Chapter 58 Three Provinces and Six Ministries System

Da Shang Zao is also known as Da Liang Zao.

It is the sixteenth title in the twenty military merits of the Qin Dynasty, and it can be regarded as a real high title.

Don't think that this title is very low, like the current Zuo Prime Minister Li Si and the general Meng Tian are all in this title, although Su Mo was named the prime minister of the middle, but he actually has no title on him, and now the first emperor is suddenly promoted, which can be described as shocking the government and the opposition.

However, at this time, he did not stand up against the first emperor unfairly.

After all, a prime minister of the dynasty, the title must not be low.

Moreover, people with a discerning eye for papermaking can see that this is a major invention of the imperial court, and with papermaking and printing, the compulsory education of the Qin Dynasty was popularized, and these contributions add up to match the title of Dashangzao.

Su Mo smiled when he heard that he was named Daliangzao.

But my heart was not shocked.

Damn, you can't even seal the marquis!

In the Qin Dynasty, Daliangzao was already the pinnacle that the courtiers could reach, and then it was basically not obtained by the function of the li, only the real royal family could obtain a higher title, and others should not think about it, as for the feudal marquis, it would be even more difficult.

Here's a set of data to illustrate.

Let's take the unit of measurement as an example.

There is a detailed record in "Historical Records: The Biography of Bai Qi Wang Jian Lie", Bai Qi's military exploits are outstanding, and his title has grown from Zuo Shu to Daliangzao, which only took three years. Zuo Shuchang ranked tenth among the military meritorious knights, and Da Liangzao ranked sixteenth, that is, Bai Qi rose six ranks in three years.

But after Bai Qi became a great good man, in the nine years that Bai Qi had not been promoted to any title. It wasn't until after the victory of Vachu that Bai Qi was rewarded and directly made a marquis and given to Wu Anjun.

And when Su Mo secretly complained, the First Emperor looked at the paper in his hand, and suddenly asked, "Zhao Gao, I don't know if this paper has a name?" ”

Hearing this, Su Mo was a little puzzled.

Why does everyone want to name paper?

Last night, Zhang Han tried his best to persuade Su Mo to name the paper Zhao Gao Paper, but today the First Emperor also asked the same.

But if you think about it, in the Qin Dynasty, inventors made things with naming rights.

It's like Cai Lun giving his own name to the paper.

And the biggest dream of the ancients is to leave a name in history, things like paper are destined to be passed down through the ages, if you can take your own name on the paper, future generations of students will read their own names every time they use paper, isn't it a real legend?

After thinking about this, Su Mo said: "Back to Your Majesty, this paper has not been named yet, so it is better for Your Majesty to give it a name!" ”

He didn't care about this false name, if he could make the First Emperor happy, Su Mo didn't recommend giving up the right of authorship.

"This isn't good......

After hearing this, the First Emperor showed a hesitant look on his face, "Or call it the First Emperor Paper?" ”

Hearing this name, Su Mo was a little powerless to complain.

But fortunately, the First Emperor was still a little pressing, and quickly shook his head, "No, I am the First Emperor, and I am the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, how can I let others smudge and paint on my body, it's really indecent." ”

"Since this paper was made in my Great Qin, I think it's called Qin paper!"

In the end, the First Emperor made the final decision and chose a name for the paper.

"I think the name Qin Paper is very good!"

Su Mo hurriedly stood up in support, this name is always a hundred times better than what is Zhao Gao Paper, the First Emperor Paper.

Choosing a name for the paper, the First Emperor was in a very good mood.

Then he lowered his head and carefully studied Su Mo's recital.

However, when he saw the above content, the smile on the face of the First Emperor gradually converged, and even became more serious as he went to the back, until he finally raised his head, stared at Su Mo with a pair of tiger eyes, and said with a solemn expression: "Zhao Gao, is the content on this really what you came up with?" ”

"Yes, the minister thought that my official system in Daqin was bloated and chaotic, so he deliberately spent a night coming up with a solution to the system of three provinces and six ministries."

Su Mo did not hesitate to put the credit of the three provinces and six ministries system in later generations on his head.

The official system of the Qin Dynasty is three dukes and nine kings, this system makes the prime minister override the imperial power, and the prime minister has the power of one person and ten thousand people, if he encounters a mediocre emperor, maybe the prime minister can also empty the imperial power, which is very unfavorable to the current Qin Dynasty rule.

Like the change of the sand dunes in history, the first emperor issued an order to let his son Fusu ascend the throne before he died, but Zhao Gao was able to pull Prime Minister Li Si to change the edict without authorization, and even helped Hu Hai to the position of Qin II, which shows how terrifying the power of the prime minister in this era is.

The system of three provinces and six ministries is different.

He divided the power of the prime minister into three and divided it, thus ensuring the supremacy of the imperial power.

Moreover, the division of duties and powers of the six ministries is detailed, like the current Jiuqing system, you don't know how to do things and go to that department, which is really inconvenient.

Of course, Su Mo helped Emperor Shi to create a system of three provinces and six ministries not to consolidate the position of imperial power, but to gain power.

The system of three provinces and six ministries weakens the power of the prime minister, but it is ashamed to say that although Su Mo is the prime minister.

However, the government has long been controlled by the left prime minister Li Si and the right prime minister Feng Quji, and he can't intervene at all, so he came up with a system of three provinces and six ministries to break this deadlock.

Because the prime minister has a lot of power, and the Qin Dynasty now has three prime ministers on the left, the middle and the right.

There is a high degree of overlap in the powers of everyone.

If you can manage things, I can manage them too.

But if everyone disagrees, who should they listen to?

Su Mo is now bent on presiding over the reform of the Qin Dynasty, and then making meritorious achievements and becoming a marquis, he doesn't want someone to pull his back legs when he is doing things, especially now Prime Minister Li Si looks at himself very unpleasantly and suppresses himself everywhere, so these three provinces and six ministries system are his best counterattack.

In the future, the power of the prime minister will be divided into three, and everyone will be in charge of their own territory.

Don't point fingers at me.

But in fact, Su Mo earned it, because he had the title of prime minister, but he did not have the corresponding power, which was equivalent to snatching some power from Li Si, but Li Si suffered heavy losses, and his power in the future was greatly reduced, and he could no longer cover the sky with one hand.

The First Emperor carefully studied the proposal of the system of three provinces and six ministries, and the more he looked at it, the better he felt.

No way, after all, this thing has been verified by the times.

From the Sui and Tang dynasties to the fall of the Qing Dynasty, all dynasties used this system, and the system of three princes and nine kings has long been abandoned because it does not conform to the times.

"Prime Minister Zhao Gao invented this system of three provinces and six ministries, you Aiqing also take a look, everyone is discussing this system?" The First Emperor passed down the recital in his hand and let the Manchu civil and military officers of the Qilin Hall read and check.

After the courtiers below saw Su Mo's recital, their faces were different.

Among them, Prime Minister Li Si's face was blackened, and this suggestion had no impact on other ministers, and the biggest impact was on him, the prime minister, which was equivalent to reducing his power.

Subconsciously.

Li Si wanted to stand up and refute.

However, as soon as he raised his foot, his eyes suddenly met the First Emperor above, and Li Si was instantly stunned, and immediately retracted.

Clear-sighted people know the advantages of the three-province and six-ministry system, which can weaken the power of the prime minister and consolidate the imperial power.

If he, the prime minister, stands up against it, isn't that looking for death?

Even Prime Minister Li Si stopped talking, and the other ministers looked at each other, all of them were silent.

Anyway, this system restricts the power of the prime minister, and it has nothing to do with the interests of their ministers, so they can't offend Su Mo and the First Emperor.

The First Emperor looked at the ministers who were all speechless, and then said: "Since everyone is meaningless, then in the future, my Great Qin will be reformed into a system of three provinces and six ministries." ”

"Message!"

"The right prime minister Feng Quji is in charge of Zhongshu Province, the central prime minister Zhao Gao is in charge of the lower province, the left prime minister Li Si is in charge of Shangshu Province, and the rest of the nine ministers are planned under the six ministries according to their duties."
