The strongest Marquis in history

Wang Qi continued: "You formed a clique and gathered a large number of people. In the end, these people corrupted the law behind your back and were unscrupulous. On the contrary, Zhu Shanchang never formed a clique for personal gain. The officials under his command, as well as the people below, They are all capable officials."

"It pales in comparison."

"Just like you, you still want to wrestle with Zhu Shanchang and compete with Zhu Shanchang. It's really a dream."

"You didn't even manage to control your subordinates. Even when something happened to the people below, you said you didn't know about it. You didn't know, but they acted in your name. All of this, whether you participated or not, was your fault .”

Wang Qi said in a deep voice, "You, what else do you want to say?"

"The minister is gone!"

Mi Huang shook his head, he sighed in his heart, and was hit even harder.

Anyway, he is an important minister in the court, and he also boasts of outstanding ability.But now, he was deceived by the people below.He really didn't expect that such a situation would happen to a group of people he had always valued.

Wang Qi waved his hand and said, "Go down!"

"I retire!"

Mi Huang stood up, bowed to Wang Qi respectfully, then turned and left.The embarrassment at this moment made her heart feel sad, and even her back felt a little bit rickety.

Wang Qi looked at the back of Mi Huang leaving without any fluctuations in his mind.

Everything that is messed up is one's own fault.

If Mi Huang did not form a party for personal gain and did not have these ambitions, in fact Wang Qi still planned to reuse Mi Huang.Because Mi Huang already had ambitions, and the people below were not restrained.

Therefore, Wang Qi made a decisive move.

Wang Qi once again called for the servant, and asked Longying's Supervision Department to take the person directly.Up to now, all the people under Mi Huang's command must be taken down.

After Wang Qi arranged the matter, he stopped taking care of it and continued to review government affairs.

Chapter 917

Chang'an, in a residence in the west of the city.

This is Sima Chong's residence.

Sima Chong himself is an elderly man.When he was in the Kingdom of Shu, he persuaded Zhang Tianyi, the emperor of the Kingdom of Shu, to surrender. As far as the Kingdom of Qi is concerned, he has made great achievements.When Sima Chong came to Chang'an, because of his meritorious service, he won the false title of the second rank and was confessed.

Sima Chong didn't dislike him either, because the official rank of the second rank was already very good.

With this status, you can live in peace.

Sima Chong stayed at the mansion all day, reading and writing.From time to time, I also go around Chang'an City to see the changes in Chang'an.Such a leisurely day is not bad.

Sima Chong also admired the changes in Qi.

Qi Guo has really changed a lot.

In the former Qi State, that is, the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was no such thing as a situation where everyone had enough to eat, that is, in Qi State, this scene only existed.

This is almost unprecedented.

When Sima Chong was reading in his mansion today, an attendant came in and reported that someone arranged by Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Zhu Shanchang, had asked to see him.

Zhu Shanchang is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the head of all the officials in the court. Although he is not the prime minister, he is better than the prime minister.Such a person stomping his feet in Chang'an will make Chang'an tremble twice.

Sima rushed to an official who surrendered, he didn't dare to neglect in the slightest.

So as soon as Sima Chong got the news, he went out of the study and greeted him in the hall.When Sima Chong saw the attendant who came to deliver the letter, he immediately said, "I don't know why Zhu Shangshu sent someone to deliver the order?"

The attendant said: "This is a letter from Zhu Shangshu, Lord Sima please read it."

Sima Chong took it, and the attendant turned and left.

Sima Chong personally saw off the attendants before returning to the hall, and slowly opened the letter to check.When Sima Chong finished reading it, his face revealed a look of shock.

The official structure of the imperial court was adjusted, and he served as the second assistant of the cabinet.

This is so surprising.

Sima Chong also knew that Qu Ping, who served for the Chu State in the past, Wei Xi, who served for the Prince of Chu State, and even Li Hongzhong, who served for the Great Zhou Emperor, all served under Wang Qi's command.

But Sima Chong had never done any meritorious service at all, that is, he followed Zhang Tianyi, he had no hope of becoming an official, and it would be good if he could live a peaceful life.

When Sima Chong was living his life in a down-to-earth manner, he didn't expect the imperial court to order him.This order was personally arranged by Wang Qi, letting him serve as the cabinet's second assistant to assist the cabinet's chief assistant Zhu Shanchang in handling government affairs.

This situation is simply unexpected.

Sima Chong couldn't figure it out for the time being, because he never intervened in the situation of the court, so he didn't study the situation of the court.Sima Chong took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and thought about the countermeasures.

He now has two options.

First, obey the arrangement and go to the post.

Second, regardless of this matter, resign directly and do not intervene in the vortex of power between the DPRK and China.

However, Sima Chong had also served in the court at any rate, and had once served as the prime minister.Now he has the opportunity to become the second assistant, even if he was only used as a mascot during his tenure as the second assistant, Sima Chong is very happy in his heart.

If he doesn't have a chance, then that's all, forever.Sima Chong is not willing to miss this opportunity given by God.

Sima Chong made a decision in his heart, so he made up his mind to become an official.However, he didn't go to visit Zhu Shanchang right away, but put aside the matter for the time being. He went directly to the Ministry of Officials to visit Zhu Shanchang, which was inevitably inconvenient, after all, Zhu Shanchang was still busy.

It's not too late to visit after dark.

Sima Chong sat in the study, continuing to think about what to do next.Unconsciously, time passed, night fell, and when the sky was completely dark, Sima Chong even had dinner, and when it was relatively late, he ordered people to prepare a carriage and take the carriage to Zhu Shanchang's mansion.

When Sima Chong arrived at Zhu's mansion, his attendants knocked on the door.When the concierge came out, the attendant reported Sima Chong's visit.When the attendant heard that Sima Chong was coming, he invited Sima Chong into the mansion and asked someone to notify him at the same time.

Sima rushed into the hall to wait.

He did not take a seat, but stood and waited.

At this time, Sima Chong was still a little uneasy.After all, as the second assistant to the cabinet, this is not an ordinary official position, but an extremely important one.

According to Zhu Shanchang's letter, there are six members of the cabinet, one chief assistant and one second assistant, and the other four were promoted by various ministers.Even Mi Huang, Minister of the household department, is only a member of the cabinet.

He is a person without any foundation, but he has become the second assistant of the cabinet.In Sima Chong's view, this is the result of the power struggle, otherwise, it would be impossible for a person like him who has no foundation to serve as the cabinet's second assistant.

Just like this, Sima Chong was still a little worried.

While Sima Chong was waiting, not long after, there was a rush of footsteps.

It was Zhu Shanchang who entered.

With a smile on his face, Zhu Shanchang said, "Sima Gong, please sit down!"

Sima Chong hurriedly saluted and waited for Zhu Shanchang to take his seat before Sima Chong sat down.He had a serious expression on his face, and said solemnly: "Shoufu, I really don't know much about this cabinet. After all, I have never been involved in government affairs, and I don't know the situation in the court. So now, I specially come to visit, please The chief assistant dialed one or two."

Zhu Shanchang asked someone to serve tea, took a sip of hot tea, and then slowly said: "Sima Gong, the cabinet handles government affairs in full control of the state affairs, and the entire world's government affairs, no matter how big or small, are all approved by the cabinet."

"Of course, the final review of this matter must be made by His Majesty, and His Majesty should make a decision."

"Our cabinet includes the government affairs of the six ministries, and even Yushitai, Supervision Department, Guozijian, etc., are all under the review of the cabinet. As for Sima Gong, as the cabinet's second assistant, you are assisting the official in his work."

"In a word, we are all loyal to His Majesty and handle government affairs for His Majesty."

Zhu Shanchang said: "This is the general arrangement."

When Sima Chong heard this, he nodded and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, the chief assistant is the only one to follow."

This is the purpose of Sima Chong.

Also key.

He wants to declare that he is willing to assist Zhu Shanchang, and is willing to help Zhu Shanchang.

Only in this way can he become Zhu Shanchang's direct descendant. Otherwise, when there are conflicts between the DPRK and China cabinets and power struggles, Sima Chong, a person without foundation, will be easily affected.

Sima Chong is now serving as the second assistant of the cabinet, and his status has come to an end.If he resigns from this official position, then eventually he will resign in the future, and his false title and treatment will be improved.

He is now in the cabinet, which is also helpful to the family.

In short, even being a mascot is worth it.

Zhu Shanchang also smiled when he heard Sima Chong's words, why Wang Qi arranged Sima Chong as the cabinet's second assistant, so that Zhu Shanchang would not be restrained, and would not be affected by the second assistant or the rest of the staff.

Sima Chong really understood the situation.

Zhu Shanchang smiled and said: "With the assistance of Sima Gong, I believe that our cabinet will be able to run the government affairs of the court well, and will not disappoint His Majesty's trust."

Sima Chong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it.

Zhu Shanchang's words are tantamount to accepting him. He is in the cabinet, so he will not be a lone army.

If anything happens, it's all his fault.

Zhu Shanchang continued: "Sima Gong, you have been appointed by His Majesty to be the second assistant to the cabinet this time. The original candidate was Mi Huang, Shangshu of the Household Department. Now that Shangshu Mi has entered the cabinet, he is of a lower rank than you. Perhaps Mi Shangshu is not angry. , There will be some conflicts in words. You can relax, it's not that he is targeting you, it's just a little unbalanced."

Sima Chong said: "Your official understands, I will always remember your lord's instruction."

Zhu Shanchang also talked about some things in the current court, in short, it is to get closer to Sima Chong.After all, Sima Chong, as the second assistant, even if he has no foundation in the court, is still the second assistant of the imperial court, and is the person who assists him.

It is necessary to win over Sima Chong.

Zhu Shanchang had a conversation with Sima Chong, and then sent Sima Chong away in person before returning to the mansion to rest.

The next day, Zhu Shanchang formally formed a cabinet and completed the adjustment of various ministers.This adjustment is actually a reshuffle of the interest relationship between the DPRK and China. Zhu Shanchang took this opportunity to adjust officials so that he can govern himself.

The adjustment of the cabinet, as well as the adjustment of officials from the DPRK and China, has even involved localities.

The adjustment of the entire officials has been carried out for more than a month.After everything was adjusted, the cabinet was in charge, and the government affairs of the DPRK and China were soon on the right track.In particular, the existence of the cabinet has further reduced the pressure on Wang Qi, so that Wang Qi only needs to control the big government, and the rest of the government affairs should be delegated.

Time passed, and it entered June in a blink of an eye, and the weather gradually became hotter.

In the past six months, Wang Qi has further refined and optimized the army, and made minor adjustments to the court.In addition to the local business system, it is also gradually being further stimulated.

Even, Wang Qi copied more books, including steam engines, internal combustion engines, and trains, etc. These mechanical objects, new-generation tools, etc., were written down and handed over to the Academy of Science and Technology, so that the Academy of Science and Technology under the Ministry of Industry Responsible for research and development.

After all, today's Academy of Science and Technology is doing more and more research, and its research scope is also expanding.

The development of science and technology is necessary, especially the technology of the Hercynian Empire is not weak.In this regard, the Qi State has to catch up, that is, because of Wang Qi, who can clearly point out the development direction of science and technology, it can develop rapidly and develop from nothing to a little bit.

In the normal way of R&D, the direction of R&D alone requires too many ideas.

It can't be done overnight.

Chapter 918

The Ministry of Punishment, Department of Yamen.

Today's minister of the Ministry of punishment is named Jia Xing.

When Wang Qi was the Prime Minister of Langya Kingdom, Jia Xing was the county magistrate of Langya Kingdom, that is, Qiu County, and he was the first group of people to follow Wang Qi.As Wang Qi's territory became bigger and bigger, and as Qi's territory became wider and wider, Jia Xing was also promoted step by step.

Jia Xing is also capable, and he eventually became the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.Following Liu Zhengyuan, the former minister of the Ministry of punishment, after entering the cabinet, Jia Xing straightened up and became the minister of the Ministry of punishment, presiding over the overall situation of the Ministry of punishment.

The Ministry of Punishment went through Cui Dongshan in the past, then to Liu Zhengyuan, and now to Jia Xing, all the rules have been set.

And the entire government is functioning well.

Jia Xing served as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Although he had a heavy responsibility, it was actually quite relaxed and there were not many difficulties.After all, there are the Intelligence Bureau, the Yushitai, and the Supervision Department. The existence of these institutions makes corruption less common.

There are fewer major cases handled by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and at most they are some homicide cases.

Jia Xing is in the government office, flipping through the files from the past.

This is something he does when he has nothing to do.

Jia Xing climbed up step by step from the ground, and experienced too many things.He has some plans and ideas about his future, and hopes that he can enter the cabinet in the future.

It is definitely impossible to ask for the chief assistant of the cabinet.With his ability, it is still beyond his power to become the chief assistant of the cabinet.However, if one can become the second assistant of the cabinet and retire from the official position of the second assistant of the cabinet in one's lifetime, the treatment will be different.

This is Jia Xing's ambition.

What Jia Xing is doing now is to consolidate the foundation step by step.Every time he was an official, he was responsible for the things he was responsible for, and he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

In order to know the cases of the Ministry of Criminal Justice thoroughly, Jia Xing read carefully even the cases that have been closed, so as to be familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

In addition to the current laws of the state of Qi, they are also carefully kept in mind.

This is the most basic basic skill.

Most of Qi's laws were inherited from the Great Zhou Dynasty, with only some deletions and adjustments.While Jia Xing was flipping through the past files, suddenly, a servant hurried in.

The servant bowed and saluted, and reported: "Jia Shangshu, Jing Zhaoyin's side, Jing Zhaoyin, Qin Renyuer, asked to see him. He asked to transfer a major local case to our Ministry of Criminal Affairs. He said that the case is extremely serious, and Jing Zhaoyin's side is difficult to solve. , dare not make a decision.”

When Jia Xing heard this, he frowned and ordered: "Please come in."
