Chapter 151: Change the official system and reward hundreds of officials
Looking at the national flag fluttering in the sun, Ying Zheng suddenly felt something and said with all his strength: "Under Pu Tian, could it be the land of Qin, on the shore of the land? Could it be Qin Chen? , May the song of Great Qin be praised by all nations, may the flag of Great Qin fly in all lands!”
Everyone in the audience was startled, especially those who participated in the design of the entire ceremony, such as Wang Wan, Wei Liao, Feng Jie, and Li Si.
In design, there is no such sentence!
But His Majesty has already said it, and these people reacted quickly, and quickly followed Ying Zheng and chanted vigorously: "May the song of Great Qin be praised by all nations, and may the flag of Great Qin fly in all territories!"
Others quickly followed suit, and the neat voices echoed throughout the Great Qin Palace, even outside the palace.
There are many Qin people outside the palace. Today is the day when their king proclaims himself emperor. They came here to wait and see to see if they can expect anything.
Hearing the voice coming from the palace, everyone knelt on the ground. Although they did not know what was happening in the palace, they also chanted: "May the song of Great Qin be praised by all nations, and may the flag of Great Qin fly to all nations. "Xinjiang!"
And the chanting quickly spread throughout Xianyang City, and the whole city was shouting.
Hearing the louder chanting from outside the palace, Ying Zheng was slightly stunned, but Li Nian regretted that he could not take pictures of the scene in Xianyang at this time.
He actually wanted to go out to the palace and take pictures of the scene outside the palace, see what the people in Xianyang were doing during the ceremony when the First Emperor proclaimed himself emperor, and record them and pass them on to future generations.
Those who were not from Qin, but people from other countries in Xianyang, heard this shocking shout, and were all shocked by the prestige of the King of Qin in the hearts of the Qin people.
Xianyang, in a guest house room, several strange "Xianyang people" were staying in the room. After hearing the shouts, several people opened the windows slightly and looked outside.
Seeing the Qin people on the street kneeling on the ground and shouting those words excitedly, several people couldn't help but look heavy. One of them whispered: "The King of Qin is so trusted by the people of Qin that he must report to Shan Yu as soon as possible. , we cannot be enemies with King Qin for the time being."
A person next to him said: "Even if we are not enemies with King Qin, King Qin may not let us go..."
They thought they were very strong, but facing Qin who had destroyed six kingdoms and unified the world, they still felt heavy pressure and did not think they were sure of absolute victory in a war with Qin.
So after learning that the King of Qin in the south who had just unified the world was going to call him emperor, Chanyu sent them to inquire about the situation and see what the King of Qin's attitude was towards them.
Now that I hear these words, King Qin’s ambition is obviously not small, and he is afraid that it will be detrimental to them!
In the royal palace, Ying Zheng’s emperor-proclaiming ceremony is proceeding to the next step, which is also the stage that many ministers have been waiting for. Isn’t it just for this moment that they persuade the king to further become emperor?
If the king doesn’t make progress, how can they make progress? If they don’t make progress, where will their glory and wealth come from?
Ying Zheng said: "From today on, the Jiuqing will be changed into provinces and ministries: the provinces will be the Ministry of Imperial History, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of State..."
Ying Zheng finally adopted some measures to follow Li Nian The resulting dynastic official system.
After all, the official system of later generations was indeed conducive to his centralization of power and made rights and responsibilities clearer. However, due to the current situation of Da Qin, it was impossible to completely modify it, and only part of it could be adopted.
“The ministries are the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Taxation, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Education...”
“The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the assessment, promotion and demotion of officials, and the Ministry of War The Ministry of Punishment is in charge of the military affairs of the country, conscription of military service, and review of military achievements. The Ministry of Punishment is in charge of criminal law and investigates violations of laws and regulations in the world. The Ministry of Education is in charge of education and supervision of education in the world..."
"The Ministry of State is in charge of the government affairs of the country, with Wang Wan as the prime minister, Li Si and Feng Quji as deputy prime ministers, and in charge of the Ministry of Accounts, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Rites..." "The Ministry of Imperial History is in charge of admonishment, reviewing government decrees and their influence throughout the world. Feedback, Feng Jie is the chief commander, Chunyu Yue and Zhao Gao are deputy commanders, and they are in charge of the Procuratorate and the Public Press Platform..."
< br>
“The Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of the affairs of the royal palace and the clan. It has a purchasing department and a clan mansion. The son Ying is the clan official.”
The specific official system is very complicated, and it took a long time for Yingzheng and his ministers to discuss it. It was decided that there were so many things, but it could not be explained clearly at the same time. Naturally, Ying Zheng only talked about the key departments and ministers.
Although the ministers knew in advance that the official system would be changed, they did not know the specific officials who held the official positions.
"The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War are under my direct control. The left minister Meng Tian of the Ministry of Personnel, Wang Ben, the right minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Jian, the left minister of the Ministry of War, Wei Liao, the right minister of the Ministry of Education, Li Nian of the Ministry of Education is the minister, Su Xu is the left minister, and the minister of the household is..."
Most ministers are very happy. Although the official system has been changed, they have all been promoted compared to the past. However, some are not satisfied, and Li Si is one of them.
What he wanted was to become a person under one person in the Qin Dynasty and above ten thousand people, to replace Wang Wan and become the prime minister of the current dynasty.
Although he can now be called "Prime Minister", he is preceded by the word "Deputy". There is a huge difference between having this word and not having it.
Although he seemed to have greater powers and responsibilities than when he was a Tingwei, it was not what he wanted. Not to mention that there was Feng Quji who was on an equal footing with him. Prime Minister Wang Wan.
Zhao Gao didn't care too much about this. He knew that everything he had today stemmed from Ying Zheng, and what he cared more about was Ying Zheng's favor.
Wang Jian specifically glanced at Meng Tian beside him. His Majesty placed him and Wang Ben in the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War respectively. Obviously, he did not want him and Wang Ben to be in power in the Ministry of War. He also inserted a Meng Tian and a Wei respectively. Liao, let no one except Your Majesty be in charge of two departments.
But even if His Majesty does not do this, he will take the initiative to propose it. He is not afraid of the king being jealous, but is afraid that the king is not jealous. That would be more dangerous.
Wang Wan doesn’t care, although compared to the previous prime minister, his power has actually been weakened, and it has been weakened the most. Not only did some provinces and ministries no longer be under his jurisdiction, but also Li Si , Feng Quji were pushed in, allowing the three of them to check and balance each other, so that no one could try to monopolize power.
This gave Wang Wan an idea, ‘Who does your Majesty seem to be guarding against with this move? It’s not like he was guarding me, and Feng Quji wasn’t like...’
If it weren't for the two of them, then there would only be one person left - the original Tingwei Li Si!
But why is Your Majesty guarding against Li Si?
Although there was some disagreement with Li Si, Wang Wan also admitted that Li Si was not inferior to him in talent, even more so, and was definitely his best candidate to become the next prime minister.
And Li Si has worked conscientiously and sincerely for His Majesty and the Qin Dynasty over the years. The king and his ministers are in harmony with each other. In order to show his favor to Li Si, he married his daughter to Li Si's son regardless of the age gap.
Wang Wandu is ready to step down as prime minister after unifying the world.
Because he and Ying Zheng were increasingly at odds with each other, but Li Si and Ying Zheng could pee in the same pot.
If you take the initiative to retreat, you can still save some favor with Ying Zheng. It would be shameful to wait for Ying Zheng to take action.
No matter how you look at it, Li Si will replace him as prime minister. However, he is still the prime minister until now. Not only did Ying Zheng have no intention of letting him step down, but Li Si was held down tightly. If his guess is true, even if If he retreats, Li Si will not become prime minister.
Wang Wan guessed in her heart: 'The reason is probably related to Li Nian! ’
Note: You can just enjoy the modifications to the official system in this chapter. How could I alone design an official system that completely conforms to the Qin Dynasty in the book.
