Da Qin: Mythology and Immortal Cultivation, Starting with the Lu Sisters

Chapter 23 Sorry, Prime Minister!
the next day.

Xianyang Palace.

"Master, this is the palace."

Meng Tian was ordered to welcome Zhao Chen from the Immortal Palace to the palace and lead him into the main hall of the court.

He cannot call Zhao Chen sir. When he is outside, it is polite and respectful to address him by his official title.

"General Meng, wait a moment."

When Zhao Chen got off the carriage and saw Meng Tian preparing to lead the way, he also continued:

"Please also lead a horse and accompany me to the main hall of the court."

Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, why was he leading a horse during this court meeting?
Could it be that the other party wants to use this horse to travel in the palace?

He thought for a moment and said tactfully:

"National Master, there is a special chariot in the palace to take you to the court meeting."

Therefore, there is no need to bring a horse.

At present, there is no independent horse that can be brought into the palace.

Zhao Chen smiled, knowing what the other party meant, and said:

"It can be used in the court meeting."

This cannot be explained directly.

There has to be some suspense left, so that the civil and military officials can be a little shocked in the court.

After Meng Tian thought for a moment, he understood what the Great Qin Imperial Master meant.

This will obviously be helpful in solving the problem of annihilating the Xiongnu, so this horse must be brought in.

"Yes, national teacher."

Meng Tian specially chose a tall and majestic horse and led it towards the palace.

……

In the main hall of the court, many civil and military officials have already arrived on both sides.

"Have you heard?"

"Your Majesty, it seems that you want to find a new official position."

"It's natural. Yesterday, I stayed up all night, specializing in making official seals and uniforms."

"That level is higher than the Prime Minister!"

"It seems that the new official position is the Imperial Preceptor of Great Qin. It seems that our Prime Minister Wang is expected to be promoted to the Imperial Preceptor!"

Many civil and military officials began to whisper.

Although the time for this happened was very tight, some ministers did not know that new official positions would be added.

However, some ministers will be exposed to corresponding situations, which will make them aware of the general situation.

Great Qin Imperial Master, with such a title, it is simply a great honor.

At this moment, Prime Minister Wang Wan, who has high hopes from many civil servants, is a little baffled.

Why didn't he know that there would be a new official position, which would be the Grand Master of the Qin Dynasty?

In fact, not to mention Prime Minister Wang Wan, even people like Yushi Feng Jie or Taiwei Li Si did not know about this situation at all.

Prime Minister Wang Wanhuan looked around, but there were no clues.

"really weird."

He didn't know much about the Great Qin Imperial Master.

However, he knew that the next person to succeed him as prime minister was Li Si, who had now been promoted to the position of Taiwei.

He is quite old and it is time for him to retire and return to his hometown.

At this time, outside the court hall, General Meng Tian and a strange young man walked directly in.

Under the gaze of many people, General Meng Tian led the young man to the front of Prime Minister Wang Wan, and immediately wanted to return to the front line of generals.

"General Meng!"

The civil servant standing behind Prime Minister Wang Wan was startled when he saw this scene, and then hurriedly shouted to Meng Tian: "Are you standing in the wrong position?"

That is the prime minister who is the leader of the three princes. Someone dares to stand in front of the other party. How treasonous!

Even though Prime Minister Wang Wan is old, he cannot withstand such humiliation.

Meng Tian stopped and looked at the speaker. He thought for a moment and said to the dark-faced Prime Minister Wang Wan:
"Prime Minister Wang, this is His Majesty's arrangement. If anything happens, you will naturally know it when the court meeting begins later."

No matter what, there is no need to offend Wang Wan.

At this age, the other person is also about to retire.

There is no need to cause misunderstanding between each other.

"His Majesty?"

Wang Wan was stunned and began to look at Zhao Chen.

The other party was dressed in white brocade clothes and looked very young.

No matter how he looks, he doesn't look like a big shot.

What kind of young man deserves so much attention from the First Emperor Ying Zheng?

You know, his position is already high enough.

and many more.

Prime Minister Wang Wan looked at the position of the dragon chair above. There was actually a throne placed next to it. He was shocked. Who could sit next to His Majesty the First Emperor! ?
Since the establishment of the Qin Empire, there has never been such a situation.

Could it be this young man?
"Ding! Trigger a new sign-in task: show your power in the court. Based on this, you can get a chance to sign in!"

A system prompt sounded in Zhao Chen's ears. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and then he turned his head and looked at the gray old man.

He looked up and down and found that Prime Minister Wang Wan's presence in history was not very strong, and the final outcome was unclear.

The record that can be found is that after the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms, the other party advocated using the "Emperor Tai" among the three emperors as the emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng.

At that time, Li Si, the court lieutenant, and Feng Jie, the imperial censor doctor, both believed that "Emperor Tai" was the most suitable for Ying Zheng.

However, Ying Zheng was not satisfied. He believed that he was more meritorious than the Five Emperors, so he chose to choose "Emperor" as his imperial title. He would be named the First Emperor for the next two, three, and all generations.

Another incident also left a significant mark in history for Prime Minister Wang Wan.

That is, Prime Minister Wang Wan advocated the enfeoffment system, enfeoffing the princes, clans, and heroes of the First Emperor Yingzheng to remote places such as Yan, Qi, and Zhao, so that the hometowns of these vassal states could be better integrated into the Qin Dynasty. , there will be no possibility of disintegration, and the stability of the empire will be maintained.

Of course, theoretically speaking, the enfeoffment system advocated by Wang Wan was not implemented in all places in the Qin Dynasty.

Just to better control those remote places, this method of enfeoffment was adopted.

However, Tingwei Li Si, who had shared the same views with Prime Minister Wang Wan in the past, stood up and changed Prime Minister Wang Wan's suggestion by saying that the Zhou Dynasty was enfeoffing the princes. As a result, the First Emperor Ying Zheng did not approve of the enfeoffment system. I am worried that there will be a situation like the Zhou Dynasty's split and separatism.

At this time, the system of prefectures and counties proposed by Tingwei Li Si was approved by the First Emperor Ying Zheng, who directly implemented the system of prefectures and counties and divided the world into 36 prefectures.

"Counties" have county governors, county lieutenants, and supervisory censors, who are responsible for administrative, military and supervisory responsibilities.

"County" consists of county magistrate, county lieutenant and county magistrate.

County governors and county magistrates were appointed and removed by the emperor, which greatly strengthened the centralization of power in the imperial court, improved local control, broke the feudal and separatist situation since the Zhou Dynasty, and stabilized Qin's unification of the world.

These two incidents are the traces left by Prime Minister Wang Wan in history.

The rest of the matter is unknown.

To be able to become the prime minister, Wang Wan's ability must be beyond words.

However, the other party is a relatively conservative one and represents the interests of the Xianyang aristocracy.

and, above all, the numerous interests of civil servants.

If you want to complete the sign-in task, show your authority in the court, and stand on this, you must get the approval of these civil and military officials.

The starting point is to make him recognize that Zhao Chen, the Grand Master of the Qin Dynasty, is absolutely qualified.

At this time, you have to choose a goal.

Sorry, Prime Minister!
Zhao Chen turned around and looked at the gray old man Wang Wan, with a meaningful smile on his face, and took the initiative to say:

"Prime Minister Wang, are you curious as to why Your Majesty asked me to stand in front of you?"
