"See the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live, long live, long live!" The ministers saluted Qin Shihuang.

Qin Shihuang waved his hand and said, "Dear friends, please calm down!"

He glanced at the ministers and finally fell on Wei Liao, Han Fei, Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Zhou Chong, Nei Shiteng and others, and said, "Zhao Gao, set up a seat for Mr. Liaozi, Mr. Zhou, Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Nei Shiteng."

Zhao Gao responded and brought a few eunuchs over, put the Jindun down, and then retreated.

Qin Shihuang said: "Mr. Liaozi, Mr. Zhou, Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Nei Shiteng, you have worked hard for the Qin Dynasty to achieve the glory of today. I am very grateful to you.

You are idle at home, so I shouldn’t have disturbed you, but today I have a major decision and I have to invite you to come and discuss it together. I will set up this seat, please sit down.”

Zhou thanked the others for their kindness, and then sat down.

"You all saw that today's ministers have arrived very neatly, and those who are not on weekdays have arrived. You must be wondering what I have to call them all?" Qin Shihuang glanced at the ministers and said, "That's because I want to establish a crown prince today and call you for discussion.

”

Only Zhou Chong knew about the establishment of the crown prince, and even Wei Liao and the others did not know about it. They never expected that Qin Shihuang would establish the crown prince early. When they heard this, they were all shocked.

Amid the surprise of the ministers, Qin Shihuang continued: "The crown prince, the crown prince of the country, where the great throne is inherited, can be established as a legitimate and a virtuous person. All the ministers and workers, do you all tell me whether it is a legitimate or a virtuous person?"

Qin Shihuang's unfathomable person suddenly raised this question. No minister can tell his pulse. You look at me, I look at you, no one dares to speak first.

"Why? You don't speak, are you worried?" Qin Shihuang smiled and said, "Don't worry. I won't blame you. Li Si, as the prime minister, you should tell me who should the crown prince of Daqin be appointed?"

Li Si didn't want to be the first to speak, but hesitated to give Qin Shihuang a name. "Your Majesty, I think that since ancient times, the first crown prince is the first to be the eldest son.

The second is to establish a virtuous person. Since Wu Ding of the Shang Dynasty established his eldest son as the crown prince, he has followed this method. I think it is appropriate to establish a eldest son based on the basis of all generations. Li Si misunderstood, so please ask the emperor to observe clearly.

Before Wu Ding of the Shang Dynasty, the system of inheritance of the throne was unclear, and the battle for the throne was often staged. This caused the Shang Dynasty to be in peace.

Wu Ding, the most accomplished emperor of the Shang Dynasty, learned the lesson and finally established the system of inheritance of the eldest son, which allowed the struggle for the throne to restrain. The system of inheritance of the eldest son also had flaws, that is, the eldest son may not have the ability to govern the country, such as Emperor Hui of Han.

The famous soft doll emperor, everything is in charge of Empress Lü.

Another flaw in the inheritance system of the eldest son is that those princes with the ability to govern the country do not have the right to inherit, and wars often occur. For example, the Ming Chengzu ascended the throne through war, creating a prosperous era in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, there are special cases. For example, Emperor Wu of Han was not the eldest son, but the fourth son of Emperor Jing of Han. Due to his talent shown in his childhood, Emperor Jing of Han finally made him the crown prince, creating the first heyday in Chinese history when civil and military powers reached its peak.

The relationship between inheritance of the throne is very important. After the establishment of the system of eldest sons, Li Si held this proposal for thousands of years, which was very insightful, and the ministers agreed in unison.

"You all think that the crown prince should be the eldest son?" Qin Shihuang asked: "If the eldest son is not filial and there are talented people among the other sons, do you have to be the eldest son?"

This is indeed a disadvantage. The ministers didn't know how to answer, and they all kept silent.

Qin Shihuang named him again: "Li Si. Let me tell you. Could it be that the Qin Dynasty's country will fall into the hands of mediocre talents? The Qin Dynasty will be passed down for generations, and it will be a talented person for generations."

This question is too big. Li Si didn't know how to answer, so he stood there in a daze and said, "Your Majesty, this..."

Zhou Chong stood up and rescued him, saying, "Emperor, Zhou Chong thought that the crown prince should be appointed as the eldest son or the wise man, this was decided by the emperor. However, Zhou Chong believed that the system of eldest son had its own reasons for being passed down for thousands of years and should not be rejected.

The emperor is worried that the eldest son of the crown prince will be appointed, which will cause the talented people to be in power. The emperor will make a decision on whether to establish the eldest son or a virtuous person."

This sounds a bit ambiguous. In fact, it is to remind Qin Shihuang to establish a legitimate or a virtuous person, and to use each other to establish a eldest son system, and then to establish a virtuous person. The specific situation is handled in detail, because these two systems have their own advantages and disadvantages.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" This problem is too big, and it is difficult to explain it even if you continue to get entangled. No one dares to say anything. The ministers are eager to end it as soon as possible.

Qin Shihuang nodded and said, "Who do you think among my sons should be made the crown prince?"

Zhou Chong already knew the answer, so of course he would not be so stupid as to the first answer and would sit still.

There have been many bloody incidents in the past dynasties because of the establishment of the crown prince. The ministers would not understand this principle and dare not speak nonsense. Qin Shihuang named him: "Han Fei, what do you think."

Han Fei stuttered, "Emperor, Han Fei thought that the eldest son Fusu should be appointed as the eldest son Fusu. If the eldest son Fusu is appointed as the most virtuous, Han Fei thought that Fusu should be appointed as the crown prince."

He had a very high status in Qin Shihuang's mind, and he said so. It seems that this matter is a foregone conclusion. Moreover, although Fusu is young, his heroic spirit has been revealed. The ministers knew that Fusu was indeed virtuous and talented, so they said: "I will discuss it."

"Mr. Liaozi, what do you think?" Qin Shihuang named.

Wei Liao echoed: "Emperor, Liaozi thinks Han Fei's statement is reasonable, and Liaozi thinks so too."

Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Shiteng and the other two without waiting for Qin Shihuang to name the name, and said, "I will discuss it!"

Qin Shihuang stood up and said, "Are you all the ministers so united? I feel very comforted? I also think that Fusu is the eldest son, wise and talented, and I value it very much, so I decided to enthrone Fusu as the crown prince and choose an auspicious day to report to the Taimiao to celebrate the ceremony.

”

"The emperor is wise!" The ministers praised it in unison.

Qin Shihuang continued: "Although Fusu has shown his heroic spirit, after all, he is young, and he still needs a master with knowledge, virtue and great skills. Who do you think is the most suitable to be the prince's tutor?"

The ministers were talking about it, some recommended Wei Liao, some recommended Han Fei, and some recommended Zhou Chongdi. Judging from their attitude, it would be impossible to come up with a result without ten days and half a month.

Li Si coughed and said, "Dear colleagues, please be quiet." When the prime minister spoke, the ministers naturally had to listen, so they had to stop talking. Li Si said, "Your Majesty, I think the crown prince's tutor is Mr. Zhou."

He actually had such a vision, just like the candidate Qin Shihuang was interested in. Qin Shihuang became interested and asked, "How do you say this?"

"The emperor, in terms of talent, knowledge, character, Mr. Liaozi and Han Fei can all be the prince's tutor, but I still think Mr. Zhou is the most suitable.

"Li Si's smart man certainly would not say the shortcomings of the two in front of so many people. Let's just stop it. With Qin Shihuang's talent, he would not be confused.

Wei Liao and Han Feiqi said: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's words are extremely true."

Qin Shihuang nodded and said, "I recognize it so much, so I have to ask Mr. Zhou to train Fusu. I wonder if Mr. Zhou can surrender?"

Zhou Chong took the order and said, "Zhou Chong obeys the order!"
