Chapter 144: The Cabinet of Six Ministries

You can see why I let Fusu kneel outside. The First Emperor asked.

At this time, although the ministers did not know what was happening, they all seemed to have a feeling of being fooled in their hearts. So they just kept their mouths shut and didn't speak.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the First Emperor said to Fusu, "Fusu, tell the ministers what you think." ”

"Father, the sons and daughters think that the official system of Great Qin is too corrupt. Daqin is like a wild horse, and the official system is the reins that bind this wild horse. When Da Qin was a young horse, we could use this set of reins to restrain him. But now that the wild horse has grown up, this set of reins can no longer restrain the wild horse. ”

"It is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country. We are fighting with the Huns, the Dayue people, and the Baiyue people. But in the eyes of the sons, if you go outside, you must first settle inside. Great Qin's biggest enemy is not these foreign races, Great Qin's enemy is ourselves. It was not these foreign races that destroyed Great Qin, but the people who were difficult to rule after the collapse of the system. ”

Fusu's words were sonorous and powerful, and the disadvantages of the Great Qin system were actually not seen by the Manchu civil and military forces, but not seen. Because of the change of the system, their interests will inevitably be harmed first. So keeping the status quo is best for them.

For a while, the entire court was silent. No one refuted Fusu, or they didn't know how to refute Fusu. As the saying goes, hit the snake and hit seven inches. What Fusu said happened to be Daqin's most fatal flaw. This is also something that every official is deliberately avoiding mentioning.

The First Emperor does not refer to Hu Hai who is a deer as a horse, in front of the First Emperor, you can not speak, you can be silent. But if you dare to open your eyes and tell nonsense, and deceive the First Emperor like a fool, you will inevitably suffer the wrath of thunder.

Everyone was silent, including Feng Quji. He should be regarded as the group of people standing at the top of the pyramid of Great Qin. If this pyramid is pushed from new, then everything will be full of unknowns.

However, it was indeed a good time to move to Fusu.

In Feng Quji's view, what Fusu just said can be said to be a complete denial of the merits of the first emperor. It is simply blatant to say that the first emperor's decision-making is wrong, and Fusu's political views at this time are completely opposite to the first emperor.

Feng Qujian gritted his back molars, as if he had made up his mind: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Fusu Gongzi said is true. The prince of Fusu is generous and benevolent, thinks about the people everywhere, and should be the face of a benevolent monarch. Our Great Qin official system has been used for hundreds of years, and if there is a better way to help the prince of Su, reform is not impossible. ”

After Feng Qujian finished speaking, seeing that the First Emperor did not react, he hurriedly glanced at the civil officials of his own faction, and immediately knelt down a third of the officials in the hall: "Your Majesty, you might as well listen to what Fusu Gongzi has to say." ”

Although these ministers didn't know what Feng Quji's move meant, they were from the faction of Prince Hu Hai. It's a good thing not to go down to impeach Fu Su, how can you still help Su say good things. Although he didn't understand it, Feng Quji, who was the brother who took the lead, had already stated that his little brothers could only follow the advice of the eldest brother.

This is the killing, Feng Quji seems to be telling the First Emperor at this time that Fusu is the face of a benevolent monarch, and we are all willing to listen to him. What he said, we are all willing to shout 666 in the back. A small half of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are people who help the Su, the situation is like this, the thing is like this, you are the emperor, you can do it yourself.

"Aiqing really wants to hear what Fusu said about the official system?" The First Emperor asked seriously.

Feng Qujian gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "Yes, the minister really wants to hear the high opinion of Fusu Gongzi." ”

"If the official system is reformed, Aiqing, the right minister, will not be able to sit still." The First Emperor asked again.

"Don't say that the position of the right minister, if the official reform is really powerful to Daqin, Weichen is sacrificing his life and not giving up." Feng Quji looked like he was for the country and the people.

Feng Quji also figured it out at this time, and his right phase was now just an ornament. Daqin's political affairs are Li Si's master from the inside out. I can't eat the food anyway, so instead of waiting to eat Li Si's leftovers, I should lift the table and serve the food anew. If you mess up the situation, you may suffer losses, but the most unlucky one must be Li Si.

In the words said, once the Fusu moved. In the future, if Hu Hai sits in that position, then he will be completely turned over.

"The system of Erchen is called the six-ministry cabinet system, and the system of three ministers and nine secretaries is abolished. Set up six departments: the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Punishment. The chief officials of the six departments are directly responsible to the emperor, and each department has one scholar and two attendants,"

"The Ministry of Officials is responsible for managing the removal, appointment, promotion, evaluation, etc., of civil officials. The household department is responsible for controlling all financial matters such as land, household registration, taxation, and income throughout the country. ”

"The Ministry of Rites is responsible for schools, imperial examinations, sacrifices, diplomacy and other matters."

"The Ministry of War controls the national military guards, and the military attaché is selected and awarded, which is concise. Promotion, selection, and assessment of military attachés. ”

The Criminal Department is responsible for the national penal decree and the examination of criminal names. Take control of prisons, jailers, and more. ”

"The Ministry of Works is the brothel of the national engineering affairs, and is in charge of civil engineering construction and artifact manufacturing. All civil engineering, hydraulic engineering, machine building, including munitions, ordnance manufacturing, etc. ”

The cabinet is the emperor's secretarial body, responsible for assisting the emperor in handling the chapters, and the cabinet has four scholars in addition to the first assistant and the second assistant. Whether it is the first assistant, the second assistant, or the university scholar, they only have the right to make suggestions, but not the right to make decisions. Fusu made the powers of the six ministries and the cabinet clear in one breath.

For a while, the entire court was even quieter, and even the wheezing voices of the ministers could be heard clearly.

Under this system, the ministers of the Manchu dynasty have been completely divided into two factions. Originally, all the power was concentrated in the hands of a few ministers at the top of the pyramid, and if it was according to Fusu, then Daqin would have changed from a pyramid model to a two-story small building model. The people at the top do not control absolute power, but on the contrary, the power is dispersed to the middle and lower officials.

Rights, it's something that everyone desires. Fusu's move was to distribute the rights of the minority to the majority. At this time, some middle-level officials were actually full of expectations.

"Fusu said this, whoever is in favor of it is against."

"Feng Qing, you must be in favor, right?" The First Emperor nodded slightly, a smile on his face.

At this time, the smile of the First Emperor was simply a demonic laugh in Feng Quji's eyes. At this time, he didn't know where to be fooled.

"Weichen, agree." Feng Qujian said stiffly, the expression on his face was like you took a piece of chocolate and ate it at first, but after taking a bite, you found that this TM was made into chocolate.

At this time, Feng Qujian was already difficult to ride a tiger. I said too many impassioned words before, but now I really can't change my words.

"Weichen, I think this system is far better than Daqin's current system, and Weichen agrees." Before everyone could speak, Meng Yi took the lead in speaking.

Meng Yi, and even the entire Meng clan, are undoubtedly the hardcore of the First Emperor. At this time, it is natural to see the meaning of the first emperor.

Li Si, Meng Yi, Feng Quji, the three giants of the Great Qin civil officials, two of them have already expressed their positions, and the rest depends on Li Si.
