Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
A piece of news from the Great Tang shocked many empires in the Nine Regions.
The Second Prince of the Great Tang, Li Shimin, was unwilling to be inferior to others and had started the Black Tortoise Sect.
He had personally killed his elder brother Li Jiancheng and his third brother Li Yuanji, as well as their entire family.
Soon after.
The Tang Emperor Li Yuan announced to the world that he had decided to abdicate.
Li Shimin officially ascended the throne and changed the year title to Zhenguan.
……
……
Northern Zhou.
In the encampment camp.
Zhao Kuangyin was sitting in the main tent, reading a letter.
On it was written the news of Li Shimin's ascension to the throne.
Zhao Kuangyin's expression was calm, but his heart was like a raging sea, and his eyes were burning with passion.
Three months ago.
Bei Zhou's Emperor Chai Rong died on the battlefield and appointed Zhao Kuangyin as an important minister and the Grand Marshal of the army.
From then on.
Zhao Kuangyin had absolute power in Bei Zhou and was only one step away from becoming the emperor.
"Li Shi Min is really a hero."
Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but sigh.
……
……
Big Ming.
The north wind howled in Yanzhou.
On the towering city wall, Prince of Yan Zhu Di stood facing the wind, his gaze as cold as a knife.
"Old monk, I heard that the Second Prince of the Great Tang, Li Shimin, has ascended the throne.”
Zhu Di looked at the vast desert in the distance outside the city. His voice was low but powerful.
Beside him stood an old monk in black linen clothes.
The monk's name was Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Di's chief strategist.
"Amitabha. The Second Prince of the Great Tang is bold and daring. Does Your Highness have the same intention?"
Yao Guangxiao put his palms together and advised earnestly.
Zhu Di smiled casually and teased,""Old monk, other than persuading me to rebel, do you have anything else to do?”
Yao Guangxiao also smiled knowingly." Your Highness is wise. You should take advantage of the right time and place to ascend the throne as soon as possible."”
Zhu Di didn't mind and just laughed it off. He said lightly,""The Crown Prince's status has long been determined. This Prince only wishes to protect the territory and calm the people.”
At this moment.
A guard came to Zhu Di with a flustered expression and said in a deep voice,"Wangye, bad news. His Highness the Crown Prince has passed away.”
" What?!"
Zhu Di's expression suddenly changed. A hint of surprise or sadness flashed across his slender eyes.
Yao Guangxiao's reaction was extremely sharp.
He took a step forward and smiled." Congratulations, Your Highness. The position of Crown Prince is vacant. Your Highness has a chance."”
Zhu Di glanced at the old monk. His expression was still calm, but his heart was in turmoil.
Just as Yao Guangxiao said.
This was a once-in-a-millennium opportunity.
Among the many vassal kings.
In terms of ability, in terms of brains, in terms of military affairs, no one could surpass Zhu Di.
Zhu Di secretly clenched his fists.
His wild ambition instantly drowned out his sorrow for his brother's death.
"This is a heaven-sent opportunity. This king must grasp it well!”
……
……
Great Qin.
Xianyang Palace.
When the news of Li Shimin's ascension to the throne came, Ying Zheng was having morning court with all the officials.
Hearing this news.
The officials in the hall were in an uproar.
Especially when they heard that Li Shiming had killed his brother and threatened his father, the scholars, led by Chunyu Yue, all frowned and cursed.
"In order to ascend to the throne, Li Shi Min disregarded his brotherhood.”
"He doesn't distinguish between human relations and is cruel and tyrannical. How is he worthy of being the emperor?”
"From this, we can see that the prefecture and county system is indeed not conducive to the stability of the country. It is easy to cause internal strife among brothers. The enfeoffment system is the most suitable system for the empire.”
"That's right, Your Majesty. Great Qin should restore the system of enfeoffment. As long as the princes have their own fiefs, there won't be any internal strife, and we won't repeat the Great Tang's mistakes.”
"Your Majesty, now is the best time to implement the enfeoffment system.”
The Confucian scholars pounded their chests and stood on the moral high ground to condemn Li Shimin.
However, as he spoke.
The atmosphere was a little off.
Quite a few Confucian scholars actually began to suggest the implementation of the enfeoffment system.
In the beginning, there were only a few. Gradually, more and more people supported the enfeoffment system.
Li Si, Wang Jian, Meng Yi, and the other ministers all frowned.
These pedantic scholars really didn't give up.
Whenever they had the chance, they would preach their old theories.
Ying Zheng, who was standing high up in the air, had an indifferent expression on his face, not paying any attention to the clown-like performance of the Confucian scholars.
He was already used to such a situation.
Compared to all these, Ying Zheng was even more surprised by Li Shiming's speed.
From the specific planning to the implementation process, to finally ascending to the throne, it only took half a month.
Li Shi Min was only twenty-eight years old, but he had such a strong ability. It was really rare.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng's eyes fell on his eldest son, Fusu.
Coincidentally.
Fu Su was already 28 years old.
However, there was a huge difference between him and Li Shi Min, who was the same age as him.
Sigh.
Ying Zheng sighed in his heart.
As a father, he decided to give Fu Su one last chance.
Thinking of this.
Ying Zheng looked straight at Fu Su and said slowly,""Fusu, do you think Great Qin should implement a system of prefectures and counties, or a system of enfeoffment?”
