Chapter 40: Congregational Ministers

In fact, Hu Hai didn't want to blame himself for all the problems that Great Qin had accumulated for a long time, but the contradictions among the people, let alone ancient China, still existed in the era of highly developed economic, cultural and material life in later generations.

The only difference is the way of dealing with contradictions and the vision of politicians. Although the current Great Qin is determined to forge ahead, and a series of policies that created a precedent in ancient China are extremely advanced in later generations, they have always been limited by the constraints of the times.

If the First Emperor Yingzheng lived in the later generations instead of the current ancient China, then he must be a great man of the times, since it cannot be blamed on the First Emperor, then Hu Hai can only carry it himself.

Meng Tian heard Hu Hai's series of rhetorical questions, and looked at the map speechless.

"But Your Majesty ......"

"I know Aiqing wants to say that these are my guesses, and they may not come true. But what I can tell you is that the Xiongnu will definitely go south to attack my Great Qin, not to mention that the Xiongnu will take the initiative to send troops when they see the civil strife in our Great Qin, that is, those remnants of the Six Kingdoms who want to destroy my Great Qin, how can they ignore the Xiongnu with such strong reinforcements? ”

Hu Hai at least knew this, and at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Xiongnu took advantage of the civil strife in the Qin Dynasty to recapture the Ointment of the Hetao region by large troops, and it was not until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that they recaptured it.

Hearing Hu Hai's words of affirmation, Meng Tian was silent.

He was silent not only because he really had nothing to say at this time, but more importantly, Hu Hai's analysis of the general trend of the world today made him truly realize Hu Hai's changes today for the first time.

Needless to say, this Confucian general, who was known as the "second in Baiqi" who supported the sky of Great Qin in later generations, had already seen Hu Hai's methods and was dead set on Hu Hai, so at this time, he was only amazed by what Hu Hai had not said in front of Li Siwei and others before.

But Meng Yi was really shocked, as an observer and a top civilian civil servant in Daqin, Meng Yi was able to think about Hu Hai's analysis comprehensively from all aspects of Daqin, not just military, so he felt more profoundly. Likewise, his shock and excitement were particularly impressive.

"Aiqing still thinks that now that my Great Qin is close to 100,000 soldiers, can I calm the world?"

Hu Hai saw Meng Tian looking at the map in a daze, and couldn't help but ask, can stunned a generation of military gods, brother is also a talent, haha.

"Your Majesty has a foresight, and your subordinates are far out of reach."

Meng Tian bowed deeply to Hu Hai with a sincere convincing.

Hu Hai turned his head to look at Meng Yi, Meng Yi didn't have any words, just simply bowed to the ground.

"Haha, Cui Niang, let people invite the two prime ministers, Wei Guowei and Feng Zheng to the study to discuss matters. Well, wait. ”

Hu Hai looked at Zhang Han and said, "Zhang Aiqing, what other important ministers?" He winked at Zhang Han as he spoke.

Zhang Han understood what Hu Hai meant at a glance, this is His Majesty doesn't know which other ministers are qualified to attend, and they are looking for themselves to solve the siege.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are also Lord Yao Jia, the Imperial Captain, Yang Ruihe, the Captain of the Guard, the Elder Zongzheng Yingteng, the Pawn Dun Weak, the Changshi Sima Xin, the Fengchang Hu Wujing, and the Imperial Servant Ma Xing, who can also be invited together."

After the Qin State destroyed the Six Kingdoms and unified the world, a new official system was implemented, and the emperor had supreme rights, but the specific implementation of the rights was not carried out by the emperor, but by a complete set of government affairs system centered on the emperor.

The central government affairs system of the Qin Dynasty was based on the system of three princes and nine secretaries with the prime minister as the axis.

The Three Princes refer to the Prime Minister, the Taiwei and the Imperial Doctor. The title of the three dukes, from the official system of the Zhou family, is the Taishi, the Taifu, and the Taibao, and the three people with the most respected status in the ancient official system. This Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao were reused in various dynasties after the Qin Dynasty.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Three Princes actually did not exist, and only the title of the Three Princes remained, and most of them were a kind of respect for the powerful ministers with respected status.

The official system of the Qin Dynasty clearly regarded the prime minister, the imperial lieutenant, and the imperial historian as the three dukes, which established the axial position of these three institutions in the central government affairs system, which was fundamentally different from the "assistant yin and yang" of the three dukes of the Zhou Dynasty.

The three princes of the Great Qin Empire, each of which is a system, among which the comprehensive system headed by the prime minister, the general leader of the opening government, the left and right prime ministers, also known as the prime ministers, have many subordinate affairs offices. LΓΌ Buwei and Wang Qi were both prime ministers of Great Qin, and now the prime ministers of Huhai are Li Si, the left prime minister, and Feng Quji, the right prime minister, and Qin respects the left.

The military and political system headed by the Taiwei, the commander-in-chief of the Kaifu was involved in military and administrative affairs, and was established by the expansion of the former Qin State Governor's Office. During the period of Qin Shi Huang, it is said that Huhai, the Taiwei of the Great Qin Empire is only Wang Ben, and after Wang Ben's death, the Taiwei has been vacant.

The supervision system headed by the Imperial Historian, the opening of the government to supervise hundreds of officials and the counties of the world, was established by the expansion of the former Qin State Imperial History Department and the National Governor. Feng Zheng was the imperial historian of Hu Hai, and in the original history, he and his father Feng Go, the right prime minister, failed to admonish Hu Hai, and finally committed suicide unwilling to be humiliated.

Under the three princes is Jiuqing. Jiuqing is in charge of the governance system in nine major areas. The reason why Jiuqing is placed under the Three Princes is that its actual role is to clarify the hierarchical power, and Jiuqing governs under the leadership of the Three Princes (mainly under the Prime Minister) to ensure that there are no more governments.

Among the nine qing, five qings belong to the emperor system, and four qings belong to the three public systems.

The four secretaries of the three princes are: Tingwei (a law enforcement agency, with three offices of the left prison, the right prison, and the prison, focusing on the imperial history of the doctor's office), Zhisu Neishi (set up with the expansion of the original Datian Order, in charge of economic and people's livelihood affairs, and subordinate to the prime minister's system), Dianke (with the merger and expansion of the original pedestrian office and the subordinate state office, in charge of the state relations and border tribal affairs, and subordinate to the prime minister's office), Shaofu (established by the merger and expansion of the original Guan City, Bang Sikong and other offices, in charge of national taxation, set up six Cheng, subordinate to the Prime Minister's Office).

The five secretaries under the direct leadership of the emperor are: Weiwei (in charge of the palace security), Lang Zhongling (in charge of the emperor's guards and forbidden army), Taifu (in charge of the palace chariots and horses), Fengchang (the imperial family's temple etiquette), and Zongzheng (the internal affairs of the imperial family).

In addition to Jiuqing, the empire still has a number of scattered official institutions, either under the emperor system or under the three public systems.

The main scattered official institutions of the central government are: Keqing (the vacant position of the talented man, can be with the state affairs, mostly for probation, appointed by the emperor system, and the appointment belongs to the prime minister system), the Doctor School Palace (with the doctor servant shooting as the main official, with more than 70 doctors, in charge of the teaching etiquette Botong ancient and modern, ready to consult the state affairs, the emperor system appointed, and the appointment is mainly subordinate to the emperor system), lieutenant (in charge of the security of the Beijing Division, set up two Cheng, with jurisdiction over the scout, Sima, and the three offices of the thousand people, and is subordinate to the Taiwei system), and the internal history (in charge of the government affairs of the Beijing Division, the central officials, and the prime minister system).

These are the complete set of central government affairs system of the Great Qin Empire, as for the composition of the first-level county officials and the lowest-level township official system, which will be introduced one by one later, I will not go into detail here.

In fact, among these people Zhang Han mentioned, Sima Xin and Zhang Han themselves betrayed the Qin Dynasty and surrendered to Xiang Yu in their original history. The relationship between Sima Xin and Zhang Han has always been very close, and the end of Qin has always assisted Zhang Han in fighting against the anti-Qin army.

Zhang Han was defeated by Xiang Yu in the Battle of Julu, and was defeated by Xiang Yu again in the Battle of Zhangzhen and surrendered, and entered the pass with Xiang Yu and was crowned King Yong. In the Chu-Han War, Zhang Han fought with Liu Bangjun in August of the first year of the Han Dynasty (206 BC), and retired to the Waste Hill (now southeast of Xingping, Shaanxi). In June of the second year, Chengpo committed suicide.

After the battle of Sima Xin Zhangzhen, he surrendered to Xiang Yu with Zhang Han and was named the king of Sai by Xiang Yu. ruled the area east of Xianyang to the Yellow River, and built the capital of Liyang; Later, he was defeated by the Han army in Chenggao, and he and Cao Ji killed themselves on the water.

However, since Hu Hai has changed and history has changed, the fate of each person will be different.

Hu Hai was dizzy by Zhang Han's large list of titles and names, and hurriedly said: "Then Zhang Aiqing will send a decree to ask people to invite these Aiqing as well." In fact, he didn't know what these official titles were for, and the only thing he had a clue about was the Zongzheng who could be understood literally.

"Your Majesty......" Zhang Han had just taken a few steps, and suddenly seemed to think of something, turned around and hesitated.

"How?"

"Your Majesty, many important ministers gathered, and Your Majesty's study is too narrow. May I ask Your Majesty to move to the Chamber? ”

"Oh. Okay, then let's take all of you Aiqing directly to the council hall. ”

Although Hu Hai also thought that it was night, he didn't know if these senior civil servants had slept, but he didn't know what time it was, only that it was early in the evening and noon.

I think these people can't sleep well because they want to sleep because they come back and toss, so since they don't sleep well, come out and chat with me.

Then Hu Hai continued to talk nonsense with Meng Tian and Meng Yi, although he didn't have much actual experience, but talking about soldiers and how to govern on paper was easy for Hu Hai from modern times, and the flickering military god brothers were stunned.

It wasn't until Cui Niang came in and told her that all the important ministers had arrived that the Montessori brothers were saved from Hu Hai's continuous shock, but at this time, the Montessori brothers were already respectful to the young emperor.

Hu Hai took a sip of the teacup and moistened his already said smoking throat, and said to the Montessori brothers who were already in a state of excitement: "Since the two Aiqing, the prime minister and others are here, then let's stop here today, and next time I will continue to talk to the two Aiqing about the use of this sabotage battle." ”

"Your Majesty......"

Meng Tian hurriedly said, wanting Hu Hai to continue to finish, Meng Yi was fine, but as a god of war, Meng Tian told Hu Hai that half of the attack was interrupted, which was heart-scratching, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he thought that he couldn't let many important ministers wait there because of himself.

"Meng Aiqing, how about we continue after we meet the prime minister and the others?" Hu Hai said with a smile, I didn't expect this Meng Tian to also have gossip fire. However, as a god of war, he is so obsessed with a new method of warfare, and it should be.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Meng Tian said gratefully.

When Hu Hai and the Montessori brothers walked into the council hall, the many senior civil servants of the dying Great Qin Empire who were talking enthusiastically in the hall immediately stopped talking and fell to the ground together.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
