Three days later.

After three days of fermentation, Xianyang did not die down, but talked more and more, and began to spread to nearby counties.

The middle and lower-level officials in Xianyang also talked about it.

It's just that compared with the bustle in the city, the officials of the major government offices have remained quiet and have not made an obvious statement.

Everything is strange.

Twilight.

The officials of the major government offices in Xianyang returned home one after another, but Meng Tian, Feng Qujian and others did not leave in a hurry, but took a carriage to the outside of the reform mansion.

This former doctor's school palace has been revitalized after the arrival of more and more officials in the reform palace.

Outside the house.

There were quite a few soldiers standing in the column.

Meng Tian's face was calm, he glanced at Feng Quji and the others, stepped into this realm, and as soon as he walked in, a small official came to greet him warmly.

Seeing that it was just a small official, Feng Quji, Tao She and others were displeased, they were important ministers of Great Qin, and their status was prominent, and now they deigned to come, no matter what Ji Heng said, they should greet each other in person.

Let a few little officials come to greet them, isn't this looking down on them? Are you deliberately giving them a look, trying to give them a dismount?!

Many people snorted coldly, and they were even more anxious, directly pointing out that Sang scolded Huai, but they only expressed their dissatisfaction, and did not make a big fuss, and they would not lose their status too much because of this.

Not for a while.

Meng Tian and the others arrived in the lobby.

Ji Heng had been waiting in the lobby for a long time, he looked at Meng Tian and other important ministers of the court, the corners of his mouth raised a touch of arc, and said: "Your Majesty just sent someone to tell you something, and I was busy telling you some things with those swordsmen and pencils, and I missed the ministers, please forgive me." ”

said.

Ji Heng bowed slightly towards everyone.

Meng Tian raised his sleeves slightly, and said lightly: "It's okay, it's just some trivial matters, and the things that Your Majesty explained are more important." ”

"I waited for this time to come here to hear your thoughts and ideas on the restructuring."

Ji Heng nodded.

He seated the ministers.

Then he sent someone to bring hot tea, and after a brief attendance, Ji Heng took a sip of tea, moistened his throat slightly, and said, "Actually, all the ministers know it very well in their hearts. ”

"Restructuring is just a euphemism, and its real name should be reform."

"The reason why I use the word restructuring is that I don't want to make a big move like the law change in the past, and I don't want to make things too ruthless."

"Here's why."

"It's not that I can't bear it, it's not that I can't do it, but as Prime Minister Feng said a few days ago, it's actually not time to restructure."

"Daqin has not reached the point of life and death, and the current Daqin is thriving as a whole, and it is also moving towards a stable state."

"I have no problem with the ministers."

"There is no grudge."

"The reason why this seemingly untimely 'restructuring' is actually just to lay a longer-term foundation for Daqin."

"I am afraid that you have all heard of the wind report, and you have also heard the public opinion of the people in the city at the moment, and that is the simple and sincere expression of the true feelings of most of the people in Daqin."

"Daqin's current stability is actually not real stability, but disgust with the past strife and wars in the world."

"So they were willing to endure it."

"And this kind of endurance will not last, because the system left by the first emperor is inherently broken and chaotic."

"The first emperor has the ambition to reform the world, but the day is not a holiday, and because of the constraints of current affairs, many of them end in a sloppy manner, or they are anticlimactic, or they are spliced together with various policies, and finally become a seam and a patch."

"It's not all over the world."

"Today, Your Majesty has the will to inherit the legacy of the first emperor, and has the foundation for reforming the world, so there is the advent of the reform mansion."

"This restructuring will not be as fierce as before, nor will it be as cruel as the previous changes, the reason is just to continue the innovation of the first emperor."

"This is the antecedent of the restructuring!"

Ji Heng sat in danger and slowly explained the reasons for the restructuring.

The crowd was silent.

There were no words.

Ji Heng said again: "The preface has been made clear to all the ministers, and you should also understand the need for me to implement the reform." ”

"Restructuring is imperative and unstoppable, which is the foundation for Daqin's long-term success in the future."

"But today, my first thing to talk about is not other aspects of restructuring, but the military."

"Prime Minister Meng and Taiwei Li Xin probably already know about this matter, and there may be other ministers who have heard about it more or less."

Ji Heng looked at the people on the side.

Meng Tian frowned, a cold light flashed in Li Xin's eyes, and it quickly converged, Zhang Cang, Tao She, and Shi Lu all stared slightly.

Feng Qujian and Ma Xing looked slightly different.

They don't know about it.

But they are all people with active minds, and when they saw the expressions of Meng Tian and Li Xin, they already understood whether what Ji Heng said was true or false.

Li Xin said: "Military affairs are state secrets, and it is inconvenient for the outside world to know about them. ”

Ji Heng bowed his head.

He smiled and said: "Military secrets are indeed not suitable for outsiders, but you are all important ministers of the imperial court, and there are some things that you should know." ”

"And it's also about restructuring."

Ji Heng put his hands on the case and said lightly: "Daqin is gradually dividing military power into two, one part outside the main and some inside the master. ”

"Outside the main is the Great Qin National Defense Army, which is composed of the Northern Plains Army and the South China Sea Army, and its main task is naturally to defend the border and expand the territory."

"Only responsible for the frontier and the outside world."

"And local soldiers such as local pavilion soldiers, county soldiers, and county soldiers will all be classified as internal troops in the future, and they will be responsible for internal security and stability."

"I don't know exactly how it will be done, but there is one point, and the most important point in the division between the internal and external armies, is that the foreign army applies the military merit system, while the domestic army is based on the internal affairs of the people."

"Military status can be changed to civilian status through the transfer of non-commissioned officers, etc., and the people cannot be converted into the army, unless there are special circumstances and the emperor gives permission, otherwise once you are discharged from the army, you can not return to the army."

"As for national defense, it is responsible for another system, and the two do not interfere with each other, and there is no overlap of powers."

"That's why I'm saying this."

"It is to tell the ministers that the civil lord must be launched, and the sooner the better, otherwise it will affect the army, and I am afraid that you and I cannot afford it."

"Again."

"The separation of the military and the government is also conducive to the stability of the world."

"The division of the military and the people is the trend of the times, and it is also the urgent need of the moment, not only the needs of the army, the needs of the imperial court, but also the needs of the world."

"Also."

"I know something about Han Shin."

"This person does not like to be in politics, only good at military affairs, if the military and politics are separated, most of this person will not choose to leave the army, but will continue to stay in the army."

"There are a lot of similarities."

Hear the words.

Many ministers looked at each other differently.

Especially when he heard that Han Xin didn't like internal affairs, he instantly understood Ji Heng's thoughts, with Han Xin's military exploits, if he was in power, he would definitely be ranked among the three dukes, and when Han Xin was in the middle of the court, the Kwantung power would inevitably rise.

If Han Shin could not enter the DPRK, without Han Shin's fulcrum in the DPRK, the Kwantung forces would probably continue to be suppressed.

Ji Heng smiled faintly, looked at the expressions of the three princes and nine kings on the side, picked up the teacup on the table, and tasted it in small sips.

The look is relaxed.

Moment.

Li Xin shook his head and said: "The status of being in the DPRK is completely different from that of the army, even if Han Xin is really a good soldier, he may not be able to resist the temptation to enter the DPRK." ”

Li Xin directly poured cold water.

Ji Heng nodded, but his expression was calm, and there was no change, and he continued: "So the political status of the Wehrmacht will be greatly improved. ”

"Promoted to the same level as the court."

"It's just that the imperial court is in charge of internal affairs, and national defense is the main thing, and in the future, the affairs of the army will belong to the army, and the affairs of internal affairs will belong to the imperial court.

"However, the weight of grain and grass must still be controlled by the Shaofu, and in this regard, the local government, the imperial court office, and the military and political departments come to negotiate together every year at the time of the General Assembly."

"In the local area, the generals in the army have status, but they have no real power status, and in the army, the ministers of the court have status, but they do not transfer the command authority."

"Implement a complete separation of military and political affairs."

Hear the words.

Li Xin's eyes were slightly downcast.

He understood the deep meaning of this, that is, he was restricting the collusion between the generals of the army and the ministers of the DPRK and China, and deliberately drew a line so that those in the DPRK could not touch the military power, and those who led the troops could not collude with the ministers of the DPRK and China.

And the grain, grass and baggage are all controlled by the imperial court.

And so it goes.

The status of the chief officer of the local county is lower than that of the general stationed in the frontier, so the collusion between the local government and the army is avoided to a certain extent.

The frontier generals did not have access to the imperial court officials, nor did they have economic autonomy, so it was difficult for them to have other thoughts.

In the end, it is guaranteed that military power will not be left behind.

To another extent, this has also weakened the powers of the Prime Minister's Office, and the corresponding powers of the major government offices have also been weakened.

Silence for a while.

Li Xin said curiously: "How did you learn about such a military secret?" ”

Ji Heng said lightly: "Naturally, someone told me, and I am in charge of the restructuring, how can I have no understanding of this?" ”

Li Xin looked at Ji Heng deeply for a few moments, and finally spoke: "The imperial court does have the intention of dividing the army into the inside and outside, in this case, in order to avoid chaos between the military and the government, and to avoid the reciprocation of the military and the government, it is bound to be settled in a new way. ”

"The division between military and civilian, in my opinion, has merit."

As Li Xin spoke, the faces of the others changed slightly, Li Xin was a lieutenant of the court, a high and powerful position, and the army was involved, once he spoke, it would have a great impact on others.

Moreover, this is the first time that Li Xin has recognized the civil lord.

Meng Tian bowed his head and said: "There should be no slack in the affairs of the army, the division between the army and the people is excellent, in my opinion." ”

Meng Tian also expressed his attitude.

Ji Heng has talked about this, how can he say anything to dissuade him?

His Majesty obviously has the intention of recovering power, and Ji Heng is relying on this, taking advantage of His Majesty's momentum, to pressure others to agree to set up another civil lord.

And once the people are opened, it is like the opening of the embankment, many things are beyond them, under Ji Heng's ferocious momentum, this opening will only be torn bigger and bigger, and the tide will pour in more and more, and finally the existing system of Daqin and them will be completely covered and submerged.

They can't do anything about it.

Others know this too.

Therefore, they have not opened their mouths for a long time, and this opening basically means that the restructuring will begin to be formally implemented, and their powers will be gradually restricted, or even reduced.

Ji Heng did not urge.

Just drink on your own.

His eyes glanced imperceptibly at a few swordsmen writing with pens nearby.

What is said today will be recorded.

But it is not clear whether it will actually go down in history.

The hall is dead.

Feng Quji, Ma Xing and the others looked quite embarrassed, their eyes were very hesitant, but after pondering for a long time, they finally reluctantly bowed their heads.

They can't stand it.

This is obviously with His Majesty's will, not to mention that Meng Tian and Li Xin have spoken, how dare they directly oppose it again?

Furthermore.

What's the use of opposing it.

Let Han Xin enter the dynasty and rank as the third duke? At that time, I am afraid that the controversy will be even greater, but now it is just the lesser of two evils.

With Feng Quji's opening.

The others also wavered one after another, and finally the three dukes and nine ministers of the imperial court all agreed to set up another civil lord.

Ji Heng smiled with satisfaction.

He said with a relaxed expression: "Since all the ministers have agreed, then many things will be easy to do, and I can also express my heart this time and confide in some of the thoughts in my heart." ”

"I intend to divide the civil title into eighteen levels, that is, except for the Marquis of Che and the Marquis of Guannai, which are not within the scope of the civil lordship, the others are consistent with the military merit system."

"And the Minjue is divided into nine levels within the system, or it can be called nine grades."

"Single is the bottom, double is the top."

"The deputy is the bottom, and the right is the top."

"False is below, true is superior."

"In this way, the officials of Daqin, through their respective official positions and powers, are clearly divided, from the pavilion to the li to the county, the county, but then there is one more state, and then to the court."

"In this way, we will make adjustments to Yulu and others, but this matter is not in a hurry, and it will take a while to make detailed planning."

"In addition."

"That is, the retirement system should be established as soon as possible, so that the civil lord can be initially applied, and at the same time, it will be publicized to the world, and then the law can be adjusted and changed accordingly according to the civil lord."

"But the most important thing is to start with the government first, and gradually implement it, so that local officials know the truth."

said.

Ji Heng paused, deliberately stopped, and then did not continue to speak about the people, the topic changed, and talked about another thing.

He spoke: "All the ministers are aware of the contents of the briefing, do you have any opinions and opinions on the methods proposed above?" ”

Feng Qujian said coldly: "The policy can be pushed down, but some specific situations need to be discussed separately." ”

Ji Heng nodded: "Some of these ideas are indeed not suitable, and they should indeed be changed, which is normal. ”

"But you really approve of it?"

Ji Heng looked at the officials on the side.

Feng Quji's face sank, and a look of gloom flashed in his eyes, but he still suppressed his anger and said: "Everyone knows that this matter has been rumored, even if there are objections, what can it do?" Can it be stopped? ”

"I'm just curious, what else do you have to do, this so-called retirement system is actually not critical, after all, people over sixty years old are a minority, and it has no great impact on the vast majority of officials in the world."

"Again."

"You have also set a precedent, and you have also given the Lord a good foothold, and you will not offend too many people because of this, but will win the support of many people, and this also means ......"

"What you want to do is even more true!"

"What else do you want to do? Since you summoned us this time, don't fool around with such trivial matters, and tell me what your true intentions are. ”

Feng Qujian also completely lowered his face. (End of chapter)
