Fu Qin starts with a plan

Late at night, in Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng and Fu Su sat opposite each other.

"Do you know what it means once this move becomes a regular practice?"

Ying Zheng put down the memorial in his hand, closed his eyes for a while, and then said.

"Once the resolution meeting is established, the power will definitely be dispersed!" Fu Su laughed.

In the memorial in Ying Zheng's hand, Zhao Kun made a request for a resolution meeting.

The so-called resolution meeting is a concept proposed by Zhao Kun.

Refer to the structure of the parliament, but relatively speaking, it has much greater authority than the parliament with only legislative power.

It not only has legislative power, but also has the right to dispose of any major affairs of Daqin.

There are a total of nine people in the resolution meeting, all of whom are important ministers of the court and appointed by the emperor.

Even if the emperor wants to issue a certain decree, he still needs to vote on the resolution.

This is equivalent to an enlarged version of the cabinet.

If this institution is really set up, the power of each member of parliament will be terribly great.

Everyone deserves the title of prime minister!

Ying Zheng didn't understand why Zhao Kun insisted on implementing this system.

After he established the Great Qin Dynasty, he called himself the first emperor, which meant that he was the only one who respected the heavens and the earth.

The resolution will definitely share the emperor's power, which is absolutely unacceptable in Ying Zheng's view.

Both Fusu and Zhao Kun knew Yingzheng's thoughts, but they were confident in persuading Yingzheng!
"Father, besides the memorial just now, I also have a secret letter from Brother Kun. This secret letter is read by our father and son together!"

As Fusu said, he took out a secret kraft paper letter from his bosom and handed it to Ying Zheng: "Father, I didn't understand Brother Kun's intentions before. As far as the resolution is concerned, the establishment of the resolution will be absolutely necessary."

"Kundi said that on the European continent, Rome has already implemented a republic. For hundreds of years, Rome's invincibility in Europe has largely benefited from this system."

"Rome? Is that the country that can rival my Great Qin?" Ying Zheng frowned.

In fact, as early as a long time ago, he heard Zhao Kun mention this country, and worried whether the other party would take advantage of the internal and external troubles of Daqin and come to invade.

Hearing Fusu talk about Rome now, his expression gradually became dignified.

As early as 300 years ago, the Romans expelled the king and established the Roman Republic, forming a system of separation of powers among the Senate, consuls and tribal conferences as the main structure.

This advanced system has allowed Rome to rarely fail in its nearly 300-year war history.

It was not until more than 100 years later that Sulla, supported by the aristocratic faction, became the final dictator that the Roman Republic disappeared in the long river of history.

Even at that time, no one dared to say that the failure of the Roman Republic was due to institutional problems.

The later Ming Dynasty also had a similar cabinet system, but the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty was divided too much, which led to excessive ministerial power in the later period.

However, the Great Qin and Rome, and later the Ming Dynasty, were not the same.

Under the leadership of Zhao Kun, Daqin has gradually evolved from farming civilization to industrial civilization.

In this case, the authoritarian monarchy will gradually become an obstacle.

Of course, Zhao Kun's original intention for the resolution meeting was not to weaken the imperial power.

This world, after all, was brought down by Kings of the Great Qin Dynasty, the Seventh King of the Great Qin Dynasty, how could it be possible to hand it over to others?

The formation of the Resolution Council is nothing more than a tool to serve the imperial power.

Each of the nine people in the resolution meeting had one vote, but Zhao Kun specifically stated in the plan that the emperor had one veto right in the resolution meeting.

What this means is self-explanatory.

Yingzheng was the first emperor, swallowed thousands of miles, and unified Zhuxia.

Zhao Kun thinks that he is far inferior to Yingzheng in governing the country.

However, it doesn't mean that he is not suitable to be an emperor, it's just that after these two generations, there will be future emperors.

Among future generations, there will always be a few incompetent ones.

At that time, the existence of the resolution meeting will become the insurance for maintaining the imperial power.

Zhao Kun believes that even the most idiot descendants will not fail to get more than half of the votes in the resolution meeting.

If that's the case, Daqin's country doesn't matter!
On the other hand, today's Daqin is not the same as in the past.

In the past, the situation in Daqin was relatively simple.

Domestic stability can be maintained only by relying on the authority of Ying Zheng.

But now, as people's pockets gradually bulge.

Different social classes have gradually emerged, which will inevitably lead to different demands.

With all kinds of affairs, how could it be possible for the emperor to handle them all by himself?

In this case, if the emperor is really diligent, it will be counterproductive.

After all, when manpower is limited.

"Now people say that Great Qin has been divided into two courts, the old and the new. Although this statement is too ridiculous, it is not untrue!"

Fu Su smiled and said, "Among the nine-member group at the resolution meeting, my son believes that there should be six of the three princes and nine ministers!"

Ying Zheng nodded his head, agreeing.

The implementation of the first five-year plan was sustained entirely by the prestige of Ying Zheng and Zhao Kun.

In fact, the old dynasty had quite a few complaints about some of the contents of the five-year plan.

Zhao Kun's move is also to promote the so-called integration between the old and new dynasties.

In other words, it is to allow Daqin to pass through the power transfer period smoothly!
With Fusu about to leave, Yingzheng has already expressed his attitude.

That is, this position, he gave up!
Once Ying Zheng made up his mind, Zhao Kun had no way to refuse.

He could only find a way to deal with all the places he thought were hidden dangers before Ying Zheng abdicated.

The so-called blocking is worse than sparse!
Rather than relying on personal prestige to force the veterans of the old court to agree with the New Deal, it is better to directly involve them.

It is not required that they all agree, but as long as they can understand the significance of the policies Zhao Kun implemented, Zhao Kun will be satisfied.

"I will ask one more question at the end, how do you ensure that the Great Qin will last forever?"

Yingzheng looked at Fusu with piercing eyes.

"Military power!"

Fu Su replied without thinking.

"It seems that you have indeed grown a lot in the past two years of prison!"

Ying Zheng smiled satisfied when he heard Fusu's answer.

Fu Su said calmly: "I will establish two sets of internal and external defense systems with Brother Kun to defend the unity of the Great Qin, and the first order issued after the establishment of the Resolution Council is to agree with the imperial family's absolute control over the army!"

"So good!"

Ying Zheng smiled and nodded.

Fusu's thinking was very clear, and he directly grasped the most important thing.

For emperors, power may be the power they usually display the most, but their most fundamental power is the army.

As long as you hold the army firmly in your hands, then Daqin will not be in chaos!
As for how to build an army after Fusu arrived overseas, Ying Zheng didn't want to ask any more questions.

Although Zhao Kun and him are both of their own kind, Ying Zheng has to admit that the two brothers have their own merits.

Ying Zheng is not an emperor who likes to interfere too much, so he approved Zhao Kun's plan and let them do it.

He was too lazy to care about other things.

However, thinking that Fusu was about to go abroad, Yingzheng inevitably showed some reluctance, and asked thoughtfully, "How are you preparing for the trip to America?"

"Kundi said that the new navy will be established soon, and when I go out, there should be a fleet of ten thousand people!"

Fusu answered truthfully.

Ying Zheng frowned: "A fleet of only [-] people? Is it a little less?"

"Father, do you know how powerful my Great Qin's navy is?" Fu Su asked with a smile when he heard Ying Zheng's words.

Ying Zheng was stunned: "How powerful is it?"

He has been resting for the past two years, and he really doesn't know the development of the navy.

After all, when he was in power, he mainly developed the army, and for the navy, he only developed the boatmen incidentally.

But Fusu said proudly: "Some time ago, there was a naval battle in the South China Sea. It is said that Liu Cheng, a giant bandit, has nearly 10 pirates under his command, and no less than a thousand warships!"

"However, it is such a huge disaster that is rampant in the sea, and it is beaten to pieces by a fleet of less than a thousand people, and it is almost wiped out!"

"what?"

Yingzheng was startled when he heard Fusu's words, thinking that my Daqin army is so powerful?
Although the Qin army is almost invincible on land, it is too exaggerated to have such combat power at sea!
Seeing Yingzheng's complexion kept changing, Fusu secretly laughed in his heart, but said calmly: "This is just an iron-clad ship of the second-generation navy. This kind of iron-clad ship is mainly made of wooden ships covered with a layer of iron."

"The weapons above are mainly second-generation artillery!"

"But the newly developed warship is a real iron-clad ship driven by steam power, and the artillery used is also an anti-aircraft gun, with a maximum range of about ten miles!"

"A navy equipped with such warships has 1 people compared to 50!"

At this point, Fusu didn't continue talking, because he found that Ying Zheng was a little lost.

At this moment, Ying Zheng finally realized the meaning of what Zhao Kun said, times have changed.

No wonder Zhao Kun wants to change the political structure, because the times have changed, and many situations are not what they were before.

After a while, Ying Zheng came back to his senses, and said to Fusu: "It's getting late, go back and rest earlier!"

"Yes! Father also rested earlier."

Ying Zheng waved his hands weakly, and watched Fu Su leave.

After the Great Court Assembly, the whole country rested for three days.

Three days later, on the first day of work, a new issue of the newspaper was published.

The information recorded above caused Daqin to shake again.

Counting the two years since the publication of the newspaper, the shocking news recorded on it is almost too numerous to enumerate.

However, none of the previous news had shocked Daqin as much as this issue of the newspaper.

Even the proposal of the first five-year plan is far inferior.

For the first time, Yingzheng conveyed the imperial decree in the form of a newspaper.

In the imperial decree, Ying Zheng ordered Fusu to take the lead in establishing a state affairs resolution meeting.

There will be a fixed number of nine people in the resolution meeting, of which six are recommended by courtiers and three are appointed by the emperor.

Since then, any major state affairs will need to be voted on by a resolution.

Even if the emperor issued an imperial edict, it was the same.

In the imperial decree, it is clearly stated that the resolution will have the power to propose legislation, the power to dispose of major state affairs, and the power to supervise final decision-making.

Once the newspaper was published, the whole country was shocked.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the idea of ​​this resolution comes from Prince Kun.

However, many people couldn't figure out why Prince Kun would do this.

Since the Xia and Shang Dynasties, it has become a deep-rooted concept of the people of Zhuxia.

Ask yourself, whoever sits in that seat wants to hold all the power in their hands.

The emergence of this resolution will go in the opposite direction and share the imperial power of the emperor.

For a while, people were talking about it.

The three princes and nine ministers were all urgently called into Xianyang Palace.

When entering the palace, everyone looked complicated.

In all fairness, Ying Zheng's decree to establish a resolution meeting is simply a great thing for nobles like them.

However, these people are unavoidably anxious.

In the past, Prince Kun used countless examples to prove to them that he never did anything useless.

However, the establishment of the resolution meeting is definitely not a good thing for the emperor.

Everyone couldn't figure out what kind of thoughts Ying Zheng and his son were hiding behind this organization.

According to Ying Zheng's consistent experience of holding power for more than 30 years, these people dare not show any overjoyed expressions.

An hour later, this short temporary meeting ended.

Ying Zheng summoned them this time to discuss the candidates for the state affairs resolution meeting.

Although it was a discussion, Ying Zheng gave his list bluntly.

Whether it is for the sake of his own head or the position of his buttocks, Sangong Jiuqing certainly did not dare to raise objections.

Soon, they unanimously approved the list of members of the first resolution meeting.

The veterans of the old dynasty often referred to in the old Qin population accounted for four places, namely Tongwu Hou Wang Ben, You Prime Minister Meng Yi, Neishi Ning Teng, and Zongzheng Yingde.

The new dynasty occupied five places, namely Zuo Prime Minister Chen Ping, Ting Wei Xiao He, Lang Zhongling Zhang Liang, Supervisor Wu Bo of the Market Supervision Bureau, and Fan Xiliang the newly appointed Supervisor of the Maritime Safety Administration.

Except for Fan Xiliang, the veterans of the old court felt quite comfortable seeing this list.

That's right!
What kind of resolution meeting is actually just paving the way for Prince Kunxin to ascend to the throne.

Think about it too.

Now, Ying Zheng's intention to abdicate is well known in Daqin.

However, Crown Prince Kun never accepted it.

But based on what these veterans knew about Ying Zheng, Prince Kun might not last long.

The so-called emperor and courtier.

Once Crown Prince Kun succeeds to the throne, according to his style of doing things, he will definitely throw aside all the veterans of the old court and use his own manpower.

However, it is obviously unreasonable to use the system of Sangong Jiuqing again.

Those under Crown Prince Kun, even the older Zhang Liang and Xiao He, are only in their thirties.

At this age, it is obviously inappropriate to enshrine the public and worship the minister.

According to Prince Kun's consistent style, when the things he wants to do under a system are not working, he will definitely establish a new system.

Sangong Jiuqing, since the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty more than [-] years ago, it has been established.

Speaking of honor, in fact, everyone knows that it is just an honorary title.

Daqin just followed its system, but the specific power in the court is not what Yingzheng means?
Anyway, this world belongs to Yingzheng and his son. If they want to change it, no one else can have an opinion.

Moreover, these veterans also have their own calculations in mind.

It is decided that there will be nine people, each of whom can be called a prime minister.

Moreover, their power is much greater than that of the left and right prime ministers before.

I have no chance, but can my children and grandchildren find a way to become this member of parliament?
The Zhuxia civilization has been passed down for so long, and the courtiers have already tempered their super adaptability.

They immediately saw the potential benefits from the establishment of the resolution meeting.

The members of the first resolution meeting were appointed by Ying Zheng himself, which everyone can understand.

After all, everything Yingzheng is doing now is paving the way for Prince Kun.

You can tell by looking at the people he chooses.

Every member of the resolution committee has a very good relationship with Zhao Kun, and it is impossible to sing against Zhao Kun.

Then, in the days to come, under Zhao Kun's wise leadership, Daqin will reach new heights.

This is beyond doubt.
