Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 268
Adding three ranks of nobility, Zhao Si's nobility is directly promoted from the right to Siche Shuchang.

The rank of nobility rose from the fourteenth rank to the seventeenth rank, and the only titles on Zhao Si's head were Da Shuchang, Guanneihou and Chehou.

There is only one step away from Fenghou.

The new jade plate crown has been delivered, and there is also a new car.

The four-horse chariot is long, as the name suggests, you can take a chariot pulled by four horses when you go out in the future, which is basically the ultimate specification of a minister.

At this point, Zhao Si has truly become an upper-class nobleman, a real master.

As for the official position, Zhao Si has already served as Lang Zhongling to the end.

The next step is either to be promoted to Lang Zhongling to push Meng Yi down, or to be promoted outside.

"Congratulations, Zhao Siche!" Li Si helped Zhao Si put on the new crown, and after taking two steps back to observe carefully, he expressed emotion.

In fact, Li Si didn't care much about the promotion of title and official position, what he cared more about was the right to found a mansion.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, because the monarchy was not centralized, the right to open a mansion was basically a standard for middle and high-level nobles.

Under the Shiqing Shilu system, the official positions of each department basically rely on blood to continue.

In that era, the grandfather was the prime minister, the father was the prime minister, and the son was the prime minister. There were three generations of prime ministers in the family, and there were countless deeds of devotion to the country. Official positions and even departments were basically reduced to the private property of the family, so basically the older nobles had independent The king should not interfere too much with the right to appoint personnel.

From the reform of Shang Yang to the unification of the first emperor.

This situation has eased.

If the king wants to centralize power, in addition to eliminating the Shiqing Shilu system, the right to appoint and remove personnel must also be in his hands.

After the first emperor succeeded to the throne, only the Sangong Jiuqing retained the right to open the mansion within a certain range.

Zhao Si obtained the power to found the mansion as a doctor. From Li Si's point of view, becoming the Three Lords and Nine Ministers was already a certainty.

This was what Li Si paid the most attention to.

This kid Zhao Si can't hold back!

I am afraid that when the first emperor drives back to Xianyang, he will really soar into the sky.

Even if it wasn't the Sangong Jiuqing, who had the right to establish the government, even if he could only appoint and remove low-level officials, Zhao Si could pull up a political force of his own in an instant.

Not to mention, in addition to the appointment and removal of low-level officials, Zhao Si can also recommend officials.

The point is, Zhao Si's recommender, the First Emperor, really listened to him.

Recommend one and ask for one, apart from having to admit that Zhao Si is really good at picking out his followers, the first emperor's trust in Zhao Si is something that Li Si can't envy.

Li Si also put forward the personnel transfer proposal and plan to the first emperor after careful consideration, ensuring that there were no fake people among them, but it has been several months since he submitted it, and it has not yet been officially approved.

"You don't need to mind about the opening of the mansion. Now you are still an official, and you don't have much practical work. Even if you appoint or remove official positions, you can only appoint and remove some empty posts, but you should not be able to work as an official for long." Li Si smiled and said. .

"The empty job is also a food for the country, which is not bad." Zhao Si smiled.

He is not a rookie in the officialdom now, so how could he not know what the right to open a government office means in Daqin.

The right to open a government is very worthless in the troubled times when the imperial power has fallen, and any military leader can pull a few staff members to control one side.

However, when the imperial power is highly concentrated and there is a powerful and strategic monarch, the right to open a government office is especially precious.

How can a king be willing to easily hand over the right to appoint and remove personnel to officials?
That is to say, the centralization system of the Qin Dynasty is not clear enough, and everything has not yet been established, so the Sangong Jiuqing still generally holds the power to open the government.

Later, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, those who were able to open the mansion were either elders of Ge, or encountered major events that required reform or governance.

It is still a joyful thing to be promoted.

Especially for the title of title, Zhao Si is now only one step away from Feng Houzhen.

However, Zhao Si himself knew in his heart that the further he went, the more difficult it would be.

It may not be so easy to seal the Marquis.

Although the Qin Dynasty has not yet stipulated that military merit cannot be granted as a marquis, it has basically become an actual fact.

Zhao Si is still very content, the matter of the sand dunes is not enough for outsiders to understand, and it seems a bit inexplicable to outsiders that the first emperor promoted himself.

Now that it has been delayed for a few months, the new high-yield grains have become popular, and this stall is used to block Youyou's mouth, lest Zhao Si be envied by others.

The first emperor was still as thoughtful and thoughtful as ever.

"Right now, it's not time to celebrate. Your Majesty has an edict, so I have to invite Zhao Siche to go there in person." Li Si stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"okay!"

Zhao Si is a smooth donkey, the main thing is that he can't expect too much, now that he has got benefits, there is no point in being stubborn, humming a little song and striding towards Shi Huang's chapel.

Leaving Li Si alone looking at Zhao Si's back, a trace of deep envy flashed in his eyes.

The same people are from Menggu, but the same people have different fates.

When Li Si made a choice and was about to summon all the officials to eliminate the possibility of Zhao Gao's chaotic government, he was stopped by Dunwei.

In fact, when Dunwei came out, Li Si understood everything, and he was not a fool.

However, let alone expressing his displeasure to Zhao Si so clearly, Li Si didn't have the slightest thought at that time, he was really afraid.

As for Zhao Si, Chunchun is just a fool and bold.

In this kind of matter, he still dared to put eye drops on the first emperor, so straightforward that he could no longer express his dissatisfaction in his heart.

Being teased by the First Emperor, how could Li Si have no complaints in his heart?

But he dared not, nor could he express his dissatisfaction so clearly like Zhao Si.

As for Zhao Si's behavior of not showing face and not letting Shihuang step down, and saying that he was bad, it seemed even more mysterious to Li Si.

The most terrible thing is that, after several months of dragging, Emperor Shihuang finally chose to personally give Zhao Si a step up.

"Zhao Si..."

When the first emperor drove back to Xianyang, Li Si's compensation would also be in place.

It is nothing more than being promoted from the left minister to the right minister, and began to preside over the implementation of the Qiangui Order and the reform and change of Qin Law and Qin Law.

This was something to be expected, and Zhao Si at that time would probably soar into the sky because of it.

Now that Zhao Si already has the right to open the mansion, when he drives back to Xianyang, Zhao Si's status will be promoted again, at least directly equal to Jiuqing.

fast!
too fast!
How long has it been since Zhao Si appeared in Daqin?

Even if the first emperor drove back to Xianyang, it would only take two years.

In two years, from a white body to a high position in Jiuqing, the group of down-and-out scholars dare not write like that.

Li Si's own experience is already legendary enough, from Shangcai Buyi to now an official to Sangong, compared with Zhao Si's experience, it is a bit realistic.

On the other side, Zhao Si also directly stepped into the first emperor's door.

After dragging on the sand dunes for a long time, and walking for so long in the middle, now the driver has completely driven out of the sand dunes, leaving unwillingly in the scorching heat, only Qiuhu is still showing his strength.

Before arriving at the drive, Zhao Si bowed and saluted.

Then he jumped onto the frame and jumped into the car.

"Sit down." Emperor Shihuang waved his hand, and his complexion and complexion have improved a lot.

After cultivating for so long, Shi Huang's body has completely recovered. According to Xia Wuqi's diagnosis, Shi Huang's current body can be said to be without any hidden dangers, as strong as a tiger.

Zhao Si sat down obediently and lowered his head. After so long, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

In the end, it was Emperor Shi Huang who spoke first.

"In the past few months, you have nothing to do, so you have become more proficient in calligraphy?"

It's okay if you don't open your mouth, but Zhao Si's sore feet will hurt if you open your mouth.

"There is progress..." Zhao Si choked out three words for a long time.

He was really practicing, but Zhao Si's hand was good at waving a halberd, threading a needle and threading a thread, vigorously without losing dexterity, but it was difficult for him to do calligraphy with a brush.

Handwriting, after all, is a person's appearance.

Zhao Si is really practicing deliberately, and has made some progress so far. At least there will be no problem of writing the words into a ball, but whether it is crooked or crooked, he can recognize it, but every word has his own. idea.

"Write and see..."

Zhao Si was silent for a moment, studied the ink and picked up the pen.

Several large characters appeared on the white paper in a short while.

Shi Huang glanced at it and nodded with a bit of amused expression.

It would be an exaggeration to say that it has not improved.

At least compared to before, it seems that it is not so difficult to distinguish.

"It has indeed improved." Emperor Shihuang nodded.

"But not much..." Xu was worried about Zhao Si's pride, and added at the end.

"Is it because I'm not comfortable with the paper, or with the pen?" Shi Huang smiled and looked at Zhao Si.

"It's all smooth, but the use of ink is not smooth." Zhao Si still insisted on being stubborn in calligraphy.

The first emperor didn't hold back this time, so he laughed.

Zhao Si could only laugh apologetically.

After a long time, Emperor Shi Huang restrained his expression and looked at Zhao Si to ask.

"Take out the jade pendant I gave you earlier."

Zhao Si was stunned for a moment.

Jade?

And this thing?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true. Before the fairy grain was about to be produced, the first emperor gave a jade pendant and told Zhao Si that if there was something important about the immortal grain, he could hold the jade pendant and enter the palace without hindrance.

However, this jade pendant is a one-off, Zhao Si also specifically asked the first emperor how long the jade pendant would last, but the first emperor did not give a clear reply.

Later, when the fairy food happened, the first emperor did not take back the jade pendant.

Zhao Si didn't get an accurate answer from Emperor Shihuang, so he simply put it on the shelf.

It's not necessary, it's nothing more than eliminating the steps of entering the palace for inspection, which is dispensable to Zhao Si.

Therefore, he didn't bring it with him, and now he should be eating ashes in the small box on Zhao Si's frame.

"In Chen's car!"

It was rare for Zhao Si to think for a long time before he thought of the exact location of the jade pendant.

"Your Majesty wants to take back the jade pendant? I'll get it now!" Zhao Si said.

The First Emperor frowned slightly, always feeling that the boy's speech was a bit weird.

But Emperor Shihuang didn't care about these anymore, he just waved his hand and took off the jade pendant himself.

"I will give it to you as well. With this jade pendant, you can enter the palace without hindrance." The exquisite jade pendant was pushed from the case table to Zhao Si by the first emperor.

Zhao Si said "Oh" and took the jade pendant respectfully.

"Why don't you ask how long it will last this time?" Shi Huang raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I was ignorant before, but now I understand it. Naturally, this kind of thing can be used as long as His Majesty lets it last." Zhao Si replied sincerely.

Still pissed off.

The expression on Shi Huangdi's face gradually became serious.

"Right now you have Zhao Gaogao imprisoned by the palace, but the CRRC government decree is empty. Is there anyone to choose?" Shi Huang asked.

"Your Majesty decides." Zhao Si replied.

This time it wasn't yin and yang, Zhao Si really didn't know, although he often went in and out of the palace, but he always tried his best to avoid any friendship and contact with the palace people and ministers, so he really didn't have any suggestions in this regard.

"Oh..." Shi Huang leaned back, squinted his eyes, and showed a slight smile on his face.

"The CRRC Mansion Commander is in charge of palace officials and ministers, travels by carriage and horses, and takes public guards. It will be difficult to find for a while."

Zhao Si nodded, this is a big truth.

There is no small matter in the Tian family, so let’s not mention what wrong things Zhao Gao did. He has been the magistrate of CRRC for so many years. It is also a skill for Zhao Gao to be able to do his own work in a clear and orderly manner, so that Emperor Shi Huang used it so smoothly that he was reluctant to replace it.

"You have nothing else to do now, and you have been in charge of the carriage, horses, rides, and bodyguards, which is quite appropriate. How about I mention you as the CRRC Mansion Commander?" The First Emperor said with a smile.

Zhao Si's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

The order of the CRRC government is an internal minister.

There have been different opinions about the inner minister.

Zhao Gao, who is the order of the CRRC government, can't say whether he cut Zhao Si or not. Zhao Si even guessed before, and finally came to the conclusion that Zhao Gao's job was in Schrödinger's state.

It's a pity to say that Zhao Gao was killed, but Zhao Si still doesn't know whether Zhao Gao was killed or not.

Now Zhao Gao's body is long gone, and his work has completely become a real Schrödinger's bird.

Zhao Si shook his head like a rattle drum, he didn't want to try his own tricks and use himself to verify whether Zhao Gao was right or not, for this kind of thing, there is no need to try his own tricks.

"Your Majesty, I have little talent and little knowledge, so I cannot take up this important position..." Zhao Si hurriedly said goodbye.

"For three days after the farewell, you should look at him with admiration. How can you use today's talent to learn what you will do in the future?" Shi Huang shook his head.

"I came across the sea, alone, poor minister... I have no parents, no brothers, no children, Your Majesty..." Zhao Si raised his head and looked at the smile of the first emperor who was facing the last emperor.

Got tricked again...

Zhao Si opened his mouth.

Just play it, as long as it doesn't cut everything.

The bullshit CRRC Fu orders whoever loves to beat you.

It was about the happiness of the lower body, Zhao Si didn't dare to say any more, and was completely honest.

The First Emperor didn't say anything more, he just signaled Zhao Si to put away the jade pendant, and then he bowed his head to deal with government affairs.

Zhao Si knelt aside respectfully and fell into deep thought again.

It was not until a long time later that Emperor Shi Huang heard a slightly disturbed voice.

"Your Majesty, the official is the official of CRRC. In the end, do you want to, um... cleanse yourself?"

"It was hard to say before, but it must be done in the future."

The First Emperor spoke without raising his head.
