Daqin Fusu: It is difficult to start the battle

Chapter 99 Luxurious lineup

On the carriage heading towards Lantian, Fusu recalled the previous scene.

In this era when the power of the prime minister is almost as important as the power of the emperor, if you want to implement a new deal, the first thing that cannot be avoided is the left and right prime ministers.

The prime minister of the left, Wei Liao, was fine. After Fusu arranged a position for his heir, he basically entered the state of waiting for retirement. Apart from daily governance, he would not interfere with Fusu's decision-making.

Only Feng Quji, who is called the right minister and is actually the prime minister, has always been a mountain weighing on Fusu's head!
From Fusu's point of view, all of this is caused by Emperor Shihuang...

After Qin merged with the Six Kingdoms, it still used the organizational framework from the Zhou Dynasty.

Set up Sangong in the center, that is, the highest leadership team composed of the prime minister, Taiwei and Yushi doctor, who ruled the world together with the emperor.

The three princes do not belong to each other and are directly responsible to the emperor.

It's just because of Qin's unique system problems that the Taiwei, who is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses in name, has no sense of existence.

However, the prime minister has a high position and authority. In addition to being responsible for the administrative work of the whole country, he also has the right to assess, select and punish county officials across the country!
Of course, this does not include people around the emperor, and officials of other key central departments, such as Jiuqing, such as Nei Shi (Governor of Zhili).

But in other words, apart from the above-mentioned officials, all officials in the country are under his control!
Therefore, the first emperor set up left and right prime ministers to prevent one family from dominating.

When the first emperor was alive, because he had the prestige of destroying the six kingdoms, and because he set up this political system, he could use the rules to attack dissidents with ease, thus putting his own will above all rules.

After Fusu succeeded to the throne, he was the second emperor. What he had to face was the "ancestral system" that had been implemented for more than ten years...

Of course, the ancestral system of the Qin Dynasty is not as sacred and inviolable as the later generations. After all, since Shang Yang's reform, the Qin kings of all dynasties have more or less reluctantly violated the resolutions of their ancestors...

Fusu was thinking, since the existing imperial court is complicated, there is me in you and your stagnant water in me.

Then, can I also make a decision that violates the ancestral system with tears in my eyes...

The system designed by the first emperor, which can be used to pass on to the second, third, and even eternal generations, is actually a kind of entrusted management model.

Since the emperor entrusted the management of the state power to the ministers, the formulation and implementation of state policies were arranged by the prime minister and the three officials and nine ministers.

In the eyes of that confident fat man, his great achievements far surpassed those of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and it will be even more difficult for future generations to catch up with him.

Then the system he established is naturally perfect, and it must be applicable for generations to come.

It's a pity that in the original history, it won't be long before the people of Chu are burned, and the pitiful scorched earth...

What Fusu wants to do is to change this ending without causing turmoil in the central government.

A librarian in later generations who did not want to be named once said that Qin Huang Han Wu, Tang Zong Song Zu.

Fusu understood that what really hindered him was not the Sangong Jiuqing himself, but the right to formulate policies in their hands.

Since Qin Huang's system bound his own hands, can he follow the example of Han Wu and get rid of the existing Sangong Jiuqing system!
Thinking of this, Fusu took out a bamboo slip from his side, on which was written an edict to adjust the official position of the Shaofu:
Reorganized the organizational structure of the Zhongshuling, and assigned the eunuchs as guides, receptionists, and ceremonial personnel in the inner palace to the jurisdiction of the eunuchling.

Adjusted the powers of Shang Shuling of the same level as Monk Yi (serving the emperor to change clothes) and Shang Xi (handling the emperor's sleeping utensils), and adjusted the secretarial department initiated by the original Chinese book in charge of the palace to a functional department that can participate in political affairs.

After finishing one scroll, Fusu picked up another scroll of bamboo slips and continued to write the edict on it:

Appoint Li Cheng, the servant, as the order of ministers, with a rank ratio of eight hundred stones;

Appointed Hongwen Pavilion to recruit Xiao He as Shangshu Youcheng, with a rank ratio of five hundred stones;

Appoint Li Shiqi, a doctor waiting for the imperial edict, as Shangshu Zuocheng, with a rank ratio of five hundred stones;

Appoint Hongwen Pavilion to recruit Cao Shen as Shangshu Youpushe, with a rank ratio of five hundred stones;
Appointed Hongwen Pavilion to recruit Zhou Chang as Shangshu Zuo Pushe, with a rank ratio of five hundred stones;
Chen Ying, a talented scholar, was appointed as the order of Zhongshu Yezhe, with a rank ratio of eight hundred stones;

Appointed Hongwen Pavilion waiter Zhou Ke as the right minister of Zhongshu Yezhe, with a rank ratio of five hundred stones;
Chen Ping, a scholar of materials, was appointed Zuo Cheng, a scholar of Zhongshu, with a rank ratio of five hundred stones;
Uncle Sun Tong, a doctor of the Taizhong, was appointed as a servant, and he could enter and leave the imperial city with his waist card.

Afterwards, some familiar names in the Caishi Museum were selected to serve as the readers of Shangshu and Zhongshu.

Because these are all officials below [-] shi, and they are officials belonging to the Shaofu, in other words, they are close ministers serving the emperor, so their appointment does not need to go through the prime minister's mansion. It took effect.

After Fusu finished writing, he blew on the ink that hadn't dried up with his mouth. Looking at the long list of names on it, his heart was full of complacency.

Such a luxurious lineup of secretaries can be regarded as unprecedented!

Back then, Han Wu used this method to gradually overshadow the former ministers, turning them from policy makers into workers who could only obey orders.

This approach is a bit like the cabinet and military aircraft department of later generations, which divides decision-making power and executive power into two.

The inner court is responsible for decision-making, and the outer court is responsible for implementation. If the bigwigs in the outer court disagree, they can resign and go home to help their son take care of the third child!

Not long ago, Fusu didn't have the confidence to do this, but now he is full of confidence with the victory in Longxi and the expansion of the land!

……

Going out of Xianyang Palace to the south, there is a not very wide east-west road. On the south side of the road, there is a piece of low and ordinary buildings. The mansion of ordinary wealthy people.

But when you walk to the end of the road, you can see many soldiers holding halberds and black-clothed officials in a hurry.

When you look up again, you will see the three seal characters written on the plaque at the gate, Prime Minister's Mansion.

When Xianyang was built, it was called Daliang Zaofu. It used to be the residence of Shang Yang. Later, Zhang Yi, Gan Mao, Fan Ju, Gan Luo and others lived in successively.

The current owner of the mansion is the Right Prime Minister Feng Quji.

On the side of the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is a semi-circular moon gate. When you enter the moon gate and pass through the corridor, you will find a courtyard that occupies an extremely large area.

There are mountains and waters, green trees and pavilions in the courtyard, which is very quiet.

After passing the pool, there is a small palace built in imitation of the Korean royal palace. This is the bedroom that Feng Quji built for himself after he became prime minister.

In the palace, Feng Jie sat cross-legged with an angry look on his face.

"Those who messed up the Qin Dynasty, come up now!"

After returning from the paper mill, he, Yao Jia, Dunruo and others did not return to their mansion, but gathered in the prime minister's mansion.

Compared to Feng Jie who became more and more angry, Yao Jia seemed much calmer.

He stroked his beard and said, "It is said that His Majesty imprisoned Young Master Hu Hai in the imperial mausoleum after returning from helping the coffin..."

Feng Jie's eyes lit up: "You mean..."
