Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 685: The position of Prime Minister (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

It's just that no one is better at solving political and people's livelihood issues than Fusu. 2000 years of history are in your mind. Once you encounter a problem, the corresponding solutions will immediately appear in your mind.

Fusu already had other feasible plans in mind at this time, but he did not speak out directly. Instead, he looked at the head of the household department in the court.

"Zhang Cang, you are in charge of household affairs and in charge of household registration and population affairs in the world. Why have you been so slow to report this important matter?"

Zhang Cang is really confused. He is in charge of the household department, but he has only just taken office.The information in this household department is the world's secret and must not be leaked. It will take a certain amount of time to grasp the situation. He really hasn't figured out the way to it yet.

"Your Majesty, I am very frightened. I have been in office for many days, and I still haven't memorized the ancient books of the Ministry of Household Affairs. I really don't have this judgment."

"Why not imitate Sikou and hold an important position while still being in charge of household affairs."

After hearing this, Meng Yi realized that the emperor was displeased.

It's just that Meng Yi really made an honest mistake. At this time, he realized that he had spoken harshly and apologized quickly.

"Your Majesty, I am frightened, and please forgive me. Before I became a court official, I have been responsible for the arrangement of household registration in the world for ten years. Now that the new dynasty has just been established, I also accidentally remembered this matter. , after many considerations and weighings, we decided to make a statement to the court, otherwise it would not be enough to attract the attention of the ministers in the court."

"I know that you always eat at home, but you are thinking about the affairs of the court in front of the case, and you want to share my worries. How can I blame you? Besides, today's matter is really a good one. Although the world is unified, but The world is no longer what it was 800 years ago. The land is ten times that of before, and the population is also the same. Things in the country are complicated and changeable, and involve too many areas."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness."

Now that Meng Yi said something wrong, everyone was watching the emperor's reaction to Meng Yi. Unexpectedly, the emperor did not take this matter to heart at all, which shows the emperor's respect and trust in Meng Yi.Naturally, the people standing in the court were not all honorable men. Seeing that Meng Yi said such bold and bold words without arousing the emperor's anger, they naturally became more jealous of Meng Yi because of this incident.

"On the first day of the new year, I will discuss this matter with you. There will be a court meeting in ten days. I want to hear your opinions. There are not enough strong men in Guanzhong, and this is a big matter. It must be decided early. In addition, it will be changed in the future. There is a big dynasty in ten days, and a small dynasty in five days. For those who have official titles in Xianyang, all those who have official titles in Xianyang will go to the Grand Palace for assembly; for those who are small, the three princes, nine ministers and four ministries will come to Zhangtai to discuss matters."

After hearing this, the generals couldn't help but feel angry. What did the emperor mean? After ten days of dynasty, they could only see the emperor three times a month.Aren't you afraid of alienation between monarch and ministers?

Li Xin was naturally not happy and was about to stand up and speak when he saw the second generation looking at their row.

"The generals of the empire will all enter the Duwei Mansion in the future and listen to Zhang Han's orders. Every three days, they will go to Zhangtai's back cabinet to discuss important military and political affairs."

This sentence alone already explains the status of the civil servants and generals in the DPRK.The dark clouds that had been floating in the general's mind dispersed at this moment, and a sense of suffocation naturally dissipated.

There was a rare loud sound in the court.

"only!"

As an emperor, if you cannot hold military power in your hands, the world will be in danger; but if you cannot balance the situation of the government, it will be difficult to stabilize the policy.But when it comes to the importance between the two, military power is naturally more important.

"My lords, do you have any other important matters?"

Everyone looked left and right, but it was Li Xin who stood up.

"Your Majesty, the last general Li Xin has a message."

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, at the end of last year, your Majesty ordered to continue the five-year new policy, with light corvees and low taxes, in order to reduce the burden on the officials and the people. I deeply agree. But I heard that a country cannot be without a king for a day, and the government cannot be without a king. There is no prime minister for a day. Without the leadership of the prime minister, how can we coordinate? And although the ministers are gathered in the court now, they really don’t know who should be the leader."

Usually when going to court, there is always someone leading the Yishan call. If the atmosphere in the court is tense, the prime minister will come out to say a word and settle the matter. For example, in the scene just now, the prime minister, as the emperor's first-in-command, will definitely stand up immediately. He reprimanded Meng Yi for his words and deeds, but for this period of time, he has been ignored. Without the prime minister, no one took the lead in going to court, and the atmosphere was a bit stiff.

No matter how good-tempered the emperor is, there is one thing that all the courtiers standing in the court bear in mind. The emperor is the supreme being. His words are as heavy as nine tripods.Under the emperor system, ministers could no longer discuss with the king as they did in the past.The distinction between hierarchy and hierarchy has become more and more strict from top to bottom, and ministers also need to find a sense of belonging. This is the role of the prime minister.

But for Fusu, when the new emperor ascends the throne, what he wants is that you are helpless and can only surrender to the emperor. If there is a prime minister standing in front of the ministers, the ministers will naturally help the prime minister resist the emperor himself.

The later the prime minister is appointed, the easier it will be to break up the collusion between courtiers, and partisan strife will be the norm.The Qin State has had two prime ministers since ancient times for the same reason, to check and balance each other.

It's just that now Fusu speaks alone and everyone has to listen, and he has understood the profession of emperor.However, those ministers who were accustomed to having the prime minister stand in front of them in everything are naturally not used to it now. They deeply feel that they have to think twice about everything they say in the court. This is just not possible without a backbone.

After hearing this, other people also sat upright and agreed:
"I would like to invite your Majesty to become prime minister."

"Since the founding of the Qin State, there have been many prime ministers in the Qin State, and none of them has made great contributions. But now I want to appoint a prime minister, but I don't know who should be appointed. Since all the ministers have come together to remonstrate, it can be seen that they have someone in mind. Chosen. I don’t know which one is worthy of this responsibility.”

After hearing this, all the ministers realized that in the eyes of the emperor, no one in the court was worthy of being the prime minister.

The ministers tried their best to ask for a chancellor, but they were blocked by the second emperor like he was playing cotton.

The court naturally fell into silence again.

The second generation then asked:

"Don't you have anyone from the Qing family to recommend? The prime minister is the head of all officials, and his position cannot be vacant for a long time."

Meng Tian took the lead and said:
"Your Majesty, I also observe that there is no one in the court who can hold the post of prime minister for the time being. But now, unlike in the past, your majesty has established four ministries, and all four ministries obey your majesty's orders and handle the affairs of each ministry respectively. Therefore, although there is no prime minister in the dynasty, However, there are no flaws in the political affairs of the DPRK, and I actually think that the matter of establishing the prime minister can be postponed."

When Meng Tian said this, he slapped many people in the court in the face.

They always thought that Meng Tian wanted to be the prime minister, but now he openly said that he was not in a hurry to become the prime minister, which made those who used to have small thoughts about Meng Tian feel ashamed.

"What the censor said is indeed reasonable, I don't know what the rest of you think."
