Chapter 84 Propaganda Department
In one morning, almost every problem is solved by Ling Husu, he is not tired, it is not a problem anyway, he can always find a solution.
This is not surprising, he has tens of thousands of years of human history in his mind, and there have been countless cases and solutions to all kinds of things that happened in Chen Guo.
After lunch, the old emperor summoned Linghu Su and asked about those things in the court. He had already received reports from Wen Zhong and Fei Qing and learned about Ling Husu's whimsical ideas.
"Su Su, will the minister of the Qin mission have too much power?"
"No, this is only a temporary official position, and my country has always had it, but it has not formed a fixed consciousness. Now it's very helpful to fix it. In addition, because the minister represented his father and had a lot of power in the local area, he needed to choose an honest and honest official. Father, you also know that the current local power is too great, which is not conducive to the rule of the imperial court. ”
The old emperor nodded and asked Xu Yi to stamp Wen Zhong's fold, but he no longer had the strength to seal it himself.
"Father, I'll help you."
The old emperor paused for a moment, smiled, and said, "Yes, yes, Su Su is here, you come to help your father seal it." ”
Ling Hu Su walked to the right side of the old emperor, Xu Yi moved a chair, and Ling Hu Su sat on it.
"You help your father seal the seal, which means that you agree to set up the temporary official position of the minister of the imperial mission, as for the subtle setting, it has been explained on the joint fold of Wen Zhong and Fei Qing, you can help see if it is reasonable."
Ling Husu, who was about to seal it, stopped, picked up the fold and looked at it word by word, and found that some places were inappropriate.
"If a minister can kill someone, it must be when he has to, and more often it is deterrence. It is inappropriate to say that officials can be killed directly, and no official appointed by the imperial court is allowed to be killed at will. ”
In fact, in the era before Linghusu, there were ministers because the central government was highly centralized, there was no prime minister, and the imperial power was supreme. In today's Chen State, there is a division of power between the left and right prime ministers, and the so-called ministers of the Qin Missions cannot reach too high a status, which is only a deterrent to the localities. Therefore, such a thing as murder is easy to be criticized by others, and there is a big problem.
"Wen Zhong and Fei Qing are in the south study, Xu Yi, you go and call them."
After a while, Wen Zhong and Fei Qing hurriedly came, bowed down and saluted, and found that Ling Husu was actually sitting beside the old emperor and holding a big seal. The two were shocked and didn't know what it meant.
"Su Su said that there is something wrong with your excerpts, so I called you here and listened carefully."
Linghu Suzai carefully elaborated, and the two prime ministers nodded yes.
After solving the first thing, the old emperor asked Wen Zhong and Fei Qing to stay here, and Xu Yi asked the eunuch to move the seats.
"In which department should the press be attributed to such an important tool?"
The old emperor had a unique vision, and when he saw the description of the newspaper, he knew how powerful it was, and in this era, speech was not smooth, and the people were equivalent to deaf people without ears. If such a newspaper exists, it is equivalent to controlling the ears of the people, and its significance is incalculable.
Wen Zhong and Fei Qing have no choice, such a powerful tool, belonging to any department, will cause it to be unprecedentedly powerful, and it is easy to break the balance of various departments.
"Susu, what do you think?"
Linghu Su was looking at the words on the big seal, and replied: "Set up a new department!" ”
The old emperor's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Yes, you can set up a new department, what is the name?" ”
"Propaganda Department."
"Propaganda Department? Okay, concise, easy to understand, just right, what do you think about this name, Wen Xiang and Fei Xiang? ”
"I agree, may I ask Your Majesty, how should the Shangshu of the Propaganda Department, and the big and small officials choose?"
Petty officials are not important, they are mainly Shangshu, and they cannot be sloppy.
"Do you have any good candidates?"
Fei Qing and Wen Zhong glanced at each other, had an idea in their hearts, and at the same time stretched out their fingers and pointed at Ling Husu.
The old emperor's heart moved, but he still showed hesitation and said: "Su Su is a princess, and Shangshu is an official position of the second grade, I'm afraid it is not suitable." ”
Not to mention that Ling Husu is a princess, even if it is a prince, he has not done this.
Wen Zhong got up and said righteously: "Your Majesty, today's Chen domestic and external troubles are no longer the time to be pedantic, only those who have the ability and talent can turn decay into magic, according to the minister's view, the seventh princess is the one who turns decay into magic." ”
Fei Qing got up and said: "The Propaganda Department has a great responsibility, it guides the general trend of the world, and it must be controlled by important people, can Your Majesty trust others?" ”
This is to the point, the old emperor attaches too much importance to the Propaganda Department, and wants to grasp it in his hands, although he has not had much time, but he still hopes that the future emperor can seize the power of the Propaganda Department, so that he can propagate the thoughts and majesty of the emperor.
The out-of-body Ling Husu finally heard clearly what they were talking about, and immediately waved his hand to refuse.
"I can't do it, I'm tired of managing a department, I might as well sleep in, I got up early this morning, I'm very sleepy now."
Linghu Su's lazy appearance made the old emperor's face sink, and he gave him a brain meltdown.
"It's up to you, this matter can't be changed, if you can't do it well, I'll let your queen mother clean you up."
Ling Husu realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, but he didn't know what was wrong.
The old emperor was worried, Linghu Su's laziness has always been there, if he really made him the emperor, wouldn't he be a faint monarch!
Linghu Su really didn't want to manage this broken department, so he saved the country and said: "Father, I am inexperienced, I'm afraid I can't manage it well, if there is chaos, it will affect the whole country, can I find someone to help." ”
The old emperor thought about it, and it was indeed the case, so he asked, "Who to ask for help?" ”
"O Queen Mother! He can help me, supervise me, remind me. I think she's quite bored by herself, and at this critical time, she can make some contributions. Father, don't look at the queen mother's humble background, but she is very hardworking and reads and writes every day. ”
The old emperor nodded, he liked Su Liu not only because she was beautiful, but because she had a special temperament, never admit defeat, and was very motivated.
"Okay, you can do whatever you want. As for the office of the Propaganda Department, it is placed in the palace. Other details, Fei Qing, Wen Zhong, you go down and think about it. ”
No one thought that because of Ling Husu's laziness, the queen was in charge of the Propaganda Department, and from now on, it will be the same.
Then there were all kinds of troubles, most of which were discussed in the court, and the old emperor passed through it, so he asked Linghu Su to cover the seal.
"Your Majesty, the county order of Lang County embezzled 30,000 taels of silver, and it should be cut according to the law, but ......"
This is something that has not been mentioned in the court, and I am afraid it is not ordinary.
"Plainly, what is it?"
"The county order of Lang County is called Suhe, and he is the cousin of the queen's mother, that is, the cousin of the seventh princess. The ministers don't know how to decide, so please make a decision. ”
Linghu Su's heart was shocked, he had seen Su He, he had returned to Liuzhou Province before, and Su He would always hug him happily, so he was impressed.
"Is this true, and is there any mistake or omission?" The old emperor was expressionless.
"Back to Your Majesty, the evidence is conclusive and there is no mistake."
