Chapter 204: Great Qin Empire
In terms of surveillance, from highest to lowest:
Metropolitan Procuratorate (Central);
Punishment is to be raised according to the patrol of the Imperial History (province) dispatched by the Prosecutor's Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate;
The sentence is to be raised according to the province appointed by the Prosecutor's Department and the patrol sent by the Metropolitan Prosecutor's Yuan (place).
The Imperial Procuratorate was the highest supervisory body in the Ming Dynasty, responsible for supervision, impeachment, and discipline management.
The highest prefect is the left and right capital imperial history (Zheng Erpin).
The main subordinate members of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were 110 supervising imperial historians (Zheng Qipin), who worked in the province named after the province, so it was also called the thirteen supervising imperial history (the Ming Dynasty had a total of thirteen provinces).
The superintendent of the imperial history usually serves in the capital metropolitan inspection court, and if he is ordered to patrol the place, he will patrol the imperial history.
Although their official rank is only the seventh rank, their duty is to go out on patrol on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and they have the privilege of "judging big things and deciding small things", so they have a lot of authority.
In the provincial-level supervision system, in addition to the patrol sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there is also the Department of Procuratorial Envoys responsible for daily supervision, and the highest official is the Inspector (Zheng Sanpin)......
In terms of military affairs, the Ming Dynasty implemented the Wei system, and this aspect was completely abandoned.
Because the guard system could not meet the military combat requirements of the Great Qin Empire at all.
......
The new organizational structure of the Great Qin Empire prepared by Ying Zheng:
In terms of administration, we will continue to maintain the six-ministry system and refine subordinate departments;
In terms of supervision, the supervision system was maintained, and no deletions or additions were made;
In terms of military affairs, the guard system was abandoned and the conscription system was still maintained;
In addition, the civil and military prime ministers were added to oversee the administration and the military;
In the eastern corner of the Great Qin Empire, due to the initial determination of the empire, it was divided into five temporary prefectures in the southeast, northwest, and central regions, and the military and political affairs in the five directions were overseen.
There were many matters related to the founding of the Great Qin Empire, and Yingzheng and Pang Tong and other important ministers were busy for several months before it was completed.
In addition to the reform of the organizational structure, there was also an extremely important task of compiling the first "Great Qin Code" to replace the original "Shang Jun Law".
With the promotion of the Qin State from a small vassal state to the Great Qin Empire, many provisions of the original "Shang Monarch Law" are no longer applicable, and even seriously restrict the development of the Great Qin Empire.
Therefore, Ying Zheng decided to compile a new "Great Qin Code" to govern Great Qin.
The Great Qin Empire still maintained the concept of governing the country according to law.
Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, Li Si, Jia Xu, Fan Li and other top ministers all participated, plus hundreds of officials, and it took three months to complete.
Moreover, this "Great Qin Code" is only a temporary article, and it will be revised every year in the future, so as to make it more suitable for the needs of the development situation of the Great Qin Empire.
Everything was ready, and the founding ceremony of the Great Qin Empire was held three days later.
Except for Sima Yi, Guo Jia and some other officials who really couldn't leave, all the other major officials gathered in Xianyang, waiting for the grand, grand and historic founding ceremony of the Great Qin Empire three days later.
Li Si, Huyan Yuer, Bai Qi, Xue Rengui, Qi Jiguang, Meng Tian, etc. also came.
Time to three days later.
With the solemn and majestic sound of the trumpet, the sound of ritual music resounded inside and outside the city of Xianyang, the civil and military officials entered the Zhangtai Palace through the palace gate, and were listed outside the Qilin Palace.
After a series of tedious rituals such as sacrificing to the sky, Ying Zheng, who was dressed in imperial clothes, wearing an imperial crown, and hanging an imperial sword from his waist, was extraordinary, noble, and domineering, as if all living beings were going to prostrate at his feet.
Ying Zheng stepped into the Qilin Hall and ascended to the throne of the Golden Dragon Emperor.
"Meet the First Emperor, long live, long live, long live!" all the civil and military and concubines of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down and shouted.
Its sound is overwhelming and deafening.
Ying Zheng sat on the throne of the Golden Dragon Emperor, and at this moment his blood was also boiling and his pride was stirring.
The Great Qin Empire was finally established.
However, this is only the first step taken in the battle for hegemony in the gods, and then there is a stage that is a hundred times wider and a thousand times wider than the east corner waiting for him.
"All Aiqing, beauties!" Ying Zheng stretched out his hands and said.
"Your Majesty Xie!" the ministers and concubines said before they stood up.
Next, Ying Zheng opened a volume of yellow edicts and began to read out the founding speech of the Great Qin Empire:
"Dear ministers and beauties,
Since the Zhou room was weak, the world was in chaos, the vassal states were separated from morality, and they fought each other to benefit the world, and the people lived in dire straits.
With the favor of heaven, I raised an army in Xirong, worked hard, tried my courage, established the law, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment, the army was well-trained, and the army was dispatched to crusade against various countries, and the merit of military might was promoted, so that I could annex all the vassal states of the Central Plains and save the people of the eastern corner from fire, water and upside down.
From then on, the world was unified, God threatened and subdued the world, the world did not surrender, and I was able to sit on the world.
The Great Qin Empire was established, the country name was Daqin, and the emperor was the first emperor, and my descendants from the second and third generations to the ten thousand generations, the emperor's land will always belong to my Ying family, and no one wants to touch it.
Since the unification of the East, I have decided to divide the world into 36 provinces (provinces), and I will unify the use of laws, ideas, weights and measures, vehicle specifications, and writing.
Today, at this great historical moment, I announce that the Great Qin Empire has been officially established!"
After Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng read out the founding speech, he was a meritorious person.
Bai Qi was named the Duke of Wu'an, Pang Tong was the Duke of Fengxiao, Xue Rengui was the Duke of Xue, Sima Yi was the Duke of Tianhu, and Zhuge Liang was the Duke of Wolong......
The knighthood is canonized according to the five grades of duke, marquis, uncle, male and son.
This time, Qin Shi Huang canonized a total of 18 princes, 36 marquises, 72 counts, 144 barons, and 288 viscounts.
The total number of knighthoods is more than 500.
However, these heroes who were knighted did not have fiefs.
By virtue of their titles, they receive a large special allowance from the State Treasury each year, which can be passed on to future generations, but the allowance is reduced by one level for each generation.
The state lord received 200,000 taels of silver from the treasury every year, the marquis received 100,000 taels of silver, and the earl received 50,000 taels of silver...... The allowance for the next tier is half that of the previous tier.
In a year, the treasury will spend 18 million taels of silver on these princes, marquises, etc.
In addition to the silver taels, these knighthood recipients also have many other benefits.
They are all meritorious ministers of the Great Qin Empire, and the First Emperor Yingzheng will naturally not treat them badly.
Of course, after the disaster of the thirty-six wealthy clans of Great Qin in the past, Yingzheng would not let these dukes, marquises, earls, etc. be divided.
In the future, even if they bought the land themselves, they had to pay the same taxes as the rest of the people.
After the canonization of meritorious officials, the next step is to appoint new positions.
There are two prime ministers, namely Pang Tong on the left and Zhuge Liang on the right.
There are two prime ministers of Wu, respectively, Bai Qi, the prime minister of the left of Wu, and the general of the right of Wu, and Meng Hu, the prime minister of Wu.
Li Si, the secretary of the ministry, Xue Rengui, the secretary of the military department, Fan Li, the secretary of the household department, and the secretary of the Ministry of Industry are Lu Ban......
When Qin Shi Huang completed the appointment, a series of matters related to the founding ceremony of the Great Qin Empire were completed.
