After the dispersal of the dynasty, the ministers did not all return to work, and a large number of high-ranking officials quickly concentrated in the central office of power centered on the prime minister.

No one is stupid!

The ministers have all seen that the piece of paper in Yingzheng's hand is full of words when he was in the last dynasty, with Jiang Bai's consistent style, I am afraid that the most important thing is later, and the emperor will not implement it for the time being, but it does not mean that he will not implement it in the future.

"Look, if that one doesn't kill us, I'll dare to eat half of Xianyang City." Li Si said with tears in his eyes.

Feng Qu said: "The problem is that the emperor originally discussed everything with us, but now he no longer informs us, which is the most troublesome." ”

Yes, yes, this is also Li Si's biggest headache.

Jiang Bai's ability to handle government affairs these days has made him feel enough fear.

If the emperor still doesn't tell him about the future design, it means that the emperor is probably already thinking about completely replacing a prime minister, which Li Si can't accept and dare not accept.

Someone suggested that Miss Li should help inquire.

"The more I inquire, the more scared I become, forget it, I'll treat it as if it didn't happen, and honestly go on an errand for the emperor." Feng Quji, Feng Zheng immediately flashed people, and there was no kind of master between them and the emperor to help lubricate.

Let's let Li Si inquire.

"He is the prime minister of Zuo, after inquiring about the emperor's intentions, how can he not inform us, he can't do without our support." Feng Qujian thought so.

Li Si thought about it again and again, but did not ask his wife to find out the news from his daughter.

At this time, not only was the emperor very wary of their foreign ministers, but Jiang Bai was afraid that he had long been dissatisfied with them.

If this is found out, will he still have a chance to regain recognition?

"What's more, at least I know some secrets, although the emperor has an opinion on me for the time being, but this is not enough to make me completely lose trust." Li Si thought to himself.

So, on the day of the establishment of Taifu Temple, Li Si quietly asked Zhao Gao what he thought of the current situation.

Zhao Gao pushed two, three, five: "I'm just an internal servant, how can people like me pay too much attention to these national affairs." ”

Li Si was disdainful, he was sure that Zhao Gao knew too many secrets.

Of course, Zhao Gao knew that Jiang Bai had clearly said that some of Jiuqing's offices should be renamed, and the establishment of Taifu Temple and the dispersion of authority were aimed at letting Shangshutai disperse most of Jiuqing's duties.

For example, the establishment of the six Shangshu and the establishment of subordinate officials are to take away most of the governance power from the hands of the three princes and nine secretaries.

In this way, nominally in the future, the Three Princes and Nine Qing will still be the pinnacle of the Great Qin officials, especially the Three Princes.

But the Three Dukes will inevitably continue to be split, and after the power held by Jiuqing is hollowed out, these positions are only empty shells with higher levels, but the actual power is in the hands of the six departments.

The question is whether this will be opposed by Jiuqing, and if they fiercely oppose it with the power they hold, it may fundamentally disperse the emperor's design of the six parts.

On the day of the establishment of the Taifu Temple, that is, after the staffing of the government office was in place, all levels of the government office would establish a clear understanding of the functions and powers of the Taifu Temple, so the three princes and the nine secretaries had to go to the door to congratulate and incense the world on the day of the announcement, Yingzheng thought clearly about Jiang Bai's deep-seated intentions for the design of Shangshutai and the six departments.

"Shang Shutai is now a low level and small power, and it is completely controlled by the prime minister, and the functional planning is also in great conflict with Jiuqing's position, but isn't Shang Shutai just to assist Jiuqing in dealing with specific state affairs." Ying Zheng laughed secretly.

In this way, Shang Shutai can gradually divide the functions of Jiuqing, and finally form a role that completely replaces Jiuqing.

However, even in the future, Jiuqing, a relatively old official, can in turn be able to check and balance the six ministries, so as not to make the power of the six ministries too powerful and form a new threat.

But Jiang Bai also mentioned a power center that would definitely be established in the future.

That is, a new design that divides the powers of the prime minister.

Jiang Bai first took out the three provinces and six ministries system in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

"The three provinces of Menxia, Zhongshu and Shangshu lead the six departments, and the six departments specifically implement the things decided by the Great Dynasty, and the prime minister has become three, which is in line with the current situation of Daqin." Ying Zheng pondered Jiang Bai's suggestion, walked around the palace and thought.

He originally understood this system to mean that there were at least three prime ministers in the three provinces.

So, when he turned around, he was criticized by Jiang Bai again.

Ying Zheng felt that he understood, so he asked Fusu to go to Jiang Bai and ask what officials to do if the power gap outside the power of the prime minister was divided between the three provinces.

Jiang Bai was designing a cart that would save more livestock strength, and said in astonishment when he heard this: "Does the Yellow Emperor think that the three provinces are to let the three prime ministers take care of each other?" ”

Fusu said strangely: "But isn't this just the right corresponding?" ”

"What you are saying is that a man should also correspond to a woman, do you want to marry only one wife?" Jiang Bai said, "The emperor's comprehension ability shouldn't be so poor, how could he design the power structure of the three provinces and six ministries into three prime ministers and six Shangshu?" ”

Fusu immediately turned out his pen and ink to prepare for the record.

"The prime minister is the prime minister, that is the only one who will always lead the government, and he is the emperor's most trusted power assistant!" Jiang Bai hinted.

Fusu smiled, understanding what he meant.

What is the eternal consul in chief?

In fact, it is nominally in charge of everything.

Controlling everything means that there is no specific authority to refer to.

The latter sentence is more obvious.

If the emperor wants to trust a prime minister, what should this prime minister be?

The ability to do things does not have much ambition for power.

Such a prime minister is, of course, the commander of the three provinces and six ministries.

But if it's not such a person, then it's just a prime minister who can manage everything but can't manage anything!

"The actual master of the three provinces can be the powerful and prestigious Shangshu among the six departments, or the pillar of the country who is not named in the six departments, and can be called the Shangshu of the three provinces, or he can be directly called the deputy prime minister." Jiang Bai said, "A deputy prime minister controls the daily operation of a province, and then divides one or two deputy prime ministers to be responsible for docking with the six ministries and presiding over the specific responsible matters of the three provinces." ”

This time, Fusu understood, and Yingzheng also completely understood.

There are a few more people, each in charge of their own stalls, and they are restrained by each other, and the emperor can control the three provinces through the court meeting above the dynasty, and directly command the specific work of the six departments.

In this way, the prime minister lost the opportunity to directly control the outer court.

And after the six ministries finished digesting the power in Jiuqing's hands, they used Jiuqing to turn around and hold the six ministries hostage, and used some overlapping functions to make them fight with each other.

This is the art of the emperor.

And it is the art of the emperor that is realized through institutionalized operation.

Wouldn't this be much more useful than just thinking about fighting directly with the Three Princes and Nine Princes?

But Ying Zheng was happy and just thought that he had mastered the emperor's art in the eyes of the outer court, and he was scolded by Jiang Bai again.
