Chapter 51 The Prime Minister and the Imperial Doctor

"During the period of the widow's royal conquest, the matter of supervising the country was handed over to the eldest son of the widow, Fusu, who was in charge of the rule, and you should be loyal to the code and assist the eldest son to stabilize the government."

As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, he saw that the ministers below raised their heads one after another, their faces shocked.

This time, the reaction of the ministers was not entirely acting, at least thirty percent of them were the true emotions in their hearts.

Although there have been rumors in the court that Fusu is in charge of the country, there is no direct evidence to prove this, and in the speculation of the hundred officials themselves, Fusu is young after all, and it is really unlikely that he will be imprisoned now.

Unexpectedly.

Now that King Qin has really given power to his eldest son Fusu, who is only thirteen years old, some of the meanings behind this are worth recalling.

For a while, the ministers of the DPRK and China had different expressions, but they did not show too much shock.

Ying Zheng's choice to let Fusu supervise the country is indeed a surprising thing, but it is only surprising. In this grand court meeting, what really deserves their attention is not the people who "supervise the country", but the people who assist the "prison of the country".

This is what they care about the most in the next process.

"Alternate ·····"

Just in the thoughts of the ministers, I saw Ying Zheng looking down with a majestic gaze, and then gradually stayed on the body of Xiong Qi, the king of Changping, and said in a deep voice: "Feng Chang Xiong Qi has been dedicated to the code for many years, hard work, and the widow has declared an edict in the name of the King of Qin, and from now on, he will be promoted to Chang Xiong Qi as the right prime minister of Great Qin." ”

"During the period of the widow's royal expedition, Xiong Qing, as the head of a hundred officials, wholeheartedly assisted the widow's eldest son Fusu to deal with the government and stabilize the country."

When the edict of Yingzheng was officially issued, even the city government of Changping Jun couldn't help but show a smile on his face that was difficult to hide, strode out of the ranks of the hundred officials, bowed down and said: "Minister, obey the king's edict." ”

Zhao Gao, the chamberlain next to Ying Zheng, stepped down and handed over the official mansion, official seals and other items representing the "Right Prime Minister of the Qin State" to Changping Jun.

This moment.

The courtiers in the court, who represented the power of "Chu foreign relatives", showed excitement and joy in their eyes.

The rest of the ministers were flickering, first looking at Changping Jun in front of them a few times, and then gradually shifting their gaze to Mo Jun.

Although they didn't know how Changping Jun took the position of "right prime minister" into their hands, they knew that in this game, Mo Jun lost.

As early as a few days ago.

There have been rumors in the court that the court will canonize the long-vacant position of "prime minister", but who will be canonized in the end has not been decided.

And this is also the one thing that all civil and military officials are most concerned about in today's "Great Dynasty Meeting", because this represents a change in the situation in the court.

The prime minister is the head of the hundred officials.

Great Qin is respected by the right, so the position of the right prime minister is the current Qin State, there is no doubt that "under one person, above ten thousand".

It can be said that this position is the lifelong pursuit of all civil officials.

As the dust settles on the position of "prime minister", the minds of many officials above the court have turned rapidly, thinking that they should probably move closer to the "Chu foreign relatives" in the future.

And some officials who were originally in the "Chu foreign relatives" force, after Xiong Qi won the position of "Right Prime Minister", couldn't help but secretly cast a smug and provocative look at Mo Jun.

Go without saying.

This kind of child-like behavior was naturally done by Chang Pingjun's younger brother, Chang Wenjun.

It's no wonder that Chang Wenjun is so naïve, after all, since Mo Jun came to power, all the people in the entire "Chu Foreign Relatives Lineage" have hardly had a good life.

Mo Jun's rise was too sudden, and before the "Four Great Clans" case in Nanjun, Chang Pingjun and Chang Wenjun didn't even have Mo Jun in their eyes.

And when Mojun rose, he gave a big gift to the "Chu Foreign Relatives Lineage" on the same day, and directly hammered Changping Jun dizzy.

By the time Changping Jun came back to his senses again, Mo Jun had already become the Shengping Jun of the Qin State and the ruler of Su Neishi.

Arguably.

After living for so many years, the brothers Changping Jun and Changwenjun have never been so aggrieved.

Now that the two of them have finally won Mo Jun in the court through the power of the Empress Dowager Huayang, how could they not have the idea of raising their eyebrows in their hearts.

But before Chang Wenjun could be proud, suddenly, he heard Yingzheng on the throne speak again:

"In addition to this matter, Shi Mojun made great contributions to the management of snow disasters last winter, and developed [Winter Wheat] to increase the heritage of Daqin, which can be described as an outstanding achievement."

From now on, Shi Mojun officially received the post of "Imperial Doctor" and has the position of supervising hundreds of officials. ”

“······”

This sudden edict was issued, and the entire court instantly fell into a dead silence, and Chang Wenjun, who was still showing a smug and provocative look at Mo Jun just now, his whole face became stiff in an instant, as if he had eaten.

Xiong Qi, who was at the head of the civil officials, raised his head abruptly and looked at Yingzheng on the throne, but Yingzheng above was too far away and wore a crown, so he couldn't see his expression clearly.

The only thing Xiong Qi could see was the majesty on Ying Zheng's body that was almost difficult to look at.

Until this moment.

Xiong Qicai suddenly discovered that today's Yingzheng is no longer the young king who was once mixed between him, Lu Buwei, and Chang Yu, and had no rights and could only go with the flow.

No one in today's Yingzheng can interfere with his decision, he can't, and neither can the Empress Dowager Huayang.

"Minister, obey the king's edict."

Mo Jun stood up and said loudly.

The edict of Mojun as the "Imperial Historian" is obviously not in the process prepared in advance by the Great Imperial Meeting, this is the decision of Yingzheng alone, and no one can oppose it.

And behind this seemingly simple thing, it also represents many meanings.

First of all, it is necessary to understand.

What is the official position of the Imperial Doctor?

The official system of the Qin State was the "Three Princes and Nine Secretaries System".

Among them, the three princes are: Prime Minister, Taiwei, and Imperial Doctor.

The prime minister is the head of the civil service.

Taiwei is the head of the generals.

And the position of Imperial Doctor is the most special, which belongs neither to civil officials nor military generals. The duty of the Imperial Historian is not to govern, but to supervise, and the Imperial Historian has the right to supervise hundreds of officials, even the Prime Minister and the Imperial Lieutenant are among them.

The original purpose of establishing this official position was to check and balance the rights of the prime minister and the lieutenant.

All three belong to the same level in terms of official positions, and they are all the highest-ranking officials in the entire Qin State after the King of Qin.

From the point of view of official positions alone.

Ying Zheng chose to enshrine Changping Jun as the "Right Prime Minister" today, and at the same time as he edicted Mojun as the "Imperial Historian", it seems that it is just for a check and balance of power.

But when you dig deeper, you will find that this matter is much more than that······
