And Liang Pengfei's hand, naturally the whole country is shaken, many people who were not optimistic about Liang Pengfei are now gradually changing their views, many people who call themselves Qingliu celebrities, but also under the inspiration of Yuan Mei and Zhao Yi, the two world-famous celebrities, turned their attention to Liang Pengfei, who is now in power, and seems to be a little moved. 【Reading.com】

And those who originally resigned and retired because Liang Pengfei overthrew the Manchu Dynasty and seemed to want to see Liang Pengfei's jokes are also changing their minds, and through those who stayed in the officialdom, it seems that they want to go out again.

In 1796, at the end of the summer of the first year of the Chinese Century, almost all the famous gentry of the whole country were invited to participate in the founding ceremony held in Jiading, the capital of the Chinese Empire.

Looking at the scene of hundreds of thousands of people in the dark and oppressive on the imperial square, Liang Pengfei really had a shocking feeling that his body and mind seemed to have soared to the sky.

However, the following rituals made Liang Pengfei feel that he had come to suffer his mother's sins at all, sacrificing heaven and earth, announcing the establishment of the country, and meeting with the envoys who came to watch the ceremony...... From before the founding ceremony to after the founding ceremony, Liang Pengfei has been busy for more than a month, if it weren't for his good body, I'm afraid that he hasn't waited for the end of the matter, I'm afraid that he, the founding king, has been lying in the coffin to prepare for the funeral.

After completing the founding ceremony and enthronement ceremony, Liang Pengfei then built a political axe system, which should be said to be a transitional political axe system.

First of all, the original six ministries evolved into more than 20 ministries, such as the original Ministry of Household was split into the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Agriculture, etc...... In addition to those directly subordinate institutions, it took a whole year to clarify the names and functions of each department, and in addition, Liang Pengfei also set up a special department: the parliament.

The parliament was divided into the House of Lords and the House of Commons, with the House of Lords naturally elected by the gentry who were known and respected all over the world, and the House of Commons being chosen directly by the provinces. Of course, the part about the parliament is just a shelf, and when it comes to implementation, I am afraid that there will be no way to complete it in the past ten or twenty years, and it will take even longer, but at least there is a template. In the eighteenth century, there was a turning point in the political structure of Kyushu China, to paraphrase the words of a brazen guy: "I am helping the Chinese nation take off!" ”

Staggering...... The sound of light hooves echoed, and two tall horses were dragging a four-wheeled carriage with graceful gaits, running through a concrete avenue shaded by towering ancient trees.

The door of the carriage depicts a very conspicuous emblem, indicating that the carriage belongs to the Prime Minister of the Chinese Empire, and in the slightly empty carriage, Zhao Yi, who looks a little tired, and his proud disciple Wang Jing are sitting.

At this moment, Wang Jing looked at Zhao Yi who had closed his eyes a little apprehensively, as if he was in deep thought. "Teacher, this time is really hard for you, otherwise, I will tell Your Majesty and let you ......"

"No, what, do you think the old man is useless?" Zhao Yi rolled his eyelids, those eyes were still clear and sharp.

Hearing this, Wang Jing couldn't help but argue in a hurry: "Teacher, I didn't mean that, don't misunderstand the disciple." ”

"Hehe, the old man knows, it's just a little joke with you, to tell the truth, the old man has been more tired than the previous decades of his life combined, and he has worked hard, but the old man thinks it's worth it, no matter what, the old man has to do it, do it well, no matter what, the old man has to finish his term, if his body allows, even if he is the prime minister of any world, why not." Stroking the long beard under his chin, Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows, and the tiredness seemed to dissipate with the laughter.

Prime Minister, a position that had been removed by Zhu Yuanzhang since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, was taken out by the Chinese Empire. And Zhao Yi became the first prime minister nominated by Liang Pengfei, the emperor of the Chinese Empire.

In addition to the Prime Minister, there were four other Vice-Ministers, who formed the Prime Minister's Cabinet, which was responsible for the affairs of the entire Chinese Empire and was accountable to His Majesty the Emperor. And meeting such an emperor as Liang Pengfei is indeed lucky for the Chinese Empire, at least, he knows how to decentralize power.

Moreover, what Liang Pengfei adopted was the cabinet responsibility system, first of all, Liang Pengfei had a large number of elites from all walks of life under his hands, called advisers, firstly, according to the situation of the country, made a general assessment, according to the emperor's will, made some expected goals and development directions.

After that, these are handed over to the prime minister, and the cabinet formed by the prime minister is responsible for implementation, and if the cabinet has a problem with this, it is natural that it can raise objections to the emperor, but once it is confirmed, then if it is not done well, it is the problem of the prime minister and the cabinet, and the responsibility will naturally be borne by the cabinet and the prime minister.

And the emperor is equivalent to withdrawing from many things, coupled with the guidance of public opinion, then, even if something goes wrong, the spearhead of the people of the world will only point at the cabinet and the prime minister, not the emperor.

However, in this case, Zhao Yi, as the first prime minister, knew very well the twists and turns in Liang Pengfei's belly, but he had to follow the path arranged by Liang Pengfei, and he was still willing to do it, because Zhao Yi knew that such a political axe structure could hold the infinite expansion of imperial power hostage to a large extent. There are great benefits for the country and the people, so it is worth it no matter how tired you are.

However, as the prime minister, Zhao Yi is also under great pressure, first of all, he has to fight a lawsuit with Liang Pengfei, the rogue emperor, and he bargains for every government goal proposed by Liang Pengfei, and even the two of them have resumed the way they got along in Guangdong.

often makes those officials who have recently stepped into this political axe dumbfounded, and their eyeballs and jaws fall to the ground, but it is precisely because of this that those cabinet officials admire him more and more as the prime minister, after all, Liang Pengfei's famous reputation is definitely not a joke, but the old man Zhao dares to slap the table in front of Liang Pengfei and single-handedly, this courage alone is enough to make them fall to the ground.

While the pair were talking, the car had stopped in front of a tall white concrete masonry building, three stories high, covering an area of dozens of acres, where the Prime Minister's Office and various ministries and commissions of the Chinese Empire were located.

About five miles north of here is Liang Pengfei's home in Jiading, which is where the palace of the emperor of the Chinese Empire is located, so that if there is any urgent matter, then the prime minister's office can deliver the news to the emperor in the first time.

"Zhao Xiang, you can be regarded as back." Seeing Zhao Yi get out of the carriage and walk up the steps, Finance Minister Wu Bingjian, who was already hovering at the gate of the Prime Minister's Office, hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile.

"It turned out to be Minister Wu, hehe, why, are you in such a hurry to know the news?" Seeing the comer, Zhao Yi smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty has agreed to your question about the circulation of silver taels and silver dollars, and the mainland can suspend the circulation of silver dollars, but foreign trade must be settled in silver dollars." ”

Hearing Zhao Yi's reply, Wu Bingjian was obviously relieved. "This is very good, so that we will not suffer losses in foreign trade, and on the mainland, it will not affect the lives of the people."

"yes." Zhao Yi nodded: "Your Majesty's intention is good, but now is not the time, after all, it will take time for everyone in the world to accept the silver dollar and cancel the silver tael." ”

"That's right, Zhao Xiang, please come in, today's regular meeting, the ministers and several deputy ministers have arrived." As he spoke, several people entered the tall and majestic Prime Minister's Mansion under the envious and longing eyes of the people on the street.

"Did you see it, the one just now seems to be the current prime minister Zhao Yi Zhao Lao. Tut-tut, I didn't expect that the little people here can also have such eye blessings. An old scholar in a silk robe stroked his long beard with a satisfied expression.

"What's this, a few days ago, I saw the emperor come here." The other said with an even more bullish expression. Someone next to him suddenly came over and asked curiously, "What does the emperor look like?" ”

"I didn't see the appearance clearly, because it was too far away, and those military masters didn't allow us little people to get too close, but ah, the emperor was wearing a black military uniform at that time, yes, it was similar to the military uniforms of those soldiers guarding around the Prime Minister's Office, but it was more beautiful."

"Old Wu, you shouldn't be nonsense, right? Your Majesty, you can only wear dark yellow, bright yellow, and golden yellow, how can you wear black? One of them immediately retorted.

"Cut, Brother Liu, it seems that you are really old-fashioned, do you know, our emperor and his old man said, since ancient times, the things of the world have changed from world to world and change with time, and now China, we must restore the open mind of the Han and Tang Dynasties, for the dignity and reverence of the royal family, we only need the people to put it in their hearts, not in their mouths, so, a few days ago, they have already abolished a series of restrictions such as clothing, dress, and hair, in addition, His Majesty also said, in the past, I have Hua Mulan in China to serve in the army on behalf of my father, There is also the princess of Pingyang, who led hundreds of thousands of people to fight in Guanzhong, captured Chang'an, and made great contributions to the founding of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"What? Obediently, Your Majesty, isn't this changing the common law of the ancestors? Is this worth it?! The old scholar who spoke at the beginning couldn't help but blow his beard and glare.

However, his words were immediately refuted by others: "Old ancestor, whose old ancestor, the emperor said, this is called retro ceremony, he reverted to the Han Dynasty before the Song Dynasty, at that time, regardless of men and women in China, no one wrapped strips of cloth around their feet, everyone could hold knives and guns, and hold paper and pen." ”…… Such dramas are being staged one after another in Jiading, in the Central Plains, in the south of the Yangtze River, and in more remote Chinese areas, arguing for every change, but at least the world is no longer as insensitive as before...... －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
