Two days later, in the Qilin Hall in front of Xiayang Palace, the early dynasty opened again.

However, this time, Qin Zhao presided over the government as the emperor, and was no longer the crown prince.

"Join Your Majesty!" The ministers stood on the right and left sides and saluted him. At this time, the position was hastily arranged by the Ministry of Rites, and although the official grade system has not yet been specifically demarcated, the general prototype is already very clear.

"Zhongqing is flat."

Qin Zhao smiled slightly and asked, "Is there something to do?" ”

Hearing this, Fang Zhi, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, took the lead in standing up, this person had a close relationship with Chu Huaijin before.

"The minister has something to do."

Although taking advantage of Chu Huaijin's mistake that day, Qin Zhao directly assigned the post of Shangshu of the Criminal Department to Yu Rui without causing a backlash, but the high-level power in this area still needs to be appropriately tilted and cannot be done too much.

In addition, Yu Rui has no foundation, and his current voice in the Criminal Department is actually relatively small.

"Speak." Qin Zhao said lightly, secretly guessing in his heart where these factions would find their own faults.

At this time, the officials and ministers had already heard about the fact that the people of the world listened to the sacrificial texts before, so there was no reason not to suspect that there were no small means in the so-called dream and advent later.

Although I don't dare to say anything more now, there will be no less temptation.

And he is ready.

I saw that I bowed down in front of me and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that you ordered you to stop demolishing the walls between the counties. This is a decision made by the emperor to eliminate the estrangement between the old people of the five countries, please think twice! ”

Qin Zhao nodded, "What do the others think?" ”

While scanning His Highness's ministers, he was ready to take the opportunity to observe how many mountains there were in the court now.

It's not a bad thing to have factions within the court, as long as they can check and balance each other. This is the purpose of his establishment, everything operates within the system, maintaining vitality while reducing internal friction.

The Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites also stood up at this time, "Your Majesty, Lord Fang is reasonable, the will of the first emperor cannot be easily modified." ”

"Who else has questions?" Qin Zhao didn't answer immediately, but asked again.

Seeing that no one answered, he spoke: "You have all read the three lists, right?" ”

The ministers in the palace looked at each other, some had already guessed the intention, and some people still didn't understand.

"Smack!" Qin Zhao's eyes sharpened, and his right hand slapped the armrest of the dragon chair violently.

Everyone was horrified when they saw this, and they couldn't understand why he suddenly became angry.

"That's how you guys?!" Qin Zhao shouted, "Let's explain this matter with a long brain!" ”

Just when many people were still scared and a little unclear.

Yu Rui had already stood up first, and there was no hesitation in his movements.

"Your Majesty's move is precisely because the old people of the five countries are too far apart at this time, and in order to prevent internal problems, this decision was made.

"Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, since I already know that the forces in my Great Xia are ready to move now, and they are not stable, how can I hold Tai'a and give people a handle?"

Seeing that it was him who came out to answer, Qin Zhao couldn't help but praise in his heart.

It's not that he sees the purpose of his move, but that this person can grasp this opportunity to establish prestige in time, which shows that he is very smart, at least he has great potential as an official, and it is worth cultivating.

It is worthy of being on the list, and it is not reused in vain.

Qin Zhao's face softened slightly, staring at the other two officials, "Do you understand?" In the future, I will have a bit of a big picture and think more about it before playing. Also, Fang Zhi, if there is anything you don't understand in the future, ask your Lord Shangshu, don't make jokes! ”

"Wechen is guilty!" Fang Zhi hurriedly retreated back to the team tremblingly, not daring to say more.

Seeing this, Qin Zhao didn't continue to reprimand, and said coldly: "But there are other things to play?" ”

After Liwei just now, the hall seemed a little quiet for a while.

Seeing this scene, he nodded secretly in his heart, ready to make some big moves as planned.

At this moment, I saw a person at the front of the civil official column suddenly come out and shout Your Majesty.

It's Chu Huaijin!

Qin Zhao's eyes froze, a little vigilant.

"Please tell me if you have something to do."

"Your Majesty," Chu Huaijin bowed and saluted, "I heard that the day before yesterday, you arranged for the Ministry of Industry to mobilize the Quartet to build high platforms in various counties and counties, spending a lot of manpower and material resources, I don't know what happened?" This move is very costly, and I have not been good in the summer this year, so I am afraid it is not appropriate to act so rashly. ”

When Qin Zhao heard this, he frowned lightly at first, and then said in a deep voice: "The Zhongshu order is reasonable, it stands to reason that it is important to recuperate this year, but I have other arrangements for this matter." Within three months, the effect will be visible, and you will know it at a glance. ”

After a pause, he added: "It's not that I don't know the cost of this move, but I have calculated it in detail, and it is still within the scope of bearing, and other policies will be promulgated in the near future to reduce the negative impact." ”

After that, his eyes were fixed on the head of the civil official at this time.

Chu Huaijin raised his head and glanced at him, opened his mouth to speak, and stopped.

But in the end, he didn't refute it, and said "The minister knows" and retreated.

Qin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if it wasn't a last resort, he didn't want to announce the effect of the Kyushu Condensation Technique right now.

Leave it for the future, and it will be a bit of a waste to be able to use it as bait to fish out some restless forces.

He saw that the ministers were silent at this time, so he opened his mouth and said: "Former Taiwei Yan Chang, hard work is high, I want to crown him as the Marquis of Pingying, fief Pingying County, what do you think?" ”

In the past, Yan Chang was just a Guan Nei Hou and had no fiefdom. And Pingying County, which was awarded this time, is a fairly fertile land in Nanyang County, and it can be said that this reward is quite interesting.

The ministers have no opinion on this, and everyone's position in this regard is the same. Now that Yan Chang has withdrawn from the center of power, it is also the right thing to give some rewards.

Then they bowed in unison and said, "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

"In addition, from today onwards, I need to clarify the system of separation of officials and lords. Those who are officials cannot be knighted! Do you have any objections? ”

Speaking of this, the corners of Qin Zhao's mouth were lightly raised, he first glanced at Zifei, and then glanced at the ministers in the hall.

For a moment, the court became a little quiet.

Yesterday, after arranging the students of the Legalist family, he communicated with Zifei alone for a while......

"Your Majesty, I thought about it all night last night, and I have some understanding of your new system."

"Tell me what you think."

Zifei smiled indifferently, and his tone was confident.

"A saint rules over the officials, but not the people. His Majesty governs hundreds of officials and makes core decisions. The hundred officials are responsible for communicating and governing the people.

"There are two biggest benefits to doing this.

"First, the transfer of power to govern the people to officials naturally enhances their sense of responsibility.

"Second, the imperial power is more centralized, which is also convenient for His Majesty to manage."

Qin Zhao nodded, smiling. This is to the point, but it is more vague.

Some things are inconvenient to say.

The government governs the people, and everything can be directly held accountable to the people, and if something happens, there will be officials to take the blame, which is more convenient for him, the emperor, to mediate in the middle.

After all, the Holy Emperor lives in a temple and naturally does not make mistakes.

But at the same time, his own power has been further enhanced, and his voice over his courtiers has been increased, and he can even achieve the point of compulsory division of labor, which greatly improves efficiency.

"Do you have any additional comments?"

Zifei had already had an idea, and said in a deep voice: "The separation of officials and lords must be carried out, and now the Taiwei has sacrificed his own small profits to fulfill His Majesty, which is a great opportunity!" ”

Hearing this, Qin Zhao nodded thoughtfully, "Very good, you continue." ”

"The official position is so virtuous, and the jue Lu is also rewarded. The knight has financial interests but no power. The civil service system, on the other hand, is responsible for management and enjoys political power. ”

"That's right, this is indeed an opportunity...... Qin Zhao's thoughts gradually became clearer.

After hearing his approval, Zifei's tone became more confident.

"After the administrative system is pure, it is convenient to manage, and the title is separated from the administrative system, at least it must be shielded from the central power!"
