Da Qin: Rebuked the dissatisfied ministers, held the sword towards the emperor at the beginning

Chapter 137 Go against the sky!

no doubt.

Li Si's political divisions in terms of political power and decision-making power were more acute.

Li Si was not surrounded by Yin Lie at all...

But he hit the nail on the head.

Deliberative power is actually equivalent to decision-making power.

As long as the cabinet bachelors have the opportunity to speak, they have the ability to influence the implementation of national policies.

The best example is Yin Lie...

It stands to reason that if Yin Lie's official position of censor Cheng is placed in front of the left and right prime ministers and the three ministers and nine ministers, it really doesn't even count.

But Yin Lie still managed to effectively influence the implementation and development of imperial policies.

of course.

Then again.

Li Si used Yin Lie himself as an example. In fact, he had some debating skills of using the opponent's spear and attacking the opponent's shield.

After all, Yin Lie was able to admonish minor officials and thus influence the development of the empire. This was because Yin Lie was a time traveler and had a deep understanding of the thoughts of various schools of thought.

His literary talent is astonishing, his mental arithmetic is savvy, and he is a talented scholar of the country!
Once these three prerequisites are revealed...

Looking at the entire history of Qing Dynasty, those who can compare with Yin Lie are either born unknown like Lao Tzu, a dragon that sees its beginning but not its end.

As for joining the WTO...

In Yin Lie's view, Wei Liaozi should be one of the most virtuous people in the world, and he could make the most of the layout of heavenly affairs.

But Wei Liaozi still didn't dare to follow Yin Lie's way of faith.

Go against the sky!

Man conquers the sky.

Therefore: There is no one like Yin Lie before, and there may not be anyone in the future.

It does not have any reference value.

……

In the middle of Zhangtai Hall.

Yin Lie faced Li Si's attack.

He emphasized again: "Prime Minister Li, as you said, as long as the cabinet academicians have deliberation power, they will also have decision-making power..."

"However, I dare to ask today's meeting, among the princes in the Zhangtai Hall, who among you is not allowed to speak?"

"In the empire's major court discussions, everyone has been able to express his or her own opinions since ancient times, and rationality comes first!"

……

Yin Lie understood that he could not directly refute Li Si's argument that deliberation power is decision-making power.

But he can retort in a roundabout way...

In fact, all the princes of the Manchu Dynasty present today are present to discuss political power.

however.

There are only a handful of people who can truly transform the power of discussion into decision-making power.

All of them are leaders of various factions, even leaders.

Ordinary officials.

Regardless of ability, vision, and knowledge!
The first thing they have to do is to speak in agreement.

That is: Yin Lie said something official that Li Si could not refute on the stage.

At the court meeting, all important ministers can speak freely.

But in fact.

The rules of the court are still there like a mountain.

For example, the foreigner noble faction...

The attitude of Left Prime Minister Li Si is the overall direction of the foreign guest noble faction.

Li Si, the left prime minister, was on Yin Lie's side just now, and the foreigner faction will speak for Yin Lie.

But once Li Si's position changed.

The entire foreign guest faction will also make changes immediately.

otherwise.

After going to court, Li Si will immediately punish those who disobey to death...

But the cabinet bachelor is different.

The Cabinet Grand Masters belong to a small group that is independent from the current bureaucracy... and represents the emperor's will.

more importantly……

The existence of the cabinet intervened between the prime minister and the emperor!
Note, this is the most important thing!
For example, the Shangshutai in the Han Dynasty was actually an inconspicuous place at first.

As a result, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said that the memorial must be sorted out by the Chancellor before being presented to the emperor.

Just this one more procedure.

Shangshutai immediately became famous and became a real power sect.

And the power of the prime minister was naturally suppressed by the ebb and flow of the other.

and so.

The cabinet system proposed by Yin Lie.

It will inevitably weaken the power of the left and right prime ministers.

But in order to reduce the resistance of Li Si and Wang Wan, Yin Lie could only rely on his sharp tongue to deceive...

Anyway, they just kept throwing out the power that the cabinet had, and everyone in the dynasty had it.

On the contrary, the cabinet also imposed many restrictions.

Yin Lie only took into account the emperor's hard work and specially established a system of cabinet assistance.

"Prime Minister Li, the cabinet academicians only have some say in the national policy matters that they are responsible for. If this can lead to the development of a second Prime Minister Lu, please forgive me for disagreeing."

Yin Lie said sophistry.

In fact, Yin Lie, as a time traveler, knows it very well.

Sooner or later, the cabinet will become a place where the power of the bureaucratic group is concentrated, and then the chief minister of the cabinet will develop as powerful as the prime minister.

But Yin Lie would never admit it.

Because no matter what.

The cabinet system is better than re-employing the prime minister to assist the government.

It's just that the power of Da Qin's left and right ministers is too huge now, and Yin Lie can't be tough directly. He can only deceive in roundabout ways...

Just build the prototype of the cabinet first.

The subsequent cabinet itself will continue to take advantage of this situation to centralize power until the power of the prime minister is completely eliminated.

Yin Lie predicts that this process will last for a hundred years.

If the empire still hasn't collapsed by then.

Then Da Qin will have a situation where the cabinet will lead the government.

As for whether there is any way.

We must take precautions against the actual power of the chief minister and ministers of the cabinet.

Yin Lie just wants to say that there is really no good way.

Since ancient times, officials have always stayed together to keep warm, and then instinctively balanced each other with the imperial power, military commanders, factions, etc.

If the civil servants are weak.

Then there are nothing more than two situations.

Imperial power returned to its founding peak.

Either that or the general's power is starting to get out of control.

note.

To a certain extent, the loss of control by military officers is more terrifying than the theft of power by civilian officials.

For example, Dong Zhuo of later Eastern Han Dynasty entered Beijing.

For example, during the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, the people went to Luo with their swords in hand and turned from prosperity to decline.

therefore.

During his reign, it was normal for the emperor to reuse some civil servants.

this time.

In the civil servant system, the prime minister's power is the core, or the cabinet is the core...

Then Yin Lie must choose the cabinet.

It's still the same sentence.

Although the cabinet system is not perfect, it is the best choice for Da Qin at the moment.

It is also the general development trend of the entire bureaucracy in the future.

"Qin Yucheng, everyone is present at the meeting of political power."

Li Si still stared at one important point and said: "But not everyone has the special position of the cabinet!"

Li Si mentioned the location again.

That is to say, the cabinet is too close to the emperor and has deliberation power.

Li Si knew with his toes that this future would definitely have a great impact on him and Wang Wan.

But Li Si really couldn't explain it clearly.

Because it's too straightforward.

Instead, they became the ones who wanted to hold on to power regardless of the emperor's health.

"Prime Minister Li, the biggest role of the cabinet is to further reduce His Majesty's burden. Don't work too hard."

Yin Lie paused and continued: "As for the position in the cabinet, it must be ranked after Prime Minister Li and the Right Prime Minister."

"After all, Prime Minister Li and the Right Prime Minister can be responsible for daily political affairs, such as the promotion and demotion of local officials and subordinate officials. The implementation of national policies is also handled by the cabinet, Prime Minister Li and the Right Prime Minister."

"If His Majesty is not satisfied with the first version of the solution, you can point out a direction, let the cabinet re-discuss and draft it, and then submit it to Prime Minister Li and the Right..."

……

Yin Lie broke down the process of cabinet administration in more detail.

Anyway, the cabinet will not bypass the left and right ministers and report directly to the emperor.

Because doing this is really too much.

It is clear that I want to evade the left and right.

Then Li Si and Wang Wan would definitely not be willing.But what Yin Lie means now is...the cabinet will do the work, and the left and right ministers will take the lead in taking the credit.

If it is done well, it means that His Majesty has given good guidance and understood the Holy Will of the leadership.

If it is not done well, it will naturally mean that the cabinet master did something wrong, and he will either have to go back and re-draw it, or he will be directly held accountable...

As such.

After careful consideration, Li Si.

He also felt that this plan was relatively acceptable.

There are indeed many political affairs in Da Qin now.

The First Emperor was a very hands-on person and had to ask about everything.

this time.

There was a cabinet standing by to give advice on sorting things out.

The First Emperor only needed to control the general direction and the measures to deal with specific national policies, which was tantamount to greatly reducing the emperor's burden.

of course.

After all.

Li Si was also afraid of exhausting Ying Zheng.

Most of Lao Li's power comes from Ying Zheng.

Something was really going to happen to Ying Zheng. He was once the emperor and a minister of the court. Li Si asked himself that it would be difficult for him to be a veteran of two dynasties.

In contrast.

Wang Wan's background is strong enough, but she doesn't have as much of a sense of crisis as Li Si.

"Well...we can discuss the specific cabinet resolution process later."

Although Li Si was very satisfied with Yin Lie's continuous regression, he still did not immediately recognize the cabinet system, but left a special comment.

Followed by.

Li Si turned around and said: "What I'm curious about now is, Qin Yucheng, who will you recommend to serve as cabinet bachelor? You won't be the one to take the lead!"

Obviously!

It is impossible for Li Si to make Yin Lie a cabinet bachelor.

Yin Lie was now the most popular person before the First Emperor came to the throne, but due to many reasons such as his qualifications and position, it was difficult for the First Emperor to appoint him as an official.

That is to say: Yin Lie is an important official with no real name.

But once Yin Lie entered the cabinet, he became the top scholar in the cabinet.

That is real and famous.

Lao Li said that by the time he and Wang Wan were tied together, they might not be enough for Yin Lie.

You must come with caution.

then.

When Li Si asked about the recruitment of the cabinet.

all of a sudden.

All the princes and horses in the court were attentive.

Reform of the official system.

For middle- and lower-level officials, this is not an opportunity!
at the same time.

"..."

Ying Zheng still did not express his position, but watched with interest as Yin Lie interacted with Li Si and Wang Wan.

In his heart, he proposed a cabinet system to Yin Lie to reduce his burden...

Ying Zheng felt quite relieved.

There is a sense of family affection that has been lost for a long time.

It was very rare for Ying Zheng to have his mind wander during the meeting and turn to think about other things.

Look at Queen Mother Zhao Ji again...

She definitely supports the cabinet system proposed by Yin Lie without any brain.

And she still couldn't figure out why Li Si and Wang Wan reacted so strongly.

What's there to object to?

You are not bypassed when reporting political affairs, and the rank of the cabinet bachelor is so low that he is on the same level as the palace chief.

Isn't it equivalent to having a few more palace chiefs around the emperor who can give advice?
Zhao Ji didn't understand how Li Si and Wang Wan could jump as high as a cat with its tail stepped on...

however.

Zhao Ji ignored it.

The palace chief did not discuss political power.

At best, Chang Shi could express his opinions on corresponding political matters in private, when the emperor asked him to do so.

In public places such as court meetings.

Chang Shi can only be a loudspeaker for announcing edicts.

Besides.

Nothing else.

On the other hand, the bachelor of the cabinet is not only close to the emperor, but also has the authority to discuss political power...

Seems to be of lower grade.

But in fact……

The gap between the chief historian and the cabinet bachelor is really too big.

And over time.

The power of the cabinet will continue to rise, and the cabinet bachelor will naturally be more difficult to touch with the long history.

Back to this moment.

In the middle of the hall.

All officials and princes are waiting to see how Yin Lie will explain the selection of cabinet members.

Yin Lie expressed this...

"It's simple."

Yin Lie raised his hands and looked at the First Emperor and said: "The members of the cabinet are appointed by the emperor, as well as the specific number. Everything is personally assessed and decided by your majesty. The first thing you need is to be talented and knowledgeable, and there is no greater understanding of the various national policies currently implemented by the Qin Dynasty. Big misunderstanding."

"As for origin, I don't think we need to think too much about it."

"After all, the cabinet bachelor needs to assist His Majesty in handling many state affairs on a daily basis. He must be real and practical. I will never allow such nonsense to be gilded in the cabinet."

"Finally, I am still the Yushi Cheng of the Yushitai, and I will not hold the official position of cabinet bachelor."

……

Yin Lie gave a very sufficient answer.

There are only four words for the selection criteria for cabinet bachelors: meritocracy!

And they must be selected and appointed by the emperor himself.

In order to eliminate the idea that some people want to be in the cabinet and make up for the number.

As for Yin Lie personally...

He knew that he had to avoid suspicion.

The Guanzhong Xungui Faction and the Junwu Xungui Faction were staring at him, making it impossible for Ying Zheng to reward Yin Lie lavishly after the Dongjun meteorite case.

Ying Zheng even persuaded Yin Lie to go out for a period of time.

Wait for this period of time to pass.

Ying Zheng re-employed Yin Lie...

no way.

As the emperor, Ying Zheng carried out a great purge of the Junwu Xungui faction, but he could not chill the Junwu Xungui faction and the Guanzhong Xungui faction.

Guanzhong Civil and Military will always be Ying Zheng's right-hand man.

If Ying Zheng blindly indulges and favors Yin Lie...

The fate of the God of War Wu Qi is the best example.

As soon as something happened to the King of Chu, Wu Qi was immediately shot and killed in the mourning hall of the King of Chu.

The military and military elite faction of Great Qin was even more aggressive, which made them anxious...

Even if the First Emperor wanted to protect him.

Yin Lie was also unable to gain a foothold in Xianyang.

Some people may say that as long as the First Emperor protects us, shouldn't we go sideways in the Qin Dynasty?

In fact it is...

Guanzhong Xianyang is also the home ground of Guanzhong Xungui Faction and Junwu Xungui Faction.

It really made these people anxious.

Rabbits bite people!

however.

Yin Lie's next measures to reform the official system seemed to inevitably touch the absolute bottom line of important ministers such as the three ministers and nine ministers.

"Your Majesty's assessment is indeed fair."

Right Prime Minister Wang Wan nodded casually.

Anyway, after going around and around, they still need to recommend talents to the emperor...

This is enough.

There is no way around their big circle.

Li Si didn't object when he heard this, because the foreigners' noble faction was generally higher than the Guanzhong noble faction in terms of talents and abilities.

If we only talk about true talent and practical learning.

Li Si said that the talents he recommended were definitely worthy of his recommendation.

Just when all the princes in the dynasty had their own thoughts.

Yin Lie struck while the iron was hot and announced the second measure to reform the official system. He said: "After the cabinet system, I also propose the implementation of the internal and external dynasty system..."

Internal and external dynasty system!
Clarify the authority and responsibilities of the three ministers and nine ministers.

Completely put an end to corruption in the name of the First Emperor...

Yin Lie wants to give Great Qin's court a completely new look!
