Zhou Chong said bluntly, "The King, in the opinion of Zhou Chong, it is an unwise move to imitate King Wu of Zhou to enfeoff. The King of Zhou understood the original reason, so Zhou Chong would not say much.

"There is nothing more than the comfort of the heroes. The heroes have made great contributions. If their merits cannot be recognized and rewarded, what is cold is not only the hearts of the heroes, but also the hearts of the scholars in the world.

The world is hustle and bustle, all for profit. If the hearts of scholars are cold, then scholars will have no intention of being born, which is like a person who has no brothers and feet and is difficult to act. The king is wise and wise, it is probably difficult to do anything."

The King of Qin nodded and said, "Yes, it is precisely because of this that I have been unable to make a decision.

Since I ascended the throne, I have fought in the world, wiped out the six kingdoms, pacified the Baiyue, defeated the Xiongnu, and decided to kill and attacked me with just one thought, but this matter has made me unable to make up my mind.

"If there is a way to appease the heroes, I am determined to adopt Mr. Zhou's suggestion, abolish the feudal division, and establish counties. But after thinking hard for a long time, I can't find a good way to appease the heroes."

Zhou Chong said: "Master, Zhou Chong has a plan to calm the hearts of heroes."

"Oh, Mr. Zhou, tell me quickly." The King of Qin was very anxious.

Zhou Chong responded and said, "Master, please forgive Zhou Chong's courage.

Zhou Chong thought that since Zhou Chong followed, he had split the Chu State, so that the king had no worries and focused on advancing eastward. This was the first achievement of Zhou Chong. After destroying Han, he prepared to destroy Zhao and weakened Zhao State, which was the second achievement of Zhou Chong; in the battle to destroy Zhao, Zhou Chong took Handan, defeated Sima Shang, and Zhou Chong's third achievement; destroyed Qi Zhou Chong's fourth achievement; pacifying Chu State, Zhou Chong's fifth achievement; building a strategy to open a channel to lay the foundation for pacifying Baiyue, and Zhou Chong's sixth achievement.

"Zhou Chong's ability to achieve success depends entirely on the wise and wise kings. Zhou Chong promoted him among merchants. Although Zhou Chong's achievements were small, there were only Mr. Liaozi, General Wang Jian, and General Meng Wu in the court. "

The King of Qin nodded and agreed: "Mr. Zhou has great achievements, and I understand this in my heart. What's even more rare is that Zhou Chong's humble person is not proud of his meritorious service, and the first one is not to interfere in the vassal.

This comforts me, and what comforts me the most is that Mr. Zhou also suggested that I abolish the throne and establish counties and counties, and that I am selfless, which really makes me admire me! Unlike some people, if they make some contributions, they will jump up and down, and they will be determined to make a fortune. It makes me sad."

Zhou Chong said, "Thank you the King of Kings to praise you. Kings, Zhou Chong thought that he would not speak out, so he asked the Kings to start with Zhou Chong and remove Zhou Chong's merits. Zhou Chong thought that as long as Zhou Chong did not receive the merits, the other meritorious officials would not say anything else."

"What you mean is that you want me to punish you for deceiving the king, and you will get two merits and demerits?" asked the King of Qin: "This is absolutely not allowed. First, you are pretending to be sick not out of selfishness, but waiting for the opportunity to take action.

I know more than anyone else about this, how can I punish you for deceiving the king? Besides, you are the great hero of my great Qin. If I take away your merits with this matter, wouldn’t the ministers say that I rewarded and punished me unfairly?"

Zhou Chong explained, saying, "Thank you, the king, will not pursue Zhou Chong's crime of bullying the king! Zhou Chong meant that, please allow Zhou Chong to resign from his merits, please think about it.

Zhou Chong doesn’t want fame, what else can others say? Those ministers who are determined to be a tribunal must shut up and never dare to speak again. The pressure on the king to abolish the tribunal will be reduced a lot."

This idea was indeed good, but the King of Qin was not grateful. He looked down and shouted: "Zhou Chong, you are so brave. You are just trying to let me let you go, right? You have a lot of plans.

Once the pick is dropped, I will leave. I will discuss it with you at that time, so I can’t find it. This is not OK.”

Zhou Chong's every move has a modern atmosphere, and the King of Qin has a sense of smell and treats Zhou Chong as a source of inspiration. Once Zhou Chong retires, he may lose the source of inspiration, so he is of course reluctant to let him go.

Zhou Chong was also moved by the King of Qin's actions and further explained: "King, Zhou Chong just didn't want fame and fortune, and did not leave the emperor. Zhou Chong heard that "the big is hidden in the court, the middle is hidden in the city, and the small is hidden in the forest." Zhou Chong's relationship has not yet been broken and he will not be a hermit, but just wanted to take the opportunity to recuperate and stay with his beloved in Xianyang.

If the king thought of Zhou Chong while he was busy with government affairs, Zhou Chong could also talk to the king. “

He did not agree immediately. After thinking for a while, the King of Qin sighed: "Mr. Zhou is so righteous, I am moved. It's just that you have made such great contributions to the Qin Dynasty, and I don't appreciate you, so I feel so wronged."

Zhou Chong was willing to avoid fame and fortune, and had two main plans. One was to help the Qin King abolish the feudal division, establish counties, and benefit future generations.

Another thing is to take the opportunity to get out. After fighting for several years of local war, I was really too tired. I wanted to have a good rest. More importantly, I no longer handle government affairs. He could run schools and implant modern civilization into the Qin Dynasty as soon as possible is more important than anything else.

To do this, you have to transfer your energy, avoid fame and fortune, and ignore political affairs.

"Zhou Chong remembers the favor of the king in his heart.

"Zhou Chong came out of his opinion and said, "Your Majesty, please look at Zhou Chong. Mr. Liaozi, Zhang Liang, Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Gan Luo and others have plans to not be appointed as marquis. Zhou Chong wanted to ask the king for an errand, and asked the king to allow him to do so."

The King of Qin said excitedly: "Mr. Zhou, please speak."

Zhou Chong said bluntly: "Master, Zhou Chong wants to convince Mr. Liaozi and others to resign from his fame and fortune like Zhou Chong. In this way, the ministers in the court will inevitably keep silent and dare not speak out again. It is natural for the king to abolish the feudal."

Wei Liao and Zhang Liang all have great achievements. If you really don’t have fame and fortune, it will be useless for Ying Ning and others to make trouble. If you want to abolish the ceasing, you will naturally lose a lot of pressure.

The King of Qin nodded and said, "The idea is good, but so many heroes suddenly don't want fame and reputation. This is not reasonable. Those who understand the truth know that Mr. Liaozi and his country are loyal and do not want fame and reputation.

Those who don’t understand the truth will inevitably talk behind their backs, saying that I am reluctant to give up on them and force them to quit their fame. This is so bad.”

Zhou Chong said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Zhou Chong will hold a joint stamp with Mr. Liaozi."

"It's good, it's just that you're so wronged." The King of Qin was very reluctant.

Zhou Chong advised: "The king does not need to care. If you benefit the life and death of the country, Mr. Liaozi is a master of the world. The reason why he followed the world and helped the king fight the world was entirely because the people were suffering from the warring country and could not bear it, not because of fame and fortune."

The King of Qin had tears in his eyes and said, "I am impressed by Mr. Zhou's noble righteousness, and I cannot repay you. Please accept my prayer." He bowed to Zhou Chong.

Zhou Chong did not dare to accept his tribute, so he quickly moved away and said, "Master, you are destroying me, Zhou Chong. This is not enough, this can only reduce the current pressure.

Rewarding meritorious officials is not only needed now, but also in the future. This problem must be solved."

"Yes, Mr. Zhou's words hit the nail on the head.

Rewarding meritorious officials is a system that will exist forever. There are meritorious officials now and in the future. Now, with Mr. Zhou, Mr. Liaozi, you noble people, help me. There may not be high-righteous people like Mr. Zhou in the future. This matter must be handled well.
