not very friendly, let alone playing, it is simply blasphemy.

So the scene was shelved indefinitely......

"I can't pretend to be good."

Heifu continued: "I was only willing to make promises at the time, and I didn't dare to speak, but I secretly said in my heart, Your Majesty has more than ten children, but there are few capable people. ”

It also makes people see that the sons of the first emperor were all sent to build the frontier, and the common people who were forcibly relocated had fewer complaints.

However, the First Emperor had made up his mind to implement the same system as the central government no matter where he was, and as a result, the Qin system was somewhat unsuitable in the eastern part of the country, and it was even more complicated and useless when put on the frontier......

"Now Yuzhang and Changsha are gradually getting richer, slightly better than in the past. But the land of Lingnan is still a wilderness, like a county, Fujian and Zhong, but it is vacant, for the first emperor to make up the whole number of 6 he likes, in fact, only one or two cities, only equivalent to a county. ”

"In the past two years, I have relied on the Lingnan army to relocate the people back to the Central Plains, promising to bring them back to their hometowns and transfer them to the north in batches. At present, there are less than 100,000 soldiers and civilians left in Lingnan, which are guarded by Gongao, except for Panyu, Guilin and other big cities, most of the remaining small counties have given up and left their land vacant, and the Yue people have slowly returned to various places, and if this continues, this battle will be ......fought in vain."

Politics needs ideals, but it also needs to take into account reality, the population of the Central Plains is too small, there were 30 million at the time of the first emperor, and now it is less than that. The forced immigration has failed, and after the reunification in the future, the empire needs to look inward, take care of the diseases in the heart, and first completely unify the Zhuxia before it can expand outward.

This also means that it is basically impossible for Heifu to carry out large-scale immigration to Lingnan during his lifetime......

"Instead of making the vacant land cheaper for the Manyue Tusi, it is better to give it to the heroes, Guangshu Bianhou, each leading a county, imitating the story of the Zhou Dynasty, using Xia Jun to rule the people, and finally changing Xia to Yi."

Even if it takes a hundred years, two hundred years, it is faster than in history.

The implementation of counties and counties within Kyushu, and the Lingnan, Haidong, and Western Regions outside Kyushu, the imperial court was difficult to radiate, and could not bear to abandon them, so they carried out small-scale subdivision, so as to save administrative costs, which was the "one country, two systems" proposed by Heifu back then.

"Would you like the heroes?" Ye Zijin was worried about this.

Heifu was not only worried: "In Kyushu, the Marquis of Che is only a false seal, but if you want to be a border marquis, it is a real seal." You can make your own fiefdom and make your own decisions, and you don't need to pay taxes to the imperial court, and you can pay a small amount of tribute. When the battle is over, I will take credit for it, and I will seal him dozens or hundreds of marquis in one go, and there are always people here who are willing to ......."

As for what can be done, whether it will die at the hands of barbarians or grow and expand outward, it depends on their ability.

And these three sons are just the first batch of experiments in the Black Husband's plan.

When the first emperor was there, he was reluctant to let his son fill in the border, but Heifu was willing!

Jianglu, Jiangchen, Jiangye, three Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi, all threw them on the edge of the rainforest, in an empty small town after the evacuation of the Southern Expeditionary Army.

They have to endure the hot climate, raging diseases, deal with the Yue people, and will be surrounded by the territory of the border marquis in the future, even if they don't get sick and die, and are attacked and killed by the Yue people, it is enough to be trapped there for generations and never come back.

So the question comes back:

"The three sons are gone, so who can be the emperor?"

"It can't be a child?" Ye Zijin joked.

"There is no chance for a child." Hefu is still very wary of this person:

"I have been suppressed by the First Emperor for more than ten years, although I can occasionally listen to my advice, but most of the time, I still don't need to listen to him, I have to follow his preferences."

He's the hunter, and Hefu is just a hound.

"Now, it's my turn to be the hunter and direct the pack of dogs to hunt."

"Moreover, I only found out after raising troops in Nanjun."

"There is no one above you to point fingers at you, and you can do everything you want to do."

It was so comfortable!

Why does he want to put an uncle on his head?

"Besides, the Six Kingdoms still have a fresh memory of the First Emperor's conquest and tyranny, and they may not accept another Qin Jun surnamed Ying......"

Ye Zijin was stunned and asked in a low voice: "Then, the beloved wants to take it for himself?" ”

Hefu shook his head:

"The shoulders are not ripe."

"In the next period of time, the world will usher in a period of days when there will be no emperor."

An empire without an emperor.

It's like a kingdom without a king – Franco's Spain.

"There is only one lifelong regent left!"

He remembered that many years ago, when he saw Qin Shi Huang's car in Huaiyang, when Heifu said a word.

"If you want to wear its crown, bear its weight first!"

In a word, now, the weight of half of the world has been carried on the shoulders of Heifu.

Heifu smiled:

"An uncrowned king! Su Wang! ”

……

The era of Qin Shi Huang finally came to an end in the thirty-eighth year.

"The Duke of Zhou was afraid that the world would hear that King Wu would collapse, but he became the regent of the king of the Yan Dynasty, and the regent was in charge for seven years, and the world was under great rule."

"King Zhou Li is dead, and there is a co-uncle who will take charge of the Son of Heaven, and he will be regent for 14 years, and the world will be restored."

"The first emperor collapsed, the rebel son plotted to usurp, the Kanto region rebelled, fortunately, Wuzhong Hou Jing was difficult to relent. The sons and daughters of the emperor are not filial, and it is difficult to continue the great cause and rule the world again. Therefore, the throne of Emperor Daqin will be empty, with the Marquis of Wuzhong as the duke, following the example of Yiyin, Zhou Gongdan, Gongbo and affairs, and practicing the regent of the country! ”

"Tomorrow is the first year of regency!"

Politics is the art of compromise, and this unique form of government is the product of compromise after considering the acceptance of the new and old Qin people.

The Imperial History Mansion, which was temporarily replaced by Zhou Qingchen, promulgated this news that shocked the world, and Shaofu Zhang Cang, Zhisu Neishi Xiao He, Fengchang Lu Jia, Taishi Shusun Tong, etc., took hundreds of subordinates and Confucian scholars to ask Heifu to add the throne.

"The Son of Heaven is a minister! Marquis Wuzhong has made great contributions to the dynasty and becomes a prince of Jinjue! ”

Heifu let it go three times, and then pushed the boat to allow it.

In order to show respect for the rest of the marquis, above the twentieth rank of the marquis, add a "duke", which was the first of the fifth rank of the old Zhou Dynasty, in fact, only the Song State and the Son of Heaven can get this honor, Lu, Wei, Qi and other large countries are all marquis, and the Qin State was originally just a mere country.

As for the official name, it generally depends on the chosen fief, Lu Jia and they proposed that Heifu directly cut a county as a fief, but Heifu vetoed it, and only chose one county as a fief.

Some people proposed to set the fief at "Deng", and some people proposed to directly use Luoyang County as a fief and call Zhou Gong.

"Deng can't." Heifu's head shook like a rattle, and Zhou was not right.

He squinted and searched the map for a long time, looking at the counties one by one, and couldn't help complaining:

"My Daqin territory is so vast, I can't find a place called 'Bao'!?"
