In fact, if Fu Su and Huhai were to be graded.
In terms of personal ability and manners, Fusu could get around sixty points.
Huhai barely scored forty points.
However, Fu Su insisted on enfeoffment. In Brother Zheng's opinion, this was something that would shake the foundation of Great Qin.
And Huhai's personal ability and accomplishments were clearly not worthy of his position.
This was also the key factor that caused Brother Zheng to be indecisive.
No matter who took over the throne, Great Qin would definitely collapse.
One had to know that it was a big taboo for every dynasty not to establish a crown prince.
Brother Zheng wasn't a fool, so he naturally understood this logic.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had no choice, Brother Zheng wouldn't have waited until the last moment of his life to make his will.
In the end, Brother Zheng still chose Fu Su.
With Fusu's enfeoffment system, Great Qin might fall apart like the Zhou royal family in a few hundred years.
However, if Huhai took over, he might be able to destroy Great Qin while he was still in power.
Of course, in Big Brother Zheng's eyes, neither of them were qualified to take over Great Qin.
After all, the enfeoffment system was a matter that shook the foundation of Great Qin, so Brother Zheng did not make a decision so easily.
Even if Fu Su was the eldest son!
However, Zhao Che said that the enfeoffment system was easy to solve.
"How?" Brother Zheng frowned and looked at Zhao Che.
"A token of gratitude!" Zhao Che smiled.
"Well, the title of nobility is usually inherited by the eldest son. It's fine as long as all the descendants can inherit the title.”Zhao Che said with a smile.
"For example, if the original title of Marquis is inherited by three sons, then it will be divided into three great titles."
(Qin Dynasty titles: 1 Gongshi, 2 Shangzao, 3 Zanxiao, 4 Bugeng, 5 Da Fu, 6 Guan Da Fu, 7 Gongdafu, 8 Gongcheng, 9 Wu Da Fu, 10 Zuo Shu Chang, 11 You Shu Chang, 12 Zuo geng, 13 Zhong geng, 14 You geng, 15 Shao Shangzao, 16 Da Shangzao, 17 Si Che, 18 Da Shu Chang, 19 Guan Nei Hou, 20 Che Hou.）
Zhao Che said with a smile.
The Token of Grace was really a vicious trick!
And it was an open scheme!
According to the previous rules, only the eldest son could inherit the title.
As for the other brothers, they could only get a share of the family property at most.
For example, some illegitimate children did not even get much of the family property.
As for illegitimate children, they were even worse off. They might not even get a share of the family property, and their status was even lower than that of servants.
The famous Sage Kong was an illegitimate child, and the first half of his life had been difficult enough.
What was the most ruthless part of the token?
All the heirs could inherit the title and land.
So what if the nobles knew that this was the emperor's scheme?
In the face of benefits, even a father was unreliable, let alone a brother?
Moreover, there was no compulsory division of titles and fiefs. You could just have one child and do family planning.
It was just that in ancient times, the probability of newborns dying was a little higher, and it was a little more difficult to have children when they were old.
Brother Zheng was also a smart person. In an instant, he saw through the cleverness of the Token of Grace.
This was a piece of poisonous meat!
Most importantly, the nobles had to eat it.
A child who originally did not have the right to inherit the title would definitely want to inherit the title and the fief.
As for the emperor, he only needed to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
Even without the enfeoffment system, Great Qin could still use the Writ of Grace.
Great Qin's nobility could also be inherited.
Because of the system of military merits, a large number of nobles appeared in Great Qin.
Although it was no longer a system of enfeoffment and there was no fief, there were too many people with titles.
More importantly, Great Qin had been fighting for hundreds of years, and there were more or less people everywhere.
To put it bluntly, anyone who walked on the streets of Great Qin would have a Noble title.
The main reason was that Great Qin had been fighting for far too long, and there were far too many people who had contributed.
They definitely could not lose their titles; they had risked their lives for Great Qin.
But he could use the Token of Grace!
He just had to change it.
The titles were divided equally, and the more they were divided, the smaller they became!
Thinking up to here, Brother Zheng looked at Wang Jian strangely.
Right now, the person with the highest nobility rank in Great Qin was none other than Wang Jian.
The Battle of Chu had established Wang Jian as one of the Four Great Generals, and at the same time, he had become Great Qin's only Marquis.
Wang Ben was supposed to inherit the title.
As expected, Wang Jian was looking at Zhao Che with a hint of melancholy.
Wang Jian was not a fool. To put it bluntly, the Token of Grace was an overt scheme, and the meaning was also clear.
"Bad idea!"
As a person who had gained a lot of benefits, Wang Jian secretly cursed in his heart.
The ranks of nobility were getting smaller and smaller. In a few generations, the Wang family's marquis titles would probably be divided into middle and low ranks.
And if there were no outstanding talents emerging in the Wang Clan in the future, it would probably only be a matter of time before they fell.
Of course, Wang Jian only dared to curse in his heart.
I don't like this thing
But His Majesty likes it
And the key was that the Decree of Grace was not limited to dealing with enfeoffment.
To put it bluntly, there was no need to change the order at all. They could be used in Great Qin.
However, whoever came up with this idea would probably be stabbed every day.
