The latest chapter of "I Am Qin II"...

"Because of this, I won't agree to Aiqing's old man!"

Hu Hai looked at Feng Quji, who was excited, and said lightly, and then seemed to remember something and added: "The cabinet office is handed over to you Aiqing, I am still very relieved." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

When Feng Quji heard Hu Hai's words, the smile on his face couldn't help but stiffen.

Does the emperor's words imply that if it weren't for the fact that the cabinet office has acted fairly well in the past five years, then he would agree to his own old age? Or will the Cabinet Office be directly removed as the Prime Minister's Office was abolished in the first place?

"What about the Cabinet Ministers today?"

Hu Hai changed his words, put down the music in his hand and looked at Feng Qujian and asked.

Cabinet participation in politics is a new term proposed by Hu Hai in the sixth year of the Second Dynasty.

Participation in politics, as the name suggests, means to participate in political affairs.

For a full year after Wei Yu's death, the Great Qin Emperor Hu Hai had no intention of adding a new auxiliary minister to the Cabinet Office. Gradually, people such as Wei Yu, Hu Wujing, and others, who had always had great illusions about the Cabinet Office, gradually extinguished their extravagant hopes.

However, just when everyone thought that from now on the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet office would only remain four, the Great Qin Emperor Hu Hai suddenly issued an edict on the Lantern Festival in the sixth year of the second year to select 120 family nobles to enter the cabinet and participate in the handling of court affairs.

When the news came out, everyone was shocked.

Is the emperor trying to turn the Cabinet Office Auxiliary Minister into a cabbage on the street? If you don't move, you just want to completely turn the Cabinet Office into a puppet in name only?

Of the 120 Cabinet Office Auxiliary Ministers, even if it is a trivial matter, the Cabinet Office will have to argue for several days or even dozens of days.

However, the horror of the ministers did not last long, and the specific regulations were announced on the second day of the Lantern Festival.

These 120 people must all be from noble families, and from this point on, it basically blocked the passage for many wealthy families with insufficient status to enter the cabinet. However, this move made the noble family, who had only been taken back all their fiefs, grateful to Hu Hai.

However, the 120 people who entered the cabinet were not auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, but a new position, the cabinet to participate in politics.

This cabinet participates in politics, does not usually work in the cabinet, does not participate in various official affairs of the cabinet office, and at the same time has no official rank. The only role or power of the Cabinet in participating in politics is that when the Cabinet participates in politics and has doubts about a certain policy of the Cabinet Office, or believes that a certain policy of the Cabinet Office is not conducive to the people or the country, then the impeachment procedure can be initiated.

Of course, the basic requirement for initiating the impeachment process is that more than half of the Cabinet Office participating in the political affairs department jointly submit a letter to His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor. At this time, the Cabinet Office will hold a meeting of the Cabinet to participate in politics, and the four Cabinet Ministers of the Cabinet Office will have to answer the questions raised by the participants on the spot. And this cabinet participation conference, the Great Qin Emperor will and must be present in person.

If there are still doubts or disagreements among the Cabinet Ministers after the four Cabinet Ministers have finished answering the questions, the 120 members of the Cabinet Office will vote on the policy after three days.

At this time, if the Cabinet Office wants to continue with this policy, it must win the support of more than two-thirds of the Cabinet participants within three days, that is, at least more than 80 Cabinet members must agree with the Cabinet Office's proposal, and the policy will be passed and implemented in six parts.

Of course, the Great Qin Emperor could overturn any vote taken by the cabinet to participate in politics. Moreover, all the edicts of the Great Qin Emperor are also not subject to any restrictions.

Of course, the role of the Cabinet in politics is not limited to this. In addition to submitting a request for impeachment and re-examination of a policy implemented by the Cabinet Office, it is also possible to submit a proposal on its own and hold a Cabinet Participation Assembly to vote on whether or not the policy can be implemented.

This base for political proposals is also half of the cabinet's participation in politics. As long as more than four-fifths of the Cabinet votes to participate in the administration of state affairs, then the political proposal submitted by the Cabinet can be directly implemented in six ministries without going through a few cabinet elders in the Cabinet Office.

Unless, the Great Qin Emperor personally intervened to veto.

In fact, Hu Hai used a system similar to that of later generations to participate in politics. It's just that today's cabinet participation system in Daqin has a bit of a different flavor.

Hu Hai knows that everything must come step by step, and he can't rush it.

Letting the Cabinet Office oversee all government affairs in Daqin is the first step; The second step is to establish a cabinet to participate in politics and limit and decentralize the powers of the cabinet office; The third step is naturally to allow the emerging classes in the next few decades, such as businessmen or ordinary people whose wisdom has been opened, to enter the cabinet and participate in political affairs.

The ultimate goal is that the Great Qin Emperor will only command all the armies of Great Qin, and will no longer participate excessively in political affairs, but hand over all political affairs to the Cabinet Office, the Cabinet Office to participate in politics, and the Cabinet Office to discuss politics.

However, it is clear that Daqin still has at least a few decades to go to achieve this goal. In order to finally gradually form such a convention.

One hundred and twenty noble families participate in politics, Hu Hai wants to tie all the noble families that have influence on Great Qin to the chariot of Great Qin, only let them regard Great Qin as their roots, let them feel that Great Qin is related to the rise and fall of their own family, they will really think about this empire. Of course, they will certainly also benefit their own families. However, the pursuit of this interest is based on the fact that Great Qin still exists, and they are still on the basis of Great Qin's participation in politics.

Once Great Qin falls, then any of their interests will not be guaranteed, and everything they have in their family will become a flower in the mirror. Therefore, at any time, while seeking benefits for their own family, the first thing they have to ensure is that Daqin still exists well, and even has a healthy and prosperous existence.

In this way, their family can be continued and their family can remain prosperous.

Hu Hai wanted to instill in them the idea that everything they had now was tied to such a powerful chariot as the Great Qin Empire. With Great Qin, they can maintain everything they have now, whether it is power or wealth; And once they break away from Great Qin, then everything they have will cease to exist.

The participation of one hundred and twenty cabinet members in politics is really a drop in the bucket compared to the large number of noble families in the entire Great Qin. So as soon as the news came out, all the noble families went crazy, especially those who no longer had much influence in the imperial court, and they made up their minds that they must get a cabinet position no matter what.

Soon, the conditions for the selection of the cabinet to participate in politics came out.

It is said that this selection condition was personally drawn up by His Majesty the Emperor and finally submitted to the Supervision Department of the Zongzheng Mansion for revision. The government that selects the cabinet to participate in politics is under the supervision of the Supervision Department of the Zongzheng Prefecture.

The Cabinet Office, or even any of the other ministries of the Imperial Court, could not intervene.

The first condition for selecting the cabinet to participate in politics is that it must have made military and political merits for Great Qin; The second is that in the past ten years, there has been no oppression of good and lawlessness; The third point is that there must be good deeds and virtuous deeds. And in this regard, the flood that occurred in the third year of the second emperor, the noble family that had donated a lot of money naturally occupied a very high score.

Of course, there must be more than these three points, but these three points have broken the minds of nearly half of the noble family at once.

At this time, the noble family of Yigan Xun realized that His Majesty the Second Emperor had been preparing for today's events many years ago. Otherwise, why did you call on many noble families in Xianyang and even Guanzhong to come up with real money to help those lowly untouchables when Chen County was rebuilt and the party was flooded?

The noble families who have done good deeds and donated are overjoyed; Because of the momentary interests blinded the noble family, it will be impossible to win by beating their chests.

The 120-member cabinet was quickly selected. Among them, five cabinet members participated in politics, but they were appointed by Emperor Hu Hai of Great Qin. These five people are Wu'an Hou Ma Xing, Dongling Hou Zhaoping, Nanyang Hou Duhe, Donglai Hou Cui Ruyi, and Baling Hou Jiang Shumao, who were awarded the title of Marquis by Hu Hai to the end for their good Qin merits.

The emperor's grace is vast, nothing more than that.

The Holy Son of Heaven Hu Hai had long said that he would not treat anyone who had meritorious service to Daqin, but at this moment, he proved this openly in his treatment of Ma Xing, Zhaoping, Du He and others.

This move naturally made Ma Xing and Zhaoping grateful for their good deeds.

In other words, becoming a cabinet does not mean that you will be a cabinet for the rest of your life, but only within three years of your selection.

If after five years you can't pass the exams of the Zongzheng Mansion Supervision Division, the Imperial History Mansion, and the Black Ice Terrace, then I'm sorry, you're going to get out, please wait another five years.

The re-examination after this five-year period is extremely strict for those who were originally involved in the Cabinet. During the three-year term of the cabinet's participation in politics, what each participant in politics has done, whether he has put forward suggestions that are beneficial to Daqin and the people's livelihood, and whether he has performed regardless of things are all within the scope of the examination. In this regard, the main role of the Black Ice Observatory is to collect statistics on the comments of these cabinets participating in politics among the people.

Where there is a bottom, there is a top. What's more, there are so many noble families in Daqin, but they are all waiting for someone to go down.

From the sixth year of the second century, the 120 members of the current first cabinet participated in politics until this year, which is exactly three years. After the National Day on 25 October, the 120-member cabinet will have its first examination to participate in politics.

"Back to Your Majesty, in the past three years of your participation in politics, you have helped the Cabinet Office find many mistakes and omissions, and put forward some political proposals that are beneficial to the people's livelihood. It's all right! ”

When Feng Qujian heard Hu Hai's words, his eyes flashed, and he bowed in response.
