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

Chapter 509
Chapter 524
South of Xianyang City, Li Mansion.

The grand court meeting held in the main hall of Xianyang Palace lasted from Chenshi to Weishi.

Rumors that many government offices will be abolished and the new three provinces and six departments will be set up have been rumored by many people before.

After the emperor's tough stance was spread from the mouths of some important ministers at the prince's suggestion, everyone in the Qin Dynasty knew that the abolition of government offices and the reform of the official system were unstoppable, not to mention that the emperor was not fighting against the entire Qin Dynasty alone. There are many Sangongs and Jiuqings in the ruling and opposition parties.

The emperor had the absolute support of General Meng Tian, ​​Prime Minister Zuo Feng Quji, Zongzheng Yingteng, the Wang family of the military, and a group of nobles from the old Qin family represented by the three major families of Su, Fang, and Fan.

Although these forces are small in number, they control the core area of ​​Qin State.

Therefore, what the officials of the Great Qin Dynasty who cannot enter the Yizheng Hall are really concerned about is how many people can be included in the newly established three provinces and six ministries, how many people can rush to the forefront, and how many people will be directly eliminated. Shoot dead at the bottom of the water.

In the lobby of Li's Mansion, there is very little sandalwood smoke, and people are drinking wine at the moment.

"Sir, this, eating looks a little too ugly."

Yao Jia picked up the wine bottle on the bronze table in front of him, drank it in one gulp, and said in a muffled voice.While speaking, he quietly pointed to the sky with his hand.

This voice is either loud or small.

It's just that although the courtiers of the Li family in the hall were always chatting happily, their eyes were fixed on the top four copper tables in the hall.

Those who sit behind the four bronze tables are the ones who can determine the fate of many people in this hall and even in Daqin.

Li Si's eldest son, Li Yougao, sits at the head of the lobby, and below him are Yao Jia, the former official of the Ministry of Punishment, who is now a senior official of the Ministry of Punishment, Ma Xing, a former imperial servant, and now a senior official of the Ministry of Rites. Hu Wujing, who are also senior members of the second rank.

The four pillars of the Li Si family in the prime minister's mansion are Ting Wei Yao Jia, Feng Chang Hu Wujing, Zhi Su Nei Shi Zheng Guo, and eunuch Ma Xing, but for some reason there are only three people present today, and the new minister of the Ministry of Industry, Zheng Guo, is yet to come. See.

The Taipu Mansion, which was in charge of the royal carriages and horses, was not abolished, but was renamed Taipu Temple, and the official position of Taipu Ma Xing was also renamed as the Second Grade Taipusi Qing.From being in charge of the royal family's chariots and horses, to being in charge of the administration of cattle and horses throughout the Great Qin Dynasty and other things related to livestock.

Compared with the previous imperial servants, the power of Taipu Siqing is one in the sky and one in the earth.Of course, Ma Xing also has two constraints under the Taipusi Minister, that is, two are the third-rank Taipu Shaoqing, four Taipusi Chancellors, 36 Taipusi members Wailang, and [-] Taipusi principals. .

Yao Jia spoke with a bit of resentment, and the few people around him were all stunned.Immediately afterwards, the original sound of toasting in the huge hall came to an abrupt end.A group of courtiers of the Li family who were far away from the hall were silent as if they were infected, and looked at the head of the hall.

There are two ministers, four ministers, sixteen ministers, and 36 ministers. It can be said that the authority of each department is delegated to each other, and then each performs his own duties.

This reformation.The position of Si Cheng in the 24 divisions counted by the six departments has not yet been announced.Although Si Cheng is only a fifth-rank official, everyone knows that each of the newly established six departments is a real person with real power.

The position is not high, but the authority is still great.

Under Sicheng there are also Si Fengling and Yuan Wailang.The newly established six ministries are not at all like the previous governments and government offices, and all affairs are decided by the Sangong Jiuqing.The rest of the many officials have to act according to the preferences of the lords of each mansion.

Although Shangshu is the most expensive one, if you can't control the two ministers and the four ministers well.Then it is just a tool for stamping the seal.

This is also the reason why, after the court meeting, all the courtiers of the Li family couldn't wait to gather in Li's residence.

If hundreds of years later, courtiers should gather together so blatantly.I'm afraid that before the banquet is over, there is already a decree from the palace to come directly to arrest people.

In Xianyang Palace, there are few restrictions on courtiers' personal relationships.This is also the reason why when the first emperor knew that Yao Jia, Zheng Guo, Ma Xing, and Hu Wujing were all important officials who followed Li Si's lead, he never questioned the crime.

Daqin was the first empire to create an imperial system.It should be regarded as the most enlightened politically.Not only because of the founding of the imperial system, but also because of the inclusiveness, bloodiness and loyalty of the Qin people to the royal family.

After Qin.Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, when one empire died on the land of China, another empire would rise, and so on. In order to maintain the rule of the world, successive emperors have gradually deepened the restrictions on the people and officials.

Yao Jia's words and the suddenly quiet hall caused Li You's hand, which had just picked up the wine bottle, to pause. He glanced at Yao Jia in dissatisfaction. Li You took advantage of the situation and raised the wine bottle and said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise, everyone, let's drink this cup together. , to wish me a prosperous Qin Dynasty! Please!"

"Your Majesty is wise, Great Qin is prosperous!"

Although the courtiers in the hall didn't understand what happened, they still raised their glasses and shouted in unison.

After drinking, the lobby once again resumed its previous hustle and bustle.As for what each person is thinking in their hearts, I am afraid that only they themselves know clearly.

Yao Jia's eyes flickered.

He saw the dissatisfied look in Li You's eyes just now. In fact, he knew he was wrong as soon as he said the words.

At this time, Li and his ministers were having a banquet. If he said such words at this time, if someone heard it and passed it on to that person, it would be a crime of great disrespect.Although he didn't say it clearly, who can know who he said?
"This Great Qin is your Majesty's Great Qin after all, and this world is your Majesty's world after all. As ministers, if we can share your Majesty's worries, that is your Majesty's trust. Uncle, remember this."

"I know, I know." Yao Jia raised his glass and said repeatedly, taking a sip of wine to cover up his embarrassment. After thinking about it, he seemed to be unwilling to accept it, and said again: "It's just the master, the six departments are the chief ministers and the chief ministers. , Yuan Wai Lang and other officials, where will the prince make an agreement?"

They are very clear that it seems that everything is decided by Ying Zheng, but in fact it is Prince Ying Gang who is really in charge.

Speaking of Ying Gang, Li You's face showed a trace of helplessness.

Compared with Ying Zheng, this brother-in-law who was much younger than him gave him a great headache.

I don't know what this guy's brain is doing, but he can come up with so many weird policies.

With the help of Ying Zheng, he now conceives and promulgates the entire Qin State's policies, giving orders like an emperor.

More importantly, he doesn't play cards according to the routine.

Li Jue married him, and his Li family was also his relatives logically, but he was particularly wary of the Li family. This time, in the division of the three lords and nine ministers, it was their faction that suffered the most.

If he hadn't been able to become the Minister of the Household Department, I'm afraid the Li family would have been hit hard again.

"Forget it, I will go to see His Royal Highness tonight, and find out the news for everyone."

Yao Jia shook his head and said, "I think it's better for the young master to meet the princess first, and it's not too late to find out what the prince has to say."
