Chapter 15 The Opening of the House
In other words, although the emperor's Zhao book said that the mansion was opened on the same day, it took half a month for the prime minister's mansion to be opened, and this was renovated with LΓΌ Buwei's old prime minister's mansion.
In the Qin period, the so-called Kaifu was not just for residence, its role was mainly to open the government independently, and there were several offices in the Prime Minister's Mansion according to the system, the number varied, depending on the need.
The effect of this is to significantly enhance the status and role of institutions and officials in the political system as a whole.
In terms of power relations, he was only controlled by the emperor, not by other bureaucrats, including other prime ministers.
In other words, this is to better carry out the legal reform, and at the same time, it fully reflects the relative independence and importance of the legal reform in the entire power system.
On the day of the opening of the mansion, Yingzheng personally invited Li Yang to ride six horses together, that is, the dragon chariot pulled by six white horses.
The dragon chariot and horse honor guard are mighty, the black flag and black armor forbidden army are majestic and open the road, and the people on both sides of the road are full of people who are watching the heat, and they rush straight to the prime minister's mansion, which is very magnificent.
On this day, all the people in Xianyang City stood on both sides of the road and watched, and at the same time, they were also looking forward to the upcoming Qin Law Reform. Because in the past ten days, everyone has heard the rumors that the newly appointed Chinese Prime Minister Li Yang wants to change to the rule of law with leniency, which can be described as a great thing that the people have been dreaming of.
Sitting in the dragon chariot, Ying Zheng asked: "Li Xiang, my Great Qin chaos depends on you, although you boldly change, boldly change, as long as I am here, you don't need to worry about anything." β
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Yang nodded in gratitude, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Your Majesty, if the minister says that the world of Great Qin is also the world of the people of Great Qin, what does Your Majesty think?" β
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Why did Li Xiang ask this question?" β
Li Yang saluted and said seriously: "I hope that Your Majesty will answer the ministers." β
Ying Zheng glanced at Li Yang curiously, although he didn't know what Li Yang's intention was when he asked, but seeing that Li Yang was so solemn, he had no choice but to reply seriously: "Although this Great Qin is my world, it can indeed be said to be the world of all the people in the world, which is also the reason why the widow let you change your law." If all the people in the world can really love the law, abide by the law, and protect the law, then Daqin will be able to worry about it for eternity. β
After hearing this, Li Yang nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "If the law restricts Your Majesty's imperial power, may I ask Your Majesty, is it the imperial power that comes first, or the law comes first?" β
Ying Zheng frowned: "Your law wants to restrain the widow?" β
Li Yang was not afraid, and said with a straight face: "In the future, this matter is inevitable!" β
Ying Zheng stared at Li Yang for a few seconds, and then said, "As long as it is for the sake of the Great Qin River, even if the widow is subject to some constraints, it is fine!" Li Xiang, what else do you have to worry about, just ask it once! β
"There is no more problem with the minister!" Li Yang really admired this Qin Shi Huang in his heart, and as he became close to this Shi Huang, he found that this person was completely different from the records in history.
The first emperor recorded in history is "a storm through the ages". Expropriation and expropriation, poverty and luxury, violence and indiscriminate killing, treating the people like ants.
However, for such a historical evaluation, Li Yang today does not think so.
On the contrary, he felt that Yingzheng was a generation of wise men with ideals, ambitions, and the people of the world in his heart.
Ying Zheng is a tyrant who kills indiscriminately, how can he say that the world is the world of all people? How could he say that as long as it is for the sake of the Great Qin River, even if he is constrained by the law, he will not hesitate to do it?
Moreover, since the reunification, he has abolished the division of feuds politically, implemented the county system, and realized a centralized government. Economically, the degree, measure, and balance are unified. In order to develop the national land transportation, the implementation of "car on the same track", the construction of gallop roads and straight roads; The excavation of the spiritual canal connecting the Xiangjiang River and the Lijiang River, and the unification of the written language in terms of culture, these measures are not only conducive to consolidating the unity of the Qin Dynasty, but also conducive to the economic and cultural exchanges and development of various places, and even have a far-reaching impact on later generations.
The first emperor who can do such a thing is not a king who only understands tyranny, but more like a king through the ages.
However, Li Yang was relieved when he thought about it, most of the reason why Yingzheng was blackened by history was due to the short life of the Qin State.
The Qin State was destroyed after more than ten years of unification, and before it even had time to write its history, the world changed its surname to Liu, and the new owner wanted to blacken Qin Shi Huang in order to justify his name.
In addition, the first emperor burned books and pit Confucianism, and the Confucian scholars who wrote history books later were even more able to be black, and all their achievements could be erased.
After 800 years of smearing in the Han Dynasty, people in later generations can still know from the history books that the first emperor did those immortal exploits, which is enough to show that the first emperor's exploits are so great that it is difficult to erase them all even if they are blackened.
Thinking of this, Li Yang took a deep look at the Qin Shi Huang in front of him, and under his majestic and confident temperament, it was difficult to hide the fatigue of working for the country.
"Why does Li Xiang look at the widow like this?" Ying Zheng felt Li Yang's strange eyes and couldn't help asking.
Li Yang was stunned for a moment, and then took a deep look: "The minister was moved by what His Majesty said just now. Everyone in the world says that His Majesty likes tyranny and is a tyrant, but in fact, the world does not understand Your Majesty, and in the eyes of the ministers, Your Majesty is a Ming monarch who is difficult to come out of a thousand years! β
Ying Zheng was very pleased, Li Yang's words really went to the bottom of his heart, his eyes were red, and he said with emotion: "In this world, there are people who understand widows, and there is Li Xiang alone, which is enough!" β
Li Yang could feel that Ying Zheng was revealing his true feelings, and his heart was also warm, and he said with a firm face: "From today onwards, the minister will make every effort to complete the reform of Qin Law!" On another day, this day will be as His Majesty wishes! β
"Good! The widow will wait and see, waiting for you to fulfill today's promise as soon as possible! Hahaha......"
Ying Zheng laughed and patted Li Yang's shoulder with satisfaction, he really had high hopes for Li Yang.
"Minister, I will live up to Your Majesty's trust!"
Li Yang saluted again.
"Well, the widow believes in you."
Ying Zheng smiled, and then seemed to remember something, and said: "Also, Zuo Prime Minister Li Si came to recommend to the widow a few days ago, and wanted to transfer his son Li You to your account, do you think you need this person?" β
When Li Yang heard this, he immediately nodded: "Yes, of course you have to use it." β
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Then transfer him to serve as the protector of the army, in charge of Yulin, and be responsible for enforcing the law and protecting the law." β
Li Yang nodded, feeling that Ying Zheng's arrangement was also very appropriate.
The Central Protector Army is the official name of the senior military governor, among which the positions of the Central Protector, the Central Leader, the Central Supervision Army, the Central Protector Army, and other positions are in charge of the Forbidden Army and the Yulin Army, presiding over the selection of military attachΓ©s and supervising and controlling the generals, so it is very important.
And Li You, although he is the county guard of Sanchuan County, is also the general of Daqin, so it is also common sense to be transferred to the Zhonghu Army. More importantly, Li You is the son of Li Si, and he is responsible for enforcing the law and protecting the law, and people at all levels of the yamen do not dare to resist.
Ying Zheng saw that Li Yang was fine, so he said: "Also, now is the time for you to employ people, I will also transfer Meng Yi to you, and he will be your right-hand man in the future." β
Qin Shi Tingwei is in charge of the highest judicial department of Qin, one of the nine Qings. There is a prison in the Imperial Governor's Office, which is called the Imperial Commander's Prison, and if the minister is guilty, he will be sent to the Imperial Lieutenant Prison.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Yang is very grateful, and it can be said that Yingzheng's appointment arrangement is paving the way for him and alleviating the resistance to change.
Li You also said earlier that he is Li Si's son, and Meng Yi is Meng Tian's younger brother, so Yingzheng asked Meng Yi to transfer him to use it, just so that the reform of the law can also be supported by the military system. In this way, Li Yang's legal reform will have no resistance on both the military and political sides.
At this moment, the car stopped, and then Zhao Gao said outside the car: "Your Majesty, it's here!" β
At this time, in front of a large prime minister's mansion, hundreds of officials were already waiting quietly on both sides of the red carpet.
Ying Zheng walked out of Long Ran first, and Li Yang followed closely behind and stepped out of Long Ran.
Seeing that the emperor had arrived, the civil and military officials saluted one after another, and shouted in unison: "Ministers, welcome Your Majesty, welcome the Prime Minister!" β
With the shouts of the hundred officials, Ying Zheng grabbed Li Yang's hand and walked towards the Prime Minister's Mansion in front of him.
Suddenly, the accompanying court band started to play, and the opening ceremony of Li Yang's mansion officially began......
The opening ceremony is complicated and complicated, and simple and simple.
It is nothing more than sacrificing heaven and earth, and then the emperor announces the purpose of opening the mansion to the world, and at the same time let Li Yang say a bunch of loyal words to the world, and this opening ceremony is over.
After the emperor left with hundreds of officials, the ministers related to the supervision and law of the court all stayed in the meeting hall of the prime minister's mansion, divided into two columns, left and right.
At the entrance of the council hall, all the way out, there were all the guards of the Yulin sergeant.
During the Qin period, Yulin was also one of the forbidden troops, and was responsible for the safety of the emperor's travel. The main difference between them and the forbidden army guarding the palace is that they have a long feather on their helmets, and they are wearing black armor, which makes them look very imposing. Of course, the feathers on this helmet were actually used to add prestige to the emperor's travels. The reason why the Imperial Forest Army created by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in later generations is also known as Yulin is also due to the Qin period.
After Li Yang sat in the main seat of the chamber, Meng Yi and more than 20 other supervisors and law officials said in unison: "Please give instructions to Lord Zhongcheng!" β
