Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 507 More monks and less porridge
Chapter 522
A group of students from Taixue helped Ying Gang build momentum, and everything seemed to fall into place very quickly.

Although Yingzheng, as the emperor, didn't know what his son did, he understood that what Yinggang did must be for the long-term stability of the Qin State and the long-term fortune of the empire.

Just after dawn, the vast and simple sound of horns came from the Xianyang Palace, which was full of buildings.

Today is the Dachaohui.

Since Yingzheng came to power, there is no fixed date for Daqin's court meeting.Whether it is a grand court meeting or an ordinary court meeting, His Majesty the young emperor always convenes a court meeting with his ministers at any time, so the courtiers have long been used to it.

In the past two months, the Great Qin Dynasty Hall was calm on the surface, but undercurrents were turbulent inside.

There is no other reason. After Yingzheng returned to Xianyang, for more than two months in a row, a small court meeting was held almost every day in the Yizheng Hall of Xianyang Palace.

And the content of this small court meeting is basically all about discussing the reform of the official system.Yingzheng has already planned to include small officials below the county and township levels into the official official system of the Great Qin, and the reform of the existing government and government of the Great Qin court is the top priority.

This involves too much profit distribution, and also involves the rise and fall of too many aristocratic families.It is inevitable that Yingzheng does not pay attention to it, and it is also inevitable that these hundreds of courtiers who are eligible to participate in the Great Court Meeting do not pay attention to it.

After several months of verbal confrontation, several months of interest exchange and distribution, all courtiers understand that until today, there is finally a result.

In the main hall of Xianyang Palace, countless groups of officials are sitting in a state of distress.

Ying Zheng, who was dressed in a black and gold woven imperial robe, sat upright in the hall.

Zheng Lun stood on the long jade steps, holding the yellow silk in his hands, his shrill voice echoed in the empty and deep hall.

The book in his hand is the new official system.

Nine rank official positions.

Unlike the nine-rank Zhongzheng system made by Cao Wei in history, this system only determines official positions but not birth.

More importantly, the establishment of the nine-rank official system was only arranged for the subsequent imperial examinations.

It can be said that the replacement of the aristocratic aristocrats in the imperial examination to obtain scholars can completely deprive the vested rights of all the aristocratic nobles in Daqin, and the impact on the aristocratic system that has gradually formed in Daqin will be unparalleled.

The reason why aristocrats of aristocratic families are aristocrats is that they can take priority in occupying the position above the court. This is their first means of maintaining their family wealth and reproduction, and it is their core interest.

The Qin State used the imperial examination to select scholars, and it was like digging up the ancestral graves of all the aristocratic families in the Great Qin Dynasty.

On this point, Ying Zheng and his son have a clear enough understanding.

Therefore, step by step, boiling the frog in warm water is the safest way.

After all, it is not a matter of overnight that the huge empire wants to change. Fortunately, they still have time and have enough patience.

"Abolish Taiwei's Mansion, Weiwei's Mansion, and Langzhong Ling's Mansion, and build the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War is in charge of the selection of military officers from all over the world, the military registration, ordnance, and military orders of each army. One Si Cheng, four Si Feng Ling, and nine Yuan Wai Lang."

"Abolish the Shangji Mansion, govern the Su Nei Shi Mansion, and establish the Household Department. The Household Department is in charge of the world's money, grain, taxation, household registration and land, official salaries, official warehouses and treasury. It has four departments of taxation, household registration, land, and treasury. , each division has one Si Cheng, four Si Feng Ling, and nine Yuan Wai Lang."

"Abolish the Shaofu and the Ministry of Construction. The Ministry of Industry is in charge of labor projects, craftsmen, farmland, water conservancy, transportation, etc. in Daqin; under the Ministry of Industry, there are four divisions: the Ministry of Industry, Tuntian, Yubu, and Water. , four commanders, and nine Yuanwailang."

"Abolish the Tingwei Mansion and build the Ministry of Punishment. The Ministry of Punishment is in charge of criminal orders and review of criminal names and other matters. Under the Ministry of Punishment, there are four departments of supervision, court prison, embezzlement and punishment, and criminal punishment. Each department has a prime minister and four officers. , and nine members of the staff."

"Abolish the two mansions of Dianke and Fengchang, and establish the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the Ji, Jia, Jun, Bin, and Ji five rites, in charge of foreign diplomacy of vassals, in charge of sacrificial etiquette, in charge of the world academy, and students. There are four divisions, education, filial piety and integrity, each division has a prime minister, four division commanders, and nine Yuanwailang."

"In addition to the five ministries of soldiers, households, labor, punishment, and rites, a new Ministry of Officials was established to handle the appointment and dismissal of officials under the four ranks of civil servants, examinations, promotions, grants of lords, transfers, etc. Under the Ministry of Officials, there were Ministry of Officials, Examination, lordship, and selection of four divisions, one division chief for each division, four division commanders, and nine Yuanwailang."

"In addition to the Shangshu, each department has a left and right servant. The ministers of each department are the second-rank official system, with a purple ribbon and gold seal, and a jade belt. The ministers of each ministry are the official third-rank official system, with a green ribbon and a silver seal, and a gold belt. , is the official system of the fifth rank, and the bronze seal with green ribbon. The official seal of each division is the official rank of the sixth rank, and the bronze seal with green ribbon. The official Wai Lang of each division is the official system of the seventh rank, and the bronze seal with black ribbon."

After reading this, Zheng Lun's shrill voice stopped abruptly.

The huge main hall of Xianyang Palace was completely silent. Although the courtiers of the Qin Dynasty had already had various speculations about the reform of the official system, they were far less shocked than what they heard at this moment.

This is no longer a reform. It is a complete overthrow of the official system established by Li Si and Ying Zheng, and the re-establishment of a whole different official system.

Because it has not been practiced, and the reform of this official system has obviously reached a consensus with the important officials of Daqin who can enter and exit the political hall, so no matter how shocked they are, all the officials can do is slowly absorb this reading The first edict came out.

Six ministries were formed, and all government offices including the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yushi's Mansion, Zongzheng Mansion, and Tai Pu's Mansion were abolished. The reorganization and distribution of the interests of the whole group can be seen from the appointment of ministers and ministers.

Ying Zheng just announced the establishment, but did not directly announce the candidates for the ministers and ministers.

Such a large abolition and formation will inevitably affect the interests of many people.

Among other things, Dian Ke and Feng Changben are both one of the Jiuqing and have the same status.

But now with this abolition, one of them will inevitably become the Minister of Rites, while the other will decline in status.

For many people who have been in power for many years, this is simply bad news in their later years.

Of course, there are also some people who are indifferent.

For example, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment. Looking at the state of Qin today, very few can compete for this position.

Zheng Guo made great contributions to the Qin State's water conservancy. Even though Gong Shuqiu and the Mohist giant also made a lot of contributions, there is still a big gap compared with him in terms of qualifications and abilities.

And the current Tingwei Yao Jia is also the best candidate for the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.

Even though there are other people who can compete with him, there is really no great competitiveness.

Except for these two Shangshus, we can roughly see the signs, and the other several Shangshus can only be a mystery so far.

But everyone understands the truth that there are more monks than porridge, and more wolves than meat. If you don't attack at this time, you may really have no chance.
