Chapter 183 Qin's New Deal
In the morning court today, the emperor suddenly wanted to rectify the land annexation problem, which surprised everyone.
However, because the emperor and Li Yang had a close conversation at Zhangtai Palace for three days and three nights beforehand, and the sudden meeting of the court was held today, everyone had already had a premonition that something would be announced, so although they were surprised by the land reform, they were also expected, so they were not too shocked.
However, who would have thought that this morning court would be more than just a land reform, but now that the system has been changed, which is something that no one would have thought of.
You should know that during the Xia Dynasty, three dukes and nine ministers were appointed, which lasted until Zhou.
Although Qin changed the Zhou law and established the left and right prime ministers, replacing the three dukes with the prime minister. All matters in the world were decided to be the Prime Minister's Office, but the Prime Minister still under the jurisdiction of the nine ministers.
Now, the Nine Ministers have been abolished, changed their ministry, established the Secretariat, and the official system is a ninth rank. In this way, it is really a new central official system, completely abolishing all the old systems before the Qin Dynasty.
What surprised everyone even more was that the Ministry of Justice and the Minister of State was added to each department, with one official and three auxiliary ministers. Li Yang was actually promoted to the position of President of the Government and his subordinate departments.
This means that Feng Xiang is no longer the one who commands all officials, but the one who commands all officials has become Li Yang, the President of the Government Affairs Council.
One official and three auxiliary officials are very different from the three prime ministers on the right, middle and left.
Although the prime ministers before also had different degrees of superiority and inferiority, and regarded the right prime minister as the highest, the three ministers of the right middle and left were actually equal in name, or on the other hand, and no one was the superior of whom.
But now the three assistants are different. The biggest difference is that there is a difference between superiors and subordinates. Feng Quji, Li Si, and Meng Tian are the vice presidents, so naturally they become the subordinate relationship between Li Yang, the president.
In other words, the three prime ministers in the past were just right prime ministers, but no one could listen to anyone in their posts. Now, Feng Quji, Li Si, and even Meng Tian are under the control of Li Yang.
It is precisely because of this that everyone is really surprised.
Only then did everyone realize that land annexation is not the biggest thing for today's morning court, and reform is the purpose of today's morning court meeting!
Some of Feng Quji's old subordinates were so shocked that their eyes almost fell out, which showed that Feng Xiang and Li Yang had lost in the battle.
But when Li Si, Xiao He, Cao Shen, He Zhang and others heard this edict, their eyes lit up and they were very happy.
Of course, Feng Quji himself did not expect such an accident to happen today, and he was stunned.
I originally thought that after leaving the court, I could push my son Feng Jie to the position of right prime minister to protect the Feng family. It seems that I was thinking too much.
Now, not only has the Prime Minister been deposed, but he has also become a subordinate of Li Yang.
Thinking of this, Feng Quji felt extremely disappointed.
However, Feng Quji also understood in his heart that the emperor did not completely neglect his Feng family, because Feng Jie was the president of the Supervision House, and the supervisory officials were all in charge. The two courts were in power, which made Feng Quji feel a little relieved.
At the same time, he also understood that the emperor announced such a major reform today, which also showed that the emperor had decided to carry out a new coup in the Qin Dynasty, so he valued Li Yang and let him take charge of the court.
So this result is unchangeable unless the new coup fails.
But, do you dare to oppose or hinder Ying Zheng’s new coup change?
Feng Quji asked himself that he did not dare to hinder him.
Now Qin Shihuang is in charge of the central government's power, and the new policy of abolishing the joint position, lightening corvee service, and the land reform that is about to be implemented can be said to be deeply loved by the people, and no one can stop his new policy reform.
At the same time, Feng Quji also saw the superiority of this new official system.
The three ministers and nine ministers system was changed to the departmental and court system, so that Li Yang, the State Council, who was in charge of each department, could facilitate the implementation of the new policy. All new policies and laws can be directly assigned to various departments, which strengthened the implementation of the orders.
If it were the previous three prime ministers' decentralization system, there would be no such superiority. After all, the three prime ministers divided the power of each department, and Li Yang's new policy and laws would not be effectively implemented.
At the same time, the official system of each department of the First Court is also conducive to the emperor's control of central power.
During the new coup, the Government Council could hold great power and do things drastically. However, at the same time, the emperor could undermine the Government Council at any time and directly control the various departments and departments under the Government Council. Therefore, for the emperor, this central institutional system could prevent powerful officials from undermining the imperial power, which was very advanced.
To be honest, if he hadn't lost to Li Yang, he would have been very disappointed, otherwise Feng Quji would have shouted loudly for the institutional system of various departments of the First Hospital.
It is indeed something that extraordinary people can design to optimize this advanced institutional system.
Of course, Feng Quji would not know that this new system was optimized by Ying Zheng and Li Yang from the later systems, combining the cabinet system of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the State Council of New China.
First, the General Administration of the Government can lead the government affairs and implement new policies and reforms, and secondly, it will not affect the status of imperial power, and kill two birds with one stone.
In fact, people from the State Council, including Li Yang, all rose and fell in secret.
For example, Feng Quji was in charge of the government affairs in the past, and most of the officials in the entire court were his. For example, Meng Tian was very famous in the army. Li Yang was about to carry out a new coupon and would be even more powerful in the future.
Now that the reorganization and the establishment of a ministry, the people of the Government Council were in power when the emperor delegated power. When the emperor confiscated power, all the people of the Government Council were undermined, and each ministry was directly under the supervision of the emperor. Therefore, when the emperor confiscated power, the people of the Government Council were demoted, and their power would be less than that of the previous prime minister.
Of course, the reason why Li Yang proposed this new system to Ying Zheng was also for his own safety considerations.
I am about to carry out a new coup in the Qin Dynasty. I will be positioned as a high power in the future. How can I reassure the emperor? Then use this one-house system of departments, so that I can carry out the new coup with confidence, and you, Ying Zheng, can also wait for the result of the new policy with confidence.
Just as the civil and military ministers in the court were in an uproar, and they were talking, Liu Xi sang again: "All the ministers return to their posts, Your Majesty will give me instructions!"
A group of civil and military officials came out one after another and gathered in the center of the hall to listen to the emperor's instructions.
Ying Zheng stood up, glanced at the ministers, and then said with a strong voice: "I know the court and the country!"
"From today, the General Administration of the State Council will lead the government and implement a new coupon reform!"
At this time, Liu Xi carried the tray to Ying Zheng.
I saw a sword placed on the drag plate.
At this moment, everyone was shocked. The emperor was... going to grant the Qin Sword of Mu Gong Zhen to Li Yang!
What is the Qin Sword in Mugong Town?
As the name suggests, it is called "Shenzhen" and "Shenzhen", so this is a sword for "Shenzhen". Not to mention princes and ministers, even royal family members and Qin kings throughout the ages, they are extremely afraid of things.
The Qin sword that Mu Gong controlled the Qin sword was one of the tokens inherited by the Qin kings in all dynasties and had great intimidation. The Qin people had the consensus that "seeing this sword is like seeing Mu Gong", so the descendants of Qin were extremely respectful of the Mu Gong sword.
It can be said that as long as the Qin sword is used to seize Mugong, even the royal family members will have to admit defeat.
Oh my God, is it true that the emperor really wants to grant the Qin sword of Mu Gong to Li Yang?
Sure enough, just the next second, Ying Zheng looked at Li Yang and said, "Li Yang, listen to Feng!"
Li Yang immediately left the line, stepped forward, and went to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng took the sword from the dragging plate, held it in his hands, scanned the ministers, and said, "Now I am appointed Li Yang as the President of the Government Affairs Council, and I will be appointed as the Qin Sword of Mu Gong, preside over the new policy, and control all officials and departments!"
"Those who dare to ruin the new coupon of our Great Qin and cause trouble and chaos, no matter the royal family or the princes and ministers, can use this sword to exercise the power of life and death!"
"Li Yang, lead the sword!"
Li Yang was also extremely surprised because the matter of granting the Qin sword to Mu Gong was not discussed before.
Therefore, Li Yang was extremely surprised, and at the same time, he was trusted by Ying Zheng, and felt a surge of blood. So he immediately took the Qin sword in Mu Gong with both hands, took two steps back, turned around, and took the Qin sword in Mu Gong to everyone, shouting: "The transformation of the Qin Dynasty is necessary, and the new policies and laws are the whole country to go together!"
At this time, Feng Quji also knew that the new policy was necessary, so he took the lead and shouted: "The new policy of Qin State, the whole country will work together, and change the Qin Dynasty and will last forever!"
The ministers in the hall immediately called out:
"The new policy of Qin State, the whole country is united, and the transformation and strengthening Qin will last forever!"
"The new policy of Qin State, the whole country is united, and the transformation and strengthening Qin will last forever!"
“…………”
The sound is shocking and lasting for a long time, making people feel excited!
According to later generations, in October 209 BC, the Qin State was reorganized and a new coup reform was carried out in an all-round way...
