Xianyang Palace.

The solution given by Ji Heng has appeared in the big case of Fusu.

After reading it, Fusu put it aside, and right now, he still has the most important thing to do.

It didn't take long.

Meng Tian, Feng Quji, Li Xin, Ma Xing, Shi Lu, Zhang Cang and other three princes and nine kings have stood in the hall in order.

Fu Su looked relaxed and said with a smile: "You Aiqing don't need to be so restrained, just sit down, I called you here this time, mainly for one thing." ”

"It's the charter!"

"As for what charter is set, I am afraid that you all know it in your hearts, and it is time for the world's official system to change."

"It's also for the stability of the world."

"I believe that the ministers will understand my painstaking efforts."

Meng Tian and the others glanced at each other, and hurriedly arched their hands and said, "The minister can understand." ”

Hear the words.

Fu Su smiled and pressed his hand: "Sit down first, this matter is not in a hurry, there are things, such an important matter, how can it be explained thoroughly in a while?" ”

"No." Meng Tian and the others agreed and sat down in turn.

Fusu said: "Regarding the suggestions I put forward, do you Aiqing have any specific thoughts and suggestions, and you also think that what should be limited. ”

The temple was quiet.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one would speak.

Slightly.

Zhang Cang got up and said: "Your Majesty's time for your ministers to think is too short, and the ministers are afraid that they will not think it through, if they lose their words, please ask Your Majesty to calm your anger." ”

Fu Su laughed, not caring and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say, I was looking for your advice and opinions this time, what is the crime?" ”

Zhang Cang bowed his head, he glanced at the other officials around him a few times, hesitated for a moment and said: "The minister is not very clear about His Majesty's future system reform, so he can only say some of his own superficial understanding. ”

"From what the minister knows so far, and what the minister himself can take into account, His Majesty deeply feels anxious about the governance of the world, and is determined to strengthen his control over the Kanto, so he wants to restore the 'state' system of the ancient period in the world."

"In the minister's opinion, this matter is promising."

As he spoke, Zhang Cang paused, he didn't look at Fusu, but glanced at the other officials around him imperceptibly.

Seeing that these people were still silent, he couldn't help frowning, and continued stubbornly:

"It's just that in this way, Daqin has to change in many aspects, not only the official system, but also the functions of the relevant official offices, as well as the division of the state and the determination of the state capital, which may not be easily determined in a year or two."

"Therefore, the minister thinks that this matter is urgent."

Fusu nodded.

He glanced at Zhang Cang lightly, a faint smile swept up at the corner of his mouth, and Zhang Cang was clearly looking at the left and right to say something else.

The matter of system restructuring will not be in a hurry, and he has not said that he will promote the implementation as soon as possible.

Uttered some pointless nonsense.

However, Fusu also knew why Zhang Cang said this, and he didn't want to be the first to open that mouth, if he said it wrong, it would undoubtedly cause dissatisfaction among others, and it might also cause displeasure to himself.

So deliberately avoid the serious.

Fusu said slowly: "This matter is indeed urgent, but the relevant regulations must also be mentioned, but it will take a lot of time to implement it." ”

"At present, the center of gravity of the court should be on the Special Administrative Region."

"How to choose the Kanto city, it is up to the prime minister to make a screening according to the situation of each place."

Meng Tian and Feng Qujian hurriedly said, "The minister receives the order." ”

Fusu continued, "I really want to hear what you have to say this time. ”

The crowd was silent.

Long.

Meng Tian took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's suggestion, the minister thinks that it will be of great benefit to Great Qin, with the continuous innovation of the system, the past system of Great Qin is destined to slowly fail to keep up with the times." ”

"There has to be a change, too."

"The increase in the number of local officials will inevitably lead to a more stringent selection of court officials, and only by establishing an effective and sound system can Daqin always walk on the right path."

"The minister thinks that the world official system should be abolished!"

"The minister has a few points of view."

"First, with the expansion of the territory of Great Qin and the gradual increase in control of the world, the daily political affairs that our courtiers need to deal with have become a lot more than in the past, and it is difficult for the body to bear such a high-intensity position for a long time."

"Second, after the unification of the world, all the talents of the world will be in the hands of His Majesty, and if you want to use the talents of the world for the court thoroughly, you must be given enough space to display your talents."

"Only by establishing an effective entry and exit system can we always ensure the smooth circulation of the Daqin system and the health of the Daqin system."

"Third, people will get old after all, once they get old, not only lack energy, but also become weaker and weaker, and after a long time in the court, it is easy to lose the correct judgment of the form of the world, and it is difficult to really keep up with the context of the world."

"At that time, it is easy to deviate in policy and implementation, and invert Daqin in a negative situation."

"For the country, the people and for oneself, Great Qin should change the world's official system."

"Be kind!"

Meng Tian looked solemn.

He knew that his words would easily offend other courtiers, but these were indeed heartfelt words, and today, it was no longer in the past.

In the world of great controversy, the occurrence of events such as Qu Wo Daiyi, Tian Daiqi, and the division of the three families has marked that the relationship between the monarch and the minister will no longer be as close as in the past.

The monarch is always suspicious and hesitant.

This is also inevitable.

Now that Fusu has given birth to a desire to change, even if they insist on opposing it, what use can it be? It will only provoke the dissatisfaction of Fusu, and once there is a problem in political affairs, I am afraid that it will be made a big fuss.

It is not guaranteed to be late.

If they don't take the initiative to be decent, how can Your Majesty show mercy? How will he save face for them?

By then, it's too late.

The last sentence he said actually had a certain sense of awakening, and it made no sense to continue to bite and hold on, and when he retreated, he retreated.

The only thing they can do.

It is to take the opportunity to seek more benefits for himself.

And this may also be the purpose of His Majesty's summoning of them this time, so that both parties can have a decent situation.

Listen to Meng Tian's words.

Ma Xing, Feng Qujian and the others' faces changed slightly, they didn't expect Meng Tian to let go so quickly, but several of them were people with active minds, and after a little thought, they understood the reason, and their eyes sank.

An instant.

Other officials also chimed in: "The words of the minister and the prime minister, now that the political affairs of Great Qin are getting busier and busier, for the sake of Great Qin and the world, some adjustments should indeed be made." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

“……”

With Meng Tian taking the lead in speaking, others also relented one after another, and they all began to express their approval.

Side.

Zhang Cangdian breathed a sigh of relief.

Meng's influence in the court is really remarkable, Meng Tian said a little, and the other officials agreed, if it was replaced by him, I am afraid that no one would listen to him at all.

This also made Zhang Cang's heart settle slightly.

What he was determined about was not Montessori's influence, but with Montessori in front of him, even if he was really considered the leader of the Kanto gang, he should not be in the way.

Looked at.

Fusu nodded.

He glanced at Meng Tian deeply, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "All Aiqing can understand my difficulties, and I am very relieved. ”

"But what should we do?"

The hall fell silent again.

That's the key.

What criteria should be used to evaluate the advance and retreat, the current three princes and nine kings, compared with the time of the first emperor, have changed a lot, but the resignation at that time, more or less, had the pressure of the first emperor.

There are no written rules, and there are no unspoken rules that follow the rules.

Now.

It's up to them to decide.

This decision is not easy to make, and it will affect many people, not only themselves, but also the follow-up officials.

If it's too harsh, or too urgent, I'm afraid that the families that make their decisions won't be too good, so they have to be cautious.

Fusu did not urge.

He wants the courtiers below him to speak out for themselves, otherwise won't it become his own persecution?

Tao She and Shi Lu glanced at each other a few times, looked at Feng Quji, and then at Feng Zheng, and a different color flashed in their eyes.

Looked at.

Feng Quji's face changed slightly.

He couldn't see the strangeness in the eyes of these people, and the Taoshe people were very in favor of this suggestion, because it was to make room for them.

Feng Quji's eyes were uncertain.

He knew very well in his heart that his Feng clan had now become the target of public criticism, and the three members of the clan were ranked among the three princes and nine kings, and in the past, due to the prominence of the Feng clan, others did not dare to express their opinions and opinions.

But now.

If the order of the court changes.

The situation of the three of them in the Feng family is probably going to change directly, and they are the oldest compared to others.

It is also the most likely to step back.

When the time comes.

It may not be Feng Zheng or Feng Wuxuan who will take over, and several others may be able to sit in their own position as prime minister.

Ponder for a moment.

Feng Qujian sighed in his heart.

Although he is cautious and cautious in the court, he is not easy to show off, but the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

Meng Tian is now the only one in the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, and after Meng Yi returned from Kanto, he was impeached by Kwantung officials and only ended up in the position of imperial history.

He, Feng, has completely become the target of public criticism.

Although he was depressed, he was helpless, and now his Feng existence has obviously become the target of other officials.

Even......

It is also the object of His Majesty's deliberate beating.

He pondered for a moment, and took the initiative to come out of the ranks, the matter had come to this, and there was no point in continuing to hold on, and he was bound to retreat this time.

Rather than so.

It is better to sell other officials a goodwill.

Take the initiative to do something.

He arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have seen several court movements in the past, basically the old ministers took the initiative to return to their hometowns, and they were all due to lack of energy, old age and decline, unable to keep pace with the monarch, and difficult to be competent for court affairs. ”

"Courage, it is recommended to limit the age."

"Your Majesty, please."

Hear the words.

Fusu pretended to be surprised, and then showed a sudden appearance, looked at the other courtiers and asked, "What do you think of Aiqing?" ”

Meng Tian and the others glanced at each other, and hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

"Since age is limited, how should this age be chosen? What is the age limit? is mainly based on Shi Qin's age, or the actual age. Fusu asked.

Feng Qujian said in a deep voice: "The minister thinks that when it is the actual age, the age of the official is not appropriate, many talented people, early in the Qin, are now in the prime of life, if they are allowed to retreat, will it not be a waste of talent?" ”

Fusu nodded yes.

He asked, "What age should I be in that period?" ”

A word fell.

Lift the temple and be as quiet as a valley.

The threshold of age is too important, one more year or one year less may be stuck in countless people, and countless people can be stopped.

This is the difference between climbing to the sky in one step and falling to the bottom, how dare they not pay attention to it?

Feng Qujian took a deep breath, his gaze swept over the faces of several other people one by one, pondered in his heart for a while, his gaze was cloudy, and said tentatively: "Minister...... It is believed that it should be limited to fifty. ”

"If the minister remembers correctly, there is a saying in the Analects that fifty knows the destiny of heaven, so it may be most appropriate to retire at the age of fifty."

Hearing Feng Quji's standard, except for Meng Tian, Tao She, and Shi Lu, everyone else in the hall frowned, because they were all over fifty years old.

If Feng Quji's suggestion was followed, they would all have reached the age of retirement.

Hear the words.

Fusu hurriedly shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The prime minister is joking? Fifty is in the prime of life, and he is in the prime of life, how can he retire so early. ”

"Nope."

Fusu directly vetoed it.

Immediately, Fusu took the initiative to say an age: "According to me, then it must be seventy years old, the old prime minister Wang in the past, the old prime minister Li Si, etc., all retired after the age of seventy." ”

"Let's take a little bit now."

"Why do you think?"

Hearing Fusu's suggestion, Meng Tian and the others hurriedly shook their heads, where could they not hear the deep meaning of Fusu's words, if it is really limited to seventy years old, what is the difference between changing and not changing?

"No."

"The situation of several old prime ministers cannot be generalized, and the political affairs handled by the situation at that time and the busyness of government affairs were not as good as now."

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

Seeing the opposition of the ministers, Fu Su frowned, and said with a displeased face: "I think it is very suitable, and seventy is not old." ”

Then.

Feng Qujian smiled bitterly, and took the initiative to take the words: "Your Majesty, the minister is over seventy years old, and he knows his actual situation very well, and his energy has been greatly reduced, and he can't bear such a heavy government affairs in the court. ”

"If it weren't for His Majesty's trust, the minister would have retired a long time ago, and seventy years is absolutely unacceptable."

"According to the minister's opinion, it is limited to sixty, and the local officials of the court must retire until they are sixty years old, unless a special appointment is arranged for the court."

Fusu shook his head and said lightly: "Sixty? ”

"Nope."

"I think that the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries should not be included in this list, and the Great Qin should be held every five years, and the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries can break through this boundary, but they cannot exceed one full term."

"What do you think?"

Listening to the range of Fusu's words, several people looked at each other a few times, secretly pondered in their hearts, and finally nodded.

Compared with other officials, the term of office of the three princes and nine secretaries has not been shortened much, mainly shortened by the following counties and ordinary courtiers.

How can they disagree?

However, how long they can live is not up to them, and as far as the current situation stands, the vast majority of people in the world do not live to sixty.

So on the whole, this age limit has a very weak impact on the world, but it does set an upper limit.

Ten days later.

A notice was posted in the city.

And the content of the notice also quickly spread all over the world with the postman's order.
